Yu Li quickly went back after clearing the bowls. She was in a happy mood and hummed a little tune as she left, leaving behind Su Yi who was reading Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason".
Su Yi felt that this book was very suitable for his state of mind at this moment. What he needed most now was to criticize himself purely and rationally.
Before Su Yicun could come up with anything, someone knocked on the door again.
"Yuan Korea? Are you at home?" A mother's voice came from outside the door, but Su Yi listened to the footsteps and saw that there were two people coming, one of whom seemed to have some difficulty walking.
He walked over and opened the door and saw that it was indeed two people - the aunt and the deaf old lady.
"Hey, old lady, aunt, please come in, please come in..."
Su Yi let people into the house and was about to pour tea. Auntie stopped him and handed him a bag and said: "This is what Liu Guifen from the community asked me to give to you. She also asked you to go to the housing management bureau to pay the money."
.”
"I know, thank you, Auntie." Su Yi took it and put it aside casually.
"Why are you thanking me for something convenient?" The eldest mother waved her hand, "That's all I have to say. The main reason is that the old lady wants to chat with you, so I'll send her here. Then you can chat while I leave first."
Su Yi didn't stop her and sent Aunt Ma out with a smile.
"By the way, when you finish talking later, you go up to the courtyard and call me, and I'll take the old lady back." The eldest mother said.
"I won't bother you to make another trip, I'll send you off," Su Yi said.
"Okay, let's go back." The eldest mother smiled and waved her hands, then turned and walked towards the central courtyard.
Su Yi returned to the house and said to the deaf old lady: "Old lady, I'll pour you some plain water, but not the tea. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep at night after drinking the tea."
The old lady smiled and said: "Good boy, my wife is willing to drink anything. Come and sit down, let's have a good chat."
Su Yi poured water for her, then came back and sat across from her.
"To aid Korea, do you have any relatives over there?" the deaf old lady asked kindly.
The next period of time was spent on family matters. The old lady asked questions about Su Yi's situation, but she didn't get to the point.
Su Yitai understood the rhythm and routine of the older generation's conversation, and he could keep his composure and chatted with the old lady with a smile, without any sign of impatience.
It wasn't until the deaf old lady felt that it was almost done that she turned to the topic.
"My old lady can see that you are indeed a good child." The deaf old lady said, "If nothing else, someone of your age can sit here quietly and listen to my old lady talking nonsense for a long time.
It's so rare to find someone with a smiling face, even stupid people can't do it. He is impatient and impatient, and will run away after not hearing a few words. Alas, it's a pity. From now on, he just wants to listen to my old lady's nagging, so I'm afraid
There is no such chance."
Su Yi smiled and said, "If he wants to listen, he still has a chance."
"Oh? My brain is hard to use at my age." The deaf old lady said with a smile, "Tell me how you can have a chance."
"Old lady, the fact that you came to me shows that you have a clear mind." Su Yi smiled and said, "You must have learned about Brother Zhuzi's situation, right?"
"No wonder people say you are an expert." The old lady said, "So, I came to you with the right person, not the wrong person."
Su Yi nodded and said: "You are right to come to me. I can talk to the two factory directors in the factory. If Brother Zhuzi's affairs are transferred to the factory, at least he will not have to go to jail. Besides, this
I'm willing to help if you want. That night, two gangsters came into my house with a guy in their arms. Brother Zhuzhu took action without saying a word. For this reason, I can't just stand by and watch if something happens to his friend."
The old lady sat up slightly: "Then how did this matter come to the factory?"
"This is the crux of the problem." Su Yi said with a smile, "Old lady, if you can find me, then someone must have told you what to do, right?"
The old lady stared at Su Yi for a while before nodding: "I probably heard it for a while, but I don't quite understand it."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. There must be some understanding people in this courtyard." Su Yi said with a smile, "The first uncle must understand, and the third uncle also understands. The second uncle knows whether he understands or not, but as long as the three uncles can ventilate, he will
It’s time to understand and you can understand.”
After a pause, Su Yi pretended to be puzzled and said: "When it comes to this, I don't understand. Old lady, these three uncles are all sensible people, why did you come to me first? Even if I can be in the factory
Speaking of which, it was only after Brother Zhuzi's matter was transferred to the factory. You, you came to me a little early."
"Maliciousness from Lu Nianqing +57..."
The deaf old lady looked at Su Yi with a smile: "You lost the meat. That chicken... is actually yours too. Fu Guier has been picking it since he was a child. If it were really his chicken, there is no way he would have left it outside your house."
Since you are the one who lost everything, there is nothing wrong with asking you for this matter."
"The old lady is bullying a good person." Su Yi sighed, "If no one else can save people, you come to me; if others don't want to offend people, why don't you come to me?"
