Rebirth 1962: The Beginning of the Angry Fan Qin Huairu

He Yuzhu was also puzzled. Could it be that Yi Zhonghai was hit by the demotion and now he has gone crazy?

Because if this had happened in the past, even if they wanted to help the Jia family, they would have to wait for him to pay first, and then Yi Zhonghai would give some money as a token of his appreciation.

But today he just gave one person a month's food ration. This was too generous. What he couldn't understand the most was that Yi Zhonghai actually said such words. How could this be the style of a moral emperor?

At this time, at Yi Zhonghai's house, Li Qinglian asked a little aggrievedly: "Boss, you have sent away half a month's worth of food for us. What are we going to eat next?"

"Ah, I can't help it. Oh, by the way, use the remaining flour to make some noodles for the old lady, and put that little piece of bacon in it!"

"What? You're not going to live anymore? That's all the food left at home!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed helplessly and had to tell Li Qinglian about his demotion. This made Li Qinglian even more anxious.

"Then why did you give away all the food? What will our family eat in the future?"

"You are so confused. I am doing this for our future. Besides, what does this little money mean? Do you really want no one to take care of you when you are old?"

Li Qinglian felt even more wronged. "But what does your sending of food have to do with our retirement?"

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to tell the deaf old lady part of his plan. After all, Li Qinglian was also an important part of the plan, so there were some things he really had to let her know.

"If I want to save the pillar, I have to rebuild my image so that the neighbors in the yard can speak up for me again."

"As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. If we want to convince others, we have to come up with some convincing methods."

"As long as I can keep my position as the eldest uncle, I will have a say in the hospital, and everything I do will be easier."

"As for Zhuzi, I think the old lady is right. We still have a lot of time and we can't rush for success. As long as he has a position in the hospital, he may ask me for help one day!"

Li Qinglian looked at the complacent Yi Zhonghai and asked in confusion, "But your salary is only 31 yuan after your demotion. If you help the Jia family, what will our family do? Don't forget that we still owe the outside world 5 yuan!"

After being reminded by Li Qinglian, Yi Zhonghai became a little anxious, especially when he remembered that all the money in his family had been extorted by He Yuzhu, his heart ached.

But the problems we are facing now cannot be ignored. Just as the old lady said, the closer it gets to this time, the more calm we should be.

So Yi Zhonghai quickly got up and closed the door. "Qinglian, go get me the kitchen knife!"

"Old man, has it really come to this?"

"Take one first. I'll go change it tonight. Then I'll pay you back first and then proceed with the next plan."

Li Qinglian knew what Yi Zhonghai had decided, and even she couldn't persuade him to change his mind. She had no choice but to get a kitchen knife. Yi Zhonghai determined the position, and then he used the kitchen knife to carefully knock open a floor tile.

There was an oil paper package under the floor tile. When Yi Zhonghai opened it, he found a big yellow croaker and five small yellow croakers inside.

(Note: In the Republic of China, the weight of large yellow croaker was 312.5g, and the weight of small yellow croaker was 31g. According to inquiries, the price during this period was 3-3.5 yuan/g)

"Boss, do you really want it?"

"Keep your voice down. This thing is free anyway. If you don't use it now, are you going to keep it for reproduction?"

Li Qinglian quickly swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth, but when she thought about it, it made sense. When she first got these things, she was afraid of being discovered and taken for shooting.

But now it’s different. Anyway, they have less than 50 yuan left in the house. Instead of keeping the money to buy food and drink, it would be better to exchange it for some money for emergencies.

But Yi Zhonghai weighed the things in his hand. "Old lady, keep this big piece and use these small pieces first!"

"Why don't we just get rid of them all? I always feel like keeping these things at home is a nuisance."

"What do you know? The price of this thing has doubled in the past few years. It's enough to replace three of them first, and keep the rest here in case of emergency!"

Li Qinglian had no choice but to nod with a nervous look on her face. After Yi Zhonghai restored the floor tiles, what happened that night suddenly emerged in his mind.

He had just come out of the pub when he met a man with a gun. Before he could react, the man turned around and ran into the darkness.

But when he was running, a few pieces of things happened to fall down. Yi Zhonghai saw that they were yellow croakers. He picked them up out of greed and hid in the garbage pile on the side of the road.

