Siheyuan: I am the Smart Pillar

Xu Damao's eyes popped out, and he smiled and said, "Oh, what's wrong? Uncle, the sun didn't rise from the west today. Why did you change your temper? Usually, Zhuzi and I treat you to drinks, but you use Erguotou mixed with water to deal with us brothers. How come you can bring a fish today? The fish can't be only one finger long?"

Xu Damao stared at Yan Fugui, as if he wanted to see through him. Yan Fugui's old face flushed, but then he returned to normal and said, "Hey, Xu Damao, you are using me to beat your uncle, right? Isn't my family relatively poor? If I had such a high monthly income like your two families, I would definitely be very generous. Don't worry, the fish must be less than a pound."

He Yuzhu nodded. He knew the principle of gratitude and resentment. It was impossible to let Yan Fugui enjoy for nothing. Naturally, he had to give something. He nodded to Yan Fugui and said, "Okay, since you said so, I naturally agree. Bring me back the half pound of fish you have, and I will make you a fish soup."

Yan Fugui nodded with a smile and walked towards the jar at the door of his house. The big jar in the north is a natural refrigerator. Every winter, everyone puts the leftover food in the big jar at the door. The temperature in 49 City is quite low in winter, which is just right for freezing food.

Jia Dongxu slowly helped his mother up. Jia Zhang was quite angry when she saw her son. Jia Dongxu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Mom, can you please stop causing trouble? If you cause trouble again, I will definitely be beaten to death by He Yuzhu."

Hearing her son's words, Jia Zhang couldn't help but spit out blood. She pointed at her son's nose and trembled. What did she want to say? The words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say anything. In the end, she just sighed. She didn't know who her son took after. He didn't even have the courage of a man.

He couldn't bear to scold him, so he could only frown and say in a cold tone, "Today is New Year's Day, and we have to celebrate the festival well at home. You should find a way to get some meat to eat, at least you have to have some meat. Go find Yi Zhonghai, get some meat tickets from your master, and then go buy some meat before the supply and marketing cooperative closes."

Jia Dongxu looked unhappy. He looked at his mother and said, "Mom, it's a big festival. Don't we have meat coupons? And I give you most of my monthly salary. Do you want to spend some money? Then we can buy some meat with our own money."

Jia Zhang's face was dark, and she cursed her son fiercely, "Hey, you little beast. How dare you take my pension money? Do you want to die? I raised you with all my hard work, and now you have grown up and want to disobey me. You, you beast."

Jia Dongxu's face was filled with black lines. He smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, how dare I? Besides, it seems that our family hasn't used up this month's meat coupons yet. There are only three or two meat coupons a month. I remember that we haven't used up last month's meat coupons yet..."

Jia Zhang's face was dark as she grabbed Jia Dongxu's ear and said, "Do you have a pig's brain? Don't you know that pork tastes better when it's free? Your master is now a level seven fitter, and his monthly meat ration is more than two kilograms. Can the couple spend so much? Our family is doing a good deed, so you should go quickly. That old bastard Yi Zhonghai wants you to support him in his old age, and he will definitely spend money on you."

Xu Erni also looked at Jia Dongxu expectantly. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time, except for the one time when she got married. Jia Dongxu sighed and walked towards Yi Zhonghai's house with heavy steps. Yi Zhonghai's face was now as gloomy as water, and he sat on the kang without saying a word.

Bai Xiuying was frightened until Jia Dongxu knocked on the door. Bai Xiuying opened the door and let Jia Dongxu in. Yi Zhonghai's expression improved a little. He glanced at Jia Dongxu and said, "Dongxu, what can I do for you?" Jia Dongxu's expression was not good, and he told his master the purpose of his visit awkwardly.

Yi Zhonghai was speechless. He glanced at Jia Dongxu and said, "You are now a first-level fitter. It seems that you have about 300 grams of meat coupons a month. Where are the meat coupons in your family?" That's right, after going through 81 difficult experiences, the apprentice "Master Jia" finally entered the ranks of first-level fitters.

Seeing Jia Dongxu's silence, Yi Zhonghai shook his head helplessly. He asked his wife to take out a meat ticket, thought for a while and said, "Forget it, tonight is New Year's Day. We have your family and the old lady, so let's have a good New Year's Day. This way it will be more lively, don't you think?"

Jia Dongxu thought about it and thought, this is fine, since his master earns so much a month, he can have something good tonight. After chatting with his master for a few words, he walked away with drooling mouth.

Seeing his disciple, whom he regarded as his own child, behave like this, Yi Zhonghai seemed to have a mouthful of blood spurting out. But except for Jia Dongxu, who else in the whole courtyard could provide for him in his old age? He sighed deeply and felt that he had more white hair on his head.

Qin Huairu took He Yushui and Qin Jingru into the supply and marketing cooperative. Although it was not the first time for them to come to the supply and marketing cooperative, Qin Jingru's small eyes showed great shock. She felt that the city was really good. It would be great if she could stay in the city forever.

He Yushui didn't have such a big feeling. Her brother and sister-in-law brought her to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things almost every week. She didn't have much interest in the things in the supply and marketing cooperative. She quietly held her sister-in-law's hand and focused her attention on the people coming and going.

He paid 3 yuan and bought six bottles of Beibingyang soda. He Yuzhu and the other men were drinking tonight, so he and his two sisters could only drink Beibingyang soda. Looking at the soda in her sister's hand, little Qin Jingru's mouth was almost drooling.

Since the last time he drank soda, he still hasn't forgotten the taste. The taste was simply amazing. He didn't expect that he could drink soda this time when he came to his sister and brother-in-law's house.
