Chapter 527 The whole story, who is it targeting
Hearing the footsteps, Cai Quanwu and the others turned around and looked outside the door.
In sight, a middle-aged man and woman came to the door of Sha Zhu's house.
The two men walked to the door, but did not enter the house, but stopped at the door.
Before Cai Quanwu and the others could ask, the other party saw Cai Quanwu and the others looking at him, and the man took the initiative to explain:
"Hello, we are the neighbors who just moved into the courtyard today. We came to meet you."
When Cai Quanwu heard this, he knew the other party's identity and immediately stood up and walked to the door.
"Hello, hello, my last name is Cai, I live across from you, this is my nephew's house."
"Come on, come in and sit for a while."
After introducing himself, Cai Quanwu invited the other party into the house.
"Got it."
The other party didn't act pretentiously and agreed.
After entering the house, Cai Quanwu told He Yushui: "Yushui, make two cups of tea."
When He Yushui heard the instruction, he happily ran to make tea.
"Sit down."
After He Yushui got up and left, Cai Quanwu asked the two of them to sit in the seat where He Yushui had just sat.
After sitting down, the man took out a cigarette and started to smoke.
Cai Quanwu took the cigarette without hesitation, but Sha Zhu refused: "I don't smoke."
When the other party heard Sha Zhu say this, he didn't force it and took one on his own.
He took out a match, struck it, and after it lit up, he first lit the cigarette for Cai Quanwu, then lit his own cigarette, shook it, and threw the extinguished match to the ground.
After taking a puff of cigarette, the other party introduced himself:
"My last name is Zhang, my name is Zhang Bing, I work in the supply and marketing cooperative, and this is my wife, Pan Ling, she also works in the supply and marketing cooperative."
"We will be neighbors in the same courtyard from now on. Please forgive me if there is anything I haven't done well enough."
Zhang Bing knew that he had a large family and several children.
It’s okay for adults, but if the children disturb everyone when they are fighting, I hope everyone won’t take it too seriously.
When Cai Quanwu heard the introduction, he was surprised. Wow, they are both working, no wonder they have the confidence to ask the street vendor about the house.
But then I thought, that’s not right. With such good conditions, why don’t you learn from me and buy two rooms with your own money?
It’s just that Cai Quanwu was not comfortable asking this question directly.
After a while, He Yushui came over with tea.
"Drink tea, drink tea."
After He Yushui placed the tea in front of the two people, Cai Quan greeted them without any courtesy.
After putting down the tea, He Yushui ran over and sat down next to Cai Quanwu.
"You're welcome." Zhang Bing quickly waved his hand to express his gratitude.
We just met and were not familiar with each other, but then we started chatting casually.
After this conversation, Cai Quanwu’s previous doubts were resolved.
Although Zhang Bing and his wife are both working, the burden is heavy.
The couple works to support their mother and four children. They also have a younger brother in the countryside who needs help from time to time.
Now my eldest son has reached the age to get married and has started dating someone, but the current house is too small for them to live in, so the marriage has been delayed again and again.
I went to the street many times but the housing problem was not solved.
The reason is that the conditions are not met.
They were reluctant to ask the couple to pay for the house as it was a heavy burden after all, and their son was getting married, which would cost more money.
I wanted to wait until my son got his own room, but unexpectedly someone was willing to exchange rooms.
After learning about the conditions of Yi Zhonghai's house, the couple thought about it and felt that they should be able to live there, so they immediately agreed to change houses.
Now Cai Quanwu roughly understood the ins and outs of the room change.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Bing and his wife said goodbye, saying that they had to visit other families to say hello and get to know them.
Cai Quanwu did not try to persuade the other party to stay and walked him to the door.
After Zhang Bing and his wife left, Sha Zhu smiled and said:
“This family is very lucky.”
"Yi Zhonghai's house is better than the two rooms you have. Although it's a bit crowded for their family, they can still accommodate them."
"If they buy the other house, it will be spacious."
"But that room has been unoccupied for a long time, so we need to spend money to renovate it."
Cai Quanwu knew that what Sha Zhu said was true, this family was indeed very lucky.
