Siheyuan: Rebirth of He Yuzhu, God of Cooking starts

The third aunt patted her chest and assured her: "Leave it to me! Together with your third uncle and Jie Cheng, we can finish it in a few days."

"Okay, after your third uncle comes back, we will add up the salary and let me know what the number is."

“But let me say it first, I don’t want it if the price is higher than outside!”

Originally, Third Aunt was planning to make a killing from him, but now after hearing what he said, she felt a little disappointed.

"Whether you will do it or not, just tell me the truth, Third Aunt."

"Fuck, I'll tell Lao Yan when he comes back!"

During the lunch break, Yi Zhonghai came to the street.

"Director Wang."

"Lao Yi, what's the matter?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said: "Didn't I say before that there are orphans on the street who need families to adopt them?"

"It does happen. Do you want to adopt?"

"Yes, I plan to contribute my modest efforts to help the neighborhood solve the family problems of a child."

Director Wang's face was filled with smiles. No one had taken over the orphans before. As long as Yi Zhonghai took the lead and promoted it well, it would mean...

He has done another excellent job.

"Come on, Lao Yi, let me take you to see the child."

However, the moment he saw the child, Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly.

"Lao Yi, don't look at this child. He is dark and thin now. He will be fine after raising him for a while."

Director Wang thought he was not satisfied with the child's conditions.

"Director Wang, can you find a smaller one?"

"smaller?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded firmly: "That's right, the smaller the better."

Director Wang spread his hands helplessly, "Really? The youngest here is seven or eight years old."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but hesitate. What he needed was a child who was still young and naive, like a blank piece of paper, which was convenient for him to shape. But those older children were obviously not the best options.

"Old Yi, do you plan to go back on your word?" Director Wang's face and tone were obviously wrong, revealing that if Yi Zhonghai dared to break his promise, he would look good on him.

Sensing Director Wang's mood, Yi Zhonghai did not dare to delay any longer and chose the youngest one. After all, he said he would adopt orphans, and he couldn't break his promise just because he was afraid of Director Wang.

In the evening, Yi Zhonghai returned to the compound with a child. "Old Yi, is this child a beggar you picked up from somewhere?" the neighbors asked curiously.

"Lao Yi, why are you bringing your child back from work?" More people surrounded them, chattering.

Yi Zhonghai held the little boy's hand. Although the child was dirty, he was happy and didn't mind. "Dear neighbors, this is the child I adopted after submitting it to the street. He will become a member of our family, my adopted son."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence around, and then everyone realized that Yi Zhonghai was an only child and had no offspring. In order to have someone to rely on in his later years, there was nothing wrong with adopting a child. "Old Yi, congratulations!" "That's right, you have a child in your old age!"

Although the words were well-intentioned, they sounded strange. Then someone said: "Lao Yi, you have many children, do you want to entertain the neighbors?"

As soon as I heard this, I knew it was Yan Bugui's doing. Only he would ask such a direct question. No one else would say that. Deep down in his heart, Yi Zhonghai agreed that this matter was worthy of celebration, and decided: "Okay, I will host a banquet at home on Saturday, the public holiday."

He Yuzhu didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to really choose to adopt a child, which saved him the trouble of calculating people's hearts. However, this made Jia Dongxu feel that he had lost something.

Qiao Yun said, "If it weren't for your mother, would he easily adopt someone else just because he is Yi Zhonghai's apprentice? 'Once a teacher, always a father.' If you convince him to help you in your old age, then everything he has will belong to us, including his salary and house, which will be our future life guarantee."

Jia Dongxu nodded in agreement, and then said helplessly: "Yes, a teacher is half a teacher. But my mother's stubborn personality... Forget it, let's not talk about this."

"Wife, go boil some hot water and give the child a thorough wash!" Aunt Yi agreed quickly with a look of joy on her face.

When they learned that Yi Zhonghai had brought back a child, they dispersed as there was nothing new to see. However, people were still discussing Yi Zhonghai's adoption of an orphan in private.

The aunt in the yard said, "Old Liu, do you think Yi Zhonghai has other reasons for doing this?"

She raised a question: "Generally speaking, he would adopt orphans. Is there some unknown pressure behind this?"

Liu Haizhong snorted and answered with a nasal voice: "Of course, he Yi Zhonghai is childless, so he will naturally appear to care more about everyone in front of everyone."

Yan Bugui, who had returned to the Yan family, asked, "Old man, have you figured it out? Can we get any substantial rewards by doing this?"

Yan Bugui's family did not pay attention to Yi Zhonghai's decision to adopt a child, but were thinking about how to plot against He Yuzhu.

"Are we really going to do this?"

"Do it, why not? It's always good to make money."

"You can prepare some things while you are at home during the day. When I get off work, I can pick them up and help them after school."

He Yuzhu was whispering with Xu Damao.

"Brother Zhu, this Yi Zhonghai is really bold!"

"Da Mao, he is already over 40 years old. He didn't get pregnant when he was young, so it will be even harder for him to have a child in the future."

"If he doesn't adopt a child now, what will he do when he gets old? Who will take care of him and see him to the end of his life?"

He Yuzhu further explained: "At first he was optimistic about Jia Dongxu and even accepted his disciple as his son!"

"In modern society, an apprentice is like a half-son. He helps the Jia family and hopes that Jia Dongxu will take care of him in his later years."

"But Jia Dongxu's mother and son disappointed him. In addition, Jia Dongxu is married, so Yi Zhonghai must find a new goal."

Xu Damao said, "According to you, you are the most suitable person in our courtyard to take care of him in his old age!"

"Bah!" He Yuzhu became excited, "Am I a fatherless person?"

Xu Damao jokingly said, "Didn't you cut off contact with He Daqing? Aren't you no longer father and son?"

"Even so, I don't lack father's care. Do I really need to find an outsider to control myself?"

"Am I talking nonsense because I have too much to drink?"

"Zhu Zi, are you home?" Yan Bugui's voice came from outside the door.

He Yuzhu opened the door: "Third uncle, my light is always on, there is no way there is anyone here."

"Zhuzi, don't you invite me to come in and sit down?"

He Yuzhu knew in his heart that he saw the melon seeds and peanuts on the table that attracted Yan Bugui.

"Uncle, just tell me what you want to say and I'll get it for you."

He Yuzhu didn't want Yan Bugui to come in, because this guy would definitely be endless.

He was not afraid of Yan Bugui, but was afraid of causing trouble for himself. Every word he said meant wasting his breath.
