Siheyuan: From the time I became a fool

"You two little bastards, stop talking nonsense and eat quickly. After you finish eating, go to bed quickly. If you embarrass me, I will beat you to death.

Do you know how hard it was for me to do this? Damn, I almost lost half my life!"

Well, the voice of Liu Hai scolding his son can be heard in the front yard.

There were a few households who were eager to try and hold their bowls to beg for money, but they shrank their necks and went back.

"Dad, you're right. It's not easy for you. Without you, how could we eat such delicious meat and vegetables, and how could we be arranged to work?"

"Dad, I know you're good to us. You have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. You beat us for our own good."

These two guys are pretty good. They are the ones who depend on milk. Anyway, their father got some meat. Even with Sha Zhu's cooking skills, there was still some weird smell that couldn't be covered up.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s meat and tastes good, the key is that I’m really greedy, and life is really tiring, and I can’t stand it without oil and water.

As for what I said against my heart? I don't care at all. What goes into my mouth is meat, and what goes into my throat is my body. It doesn't matter if I don't get beaten.

"Don't talk nonsense to me, I don't want to listen to it, just work hard, do you hear me?

Just today, on my way back, a few people came to steal my business. They cried poor to me and wanted to share a piece of my intestines with me, but I scolded them and they ran away.

Damn, I didn’t have a sledgehammer at that time, otherwise I would have beaten them to death.

What is this day and age like? The mission of this food is to kill me, I will kill them if they don’t.”

The second uncle ate with his sons while cursing at them. His two sons nodded repeatedly, obviously they were used to being scolded and beaten.

Especially Liu Guangfu, he was twitching his neck as if nothing had happened, but his movement of chewing the intestines was not slow at all.

Hearing this, the old man in the front yard couldn't help but shrink his neck, and the bottle of water mixed with alcohol in his hand swayed.

He originally wanted to take advantage of Liu Haizhong.

Everyone is short of money, and the third uncle's family is even more so. At least on the surface, his family seems to be the most needy and the most difficult.

"Hey! Who are you, kid? Where are you from? Go to the shelter! Sigh, there are more and more migrant workers these days!"

At this moment, a boy of about seven or eight years old, wearing tattered clothes and a smelly jacket, was about to rush into the courtyard, but was stopped by the third uncle.

"I...someone brought me here...I will live here from now on, in the middle courtyard."

The boy stammered, and his accent was obviously from Sichuan.

"Uncle! This is the child of my distant relative. He will live with me from now on. Little Second Son, come quickly and follow dad."

Yi Zhonghai's voice and people arrived immediately

"Yi Zhonghai? You adopted a son, a son this old?"

The third uncle looked like he had seen a ghost? Was it Yi Zhonghai who was possessed by a ghost? How could he possibly adopt such a grown-up son?

Isn't this old bastard the smartest? How could he run such a losing business?

If his standards for adopting a child were so low, wouldn't he have adopted one long ago?

"So what? I'll adopt him! Don't you see what time it is now? The child's parents are dead, and many of his family members have died too. There aren't even any mice left over there.

You are a teacher, don't you know what the victims of the famine will encounter? Can't I be soft-hearted?

"Waiter, come quickly... follow me!"

Yi Zhonghai glared at the third uncle unhappily and took the boy inside.

He happened to come face to face with He Yuzhu, but He Yuzhu didn't even look at him, just got on his bike and left.

He did make an appointment with Liu Weiquan...

It's a good life to be with him. You can eat all-natural and unpolluted delicacies from land and sea, and bring back good things.

and……

Anyway, the benefits are huge

…………

"Second son! Daddy has to go to the hospital to see your mom soon. You stay here first. We have completed the adoption procedures. Your quota has also arrived here.

Don't worry, we two old people will have enough to eat, so you won't go hungry. Can you cook?"

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai opened the door and let the boy in. He asked him why he had scolded Qin Huairu so harshly before.

That’s because in addition to coming back to do the laundry, Yi Zhonghai also hides all the valuables in the house.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Dad, I can do anything!"

The boy (now called Yi Xiaoer) expressed it by beating his chest and stamping his feet.

"Then watch me. I'll teach you again how to make the cornmeal. We have some vegetables here. Chop them up."

"Dad, I know how to do all this. We all do this in the countryside... We don't eat rice for a long time..."

This kid is really smart, otherwise Yi Zhonghai wouldn't have taken a fancy to him. He said he was adopting a son, but in fact he was just looking for a nanny.