"With my old lady backing you, what are you afraid of?" said the deaf old lady.
"That's you. If others say it, I won't say it here." Su Yi said, "Old lady, I'll give you two reasons. If you still think you have to do it with me, then you should just treat me as a bad boy. I'll send you away."
You go back to your house and rest."
"I won't force you. Madam is not someone who forces things on others." The old lady patted Su Yi on the back of the hand kindly, "Good boy, you say it, Madam listens."
Su Yi nodded. No matter how partial the old lady was to Silly Zhu, at least she was not a "moral gentleman" like Yi Zhonghai and could listen to her words.
"First of all, Brother Zhuzhu is voluntary. I tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen. So I can't do this. It's okay if I don't get it right. The key point is that Brother Zhuzhu may not appreciate it. I
Why bother?"
The deaf old lady was thoughtful.
"Secondly, the elders who understand things pretend to be ignorant and don't stop when they see Brother Zhuzi fall into the trap. Why? Forget it for the second uncle, he has a bad relationship with Brother Zhuzi; the third uncle should not be a scholar.
Is this how you seek good fortune and avoid misfortune? What I can’t understand the most is that the uncle, old lady, and Brother Zhuzhu treat him with respect, right? He just looks at him like this and doesn’t say a word?"
Su Yi finally said: "Old lady, let me tell you this, I am also waiting to see the follow-up results of this matter. Adversity shows one's heart. If everyone in the neighborhood is willing to lend a hand to Brother Zhuzi, I am willing to take it.
With this power, I can be the last one to pull him out of the pit. But if everyone just watches indifferently, this courtyard will be my temporary resting place. I can't get out of the mud without being stained, and I can't think without being dirty.
For my own sake, I’d better withdraw as soon as possible.”
The deaf old lady looked at Su Yi with a complex expression. It took her a long time to digest the content of Su Yi's words. She sighed and said, "My child, your words made my wife blush... But your words make sense! We
After living a lifetime, the more you live, the better you become, and the more you live, the less interesting you become. OK, my wife knows what to do about this matter."
After a pause, she added: "But you have to give your wife a right word. Either you are forced to express your position, or your wife is not at ease."
"Say." Su Yi said.
"If this thief thing in the courtyard is gone and Si Zhu's matter is transferred back to the factory, how much can you do to help Si Zhu?" said the deaf old lady.
Su Yi thought for a while and said: "He will definitely not be able to work as a cook, and he will definitely do it to the end. I won't be sloppy with you, I can protect him from being fired, but the salary, position, etc. must be
Lower it to a lower level, otherwise there will be no way to explain."
"It's an unexpected surprise that I can keep my job." The deaf old lady breathed a sigh of relief, "This is already very good."
"But Brother Zhuzi's character may not be able to withstand this gap." Su Yi said, "Rolling eyes and cynicism will definitely be indispensable in the future. I guess he will have to fight with others sooner or later, and in the end he will simply resign out of anger."
"How dare he!" the old lady glared, "It's so shocking to him!"
"He really has a bad temper, you can't stop him." Su Yi said with a smile.
The old lady said in frustration: "That's right, well, I have to find him a wife and take good care of him."
She thought for a while, but in the end she couldn't figure out the reason. She shook her head and said, "Just take it one step at a time. My dear, thank you madam. It's not for Silly Zhu, it's for myself."
"Why are you thanking me?" Su Yi smiled.
"If you disrespect me, I won't be able to listen to these words. I know it in my heart." The old lady stood up slowly while holding on to the table. Su Yi hurriedly got up and gave her a hand.
The old lady held Su Yi's hand, raised her head and said with a smile: "There will be a general meeting in the hospital later, so you can watch the fun. Madam wants you to see what He Qing Haiyan is."
"Then I'll wait and see." Su Yi said with a smile.
The old lady patted his hand and said, "Send me to Yi Zhonghai's place. I'll have a rest when I get back and wait to hear the news."
"Okay." Su Yi smiled and helped the old lady out.
As soon as he went out, he met Bang Gu running in from the yard, covered in dust. When he saw Su Yi and the old lady, he was stunned for a moment, gave Su Yi full malice, then turned around and ran away.
"He doesn't greet anyone when he sees his wife. This kid really needs education!" the deaf old lady snorted.
Su Yi smiled and said nothing. He helped the deaf old lady to the door of Yi Zhonghai's house. The aunt came out and took the old lady in. Su Yi turned around and went home, and then read his "Critique of Pure Reason".
Three minutes later, the eldest mother walked out of the door with a solemn face and hurriedly walked out of the courtyard.
