The aroma of braised pork filled the backyard of the courtyard, and the first person to be affected was the deaf old lady.

Today, Yi Zhonghai brought steamed bread, porridge and pickles to the deaf old lady again.

"Chun...hua, we've been eating salted...vegetables...for...how long? Can you give us some...meat?" (Acquired deafness may also affect speech)

The deaf old lady said intermittently that she had not eaten meat for a long time.

Now the Xu family is making braised pork, which has aroused the gluttony in her stomach.

Chapter 97: Sha Zhu Looking for Rainwater

Auntie also wanted to eat meat, and the Yi family hadn't eaten braised pork for a long time.

Since Yi Zhonghai's transfer, his monthly salary of more than 30 yuan is enough for the two of them to live on, but they still need to prepare for retirement.

Although Jia Dongxu promised to provide for their retirement, they couldn't save nothing at all.

The old lady didn't say anything, and the deaf old lady couldn't hear her, so it would be useless even if she said anything.

After the deaf old lady became deaf, she kept chattering. At first, the old lady had some patience to listen to her, but gradually she didn't want to listen anymore.

Every time he comes to deliver the food, he leaves and comes back to clean up after an hour.

The deaf old lady couldn't find anyone to talk to, and no one was willing to listen to her nagging when she went out. She gradually lost her language ability and now speaks with a stutter.

When the old lady passed away, the deaf old lady cried loudly, tears streaming from her cloudy eyes.

After wiping away her tears, she opened the secret compartment again and found her son's photo.

"Damn you thief! You deserve a horrible death! You're the culprit of a family! Damn you! Son, come back and seek justice for your mother." (Everyone remembers that she was a stutterer)

Not long after the deaf old lady became deaf, she searched the house for the treasures she had hidden, but except for her son's things, all the other gold, silver and treasures had disappeared.

This made her feel very uneasy. She didn't know whether the thief had found her son's things. She was afraid that her son's identity would be exposed, and she would be in trouble too.

After a period of fear, I found that life was still the same, so I slowly calmed down, but I couldn't help cursing every day.

Over the past year or so, this old man, who already had little time left to live, has become even more haggard. His body is like a candle in the wind, a lamp in the rain, and he is afraid that he will not live much longer.

After returning home, Auntie Yi Zhonghai said that the deaf old lady wanted to eat braised pork.

Of course Yi Zhonghai would not agree. The deaf old lady only had five yuan a month for living expenses, and food was in short supply. How could she possibly make braised pork for him?

"I'll find a chance to talk to Sha Zhu tomorrow. He's the factory's head chef now. Let him think of a solution."

Yi Zhonghai still had to maintain his reputation, but he didn't want to spend any money, so he thought of Sha Zhu.

……

The sun rises again.

Sha Zhu got up early. He didn't plan to eat at home today. After eating breakfast, he took a bus to the school where He Yushui studied.

This left Yi Zhonghai, who came to look for him, empty-handed.

"Why did Sha Zhu leave so early today?" Yi Zhonghai wondered. Sha Zhu was not a diligent person.

These words happened to be heard by Xu Damao who was going out. After Yi Zhonghai left, he pretended to wash his hands in the middle courtyard.

I looked at Shazhu's door and saw it was indeed locked. Ever since Yan Bugui's car was stolen and the police came, everyone in the yard had locked their doors.

"Shazhu isn't home, this bastard must have known about my blind date and wants to sabotage it."

It is said that the person who knows you best is likely to be your opponent. Xu Damao guessed what Sha Zhu wanted to do at a glance.

"Go ahead. No matter how hard you think, you still won't know that my blind date is Lou Xiao'e."

Xu Damao went to work proudly.

Red Star Middle School. (Still made up)

He Yuzhu told the security guard that he was looking for He Yushui, and the security guard told him to wait.

After about ten minutes, He Yushui came.

He Yushui looked at Sha Zhu and said, "Brother, why are you here? And you have nothing in your hands?"

