Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

At the Jia family, Jia Zhang saw Jia Dongxu coming back and went up to him and asked, "How is it? Did you tell your master about the house? That dead family made meat for lunch and gave it to Old Yan and your master's family. It's obvious that they look down on my Jia family."

As soon as Jia Dongxu got home, he heard a burst of nagging: "I'm at work this afternoon. I mentioned it at noon, but the master didn't say anything. I'll go ask him after dinner."

"But you have to remember, if you can borrow it, then borrow it. If you can't, forget it. We still have to live in this courtyard. Don't let it get to the point where we can't even be ordinary neighbors."

After saying that, Jia Dongxu picked up the steamed bread and started eating. Jia Dongxu was still sensible, but he had no choice when he met his unreasonable mother.

After dinner, Jia Dongxu went to Yi Zhonghai's house, knocked on the door and called "Master", then pushed the door open and went in. When he entered the room, he saw the deaf old lady was also there, with a few dishes on the table. Yi Zhonghai saw Jia Dongxu coming and said, "Dongxu, have you eaten yet? Let's eat together."

Jia Dongxu looked at the braised pork and scrambled eggs on the table, swallowed his saliva and said, "Master, I ate it. I didn't know the old lady was eating at your place. I thought you had finished eating."

"It's not that Shazhu brought some meat to the old lady at noon. The old lady had already eaten at noon, so she ate it in the evening."

"Oh, Master, then you guys eat first, I'll come back later."

"Dongxu, if you have something to say, just tell me. The old lady is not an outsider." Yi Zhonghai stopped him.

Jia Dongxu looked at the deaf old lady and said, "I'm almost twenty now, and my mother has been wanting me to go see a date first. You know the situation at home, we only have one room. Now that Mr. He has passed away, Sha Zhu's children live together. I want to see if they can lend me the ear room in his house, and then let my mother move in, so that the blind date will look better."

Jia Dongxu said a lot of things, and Yi Zhonghai was thinking in his heart that Yan Fugui also wanted to borrow the house, and now the Jia family has also jumped out. An aunt told Yi Zhonghai about Sha Zhu going to Baocheng as soon as he got off work. Although he didn't see He Daqing, the contact with Sha Zhu's master was still going on. Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to wait until He Yuzhu was at his wit's end and came to him for help before he showed up, but he didn't know how long he would have to wait.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu again and said, "It would be good to let them take the lead. As for who can borrow the house, it depends on your abilities. Anyway, I haven't explicitly promised that Yan Fugui will be able to borrow it."

"Dongxu, you're right. Your house is indeed a bit small. So, after dinner, I'll go to Shazhu's house and mention it to him first. What do you think?"

"Thank you, Master. Don't worry. You can tell Sha Zhu that it is just a loan. If the He family has any problems in the future, just come to me." Jia Dongxu said, patting his chest.

Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, then you go back first, I'll go ask you later and then find you."

Yi Zhonghai now feels that the plan is a little off. He can't figure out the He family's connections, and Master Sha Zhu is still in contact, so he feels a little unsure.

Yi Zhonghai leaned forward and said, "Old lady, do you think this is okay? I feel a little unsure. Is it too urgent to ask for a house now?"

The deaf old lady sat there calmly, eating a piece of braised pork first, sipping it and swallowing it down: "Good, melts in your mouth, fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, Sha Zhuzi's cooking skills are almost as good as his father's."

When Yi Zhonghai saw that the deaf old lady was avoiding the question, he knew that the old lady didn't want to care about it, so he picked up the steamed bun and started eating.

After the meal, Yi Zhonghai asked an old lady to send the deaf old lady back home. After the old lady came back, she said, "Old Yi, Zhuzi is a good kid. He cooked meat today and even sent it to us."

"That's true, but it's not enough. Did you see what the old lady meant? Pretend not to hear. There has to be something that's difficult to get through before we can help."

Yi Zhonghai lit a cigarette and took a puff. "I have to make sure Sha Zhu breaks off relations with his master first, so that I can operate from here. When we get into the steel mill, I've already informed Director Wang of the logistics department. It will be up to me to decide whether he will be promoted or not."

When the aunt heard what Yi Zhonghai said, she felt bitter. She thought, "If it weren't for my poor health and inability to have children, there wouldn't be any need for Old Yi to scheme against me." So she stopped talking.

The auntie cleared the dishes and went to wash them. Yi Zhonghai finished smoking a cigarette, stood up, stamped his feet, opened the door and walked out. His first stop was the deaf old lady's house. Yi Zhonghai pushed the door open and went in, "Old lady, you are still awake, right?"

"Zhonghai, is there something wrong?"

Yi Zhonghai muttered in his heart, you don’t know whether there is something wrong or not. If it weren’t for you wanting to eat better, I wouldn’t bother to care about that idiot Zhuzi.

She said, "Old lady, what do you think of what Dongxu said today? Shazhu is still in contact with his master. I heard from Guilan that he will go to work tomorrow. He will be leaving early and coming back late every day. It will be difficult to find Shazhu."

When the deaf old lady heard this, she thought, "This is for me. If I can't find anyone, I will have no good food to eat in the future."

