Siheyuan: The Idiot in Charge

Chapter 248 A good umbrella

"Three gentlemen, dear neighbors!"

"The deaf old lady is getting older. Even if she doesn't fall this time, she will still need someone to take care of her. She can't take turns taking care of her in the future, right?"

"The best way is to find an heir for the old lady, or someone to provide for her in her old age."

The crowd started talking again: "Heir? Candidate for retirement?"

Jia Weidong continued: "Yes! Whoever supports the old lady in her old age will inherit the old lady's property, including the house?"

"You three gentlemen, you can ask the old lady to see if she has anyone you like, and then ask everyone if they are willing? If you are willing, you can also take the initiative to sign up!"

The three uncles exchanged their opinions, and the third uncle said: "The method mentioned by Wei Dong is a good one. It can completely solve the elderly care problem of the deaf old lady once and for all."

Of course.

Take turns caring for each other?

It's okay if it's a day or two. How many people would be willing to do it if it lasts a long time?

To put it bluntly, it’s not my own mother and I, or my own mother and I, there are still people who don’t want to take care of me in old age.

Old lady, ancestor?

I'm not my relative, so why should I take care of you in vain?

After some discussion, the three uncles went to the deaf old lady's house.

A group of people, look at me, look at you, no one is willing to take the initiative to sign up to provide for the elderly deaf lady.

Jia Weidong pulled Silly Zhu aside: "Brother, are you willing to support the deaf old lady in her old age?"

Silly Zhu was confused: "Dongzi, why me?"

"Because I feel that the deaf old lady will choose you. If the old lady chooses you, will you be willing?"

"This." Shazhu hesitated and hesitated.

Silly Zhu is not alone now. He has a wife and children and is living a prosperous life. Naturally, he does not want to be a burden to his family.

For the house?

He has two rooms!

It was even less likely that he would have imagined that houses in courtyard houses would be sky-high in price in the future.

Silly Zhu doesn’t know, but Jia Weidong knows.

Besides, providing a lonely old man with someone to rely on and support him in his old age is also a beautiful thing to do good deeds and accumulate virtue.

"Brother, how does the deaf old lady usually treat you?"

"The old lady doesn't usually say anything to me. She's very nice. She really treats me as her grandson."

Regardless of what kind of person the deaf old lady is, she is still very good to Silly Zhu.

This is not just words, as long as Silly Zhu is bullied, the old lady will be the first to stand up.

It's true!

"Brother, the old lady has been so kind to you. We also know that the kindness is repaid. Since he treats you as a grandson, you should also treat him as your grandma and provide her with care for her in her old age."

"Dongzi, it's not that I don't want to take care of the old lady. Your sister-in-law is at work now, so she really doesn't have time."

"Brother, actually, the old lady doesn't need you to spend much time taking care of her right now. You just have to cook some meals for her. Don't you have a aunt to help her?"

"Also, the old lady has some savings of her own, and there is a collective monthly living allowance. You don't need to put in any money. In the end, you can get a house justifiably. It's not a loss!"

Just one house is a bloody profit.

Silly Zhu was moved by Jia Weidong's words and nodded: "Sure!"

After a while, the three uncles returned to the middle courtyard.

The deaf old lady's choice was not at all beyond Jia Weidong's expectation. All the old lady wanted was for Shazhu to provide for her in her old age.

As soon as the three uncles said it, Shazhu nodded in agreement. They hit it off immediately and no one present had any objections.

The matter was resolved satisfactorily, and everyone dispersed, each going back to his own home to look for his mother.

For Shazhu, there is actually a hidden benefit to providing for the deaf old lady.

Silly Zhu's foul mouth can easily offend people. The deaf old lady is the senior one in the courtyard and has high prestige in the courtyard. She can protect Silly Zhu from disasters at critical moments.

In the original play, when Silly Zhu was arrested, the deaf old lady raised her cane and hit the second uncle, who did not dare to fight back.

<divclass="contentadv">This is the main reason why Jia Weidong persuaded Silly Zhu to provide for the old deaf lady.

Living in a courtyard, the deaf old lady is also a good umbrella.

As long as you don't act recklessly and are protected by the deaf old lady, you'll be fine.

Silly Zhu is his elder brother-in-law, so Jia Weidong will never trick him.

Silly Zhu family.

"Zhuzi, why did you agree to provide for the old lady?" Gu Xiaoqin asked Shazhu with a dark face as soon as Shazhu entered the room.

Gu Xiaoqin also listened to the talk in the courtyard at home. When she heard that Sha Zhu promised to provide for the old lady in her old age, she felt that the boss was not happy.

Silly Zhu said sarcastically: "That Xiaoqin, it was Dongzi who persuaded me to agree."

Gu Xiaoqin was stunned: "???"

"Uh! Did Dongzi say that?"

"Yes, if you don't believe me, ask Dongzi tomorrow!"

"That's okay. Dongzi must have his reasons. We are a family. Dongzi will not harm our family."

How could my uncle put his uncle at a disadvantage?

The days passed day by day, and it was early February in a blink of an eye.

The school has gone on winter vacation, and the Spring Festival is getting closer.

Jia Weidong goes to work as usual every day, going to the Textile Farm in the morning and the Red Star Farm in the afternoon.

The closer the Spring Festival comes, the busier Jia Weidong becomes.

Arrange work before and after the holidays, workers on duty and rotation during the Spring Festival, arrange pre-holiday supplies, and cope with the purchases of various units that come here.

Very busy.

The scientific research institute still maintains the rhythm of pulling in ingredients every three days.

A fat pig will be brought in in about ten days, and the rest will be mostly vegetables, with some eggs and chickens thrown in as well.

There is a slight impact on the supply of textile mills.

It doesn’t matter whether the workers work on vegetables or the like, what they want most is meat.

There are currently more than 60 fat pigs on stock in the textile farm that have reached the slaughter standard. As long as the factory leaders are willing, all the workers can have a fat year this year.

Jia Weidong also got the plan of four fat pigs.

The same cannot be said for Hongxing Farm. Currently, there are only 10 animals that barely meet the standards for slaughter.

This was the time that Jia Weidong had calculated. The piglets caught from the textile farm were all fifty or sixty pounds.

No matter how many they are, they cannot be raised, and there is no food reserve.

Allocate food?

In August, when Jia Weidong was in Xiangjiang, the capital area suffered a major flood, severely reducing grain production.

It is impossible to ask your superiors to allocate grain to you to raise pigs. There is not enough food for people.

Hongxing Farm started production in September, and the timing was not awkward. Winter wheat was planted only after the land was leveled in the planting area.

Currently, the feed for the few breeding pigs and fattening pigs in stock is borrowed from the textile farm.

Only after planting one season of corn can the scale of breeding be slowly expanded.

Jia Weidong threw all the plans to sell 10 fattened pigs at Hongxing Farm to Li Huaide without even thinking about it.

Li Huaide's social circle is complicated, and even 10 fat pigs may not be enough for him to deal with. He can deal with them however he wants.

February 2th, the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

Early in the morning, Jia Weidong called Director Wang from the Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office, Director Zhang from the police station, and Liu Feng from the machine repair shop to ask them to take the pigs away as soon as possible.

There is no other way. More and more people know that there are fat pigs in textile farms, and more and more units are coming to visit them.

These days, pork is really delicious.

They are almost turning into Tang Monk meat.
