"that...."
Sha Zhu stammered, "Well, I didn't bring any money, and they didn't let me fight."
After saying that, Sha Zhu looked at Yi Zhonghai next to him and asked, "Uncle, you have money, lend me 2 cents."
Yi Zhonghai was a little helpless. He didn't know when this idiot Zhu would be able to do things more reliably.
Although he thought so in his heart, he still smiled and gave Sha Zhu ten cents.
"Okay, I'll go fight now."
After Sha Zhu got the money, he ran to the boiler room in the backyard with the thermos.
"Give."
Sha Zhu was rich this time, and he confidently threw the money to the old man selling water.
"I don't have change. I can't make the change."
The old man selling water said with disdain.
"What?"
Shazhu was confused this time.
"Then just keep a record of it first, and then make me a few more pots later," said Sha Zhu.
“I can’t remember.”
The old man said lightly.
"..."
Shazhu was completely speechless this time. How could you play tricks on me like this?
"Uncle, are you deliberately making things difficult for me? You clearly have change to give me, so why do you have to say you don't have it?" Sha Zhu couldn't help himself this time.
"If I say no, then no, if you don't want to buy it, get out."
Sha Zhu is arrogant, and the old man selling water is even more arrogant than him.
“No, I…”
Sha Zhu finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go back and get the money."
Sha Zhu ran back to the ward carrying the thermos.
When the aunt saw Sha Zhu, she thought that Sha Zhu had brought the water back, and said with a smile: "Zhu Zi, you are quite fast. Come, give it to me, and let Huai Ru hang it first."
Sha Zhu's face turned red, he took out a dime and handed it to Yi Zhonghai, and continued to say to Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle, this dime is for you, you just need to give me two cents, the water seller can't make the change."
This time it was Yi Zhonghai's turn to be speechless. He had to make two trips just for this small matter.
There was no choice, Yi Zhonghai took the ten cents back, took out the money from his pocket, found two cents and handed it to Sha Zhu.
After Sha Zhu received the money, he ran away immediately.
“Hoo…Hoo…”
After running two or three times, Sha Zhu was already exhausted and out of breath.
"Here, that's enough for now."
Sha Zhu gave the two cents in his hand to the old man selling water and said.
"vomit!"
The old man selling water deliberately spat and counted the two cents.
"Go ahead." The old man selling water said lightly.
This time, Shazhu can finally go get some water. He didn't expect that it would take so much effort to just buy some water.
This time, when Sha Zhu returned to the ward with the thermos, he took the initiative to say, "Auntie, I've got the water. Please pour it for Sister Qin."
"Oh, sure, give it to me."
This time, the aunt finally took the thermos from Shazhu.
At this time, Qin Huairu was wrapping the baby and preparing to breastfeed him.
"Auntie..."
Although it was not a big deal for women to breastfeed in public at that time, Qin Huairu still felt a little embarrassed to breastfeed in front of Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu.
When the aunt heard what Qin Huairu said, she understood what Qin Huairu meant.
"Zhu Zi, go out with your uncle for a while."
Sha Zhu was a little confused after hearing what he said, and finally Yi Zhonghai pulled Sha Zhu out of the ward.
"Uncle, what are you doing?" asked Sha Zhu.
Yi Zhonghai was almost laughing out of anger and said, "What are you talking about? She's nursing her baby, why are you staying in the room?"
"Oh, so that's what happened." Sha Zhu finally understood what was going on.
But Shazhu couldn't help but look into the house.
It was as if Yi Zhonghai didn't see what Sha Zhu did and turned a blind eye to Sha Zhu's little actions.
When Qin Huairu put the child back on the bed and put down her clothes.
Sha Zhu immediately turned around and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle, we are done, let's go into the house."
Yi Zhonghai felt like he was screwed at this moment. You didn't allow you to watch it in the house, so you just peeked through the crack of the door, right? You thought I didn't see it, but you were drooling.
But he couldn't say these words out loud. Yi Zhonghai nodded silently and followed Sha Zhu into the ward.
"It's noon now, Huairu should eat something, right?" Yi Zhonghai asked the aunt as if nothing had happened just now.
"Of course, go buy some food for Huairu. The hospital should give meal tickets to hospitalized patients here." The aunt looked at Shazhu while speaking.
Sha Zhu spread his hands helplessly and said, "I did give it to you, but my aunt took it all away."
Now everyone in the room fell silent. Qin Huairu could only smile bitterly and said nothing. It was her own fault for giving birth to another girl. If it was a boy, she would not have been treated like this.
"It's okay, Auntie. I'll go home and cook for Sister Qin. The food in this hospital can be as delicious as what I cook." Sha Zhu said confidently.
Hearing this, Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu with tears in her eyes and said, "Zhu Zi, thank you."
Sha Zhu suddenly felt that everything he had done was worth it.
"Lao Yi, then you and Zhuzi go back. I'll stay here to help look after Huairu and the child." said the aunt.
"Okay, that's fine too." Yi Zhonghai nodded.
"Auntie, I'll go home and cook more, and then I can just bring two meals with me." Sha Zhu said.
"No need, just bring the meal over later and I'll eat at home." The aunt declined.
Sha Zhu said hurriedly: "How can that be possible? I will bring it to you when the time comes. It's very tiring to serve others."
The aunt couldn't persuade Sha Zhu and could only nod silently.
Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu returned to the compound.
Yan Fugui had nothing to do, so he just stayed here and saw Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu coming back.
Yan Fugui came forward and said, "Old Yi, what's going on?"
Yi Zhonghai pretended to be confused and asked, "What happened?"
"I say, how are Qin Huairu and the child?" Yan Fugui said to Yi Zhonghai while sucking his teeth.
Yi Zhonghai pretended to be enlightened and replied, "Everything is fine. My wife is there to take care of us."
Sha Zhu was too lazy to get involved in their gossip. In Sha Zhu's mind, having a meal with his sister Qin was more important, so he went straight home.
"Oh, is Mrs. Jia Zhang very unhappy?" Yan Fugui asked.
Yi Zhonghai smiled bitterly and said, "How could she be satisfied? She was looking forward to having another grandson every day, but in the end, a girl came."
After saying that, Yi Zhonghai changed the subject: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm a little tired this morning. I'll go back first."
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai didn't want to chat with him anymore, Yan Fugui had no choice but to exchange a few words of greeting and let Yi Zhonghai leave.
But when Sha Zhu returned to prepare to cook for Qin Huairu and the aunt, he ran into trouble again.
All his money was cheated away by Wang Jiao, and he donated grain to the Jia family twice. He and his sister had just spent another New Year together. Now the family was completely out of food and this month's salary had not been paid yet.
