Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, Yan Fugui stood up and asked, "Is there anyone in the courtyard who is willing to carry forward the style and help take care of the old lady?"

Everyone was sneering in their hearts, thinking, why don't you, the Yan family, carry forward your style? There is definitely no advantage to be gained from something that even the third uncle wouldn't do. The Siheyuan is not a charity place. Everyone, including Yi Zhonghai, only thinks about doing good deeds because they want something of their own. There are no selfless people like them. If there really were such people, they would have been taken advantage of long ago.

The two looked at each other without any reaction, and could only say: "Since no one is willing, we can only report it to the street office and see what the comrades in the street office say then."

When Yi Zhonghai heard that he had to report to the street office, he was secretly happy. Go ahead and report it. The more people report it, the more people in the street will think that those old men are incompetent and can't handle anything. Yi Zhonghai still hasn't given up. He always thinks that the position of an old man is still vacant, so is there still a chance?

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui had no choice but to lower their heads and say a few words to the deaf old lady. For the next two days, they would have to rely on the second and third uncles to provide one meal each to get by. However, the matter of taking care of the family was taken over by Liu Haizhong, who was praised by Yan Fugui. After all, the backyard was relatively close, so his main job was to check on the family from time to time and bring some water and close the door at night.

But he also said that he would report it tomorrow to see how the higher-ups would handle it. No one was willing to serve others, and eating became a trivial matter. Jia Zhang, who was sitting down, started to think for a rare time. It must be said that although Jia Zhang was a bad person, she was smart since she was young, otherwise how could she have been so successful in the courtyard and finally became the big winner in life.

She was the second person in the yard who noticed that the deaf old lady had an apartment. She needed to find out more about who the apartment belonged to.

Jiang Feng and He Yuzhu had no opinion on this. It didn't matter who raised the child, except for me. After hearing that the meeting was over, both families returned to the He family and talked about this matter.

Jiang Feng said: "These are none of our business, don't pay attention to them. Even if the street office comes, we should say that we are too busy at home. Don't make it a hot potato that you can't get rid of."

He Yuzhu nodded. He had no feelings for the deaf old lady. As for feelings, his relationship with Li Guilan seemed better. However, this matter was left by Li Guilan's divorce. He had told Li Xiaoyan and He Yushui about it.

Don’t talk about Li Guilan in the hospital, lest someone comes looking for her. She is a soft-hearted person, and it would be troublesome if she got involved with the deaf old lady.

Seeing that the work was almost done and everyone in the yard had dispersed, Jiang Feng took Xiaoxue to the front yard. It was still early, so they had to wait for people to come and fetch the things. He Yushui's things had been packed away, just some bedding, clothes and the like. The only thing was the dressing table, so Jiang Feng still found a place to pull it over.

Several people agreed on a statement and said that He Yushui's home was a bit far, so he rented a house near the school. It just so happened that his family was no longer big enough for him, and He Xiao was older, so they needed a separate room. The reason was a bit far-fetched, but it was fine as long as they could say it. It was up to you whether you believed it or not.

As expected, they were seen by Yan Fugui when they were moving things out. Jiang Feng was carrying the cabinet and talking as he walked. When they reached the gate, he had finished talking and handed Yan Fugui a cigarette. Jiang Feng, Zhao Xuelin and He Yushui got on their bicycles and ran away.

He Yuzhu's family did not go today, as they had to come back in the evening as they had to go to work tomorrow. Jiang Feng and Li Xiaoyan went there by bike and had no plans to come back in the evening. Yan Fugui had known for a long time that Jiang Feng had something to do outside and did not come home every weekend, but he always smoked other people's cigarettes, and it did not harm his own interests, so why bother to say anything.

The deaf old lady's case was reported to the street office the next day, and the street office also took it seriously. This was not an isolated case. During the war, many elderly people were left alone. Although the government could provide some subsidies;

However, some elderly people cannot move and have no ability to take care of themselves, so they can only rely on people nearby to take care of them. Some cannot find anyone to take care of them, so they can only be sent to nursing homes, where there are uniformly arranged personnel to take care of their eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, and it is free of charge.

However, there is a shortage of material resources in society now, and there is no good life in nursing homes. What's more, there are only old men and women there. What the lonely elderly people desire most is family affection and someone to take care of them, so they all seek help from nearby neighbors. Only those who really have no one willing to take over will be sent to nursing homes.

That evening, someone from the subdistrict office came to organize a meeting for the entire hospital. Director Wang did not come this time. Instead, he was accompanied by Deputy Director Huang and a secretary from the subdistrict. The secretary who previously managed this area had been transferred away due to the events surrounding Yi Zhonghai, and a new secretary, Liu, was appointed to be in charge of coordinating work with the uncle in charge of the hospital.

When they arrived at the courtyard, everyone recognized him. Wasn't this the man who often came to Jiang Feng and He Yuzhu's house? Liu Haizhong pushed Yan Fugui aside and rushed over, tightly holding Deputy Director Huang's hand and said, "Director Huang, hello. I am Liu Haizhong, the manager of the courtyard. Welcome to the courtyard to inspect our work."

Huang Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He let go of the hand he was holding and said, "Uncle Liu, I know you. You don't have to be so polite. I came here today on behalf of Director Wang to see what you are going to do with the care of Old Lady Long in your hospital."

