Chapter 153 Yi Zhonghai: I thank your eight generations of ancestors
"Comrade Yan Bugui, Comrade Yan Bugui?" Director Gao called out softly to the third uncle Yan Bugui, waking him from his thoughts.

"Okay, leader, please follow me." Yan Bugui immediately led the way.

Everyone followed closely and came to Yi Zhonghai's home in the central courtyard.

After knocking on the door, Yan Bugui shouted loudly: "Is Lao Yi home?"

Yi Zhonghai went out to take a look and saw people from the street office. He was a little surprised and asked, "What happened?"

Yan Bugui answered first: "Congratulations, Lao Yi, it's a good thing!" But his expression seemed a little forced.

"Good news?" Yi Zhonghai was instantly excited when he heard that, and secretly thought in his heart: Could it be that I am going to resume my status as the manager?

Yi Zhonghai waved his hands exaggeratedly and said enthusiastically: "Oh! What matters do you have to ask the leaders to come here in person? Just inform me and it will be done. I promise to do it properly."

He then said to Yan Bugui: "Old Yan, I have to criticize you. You haven't done your job well. It's not okay to ask the leaders to come here in person. You have to take the initiative to help the leaders solve their problems!"

Yan Bugui felt uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Okay! You haven't even confirmed that you will resume your status as the manager yet, but you're already pretending to be me." He could only nod helplessly and say: "Yes, yes..."

Director Gao smiled and said to everyone: "Look, Comrade Yi Zhonghai is still very conscious. Although he made mistakes, he corrected them in time. This is a good comrade!"

After she said that, Yi Zhonghai felt more at ease, thinking that the hard times were finally over. So, he smiled even brighter and invited them very warmly: "Leaders, don't stand at the door and talk. Let's go in and have some hot tea and chat slowly."

After everyone entered the room, he was busy running around, handing out cigarettes and tea, and was extremely flattering. Faced with the constant flattery from the street office, he couldn't stand it anymore, and finally said, "Haha! I wonder if the leaders came here today to convey any instructions?"

Director Gao smiled at Yi Zhonghai and his wife and said, "Comrade Yi Zhonghai, happy event! I congratulate you."

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, his face beamed with joy and he continued to listen with great anticipation.

Director Gao said to Yi Zhonghai: "You two have no children, so we at the Street Office have a solution that will satisfy both parties..."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over him from head to toe, chilling his heels.

"What do you think of this method?" Director Gao continued.

Yi Zhonghai was silent, feeling chilled in his heart, not knowing how to respond. This so-called best of both worlds solution was not what he wanted at all.

The auntie's eyes lit up when she heard this. She knew Yi Zhonghai's plan. She thought that adopting a good child and raising him from childhood to adulthood would be more emotional, while Yi Zhonghai was too lazy to do it and just wanted to pick up a ready-made one.

So, she poked Yi Zhonghai lightly and suggested: "Old Yi, why don't we go and take a look..."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai immediately became angry: "You are a woman with long hair and little knowledge, what do you know?" He was anxious for the moment and spoke without restraint, which offended the other two female comrades present.

Director Gao's face changed, and he said seriously: "Comrade Yi Zhonghai, you cannot discriminate against women. I just said that you corrected your mistakes and made great progress in your thinking. Is this how you made progress?"

Yi Zhonghai panicked and quickly explained: "Director Gao, please listen to my explanation. I was wrong. I didn't mean that..."

Director Gao looked displeased and said in a deep voice: "No need to say more, let me ask you, what do you think of our proposal?"

"This... Can you give me some time to think about it?" Yi Zhonghai was helpless and did not dare to respond directly. He could only play a delaying tactic.

The male comrade from the subdistrict office persuaded him: "Comrade Yi Zhonghai, if you have any difficulties or concerns, please tell us and we will work together to find a solution."

Yi Zhonghai said hesitantly: "To be honest, my husband and I are anxious to have children, but adopted children are not good. They are like ungrateful wolves, and they are impossible to feed. The old saying 'Don't raise a child of a different surname' is not without reason..."

When Director Gao heard this, he became even angrier, thinking that Yi Zhonghai had indeed been influenced by feudal ideas and had failed to successfully undergo ideological transformation.