Then he said, "Zhong Hai, you need to go talk to Sha Zhu alone and say more bad things about He Daqing. It's a good thing that he didn't find He Daqing when he went to Baocheng this time. He Daqing asked you to take care of him. You need to pay attention and arrange the work at the steel mill. Sha Zhu will definitely be alienated from his master."

"But there is no chance now. Jiang Feng from Shazhu's family is always at home. There is no chance to talk alone."

The deaf old lady rolled her eyes and said, "Well, didn't Sha Zhu bring the meat today? Go down and call him and tell him that I miss him and want to thank him in person for remembering me when he cooked the meat."

Yi Zhonghai blushed when he heard this and stammered, "No, today's meat was given to Guilan by Shazhu at noon. Guilan saved it and waited until we came back to eat it together in the evening."

When the deaf old lady heard this, she thought to herself, MMP, this is not the way to offer flowers to Buddha. If you ask me to eat something someone gave me, you shouldn't say that it's a gift for me, okay?

"Then go and call in Guilan's name and ask Guilan to come here as well, and tell her that you and Guilan want to thank him." The old lady's eyes rolled and she had another idea.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai had no other choice. Having an excuse was better than having no excuse at all. He got up and went back to the house. He said something to the aunt, asking her to wait at the old lady's place, then turned around and walked towards He Yuzhu's house.

When he got to the door and pushed it, it wouldn't move. He used some force but still couldn't move it. Yi Zhonghai wondered why he closed the door so early and shouted, "Shazhu, Shazhu, I'm your uncle, open the door."

The silly man in the room replied, "Wait a minute."

Then he heard footsteps in the house, and Sha Zhu opened the door: "Uncle, what's up?"

"I can't come to see you if I have nothing to do. Why do you bolt the door so early?"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he got angry and said, "Why do you care what I do in the house? I can't even close the door in my house."

After being hit by Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai felt the blood rushing up. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Jiang Feng sitting in the room looking at him. It was like a basin of cold water was poured over his head. Then he remembered the purpose of tonight.

He changed his tone and said, "Silly Zhu, why are you talking to an old man like this? The old man is concerned about you and is afraid that something might happen to you in the house."

When Sha Zhu heard this, his brain was a little confused. At this time, Jiang Feng came over and said in time: "Uncle, what do you want to see Brother Zhuzi?"

As soon as Yi Zhonghai saw Jiang Feng coming over, he said, "Shazhu, didn't you bring a bowl of meat today? I ate it with your aunt and the deaf old lady tonight. The old lady said that your cooking skills are getting better and better. She also heard that you are back and wanted to see you. She asked me to call you over."

When Yi Zhonghai arrived here, he changed his words again and praised Sha Zhu. When He Yuzhu heard it, he smiled so much that his mouth was crooked. He agreed repeatedly and turned to say something to Jiang Feng and He Yushui. Jiang Feng saw it and winked at He Yuzhu. Yi Zhonghai was standing outside the door and saw it clearly, but didn't say anything.

He Yuzhu nodded and followed Yi Zhonghai to the backyard. As soon as he entered the door, the deaf old lady shouted, "Oh, my silly Zhu, are you tired after running so far? When you come back, I want you to remember me and bring me some meat."

The deaf old lady is very cunning. She can't save face by squeezing Shazhu. She can't say that the food is not for her but for an old lady.

Indeed, after hearing this, Sha Zhu glanced at Auntie. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he nodded and said, "I have some at home. I thought of you, old lady, so I gave you a little. It's nothing."

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that this idiot wouldn't understand and would directly talk back, and it would be hard to say what would happen next.

"Shazhu, you did the right thing and deserve praise. Respecting the old and loving the young is a Chinese tradition, and it is also a tradition of our courtyard. The old lady has been here before you were born. She is the ancestor of our courtyard. If you have anything delicious to eat or drink, give some to the old lady to satisfy her cravings."

"Oh." Sha Zhu agreed.

Several people were overjoyed, thinking that this silly Zhuzi was so easy to control. Yi Zhonghai continued, "Shazhu, how was your trip to Baocheng this time? I heard from your aunt that you are going to work at Fengze Garden."

"I was driven back by the White Widow before I could see anyone. Yu Shui cried for a long time. I had asked for three days off, but I couldn't find anyone, so I came back yesterday."

"What a sin! Such a wonderful pair of children, but He Daqing is such a bad guy. He just says he doesn't want them." said the deaf old lady.

Yi Zhonghai also continued, "Old lady, don't be angry. It's not good for your health to get angry. He Daqing may also have his difficulties. Sha Zhu, you are so old now, you should be considerate of your father."

The two of them sang the same tune, saying good and bad things, just to provoke Sha Zhu's anger.

"What kind of sympathy do you think? What problem did he have? He was just bewitched by the widow. He Daqing was at home when we went there. The white widow said something and he didn't even dare to fart. He didn't even say he came to see the rain. I don't care. I have food and drink working in the store. The rain is just so light. And Xiaofeng is at home. I don't know what to do in the future." He Yuzhu took the opportunity to speak beyond his level and only talked about the first half of the time when he went to find He Daqing.
