Courtyard House: They all say I'm a good person

Chapter 103 Do your part and contribute your strength

"I'll go ask Sister Qin!"

Unable to get an answer from Shen Zhishou, Yu Li had a sudden inspiration and thought of Qin Huairu.

Compared to the two of them, Qin Huairu had lived in the courtyard house for many years and knew a bit about the ins and outs of it.

After all, this is certainly not the first time someone has donated money.

Yu Li left quickly and returned quickly.

However, her expression was indeed a bit strange.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Zhishou asked curiously.

Yu Li lowered her voice and said very softly, "Sister Qin said that there were two donations in the courtyard before. One of them was when there was fighting in the east, and the Jia family donated a month's salary for Jia Dongxu!"

"So many!"

Upon hearing this answer, Shen Zhishou was also taken aback.

But soon, Yu Li added, "After the donation, Yi Zhonghai gave Jia Dongxu an extra month's salary."

""

"Sister Qin said she didn't know whether the money was returned or a special subsidy from Yi Zhonghai!"

Hearing Yu Li's additional words, Shen Zhishou was even more convinced.

Sure enough, these people really know how to have fun!

With Jia Dongxu leading the way, the amount of donations that time was definitely not small.

This time, Yi Zhonghai isn't the big boss in charge. So, how much money will be donated this time?

After thinking for a moment, Shen Zhishou decided to donate a month's salary as well!

That's all he can donate right now, no more!

Any more than that, and it won't be a good thing.

After listening to Shen Zhishou's decision, Yu Li thought about it and nodded in agreement.

They can still afford to pay that amount.

Soon, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui arrived at the back room with a donation box.

Behind the two were quite a few people.

Shen Zhishou donated thirty yuan directly.

This is his monthly salary!

"Xiao Shen, your level of awareness is indeed quite high!"

Liu Haizhong was very satisfied with Shen Zhishou's tact.

In his view, with Shen Zhishou setting such an example, everyone else would have to perform well too, otherwise it would be outrageous.

Shen Zhishou had no idea that he had inadvertently become a role model in the courtyard and had been transformed into a human by Liu Haizhong.

However, even knowing this, Shen Zhishou would not change his decision.

He does what he believes he should do.

As for what others did because of him, that has nothing to do with Shen Zhishou.

After donating the money, Shen Zhishou closed the door; he had no interest in getting involved in what happened next.

How much money someone is willing to donate is their business.

As for whether Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui will publicize how much money he donated, those two have mouths to keep, and Shen Zhishou can't possibly shut them up.

I closed the door, tidied up a bit, washed up, and went to bed.

Although it's not winter yet, the weather is getting colder every day, so it's still warmer in bed.

Shen Zhishou is not afraid of the cold, but that does not mean he is willing to endure the cold.

That night, the courtyard house was bustling again, and quite a few people couldn't help but curse inside.

Shen Zhishou, on the other hand, slept very soundly.

However, when I woke up the next morning, it was raining outside again.

There's been a lot of rain these days, but thankfully it hasn't been heavy. However, it gets cold when it rains, so I reckon winter will be here soon!

Shen Zhishou walked alone on his way to the steel rolling mill.

Yu Li and Qin Huairu are practically sisters, even though they have different fathers. They go to and from get off work together every day and are incredibly close.

"Brother Shen, are you alone again?"

Xu Damao suddenly jumped out from behind and greeted Shen Zhishou with a smile.

"Yes, Yu Li and Qin Huairu left together!"

"Brother, I'm not trying to be mean, but you need to keep an eye on your wife. She never sticks up with her husband; she's always hanging out with Qin Huairu. She really doesn't respect you!"

"You're the one who set up the bicycle!"

Xu Damao appeared to be speaking up for Shen Zhishou.

Unfortunately, Shen Zhishou knew that this guy had ulterior motives.

"What's the big deal?"

Shen Zhishou chuckled, "My wife just arrived in the compound and doesn't know anyone yet. It's normal that she's getting along well with Qin Huairu!"

"Besides, it's only a short distance from the steel mill to our courtyard house. I'm a grown man, it's not like I'm incapacitated!"

Shen Zhishou would not expose Xu Damao's little scheme.

However, Shen Zhishou wondered if he should teach Xu Damao a lesson to make him behave, since Qin Huairu was now his woman, and he didn't like other men coveting his woman.

