Chapter 6: Lonely, Cold, and Unable to Sleep (Major Change)
The crowd who were about to leave then stopped.

Yi Zhonghai saw Lin Hao calling everyone to stop, and asked in confusion: "What's the matter, Haozi, do you have anything else to do?"

Lin Hao quickly bowed to everyone and said:
"That's what's going on! I'm 22 years old this year, my parents passed away early, and there's no one at home to take care of my personal problems."

"While everyone is here, I would like to ask the uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters in the yard to help me find a suitable girl and help me match her up."

"Everyone knows my situation. Please help me. If it works, I will not let you down."

As soon as Lin Hao finished speaking, people around him started teasing him.

"Haha, Haozi wants to find a wife."

"It's so cold, the quilt can't even keep warm!"

"Of course! We talked about finding a wife at the conference."

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said, "Okay! Everyone, see if anyone has a suitable girl and introduce her to Haozi. This girl is a good person."

"Oh~ By the way, you're going to take the test soon!"

"Yes, I will be at level one after the assessment next week." Lin Hao replied
"Everyone has heard it, right? Once you become a regular employee, you can get 33 yuan. After you are officially graded next year, you can get 38.6 yuan as a second-level employee. Such good conditions are hard to find even with a lantern."

Everyone was talking about it, "Time flies so fast! The three-year apprenticeship is almost over. As long as he passes the assessment, Lin Hao will be able to make it!"

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes, thinking that Lin Hao was alone and usually quite frugal, so he probably saved a lot of money, so he said, "Okay, I'll also think about whether there is a suitable one in our school."

"Okay, okay, thank you everyone! Thank you, thank you!" With that, everyone dispersed.

Lin Hao returned home and looked at the deserted room. He had no idea how his original body had survived all these years.

"Hiss~ Why is it so cold? It hasn't been warm for a long time. It seems that this stove should be replaced."

Just when Lin Hao was feeling lonely and cold at home, when Sha Zhu was carrying chicken soup home, he saw Qin Huairu following him in.

"Thank you, you almost got blamed!" Qin Huairu said with tears of gratitude.

"Hey, it's okay, if not~!" Sha Zhu didn't dare to continue talking. He didn't want people to know that he had withheld the factory director's ingredients.

"Zhu Zi, please do me a favor!" Qin Huairu subconsciously looked at the chicken soup in Sha Zhu's hand.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu subconsciously hid back with the chicken soup in his hand and said:

"Sister, this is really not okay. I used the chicken soup to nourish Yu Shui. Your three children ate the whole chicken, so don't try to take my chicken soup!"

"Is this the kind of person I am in your heart? I haven't even told you what it is yet!" Tears began to well up in her eyes as she spoke. Her pretty and pitiful look immediately softened Sha Zhu's heart.

"Sister, look at you crying, I, well!" Sha Zhu was at a loss when he saw this, and didn't know what to do for a moment, so he gritted his teeth and said:

"Sister, don't worry. I was wrong. I misunderstood you. Tell me what's going on. I promise to handle it properly!"

Qin Huairu heard this, and her tears stopped immediately. She then said:

"I went back and asked Bang Geng, and he really didn't steal the chicken. He found it at the gate!"

"That won't work. Xu Damao doesn't care whether you stole it or not. Anyway, his chickens are gone!"

"So I want to borrow two dollars from you. I'll go buy a chicken and ask an old man to help me pay it back!"

Looking at Qin Huairu's pitiful look, Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay then, if Banggeng really gets labeled a chicken thief, his life will be over!" As he said that, he took out two dollars and handed them to Qin Huairu.

After Qin Huairu took the money, she said with a smile:
"Silly, you're so nice!"

When Sha Zhu was praised by Qin Huairu, he was so happy that he didn't know what to do. Qin Huairu said pitifully:

"Ah~! It's my fault as a mother that I failed to take good care of these three children, but life is really getting unbearable these days."

"Not to mention the children, even Grandma Banggeng and I haven't seen meat for several days. Otherwise, the children wouldn't be able to~!" Qin Huairu said as she looked at the chicken in the pot with tears in her eyes.

"Sister, don't be anxious!" Sha Zhu was scratching his head. The child had eaten the chicken, but Sister Qin hadn't. Otherwise, Sha Zhu gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, saying:
"Sister, take a few pieces of chicken and chicken soup from your bowl and take it back to enjoy as a snack!"

"Zhuzi, you are such a nice person. I will introduce you to a wife when there is a chance!" He said, ignoring the cheerful Shazhu, and walked home with the pot in his hand.
Seeing this, Sha Zhu said anxiously: "Sister, please leave some for me. This chicken soup is for Yu Shui to nourish his body."

"I know!" Qin Huairu's voice came from outside the door.

"Well, now it's all gone!"

When Lin Hao was fiddling with the stove in the room, he saw Qin Huairu coming out of Sha Zhu's house, carrying the chicken soup and the pot back with her.

