Chapter 260 Hospital General Meeting
Chapter 260 Hospital General Meeting
Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at him and said, "I didn't expect you to go anyway."
Li Aimin said helplessly: "It's just a meeting. Do you need your dad to go?"
"That's right, because the conferences that you can attend are all about national affairs."
"You little brat, are you itching for trouble?" After saying that, he was about to hit Li Jiayi on the back of the head.
At this moment, Ye Xin frowned and said "hmm".
Li Aimin immediately put his hand down, touched his nose awkwardly and said, "It was just a joke."
"Humph!"
The eldest sister Li Jiaqi and the second sister Li Jialin both covered their mouths and laughed, which made Li Aimin feel helpless.
"Let's eat!" Ye Xin said.
"Yes, yes, let's eat." This was the only way Li Aimin could use to ease the embarrassment.
The dinner was quite sumptuous. Although there were only two dishes, the portions were large.
After dinner, Li Jiayi went back upstairs and took down a small round coffee table from his room.
This is a very small coffee table, which is usually placed at the bedside to hold peanuts, melon seeds, fruits, etc.
Of course, you can also put a teacup when drinking tea.
With the small coffee table, of course a chair is also necessary! Look, he is carrying a small bamboo chair.
I used an enamel plate that was usually used to hold peanuts and sunflower seeds, put some peanuts and sunflower seeds on it and placed it on the small coffee table.
Holding the coffee table in one hand and a bamboo chair in the other, Li Jiayi came to the central courtyard.
He thought he had arrived early enough, but he didn't expect that someone had arrived earlier than him.
"Plus one, here." Liao Kai shouted.
"Uncle Liao, Auntie, you came early!" Li Jiayi walked over, put down the coffee table and said.
"Your aunt and I just got here too."
Li Jia put a chair on the ground, and the three of them formed a semicircle around the small coffee table.
"Come here, Auntie, eat some melon seeds."
"Ok!"
As for Liao Kai, he was not polite at all and started eating the peanuts and melon seeds.
"Little brother." Just at this moment, the eldest sister came over with a large enamel pot.
"Thank you, sis."
"What are you thanking me for? Eating so many peanuts and melon seeds can cause internal heat. Have some tea."
"understood."
At this time, Liao Kai said, "Jia Qi! Why don't you take a few more jars?"
"I'm sorry, Uncle Liao, I didn't know you didn't take the jar."
Xu Wenwen pushed Liao Kai and said, "You are such a jerk."
"Just kidding. Let me go back and get some enamel pots." After saying that, Liao Kai stood up.
Xu Wenwen pulled him and said, "I'll go!"
"also."
The eldest sister just came to help Li Jiayi serve tea. She didn't attend such a meeting, so she went back with Xu Wenwen.
After a while, Xu Wenwen came back with three small enamel jars in her hands.
As soon as the jar was put down, Liao Kai couldn't wait to fill the three small enamel jars.
The large enamel pot of Li Jia's family is particularly large, even bigger than an adult's head.
As for water, four or five liters would be no problem at all. Although the elder sister didn't fill it up, it was enough for them to drink during the meeting.
The three of them were eating peanuts and melon seeds and drinking tea, while the others were suffering. The aroma of both peanuts and melon seeds kept penetrating their noses.
Li Jiayi had no intention of letting anyone pass by, and just kept on eating melon seeds and peanuts.
And drinking a sip of spiritual tea from time to time, life is so comfortable.
After waiting for about ten minutes, people from the street office came over, and it wasn't just one person, but three people.
Director Xu, Secretary Niu, and another female comrade.
Li Jiayi had never seen this female comrade before. She should be a newly hired clerk or office worker.
Secretary Niu was holding a box with the word "Donation" written on it. Needless to say, today's meeting was related to donations.
After the three people came in, they were stunned when they saw Li Jiayi, especially Director Xu, who shook his head helplessly.
Director Xu walked to the octagonal table that had been prepared long ago and sat down. Secretary Niu and the female comrade also sat on both sides.
After everyone was seated, Director Xu nodded to Secretary Niu.
Secretary Niu quickly stood up and said, "There are two main things to do in today's meeting. As for what they are, I'll let Director Xu tell you."
The street office meetings are simple, unlike the previous meetings held by the old men, where each person spoke for half a day and kept repeating the same few repetitive sentences.
After Officer Niu sat down, Director Xu stood up and said, "The first thing to do at today's meeting is to donate money. This donation is entirely voluntary and not mandatory. As everyone knows, the drought is particularly severe across the country now. This donation is to bring warmth to the hardest-hit areas."
When they heard about the donation, the yard immediately began to buzz. Needless to say, everyone was discussing with each other.
Li Jiayi originally thought that the donation was to some needy families on the street, but unexpectedly it was not, but a donation to the hardest-hit areas.
There are too many severely affected areas across the country during this drought. Many places not only need relief funds, but also relief food, clothing and so on.
As a person from later generations, Li Jiayi may know the current situation in the country better than Director Xu.
