Chapter 104 Making trouble
Jia Zhang also said: "Li Zhiguo is very good, and he also persuaded Dongxu to be filial to me. This trend of caring for the elderly cannot be changed. We will all rely on our children to support us in the future."

"Yes, since Li Zhiguo has taken the lead, this is a good thing. This tradition must be maintained."

"Oh, everyone is chatting."

The deaf old lady came with a cane, followed by two aunts, and soon sat in the middle of the field. Now even Jia Zhang had to move aside. All the daughters-in-law in this courtyard were married in under the supervision of the old lady, so their seniority was based on this.

Mrs. Chen said, "Madam, we are talking about your retirement, why don't you let Cuiyun and Laoyi take care of you.

Even Li Zhiguo knows how to respect his elders, so let other young people learn from him.”

"I agree with this. My wife is old and needs someone to take care of her. She can't eat much. Besides, the street office gives her a five-dollar subsidy every month."

Sun Erniang seemed to understand that something was wrong with Chen Dasao today. She kept talking about elderly care. Usually, Chen Dasao was not so high-profile.

Li Zhiguo was just mentioned. If that bad boy wants to do something, he can come to her. She is no worse than Sister Chen.

When the deaf old lady heard this, her eyes lit up. She was not hard of hearing at all. She said happily, "Let Xiaoyi and Cuiyun take care of me in my old age. I, an old lady, have no say in this matter."

The lady hurriedly said, "Madam, I am happy to take care of you in your old age."

"Oh, our Cuiyun is still the best."

The old lady was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, but she didn't take it too seriously because others had no obligation to provide for her in her old age.

"Hey, what day is it today? It's so good!"

Li Zhiguo came and was woken up by Xiao Jingru. She had given him instructions last night. He was worried that Mrs. Chen was not experienced enough, so he decided to personally check at the critical moment.

If you don't make a move, then fine. But if you do make a move, you have to succeed in getting the house. Otherwise, if you live with your mother-in-law, how can you have a second or third child? It will be difficult to realize your potential.

"Li Zhiguo, we are talking about a middle-aged woman providing for an old lady. What do you think about this?"

Mrs. Chen brought up the topic with just one sentence.

Sun Erniang was certain that this was the bad boy's move, and quickly said, "We all agree, and Gang Yida has also expressed her opinion."

"Oh, that's a good thing! Madam is old and her legs are not very flexible. If she falls accidentally, it will be a big problem."

Li Zhiguo walked over and sat next to Aunt Wang, instead of going to Aunt Chen's place as it would be too obvious. There were many smart people in this courtyard.

"I would say Li Zhiguo would have to agree, he is also a filial child."

Mrs. Chen immediately praised him and said that she had completed her mission by transferring the elderly care issue to the bad boy.

Li Zhiguo did not respond, thinking, Sister, let's be careful about the impact and not make it too obvious.

"Grandson, you really agree to let the grandfather take care of me in my old age."

There is nothing wrong with the deaf old lady calling her eldest grandson, as Li Zhiguo is the oldest of the younger generation.

"Of course I agree with this. The uncle has a high salary, you, my wife, also have the minimum living allowance, and the aunt is at home every day.

Madam, if you move to the central courtyard, you will just need to buy a pair of chopsticks, which will be of no problem for you to take care of in your old age.

I will also help Huairu take care of her parents in the future, and set an example for the younger generations so that Jiefang, Guangqi and the others can learn from them."

When this was said, all the aunts were speechless. Just say it, don’t take your father-in-law and his family with you. Others have given you the land, can you wait until the day when you can retire?

"Then I'll listen to my eldest grandson?"

The deaf old lady looked very happy. No matter what Li Zhiguo wanted to do, it would be a good thing for her.

"Madam, of course you have to listen to Li Zhiguo. He is smart and if he agrees, there is no way he can change his mind."

"I think so too. Let Madam and Cuiyun keep each other company. It will be lively when we chat in the middle courtyard."

Even Jia Zhang nodded and said, "Madam, it would be good if you could come to the middle courtyard, so that Old Yi can show filial piety to the elders and my Dongxu can learn more."

Looking at Jia Dongxu again, she was still washing clothes, looking like a young wife.

At this time, Li Zhiguo said, "When the eldest uncle comes back from get off work, we can just hold a meeting of the whole hospital to decide this matter."

"That's good. We'll make it clear at the whole hospital meeting. From now on, Madam will have an old man to take care of her. Her life will be better and our hospital will be happy."

"Yes, we are an advanced courtyard. We can even be advanced this year. Let the courtyard next door be envious."

