Yi Zhonghai thought about it for a long time last night but couldn't come up with a solution. Should he continue to train Jia Dongxu for his old age or really adopt one as his wife said?

The next morning, with the cooing of a flock of pigeons, Peking City came to life again. The sounds of hawkers, the clatter of spatulas, couples arguing, and children spanking filled the busy morning.

Zhao Cheng slept soundly last night, after all, he had been on the train for several days. At this time, even the sleeper berth was very uncomfortable.

When Zhao Cheng got up in the morning, Zhou Lili had already prepared breakfast and Pingping was dressing the two children.

"Pingping, why don't we send the children to kindergarten? They don't have anything to do at home every day, and you have to take care of them. After all, you are almost three months old now." Zhao Cheng suggested to Pingping while looking at the two little ones who were eating.

"Brother Cheng, I'm a little worried. Weihong is eloquent, but Weidong is a bit dull. I'm afraid he will be bullied!" Pingping was worried about her eldest son.

"Oh, what's there to worry about? Letting them go to kindergarten is for fun, and the main purpose is to let them make more friends." Zhao Cheng explained.

"No, I can still watch. Let's wait until next year!" Pingping still disagreed.

After seeing this, Zhao Cheng had no choice but to agree with Pingping. After all, Zhao Cheng usually didn't care about such trivial matters, so he let Pingping handle it herself.

"Brother Cheng, are you going home for lunch? Or are you eating at work? If you come back for lunch, I'll come back and cook after I finish my work!" Zhou Lili asked curiously.

"No need, I just need to eat a bite at the company. You're also very busy at the steel rolling mill at noon, so don't bother going back and forth! It's just that you're at work now, so you can ride your sister Pingping's bicycle to and from get off work!" Zhao Cheng quickly waved his hand to refuse. The cafeteria was busy at noon, so how could he bother her to come back and cook at noon.

"Yes, you go ahead and do your own thing. The two kids and I will just have a bite to eat at noon. Just remember to buy some vegetables after get off work. Brother Cheng said when to go home from get off work!" Pingping also agreed with Zhao Cheng's point of view.

Although I am pregnant, it is still no problem for me to cook a meal for my two children.

"Okay, Sister Pingping!" Zhou Lili answered readily.

After dinner, Zhao Cheng went out to work. He happened to see Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong with Jia Dongxu. Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu were obviously a little depressed, while Liu Haizhong walked in front with his hands behind his back and his head held high.

"Oh, you guys are going to work too? I say, Old Yi, why are you so listless like a young man?" Zhao Cheng chuckled.

"Hai, don't mention it. Mosquitoes came into the house last night and bit me several times!" Of course, Yi Zhonghai couldn't say that he was considering a retirement plan, so he could only make up an excuse.

"Xiao Zhao, are you back from your business trip?" Liu Haizhong felt a little offended when he saw that Zhao Cheng didn't speak to him first, so he rushed to speak.

"Brother Liu, I've been away for almost three months and just came back yesterday!" Zhao Cheng wanted to laugh when he saw Liu Haizhong's appearance. Liu Haizhong now had the shadow of an official in later generations.

"Well, indeed, you have been on a business trip for a long time! Where have you been?" Liu Haizhong still wanted to show off his power.

"Brother Liu, our business trip is confidential and we are not allowed to tell anyone! Are you sure you want to know?" Zhao Cheng said to Liu Haizhong with a smile.

Liu Haizhong immediately lost his composure after hearing what Zhao Cheng said. "Idiot!" Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu exchanged glances behind Liu Haizhong, then nodded in unison and smiled silently.

"Xiao Zhao, I don't mean to pry into secrets! Since it's inconvenient for you to tell me, I won't ask! It's almost time for me to go to work!" After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he took the lead and walked away, and walked faster and faster, as if he was afraid that Zhao Cheng would catch up with him.

"Old Liu, wait for us! Why are you in such a hurry?" Yi Zhonghai quickly caught up with him, shrugging his shoulders as he walked. This Old Liu was really funny.

