The worst thing was that he couldn't go to the police station to report the disappearance of these things.
Yi Zhonghai was well aware that the small yellow croakers were very sensitive at this time.
Therefore, one could imagine how much he hated the thief who had stolen most of his wealth.
Of course, he didn't know that the thief who took away all his small yellow croakers wasn't a human at all, but a bird.
The reason why the bird had taken the drastic measure and left him no feathers was because Yang Yi had told it that a small yellow croaker could be exchanged for a bag of crunchy fish.
At this moment, the bird had already run away from home and was building a nest on the big pagoda tree in the middle of the courtyard. There was a pile of small yellow croakers neatly arranged in the nest.
From this moment on, these small yellow croakers were already its property. No one could take them away.
Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai didn't know about this. Otherwise, he would probably go crazy and build a nest with his little yellow croakers. The big locust tree had to be uprooted for you to build a nest!
Yi Zhonghai had slowly calmed down after the initial sadness and anger.
It was not his style to be incapable and furious all the time. At this point, no matter how angry he was, it would not help.
The problem now was how to remedy it.
It was impossible to report the case to the police station. He could only investigate it himself, and he could only investigate in secret. He could not make it public.
Yi Zhonghai knew that it was too difficult to find the thief. It was basically impossible to find him.
Now, the most reliable guarantee for the second half of his life was gone, and the retirement plan had not been implemented yet.
Now, it could be said that he was empty on both ends.
" This won't do." Yi Zhonghai's face was gloomy. Now that there was no guarantee, he had to decide on a candidate for retirement as soon as possible and instill the power of morality in him as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would really face a situation where no one would care for him at the end of his life.
Originally, he had already decided on Yang Yi as the best candidate. However, after the bandit incident and the events of the past two days, he had long lost interest in Yang Yi.
He still wanted to live a few more years in his later years. He was looking for someone to retire, not someone to send him off in advance.
Apart from Yang Yi, the only promising youths in the courtyard were Jia Dongxu, Xu Damao, and Silly Zhu.
In fact, Jia Dongxu was a good candidate. He had a soft personality and was obedient. Unfortunately, Jia Zhangshi was too shrewd.
With Jia Zhangshi around, it would be difficult for Jia Dongxu to support her in her old age.
As for Xu Damao, he was even more cunning. His father, Xu Fugui, was even more cunning. Back then, he had used all kinds of methods to get the position of a projectionist in the factory. It was an eye-opener for him.
With him around, there was no need to think about Xu Damao.
Then, there was no other choice. F4 only had Shazhu left. However, with He Daqing around, it was another tricky problem.
Yi Zhonghai's expression was uncertain as he calculated in his heart…
In Yang Yi's room in the backyard, Qin Huairu had already prepared dinner. She called Yang Yi in and started eating.
Mushroom stir-fried meat slices, fried eggs, pickled cucumbers, bone soup, and a plate of white flour. It was an unusually sumptuous meal.
In this era, many families could not even eat this dish during the holidays.
If it wasn't for Yang Yi's firm attitude, Qin Huairu wouldn't have dared to do this.
Usually, when she was at home, she would only eat cornbread. She rarely ate white noodles, let alone such a sumptuous dish.
She had never dreamed of living such a life.
However, she couldn't help but worry about what she would do in the future with such extravagant spending.
Yang Yi, who was sitting opposite her, saw Qin Huairu's conflicted expression and knew that she was worried about her future.
This was because he was used to living a hard life and was suddenly not used to living a good life.
Yang Yi felt the need to enlighten Qin Huiru. He married her so that he could live a good life in the future, not to suffer.
Yang Yi said,
"Huai Ru, don't worry. This bit of food won't make our family poor.”
"Although my parents left in a hurry, they also left me a legacy.”
"The two of them used to be two employees of the rolling mill. The inheritance they left behind is enough for us to spend.”
"However, don't tell anyone about this. There are many people who are jealous.”
Qin Huairu let out an " ah " and subconsciously raised her head to look at her husband. She did not expect that her deceased parents-in-law would actually leave behind an inheritance.
"Besides, I plan to let you replace me at the rolling mill.”
Yang Yi continued,
"I've already informed the factory about this in advance. I'll bring you to do it tomorrow.”
Let me work in the factory?
Qin Huairu was confused. What was going on?
"Brother, why do you want me to work in the factory? I, I don't know anything."
Yang Yi waved his hand and said,
"It's precisely because you don't know anything that I let you take over my post. This is legal.”
"Otherwise, if I ask you to look for a job outside, will you be able to find one if you don't know anything?”
"Once you enter the factory, you can learn slowly. It's not difficult.”
"You'll be considered an apprentice now. You'll get twenty-one yuan a month. After you become a regular employee, you'll get thirty-three yuan.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu's eyes lit up.
"You can use this money for your family's daily expenses. You don't have to save it. If you don't have enough, come to me. We're living a good life, not a hard life.”
Yang Yi reminded him again. He was afraid that Qin Huairu would bring over the habits of her family from the countryside and make cornbread for him every meal.
That would be a sin.
"In the future, every meal at home must be based on this meal's standard. It can only be high, not low.”
"Of course. To outsiders, just say that you eat cornbread for every meal.”
"As for me, I'm going to look for another job. Of course, I'll have to take my time.”
"In addition, the reward for the bandit incident hasn't been announced yet, but I reckon it won't be small.”
"So don't worry. Our family will definitely live a prosperous life in the future.”
After Qin Huairu heard Yang Yi's words, her eyes were filled with anticipation for the prosperous days ahead. She felt at ease.
She did not know how much good fortune she had cultivated in her previous life to be able to follow such a good man in this life.
"However, you have to remember that to the public, you have to say that our family is so poor that we can't afford to eat. Moreover, you have already handed over your monthly salary to me, leaving only five yuan for you to eat at the factory cafeteria at noon. This is to prevent others from borrowing money from you.”
Qin Huairu hurriedly nodded and replied,
"Brother, I understand. I don't want others to be jealous.”
Yang Yi nodded in satisfaction. Not bad, obedient.
"Alright, hurry up and eat. It's getting cold.”
