Two bowls of soup and two big steamed buns, dinner is solved.
When Jia Dongsheng left the room, the Intermediate Court had already started gathering people, all waiting for the full court meeting.
"Dongsheng, come and sit down."
Sha Zhu was sitting on a long bench under a locust tree. When he saw Jia Dongsheng come out, he immediately greeted him.
These days, Sha Zhu has been feeling a little depressed. There's nothing he can do about it. His mortal enemy Xu Damao actually has a girlfriend and keeps showing off in front of him. It would be strange if Sha Zhu could be in a good mood.
So, when Sha Zhu was cleaning the toilet every day, he was thinking about finding a partner as soon as possible.
In his heart, the first choice is of course the goddess Qin Huairu.
However, Qin Huairu was no longer polite to him and treated him like a neighbor, which made Sha Zhu very disappointed.
Seeing that Qin Huairu had no chance of becoming his real sister-in-law, Sha Zhu was also thinking of other ways, but over the years, he only had Qin Huairu in his eyes. It was really difficult for him to find a partner at once.
"Shazhu, when does the whole-school meeting start?" Jia Dongsheng walked over and sat on the stool.
“Almost.”
Sha Zhu's voice was a little low: "I just checked, and most of the twenty or so households in our yard have already arrived. I estimate that we can start in ten minutes or so."
"I see you're not in the right mood, what's wrong?"
"Alas, it's still Xu Damao."
Sha Zhu's face darkened even more. "That bastard blocks me in the bathroom every day, showing off that he has a girlfriend. If it weren't for the fact that he runs fast, I'd definitely give him a good beating."
"hehe......"
Upon hearing this, Jia Dongsheng couldn't help laughing out loud. There was nothing he could do. People like Xu Damao were really funny. He even made Sha Zhu feel disgusted when he blocked the toilet. It was true that they were a pair of enemies.
"Are you still laughing?"
Sha Zhu didn't expect that Jia Dongsheng was so unsympathetic and could even laugh out loud. This was simply adding insult to injury.
"Haha, I can't help it. I usually don't laugh out loud."
Jia Dongsheng smiled again: "Unless you can't help it."
"That's just you. If it were anyone else, I would definitely give him a beating."
Jia Dongsheng still believed what Sha Zhu said, only because Sha Zhu knew that he could not beat him. Otherwise, with his violent temper, how could he tolerate other people's ridicule?
Although, Jia Dongsheng did not think he was being mocked.
Just as Sha Zhu said, ten minutes later, all the twenty or so families in the courtyard had arrived. Xu Damao even staggered in front of Jia Dongsheng and Sha Zhu, and of course, mainly in front of Sha Zhu.
"Shazhu, squeeze in and let me sit down too." Xu Damao was not polite and walked over to sit on the same bench with Jia Dongsheng and Shazhu.
"You have a big face?"
Sha Zhu's face darkened: "Do you think I won't cut you just because there are so many people in the yard?"
"Hey, Shazhu, when did you become so stingy? I have something to ask of you this time." Xu Damao said sarcastically.
"Please me?"
Hearing that Xu Damao had something to ask for, Sha Zhu was skeptical at first, then he smiled. If he really had something to ask him, then he would have to talk to him properly.
"What do you want from me?"
"Hey, Shazhu, I'm getting married on the 20th, come and cook me a meal."
"Get lost."
When Sha Zhu heard that Xu Damao was going to get married, he was as angry as if his woman had been taken away by someone else. His eyes were wide open, as if he was going to attack at the next moment.
Frightened, Xu Damao quickly ran to Jia Dongsheng's side. If Sha Zhu took action, Xu Damao believed that Jia Dongsheng would be able to hold Sha Zhu back.
"Da Mao, are you getting married?" Jia Dongsheng asked curiously. While speaking, he moved closer and made room for Xu Damao to sit.
"Yeah, I'm married."
There was an indescribable expression on Xu Damao's face, some happy, some bitter, and the meaning was hard to understand.
"My father-in-law said that since Xiao'e and I get along well, we should get married quickly, so we looked at the date and it's the 20th."
Jia Dongsheng could see that Xu Damao was not very happy. Perhaps he thought that if he didn't get married, he wouldn't be exposed as a childless person. Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished, and he had no say in his marriage.
Sha Zhu, who was standing aside, had a dazed expression on his face. His mortal enemy was actually getting married. This bad guy could actually get married. Is this fair?
Until the whole school meeting started, Sha Zhu was still in shock. This was a big blow to him.
At some point, a long table had been placed in the open space in the middle courtyard. Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Fugui were sitting behind the table, with a teacup in front of each of them, giving them a sense of leadership.
On both sides of the table sat an old man and an old woman.
The old lady was a deaf old lady, the oldest person in the courtyard, with no children or spouse. It was said that she had been married, but her spouse and son died on the battlefield. Jia Dongsheng was not clear about the facts and did not inquire in detail.
However, most people in the yard respect the deaf old lady very much. It is estimated that the rumor is not groundless. After all, before the Republic of China, women got married early. The deaf old lady is so old, it is impossible that she does not have a partner and children.
Since it disappeared after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is estimated that it died in the war.
The other old man is Lao Jintou who lives in the front yard. He also has no children, no partner, but he is different from the deaf old lady. Lao Jintou is a Manchu. He was once glorious, but later fell into poverty.
But he was still a very nice person. He lived in the yard and would help anyone who had problems. However, he later fell ill and became weak. He lost his ability to work and could only live on the minimum living allowance.
"Ahem."
Liu Haizhong coughed twice before speaking, and he didn't know who he had copied. Seeing that everyone had quieted down, he spoke: "This time we are holding a meeting in the compound. Everyone should know the reason. I will say it again."
Speaking of which, among the three uncles in charge of the courtyard, Liu Hai is the most enthusiastic about holding meetings. He always rushes to speak at every meeting and is an absolute activist.
If he could have this positive attitude when facing the leaders in the factory, he would have become a small leader long ago, and would not have been able to only satisfy his desire to be a leading cadre in the yard.
"Last night there was a strong wind and heavy rain, which damaged the roofs of both the deaf old lady and the old man's house. It also rained all day today, so they need to be repaired."
"Everyone knows that the deaf old lady and the old man with golden hair are both dead, and there's no way they can repair their house. But they still have us as neighbors. How can we just ignore the neighbors?"
"Of course not."
"So, the three of us uncles discussed it and decided that as neighbors, we should help each other. Everyone should donate a little money to repair the houses of the deaf old lady and the old man with the golden head."
"That's all I have to say. Let me tell you something."
These words were said with great skill. The people in the yard all nodded, agreeing with the idea of mutual help among neighbors. Then they turned their eyes to Yi Zhonghai to see what he had to say.
