Chapter 129 He Became the Third Master
When Jia Dongxu nominated his father to be the manager.
Liu Haizhong refused without hesitation and couldn't explain the reason.
Wang Mengde watched their performance as if it were a child's play.
Everyone in the courtyard knew that his father was unwilling to be the manager, and the relationship between the old Jia family and his own family was also well known.
Jia Dongxu is so proactive now.
Even his two younger brothers wouldn't believe that there was nothing fishy going on.
"Lao Wang is indeed a very good candidate."
Yan Bugui spoke up.
His words made Liu Haizhong's heart tighten, and he turned around and glared at him fiercely.
This Yan Laosan is so confused!
Now that Wang Hao has become the boss, he no longer has the status of the boss, and he, Yan Bugui, will inevitably have to return to the position of the third in command.
The two things he cared about most were his eldest son and becoming an official.
The eldest son had already passed away, and he had asked someone about it, and it was now a foregone conclusion that he would not be coming back for at least five years. It took him several days to finally come to his senses.
Now the only thing left is to become an official.
He has no chance to become an official in the factory for the time being, and can only rely on his status as an uncle to entertain himself in the yard.
If he lost his position as the first uncle and became the second uncle again, it would be a heavy blow to him.
"But Lao Wang moved out two years ago. Although he is often in the courtyard now, he is no longer considered a member of our courtyard. What a pity!"
Yan Bugui pushed up the frame of his glasses and continued.
Yup!
Liu Haizhong's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Yes, yes, Second Uncle is right. Old Wang is no longer a member of our hospital. What a pity."
After saying this, he thought to himself that scholars are more intelligent.
It seems that I have to be more careful about Old Yan in the future.
Seeing that his proposal was rejected, Jia Dongxu was not surprised, nor did he argue with others as he did before. He sat next to Qin Huairu and looked in the direction of Yi Zhonghai.
Only when he saw the master's eyes smile and nodded gently did he feel relieved.
My mission is half completed.
"Is there anyone else in the Intermediate Court who would like to recommend himself?"
After looking around, Liu Haizhong said with a smile.
He deliberately glanced at Yi Zhonghai. After what happened just now, he realized that even if Yi Zhonghai came back to be the third boss, he would not be able to change Wang Hao's mind.
At this time, all the neighbors looked at each other and no one spoke.
The situation in the Intermediate Court is a bit complicated. He Daqing ran away with the widow, Yi Zhonghai made a mistake and was removed from his position as the manager, and the old Jia family is even worse off. Jia Zhang has even been sent to labor camp.
In fact, Wang Hao was the most suitable candidate, but he moved out of the yard.
Among the remaining households, the heads are all people who just listen to the drinks and are completely incapable of supporting the role of the boss.
Seeing that the situation was gradually becoming awkward, Yi Zhonghai smiled and was about to wink at his apprentice Jia Dongxu.
At this time, Sha Zhu, who was sitting next to Wang Mengde, suddenly stood up and said, "Uncle Wang is not considered a member of our courtyard, but Mengde is.
Meng De is from the Central Court. He has excellent medical skills and is a good person. Although he is younger, he has become a leader in the unit. I think it is okay for him to be the head of the department."
what?
Let Wang Mengde be the manager of the courtyard?
Dozens of neighbors, including Wang Mengde, were stunned.
But when you think about it, what Sha Zhu said makes sense. Wang Mengde usually has no conflicts with everyone in the yard except the Jia family.
In addition, he was recognized as an advanced person in Beijing for several years, and was also recognized as an advanced person and model in the whole country, and was featured in newspapers many times.
He even became the deputy director in the unit, which is a height that no one in the hospital can reach.
If he becomes the head of the courtyard, it will be a great honor for everyone to talk about him in the future.
Thinking of this, everyone seemed to be thinking about it, and a look of approval appeared on their faces.
"Silly Zhu, you are talking nonsense. How can Meng De be the manager when he is so young?"
On the opposite side, Yi Zhonghai's face turned very bad. He was the first to react and spoke loudly.
He was upset. He had planned everything, but he had never expected that Sha Zhu, this idiot, would become the one to cause trouble.
"Yes, Shazhu, why should Wang Mengde be the manager? I don't agree." Jia Zhang also jumped out to object.
