Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm happy. It's a happy event. A big happy event. Haha!"

"Come on, wife, fry me an egg. I want to have a drink at noon."

Yi Zhonghai watched Yi Bufan and the other two enter the yard, then turned around and went back to the house.

"Okay, drink less."

The aunt agreed immediately.

"happy event?"

"What happy event?"

"Hasn't he already been an eighth-level fitter?"

Sha Zhu was a little confused. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at the old lady's belly.

He felt that the only good thing for Yi Zhonghai and his wife was to have a baby.

However, this disease has been treated for many years, but there is no response.

Even now, this old lady's stomach is still not moving.

"What other happy event could it be? Are you getting married?"

Wang Laowu came over and said.

"Get married? What's the point of getting married? I don't even have a partner."

Sha Zhu glared at Wang Laowu. This kid lived in the front yard. He had two older brothers and two older sisters. He was the fifth child.

I have been beaten by Sha Zhu many times since I was a child.

"Just now I heard an uncle say he was going to be a grandfather, and an aunt was going to be a grandmother."

"You are an old man, but you don't have a son. It's up to you to get married and have a baby."

Wang Laowu was a little confused.

"What? An uncle and an aunt are the grandparents?"

Sha Zhu said this while looking in the direction of Yi Zhonghai's house. Is this what the happy event is about?

"Yeah, I heard some of it, but I didn't hear it clearly."

"It seems like we're talking about being grandparents."

Several neighbors nodded, mainly because Yi Zhonghai and the old lady rushed out too quickly and everyone wanted to watch the fun but didn't have time to react.

All he heard were some minor details, and he didn't even notice Xu Xiaoran talking to the two of them.

"Are you really introducing me to someone?"

"Don't worry, I'll treat you to a wedding banquet then."

Sha Zhu seemed to have thought of something and looked in the direction of Yi Bufan's house. Yi Zhonghai and his wife should have been looking in that direction just now.

"That's natural."

"You are so old now, it's time to get married."

"That's right. Look at Jia Dongxu. He's one year older than you, but he has a son and a daughter, and... ahem, it's bad luck. I'm going home to eat."

Sha Zhu responded casually and hurried to the backyard.

"Zhu Zi, wait a minute!"

As soon as Sha Zhu entered the backyard, he was stopped by Liu Haizhong.

"Second uncle, what's the matter?"

Sha Zhu is worried now and is a little anxious.

"I waited for Li Huaide to come to work this morning and went to his office to find him."

"He said you will discuss this matter with other leaders."

"After some discussion, we may let you continue to be the chef."

"But later I met Xu Damao and told him that this matter must have been perfunctory. He said I needed a gift and bought a pack of better cigarettes."

As soon as Liu Haizhong finished speaking, Sha Zhu started talking.

"Then give him a pack of cigarettes. I saw Xu Damao give Li Huaide a pack of Peony cigarettes before. Let's buy a pack of those too."

Sha Zhu also said at the time that Xu Damao was just flattering him, because he didn't keep the good cigarettes for himself but gave them to that idiot Li Huaide.

I didn't expect that I would need to do this now.

"Okay, then I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy a pack of cigarettes. I'll send it over this afternoon and ask again. You cook well, so I guess you'll be able to be the chef soon."

"When the time comes (I'll give you the cigarette coupons, you'll give me the money for the cigarettes)..."

Before Liu Haizhong finished speaking, Sha Zhu spoke again.

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Uncle. I'll go look for the old lady first."

Sha Zhu ran away after saying that.

Liu Haizhong opened his mouth and said, "I haven't said the rest of the sentence yet, you should at least consider giving me money for the cigarettes."

Originally, Liu Haizhong was thinking that since they were in the same group, he could just give out some cigarette coupons and let Sha Zhu pay for it himself.

However, before he could finish his next words, Shazhu ran away.

Actually, this matter cannot be blamed on Shazhu.

In the past, when Yi Zhonghai helped with something, he never needed Sha Zhu to pay for it.

Whatever he needed, Yi Zhonghai would just spend money to buy it.

Sha Zhu naturally developed this habit.

......

After Sha Zhu ran into the deaf old lady's house, he quickly closed the door and told her what had just happened.

"What did you say?"

"Yi Zhonghai and his wife are going to be grandparents?"

"How is that possible? Yi Zhonghai is a family extinct!"

The deaf old lady was also very surprised after hearing what Sha Zhu said.

"Yes, but others heard it, and judging from the looks of the uncle and aunt, they must have encountered some great joy."

"So I'm wondering, did Yi Zhonghai recognize Yi Bufan as his godson?"

When Sha Zhu said this, he felt very unhappy and a little sour.

"Yi Zhonghai recognized Yi Bufan as his godson?"

The deaf old lady repeated this sentence, but she felt uneasy in her heart. According to the series of events that have happened recently, it is not impossible.

"How about this, go and find out if Yi Bufan's wife is pregnant?"

"If that's true, it's no wonder Yi Zhonghai helped Yi Bufan and distanced himself from you and Jia Dongxu."

Although the deaf old lady was very reluctant to believe such a thing, the possibility was still quite high.

"All right!"

In his heart, Sha Zhu had already felt that this was 50% true.

"Xiao Ran, why are you here!"

"I'm on my way to your sister-in-law's house!"

Just at this moment, Sha Zhu heard Xu Damao's voice outside. After all, the two rooms were adjacent.

Sha Zhu and the deaf old lady also looked out through the glass. Xu Damao was holding a net bag with two bottles of wine in it, hanging on the handlebars of the bicycle.

The other hand held a tin box of biscuits, and there seemed to be a bag inside, which looked like it was filled with clothes.

"Did you quarrel with your sister-in-law again?"

Xu Xiaoran took a look at Xu Damao's things.

"You know, Bufan told you!"

Xu Damao opened the door that had just been closed and asked Xu Xiaoran to go in, but Xu Xiaoran ignored him.

"Why, you won't let Bufan speak?"

"You can quarrel, but how can you still fight?"

Xu Xiaoran was halfway through her speech when she was pulled into the house by Xu Damao. Can we talk about this outside? Isn't it embarrassing?

"Xu Damao beat Lou Xiao'e again?"

When Sha Zhu saw that there was nothing more to watch, he turned around and asked the deaf old lady.

"Well, it seems that the fight was pretty fierce, and there was a lot of noise."

"It was during the days when Jia Dongxu got into trouble."

"There was another time before. It seems that Xu Damao slept with another woman outside. When he came back, Lou Xiao'e found out and they had a quarrel."

"Two months ago..."

The deaf old lady smiled and started talking to Sha Zhu.

"Old lady, your hearing is pretty good. I usually can't hear you clearly when I talk to you, but you can hear people quarreling clearly."

Sha Zhu also knew this old lady, and knew what she should listen to and what she shouldn't listen to. Anyway, she could hear what she wanted to hear very clearly, and if she didn't want to hear it, she would just say "I'm deaf."

"Zhu Zi, what do you think of Lou Xiao'e?"

The deaf old lady looked at Sha Zhu with a smile.
