Rebirth He Yuzhu I am a family man

Chapter 157 Yi Zhonghai’s Thoughts

Perhaps Yi Zhonghai wanted to accumulate merit for himself, or perhaps he really had feelings for Jia Zhang, so after sending Jia Zhang back to her hometown, he did not rush to leave.

Yi Zhonghai went to find the village cadres and spent some money to hire someone to help Jia Zhang clean up the dilapidated old house of the Jia family. He also found a few families who were related to the old Jia family, and gave them red envelopes and gifts to greet them, asking them to help take care of Jia Zhang.

Although the conditions in Jiajiaao at that time were not as good as those in the city, everyone still had a strong sense of clan. Besides, it had been a new society for so many years and the people were simple, kind and helpful. Those families who were related to the family agreed without hesitation.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Zhang's condition, perhaps thinking that this separation might be a separation between the Yin and Yang, so he stayed in the village for a few days before saying goodbye to Jia Zhang and leaving her some money and food.

After returning to his courtyard house in the old city, Yi Zhonghai seemed like a completely different person. He no longer carried himself as an eighth-level worker, and his speech was no longer pretentious. He became enthusiastic and talkative, and liked to join in fun and visit people everywhere. He became an ordinary retired old man who was approachable.

How could others know that Jia Zhang's last journey touched Yi Zhonghai and made him feel an urgent sense of crisis. How could he not know what was going on in his family?

He was all alone at home, and he felt even worse than Jia Zhang. After all, at least there were Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru, two little clubs and a club in the Jia family. And what about him? Maybe he would die without anyone knowing.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai wanted to integrate into the lives of every family in the courtyard, and planned to make everyone accustomed to having him in their lives, so that if they couldn't see him one day, they would come to Yi's house to look for him. In this way, if something happened to him in the future, someone would know about it, so that he would have the opportunity to get help from kind people.

As Yi Zhonghai became friends with the retired elderly people in the courtyard, he gradually realized that he was not the only one who was worried and had wild thoughts about his later years. Even in families where both elderly couples were still alive, the elderly also had anxieties and concerns in this regard.

On this day, Yi Zhonghai was chatting with people in the hospital. Someone was complaining: "Now that I am old, my physical and mental strength are getting worse and worse. I can only muddle through every meal. If I continue like this, I will be malnourished sooner or later. Let's think of a way to solve this problem of eating."

After hearing this, Yan Bugui didn't think twice and replied casually: "That's not difficult. The retired elderly people in our hospital can each contribute a little money and eat together! Find a diligent person to cook for everyone, and then pay that person some wages, isn't it? "

An old man sighed and said, "Well, this is a good idea, but it's broad daylight and the young people in the courtyard are not working outside. It's not easy to find someone to cook."

"Oh my, isn't it hard to find someone to cook? Young people don't have time to do it. I'm not even 50 years old yet, so why don't I do it?" Qin Huairu, who was listening to people chatting in the middle courtyard, recommended herself to the group of elderly people chatting in the outer courtyard.

"Qin Huairu has kept the Jia family going for so many years. Usually, everyone sees her washing and cleaning by the pool in the central courtyard. She is indeed a diligent person, I think." Liu Haizhong looked at Qin Huairu and expressed his opinion.

Yi Zhonghai had experienced Qin Huairu's bad side, but eating together could indeed strengthen everyone's connection, and it solved the problem of eating for the elderly who were slow to react and had difficulty walking, so he couldn't refute it.

Yi Zhonghai didn't object, but he was really worried about Qin Huairu, fearing that the money would quietly fall into Qin Huairu's pocket.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai made a well-reasoned suggestion: "Old Liu, while letting Qin Huairu cook for everyone, someone has to supervise the daily expenditure, otherwise, it won't last long."

"The daily vegetable money should not be collected for too long. A maximum of one week's vegetable money should be collected at one time. Every time Qin Huairu goes out to buy vegetables and food, she goes to the supervisor to collect the money..."

When Yan Bugui heard what Yi Zhonghai said, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that he had found a place to use his skills. He happily interrupted and said, "Old Yi's suggestion is good. I can do the work of writing and keeping the account book..."

“Three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang.” With the help of the old people, Qin Huairu got the opportunity to cook for the retired elderly people in the courtyard.

Don't underestimate this humble job. Since Qin Huairu started cooking for the elderly, her family basically doesn't have to pay for their three meals a day. At the end of the month, she can still get a small amount of wages. For the Jia family in trouble, Qin Huairu is very satisfied.

It is said that after Jia Zhang left the courtyard, although the Jia family still used coarse grains every time they cooked, Qin Huairu would never snatch food from her two grandsons, so Bangchui and Banggan finally had their fill.

After Qin Huairu started cooking for the retired elderly people in the courtyard, she found spiritual sustenance and also got over the series of misfortunes that had happened to the Jia family in recent times.

Qin Huairu was in a good mood and full of energy. She couldn't stay idle and started doing housework at home. One day, when she was sorting out the things left by Jia Zhang, she found the can of brown sugar.

In Qin Huairu's opinion, brown sugar is a good thing, a tonic. When she gave birth to Banggeng, Jia Zhangshi only made it for her a few times; when she gave birth to Xiaodang and Xiaohuaihua, she never drank it once in the Jia family.

Back then, Qin Huairu was reluctant to eat any white flour buns, meat or vegetables she got at the steel mill. She only wanted to take them home to share with her family. How could she bear to eat the brown sugar secretly by herself?

Thinking of her two grandsons Bangchui and Banggan who were easily hungry and cried out, Qin Huairu went to steam a basket of brown sugar buns, intending that the whole family could taste the flavor of brown sugar.

After being disciplined by Jia Zhang, Bangchui and Banggan had tasted the feeling of hunger and became obsessed with eating. They used to be careless and indifferent when eating, but now they would go to the house to find food when they felt a little hungry and eat it voraciously.

Bangchui and Banggan, who were hungry outside, came home and smelled the fragrance of steamed buns. They kept urging Qin Huairu to give them some. Seeing her two wolf-like grandsons, Qin Huairu had no choice but to give in and put the basket full of brown sugar steamed buns on the table.

Bangchui and Banggan, two wild little wolf cubs, had no one taught them manners since they were young. They didn't bother to be polite to their grandmother Qin Huairu who was standing beside them swallowing her saliva. In a short while, they had eaten up all the brown sugar buns in the basket.

The two wolf cubs, who had eaten their fill, wiped their mouths and ran out of the courtyard, going wild again. They hadn't run far when their stomachs began to hurt, followed by cramps, and finally they were in so much pain that they couldn't even stand.

As the saying goes, "harming others will eventually harm yourself", how could the two little wolf cubs without anyone to discipline them understand? At this moment, they could only howl in pain or roll on the ground in pain...
