Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Yi Zhonghai's home.

Under the dim light, Yi Zhonghai froze on the spot and hesitated.

The reason why he didn't adopt a child in a nursery in the first place was because it was too troublesome to raise a child. In addition to spending money, it also wasted too much energy.

Yi Zhonghai is a selfish person. He hopes to find someone to support the elderly without paying the price, so he finds Jia Dongxu and Silly Zhu one after another.

It's just that of the two pensioners, one died and the other broke up with him.

Now I have to find another caregiver.

Moreover, He Wenda is now a teenager and will soon become a young man.

Then, with his help, you can enter the steel rolling mill and make money while supporting him in his old age.

This is simply a big white steamed bun falling from the sky.

If it were anyone else, he would have agreed to such a good thing without hesitation, but Yi Zhonghai is so cunning, how could he easily believe Yu Qiuhua's words.

After Yi Zhonghai thought about it and understood it, he looked at Yu Qiuhua coldly: "Yu Qiuhua, are you willing to adopt your son to me?"

Yu Qiuhua was well prepared. He calmly sat on the chair, took a sip of tea from the enamel jar and said, "Yi Zhonghai, you also know the situation of my family. Although we have some food now, neither He Wenyuan nor I have a job. It's like sitting back and living in vain. Life like this won't last long. Instead of letting He Wenda live a hard life with us, it's better to find a good family for him.

Everyone in our compound knows that you, Master Yi, are an eighth-level fitter in the steel rolling mill, with a monthly salary of 99 yuan. You are infertile and have no children. You are in urgent need of a caregiver. Even if He Wenda comes to your Yi family , you will definitely not let him be wronged.

In addition, we also have He Wentao in our family. Although he is squatting in the fence now, he will be able to come out soon. He Wentao is the eldest son of our He family, and he will be able to provide for me until the end of my life. "

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai narrowed his eyes slightly, and he felt it. Yu Qiuhua's statement is quite realistic.

Especially now, there is no one making money in Yu Qiuhua's family. Even if he has the little food Liu Haizhong has, he probably won't be able to survive even for a month.

Of course, if he replaced all those fine white noodles with stick noodles, he might be able to last a few more months.

But who is Yu Qiuhua? She only ate fine white noodles at first. How could she eat those sticky stick noodles?

Of course, Yi Zhonghai did not believe Yu Qiuhua immediately.

But I know Xiuhua too well. Such a person has always been unprofitable, so how could he give his son to him for nothing?

Yi Zhonghai raised his head and looked up, and said coldly to Yu Qiuhua: "Yu Qiuhua, we have been neighbors for so many years and know each other well enough. Don't hide it. You came to our house today." Just tell me what you want, but I warn you, my little savings have been spent long ago.

It is simply impossible for you to blackmail me for a sum of money like you blackmailed Liu Haizhong.

Especially now, I feel that as long as I have savings in hand, it doesn’t matter if I don’t have a son.

When I get old, as long as I have savings and a house, wouldn't it be easy to find someone to support me in my old age? "

When Yu Qiuhua heard what Yi Zhonghai said, she felt sad. If she had come to the courtyard earlier and Yi Zhonghai's money had not been defrauded by Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, she might have been able to make a fortune this time.

She put down the enamel jar, stood up and smiled awkwardly: "Yi Zhonghai saw what you said, everyone is a neighbor. You used to be the eldest son of the courtyard. You should know the rules in the courtyard. Everyone should help each other. Rather than tearing each other down.

So how could I blackmail you? "

She paused for a moment and then said: "But you also know that it is not easy to raise a child so big, especially He Wenda, a child who has been pampered since he was a child. I have to raise him up. Is it easy for me?"
Therefore, necessary compensation is still needed. "

"Of course I don't want a lot, just 4 gold bars."

As soon as these words came out, Yi Zhonghai's expression changed a little. He stared at Yu Qiuhua in disbelief and said, "Gold bars? Yu Qiuhua, what are you thinking? Who dares to have gold bars in this era?"

"I'm not a wealthy landlord. I'm just a child born from a poor farmer. Where can I find gold bars?"

When Yi Zhonghai said these words, he was muttering in his heart. When he first took out the gold bars, he paid special attention that no one around him saw him.

Only then would the gold bars be quietly brought to the capital. How could anyone know about it now?

The No. [-] Middle School also counted everyone in the compound, but no suitable candidate came to mind.

