When there were over a hundred people, there was a wide variety of people, especially since most of them were older women. The entire front yard of No. 23 Compound was as noisy as a duck farm!
It was only after Wang Xiaolan had someone bring out a gong, struck it several times, and shouted for silence that the crowd stopped chatting.
"Today, I've been sent here by Director Gao from the Subdistrict Office to explain the new hygiene regulations to everyone. Everyone, please be quiet. What's coming next is very important!
In order to enforce the new health regulations, anyone who violates the regulations will be punished according to the regulations they violated. The first violation will be a warning, the second violation will be fined between 20 and 50 cents, and the third violation will be paraded through the streets with a sign hanging on it!
Wang Xiaolan's words were like a bomb dropped into the water, and the crowd exploded with a roar!
Everyone was talking about it. Fines had happened before, but parading people through the streets with a sign hanging on their backs was really scary.
Ye Zhiqiu felt that he had underestimated this cheap old woman. She was not at all stage-frightened and picked up the gong and started beating it.
When the crowd quieted down again, she did as Ye Zhiqiu had said, instructing them to study the rules carefully and to teach their families about them at night. As long as they didn't make any mistakes, there would be no punishment.
Wang Xiaolan first read the new regulations, then asked everyone: "Have you memorized them all? Raise your hands if you haven't memorized them all!"
Seeing a group of people raising their hands, Wang Xiaolan was not worried. She said with a smile: "In order to make everyone remember it more deeply, we will enter the national learning stage next!
This learning process is also very simple. Just announce the new hygiene regulations to everyone! If you don't understand it once, it's okay. If you don't understand it twice, it's okay. But if you still can't remember it after hearing it eight or ten times,
If you are caught violating the rules, don't blame me, Wang Xiaolan, for fining you mercilessly! Now, Ye Zhiqiu, come here, I'll start reading from you first!
Ye Zhiqiu was tall to begin with, and he stood out in the crowd. Hearing Wang Xiaolan's words, he was dumbfounded, pointing at his nose in disbelief.
Wang Xiaolan said impatiently: "That's right, although you are my son, you are also a member of the group learning the new hygiene regulations, so it's most appropriate for you to start this!"
Come on, this cheap old lady is using herself as a template for others! Fortunately, she was able to think of a way to make all these aunts and sisters-in-law read it once in order to save herself from wasting so much time.
There was no other way, Ye Zhiqiu could only squeeze to the middle, take the document, and read it aloud.
Next, everyone took turns. This thing doesn’t have much content and can be read through in two or three minutes!
And it’s really hard not to remember it, because after listening to the same content sixty or seventy times, it’s hard not to memorize it!
Anyway, Ye Zhiqiu's head was buzzing at this time, with all kinds of voices reading the health regulations, as if he had been brainwashed!
It wasn't just him, but almost everyone present was like this. Some of them couldn't control themselves and started reciting along with others when they were reciting.
Wang Xiaolan was very satisfied. After one person finished reading, she struck the gong and said loudly to everyone, "I think today's study was very successful. It's getting late now, so everyone should go back and prepare dinner.
But before we adjourn the meeting, I would like to remind you that you have the responsibility and obligation to make your family members memorize these regulations after you go back!
Otherwise, if I catch you, I'll give you a warning the first time, a fine the second time, and a parade with a sign on the third time! Everyone, please remember this, don't bring bad luck to your family!"
When they heard that the meeting could be adjourned, everyone became excited and answered the questions in a messy manner.
They had to admit, they were a little scared of Wang Xiaolan now! If she caught them again and they had to hold a meeting like this, their heads would be buzzing with anxiety...
Wang Xiaolan announced that the conference was a complete success and everyone could leave in an orderly manner.
Looking at the people rushing out, Ye Zhiqiu pulled an old man and said with a smile: "Uncle Sun, you live here, where are you going?"
Grandpa Sun, who was being held by Ye Zhiqiu, was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh! I saw everyone running out, and I got confused and started running with the crowd..."
It's really speechless, but this kind of thing is not uncommon. The herd mentality often makes people make such jokes.
After the crowd dispersed, Wang Xiaolan and Ye Zhiqiu also walked out. She asked proudly, "Son, did Mommy do well this time? I thought I would be nervous, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I wasn't nervous anymore. Instead, I was excited!"
Ye Zhiqiu gave a thumbs up and said, "Mom, you performed very well today. If you hadn't tricked me, it would have been perfect!"
"What do you mean by 'deceiving you'? I'm afraid others won't obey, so naturally I have to let you take the lead! Don't I understand these people? If there's someone taking the lead, they'll just follow along and recite instead of asking endless questions..."
Listening to Wang Xiaolan's proud words, Ye Zhiqiu actually understood a little bit. This Wang Xiaolan was what later generations called a stage personality!
Many people are like this. They stumble when talking to others, but once they go on stage, they become a different person, so full of energy!
Wang Xiaolan is, needless to say, this type of person, and quite suitable for her job! They work in the street office, often have to publicize various policies and speak to the crowd. This kind of personality is very suitable!
After returning to the courtyard gate, Wang Xiaolan did not go home. She went back to the street office to report on her work. She wanted to report her work experience today to Director Gao and use it as a template for other colleagues to carry out their work.
Ye Zhiqiu is still very ambitious. He just doesn't want to make progress himself. However, if his family members want to make progress, he would be happy to see it.
Ye Zhiqiu returned to the living room. Ye Bailu was sleeping on the table. Wang Fugui saw him come in and made a hushing gesture.
He whispered, "Little Bailu is tired from flying a kite today. She practiced calligraphy for a long time after coming back, and she just fell asleep. Don't talk too loudly and disturb her, otherwise she won't have the energy to eat later."
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and nodded, and he also whispered: "Okay, I'll go water the vegetables and make dinner later."
"Remember to serve the dandelions soaked in the basin cold. Little Bailu said she wanted to eat them cold."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and walked out to the yard. He began to fetch water to water the various vegetables. The whole yard was filled with pots of vegetables growing.
After watering it, Ye Zhiqiu picked a tomato that was so ripe it cracked. You won't be able to eat this kind of thing in the future! For transportation and appearance, they are all picked before they are fully ripe. Most naturally ripe tomatoes will crack.
While eating, Liu Cuihua helped put grass in to feed the rabbits. She cut grass in the morning and put it in twice a day. In the evening, the Ye family would do the work for her, so that she could free up the afternoon to find some odd jobs.
Recently she has been pasting matchboxes. She doesn't make much money from this in a month, but it's better than having nothing to do.
After finishing these tasks, he looked at his watch and saw that it was already 5:30 in the evening, so he went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