Sha Zhu was a little embarrassed. He came in a hurry and really didn't bring anything with him. "Yushui, come out quickly. I have something to tell you."

The two came to a secluded place, and Sha Zhu asked He Yushui about his relationship with Xu Xin.

"Xu Xin? Not so good. Have you forgotten that you didn't let me play with her? We didn't play together much in junior high school."

He Yushui shook her head. When she was a child, she had a good relationship with Xu Xin, but because of Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, their relationship gradually faded.

They are from the same courtyard, but their relationship is just average.

"Find an opportunity and ask Xu Xin who Xu Damao's blind date is and where she lives."

"Xu Damao is on a blind date? Brother, you're not trying to sabotage it, are you?"

Although He Yushui was questioning Sha Zhu, she was already certain that Sha Zhu was up to no good. Given their relationship, he definitely couldn't be trying to speak well of Xu Damao.

"What are you talking about? How could I be sabotaging something? I was trying to save the woman from falling into Xu Damao's trap."

Sha Zhu spoke with such righteousness that He Yushui rolled her eyes. Could she believe it?

"No question! I'd rather tear down ten temples than ruin a marriage. I won't do such a wicked thing!"

He Yushui didn't want to do this kind of shit, or rather, it would not be good for him.

"I'm your brother, and you treat me like this?"

Sha Zhu was a little angry. He didn't expect He Yushui to refuse.

He Yushui was not polite and immediately replied, "I am still your biological sister. You came to see me empty-handed."

"Just tell me how you can help me."

"Then buy me a bicycle, a women's one."

He Yushui had wanted a bicycle for a long time, especially after Jiang Ping'an got married. The women's bicycle was mostly used by Jiang Yu, and Jiang Ping'an always gave it to Chen Qian when she went to work.

She has been coveting the bicycle for a long time.

"Bicycle? Where can I get one? I can't get a ticket, and it's too expensive." Sha Zhu was dumbfounded. A bicycle cost at least one hundred and seventy or eighty yuan, which was half a year's salary for him.

"I'm not asking you to buy a new one, a used one is fine too. I just want a bicycle anyway."

"Okay, as long as you can ask, I'll buy it for you. But it depends on whether the trust store has it in stock, and they may not have women's."

Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and agreed. As long as he could ruin Xu Damao's blind date, a small amount of money was nothing. Besides, he was not without money. He could earn a lot of money every month by cooking for others.

The two reached an agreement. He Yushui happily went back to class, and Sha Zhu also had to take a bus back to the factory to work.

noon.

Yi Zhonghai came to the canteen to get food, and Sha Zhu was there getting food. There are several canteens in the steel mill, but because Sha Zhu is in Canteen 2, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu usually eat in Canteen 2. (It seems that it is not mentioned in the play)

"Shazhu, give me a portion of eggplant, beans, and two steamed buns."

"Hey, you're a great old man. Come, I'll give you some more."

When Sha Zhu saw that it was Yi Zhonghai, he was very enthusiastic and filled a lunch box with vegetables and also gave him big steamed buns.

"Silly Zhu, I want to talk to you about something later. Come find me there after dinner."

Yi Zhonghai pointed to a location near the food window with his trembling right hand.

Sha Zhu nodded and agreed.

Yi Zhonghai walked over and sat down to eat. Not long after, Sha Zhu also came over.

After the two finished their meal, Sha Zhu asked Yi Zhonghai what was the matter.

"Silly Zhu, I always tell you that we should respect our elders, but you haven't done a good enough job of that."

Yi Zhonghai began preaching again.

Chapter 98: Silly Pillar Sends Meat

"Uncle, what do you mean by that? How can I be unfilial to the elderly? That's not right. There are no elderly people in my family who need filial piety."

Sha Zhu stared at Yi Zhonghai with wide eyes, his expression somewhat grim. He couldn't afford the reputation of being unfilial.

"Look at you, you've forgotten again. The deaf old lady in the backyard has always treated you as her own grandson. How can she not be considered your elder? And don't you always call her grandma?"

