Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Chapter 10 The Deaf Old Lady

Under the envious eyes of everyone in the courtyard, the first uncle called Xie Cheng from the Yan family, Jiefang and Liu Guangfu from the second uncle's family, and Liu Guangtian brothers to help carry the furniture back.

The elder was in charge of commanding, and six people were in charge of carrying the furniture. They came to the side room allocated to Li Pingan by the middle court, and the first mother was waiting here. Under the command of the first mother, the newly purchased furniture was quickly arranged properly.

After finishing his work, Li Pingan subconsciously took out a cigarette from his pocket, and felt embarrassingly in his pocket before realizing that he didn't smoke.Fortunately, the first mother was prepared and handed Li Pingan a bag of big front doors.

Li Pingan quickly unpacked the cigarettes, scattered the cigarettes one by one, and said words of thanks while handing the cigarettes.By the way, I also lit one for myself. In this day and age, there are very few non-smokers. In this era of lack of entertainment, there is nothing else to do except sleep at night. This cigarette is spiritual food.

The 6 people smoked and farted in a circle, briefly introduced each other, and after the cigarette was finished, everyone said goodbye and left one after another.

Now it's almost time for dinner, and everyone knows that it's not bad to do such a small favor with a cigarette, but it's not enough to make a living.

Why stay here if you don't leave, Li Pingan hasn't fired yet, and the uncle doesn't know how to take care of the food.

When I returned to my side room, I saw my mother and my uncle wiping the newly bought furniture with a rag. Li Pingan hurried to pick up the rag from the old man. The old man stopped Li Pingan and said

"It'll be over soon, don't touch your hands, you get the dirty water, and then go to the sink to get a basin of water"

Li Pingan came to the pool, Qin Huairu did not wash clothes here, after all, he had already got Sha Zhu's lunch box.

After receiving the water, Li Pingan quickly wiped the furniture clean.Then the first mother brought a set of mattresses and mats.With the help of Li Pingan, the bed was quickly made.

The three of them returned to Da Ye's house, and Da Ma had already steamed the steamed buns.

"It's safe, wash your hands, I'll heat up the dishes now, and I'll be ready to eat later"

"Okay, auntie, heat up the food first, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative at the intersection now to buy some daily necessities"

When the uncle heard that Li Pingan was going to the supply and marketing cooperative, he asked
"Do you have a money ticket in your hand? If not, I'll give you some"

"No need, uncle, I was subsidized when I went to technical secondary school, and I have saved some money in the past few years, so I have money in my pocket"

"Okay, then you go, go and come back, dinner will be served soon"

After Li Pingan went out, he looked at the money tickets on his body. There were a lot of tickets, but the money was really not much, only more than 20 yuan.According to my memory, I discovered that Yuan had been in technical secondary school for four years, except that he sent it to his grandfather at home, and he had saved fifty or sixty quick bucks.The funeral expenses of Yuanshen's grandfather passed away this year used up all the inheritance left by his grandfather, and I also used the money saved by Yuanshen.That's all there is left in total.

The main purpose of going to the supply and marketing cooperative this time is to buy toothbrushes, tooth powder, face towels and other supplies. Clothes and the like can be taken care of, but Li Pingan really can't accept these things.

After I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and finished shopping, I suddenly remembered that I still had half a catty of sugar tickets. This was issued by the school, and I was reluctant to use it. It expired this month.After thinking about it, he turned around and went back to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy half a catty of candy for 4 cents.I plan to send two candies to each family in the evening. Candy is a luxury in this era, and two candies are given to new neighbors as soon as they get to know each other. This is not a light gift.

Back in the courtyard, every household is eating at home, and Li Pingan didn't meet the legendary third master, so he went straight back to the middle courtyard
The food in the room is already hot, and apart from the old man and the old mother, the deaf old lady is also at the dining table.

Li Pingan was a little surprised when he saw the deaf old lady, but after thinking about it, he realized that the deaf old lady has always been taken care of by the aunt. There are meat and vegetables at home, so it is normal to ask the deaf old lady to eat.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Li Pingan coming back, he introduced Li Pingan first.

"It's safe, this is the old lady in the backyard, she is the Dinghaishenzhen in our yard, and your aunt has been taking care of it"

After hearing this, Li Pingan also said hello to the deaf old lady,
The deaf old lady didn't show any expression to him, she just nodded and didn't speak.

Li Pingan knew why, didn't the deaf old lady blame herself for snatching Shazhu's "father's help"?

After all, in the plan of the deaf old lady, Sha Zhu will provide for the old man in the future, and the old man's savings and two houses will be owned by Sha Zhu in the future.And there is Yi Zhonghai in the courtyard and various kinds of help in the factory.

After Li Pingan came, can Yi Zhonghai leave his own nephew alone and use Sha Zhu, an outsider?
Unless Li Pingan made it clear that he was unwilling to provide for Yi Zhonghai and his wife in the future, or that Li Pingan's character was not good, then Shazhu would have a chance.

This also involves the issue of the deaf old lady's own real estate. In the TV series, the deaf old lady left the house to Shazhu after her death. It was because Yi Zhonghai and his wife had no children and no heirs, so the house was left to Shazhu. Yi Zhonghai and his wife didn't have any objections, after all, Sha Zhu wanted to provide for him in the old age, but now that Yi Zhonghai has relatives and nephews to take care of him in the old age, can Yi Zhonghai and his wife not fight over this house?
Our couple will take care of you in your old age and provide for you in your old age, and at the end of the day you will give up the house to Shazhu, who would want that.

After Li Pingan figured it out, he was not angry at the deaf old lady's attitude towards him, so he should keep his distance from the deaf old lady in the future.

Li Pingan put the things on the long table, then returned to the dining table and sat down,

The aunt saw that Li Pingan bought candy, and asked
"Why do you buy candy?"

"After all, I'm a newcomer. When my uncle introduces me to the people in the courtyard, it's kind of a gift for the family to give me two sweets."

Yi Zhonghai nodded when he heard it.

"Ping An is thoughtful, we can't let people pick our gifts"

"Okay, then let's eat first, if you don't eat, the food will be cold"

The dinner in the evening was the leftovers from noon, and there was still a lot of meat. The aunt made another dish, and the four of them ate a lot.

The aunt cooked porridge at night and steamed some white flour steamed buns.

Except for the preoccupied look of the deaf old lady, the remaining three enjoyed eating happily.

Soon after the meal, Yi Zhonghai had a conversation with the deaf old lady. After Li Pingan and the first mother cleaned up the table, the first mother helped the deaf old lady to the backyard
Looking at the backs of the two, Li Pingan looked at Yi Zhonghai, and asked knowingly

"Uncle, I think this old lady doesn't like my appearance very much"

Yi Zhonghai frowned when he heard what his nephew said. Li Pingan can think of Yi Zhonghai, but can he say this to his nephew now? He can only comfort him.

"You think too much. It's not that the old lady doesn't like you. It's just that the old lady's personality is like this. She treats strangers like this. It will be fine when you live for a long time in the future."

Li Pingan nodded when he heard that, knowing that this was Yi Zhonghai's words of comfort, he didn't say much. It's not appropriate for him to say this for a newcomer, so he just pointed it out in advance.Lest the deaf old lady speak ill of herself in the back.

"Okay, let's take a break first, digest food, and when your aunt comes back, I will take you to meet the neighbors door to door."
