Yi Zhonghai's Siheyuan

Since today is the weekend, everyone got up early. Some had to go out to do things, and some had to go out to visit relatives and friends. Yi Zhonghai also planned to go to the countryside after breakfast.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Wu Xiulian sitting in front of the table in a daze. When she saw Yi Zhonghai coming back, Wu Xiulian was stunned at first, and then asked, "Old Yi? How come you have become younger like a different person?" Yi Zhonghai said, "After I gave up the idea of ​​taking care of my old age, all my energy and spirit have returned. Besides, I am only a little over 40."

Wu Xiulian still stared at Yi Zhonghai intently. Yi Zhonghai felt a little uneasy, but he gritted his teeth and persisted. Fortunately, Wu Xiulian stopped looking at Yi Zhonghai after a while.

This made Yi Zhonghai feel relieved. He sat at the table and poured himself a glass of water! He was about to tell Wu Xiulian that he was going to the countryside. Wu Xiulian asked, "Old Yi, why are you going to the countryside for no reason?" Yi Zhonghai said, "I plan to buy some chickens in the countryside and raise them. The children I adopt from the street office will definitely be skinny. I can also buy some chickens to lay eggs."

Wu Xiulian nodded after hearing this, and then asked Yi Zhonghai when he would go to adopt the child! Yi Zhonghai said, "I will go ask Director Wang from the Street Office later." After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Wu Xiulian decided to go cook!

After finishing breakfast, Yi Zhonghai took out a bag of pure cornmeal from the space and handed it to Wu Xiulian, saying, "I bought this from the black market yesterday. I hid outside after I came back. I just took it from outside under cover and brought it into our room. Open it and take a look." Wu Xiulian took the cornmeal, opened it and found that it was all high-quality cornmeal, so she quickly put it away.

To be honest, Yi Zhonghai's throat was almost damaged from drinking cornmeal porridge during the past few days since he came here. If it weren't for the system space, Yi Zhonghai would have collapsed long ago!

Yi Zhonghai went out on his bike and went to the Nanluoguxiang Subdistrict Office. When he arrived at the Subdistrict Office, he ran into Director Wang who had just come to work. Director Wang greeted him. Yi Zhonghai asked Director Wang without any further ado, "Director Wang, I want to ask if there are any children in this Subdistrict Office who need to be adopted?"

When Director Wang heard Yi Zhonghai say this, he thought to himself that this was not a political achievement, so he answered, "Yes, in recent years, many people who fled to Sijiucheng during the famine years had their parents die on the way, and the children followed the large group to Sijiucheng, but those people either had relatives in Sijiucheng, and the remaining fatherless and motherless children were placed in the street office. Old Yi, do you want to adopt them? Then you really solved a problem for the country! I have to praise you."

Yi Zhonghai: "Director Wang, I want to adopt! Can my wife and I meet him first?"

Director Wang: "Of course there is no problem. Let's put this in mind. Recently, a little girl fled to Sijiu City with a large group from Zhejiang and Jiangsu areas. All the other boys have been adopted, leaving her alone. Old Yi, if you don't mind, you can take a look at her." In fact, Director Wang didn't hold out much hope. After all, although the country is now liberated, many people still favor boys over girls!

Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, daughters are good, daughters are much more obedient than boys! It's easy to get, so he said "Okay, sure."

Director Wang was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "It is said that Master Yi of our Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is highly respected. Today I see that it is indeed so and not in vain." The compliments came out of Director Wang's mouth without asking for money.

Yi Zhonghai blushed when he was told this, thinking, you don't know that a daughter in the future is "China Merchants Bank". Of course, this future will have to wait for decades. Many remote places will still be dominated by boys even after decades! Only when the imbalance between men and women is serious, the advantage of having a boy will decrease little by little!

Director Wang saw that Yi Zhonghai felt embarrassed so he stopped talking and started to discuss the time with Yi Zhonghai. After the discussion, the two agreed that he would come to the street office to see the child after get off work at the steel rolling mill on the following Tuesday afternoon.

Yi Zhonghai left the street office and rode his bike all the way to the suburbs. He arrived at Beijing Nanyuan, which was later renamed Fengtai District. Yi Zhonghai rode to a place called Lijia Village. According to his memory from his previous life, Yi Zhonghai had been here on business. There were many people raising livestock in this village!

As soon as he entered the village, a bunch of children surrounded Yi Zhonghai's bicycle, which made Yi Zhonghai feel overwhelmed. He pushed the bicycle towards the village committee.

The village secretary asked, "Hello, comrade, what are you doing in our village?"

Yi Zhonghai told the village chief that he wanted to buy some old hens. The village chief shook his head and asked, "Do you have the purchasing certificate?" Now it was Yi Zhonghai's turn to shake his head. Yi Zhonghai thought, "What a waste of time." So no matter what Yi Zhonghai said, the village secretary just refused to agree to change.

Finally, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to push the bike back. Just as he was leaving the village and preparing to ride back, a child who had just led the way ran over and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Uncle, do you want to buy the kind that lays eggs from old hens?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded, and the little boy said, "Uncle, I know whose family has it! Their family is in a difficult situation. There are only him and his grandmother. His grandfather and father all went to fight the Japanese devils and never came back."

Yi Zhonghai heard this and pushed the cart with the child to the direction of the family. On the way, he chatted with the child and learned that the family was a poor family in the area. No one knew her name. They only knew that everyone called her Grandma Li and her grandson was called "Shunzi". However, the villagers respected her family very much and usually gave them some things to take care of them, but the old lady said she would not accept anything! Gradually, the villagers could only help the old lady with farm work. The village secretary also insisted on raising the child to study.

As they were chatting, they arrived at the door of the family. The little boy knocked on the door and called out, "Grandma Li, Grandma Li, open the door, someone is looking for you." With a click, the door opened and an old lady with white hair and a kind face came out. The old lady said to the child, "Anzi, what do you want from me?" Yi Zhonghai hurried over to greet the old lady.

Yi Zhonghai said: "Hello, old lady, I am from the old city! I am going to collect some poultry to take back and raise them myself."

When Mrs. Li heard Yi Zhonghai say that, she invited people into the house. Looking at the extremely simple and tidy room in the old lady's house, Yi Zhonghai felt indescribably uncomfortable. He sighed and said, "Old lady, I plan to buy some poultry. What do you have here?"

Mrs. Li said: "I have five chickens here. I raised them a year ago and now they are all able to lay eggs."

Yi Zhonghai: "Then I'll take them all. Do you need tickets or something?"

Mrs. Li: "I just need to count the votes.

So Yi Zhonghai charged 3 yuan for each chicken, a total of 10 yuan for five chickens, and gave Mrs. Li 30 jins of food coupons! But Mrs. Li refused to accept the money. Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to give up, gave Mrs. Li 10 jins of food coupons and said to her, "This is what I give you. If you don't accept it, I won't buy it."

But Mrs. Li was even more stubborn, so Yi Zhonghai could only pay her 10 jin of food coupons and 10 yuan.

Yi Zhonghai got the chicken and prepared to go back. When he left, he quietly used the space conversion to leave 200 yuan on the table for Mrs. Li! He rode his bike to the city without looking back!

When Mrs. Li returned home and saw 200 yuan on the table, she didn’t know how that person had put it there. When she saw the photos of her son and husband, she burst into tears!

Yi Zhonghai walked halfway and put four chickens into the space in a deserted place. He tied the remaining chicken to the bike and rode slowly towards Sijiu City.

Yi Zhonghai returned to the courtyard before dark!