Zhao Cheng looked at the three people walking away, and had no intention of teasing them with gifts. Instead, he rode his bicycle and headed straight for the Jiaodaokou Police Station.

After arriving at the office, Zhao Cheng found that his office door was open. When he walked in, he saw Xiao Li cleaning inside.

"Xiao Li, why are you here so early?" Zhao Cheng asked.

"Director, you're back?" Xiao Li turned around and saw that it was Zhao Cheng, and hurried forward happily to ask.

"I came back yesterday. I was so tired from the journey that I rested at home for a night. Now you're here for work today. It's just right that you're here. I brought some specialties from the mountain city. Take them and share them with everyone later!" Zhao Cheng took out some bacon he brought back from the mountain city and gave it all to Xiao Li.

"Director, why do you bring these things with you? They must cost a lot of money, right?" Xiao Li sighed when he saw that Zhao Cheng took out all the best bacon.

"I didn't spend any money. It was given to me by the Shancheng City Bureau! I'm just offering my appreciation!" Zhao Cheng waved his hand.

He still has a lot of these things, some were given to him by Director Chen, and some were bought with his own money. It's not easy to go there once, so he has to buy more.

"Then we won't be polite!" Xiao Li happily accepted the pieces of bacon Zhao Cheng handed over. Food is still a bit scarce these days, and this bacon can be eaten for a long time and it doesn't spoil easily.

"By the way, Xiao Li, is there anything going on in our office while I'm away?" Zhao Cheng asked, sitting on a chair.

"With you in charge, what problems can happen in our area? Even several unmarried young men in the office have participated in the blind dates organized by the street, and most of them have already started families. Your share of the money that your sister-in-law gave me has been written down for you." Xiao Li said.

"Have you found all these guys? It seems that this blind date was quite successful!" Zhao Cheng sighed.

"Hey, it's only in our area. I heard that there aren't that many in other areas. Many of them, even if they are good-looking, have no one to take home. I heard that our street won first place! Director Wang is so happy!" Xiao Li said to Zhao Cheng nonchalantly.

"What happened? Tell me in detail." Zhao Cheng asked curiously.

"I heard that many streets organized blind dates, but people didn't like these refugees at all. I heard that except for the very beautiful ones, many of the less attractive ones were not wanted by anyone. They looked down on them because they came from the countryside!" Xiao Li curled his lips and said disdainfully.

"How long have these guys been in the city? They're already looking down on our fellow farmers?"

"Who said it wasn't true? These guys have completely forgotten their roots!" Xiao Li also echoed angrily.

At the steel rolling mill, Yi Zhonghai couldn't concentrate after work today. He couldn't help thinking about what his wife said to him yesterday.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai was only in his thirties at that time, and he shouldn't have been thinking about the issue of retirement so early, but he felt a little empathy for the experience of the deaf old lady in the backyard.

Yi Zhonghai doesn't want to have to stay in the room with his wife every day when he is old, without anyone to talk to, let alone anyone to visit him.

A "squeak!" sound brought Yi Zhonghai back to reality. Looking at the scrapped workpiece in his hand, Yi Zhonghai felt that he should have made plans earlier.

"Old Yi, please come back to your senses. Do you want to live?" Master Zhao next to him heard the noise, glanced towards Yi Zhonghai, and quickly said to Yi Zhonghai.

"Oh, Lao Zhao, I'm sorry! I disturbed you. I was distracted while thinking about something!" Yi Zhonghai had a learned expression on his face.

"What's wrong? Is there any trouble at home?" Master Zhao asked curiously.

"No, no, what's wrong with me! I just didn't sleep well last night!" Yi Zhonghai quickly defended himself.

"That's fine, be fine! You're in so much danger!"

"Okay, I'll pay attention! You go ahead and do your work first!" Yi Zhonghai said to Master Zhao with a humble look on his face.
