"Dongsheng, since you've found a job, I won't say anything. Let's continue drinking."
Yi Zhonghai understood that his plan had completely failed, and he felt a little upset. After observing for this period of time, he knew that Jia Dongsheng was definitely a perfect person, but unfortunately, he could not be his choice for retirement.
Seeing that Yi Zhonghai did not continue asking, Jia Dongsheng was relieved. If they continued asking, he would have to bring up the salary of a level 5 cook, but that would be a bit too high-profile, which was not what Jia Dongsheng wanted. He was a low-key person.
During the meal, except for Yi Zhonghai who failed to achieve his goal, everyone else enjoyed themselves, and Jia Dongsheng was a little drunk.
"Dongsheng, I've got some water for you, go wash your face."
As the others left, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu walked in. Seeing Jia Dongsheng's face flushed from drinking, Qin Huairu, who was well prepared, quickly spoke.
"Hey, thank you, sister-in-law."
Jia Dongsheng was not polite either. His face was hot after drinking, and washing it with cold water was indeed much more comfortable.
“There’s still so much food left?”
Jia Zhang began to clean up the dishes and saw that each dish was only about half eaten, which made her happy. After all, there was a lot left over and she could continue eating tomorrow.
Chicken stewed with mushrooms is a real delicacy that you don’t get to eat on a regular basis.
"Mom, we still have many good days to go."
Jia Dongsheng really wanted to complain about Jia Zhang's inexperienced look, but since she was his biological mother, he decided not to say anything.
"Even if there are many good days ahead, we can still eat chicken stewed with mushrooms every day."
Jia Zhang didn't take it seriously, muttered a few words, and continued to clean up.
After washing and wiping his face, Jia Dongsheng felt much clearer: "Mom, just now the uncle was trying to introduce me to a job."
"Introduction to a job?"
Jia Zhang twisted her lips and rolled her eyes: "Are you supposed to learn locksmithing?"
"Yo huh?"
Unexpectedly, Jia Zhang actually guessed it. Jia Dongsheng asked curiously, "Mom, how did you know? Were you eavesdropping on our conversation just now?"
"Get lost, you little bastard. Who's eavesdropping on your conversation?"
After slapping her son for teasing her without respect, Jia Zhang said angrily, "Why bother eavesdropping? Yi Zhonghai only has two plans: how to continue to be the eldest brother, and how to find someone to take care of them in their old age."
"The position of the first uncle will be selected again at the end of each year. Now is not the time. So I can only ask you to take care of them in their old age."
"As for how to support him in his old age, that's easy. We live in the same courtyard. If you learn locksmithing skills from him, you'll become his apprentice. Then, wouldn't it be natural for the apprentice to support the master?"
Jia Zhang's words really impressed Jia Dongsheng. He didn't expect that Jia Zhang's insight was so profound. But she didn't stop there. She continued, "If you learn skills but don't want to retire, we are all neighbors. If you do that, you will be criticized by your neighbors."
"Hiss, this Yi Zhonghai is really calculating."
Jia Dongsheng took a deep breath. He hadn't thought so much about it until he came to see it for himself.
Mainly in Jia Dongsheng's view, if you really worship a master and the master teaches you skills, then when you are old, it is natural to provide for the master in your old age.
For example, the old Chinese doctor has passed away. If he had not died, would Jia Dongsheng just ignore him just because he traveled through time? That is impossible.
After all, Jia Dongsheng inherited everything from the original body, including everything he learned, as well as his memories and emotions.
Although this emotion seems to be integrated, but also seems to be separated by a layer of barrier, this emotion does affect Jia Dongsheng all the time.
"Actually, Yi Zhonghai is a pretty good person. Although he has his own little thoughts, he is very nice to the neighbors in the compound. He is the first to help anyone who has problems. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sit so firmly in his position as a great uncle."
Jia Zhang was still talking, but at this time Jia Dongsheng was curious: "Mom, didn't the old couple think about adopting a child? After all, whether it's my brother or Sha Zhu, they are adults, and their thoughts are much more complicated than those of children."
"You know what, they actually adopted a child back then."
When talking about gossip, Jia Zhang became a little excited, and even Qin Huairu who was standing beside her listened with great interest. Normally, Jia Zhang never told him these things.
"You were still young at that time, and your brother knew about this."
Jia Zhang's eyes were somewhat deep, as if she was recalling the situation back then: "I forgot what year it was, but it seems that the Yi Zhonghai couple adopted a child from a relative's family on your aunt's side. It's safer not to adopt a relative's child."
"Who knows? They only adopted the child for two or three months, and then they missed him so much that they went to the orphanage to ask for him back."
"It seems that Yi Zhonghai adopted this child and gave the other party some money. The family was also struggling, so they agreed. But who would have known that this matter would cause such a big uproar back then. Not only our courtyard, but even the neighbors nearby knew about it."
"After that, the Yi Zhonghai couple must have given up on the idea and never mentioned adopting a child again."
After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Jia Dongsheng nodded, with an expression of understanding, and said calmly: "So that's the situation."
"Then they never thought of adopting an orphan without a father or a mother?"
"Hey, it's not that easy to adopt an orphan."
Jia Zhang waved her hand. "Unless they're orphans whose parents have just met with misfortune, they'll become wild after being left alone for a few months. Not only will they be aggressive and violent, but they'll also be very withdrawn and difficult to adopt."
"That's true."
Jia Dongsheng nodded, but still said: "But life is not easy nowadays. If you are willing, go to the street office and ask the people there for help. There should still be quite a few little ones who have just become orphans."
"When the time comes for the uncle and his family to adopt the child, it will be a good thing for them and the child as well. It's the best of both worlds!"
After saying this, Jia Dongsheng fell down on the kang. He was really a little tired and ready to rest.
But Jia Zhang's eyes kept flickering. She felt that what her son said made sense. If that were the case, it would indeed be a good thing for Yi Zhonghai and his wife and the child.
"If I go and talk to them, I can save a child's fate. Does that count as a good thing?"
Jia Zhang thought to herself, "This must be a good thing. It will definitely accumulate merit. No, I have to find time to talk to Auntie about this."
Jia Dongsheng didn't know that his casual words had been remembered by Jia Zhangshi, and she was ready to take action.
