Siheyuan: I live next door to Xu Damao, my last name is Cao

After Qin Huairu left, Auntie Yi Zhonghai sat in the yard and started chatting.

The topics they talked about revolved around some things that happened in the yard during Yi Zhonghai's time at the police station.

The first thing mentioned was Liu Haizhong’s convening of a full-institute meeting.

Liu Haizhong tried to elect a new Third Uncle in this way, but ultimately failed.

Then they talked about Qin Huairu's family situation.

A few days ago, Banggeng had a conflict with his father Jia Dongxu and overturned his father's bed.

As a result, Jia Dongxu had to sleep in the cold weather and almost died.

After several days of infusion treatment, Jia Dongxu's condition improved slightly, but his physical condition became worse and worse.

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction with Banggeng's behavior.

Yi Zhonghai frowned and said, "This joke is too much. He is so unfilial to his father. He is really nothing."

"Who isn't like that? Bang Geng was just spoiled by Jia Zhang. If it weren't for Jia Zhang, Bang Geng would never have become like that."

"Oh, how pitiful! Qin Huairu had a hard time too. She was such a good daughter-in-law, but she met a wicked mother-in-law who made things difficult for her all day long. She was really pitiful."

The aunt sighed heavily, her tone full of sympathy and pity for Qin Huairu, and spoke slowly.

Yi Zhonghai also shook his head, sighed deeply, and echoed: "Yes, Qin Huairu is indeed a pitiful person. I'll go see Dongxu, this child is miserable enough."

There was a hint of sadness and helplessness in his eyes.

"Of course, we should go and have a look. Come on, boss, I'll go with you. I haven't seen Dongxu for a few days."

The aunt nodded quickly, and as she spoke, she stood up and prepared to go together.

"Old lady, take those eggs you bought with you."

Yi Zhonghai pointed to the basket of eggs and said.

Those were the eggs that an old lady had bought in advance at the market. She bought nearly thirty eggs. She had just fried a few to welcome Yi Zhonghai, and there were still about twenty left.

"Isn't that a bit too much?"

An auntie said with a frown.

This time she was ruthless and bought so much at once.

If it's just for one meal, everything will be sent to Jia Dongxu's home.

Although the aunt sympathized with Jia Dongxu's family, the eggs were not cheap and she was a little reluctant to give them up.

"You can buy some more after you give it away. It's not much. Their family is going through a difficult time. We should help them."

Yi Zhonghai persuaded.

An old lady took out twenty of them and placed them carefully in the basket.

Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai walked in front carrying the eggs, and the old lady walked behind.

............

Yi Zhonghai and an old lady carried baskets and walked briskly to Jia Dongxu's house opposite.

Both of them had friendly smiles on their faces, as if they were visiting their relatives.

"Dongxu, Qin Huairu, we are here to visit you."

Yi Zhonghai stood at the door and greeted everyone in his steady and gentle voice.

His tone revealed a concern and thoughtfulness that made people feel particularly warm.

Qin Huairu's slightly tired voice came from inside the house: "Uncle, it's you, please come in."

As she spoke, she walked out of the house carrying a kettle, opened the door, and invited an old man and an old woman in.

When she saw Yi Zhonghai bringing an old lady with him, a grateful smile appeared on her face.

This smile is as warm as the winter sun, but it also carries a hint of sadness that cannot be hidden.

Perhaps it was the pressure of life that made it impossible for her to completely get rid of her worries, but when she saw the two elders at this moment, her mood seemed to be somewhat comforted.

"An auntie is here too. Please come in, please come in."

Qin Huairu invited them warmly, and at the same time was busy pulling chairs for them and pouring tea, showing her virtuous appearance.

Although her movements were a little hurried, every detail reflected her respect and concern for the two elders.

Although Qin Huairu had just come out of Yi Zhonghai's house, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help feeling emotional when he saw her slightly tired face and the kettle in her hand.

He thought to himself, Qin Huairu really has good intentions in doing this!

After the two of them sat down, Yi Zhonghai handed the basket to Qin Huairu and said softly, "Huairu, please accept these eggs. They are all for Dongxu to replenish his body."

