Grandma Yang is pasting matchboxes. This job is charged by piece, 100.8 cents for each piece. One person can earn at most 300 to 400 yuan a day. Besides being meticulous, one also has to spend a lot of time.

"Tiedan is up."

Grandma Yang smiled and the two little ones also greeted her.

"Brother Tiedan."

"good."

Wang Tiedan took the initiative to sit down at the table and rubbed the heads of the two little guys.

"Tiedan, we still have half of yesterday's chicken and the white flour, but we have two pounds of corn flour left. How do you want to eat it?" Grandma Yang stood up, wiped her hands and asked.

"Grandma Yang, I'll go get some more flour. Can you help me make some steamed buns with chicken and some cabbage? What do you think?"

"That's great. It's convenient to carry with you when you go out to work, and it won't be noticeable."

"Yes, I'll go get the flour, and you prepare the stuffing first."

Grandma Yang was very skillful. Together with Wang Tiedan and the two children's help, they steamed out sixteen big, delicious buns in forty minutes.

Wang Tiedan ate four in one go, packed up eight, and left the rest for Grandma Yang's family. If it wasn't enough, he had a second pot, which also contained sixteen.

In return, my family asked Grandma Yang to clean the house, especially the pot of flavoring soup, which had to be handled in secret.

After picking up the buns, Wang Tiedan prepared to go out and do some work. He didn’t really do it, but he just wanted to create the illusion that he was very busy.

When he was leaving the compound, many people in the compound looked at him with complicated eyes. In the end, only Aunt Yang Ruihua blocked his way.

"Tiedan, wait a moment."

"Third Aunt, what do you want from me? I'm going to go out to work."

"It's okay, it'll just be a while. Did you do that chicken soup yesterday on purpose?"

The third aunt's tone was very bad, and I felt a little nauseous in the morning.

"What do you mean by intentional? Do you want more? I have two more bowls at home. They are in the pot. If you want, go get them yourself. The door is not locked."

"No, no!" The third aunt hurriedly refused.

"I want to ask you, how did you deal with the chicken intestines yesterday? Did you know that they were not cleaned at all?"

"It's so late now. I just had a simple rinse. What did you taste?" Wang Tiedan asked deliberately.

"I?"

Auntie really wanted to say that Wang Tiedan had eaten chicken shit, but that was not a good thing to say. Besides, Wang Tiedan had always been honest, and with his innocent look, she swallowed all the words she wanted to blame.

"If you can't handle it cleanly, let Auntie Three help you next time. I promise to handle it cleanly for you. How about that?"

Wang Tiedan scratched his head.

"Third Auntie, I don't have the money to buy a chicken. How about you lend me two dollars? I will buy it and let you handle it."

When Auntie Three heard the word "borrow", she turned around and left. She had always been the one taking advantage of other people, and if others wanted to take advantage of her, there were only two words to say: No way.

Wang Tiedan shook his head and continued walking out of the yard.

But he didn't know that his house had been robbed before he even walked out of the gate.

Jia Zhang had been eavesdropping on his conversation with the third aunt. When she heard that there were still two bowls of chicken soup in the pot, she picked up the large bowls and ran to Wang Tiedan's house without wasting a second.

Take the pot off the stove, pour the soup, and return with the bowl, all in one go.

The movement was so swift that the women watching were dumbfounded.

"Hey, if you want to snatch it from me, you'd better drink my old lady's foot washing water."

Jia Zhang came into the house holding a large bowl and looked at the neighbors who had just taken out their bowls, her triangular eyes full of mockery.

However, she didn't know that many people at home were retching at the thought of her drinking chicken soup.

Wang Tiedan came to the street corner where he often waited for work according to his memory.

There are still many people gathered here, some squatting or sitting, smoking and chatting, looking at passers-by from time to time, their eyes full of expectation.

Seeing Wang Tiedan coming, a young man with a slightly pale face waved hurriedly.

"Tiedan, come here."

Wang Tiedan walked straight over.

"Brother Tiedan, you're here." A burly man was sitting next to the cart. He looked a little dazed. He was probably hungry and didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Big silly boy."

Wang Tiedan touched the man’s head and sat on the cart.

"Monkey, why are there so many people at this time? No one is looking for work?"

"Dongcheng is so small, there isn't so much work to do in a day. Where have you been these days? I thought you were dead." said the skinny monkey.

"I got sick and nearly died."

Wang Tiedan replied angrily, stuffed the cloth bag he was carrying into the monkey's hand, and whispered, "It has stuffing. Take Dahan to a deserted place to eat it."

"what?"

"What? Go quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Oh!"

When Skinny Monkey heard there was a job, he hurriedly pulled Dahan, who still had a dazed look on his face, and walked towards the alley next to him.

Less than a minute later, the two walked back together.

Dahan was still smacking his lips, looking unsatisfied, while Shouhou's face turned red. He picked up the kettle and poured it into his mouth, then returned the cloth bag to Wang Tiedan.

"Dahan, is it delicious?" Wang Tiedan said with a smile.

"It's delicious, Brother Tiedan. I want to take one for my mom and sister. Is that okay?" Dahan said.

Wang Tiedan picked up the cloth bag and took a look. There were still six big buns left.

"Okay, send it over now."

"Is it really okay?" Dahan glanced at the skinny monkey and was a little hesitant to take the cloth bag.

"Go, go and come back quickly."

The skinny monkey also recovered by then.

"Damn it, you almost choked me to death. Go ahead, listen to your brother Tiedan, and come back soon."

"Hey."

After getting the skinny monkey's permission, Dahan picked up the cloth bag and ran home like a rabbit.

"Tiedan, where did you get this? It smells so good."

"I got a chicken last night and had some shredded chicken noodles. I asked Grandma Yang to steam the rest."

Wang Tiedan did not hide the fact that these two people were his benefactors. Without them, he would have probably starved to death when he first came to Sijiu City.

When they usually work, Skinny Monkey drives the car, Dahan does the hard work, and Wang Tiedan is weak and can only do light work, but the two of them don't mind.

In the words of Shouhou, men in Beijing should be loyal and not take things too seriously.

"Chicken noodles, oh, how delicious it is."

The skinny monkey leaned against Wang Tiedan, took out a toothpick from somewhere and started picking his teeth, with a look of aftertaste on his face.

"When it comes to shredded chicken noodles, you have to go to Wang Shenghe's. The scorpion tail is unique. When I get rich, I will take you guys there to eat his noodles to fill your stomach."

"If you want to eat, I can take you and Dahan there right now."

As Wang Tiedan spoke, he showed a big unity and a stack of bills.

The skinny monkey hurriedly covered him up and looked around to be on guard against his surroundings.

Those who live here are honest and decent and don't show off their wealth.

"Where did you get it, kid?"

"The money was stolen from the old man in our hospital, and the ticket was bought on the black market last night."

"Hey, kid, stop doing those illegal things. The old man in your hospital is not one to suffer any loss."

"Don't worry, I borrowed it based on my strength, and everyone in the hospital knows it."

The skinny monkey looked at Wang Tiedan in surprise.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I found that you are a little different."
