Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 117 Yi Zhonghai is gone

When Li Ping'an returned home, Yu Li and Lou Xiao'e were very happy to see him.

Even Li Haoran and Li Haoyu staggered over when they saw Li Ping'an and hugged Li Ping'an's legs, shouting, "Dad, Dad!"

This almost melted Li Ping'an's heart.

He quickly squatted down, picked up his two sons, one in each hand, and kissed each of them on the face.

This caused the two of them to giggle.

Yu Li looked at this heartwarming scene and said, "Hurry up and wash and change your clothes. You were away these few days, and they kept looking for their dad. It annoyed me so much."

Li Pingan smiled and said, "My son is the best. He knows he misses his dad. Unlike some people, I can't tell they miss me at all."

Yu Li was so angry that she rolled her eyes at Li Pingan and took the child from his arms.

Lou Xiao'e was also watching from behind, and Li Ping'an took the opportunity to wink at her.

This made Lou Xiao'e blush and she turned around and left.

Li Pingan looked at the two women in confusion. Didn't they miss him anymore?

While he was taking a shower, Yu Li went to cook. He knew that Li Ping'an probably hadn't had a good meal in the mountains these days, so he quickly prepared something delicious for him.

Lou Xiao'e looked at the four children, and when they went back to the house, she secretly ran to the bathroom, which scared Li Ping'an. Yu Li was still cooking next door, this woman was too bold.

Lou Xiao'e whispered, "Someone is looking after the child. Yu Li will be gone for a while. I miss you!"

Just these words made Li Ping'an's blood boil.

He used his spiritual sense to look around and saw that Xu Damao's mother was in the house looking after the four children, and Yu Li was busy cooking.

So he didn't hesitate and just picked up Lou Xiao'e.

Since the pregnancy, the two of them have not had much sex, and they haven't been intimate for a long time. This time it was like dry wood meeting a raging fire.

Because they were afraid of being noticed by others, they stopped in less than an hour. Li Ping'an also used his spiritual sense to pay attention to the people outside while dealing with Lou Xiao'e.

After finishing, Lou Xiao'e ran away quickly with a red face. Li Ping'an continued to wash.

Lou Xiao'e ran into the house. Xu Damao's mother saw her red face and asked, "Xiao'e, what's wrong with you? Are you catching a cold?"

Lou Xiao'e said in a panic: "It's nothing, I was just helping Yu Li light the fire in the kitchen and got burned."

After hearing this, Xu Damao's mother didn't think much about it. No one could have thought that the two of them were so bold that they could get together at home.

Li Pingan took a shower and changed his clothes. After entering the room, he hugged Haoyang and Haoyue.

The two little ones now only know how to eat and sleep, sleep and eat. They are fat and white, like two little piglets.

After a while, Yu Li came with the food, and several people started eating with Li Pingan.

After a warm lunch, Li Pingan was sent by Yu Li to sleep and rest.

Several women also took their children outside to play. Although it is winter now, the sun is still warm at noon. It is especially suitable for children to play outside.

After dinner, when both children were asleep, Li Pingan hugged Yu Li and told her about his longing for her. This made Yu Li, who had not seen Li Pingan for more than a week, completely relax.

The next day, the steel mill really provided everyone with extra meals at noon.

Cabbage stewed with meat, although there is little meat and vegetables, the broth is especially delicious when eaten with steamed bread.

Now the enthusiasm of the workers in the factory was high again. Everyone was full of energy.

Director Yang and other leaders also breathed a sigh of relief. This year has been a difficult one.

Li Pingan also returned to his regular work and commuting life.

After work that day, Li Ping'an just drove his car into the yard when he heard noisy noises coming from the central courtyard.

He drove the car into the yard and Yu Li came over.

"Ping An, just after noon today, Yi Zhonghai from the Central Court passed away. I heard his wife came back this afternoon and was crying loudly. Do you think we should go and help?"

Yu Li knew that her family and Yi Zhonghai's family used to be at odds with each other, but since Yi Zhonghai became paralyzed, the two families had basically stopped communicating.

This time Yi Zhonghai was gone, and everyone in the courtyard would go to help. She didn't know if Li Ping'an would go? So everyone else went in the afternoon, even Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao's mother went with their children, but she didn't go.

Just wait for Li Ping'an to come back and see his attitude.

Li Pingan thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. You stay home and take care of the kids. I'll go over and see what's going on."

When Yu Li heard that Li Ping'an had gone, she stopped caring. She listened to Li Ping'an on all the important matters at home.

After comforting Yu Li and the child, Li Pingan went to the central courtyard leisurely.

Since Yi Zhonghai was paralyzed by him, he has been lying at home. During the day, the deaf old lady and Yi Xingwang take care of him, and at night, his wife comes back and he takes care of him himself.

Now Yi Xingwang has gone to school, and the deaf old lady is the only one who looks after him during the day. Yi Zhonghai has survived until now, which means they have taken good care of him.

When Li Ping'an arrived at the middle courtyard, he saw Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui directing everyone to do this and that. They looked very busy.

Li Pingan looked around and didn't see much. Even He Daqing and Sha Zhu were not there to help, so he turned around and left.

When I got home, Yu Li was already cooking.

Li Pingan helped take care of the two children.

Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao's mother didn't come today. I guess they ate at home.

The two were having dinner when someone knocked on the door.

Li Ping'an went out and opened the door, and saw that it was Liu Guangtian.

