I messed up the Siheyuan

"What do you mean?" the deaf old lady frowned and asked.

"Old lady, I heard..." Yi Zhonghai said awkwardly, "Before liberation, you knew a lot of people on the street?"

"People on the street?" A trace of panic and anger flashed across the deaf old lady's face. "Zhonghai! We can't talk nonsense! How can an old lonely woman like me get to know those people?"

"Ouch!... Old lady..." Yi Zhonghai said hurriedly: "You misunderstood, I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted Huang Saner from Dongcheng to write this letter of complaint for me."

"Huang San'er?" The deaf old lady's expression softened. "Why is it him?"

"Hasn't Huang San'er always been hanging around in the black market in Dongcheng?" Yi Zhonghai explained, "Let's have him write a letter of denunciation saying, 'Someone used 15 kilograms of meat bought from the black market to get a permanent job in advance at the company, which was a big bargain. He was so angry that he wrote a letter of denunciation.'"

The deaf old lady was stunned by these words, and then she nodded slowly, "That's right! This letter of complaint can only be written by someone like Huang Saner, so it would be reasonable."

After saying this, she lowered her head and pondered for a long time under Yi Zhonghai's expectant gaze before she said, "Okay! I'll do it for you!"

After saying that, she raised her head again and looked at Yi Zhonghai with a half-smile, "Zhonghai, to be honest with you, I really envy you!

He was just in his forties and had already found someone to take care of him in his old age.

Not only has it been decided, but it can be changed at any time... Wow... It's incredible! ... I, an old woman, can't compare to that! ..."

The deaf old lady's words left Yi Zhonghai stunned.

But soon, he realized what the deaf old lady meant.

They want him to take care of himself in his old age!

this...

My own choice of retirement plan is still in turmoil... and now he finds himself a mother and provides for her?

What is going on?

......

Yi Zhonghai remained silent and did not respond immediately, and the deaf old lady was not annoyed.

She smiled slightly and said, "Zhonghai, what do you think of my house?"

"Uh!...House?" Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, but after looking around, he replied: "Your house is of course the best!

Before the liberation, your house would have been occupied only by the eldest lady of the family.

The house in our courtyard, that is, the house of Sha Zhu in the middle courtyard, can be compared with yours."

The deaf old lady nodded with a smile and said, "My house is not public property, it is my private property.

As for me... I saved a little money before liberation... not much... just a few gold bars and some jewelry..."

At this point, her face straightened and she said solemnly, "Zhong Hai!... Now that I have said this, I won't hide it from you anymore.

As long as you and Dongmei can support me in my old age, this house and my pocket money will be left to you."

"Old lady, are you telling the truth?" A trace of greed flashed across Yi Zhonghai's face.

"Look at what you said! I am an old woman who is buried in the dirt up to my neck, how can I argue with you about this kind of thing!" The deaf old lady said: "Besides, Zhong Hai, don't worry!

Although I will let you take care of me in my old age, my requirements are not high.

That’s right…When eating, just having something warm is enough.”

These words made Yi Zhonghai feel relieved.

After a brief pause, he nodded heavily, "Okay! I'll take your request. From today on, you are Dongmei and I's godmother."

"Hey! Hey! Hey!...Good! Good! Good!..." The deaf old lady responded happily.

......

Jia family.

As soon as Jia Dongxu pushed the door open and came in, Jia Zhang, who was lying on the kang, rolled off the kang like a meat ball.

"Dongxu, what's going on? Did your master agree?"

"I agree!" Jia Dongxu nodded. "My master said he would give me another ten kilograms of corn flour and asked me to go get it in the evening."

"Cornnoodles? Tsk!..." The expectation on Jia Zhang's face quickly disappeared, and was replaced by a look of disgust, "Just corn flour? Your master didn't say to give some white flour, or rice or something?"

"Oh my god!" Jia Dongxu smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "What good things are you thinking about? It's already very good that my master can give me these corn flours!

If he doesn't give it to us, what can we do?"

Jia Zhang snorted and said unwillingly, "Aren't you his apprentice who is in good health? If you don't eat well now, how can you support him in his old age?"

"Mom!..." Jia Dongxu shouted in a suppressed voice, and then looked out the window again, and then turned to Jia Zhang and said angrily: "Mom, you can't say that! If my master hears it, he will definitely turn against our family."

"Don't worry!... I'm not stupid!..." Jia Zhang waved her hands impatiently, "I'm just saying this in the room, how can I say it outside?"

"Alright! Alright!... Let's not talk about this anymore..." Jia Dongxu said, "I'm hungry, let's eat quickly!"

As if responding to him, Qin Huairu, who had been busy in the kitchen, immediately opened the door curtain and said, "Dongxu, I've prepared the meal! Go call the two kids back, and we can start eating!"

"Stop yelling!" Jia Dongxu waved his hand, "The two kids are having fun at the entrance of the alley!

Please save their food so we can eat first."

"Okay!" Qin Huairu said obediently, and started to get busy.

Before long, three bowls of cornmeal porridge, a basket of steamed buns, and a plate of pickles were placed on the table.

Jia Dongxu looked at the simple dinner and sighed in his heart, but after drinking a mouthful of porridge, he grabbed a steamed bun and bit it hard.

Jia Zhang, who was standing by, curled her lips in disdain and muttered, "It's the same thing every day. My mouth is almost numb..." At this point, she suddenly shuddered and asked Jia Dongxu, "Dongxu, how is the meat going? Did your master agree to help you get it?"

"No! My master said, 'He can't get any meat either.'" Jia Dongxu shook his head, "But, let's find Wang Ping in the front yard, he should be able to get some."

"Wang Ping in the front yard?"

"Yeah!" Jia Dongxu responded and then recounted what the three of them had said on the road.

These words made Jia Zhang so happy that she jumped for joy and immediately started to plan.

"That's great! After the meeting tonight, our family will no longer be short of food.

Your master gives you 25 kilograms every month, and the hospital donates another 30 kilograms, plus your monthly ration of 45 kilograms, Dongxu, that’s a total of 100 kilograms.

There are five of us in our family...haha...enough to eat, enough to eat.

Oh! ...By the way...there's also Wang Ping's place...

Dongxu, did your master tell us how much food Wang Ping can donate to us? "

"That's not what he said!" Jia Dongxu shook his head, "He just said, 'We'll talk about this at the meeting tonight.'

However, Wang Ping has 50 kilograms of food per month, which he cannot finish by himself. He should be able to donate 10 or 8 kilograms to us, right?"

"Ten pounds? Eight pounds?" Jia Zhang curled her lips, "He has more than 40 pounds left, and he can't finish it.

I think... we should ask him to give us 20 kilograms..."