Qin Huairu saw that there were at least a dozen eggs in the basket, and she panicked immediately. She waved her hand and said, "Oh, I dare not accept such a valuable thing."

These eggs were undoubtedly a considerable expense for them, and she was really embarrassed to accept this kindness.

However, Yi Zhonghai insisted that she accept it, and explained: "This is a little gift from me and your aunt, so don't refuse it. Besides, Dongxu is my apprentice, and there is nothing wrong with me, as a master, coming to visit my apprentice and bringing some gifts."

Yi Zhonghai said this while waving his arms, as if to emphasize his determination.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu could only sigh helplessly and said gratefully: "Okay, since you said so, I won't refuse anymore. Thank you, uncle, I appreciate your kindness."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded, then continued: "In fact, we didn't bring any special gifts. We just hope that Dongxu can recover as soon as possible, so we brought some eggs to nourish his body."

When Qin Huairu heard this, she was also slightly moved and her eyes turned slightly red.

She knew in her heart that it was just a show.

After all, this kind of thing was already a piece of cake for her.

Yi Zhonghai knew that since Dongxu's accident, their family's financial situation had plummeted.

Qin Huairu only earns 18.5 yuan a month. If it weren't for the subsidy left by Jia Dongxu, she would probably have difficulty maintaining even basic living.

Therefore, as a master, Yi Zhonghai would naturally do his best to help his apprentice and his family.

"Thank you, Master, and thank you, Auntie."

Qin Huairu's voice was choked with sobs, but she still took the egg and put it aside carefully.

"How is Dongxu?" asked an aunt with concern.

"Actually... the lower body is still the same, nothing has changed. Dongxu has been lying in bed and can't do rehabilitation training. He was sick a while ago and is not in good health now."

Qin Huairu answered softly, with helplessness and worry in her eyes, and forced a smile.

"Hey, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, this kind of thing needs to be done slowly." Yi Zhonghai looked up at Jia Dongxu in the inner room and said comfortingly.

"Huai Ru, don't work too hard. Rest when you need to. You are the pillar of the family now, you can't fall down."

An aunt also added.

Qin Huairu nodded: "I understand, uncle."

"Well, okay, I'll go see Dongxu again."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai sat up from the bench and walked into the inner room.

Qin Huairu couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, she was afraid that Jia Dongxu would tell Yi Zhonghai all about his affairs, which would be a bit troublesome.

But when Qin Huairu turned around, she saw a stick next to it, and her eyes lit up instantly.

"Bang Geng, go get some water for your dad and let him get up and drink some water."

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu lying on the bed and gave instructions softly.

After hearing what his mother said, Banggeng felt a little reluctant.

Because of the conflict with his father Jia Dongxu some time ago, their relationship is very strained, so he is unwilling to serve him.

But because of his mother's majesty, he dared not disobey her orders.

Banggeng could only walk to the bed obediently and pick up the cup of water on the table.

"Dad, drink some water."

Banggeng held the cup of water and carefully handed it to Jia Dongxu's mouth.

Qin Huairu naturally followed him, but she just moved her legs slightly and was tripped by the stick.

The steaming hot water in his hand also flew out.

"Ah!" With a scream, the hot water spilled accurately on Jia Dongxu's body.

A large amount of water mist rose up instantly, Jia Dongxu's body was burned, and he let out a shrill scream.

This was the hot water that Qin Huairu had just boiled. Although it had been left out for a while, the water temperature was still very high, so Jia Dongxu's expression became very distorted and painful.

Jia Dongxu almost jumped three feet high, but luckily he was disabled and his lower body couldn't move at all, so he couldn't jump.

"Bang Geng, do you really want to burn your dad to death?" Jia Dongxu shouted angrily.

Qin Huairu pretended nothing had happened, quickly picked up a rag from the side, and began to wipe Jia Dongxu's face and body.

As she wiped it, she said softly, "Don't be angry, Dongxu. Banggeng didn't do it on purpose."

Qin Huairu's tone was full of concern and tenderness, as if she was trying her best to calm Jia Dongxu's anger.

However, in reality, the stick terrier is indeed innocent.

Just now, Qin Huairu suddenly stretched out her foot and tripped the stick to the ground.