The two rooms that Yi Zhonghai lived in were in the east wing of the central courtyard, and were indeed better than the west wing where he lived.
After all, in the ancients' thinking, the east is valuable and the west is cheap. In ancient times, the east wing was where the eldest son of the eldest house lived, so it would naturally be built better than the west wing.
As for the other room that Sha Zhu mentioned, Cai Quanwu didn't know why Yi Zhonghai didn't take it.
Cai Quanwu had no idea about the situation of the house and had never asked about it.
Because it's a bit run-down.
Maybe someone had lived there before, so Yi Zhonghai didn’t have the chance to take it over.
Later, when no one lived there, Yi Zhonghai and his wife had no children and didn't have the time to think about so many things.
"Okay, we can't interfere in other people's affairs, let's go back to sleep."
Cai Quanwu didn’t have the time to worry about other people’s affairs, so he said something and went home to rest.
……
Time flies, and another half month has passed.
The people in the courtyard gradually adapted to the departure of Yi Zhonghai's family and accepted the joining of the Zhang family.
The couple worked in the supply and marketing cooperative. They would buy things for the people in the courtyard when they had nothing to do and quickly integrated into the courtyard.
The Central Courtyard is much more lively than before because of the Zhang family moving in.
There are many children, and they are playing and jumping around all day long, which makes the place lively.
That night, Cai Quanwu, Sha Zhu and others were having dinner when the second uncle came to inform them that a meeting of the entire hospital would be held in the evening.
"Second Uncle, there's nothing going on in the courtyard, why do we have to hold a meeting?" Sha Zhu asked puzzledly when Second Uncle said that there would be a meeting in the evening.
"Why is everything okay?"
The second uncle asked back, and then listed:
"You have a new member of the Central Court, so let's count that as one."
"Also, after Yi Zhonghai and his wife moved away, the task of taking care of the deaf old lady in the backyard fell on your second and third aunts."
"It used to be a matter for three people, but now it's two people taking care of it. Should this matter be resolved?"
After the second uncle said this, Sha Zhu was suddenly speechless.
The reason for this meeting is legitimate.
After the second uncle left, Cai Quanwu was thinking about the purpose of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's meeting tonight.
I don’t know who Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui are targeting.
The saying that there are new people in the Intermediate Court is just an excuse.
If a meeting was to be held for this matter, it would have been held long ago.
The following words are the key points.
It is estimated that after Yi Zhonghai and his wife moved away, the second and third aunts were a little unhappy about taking care of the deaf old lady, so they conspired with Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong to hold this meeting.
After the first aunt left, it was naturally impossible for her to come back to take care of the deaf old lady, which meant that her task was shared by the two aunts.
There are so many things to do, but the money remains the same. It would be strange if the two aunts didn't have any ideas.
Before Cai Quanwu could figure out the purpose of this meeting, Sha Zhu pouted at the back of the Second Master and cursed:
"I don't do any work every day, but I feel full of energy when I hold a meeting."
When Cai Quanwu heard Sha Zhu cursing behind the second uncle's back, he felt like laughing.
Isn’t this what Ah Q often does?
"Come on, say less. The person hasn't gone far yet, so don't let anyone hear you." Cai Quanwu reminded.
"What if I heard it?" Sha Zhu said stubbornly.
Upon hearing this, Cai Quanwu ignored him and started eating.
After finishing the meal, before I had a short rest, a gong sounded in the yard.
"Take the stool and go."
After the gong sounded, Cai Quanwu told Sha Zhu to bring a stool, and he, Xiao Wu, and He Yushui walked out empty-handed.
When I arrived at the door, I saw people who heard the gong sound coming from the front yard and the back yard to the middle yard one after another.
The second and third uncles had already moved out the square table used for meetings, and were sitting there chatting about something.
Cai Quanwu and his friends found a place to put down their stools, sat down, and waited for the meeting to begin.
Before long, most of the people in the yard had arrived.
When Cai Quanwu saw Xu Fugui's family, the thought that was interrupted by Sha Zhu just now popped up again...
