Chapter 29 The deaf old lady complains to Yi Zhonghai

People in the courtyard returned one after another, and as soon as they stepped into the courtyard, they were attracted by an enticing fragrance.

The familiar smell told them that it was the aroma of fried cabbage.

But it’s more than that - because this dish was made by He Yushui, it has such a fragrant aroma.

Everyone returned home hungry, and the smell of the mouth-watering food was simply unbearable.

They all asked the women at home if dinner was ready, as they would not be able to eat if they didn't.

Yi Zhonghai was no exception. When he walked into the house, he saw a depressed old lady at a glance.

He couldn't help but wonder if something had happened at home.

So he walked up to her quickly and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you worried about something?"

When the aunt saw her husband coming back, she felt like she had found someone to talk to.

She said with a feeling of grievance: "The old lady refused to eat lunch today, insisting that my cooking was not good, and kept saying that the food cooked by He Yushui was more fragrant and delicious! But she refused to cook for her and directly rejected it in front of her."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai suddenly realized what was going on.

He thought for a moment and consoled her, "Well, I see. Why don't you bring some dinner to the old lady now? I guess she didn't have lunch, so she must be very hungry now."

However, the lady shook her head and said she didn't want to go. She said, "I'd rather not go. The old lady might still be sulking."

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai nodded helplessly and agreed: "Okay, then I'll go. You eat first, no need to wait for me."

After saying that, he picked up a bowl of vegetables and a multi-grain steamed bun and walked towards the deaf old lady's house.

"Old lady, what's wrong with you? How can you not eat? Your body won't be able to take it." Yi Zhonghai said to her as he entered the old lady's room.

"Humph! I just want to eat the food cooked by He Yushui, but that damn girl actually dared to refuse me! Tell me, what should I do about this matter?"

"Oh, don't be so anxious and angry, just eat your meal first. Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll hold a meeting and give her a good scolding."

"Yeah. I'm already so old, but she's so ignorant and doesn't know how to talk properly. It's really outrageous!"

"Okay, I'll go and help you get rid of this anger right away, what do you think?"

"Haha, great, great! Let's go now."

After hearing this, the deaf old lady began to enjoy her dinner happily.

After all, I didn’t eat anything at noon, and my stomach is really rumbling now.

Yi Zhonghai then turned around and left, walking straight towards the second uncle's house.

As soon as he reached the door, he was bumped into by Liu Haizhong: "Hey, Lao Yi, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly come to my place?"

"Old Liu, something happened in our yard, and we need to discuss it together."

Yi Zhonghai knew very well that Liu Haizhong didn't have much ability.

However, Liu Haizhong has a special liking for being an official. He is obsessed with the feeling of being in control of everything and managing affairs.

He was eager to intervene in matters both big and small.

Therefore, he was keen to get involved in all the big and small things in the yard.

Not only that, he also often listened to radio programs, trying to learn some of the qualities and demeanor that a leader should possess.

Unfortunately, due to his low education and limited abilities, even as a seventh-level blacksmith, he still finds it difficult to perform certain responsibilities that a leader needs to undertake.

Whenever Yi Zhonghai talked about these things, Liu Haizhong was always very interested and expressed his willingness to participate.

"Today the old lady went to visit Sha Zhu. After chatting about some sentimental topics, she turned around and went to look for Yu Shui."

"I was thinking of asking Yushui to bring back some food. After all, I'm getting older and I always want to eat something different."

"You also know Yu Shui's cooking skills. It's quite outstanding! We all like it very much."

"The old lady is probably tired of my wife's cooking. She used to like Sha Zhu's cooking. Now she probably misses Yu Shui and asks her to cook a meal or bring some back from the cafeteria."

"Who could have expected that Yu Shui would refuse outright and drive the old lady away without any courtesy, making her so angry that she didn't even get to eat lunch."

"This is wrong and unforgivable. After all, respecting the elderly and loving the young is the tradition of our hospital. If we don't suppress them at this time, it will not be good for us when we are old."

"Old Liu, don't forget that you have two kids at home! If you let them learn this habit, you will have a hard time when you are old!"

Liu Haizhong pondered these words carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more they made sense to him.

So he changed his original idea and nodded to show his agreement with the conditions proposed by Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Yi, I understand what you mean. You just want to hold a meeting of the whole institute."

"Okay, I support you!"

After getting Liu Haizhong's response, Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's settled then."

Immediately afterwards, Yi Zhonghai turned and left, walking straight towards the front yard.

He came to the door of his third uncle Yan Bugui and knocked.

"Old Yan, are you busy?"

When Yan Bugui heard the voice, he opened the door and saw that it was Yi Zhonghai standing outside the door, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.

I wondered what could possibly happen to him at this time?

"Well, I was just eating. What's the matter? Is there something you want to talk to me about?" Yan Bugui asked vaguely while chewing the food.

"It's nothing important. We're planning to hold a general meeting of the entire courtyard later. After you finish your meal, please help notify the residents in the front yard."

Yi Zhonghai explained his purpose simply and clearly.

After hearing this, Yan Bugui didn't understand what was going on and wanted to hold a meeting.

But it doesn’t matter. He can’t say anything anyway, so it doesn’t matter to him much.

He quickly responded, "Okay, got it. I'll go inform the people in the front yard after I finish my meal." After that, he continued to enjoy his dinner.

"Okay, then you eat first, I'll go back and eat too."

The third uncle watched him leave, and then he treated everyone well.

"Hurry up and eat. There will be fun tonight. I don't know what it is, but it will definitely be fun."

Everyone nodded and ate faster.

Yi Zhonghai dragged his tired body slowly into the house and sat down on the dining chair to enjoy dinner.

Seeing him eating silently, an old lady standing by couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that what happened at noon hasn't been forgotten yet?

So, she asked carefully, "Old Yi, is the old lady mumbling something again?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said comfortingly: "It's okay, it has nothing to do with you, she is just a little dissatisfied with the rain."

After hearing this, the aunt's anxious heart was finally put at ease.

However, He Yushui was completely unaware of this.

At this moment, she was immersed in the satisfaction brought by the delicious food, and was completely unaware of the trouble that was about to befall her.

She and her brother sat at the dining table, enjoying a simple and warm dinner.

Yu Shui personally cooked a plate of delicious spicy white rice. In front of each person was a steaming white flour bun and a bowl of fragrant egg soup.

Although the dishes were not rich, they were quite good for this family and everyone enjoyed them with gusto.

After all, in this era, you can’t eat white flour buns and egg soup whenever you want, so it’s already very good.
