People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

Providing support for two people in their old age is actually not a big deal.

Lin Yi himself thought so too, but he was still deeply affected by the plot. The most powerful person in the courtyard had not yet fully grown up, and Qin Huairu had not yet given birth to Sophora japonica and had not yet stirred up the courtyard. Therefore, Lin Yi was still a little worried, and did not formally express his willingness to take care of the two in their old age and see them to the end of their lives...

The old lady also felt sorry for Liu Mei who had been taking care of her. She knew all about Yi Zhonghai and his wife's worries and asked Lin Yi about his opinion. Lin Yi did not hide anything from the old lady and said that he did not mind providing care for Yi Zhonghai and his wife in their old age. Of course, he also expressed his own concerns.

The reason Lin Yi gave the old lady was quite realistic. That was that Yi Zhonghai was not too old at the moment, and he would have at least ten years before retirement. These ten years were also the time when Yi Zhonghai's work and income were at their best. A level eight worker was already the highest level among technical workers.

A lot can change in ten years, so now that Yi Zhonghai has his own income, there is no need for the two companies to merge into one.

The old lady agreed with Lin Yi's statement.

The old lady also told Liu Mei about Lin Yi's considerations. Yi Zhonghai and Liu Mei had also discussed this in the evening. In addition, there have been a lot of things happening recently, such as Yan Fugui's eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, married a widow, Liu Haizhong's eldest son Liu Guangqi brought his wife and staged a fight in the backyard, and most recently, Xu Damao was arrested just two days ago.

Therefore, the couple did not mention this matter to Lin Yi in person. However, even if they did not mention it, they still had to do it.

Yi Zhonghai received a bicycle ticket and insisted that Lin Yi bought the bicycle as a gift to him.

Liu Mei also asked for a small room to store some clothes and daily necessities.

All they did was leave more traces in Lin Yi's circle of life. After all, Lin Yi's consideration was correct, ten years was too long.

Yi Zhonghai and his wife believed that Lin Yi would be concerned that they would have new retirement goals in the future. In fact, they were also afraid that they would have less and less to do with Lin Yi's life.

In particular, the two carefully reviewed the situation over the past six months. The main connection between their family and Lin Yi was through the old lady. If the old lady passed away one day, this connection would almost be severed.

Inside the courtyard, He Yuzhu led Ma Hua to build a simple stove. Lin Yi's house had just been built, and there was a pile of blue bricks in the corner, which made it very convenient to use.

"Master, Team Leader Lin is really capable. The meat dishes he prepared for the dinner are so sumptuous."

Sitting by the stove, Ma Hua whispered to He Yuzhu, his face full of envy.

He is about the same age as Lin Yi, but like He Yuzhu, he looks a little older.

"I didn't expect Brother Lin to be so capable!"

He Yuzhu also sighed, but there is still a difference between the ability he talked about and the ability Ma Hua talked about.

Ma Hua didn't have many opportunities to cook outside. After all, she was a new cook and hadn't even learned how to wash vegetables and chop chop. When He Yuzhu was cooking outside, he never took Ma Hua out with him. Naturally, she didn't have many opportunities to see the world.

The meat dishes prepared by Lin Yi in this small courtyard dazzled Ma Hua's eyes.

Not to mention the common vegetables like cabbage and potatoes, there were more than twenty big fish weighing over ten pounds in the pond alone, which was enough to shock Ma Hua.

Helping to prepare special meals for the canteen leaders, Ma Hua felt that the dishes were already the best. He did not expect that there were so many fish here, and, looking at the menu, there would be a lot of chickens and ducks arriving tomorrow.

He Yuzhu sighed. The five big turtles, or soft-shell turtles, raised in the pond each weighed more than ten pounds and were as big as a washbasin. It was obvious at first glance that they were no ordinary creatures.

But even this turtle made He Yuzhu, who was used to seeing delicious food, drool uncontrollably.

"This is really a disaster. There are so many big turtles."

"No, I have to tell Yu Li later that we need to prepare a few bottles of liquor when we kill the turtle tomorrow, otherwise, the blood will be wasted."

He Yuzhu became very excited when he thought of the blood and essence of these big turtles.

However, these were Lin Yi's things after all, and it had always been a rule that the cooks would bring in leftovers. But He Yuzhu, who considered himself to be particular and stick to the bottom line, could not do this before he started calculating the host's meat dishes before the meal was even prepared.

So after some consideration, He Yuzhu went to find Lin Yi and told him his idea.

"Can you drink the blood of this turtle?" Lin Yi hadn't expected this. He was quite surprised when He Yuzhu brought it up.

"Of course, this is a tonic. It's good for that..." He Yuzhu wanted to say something dirty, but when he thought about his own situation, he changed his words: "I heard that this thing is especially good for women, and it's also very helpful for breast milk and so on."

In a hurry, He Yuzhu found an excuse for himself.

"Silly Zhu, what are you talking about? Why did you talk about women?" Liu Mei was in the house and didn't hear clearly what He Yuzhu said, but she heard the words "women" and "breasts". She thought He Yuzhu was saying something dirty to Lin Yi.

She came out and asked immediately, fearing that Lin Yi was being led astray by He Yuzhu. Although Lin Yi was already working, his age was still there. In Liu Mei's eyes, Lin Yi was more of a child.

"Auntie, Lin Yi brought back five old turtles, each of them is this big. I was thinking it would be a waste to release the blood of these old turtles tomorrow."

He Yuzhu hurriedly explained that compared to Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu actually respected Liu Mei, the aunt, more. After all, when He Daqing abandoned them, it was Liu Mei who took care of them the most.

Even when He Daqing was around, Liu Mei often took care of the brother and sister. It can be said that, to a large extent, Liu Mei replaced the position of their mother in their hearts.

So, when Liu Mei asked, He Yuzhu quickly explained. If it was Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu might not be willing to explain.

Lin Yi threw this turtle into the pond when he just came back, and he didn't tell Liu Mei and the old lady, so Liu Mei didn't know either.

"Is it an old turtle? Is it this big?" Liu Mei looked at He Yuzhu's gesture and didn't quite believe it. Old turtles as big as washbasins are hard to find even one, so how could there be five?

"Auntie, it's right in the pool. How can I lie to you?" He Yuzhu quickly pointed to the location over there.

At this time, the old lady also came out. Liu Mei helped the old lady to the edge of the pool, and saw five black old turtles lying under the pool.

"My grandson is really capable. It's rare to see such a big turtle." The old lady smiled happily when she saw such a big turtle, and she started by praising Lin Yi for his ability.

People did not doubt the origin of this old turtle. After all, Lin Yi often brought back big fish. Occasionally, he would also bring back a turtle, an eel, or something like that. They were not small ones, but big ones.

However, these five at once were beyond everyone's expectations.
