The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

When Li Yuan offered to help with fish meat, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Fish is also fine. In previous years, everyone had to cook fish during the Chinese New Year, which means there will be more than enough every year.

During the past two years during the Chinese New Year, it is rare to buy fish.

Everyone usually gets meat tickets, but they are reluctant to use them. They save up until the end of the year and plan to eat a big meat dumpling meal.

However, the daily supply of meat is too small now, and it will be gone if you go late.

It’s useless if you go early, the purchase limit is 2 taels per person.

The next day you wanted to go early, but found someone who was earlier than you.

Hey, when will days like this end! " Yan Fugui said with emotion.

"The country is in a difficult situation, with natural disasters, man-made disasters, and debt repayments. Everyone must be prepared for several years of hard times," Liu Haizhong continued.

"Okay, it's better than before. But there is no tomorrow, just live one more day and earn one more day. Just be content." Yi Zhonghai folded his hands and looked at the sky outside the hospital.

"What Lao Yi said is that we also have insufficient hearts. Although life is difficult now, we live happily," Yan Fugui said.

"You three gentlemen, are we talking about fishing?" Li Yuan had to interrupt.

"Yes, yes, I'm old, and I'm going off topic while talking," Yan Fugui said mockingly.

"Do you have channels?" Liu Haizhong asked curiously.

"There is it in Shichahai!"

The three of them originally wanted to know if Li Yuan had any good channels, but they didn't expect that Li Yuan actually came up with this idea.

"Motoko, you may not know that there are fishermen every day, and all the fish are caught, and there are quite a few from the Air Force every day.

Besides, fishing can’t meet the needs of the entire compound! ".

As a senior fishing friend, Yan Fugui explained.

"I know! But I still want to try."

Li Yuan thought of the scene of big nets pulling in fish in the Northeast winter, and thought about doing one too.

"Yuanzi, you can't joke," Yi Zhonghai said seriously.

"Motoko, since you swear so much, what should you do if you don't get enough fish?"

Liu Haizhong's old habit has returned, and he tries to squeeze people out whenever he gets the chance.

"Second uncle, what do you think should be done?"

"If you can't get enough fish, you have to be responsible for getting the corresponding fresh meat, whether it's pigs, cows, or sheep."

The middle part of my bangs was already excited, feeling that I finally had a handle on the Li family boy.

He had long forgotten the kindness of finding a job for his second son. Subconsciously, he felt that it was a fair trade.

Yi Zhonghai grabbed Yan Fugui who wanted to speak and smiled to see how Li Yuan fell into the trap.

"Uncles, I haven't cooked yet when I get back. You continue, I'm leaving first."

Yi Zhonghai's smile froze, and his bangs seemed to be punched on cotton, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

The three of them looked at each other with bitterness in their eyes and a hint of anger in their bangs.

Liu Haizhong raised his hand to call Li Yuan back, but when he woke up, he knew that he had made another joke today, so he remained silent for a long time without saying a word.

Yi Zhonghai immediately stabbed Yan Fugui.

Yan Fugui looked at the two of them angrily, and finally had no choice but to catch up with Li Yuan.

"Motoko, your second uncle is joking with you, don't take it to heart."

"Third uncle, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand." Li Yuan held the door frame with his hands and had no intention of letting Yan Fugui enter the house.

"Yuanzi, don't be angry. You don't understand Lao Liu's temper yet. He is just that kind of person and can only be normal for a few days."

At this time, Yi Zhonghai pulled Liu Haizhong over and wanted Liu Haizhong to apologize and settle the fish matter first.

Liu Haizhong was already worried about himself, but he was totally unwilling to apologize to a young boy.

As soon as I came over, I heard Yan Fugui's words, and I was unhappy at that time.

"I say Yan Fugui, what do you mean? If you want to curry favor with others, you can't belittle them."

"Old Liu, I didn't mean that, you..."

"Yes, Lao Liu, Lao Yan didn't mean that. Just stop stirring up trouble." Yi Zhonghai kept his attention on Li Yuan and didn't think twice when he spoke.

"Hey! I said Yi Zhonghai, why did I start trouble? I decided to eat meat for the Spring Festival for the neighbors of the compound, so I started trouble?!"

Yi Zhonghai, who realized that he had said something wrong, felt as if he had a head and two heads.

"Old Liu, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing, don't take it to heart. Don't we all want to do something good for the courtyard?"

Li Yuan was a little bored watching the three people fighting there, and closed the door.

The three of them immediately stopped talking and looked at each other in confusion. Yi Zhonghai felt aggrieved the most. Before the planned back-up plan came out, the boy from the Li family took action.

Helpless, Yi Zhonghai stabbed Yan Fugui again.

Yan Fugui didn't bother to look at the two of them and raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Uncles, I have a headache today and have already gone to bed. Let's talk tomorrow if we have anything to do." Li Yuan's tone was flat and he was far away.

The three of them looked at each other, turned around and returned to Yan Fugui's door.

"What should I do?" Liu Haizhong said listlessly.

"You, change your impatience!" Yi Zhonghai said to Liu Haizhong.

At this time, the Yan family door was opened, and the youngest Yan Jiedi came out, "Dad, it's time to eat."

"Okay, let's go home and we'll discuss it tomorrow morning." Yan Fugui walked towards the door.

The other two had no choice but to go home.

At around 10 a.m. the next day, Lu Xingyu returned to the factory with a truck.

“Comrades, in order to reward us for our contributions, our superiors have specially applied for some New Year’s goods for you.

Each person has 2 pounds of pork, 1 pound of eggs, and 5 pounds of flour."

As soon as he finished speaking, the workers who were summoned to the courtyard by various workshop directors suddenly burst into cheers.

In this season, nothing is more attractive than pork and eggs.

Without getting it, many people have already begun to figure out how to distribute it.

Most people think about how to make good use of these, such as visiting relatives, honoring elders, etc.

Today is the last day. When he got off work, Li Yuan came to the concierge.

"Uncle Song, come and spend this year with me. The house has been sorted out."

"I don't want to move anymore. Besides, someone has to keep an eye on the factory. I asked the little guys to go back."

"What are you talking about? I have to stay here, I can't go back to the ministry!"

“There’s no other way, I’m used to it, and they have to consider resettlement when we go back.

How great it is now, with two salaries, he would send something over every once in a while.”

Song Wang chuckled. There was no loneliness or sadness in his eyes, only satisfaction.

"Okay, I'll bring wine and meat over tomorrow night, and we'll celebrate the New Year together." Li Yuan put the New Year's goods for today in the concierge and hurried back to the compound by bicycle.

Song Wang was not polite. He carried these things into a large water tank used as a refrigerator and put the lid back on.

Returning to the compound, he was blocked by three uncles again.

"Motoko, the second uncle was wrong yesterday, and you understand me, so don't get angry with the second uncle."

Liu Haizhong's face turned red and he was pushed forward by the other two men. He spoke quite sincerely.

"Yuanzi, if you have the skills, please help everyone. Everyone in the courtyard is grateful for your kindness." Yi Zhonghai echoed.

"Yuanzi, it's not easy for everyone, please help," Yan Fugui said.

"Okay, I'm going to buy a net, and I'll ask the young man in the courtyard to come with me to Shichahai tomorrow. By the way, you have to reimburse the money for the fishing net."
