Siheyuan: I found a wife right after I crossed over

Yi Zhonghai's home was also lifeless. In previous years, he either spent the holiday with the Jia family, or with Sha Zhu, and the deaf old lady. A group of people ate hot dumplings and were very happy.

But this year, Jia Dongxu is gone, and his relationship with the Jia family has plummeted.

Jia Zhang wanted to maintain a close relationship with him, but Yi Zhonghai didn't even want to look at her.

She took good care of the Jia family in the past because she intended to let Jia Dongxu take care of her in her old age. Now that Jia Dongxu is gone, can she still count on her to take care of her in her old age?

Yi Zhonghai now just wants to stay away from the Jia family, for fear of being stuck to her.

As for Sha Zhu, he went to Yang Chong's place early and helped Yang Chong kill fish and chickens. It seemed that they would have the New Year's Eve dinner there.

The old lady was still making dumplings, but Yi Zhonghai was sitting there in a daze, holding a large teacup in his hand, but the water in the cup had already gone cold.

"Old man, what are you sitting there for? Come and help me make some dumplings. Then bring the old lady over and we can eat dumplings together." An old lady called him.

Yi Zhonghai ignored him and was still thinking: Oh, why did I get so stupid as to find a short-lived ghost like Jia Dongxu to take care of me in my old age?

Because of him, he even offended Yang Chong.

It would have been great if Yang Chong had been chosen instead of Jia Dongxu.

Alas, in the final analysis it’s all my fault for not being able to give birth. If I had given birth to a son, why would I look for someone else?

Give birth to a son yourself?

Will I be able to give birth again?

Yi Zhonghai was in a trance for a moment. He stood up and took two steps. Suddenly, he saw Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e walking into Yang Chong's house together in the yard.

Xu Damao was holding two bottles of wine in his hands, which seemed to be valuable Maotai.

Xu Damao...

Yi Zhonghai suddenly remembered something. Xu Damao was acting crazy a few days ago and said that he would have his own son soon.

Could it be that Lou Xiao'e is also pregnant?

Aren’t they the same couple who can’t have children as I am?

Could it be that Xu Damao found some secret recipe to cure this disease and healed him?

If he can really cure it, then do I have hope too?

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai could no longer sit still and instinctively wanted to go out to find Xu Damao to ask about the secret recipe.

But when he reached the door, he stopped.

Xu Damao had just entered Yang Chong's door with wine in his hand. It looked like he would not come out until he finished drinking it for a while.

Should I go to Yang Chong's house to ask for the secret recipe?

Wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

Let's wait and see. Decades have passed, do we still care about a short period of time?

Yi Zhonghai turned around and went back. A little hope was ignited in his heart and his mood became much better. He even took the initiative to go over and help the old lady make dumplings.

The aunt looked at him in surprise, then shook her head at the dumplings he made with only skins but no fillings: "Okay, stop making trouble here, go to the backyard and help the old lady over so we can eat dumplings. I'll put away the remaining pork and cook a meat dish tomorrow to celebrate the New Year."

Yi Zhonghai responded, got up and went to the backyard, where the deaf old lady was waiting in the house.

In previous years, Sha Zhu would carry her to the front early in the morning to eat dumplings together.

I waited for a long time today but didn't see anyone. The old lady was getting a little impatient. If her feet were not too small to walk, she would have run over by herself.

After looking forward to it for a long time, I finally saw Yi Zhonghai.

"Zhonghai, what's going on this year? Why did you come to pick me up so late? Where's Zhuzi? Why didn't he come?" asked the deaf old lady.

Yi Zhonghai sighed, "Old lady, this year is different from previous years. It's good enough to have you eat something. Zhuzi is celebrating the New Year with that kid Yang Chong today, so I'm afraid he can't take care of us."

The deaf old lady stared at him: "You, Zhonghai, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're too narrow-minded. Chongzi is actually a pretty good kid. Why do you always hold a grudge against him?"

Yi Zhonghai sighed, "Old lady, please stop talking about me. Isn't it all because of Dongxu? I regret it. I did a lot of stupid things because of Dongxu. Now I regret it. But it's too late to regret now. I just don't want to pick on this knot, and I don't want to untie it either. You didn't see it. The guy looked more disgusted than seeing dog shit when he saw me, and he didn't want to pay attention to me at all."

The deaf old lady said, "I told you so many times that Jia Dongxu was not worth relying on, and his mother was even less than a worthless person. You refused to listen and insisted on letting him take care of you in your old age. What happened? You let him rely on you and drag you into everything. Now, he has passed away, and you have offended everyone you shouldn't have offended."

Yi Zhonghai lowered his head and said nothing. Seeing him like this, the deaf old lady didn't want to say anything more: "Okay, let's go and eat dumplings."

Yi Zhonghai carefully supported the deaf old lady and just arrived at the central courtyard. Before he reached home, he saw a small figure quietly slipping out from under his door curtain.

His two hands were still tightly holding the clothes, and it was obvious that there was something hidden inside the clothes.

Yi Zhonghai was stunned. Isn't this a good joke? This sneaky look shows that he is up to no good.

"Banggeng, what are you doing?" Yi Zhonghai asked quickly.

Banggeng was startled and ran towards his home.

But the more nervous he became, the more mistakes he made. Just as he ran to the middle of the yard, something fell out from under his clothes.

Yi Zhonghai took a look and realized that this was the piece of meat left over from his home.

He recognized the red cloth tied on it.

During the Chinese New Year this year, Yi Zhonghai bought a pound and a half of pork at the Pigeon Market, cut it into one third, and chopped it into dumpling filling.

The remaining two thirds were collected by the aunt, waiting to have another meal of meat tomorrow, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

How did it get into Banggeng’s clothes?

"This is my meat!" Yi Zhonghai was anxious to pick up the meat, but he was holding the deaf old lady in his hand. He was afraid that if he let go, the deaf old lady would fall to the ground again, which would be even more troublesome.

After hesitating for a while, Banggeng picked up the meat on the ground and ran into his house, then slammed the door.

It's over, the meat has entered the wolf's den and there's no way it can come back!

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he wanted to curse. He had been living frugally over the years. Even though his salary was high, he seldom ate meat.

I just bought a piece of meat for the New Year, but before I could eat it, it was stolen by Banggeng.

As for going to the door to ask for it, Yi Zhonghai didn't even dare to think about it.

How could Jia Zhang possibly return it? It would also make people in the courtyard laugh at her.

Now I can only swallow my anger.

At this moment, an old lady also ran out of the house. When she saw him, she asked, "Old Yi, have you seen Banggeng? I was making dumplings and he stole our piece of meat!"

Yi Zhonghai quickly shouted: "Stop shouting, aren't you ashamed?!"

The aunt was stunned, glared at him, turned around and went back to the house.
