The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 310, Yi Zhonghai’s confusion

After dealing with Jia and Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Yi Zhonghai returned home and sat at the dining table, lit a cigarette, and then started to stay in a daze.

The cigarette between his fingers burned slowly, a wisp of smoke slowly floated up, and then dispersed in the wind.

As time passed by, Yi Zhonghai remained sitting there, motionless.

It wasn't until the cigarette burned out and burned his fingers that Yi Zhonghai woke up from the burning pain.

Seeing her husband's lost state, the aunt felt very sad. She sighed deeply and blamed herself:

"Hey Lao Yi, it's all me that has dragged you down. If I could give you a son and a half, our family wouldn't have pinned its hopes on others and ended up in this embarrassing situation." After saying this, the eldest mother quietly said He turned around and wiped away his tears.

Over the years, because they had no children, the couple put most of their hopes on Jia Dongxu and invested a lot of time, energy, emotion and resources in him.

Now that they are watching Jia Dongxu grow up, the old couple also have certain security in their later years.

But in the blink of an eye, all her wishes came to nothing, which made her feel uncomfortable and blame herself.

Yi Zhonghai came back to his senses, shook his head, and said comfortingly: "Don't think about those things. People have good and bad times, and there are some things that we can't control. We are still young now, and we still have a lot of time. I will think about it again." There’s a way, don’t worry.”

"But who else can we look for now? Lao Yi, how about we go to the neighborhood committee to adopt a child?" the eldest mother suggested.

She was talking about some orphaned children who had fled to the city and were temporarily placed in neighborhood committee compounds.

In the past two years, many people have fled to the city due to famine. Many people took their children to the city to find a way out, but they failed and left their children to die.

These parentsless children are currently placed in residential homes in the streets and neighborhood committees. Many of them are well-behaved, obedient and lovable.

The aunt doesn't have to go to work, so she often walks around with the neighbors at home. She knows a lot of news and has gone to see her. She is too eager to have a child of her own, so she is a little moved.

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, his eyes flickered and he was quite moved.

But when he thought of the children of Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, he calmed down again.

He has watched the children of Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui grow up, and he knows very well what kind of character they have.

Especially Liu Guangqi, the eldest son of the Liu family, can be said to have received all kinds of love from his family.

The result was that such a pampered and obedient child ran away with his wife and pail not long after getting married, and before leaving, the family was plundered.

This gave him a great shock.

The old Liu family can even do this to their biological sons. Yi Zhonghai doesn't know if he can educate his children well, and he's not sure whether his adopted children will be filial to him in the future.

Adopting a child is expensive and risky, and he really doesn't dare to gamble with the rest of his life.

It's okay if you win the bet, but if you lose the bet, your life will be really miserable.

After thinking about it, Yi Zhonghai finally shook his head and refused: "Forget it about adoption. The risk is too great. I'll think of other ways."

The aunt naturally knew what he was worried about, and originally wanted to give him some advice, but when she thought about the uncertainty of adoption, she gave up after thinking about it.

In the end, she had no choice but to sigh: "But what choice do we have now?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't speak, just sat there in silence.

After a moment, his eyes flashed, as if he remembered something. He turned to the aunt and asked, "Honey, what do you think of Silly Zhu? Didn't you always mean Silly Zhu before?"

Yi Zhonghai had just rummaged through his personal network in his mind, and among the younger generation in the hospital, Sha Zhu and Li Weiguo were the most suitable ones.

However, Li Weiguo already had a master and a promising future. He felt that he could not grasp it, so he gave up.

But Silly Pillar is a good choice, and he also laid some foundations in the early years.

For people like Silly Zhu, it would be a good choice to train and guide them properly.

The eldest mother was startled, then shook her head: "Maybe it was okay before, but it's hard to say now."

"Oh why?"

The eldest mother explained: "I also talked with the old lady when I had nothing to do. The old lady said that Silly Zhu is different from before after getting married. His wife is a smart girl."

Yi Zhonghai fell silent.

In the past, the way he trained and guided Si Zhu was just small favors and moral restraints. This little trick worked well for Si Zhu, a stupid and thick-headed man, but it may not work for Si Zhu's daughter-in-law, Peng Feiyan. That girl is shrewd. Still sitting.

If they want Sha Zhu to provide for the couple in their old age, it's not enough to just guide Sha Zhu, but Peng Feiyan has to nod.

Seeing his silence, the aunt suddenly thought about it and gave him an idea:

"Lao Yi, why don't we go ask the old lady? The old lady is very experienced and knows people and things accurately. Maybe she has any good ideas?"

"And we took over the task of the neighborhood committee to provide for the old lady in her old age. The old lady also promised to help us and not leave us without a place to live. I think she can give us some pointers."

Yi Zhonghai heard what she said and felt that it made sense. He was old and experienced, so he might as well ask the old lady for her advice.

"Okay, I'll go find the old lady and ask."

Now that Jia Dongxu was gone, Yi Zhonghai was very confused, insecure, and felt empty. He simply didn't want to wait any longer, so he immediately found a raincoat and walked to the backyard in the pouring rain.

When the aunt saw Yi Zhonghai put on his raincoat and left in a hurry, she gritted her teeth, found a straw hat, and hurriedly followed him in the rain.

The heavy rain outside the house never stopped, and the sky was completely dark at this time.

Back room, old lady's house.

The old lady was leaning next to the kerosene lamp and mending clothes in the dim light.

Suddenly, Yi Zhonghai and his wife knocked on the door and came in despite the heavy rain. The old lady thought something big had happened, but when the couple explained the matter, she felt a little helpless and emotional.

When a person reaches fifty and realizes his destiny, all he wants is stability in the rest of his life. Jia Dongxu suddenly disappeared, and she understood that the couple had lost their balance.

The old lady pondered for a moment and gave him some advice: "Zhonghai, if you want to find a suitable person for your retirement, Zhuzi is indeed a good candidate, and I have no objection."

"But if you choose a pillar, it's best to ask Wei Guo what he wants first."

"Why, old lady?"

The old lady explained: "Why, that kid from Weiguo doesn't like to get involved in the troubles in the courtyard. You chose Zhuzhu, which indirectly affected him."

"On the day of Silly Zhu's blind date, Weiguo caught Xu Damao who was going to cause trouble. You don't think Weiguo doesn't know your little thoughts, do you?"

"He just doesn't want to point you out!"

After that, the old lady glared at him angrily, blaming him for doing something stupid for nothing.

Hearing the old lady mention this, even though Yi Zhonghai was a wealthy man, he couldn't help but blush. It was really embarrassing for him to instigate others to disturb the younger generation's blind date and still be seen through.

"Old lady, how should I ask this?" Yi Zhonghai smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.

The old lady rolled her eyes at him and said, "How else can I ask? Of course I have to ask openly and honestly. If you want to get something, you have to pay something, right?"

"Uh this."

Yi Zhonghai hesitated. The old lady's suggestion was pertinent and good, but it was not what he wanted.

He, an elder, went to ask a junior if he could provide for him until he retires. It always felt like a high-end deal, lacking a bit of sincerity.

If we talk about payment and reward, it's more like making a deal with a clear price tag, which is not what he wants.

"Old lady, let me think about it first."

"Oh, okay, you think about it first. If you've made up your mind, go ahead and say it. If you don't think about it, it's best not to make any small moves."

"Uh yes."

Yi Zhonghai and his wife left soon. Looking at the two people walking away, the old lady shook her head meaningfully, and then sighed again.
