Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

Chapter 71 Yi Zhonghai Comes to See You

Not long after the meal, Pei Guang's office welcomed an unexpected visitor.

When he opened the door and looked at Yi Zhonghai outside, with a smile on his face, Pei Guang couldn't help but get goose bumps.

"Uncle, you have something to talk to me about, come in and tell me."

Yi Zhonghai was not polite either. This was his first time in Pei Guang's office. After sitting down on the sofa, he looked around and couldn't help feeling envious.

This life is so comfortable!

Although he was an eighth-level fitter, his work was relatively easy on weekdays, and he occasionally guided his apprentices in their work, and only took action when there were major problems. But compared with Pei Guang, he was a little pale in comparison.

At this time, he found a book on the sofa, with the words "Outline of Typhoid Fever" printed on the cover. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiao Guang, are you still interested in medicine?"

Pei Guang followed his gaze and said he was just taking a look.

"Uncle, if you have something to say, just tell me. After all, everyone is very busy."

Yi Zhonghai sorted out his thoughts and said, "I came here today to talk to you about the situation in the courtyard. Some residents have large families, and their lives will be difficult if the quota is reduced.

Pei Guang didn't say anything, just waited quietly for his next words.

"For example, the Jia family in the courtyard has three adults and two children. They are short of food. Do you think there is any way to help them?"

Pei Guang almost laughed. Yi Zhonghai, are you sure you are not here to tell a joke?

In fact, the Jia family's situation is already better than most people's, and they will not starve to death even if they eat sparingly.

"First uncle, there are people in the courtyard who are in a more difficult situation than the Jia family, such as Third uncle's family. I think you should treat them equally."

Yi Zhonghai felt embarrassed when he heard this. Wasn't this an accusation that he was biased towards the Jia family for his own selfish desires?

Although this is indeed the case, it is too direct and does not even give him any face.

If he hadn't been helpless, he wouldn't want to ask others for help.

Jia Dongxu came to talk to him last night. After discussing the situation at home, Yi Zhonghai couldn't think of a solution.

In the early morning, the master and his apprentice went to the black market and found out that the current food prices were rising rapidly. The price of Beijing food coupons had reached 1 yuan per catty, and the price of rice was 5 yuan per catty, which had increased several times.

And looking at the current situation, prices will continue to rise, which is really worrying.

The Jia family had such a huge food shortage. Jia Dongxu's monthly salary was 45 yuan. Even if he ate coarse grains all the time, it would not be enough to make up for it. No matter how frugal he was, he would still go hungry. If it lasted for a long time, he would have health problems.

While he is taking care of his own family, he has done his best by giving a little subsidy.

After hearing Jia Dongxu's desire to ease the relationship with Pei Guang, Yi Zhonghai immediately understood his disciple's idea. This was also a good idea, which led to his visit today.

Facing Pei Guang's sarcasm, Yi Zhonghai laughed awkwardly and said, "Didn't the Third Uncle's family ask for help? Maybe they can find a way to solve it themselves.

"Now the Jia family has come to me for help. I am unable to take care of myself, and I thought that with your ability, you should be able to help a little."

Pei Guang rolled his eyes silently. Yan Fugui had no idea what to do. There were many people in the courtyard who were worse off than the Jia family.

He could understand Yi Zhonghai's thoughts. If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

After all, that's what he did himself, giving priority to helping people he was close to.

Pei Guang said with a gloomy face: "Uncle, you haven't forgotten what Jia Zhang said when my mother passed away."

"If I had any blood in my veins, I would not help my enemies."

"Don't tell me anything like peace is the most precious thing, peace brings wealth, and turning hostility into friendship. I don't understand and I don't want to hear it!"

"You'd better go back!"

Seeing how determined he was, Yi Zhonghai knew there was no room for negotiation, so he left with a gloomy face.

......

On the other side, in the kitchen of the third canteen, Sha Zhu suddenly heard someone say that Liang Ladi was looking for him and asked him to go out for a while.

