Chapter 152 Yi Zhonghai's Son 7
"Dad...Dad..."
Early in the morning, the He brother and sister discovered that their father's belongings and bedding were missing. He Yuzhu hurriedly opened the secret compartment in He Daqing's cabinet, only to find the house deed with his name written on it, and all the money was gone.
He Yuzhu left his sister with Aunt Yi to take care of himself, and ran to the steel plant canteen to find He Daqing alone.
"Zhu Zi, your father asked me to tell you that you can be an apprentice in the steel plant canteen in a few days, and then become a regular worker after you get familiar with the job." The canteen director saw He Daqing's son coming.
"Director, have you seen where my father went?" He Yuzhu asked anxiously.
"He told me yesterday that he was going to resign and leave his position to you, but I heard that he went to Baoding with the widow." The canteen director looked at the half-grown He Yuzhu with sympathy.
He Yuzhu suppressed his anger, thanked the canteen director and immediately rushed back to the courtyard.
"I want my dad..." He Yushui seemed to feel that her father would not come back, and cried for He Daqing.
"Stop shouting at that man, he won't come back." He Yuzhu heard it at the door and couldn't help but shout angrily.
He Yushui was so frightened by her brother that she didn't dare to cry.
"Zhuzi, don't be so loud. You'll scare your sister." Aunt Yi took her little hand and led her to her son with pity.
"Aunt Yi, my mind is so confused now. I don't know what to do." He Yuzhu had never experienced such a big thing. Now only the two siblings were left at home. They were at a loss and wanted advice from Yi Zhonghai and his wife, who were very kind to them.
"I'll ask someone to ask for leave for you at Fengze Garden later. Stay here with me for lunch and wait for my boss to come back." Aunt Yi knew something.
"Sister Yu Shui, what's wrong with you?" Yi Yongkang looked at He Yu Shui with red eyes crying.
"My father doesn't want me anymore," He Yushui said with tears in her eyes.
Yi Yongkang seemed to have heard something yesterday but he didn't remember anything. He only remembered that an uncle gave his father something and left.
"Sister, don't cry, I'll give you candy." Yi Yongkang took the malt sugar that Aunt Yi gave him in the morning from his pocket and gave it to He Yushui.
He Yushui sensibly refused his candy and let him eat it himself.
In the end, the two of them shared half of the candy. He Yushui stopped crying and took the textbook to teach Yi Yongkang how to read and act as a teacher.
He Yuzhu felt bad seeing his sister, and helped Aunt Yi clean the living room.
In the third workshop of the steel plant, machines are busy making fine parts one after another.
Yi Zhonghai held the parts in his hands and polished them carefully, while Jia Dongxu worked on the machine beside his master with his eyes fixed.
"Dongxu, as long as you become proficient in machine operation now and there are no problems, you will be promoted to a second-level worker." Yi Zhonghai handed a simple part to him and gave him guidance.
"Master, no problem. I have already learned how to polish the parts for second-level workers." Jia Dongxu confidently picked up the parts and began to polish them on the machine.
Yi Zhonghai was pleased to see that his apprentice moved smoothly on the machine.
When he went to the canteen to get his lunch after work at noon, Yi Zhonghai found the canteen director and asked about He Daqing. He learned that he had arranged for Zhuzi to work in the canteen, so he put aside his worries and joined the queue to get his lunch.
"Master Yi, I'll serve you more dishes." The chef who served the dishes also knew from the expression on Yi Zhonghai's face that he was a level 6 fitter and didn't dare to shake the spoon. He scooped a large spoonful of cabbage and meat shreds deftly with his right hand holding the spoon.
"Thank you"
Yi Zhonghai thanked him calmly, took the lunch box, asked for three steamed buns, paid the money, and found a place to sit down and eat.
"Have you heard?"
"Chef He from Canteen No. 3 ran off with a widow, leaving his children behind"
"This is all out of date. I heard that the widow was pregnant and couldn't hide her big belly anymore."
Yi Zhongbian was eating while listening to the workers next to him gossiping. He felt helpless towards He Daqing for actually releasing such news to confuse the public.
As dusk approached, the steel factory workers all got off work and went home. Among the crowd, Yi Zhonghai was also anxious to return to the courtyard to see his son.
When I returned to the Nanluoguxiang courtyard, I ran into the gatekeeper Yan Bugui who was pruning flowers and branches at the door. I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
"Master Yi is back." Yan Bugui looked up and saw that he came back empty-handed, but he did not take the initiative to approach him. He just greeted him verbally.
"Teacher Yan, get out of class is over early," Yi Zhonghai replied with a smile.
"I heard that He Daqing from the Intermediate Court ran away, leaving his two children behind. Master Yi, have you heard about it?" Yan Bugui's eyes revealed a shrewd and calculating look.
"You heard wrong. He arranged for Zhuzi to work in the factory cafeteria early in the morning." Yi Zhonghai didn't intend to argue with him. After saying a few words, he immediately went back to the backyard.
The Yi family in the backyard had already prepared the food. The home-cooked dishes made by He Yuzhu were delicious and the aroma wafting in the room made Yi Yongkang drool. He learned the cooking skills from He Daqing's Tan family cuisine and learned Sichuan cuisine from his uncle in Fengze Garden. At a young age, he already knew the ins and outs of the kitchen.
"When will Uncle Yi come back?" He Yushui was also salivating over the food made by his brother.
Yi Zhonghai just happened to walk into the door and heard these words.
"I'm back, let's eat quickly, don't let the kids go hungry"
"Boss, you're back." Aunt Yi gave him a hot towel and asked him to wipe his face and hands.
After Yi Zhonghai finished wiping, he said hello to He Yuzhu and asked everyone to eat first.
"Xiaobao, do you miss your daddy?" Yi Zhonghai picked up his son and sat him on the chair.
"I miss my dad." Yi Yongkang happily nestled in his chest, feeling a sense of security.
Yi Zhonghai happily took his son's small bowl and spoon, scooped a bowl of porridge, cooled it, and fed it to Yi Yongkang.
Aunt Yi signaled to the brother and sister next to her to relax and eat quickly.
Yi Yongkang ate a small bowl of porridge and two boiled eggs cooked by Aunt Yi, but he couldn't eat anymore. He had secretly eaten some bread and biscuits in the space today, so he was not hungry at all.
"Xiaobao, are you sure you're full?" Yi Zhonghai touched his belly in confusion.
"Dad, I'm full." Yi Yongkang felt guilty and didn't dare to look at Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai was very smart and could tell the expression on his son's face at a glance.
I had a rough idea in my mind that he had probably eaten something again, so I planned to talk to my wife before going to bed at night and ask her not to let my son eat anything careless and to keep the snacks and candies in the house securely stored.
Yi Zhonghai put his son aside, picked up his own bowl, drank a large bowl of porridge in one breath, picked up several dishes cooked by He Yuzhu with chopsticks, and praised He Yuzhu for his good cooking skills.
"Uncle Yi likes to eat, eat more." He Yuzhu really likes others' recognition of his cooking skills.
He Yushui often eats dishes cooked by the father and son. It is no longer a rare sight and she doesn’t eat very quickly.
After dinner, Aunt Yi cleared the table. Seeing that Yi Yongkang was squinting with fatigue, she carried her son back to the room.
"Your father left a small cloth bag with me before he left yesterday."
"Tell me about your plans."
Now that Yi Zhonghai has a son, he does not count on his apprentice Jia Dongxu or He Yuzhu to support him in his old age. He does not plan to hide He Daqing's arrangements from He Yuzhu, or covet the money he left behind, but directly tells the He brothers and sisters.
