Chapter 44 Trivia(1/2)
Seeing his three grandsons crying and kneeling in front of him, hugging his and his wife's legs and refusing to let go, Mr. Ran's heart was made of stone, and it softened.
Coupled with the persuasion of Sha Zhu and Ran Qiuye, Ran's father and mother finally chose to stay in the courtyard, but they refused to move into the main house in the middle courtyard that Sha Zhu and his wife gave up.
He moved into the house in the backyard left by the deaf old lady to Silly Zhu.
It's just that Wang Zhong gave Sha Zhu this idea, but it blocked Yi Zhonghai's escape route. Originally, Yi Zhonghai had a lot of trouble in the yard, so he dragged him to Sha Zhu, and from now on he would provide for the old couple until they die.
But after Sha Zhu married Ran Qiuye and gave birth to three sons, the person in charge of the old He family became Ran Qiuye. Although Yi Zhonghai had a good relationship with Sha Zhu, he didn't have much interaction with Ran Qiuye, and their relationship could only be described as
It's average.
Although Ran Qiuye usually showed great respect to Yi Zhonghai and his wife, Yi Zhonghai would really feel unsure if Ran Qiuye and Sha Zhu were to support him and his wife in old age.
Especially now, among the three sons of Sha Zhu and Ran Qiuye, the eldest is only a few years old, and the youngest is only three years old. Ran Qiuye also has parents. In the past, before Ran's father and mother moved here, Yi Zhonghai still had a lot of trouble in his heart.
I thought about it a little bit, but since Ran's parents moved into the room in the backyard left by the deaf old lady to Silly Zhu, Yi Zhonghai's last thoughts about Silly Zhu were cut off.
There is an old man at the top and a young man at the bottom. Even if the cook earns a good income, he may not have enough time and energy to take care of the old couple.
Yi Zhonghai and his wife are both in their sixties, especially Yi Zhonghai, who has a short beard and short hair that is all white. He has long started to receive pensions. Now, he and his wife are counting on their fingers to see how long they will live.
Once I fall asleep, I can't get up.
At night, in the west wing of the central courtyard, the old couple was lying on the kang and chatting. Yi Zhonghai sighed and said helplessly: "It seems that Zhuzi is hopeless!"
"Yes, Mr. Ran's body doesn't look like a tough one!" The eldest mother also had a sad look on her face: "But besides Zhu Zhu, who else can we look for?"
Yi Zhonghai is also worried about this matter.
After thinking for a long time, he said: "Xu Damao is too cunning and selfish. It's definitely not possible to find him. Rainwater will get married sooner or later, and the sons of Lao Liu and Lao Yan can't be counted on. Calculating, there is no way.
Qin Huairu is the most suitable."
"Qin Huairu?" The eldest mother asked doubtfully, "Isn't her mother-in-law still here?"
Yi Zhonghai said: "Although her mother-in-law is here, the conflict between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been going on for almost ten years, and it has not been resolved yet. Even if they talk it out one day, the relationship will definitely not be the same as it was before, and how can we be together these years?
He helped their family a lot."
"That's what I say, but can Qin Huairu agree? After all, it's not easy for a woman to support a large family." Auntie's concerns are not unreasonable. The Jia family's family background is there.
Yi Zhonghai said: "Banggen has found a job, Huaihua is about to graduate, and the three children have grown up. The hard days of the Jia family are almost over."
"Where is Wang Zhong in the front yard?" Aunt asked suddenly.
Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes at him and said: "We are not related to them and have no social contact with them. Why should they take care of us in our old age?"
"Hey!" The aunt's expression darkened when she heard this, and she sighed: "It seems that Qin Huairu is the only one."
"After so many years, we all have seen Qin Huairu's character. Just because she has three children and a mother-in-law, she is better than most people in this hospital."
"You are right!" Aunt Ma also said with deep approval: "Qin Huairu's character is beyond words."
"I just don't know if she is willing to do it!" the eldest mother said with some anxiety. The issue of old age care has now become a worry for both of them.
"I'll talk to her later!" After a long silence, Yi Zhonghai spoke again.
"It can only be the!"
The old couple had no children in their lives, not even a nephew, so the only thing they worried about was that they had no one to rely on.
In the middle courtyard, the main room, and the west room, a big Kang is built from the window to the back room, separated by a wooden cabinet. Inside is the bedroom for the couple, and outside are the three sons sleeping. This was still in the 1970s, silly
Zhu changed it after listening to Wang Zhong's suggestion.
At that time, the deaf old lady had not yet passed away, and Yu Yu had never married. Thinking that there would be more children in the family in the future, and seeing that Wang Zhong's house was clean, tidy and beautiful, Silly Zhu went to ask Wang Zhong for his opinion.
Wang Zhong said that instead of going to trouble, it would be better to just build a big kang in the back room, separate it with cabinets in the middle, and use curtains on the outside. You only need to pass a flue to the back wall. It will keep you warm in winter and save some money.
coal.
There were many families sleeping on the kang in the courtyard, and Shazhu naturally knew the difference. But in the past, he was the only one in the family, so he could endure it even in the winter.
Shazhu's house is the main house in the courtyard. This courtyard used to be the palace of the prince, and the materials used are the most solid. The earthquake a few days ago only knocked out a few tiles, two cabinets, and some dishes. There is not much in the house.
big loss.
Silly Zhu left his parents behind. Ran Qiuye was moved and naturally wanted to reward Silly Zhu well. But because he was worried about disturbing the son next door, the couple could only wait until the three sons fell asleep before they could get intimate.