Sha Zhu was delighted and walked out with big strides like the wind. His eagerness could be seen from the swaying of his clothes.

After he left, everyone in the cafeteria was talking about it. The widow came to see the bachelor and always felt that there was something going on.

Lifting the kitchen curtain and looking at the pretty figure standing there kicking her right foot, Sha Zhu couldn't help but feel restless.

During this period, he always thought of Liang Ladi from time to time, and felt that he had been poisoned by the widow and could not extricate himself.

Liang Ladi was delighted to see him come out, and when they reached a corner, she explained her purpose.

"Zhu Zi, look at the current situation. I can't bear to see the children starving. Can you help me if you have the ability?"

Sha Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Sometimes there will be some leftovers in the cafeteria. If there are any leftovers, I will send them to your house."

Liang Ladi was overjoyed and took his hand, thanking him in a soft voice.

Sha Zhu's heart trembled. Ever since he experienced the beauty of sexual intercourse between men and women, he has been regretting it to death.

The fusion of body and mind, and the pleasure of soaring above the sky made him unable to stop.

It's a pity that he wasted these few years and didn't know how to enjoy himself. Otherwise, he would have children by now.

But it’s not too late now, hehe!

When he returned to the kitchen, Chef Wang, the third chef, immediately came up to him and smiled a smile that all men understand.

"Master He, I heard that Widow Liang is quite into that, you guys..."

The meaning of that winking gesture was self-evident, and Shazhu was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

"Don't talk nonsense. Liang Ladi and I are neighbors. She is not that kind of person at all."

Master Wang didn't take it seriously. "This matter has been spread around the factory with details. There is no smoke without fire. I think it is almost certain."

At this time, Sha Zhu finally understood Liang Ladi's feelings. Rumors are really terrible and no one can explain them even if they have a hundred mouths.

His clenched fists loosened. There were too many people spreading rumors, and he couldn't hit them all one by one.

If we want to punish someone, we should find the people who spread the rumors.

Not long after, he heard that Yi Zhonghai came to see him again, and then he realized that he was asking him to help the Jia family.

Sha Zhu gave him a dissatisfied look. He didn't even have time to help Liang Ladi, so how could he care about other people!

"Uncle, this is your fault. The situation in the courtyard is much more difficult than that of the Jia family. Jia Dongxu is not disabled, so he can't find a solution himself."

"You can't always think about yourself. Didn't you tell me that before?"

"You can't be so partial to him just because he's your apprentice."

Yi Zhonghai felt like vomiting blood after hearing this. What a fellow! When did Sha Zhu become so eloquent that he actually used what he said before to criticize him.

After being confronted by two people in a row, he was so embarrassed that he ran away in shame.

.........

Chapter 72 Everyone is gone

After Yi Zhonghai left the cafeteria, he had a gloomy face and was extremely dissatisfied with Sha Zhu and Pei Guang's attitude.

Besides, he wasn't begging for food for himself. Since the two of them were capable, it didn't matter who they helped.

After all, he was the eldest uncle in the compound and the elder of both of them, and he was embarrassed like this.

Pei Guang was fine, as he had always been at odds with the Jia family, so it was understandable that he didn't help. Sha Zhu, who used to be very respectful to him, also changed his behavior, which made him confused.

When he returned to the workshop with a lot on his mind, he was immediately discovered by Jia Dongxu who had been waiting for a long time.

"Master, what did Pei Guang say to Sha Zhu?" Jia Dongxu couldn't wait to ask. God knew how worried he was right now. He was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night.

But judging by the master's expression, it seemed that the result was not what I wanted.

"Ugh!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "I said all the good things I could, but they both refused to agree. You should think of other ways."

Jia Dongxu nodded in disappointment. He thought that with his master's help, even if he couldn't take down Pei Guang, at least persuading Sha Zhu wouldn't be a problem.

But now it seems that he was too naive!

Things have come to this point, and he has no other choice but to put up with the injustice of his family and endure it for the time being.

After returning to his workstation, he continued to process parts.