Most of the people in the compound are fools, and the only smart one is Wang Weidong.

But Wang Weidong is the director of a large factory and is busy in the factory every day, so how could he follow him.

Yu Qiuhua had been secretly observing Yi Zhonghai's expression, and saw that although Yi Zhonghai's face was calm, his eyes were panicked, and he felt confident at that time.

She snorted coldly and said, "Don't think we don't know about Yi Zhonghai's secret possession of gold bars. The reason why I'm here today is that I already have full evidence.

Logically speaking, it is illegal to hide gold bars privately. I can report you directly to the street office.

But who makes us neighbors? As I said just now, neighbors should help each other and should not tear each other down.

So I'll spare you this time.

No, no, no, not only will I spare you, but I will also adopt my son to you.

As long as you give me four gold bars. "

Yu Qiuhua's toughness was beyond Yi Zhonghai's expectation.

Looking at Yu Qiuhua with a serious look on his face, Yizhong and Yi couldn't figure out how much this old guy knew.

But he knew he must not admit it at this time.

Yi Zhonghai said with a straight face: "Yu Qiuhua, it's late. You should go back now. Let's talk about anything tomorrow."

Yu Qiuhua was not in a hurry, smiled at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Old Yi, I'll go back first, and come to our house to find me when you figure it out."

After saying this, she picked up He Wenda and turned around to leave.

As soon as Qiuhua's figure disappeared into the darkness, Yi Zhonghai's brows knitted into knots.

He turned to look at the aunt behind him: "Are we telling others about the gold bars in our house?"

The aunt frowned: "Lao Yi, how is this possible? When Mrs. Long handed the gold bars to you, you didn't tell me the truth. You only told me that I had the gold bars, but you didn't tell me where they were buried or where they were buried.

In addition, I also know that the origin of the gold bars is unknown. If this matter spreads, our family will be in big trouble. In this case, how can I tell outsiders about the gold bars. "

Although Yi Zhonghai was dissatisfied with Auntie, he felt that Auntie had done nothing in her life and could never accomplish anything. She would only do housework at home all day long.

But he knew that Aunt Yi was a very strict person.

Yi Zhonghai has done a lot of things secretly over the years, but Auntie has never revealed it to the outside world.

If it hadn't been like this, No. [-] Middle School might have slept in jail long ago. After Yi Zhonghai thought for a while, he felt a little unclear.

But the most critical question at the moment is whether to accept He Wenda as his son.

The aunt's opinion on this matter is that she naturally wants to accept it.

She looked at Yi Zhonghai and said: "Old Yi, that kid He Wenda, although he is Yu Qiuhua's son, performs well on weekdays and is completely different from He Wenyuan and He Wenda.

He doesn't chirp all day long in the compound, nor does he make trouble. He is a good boy.

Especially a while ago, I was washing clothes by the sink and almost fell. He Wenda passed by and hugged me.

Also, I heard that He Wentao's academic performance was pretty good before. He is a smart kid. If he follows you in the future and works in a large steel factory for a few years, he will definitely become a senior worker.

At that time, your monthly salary is 99 yuan, plus He Wenda's salary, which is 50 yuan. With so much money, our family can't finish it no matter how much we eat.

Also, He Wenda's situation is different from Silly Zhu's.

Silhu was very old back then, so he got closer to us, but He Wenda is still very young now, so we asked us to educate him carefully, and maybe he would treat us like his biological parents.

In addition, just as Yu Qiuhua said, the real son of the He family is He Wentao, not He Wenda, and Yu Qiuhua does not expect He Wenda to help him and her in their old age. "

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was still hesitant, the aunt continued: "I know you were scared away by Silly Zhu and Qin Huairu, but this is indeed a good opportunity. Both of us are not young anymore. If we keep looking for you for a long time, If you don’t provide for the elderly, it may be difficult to find one in this life.

At that time, although you will have retirement salary, but no one will help us, just the two old guys, we may not even be able to eat a hot meal.

Just look at Lao Zhou in the front yard and you will know. "

Yi Zhonghai knew who Auntie was talking about, Lao Zhou.

Lao Zhou is also a worker in the steel rolling mill. He was also a coworker of Yi Zhonghai back then, but he is just more than ten years older than Yi Zhonghai and has retired long ago.

Lao Zhou's situation was similar to that of Yi Zhonghai. He was also infertile. He married three wives in his life, but failed to give birth to a single child.