When Liu Guangtian saw Li Pingan, he quickly said, "Brother Pingan, my dad said that we will go to the Intermediate Court for a meeting after dinner."

This is probably about discussing Yi Zhonghai's funeral arrangements.

Li Pingan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

After Liu Guangtian notified Li Pingan, he hurried to notify the next family.

When she got home, Yu Li asked, "Who is it?"

"Liu Guangtian in the backyard."

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"Nothing. Liu Haizhong is going to hold a general meeting tonight. Ask him to notify everyone."

Yu Li asked in confusion: "It's been a long time since we held a general meeting of the whole institute. What is the purpose of this meeting?"

"What else can we do? Isn't it just arranging Yi Zhonghai's funeral? It has nothing to do with us. I'll go check it out later. You stay at home and look after the children."

"Okay, then go ahead."

Yu Li didn't say much when she saw this. She just needed to take care of the family. Her husband would take care of the outside affairs.

After dinner, Li Pingan strolled to the central courtyard.

When he arrived, many people had already come to the Central Courtyard, and everyone was gathered together chatting in low voices.

When Sha Zhu saw Li Ping'an coming, he waved to him.

Seeing this, Li Ping'an walked over to Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu handed Li Pingan a cigarette and said, "Pingan, that old man Yi Zhonghai is gone, are you going to help?"

Li Pingan looked at Sha Zhu and said, "Something's wrong with you. Haven't you always been an uncle? How come you've become an old man now?"

After hearing this, Sha Zhu said angrily, "He is nothing. If my father hadn't come back, I would still be kept in the dark. If he hadn't been paralyzed, I would have beaten him so badly that he couldn't take care of himself!"

Li Pingan smiled and said, "Yes, it seems that you have come to your senses after your father came back. I have said it before, Yi Zhonghai is a hypocrite. Our two families have been quarreling for a long time and we don't even talk to each other. Do you think I can go and help?"

Sha Zhu nodded and said, "That's right, I don't plan to help. Let's just watch the fun."

As the two were talking, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui came to the broken table in the middle.

Xu Damao is not here today, otherwise there would be three uncles.

And given Xu Damao's personality of liking to be in the spotlight, if he were there, he would have jumped out to show off a long time ago.

Liu Haizhong saw that most people had arrived, so he said, "I called everyone here today because I think everyone knows the reason. Yi Zhonghai passed away this afternoon."

"He used to be a great man in our courtyard and helped many families in the courtyard. Now that he has passed away, everyone should give him a good send-off."

"The conditions are tough right now, so we won't hold a big one. Anyone who has time tonight can go and say goodbye to him. Tomorrow we will all send him out of the city for burial."

Seeing that no one spoke below, Liu Haizhong was still very satisfied with his prestige.

He went on to say, "Tomorrow all the young people in our hospital will go there. Let's go together to help. Burying Old Yi early will also give peace of mind to his family."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he shouted in a very unfilial manner: "I can't go. There will be a reception at the factory tomorrow. I have to go cook!"

Liu Haizhong didn't expect Sha Zhu to be the first to refute him, and he shouted angrily: "No, everyone else in our compound is going, why don't you go?"

Sha Zhu said proudly, "Okay, Liu Haizhong, if Director Yang and his team can't entertain the guests tomorrow, you can explain to them then."

This made Liu Haizhong a little angry. How could he explain to Director Yang? Could it be that he didn't let Sha Zhu go in order to see Yi Zhonghai off? Director Yang would kill him alive.

So he said angrily, "Okay, things at the factory are more important, you don't have to go."

Seeing that Liu Haizhong had given in, Sha Zhu snorted triumphantly.

At this time, Li Pingan also said: "Tomorrow the factory leader will come, I have to attend a meeting, I don't have time to go."

Liu Haizhong had just been irritated by Sha Zhu, and now he saw that Li Pingan had another reason not to go. He immediately said angrily: "Why don't we have a meeting at any other time in the factory? Why do we have to have it tomorrow? Don't even think of finding an excuse to shirk your responsibility!"

Li Pingan took a puff of his cigarette and said calmly, "Okay, I'll drive to Director Yang and his team and ask them to postpone the meeting for a few days. Just say it was arranged by you, Uncle Liu from Liu Haizhong, okay?"

Li Pingan's words made everyone laugh. If you, Liu Haizhong, had such great abilities, could you still be a big boss in the courtyard?

Liu Haizhong was also choked by Li Pingan. Can he be said to have done this? Where did he get such a big face?

So he said angrily: "Okay, Li Ping'an also has something to do and can't go. Who else has something to do?"

Now everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke.

The main reason is that other companies don't have any major conflicts with Yi Zhonghai. No one cares.

At this time, the second uncle Yan Bugui stepped out to smooth things over, "Since Ping An and Zhu Zi are both busy, there is really nothing we can do. But even if they don't want to go, they can give some money to show their appreciation."

Liu Haizhong felt that Yan Bugui was right, so he said to Li Pingan and Sha Zhu: "Although you two are busy, you still have to pay some money!"

Li Pingan sneered, "Why should I pay? Yi Zhonghai used to target my family everywhere. Now that he is dead, he still wants me to pay? No way!"

Sha Zhu also echoed: "That's right, I won't go out either!"

Liu Haizhong was furious, but he could do nothing about it. At this time, Yan Bugui came out and said, "Come on, stop arguing! I'm just talking. Since Ping An and Sha Zhu don't want to go, forget it. Those who are willing to go should gather in the yard tomorrow morning." After that, he waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse.
