Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Chapter 337 The Deaf Old Lady Is Gone

When Li Pingan told the reason why Dr. Hu couldn't get a room, He Yushui and Dr. Hu fell into silence.Li Pingan didn't care what they were thinking, picked up the chopsticks he had just put down, and ate on his own.Not to mention, I haven't eaten Sha Zhu's dishes for a few days, and now I really miss him.

Since Shazhu was hospitalized, the cook who was arranged for Shazhu in the factory was really mediocre, and the food was tasteless, which was better than that of the big mother. During this time, Chief Li had fewer dinner parties in the small cafeteria.

Ding Qiunan has a good relationship with He Yushui. When he saw that He Yushui was in a bad mood, he pulled the corner of Li Pingan's clothes under the table and asked Li Pingan to think of a way.

Li Pingan didn't respond to Ding Qiunan's tugging. He kept talking about the plate of spicy chicken on the table. It tasted really good. The spicy Li Pingan kept breathing in.

Not only Ding Qiunan pulled Li Pingan under the table, but Xu Yanxia next to him also kept winking at Shazhu.

Silly Zhu knew why Xu Yanxia was so active, but he also knew in his heart that what Li Pingan said just now was indeed a rule, and in their situation, there was no chance to divide the house.

Looking at Xu Yanxia, ​​then at He Yushui, who had a bad face, Silly sighed, and then said hesitantly: "Brother Ping'an, I know you have great powers in the factory, can you think of a way for me, isn't Chen Youfu, Director Chen, who is in charge of allocating the house this time? You know him well, as long as you can divide the house, you can even give him some gifts."

"What are you talking about? Who do you think the factory leaders are? How could it be possible for Chen Chu to accept your gift and let me take the lead? You treat me like a pimp! Brother Zhuzi, don't say this again in the future." Li Pingan slapped his chopsticks on the table, turned his head and pretended to look at Shazhu seriously and said.

If it's something else, Li Ping'an doesn't mind earning a little money from Sha Zhu. The problem lies in the matter of house distribution. There are too many people staring at this matter, and they are too sensitive and no one dares to intervene.

The leaders of the factory are active on their own, and it’s okay to build a house. If they collect money privately to allocate houses to the workers in the factory, it will be a big problem.

Now that the older generation is still in their posts, there are too many people who are honest and honest officials who can't take sand in their eyes. If things get serious, even Li Huaide can't keep himself. At that time, he can only leave the rolling mill in despair, and follow Mr. Wang to the General Administration of Materials to fool around.

Yi Zhonghai also looked at Silly Zhu with an unhappy expression: "Zhuzi, look what you are talking about. Ping An is the leading cadre in the factory, how can he bribe you for you? If people find out about this, won't it harm Ping An?"

Only then did Silly Zhu realize that he had said the wrong thing just now, and quickly put on a smile, and patted his mouth lightly: "Oh, look, I'm really sorry, I said the wrong thing, don't take it for granted."

"That's right, Zhuzi, what are you talking about?" Xu Yanxia patted Silly Zhu angrily, then turned her head to look at Li Pingan, with a smile on her face: "Brother Pingan, don't be as knowledgeable as your brother Zhuzi, he has no culture but is a cook, he doesn't understand anything"

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't know about Brother Zhuzi's personality yet. He panicked because of the rain, and he couldn't choose what to say for a while, but don't even think about giving gifts. There are only so many houses. If you give gifts, you can divide the house. Isn't that a mess?"

Li Pingan waved his hand, indicating that this matter is over, and completely blocked their idea of ​​finding a way from themselves.

After the topic of house allocation ended, everyone started chatting and chatting. The scene was quite lively, and Yu Shui's expression improved a lot, followed by talking and laughing.

Whether or not the house is divided has no effect on He Yushui. Anyway, He Yushui has a house under his name. At worst, he will continue to live in his own house after getting married.

Small is a little small, but it is enough for the young couple to live in. If there is a child in the future, it will be a matter of building a new bed.

Among the people present, only two people were worried about the house.One is Xu Yanxia, ​​and the other is the protagonist Hu Shuai, Doctor Hu.

After all, Hu Shuai is a man, so he still needs to save face. If there is really no other way, he will live in the woman's house after marriage. At that time, others will say a few words behind his back at most, but now that he has the opportunity to allocate a house, he definitely wants to fight for it.

