Rebirth He Yuzhu I am a family man

Recently, too many things have happened to Yi Zhonghai, which have stimulated and hit him one after another, making his heartstrings almost numb.

Widow Bai took He Daqing to find Yi Zhonghai to handle the house change procedures. Although Yi Zhonghai was quite surprised, he no longer had the energy and strength to think about it.

The three of them left the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and He Daqing walked behind the White Widow. He Daqing looked at the haggard Yi Zhonghai and asked in confusion: "Old Yi, we are both old enough to be buried. We don't know what will happen tomorrow. Why did you divorce the White Widow?"

"What are you going to do about your retirement in the future? Do you really want to rely on Qin Huairu?"

Yi Zhonghai, who was dejected, sighed for a long time before explaining helplessly: "Daqing, I have made one mistake after another! I am old and have become a burden to others."

"But getting divorced now is not the worst thing. It's better than dying and having no one to care about you."

The White Widow, who was walking in front of the two men, was immediately displeased when she heard Yi Zhonghai say that. She responded with a sharp retort, "Yi Zhonghai, what do you mean by one wrong step leads to all wrong steps? What do you mean by becoming a burden? Who are you referring to?"

"You did something immoral, and yet you pretend to be ignorant!"

"You brought this upon yourself. Did anyone force you with a knife to take Qin Huairu and her family into your home?"

"You don't do anything yourself, but you blame others, bah..."

"A good man doesn't fight with a shrew," Yi Zhonghai muttered sadly and dared not say anything else.

Seeing that Bai Guafu was so unscrupulous in front of Yi Zhonghai, He Daqing was worried that something might come out of the conversation. Thinking that less trouble is better, he kept silent to avoid bringing bad luck to Bai Guafu.

The three of them walked silently, and they all quickened their pace involuntarily. After the change procedures for the back house were completed, Widow Bai received the money from He Daqing and disappeared from Yi Zhonghai's sight.

Seeing that Widow Bai had gone far away, He Daqing said to Yi Zhonghai kindly, "Old Yi, you can see that I only spent 300 yuan on this house. It's like I got it for free."

"We've been neighbors for decades. If you want to buy it back, I won't take advantage of you. Just give me 300 yuan."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at He Daqing gratefully, lowered his head and kept silent. After thinking for a while, he sighed and said, "Daqing, I appreciate your kindness."

"I'm so old, and I don't have any children of my own. What's the point of having a house or savings? Let's just leave it like this!"

"Daqing, we had a lot of grudges in the past, but I have a request: if I die one day, can you or your pillar take care of my funeral?"

Yi Zhonghai mustered up his courage and finally spoke out what had been bothering him for a long time and making him feel uneasy. He looked at He Daqing expectantly.

People who came from the old society value friendship and loyalty. Besides, He Daqing is already in his early seventies, and he can fully understand Yi Zhonghai's heart knot.

He Daqing's expressionless face showed no expression. He stared with a pair of dead fish eyes and did not directly answer Yi Zhonghai. Instead, he consoled him very seriously: "Old Yi, this is a new society. When the time comes, will the steel mill and the street ignore you?"

"When that time comes, if Cui Lanruo and I are still here, don't worry! We will come to see you off."

"As for Zhuzi, now, all his energy is on his career, and the scene is getting bigger and bigger. How can I ask him for anything..."

Widow Bai's two sons, Bai Yulong and Bai Yuma, grew up eating the food of the Yi family. Yi Zhonghai helped them find jobs and housing, and helped them get married and have children. In the end, it was all in vain.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't ask anything of the two sons of Bai Guafu, so how could he shamelessly ask anything of He Yuzhu who had nothing to do with him?

To be polite, he is just an ordinary old neighbor. When Yi Zhonghai really arrives, he will come to see him off; to be impolite, he can just pretend not to know.

Although He Daqing's reply was rather tactful, Yi Zhonghai was no fool and of course he understood what he meant.

The two of them tacitly stopped talking. Seeing Yi Zhonghai in a low mood, He Daqing started talking about the interesting things in his youth. The two old men were like children, arguing with each other...

Ever since one of Yi Zhonghai's houses was sold to He Daqing by the White Widow, no one in the He family cared about it. As a result, Qin Huairu and others continued to use it.

He Daqing thought, "He Yuzhu is busy outside every day, and his grandson needs to go to school. At their age, how can they have the energy to argue with Qin Huairu?"

Just when he was worrying about the newly bought back house, he remembered that He Yushui's two children were already in their teens and were still squeezed in the same room. So he turned his attention to Li's parents who lived in the courtyard with He Yushui and his wife.

He Yushui has lived in a single room since she was a child. She originally thought that three rooms would be enough for the whole family and that the two children would no longer have to squeeze into one room. However, she never expected that Li Jianguo's parents would move into the courtyard house.

Li's parents and their children had been living together in one room in the slum for so long that they had long since had enough of it. They had never thought in their lifetime that with the help of their eldest son, Li Jianguo, they would be able to live in a three-room house in the courtyard.

He Yushui got the key from He Daqing, went home and told him that there was a back house in the outer courtyard that they could live in. Li's parents took the key and rushed straight to the outer courtyard.

For Li's parents, this was like a house falling from the sky. Although they favored their younger son, Li Jianguo was their eldest son after all. "Parents' love is pitiful in the world", and no parent would want their own child to get better and better.

My eldest granddaughter and grandson are not old enough to speak, so they should understand those principles. It’s just that the limited conditions at home restrict their normal thinking.

The last time they cleaned the west wing of the central courtyard, Li's parents watched the master making the kang. As the children had to go to school during the day and had nothing to do, they thought about making the kang themselves. In order to avoid affecting the normal work of their son and daughter-in-law, they wanted to do the work of whitewashing themselves.

Li's parents are both over 60 years old. They have big ambitions, but when it comes to work, their hands-on ability and speed are not good enough. They can only do a little bit of work in a room today and some more tomorrow.

Li Jianguo and He Yushui couldn't bear to see this and advised them to ask a master to make the kang and complete it in one go, but the old couple simply refused to listen.

Li's parents were slowly cleaning the house, and they enjoyed the process, but the "sloppy girl" next door was suffering. Her belly was bulging, and every day when the noise of cleaning the house next door was heard, she felt something kicking her in the stomach.

So many people were crowded in one room of the Yi family. Besides, the belly of "Sloppy Girl" was getting bigger and bigger. Living in a familiar courtyard house would inevitably lead to gossip. Therefore, Xiao Huaihua had already thought about moving out. After "Sloppy Girl" complained to her, she made up her mind.

Xiao Huaihua used her and her husband's savings and obtained several months' salary advance from the HR department of "Sijiucheng He'e Madam Food Enterprise" to buy a single room in a compound not far from the Siheyuan...
