The next day, the morning sun shone through the mist and filled every corner of the courtyard. Yi Zhonghai got up early, got himself ready, and resolutely walked towards the deaf old lady's house.

He knocked on the door gently, and the deaf old lady's slightly puzzled voice came from inside: "Who is it?"

"Old lady, it's me, Yi Zhonghai." He replied gently.

The door slowly opened, revealing the wrinkled face of the deaf old lady. She looked at Yi Zhonghai with a trace of worry on her face, and asked again: "Have you really decided to do this?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded, his eyes firm: "Yes, sure. Old lady, are you ready? We should set off."

The deaf old lady sighed and shook her head helplessly: "Let's go." She slowly stood up, leaning on the crutch that had accompanied her for many years, and with the support of Yi Zhonghai, she walked out of the room tremblingly.

The two walked out of the house, and the people in the yard were a little surprised to see this scene. Someone asked curiously: "Uncle, where are you taking the old lady?"

When Yi Zhonghai heard the question, a gentle smile appeared on his face. He replied with a smile: "The old lady wanted to go out for a stroll. I was worried, so I went with her."

After saying this, he lowered his head slightly, continued to carefully support the deaf old lady, and walked out of the gate of the courtyard slowly step by step.

"The old lady went out for a walk, why didn't the uncle let the aunt go with her but instead accompanied her himself?" An aunt looked at the backs of Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady as they walked away, and a puzzled expression appeared on her face.

She frowned slightly, as if she was trying to think about the problem, while also remembering to lower her voice so as not to be heard by others and cause unnecessary disputes.

Not far away, the second aunt also saw this scene, but she had no good feelings towards Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady, so she did not join the discussion. She continued to work with her head down, with no expression on her face, as if she was indifferent to everything around her.

Yi Zhonghai helped the deaf old lady out of the courtyard. Feeling the fresh air and warm sunshine outside, he felt much more relaxed.

He looked up at the sky and saw the sun shining brightly. The breeze gently brushed his cheeks. Thinking of what he was about to do, he sighed in his heart: "What a nice day!"

He led the old lady to the steel mill, asking her about her health from time to time along the way. The deaf old lady was very touched by Yi Zhonghai's care and consideration, so she shook her head slightly to indicate that she was not tired, with a satisfied smile on her face.

When they arrived at Director Yang's office, Yi Zhonghai gently helped the old lady to rest against the wall. He straightened his clothes, walked to the door, and knocked gently.

At this time, Director Yang was sitting at his desk, frowning, concentrating on instructing his assistant Xiao Wang on some urgent tasks. His voice was steady and powerful, and every word revealed unquestionable authority.

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted his words. He raised his head and looked towards the door with a puzzled expression on his face.

He thought, who would come to see me at this time? Could it be something important? He signaled Xiao Wang to pause, then pointed outside the door, signaling Xiao Wang to go see who it was.

Xiao Wang immediately understood, he put down the pen in his hand, stood up, walked to the door, gently turned the doorknob, and slowly opened the door.

The sunlight outside the door shone into the office through the gap, illuminating Xiao Wang's face. He squinted his eyes and looked outside the door, where he saw Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady standing.

Xiao Wang showed a hint of surprise on his face. He recognized Yi Zhonghai, but he had no impression of the deaf old lady next to him. He looked at Yi Zhonghai in confusion and asked, "Master Yi, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded to Xiao Wang and replied, "Assistant Wang, we are here to report some matters to Director Yang." As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the deaf old lady next to him.

Seeing this, Xiao Wang became even more confused. He looked at the deaf old lady, then at Yi Zhonghai, and secretly wondered what the two were up to. But he didn't ask any more questions, just asked them to wait for a moment.

He turned around, closed the door, and walked back to Director Yang. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said to Director Yang:

"Director, it's Master Yi, the eighth-level fitter from the factory, who's here. He's brought an old lady with him. I don't know who she is."

As soon as Xiao Wang finished speaking, Director Yang's eyebrows slightly raised. He immediately thought of the deaf old lady. It was because of her that he arranged Yi Zhonghai to work in the steel rolling mill.

Unexpectedly, after a few years, Yi Zhonghai has become an eighth-level fitter, which makes Director Yang feel a little emotional.

Thinking of the deaf old lady who had done him a favor, Director Yang said to Xiao Wang in front of him, "Let them in. Go and do your thing. I'll call you if there's anything else."

When Xiao Wang heard Director Yang's instructions, he immediately nodded and turned to the door. He opened the door and said to Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady:

"Master Yi, Director Yang invites you in." After saying that, he turned around and left the office, continuing to work on his own work.
