Chapter 22 The Origin of Ruining the Marriage

After the excitement was over, Yi Zhonghai helped the deaf old lady back home and followed her into the house.

The deaf old lady spoke first: "Are you unwilling to accept Jia Dongxu as your apprentice?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head: "No. I'm just worried."

"Tell me about it." The deaf old lady thought about it and didn't think of anything to worry about.

Yi Zhonghai knew that since he had agreed to accept a disciple, he could not go back on his word. Now he could only try his best to make up for it: "Cui Lan told me this morning that Dongxu should get married. Do you think that if he marries a woman from the city, will she still provide for us in our old age?"

The deaf old lady tapped her cane again and again, feeling somewhat guilty. She had indeed neglected the matter of getting married and having children. Now she had no other choice but to find a way to solve this problem.

"Zhonghai, Dongxu's marriage is inevitable."

Yi Zhonghai's face was a little sad: "I know, I'm just worried that he will get married and forget me, his master. As the old saying goes, a man forgets his mother after getting married, let alone me, his master. With me as his master, he will definitely be able to find a good wife.

I am worried that his wife will not agree to support me in my old age. If she directly disagrees, then I will just pretend that I don't have him as my apprentice.

But if they don't say anything, and they do something like this to me when I'm old, I won't have anywhere to regret it."

After Yi Zhonghai said this, Jia Dongxu's marriage had a great impact on them.

The deaf old lady did not dare to be careless and thought seriously about how to solve it. This small problem was certainly not difficult for her.

"Don't worry about that. Just find him someone who is filial and obedient."

"But can he listen to me?" Yi Zhonghai was not as confident as he would be later.

The deaf old lady smiled and said, "When a woman comes to find a partner, she will definitely ask about the man's situation. Tell me, whose daughter would like to have a mother-in-law like Zhang Xiaohua? Tomorrow, your wife and I will go out and tell others about Zhang Xiaohua, and Jia Dongxu will not be able to find a wife.

You, don't sit idle either, ask someone to find a filial daughter-in-law for Jia Dongxu."

Yi Zhonghai was immediately amazed in his heart. He had been worrying about something for a whole day, but the deaf old lady came up with a solution in such a short time.

This is a really great idea.

As long as he finds a filial wife for Jia Dongxu, he won't have to worry about Jia Dongxu being unfilial in the future. If Jia Dongxu is unfilial, let his wife persuade him.

"An old man in the family is like a treasure. Godmother, if you hadn't reminded me, I would still be confused."

The deaf old lady knew that the crisis was over and smiled with satisfaction: "Zhong Hai, you can't accept Jia Dongxu as your apprentice secretly, you must let others know.

What I mean is, hold a banquet to pay respect to the master, invite several families in our courtyard, and invite some friends to be witnesses. With so many people present, Jia Dongxu will have no choice but to acknowledge him. "

Yi Zhonghai had the same idea in mind, so he said, "I think so too. Let's talk to Dongxu tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is off duty, so it's a good day to arrange the apprenticeship banquet."

The deaf old lady was very happy to think that she would have a good meal the day after tomorrow. She said, "Let's do as you said. Let He Daqing cook the day after tomorrow. He may not be a good cook, but his cooking skills are excellent. He is the best cook in our area. Let him cook with Sha Zhu that day, and we can save the money for the cook."

Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that he would have to pay for this money himself, so he didn't care too much: "Do you think you should ask the leaders of the Military Control Commission for help?"

The deaf old lady was somewhat tempted, but when she thought about the temper of those people, she refused: "They have their own policies, they may not come. Another thing is that he is the leader of the Military Control Commission now. I don't know where he will be in the future.

Isn't there a war going on over there? They might go to the battlefield at any time."

Yi Zhonghai thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth. If he hired those people now and they were transferred away in two years, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

He did not insist any longer and learned from the deaf old lady before leaving.

Liu Haizhong was about to go to the bathroom, and when he saw Yi Zhonghai, he asked, "Old Yi, what are you doing in the backyard so late at night?"

Yi Zhonghai said righteously: "I am worried that the old lady is not doing well, so I came to see her. Lao Liu, you and the old lady both live in the backyard, so you should take better care of her. Don't be too selfish, you must be filial."

Liu Haizhong was so angry. He just wanted to go to the toilet, but he was scolded. He was not a pushover. He said, "Old Yi, if you want to take care of it, that's your business. You don't have any children, so you have plenty of energy. I can't compare to you." Yi Zhonghai looked dark and glared at Liu Haizhong. Didn't he just give birth to a son? What's the big deal? Even though you have many sons, none of them are filial.

Liu Haizhong was in no mood to argue with him, so he trotted to the bathroom.

Xu Fugui and Xu Damao heard the noise outside, but pretended not to hear anything.

After Yi Zhonghai left, Xu Fugui taught Xu Damao: "Did you hear that? Yi Zhonghai is a hypocrite. Don't bother with him in the future."

Xu Damao said nonchalantly, "I know. I won't bother with a family that has lost its entire family."

The next morning, Jia Zhang told everyone about Jia Dongxu's apprenticeship, and Yan Bugui's wife and Liu Haizhong's wife both knew about it.

The few people who knew the news were quite surprised and ran to the Intermediate Court to inquire about the news.

This was the first time that several families in the courtyard gathered together.

Sha Zhu didn't come forward, but sat at home hiding.

He Yushui looked at him eagerly: "Brother, where is my candy today?"

Sha Zhu couldn't resist her little gaze, so he took out a piece from his pocket and stuffed it into her little mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

"It's delicious, but there's too little of it." He Yushui nodded her head quickly and said vaguely.

"Not a small amount. If you eat too much, you'll get worms in your mouth."

He Yushui was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth, touched it with her little hand, and then glared at Sha Zhu angrily.

After teasing He Yushui, Sha Zhu went to work with a smile on his face.

Others also went up one after another. Jia Dongxu called Yi Zhonghai "Master" all the time and treated him politely.

When no one was around, Yi Zhonghai said, "Dongxu, you have passed my assessment, and I plan to teach you all my skills.

However, the rules must be followed. You need to prepare a banquet for the apprenticeship, and invite our neighbors in the courtyard and several masters in the factory. Let them be witnesses at that time."

Jia Dongxu was stunned for a moment, then immediately agreed: "Master, this is what I should do. I will tell my mother when I get home."

Yi Zhonghai was very satisfied with his statement and said, "Tomorrow is my day off. I think we should schedule it for tomorrow!"

"This..." Jia Dongxu hesitated.

As a son, he knew Jia Zhang's character very well. It would be difficult to get her to pay for the dinner.

Yi Zhonghai didn't get a response from Jia Dongxu, so he asked, "Why, you don't want to?"

Jia Dongxu didn't dare to admit it, and quickly said: "I'm just worried that the time is too tight and it won't be done well."

"It doesn't matter. I'll tell the chefs when we get to work. I'll ask Lao He to be the cook. I'll ask Sha Zhu to go out and buy groceries for you tomorrow morning."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had made all the arrangements, Jia Dongxu had no choice but to agree.

Yi Zhonghai said no more, and when he got to the workshop, he gave Jia Dongxu a favor. He personally went to the workshop director and told him that if he wanted to teach Jia Dongxu the skills, he should not assign him any odd jobs.

The workshop director naturally would not refuse this request, and even asked Yi Zhonghai if he wanted to take in a few more apprentices.

Yi Zhonghai naturally would not agree, and refused on the grounds that he needed to investigate Jia Dongxu first.
