Yi Xuexi was not worried about money at all.
Not to mention that our comrade Yi Zhonghai is now one of the few Grade 8 fitters in the rolling mill. His monthly salary is 90 yuan, which is the highest salary in the courtyard.
They had said that in two years, after the Deaf Old Lady left, their family would have two rooms in the courtyard.
One was where their family was currently living, and the other was the one in the backyard of the Deaf Old Lady.
This was very normal. After all, their family could be said to be taking care of the old lady in her old age. An auntie was pouring the toilet bowl for the old lady and cooking for the old lady. She couldn't possibly do this for free, right?
Even though the old lady was usually on Silly Zhu's side, this debt still had to be settled properly. It belonged to whoever.
In the original novel, after the old lady left, the house became Shazhu's house. In the end, it was even moved in by a stick. However, that was because Yi Zhonghai and his wife were counting on Shazhu to support them in their old age, so they did not care about the house.
Otherwise, why would the old lady's house be taken over by the stick after she had poured the toilet bowl and cooked for the old lady a few times?
But now, with Yi Xue, he couldn't just let it go.
A middle-aged woman had already told Yi Xuexi that after the old lady left, Yi Xuexi would move in by himself.
This made Yi Xuexi secretly laugh.
In the original novel, Widow Qin's family got one room from the Yi family, two rooms from Shazhu's family, one room from the old lady, and one room from the Yi family. He was very unhappy about the total of five rooms. This was a house in Nanluogu Alley in the capital, and each house could be described as worth thousands of gold.
But now, with his biological son around, Widow Qin could forget about getting a hand on the Yi family's house. The old lady's house was also his, which meant that he would have two houses by then.
Although having two rooms wasn't something to be happy about for a transmigrator like him, he was happy to see Widow Qin's calculations end up with two rooms missing.
He wanted to see how Widow Qin's family and Silly Zhu's six people would be allocated the three rooms.
No, three rooms were still too many. He had to think of a way to make them have one less room.
After thinking for a long time, Yi Xuexi felt that he should start with He Yushui.
It just so happened that He Yushui was not far away from her marriage. The patrol officer was from the Nanluogu Alley police station. Could He Yushui apply to the street office? Could they ask if the house that He Yushui lived in before could be handed over to the street office since she was married? Then, the street office would allocate another room to He Yushui in the yard of the patrol officer.
This was for the best. Even if it didn't work out, it would cause He Yushui and Shazhu to have a big fight.
After all, Widow Qin definitely wouldn't agree to this. Since she wasn't willing, even Silly Zhu wouldn't agree to it, and He Yushui and the patrol officer would definitely be willing.
Even if they failed, He Yushui and Shazhu would probably be like enemies in the future.
Thinking of this, Yi Xuexi began to think about how he should tell He Yushui about this.
Just as Yi Xuexi was thinking of ways to get Widow Qin's family to cut off the meat, Yi Zhonghai also came to the factory.
Yi Zhonghai was a worker in the first workshop of the rolling mill, and he was the oldest and most skilled worker in the first workshop.
A Level 8 fitter could be said to be the only one in the workshop.
Therefore, after entering the workshop, many people took the initiative to question Yi Zhonghai.
"First Uncle, you're here."
"Grandpa Yi, have you eaten breakfast? I brought some extra.”
"First Uncle, I'll have to trouble you with what we agreed on yesterday. I do have something to do this afternoon.”
………………
Along the way, Yi Zhonghai greeted the other workers and came to his work station.
He took out the egg from his pocket.
Yi Zhonghai rolled the eggs in the lunch box twice before taking them out to peel the shells.
Actually, this egg was specially made by an auntie for Yi Xuexi. It was just that Yi Xuexi felt sorry for him, so he gave the egg to him.
Thinking of Yi Xuexi, Yi Zhonghai felt proud.
Previously, he had only asked Yi Xuexi to follow him to the workshop once. Yi Xuexi knew that he was tired from working and insisted on giving him the eggs every morning.
His first reaction at that time was, of course, not willing. This was specially prepared by an auntie for Yi Xuexi to supplement his nutrition.
However, Yi Xuexi's few words at that time made him willingly accept the egg.
Yi Xuexi had said that Yi Zhonghai had to stand and bend over to work every day. It was not a little tiring. As a father, he had to work so hard to support the family every day. Yi Xuexi wanted to show filial piety to Yi Zhonghai, but he had no money on him, so he could only give Yi Zhonghai the eggs every morning.