Early the next morning, news spread in the city that a spy had been killed. Yi Zhonghai finally breathed a sigh of relief. But at that time, this thing was a hot potato to him, so Yi Zhonghai had to hide the thing at home.

As a result, they were left there for more than ten years. If so many things hadn't happened suddenly at home, he would have almost forgotten that these things existed at home.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai sighed again.

"what happened?"

"I was just thinking, if I hadn't changed this thing before, I guess there wouldn't have been so much trouble!"

……

That night, Yi Zhonghai disguised himself and deliberately waited until 4 a.m. before going out. However, this time he changed the place. Although the price was a bit lower, it could guarantee absolute safety.

All of a sudden he had almost three hundred yuan in his hand, and Yi Zhonghai was not stingy this time, but bought three kilograms of eggs and five kilograms of pork from the black market.

Passing by a stall selling grain, Yi Zhonghai thought about it and decided to buy 20 kilograms of corn flour and 15 kilograms of white flour.

Now he has come to terms with it. Instead of saving money and not knowing where to spend it, it is better to eat good food to supplement nutrition.

And all these things only cost him less than ten yuan. Yi Zhonghai thought about it and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. These seven thousand yuan were enough to buy anything.

But now he has money and food, and the next step is to start rebuilding his image.

The plan he and the deaf old lady had was to make those people forget about the past as quickly as possible, and the fastest way to do that was to make them feel that it was beneficial to follow them.

Gate of Siheyuan

When Yi Zhonghai came back, it was already dawn. The number one abacus expert in the courtyard was already standing at the door. Of course, the number two abacus expert, Zhao Zhanfu, in the front yard, was also looking towards the gate intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hey, Lao Yi, what are you holding?"

Yi Zhonghai dodged Yan Bugui's claws by leaning sideways. "Nothing, the old lady wanted to eat eggs, so I went to buy some!"

"That's not right. How can you buy so many eggs?" Zhao Zhanfu came over and asked.

"Hey, have you all forgotten? The Jia family had a big fight yesterday because they couldn't have food to eat."

"You said they are all neighbors, how can I, an old man, not help them? But we have given all the food to them, and we are out of food at home, so I went to buy some corn flour."

As Yi Zhonghai spoke, he opened the bag of grain and let the two of them take a look. The two of them saw that it was indeed corn flour. Although the quantity they bought was a bit too much, this stuff was not valuable, so they didn't say anything else.

But Yan Bugui still looked at Yi Zhonghai with some suspicion. Is this guy crazy? Why is he rushing to send food to the Jia family?

And Yi Zhonghai simply reached out and took out two eggs in the two people's puzzled gazes, and then stuffed one into each of them.

"Old Yan and Old Zhao, take these eggs back home to satisfy your children's cravings!"

Zhao Zhanfu reached out to take the egg. "This, this, this is so embarrassing, you are really a big shot!"

Yan Bugui's reaction was even more exaggerated. "Old Yi, if you were to say you are a great boss, with your style of uniting neighbors, you would be the number one in our yard, if not the alley."

"Hey, look at what you're saying. Well, I'll go back first. The old lady is still waiting to eat eggs!"

The two looked at Yi Zhonghai's back as he left, and said to Zhanfu with emotion: "What a good man! We misunderstood him before!"

"What misunderstanding? Hasn't Lao Yi always been such a kind-hearted person?"

Zhao Zhanfu was stunned. No wonder he could sit firmly on the throne of the number one abacus. It was all because of Yan Bugui's shamelessness.

After Yi Zhonghai returned, he picked out five or six eggs from the remaining eggs, and then slowly walked out of the house when there were many people in the courtyard.

"Huai Ru, take these eggs back and give them to Bang Geng to nourish his body. You must not let the child develop any disease."

"Thank you, uncle!"

Qin Huairu stretched out her hands in confusion, but her eyes subconsciously looked at the sky. There was nothing wrong with the direction where the sun was rising!

The neighbors in other courtyards looked at Yi Zhonghai with curiosity. Although he had helped the Jia family in the past, he always had to drag everyone to bleed together. Why did he change the past tradition and do it alone now?

What surprised them even more was that Yi Zhonghai didn't say a word after doing his good deed. He just said hello to everyone and went home!
