The Prosperous Years of Siheyuan

Chapter 228 The Old Guy's Calculations
After a new project was given to the rolling mill, Chen Jisheng was free again.

The only thing I was busy with was helping Shi Gang find the formula and parameters of spring steel.

In Krupp's information, there are seven or eight recipes. After discussing with Mr. An, Shigang chose the simplest recipe.

The simplest recipe is also the cheapest.

Some special spring steels are somewhat overkill.

In recent days, the relationship between the Chen family and the third uncle's family across the street has also improved dramatically.

After the eldest couple of the Yan family went to work, Lao Yan was really relieved.

Although both of them are temporary workers, Yan Jiecheng earns more, and Yu Li has more opportunities.

Within a few days of working, Yu Li was already able to make money by flipping some tickets at her workplace.

Although part of the money spent on the tickets went to Yu Li's husband's family.

But the third uncle likes to hear this, and if he leaves it to his family, his life will be much easier.

For this reason, the third uncle's schedule has been changed a bit. He wakes up early every day to say hello to Chen Jisheng who buys breakfast.

This will also deepen the relationship between the two families. There are three children at home.

If there is a little leakage on the Chen family's side, the work of the three children will be solved.

In recent days, the first man’s family has been going out frequently.

I heard from the third uncle that the deaf old lady in the backyard also went out a few times.

Chen Jisheng also had a rough guess as to what the uncle's family was busy with.

Apparently he couldn't stand the pressure from the factory and wanted to adopt a child.

Otherwise, given the reclusive life of the elder, the deaf old lady would only move around the courtyard.

They rarely go out all year round. If they go out frequently, they can only be looking for people.

The old man adopts the child, and the deaf old lady is involved, which is also strange.

But the prospects are always good, and Chen Jisheng has nothing to worry about.

They are all ordinary people, so they don't go out to plan any earth-shattering events.

But the outcome of the matter was somewhat beyond Chen Jisheng's expectations.

I thought the elder would adopt a boy, but unexpectedly, a few elders went out and adopted a girl.

And she is not a little girl, but a 15-year-old child.

Looking at the thin girl named Yi Xiaoqing brought by the first uncle, Chen Jisheng looked at the first uncle suspiciously.

Isn't this old guy going out to be a human trafficker?

Looking at the adoption procedures in front of him, Chen Jisheng was speechless.

But I can't figure out the first man's intentions.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Qing is a child from the countryside.

I stopped going to junior high school because my children are older.

If you go to junior high school at this age, it will be easy for other children to laugh at you.

Your two younger siblings are doing very well in school.

You're a little tired, can you help me with my homework? "

Listening to the elder's explanation, Chen Jisheng turned his attention to the thin Yi Xiaoqing.

The little girl is dark and thin, obviously malnourished.

There is a beautiful woman between her eyebrows. This is probably the reason why the deaf old lady often goes out.

Without in-depth experience, it is difficult to tell whether a child aged [-] or [-] will be beautiful or ugly in the future.

"Xiaoqing, right? Call Big Brother Chen, and the matter will be settled."

Seeing the rough back of Yi Xiaoqing's hand with old cracks, Chen Ji felt compassion.

This is a laceration caused by freezing from starching clothes in winter and is difficult to heal.

Due to malnutrition, Yi Xiaoqing's hands are very slender.

Thinking of his younger brothers and sisters who eat meat every day, it's hard for Chen Jisheng not to feel sympathy.

As for luring wolves into the house, a child in his teens is not like him, so it is difficult to be regarded as a wolf.

"Brother Chen."

He called out and bowed, with hope in his eyes, but a little timidly.

"Okay, let's go inside.

Xiaoxue, I found a friend for you to help you with your high school courses.

Xiaoqing, have dinner at my house at noon. "

Seeing Yi Xiaoqing entered the house in a restrained manner and was ushered into the main room by his younger sister Chen Xue, Chen Jisheng turned his head to look at Lao Yi.

"Master, how much did you pay for it?

Can the house be kept flat? "

Staring closely into the eyes of the first man, Chen Jisheng quickly got what he wanted.

The calculations of the old guys are still deep. Yi Xiaoqing is almost the same as Xi Shi.

Regardless of whether he came for Cholera's own backyard, there must be a conspiracy between Lao Yi and the deaf old lady.

Ren Laojian and Ma Laohua have both come from old age.

Especially the deaf old lady, who seems to have settled in the backyard from beginning to end.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Qing's family doesn't have enough to eat.

She is the third eldest child in a family of more than ten children, and she has to live a miserable life every two days.

I thought, instead of finding a son, it would be better to find a son-in-law.

I left 300 yuan and [-] kilograms of food stamps at her home.

It is also her blessing that you have a affinity with her. "

After roughly listening to Lao Yi's explanation, Chen Jisheng also roughly understood the scheme of the two old guys.

As long as the Chen family was in the courtyard for a day, Lao Yi had to be obedient even if he adopted a boy.

When it comes to getting a girl, as long as she looks good, and with a little manipulation, Chen Jisheng really has to support Lao Yi.

This idea probably came from the deaf old lady, and the old guy had a very vicious look.

I guess this deaf old lady also comes from a wealthy family, otherwise she wouldn't be able to pull off such a trick.

"It's done, the deputy director of the workshop will come down in the next two days, it's official.

But there is one thing, the training of young workers, let’s see how the second uncle does it. "

Many things don't need to be explained, and explanations are useless.

It's impossible to say that the uncle doesn't know some of his bad things.

Chen Jisheng didn't care about this and reluctantly accepted the first master's letter of nomination.

