Chapter 3 The Master of Routines

But as soon as He Yuzhu’s white flour steamed buns came out of the pot, and after settling his sister down for dinner, he went to the backyard with five white flour steamed buns and ten kilograms of freshly extracted white flour.

He was going to give it to the deaf old lady. If she hadn't set up Lou Xiao'e, he would have been deceived by Qin Huairu in his previous life.

Furthermore, this deaf old lady is a family member of a martyr. She once privately gave shoes to the flower gardening troops. She is respected by everyone whether in the courtyard or the street office.

No matter what the reason is, He Yuzhu is willing to provide for the old lady in her old age.

But I am also busy with work on weekdays. Sometimes I have to work overtime when there is a reception in the factory, and I come back even later, and I can't take care of the old lady.

Although Yi Zhonghai has no descendants now, he is still only forty-five years old after all. He has not yet awakened to the idea of ​​finding someone to support him in his old age, so he has not yet implemented the tradition of respecting the elderly in the compound.

He Yuzhu's trip was to trick Louis Zhonghai and make them take on the responsibility of taking care of the old lady. Moral kidnapping, who wouldn't do it?

When he entered the old lady's house, the old lady was sitting at the dining table eating steamed buns with stick noodles. He watched the old lady break off a piece of steamed buns and put it into her mouth. She sipped it for a while before swallowing it with difficulty. He Yuzhu felt sad for a while and hurriedly ran up to the house.

Before.

"Madam, this steamed bun is so loud, please eat some white flour steamed buns to make it easier to eat and digest."

After saying that, he handed over the white-faced steamed bun in his hand. The old lady raised her head and looked at the visitor with a pair of cloudy eyes for a long time before she recognized the person and took the steamed bun.

The old lady took the steaming white-faced steamed bun and looked left and right. She looked at it for a long time and was still reluctant to take a bite. Finally, she pushed the steamed bun over and said with a toothless smile:

"Silly Zhu, it would be great if my wife had this kind of steamed buns to eat. I think back then, we didn't even have steamed buns, but now it's very good. My wife is old and wastes eating white flour. I'll leave it to you to eat, so that you can be more energetic at work.



He Yu felt even more uncomfortable when he saw this: The old lady started to use crutches after a fall this spring. Although the people in the courtyard respected her, no one really took care of her. The old lady's spirit was so good.

It's much worse than before. Why didn't I notice it before?

After refusing to the old lady for a while, he finally waited on the old lady to finish her meal and went out to bask in the sun with her on his back. He Yuzhu then came to Yi Zhonghai's house next door with ten kilograms of white noodles.

As soon as she arrived at the door, a aunt came up to her. She immediately saw the cloth bag He Yuzhu was holding. It looked like white noodles. Her family was not short of money, but the white flour was rationed, so she could only eat it on weekdays.

Eat Erhe noodles.

"Silly Zhu, what are you..."

Yi Zhonghai, who was lying on the Taishi chair and taking a nap next to him, opened his eyes when he heard the noise. When he saw the visitor, he felt confused: he and the Shazhu family in the middle courtyard didn't have much interaction on weekdays. His father even competed with him back then.

If his father hadn't run away with the widow, he might not have been able to miss the position of the first uncle. Why did he suddenly come to the door today? Did he bring something with him?

"Master, Mom, I'm here today to ask you and me to help you."

When Yi Zhonghai heard what He Yuzhu said, he stood up and said with a righteous face:

"Si Zhu, I am the head of the courtyard. If you have any questions, just tell me. If I can help, I will of course help you. If you can't help, you can just give me gifts, and I can't help either."

He Yuzhu waved his hands and said with a smile:

"Master, you misunderstood. This is not for you, but for the deaf old lady. The deaf old lady is now on crutches and it is inconvenient to cook. I am too busy to take care of it on weekdays.

The old lady is getting old and eating whole grains all the time is not enough. No, I specially sent some white noodles here. I just wanted to trouble my mother to make some white noodles from time to time and send them to my wife."

The eldest mother and the first uncle were shocked when they heard this. After they looked at each other, the eldest mother stepped forward and took the white noodles from He Yuzhu's hand, and the first uncle also greeted him and sat down.

"I didn't expect that, Silly Zhu, you still have such a heart. I, a grown man, didn't expect that. I'm so ashamed..."

"Hey, Master, look at what you said, you never imagined that you are waiting for our juniors to take action. I have thought about this for a long time, mainly because it is too troublesome for Grandma.

The old lady didn’t need anyone to take care of her before, but now that she’s older and has a cripple, I really can’t bear to look at her. Everyone gets old sometimes, and if I don’t care..."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, he let out a long sigh. Seeing Yi Zhonghai's expression moved, he continued:

"As long as the deaf old lady has a son and a half, I won't worry about it blindly, but you said... Oh, the old lady's life is miserable...

I observed it carefully before I came here. I am not saying bad things about the people in the courtyard. The second uncle always wants to establish his authority, and the third uncle is plotting. As the saying goes, you can learn the skills from whom you learn...

How can they take good care of the old lady? Everyone in the hospital knows that the aunt is virtuous and the uncle is upright, so I can only trouble the aunt."

He Yuzhu's words touched the hearts of Yi Zhonghai and his wife. They had no children and were old, so they couldn't refuse after wearing such a high hat.

The eldest mother quickly expressed her position: "No trouble, no trouble, I have to cook every day anyway, so it's not a big deal if we do it together."

Yi Zhonghai also echoed.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, He Yuzhu stopped talking. After all, they had not had much contact with each other before, so he rashly talked too much, which made people feel disgusted.

Besides, the issue of taking care of the deaf old lady is more urgent at the moment. The other issues can be discussed in the long run and slowly penetrated in the future. There is no need to rush at this moment.

After saying goodbye to Yi Zhonghai and his wife, He Yuzhu walked home. After taking only two steps, he saw Lou Xiao'e, the mother of his child in his previous life, washing dishes by the sink.

There is a rumor in the courtyard that Lou Xiao'e took the initiative to propose marriage three years ago and threatened that she would not marry Xu Damao. In fact, this was all lies made by Xu's father and Xu's mother to put money on her face.

A few years ago, when the public-private partnership was formed, the Lou family was a capitalist with a bad background, so they had no choice but to marry Xu Damao. Xu Damao only liked the Lou family's dowry, and there was no relationship between the two. Otherwise, Xu Damao would not have betrayed the Lou family and abandoned Lou Xiao'e.

.

In addition, after three years of marriage, Lou Xiaoe has not become pregnant, and the Xu family does not want to see Lou Xiaoe even more. But others don't know, but He Yuzhu knows. The reason why she is not pregnant is entirely due to Xu Damao, and it has nothing to do with Lou Xiaoe.

"Xiao'e, I'm washing the dishes. The water is very cold this winter, so you have to keep warm!"

He Yuzhu expressed his gratitude to Lou Xiaoe for giving birth to a son for him while his family was on the run in their last life. He knew that Lou Xiaoe and the deaf old lady were one of the few people who truly cared for him. When he saw them again, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Lou Xiao'e was surprised when she heard this. She saw He Yuzhu as soon as he came out of the uncle's house. Although she was also confused that He Yuzhu, who never came to the backyard, suddenly visited the backyard.

But because their men Xu Damao and He Yuzhu were mortal enemies, they started to fight each other as soon as they met. Recently, in order to attack Xu Damao, He Yuzhu used all his energy to fight against Xu Damao, so he had no intention of talking to him, but He Yuzhu took the initiative to speak.
But at the moment, I just thought that He Yuzhu was either crazy or suppressing his bad feelings, so he responded with a lukewarm "hmm".
