Before Lin Zhen could speak, Lou Xiao'e hurriedly came out and shouted: "Master, come back quickly and help me take care of the children!"
"Hey, my wife is here!"
Just when he didn't want to answer, the sensible Lou Xiao'e called him into the room.
After Sha'e gave birth to her child, her IQ gradually improved.
"Why are you giggling? Didn't you see that Uncle San is looking for someone to cash in on his membership? You still have to join in the fun." Lou Xiao'e complained with fake anger.
"Hey, what should I hear him say?"
"Then do you want people to use our solar cooker for free?"
"We bought it with our own money. I definitely don't want to. It's not that we don't want to help our neighbors. We can't let people take advantage of you for granted. A bowl of rice and a bowl of rice versus rice and hatred. Later you can go find out how much the third uncle paid.
, Let’s do what he wants.”
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "I have already found out, it costs two yuan per family, and it cannot delay his family's cooking of a meal or boiling a pot of water at noon."
Lin Zhen frowned and said, "Isn't this a bit expensive?"
"It's not expensive. You pay two yuan and you can use it all the time. It won't matter if you use it for ten years. Just stagger the cooking time. It will be enough for five or six families in line."
"Well, that's right. One solar cooker is enough for five or six families. If you put it this way, Uncle San really doesn't want much."
"If he wants four or five yuan for a family, it's called exchanging money to buy it, and the third uncle has no initiative. Now the solar stove still belongs to his family, he has the final say, and it will be empty after the meal is finished, so why not buy it?
People join in."
"Hey! Okay, wife, you are getting smarter and smarter!"
"Hahaha, did you just realize that? Yuhua is also recruiting people to join her in the backyard."
Lin Zhen nodded, "Indeed, if you exchange two yuan, you can use it all the time. It's not a loss. If you don't give up two yuan and just want to take advantage, it would be unreasonable. After all, someone bought it for 25 yuan."
Lou Xiao'e smiled and said: "This means that if everyone is generous, we can live in harmony, otherwise we will be tit-for-tat."
"By the way, wife, I am on a business trip the day after tomorrow. I will go to the Southern Glass Factory. It may take a week."
"Ah? Going on a business trip again?"
"Uh... work arrangements, a total of 10 people from the technical department are on a business trip. I am designing solar cookers, so there must be me. I will go find Ye Qi later, and ask his wife Wang Huiying to take care of you during this time."
"Well, let's go after dinner."
"That's for sure, you can't go to your apprentice's house to eat."
While cooking, Yan Jiecheng came to the door.
"Hey, Lin Zhen, are you busy?"
"Well, your dad found someone to redeem his shares, is it enough?"
"That's enough. I hesitated for a while. There were already five people cashing money. If I cash money again, there would be too many people. It's okay in summer, but the solar cooker is not enough in winter when the temperature is low. I'm here to ask.
I asked you."
There were several neighbors following behind, who also wanted to exchange their contributions to use the Lin Zhen family's solar cooker.
Lin Zhen smiled and said: "Okay, no problem, two yuan per family, up to five families. Ordinarily I am not short of these ten yuan, but if I don't accept it, who can use it and who can't use it? Right, this money must be collected
.”
"Yes, what should be collected should be collected."
The two solar stoves in the front yard were full of people, and Liu Yuhua's in the backyard was also full of people.
As for the middle courtyard, there are several people who have gone to the front yard to form a partnership.
Aunt Yi said: "Lao Yi, why don't we also buy a solar cooker? It's already summer, it's very convenient."
Yi Zhonghai frowned and said: "Forget it, I don't have the energy to do this these days. The person in charge of the courtyard now is Lao Yan. He should make arrangements to get one for the intermediate courtyard. We don't care."
"You haven't been in good spirits these past few days. Are you still angry with Lin Zhen? It's over now. Zhu Zhu said that he will pay back the money in the future. Huairu and my sister-in-law are not angry anymore, so don't be angry."
"Sigh... I'm not angry. I just haven't gotten over what happened last time and I feel uncomfortable."
