Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

People in the conference room didn't know that at this moment, Qin Huairu actually had a brainstorming session and figured out the accounts clearly and distinctly.

Hearing her answer, Jia Zhang knew that Qin Zheng had indeed helped today, so she agreed: "I also agree with Qin Zheng's plan."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face turned dark. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Qin Zheng turning his gaze towards him. He quickly closed his mouth and dared not say another word.

After stopping Yi Zhonghai from speaking, Qin Zheng left directly. The next thing was to go through the compensation procedures, which had nothing to do with him anymore.

Qin Zheng did not expect that on the third day after Jia Dongxu's burial, Yi Zhonghai actually took the initiative to walk into Qin Zheng's office.

"Master Yi, is something wrong?"

Yi Zhonghai hesitated: "Chief Engineer Qin, I want to invite you to my house for dinner tonight."

"Is something wrong?"

"Hey, you are the most promising child I have watched grow up. I am not afraid of you laughing at me, but there are some things that I cannot see clearly right now, so I want to talk to you and ask for your advice."

“Is it about elderly care?”

"Did you guess it? Yes, it's about the idea of ​​elderly care. Oh, you are really amazing."

When Yi Zhonghai heard Qin Zheng's question, he felt relieved. What did this mean? It meant that Qin Zheng could guess what he was thinking, which also meant that his problem might be solved.

"Okay, I'll be there after get off work."

Although he was a little confused, Qin Zheng did not hesitate and agreed directly.

Qin Zheng didn't know that on the day Jia Dongxu was buried, Yi Zhonghai hadn't slept well for two days in a row, and had been thinking about how to find a partner to take care of him in his old age.

However, after thinking about it, there is still no clue.

It was the aunt who suggested: "Since we can't figure out the clues, can we ask Qin Zheng? This kid is smart and maybe he can help us clear the fog."

As the saying goes, emergency breeds wisdom, and so the scene above happened.

In the evening, Qin Zheng walked into Yi Zhonghai's house and handed the cooked food he took out of the space to the aunt.

"Hey, why did you bring meat with you? We have some at home, take it back and feed it to the child."

"You're welcome, Auntie. I have more at home."

The lady didn't want to take the food, so Yi Zhonghai said, "Put on a plate. Qin Zheng, please come in."

Since they were not at work, he did not call Qin Zheng by his official title.

After a few pleasantries, the three of them sat down. Yi Zhonghai poured Qin Zheng some wine and sighed, "Time flies. It feels like your family just moved into the courtyard yesterday. I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you have become a director-level cadre."

"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have realized that I've lived here for fifteen years."

"Here, let me toast you."

"Haha, I dare not. Now that we have entered this compound, you are the elder, so I will respect you first."

As he said that, Qin Zheng gestured to him and raised his glass to drink.

Putting down the wine glass, Yi Zhonghai sighed, "Qin Zheng, I invited you here today just to talk to you about retirement, and ask you to help me with some advice. You don't know, I really envy your father, who has both sons and daughters, and they are all geniuses."

His words also made the face of the middle-aged woman next to him darken, but Qin Zheng was more understanding.

The reason for all this is that they have no one to take care of them in their old age.

Seeing Qin Zheng looking at him without saying anything, Yi Zhonghai added: "Don't you understand why I told you this?"

"Yes. I don't understand."

"Yesterday in the conference room, you looked at me a few times, and I could clearly tell from your eyes that I couldn't hide my feelings from you at all. After I came back, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that if I could talk to you, maybe my worries could be resolved."

"You think too highly of me. However, I do have some ideas. Uncle, you have spent a lot of time and effort in these years to find someone to take care of your old age, right?"

Yi Zhonghai's hand that was picking up the food paused for a moment. Then he stopped picking up the food, put down his chopsticks and sighed. The face of the middle-aged woman next to him became even gloomier.

"I knew that what I did could not be hidden from you, or even from the people in the hospital. Do you think what I did was ridiculous?"

"If I say no, I'd be lying. I can only say that I understand a little. I think you are the one who is in the dark. You have calculated so much, but it's all in vain."

"Hey, who would have thought that Dongxu was fine, but he would just pass away like this?"

Yi Zhonghai thought that Qin Zheng meant that Jia Dongxu was dead and all his efforts were in vain.

"Uncle, when I said you were doing useless work, it wasn't because you listed Jia Dongxu as a pensioner, but he died in the end."

"If he doesn't die, how can my work be in vain?"

After saying this, he almost shed tears.

Qin Zheng silently raised his glass to him, and they both drank another glass of wine.

"Jia Dongxu is dead. I don't want to comment on him anymore. It's inappropriate. I just want to say that he is not the right person to take care of your retirement. Even if he is still alive, it will probably be a waste of time."

"Who is it then?"

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Didn't the deaf old lady tell you?"

Yi Zhonghai was shocked: "Ah? Are you talking about He Yuzhu?"

"Yes. Zhu was originally the most suitable, but you calculated too much and pushed him further and further away. Now it is impossible. In fact, based on my understanding of Zhu, if you had told him directly, he would probably have agreed to you. What a pity."

Yi Zhonghai was a little stunned. Qin Zheng actually had the same idea as the deaf old lady, but he still didn't understand why.

"What about the stick?"

"If Jia Dongxu is not suitable, then does Banggeng have to be? They both live in the same family. Look how favored Banggeng is at home."

"I do not really get it."

"Zhu Zi is a man who offends people whenever he opens his mouth. He is foul-mouthed and has a bad temper. However, we should judge people by their essence. Zhu Zi is sincere and honest. He does not calculate. If others respect him, he will at least give them one inch in return. He is not the kind of person who only takes advantage and is not willing to give back. He is selfish and self-centered."

At this point, Qin Zheng paused and said, "If Zhuzi respects you, it will be from the bottom of his heart. He will listen to you and will never say nice things to you in front of you and not take it to heart behind your back. The most important thing is that no one controls him and he can make his own decisions on everything."

After saying this, he didn't say anything else, but drank the wine in the glass and poured himself another one.

Yi Zhonghai sat there in a daze, with a few words repeating in his mind: only taking advantage, unwilling to give, respect from the bottom of the heart, and being able to make the decisions.

"call……"

After a long while, Yi Zhonghai let out a long sigh, because Jia Dongxu was dead. He finally cleared the fog and woke up. He completely agreed with the words of the deaf old lady and Qin Zheng.

Just when he figured out the problem, two tears flowed from his eyes. When the aunt saw it, she burst into tears: "Blame me, it's all my fault, I can't have children."

An old lady cried and spoke, slapping her thighs with her hands.
