He Yushui took a piece of cake and ran to the courtyard. She went up to the old lady and tore a small piece. She put it by the old lady's mouth and said,
Grandma, try it. This is the cake that my brother just baked. Try it. It was sweet and fragrant, and it was delicious!
Alright ~ Grandma, try what my eldest grandson made? Oh right, cake! The old lady happily took the cake from He Yushui and said,"
Wow, it's so soft, fragrant, sweet, and delicious! This was the first time Grandma had eaten this.
It was just that eating too little wasn't enough. Give Grandma another piece!
Grandma, is this cake delicious? I'll put more of this soft thing in your room. If you're hungry, eat some. He Yuzhu walked over with the remaining cake and said.
When He Yushui saw her brother carrying a few boxes of cake over, she jumped up happily. She ran over and opened her mouth to act coquettishly at He Yuzhu,
Ah ~ Brother, I want you to feed me! You fed sister-in-law just now and ignored me. I'm angry.
He Yuzhu saw He Yuyu tear off a piece of cake and stuff it into her mouth. Then, he pinched her delicate nose.
He Yuyu was so angry that she opened her mouth and bit his hand. He Yuzhu was so scared that she quickly pulled her hand back.
Qin Huairu chuckled as he watched the siblings play. He said,"
Zhu Zi taught me how to make it just now. It doesn't look particularly difficult. In the future, if you want to eat it, I'll try to make it for you.
Old Mrs. Han loved a lively atmosphere. She loved it when the family was together and had fun. He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile,
That's great ~ I'll ask my granddaughter-in-law to make it for me next time. Grandma likes to eat delicious food.
He Yuzhu also nodded and said,
There are still a lot of ingredients left. You guys eat first, I'll go and roast another batch. Make more of this and leave it at home. When you're hungry and don't want to cook, you can eat one. Then, she turned around and went back to the kitchen.
Not long after, He Yuzhu came back with the freshly baked cake. The first batch of cake had been eaten by the women. Looking at them, they probably couldn't eat dinner.
It was the first time for the women to eat cake. No matter in this era or in the modern era, women could not resist the temptation of sweets, let alone those who had never eaten cake in this era where supplies were scarce.
When He Yuzhu's family was enjoying the delicious cake, a commotion came from the courtyard.
A few curious people rushed to the middle court with the old lady to watch the show. He Yushui was still holding a piece of cake in her hand, unwilling to put it down.
As soon as he arrived at the middle court, he saw Third Master Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong's family gathered in front of Yi Zhonghai's house. They were surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.
Liu Haizhong stood in front of Yi Zhonghai's house with his hands behind his back and his belly sticking out. He was confronting Yi Zhonghai. He liked the feeling of being surrounded.
Liu Guangtian stood beside Liu Haizhong with a walking stick in one hand and a brick in the other.
Liu Guangfu and the second aunt stood behind Liu Haizhong and stared at Yi Zhonghai warily.
This was the mobilization of the entire family! He Yuzhu could not help but sigh as he watched Liu Haizhong's family of four surround Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai looked at the aggressive Liu family and knew that something was wrong. He said first,
His second uncle, what is the meaning of your family in the middle of the night?
Liu Haizhong adjusted his glasses and said slowly,
Old Yi, we already told you that day, you broke my Guangtian. In addition to the medical and nutrition fees, you also need to take care of Guangtian until he recovers, or bear the cost of taking care of him.
That day, you said that you would go back and think of a way, but you still haven't given me an answer until today. That's why we came to look for you. You have to give me a definite answer today.
Yi Zhonghai frowned. He knew that he couldn't avoid it today. He had to give Liu Haizhong an explanation. He looked around.
He Yuzhu reached out to snatch the cake from his sister's hand. He Yuyu pushed He Yuzhu with one hand and hid the cake behind her with the other. The siblings were having a good time. He had no intention of standing up for her.
He then turned to look at the others. When they saw Yi Zhonghai looking over, they all avoided his gaze. It seemed like there was no hope.
Thinking about what He Yuzhu had told him, he could only sigh and say to Third Uncle,
Old Yan, all the elders in the courtyard have to work. It's not convenient for the older ladies and daughters-in-law who don't work either. The rest are the old and young. Your second son is at a suitable age since he doesn't have a job. You see?
Third Uncle smiled proudly and replied,"
Old Yi! It's not that I can't help you with this, but I'm asking someone to arrange work for my Jiefang.
If I delay going to work to help you, what do you think about this loss?
Yi Zhonghai had already mentally prepared himself before he opened his mouth to Yan Fugui, so he said to Yan Fugui in a very straightforward manner,"
I know about Old Yan, but there really isn't a more suitable candidate for the time being. We should help each other in the quad. Liberation is also a sensible child, so he definitely won't stand by and watch.
Of course, I won't let Jiefang help for free. How about I give him a reward of 5 yuan?
The Third Uncle heard Yi Zhonghai's words and felt disdain in his heart. He said disdainfully,"
Old Yi, it's true that the Siheyuan should be united and help each other, but you have to act according to your ability. The most important thing for my Jiefang now is to find a job. Without a job, he won't even be able to eat, let alone anything else.
As for the unity and mutual help you mentioned, your monthly income of 99 yuan is the highest in the hospital. How about this, my Jiefang will help you take care of Liu Guangtian.
What about you? Help him find a suitable job and help him out every month until he finds a job? Everyone helps each other!
It can't be that you're the one who specifically asked others to help each other, right?