After retirement, Lao Zhou can get a retirement salary of more than 60 yuan per month.

With so much money, even if it is placed in any person's home, the family can live a very prosperous life. Although they cannot eat meat every meal because they don't have enough meat tickets, Dabai Steamed Buns can always manage it.

But with such favorable conditions, Yi Zhonghai went to visit Lao Zhou a while ago, only to find that Lao Zhou had lost a lot of weight. The house was dirty and full of strange smells. On the kitchen stove, there were several dry dishes. The steamed buns have grown hair.

After asking carefully, I realized that Lao Zhou had been ill recently, and it was difficult to even get up from bed, let alone cooking.

Those steamed buns were given to Lao Zhou by a neighbor who felt sorry for him.

Seeing Lao Zhou's miserable look at that time, Yi Zhonghai thought of what he would be like when he got old.

but.

The problem now is that Yu Qiuhua needs four gold bars before he will hand over He Wenda to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai frowned and looked at his aunt: "That old Yu Qiuhua wants gold bars."

"If she didn't want the gold bars, I wouldn't be so relieved!" said the eldest mother.

Yi Zhonghai's eyes widened: "What do you mean?"

The aunt continued: "Think about it, Yu Qiuhua is the kind of person who is greedy for cheap, and He Wenda is her son. If we don't shed any blood, Yu Qiuhua will give He Wenda to us. You can safely accept it." Do you want to get off?"

Yi Zhonghai thought about it carefully and realized that it was really the case.

He also knew something about Liu Haizhong and Yu Qiuhua's affairs a while ago.

Although Yu Qiuhua took the opportunity to extort a lot of money and face from Liu Haizhong, he really took the risk and reported Yan Bugui to the subdistrict office.

In addition, at Liu Haizhong's request, he risked being arrested and pulled the report letter back from Director Wang of the Street Office.

From this perspective, although Yu Qiuhua is greedy for money, he is a person who keeps his promises.

After Yi Zhonghai made up his mind, he began to plan how to transport the gold bars to the capital.

He knew very well that this matter had been exposed. If he waited until tomorrow, Yu Qiuhua might follow him.

So I immediately stood up and went inside to start changing into thick clothes.

Looking at the busy Yi Zhonghai, the aunt knew that he was going back to his hometown.

Although Auntie didn't know the specific location where the gold bars were hidden, Yi Zhonghai always brought back some gold bars every time he went back to his hometown, which proved the problem.

On normal days, the aunt would definitely not ask anything and just pretend she didn't know.

But now the life of the Yi family is very difficult, and the aunt has to make plans for the future.

After closing the door, she looked at Yi Zhonghai and whispered, "Old Yi, how many gold bars did the deaf old lady leave to you?"

Yi Zhonghai was getting dressed. He was stunned for a moment when he heard these words, and lowered his voice and said, "Why do you ask this?"

"Looking at what you said, I am also a member of this family, so naturally I have to ask clearly. Besides, when He Wenda comes to our house, our family's expenses will increase. You don't care about housework or serve food all day long. I don’t understand the situation when buying vegetables at the market.

In the past two years, as the shortage of materials has worsened, the prices of both food and vegetables have increased a lot.

That's not all. What's more serious is that some eggs and pork cannot be bought even with coupons. They can only be purchased at the pigeon market.

The price is even higher.

As the head of the house, how can I plan for the future if I don’t know how much inventory I have in my house. "

Yi Zhonghai originally didn't plan to tell Auntie the truth, but now seeing her insistence, he could only sit on the bedside after getting dressed and explained: "It's not that I won't tell you, but it's a bit complicated. I was deaf back then." The old lady was admitted to the hospital. Seeing that she was out of breath, the doctor had issued critical illness notices several times. The deaf old lady suddenly woke up and wanted me to call Silly Zhu to the hospital.

I knew what this old guy was thinking at that time.

She must want to give all the gold, silver and jewelry to Silly Zhu.

So, I deliberately lied to her, saying that Silly Zhu went to another place to help the leader cook.

The deaf old lady had no choice but to hand over some of the gold bars to me. "

"Part of it? How do you know it's part?" the eldest mother said in surprise.

Yi Zhonghai took out a book from the drawer and handed it over: "At that time, after the deaf old lady told me where the gold bars were buried, she gave the book to me and asked me to pass it on to Shazhu."
