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

The Siheyuan has been particularly lively recently, for no other reason than that Banggeng has returned. Not only does he not kiss his biological mother, but he also hangs out with Xu Damao and Qin Jingru.

Everyone was watching the fun, but Qin Jingru was a little annoyed, because Banggeng ate too much. Not only did he not help with the work, but he also picked and ate. If she hadn't saved some money before, she would probably have been eaten bankrupt by Banggeng.

Although she also liked to eat good food, Banggeng was an outsider and all the food and drinks were eaten and drunk at their house. After a long time, she felt a little dissatisfied.

"Bang Geng, what are your plans for the future?"

Qin Jingru thought about it, but finally couldn't help it and asked directly.

"Aunt, I plan to learn a craft and become an apprentice, but I don't know what to learn."

Bang Geng told the truth that he didn't want to go to school at all and just wanted to find a job and earn money as soon as possible so that he wouldn't be controlled by others.

"I remember that Old Li in our yard used to be a carpenter. Why don't you go and learn from him?

We are from the same courtyard, he should be able to teach you wholeheartedly."

"Carpentry work is tiring and dirty. I don't like it very much."

Banggeng refused without even thinking about it. He didn't want to do such hard and dirty work.

"And the mason?"

"It's dirtier than carpentry. I don't like it."

"How about being a cook? Forget about anything else. Look at Sha Zhu. He lives very well with his cooking skills. Even Xiao Kai has started to make money. I heard that Xiao Kai can earn 10 yuan for each outing. If he does two or three outings a month, he can earn 30 to yuan."

Qin Jingru was very envious. From what she could think of, being a cook was the one who made the most money.

"I don't want it. I don't like silly pillars."

"It just so happens that I don't like silly pillars either."

Xu Damao walked in from outside and glared at Qin Jingru as he spoke: "Qin Jingru, what's wrong with you? Don't you know that Sha Zhu and I are sworn enemies? You still praise him so much, don't you think I'm not awesome?"

"That's not what I meant. Bang Geng has always wanted to find a job, and I'm giving him some advice. He doesn't like being a carpenter, nor does he want to be a mason or a cook. I don't know what else he can do. It's a good thing that you're back. You have a lot of ideas. Why don't you two discuss it?"

Qin Jingru hurriedly explained and then threw the question directly to Xu Damao. She was stupid and couldn't come up with so many ideas.

“At his age, Bangteng should either go to school or be an apprentice.

How about this, you can follow me and learn from me. I tell you, the job of projectionist is very popular. It is simple and easy, and the salary is high."

"Uncle, are you telling the truth?

Can I also learn from you and become a projectionist?"

Bang Geng's face lit up with joy and he said excitedly.

If he could follow Xu Damao, it would be what he wanted. Even though he was young before, he still had some memories.

Every time Xu Damao went to the countryside to show movies, he would bring back some local specialties from the farm, or chickens, ducks, and geese raised by the villagers. In any case, he rarely came back empty-handed.

Everyone said that Sha Zhu's job was well paid, but in his opinion, Xu Damao's was also good, and he could often go out and about, and he didn't have to work around the stove every day. In his eyes, cooking was something that women did.

"Of course. When you finish your studies, I will arrange for you to go there. I tell you, showing movies will definitely become a trend in the future. Nowadays, no matter if it's a wedding or a birth, as long as someone encounters a big happy event, they will basically hire a movie. By then, our income will definitely be high, something that others will envy.

Let’s not talk about the future, let’s talk about now. Look at our courtyard. Is there anyone like us who eats meat every other day? !”

Xu Damao looked proud. He was very satisfied with his job. Although it was not as good as the best but better than the worst, it was good enough.

The main thing is that he can coax Bang Geng over and make Qin Huairu feel disgusted, which is also pretty good.

"Thank you, uncle-in-law. Don't worry, when I make money in the future, I will definitely be filial to you and aunt."

Banggeng was very happy. When he thought about the wonderful life in the future, he couldn't help but feel excited.

"Bang Geng, you are right. Your aunt and I have loved you well."

"That's right, uncle-in-law. I remember it all in my heart. I know who is good to me and who is not."

The room was full of laughter. Qin Huairu stood outside the door, her heart chilled to the extreme. She covered her mouth, trying not to make any sound.

The guy she used to care about the most, Bang Geng, is now saying nice things to others and trying to make others happy. She feels very upset.

Qin Huairu ran away crying and went straight to an aunt's house, crying her heart out.

......

It has been a while since he was released from the juvenile detention center. At first, Banggeng could still tolerate not smoking, but later on, he became more and more unable to help it.

First, he took advantage of Qin Huairu's absence to rummage through the drawers and boxes, trying to find out where the money was hidden. However, Qin Huairu hid it too deep, and he had not been home for too long, so he did not find a penny, which made him hate Qin Huairu even more.

When I was craving for cigarettes, I could only pick up cigarette butts thrown by others on the street and put them in my mouth again and again, but I still couldn't get enough.

That day, Banggeng's urge to smoke came back. He had no choice but to take out ten yuan from the cabinet while Qin Jingru went out to buy vegetables, and went out with the money in his pocket.

I bought a pack of cigarettes, and Banggeng hid aside, satisfying his craving for cigarettes.

"Bang Geng, it's you!"

Just as Bang Geng stood up and prepared to leave, he suddenly heard a voice behind him. He looked over and saw a group of people walking towards him aggressively. He recognized the man leading the group. He was the one he often bullied in the juvenile detention center. Seeing that the people were not friendly, Bang Geng ran away. He thought that two fists could not fight four hands, and a wise man would not suffer a loss in front of him.

Turning left and right, he was chased into a dead end. Looking at the wall in front of him, he turned around and looked at the person chasing him. Bang Geng quickly said:

"Brother Lai Zi, please forgive me for what I have done. I promise to avoid you next time I see you."

As he spoke, he took out all the money and cigarettes from his pocket:

"These are all the things I have. If you let me go this time, I promise I will never appear in front of you again."

Brother Lai Zi grabbed the change in Bang Geng's hand, threw it in his face, and smiled coldly:

"Bang Geng, are you insulting me?!"

After saying this, without waiting for Bang Geng to react, he gave an order and everyone who followed him immediately took action.

"Brother Lai Zi, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong..."

Bang Geng had practiced martial arts before, so he fought back while begging for mercy. He would have avoided fighting if he could, since he was the one who suffered the loss.