After saying that, he also greeted Yan Fugui, who was also smiling happily behind him. Liu Haizhong brought Deputy Director Huang and Secretary Liu to the table and sat down. He asked the second aunt to pour two cups of tea and specifically told them to use the Gaopo that I had hidden. Huang Ming also saw Jiang Feng and He Yuzhu. Jiang Feng blinked, but Huang Ming ignored him.

Turning around and seeing that everyone in the courtyard had arrived, he clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. Today, Director Huang and Officer Liu from the Street Office are here to preside over this meeting. Their main purpose is to solve the future living problems of the old lady in the backyard. Please applaud and welcome them."

There was sparse applause in the yard. Liu Haizhong stood there and looked around. The applause gradually became more even.

Huang Ming winked at Secretary Liu, who said to Liu Haizhong, "Uncle Liu, please sit down first. I'll have a word."

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong waved his hand and said loudly, "Everyone be quiet and listen to what Officer Liu has to say."

After that, he smiled flatteringly at Officer Liu and sat down on the side. Officer Liu said to the people in the yard, "Today, the manager of your yard came to the street office and reported that the old lady in the backyard has no one to take care of her. We came here today to ask again, is there really no one in the yard willing to take care of the old lady?"

The yard was silent. Everyone knew that the deaf old lady could only take out some of the subsidies, which was just enough for living. Even if the elderly ate less, there would not be much profit. The main thing was to take care of her. If they failed to take good care of her, they would be branded as disrespectful to the elderly. No one was willing to step forward.

Secretary Liu looked around and saw that no one was talking to him, so he turned around and said a few words to Huang Ming. Huang Ming nodded, and Secretary Liu said, "Since the neighbors in the yard don't want to, old lady, the street has decided to send you to a nursing home. What do you think?"

When the deaf old lady heard that she was going to a nursing home, she panicked. She could still take advantage of her age in the nursing home, but when she got there, the people there might be older than her. Who would she sell herself to? She pursed her dry lips and looked at Yi Zhonghai for help.

Yi Zhonghai can hardly take care of himself now. He didn't realize it in the first few days because he was busy every day, but after Jia Dongxu was buried yesterday, he was alone at home and had to take care of all his food, clothing and shelter. He hasn't figured out how to live yet. He can only say that Li Guilan took too good care of him in the past. He can only keep his head down and not look at the old lady.

When Secretary Liu saw this, he could only repeat what he had just asked, and this time he added one more sentence: once you get there, the government will be responsible for everything, and all the family's real estate and property will become public property.

After this was said, some people in the courtyard became anxious. Not only did the deaf old lady not want to go, but the Jia family also did not want the old lady to go. However, Jia Zhang knew her reputation;

If someone says that the Jia family is responsible, whether the people in the courtyard believe it or not is one thing, but the deaf old lady will not be happy. She will find someone who is lazy and eats all day long to serve her, for fear that no one will know when she dies.

People in the yard started talking about it, but most people didn't have any ideas at the moment. They just thought that there was no one left at home and all their things had belonged to the country. It seemed that they still had to have children, otherwise what would they do when they got old and became like the old lady?

It was Jia Zhang who jumped out first. There was no other way. If she didn't speak up, the deaf old lady would be taken away and she would have no chance in the future. Jia Zhang said, "I am willing to take care of the old lady. What do you think, old lady?"

Before Liu Haizhong could turn around, Yan Fugui on the side heard Jia Zhang's voice and narrowed his eyes. He listened to the discussion below, clapped his hands, asked the crowd to quiet down first, and said a few words to Secretary Liu, who nodded.

Jia Zhang looked over and asked, "You are willing to take care of the old lady, why didn't you tell me when I asked you just now? As far as I know, your family is in financial difficulty now, and you are also receiving subsidies from the steel mill. How can you take good care of the old lady?"

Jia Zhang looked at everyone around her and said shamelessly: "Secretary Liu, I can't bear to see people alone. It's not as comfortable to send them to a nursing home as it is to live at home, and it will cause trouble for the government.

I originally thought that there would be someone willing to take care of her in the hospital, but I didn’t expect that no one in the hospital had a conscience. They all watched the old lady being sent away. I had no choice but to stand up. "

When the neighbors in the courtyard heard this, they were all shocked. If the person in front of them was not still Jia Zhang, they would have suspected that it was a different person. The Jia family was good at doing good things, and the sun would rise from the west.

Jiang Feng, Yan Fugui and the deaf old lady were the only ones in the yard who saw through Jia Zhang's plan. They didn't say anything earlier or later, but only told her when they were about to take her away. Who would believe it if she didn't have her eyes on the house?

Liu Haizhong was kept in the dark and knew nothing. The people in the courtyard were also not aware of the situation. Yi Zhonghai was busy with his own affairs. Only Yan Fugui knew that the deaf old lady's house was private property. However, Yan Fugui had his own calculations and would not tell them.

I had planned to let the deaf old lady consider it after this meeting. She would definitely not move to a nursing home so soon. I discussed with her privately that it was reasonable to exchange the house for retirement benefits. Otherwise, who would be willing to take care of an old lady with no relatives or friends?
