Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"Of course it's true!"

"After so many years, whether it's the people in the courtyard or the leaders of the street office, don't they have to give me face?"

"If I wasn't in this position, would my words be so effective?"

"It's impossible for the people in the courtyard to really regard me as their ancestor."

The deaf old lady straightened her back and tapped the ground with her cane.

"Too!"

"Since you are really a family member of a martyr, I think you can just recognize Zhuzi as your grandson."

"Find the leaders of the subdistrict office and the respected people in the alley to be witnesses."

"As long as Zhuzi becomes your grandson, the leaders of the factory will have to give him face."

"Think about it, you are a family member of a martyr, and Zhuzi is also a descendant of a family member of a martyr."

"The leaders above will definitely support this matter."

"After all, someone will take care of your retirement in the future, and can also help arrange Zhuzi's work better."

"Otherwise, Zhuzi has been on leave for too long this time, and it's hard to say whether he can continue to be a chef."

"I need your help with this!"

Yi Zhonghai exhaled a few puffs of smoke and looked at the deaf old lady.

"Zhu Zi is my grandson."

The deaf old lady still wants to confuse the concepts.

"Now it's just you who thinks it is, Zhu thinks it is, I think it is, and the neighbors feel the same way."

"But it's useless. You have to make your leader think it's true."

"We need to let people know that Zhuzi has also become a descendant of a martyr's family."

"Otherwise why would they give Zhuzi special care?"

"For this matter, we need to go to the street office and ask them to be a witness and issue a certificate or something."

"From now on, you can entrust your retirement concerns to Zhuzi, and he will support you."

Yi Zhonghai understood that in this day and age, no procedure was as effective as a certificate from the street office.

"Grandma, I'll go with you to the Street Office tomorrow. Let's look for Director Wang."

"Now I'm not even the kitchen supervisor anymore, and I'm five dollars less a month."

"If the chef is gone, the salary will be even lower."

After hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Sha Zhu's eyes lit up.

If he puts on the hat of a martyr's descendant, it will definitely be more effective than Yi Zhonghai saying a word to the leader.

"I, I'll go back and look for my ID."

The deaf old lady's waist bent again, and the joints of her hands holding the cane turned white.

"The street office should have records. Just ask them to check directly."

"Maybe I can even get you a new ID by then."

"I think Yi Bufan's credentials are pretty good."

"From now on, you don't have to be the first in line to buy things at the supply and marketing cooperative with your ID."

"I think the food and meat coupons can add a few kilograms every month. Why didn't they use them before?"

Yi Zhonghai looked regretful.

"That's right, grandma. We should go to the street office and get back all the tickets that were shortchanged."

Sha Zhu looked eager to try. How could they suffer such a loss?

"Forget it. The country is better off. Just consider it as serving the people."

The deaf old lady said righteously.

"what!"

"That's fine, but, grandma, you have to recognize me as your grandson."

"This way, my job in the factory will be more stable, and I won't be demoted or have my salary cut at any time."

"Give me a few dollars more, and we can have more meat for meals."

Shazhu feels happy just thinking about it.

There is no point in holding on to a cash cow.

"Zhu Zi, what are you talking about? The factory has its own rules and regulations. We can't be partial to others."

"If you work hard and do your best, you will naturally earn a high salary."

The deaf old lady's cane tapped the ground again.

"Yes, Zhuzi, the old lady is right."

"So, you and the old lady really can't blame me for not speaking well to the boss for you before."

"Actually, I was going to say that, but think about it, as long as we work hard, we can naturally earn a high salary."

"It's the same for you now. As long as you work hard, even if you only have one hand, you can go directly to the workshop to work, and you can still earn a high salary."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, Sha Zhu was dumbfounded, his lips moving, not knowing what to say.

"Ma'am, you are right."

"I feel now that if Zhuzi encounters any trouble in the future, he should be left to face it on his own."

"We can't go to the leaders, whether they are the leaders in the factory, the leaders in the street office, or the leaders in the police station."

"If we really find one, it would be partiality."

"Each of us should think about the country and serve the people!"

"We usually eat some flour paste and steamed bread, which is nothing. This is saving food for the country."

"I support your statement."

As Yi Zhonghai spoke, he put his right leg on top of his left leg, then he knocked the ash off his cigarette holder on the sole of his shoe and put it aside.

The deaf old lady's eyes widened as she listened. She wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to start.

"Godfather!"

Sha Zhu became anxious and looked directly at Yi Zhonghai.

"Hey, don't call me godfather, you still have a father."

"I'm afraid He Daqing will come back and cause trouble for me."

Yi Zhonghai quickly waved his hands.

"Just go find your grandma. You really don't have a grandma."

Yi Zhonghai pointed at the deaf old lady.

"Grandma, I can't."

"If that's the case, how can I buy meat for you in the future?"

"If I go to the workshop, it will be very tiring and my salary will be reduced."

"And my hand..."

Sha Zhu knelt down in front of the deaf old lady and said, "Grandma, please go find the street office and ask them to recognize me as your grandson."

"From now on, I will take care of your three meals a day, all the household chores, and your retirement."

Sha Zhu said, pulling He Yushui: "Yushui, come here quickly, kneel down and call grandma."

"grandmother!"

Although He Yushui was confused, he still did as he was told.

Anyway, I have called it before.

"The current director of the subdistrict office is Director Wang. He has just taken office for a short time and has a good relationship with Yi Bufan."

"You can ask Yi Bufan to take you there tomorrow, maybe it will be easier."

"When the time comes, go directly to Director Wang, check the information, and get a certificate for you. It will be more effective than saying ten words."

Yi Zhonghai picked up the teacup and took a few sips of tea.

"Well, how about we wait a little longer? I'll go back and look for it first!"

The deaf old lady wanted to leave.

What a joke, letting Yi Bufan take it with him?

Yi Bufan is a real martyr’s relative!

"Grandma, there's no need to look for it. Why don't you just ask the leader of the street office to check it out?"

Silly Zhu was also anxious.

It's such a simple thing, why wait?

He felt it was too late now.

Why didn't I think of using it before?

"Look for it!"

The deaf old lady stood up as she spoke.

"Old lady, I'm afraid Yi Bufan was right. You really don't have that certificate!"

“They are not the relatives of martyrs!”

Yi Zhonghai's voice was flat, but it made the deaf old lady shake her body.

Even Sha Zhu and He Yu Shui were slightly stunned.

"Impossible, you are joking."

"If she really wasn't a martyr's family member, how could the neighborhood office have taken such good care of the old lady over the years?"

Sha Zhu quickly shook his head.
