Chapter 647 Another year later

In fact, Yi Zhonghai was more anxious.

When he saw the second aunt coming down, he directly stopped Liu Guangfu who was about to go up.

"Lao Liu, why don't you give me some money first? I'm still waiting to rent a house."

He was afraid that by then he would have nothing and nothing would be left.

How could Liu Haizhong agree? He ignored him.

"Qiao Yun, really not?"

"It's gone. I remember it clearly. I left it there. How could it be gone?"

Second Aunt's anxiety was written all over her face. She lowered her head and wondered who had come to her house in the past year or so.

As he spoke, Liu Guangfu climbed up onto the beam again and began searching.

Almost every inch was not spared.

But the result was still disappointing.

When they returned to the ground, the four of them all looked unhappy.

Liu Guangfu thought that with these savings, he could buy a job, but he was only happy for a few minutes before his dream was shattered.

Liu Haizhong and the second aunt regarded those things as their retirement funds. Now they are very sad and angry, but they can't even report it to the police.

Yi Zhonghai was even more miserable. The Liu family was not a group good at acting. He knew that this was real and it was really lost, and they were not lying to him.

But what can I do? I need money now, and it’s doubtful that Liu Haizhong can give it to me.

Yi Zhonghai did not comfort Liu Haizhong and left the Liu family silently.

"Boss, what are we going to do in the future?"

As soon as Yi Zhonghai left, the second aunt started complaining with tears streaming down her face.

Liu Haizhong had no idea and was still wondering which thief had visited his home.

The first thing that came to my mind was Bang Geng and Jia Zhangshi, but that seemed unlikely.

Anyone who dares to climb so high is most likely a professional robber.

"Don't worry, a living person can be killed by holding in urine. I will pay off the money in three more years, and then our family will have some savings."

"But in a few years, you will retire!" said the second aunt.

"When we retire, we also get a pension, which is 60 to 80 percent of our salary, enough for us to eat."

"Dad, what should I do?"

At this time, Liu Guangfu on the side was unwilling.

He was still counting on Liu Haizhong to help him find a job and get married. He couldn't wait a few more years as he was already 23.

"you?"

Liu Haizhong scratched his head.

"You should try to look for a job first! I can't help you now."

Liu Guangfu sat down on the stool, feeling that his future had never been so bleak.

Another person who also felt that life was bleak was Yi Zhonghai who just left.

With the help of the neighborhood office, he has rented a house not far away and found new neighbors to help take care of him.

Boil medicine, deliver meals, and wash clothes.

However, without the allowance from the deaf old lady and the subsidy from Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai's quality of life has significantly declined.

At the same time, due to the lack of available funds, his tolerance for error in life is very low.

You can't get sick, you can't have an attack, and you can't even fall down outside.

The deaf old lady's house has a toilet, but the new rental house doesn't.

Yi Zhonghai didn’t know yet that because of the toilet, this departure would become a farewell forever.

……

Winter has arrived.

The bone-chilling cold wind drove away the wild animals in the city and also drove away passers-by.

Hu Yulan, who went out to buy groceries, started complaining as soon as she entered the house.

"Why is it so cold this year? I'm freezing to death."

"No matter how cold it is, it's not as cold as in the countryside. I don't know how it is in the village, whether the livestock are frozen or not," said my dad.

"It should be fine. Caves have been dug in advance on the mountain, and there are mud houses built. The livestock are not stupid."

"We have to come out to look for food. At this time last year, the snow was half a person's thickness. This year, the snow may be even thicker."

"Luckily, Tiedan suggested setting up a breeding farm. Going into the mountains to hunt on this day would definitely lead to accidents."

"That is."

Wang Tiedan listened to the conversation between his parents and had the idea of ​​building a greenhouse.

Since we have to raise chickens and ducks anyway, we can build a few more sheds, which can be used as sheep pens or horse stables. Not only will it be warm, but we will also have vegetables to eat, which can be a source of income.

Most importantly, there is no shortage of firewood on the mountain.

The only two difficulties are technology and plastic film.

Wang Tiedan himself is knowledgeable about technology, so he might have to look for the film carefully.

Wang Tiedan was thinking when his mother came over and said, "Tiedan, guess who I saw? That hypocrite should have moved out. What are you going to do with the house? Who will move in?"

"Let the village chief make the decision. However, I guess they may arrange for the village children to come and live here. It's not a good thing for the village children to wander around the village all day long." Wang Tiedan said.

"That's true. Let them learn some culture and not be blind like the previous generation."

"If everyone comes, there won't be enough accommodation. Will the classes be too crowded?" Dad asked worriedly.

"It's okay. Just make it like a school dormitory, with upper and lower bunks. The boys will live on that side, and the girls will live at home. I think classes will resume next year, so you can just go to school and attend classes."

"That's fine. When it gets warmer, I'll find a construction team to do the renovations."

"Okay, just do it as you see fit."

Time flies and it is already the end of the year. The weather is still very cold, but it cannot stop the residents' enthusiasm for celebrating the New Year.

Write couplets, paste window flowers, set off firecrackers, and visit temple fairs.

The whole city is immersed in the joy of the New Year.

Especially on New Year’s Eve, every household makes dumplings and eats New Year’s Eve dinner, with the aroma of meat and constant joy.

Amidst all the hustle and bustle, there was a small house that seemed out of place.

It is also in Nanluoguxiang, not far from No. 95 Courtyard.

Although there were electric lights in the house of more than ten square meters, the walls looked like they were covered in smoke and were pitch black.

The furniture is quite simple, with just a bed, a cabinet and a stove.

There was a fire in the stove and the house was quite warm.

An old man with shaggy hair and a sallow face, wrapped in a cotton-padded jacket, was hunched over the stove, eating dumplings with one mouthful and taking a sip from a wine glass in the other.

Although there were only two bowls of dishes, his face was still full of enjoyment.

This person was none other than Yi Zhonghai, the Lord of Morality, who had left Courtyard No. 95.

This is the small house he rented. Although he has no worries about food and drink and seems very comfortable, he actually lives a life that is disliked by everyone.

At the beginning, the people who took care of him came several times a day, fearing that he would not be able to adapt.

But gradually, five trips became three, and three trips became two. If it weren't for the need to deliver food or medicine, no one would even be willing to get close to me.

The reputation, the moral blackmailing words, and the smell in the house that ranged from subtle to very strong were all reasons why everyone stayed away.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai also knew that he was also enduring the cold because the weather was too cold and he couldn't work.

So every expense can be saved.

So in just over a month, he looked like a beggar on the street.

But sometimes, it’s too late and I can’t control myself, so I have to pee in my pants, making the place smelly.

Fortunately, I insisted on taking medicine every day, the disease did not relapse, and my physical condition is much better than last year.

After the Spring Festival, the weather will get warmer and he can take work from the toy factory again. Yi Zhonghai feels that his hard days are coming to an end.

If there is no recurrence this year, it means that the probability of recurrence in the future will be much lower.

If he saves more money, he can hire someone to take care of his daily life and he won’t have to live such a shabby life anymore.

In his dreams at midnight, Yi Zhonghai recalled countless times the days when he held power in Courtyard No. 95. Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were suppressed by him. With Sha Zhu in his left hand, he attacked hard outside, and with Jia Dongxu in his right hand, he was filial and respectful to the inside. With Qin Huairu in his arms, he enjoyed all the blessings of having many wives.

It’s a pity that in the end, I would often be awakened by the laughter of people in the yard.

To be honest, what happened next was so embarrassing.

Yi Zhonghai himself felt ashamed.