Moreover, this kid was raised by someone who was paid for his services, but that person could not show up in public.

"That's fine. By the way, here are two cents worth of food coupons for half a pound. Keep them in your hands as much as possible and save them for emergencies.

What you are wearing..." Yi Zhonghai frowned and looked at the waiter. He felt embarrassed by the way he was dressed.

"Well, you wear mine first...

I'll find someone to do two more alterations for you."

"Dad, no need. I have clothes for this bundle of mine. I can just wash them. You can feed me. I am already very grateful for adopting me! I will repay you by being filial to you for the rest of my life."

Yi Xiaoer said this very sensibly and sincerely, with tears in his eyes. He thought he would starve to death like those people.

But his father came down from the sky and saved him. Although he also felt that his father might have other thoughts, he didn't care. As long as he could have food to eat and stay alive, anything was fine.

As a half-grown boy among the disaster victims, he was not as good as the girls. Older girls were taken home as wives. Some people also took younger girls home, saying that they ate less and might be kept as wives or exchanged for betrothal gifts when they grew up.

No one wants a kid of his age, saying that he is a wolf cub and cannot be tamed.

But he wanted to say that whether the person is familiar or not depends on the person. Not everyone in the world is ungrateful.

But he thought it was useless, no one gave him a chance.

He felt like he was starving to death, and it was Yi Zhonghai who came and gave him food and drink, and then said he wanted to adopt him as his son.

All he was asked to do was help with cooking, cleaning the house, doing the laundry, and taking care of his younger siblings in the future.

He doesn't care, he can do anything. As long as he can survive, he is willing to do anything. And compared with the countryside, this little work is really nothing, it's like staying idle.

"Don't say those empty words. There's no point in saying those empty words. I'll arrange for you to go to school in a couple of days.

When you come home from school, you can cook, clean the house, and help us wash clothes. If you have extra time to paste paper boxes or something, I will teach you locksmithing when you are a few years older. "

Yi Zhonghai didn't believe in oaths and promises, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up being abandoned by everyone. He was too suspicious and didn't trust anyone, and he couldn't help but scheme against others.

"Didn't you say you had clothes? Give me some and I'll have them do the same!"

"Hey! Dad, you are so nice to me."

Don't think that Yi Zhonghai is that good. He took out two very old work clothes and two pairs of pants from the old work clothes and left.

He didn't go to the third aunt that others went to find, but just gave her a piece of sweet potato.

When the three aunts heard his intention, they accepted the call honestly.

"Yi Zhonghai, this is rare, you also adopted a child?

Even though you are so stingy and only gave me this piece of sweet potato, I promise to do this job well for you.

We will help take care of the kid when you are not at home. Can you help with the cooking?"

"No, no, that guy can do anything. I'm going to the hospital to take care of my wife. Thank you!"

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and walked out, saying, "If my family asks your family to help with cooking, will that little food be enough for you to share?"

Han Ruoshui couldn't help but feel curious when she heard the interaction between the two.

However, Han Ruoshui knew how the feud between her husband and Yi Zhonghai came about, so she naturally would not go up to inquire.

She only saw Yi Zhonghai walking away in a hurry, and it seemed that he gave the new boy half a pound of corn flour. He also gave a lot of instructions, anyway, he told him to be frugal and how difficult it was for him, and he didn't mention gratitude in every sentence, but he wanted the boy to be grateful in every sentence.

She saw that the boy had done a thorough cleaning of the house, and he washed the dirty clothes and sheets and hung them up to dry.

This guy seems to be quite skillful in cooking, and the vegetable dumplings he made are quite round. Although he is very thin, he is quite hygienic.

I fetched a bucket of cold water and washed myself in the house, then changed into clean clothes.

Then I continued to wash it and hung it up. It was too dirty when I came here, probably because there was no place to clean it while fleeing from the famine.

"Ruoshui, I really can't take it any longer. It turns out that serving a living dead person is so tiring."

Liu Lan's sudden arrival made Han Ruoshui slightly stunned.

"Cousin, come in quickly, what's wrong?"

"Isn't there a rotten spot on Duoduo's body? Lao Li scolded me and said I didn't take good care of him.

You said my whole family, my mother-in-law is also tired, she is so old. "

Liu Lan felt so aggrieved that she sat down on the chair and started crying.

"Ah! This..."
