When Yi Zhonghai heard that there was a chance, he immediately straightened his back.
"Director Dai, what's going on with this old lady you're talking about?”
Associate Chief Physician Dai sighed.
She then said," I'll tell you this. I've never seen such a troublemaker like that old lady in my life. I don't know where she came from. She doesn't even have any information about her identity, but she insists that she's a martyr."”
"We asked her what the names of her children were. If they were really martyrs, we would be able to find out as long as they had a name. But guess what she said? She pretended to be deaf.”
"It wasn't easy for her to hear it. She told us that she was muddle-headed and that she wasn't a martyr, but that she had made straw sandals for soldiers.”
"In short, she only has one goal. She wants us to arrange a free house for her and support her.”
Yi Zhonghai asked,"
"Director Dai, how old is this old lady? Is she a lonely old lady?”
Department Director Dai thought for a moment." He's about seventy years old. He's indeed childless. What's wrong?"”
Yi Zhonghai said," An old man in his seventies with no children should be able to apply for the Five Protectors. This old lady's request doesn't seem to be a problem, right?"”
Associate Chief Physician Dai was amused.
"I say, Old Yi, you just said that you were capable. Why are you so muddle-headed the moment you turn around? Was he talking about her age and her loneliness now? He didn't know where she had come from.”
"What if he wants to enter the city?”
"Once you set up a five-guarantee household for her, won't those old people in the countryside, whether they are supported or not, run to our Nanluogu Alley when they find out?”
Yi Zhonghai smiled apologetically and said,"
"Director Yi, you misunderstood me. What I meant was that if I vouch for the old lady and prove that she is indeed from Nanluoguxiang, wouldn't this matter be solved?”
Chief Physician Dai laughed out loud and pointed at Yi Zhonghai."Old Yi, oh Old Yi, you really have guts.”
Yi Zhonghai also smiled and said," I'm not timid at all. I'm just helping the leaders share their burdens. Director Dai, do you think about the election? Can you…"
Chief Physician Dai nodded.
"You can handle this first. After it's done, I'll go back and ask Director Zheng to give you some qinggong. It's just a manager, so there shouldn't be any problem.”
"Then I'll thank Director Dai in advance.”
Yi Zhonghai finally got what he wanted to hear and thanked Director Dai with satisfaction.
…………
The next day.
Li Huaimin noticed that Yi Zhonghai was absent again after all the workers had gone to work.
The last time he applied for leave, he had gone back to his hometown to look for Qin Huairu.
Did he want to do something again?
Just as Li Huaimin was thinking about this, a person suddenly walked in from outside the workshop. It was the class monitor of the canteen, He Daqing.
"Old Li, I'm busy."
He Daqing's voice was so loud that everyone in the workshop looked over.
Li Huaimin let Jia Dongxu continue to operate while he walked towards He Daqing and said with a smile,""Daqing, why did you come to our workshop so early in the morning?”
He Daqing chuckled,"
"It's not that I'm looking for you for something. It's just that there's something going on in the courtyard today. You've been training your disciples from morning till night these past few days.”
"Oh? What happened in the courtyard?" Li Huaimin asked.
He Daqing put one hand on his waist and said," You haven't heard yet, right? After you and Dongxu left this morning, the street office sent an old lady to our hospital. It's said that she's Yi Zhonghai's distant relative. She even made straw sandals for the soldiers.”
"There's a new person in the courtyard, so we have to get to know each other. That's why the people from the street office have asked all of us to gather tonight and hold a general meeting to greet the new residents.”
Halfway through He Daqing's words, Li Huaimin already knew who this newcomer was.
Li Huaimin didn't see the deaf old lady in the courtyard, so he was still wondering where she went.
So she wasn't arranged to be in this courtyard immediately after they were assigned rooms.
But thinking about it, it made sense. After all, the distribution of housing started among the workers. The earliest houses were all with deeds. How could an old man from the Five Protectors afford to buy a house?
Now that the policy had changed, buying a house had become a thing of the past.
It was more reasonable for the Deaf Old Lady to move in at this time.
"Got it. Dongxu and I will go back to the conference on time tonight.”
Li Huaimin sent He Daqing off and continued to guide Jia Dongxu.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work at night.
The two of them left the rolling mill with the main group. As soon as they returned to the courtyard, they saw the street clerk decorating the venue of the meeting. He moved a table to the foot of the courtyard, then set up a stool and poured hot water into an porcelain jar.
Yi Zhonghai's door was open, and an unfamiliar man was sitting inside.
Li Huaimin vaguely remembered that he seemed to be a deputy director on the street.
She put down her things and washed her face when she heard Yi Zhonghai's shout from outside,"
"It's time for the meeting. Everyone, gather in the middle court. Bring your own stools and hurry up.”
They had been informed in advance that there would be a meeting, so the residents gathered quite quickly.
Li Huaimin also took a stool and walked out. As soon as he went out, he found a place to sit by the side.
In less than five minutes, everyone in the hospital had arrived except for the children.
Yi Zhonghai stood at the square table and glanced at the audience. He said to Deputy Director Dai, who was behind the table,""Director Dai, all the residents in the hospital have arrived. Do you think we should announce the start of the meeting?”
Associate Chief Physician Dai sat on the stool and took a sip of water from the porcelain jar. He then nodded unhurriedly.
Yi Zhonghai immediately understood.
She announced loudly," Neighbors, I have gathered everyone here today for one thing. Our courtyard has a new resident today. As the saying goes, having an old person in the house is like having a treasure. Old Madam, please come up and introduce yourself to everyone first.”
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, the Deaf Old Lady, who was sitting at the front of the crowd, stood up.
She turned around and said to everyone," Hello, neighbors. My old lady is already old and muddle-headed. She has even forgotten her name. Moreover, her ears are not very good. Everyone can just call me Deaf Old Lady from now on.”
"My old lady has no one to rely on. In the future, when I live in this courtyard, everyone will be my juniors. I hope that everyone can care more about the elderly in the future. Respecting the elderly and loving the young is our virtue.”
