NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 23
"Zhuzi is engaged?"
When the third uncle Yan Fugui heard what He Daqing said to his son, he couldn't help but exclaimed, and then said happily:"This is a big happy event, we must celebrate it well."
"By the way, where is Zhuzi's partner from? When will he be brought to the courtyard to see him?"
Yan Fugui said enthusiastically. If you didn't know, you would think that his boy was getting engaged and married.
""Okay, okay!"
He Daqing laughed. He knew exactly what Yan Fugui was thinking. He just wanted to have a good meal during this happy event.
This was human nature and it was nothing.
After all, life was not easy these days. If you wanted to have a good meal, except for families with good living conditions, ordinary people could only wait for weddings and funerals.
Of course, if this happened to other people, it would definitely be normal, but it was not normal for the third uncle Yan Fugui.
His family didn't eat well, not because they were poor, but because they were used to calculating.
In his previous life, He Daqing also watched netizens' comments on the Internet.《���In the discussion of the characters in the story of"Man Siheyuan", everyone agreed that the living conditions of the third uncle's family were not good, otherwise they would not have calculated so much.
However, when He Daqing really came to this world, he knew that the living conditions of the Yan family were not bad.
At least for now, the living conditions of the old Yan family are not bad. Their family background is definitely among the top few among the more than ten or twenty households in this Siheyuan.
The reason is very simple.
Because they are teachers.
Don't compare the salary standards of teachers in the 1960s and 1970s with those in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China and before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Especially in the Republic of China before the founding of the People's Republic of China, teachers were truly high-paying professions.
Even elementary school teachers can earn an average of 20 to 30 yuan a month, while a cook can only earn 8 to 12 yuan a month.
Specifically think about Lu Xun and others. In the Republic of China, they could buy real estate in the city of Sijiu with the salary of university teachers. You can know how high the teacher
's salary was at that time. I am afraid that in the late war, all walks of life suffered a huge blow, and the teacher's salary did not decrease at all. Even during the period of great depreciation of the legal currency before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the teacher's salary was directly replaced by food and cloth.
No matter how poor you are, you cannot be poor in education!
This sentence was definitely not just lip service during the Republic of China and the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but was really implemented in practice.
Now in 1952, Third Uncle Yan Fugui is nearly 40 years old and has been a teacher for more than ten years. Do you think the conditions of his family can be that bad?
It must be better than a group of factory workers in the slum, right?
So those who say that Third Uncle Yan Fugui's family is poor only saw that in the 1950s and 1960s, Third Uncle Yan Fugui was the only formal worker in his family who had to support a large family, but they did not take into account his salary income before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The most important thing is that even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the treatment of teachers was not too good. In addition to the basic salary, there were also various teacher allowances. Adding these together, they could almost catch up with the second uncle Liu Haizhong, a fifth-level worker.
Of course, this is now in 1952, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. He Daqing didn't know what would happen to the old Yan family in the future.
He Daqing thought so in his heart, but he just laughed it off and skipped the topic, inviting everyone to take a seat.
"Daqing, we are here today because of Jia Zhang's matter."
"We are all neighbors, and you know the situation of the Jia family. Although what Jia Zhang did this time was wrong, she was also confused for a moment and made a mistake under impulse."
"As the senior officials in the courtyard, we three are here to apologize to you on behalf of Jia Zhang. We hope that you can forgive her this time, considering that we are all neighbors in the same courtyard."
"The three of us promise you that such a thing will never happen again."
After everyone sat down, Yi Zhonghai had to take the initiative to speak after a brief silence and brought the topic to Jia Zhang's matter.
And he used his ultimate move right from the start, standing on the moral high ground, hoping that He Daqing could forgive Jia Zhang's mistake.
Yes.
Although she did something wrong, she was just confused for a moment and made a small mistake on impulse. We are all old neighbors, and the managers of our three courtyards have come to apologize for her. What else do you want?
Shouldn't you forgive her?
