Chapter 261 Yan Bugui’s Bad Idea
After Banggeng injured his leg, he stayed quiet for several days, recuperating at home every day. He refused to go out even when others called him. There was no other way because Banggeng's leg was injured, and there was no way for him to go out for dinner, not to mention that Banggeng didn't get any wine.
Bang Geng was quiet now, but someone in the yard was not happy with the quietness.
Yan Bugui saw that the situation had started to get better in the past two years, but his own son and Liu Haizhong's son were not very good to their elders. In addition, Yan Bugui had not calculated the peanuts and melon seeds for the Chinese New Year for some time.
When life was not so good before, the three uncles were still there, and the people in the courtyard gave him face. It didn't matter who wrote the couplets, and they could save a little money by asking Yan Bugui. But it is no longer possible. Yan Bugui has no market. There are too many people selling couplets outside, and their words are better looking than his. So Yan Bugui thought of restoring the uncle system in the courtyard.
This kind of thing cannot be done by one person alone, so Yan Bugui found Liu Haizhong and planned to persuade Liu Haizhong first and then persuade Yi Zhonghai.
"Old Liu." That day Yan Bugui happily found Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong glanced at Yan Bugui with disdain. Looking at Yan Bugui's cheerful face, Liu Haizhong knew that he must have something to ask him. Yan Bugui would not normally look for him unless he had something to do.
"Old Yan, just tell me what's the matter." Liu Haizhong felt a little scared when he saw Yan Bugui's expression. Liu Haizhong thought that among these three uncles, Yan Bugui was the most cunning.
In fact, what Liu Haizhong didn't know was that the uncle with the most worries in the yard was not Yan Bugui but Yi Zhonghai. It's just that he didn't show it under normal circumstances, and he didn't calculate trivial things like Yan Bugui. These things were nothing to Yi Zhonghai. He earned more than a hundred yuan a month and didn't have much to spend.
"Old Liu, it's like this. You see, these people in this hospital don't take us three seriously anymore." Yan Bugui had a bitter face, which looked really funny with his broken eye.
Liu Haizhong also sighed after hearing what Yan Bugui said. When Liu Haizhong was an official before, he offended almost everyone in the hospital. Now he also missed his former glory.
"Old Yan, what do you want to say?" Liu Haizhong was a little impatient. Why was Yan Bugui always stabbing himself in the face?
"Don't be anxious, Old Liu. Look, my children don't come back for the New Year, and your two sons are not very nice to you." Yan Bugui began to explain the interests to Liu Haizhong.
Liu Haizhong was a little choked by the truth that Yan Bugui told him. He didn't say anything and just looked at Yan Bugui to see what he would say.
"Look, when we were the bosses of this courtyard, our children were so good to us." As soon as Yan Bugui said this, Liu Haizhong became excited. Does he want to be elected as the boss of the courtyard again?
"Old Yan, what you mean is..." Liu Haizhong was a little cautious, fearing that he had guessed Yan Bugui's meaning wrongly.
"That's right, it's time for us to restore the previous system of three uncles. You see, people in this yard are still calling us second uncle and third uncle." In Yan Bugui's mind, those people in this yard who are still willing to call them uncles still have respect for the three uncles.
"Yes, Old Yan, you are absolutely right." Liu Haizhong clapped his hands after hearing what Yan Bugui said. Why didn't he think of this? If he turned back into the second uncle in the courtyard, his two sons would have to be obedient.
"Old Yan, tell me, what should we do?" Liu Haizhong clasped his hands together and rubbed them together, becoming interested.
"This is also simple." Yan Bugui smiled. He had already had an idea. "Look, the system of the housekeeper in this hospital was not abolished by the street office. It was all caused by Xu Damao. Now that he has become a ticket inspector in the cinema, his words naturally don't count. We are still the housekeepers of this hospital."
After hearing the reasons given by Yan Bugui, the light in Liu Haizhong's eyes became brighter.
"That's right, now the three of us are retired, and we have plenty of time to manage the affairs of this compound." Liu Haizhong muttered to himself. Yan Bugui nodded with satisfaction at Liu Haizhong's expression. Liu Haizhong was convinced. The next step was Yi Zhonghai, the most important of the three. As long as the three of them worked together, this thing would be done.
Yan Bugui also knew that there were not many people in this compound who would give face to him and Liu Haizhong. Not to mention the children of the two families, not to mention the troublemakers Sha Zhu and Li Shengli in the compound.
"Then let's go find Lao Yi." Liu Haizhong couldn't wait any longer. He was eager to taste the power again.
"Let's go." Yan Bugui stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, while speaking in the tone of Peking Opera.
Liu Haizhong smiled and pointed at Yan Bugui. His smile was full of confidence. Liu Haizhong still believed that this matter was a sure thing.
The two of them went to Yi Zhonghai's room together and found Yi Zhonghai.
"What? You want to restore the system of managing the compound?" Yi Zhonghai looked at the two talented people in front of him with disbelief, and he was almost about to use his fingers to pick the earwax in his ears.
How did these two come up with this bad idea? What kind of society is this now? Everyone is busy making money. Who has time to care about these three idle old guys?
Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
"Old Yi, things in our compound are a bit out of control now." Liu Haizhong interrupted.
Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes. The most unruly people in this courtyard are your two children. Even Li Shengli, the troublemaker in the front yard, is now focused on making money and has no time to care about the affairs of the courtyard.
"I won't get involved in this matter. If you want to restore it, do it on your own." Yi Zhonghai didn't have much hope for the two's plan, but he didn't stop them. If the system of the manager was really restored, then he would still be the boss of the compound, and he wouldn't suffer any loss anyway.
"This old Yi." Liu Haizhong complained angrily after leaving Yi Zhonghai's house.
Yan Bugui was also a little disappointed. The most important step in this plan was to rely on Yi Zhonghai's prestige in the compound.
"Old Yan, you have the most clever ideas. What should we do now?" Liu Haizhong's poor brain could not think of any good ideas, so he had to turn his attention to Yan Bugui, who had the most clever ideas.
"Let's test it one by one first. As long as the majority of people agree, the other parties will have to agree even if they disagree." Yan Bugui is indeed an educated man. He came up with an idea in a blink of an eye.
However, Yan Bugui did not consider at all what image he and Liu Haizhong would have in the compound.
"Good idea, let's do it." Liu Haizhong didn't think there was anything wrong with this idea. "Old Yan, you go to the middle court to ask, and I'll go to the back court to ask. As long as the two of us can handle it, there won't be any problem with Old Yi in the middle court."
Yan Bugui nodded in agreement, and then the two of them went to find the neighbors in the yard to ask for their opinions.
