[Chapter 275 Chapter 275 Playing rogue]
Looking at the clean room that Doctor Gu had tidied, and then at the children who were well-fed by him, Shen Yuyao couldn't help but feel moved.
She asked tentatively: "Uncle Gu, does your scrap yard have any vacant houses? Can the houses be rented out?"
Everyone was stunned by her words.
Cheng Liyan was the first to ask, "Who wants to rent a house?"
Doctor Gu didn't understand what Shen Yuyao meant either.
He thought for a moment and said, "There are two rooms left. But the house is very old. If you rent it, you have to clean it up, otherwise it will be uninhabitable. What's the matter? Who wants to rent it?"
When she heard that there was no suitable house, Shen Yuyao's eyes dimmed a little.
I also felt a little disappointed.
However, facing everyone's questioning, she still expressed her thoughts.
"My maternity leave is about to end, and these past few days Li Yan and I have been worrying about who will take care of Xiao Yi.
Li Yan said to hire an aunt to help, but I am a little worried about an outsider looking after the child alone."
"No."
Doctor Gu immediately said, "It's not okay to let an outsider take care of the child without someone watching over him at home."
Shen Yuyao pursed her lips and didn't respond.
But I still sighed silently in my heart.
Cheng Liyan also reacted now and understood what his wife meant.
My wife wants to rent a house in this yard and let my aunt and Xiaoyi stay here during the day.
With Dr. Gu and a group of children helping to look after the children, they can also play a supervisory role and there is no need to worry about the children's safety.
When he figured it out, he immediately smiled with joy.
He immediately said, "Uncle Gu, how about you take the trouble to help us keep an eye on it? If it's okay, I'll go talk to Old Wu about renting a house tomorrow."
Hearing that the couple was willing to entrust such an important matter to him, Doctor Gu was a little stunned at first, but at the same time, he felt an indescribable warmth in his heart.
In today's world, he has seen too many cold eyes, avoidance, and turning a blind eye.
Even if they are old colleagues or old friends, even if there is still affection between them, the most they can do is help me secretly, and I must keep my distance in public.
Doctor Gu understands this kind of self-preservation.
Who doesn’t have a family behind him?
But no matter how much you understand, being isolated, excluded, and despised like this will make you feel unhappy.
So it would be a lie to say I wasn’t touched by the closeness and trust between these two people.
Can……
He still didn't dare to agree immediately, but asked hesitantly: "Is this appropriate?"
"There's nothing inappropriate." Cheng Liyan said immediately.
“Our relationship has gone through a clear path, it’s a fact that you helped me heal my injury, right?
Not only me, but Chen Fei and Lao Yan are also relying on you to take care of their health. I heard that Lao Feng has also come recently?"
Doctor Gu waved his hand: "It's not a big deal."
Cheng Liyan said: "This may not be a big deal for you, but it is a huge deal for each of us and every family.
So Uncle Gu, don't think too much, just tell us whether you are willing to help us or not."
As he spoke, he grinned at Doctor Gu, with a scoundrelly tone in his voice.
It was just like a kid making demands on his elders and acting like a spoiled brat.
Seeing his look, Doctor Gu felt dazed, as if he had returned to his youth and was facing his biological father.
This memory made him feel uncomfortable again.
He waved his hand: "Whatever you want, you are not afraid, so what should I be afraid of as an old man?"
At this time, Chen Xing and Chen Bing, who had been listening to the whole conversation, could no longer hold back.
Seeing that they finally had a chance to talk, the two children said in unison: "Don't ask Auntie, we two will take care of Xiaoyi."
Seeing that all the adults were looking at them, Xiao Bing rushed to say, "My brother and I will take care of Xiao Yi. We know how to do it. We promise to take good care of Xiao Yi and make him fat!"
After all, Chen Xing is a few years older than his younger brother and much more stable.
He looked at Cheng Liyan and Shen Yuyao and said sincerely, "Uncle Cheng, Aunt Shen, Xiaobing and I can take good care of Xiaoyi. We watched Xiaowu and Xiaoliu grow up, and we know how to take care of children.
Don't bother looking for anyone. Even if you do, they won't guarantee your safety. Besides, the house over there is really not habitable. It will take a lot of work just to repair it.
If an outsider really brings Xiaoyi to live there, how do you think we will take care of him? It's not appropriate for him to stay there, but we can't rest assured if he doesn't go. It's better for us to take care of him."
He looked at Cheng Liyan and said, "Uncle Cheng, lend me your tricycle.
I took Xiao Bing to pick up Xiao Yi in the morning, and sent him to Auntie Chen for feeding at noon. We picked him up after feeding. When Auntie Chen got off work, we sent Xiao Yi home.
Don't worry, we can really take good care of the child."
The couple never expected that the two brothers would say such things.
The two couldn't help but look at each other, and both saw hesitation in each other's eyes.
They did not doubt the younger brother's words, but realized at the same time that they had overlooked something before.
That is - they may not care about Dr. Gu and the children's current identities, but the aunt they find may not necessarily not care.
If this is really the case, it would be awkward for both parties to get along with each other.
Doctor Gu spoke at this time.
He said, "Let them take you there first. If it's ok, let them take you there. I'll help watch over you. If it's not ok, find someone else."
The old man's words were the final word and the matter was decided.
Although schools have resumed classes now, we are still bullied because of our brotherhood.
Moreover, most of the schools at that time no longer taught anything.
Every day we organized them to read newspapers, learn about industry and agriculture, or simply organize the children to work on the wasteland reclaimed by the school.
Therefore, Chen Bing and Chen Xing did not go to school, and the brothers secretly studied with Dr. Gu at night.
In the past, when Xiaoliu had not recovered well, Chen Xing would go out to collect scrap and pick up coal cores to help the family solve some problems.
Later, Shen Yuyao and others would send food and daily necessities here from time to time under various pretexts. Especially after sending several good medicines in succession, Xiaoliu's illness was almost cured.
With two people earning wages in the family, life is no longer a problem.
Besides, it's too chaotic outside right now. As Chen Xing is only fourteen years old, Doctor Gu is afraid that something might happen to him if he lets him out, so he basically keeps him away from leaving the yard.
In this case, the two of them can really help take care of the children.
The brothers had plenty of time.
This decision really solved a big problem for the young couple.
Similarly, Shen Yuyao can almost get ready to go back to work.
