Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Wife, let's move. We'll move to that neighborhood so that it'll be easier for you to take care of your daughter-in-law. The wine has been sold anyway, so the house will be empty anyway."

"I'll discuss this with Bang Geng. Unless there are special circumstances, I'll come home early from get off work and make dinner, just like I did for you back then. If you give me enough nutrition, I'm sure you'll give birth to a big fat boy."

Ma Dongmei thought for a while and said, "Forget it. What should we do if we move an old man? You promised to provide for his retirement.

And is it okay for you to come home every day to cook dinner? You are paid several thousand yuan a month, and it is not justifiable for you to be late and leave early. "

"Ask the uncle if he wants to live with us. If he is willing, he can move in with us. It won't cost him a bite to eat. If he is not willing, forget it. It's not my fault now. Besides, he is not my biological father. Having a grandson is definitely more important."

"I think there should be no problem in the kitchen. I rarely help out anyway. Wouldn't it be better to train more young people and give them opportunities? Isn't that how my father got by?"

"Besides, my son and daughter-in-law are both in the company. Even my daughter is the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family. They don't even give me this little face."

Ma Dongmei thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you say. Chunlan's mother passed away early, this girl doesn't understand, and her son doesn't know either. Plus, I'm worried about the two little ones.

I will go to the house over there to clean it tomorrow and take the clothes and things there first. When you get off work tomorrow, you can go over there. It’s closer.”

"I think the old man is asleep now. Go tell him tomorrow morning. After all, you promised to take care of him in his old age. I think he has gotten used to living here and won't move with us."

"Okay, I'll wake him up right now and tell him to think about it at night. It would be fine if he doesn't move, but if he moves, I won't be home during the day, and I'll feel so uncomfortable being with you."

Ma Dongmei scratched Sha Zhu's finger and said, "What are you thinking? It's not certain whether the old man will move or not. Besides, the old man can be my father, so I can serve him like a father-in-law. What's wrong with that?"

"Okay, I'll go find him right now."

As he said that, Sha Zhu put on a piece of clothing and came to Yi Zhonghai's door, banging on it. "Uncle, are you asleep? I have something to discuss with you."

Yi Zhonghai had just fallen asleep when he was woken up by the noise made by Sha Zhu. He had no choice but to put on his clothes and get up to open the door. "Zhu, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Uncle, I promised to take care of you in your old age, but this man is always so blunt. Now I have something to discuss with you."

Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Sha Zhu wouldn't be hooking up with Zhao Shanhe now and not care about him anymore after he became rich, but he still waited for Sha Zhu to finish his words.

"It's like this, isn't He Dong married? Now my daughter-in-law is pregnant. You also know that my daughter-in-law is taking care of her younger brothers and sisters. Her mother passed away early and doesn't know anything, so Dongmei and I want to move out to take care of them."

"I have another house in that neighborhood, so we decided to move. After all, I promised to take care of you in your old age, so I, Shazhu, will definitely keep my word. Just ask Uncle if you want to move with us. If you do, you can pack up your things and go there with Dongmei tomorrow. Such a big house will definitely have a place for you to live, and you can live with us."

"If you don't move, you know my phone number. If you have anything, call me and I'll come back to see you. That's the thing. Uncle, what do you think is your decision?"

Yi Zhonghai's head was buzzing with shock at this huge news. "Zhu Zi, will you come back after the baby is born? Or are you planning to live there from now on?"

"I guess he won't come back. If he has a grandson, he will definitely need to take care of him. He Dong and his wife both have jobs. It will be convenient for Dongmei to take care of him during the confinement period and take care of the child."

"You're not coming back?" Yi Zhonghai was still a little confused.

Sha Zhu nodded with certainty, "Well, he probably won't come back."

"Zhu Zi, this news is a bit sudden. Can you let me think about it tonight and give you an answer tomorrow morning?"

"Yeah, I thought so too. Dongmei and I just found out that our daughter-in-law is pregnant, so we made the decision to move. So I wanted to wake you up and think about it carefully. After all, I promised to take care of you in your old age. You can think about it slowly. I'll go back first."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't sleep now. He sat on the sofa and smoked a cigarette. He had finally found someone to take care of his elderly, but now he had to move. However, Sha Zhu's reasons were very sufficient. The person wanted to have his grandchildren, so how could he stop him? Besides, Sha Zhu kept his word and wanted to take him there to live in his old age.

However, I have lived here for most of my life. If I move there, will I be able to get used to it? At least the neighbors around here are all from the steel mill, so I am familiar with them. I will not be used to moving to an apartment building.

But I have no children. If I don’t follow Sha Zhu, who will take care of me in my old age? I can’t find someone new.

As he was thinking, he thought about everyone in the yard. The Zhao family in the front yard had moved away, and only the third uncle was left. The third uncle's three sons were all good at calculating. The third uncle himself didn't have anyone to take care of him in his old age, so none of the three could be relied on.

The Jia family in the central courtyard moved out, and Passerby A moved in. Now Sha Zhu is also going to move out, and there is no one left.

The old lady in the backyard passed away, He Daqing went to live with Widow Bai, leaving only Liu Guangfu's family and the second aunt. Liu Guangfu has the second aunt to take care of in his old age, and it is probably difficult for him to take care of himself in his old age. The only person he can rely on is Sha Zhu.

If I don't go with Sha Zhu, no one would know if I got smelly one day. I have finally found an old man to take care of him after many years, so it seems I have no choice but to go with Sha Zhu. At least it's better to be uncomfortable than to have no one to take care of him.

Yi Zhonghai lit a stick of incense on the photo of a lady and said, "My dear, you left and ended everything, leaving me all alone. Now everyone in the hospital has become rich and moved away. I have decided to leave with Sha Zhu, otherwise no one will know if I become stinky."

The next day, Yi Zhonghai saw Ma Dongmei coming out to get some water, so he went over to her and said, "Dongmei, what do you think I need to bring?"

"Uncle, have you decided to move with us?"

"Well, I have no children. If I don't move, I'm afraid no one will know if I get stinky one day. Don't worry, I'll pay for your food and give you my retirement salary. I won't be a burden to you."

"Uncle, look at what you are saying. We, Zhuzi, promised to take care of you in your old age. You just need to bring some clothes to change. Bedding and other things are available over there."

After listening to what Ma Dongmei said, Yi Zhonghai went to pack his things and clothes.
