Chapter 17: Yi Zhonghai wants to take Jia Dongsheng as his apprentice?



With Jia Zhang's boasting, everyone in the courtyard knew that Jia Dongsheng had bought the two rooms in the east wing.

When Sha Zhu came back, he looked a little stupid.

Although Jia Dongsheng is back, he has no job. The Jia family's life will not improve much with his return. After a long time, when life becomes difficult, Qin Huairu will definitely accept his help.

By then, he will still have a great chance because he is close to the water and will be the first to get the moon.

But after buying these two houses, the Jia family instantly became the family with the most houses in the courtyard and became the object of everyone's envy.

Since Jia Dongsheng has such a wealthy family, how could the Jia family not live a good life?

"What should I do then?"

Sitting in the house, listening to the noisy sounds outside, I can smell the aroma of scrambled eggs with tomatoes from time to time.

Sha Zhu knew that every household was having a hard time nowadays, yet they could still eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes at this time. In the entire central courtyard, there were only two families: the family of the eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai, and the Jia family who had just bought a house.

But Yi Zhonghai and his wife live a very frugal life and usually cannot bear to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, so the answer is obvious.

Seeing that the Jia family was becoming more and more prosperous, which meant that he was getting further and further away from Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu felt very uncomfortable.

But he had no choice but to stay awake all night long. Thinking about Qin Huairu's beautiful face, his heart ached. He just wanted to get close to Qin Huairu, so why was it so difficult?

Xu Damao, who also had other thoughts about Qin Huairu, was much more realistic.

The Jia family's life is getting better and better, which means that Qin Huairu is getting further and further away from him. In this case, a smart person knows how to make choices.

Jia Dongsheng is so capable and lives in the Central Courtyard. If we can get along well with Jia Dongsheng, wouldn't it be much easier to deal with Sha Zhu?

With this idea in mind, Xu Damao thought that he would bring back some good things next time he went to the countryside, so that he could build a relationship with Jia Dongsheng. After all, the two of them were not much different in age, and they could be considered childhood friends. After a few drinks, they would have a relationship.

Compared to these two people who have complicated thoughts, the thoughts of others are much simpler.

Liu Haizhong in the backyard didn't care at all. The two back rooms in his house were enough for the couple and their two sons to live in.

Ever since his eldest son got married and moved out, Liu Haizhong's temper has become worse and worse, and he has become even more displeased with his two sons.

It was as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction with his eldest son on his two younger sons, so every day, besides showing off his attitude as the second uncle, he would beat his sons.

The two brothers of the Liu family, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, always had bruises on their faces, no matter what happened. Outsiders were shocked when they saw it, and they had no time to take care of the affairs of the Intermediate Court.

Yan Fugui in the front yard had the simplest thoughts.

The more capable Jia Dongsheng is, the more he wants to have a good relationship with him. By then, when Jia Dongsheng's life gets better, he can take advantage of a little bit of his abilities.

As long as he could get an advantage, it would be a great joy for Yan Fugui. He did not ask for anything else in his life, but just wanted to get a little advantage.

As the saying goes, little by little, a lot can be achieved. No one understands this better than his teacher.

The one with the most complicated mind is Yi Zhonghai.

At this time, he was planning to examine Jia Dongsheng's character, personality, etc. to see if he was suitable as a candidate for elderly care.

He found that Jia Dongsheng's ability was a little too great, and he felt like he couldn't control it.

"What are you thinking about?"

If you want to say who knows you best, it must be the person next to you.

Yi Zhonghai was lost in thought there, and an old lady sitting quietly beside him asked.

"What do you think?" Yi Zhonghai responded softly.

“I don’t know whether to choose Jia Dongsheng for retirement?”

"Um."

Yi Zhonghai did not hide his thoughts from his wife: "From this purchase of a house, it can be seen that Jia Dongsheng, who Lao Jia mentioned before, went to study medicine, must have completed his studies, otherwise he would not have come up with so much money to buy a house."

"Four or five hundred yuan! Even if I wanted to spend that much, it would be painful enough."

"From this, we can see that Jia Dongsheng must be very capable. The Jia family's good days are not far away."

"But I can't help Jia Dongsheng, so how can I win him over and ask him to help us with our retirement?"

After hearing these words, a gleam of wisdom flashed in Auntie's eyes. Even though she couldn't have children and Yi Zhonghai wanted someone to take care of him in his old age, he still stayed with her. Could Auntie's tactics be simple?

"Who said you can't help Jia Dongsheng?"

Yi Zhonghai was stunned by the aunt's words, and he couldn't help but think in his heart, how could he help Jia Dongsheng?

"Haha, you are confused by the situation."

An old lady said with a smile, "It seems that Jia Dongsheng is a successful medical student. However, with so many hospitals nowadays, it won't be easy for him to use what he has learned to treat patients and save lives, and to make money."

This is absolutely correct. In the early days of the People's Republic of China, most of the medical treatment provided by the country was free. Large state-owned units such as steel mills even had workers' hospitals.

If he couldn't get a job in a hospital, it would not be easy for Jia Dongsheng to make money by treating patients.

"You want me to help Jia Dongsheng find a job?" Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up.

"That's right."

The auntie said confidently, "Jia Dongsheng has been away from home for so many years, he must have earned some money, but after buying a house, he has to support his family. No matter how rich his family is, it will eventually run out."

"If you have a job, you can't just spend more than you earn. Only when you have a balanced income can you live a prosperous life."

"And the job you found for him is equivalent to building a relationship. In the future, as long as we get to know each other a little bit, as long as Jia Dongsheng is not an ungrateful person, he will definitely provide for us in our old age."

"Even if he's an ungrateful person, I'll just treat it as a favor from you, since we still have Sha Zhu."

These words were like a revelation to Yi Zhonghai, making him suddenly realize the truth and even have deeper thoughts in his heart.

Finding a job is certainly a big favor, but people with ability are like gold buried in the sand, and they will shine sooner or later.

Such favors are not so reliable. If Jia Dongsheng can also become his apprentice and learn the locksmithing skills, with this master-apprentice relationship, the issue of retirement care will be more legitimate.

"Wait a moment."

Yi Zhonghai said softly, "Jia Dongsheng should still have some foundation. Let him consume it for a while. When it runs out, I will propose that he become my disciple and work as a fitter in the steel mill. Only in this way can we completely tie him down."

"Just keep an eye on him at home. If Jia Dongsheng starts looking for a job, you have to tell me in advance. Otherwise, if he finds a job, my money will be worthless."

"I see." Auntie nodded slightly. Anyway, Jia Zhang was chatting in the yard all day long, so it was not a big deal to keep an eye on this matter.
