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

As noon approached, people in the yard found their seats and sat down, waiting for their food to be served.

He Daqing also walked over to Yan Bugui and asked, "How much did you get?"

"Not much. See for yourself."

Yan Bugui showed He Daqing several notebook-sized pieces of red paper sewn together with thread.

The above are from some neighbors, and they are basically 50 cents or one dollar each.

"Xu Damao can't be without money. How can it be only fifty cents?"

He Daqing frowned, this was bound to be a loss.

"Xu Damao was lucky enough to give Sha Zhu fifty cents. You didn't even ask how many times Sha Zhu had beaten Xu Damao."

After Yi Bufan came over and finished speaking, he looked at Xu Xiaoran and said, "Wife, give fifty cents to the third uncle!"

"How can you only give me 50 cents? Don't you two both work?"

Although He Daqing had always been unhappy with Yi Bufan, he still couldn't help but ask.

"As soon as Shazhu arrived, he wanted to send me to jail. I hold grudges!"

"Fifty cents is a lot."

Yi Bufan didn't plan to give more.

"you!"

He Daqing gritted his teeth and held back from saying anything.

"Old Yan, remember this for me!"

Yi Zhonghai also came over, took out a stack of money from his pocket, and dropped it on the table.

"There must be twenty of them!"

Yan Bugui has a keen eye and can see the general idea at a glance.

"About twenty-two dollars and sixty cents."

Yi Zhonghai smiled.

"Old Yi's salary is probably around 60 or 70 yuan now."

He Daqing was naturally happy to see Yi Zhonghai put in so much money, and asked Yi Zhonghai with a smile.

“Less!”

"Now Lao Yi's salary is about to exceed 100 yuan."

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses and revealed the truth.

Then he wrote on the paper "Yi Zhonghai, twenty-two..."

"Wait, I'll put in two dollars and sixty cents, and leave the rest alone."

As Yi Zhonghai spoke, he collected the money on the table, left two dollars and sixty cents, and handed the rest directly to Yi Bufan.

"Bufan, take this money and spend it."

Yi Zhonghai had a kind smile on his face, which stunned many people.

Including Yan Bugui and He Daqing.

Especially the expression on He Daqing's face, which was extremely wonderful.

Just now I thought Yi Zhonghai would give all the twenty-plus yuan as a gift to Sha Zhu, but in the blink of an eye, he only gave two yuan and sixty yuan.

That would have been fine, but he actually gave the twenty dollars directly to Yi Bufan.

He had never been so generous to the White Widow's children.

"it is good!"

Yi Bufan didn't say anything and just took the money.

Shouldn’t I take the money my father gives me?

Then, they turned around and looked around.

"Bufan, this way!"

Xu Damao had already taken the seat.

Yi Bufan and Xu Xiaoran were called over, and then Yi Zhonghai and an old lady also sat over.

After seeing this scene, many neighbors were jealous of Yi Bufan.

"Lao He, you didn't even tell me you came back."

"If Damao hadn't told me that Shazhu was getting married, I wouldn't have known about it."

Before He Daqing could react, Xu Fugui came with his wife and greeted He Daqing immediately.

"Lao Xu, it's my fault. I forgot to inform you. I'll toast you later."

"You go sit over there!"

After seeing Xu Fugui put down a red envelope, He Daqing directly arranged Xu Fugui to sit at the same table with the deaf old lady.

"No, I'll just sit over here. Damao, Xiaoran, and my son-in-law are all here."

Xu Fugui smiled and pointed to the side of Yi Bufan.

"Oh, I almost forgot, Yi Bufan married your daughter."

He Daqing really didn't care about this matter, it seemed that someone had mentioned it.

Anyway, he didn't know Xu Xiaoran.

"Yeah, come over and have a few more drinks later."

"I'll go there first!"

Xu Fugui walked over with a smile.

Everyone also looked at Xu Fugui sitting at Yi Bufan's table, and actually sat next to Yi Zhonghai.

However, the two people did not confront each other as expected, but smiled at each other, seeming to be very familiar with each other.

"What are they?"

He Daqing was also a little puzzled and looked at Liu Haizhong.

"Now Yi Bufan has replaced Sha Zhu's position. Didn't the deaf old lady tell you about this before?"

The bangs also looked a little strange.

"I know about this, but does Xu Fugui just admit it?"

He Daqing didn't care that Yi Zhonghai didn't let Sha Zhu take care of him in his old age, but instead replaced him with Yi Bufan.

After all, his biological father is still alive, so why should he let Sha Zhu take care of Yi Zhonghai in his old age!

"That's not clear."

"can't read!"

Liu Haizhong shook his head and said nothing more.

Now my family is in a mess. I have raised a son for so many years, but all my efforts have been in vain.

"Didn't anyone from the Street Office come?"

Just when everyone was seated, the deaf old lady asked He Daqing.

In her opinion, the neighborhood office should also send someone to congratulate Sha Zhu on his marriage.

Didn’t someone come to Yi Bufan’s wedding before, and they also gave a lot of gifts?

“Maybe no one will come.”

"I heard that Comrade Liu Neng from the subdistrict office has been going to the hospital frequently since that day, and he has become stuttering when speaking."

Lao Wang next to him whispered.

"Ah!"

Liu Neng in the subdistrict office suddenly sneezed.

I thought, someone must be thinking about him.

"Hey, Comrade Liu Neng, didn't you go to the Siheyuan to attend the wedding of Sha Zhu and Jia Zhang?"

Wang Tiejun mentioned this when he passed by.

"Silly Zhu, marry, marry, Jia Zhang, what good blessings are there, look, look, look at it, it makes me uncomfortable!"

Liu Neng had indeed received an order to go there on behalf of the street office.

However, feeling the current speaking situation, I don’t want to go anymore.

"Did the doctor tell you what's wrong with you?"

"Why hasn't there been any improvement in the past few days?"

Wang Tiejun was also curious.

He was speaking fine before, how come he suddenly started stuttering?

"Doctor, doctor, that's just guessing, guessing, guessing."

“Eat, eat these, try them!”

Liu Neng pointed to the medicine on the table.

He felt that it was probably useless.

"Then let's go take a look at the Siheyuan again. If you don't want to go, then don't go."

"This matter is indeed somewhat shameful."

Wang Tiejun also has no plans to go.

In the courtyard, everyone looked at the limping Jia Zhang and Sha Zhu, walking from table to table, and congratulated them again and again.

But there may be more people causing trouble.

"Lao He, your wife is the best!"

Xu Fugui smiled, picked up the wine cup and looked at He Daqing.

"I heard that your son is also divorced?"

He Daqing drank it in one gulp without saying a word.

It’s really a matter of which pot should not be opened.

"Yes, Damao thinks Lou Xiao'e is not good enough and wants to choose a better one."

"You should raise the standards for Shazhu as well."

"If Shazhu's mother were still alive, she would be around this age."

Xu Fugui stopped He Daqing who was about to leave, took the wine jug and poured him another cup.
