Siheyuan: With a system in place, you don’t need to worry in times of famine

Chapter 185: Don’t accept charity, cultivate from below

When Ye Fei came back, he was carrying the leftovers he had packed from Yuebinlou.

When she reached the gate of the courtyard, she happened to meet Jia Zhang who was coming back from get off work. A foul smell wafted past her nose and she couldn't help but frown.

Why is this Jia Zhang so smelly?!

Did he fall into a cesspool?!

He moved away with a slight look of disgust, allowing Jia Zhang to go in first.

Glancing at Ye Fei who was one step behind her, Jia Zhang curled her lips in disdain. Especially after noticing the bag in Ye Fei's hand, a feeling of crazy jealousy rose in her heart.

I took a deep breath, and the air was filled with the aroma of rice.

After walking a little further, Jia Zhang grumbled indignantly:

"Bah, you eat delicious food every day, why don't you eat yourself to death?!"

He walked into the room cursing, and just as he sat on the stool, he heard Jia Dongxu's disdainful voice:

"Mom, what do you smell like?!

It smells terrible, can you please wash yourself first before coming over here! "

"What's the smell?!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Zhang sniffed her arm carefully, and smelled nothing, so she said disapprovingly.

"It stinks!"

Jia Dongxu pinched his nose and looked at Jia Zhang impatiently:

"Mom, did you sweep the toilet but didn't clean it?!"

There was a trace of guilt in Jia Zhang's eyes. She felt too tired after cleaning, so she didn't wash up and went straight back.

But she smelled it carefully and there was no smell at all.

"Mom is done with her work now, I'll go wash it right away."

Jia Zhang walked out, cleaned herself up briefly, and was about to lie down on the bed to rest for a while when Jia Dongxu's voice rang out again:

"Mom, hurry up and cook. I'm hungry."

"Dongxu, Mom is a little tired, let Mom rest for a while first."

"But I'm starving. Go and cook for me."

Jia Dongxu said angrily. It was almost past the usual dinner time and his stomach was already growling with hunger. He was waiting for Jia Zhangshi to come back.

"Dongxu, Mom is really tired, let Mom rest for a while."

Jia Zhang continued to lie there indifferently. At this moment, she actually missed the days when Qin Huairu was at home very much.

If Qin Huairu was at home in the past, how could she be the one to cook?!

It’s a pity that Qin Huairu went to work. The most annoying thing is that she no longer receives pension money every month.

Thinking of the pension money, Jia Zhang planned to whisper in Jia Dongxu's ear:

"Dongxu, you see, Mom is getting old.

I won't say much about the hardships and injustices I have endured over the years.

I know Qin Huairu's salary is a bit low, how about giving mom one dollar a month, what do you think? ! "

"Mom, go cook first.

Now, the most important thing for our family is to unite as one, so that we can get through this day!"

Jia Dongxu did not agree with Jia Zhang's words. He had already figured it out. Instead of giving his mother a few dollars every month, it would be better to save the money and keep it for himself.

By then, even if something really happens, he will have money to deal with it.

If I really give it to his mother, I may not be able to get it back later.

"Okay, then mom will go cook first."

Seeing that Jia Dongxu looked a little impatient, Jia Zhang had no choice but to stand up and go cook.

However, Jia Dongxu, lying on the bed, suddenly recalled what Qin Huairu said.

I can earn five yuan a month by cleaning toilets at the street office.

His leg won't heal for the time being, so if he lets his mother continue to clean the toilet, the family will have an extra five dollars, which will definitely make things a lot easier.

Otherwise, you can go to Director Wang of the Street Office to make arrangements.

Having made up his mind, Jia Dongxu didn't think about it any more.

Anyway, everything is for this family, his mother will definitely agree.

Even if you don't agree, you have to agree!

......

Ye Fei had just returned home with his things when Yan Jieyin came running over like a kitten, smelling something.

"Brother Ye Fei, did you bring back anything delicious?"

"You little foodie, how come your nose is so sharp?!"

Ye Fei looked at Yan Jiezhi with amusement and reached out to touch Yan Jiezhi's forehead.

"Hehe, it smells so good, Brother Ye Fei, is there any meat?!"

"Well, yes, yes."

Ye Fei nodded, and seeing Yan Jieyi's greedy look, he smiled again:

"But have you forgotten what I taught you before?!"

"No, Brother Ye Fei, I remember clearly that I would not accept charity.

If Jie Xi wants to eat something, he has to work hard.

Only when you exchange your labor for fruits can you be respected by others! "

Having said that, Yan Jiezhi immediately picked up a rag on the table and started wiping it.

Ye Fei looked at Yan Jiezhi busying himself and did not dissuade him.

He would not tolerate Yan Jiezhi's bad habits.

Although he liked little girls a little, Yan Jiejin was not his own daughter, so he naturally would not give her for free.

After watching Yan Jieyin wipe the table and stools and put everything in order, Ye Fei took out some dishes from the bag:

"Eat quickly."

"Thank you, Brother Ye Fei."

Yan Jieyin sat down on the stool and began to eat ravenously.

When Yan Bugui came over, he saw Yan Jieyi eating meat with big mouthfuls. After a look of surprise on his face, he immediately came to his senses and said to Ye Fei with a smile:

"Ye Fei, Jie Xi is here to cause you trouble again.

She has been greedy since she was young, and there is no shortage of food for her at home!"

“It’s okay, we are just exchanging equal value.

She helps me clean the house, and I pay her with meat!"

Ye Fei explained calmly, completely unaware of how much of a shock his words had brought to Yan Bugui.

"Cleaning the house?!"

Yan Bugui was speechless and said in disbelief:

"Jie Xi is such a young child, what can she do?!"

"Dad, I know a lot."

Without waiting for Ye Fei to say anything, Yan Jieyi said proudly:

"Look at this table and stools. I cleaned them all."

"Forehead......"

Yan Bugui was a little speechless. Just wiping the table, he could get meat in return?!

After taking a look at Ye Fei who was used to it, Yan Bugui understood what was going on. He guessed that this was really a situation where both parties were willing to fight and be beaten.

He didn't think that it was oppressive for Ye Fei to ask Yan Jieyin to do the work. After all, he knew Ye Fei's temperament a little.

Moreover, letting Yan Jieyi know from a young age that working can be exchanged for what she wants can also be regarded as cultivating some good habits in her.

Otherwise, when he grows up, he will be like Yan Jiecheng, who does not look for a job but instead stays at home and eats and drinks for free. That is definitely not what he wants to see.

"as long as you are happy."

After thinking for a long time, Yan Bugui uttered these words, then looked at Ye Fei and spoke again:

"Ye Fei, I came to you to ask you something."