Although Qin Huairu's relationship with him was something that couldn't be made public, any normal man would find it unacceptable!

"Brother Xu, it's been a while since you've shown movies in the countryside!"

"Not long at all!"

Xu Damao chuckled, "I'm actually more comfortable not showing movies in the countryside!"

"Brother Xu, this is a special time!"

"Don't you think it's time to show off?"

Shen Zhishou gave Xu Damao a knowing look.

Xu Damao actually started to think about what Shen Zhishou said.

These are extraordinary times, indeed!

There's a war going on over there in the snow-capped mountains!

This is the time when we need to unite as one and when we should show our good character!

"Brother, it has to be you! Your awareness is truly exceptional!"

"I'm going to see our section chief today!"

Xu Damao was instantly filled with fighting spirit.

He also has an ambition.

However, he has not made any progress in his position as a projectionist over the years, and his father-in-law refuses to help him out.

Since his father-in-law wouldn't help, he would rely on his own efforts to climb the ladder step by step and show him that he, Xu Damao, was also a capable person.

Shen Zhishou smiled modestly and said, "What awareness do I have? You know, I used to be from the village, so naturally I know what everyone is thinking."

"Yeah, Brother Xu, you're going to have to work hard again!"

"Serving my fellow farmers is what I should do; there's nothing hard about it!"

Xu Damao replied with great enthusiasm.

The two talked and soon arrived at the steel rolling mill.

Shen Zhishou went to the fitter workshop, and Xu Damao went to the publicity department.

In the early morning, Zhou Wangjia, the workshop director, suddenly approached Shen Zhishou, saying that there was a task that required him to go.

"Director, what's the task? With my skills, I don't want to embarrass our factory!"

In Shen Zhishou's mind, all tasks were handled by the experienced workers in the factory, who would occasionally help out newcomers. What could an apprentice like him, who hadn't even passed the initial assessment, possibly do?

"Don't worry, it's not difficult, just a bit tiring!"

"The factory will give you an extra subsidy!"

Zhou Wangjia explained the task in a few words: the train station asked him to help.

Shen Zhishou instantly understood what was going on.

Yang Zhenhua and Wang Weigong mentioned this to him that day, and Shen Zhishou also said that it was no problem at all.

After all, this is a perfectly legitimate way to earn two jobs!

I donated a month's salary yesterday, and today I can make up for part of it.

"Director, am I the only one here?"

"Yes, just you!"

Zhou Wangjia patted Shen Zhishou on the shoulder, "I know you're strong, but you have to take it easy. Health is the foundation of everything. Don't squander it just because you're young. Remember, don't overexert yourself!"

"Director, don't worry, I understand!"

Shen Zhishou was quite grateful for Zhou Wangjia's concern.

When Shen Zhishou came out of the factory, he saw the jeep parked at the factory gate. The driver, Xiao Zhang, was standing there and waved to Shen Zhishou as soon as he saw him.

"Brother Shen, over here!"

Shen Zhishou quickly approached, smiled, and said, "A lot of stuff at the freight station?"

"Much older!"

"It's all because of the war; so many supplies are being shipped over there!"

"Alright, let's get started!"

Shen Zhishou stopped talking nonsense.

He has no other skills, only his strength. Since he can't go to the battlefield, he can still contribute to logistics, which is his way of doing his part.

The jeep started up quickly and headed straight for the train station.

Wang Weigong waited outside the freight station and waved his arms when he saw the jeep coming.

At this moment, Wang Weigong's eyes were bloodshot, and it was clear that he had stayed up all night and was also suffering from internal heat.

"Brother Shen, that's all for now. I'll treat you to a drink when I'm done with this!"

"Brother Wang, you're being too polite. I'll get back to work now!"

Shen Zhishou didn't waste any more words and went straight to the warehouse inside the freight station.

This is not about transferring goods from the freight station to various places, but about loading various supplies onto trains at a specified time and sending them to the southwest.

The task is indeed demanding and time is tight!

Inside the freight station, there were even soldiers standing guard with live ammunition!

Upon arrival, Shen Zhishou was immediately assigned to the most strenuous position, handling large and heavy items – this was where he could best utilize his abilities.

As he hurriedly moved supplies through the freight station, watching the porters coming and going, Shen Zhishou gained a clearer understanding of the saying that war is all about logistics.

No wonder the imperial court was always busy as a spinning top when war broke out in ancient times.

War is all about attrition!