As soon as Third Uncle finished speaking, whispers sounded around them.
He Yuzhu almost clapped when he heard that.
Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned green, but he did not know how to refute. He could only suppress his anger and continue,
Old Yan, I didn't mean it that way. Of course, if your Jiefang has any difficulties, I definitely won't stand by and watch. However, he is your son after all. With you around, it won't be easy for me to reach out, right?
How about this? We can't rush to find a job. I'll pay him this time. How much do you think is appropriate?
Third Uncle pondered for a moment and said,
Old Yi, if you put it that way, I think so. Liberation is taking care of patients for you. Logically speaking, it should be calculated according to the national regulations as a nursing staff.
However, he doesn't have any professional skills and can't be compared to others. I'm also embarrassed to ask you for a salary according to that standard.
However, it's also a fact that he has to take care of Liu Guangtian. We'll calculate it as a child care worker. The lowest salary is 23 yuan per month.
Although taking care of Liu Guangtian was more tiring than taking care of a child, you were his boss! It's fine for him to suffer a little, don't you think?
What Third Uncle said made sense. Since it was employment, then it should be done according to the national standards. Otherwise, wouldn't they become the exploiting class?
23! Oh my god, it's so high. It's almost as high as our monthly salary. Otherwise, I'll just quit work and do it.
Are you stupid? This is temporary. What will you do after working for two months?
The neighbors on the side expressed their opinions. Yi Zhonghai could only turn to Liu Haizhong and ask,
Old Liu, what do you think? Is your Second Aunt really unable to take care of Guangtian? I think Guangtian can walk on his own, so taking care of him won't be so troublesome.
As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, the second aunt was tempted and wanted to say something to Liu Haizhong, but she saw Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui exchange glances. Then, she said directly,
No need, Old Yi. My wife really can't take care of him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to find someone to take care of him. My bangs are not that kind of person.
And I think that it's a good idea to ask Jiefang to take care of Guangtian. I totally agree. The rest depends on what you say.
Seeing that he had already said this, Yi Zhonghai could only nod with tears in his eyes."
Alright, then it's settled. I'll spend 23 yuan to take care of Liu Guangtian.
Third Uncle was also very happy to see that his goal had been achieved. At the same time, he was secretly glad.
He had already guessed that Yi Zhonghai would tempt the second aunt to take care of Liu Guangtian himself. He had communicated with Liu Haizhong in advance and analyzed the possible consequences if the second aunt agreed to take care of Liu Guangtian herself.
The proud Third Uncle took out a piece of white paper from his pocket and said to Yi Zhonghai,"
Since we've agreed, I'll write a written agreement in black and white to save the trouble in the future. After saying that, she leaned on the windowsill and started writing.
After a while, Third Uncle picked up the paper and said to Yi Zhonghai,"
Old Yi, let me read it out for you.
Now, there was Yi Zhonghai, who accidentally injured Liu Guangtian, causing him to have a fracture in his left leg and unable to take care of himself.
After a friendly negotiation, Yi Zhonghai contributed 23 yuan per month. He hired Yan Jiefang to take care of Liu Guangtian until he recovered.
What do you think? Yi Zhonghai sighed and walked over to sign the papers when he saw Yan Fugui carefully explaining the parts that he had deliberately said vaguely.
After the matter was settled, the arrogant Third Uncle and the arrogant Second Uncle led their children away.
The lonely Yi Zhonghai looked at He Yuzhu expectantly and realized that he had already brought his wife, sister, and the deaf old lady to the backyard.
Looking at the other Siheyuan neighbors who were scattered like birds and beasts, it deepened his desire to find someone who could look after him in his old age.
Back in the backyard, the idle He Yuzhu sat under the persimmon tree and chatted with the old lady for a while. He teased his sister for a while before holding his wife's hand and returning to the central room.
Sitting by the bed, He Yuzhu looked at Qin Huairu, who had just finished fetching water for his feet and was about to wash his feet. For the first time, He Yuzhu felt glad that he had returned to this era.
He sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at his wife, who was like a flower that could not be shamed. She rubbed her feet gently with her small hands.
He Yuzhu's heart was filled with emotions. When Qin Huairu dried his feet and prepared a basin of water to wash his own feet…
He Yuzhu suddenly stood up and pressed Qin Huiru to the edge of the bed. Then, she squatted down to take off Qin Huiru's shoes and socks.
Qin Huairu was so shocked that she wanted to stand up immediately. However, He Yuzhu, who had been prepared for this, pressed a hand on her leg, preventing her from getting up.
He Yuzhu sat cross-legged on the ground and removed Qin Huairu's shoes and socks. He looked up at her and smiled.
You washed it for me just now, so it should be my turn to wash it for you now.
After a pause, she said softly,
Others only said that if you marry me, you won't have to worry about food and clothing, and you'll live a good life like a god. How would they know that the most precious thing I can give you is not wealth, but respect!
Qin Huai felt uneasy and advised,"
But you're a man, a real man, how can you…do such a thing to make others laugh at you?
As He Yuzhu carefully washed her, he looked up and smiled.
What's wrong with me washing my wife's feet? Am I not a man? Wouldn't he be an unyielding man? Whoever wanted to laugh, let them laugh.
A real man, a real man, must first be able to hold up a peaceful sky for the woman he loves, so that you can live freely and happily, so that you don't feel that your life has been wasted.
By then, Qin Huai's face was already covered in tears. He reached out and pulled the little man in front of him, whom he loved to the bone, into his embrace.
The phoenix cries through the night
