Becoming a big boss in the courtyard starts with pork

The third aunt took out a small clay pot from the cupboard next to her and grabbed a handful of peanuts inside.

After placing the peanuts on the table in front of the third uncle, the third aunt took out an oil paper bag from the cabinet in the corner.

After peeling off the layers of tight packaging, the third aunt brought a half-drunk bottle of Xifeng wine in front of the third uncle.

When the third aunt put the wine cup for him, the third uncle poured the wine and said to the third aunt:

"It's time for tomorrow. Go see if you can get some pig head meat. It's not like eating peanuts and drinking wine every day!"

"Ah."

After hearing what the third uncle said, the third aunt just said yes and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that the third uncle had nothing else to do, the third aunt returned to the stove with the spatula and continued to stir-fry.

And eat pig head meat!

In our entire courtyard, except for Zhang Xing in the backyard, who can serve pig head meat as a meal in normal times?

The third aunt complained in her heart while recalling the past days of their family.

These three uncles don't drink Xifeng wine and eat peanuts on weekdays. Before, they had to finish a bottle of Erguotou and had to shake the bottle with cold water before taking another sip.

Not to mention the peanuts. In the past, I would eat them one by one. During the holidays, I could only eat a few more.

When Yan Jiecheng was a child, he secretly ate two peanuts from the third uncle. He was beaten up by the third uncle and then punished him with a meal without eating. The incident was over.

I didn't expect how long it had been. The third uncle had just drank Xifeng wine and eaten peanuts for a few days, and he started to dislike it.

This sudden change was really hard for the third aunt to accept.

I don't know whether it was because the stove that was set up later made it difficult to get out the fumes, or because of something else. The third aunt's eyes were red, and tears couldn't stop flowing from her eyes and down her face.

The third aunt felt extremely complicated, as if she had a huge grievance, but she couldn't express it.

Previously, the matter between the eldest man and the eldest mother made a big fuss in the courtyard.

These old neighbors, adhering to the idea of ​​"it would be better to demolish ten temples than ruin one marriage", tried their best to persuade the aunt to go back and live a good life with the uncle.

"Sister-in-law, if you don't have a job now, that means you have no income. If you really get divorced from his uncle, how will you live your life in the future?"

"Secondly, you don't have a place to live now. After all, you don't have any children, and the house was allocated from his uncle's factory."

Although with the big guy's persuasion, the first aunt returned to the first uncle's house, this incident gave the third aunt a great stimulation.

The third aunt carefully compared herself and the first aunt in her heart. It seemed that the only advantage she had over the first aunt was that she had given birth to several children for the old Yan family.

But does this mean that her wife will not abandon her?

In this alley, the third aunt heard all kinds of things about the parents of the Li family.

From what she heard, many old men like that were in their thirties or forties, or even in their fifties or sixties, and they divorced their wives and married people much younger than themselves.

They also euphemistically say that all previous marriages were arranged marriages, a backward culture left by feudalism, and now we want to engage in free love!

When the third aunt heard this, the disdain in her heart almost overflowed. Isn't this just a bunch of old and crooked people who despise the wretched wife and have their eyes on the young girl?

Originally, the third aunt did not have such worries, but as the family's financial conditions have gotten better and better in recent times, the third uncle's attitude towards her has become even worse.

This is why the third aunt asked the third uncle to find a job for him some time ago. The third aunt also wanted to have a job so that she could also have an income.

Relying on the third aunt's understanding of her husband, if she could not only clean up the house for him, but also make money for the family, he might be reluctant to abandon her.

After all, no matter how the matter is calculated, it is more cost-effective to stay at home.

The third aunt thought so, and she didn't know when her tears had dried up.

The job matter hasn't been settled yet, and her wife seems to have found some way to make a lot of money.

If her wife really made a lot of money, would she really abandon her as he said?

The third aunt looked down at the cabbage she had fried. She should be happy now that she can add a little more oil to the cooking at home.

Put the fried cabbage on the plate, and the third aunt brought the plate to the table with a smile on her face.

"Xie Cheng, get up and eat!"

The third aunt loudly greeted Yan Jiecheng in the back room to eat.

The third uncle just put the last peanut into his mouth, and poured himself another glass of wine with great satisfaction.

Yan Jiecheng rubbed his eyes, slowly walked out of the back room, and sat in front of the table.

Seeing that there was only a plate of fried cabbage on the table, he couldn't help but say:

"Mom, didn't I bring back meat?"

The third aunt smiled and said while taking off her apron:

"I fried this cabbage in lard. It's fragrant. You can try it."

"Mom, Jiefang and I are making more and more money with Brother Xing now. There is no need to be so frugal in the future."

"Besides, my employer and I have meat and vegetables to eat every day. The food cooked at home is mainly for you to eat, so you have to do it well."

In fact, Yan Jiecheng still feels sorry for his mother. After all, he and Yan Jiefang have seen everything his mother has done for the family since they were young.

This is one of the reasons why Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang agreed to take pork home as living expenses, because if they only took money, their father would be reluctant to spend it based on his nature.

In this case, their mother's food can at least be improved.

But after all, the third aunt is used to living a tight life, so every time she puts in more oil when cooking, she feels a little distressed.

After listening to Yan Jiecheng's words, the third uncle on the side showed a somewhat mocking smile, and then slowly said:

"There is nothing wrong with living frugally!"

"Our family is what it is today, all because of a little bit of frugality by me and your mother!"

As he said that, the third uncle reached for the wine glass, took a sip of wine, smacked his lips, and continued:

“Besides, why I’m so frugal now is because I don’t make enough money!”