Yi Zhonghai wanted to cry when he heard Yi Xuexi's words. There were tens of thousands of workers in the rolling mill, and many of them had children at home. However, Yi Xuexi was probably the only child who was so sensible.
Now, Yi Xuexi knew how to be filial to the elderly at such a young age. If he grew up, the old couple would not have to worry about old age.
So, Yi Zhonghai took the egg with tears in his eyes, then went home and cried with an auntie.
A middle-aged woman cried as she spoke. What kind of blessing did she have in her previous life to have such a sensible child like Yi Xuexi in this life? God had treated the two of them well. With Yi Xuexi around, it was worth it no matter how much gossip she suffered previously.
From then on, the aunty still gave the egg to Yi Xuexi as if she didn't know anything. Then, Yi Xuexi went out and gave the egg to Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but think of the dish across the street when he ate the cold egg.
He couldn't help but spit. That child definitely couldn't compare to his family's studies. He was so young and already had dirty hands. He was probably going to be imprisoned in the future.
Widow Qin was also the same. His grandmother was insensible, but how could she be insensible? Why didn't she educate him?
Just as he was thinking about it, his previous disciples, Chen Nuanjin and Li Baocai, also came to his desk.
"Master, you're finally here. We heard from others in the morning that your Siheyuan had a general meeting last night. They said that the chicken that someone gave to Xu Damao was stolen by Silly Zhu. I said that I believed it, but Old Li said that he didn't believe it.”
"Of course I don't believe it. After hearing about this, I felt that something wasn't right. No matter what, Silly Zhu is the chef of our canteen. He usually brings a lot of things home. I also heard from Ma Hua from the canteen that the factory manager treated us to chicken mushroom stew yesterday. I don't believe it."
"Not necessarily. Everyone in our factory knows that Silly Zhu and Xu Damao have been on bad terms since they were young. Maybe Silly Zhu has been targeting Xu Damao's house to steal. Whether I lack it or not is one thing, but whether you can keep this old hen is another matter.”
Yi Zhonghai could not help but feel gratified as he looked at his two disciples who were playing tricks in front of him.
His two disciples had followed him for several years. When Yi Xuexi was born, these two disciples even went to drink Yi Xuexi's one-month-old celebration together.
Moreover, compared to Widow Qin, who did not put in any effort, his two disciples were much better.
It was hard to imagine what was going on in Widow Qin's mind. It was fine if she didn't educate her own child well, but it was all thanks to Grandma Stick Stalker who had been howling at the factory gate for several days that she could replace Jia Dongxu and enter the rolling mill. However, she didn't study hard after entering the factory.
He would rather be taken advantage of from time to time than do his job well.
She had been working in the factory for almost five to six years, but she still could only get a salary of more than 20 yuan a month, which was higher than an apprentice.
However, his two apprentices were now masters in the third and fourth workshops. They could take home at least 50 yuan a month.
One had to know that his two disciples had only entered the factory two years earlier than Widow Qin.
"There was such a thing, and Silly Zhu admitted on the spot that he was the one who stole Xu Damao's chicken.”
Since Silly Zhu had taken the initiative to take on this matter for the stick, Yi Zhonghai would fulfill his wish.
If you want to be a hero in front of Widow Qin, then let the tens of thousands of people in the factory know about this.
If it was in the past, Yi Zhonghai might have suppressed this matter and not let anyone talk about it.
After all, he still hoped that Silly Zhu would take care of him in his old age. If Silly Zhu's reputation was ruined, he might have trouble in his old age. At that time, Silly Zhu might use this matter to make things difficult for him.
But now, after having Yi Xuexi as his biological son, Yi Zhonghai could not wait for Silly Zhu's reputation to be tarnished as soon as possible. It would be best if it spread throughout the entire capital.
"Look, look, I told you that with Silly Zhu's temper, he might be the one who did this. You didn't believe me, so hurry up and give me the money.”
Hearing Yi Zhonghai's confirmation, Chen Nuanjin extended her hand in front of Li Baocai.
"Fine, fine, fine. I'm the kind of person who doesn't admit it. But then again, you ate 1.50 yuan for a meal. You're really something. What did you eat in the morning?”
After counting 1.5 yuan and handing it to the person, the person who lost the bet could not help but frown.
1.50 yuan was enough to pay for a day's food for a family of three.
One had to know that a chicken in the market was only one yuan, and an egg was only twenty cents. How many people had they eaten to get one yuan and fifty cents?
"That's right. Xiao Chen, did you buy a roast chicken to eat in the morning? That's a little inappropriate.”
Yi Zhonghai chimed in.
Xiao Chen was able to earn 1.50 yuan for breakfast.
