The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 310, Yi Zhonghai’s confusion

After dealing with Jia Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, when he returned home, Yi Zhonghai sat at the dining table and lit a cigarette, then he started to be dazed.

The cigarette between his fingers burned slowly, a wisp of smoke slowly floated up, and then dispersed in the wind.

As time passed by, Yi Zhonghai just sat there, motionless.

Yi Zhonghai didn't wake up from the burning pain until the cigarette burned out and burned his finger.

Seeing her wife's distraught appearance, the aunt felt very sad. She sighed deeply and blamed herself:

"Oh, Lao Yi, I'm the one who dragged you down. If I could give birth to a son and a half for you, our family wouldn't place our hopes on others and end up in this embarrassing situation." After finishing speaking, the aunt quietly Turned around and wiped away tears.

Over the years, because they have no children, the couple put most of their hopes on Jia Dongxu and invested a lot of time, energy, emotion and resources in him.

Now that they are watching Jia Dongxu grow up, the old couple also have certain security in their later years.

But in the blink of an eye, all her wishes came to nothing, which made her feel uncomfortable and blame herself.

Yi Zhonghai came back to his senses, shook his head, and comforted him: "Sigh, don't think about that. People have misfortunes and fortunes, and some things we can't control. We are still young and have a lot of time. I will think about it again." It works, don't worry."

"But who else can we look for now? Lao Yi, how about we go to the neighborhood committee to adopt a child?" the eldest mother suggested.

She was talking about those orphaned and widowed children who went to the city to flee famine and were temporarily placed in the compound of the neighborhood committee.

In the past two years, many people have fled to the city because of the famine. Many people brought their children to the city to find a way out, but they failed, leaving behind their children to die.

These parentsless children are currently placed in residential homes in the streets and neighborhood committees. Many of them are well-behaved, obedient and lovable.

The aunt doesn't have to go to work, so she often walks around with the neighbors at home. She knows a lot of news and has gone to see her. She is too eager to have a child of her own, so she is a little moved.

When Yi Zhonghai heard the words, his eyes flickered, and he was quite moved.

But when he thought of the children of Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui, he calmed down again.

He watched the children of Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui grow up, and he knew their conduct very well.

Especially Liu Guangqi, the boss of the old Liu family, can be said to have received all kinds of love from the family.

It turned out that such a favored and obedient child ran away with his wife carrying a bucket not long after getting married, and ransacked the family before leaving.

This gave him a great shock.

The old Liu family can even do this to their biological sons. Yi Zhonghai doesn't know if he can educate his children well, and he's not sure whether his adopted children will be filial to him in the future.

Adopting a child is costly and risky, and he really doesn't dare to gamble with the rest of his old couple's life.

It's okay if you win the bet, but if you lose the bet, it's really a bleak evening.

After thinking about it, Yi Zhonghai finally shook his head and refused: "Forget it about adoption. The risk is too great. I'll think of other ways."

The aunt naturally knew what he was worried about, and originally wanted to give him some advice, but when she thought about the uncertainty of adoption, she gave up after thinking about it.

In the end, helpless, the aunt could only sigh: "But what choice do we have now?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't speak, just sat there silently.

After a while, his eyes flashed, as if he remembered something, he turned his head and asked the aunt: "My wife, what do you think of Shazhu? Didn't you always mean Shazhu before?"

Yi Zhonghai had just searched his social network in his mind, and the younger generation in the courtyard would be Shazhu and Li Weiguo more suitable.

However, Li Weiguo already had a master and had a bright future. He felt that he couldn't grasp it, so he gave up.

Shazhu is a good choice, and he has laid some foundations in the early years.

For someone like Shazhu, it would be a good choice to train and guide them well.

The aunt was startled, then shook her head: "It might have been okay before, but it's hard to say now."

"Oh why?"

The eldest mother explained: "I also talked with the old lady when I had nothing to do. The old lady said that Silly Zhu is different from before after getting married. His wife is a smart girl."

Yi Zhonghai was silent.

In the past, his way of cultivating and guiding Shazhu was nothing more than small favors and moral restraints. This little trick worked well for Shazhu, a stupid and thick man, but it might not work for his daughter-in-law Peng Feiyan. That girl is shrewd. It's on.

If they want Sha Zhu to provide for the couple in their old age, it's not enough to just guide Sha Zhu, but Peng Feiyan has to nod.

Seeing his silence, the aunt suddenly thought about it and gave him an idea:
"Old Yi, why don't we ask the old lady? The old lady is old and sophisticated, she can judge people and things accurately, maybe she has some good ideas?"

"And we took over the task of the neighborhood committee to take care of the old lady's pension. The old lady also promised to help us and not let us lose our jobs. I think she can give us some pointers."

Yi Zhonghai heard what she said, and felt that it made sense. He was an old man with a lot of experience, so it would be good to ask the old lady for her opinion.

"Okay, I'll go to the old lady and ask."

Now that Jia Dongxu was gone, Yi Zhonghai was very confused, insecure, and felt empty. He simply didn't want to wait any longer, so he immediately found a raincoat and walked to the backyard in the pouring rain.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai put on a raincoat and hurried away, the first mother gritted her teeth, found a straw hat, and followed quickly in the rain.

The heavy rain outside the house never stopped, and the sky was completely dark at this time.

The back room, the old lady's house.

The old lady is leaning against the kerosene lamp at the moment, mending clothes by the dim light.

Suddenly, Yi Zhonghai and his wife knocked on the door in the heavy rain and came in. The old lady thought that something serious had happened, but when she heard what the couple had said, she felt a little helpless and emotional.

People know their destiny at fifty, and all they want is stability in the second half of their lives. Jia Dongxu suddenly disappeared, and she understands that the couple lost an inch.

The old lady pondered for a moment, then offered him some advice: "Zhong Hai, if you want to find a suitable retirement partner, Zhu Zi is indeed a good candidate, and I have no objection."

"However, if you want to choose a pillar, you'd better ask Weiguo what it means first."

"Why, old lady?"

The old lady explained: "Why, that kid from Weiguo doesn't like to get involved in the troubles in the courtyard. You chose Zhuzhu, which indirectly affected him."

"On the day of Shazhu's blind date, Wei Guo caught Xu Damao who was making trouble. You don't think Wei Guo doesn't know about your little thoughts, do you?"

"He just doesn't want to break you!"

After that, the old lady glared at him angrily, blaming him for doing something stupid for nothing.

Hearing the old lady mention this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but blush even though Yi Zhonghai was very rich. It's really embarrassing to instigate others to interfere with the junior's blind date and still be seen through.

"Then old lady, how should I ask about this?" Yi Zhonghai smiled awkwardly, and quickly changed the subject.

The old lady gave him a blank look, and said: "How else can I ask, of course I asked openly and honestly, if you want to get something, you have to give something, right?"

"Uh this."

Yi Zhonghai hesitated, the old lady's suggestion was pertinent, but it was not what he wanted.

He, an elder, ran to ask the younger generation if he could give him a retirement pension. It always felt like a high-stakes business, lacking a bit of sincerity.

If you talk about giving and rewarding, it's more like doing business with a price tag, which is not what he wants.

"This old lady, let me think about it first."

"Well, you guys should think about it first. If you think about it, talk about it. If you don't think about it, it's best not to make any small moves."

"Uh yes."

Yi Zhonghai and his wife left quickly. Looking at the two who were gone, the old lady shook her head meaningfully, and then sighed again.
