The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 148 Report Again

Yi Zhonghai and his wife had been away for nearly half a month without notifying anyone before that, but everyone in the compound speculated whether the couple had moved away or Yi Zhonghai had been transferred to another place for work.

Liu Hua thought that they might just go to other places to see if there were any orphans who could be adopted, because if Yi Zhonghai wanted to transfer his job, he should have done so when he was down and out, instead of submitting the application now that he has recovered some points.

Yi Zhonghai was determined to find suitable people to take care of him in his old age. He did not look for one nearby because he was afraid that the child's parents would find him in the future and the child would abandon them because of his biological parents.

So he looked far away, to eastern Shandong. He thought that the people there were simple and straightforward, and it was the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, so he should be able to find a suitable candidate.

In order to have a child to call her mother, Aunt Yi made up her mind and went to eastern Shandong with Yi Zhonghai, refusing to return until she found her own child.

The couple went to six or seven orphanages and finally adopted a pair of siblings. They asked people around the siblings for their evaluation of them and only went through the adoption procedures after receiving unanimous praise from everyone.

He also changed the names of his two children. The older boy, who is eight years old this year, was renamed Yicheng, and the girl, who is five years old, was renamed Yiling.

After completing the formalities, the two children were well-behaved and called them dad and mom directly. Yi Zhonghai was so moved that the old couple held the children and did not let go all the way.

When the couple and their child walked into the courtyard, they immediately caused an uproar. Although no one said anything openly, the discussions behind the scenes never stopped.

In particular, Jia Zhang had been uttering vicious curses behind the scenes, even though Qin Huairu's transfer had already meant that the two families had begun to draw a clear line between themselves.

But Jia Zhang was still brooding over it, always feeling that Yi Zhonghai owed her something and that he should help the Jia family unconditionally, so these two children were thorns in Jia Zhang's eyes and a thorn in her side.

But if you ask Jia Zhang to get rid of the two children, she doesn't have the courage, let alone the opportunity, because the children are the lifeblood of Yi Zhonghai and his wife. As long as they are in the yard, Aunt Yi basically keeps an eye on them and never gives Jia Zhang the chance to contact the two children.

Jia Zhang also thought about spreading rumors in front of the child, but Yi Zhonghai had already talked to Yi Cheng about it when adopting the child.

"The only regret we have in this life is that we don't have a child. We adopted you because you two are so outstanding. We are willing to love and train you like our own children. Now we are raising you when you are little, and you will take care of us when we are old. That's all I ask."

It is said that children from poor families grow up early, and this child without parents understands things even earlier. Yi Cheng did not say anything at the time, but pulled his sister to kneel on the ground and kowtowed three times respectfully to the old couple.

Silence is better than words at this moment. These three heads have already explained everything. Yi Zhonghai held the child in his arms at that time, always feeling comforted.

At the same time, I felt extremely annoyed. If I had known that adopting a child was not as bad as I had imagined, why would I have pretended to be kind and righteous in the compound?

Yi Zhonghai even has a vague worry now. Will the many immoral things he did in the past affect the blessings of his two children?
When he didn't have children, he thought it was feudal superstition, but now that he has children, he feels that he can neither completely believe it nor not believe it.

After the child fell asleep, Yi Zhonghai discussed with his wife. He regretted his mistakes, but how to make up for it was the most urgent task. The key was that Sha Zhu and his wife did not accept them, which gave them a headache. Aunt Yi was an old-fashioned housewife who could not read or write. When she was young, she believed in some supernatural things, so she secretly made up her mind that in order to atone for her sins, she would help Sha Zhu and his wife, even if they did not accept it, she would insist on it, all for the sake of the children.

Liu Hua became busier and busier. In addition to writing and drawing in the factory every day, he would also go home and do calculations with scratch paper. Science is a very rigorous thing, but numbers don't lie. Didn't the hydrogen bomb also start with the establishment of a data model?

For every piece of paper he wrote, Liu Feifei would ask whether it was useful. If it was useless, she would burn it, and if it was useful, she would lock it up, determined not to let even a single word leak out.

Liu Haizhong had seen Liu Feifei burning paper twice, and his first reaction was that the enemy spies were burning intelligence, but thinking about his own experience the last time, he was not sure.

Later, he became a little smarter and told the story in the yard, thinking of asking others to pull out the weeds. But Jia Zhang's words made him suddenly enlightened.

"What enemy spies?" Jia Zhang directly denied Liu Haizhong's inference that day, patting her chest and saying, "That's burning paper money. I used to do this before liberation."

Last time it was proved that Liu Hua could not be an enemy spy, so Liu Haizhong was sure that Liu Hua's family was practicing feudal superstition. Even if Liu Hua did not believe it, his newly married wife did.

After returning home and thinking about it, he decided to continue reporting. What if he made a contribution and his status as a liaison officer was restored? He would then be an official, and the thought of it made him happy.

However, Liu Haizhong still felt that he should observe for two more days before reporting it, so as to avoid any more misunderstandings. It would be better if he was scolded again. He also learned one thing from his studies in these days: false accusations will result in legal liability.

After two days of careful observation, Liu Haizhong discovered that Liu Feifei always secretly burned paper after ten o'clock in the evening, and then flushed the ashes into the sewer.

There's no running away, Liu Haizhong confirmed, this is just burning paper money, otherwise there would be no need to be so sneaky and wash away all the ashes, it would be feudal superstition behind everyone's back.

So after get off work, Liu Haizhong secretly ran to the street office and reported this abnormal behavior to Director Wang.

Director Wang said unhappily, "Liu Haizhong, you have a lot of things to do. This time you don't think it's the behavior of an enemy spy, but feudal superstition."

Through this period of education, Director Wang was basically convinced that Liu Haizhong was actually a fool. Not only did he have great ambitions but little talent, but he was also always self-righteous.

"Some time ago, you also said in class that Liu Hua could not be an enemy spy after many checks, so burning paper is definitely not the behavior of an enemy spy." Liu Haizhong said very confidently: "Burning paper in the middle of the night without telling anyone, the only thing I can think of is feudal superstition."

"They are dignified Grade 8 engineers." Director Wang frowned and said, "That is a profession that firmly believes in science. You tell me that their family is practicing feudal superstition. Do you think it is credible?"