Her face flushed red, and every time she heard the three words "Wang Mengde", she felt hatred in her heart.
Thanks to Wang Mengde, she had to do three months of forced labor. Every midnight when she thought about the unbearable experience of those three months, she couldn't sleep and cursed secretly in her heart.
Wang Mengde had achieved such great success in the past six months. He was in the newspapers every once in a while, and leaders came to his home to express their condolences. She resented the unfairness of God, but there was nothing she could do.
Now that Sha Zhu actually proposed that he be the manager, she couldn't help but stand up and object.
"Aunt Zhang, didn't I just say that Wang Mengde is very capable, so why can't he be the manager? If he can't be the manager, should you be the manager?"
Sha Zhu said casually.
If he hadn't seen Qin Huairu standing next to Jia Zhang, looking at him pretentiously.
He was about to reveal Jia Zhang's past of having been sent to a labor camp.
"That's right, sister-in-law. Sha Zhu is right. I think it's okay for Meng De to be the manager."
Liu Haizhong also responded.
He had originally planned to propose that Yi Zhonghai come back to power, but he didn't expect Sha Zhu to mention Wang Mengde, which instantly changed his mind.
It would be good for Wang Mengde to be the manager.
At such a young age, it is impossible for you to be a great uncle. At most, you can be the third uncle.
Moreover, in the next ten years, his position would not be threatened due to his age. As for what would happen ten years later, he did not think so far ahead.
"Yes, I also think Meng De is suitable." Yan Bugui also nodded with a smile.
He also thought about Wang Mengde's age issue. At the same time, if he agreed now, it could be considered as a small favor, which would be helpful when he asked for help in the future.
"Okay, we agree."
"Yes, Meng De is indeed a good choice."
"Why didn't I think of that? It turned out that it was the fool who thought of it. It seems that even a fool may make a good decision."
All the neighbors agreed.
In the crowd, Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu all looked unhappy.
Now that most of the neighbors agree, there is no point in them objecting. Besides, they don't have a solid excuse.
"Ahem, thank you for your recognition, but I'm still young and busy at work, so I don't have much time to solve your problems. So, I can't be the manager."
Wang Mengde began to decline.
He doesn't want to be the manager of the hospital. Not only does it have no benefits, but it can also easily get him into trouble.
He doesn't have time to deal with the trivial matters in the courtyard. If he has the time, he might as well read more books and study more.
"Meng De, don't be so modest. Everyone knows your abilities. Besides, you are usually busy, but there are still me and the old man. If there is anything in the courtyard, we can share more of the burden."
Yan Bugui persuaded cheerfully.
It's not good to have no time. If Wang Mengde really becomes the manager in name only, then he and Liu Haizhong will feel more at ease.
From now on, they two will still have the final say in the courtyard.
Liu Haizhong also realized this, and he said happily: "Meng De, this matter is settled. As a D member, you can't back down from serving the people.
From now on, the second uncle and I will take on more responsibilities in the hospital, and as the third uncle, you can just focus on your work at the unit and give us some advice and suggestions from time to time."
Considering that Wang Mengde is already the deputy director of the unit, he probably wouldn't look down on the position of an uncle, let alone compete with them for power.
Seeing that Wang Mengde was about to speak, Liu Haizhong did not give him a chance to explain, and said quickly: "Okay, okay, this matter is settled, let's move on to the next thing."
After a pause, he continued:
"The second thing is about the elimination of the four pests. As everyone knows, in 56, the country made a decision to basically eliminate sparrows, rats, flies and mosquitoes in all possible places within five, seven or twelve years.
In order to complete the task assigned by the country, the capital city recently established a command headquarters to encircle and suppress the sparrows, with Deputy Mayor Wang of the capital city as the commander-in-chief.
After research, the headquarters decided that on April 4, more than three million people in the capital, under unified command, would set up a dragnet to "encircle and suppress" the pests - sparrows. "
In 1955, some farmers reported to Mr. M that sparrows were harming their crops.
As a result, the sparrows fell into the tragic situation of being "enemies of the people" and were surrounded and hunted everywhere.
It was even listed as one of the four pests.
"Sister Cao from the neighborhood committee has already held a meeting with us about this matter. On the 19th, our hospital must follow the instructions of the street and neighborhood committee. All men, women, and children in the hospital, except for infants and people with special circumstances, must attend."