Lin Hao was suddenly confused. Didn’t you say that this chicken soup was for He Yushui to nourish his body?

Silly Zhu, I really overestimated you!

At this moment, don't mention how bad Lin Hao felt. This kind of kindness is fed to the dog, which is probably how it feels. This silly Zhu is really a fool, no wonder those comments don't like him!

But what should I do next? I am not from this world. It is very difficult to change the fate of these people, especially those who have been poisoned by the widow.

You know, the two most difficult things in the world are to put your own thoughts into other people's minds and to put other people's money into your own pocket.

It seems that the plan we considered before is not feasible, and we have to think of other ways to solve this problem.

Not long after, He Yushui rode home on his bike. As soon as he entered Sha Zhu's house, he asked without even putting his bag away:
"Brother, as soon as I walked in, I heard Xu Damao accuse you of stealing his chicken!"

Sha Zhu said: "Not only did they wrongly accuse me, they almost sent me to jail."

"Tell me what happened exactly!" He Yushui asked puzzledly.

"I just wanted to make you some chicken soup to nourish your body, so I'll treat you as the factory director..."

After listening to his silly brother, He Yushui looked at the half-pot of "chicken soup". He saw oil spots floating on the clear chicken soup. He was stunned for a moment and said involuntarily:

"Sister Qin is so nice. She even left me half a pot of chicken soup!"

Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu said happily, "That's right, she was originally going to take them all away, but she knew that they were specially for your health, so she left so much for you!"

He Yushui, who had not had much expectation in the first place, didn't hesitate and picked up the cornmeal steamed bread and ate it with chicken soup. She was a person who knew what was good for her.

During these three years, she fully realized how precious food was, so she would not waste the chicken soup at all. After all, she had some meat.

Looking at He Yushui drinking the chicken soup in big gulps, Sha Zhu felt very proud. Fortunately, he was smart. He added half a bucket of water and some seasonings to the half bowl of chicken soup that Sister Qin brought back and stewed it again.

Otherwise, my sister wouldn't even be able to drink chicken soup. Thinking of my sister's marriage, I asked again:
"By the way, what happened to you?"

"It's settled. We'll get married during the Spring Festival." He Yushui said with a smile when talking about his marriage.

Sha Zhu: Okay, that's great. It's the Spring Festival. I'll quickly marry this police officer. That will be a reward for my mother's spirit in heaven.

Then, Sha Zhu thought that Lin Hao was interested in his sister, so his face straightened:
"Oh, by the way, stay away from Lin Hao!"

He Yushui smiled and said, "What's the matter? Did he offend you?"

"No, this guy might be targeting you, so you better be careful."

"It's okay. I'm already engaged. What can he do? Besides, I won't consider people from our courtyard." He Yushui's heart was slightly rippled, but his face was unusually calm.

In fact, He Yushui and Lin Hao are childhood sweethearts, and they are suitable for each other in all aspects. The only difference is that Lin Hao lives in this yard, so they are destined to have no chance to be together in this life.

"Okay, let's go back to the house after eating. It's very cold today."

Just as Lin Hao's room was warming up and he was about to go to bed, he heard a noise in the yard. He looked out the window and found Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai were talking.

Lin Hao's room was right next to Yi Zhonghai, so he could just hear their conversation.

Qin Huairu put the stick at the door and told the story of picking up the chicken, then she shed tears again:

"Uncle, this is what happened. I really have no choice. We really can't afford to eat at home. Otherwise, Banggeng wouldn't have taken his two sisters out to find food."

"I really can't take out two dollars. What do you think I should do?" As he spoke, tears began to fall.

Yi Zhonghai was helpless. He had originally wanted Sha Zhu to take care of him in his old age, and then let Bang Geng take care of Sha Zhu in the future. By then, under his own arrangements, maybe four generations could live under the same roof.

Seeing that Qin Huairu was still crying, he quickly said:

Huairu, don't worry about the chicken issue. I will help you solve this problem. But you have to take good care of Banggeng when you go back. Don't let him go astray.

Qin Huairu said gratefully upon hearing this:
"Uncle, thank you. I really don't know how to thank you. There's nothing to eat at home. I, I!"

"Hey! I know your family is in financial difficulty. I have half a bag of corn flour here. You can take it back!" Yi Zhonghai said as he went back to the room and handed the half bag of corn flour to Qin Huairu.

"Thank you, uncle. You are truly a great man in our hospital, the pillar of stability!"

Then he took the corn noodles home and said, "Why is it corn noodles? Next time, ask for Fuqiang flour..."

"It's good to have it. If you dislike it, don't eat it~~~!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Hao watched Qin Huairu go home in amazement.

"Niu Bi and Qin Huairu, this trip brought them a chicken, two dollars, and half a pot of chicken soup!"

This little widow, you really can't underestimate her! I'm afraid I'll have to be more careful when dealing with her in the future.

　New Shuhang, please support me in all ways.
