Twenty minutes later.
Yi Zhonghai panted as he returned to the entrance of the courtyard.
"First Uncle, why are you back now?”
Just as he was about to step in, a voice called out to him.
Yi Zhonghai turned around and smiled amiably.
The person in front of him was a woman in her twenties. She had curved eyes and a sweet smile. She was intelligent and cute, revealing an even sweeter and more lively temperament.
"Huai Ru, did you come back from buying vegetables?”
Yi Zhonghai greeted him approvingly.
Qin Huairu was the daughter-in-law of his disciple, Jia Dongxu. She had married into this quad in 1951.
Although she was from the countryside, she was hardworking, filial to the elderly, and loved the children. She was the best daughter-in-law in the entire courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai was quite satisfied with his daughter-in-law's character.
It was also because of Qin Huairu that Yi Zhonghai became more patient with Jia Dongxu.
"Yeah, Grandpa." Qin Huairu nodded and asked,""Why are you back now? Did something happen in the quad?”
Yi Zhonghai shook his head." No, Yan Jiecheng came to the factory to look for me. He said that my nephew was here, so I rushed back immediately."”
"I won't chat with you for now. I'll go home first.”
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he immediately stepped into the courtyard and headed home.
Qin Huairu was left standing at the door, confused.
"Isn't Yi Zhonghai without any relatives? What about a nephew?"
Qin Huairu stared at Yi Zhonghai's back as her beautiful brows furrowed deeply.
...
He shifted his gaze to the middle court.
Yi Zhonghai stood at the door of his house and heard the sounds coming from inside. He took a deep breath, pushed the door open, and walked in.
At first glance, Yi Zhonghai saw Chen Anhe sitting beside his wife.
Similar, too similar.
Yi Zhonghai knew that Chen Anhe was his nephew the moment he saw him.
Chen Anhe looked similar to his sister, Yi Hongmei. When Yi Zhonghai saw Chen Anhe, he thought of his own sister.
"An He? I'm your uncle. Do you still recognize me?”
Yi Zhonghai suppressed his excitement and sat in front of Chen Anhe.
Chen Anhe shook his head and nodded. Although he knew Yi Zhonghai, the original owner's memory of Yi Zhonghai was very vague. After all, the original owner was too young at that time.
"Uncle, I can't remember clearly."
Yi Zhonghai nodded and asked,""An He, where's your mother? Why didn't he come with you?"
Chen Anhe fell silent again.
A middle-aged woman sighed and answered the question for him.
Yi Zhonghai's eyes reddened when he heard that Father Chen had died from participating in the pig-hunting team and that Yi Hongmei was bedridden.
When he heard that his biological sister had passed away due to illness a few days ago, Yi Zhonghai could not help but cry.
"Why, why didn't you come to find Uncle earlier?”
"My poor little sister."
An auntie then told him that Yi Hongmei had been ill in bed for a few years and could only be taken care of by Chen Anhe. It was not until two days ago that she finally recovered and said that she had an uncle.
Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai beat his thigh in self-reproach.
His biological sister was seriously ill, and as her biological brother, he actually did not know about it at all.
Yi Zhonghai could only blame himself for being taken care of by his nephew, who was less than ten years old at that time.
If he had cared about his own sister back then, he would not have ended up in this state.
Yi Zhonghai hugged Chen Anhe tightly and said tenderly,""My poor nephew must have suffered a lot.”
Looking at Chen Anhe's thin body and calloused hands, Yi Zhonghai could not imagine how much pain he had suffered.
"Uncle, I'm not suffering." Chen Anhe shook his head.
"How can it not be bitter? Anhe, you're my nephew. In the future, uncle will take care of you.”Yi Zhonghai looked at Chen Anhe and said gratefully.
He couldn't be more satisfied with Chen An and himself.
For the sake of his mother, he had shouldered the burden of the entire family at the age of nine.
Such a filial deed made him realize Chen Anhe's character.
He was hardworking, thrifty, filial, and was his nephew. Under the heavy labels, wasn't this the perfect retirement partner that God had given him?
When Chen Anhe heard this, he knelt down and said," Uncle, before my mother left, she asked me to come to you. I know you don't have children. If you don't mind, I want to take care of you in your old age."”
"I can wash clothes and cook. I will serve you well.”
Chen Anhe knew that the problem of retirement was Yi Zhonghai's problem, so he simply told him directly.
Although they had only just met, Chen Anhe could tell that the auntie and Yi Zhonghai's feelings for him were absolutely sincere.
Yi Zhonghai treated him sincerely, and Chen Anhe would definitely take care of him in his old age.
Hearing Chen Anhe's words, the two of them were indescribably excited.
A middle-aged woman was so excited that she couldn't hold back her tears. For so many years, she had lived in seclusion in this quad. It was all because she couldn't have children. There had always been people gossiping behind her back.
Now, Chen Anhe's words had finally lifted the huge rock in her heart.
The veins on Yi Zhonghai's hands also popped out. He was obviously very excited.
Chen Anhe's promise made him feel as if it was February in the capital. The spring breeze was warm and comfortable.
Yi Zhonghai felt good, but he still pretended to be dissatisfied and said,""What are you talking about? Your parents have passed away, and your uncle is your only family in this world.”
"It's only right for me to take care of you when you come to me. You don't have to do anything for me.”
"Got it?"