It was midsummer and the weather was hot, but within a few moments, the couple was already sweating profusely.
"After a few days of rest, let's take our parents to the hospital for a check-up!" After the clouds and rain passed, the couple lay on their backs on the kang covered with straw mats. Silly Zhu said while breathing heavily.
Ran Qiuye turned to look at Silly Zhu and said, "Wang Zhong suggested it?"
Silly Zhu also turned to look at Ran Qiuye, their eyes meeting each other: "Well! Wang Zhong suggested that we take our parents to the hospital for regular check-ups. It is best to take a look at all the indicators. As the elderly get older, all kinds of problems will appear.
When I came out, my father was less than sixty, and he looked older than the elders. He had suffered a lot in the past few years!"

Silly Zhu couldn't help but ask: "Is there any news from your brother and your younger brother?"
Ran Qiuye shook his head and said: "It's still the same."
Silly Zhu reached out and grabbed Ran Qiuye's hand, looked at Ran Qiuye and said seriously: "It will get better."
"Yes!" Ran Qiuye nodded heavily.
In the front yard, in the east wing, on the bed, Qin Jingru nestled in Wang Chong's arms with a satisfied smile.
Qin Jingru said: "My sister came to see me today!"
Wang Zhongdao: "What did you say?"
Qin Jingru said: "I just told you about Banggeng. He said that Banggeng did a good job in the machinery factory and that the workers took good care of him. Let me thank you on her behalf!"
"Then how are you going to thank me?" Wang Zhong lowered his head and looked at Qin Jingru.
Ten years have passed, and Qin Jingru is only thirty years old. Not to mention pampered, but she has never had to worry about life. With Wang Zhong's help in taking care of her, not only has her skin become white and smooth, but her figure has also become more slim and slim, and now her belly is
As it grows bigger, not only does it not look bloated, but it has a different kind of beauty.
As an old married couple, Qin Jingru knew what Wang Zhong was thinking just by looking at him. She was not shy and met Wang Zhong's gaze and said, "Didn't I thank you just now?"
"Is there any?" Wang Zhong said, "Why don't I know?"
"Death look!" Qin Jingru glanced sideways at Wang Zhong, her eyes full of charm and charming.
Wang Zhong leaned over to Qin Jingru's ear and whispered a few words. Qin Jingru couldn't help but roll her eyes at Wang Zhong, and then she took the initiative to kiss him.
An hour later, the couple who came out of the bathroom lay down on the kang again. Qin Jingru didn't even want to say anything at this moment, but Wang Zhong said: "By the way, there hasn't been much happening in the factory recently, I plan to
Let’s renovate our home.”
"Huh?" Qin Jingru's mouth was still sore at the moment. She really didn't want to speak, so she just hummed, with a questioning tone.
Wang Zhong explained: "The wood is lying around at home. I plan to renovate the kitchen, customize a batch of hardware from the factory, and test the new products from the factory."
"New product?" Qin Jingru couldn't help but asked, enduring the pain.
Wang Zhong grinned: "You will know when the time comes."
Over the weekend, Wang Zhong called on Shazhu, Banggan, and a few young neighbors in the front yard to help move the wood out of the house, get it to the wood processing factory, and saw it into two centimeters thick boards, 3x5.
Mu Fang, then loaded the truck and brought it back to the courtyard.
Since the kitchen was to be renovated, it was inevitable to use bricks. Wang Zhong did not have to do this work himself, and the two free labors of Shazhu and Banggen were left in vain.
The original wooden desk was moved to the warehouse, and the stove, pots and pans were temporarily moved under the eaves. There were two helpers, Bangge and Shazhu, one mixing grout and cement, and the other responsible for moving bricks. It only took half a day.
In a short time, Wang Zhong built the stove and partition walls.
There was only a doorway two meters high and ninety centimeters wide between the kitchen and the main room, and the day passed like this.
The masonry work was completed in a long time, and only the carpentry was left. Wang Zhong first made new doors and windows, and then punched a square hole in the kitchen wall, using prefabricated beams made of reinforced concrete.
I held it up and installed the range hood brought from the factory.
He worked for more than an hour every day after getting home. Even with Wang Zhong's speed, it took him nearly two weeks to finish the kitchen.
Most of the time was spent waiting for the paint to dry.
After the kitchen was remodeled, all the garbage was cleaned up, and the sweeping was completed, Qin Jingru almost dropped her jaw to the floor when she looked at the brand new kitchen.
Under the west wall is the stove chopping board made of red bricks. A layer of smooth white ceramic tiles is also laid around the reinforced concrete countertop. There is a pool next to the window. The area to the south is where the chopping board is, and the area to the west is where the chopping board is.
On the countertop is a cupboard.
Under the stage is a place where pots, pans, rice, noodles, grains and oils are placed, and it is divided into multiple spaces.
On the stage is a row of wooden cabinets with invisible door designs, which looks very novel.
After passing the corner, leaning against the south wall were three stove burners, two large and one small. Above the stove was a new product that Wang Zhong said was the first-generation range hood in the country. The one Wang Zhong brought back was from the factory.
The experimental product here has just been produced for a month.
"Is this the new product you are talking about?" Qin Jingru asked curiously, looking at the range hood above the stove.
Wang Zhong said: "This is called a range hood. As long as you open it, you can pump out all the oil and salt produced by cooking."
"Range hood?" How could Qin Jingru have such a concept.
Wang Zhong pulled Qin Jingru to the stove and said with a smile, "I'll teach you how to use it."