Everyone agreed, and Li Zhiguo nodded imperceptibly to Chen Dasao. The matter was settled. The will of the entire hospital could not be stopped even if Yi Zhonghai had any ideas.

It is undeniable that Yi Zhonghai often delivered food to the old lady before, but that could only be considered free-range feeding.

Because caring for the elderly is not just about eating, but also about drinking, defecating and urinating. It is not just a matter of one or two days, but for years. You also have to take care of the elderly's emotions, and keep them from getting sores and diseases. In short, it is a very troublesome thing.

If Yi Zhonghai wants others to take care of him in his old age, why not try providing care for others first and set an example for Brother Dongxu?

"Dongxu, do you want to go fishing this afternoon?"

Li Zhiguo was in a good mood and wanted to eat fish in the evening. He had to take a nap anyway, so it would be cool under the big tree by the river.

"Yes, my fishing rod is gone. My mother broke it."

Jia Dongxu looked expectant. Fishing was great. He had been thinking about the big fish that escaped last time and had even dreamed about it several times.

"Forget it, I only have two fishing rods and I can't share them with you."

Li Zhiguo was just joking and had to order takeout for lunch. He couldn't order one for brother Dongxu as well, as they also have wives to support.

Jia Zhang said, "Dongxu, you still have to cook at noon. Read more books and learn how to project movies in the afternoon."

"Mom, oh, I know."

Jia Dongxu felt in his pocket. He had secretly sold some scraps from home in the morning for two cents. If he saved up some, it would be enough to buy fishing line and hooks.

I just can’t find where my mother hid her pension money, so I can’t even go out to eat.

I should just write a song. I’ve almost finished one. By then I can earn more than a hundred yuan and buy a bicycle to go fishing, just like Li Zhiguo. How free and easy.

"Madam, you guys continue chatting. I'm going to take Xiao Jingru out fishing."

Li Zhiguo then withdrew. Like an old horse who knew the way well, he ordered takeout and went to a big tree beside the moat, where he spread out a mat, put away his fishing rod, and took a nap.

Xiao Jingru was waving a fan in her hand and staring at the float on the water. Today she also wanted to help her brother-in-law catch a big fish.

Unfortunately, perhaps this place had been swept by many anglers, and there was no movement until the takeaway was delivered. But fishing requires a state of mind, patience comes first, and don't panic.

"Brother-in-law, wake up, the pork noodles are here."

Xiao Jingru woke her brother-in-law up and told him that he couldn't miss the meal as it would be bad for his stomach.

"So fast?"

Li Zhiguo opened his eyes, sat up slowly, took the teacup, and drank the hot tea as a rinse.

Only then did he take the bowl and chopsticks handed to him by the young man, and ordered a small bowl for Xiao Jingru today so that she would not be treated unfairly.

The guy who served the noodles sat on the mat and waited, and couldn't help saying, "Brother, you bring someone to watch the fishing rod when you go fishing."

"This is my sister-in-law. She hasn't started school yet. I'm worried about her leaving her at home, so I brought her here to keep her company. Isn't that great?"

He took a bite of noodles and it still tasted the same. He couldn't help but think of the time when he was fishing in winter. Suddenly it was summer now.

Train hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer, the key is persistence!

"It's pretty good!"

The young man was full of envy, but he would soon succeed as he had learned his elder brother's method and was on the road to a good life.

Li Zhiguo finished his noodles and lay down again. The young man put the bowl and chopsticks into the lunch box and took one more look before leaving.

The big brother was sleeping soundly, and the little girl was looking at the fishing rod for him. It was so enviable.

In the afternoon, Xiao Jingru sat there staring at the river and almost fell asleep several times. Finally, she waited until the float started to move.

"Brother-in-law, hurry up, there are fish."

"What!"

Li Zhiguo was startled and learned his lesson this time. He simply grabbed the two fishing rods with both hands so he didn't have to worry about catching the wrong one.

"It's done!"

The fishing rod was pulled up easily and a small fish two fingers wide was caught. It was good to fry it directly in oil and even the fish bones could be eaten. It was very nutritious.

"Brother-in-law, this fish is so small."

Xiao Jingru looked disappointed, thinking it was another big fish.

When Li Zhiguo looked at the time, he knew that his luck for the day was up, so in order to have fish in the evening, he had to use the backup plan.

"Jingru, brother-in-law is not sleepy anymore, you can take a nap first, I will take you back when the time comes."

"Brother-in-law, I'm not sleepy either."

Xiao Jingru opened her eyes wide, afraid that she would not be able to open them again if she blinked.

"Come on, go to sleep and be obedient."

