Chapter 151 Yi Zhonghai's Son 6
A large number of male and female workers poured out of the steel plant gate to go home after get off work.
Yi Zhonghai packed up his things and walked out of the workshop, preparing to go to the grain store to buy food.
"Master Yi, why don't you go home?" The workshop workers who saw him at the gate saw that he was not heading home.
"The food for the children at home is gone. I need to go buy some to bring back." Yi Zhonghai smiled lovingly as he thought of his son.
"Oh, then hurry over and buy it, otherwise the store will be closed." The workshop workers were very envious of Yi Zhonghai's high salary that allowed him to support his family.
Yi Zhonghai picked out the most expensive new rice in the grain store and bought ten kilograms of it, as well as ten kilograms of millet. He also bought half a kilogram of malt sugar from the store next door to sweeten his son's mouth.
When I returned to the courtyard, I met Yan Bugui at the door, holding his little daughter Yan Jiedi and coaxing her.
"Master Yi is back. Let me see what he bought." Yan Bugui looked at Yi Zhonghai with envy as he saw the food in his arms and was about to walk up to him and grab some.
"It's nothing. We're out of food at home. Let's buy a few pounds of coarse grains." Yi Zhonghai dodged his hand, took out a piece of maltose from his pocket, and handed it to Yan Jiedi, who was the same age as his son.
"Thank you, Master Yi." Yan Bugui saw that there was an opportunity to get a good deal, so he quickly let his daughter take the candy.
When Yi Zhonghai left the gate, he took the malt sugar from his daughter's hand and coaxed her, saying that he would go back and make sugar water later so that everyone could drink it together.
"Boss, you're back." When Aunt Yi saw Yi Zhonghai coming back, she quickly brought the warm dinner from the kitchen to the dining table.
After Yi Zhonghai came back, he put the food in the storage cabinet, took a basin of warm water from the kitchen, washed his face and wiped his hands.
"Is Xiaobao still in the room now?"
"You know that Xiaobao is afraid of the cold and the weather outside is bad, so he has been playing in the room all afternoon." Aunt Yi served the porridge and placed it on the dining table.
"I'll go in and see him."
Yi Zhonghai pushed open the bedroom door and walked in, and saw his son playing with a wooden horse and a cloth tiger on the crib.
"Dad, you're back." Yi Yongkang heard the voice and looked up to see that it was his father who came back. He happily threw away the cloth tiger in his hand and stretched out his hand for a hug.
"Xiaobao, look what daddy brought you?" Yi Zhonghai skillfully picked up his son and took out a small bag of malt sugar from his pocket, motioning him to open it and take a look.
"It's candy, Dad." Yi Yongkang opened the paper package in his father's hand and smelled the sweet smell, then saw pieces of malt sugar inside.
"You can only eat one piece of candy a day. Keep it for your mother later." Yi Zhonghai took a piece of candy from the candy and gave it to him, and wrapped up the rest.
Yi Zhonghai was afraid that his son would be cold, so he took out a thick coat from the closet, wrapped his son's small body, and went to the living room together.
On the dining table was a plate of fried cabbage, ten cornmeal buns, a large bowl of rice porridge, and a bowl of steamed eggs.
Yi Yongkang held the steamed bun in his little hands and nibbled on it, while Aunt Yi was feeding her son a bowl of steamed eggs.
Yi Zhonghai was in a good mood and ate the cabbage with steamed buns. After having a son, the couple no longer lived a makeshift life like before, and their life was like a stagnant pool of water.
After dinner, Yi Zhonghai took his son to the main room next door to visit the old lady.
"Madam, have you had dinner?" Yi Zhonghai greeted respectfully.
"He has eaten. This is Xiaobao, right?" The deaf old lady was wiping the table in the main room. When she saw the chubby Yi Yongkang in Yi Zhonghai's arms, she happily walked up to him and touched his face.