Yan Bugui also added.
"Uncle, Uncle, the 19th is Saturday and we still have to go to work. We can only participate in the mission of encircling and exterminating sparrows after we get off work."
Xu Damao said with a smile behind the crowd.
He and the old Xu couple watched coldly for a long time.
"Well, Damao, the headquarters has also taken what you said into consideration. At that time, all units and schools in the city will be notified to stop work and school for one day. Except for the staff on duty, everyone will participate."
Liu Haizhong explained.
"Uncle, then I understand." Xu Damao nodded.
"Does anyone have any other questions?"
After looking around and seeing that no one was talking, he began to make arrangements: "Well, since everyone has no problems, let's take advantage of the few days left and each household should go back and make preparations.
If you have colorful flags at home, tie them to sticks. If you have dummies or scarecrows, make a few as well. If you have firecrackers, take them out and use them. If you have iron basins or buckets, take them too.
When that day comes, the street and neighborhood committee will designate a spot for our hospital. We must work hard at that time and not be outdone by other hospitals."
After the instructions were given, the meeting of the whole institute ended.
Before leaving, Sha Zhu came up to him, made faces at him, and called him "Uncle".
After the neighbors had dispersed, Wang Mengde approached Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, Uncle, I was really forced into a fight by you today.
From now on, please take care of the hospital's affairs. You know my situation well. There are too many things to do in the unit, plus I need to study regularly, so I really don't have much time."
"Haha, Meng De, don't worry. There are only me and Lao Yan in the hospital. You can study and handle the work of the unit with peace of mind."
Liu Haizhong said happily.
For the first time today, he felt that what Sha Zhu said was right.
Back home, Wang Hao and Ran Xiaomei did not attend the whole hospital meeting today. When they heard He Shengnan talk about what happened just now, Wang Hao couldn't help but complain:
"Old Yi, Old Liu, and Old Yan, the three of them, stare at the yard every day, their eye sockets are too shallow."
"Old Wang, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui are clearly using Meng De as a pawn. Should we go find Sister Cao and ask her to intervene so that Meng De doesn't become a laboring uncle?"
Ran Xiaomei said with some concern.
"No, it would be a joke to bother Sister Cao with such a small matter.
Meng De had just said in advance that he did not intend to get involved in the affairs of the hospital, and Lao Liu and Lao Yan also hoped to see this situation.
Therefore, it will be fine if Mr. Meng De expresses his opinions in the future. They both look forward to it. "
Wang Hao dissuaded.
"Yes, Mom and Dad, I'm too lazy to get involved in the trivial matters in the hospital. I will try my best to be an invisible person in the future."
Wang Mengde said.
Easy home.
Yi Zhonghai sat in the chair with a calm expression.
Below him, Jia Dongxu carefully poured a cup of hot water for him and the deaf old lady and handed it to him.
"Zhong Hai, this is a good thing. You don't have to worry about the things in the hospital anymore. You can relax." said the deaf old lady.
She is a smart person. Just now, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu wanted to perform a duet, but unfortunately they were ruined by Sha Zhu.
Now she is worried about both of them, one is her 'son' and the other is her eldest grandson, and she is really afraid of a conflict between the two.
Then she will be in a dilemma.
"Old lady, I just want to do something for everyone. Since no one needs it, I'll just be happy to have some free time." Yi Zhonghai said with a smile on his face, holding a teacup.
Although he was unhappy with Sha Zhu, he didn't dare show it in front of the deaf old lady.
Knowing that he still had some doubts in his heart, the deaf old lady sighed inwardly and glanced at Jia Dongxu beside her. She didn't say anything else.
In fact, she had planned to persuade Yi Zhonghai again and tell him that the only person who could take care of him in his old age in this courtyard was Sha Zhu.
Even though Jia Dongxu behaves so respectfully now, he is definitely unreliable if anything unexpected happens.
pity!
night.
In bed, He Shengnan closed her eyes tightly, enjoying the feeling after the storm.
After a long while, she came to her senses, opened her blurry eyes, looked at Wang Mengde charmingly, and whispered: "Mengde, I felt like I was almost dying just now."
"Hehe, who told you to suddenly call me 'Uncle' in the middle of the conversation?" Wang Mengde laughed.
