Yi Zhonghai saw that He Shaoqing was at the side and went forward to invite him to take a seat. He Shaoqing refused to take a seat no matter what. He was not related to the Jia family, so how could he take a seat?
Wang Hongying saw that He Shaoqing refused to come over, so she wanted to sit with him. However, her gaze fell on her.
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai thought to himself," This won't do. I called you here to let my disciple hold his head high. If you don't even show your face, what will happen?"”
"Director Wang, why don't you sit at a table too? I still need you to be the emcee."
He Shaoqing added,
"Hongying, the Jia family invited you to be their emcee. Then you can go to the main seat and sit down.”
Wang Hongying saw that her superior had spoken, so she could only take Yi Zhonghai back to her seat.
Young Master He was talking to someone at a table when he suddenly heard Yan Bugui's voice coming from outside the door.
"Old Yi, quickly get someone to set off firecrackers. Dongxu is going to fetch the bride.”
When Yi Zhonghai heard that his disciple was going home, he quickly asked Xu Damao to set off firecrackers outside.
The other neighbors also stood up and walked out of the door. He Shaoqing did not want to get involved. He sat on the bench and ate melon seeds while walking out of the door with the other neighbors.
"The bride is here!"
After the fireworks, someone shouted loudly. He Shaoqing saw a group of neighbors surrounding Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu as they marched towards the middle of the city.
"What a beautiful bride!"
"Yeah, Dongxu's wife is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life."
Qin Huairu was dressed in a red shirt, black trousers, and her hair was tied into two ponytails. Chu Li glanced at her and said calmly,"What's wrong?
He Shaoqing listened to the discussions of the neighbors in the courtyard house and looked at Qin Huairu's clothes. He was secretly impressed. Among the beauties he had seen over the years, Qin Huairu was definitely one of the best.
The country had not been peaceful these few years.| She was tender and had such a curvy figure. Jia Dongxu was really lucky to have such a wife.
When Wang Hongying saw that the couple had arrived, she followed the tradition of Beijing and shouted loudly,""Get married!"
Jia Dongxu brought Qin Huairu to his master and mother's side and bowed to Director Wang.
The center of the courtyard was surrounded by people. He Shaoqing could not even stand up. He sat on the chair and watched the scene.
After the ceremony was over, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu entered the Jia residence together. The crowd then left. At this moment, Yi Zhonghai said,""Serve the dishes!"
The neighbors who had already prepared the dishes walked back and forth among the crowd with chopping boards in their hands, placing colorful dishes on the dining table.
This time, Yi Zhonghai's cooking skills were very good. His nephew's cooking skills were also very good. Even the simplest vegetables could be made into decent vegetables, which made him very satisfied.
He Yuzhu made three meat dishes from the pig that he had slaughtered in the morning. He definitely couldn't eat them.
The neighbors had been drooling over this delicious dish for a long time. When the dish was placed on the table, they had already begun to eat their own red braised pork quickly.
There were only the two of them at He Shaoqing's table. They were not from here. Seeing them eat their food quickly, Yu was very dissatisfied and urged her uncle to add another serving.
"Little girl, you're a good-for-nothing. Hurry up and eat. Don't forget to leave some for you.”
As He Shaoqing ate, he watched Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu, and Qin Huairu go drinking table by table.
When they arrived at He Shaoqing's table, Yi Zhonghai first introduced He Shaoqing to Qin Huairu. He Shaoqing had the highest status among the people who came this time. Even Chief Wang had to call her brother respectfully when he saw her.
"Huairu, this is Uncle He, who is opposite you. I believe you have seen him before."
Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu nodded at Yi Zhonghai and clinked a glass of wine with He Shaoqing.
"Hello, Uncle He."
He Shaoqing naturally wouldn't refuse. He picked up a cup on the table and drank it with him.
" Congratulations " was also a look of relief.
At two o'clock in the evening, the wedding finally came to an end. The neighbors of the courtyard house were helping to clean up.
Then, Wang Hongying stood up.
"Everyone, get ready. Meet me at the Intermediate Court. I have something important to tell you."
Although Yi Zhonghai and the others were curious about what Chief Wang wanted to talk to them about, they did not ask much and continued to do their own things.
After she cleaned up the courtyard, the people in the courtyard house gathered in the middle and stared at Wang Hongying.
Liu Haizhong quickly asked his two sons to bring a table and chair over and politely invited Director Wang to take a seat.
Wang Hongying didn't mind. She sat down in front of the desk and cleared her throat to make everyone shut up.
"According to the instructions of the higher-ups, we have to recommend someone to take care of this courtyard. The main task is to mediate the conflicts between the neighbors and maintain the order of the courtyard.”
We've already thought about it. An old man who wants to be a butler will step forward and introduce himself. If he wants to vote, then he can vote himself."
As soon as Chief Wang finished speaking, everyone became excited, especially Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui. In Yi Zhonghai's eyes, they were nothing.
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai walked over and said,"
"Dean Wang, there are quite a number of people in this area. Do you think there's a person in charge?”