"You two have raised him very well. My little grandson is so lucky." The deaf old lady liked the big fat boy in front of her very much. Two years ago, he looked like a skinny monkey. The couple were so cautious that they didn't dare to bring him to the yard to show others. Now that they are better able to raise him, they feel relieved.
"Grandma" Yi Yongkang called out obediently.
"Oh, so sensible." The deaf old lady asked Yi Zhonghai to wait a moment. She turned to the bedroom and found a small gold locket. Tears flashed in her eyes with nostalgia. She suppressed her emotions and went back to the living room to put it on Yi Yongkang's neck and buried it in his clothes.
"Old lady, you can't use this. It's too precious." Yi Zhonghai saw that it was a pendant made of gold and wanted her to take it back.
"This is for my grandson," the deaf old lady asked the father and son to go back quickly.
Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to thank the old lady and carried his son back to the yard.
Yi Yongkang touched the little gold lock on his chest with his little hand and felt somewhat happy.
There was no one in the yard at this time, everyone was eating and resting at home.
He Daqing came to the backyard in a furtive manner to look for Yi Zhonghai, and happened to see him carrying his son back in the yard.
"Old Yi, wait..." He Daqing walked forward anxiously to stop him.
"Brother He, what's going on?" Yi Zhonghai looked at him curiously because he looked abnormal.
He Daqing saw that his son in his arms was a little hesitant, but seeing that time waited for no one, he quietly pulled him to a secluded corner.
"Old Yi, I have decided to pack up and leave here soon," He Daqing did not hide it from him.
"Why are you leaving here suddenly? What about your children?" Yi Zhonghai felt confused and his hands around his son tightened.
Yi Yongkang felt a little uncomfortable with his waist and clapped his father's hand.
Seeing that his son was uncomfortable, Yi Zhonghai quickly relaxed his grip.
"Lao Yi, I know a lot of people who are chefs, and I heard that there will be big moves from above."
"After a period of time, every household will be divided into different classes and their household registration will be investigated and registered."
"I used to be a cook in a high-ranking official's office, and I'm afraid it will affect Zhuzi and my daughter," He Daqing whispered the reason in Yi Zhonghai's ear.
When Yi Zhonghai heard the news, he thought about his family background. He thought that three generations of his family were farmers who fled famine and settled here, so he felt relieved that it wouldn't be a big problem.
"I plan to stay in Baoding for a few years first," He Daqing said, then he took out a small cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Yi Zhonghai.
"This is my savings of the past few years. You keep it for me, and use it for Zhuzi to get married. When I settle down in Baoding, I will send you money every month as living expenses for them two siblings." After saying this, He Daqing left quickly without waiting for anyone to react, went back to the Central Courtyard to pack up his things and ran away.
Yi Zhonghai held his son in his arms and looked at the cloth bag in the station, feeling particularly heavy in his heart.
Yi Yongkang looked at his absent-minded father, curious about the cloth bag in his other hand, and reached out to grab it in his arms.
"This is not a toy, let go." Yi Zhonghai came to his senses and tried to take back the cloth bag that his son had snatched from him.
"Do not"
Yi Yongkang held her tightly in his arms and refused to let go.
Seeing that he couldn't get the thing back in a short time, Yi Zhonghai took his son back home and planned to hide it before going to bed at night.
"Wife, He Daqing is about to run away. Remember to take good care of the brother and sister tomorrow." Yi Zhonghai came to the living room and explained the situation to Aunt Yi.
"What a sin He Daqing has committed." Aunt Yi felt sorry for the brother and sister because they were still young and ignorant. Without an adult at home, they were easily bullied.
In the evening, Aunt Yi washed Yi Yongkang's feet and wiped his face. Looking at his chubby feet, she felt itchy and pinched his feet.
On the other side, Yi Zhonghai carefully took the small cloth bag from beside the pillow of the crib while his son was not paying attention and hid it in the cupboard.