One thing, Chen Jisheng also made it clear, is that this is exchanged, not earned by one's own ability.

"Xiao Qing, please take care of me."

After the words were understood, Lao Yi didn't stay long and left with brisk steps.

"Third brother, come here." Lao Yi left. Chen Jisheng did not rush into the room but called the third child of the Zhang family.

In recent days, the third son of the Zhang family has also moved his position. When he has nothing to do, he is always in the main room, looking at the information that Gu Ting brought back.

Many data materials are boring, and Chen Xiaobao is dizzy looking at them.

But the third child of the Zhang family watched it with gusto.

"Brother Chen, what's the matter?"

Seeing the gleam slowly growing in the eyes of the third child of the Zhang family, Chen Jisheng nodded.

"You can read as much information as you want. Your second brother may have to rely on you in the future.

Make rice porridge at noon, add some green vegetables and diced ham to it. "

After giving the task to Zhang Chong, the eldest son of the Zhang family, Chen Jisheng waved to the main house.

The second sister walked along the corridor in the mansion and went to the inverted room.

Chen Jisheng also got up and returned to the sitting room.

"Ji Sheng, what does the uncle mean?"

The second sister, Chen Baohong, frowned. Although Xueba didn't have deep thoughts, he was not out of it.

It's just that I didn't focus on scheming people.

“The child bride he gave me was named his adopted daughter, the son of a deaf old lady in the backyard.

In order to maintain their right to speak in the courtyard, but also to provide for their retirement. "

At the age of 15, he is already considered an adult, he knows the difference between love and hatred, and knows how to distinguish right from wrong.

Based on the old man's calculations, he really wants to find an adopted daughter who can recruit a son-in-law. Seven or eight years old is considered too old.

At the age of 15, that is pushing one's family property out.

Chen Jisheng didn't need to think about it to know that some property of Lao Yi's family had already been withdrawn from the passbook.

Either hiding with the deaf old lady, or hiding in a hidden part of their house.

"You guys really treat people like they're not human beings."

He glanced at his younger brother in disgust, these really touched the bottom line of Chen Baohong, an idealist.

Yi Xiaoqing is a very good girl, but being treated like a commodity is more than she can accept.

"You are wrong again, this is a life-changing opportunity for Yi Xiaoqing.

See how thin she looks?

If she eats well and is able to go to school, is she uglier than Xiaoxue?

Look at her hands. They are cracks left by washing clothes in ice water at subzero temperatures.

It takes her two days to eat one steamed bun.

She is now fifteen, maybe when she reaches eighteen, it's time to get married, and she still looks like this.

The conditions at home are not good and it is difficult to find a suitable home.

After getting married, we may still have a steamed bun every two days.

After being hungry for a long time, her body will be exhausted, and she may die at the age of 40 or [-].

Or maybe she will die while giving birth, who knows?
I can give her too much, do you think I should send her home?

I have this ability. "

After listening to what his third brother Chen Jisheng said, Chen Baohong was a little at a loss.

She definitely shouldn't be sent back, but what my brother said was too out of touch with reality.

"It's not difficult now. How can you eat one steamed bun in two days?"

Rationality is Chen Baohong's last stubbornness, her younger brother is used to lying to women.

It’s better not to be deceived by him. I’m not one of those stupid women.

"Lao Yi said that she has a dozen children in her family, and she is the third.

She is fifteen this year, and her younger brothers and sisters should range from three or four to more than ten years old.

Children who get married in such a family will never come back.

No family is rich, and ordinary people cannot afford to support more than ten children.

How many rations are there for two or three or four adults? Calculate according to your ration.

On average, if more than ten people share these rations, how much can one person get?

In addition to food, there are also necessary condiments such as oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar.

In addition to the cost of illness, school also needs money.

Do the math, how much rations can she get?

You can take her to take a bath later and see if her ribs and sternum can be clearly seen.

Maybe you will see Lu Chai Stick in reality.

This is a matter of rational analysis. Your so-called rationality is somewhat naive.

Okay, take her to wash up and change her clothes. "

After beating his second sister, Chen Jisheng sighed softly.

It is true that one cannot die from hunger, but it is also true that one cannot have enough to eat.

Three or four children are easy to fool, and a dozen or so children are a tiresome burden.

Although Lao Yi had bad intentions, he still did a good thing.

300 yuan and [-] catties of food stamps are enough to change a family.

"Only you are a good person and you are thoughtful, you bastard!"

Once again, I was severely beaten and my self-confidence was frustrated.

This time Chen Baohong did not shed tears, but fought back tenaciously.

“When you see her ribs, hold back and don’t shed tears.

Don't let her feel that you are pitying her and pity her.

When asking her to change clothes, be a little more arrogant and say that she is afraid of lice.

She is still a little girl, not like Widow Qin or Yu Li. If you pity her, it will cast a shadow on her.

Yi Xiaoqing, the way you look at her is restrained, but very strong.

Don't destroy other people's strength because of your ignorance. "

Chen Baohong, who thought she had a good way to fight back, was stunned by what her third brother said.

Looking back at the nasty third brother, he seemed to be really useless.

"You are such a bastard, a bastard who plays with people's hearts. Why do your parents..."

Seeing that the third brother Chen Jisheng's face was a little gloomy, if it was too serious, Chen Baohong would not be able to continue speaking.

Taking a hard look at her younger brother who kept beating her, Chen Baohong squeezed her fist hard, waiting to find out what was wrong.

Looking at the second sister who left angrily, Chen Jisheng smiled, it was really the right time for Yi Xiaoqing to appear.

You can teach your second sister and younger sister a good lesson.