If it weren't for this fall, nothing would have happened to Bang Geng.

Qin Huairu knew this very well, because only those who wronged others truly understood how wronged they were.

Bang Geng felt very aggrieved, tears welled up in his eyes: "I just accidentally tripped over something, I really didn't mean to do that."

As he spoke, he searched around on the ground, trying to find what had tripped him.

At this time, Banggeng still behaved very well. After all, Yi Zhonghai and the aunt were present, and he didn't dare to show too much emotion in front of outsiders.

Although he is still young, he already knows how to read the adults' expressions and act accordingly.

"It's okay. It's not your fault. It's okay. It's my fault. I shouldn't have let Banggeng carry the water."

Qin Huairu said this self-reproachfully while gently wiping Jia Dongxu's face and neck, her eyes full of heartache and guilt.

Of course, this was performed for Yi Zhonghai.

Jia Dongxu cursed and said two more good jokes: "He is incapable of achieving anything, but always capable of causing trouble."

His voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction, and he seemed very disappointed with Bang Terrier's behavior.

However, he did not realize that his attitude also made Qin Huairu feel sad and helpless.

At this moment, Jia Dongxu suddenly discovered that the rag Qin Huairu was using was the diaper he had used last time when he pulled his trouser pocket.

There were still urine stains on the diaper that had not been washed away.

As soon as he saw this thing, Jia Dongxu thought of the last fight with Banggeng.

Jia Dongxu suddenly felt nauseous. He widened his eyes and looked at Qin Huairu in disbelief, and the anger in his heart instantly burst out.

"Qin Huairu, are you stupid? You used a diaper to wipe me, and there was shit on it, and you actually used it to wipe my mouth and face."

Jia Dongxu's voice was unusually loud, full of anger and disgust.

He couldn't accept this fact and felt greatly insulted.

Qin Huairu was frightened by Jia Dongxu's roar. Her face turned pale and tears welled up in her eyes.

She lowered her head and explained softly: "I...I don't know...I'm sorry..."

Qin Huairu's voice trembled, filled with endless grievance and helplessness.

Jia Dongxu ignored Qin Huairu's apology and continued to scold loudly: "You idiot, you can't even do this! How can you take care of me? Are you deliberately trying to make me uncomfortable?"

His words were like a knife, piercing Qin Huairu's heart.

Qin Huairu shed tears silently, she didn't know how to respond to Jia Dongxu's scolding.

She knew she made a mistake, but she did it on purpose.

Qin Huairu was secretly delighted and thought, go ahead and keep arguing.

Let the anger be more intense.

This way she will have even more of an advantage.

By then, you will have a better chance of getting a divorce.

Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't say anything, Jia Dongxu became even angrier. He pointed at Qin Huairu's nose and scolded, "What are you still doing here? Change a clean cloth for me! Quickly!"

His tone was full of command and impatience.

Qin Huairu nodded quickly and turned to look for new cloth.

Her movements were a little flustered, as if she was afraid of angering Jia Dongxu again.

After Qin Huairu found a clean cloth, she quickly returned to the bedside and carefully wiped Jia Dongxu.

Seeing her neck and face all red, Qin Huairu was delighted.

Jia Dongxu looked at Qin Huairu with disdain, muttering, "I'm so unlucky to marry a stupid woman like you."

There was a hint of disappointment and dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Qin Huairu silently endured Jia Dongxu's scolding, and Yi Zhonghai next to her couldn't stand it anymore.

"Okay, Dongxu, stop talking."

Yi Zhonghai said with some dissatisfaction.

After wiping her body, Qin Huairu put the dirty cloth aside and prepared to wash it.

She lowered her head, not daring to look into Jia Dongxu's eyes, for fear of causing his dissatisfaction again.

Qin Huairu said softly: "I'll go wash these."

With that, she left the room.

"Dongxu, don't be so angry. Banggeng is still young and he didn't mean it. Why are you so fierce? No wonder he is so distant from you. If parents are unkind, children will be unfilial. As a father, you need to set a good example for your children first."

"Besides, Qin Huairu has worked so hard to serve you at home, so don't complain about it. All cloths are different, not to mention that this has been washed."

Yi Zhonghai taught.