The underlying meaning is that if you don't forgive Jia Zhang, you don't take the three of us managers seriously. Let's not be neighbors in the future, and you, the He family, don't even think about staying in this courtyard. When
He Daqing heard this, he didn't answer directly, but looked at Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, and asked kindly:"What do Brother Liu and Brother Yan think?"
He didn't care about Yi Zhonghai alone.
But if Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Fugui joined forces, he would have to think carefully.
The reason is very simple.
Because the managers of the courtyards in this period were not like those in the 1960s and 1970s, who were only responsible for mediating neighborhood disputes.
The most important task of the managers of the courtyards in the 1950s was to investigate and guard against enemy spies.
If you really offend the managers of the courtyards, aren't you afraid that they will give you a hard time and directly implicate you with the enemy spies?
Don't say that this is impossible.
On the contrary, it's really not too easy to use this to deal with you. They just need to keep an eye on you every day, and then report that you have contact with strange and suspicious people.
If that doesn't work, just throw a handful of black stars into your room, or throw a reactionary book, letter, etc.
In this way, even if you can find out that you are innocent afterwards, I'm afraid you will have to stay in jail for a few days. Give it a hard time.
Even if you really offend all three managers, the three of them can join forces to take you down directly, saying that you have published and propagated reactionary remarks, and you can't wash it off even if you jump into the Yellow River, and you will be skinned alive.
Otherwise, why do you think the three managers in the Siheyuan TV series have such great prestige? If he really had no power, in what special era would Xu Damao rack his brains to seek the position of the boss in the courtyard?
As the saying goes: the magistrate who ruins the family, the prefect who exterminates the family, and the petty official who squeezes the bones and marrow. The managers are not in the establishment, have no official position, but sometimes they can act as petty officials.
Anyone who dares to look down on and offend them will probably die without knowing how.
Hearing He Daqing's question.
Liu Haizhong said in an official tone:"Daqing, Lao Yi, Lao Yan and I have discussed it, and the three of us unanimously agree that if this matter is not handled well, it may have a great impact on our courtyard."
"If we really act too ruthlessly, what will the neighborhood office think? What will the higher-ups think? What will the factory leaders think?"
"Will you think we are too cold and indifferent, and have no regard for our neighbors?"
"If this gets out, it will be bad for everyone in our hospital!"
"So I agree with the decision of the first uncle. I hope you can forgive Jia Zhang for once. We promise that Jia Zhang will never dare to take your things again in the future."
The second uncle Liu Haizhong spoke in an official tone and spoke endlessly. It was rare for him to say such a thing.
However, He Daqing was more inclined to believe that these words were Yi Zhonghai's words to persuade him. After all, everyone knew what kind of person Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, was. He was obsessed with officials!
The key was that he didn't have a brain and self-knowledge.
As long as Yi Zhonghai linked Jia Zhang's affairs to all the images of the courtyard and the views of the leaders above, and then talked about politics, policies above, and the ideas of the leaders, he would not worry that Liu Haizhong would not fall into the trap.
He Daqing heard Liu Haizhong's speech and was too lazy to continue asking Yan Fugui.
After all, both Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui had obvious and fatal weaknesses. It was really too simple for Yi Zhonghai to win over these two people.
He Daqing was too lazy to argue with the three people in front of him, and smiled directly:"Okay, no problem, the three brothers have spoken, how can I not give you face?"
"I also think that Jia's sister-in-law was confused for a moment, so let's just let it go today. After all, Jia's sister-in-law has not had an easy time these years, and I will definitely forgive her."
"Do you three have anything else to say?"
Since you all said so, how can I not forgive Jia Zhang?
I must forgive her!
Otherwise, it would seem that I, He Daqing, am so cold and indifferent.
The point is, it's useless for me to forgive her. You have to let the law forgive her!
If the law doesn't forgive her, why do you think she can get out?
And there will definitely not be a next time.
If you really want a next time, then wait a few years................................