Perhaps because of his absent-mindedness, the part that should have been clamped was misaligned. When the machine started, the part flew out due to the high-speed rotation and hit him directly on the head.

"what!"

Accompanied by a burst of severe pain, he fainted on the ground due to the unbearable pain.

Although the workshop was filled with the sound of roaring machines, Jia Dongxu's screams were still heard by nearby workers. When they saw the tragic situation here, they all gasped.

There was a blood hole as big as a marble on his forehead, and blood was gushing out, soon soaking the surrounding ground.

"vomit!"

Some young people couldn't stand this scene and ran to the side and vomited.

"Oh no! Something happened to Jia Dongxu!"

More and more people noticed the situation, quickly shut down the machines, and ran over here.

Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level fitter, was assigning work to another apprentice. When he heard the noise, he looked in the direction of Jia Dongxu's workstation and immediately had a bad feeling.

With anxiety and uneasiness lingering in his heart, Yi Zhonghai strode over there, muttering something.

If you listen carefully, you can clearly hear "No! Nothing will happen to Dongxu!"

When the people around saw Yi Zhonghai coming, they knew that he was Jia Dongxu's master and they all made way for him.

Yi Zhonghai came closer and looked at the miserable appearance of Jia Dongxu lying on the ground. He just stood there in a daze, as if the sky had fallen.

"Hurry up and go to the infirmary and call the doctor, otherwise the patient will die." Someone shouted.

"The doctor in the infirmary is useless. We need to send the person to the hospital immediately."

At this time, the workshop director also rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing the situation, he immediately arranged for someone to go to the transportation team to call a taxi and cordoned off the accident scene.

After learning about the situation, I couldn't help but curse. No matter what kind of person Jia Dongxu is, he can't escape criticism and punishment.

Not long after, the transport team's car arrived, and Jia Dongxu miraculously woke up at this time.

Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed when he saw this, "Dongxu, how do you feel?"

At this time, Jia Dongxu's face was pale and his lips were bloodless due to excessive blood loss. He grimaced in pain as he felt the sharp pain.

"Master...Master, I...I may not be able to do it anymore!"

"Please, take...take good care of the Jia family." Jia Dongxu spoke intermittently, giving people a feeling that he was about to die.

Everyone present felt their noses sore when they heard this, and they were instantly moved. In this situation, he was still thinking about his family. If it were them, they would probably do the same.

Yi Zhonghai said with red eyes, "Dongxu, hold on, you will be fine."

"Master...Master, I know my own...situation very well. Please promise me, or I will die with regret."

"Okay, I promise you. Let's go to the hospital first." Yi Zhonghai suppressed the bitterness in his heart and agreed first.

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu twitched the corner of his mouth and fainted again with a smile on his face.

"Dongxu!" Yi Zhonghai shouted. Seeing that the situation was not good, he hurriedly asked someone to drive to the hospital, and the workshop director followed.

Before leaving, Yi Zhonghai did not forget to ask Liu Guangtian to notify the family members. There was no other way, because he was the only one from the hospital in the workshop.

Liu Guangtian did not dare to delay and rushed to the central courtyard, where he saw Qin Huairu washing clothes.

"It's bad, sister-in-law. Brother Jia has had an accident at the factory. You should go to the Red Star Hospital right away."

Qin Huairu didn't believe what he said. She looked at him with dissatisfaction in her almond-shaped eyes, "Guangtian, this is no joke. Dongxu was fine when he went out this morning."

"Sister-in-law, I dare not joke about this. Brother Jia has an accident in the workshop. You should hurry up!"

When Qin Huairu saw that he was panting and it didn't seem fake, her heart skipped a beat and she staggered and almost fell.

When Jia Zhang heard this, she started cursing even louder, and threatened to fight Liu Guangtian to the death if her son continued to do so.

Liu Guangtian said casually: "Anyway, I have already informed you, it's up to you whether you believe it or not."

After saying that, he ran away, too lazy to waste time talking to this old woman.

Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu looked at each other. They could no longer deceive themselves, so they took Bang Geng and Xiao Dang and hurried to the hospital.