"Okay, I won't say any more nonsense, let's start donating now! Secretary Niu will record your donation in detail." Li Jiayi did not move. He had to donate. It was his duty.
"Uncle Liao, please go and set an example." Li Jiayi touched Liao Kai and said.
"Yes!" Liao Kai nodded and asked, "Add one, how much do you think I should donate?"
"Uncle Liao, you and your aunt have enough food and clothing. If you have more money, please donate more. If you have less money, please donate less."
"Okay, I see."
After saying that, he turned around and said to Xu Wenwen: "I don't have much money on me, go back and get some money."
"it is good."
Xu Wenwen obeyed Liao Kai's orders! And unlike other people, she didn't value money too much.
"I'll donate twenty." Just as Xu Wenwen got up to go home to get the money, Peng Zhanquan stood up and said.
He took out twenty dollars and put it into the donation box. He is a person with a strong desire for power.
I guess he donated the twenty yuan in order to leave a good impression on Director Xu.
After all, he was the first person to come forward and donate twenty dollars at once.
In the past, these twenty yuan were really a lot and could buy a lot of food, but now, these twenty yuan are a bit too little.
Because food is expensive now! These twenty yuan can't buy much food at all. Even if you buy the cheapest grains, you can't buy 200 kilograms.
"Okay, remember that Peng Zhanquan donated 20 yuan." Director Xu said.
Secretary Niu quickly opened the notebook, wrote down Peng Zhanquan's name, and added the amount of the donation.
"I'll donate ten yuan." Ying Jiasheng stood up, took out ten yuan and put it into the donation box.
If it were in the past, if he donated this little money, people would definitely gossip behind his back, but not now.
Because Ying Jiasheng’s current salary is very low, just the salary of a regular worker, not even a first-level worker.
Once he donated this ten dollars, he surpassed Peng Zhanquan. You know, Peng Zhanquan's current salary is several times that of Ying Jiasheng!
"I'll donate ten dollars too." Shen Yongcai stood up and said.
At the same time, I also feel sad because this is ten dollars!
This is a person who values money more than anything else. Asking him to donate ten dollars is like digging out his flesh.
But Ying Jiasheng had already donated ten yuan. If he donated less, others would say something about it, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and donate ten yuan.
Just at this time, Xu Wenwen came back with the money and handed it directly to Liao Kai.
Looking at the money in his hand, Liao Kai looked at Xu Wenwen in surprise.
You know, this is a lot of money! He originally thought Xu Wenwen wouldn't take so much.
Liao Kai smiled at Xu Wenwen and asked, "How much is this?"
"two hundred."
"it is good."
Liao Kai stood up, walked to the eight-immortal table and said, "I'll donate 200."
"hiss!"
When they heard the number "two hundred", there were gasps everywhere in the yard.
But if you think about it, it will make sense. Liao Kai and his wife both have jobs and a fixed salary.
Although the ration has been reduced by 30%, the ration for two people is still high! Liao Kai weighs 42 kilograms and Xu Wenwen weighs 36 kilograms. After subtracting 30%, the ration for the two of them is still nearly 55 kilograms.
It can be said that two people don’t even need to buy expensive food to have enough food.
In this way, they wouldn't have to spend much money, and Liao Kai had saved a lot of money after working for so many years.
Even though Liao Kai's salary is not high, don't forget that he doesn't need to pay for lunch and doesn't have to eat in fixed quantities.
This alone can save a lot over the years.
In the past, he lived alone, with a monthly ration of 42 kilograms, and he ate lunch at the factory, which saved a lot of food every month.
It can be exchanged for food coupons and sold, which is also income!
Of course, this is all on the surface, and Liao Kai himself is rich!
I guess even Xu Wenwen doesn’t know about that money.
This is understandable. At this time, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Only Li Jiayi could guess some of it. He didn't know exactly how many there were. Only Liao Kai knew.
"Write it down, Liao Kai, two hundred." Director Xu nodded to Liao Kai with satisfaction.
Before Liao Kai came back, Xu Wenwen stood up, walked to the eight-immortal table and said, "I'm donating too. This is my salary for the past few months, a total of 137.5 yuan."
"Have they all been donated?" Director Xu asked.
Xu Wenwen turned her head and looked at Liao Kai, who smiled and nodded.
Xu Wenwen then turned around and said, "Yes, all of it was donated."
"Okay, let's write it down again. Liao Kai and Xu Wenwen donated a total of 337.5 yuan."
"Okay, Director." Secretary Niu quickly wrote it down again.
This is the largest donation so far. Now, more than half of the areas in Xinjiekou Street have donated money.
In addition to Liao Kai, there are a total of seventeen people, or seventeen families, who have donated over a hundred dollars.
Among these 17 families, the largest donation was 150.
After Liao Kai and Xu Wenwen came back and sat down, Director Xu asked, "Anyone else wants to donate?"
PS: Love is always there, can you give me a monthly ticket? Thank you!
