Beijing in the 1960s.
The bell rang.
The workers of the Red Star Rolling Mill walked out of the gate in a long line.
Yi Zhonghai kept greeting the people around him as he stepped on the thick snow on the road.
After walking for more than ten minutes, he arrived at the alley entrance of the courtyard house.
He did not enter the alley directly.
He first went to the supply and marketing cooperative at the entrance of the alley.
"Grandpa Yi, you're here to buy candy for your family's study again.”
"First Uncle, how old is your family now, and you still buy candy for him all day long?”
The people from the supply and marketing cooperative were also familiar with Yi Zhonghai. There were people talking to him non-stop.
Yi Zhonghai went to the window selling sweets and pastries while he was being greeted and teased by others.
He gave the man two yuan and a candy ticket and took a small packet of milk candy from the man.
Although it was only a small packet of milk candy, it was still a rare item for people in this era.
Yi Zhonghai put the milk candy in his pocket and left the supply and marketing cooperative.
He walked to the entrance of the courtyard house.
Yi Zhonghai did not see Qin Huiru standing there like before.
It was obvious that Silly Zhu had left early today.
Shaking his head, Yi Zhonghai didn't plan to persuade Silly Zhu not to leave early like he did a few years ago.
He had his own son now.
Naturally, he didn't care if Silly Zhu would be hated by others.
As soon as he entered, he bumped into Yan Bugui, who was waiting for him.
"First Uncle, you're finally back. Something big happened in our courtyard today.”
Upon seeing Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui stepped forward and said.
His expression was as if the sky had collapsed.
"Something big? What could happen in our courtyard?”
Yi Zhonghai knew that Yanbugui would never stop until he shocked everyone with his words, so he did not panic.
Instead, he asked the other party with interest.
"First Uncle, you don't know that Xu Damao's chicken was stolen in our backyard today. Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were making a scene. Coincidentally, there was a half-cooked chicken at Silly Zhu's house, so they insisted that Silly Zhu stole it. In the end, they even used a kitchen knife. If it wasn't for Second Uncle stopping them, they would probably have bled today.”
Although he was teaching mathematics, Yan Bugui's language skills were not bad.
He made it sound like a fight between the American emperor and Su Xiu when he talked about a small matter of stealing a chicken.
"In the end, it was Second Master who spoke. Today, we held a meeting of the whole academy to discuss this issue of stealing chickens. Only then did we finally deal with this matter. I'm also waiting here to tell you.”
As he spoke, Yan Bugui kept looking into Yi Zhonghai's arms.
"Then I'll thank Third Uncle. I just happened to buy a pack of milk candies for my family. You can also give two pieces to your Jiedi and Jie Kuang.”
Yi Zhonghai was already used to Yan Bugui's greedy and calculative personality.
He took out two milk candies from the bag and stuffed them into Yan Bugui's hands.
"Then I'll thank First Uncle on behalf of the two kids in our family. Among the children in our courtyard, studying is the most blessed. Ever since he came, you've never stopped being a toffee.”
Yan Bugui could not help but sigh as he held the two toffees in his hands.
Yi Zhonghai was the one with the highest salary in their courtyard house.
A Grade 8 fitter was the treasure of the Red Star Rolling Mill. His monthly salary was more than 70 yuan.
In addition to all kinds of subsidies, Yi Zhonghai was said to be able to earn more than 90 yuan a month, which was the highest salary in the Siheyuan.
Previously, Yi Zhonghai's family did not dare to be extravagant because they had to save for their retirement.
However, ever since a middle-aged woman gave birth to a son six years ago, Yi Zhonghai no longer had to be as stingy as before.
Take this milk candy for example.
Usually, other families could only eat a little during the New Year.
However, Yi Xuexue had two pieces of rice every day. He heard that there was an egg every morning and he could even eat meat once a month.
Yi Xuexi's life was almost the same as that of a landlord in the past.
After exchanging a few more words with Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai passed through the front courtyard and arrived at the middle courtyard where he lived.
There were quite a number of people living in this courtyard house. The front courtyard was occupied by Yan Bugui's family and two other families. The middle courtyard was occupied by Yi Zhonghai's family, the Jia family, and Silly Zhu's family. The backyard was occupied by Xu Damao's family, Liu Haizhong's family, and the Deaf Old Lady's family.
After pushing the door open and entering the house, Yi Zhonghai saw Yi Xuexi doing his homework at the dining table with his head lowered, while an auntie was holding the soles of her shoes on the kang.
He saw Yi Xuexi, who was as strong as a tiger.
Yi Zhonghai instantly felt that the fatigue of a day's work had disappeared.
If not, why would he say that his son was still the best? Although Silly Zhu was usually kind, he was not his biological son after all. Whether he could be counted on in the future was another matter.
Moreover, Silly Zhu was going to marry a wife in the future. If he married an insensible woman, then all the things he had done before would be useless.
However, his own son was different.
Even if he did not have the ability after studying, he could still leave two houses for him and choose a good wife for him. His life would be worth it.
Hearing the door open, Yi Xuexi, who was lying on the table, looked up and saw the person who opened the door.
"Dad, you're back."
"I'm back."
After wiping his son's head, Yi Zhonghai unwrapped the toffee and placed it in the metal box on the cabinet. Then, he took out two more and placed them on the dining table.
Upon hearing Yi Xuexi's shout, a middle-aged woman looked up from the soles of her shoes and said when she saw that Yi Zhonghai had returned.
"Xuexi's dad, you're back."
In the past.
One of the aunties called Yi Zhonghai an old man. However, ever since Yi Xuexi was born, she started calling him Xuexi's father.
"You're back. Is the food ready?”
"It's done. I've already sent it to the old lady in the backyard.”
A middle-aged woman wiped the needle awl used to stab her eyes on her hair and said casually.
Yi Zhonghai nodded when he heard that the food had been delivered to the Deaf Old Lady. He then sat at the dining table and watched Yi Xuexue do his homework.
Yi Xuexi's handwriting was beautiful no matter how he looked at it. Even if he looked at it for half a lifetime, he would not find it annoying.
"Oh right, study. You didn't come back with the stick and the others today.”
Seeing that Yi Xuexi was almost done with his homework, Yi Zhonghai asked casually.
The boy was usually the king of the children in their yard.
In addition, Yi Xuexi and Huai Hua were both in the first grade.
Therefore, he had specially told Widow Qin to connect Yi Xuexi with the stick when he connected the locust flowers.
This way, he would feel more at ease with three or four children going home together.
However, when he came back just now, he heard from others that Yi Xuexi came back alone.
"Yeah, I came back with Bao Yuanchao from the yard next to us. Our teacher said that Teacher Jia 001 doesn't allow us to play with the stick.
