When Ye Zhiqiu returned home, he found the gate to the courtyard closed. He wondered where Wang Fugui had taken Ye Bailu. He took out his key to open the door. It had been so long since he moved here, but this was the first time he had to use a key to open the gate!
Just after parking the bike, Wang Xiaolan came back with the notebook.
Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously, "Mom, why are you back at this time? Don't you have to go to work today?"
Wang Xiaolan coughed and cleared her throat, then said seriously, "During working hours, you should call me Secretary Wang. I'm here on Director Gao's orders to explain the new hygiene regulations to everyone. Stand still and listen to me!"
I'm alone here, how can there be any group of people? Ye Zhiqiu asked with a puzzled look, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Did you come back home to show off your power?"
"Hey, boss, don't say anything. I need to practice speaking first. Just be honest and cooperate with me. If everyone laughs like you, how can I carry out health promotion work?"
Ye Zhiqiu was speechless. It turned out that he was being used as a test subject for rehearsal!
He had no choice but to stand there obediently, listening to Wang Xiaolan's stumbling speech. First, spitting is prohibited. Anyone caught doing so will be fined 20 cents. Second, urinating and defecating is prohibited. Anyone caught doing so will be fined 50 cents, and so on and so forth...
Ye Zhiqiu wanted to laugh when he heard this. There were all kinds of rules, some of which really made him want to laugh!
For example, you're not allowed to poop in the street. Who else would dare to do that except for Indians? And you're not allowed to throw feces anywhere. What kind of situation would lead to that?
But facing Wang Xiaolan's fierce glare, he could only hold back his laughter and listen to the entire promotional content.
After finishing her speech, Wang Xiaolan said with a headache, "Boss, what should I do? I'm responsible for several alleys here, with so many households. If I go to each one and talk to them, it will take so much time!"
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't hold back his laughter any longer, and Wang Xiaolan was so angry that she slapped him on the back several times, cursing as she hit him: "You bastard, your mother is so unlucky and pitiful, and you are still laughing! You bastard really deserve a beating, you make me so angry..."
Ye Zhiqiu quickly raised her hands in surrender and said, "Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn't have laughed at you! I have a way to solve this problem. It will definitely save you a lot of trouble!"
Wang Xiaolan stopped what she was doing and asked doubtfully, "What can you do? Resist it quickly and I'll punish you severely, or I'll ask you to confess and I'll give you leniency!"
Ye Zhiqiu covered his face and said, "You're wrong, mother, you got it wrong! Confess and be lenient, resist and be strict..."
Wang Xiaolan was furious and raised her hand to continue looking at the man who was making fun of her son. Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly shouted, "Frankly, put your hand down quickly, and I will explain it to you right away!
You can notify each household to send a representative to hold a street-wide sanitation meeting. After that, you can organize everyone to study and have them tell their families in the evening.
If they also mention that they will be fined for mistakes, and that this is a matter concerning their own finances, they will definitely take it to heart and study hard!"
After hearing Li Feng's plan, Wang Xiaolan was immediately delighted and said, "My eldest son is so smart! This way, I don't have to go door to door to preach!"
Ye Zhiqiu curled his lips, thinking that when he couldn't use it, he was a bastard, but when he could use it, he was a big man. This old woman must have been from Sichuan in her previous life. She can change her face without any equipment!
Wang Xiaolan said happily, "Boss, I'll have to run for a long time by myself, and you don't have anything to do anyway. Why don't you just go and help me notify the people in the next lane, Lane 5, and have them send someone to Compound 23 for a meeting!"
Ye Zhiqiu was dumbfounded. He had clearly run back home from the factory just to be lazy, but he was still assigned work. He really wanted to refuse.
But seeing Wang Xiaolan's threatening look, he could only agree reluctantly.
At this time, Wang Fugui came back with a kite and a small bag, bringing Ye Bailu back with him. Seeing the two people in the yard, Ye Bailu rushed in.
She hugged Wang Xiaolan, turned her head and said to Ye Zhiqiu with a smile: "Hehe, big brother, grandpa took me to fly a kite, and it flew so high! Mom, grandpa and I also dug up some motherwort, and grandpa said he would make a cold dish for us tonight!"
Wang Fugui also said with a smile: "Why are you two home? If you have to go to work, just work hard. It's not nice to be lazy and run home all the time!"
Wang Xiaolan explained, "Godfather, I didn't go home to slack off. I had to go and notify everyone to hold a health meeting and explain the new health regulations to them!"
Ye Zhiqiu was also depressed and said, "I wanted to be lazy, but as soon as I got home, my mother called me up and asked me to notify the neighbors for a meeting."
"What do you mean by conscription? This is called serving the people. Stop talking nonsense and go notify them!"
Wang Fugui said happily, "Grandson, this is your mother's first meeting, and as her son, it's your duty to help out and notify everyone.
Okay, work is important, so hurry up and get back to work! Granddaughter, let's go wash the dandelions. We'll blanch them and soak them to remove the bitterness so they're delicious."
Ye Bailu let go of Wang Xiaolan and walked towards the kitchen with Wang Fugui as agreed.
Ye Zhiqiu shrugged and went out to the next alley, Lane 5, to call people. The Ye family's number 16 was in Lane 3. All the alleys here were odd-numbered. There were five alleys, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Wang Xiaolan was in charge of the publicity.
It seems that there are not many people in the five alleys, but in fact there are three large courtyards in these five alleys, with nearly two hundred households.
There was no precise number of people, but the fifth alley that Ye Zhiqiu went to notify had two large courtyards, and he had to talk until his saliva dried up before he finished notifying the entire alley.
The No. 23 compound was right on Lane 3, so after he finished his announcement, he went back home to drink some water. He was going to go watch Wang Xiaolan hold a meeting later, so if she couldn't handle it, he could still help.
"Hey, purchasing manager Xiaoye didn't go to work today?"
"Purchasing Ye, do you know where I can get some milk powder?"
"I want to get some defective cloth. Xiaoye, can you help me?"
Faced with a group of aunties asking questions at once, Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Everyone, I'm just a buyer. Our factory doesn't accept milk powder! Okay, everyone, don't be so enthusiastic. It's scary..."
Ye Zhiqiu was also confused. Did these neighbors really think he was a wishing machine? He even had milk powder defect cloth. If he could get these things, he would take as many as he could!
Not to mention hard currency like milk powder, you can still get defective cloth now. In two years, supplies will be in short supply and textile factories will run out of raw materials. By then, it will be difficult to get even a piece of cloth!
Three years of patching and mending is not just a catchy saying, but a realistic picture of the three most severe years during the difficult period!
As more and more people gathered, Wang Xiaolan finished notifying everyone and came over. It was obvious that she was also thirsty from talking, so she picked up the water bottle on her back, unscrewed it and drank the water, not even having time to answer other people's questions.
