Chapter 185 Hope
"Sister, sister, open the door quickly."

There were shouting sounds coming from the compound again. I wonder who is causing trouble again.

"What's going on today? Why are so many people coming to see me?" Yang Zhenyu said speechlessly.

"Who knows? I'm also very curious. How long has this compound been peaceful? Why is it so lively again?" The aunt was also very curious and didn't know what was going on outside.

"It seems to be Qin Huairu's house across the street. I don't know what the situation is." Zhou Qianqian said with a frown.

"Could it be that relatives from the countryside came to visit? But they shouldn't come at this time." Yang Zhenyu said.

"Qin Huairu's hometown is not close to us. If she left in the morning, it would be normal for her to arrive at this time." said an aunt.

"These days, many people move to the city to live with their relatives. After all, no matter how difficult life is in the city, it is still much better than in the countryside, so moving to the city to live with relatives is also a solution." The aunt thought for a while and said.

It is indeed like this these days. Everyone's life is hard, but life in the city is relatively much better. If you can't make it in the countryside, moving to the city to live with relatives is also a way out, which is better than starving to death.

"Life has been much better in recent years, whether in the city or in the countryside. Although life is still hard, at least people have hope, and days with hope are good days," said Yang Zhenyu.

"That's true. In the past, let alone looking forward to a better life, we just hoped that there would be no war. Now that there is no war, we can look forward to a better life. Zhiyuan and his generation are enjoying a good life." The aunt touched Yang Zhiyuan's head lovingly.

"There will be many good days in the future, so there is no need to rush." ​​Zhou Qianqian said with a smile.

What people of this era considered a good day, decades later, would not be considered a good day at all. At best, it could be considered as just having enough food and clothing.

However, in this era, those are good days and people really have hope.

On this day, Yan Bugui informed everyone to hold a meeting of the whole institute, but he did not say what the specific matter was.

"Has Old Yan gone mad? Holding a meeting at this time? Is there something important?" said an old lady unhappily.

"Who knows? Yan Bugui is not usually so active." Zhou Qianqian said.

"Who said it wasn't? They suddenly became so active today. It's really hard to understand." said an old lady.

"I don't know what old Yan is planning to do next." Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said.

"I don't know. There hasn't been any strange news recently. Who knows what this guy is thinking." Yang Zhenyu also shook his head.

"Let's eat first, and then we'll go out and take a look. This guy can't just call everyone to a meeting for no reason." Yi Zhonghai said.

"Yes, yes, let's eat first, then we'll go take a look." said an aunt.

Because it was summer, it got dark late. After dinner, it was dark and everyone gathered in the central courtyard.

"Tell me, what's the matter that you are called here today?" Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Bugui and said.

"That's right, why don't we gather everyone together at this time? If there's anything going on, just tell us quickly. Everyone is waiting to go home and sleep." He Yuzhu followed suit.

"Okay, then I'll tell you." Yan Bugui pushed his glasses and said.

"I asked you all to come here today mainly because of Lao Xu's matter..."

"Wait a minute, what's the matter with Lao Xu? What does it have to do with our compound? They are not residents of our compound. Lao Xu's matter has nothing to do with us, right?" He Yuzhu interrupted Yan Bugui. "That's right, Third Uncle, what you said is wrong. Lao Xu has nothing to do with our compound. How can you waste the resources of the compound to hold a meeting? Isn't this nonsense?"

"Yes, Third Uncle, when we hold a meeting of the whole courtyard, we must discuss the affairs of the courtyard. You brought up Lao Xu's matter, which makes it difficult for everyone to deal with it."

"Uncle, what you did was really unkind..."

There is not a single good word coming out of everyone's mouth.

Come to think of it, it was not easy to drive Xu Damao out, what do you want to do now?

"Everyone, be quiet. Be quiet." Yi Zhonghai said while knocking on the table.

"Uncle, logically speaking, the three of us should be united first, but we can't have the same attitude as you on this matter. We all know that the advancement of our compound is hard-won. If there is one more restless person here, there will definitely be more risks." Yi Zhonghai said.

"Okay, I'll explain this matter to everyone." Yan Bugui nodded.

"Everyone knows that Old Xu has been our neighbor for many years. He found me today and asked me to act as a middleman to mediate between everyone. The reason is because of Xu Damao. Xu Damao got divorced some time ago and now lives alone. Old Xu is worried about him living outside, so he asked me to talk to everyone and see if Xu Damao can be allowed to come back. After all, Xu Damao also grew up in this compound and everyone is familiar with him..." Yan Bugui explained the situation slowly.

"See? This third uncle must have received some small favors from the Xu family. Otherwise, he wouldn't have worked so hard." He Yuzhu said as he leaned sideways towards Yang Zhenyu.

"That's for sure. With Third Master's personality, it's impossible for him not to want benefits." Qin Huairu also said from the side.

"I guess the price paid by the Xu family is not small, otherwise he would not have worked so hard. Just wait and see, God knows what kind of trouble they can come up with." Yang Zhenyu nodded and said.

"No matter what they do, we are firmly against Xu Damao's coming back," said He Yuzhu.

"I'll follow you." Qin Huairu nodded.

"By the way, who was the girl who came to your house before?" He Yuzhu asked.

"That's my cousin. I asked her to come and help me look after the child. It's not a solution to just let others look after the child." Qin Huairu said.

"Hey, that girl is quite pretty." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Don't have any ideas about her, kid. I'll see if I can find a good family for her. At least she has to be a worker in our factory." Qin Huairu glared at He Yuzhu and said.

"What am I planning to do? My wife is fine." He Yuzhu said with a sneer.

"It's good that you know. Otherwise, be careful that Meifeng will scratch you." Qin Huairu said teasingly.

"That's not possible." He Yuzhu said stubbornly.

"Uncle, Xu Damao is not an employee of our factory and is not allowed to come to our compound. Besides, the street office will definitely not agree." He Yuzhu shouted.

“That’s right. The street doesn’t agree with that either.”

"Quiet, quiet!" Liu Haizhong said, knocking on the table.