With your own wedding room, you will have the confidence to be the head of the family after marriage.If they live in He Yushui's house after marriage, they may not even be able to be a family in the end.

As for breaking up with He Yushui and finding another one who meets the conditions, Hu Shuai is not stupid, so naturally he would not have such a crazy idea. He Yushui, who has a house, a car and a job, does not want to find a woman who only has a job but no house.

After the dinner was over, Dr. Hu took the initiative to propose to Li Pingan the idea of ​​having a private chat.

Li Pingan naturally understood what he was thinking, did not accept his request, lightly patted Dr. Hu on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Dr. Hu, we have known each other for so long, and you understand me as a person. To put it bluntly, if you can spend some money to do something, I will definitely do it for you, but this is too big. It is not a matter of money. You should stop thinking about it. There is really no chance."

After hearing Li Pingan's earnest words, Dr. Hu was silent for a while, then nodded slowly, as if he had completely given up on the house in the family courtyard.

"Well, if the house can't be divided, it can't be divided. In fact, I also have this self-knowledge. There are so many old employees in our factory, and now they are still squeezed into a small house to make ends meet. The big deal is that I will move to Yushui after I get married. I won't have no place to live."

"That's right, it's good that you have this idea. Our factory has a huge shortage of housing right now. How many young couples who don't have a house are still living in single dormitories. If you want to live a married life, you have to go to the couple's station. As soon as you get married, you have a house to live in, which is already very good."

"It's because my desires are so hard to fill, isn't it just being said behind my back, what is this, just pretend you can't hear it"

"This, this, don't be pessimistic. No one will say anything about you. Everyone knows that housing is tight now. Our factory must still build a family courtyard. When you have children, you can apply for housing at that time. At that time, the chances of approval will be very high." Li Pingan rubbed his nose and said awkwardly.

Although these words are suspected of not hurting his back while standing up and talking, that's all he can say. The house is indeed a real problem, and there is really no way to solve it for him.

After parting with Dr. Hu, Ding Qiunan had already taken a shower when he returned to his home, and was waiting on the bed for Li Pingan to come back.

As soon as Li Pingan entered the room, Ding Qiunan stepped forward and grabbed Li Pingan's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Ping'an, have you talked to your uncle about the house we are assigned to the family courtyard? I saw that uncle's expression was wrong when we were eating just now."

"No, I'm thinking about this matter after the house allocation list comes out, and I'll talk about it. It's still early, and it's meaningless to say it, but you reminded me. I'll go talk to my uncle about this house some other day."

At night, Li Pingan also noticed the change in Yi Zhonghai's expression. He knew what was going on in the old man's head.

During the period of travelling, Lao Yi was really kind to him. It was a decision to give him a pension. Even if Li Pingan moved away, he would not refuse to give him a pension.

For Li Pingan, there is nothing difficult about providing for the elderly. It is nothing more than spending money to find a nanny. What he pays is the nanny's salary and the time it takes to visit him.

"Okay, as long as you know what's in your mind, you can go talk to your uncle tomorrow and tell him not to think too much about it. We will definitely take care of the pension in the future."

Ding Qiunan saw that Li Pingan knew what was in his mind, so he didn't say anything more. After giving Li Pingan a few words, he went to the dressing table to apply cream on his face.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, accompanied by a sharp scream, the four of Yi Zhonghai who were eating stopped eating, put down their rice bowls, and looked up.

"I heard that the noise came from the backyard. What happened in the backyard?" The aunt looked at the door of the room and asked suspiciously.

Yi Zhonghai glanced outside, didn't take it seriously, picked up his job bowl again and prepared to eat: "Let's go and have a look after dinner, it's really worrying, I don't know what's going on in the backyard early in the morning."

Just when the family was about to continue eating, another shout came from the backyard

"Come quickly, the old deaf lady is gone"

Hearing the news that the deaf old lady was gone, Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, his mind went blank, and after he realized it, he quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, and ran quickly towards the backyard.

The three of Li Pingan also ran out with Yi Zhonghai.

"What's going on here, the deaf old lady was fine last night, why did she disappear after sleeping all night?" The aunt walked anxiously to the backyard, chatting sadly about why the deaf old lady suddenly disappeared.

