The days of being a buyer in Siheyuan

Chapter 562 Weekend Dinner

Time quickly came to the weekend.

The yard is very lively today. He Daqing and He Yuzhu are busy at the temporary stove built in the yard.

After the fried dishes came out of the pot, they were taken away by the women standing by.

"Come on, Minghui, let's have a toast."

A table was also set up at Liu Minghui's house. Several uncles from Yi Zhonghai, Xu Damao, and He Yuzhu and his son, who were in charge of cooking at the time and came over a while ago, sat at the table.

Liu Haizhong had a smiling face and raised the cup to signal Liu Minghui.

Seeing this, Liu Minghui did not refuse and said with a smile: "Okay, I have to thank you all today. Let's have a drink together."

Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui waved their hands repeatedly upon hearing this.

Yi Zhonghai said cheerfully, "We are all from the same courtyard, don't be so polite."

"Old Yi is right. We should be the ones thanking you. After all, our hospital hasn't been this lively for a long time."

"Hey, stop talking so much. Come on, drink."

A few of them clinked their glasses and drank it all.

Xu Damao put down the cup and said to Liu Haizhong, "Uncle, I heard that the old lady in the backyard can't get up?"

Xu Damao was asking about gossip. These past two days he heard people saying that the deaf old lady was probably dying.

That's why I thought of taking this opportunity to ask Liu Haizhong.

After hearing this, Liu Minghui also pricked up his ears and listened.

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong nodded with a heavy face and said in a low voice: "Yes, it is probably just a matter of time. Now people can only lie in bed and can't take care of themselves eating, drinking, defecating and urinating."

Except for Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui all looked sympathetic.

The main thing is that they are not young anymore, all around 50 years old. To put it bluntly, the deaf old lady's situation today may very likely be their tomorrow. How can they not empathize with her?

Xu Damao didn't feel much about this. Instead, he showed an envious expression and said, "I wonder how much wealth the deaf old lady left for the He family."

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the three people who were feeling the same thing suddenly froze, especially Yi Zhonghai. Originally, his family had been responsible for the old lady's daily life, but they gave up for some reason.

Later it was revealed how much wealth the deaf old lady had. How could Yi Zhonghai not be depressed?

There is also Liu Haizhong, who is also very regretful at this moment. He originally had the opportunity to get his hands on this money, but he gave up because of his short-sightedness. Thinking about it now, Liu Haizhong wants to slap himself.

"Ahem, stop talking, people are coming."

Yan Bugui suddenly said this.

Before they could react, He Daqing and He Yuzhu walked in. They were both carrying a plate of something.

"Come on, come on, the fish is just out of the pot, eat it while it's hot."

He Daqing said happily.

But in the eyes of several people, He Daqing's reaction was a little bit wrong. After all, even Liu Haizhong knew clearly that the deaf old lady was dying, and there was no reason why He Daqing didn't know.

But He Daqing could still laugh so happily at this moment. No matter who it was, they all looked down on He Daqing.

Especially from the perspective of Yi Zhonghai, a model of morality, He Daqing's smile was very dazzling, and he couldn't help but remind her: "Daqing, has the old lady eaten yet?"

"Yes, why not take some to the old lady."

Yan Bugui also reminded He Daqing at the right time.

He Daqing fell silent for a moment, and after a moment, he said helplessly: "The old lady probably can't eat anymore. She is lying in bed and can't move. She can't speak clearly and is drowsy."

He Daqing told the deaf old lady's current condition.

The more Liu Minghui listened, the more he felt that the deaf old lady was not dying, but rather had a stroke.

Liu Minghui thought about it and asked doubtfully, "That shouldn't be the case. I remember that the old lady was still able to walk around a month ago, right?"

"How come it's only been a month and he's already dying?"

As soon as Liu Minghui said this, the others looked at He Daqing. Not only Liu Minghui, they also had the same doubt.

"Hey, you all know about this." He Daqing thought for a moment and explained, "During the Chinese New Year, the old lady was thrown to the ground by that group of people and left to freeze for several hours. The doctor said that it was probably because of this, plus the old lady was old and couldn't stand the ups and downs, that she became like this."

"Didn't the doctor say anything?"

Liu Minghui continued to ask.

He Daqing thought about it, as if recalling something, and after a moment he said, "It seems to be a stroke. Anyway, I can only lie in bed, and I have to be taken care of by others for everything I do."

He Daqing had only one thought in his mind at this moment. He hoped that what the doctor said was true. Otherwise, He Daqing was unwilling to let his wife take care of the deaf old lady's pee and poop every day.

But he can't say it out loud now, and he has to let Chen Yun take care of him, so that people in the hospital won't say that he, He Daqing, is an ungrateful person.

"Alas, birth, aging, sickness and death are inevitable."

Yi Zhonghai said this with a sympathetic look on his face.

But it was only for a moment, Yi Zhonghai felt relieved when he thought of his precious son. At least he was no longer the childless family.

There is no need to worry about having a miserable life in old age or being eaten up by others.

"Hey, stop talking about this and let's drink some wine."

He Daqing didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he quickly raised his glass and spoke to them.

"Okay, let's drink. Lao He's cooking skills are getting better and better."

Yan Bugui raised his glass and agreed with a smile.

"Thanks to Minghui, otherwise it would be difficult for us to ask Lao He to cook a meal for us."

He Daqing's face turned serious when he heard this, and he seemed to be angry. He said angrily: "Old Yan, what you said is not true. No one in the hospital asked me to be the chef. If anyone needs me, I promise to only charge a little money for my hard work."

"Then I'll remember this. You can't refuse next time."

Yan Bugui said with a smile.

But in my heart I was thinking, the money you, He Daqing, earn through hard work is more expensive than hiring a cook outside, I would be stupid to hire you.

Just as a few people were toasting each other, someone suddenly came in from outside the door. It was Liu Haizhong's wife.

"Why are you here?"

Liu Haizhong looked at his wife in confusion as she hurried into the house.

Liu Haizhong's wife was probably a little anxious, and was gasping for breath due to exhaustion.

"Sister-in-law, take your time, don't be impatient."

Yi Zhonghai said quickly upon seeing this.

"The Jia Zhang family in the Central Court is causing trouble again."

In the end, the other party only said this one sentence, and everyone present looked serious.

"This Jia Zhang, she can't have peace even in good times."

Yi Zhonghai stood up cursing and was about to deal with it.

"I'll go with you. Lao Yi, wait for me."

Liu Haizhong was also very unhappy. He didn't even care about his wife and chased after the person outside.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment. Xu Damao suddenly smiled and said, "Why don't we go and take a look too?"

"Of course you can, but Minghui, you don't mind, right?"

Yan Bugui asked Liu Minghui carefully.

Liu Minghui did not use his spiritual sense to scan the middle courtyard, so he did not know what had happened. Seeing that several people wanted to go and take a look, he nodded and said, "Let's go and see what this commotion is about."
