Chapter 21 Donate food?
"Thank you." Xu Damao stood up and bowed. He really didn't expect that Wang Xiaohu would stand on his side. Suddenly, he felt that this guy was not so annoying.
At least one thing is that he is less annoying than Shazhu.
Wang Xiaohu felt the same way. He felt that Xu Damao was at least a real villain and easier to get along with than these hypocritical people. They would cooperate as long as the benefits were sufficient.
"Everyone, the uncles want to fight to save money, but I think saving money alone is not enough. We adults can endure it, but do we want the children to starve with us?"
Xu Damao's eloquence was indeed amazing, and he was able to arouse people's concerns in an instant. It was a pity that he was not an art student.
Sure enough, the next sentence gave the secret away.
"So, I think everyone should give me the money. I have channels to help everyone buy food. Although it is a bit expensive, it is better than nothing." Xu Damao smiled and secretly admired his own wit.
"Wang family, do you want to buy food?"
"What's the price?" Wang Dalu really wanted to buy it.
"White flour is 3 yuan, corn flour is 1 yuan..."
"No, we have enough food at home." Wang Xiaohu hurriedly pulled Wang Dalu. This was no longer like being slaughtered like a pig, this was eating chicken without spitting out the bones.
Xu Damao is quite cruel, and others are also talking about it.
"Xu Damao, don't talk nonsense. How can food be so expensive? It's several times more expensive than meat. You even make this much money. You have a conscience." Sha Zhu was the first to jump out. He was also a person who had no shortage of food, so he didn't know the usual food prices and thought they were the same prices as before.
Xu Damao was calm and composed, as if he had food. "You can take it or not. I won't buy it for you. I'll just tell you the place so you don't accuse me of profiteering. Okay, I've finished my speech. If anyone has something better, please bring it up."
"This Xu Damao can't be related to the corruption case two days ago."
"I think so, otherwise where would he get the food to sell?"
"Why don't you report it? Maybe you'll get a food reward."
……
Xu Damao was originally quite proud, but upon hearing the discussion, he stood up in shock and shouted, "I only know about the Pigeon Market, I'm not sure if it exists yet. Since no one believes it, just treat it as a joke and don't look for me."
"I take back my previous thoughts. There are still a lot of beasts in this yard." Wang Xiaohu was convinced. This group of people really knew how to cross the river and then destroy the bridge. They didn't know how to live or die.
In that case, just shut up.
Now even the three uncles don’t dare to say anything. Who can bear to be reported at every turn?
"Second Uncle, tell me, do you have any good ideas?" Yi Zhonghai didn't want to be the first to speak out, so he said to Liu Haizhong.
"This... uh huh..." Liu Haizhong stood up, puffed out his belly, and touched it. This was a blessing. "Our courtyard has been advanced to the quadrangle courtyard for many years. Under the leadership of our three uncles, especially my leadership of Liu Haizhong..."
"So, everyone understands, right?" Ten minutes later, Liu Haizhong sat down very comfortably, his desire to be an official was satisfied.
But everyone was embarrassed, as if nothing was said.
"This fat guy really knows how to talk nonsense." Wang Xiaohu was too tired to complain and just wanted to end the meeting quickly.
"Uncle, what do you think?" Yi Zhonghai aimed at Yan Bugui again. He had his own purpose, but the prerequisite was that everyone had to finish speaking so that he could launch a surprise attack.
"I think we need to think about this matter in the long term. We are not at the point where we cannot survive yet. I think everyone should still have some food at home." Seeing everyone nod, Yan Bugui continued, "In that case, there is no need to rush. We will hold a meeting later to discuss this."
"Yes, yes, let's hold a meeting to discuss this. I agree with this." When Liu Haizhong heard that he could still use his official power to show off his authority, he immediately stood up and agreed. This was great.
"Yes, yes. There is still food at home. Let's make a long-term plan."
"That's right, this matter cannot be taken lightly."
"We need to discuss it. We just received our ration of food. It's fine."
Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up. This is exactly what I wanted you to say.
So he coughed and waved his hand, and everyone suddenly became quiet.
"Since no one is willing, and everyone has some surplus food, I think the families with surplus food should help the families without food. Who in our courtyard is out of food now? You can raise your hands now. I think everyone will definitely not refuse to help. After all, everyone is kind and caring, and has a heart that enjoys helping others."
Wang Xiaohu thought he was going to announce the end of the meeting, but he didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to start with a big move. If he didn't help, he would be unkind and unloving, and he would be cold-blooded, right?
The others took a step back, and the two old men looked at each other with surprise in their eyes. It was obvious that they had not discussed this matter before.
"I...my family has run out of food." Qin Huairu raised her hand, Jia Zhang also raised her hand, Banggeng and Xiaodang looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and then raised their hands as well.
Qin Huairu told them during dinner just now that if they raised their hands, they would have meat to eat, but if they didn’t raise their hands, they wouldn’t even have white flour buns.
"The Jia family is short of food?" Wang Xiaohu still felt that he was worried about Yi Zhonghai and his gang. The retirement group used all means to suck the blood of everyone in the hospital.
"Why is the Jia family short of food?"
"I just saw Sha Zhu gave two big lunch boxes."
"Yes, the fragrance spreads ten miles away."
……
"Wow, Dongxu is gone, my household registration is being moved, and we haven't got our food rations yet. My three children... uh... two of them are growing up, and I'm pregnant. There's really not enough food at home. I beg everyone to be kind enough to help my family..."
"Dongxu, how are we going to survive if you leave? Once you're gone, we'll have no one to rely on and we'll starve to death. No one in the courtyard will lend a helping hand. It seems we can only go out to beg on the streets..." Jia Zhang also began to cry. Miraculously, this time she didn't curse or make a fuss, and she was very methodical. It was obvious that someone had taught her.
Banggeng and Xiaodang also hugged each other, and it was unclear whether they were crying or laughing. Anyway, Wang Xiaohu heard a giggling sound.
Yi Zhonghai saw that the situation was almost serious and that crying and making a fuss would only backfire, so he took the lead in speaking out: "We can't just stand by and watch people starve to death. So I will donate 10 kilograms of corn flour and half a kilogram of white flour."
Oh my! Everyone was shocked. This was a huge amount of food. Each person was only given less than 30 kilograms of food. Yi Zhonghai took out one third of it in one go. It was really cruel.
"Second uncle, third uncle, can you two set an example?" Yi Zhonghai said to the uncles on both sides.
"Well... I'll donate... ten... fifteen kilograms." Liu Haizhong said with a painful feeling. He originally wanted to say 10 kilograms, which could not be less than Yi Zhonghai, but after thinking about it, he decided to say five kilograms. If he donated more, he would lose weight. He subconsciously touched his stomach.
"Okay, Second Uncle gave me fifteen kilograms of grain. You are indeed the best man in our courtyard. You are very generous. Is it white flour or corn flour?" Yi Zhonghai asked deliberately.
He knew that Liu Haizhong only wanted to donate five kilograms, but you didn't speak clearly, so he put Liu Haizhong in a difficult position.
