"Da Mao has opened it so many times, why don't you call me."

"Good grandson, I told Da Mao not to let him tell you."

Before Xu Damao could speak, the grandmother sitting next to Jiang Yan suddenly said something, and before Jiang Yan could ask, she continued.

"Strictly speaking, you are not a person in the courtyard, and in the courtyard, you don't need to participate in those trivial things, you are a person who does big things, there is no need to distract yourself from these small things, I didn't let Damao inform you."

"It's okay grandma, if I wasn't busy, I could go over, I can go over and have a look in my free time, I'm not a person who jumped out of the cracks in the stones, I can't help but eat the fireworks in the world! You're right! ”

Jiang Yan smiled and said to the old lady.

"You monkey cub, that's a good point, this distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor! It's good to look at the lives of the little people, so that you can see for a long time. ”

"Grandma, you say, let's have a meeting! What's going on with striking the gong. ”

Jiang Yan was naturally ashamed to ask if he didn't understand things, not to mention that it was his grandmother who asked.

It's too troublesome to hold a conference and notify door-to-door!

As soon as you take a gong and strike it, everyone knows that the whole house meeting is going to be held as soon as you hear it. ”

Jiang Yan responded with a smile: "This is really the first time I've known about this matter, and I've really learned a lot."

"Let's all go tonight." Grandma opened her mouth with a final word.

Hearing that grandma was going, everyone's faces changed except Jiang Yan.

They all know that the old lady has a very high status in this courtyard, and she is also quite respected.

This kind of respect does not refer to the old lady's age or high status, but to the things she does in the courtyard.

Before the liberation of her rented a house, other landlords did not charge gold yuan coupons as rent, the old lady collected, or according to the market price, after the liberation of the ration of food, some difficult families in the food is not enough to eat, the old lady will always secretly give them some food, every time in the yard to meet other children, the old lady as long as there is something to eat in the pocket, with will be distributed to the children, there is time for the three masters can not deal with the old lady will always help deal with the matter, she deals with it very fair.

Therefore, everyone respects the old lady very much.

However, the old lady likes to be quiet and does not like to move, and she basically does not participate in the meetings in the courtyard if there are no major events.

The reason why she participated this time was the reason why Jiang Yan wanted to go.

Jiang Yan and the others finished eating, cleaned up, and the group came to the middle courtyard.

The old lady explained to Jiang Yan by the way: "To hold a general meeting of the whole house, you don't need everyone to come, just one person from each family." ”

Hearing grandma's words, Jiang Yan nodded and said that he understood.

In fact, some people come alone, some people may come several, and even the whole family will come to join in the fun, and sometimes the people in the courtyard next door will also come to join in the fun.

In this era, there is no TV at night, there are few radios, and as for the nightlife at all, in order to save electricity bills, people have also developed the habit of getting up early and going to bed early, as long as it is dark, everyone basically lies in bed and sleeps.

And the whole house meeting, for people who lack entertainment activities in this era, is equivalent to a kind of entertainment activity, everyone will come to join in the fun.

When I came to the middle courtyard, I saw adults and children, lively and lively.

Some people sat in the courtyard with stools, some squatted on the steps under the porch, some stood with their arms crossed, and some leaned against the pillars outside the porch.

Adults who have a good relationship salute each other's cigarettes, and then talk to each other about something.

The bear children were running around in the yard, and from time to time they were scolded by the adults in the family.

In the center of the courtyard, there is a somewhat tattered table.

At this time, the three masters were already sitting at the table, and they were getting together, muttering something in a low voice.

Yi Zhonghai is in the center, and on both sides are the second uncle, Liu Haizhong, and the third uncle, Yan Bugui.

Everyone has a large enamel tea jar in front of them, and there are some peanuts and melon seeds on the table.

These peanuts and melon seeds are bought by the three masters in turn.

From time to time, adults and children run over, and Yan Bugui, the third master, will pinch a small handful of melon seeds and a few peanuts, and leave happily after getting the snacks.

Seeing Jiang Yan and the old lady coming over, he hurriedly stood up in the bangs that were talking to the first and third masters.

The trot came to Jiang Yan and the old lady.

"Mr. Jiang, old lady, why are you here today, I still want to bother you with these little things! I knew you were coming, so I went over and invited you. ”

"Second uncle, this is not in the rolling mill, this is in the courtyard, you are the second uncle in the courtyard, you belong to the leader in the courtyard, you call me Xiao Jiang!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, what kind of leader is the leader in this quadrangle, or the leader of the rolling mill is the biggest, the biggest."

The second uncle's bangs said that he was sincerely afraid.

While the second uncle was talking, the first uncle, Yi Zhonghai, and the third uncle, Yan Bugui, also came to the old lady and Jiang Yan to say hello to the two of them.

"Xiao Jiang, you are an engineer in the rolling mill, otherwise organize a meeting with us." Yi Zhonghai, the first uncle, asked.

"Forget it! Uncle Yi, I still say the same thing, you are the leader in the courtyard, I just listen to it below, I am not all the people in the courtyard. ”

"Old lady, either you go up." Seeing that he couldn't persuade himself, Yi Zhonghai turned his head and asked his grandmother again.

Grandma didn't say anything, just bowed to him. ，

After the greetings, Jiang Yan took his grandmother to sit down under the arrangement of the pillar, and saw the second uncle stand up, clear his throat first, and then said loudly: "Okay, okay!" It's all quiet!

Families are here, now the meeting begins!

Next, the master of our hospital will announce the content of this conference. ”

After saying that, he sat down with bangs.

As Bang Hai Zhong announced the start of the conference, the courtyard gradually fell silent.

The bear children also got honest under the scolding of the adults.

Yi Zhonghai, who was sitting in the center, first glanced at the people in the courtyard solemnly, and then said loudly: "The reason why we convened this whole house meeting today is because our three uncles received a notice from the neighborhood committee!" ”

"Recently, we have expanded our rolling mill, we need a large number of recruitment, the news of recruitment has been notified to the neighborhood committee, all eligible people will report their names to the three masters for registration, and then they will be handed over to the neighborhood committee."

"Uncle Yi, what are the conditions!"

"That's right! Can an uncle enter the rolling mill as long as he registers? ”

The people below began to talk about it, and when they saw that it was a little out of control below, the second uncle picked up the lid on the big tea jar and patted it.

"It's all quiet, it's all quiet, and I don't want to hear it anymore."

Hearing the words of the second uncle, everyone quieted down.

At this time, an uncle re-opened his mouth and said: "The age of recruitment is 25 years old, people who are able-bodied, the least culture is to graduate from high school, and those who sign up go to the rolling mill for the unified examination and wait for the notice." ”

Hearing the conditions that the first master said, the people below exploded the pot again.

"Why is it a high school, but not a junior school!"

"That is, although I don't know how to read, but I have the strength, you go and talk about it, it's not fair."

The second master said it a few more times above, and the people below were still talking. No one paid any attention to him.

Jiang Yan, who was sitting below, almost laughed out loud when he saw this situation.
