Jiang Feng sat at the table in deep thought. The drama always said that an aunt couldn't have children, but as a senior Tomato fan, he had read no less than a hundred Siheyuan novels, and many of them said that an uncle couldn't have children. Otherwise, with how much they wanted children, how could they stay together forever?

"It should be the aunt. She has been saying this for so many years. I heard that they had a good relationship since I was a child. Now more than ten years have passed. It's too late for Yi Zhonghai to divorce now. Besides, isn't it a woman's problem if she can't have children?"

"No, they want a child so badly. If Yi Zhonghai was in good health, he could just find someone who could give birth. The child would have been born by now. This is not right. There are problems on both sides. Who says it is the woman's fault? Going to the hospital for a check-up is the right thing to do. Maybe there is still a chance. I will handle this matter. You don't have to worry about it. You have to find out the actual situation before deciding what to do next."

"Don't do anything rash. If Auntie really divorces Yi Zhonghai, it will be a big blow to her. At the very least, her future life will be in trouble."

"What's the problem? If it's really Yi Zhonghai's problem, then he is sorry to Auntie and he has deceived her for so many years. Even if they get divorced, the couple will share the property. We will still have you and me in the future, right? It's okay."

"Really? Divorce means you can divide up your property, but what about the house?"

"All right, but there's no rush. It's still early. We need to find a way to get Auntie out for a checkup, and then we can talk about the rest later. Anyway, didn't the deaf old lady ask you to interact with Auntie? Look for an opportunity and have a chat. When Auntie comes home, I'll tell you."

He Yuzhu thought about it and nodded, then decided not to tell Yu Shui for now and talk about it when the matter is settled.

Jiang Feng didn't say anything more, and went to the kitchen, took out the chicken soup and put it on the cupboard, and said to He Yuzhu: "I'm going to go out for a walk, and I'll be back for dinner in the evening. You can just watch and cook. There is fish at home, and I put the soup in the cupboard."

He Yuzhu was getting a headache from thinking about these things. He didn't even think about where the soup was when he was washing the dishes. He just responded and turned around and ran to the inner room to sleep. If he couldn't figure it out, he shouldn't think about it. He would be fine after a good sleep anyway. He should let his cousin do all the brainstorming.

After Jiang Feng went out, he looked at He Yushui. The door was closed, so she was probably asleep. He didn't call her. He went to his room, pushed his bicycle, and went out towards the library.

It was steaming hot all the way. It was already August and the weather in the old city had been extremely hot. Fortunately, there was not much physical work to do. He Yuzhu, who was in the kitchen, had to take a shower and change clothes every day. Jiang Feng and the others were better off. They could stay at home and still take a shower every day, but they just had to fetch water to wash at home.

There were not many people on the road at this time, and the leaves on the roadside were drooping and looked listless. After riding for more than half an hour, Jiang Feng arrived at the library. After parking the car, as soon as he arrived at the door of the library, he felt a cool breeze rushing in. Jiang Feng thought he had returned to an air-conditioned shopping mall in the future. When he went in, he saw that the library had two floors, with an empty space in the middle. It was similar to the layout of a modern duplex building, with a height of about six or seven meters from the ground to the roof, and it was covered with green tiles. The first floor must be cooler.

Jiang Feng walked to the reception desk: "Hello, I want to borrow a few books and would like to know where these books are."

The receptionist was a girl in her twenties, who was reading a book. When she heard the voice, she raised her head and said, "Hello, comrade. What book do you want to borrow?"

"It's a book about the basics of electrical engineering. I want to borrow it to read."

"Well, then go up to the second floor, turn left after exiting the stairs, and look for bookshelf No. 32. All the electrical engineering books are there."

"Okay, thank you comrade."

Jiang Feng always felt a little uncomfortable every time he called someone comrade. He thought about the meaning of "comrade" in later generations. It's just that in this era, people call strangers "little comrade" or "female comrade" and so on. But until now, Jiang Feng is still not used to it and is embarrassed to call others comrade.

He went up to the second floor and searched along the bookshelves row by row. He stopped at book number 32 and picked up the catalog hanging on the bookshelf to have a look. Following the instructions in the catalog, he quickly found several books such as Basic Electrician Encyclopedia and Introduction to Junior Electrician. Jiang Feng flipped them open and found that the books were relatively old and seemed to be read by many people.

Holding the book, Jiang Feng went downstairs, thinking that it was still early, he sat in the hall and first picked up the Basic Electrical Engineering Encyclopedia to read. Based on Jiang Feng's memory of electrical engineering, this Basic Electrical Engineering Encyclopedia was a book for first graders in elementary school. As long as one had been to school, one would be able to do the first grade questions. Jiang Feng read it quickly and flipped through the Elementary Electrical Engineering book, which was about the same as the fifth grade textbook.