Li Zhiguo thought to himself, if you don't sleep, how can I fake it? I spent the whole morning bragging about fishing in the yard, and now I only bring back such a small fish. How can I still save face?

"Oh, I'll listen to my brother-in-law."

Xiao Jingru lay on her side on the mat and soon fell asleep.

Li Zhiguo was still worried, so he picked up a fan to cover Xiao Jingru's face, looked around, and moved a fish from the reward market into the bag. Wasn't that all?

Good luck, we're having fish tonight!
Thinking that this season is the time for wild delicacies, I bought a lot of mushrooms from the market. With meat and vegetables, it will be a perfect dinner.

"Brother-in-law, did you catch any fish?"

Xiao Jingru woke up in less than an hour. She is a hardworking person and usually doesn’t take a nap.

"Look, it's on the bike." Li Zhiguo pointed to the bicycle leaning against the tree trunk. A fish weighing more than three pounds was hung on the handlebars, and the small fish was also there. It was enough to eat, and any more would be a waste.

"Oh my, I really caught it."

Xiao Jingru clapped her hands and smiled sleepily.

"I'm still picking mushrooms. I'm really lucky today. That's enough. Let's put away the fishing rod."

Then he took Xiao Jingru back home. Maybe because he felt guilty, he didn't stop on the way and drove at full speed, and arrived at the courtyard in a short while.

"Hey, Li Zhiguo, you caught a big fish again."

Yan Bugui found that it was not a good thing for him to live in the front yard. He often saw Li Zhiguo getting his hair done and bringing good things home every day, but he didn't dare to take advantage of it.

"There are mushrooms here too. Where did you pick them?"

Yan Bugui came closer and saw that the mushrooms were still fresh. Why didn’t he have this luck?

"It's the same place. This is all I got after a day of fishing. I woke up in the afternoon and walked around the area and picked some mushrooms."

Li Zhiguo did not brag too much. He thought that he should go fishing less often in the future. There was no sense of accomplishment in just faking things.

The moat is no use. I'll ask tomorrow where there are some artificial fish ponds. Fish will take the bait quickly and I can catch them with every pull.

"I'll go after class tomorrow."

Yan Bugui had originally lost interest in fishing, but this gave him new motivation.

"By the way, Li Zhiguo, I heard from the hospital that Old Yi is going to take care of the old lady. Will it be announced at the hospital meeting tonight?"

Yan Buguigang is still thinking about this. This is unusual.

"There is such a thing. It seems to have been initiated by Mrs. Chen this morning. I went out for a walk and heard about it. We also talked about it for a while. We will talk about the details after the whole hospital meeting."

Li Zhiguo carefully chose his words so as not to give Yan Bugui the chance to exploit the loophole. Once he got the house, even if others figured it out, they would be unable to do anything to him.

As for face or something like that, it’s better not to have it!
"Okay, then go back and rest!"

Yan Bugui didn't ask any more questions. After the people left, he felt as if he understood it, but he didn't quite understand it.

Li Zhiguo wanted Lao Yi to take care of his wife in her old age. There must be something behind this.

Never mind, Lao Yi is a senior worker with a high salary, he can afford it.

"Li Zhiguo, you've caught another big fish."

Jia Dongxu was washing cabbage. When he saw people, he immediately rushed over.

"Lucky."

Li Zhiguo is really humble and lacks confidence. The situation is different from last time.

"This must be the fish that got away last time I went fishing. You caught it."

Jia Dongxu's eyes turned red, he was only one cent away from going fishing.

"Dongxu, stop trying to scam people and get back to work."

Li Zhiguo thought to himself, your nonsense is a bit too much, I didn’t catch any big fish.

"No, I'll stew the fish for you. Hey, there are mushrooms too. They'll be delicious if you stew them together in the fish soup."

Jia Dongxu didn’t get to eat fish last time, so today he insisted on eating it alone and refused to take it home.

"Forget it. Your cooking skills are not good enough. Don't waste my wild mushrooms. When Shazhu comes back, I will ask him to help in the kitchen."

Li Zhiguo pushed his bicycle away. What was he thinking? He wanted to take advantage of him with such little skill.

"It's time to hold a hospital-wide meeting."

"Every household should gather in the middle courtyard for a general meeting..."

Shortly after dinner time, shouting broke out in the yard.

Liu Haizhong ate an fried egg in one bite, put down his chopsticks and left. The meeting could not be without him, the second uncle.

Li Zhiguo also got up from his chair, turned off the radio, and said, "Huai Ru, stay home with Jing Ru, don't go to the meeting."