"As we get older, our body organs degenerate. The death of the elderly is not only due to illness, but it is also a matter of time for many people. Let's go see the old lady for the last time."

Although Li Pingan had opinions on the deaf old lady, those opinions disappeared with the wind. At this time, Li Pingan felt a little uncomfortable, after all, he was an old man who had lived in a courtyard for so long.

When a group of people hurried to the backyard, there were already many people around the backyard.

At this time, Xu Yanxia's face was pale, and she sat slumped at the door of the deaf old lady with dull eyes. Liu Haizhong was standing beside Xu Yanxia, ​​asking what she kept asking.

After Yi Zhonghai arrived at the door, he didn't rush in. He looked at Xu Yanxia, ​​wanting to know what was going on.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, what's the matter with the old lady?"

Silly Zhu, who also heard the shout, stumbled to the backyard with a tear in the corner of his eye.

"Pillar, the old lady is gone!"

Seeing Sha Zhu approaching, Xu Yanxia regained her composure, and quickly stepped forward to grab Sha Zhu's arm.

Silly Zhu took Xu Yanxia's hand and asked anxiously: "What's the matter, didn't you come to deliver food to the old lady? Why is the good old lady gone?"

Xu Yanxia wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and slowly began to describe what happened just now.

Just now Xu Yanxia finished cooking and came to deliver food to the deaf old lady. She yelled twice at the door, but she didn't hear the deaf old lady's response, so she opened the door and walked in.

But when I went to the bedside to look, I found that the deaf old lady's face was not right, so I boldly stretched out my hand to touch it, and found that the old lady's body had long been cold.

At this time, everyone in the courtyard had already arrived, and when they heard Xu Yanxia's narration, everyone's expressions were not very good.

"The old lady's face was flushed yesterday, and she was speaking in an angry manner. Why did she just pass overnight, just..."

"Hey, the deaf old lady is not sick or in trouble, why is she gone after sleeping?"

"It's really life, old age, sickness and death, the world is impermanent"

Listening to everyone's discussion in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai's face became more and more sad. Although there were some minor conflicts in the past two years, he was an old man who had been taking care of him for so many years.

Yi Zhonghai waved his hands to everyone, and said after the voice stopped, "Okay, don't talk about it, let's go in and see the old lady for the last time."

After talking to the audience, he turned his head to look at Shazhu again: "Zhuzi, the old lady usually likes you the most, and the old lady said before she was alive that she would leave this house to you, so you can send the old lady to the old lady for the last time."

At this moment, Sha Zhu, who was already in tears, nodded fiercely after hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, and walked into the deaf old lady's house first.

As soon as Shazhu entered, there was a violent cry, and everyone outside heard it very badly.

After Silly Zhu cried for a while, Yi Zhonghai waved his hand, and then everyone lined up, one by one, going in to see the deaf old lady for the last time.

For unexplainable reasons, funerals are very simple now, and there is no such custom of the juniors kneeling and kowtowing. At most, everyone bows to the body of the deaf old lady, and then quickly withdraws to give the place to the next worshiper.

When it was Li Pingan's turn, Li Pingan and Ding Qiunan took a brief glance, then bowed reverently to the old lady's body, and patted Shazhu on the shoulder to signal him to take care.

The farewell process went quickly, and all the adults and children in the hospital came, even Xu Damao, who had a blood feud with Sha Zhu, also came to pay homage to the deaf old lady.

"Ping'an, please go to the factory to ask for leave now. I have to deal with the deaf old lady today, so I won't go to work in the factory." After all the sacrifices were over, the haggard Yi Zhonghai asked Li Pingan to go to the factory to ask for leave.

"Is it just you and brother Zhuzi? Can I stay and help?" Seeing Yi Zhonghai who suddenly haggarded down, Li Pingan said worriedly.

Yi Zhonghai forced himself to smile at Li Pingan, and waved his hands: "It's okay, the women in the courtyard will help, we are enough, you go to work quickly, don't be late." After speaking, Yi Zhonghai turned and went back to the deaf old lady's room.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai's slightly bent back, Li Pingan shook his head. It seemed that the death of the old lady had hit Yi Zhonghai quite hard.
