Siheyuan: A Family of Loyal and Brave People

"Old Yi, there's no need to do this."

Liu Haizhong originally wanted to expel the children himself, but Yi Zhonghai took the initiative and Liu Haizhong put on airs and pretended to persuade them.

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly, and instead of saying anything, he looked behind Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong followed the line of sight and saw that many guests in the venue were looking over here after hearing the noise.

Only then did Liu Haizhong understand why Yi Zhonghai suddenly had an attack.

With so many outsiders watching, Yan Jiecheng felt that their behavior had brought shame to the entire courtyard.

As the people in charge of the courtyard, they will become a laughing stock and be looked down upon.

"These little bastards, how did Yan Bugui teach his children!"

Liu Haizhong's expression changed immediately, and he gritted his teeth and scolded in a low voice.

There are quite a few cadres among the guests today. If Liu Haizhong embarrasses himself in front of them, it will be difficult for him to make progress in the future.

When he thought about how his future career would be affected, Liu Haizhong wanted to run over and beat up Yan Jiefang and the others.

"Okay, let's continue eating."

Yi Zhonghai took a long breath and quickly calmed down.

The die is cast and there is no point in saying more. The best way to deal with it now is to pretend nothing happened, try to keep things peaceful and reduce the impact.

If we continue to make a fuss, it will only be more embarrassing once things get out of hand.

Liu Haizhong was indignant but had to sit back in his seat and concentrate on eating, as if trying to avoid the strange looks from the guests.

Although what Yan Jiefang and his men did was disgusting, this little episode did not have much impact on the full moon banquet.

Because the guests' attention was mainly focused on He Feng.

The banquet prepared by He Yuzhu was sumptuous and delicious. The guests were very satisfied with the meal and naturally expressed their gratitude in return.

Little He Feng is almost praised to bits.

He Yuzhu is a person who cares a lot about his reputation. Now that he is a father, he cares about his son the most.

Hearing so many blessings from the guests, he was overjoyed and toasted to everyone frequently.

Even though he could drink quite a bit, he was still a little shaky after a few rounds, obviously tipsy.

Just when the atmosphere of the full moon banquet was getting lively, the deaf old lady who was sitting at the same table with Yi Zhonghai suddenly stood up and walked towards He Yuzhu and his wife with a cane.

"Old lady, what are you doing?"

Yan Jiecheng and the others had just caused some trouble, and Yi Zhonghai was feeling annoyed. Seeing the deaf old lady's behavior, he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

"Go over and say a few words to Zhuzi."

The deaf old lady said this and continued forward without looking back.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to ask more questions, but because of the deaf old lady's seniority, he didn't say anything more.

A new child was born in the orphanage. The deaf old lady, as the oldest person in the orphanage, went over to say a few words of greeting. Who could find any fault with her?

"Pillar, pillar..."

An old voice came into his ears. He Yuzhu staggered and looked around. He turned around a few times before noticing the old woman not far away.

"Old lady, do you like today's dishes?"

He Yuzhu calmed himself down and asked with a smile.

Ever since he saw the deaf old lady's true face, He Yuzhu no longer had any respect for her.

But today is a happy day with many guests gathered, so He Yuzhu can't ignore them.

“It suits your taste, very much so.

You are the best cook in our hospital. If the dishes you cook are not to our taste, there will be no one else in the city."

The deaf old lady came up and started flattering him.

"Then old lady, please go back and continue eating.

Otherwise the food will get cold and won’t taste good.”

The deaf old lady was about to say something else when someone next to her suddenly interrupted.

The deaf old lady showed a trace of annoyance on her face. She turned around and saw Cheng Hao looking at her with a smile, holding a wine glass.

He Yuzhu is not the only one who sees the inner self of the deaf old lady. Cheng Hao, who works in the street office, has a deeper understanding of her.

This old lady, who claimed to have woven straw sandals for revolutionary martyrs, was actually much uglier than she appeared.

You can tell something from her hands, which are free of calluses.

In the old days, making a living was difficult. Unless one was born into a wealthy family, the common people had to work all day and live a hard life.

The deaf old lady could barely read or write, and her speech and manners were not very good. It was obvious that she was not from a wealthy family.

Among the lower class, the only ways to make a living without working too hard are those that are not allowed to be seen in the open.

The deaf old lady used to be a concubine of a wealthy family and was placed in the courtyard of No. 95 Luoguxiang.

Later, as times changed, the courtyard house fell into the hands of a steel rolling mill, and the deaf old lady barely managed to keep one room in it to live.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, when the government was dealing with historical issues, it took pity on her because she was old and had no one to rely on, so it included her in the five-guarantee household.

All in all, she is just an old woman who is not presentable.

In the past, the neighbors in the courtyard did not know the details of the deaf old lady. In addition, Yi Zhonghai strongly promoted the archway of respecting the elderly for the sake of elderly care and erected her as a model, which gradually led to her becoming a respected ancestor in the courtyard.

But now that Yi Zhonghai has a son, he no longer has to worry about his retirement, so there is no way he can allow the deaf old lady to continue to put on airs.

The deaf old lady was gradually ignored by her neighbors, intentionally or unintentionally, and became increasingly marginalized in the community.

She came here suddenly today, and I guess she didn't have any good intentions.

That's why Cheng Hao stepped forward to help He Yuzhu deal with this troublesome matter.

"Director Cheng, this is not the neighborhood office. Besides, today is Zhuzi's big day. Can't you let me have a few words with him?"

The deaf old lady looked at Cheng Hao who showed up out of nowhere, gritting her teeth and feeling quite resentful.

Cheng Hao's street office usually doesn't take the time to visit the grassroots to comfort these lonely elderly people, distribute some supplies, and maintain good relations with the masses.

Instead, he went against her in every way, which was really hateful.

"Old lady, since you call Brother Hao Director, then of course he has to act like a director, right?"

He Yuzhu was a little drunk, but not stupid.

He can clearly tell who is reliable and who is not.

The deaf old lady didn't pay attention to the two people's bullying, but just said earnestly: "Zhu Zi, I watched you grow up.

Now that you have grown up and have children, I, your old woman, am really happy for you.

It’s just that we are not destined to be together, so we can’t be grandparents and grandchildren.

I am the oldest in the hospital, can I be the grandmother of this child?"

The protagonist of today's banquet is He Feng, and the deaf old lady came just for him.

The deaf old lady wanted to take advantage of He Yuzhu's confusion to adopt He Feng as her godson.

In this way, based on this relationship, He Yuzhu became her godson.

When the deaf old lady is old and frail, she will have someone to rely on and will not be left unattended.

“Old lady, I think you are confused.

He Feng’s grandfather is Uncle He, and Uncle He is your junior.

Wouldn't it mess up the generations if we do as you said?

We advocate respecting the old and loving the young, but the premise is to ensure that the elders and the young are in order.

The seniority cannot be messed up."

Cheng Hao advised seriously.

He knew that the deaf old lady had bad intentions from the beginning, and she was very brave to set her sights on He Feng.

“That’s right, good thing.

The seniority cannot be messed up.

Besides, my mother passed away early, and this child’s grandmother passed away long ago.

How can you be his grandmother when you are still alive and well? "

He Yuzhu immediately agreed.