Yi Zhonghai specifically mentioned the deaf old lady. He didn't want to spend money to buy meat for the deaf old lady, but he also wanted a good reputation. This Sha Zhu was a complete sucker.

Moreover, the deaf old lady and Sha Zhu became close because of Sha Zhu's craftsmanship.

"Oh, the old lady, I haven't visited her much recently. But that doesn't mean I'm unfilial. Besides, the old lady is taken care of by the eldest master, and the house is left to you."

Sha Zhu retorted.

"Isn't it that the old lady keeps talking about you, calling you a good grandson all day long, and you haven't gone to see her in the past two days?"

Yi Zhonghai felt no guilt for deceiving Sha Zhu. In his opinion, Sha Zhu was already in his pocket. How could Sha Zhu, with his intelligence, see through his lies?

Sure enough, after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Sha Zhu showed a rare trace of guilt, "Uncle, I understand. I will find time to visit the old lady."

"Hey, that's right. People should still be filial. Filial piety is our traditional virtue. And remember to cook something delicious for the old lady. She likes your cooking."

Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction, feeling that he was a master who had easily mastered Sha Zhu. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Yi Zhonghai said nothing more and went to wash the dishes with his lunch box.

after get off work.

Sha Zhu went to the market and bought three taels of pork belly. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, the third uncle Yan Bugui came to greet him.

"Silly Zhu, what a day it is! You even bought pork belly. Uncle San has a bottle of good wine. Why don't you take it over and have some fun with you later?"

Yan Bugui put on a smile and wanted to go to Sha Zhu's house for dinner.

"Forget it, Third Uncle, don't give me that water mixed with alcohol. I'm afraid I'll end up in the hospital after drinking too much of that fake wine. I bought this meat for the old lady."

Sha Zhu rejected Yan Bugui's suggestion and humiliated him a little.

Yan Bugui was not angry. He watched Sha Zhu leave with a smile, and cursed Sha Zhu in his heart, calling him a fool. He had no relationship with the deaf old lady, but he was eager to be her grandson. The deaf old lady would not leave her inheritance to Sha Zhu.

Shaking his head, Yan Bugui continued squatting at the door hunting.

Sha Zhu returned home, cooked the food, and ate a few bites himself.

"This little smell comes up just by scratching it. Whoever marries me in the future will enjoy a happy old age."

What Sha Zhu is most proud of is his cooking skills. His cooking skills are considered good in the steel rolling mill. Now, except for the chefs working in the small canteen, no one else can compare to him.

Holding the meat and two steamed buns, Sha Zhu came to the backyard.

"Old lady, I'm here to see you."

The deaf old lady couldn't hear any sound, but she could smell something. She could smell something when Sha Zhu entered the backyard.

Seeing Sha Zhu approaching with the meat, the deaf old lady drooled wildly.

When Sha Zhu put the dishes on the table, the deaf old lady quickly picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

"Smells good! It's delicious. The meat cooked by my eldest grandson must be delicious!" (stuttering in your imagination)

Although it was not the first time he heard the old lady say this, Sha Zhu was still very happy that his cooking skills were recognized.

It's like catching a fish weighing dozens of kilograms. People will say that you have good skills, not good luck.

"Old lady, eat slowly, don't choke."

Sha Zhu went to pour another glass of water and placed it in front of the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady couldn't hear what Sha Zhu said. She was concentrating on eating the braised pork in front of her.

In a short while, the meat was finished. The deaf old lady dipped the steamed buns in the broth and ate it all without even washing the plates.

"Well, I saved myself the trouble."

Sha Zhu was about to go out with the plate in his hand when an old lady came in with the meal.

"Silly Zhu, are you here to bring food to the old lady?"

The auntie asked knowingly. How could she not know that Sha Zhu cooked for the deaf old lady? She didn't want to come over tonight. After all, Sha Zhu was here, and it was Yi Zhonghai who asked her to come over, so she came.

"Auntie, this is unfortunate. The old lady has just eaten her fill."