So, she loudly rebuked him, "Yi Zhonghai, it seems that there is something wrong with your thinking. Your mind is full of feudal remnants and needs to be reformed."

Yi Zhonghai shuddered all over when he heard this. He was really afraid of labor reform. If he did something like this again, he might as well die.

Director Gao's expression eased a lot and he asked, "Are you really willing to adopt a child?"

Yi Zhonghai quickly replied: "Sincerely, sincerely, I promise." Cold sweat broke out on his face as he kept making promises.

"Well, it's not too hard, right?"

"No need to force it. No need to force it." Yi Zhonghai wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Director Gao nodded and continued to explain: "In this case, the subdistrict office will also handle the rationing issues for the children for you, so that your lives will not be affected too much. You only need to focus on raising and caring for the children's growth."

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai sighed helplessly, thinking that this was a blessing in disguise, and could only nod helplessly.

"Furthermore, I want to remind you that once you adopt a child, you must treat them as your own. The Street Office will never tolerate child abuse and other behaviors. Once discovered, they will be severely punished. Do you understand?" Director Wang warned in a stern tone. Yi Zhonghai broke out in cold sweat again and kept wiping it. He responded firmly: "Understand, understand, please rest assured, we will treat them as our own children."

Director Wang saw that after a combination of soft and hard tactics, Yi Zhonghai's attitude softened and the matter was resolved smoothly, so he prepared to get up and leave.

She finally said, "It's settled then. You go to the neighborhood office tomorrow to adopt a child. You are the first one, so you can choose first."

Then, he instructed: "Yi Zhonghai, this time it all depends on your performance. If you perform well, we will let bygones be bygones. If not..."

"Hehe! You decide for yourself!"

Yi Zhonghai said repeatedly: "Hey! Leader, don't worry, leader, take care..."

After everyone left, Yi Zhonghai suddenly collapsed and slipped to the ground. He seemed to have experienced a serious illness, exhausted and weak. Seeing this, an old lady hurried over and helped him into the house.

After entering the house, Yi Zhonghai's eyes were dim, like a long-time widow who had lost her only hope and looked extremely desperate. He kept muttering, "It's over! It's over! All the years of planning have gone to waste."

……

After seeing off the satisfied Director Gao, Yan Bugui's mood became particularly good. What happened at Yi Zhonghai's house almost made him laugh out loud, but he had to work hard to hold it in until now.

"Hahaha……"

"Old Yi, now you are going to have a lot of fun..."

Then, he went back to the house triumphantly, with his hands behind his back, humming a little opera.

"I was standing on the city wall looking at the mountain scenery when I heard the commotion outside the city.

The banners fluttered and turned, but it turned out to be a soldier sent by Sima.

I also sent someone to inquire about it, and when I inquired, Sima led the soldiers to the west.

Firstly, Ma Su was incompetent and lacked talent, and secondly, the loss of Jieting was caused by the discord between the generals.

......"

Seeing Yan Bugui shaking his head in joy, the third aunt couldn't help but ask curiously, "What happened to Old Yan today? Did you pick up money?"

Yan Bugui said to her mysteriously, "Do you want to know what's going on?"

When the third aunt heard this, her curiosity was aroused and she asked hurriedly, "Oh? Then tell me about it!"

"Go and fry two eggs for me. I want to have a drink and tell you later." Yan Bugui instructed her, with excitement in his eyes.

The third aunt joked, "Oh! You don't plan to live like this anymore." Yan Bugui smiled and replied, "I'll make an exception today."

"Okay! Just wait!" She said and went to fry the eggs quickly.

On the other side, Gan Ning returned to the East Courtyard in a happy mood. As soon as she entered the house, she greeted Deng Ru with a smile, "Mom, I'm back!"

When Deng Ru saw Gan Ning coming back, she was also all smiles: "Xiao Ning! What's the matter? Why are you so happy? Tell me."

Gan Ning told her everything like this and like this.

When Deng Ru heard the news, she was shocked and exclaimed: "Ah!" This thing can be done this way.

----

"Leader! Leader!" Li Ming called Liu Zhiye softly.

"Hatch!"

"Yeah! Are we there yet?"

Liu Zhiye opened his eyes and stretched. He felt his muscles were still a little stiff and needed to move around.

"Let's get off the car and take a walk to the training ground." Liu Zhiye suggested.