After flipping through the two books, more than two hours had passed. Jiang Feng looked at the time, stood up and walked to the reception desk, handing in his library card. Don't ask, he is a high school student and an intellectual, so how could he not have a library card? It's just that Jiang Feng is lazy and comes less often.

The person at the reception desk took the library card, registered a few books, and said to Jiang Feng, "How long do you want to borrow them for?"

Jiang Feng said, "Let's borrow it for fifteen days. That should be enough."

"Fifteen days is the maximum period for a book. If you borrow so many books at once and can't finish reading them in time, you will still be charged when the time comes."

"It's okay. I read fast and take notes fast. It's no problem. Just help me register."

"Okay, if it's more than fifteen days, I'll charge you five cents for each day you spend reading it. You have to remember the time, and if you can't finish reading it, remember to return it. You can borrow it again after you return it."

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

Jiang Feng picked up the book and library card and walked outside. When he came out of the library, a heat wave still hit him. Jiang Feng pushed his bicycle and rode towards the courtyard. There were more and more people on the way. It was the people in the factory who were getting off work. Jiang Feng looked around while riding his bicycle. There were people wearing blue work clothes everywhere. Although their faces were sallow, everyone's eyes were full of spirit. These were the masters of the country. Their inherent spirit was different from those people in later generations who were blessed by the 996 work schedule. There was a slogan in line with this era on the red brick wall he passed by, and some walls had the words of teachers written on them.

At this time, Jiang Feng was the most handsome guy on the street. He was tall, handsome, and rode a bicycle. The most important thing was that he was young. Jiang Feng was only 19 years old. Some unmarried girls in the factory looked at him with blushing faces, and some married girls also pointed at Jiang Feng, making Jiang Feng very uncomfortable. He quickly sped up and rushed over like a fly.

When those young girls and wives saw Jiang Feng running away, bursts of silver bell-like laughter echoed on the way home from get off work. Jiang Feng, who was standing in front, heard the laughter behind him and couldn't help but grin and laugh silently.

When Jiang Feng returned to the courtyard, everyone had returned from get off work. Yan Fugui was standing at the door. When he saw Jiang Feng riding his bike over, he hurried forward to help lift the back seat. Jiang Feng was a little flattered. This teacher Yan had never helped him lift the bike before. Sometimes he was not at home because he was at work, but when he was at home, he would basically just glance at each other. At most, they would just nod and say hello to each other.

"Thank you, Uncle. I can do it myself."

"It's okay, it's okay. We're neighbors in the same courtyard. It's just a small favor." The third uncle said, looking at the book in Jiang Feng's hand, and then said to Jiang Feng: "Yes, you still need to study more. The teacher said: You can skip meals and sleep, but you can't skip reading for a day. You are a high school student and an intellectual. Now that you are on vacation, you can't relax yourself."

"Yes, yes, what the Third Uncle said is right, that's what I thought. I'm going to borrow some books from the library and study more on my own."

"What book did you borrow? Go see if Third Uncle has it. If he does, you won't have to run so far next time. You can just go to Third Uncle's house and get it." When Yan Fugui said this, the bookish aura emanated from him. In the entire compound, Yan Fugui was the only intellectual, and he had the most books at home.

Jiang Feng looked at Yan Fugui like this, and was a little bit confused for a moment, but he still said, "It's a book about electrical engineering. Does Third Uncle have any at home?"

Yan Fugui's face turned red all of a sudden. He thought it was a collection of essays or a high school book. Although he had never been to high school, Yan Fugui was still ambitious. He specially got a set of books and put them at home. Firstly, he could read them to study, and secondly, he could save face from time to time. At least I can understand them. How could I have expected that Jiang Feng was reading a technical book? He was really at a loss.

He said, "Oh, I don't have this. This is a technical book, not related to our profession. If you want to read it, I can ask other people. There are so many teachers in my school, there must be someone who studies this kind of book."

Seeing Yan Fugui being squeezed, Jiang Feng offered a way out: "These are for learning technology. My grades are not very good now, so I can't go to university. I still have one year left, so I might as well learn a technology. I went to the library to borrow some basic books to read."

"Yes, if you can't get into college now, you might as well learn a skill. Workers are the big brothers now. If you learn it, you will be a technical talent when you enter the factory in the future."

"Yes, I thought so too. Uncle, please go ahead and do your work. I'll go in first."

After saying that, Jiang Feng pushed the car to the door, parked and locked it, took the book in, and after coming out, he went straight to the middle courtyard. It was almost time for dinner.

However, Yan Fugui's actions today have reminded Jiang Feng. It seems that after several general meetings, seeing that he cannot bring Jiang Feng down, our third uncle is now starting to show goodwill. Yan Fugui did not do so after the first general meeting. He probably still had ideas about the He family's house. After these few times, including sending Jia Zhang back, Yan Fugui's ideas are probably gone, and he is ready to change his ways and take advantage of it.