When the few neighbors heard Yi Zhonghai's words, they also joined in and jeered,"
"Yes, we have more than 20 people here, a total of more than 100 people. There are three courtyards.”
Hearing that, Dean Wang also thought so. He lowered his head and discussed with the people beside him. Then, he looked up at Yi Zhonghai.
"Everyone, please calm down. I have already discussed with my staff. This courtyard is the largest courtyard in the entire office. We haven't thought about it yet. In that case, we will select three elders from the courtyard to manage one courtyard each. Those who want to be butlers, please come forward and introduce yourself."
As Wang Hongying finished speaking, Liu Haizhong couldn't help but take a step forward.
"It's a good idea to be a butler. If the higher-ups want us to manage it ourselves, then I won't be polite. I'm a top student in the steel factory and used to be an ordinary worker. If I become a butler, I'll definitely help you.”
As soon as Liu Haizhong said this, everyone started discussing. Some agreed, some disagreed. When Liu Haizhong heard these people's opinions, his face turned green.
When Associate Hospital Director Wang saw the chaos below the stage after Liu Haizhong said that, he quickly shouted,
"Quiet, next please."
He Shaoqing originally thought that it was Yi Zhonghai's turn this time, but who knew that Jia Zhangshi actually jumped up.
As soon as Jia Zhang-shi stood up, the scene was instantly in an uproar. This scene was even more confusing than what Liu Haizhong had just said.
"Jia Zhang-shi, you're a woman, why are you meddling in other people's business!”
"Yeah, how can a woman be a butler?”
These words coming from Jia Zhangshi's mouth, she was not willing.
"So what? The higher-ups said that women can hold up the world. My Jia Zhang family has no other ability other than being a butler."
Jia Zhangshi then introduced herself. Yan Bugui was the second to go on stage, and the last to go on stage was Yi Zhonghai.
What He Shaoqing did not expect was that Xu Fugui actually appeared. In his opinion, Xu Fugui did not care about these neighbors at all, so he would not appear here to choose a butler.
At this moment, an older man sitting next to He Shaoqing said to He Shaoqing.
"Shaoqing, why don't you pick another one?”
When He Shaoqing heard this, he was stunned. He had to make his own choice. He wasn't from here. Besides, he was leaving soon.
"No need, Brother Lin. Do you want to pick one yourself?”
"What is it? Do I have the ability?"
As soon as He Shaoqing said this, the person who was talking to He Shaoqing just now quickly shook his head.
Seeing that no one spoke again, Chief Wang took out a stack of documents from his folder, tore them apart, and distributed them to everyone in the courtyard.
The neighbors who received the paper began to whisper among themselves, discussing which one to choose. He Shaoqing also received a piece of paper, but he did not write it down. He threw it directly on the floor. Who was in charge of this courtyard had nothing to do with him.
He handed everyone's papers to Chief Wang. Then, he asked Yi Zhonghai to take a black wood to make a blackboard and a lime pillar to make a white wax.
Wang Hongying wrote down all the names on the list and asked the young man next to her to read them out. The young men who followed Wang Hongying read them out, and Wang Hongying filled in all the names on the list.
As expected, Yi Zhonghai had the highest number of votes. Because Yi Zhonghai was good at talking, no matter what Yi Zhonghai was thinking, as long as his neighbors came to him, he would lend a helping hand.
Liu Hai Zhong only had seven votes. These five votes should belong to He Shaoqing's family.
Yan Bugui was even more pitiful. His four votes were not even as good as Liu Haizhong's. At least there were two outsiders in Liu Haizhong. Yan Bugui's four votes were probably all from the Yan family.
As for Jia Zhangshi and Xu Fugui, they were even more miserable. Jia Zhangshi had three votes and Xu Fugui had two votes.
He Shaoqing was not surprised by this result because only Yi Zhonghai was among the bangs behind him. The rest were from his own family.
"Alright, now I'll announce the names of the old stewards of your academy. The first is Yi Zhonghai, the second is Liu Haizhong, the second is Second Uncle, the third is Yan Bugui, and the fourth is Third Uncle. Everyone, please return to your rooms. If you have any questions, please ask the three elders for help."
Although Liu Haizhong was not a young master, he was still a young master. He walked proudly towards his house.
Jia Zhang-shi was still shouting and yelling, saying that these neighbors did not know how to appreciate kindness. Why did they not vote for her and instead voted for the three old men? It really made people angry.
Jia Dongxu was already embarrassed because his mother had been chosen. Now that he saw her cursing in his courtyard, he was even more embarrassed. He grabbed Jia Zhangshi's hand and turned to walk home.
As for who was in charge, He Shaoqing was not interested. Even if you were in charge, it did not mean that you could do whatever you wanted here.
He looked at his watch. It was only three o'clock. He Shaoqing saw that he had nothing to do anyway, so he wanted to go out with Yuzhu to relax. Who knew that Yuzhu would not agree. She said that the sun was bright and it was better to rest at home.