It's not that exaggerated for him to go shirtless, but it's not a good idea to let his wife get involved in the matter of the old lady's house.

He is the only bad guy in this family, bah, there are enough good guys.

"Yes! I'll ask Jingru to bring you a bench."

Qin Huairu didn't want to go either, as she had work to do.

"No need, I'm with Damao."

As soon as Li Zhiguo went out, he saw Xu Damao coming out with a stool, and he went up to him and embraced him.

"Da Mao, come on, sit with me."

"No, my wife is still behind."

Xu Damao was not very happy. He felt that he was outdone in everything following you.

Li Zhiguo shouted directly, "Chunyan, bring another bench. Damao and I will leave first."

"Okay, Brother Li."

Tang Chunyan reached the door, then turned around and went back to get a stool.

Xu Damao had a numb look on his face and could only think that this could attract attention, so it didn't count as being cheated.

When they arrived at the central courtyard, not everyone was there yet, so Xu Damao sneakily took a front row seat because he had to show his face.

"Hey, why are you sitting together?"

Sha Zhu just can't stand Xu Damao's character. Can't he just show people porn movies, as if he's superior to others?

"I am happy to do it, we are all brothers."

Xu Damao tilted his face and looked. He had the best relationship with Li Zhiguo. He was temporarily ranked second among the five brothers and was striving for the first place.

"Hey, you're beautiful!"

Sha Zhu was in a good mood at the moment. He had been to Li's house before to help stew fish and had chatted with Sister Qin for quite a while. But he was a little disappointed that Sister Qin didn't come this time.

"Hello, Brother Li."

Cai Quanwu and Sha Zhu sat on the same bench, while He Daqing sat next to them with Yu Shui. Did he want his daughter to listen to the story of old-age care as well?
"Okay, Lao Cai, let's go out for a drink some other day."

Li Zhiguo thought that Lao Cai's marriage partner would come next winter, but he didn't know if he could seize the opportunity.

He was also thinking about the large piece of Hetian jade in the tavern, which was a real treasure.

He Daqing yelled, "Just invite my brothers, why don't you invite me?"

"Uncle He, we can't do without you. Let's meet over at the overpass for a drink some other day."

Li Zhiguo thought that Lao He was very good to him, helping in the kitchen and celebrating his birthday, so he should not be left out.

When He Daqing heard him call him uncle, he kept silent. He thought he might get hurt by holding it in.

Jia Dongxu was sitting on a stool with his mother next to him. His wife was still using the sewing machine in the room and had not had time to come out.

He had been waiting for a while, but his brothers didn't even say hello to him. This was not acceptable.

"Li Zhiguo, why don't you sit next to me? I got two benches from my house."

Jia Dongxu took the initiative to extend the invitation, as he couldn't leave out his brother.

Before Li Zhiguo could speak, Xu Damao was unhappy, "Jia Dongxu, what do you mean? This is not a bench. My wife brought a bench with her."

"Xu Damao, what's wrong with me wanting to chat with Li Zhiguo? Do you mind?"

Jia Dongxu was no longer interested in showing the movie. He couldn't understand the book at all and thought that writing songs and inventing things would make money faster.

"You are stupid, little man."

Xu Damao kept muttering to himself and even took the initiative to invite Li Zhiguo. Doesn't he know that he is the biggest bad guy in the hospital?

"Okay, Dongxu, I'll come find you next time. I promised to go with Damao today."

Li Zhiguo ended the farce and sighed in his heart that this was the respect he deserved for doing so many good things.

By now almost everyone had arrived. Tang Chunyan put the bench next to Li Zhiguo and started talking, which made everyone in the yard look a little strange.

Chen Bihua also arrived from the opposite side and sat next to Jia Zhang. She looked at Li Zhiguo from a distance and smiled as a greeting.

"Ahem... everyone is here!

Today's conference is about the issue of elderly care. During the day today, we talked about elderly care in our hospital.

Inadvertently, the old lady's problem was mentioned. "

When Liu Haizhong said this, he glanced at the old lady sitting next to the middle-aged lady.

He also looked back at the expressionless Yi Zhonghai below, and then continued: "Someone has suggested that we just let Old Yi, the grandfather, take care of the old lady.

The first lady has already agreed to this, the old lady is also happy about it, and Li Zhiguo also agrees.
Now please give your opinions and see if this is feasible or not. I am in favor of it. "

Yan Bugui immediately responded, "I agree, this is a way to respect the elderly, and it is also a tradition in our hospital."

He thought that since Old Yi earned a lot of money and had no children, he could support an old lady and not become poor.