After a while, the dark-faced elder Yi Zhonghai also went out with his hands behind his back, went to the front yard and the backyard respectively, and called Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui to his home.
Twenty minutes later, the three uncles, one for each courtyard, knocked on the door and informed everyone to attend the courtyard-wide meeting.
In less than ten minutes, everyone gathered in the front yard, buzzing loudly, curiously discussing why there was another hospital meeting.
The hospital-wide meetings have been held quite frequently these days...
When the third uncle went to call Su Yi, he quietly gave Su Yi some gossip in advance.
"The old lady in the backyard is angry. She thinks the big guy doesn't care about her grandson, Silly Zhu." The third uncle said mysteriously, "The matter of you throwing away the meat, and the matter of our chicken before, we have to settle it later.
General Ledger, the Jia family is in trouble!"
"You don't seem very happy," Su Yi said.
The third uncle smiled bitterly: "Can I be happy? The old lady is not afraid of Mr. Jia Zhang's behavior. Ask the others who is not? The key is that Silly Zhu is not a good guy. He himself is willing to take the blame.
Why do you think we have to do such a thankless job? Isn’t this a hot-faced but cold-butted thing? Well, the old lady is the same, she insists on forcing us to express our stance. Didn’t you see that she just hit Lao Yi on the head?
He has two crutches, and Lao Yi doesn’t even dare to hide..."
Su Yi smiled and followed the third uncle out, thinking that this matter was basically settled.
Su Yi didn't move a stool when he went out. As soon as he went out, many neighbors greeted him warmly and asked him to sit in their own seats.
The third uncle also pulled Su Yi to his place and called his youngest son Yan Jiefang to move the stool.
Su Yi originally planned to be respectful rather than obey orders, but when he glanced around, he found a person hiding behind Lou Xiao'e not far away, with his head pulled back.
Xu Damao.
Su Yi was happy, this grandson was hiding from him.
"Third uncle, I'm going to sit there. I have something to talk to Damao." Su Yi pointed to Lou Xiao'e's position, smiled and said hello to Yan Fugui, and walked over.
"The malice from Xu Damao +99, the fear from Xu Damao +99..."
"Are the aid coming to Korea?" Lou Xiao'e was a little surprised when Su Yi came over. She looked a little embarrassed, but she still greeted her politely, "I see you don't have a stool to sit on, so come and squeeze in with us? Damao - Damao, why are you hiding behind me?"
The aid to Korea is coming, and you don’t even say hello!”
"I, I didn't hide, I just got something in my eye. Ahem, yes, I got something in my eye." Xu Damao stood up with an unnatural expression and greeted Su Yi with a smile, "DPRK aid is coming?
Sit down, sit down quickly!"
"Is it appropriate?" Su Yi said with a smile, "You said I didn't go to the treat tonight, so Sister-in-law Xiao'e made a table of delicious dishes in vain, right?"
"Maliciousness from Xu Damao +99..."
"Maliciousness from Lou Xiao'e +77..."
The two couples were extremely embarrassed. Xu Damao was better off, but Lou Xiao'e blushed as red as a monkey's butt.
"This...it's all Damao's fault!" Lou Xiao'e decisively betrayed her husband, "We agreed to treat him, but he never came back. I don't know whether I should cook the food or not. If you aid Korea, you don't know. He hasn't come back yet.
By twenty minutes, being sneaky is like being a thief..."
"You must be avoiding me, right?" Su Yi looked at Xu Damao with a smile, "Da Mao, it's not enough for one meal. If it doesn't work, I won't eat it."
"No, no, it's definitely not the reason..." Lou Xiao'e hurriedly denied it in embarrassment, feeling that she was almost losing her face, "Da Mao, please speak! If you're not ashamed and I'm so embarrassed, it's all your fault!"
"I'm definitely not hiding to aid Korea, you misunderstood me." Xu Damao explained with a smile, "I just... what, work overtime, I went to work overtime! The boss arranged for me to go to the countryside to show a movie tomorrow, really, you
Look, I even took notes..."
In order to prove what he said, Xu Damao also took out a notebook and showed it to Su Yi.
"Let me take a look." Su Yi took the notebook and turned around, sat down on the bench they moved to, and opened the notebook.
Xu Damao pointed to the words on it and said, "Did you see it, Red Star Commune, seven o'clock in the evening."
"It's true." Su Yi said.
"That's right!" Xu Damao smiled in apology, feeling relieved.
But the next moment he was startled.
He saw Su Yi take out a folded piece of paper from his arms and spread it out. The paper was filled with words.
Then Su Yi put the piece of paper and the notebook together, pointed at the words on it and compared them two by two.
"..."
This piece of paper is clearly the report letter he wrote that morning!
