Chapter 295 Earthquake (4)
"Bang bang bang..."
"Da Mao, is Damao here?"
"Open the door for me, I am your uncle."
In the yard, Xu Damao was joking with Xiao Li, saying that she would be the young master's wife in the future, when suddenly he heard Liu Haizhong's voice.
"Liu Haizhong?" Xu Damao asked in confusion, "Why are you knocking on the door again?"
"I guess he came to inform the street office about something, and by the way, ask if we want to overcome the difficulties together." Li Kangri said with a smile.
"Together? There's nothing wrong with our brains, why should we do that? Let them take advantage of us? That's wishful thinking." Xu Damao said.
"That's what they think. Just go and say hello to them! Just say we'll handle our own affairs and won't get involved with them."
"Okay, Master."
After saying that, Xu Damao went straight to the door.
When I opened the door, as expected, Liu Haizhong was peeking inside.
"Uncle, what's the matter?"
"Oh, the neighborhood office said that we were not at the epicenter of this earthquake, and it was just an aftershock. But we still have to wait for notification on the specific day when we will be fine. The neighborhood office told us to unite and tide over the difficulties together, so I came here to ask, how about we..."
"Haha, uncle, we can take care of ourselves and not cause you any trouble. You should pay more attention to other neighbors!" Xu Damao said with a smile.
After hearing Xu Damao's words, Liu Haizhong was stunned for a moment and then said, "Da Mao, what I mean is, why don't we go together? Their front yard and middle yard are together."
Hearing Liu Haizhong say this, Xu Damao thought to himself, "It is true, but I don't want you to take advantage of me."
So he smiled and said, "Uncle, the front yard belongs to the front yard, and the middle yard belongs to the middle yard. If you think it's okay, you can go to the front yard or the middle yard to join us. We happen to be a big family here, and my master definitely doesn't want outsiders to join us. What do you think?"
"Oh, okay!" Liu Haizhong said disappointedly. There was no other way. He dared not provoke Li Kangri. Although Li Kangri had no power now, he was rich. There was no pressure at all to deal with someone like him, especially since he was still thinking about how to get rich by taking advantage of Xu Damao.
After sending Liu Haizhong away, Xu Damao closed the door and said with a smile, "Master, Liu Haizhong is here to be our partner."
"Who cares!" Li Kangri said with a smile.
After saying that, he looked at Sha Zhu and said, "Zhu Zi, get ready later. Let's have a good time together. Get ready for lunch, since we have plenty of food."
"Okay, Master, I'll do it right away. You are really foresighted. Everything is ready." Sha Zhu laughed.
Just like that, at noon, when others were still thinking about how to eat, a tempting aroma came from the backyard.
In the middle courtyard, Jia Zhang, who was growling with hunger, smelled the fragrance, "What's that smell? Why is it so fragrant? Who is cooking?"
"Grandma, do I need to describe the taste? It must have been made by Sha Zhu!" Bang Geng said with drooling.
"This idiot, he doesn't even know to send us something to eat. What did the master say was so good? At this time, what do we want?" Jia Zhang said shamelessly.
"Grandma, we need to unite and overcome difficulties together." Xiaodang echoed.
"Yes, that's what I meant. Huairu, go talk to Yi Zhonghai and ask him to talk to Shazhu and the others and ask them to send us some food. I'm starving."
After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at her and said, "Mom, do you think that the old man can talk to Sha Zhu? Do you think the old man dares to talk to the door of the Li family? You just think about this kind of thing."
"Humph, isn't it time for them to help? We're all from the same courtyard, they can't just watch us starve! Can they live with their conscience?"
"Conscience?" Qin Huairu said contemptuously, "Mom, you are ridiculous. I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go ask the old man how to solve the problem of lunch."
After saying that, Qin Huairu walked straight to Yi Zhonghai, who was busy directing everyone to set up the shed.
"Uncle, what about our lunch? Should I make it? Or…"
"Oh, Huairu! I was just about to look for you. You and your Aunt Li and the others can go and do it! But we don't have much vegetables, just a little bit of flour. As for vegetables, you know, everyone buys them for one day and eats them one day at a time." Yi Zhonghai explained.
"Ah! There are no vegetables! So should we make noodles or steamed buns?" Qin Huairu said disappointedly.
"Let's just use steamed buns. The noodles are tasteless."
"Uncle, Shazhu and his family seem to have vegetables and meat in their backyard. What do you think we should..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Yi Zhonghai interrupted her, "Huai Ru, forget about the backyard. Sha Zhu will never agree to it, and the Li family is not easy to mess with, so let's find a way to serve the customer ourselves!"
"Oh! Then I'll go find Aunt Li." Qin Huairu said.
She knew this would be the case, but she couldn't help wanting to ask Yi Zhonghai.
At the same time, there was a heated argument in the front yard because it was lunchtime and no one had gotten anything together.
Those who had food didn't want to give out their own food, while those who didn't have food wanted others to give out their food. But no one took the lead in giving out food, so a quarrel broke out.
"Second uncle, you are the second uncle, you order them to bring out the food."
"I say Liangzi, you make it sound easy, why don't you take it?"
"I don't have any food at home. This restaurant just ran out of noodles. If I had some, I would definitely take it out."
"Hey, who can't say nice things? If you don't have money, you can take some money out? You take the money and I take two lines?"
"Hey, what time is it? Why are you still fussing about this? Second Uncle, tell me, should we take the money?"
"Well...if you ask me, at a time like this, everyone should contribute food if they have food, and contribute labor if they have labor. Those who contribute food can work less, or not work at all. It's up to you what you think?" Yan Fugui said seriously.
"Haha, Uncle Er, does your family provide food or labor?" someone said contemptuously.
"My family! All the food in my family has been pressed down, so my family is contributing. And you know, there are many people in my family, so my family is contributing. And although my family has no food, we have wood! Aren't we going to build an earthquake-resistant shed later? What do you think if my family contributes?" Yan Fugui said.
"Second uncle, don't talk so nicely. Your family only has you and your eldest son. There aren't many people. As for wood, my family has no shortage of it. I can put some together and build our own. So you guys can play by yourselves. You can't take advantage of me."
After saying that, the man turned around and went to his door.
"This..." Yan Fugui said helplessly.
"Second uncle, I'm doing it myself, but I'm just a bunch of people trying to take advantage of me. I'm not stupid. I don't know when the grain store will open. Don't say you don't pay, even if you pay several times more, I don't want to pay for the grain."
