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

"You go first, there's no need to see me off, I'll go to work by myself!"

Xu Xiaoran glanced at Yi Bufan and knew that Yi Zhonghai wanted to talk to him and didn't want things to become too awkward. After all, they would still live in the same yard in the future.

"Okay, then go slower."

"Leave the shopping to me."

Yi Bufan gave a few instructions and watched Xu Xiaoran walk a long way before turning around and walking towards the factory with Yi Zhonghai.

"Comrade Yi Bufan, what happened before was due to my negligence as a senior official. I now solemnly apologize to you."

Yi Zhonghai felt that he should make his attitude clear first.

"You don't need to apologize. I wasn't hurt anyway. Just don't bother me in the future. Besides, your uncle has been suspended from his job."

Yi Bufan smiled slightly. Yi Zhonghai always felt that since he had no children, his pursuits were different from those of ordinary people.

"No, Jia Zhangshi and Zhuzi... He Yuzhu have all been punished, and they will definitely be more restrained in the future."

"You should also chat and walk around with your neighbors more often. We all know each other every day, so it's better to live in harmony."

"I still have some prestige in the factory. If you have any problems, you can come to me at any time."

Yi Zhonghai's words can be regarded as extending an olive branch.

"Aren't you afraid that Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu will stop providing for your retirement if they find out that you helped me?"

"They both hate me to the core now."

Yi Bufan smiled and glanced at Yi Zhonghai.

"Have you heard about this?"

Yi Zhonghai was not surprised either, as everyone could see it.

It's my fault that I am the last one to die.

Yi Bufan didn't say anything either.

"Let's leave it to fate. If it really comes to that, I can only accept it."

Yi Zhonghai also felt that there were some things he could not afford.

Just like this time, if Sha Zhu really did something to Qin Huairu, he would definitely not be able to clean up the mess.

"At your age, if you divorce your first wife and marry another, you should have a chance to have children. Why do you have to make yourself extinct?"

Yi Bufan really wanted to know the reason and had wanted to know it before he traveled through time.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai did not say anything, but took out a cigarette and handed one to Yi Bufan.

Yi Bufan had never seen Yi Zhonghai smoking before, and it was a Swimming brand cigarette. It seemed that he didn't want to go ashore.

"I haven't told anyone about this."

Yi Zhonghai was silent for a while and took a few puffs of his cigarette.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't bother. I don't really want to know."

Yi Bufan doesn't want to make things difficult for others.

"It's nothing, actually. The reason I didn't divorce Auntie is because I promised her sister that I would take good care of her."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai let out a deep breath.

It was like speaking out the worries that had been pent up in my heart for years.

"Auntie has a sister? You promised her at the cost of making the Yi family extinct? Is it worth it?"

Yi Bufan didn't expect this to be the reason. Is Yi Zhonghai stupid? What kind of promise is this?

"Her sister is my first wife, we grew up together."

"Then there was war and her sister happened to be pregnant, so she stayed in hiding in Sijiu City. Later, I heard something happened in the village, so her sister asked me to go back to find her sister, who was the first aunt."

"It was at that time that her sister gave birth to a premature baby. When I rushed back, her sister was already dying and the baby was gone. I guess she was gone!"

"Her sister told me to take good care of my aunt, and then she passed away. We were then taken away by a few strangers."

"I suspect her sister is not an ordinary person. She might be..."

Yi Zhonghai stopped talking here. There were some things he couldn't say.

"Then you and the auntie stayed together?"

Yi Bufan did not make things difficult for Yi Zhonghai and continued speaking.

"Yes, I think being with an auntie is also a kind of protection for her sister. No one will pay attention to her or investigate her anymore."

"I failed her and I can't abandon her sister again."

"Even if an aunt can't have children!"

Yi Zhonghai's last words were trembling.

Perhaps, such a decision made him regret several times and made him firm several times.

"I didn't expect you were such a lovesick person!"

Yi Bufan smiled faintly. This could be considered as a preliminary understanding of his father.

Although I don’t know why Yi Zhonghai told me these secrets.

However, Yi Bufan found it very useful.

If the adoptive parents' investigation is correct, then the aunt's sister should be my mother.

"There's nothing good about being infatuated. It's just that I made a promise to her, and I can't break it."

Yi Zhonghai's cigarette has run out.

Cigarettes of that era didn't have butts, and they directly burned Yi Zhonghai's fingers.

It seemed to wake him up from his sad state.

"I hope that everyone in our yard can be like a big family, helping each other without conflicts."

Yi Zhonghai calmed down and forced a smile on his face.

"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me!"

"I like quietness, too."

Yi Bufan showed a smile and looked at Yi Zhonghai.

"it is good."

"By the way, you and Xu Xiaoran, haven't you held a wedding banquet yet? If possible, I suggest you hold it in our yard, which can also enhance everyone's relationship."

"If you don't have enough money, I'll lend you some."

Yi Zhonghai said this and took out twenty yuan.

"Thank you very much."

“We are indeed prepared for this.”

Yi Bufan took the money without saying a word, so much so that Yi Zhonghai didn't even have time to react. His hand stayed in the air for a while before he put it down. This was really rude.

"If you need any help, just tell me."

"If Zhuzi hadn't been arrested, he could have prepared a banquet for you."

Yi Zhonghai said casually.

"It's okay. Nan Yi from the third canteen in our factory will do. I heard he's a pretty good cook."

Yi Bufan had not originally planned to hire Sha Zhu. Compared to Nan Yi, Sha Zhu’s level might not be that good.

"Nan Yi? It's okay, but that person is very arrogant and may not do it for you."

Yi Zhonghai knew Nan Yi. His cooking skills were indeed very good, but he only did his job and would not necessarily give face even if his boss asked him to cook.

"Let's try it then."

Yi Bufan hadn't met the person yet, he had only heard about him.

"I'll go ask for you, too."

Yi Zhonghai said this as he walked into the factory gate.

"By the way, I was patrolling yesterday and I felt that there was something wrong with the sound of the machines in your first workshop. You'd better check it out and remind everyone to operate in a standardized manner."

"We have been emphasizing safety issues in recent meetings, and you should also pay attention to it."

Yi Bufan felt that Jia Dongxu was hung on the wall because of something that happened recently, but he didn't know which day it was.

Just find a reason to remind me.

Even if we say now that something bad will happen to Jia Dongxu, no one will believe it. Instead, they will think that we are crazy, which will bring trouble to ourselves.
