The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

"Sister-in-law, this fish is very fresh. It must be freshly caught. If you need it next time, tell me."

Yan Bugui took the money for the fish from Chen Xiulan with a smile on his face and continued to sell his products happily.

"Okay, next time you need me, I'll ask my husband, Lao Yi, to find you."

Chen Xiulan didn't say anything. She took the fish and went back to the house.

"This old Yan is really calculating. He shouted so loudly outside. I guess he did it for the people in the courtyard to see."

After Chen Xiulan returned to the room, she started whispering to Yi Zhonghai.

Yan Bugui was shouting so loudly outside just now, I guess the whole Intermediate Court could hear it.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "What's the big deal? You know him, and he's just working hard to earn his money."

Yi Zhonghai didn't react much to this, but he thought that Yan Bugui was a good person, after all, he was self-reliant.

"After all, it's not much more expensive than the vegetable market, right? If Ping An wants to eat, just buy it for him."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he looked at his son Yi Ping'an with a loving expression.

Chen Xiulan smiled upon seeing this. She thought so too. After all, the family was not short of the money, and it was only right to give the children good food.

Liu Minghui didn't pay much attention to Yan Bugui's movements and went into the backyard on his own.

"Bowen, go home and eat."

As soon as he entered the backyard, Liu Minghui saw his son playing with Xu Damao's two children. The three kids were squatting in the corner of the yard where there was a pile of sand left over from when the deaf old lady built a house last year. The three of them were having a lot of fun.

"Hey, Dad, hug me."

When Liu Bowen saw his father coming, he immediately opened his arms and asked Liu Minghui to hug him.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui squatted down and picked up Liu Bowen.

"Look at the sand all over your body. I'll be surprised if your mother doesn't spank you when you get home."

When Liu Minghui saw the sand and dirt on his son's face, he couldn't help but laugh and scold him.

"Well, no, Mommy won't spank me."

Liu Bowen felt that he had lost face in front of his friends, and immediately muttered and buried his head in Liu Minghui's arms.

"Okay, Da Hu and Er Hu, I'm going to take Bo Wen back to eat. You guys have fun on your own and be careful."

Liu Minghui said something to Xu Damao's two sons, then turned around and prepared to go home.

"Ahem, little Liu."

At this time, the deaf old lady who had not been seen for a long time came out of the house and called out to Liu Minghui who was about to leave.

Liu Minghui turned around in surprise when he heard that. Seeing that it was the deaf old lady, he was a little confused and wondered what the matter was.

The deaf old lady, with slightly messy pale hair, was seen walking slowly and tremblingly with a cane in front of Liu Minghui and his son.

The deaf old lady came up to the two of them, looked at Liu Bowen in Liu Minghui's arms, and said kindly: "Good boy, what's your name, and how old are you this year?"

Seeing the deaf old lady looking at her son, Liu Minghui suddenly became a little nervous and could not help but reply, "Old lady, it's cold outside now. Why don't you stay at home and rest? Why are you out?"

Liu Bowen huddled in Liu Minghui's arms, quietly raised his head and looked at the deaf old lady in front of him. Having never seen a deaf old lady before, he thought she was just an old grandmother.

"Grandma, my name is Liu Bowen, and I am three years old."

Liu Bowen's babyish answer brought a smile to the deaf old lady's face.

No one knew what the deaf old lady was thinking today. She had been staying in the house, and when she heard the laughter of several children playing outside, she stood at the door for a long time. Only when Liu Minghui came over did she call out to the father and son.

"Okay, you've grown up to be really tough."

The deaf old lady laughed happily when she heard this.

Originally Liu Minghui thought that the deaf old lady was going to say something, but what the deaf old lady did next was something Liu Minghui had never expected.

The deaf old lady took out something from her pocket and was about to hand it to Liu Bowen with trembling hands.

"No one told me when the child was born. This little thing can be used to pray for the child's safety."

Liu Minghui looked at the object carefully and immediately refused.

"How can this be possible? This is too valuable. Bowen can't afford it. You should take it back."

The deaf old lady was holding a longevity lock, which was glowing yellow and was obviously made of gold, so it was worth a lot of money.

Liu Minghui couldn't figure out the deaf old lady's intentions, so of course he wouldn't accept it and could only refuse out loud.

"It's okay, it's for the child."

The deaf old lady wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Minghui.

Liu Minghui looked at the deaf old lady with a serious expression: "Old lady, you'd better put this thing away. My child won't take it."

Liu Minghui refused righteously. After all, he had not spoken much to the deaf old lady since he moved into the courtyard. Regardless of whether the deaf old lady was trying to show kindness to him or had other ideas, Liu Minghui would not accept this thing.

When the deaf old lady saw Liu Minghui's appearance, she knew that the things could not be delivered, so she could only sigh dejectedly and put the things away.

"Oh, forget it, let's just leave it at that."

Then the deaf old lady turned around and walked towards her room without speaking to the two men anymore.

"I've seen it and I'm going to go to the street office."

When the deaf old lady turned around and walked back, she muttered softly as if she remembered something.

Just watching her leaving, Liu Bowen asked curiously: "Dad, why haven't I seen this old lady before?"

"You are still young, and there are so many people you haven't met. Let's go home and eat."

Liu Minghui did not give a direct answer and took his son home.

But along the way, Liu Minghui was thinking about why the deaf old lady did that.

What he didn't know was that the deaf old lady was not living a happy life now. Now that Yi Zhonghai was no longer a grandfather, he no longer took the job that the street office had asked him to do to take care of the deaf old lady seriously.

In addition, after Yi Zhonghai and his wife adopted Yi Ping'an, they forgot about her even more.

The deaf old lady is living a very hard life now. Although she has money every month and enough food, she has no one to take care of her.

She had originally been relying on Chen Xiulan for care. In the past, Chen Xiulan took care of everything inside and outside the house. Now that Chen Xiulan doesn't care about her anymore, she can only fend for herself.

Besides, the deaf old lady is not young anymore and can hardly walk well with a cane, not to mention that she needs to do her own laundry and cooking.

In addition, the house collapsed under the snow last year, and he was cold. Now his health is not as good as before. In the past, he could teach Jia Zhang a lesson by swinging his cane, but now he guesses that even if Jia Zhang doesn't dodge, he can't hit her with the cane.
