Soon, the news that Zhang Hexuan had received a certificate of honor and a 100-yuan bonus spread in the courtyard.
In this era, although there was no internet and communication technology was not developed at all, the speed of information transmission was amazing.
Especially in an old alley like this, no matter if it was good or bad, as long as it happened openly, it would definitely spread immediately and far away.
In the courtyard, Third Aunt and Second Aunt were washing vegetables by the sink.
"Have you heard? A few days ago, Zhang Hexuan had subdued a criminal. Today, the police station came over to give him a certificate of honor and rewarded him with ten great unity. They even said that they had taken a photo of him and wanted to publish it in the newspaper!”
"What? Ten great unity? A hundred?"
"This kid is really lucky! How could he encounter such a good thing and not us? If I were to meet him, wouldn't the certificate of honor and money be mine? Why didn't such a good thing happen to us? It's a hundred yuan!"
The neighbors gathered together and discussed Zhang Hexuan's award.
As they talked, the topic started to revolve around how Zhang Hexuan would spend the huge sum of 100 yuan, and the more they talked, the more it changed.
Second Uncle waved his fan and said,"In my opinion!" Zhang Hexuan should use this money to buy some meat and vegetables, bring two bottles of good wine, and call all the neighbors in the courtyard to arrange a table for a good meal to celebrate!”
"After all, this 100 yuan was earned by him for nothing. It's hard-earned money. Right?"
"Don't you think so?"
His two sons, Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian, were also squatting beside him. When they heard his words, they immediately nodded in agreement.
"I agree, Dad. Yes, you're right. We have to celebrate such a good thing!”
Third Uncle shook his head and said,"Old Liu, no, I don't think what you said will work." Little Zhang's money was 100 yuan. Although it was a lot, there were many people in the quad. How could it be enough to eat and drink together?”
"What I mean is that he should entertain the three of us alone, treat us to a meal, and buy us something to show our respect.”
"Look, Zhang Hexuan is going to be in the newspaper. He's going to be a famous person. The three of us are the most respected people in the courtyard. If he doesn't express his gratitude, what will happen?”
The First Uncle stood at the side and listened to their conversation. He did not say anything. Instead, he shook his head and went back to his room.
He was a level-eight fitter with a monthly pension of 97 yuan. He did not care about Zhang Hexuan's bonuses at all, and he did not want to take advantage of them.
"It's very lively outside!" His wife asked when she saw him return. I heard Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong talking and laughing. What's the matter? What are you talking about?"
" It's nothing." The first uncle turned around." It's just the two of them. They're discussing how to distribute Little Zhang's 100 yuan bonus."”
When an auntie heard this, she was stunned."Allocate Little Zhang's bonus? That was Zhang Hexuan's money. The country rewarded him. What were they going to distribute? What does it have to do with them?"
"I'm just envious!" An elder said with a smile. They were very envious and thought of ways to discuss the points.”
A middle-aged woman also laughed. Although Zhang Hexuan had not been in the quad for long, she could tell that Zhang Hexuan was different from his peers. That kid was not simple. He was very capable!
It was almost impossible for these people in the courtyard to take advantage of him.
A middle-aged woman looked outside and asked,""Hey, did you see that? Did Silly Zhu return? If he comes, ask him to help us fix the table leg and invite him to have a meal with us.”
"He didn't come back, did he?" First Uncle shook his head. I didn't see anything in front anyway."
"He didn't come back? Then go outside and wait for him!”An auntie said anxiously,"We're already so old, and we don't have any children. If we don't tie Silly Zhu up, who will take care of us in the future?" You old man! Pay attention."
"Quick, go quickly. I'll start cooking!”
First Uncle looked at his wife helplessly, sighed, and left without saying anything.
Yi Zhonghai was one of the few people in the quad who did not have any bad intentions. He usually took special care of Silly Zhu, but he also had a goal. He wanted Silly Zhu to be their godson and send them off in their old age.
At this moment, the people in the courtyard were chatting happily when Xu Damao suddenly walked in with an unlucky expression.
It turned out that he had received his salary today, and his hands were itchy after receiving the money. Therefore, he secretly played cards with a few old foxes in the factory. In the end, his hands were very bad, and he lost his salary in just a few moves.
He returned to the courtyard dejectedly and heard everyone talking excitedly about how to distribute Zhang Hexuan's 100 yuan bonus. He instantly became excited and began to ponder.
"If I could borrow some money from Zhang Hexuan, wouldn't it be great? I would be able to hide it from Lou Xiao'e tonight!”
Xu Damao noticed that Second and Third Uncle had not returned to the house at this time. They must be waiting for Zhang Hexuan to come back.
He had an idea and decided not to go back. He squatted down and waited.
About ten minutes later, Zhang Hexuan returned with a bottle of wine and chicken.
As soon as he entered the door, he noticed that many malicious gazes were cast at him.
"Is everyone busy today? It was already lunchtime, so why were they all waiting in the courtyard and not going back to their rooms?”Zhang Hexuan asked curiously.
Second Uncle and Third Uncle immediately rushed to his side and said with a smile,"Us! I'm guarding you!"
Second Uncle was all smiles." Little Zhang, we've all heard about it. You've made a contribution. The higher-ups have rewarded you with a certificate of honor and ten great unity. You still want to publish it in the newspaper!”
"You're amazing. You've given the dean face! Amazing!"
Third Uncle also quickly started to act like a cultured person."Heroes come from the young, and heroes come from troubled times. Little Zhang, the hero! Admirable, admirable! Congratulations!"
Everyone's sudden enthusiasm made Zhang Hexuan feel a little uncomfortable.
He said coldly," Be straightforward. I don't like to beat around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it."”
Second Uncle cleared his throat and began to say,"Little Zhang, then I'll be straightforward. It's like this. Before you came back, we gathered together to discuss it.”
"Your 100 yuan bonus is given to you by the higher-ups. Besides, you're not only a patrol officer in the community, but also a member of our quad. Get something practical!"
"What I mean is, you can take out half of this 100 yuan to buy meat and treat everyone to a good meal. We'll celebrate for you. As for the remaining half, give each of us three old masters ten yuan. We don't want more. Just ten yuan will do. Look, you won an award. No matter what, you have to show your filial piety to us three! Besides, it's a good thing. We'll help you promote it!”
"If you calculate it this way, there are still 20 yuan left. You can keep it for yourself!”
"Ha…"
When Zhang Hexuan heard this, he could not help but laugh out loud.
He knew that they were thick-skinned, but he never expected them to be this thick-skinned. He had really underestimated them.
He had just received a 100 yuan bonus, and he had yet to go home. Yet, this group of unrelated old men had already helped him plan how to spend every penny. It was really a waste of his brain and effort.
Zhang Hexuan only had 100 yuan, and they were already thinking about it so much. If they got 10,000 to 20,000 yuan back, wouldn't they be dismembered?
Zhang Hexuan finally understood why those who won five million yuan in the lottery would move overnight with their hoods on.
Seeing that Zhang Hexuan did not speak, Xu Damao, who had lost half of his salary, could not hold it in anymore.
"Zhang Hexuan, you're not saying anything. Does that mean you agree?" he asked anxiously. Is it a tacit agreement?"
"That's right. If you don't say anything, we'll take it that you agree! It's settled then!"
Second Uncle and Third Uncle quickly agreed, afraid that he would disagree.
Zhang Hexuan could not take it anymore.
He sneered and asked,"Did you take the wrong medicine?" Or did he forget to take his medicine? What does my money have to do with you! I'll spend it however I want!"