"Master, you don't know this. It's a bit difficult to spend 1.5 yuan per person, but there are three people in our family. I didn't ask Pingping to open the fire this morning and went outside to buy three eggs and a pound and a half of fried pancakes.”
Xiao Chen proudly counted the 1.50 yuan in his hands. His face was filled with satisfaction.
"D * mn, after all this time, I was the one who treated your entire family to this meal. Chen Nuanjin, you're also a talent. How do you know that the chicken was definitely stolen by Silly Zhu?”
The three of them ate breakfast that cost fifty cents. This figure was still reasonable.
However, Li Baocai still did not understand why Chen Nuanjin was so bold. How could he be so sure that it was Silly Zhu who stole it?
Chen Nuanjin was usually very cautious. Even when she was working, she had to look at the blueprints three times before she dared to touch the machine. When she was working, she would take out the blueprints from time to time to look at them, afraid that she would make a mistake.
"You don't know about this, right? Last night, Jingjing's teacher paid a home visit. Jingjing's mother and I beat Jingjing up, but we still hadn't vented our anger. Then, I wanted to go to the teacher's house to ask him how he usually teaches. In the end, we happened to run into a full-school meeting in their courtyard, so I listened from behind. Then, when we were setting up the water in the morning, you insisted on making a bet with me.”
Chen Nuanjin sounded so smug when she spoke.
Fortunately, he spoke slowly. Otherwise, no one would have treated him to breakfast.
"Chen Nuanjin, you bet with me when you knew about it back then. You're really mean.”
That person also understood that he had lost completely before he even showed his cards.
"What insult? This is called being steady, okay? You have to change your fiery personality. Otherwise, you'll probably be like Silly Zhu. You're almost thirty and still don't have a wife.”
She put the money into her pocket. Chen Nuanjin would never spit it out again.
"Joking is just a joke, but don't curse me. I'm different from Silly Zhu. He has Widow Qin backing him up, but I'm not even close.”
When he heard Chen Nuanjin compare him to Silly Zhu, that person was unhappy.
"Alright, both of you should learn some manners. If Silly Zhu hears your words, see how his hands will tremble when he's getting food.
After all, they were neighbors. Yi Zhonghai quickly stopped them from talking.
"He dares? I don't care if Silly Zhu wants to mess with others, but if he dares to mess with me, I'll bring the people from the third workshop to smash the canteen.”
Others might be afraid of Silly Zhu, but this person was not.
The reason was simple. His uncle was the deputy director of the office in Chaoyang District. If it weren't for his uncle, he wouldn't have been able to enter the Red Star Rolling Mill.
"Master, look at what Li Baomin is saying. It's so tough to have an uncle who's the deputy director of the office. Unfortunately, we're different from him. Why don't we have such a good uncle?”
Chen Nuanjin couldn't help but mock Yi Zhonghai.
"Chen Nuanjin, stop pretending. No matter how powerful I am, I can't be as powerful as your wife. Your wife, He Pingping, is now the director of our factory's women department. In addition, your father-in-law is from the old Red Army.”
When Li Baomin heard Chen Nuanjin expose his own secrets, he couldn't help but spill the beans.
"Alright, stop chatting here. The bell is about to ring. Why don't you hurry back to the workshop?”
Seeing that the two of them were about to expose each other's secrets again, Yi Zhonghai quickly stopped them.
Chen Nuanjin and Li Baomin also knew that it was almost time to go to work, so they went back to the workshop after exchanging a few words.
Yi Zhonghai could not help but sigh in his heart as he watched the two of them leave.
These two disciples of his were also very good. At that time, he had specially picked them out. Whether it was their characters or their conduct, they were all top-notch.
Originally, he had planned to find his two disciples when Silly Zhu was not willing to support his parents in their old age, but now it was useless.
Especially Chen Nuanjin. His hometown was in the countryside. Back then, he came to the rolling mill alone with a recommendation letter from the village. At that time, even the cloth shoes on his feet were open. It was he who asked an auntie to make a pair of cotton shoes for Chen Nuanjin.
He saw that the other party's character was very good, so he specially stayed by his side to teach him.
Chen Nuanjin was now a Level 6 fitter in the factory, and her skills were not much worse than Liu Haizhong's.
Now, not only did he have a wife, but he also had a daughter. He could be considered to have a family in the capital.
Looking at Silly Zhu, she was even worse than Chen Nuanjin.
With the two of them around, the news of Silly Zhu stealing chickens would probably spread throughout the entire rolling mill. At that time, Silly Zhu's reputation would be completely ruined.
