Siheyuan: Activate the farm system at the beginning
Chapter 9 Changlin, You Are Too Extravagant
Li Changlin took the 50 yuan compensation from Jia Dongxu and went out to buy a roast chicken, three pounds of braised pork head, about 20 white flour buns, and two bottles of white wine.
All of Jia Dongxu's compensation was spent.
I even paid a few yuan out of my own pocket.
Purchasing so many supplies at one time is indeed somewhat eye-catching during this difficult period.
Li Changlin took these supplies and came to the house of Brother Wang next door.
"Brother Wang, I'm here."
Li Changlin shouted loudly inside.
Brother Wang was preparing dinner at this time. He had put in a lot of effort to give Li Changlin a good meal, but the family did not have much surplus food, so what he could cook was very limited.
After hearing Li Changlin's words, he walked out of the kitchen and was shocked to see the large and small bags Li Changlin had placed on the table.
He saw roast chicken, meat, steamed buns and wine on the table.
My heart suddenly ached.
"Changlin, you don't want to come over? You used all the money Jia Dongxu compensated you to buy things."
Brother Wang Er saw the value of it at a glance. He had only wanted to help Li Changlin before, but he didn't expect Li Changlin to bring so much food. How embarrassed was he?
Li Changlin squatted down and hugged Wang Erge's three-year-old daughter, then took out a piece of pork head from the bag and stuffed it into the child's hand: "Come, Niuniu, eat meat."
Then he turned to look at Brother Wang and said with a smile: "This is all unexpected money, we must spend it all, otherwise it will be unlucky. Besides, I have been taken care of by Brother Wang for some time, so it is only right that I bring some food here."
Niu Niu's eyes have been fixed on the meat ever since Li Changlin brought in the meat.
However, even when Li Changlin handed the meat to her mouth, she did not open her mouth easily, but looked at Brother Wang Er, as if asking, Dad, can I eat it?
Brother Wang Er looked at the two children drooling and said with a smile, "Eat it. Uncle Li brought it to you. Why don't you thank Uncle Li quickly?"
Brother Wang’s eldest son and daughter are about the same age as Jia Dongxu’s two children.
It was still 1960, and Jia Dongxu's third child had not yet been born.
Compared with the children in Jia Dongxu's family, the two children in Wang Erge's family are much more honest.
After hearing their father's permission, the two children said to Li Changlin in unison, "Thank you, Uncle Li."
At this time, the two children picked up the white flour buns and braised pork head and started to gobble them up.
In this period of famine, which is now the most difficult time, it is good enough to be able to eat. Where can we find so many white flour buns and meat to eat?
Now seeing all this suddenly, it was already quite a relief that the two children had been able to hold back before.
But even so, the two children ate in a much more polite manner and did not lose their manners.
"Changlin, you should start eating first. I'll be ready soon."
Brother Wang asked Li Changlin to sit down. The food he prepared was not comparable to the food Li Changlin brought, but he still had to get what he needed to get.
You can't just eat the guests' food when they come to your house.
"Second brother, take your time. I'll go call Guo Tao over. We agreed to come over for dinner and drinks."
Li Changlin did not sit down, but walked outside.
Originally, Li Changlin wanted to ask Lin Guotao's family to come over, but Lin Guotao refused and came alone.
At that time, every household was in a very difficult situation. Brother Wang was raising two children alone, and his family was even more difficult. How could he bear to come here to eat and drink so much?
After Lin Guotao came over, he was also shocked by the things on Brother Wang's table.
"Second brother, you don't want to live anymore, do you? Why are you preparing so many things?"
I originally thought I was just coming here to have a simple drink, but I didn't expect Brother Wang to prepare such a sumptuous meal.
"Guo Tao, you think too highly of me. You know my family background. Where did I get this ability? This is something Changlin brought here."
Brother Wang had just finished frying the last plate of peanuts and put it on the table.
Lin Guotao quickly realized that this was something Li Changlin bought with Jia Dongxu's compensation money.
"Changlin, you are wasting money too much. Do you want to live your life in the future? You finally have some money, don't spend it lavishly like before. I just checked and it seems that the roast chicken is not touched, and there are two bottles of wine. How about we return them and get a little money back.
This money can buy whole grains for you to eat for several months."
Lin Guotao suddenly felt a little disappointed with Li Changlin. Li Changlin was used to spending money lavishly, and as soon as he had some money, he would spend it all.
If you spend money like this, even if you have mountains of gold and silver at home, it won’t be enough.
Wasn’t it because of this reason that Li Changlin fell into such a state before?
"Brother Lin, thank you for your concern. This is all unexpected money. There is an old saying that says you can't keep unexpected money. It's better to spend it all. Then your life will slowly get better in the future.
Besides, these things have already been sold, how can they be returned?"
Li Changlin also understood that Lin Guotao was doing this for his own good, but isn’t the money to be spent?
Li Changlin repeated the same argument he had used to dissuade Wang Erge.
“That being said, we shouldn’t spend all our money.
I just did a rough calculation and it seems like I can't even afford 50 yuan to buy these things. I might need to spend a little more.
Although you can’t keep unexpected money, you should still save some for your future life.”
Lin Guotao roughly calculated the things on the table and the total value was probably more than 50 yuan.
Now, after all the unexpected money has been spent, I still need to pay some money back.
Li Changlin smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Lin, let's not talk about these things. Let's eat and drink well tonight, otherwise it will be a waste of food."
"Everything is ready, everyone please sit down and eat."
Brother Wang Er also greeted them.
Li Changlin and the other two sat on chairs. Li Changlin did not take the white flour buns, but instead reached out to take the steamed corn bread made by Wang Erge.
Steamed buns were the main food in this famine era. They were usually made of bran flour mixed with sorghum or corn.
Even so, what you can eat in a day is very limited.
Although Li Changlin received the original owner's memory, he didn't have much impression of Wowotou.
The original owner never treated himself badly when it came to food.
This is also one of the important reasons why the original owner squandered all his property in such a short period of time.