"At the end of the day, you're still worried about your retirement."
Gu Xiao
"Sigh... Zhu Zhu and Huai Ru are the only ones in the courtyard who are obedient. Otherwise, will you let Liu Yuhua take care of us until the end of her life? She is just like her father Liu Cheng. On the surface, she is straightforward, but in fact she is smart. She will not have a filial son in front of her bed for a long time.
Serve us!"
Aunt Yi felt helpless. She wanted to say that it would have been great to adopt one before the treatment, but you didn't want to. Now it's not that easy to just find a ready-made and sensible adult!
But seeing Yi Zhonghai looking obviously haggard these days, she couldn't bear it.
After all, they are a couple who have lived together for decades.
Yi Zhonghai didn't eat much before going to bed.
Aunt Yi thought for a while, closed the door and went to the front yard.
She wanted to talk to Lin Zhen and see if she could ask Lin Zhen to say a few nice words to enlighten Yi Zhonghai.
After all, a heart ailment requires a heart doctor, and to untie the bell, one must tie the bell.
She always felt that Lin Zhen and Lou Xiao'e were not the heartless and unjust people that Yi Zhonghai said.
When I came to the front yard, I saw that Lin Zhen was not at home, and Lou Xiaoe was looking after six children alone.
"Xiao'e, where is Lin Zhen?"
"Ah, Aunt One is here, come in and sit down quickly, Lin Zhen is going to find Ye Qi."
"Oh, when will he come back?"
"I'll be back in a minute. What can I do for you?"
"Well, it's a little bit about Uncle Yi. Because last time, he has been feeling uncomfortable these past few days. I want to persuade Lin Zhen to see if I can enlighten you, Uncle Yi."
"Well, it turns out that's what happened. No problem. You can wait for him in the room for a while. He will definitely go."
Not long after the meeting, Lin Zhen came back from Ye Qi's place.
I just went to ask Wang Huiying to help Lou Xiaoe take care of the child, and I finished the explanation in two sentences.
When I got home, I saw an aunt sitting in the house.
After asking about the purpose of his visit, Lin Zhen smiled and said: "Aunt Yi, actually Uncle Yi is not angry with me. He is worried that Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu will not get together. Didn't you see? Qin Huairu has ignored Sha Zhu recently!
"
Aunt One sighed and said: "I can see it. Alas, actually I shouldn't tell you. When you and I were young, we considered adopting one. It was the old society at that time, and there were many people fleeing from famine. As long as they didn't starve to death, people would
The child is willing to follow, but your uncle does not agree. He, he, he wants to find someone who is ready to obey, and does not need to raise one for ten or twenty years! He is also afraid that he will be disobedient when he is raised! Alas..."
Aunt Yi's eyes turned red as she spoke, and she lowered her head and began to sob.
These words made Lin Zhen suddenly enlightened.
He had long wondered why Yi Zhonghai didn't adopt one, let alone Jie Fangqian.
Even now, based on the actual conditions of the couple, although Yi Zhonghai is a bit older, Yi Zhonghai has not yet reached retirement age and his salary is high.
It is not difficult to adopt a child in an orphanage, and it reduces the pressure on society and will also be praised.
I thought he had something to do with Qin Huairu, but it turned out that he didn't want to waste time raising a child, but wanted someone ready and obedient to take care of him until he died.
This level of selfishness goes up a notch, it is simply selfish to the extreme.
How can there be such a good thing in the world?
You don't give birth, nourish or nurture, yet you want someone else to give you a urinal in front of your hospital bed.
You also see that Qin Huairu cherishes his reputation and has no bottom line when he is a fool and abuses a good person.
No wonder you brought them together!
Lin Zhen hated Yi Zhonghai for being a selfish hypocrite who played with other people's lives and still lost a good reputation.
But he does not hate Aunt Yi. She is a good person with an honest and peaceful personality and never argues with others.
Bad people should be punished, but good people should not follow suit.
Lin Zhen didn't want to involve Aunt Yi, so he thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
