Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

Time soon came to three o'clock in the afternoon. Because the planned supply of materials was reduced, and the unplanned things could not be purchased. In addition, everyone's quantitative introduction. The small kitchen in the steel rolling mill was shut down. So He Yuzhu and Liu Lan finished lunch and cleaned up and could leave work.

"Silly Zhu! Are you living a good life?! You even have a bicycle?!" He Yuzhu had just pushed his bicycle to the factory gate when the security officer standing by the gate joked with a smile.

He Yuzhu said hurriedly: "Everyone, please be polite. I can't afford a new bike. Even if I can afford it, I can't get a ticket. There is a manager in the courtyard where I live who can collect bicycles. I asked him for help. Most of the parts of my bicycle were bought from the recycling station. It is an International brand."

"Silly Zhu, how about asking the manager of your hospital to help us get a few bicycles?!"

He Yuzhu said, "It's not that I don't want to help. I really can't help you with this matter. You all know who lives in my yard. They don't want to see others live a good life. Well, I won't talk to you anymore. My wife and I will go back first!" After that, He Yuzhu rode on the bicycle. Liu Lan sat on the back seat of the bicycle and held He Yuzhu's clothes tightly with one hand.

Having a bicycle is really convenient. It used to take half an hour to walk, but now it only takes a quarter of an hour. Not long after, He Yuzhu drove Liu Lan back to the courtyard. As soon as he entered the gate of the courtyard, He Yuzhu smiled and greeted Yang Ruihua: "Auntie!"

The third aunt looked at He Yuzhu and asked, "Silly Zhu, what can I do for you?!"

He Yuzhu said, "Third Auntie, I have something to discuss with you."

The third aunt said impatiently: "Silly Zhu, if you have something to say, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush!"

He Yuzhu said, "My wife is going to give birth in five months. As you know, I don't have any elders at home, and my mother-in-law can't leave. I would like to ask you to help take care of my wife during her confinement. But don't worry! I won't ask you for help in vain. When the time comes, I will give you five dollars, what do you think?!"

The third aunt said, "No problem. Leave it to me. When the time comes, I will definitely help you take good care of your wife and children."

"Then I'd like to thank you first!" He Yuzhu took a lunch box and handed it to the third aunt, saying, "I'll add a dish to your family tonight. It's a small token of my appreciation."

"Okay! Then thank you in advance." After saying that, the third aunt accepted the lunch box.

Bang Geng, who was hiding not far away, saw the lunch box in the third aunt's hand and was so greedy! But Bang Geng knew that the people in the courtyard were more cautious about the Jia family than thieves, especially the third uncle's family. Not to mention. If he couldn't eat the food in the lunch box, couldn't he get other food? ! Bang Geng stayed at the door for a while and began to walk the streets to look for his prey.

At 4:30 in the afternoon, as soon as the bell rang, Jia Dongxu hurried out of the steel mill. When the security staff saw Jia Dongxu's appearance, they couldn't help but mutter, "What medicine did Jia Dongxu take today?! He left so early?!"

"This guy is mentally ill. If he were more sane, he would have found a way to get back to the workshop long ago."

"He goes back to the workshop?! Someone wants him too?!"

Jia Dongxu didn't know what the security department said. Even if he knew, Jia Dongxu would just smile and say, "How can making parts be as profitable as dealing in waste materials?!" Jia Dongxu went out for a trip at noon today and made a lot of money. There were about five pounds of copper and seven or eight pounds of iron in that sack of stuff. Jia Dongxu sold it for more than a hundred yuan. Just by doing this, Jia Dongxu earned almost half a year's salary. How could he not be happy? ! After walking for about ten minutes, Jia Dongxu came to the Pigeon Market, which was closest to the steel mill. Jia Dongxu took out a hat and a mask from his pocket, disguised himself, and then walked to the entrance of the Pigeon Market. After paying a five-cent entrance fee, Jia Dongxu entered the Pigeon Market.

The Pigeon Market is located in a well-connected alley. Although there are many things in the Pigeon Market, people are now targeting food. Jia Dongxu walked around from beginning to end, then walked up to an old man and asked, "Uncle, what's the price of corn flour?!"

The old man replied, "30 cents if you have a ticket, 50 cents if you don't have a ticket."

When Jia Dongxu heard the old man's offer, his brows immediately frowned and he said in a cold voice: "Uncle, isn't this too expensive?!"

The old man smoked his pipe and said without raising his head: "If you think it's too expensive, don't buy it!"

Jia Dongxu thought that his family would soon run out of food, and he had made a lot of money today. Jia Dongxu took out a cloth bag, handed it to the old man, and said, "Uncle, I don't have a ticket, give me ten kilograms."

Seeing that there was business, the old man no longer had the heart to smoke his pipe. He put the pipe into his belt, took the cloth bag from Jia Dongxu, scooped some corn flour into the bag with a bowl, then took out a scale, weighed it, and said, "Ten pounds. I'll give you ten pounds."

Jia Dongxu took out five dollars and handed it to the old man, and at the same time took the cloth bag from the old man.

When Jia Dongxu was walking out of the pigeon market with a cloth bag, he met the second aunt who came to buy eggs. Although the two saw each other, they did not say hello. After leaving the pigeon market, Jia Dongxu walked around outside for a few rounds, and after making sure there was no one following him, he found someone, took off his mask and hat, and then returned to the courtyard with the cloth bag.

At the same time, Yan Jiecheng came back. As soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Mom, is there anything to eat?! I'm starving!"

The third aunt replied, "It's a lean period right now, where can we get extra food at home?! Just be patient, and when your father and his family come back, we'll have dinner."

Yan Jiecheng complained: "Mom, can't you get me something to eat first?!"

The third aunt stretched out her hand and said, "If you want something simple, give me the money and the ticket, and I will cook it for you right away."

Yan Jiecheng was even more stingy than his father Yan Bugui. It was simply a fantasy to expect to get money from him. Since the ration was reduced, Yan Jiecheng used to come back once a month, but now it has become once a week. In the first two weeks, Yan Jiecheng ate and took money. Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang didn't say anything. Yan Bugui and his wife only complained a few words.

Seeing that Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang didn't say anything, Yan Jiecheng became unscrupulous. After the third week, Yan Jiecheng finished his meal and was about to leave with his things. Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang stopped him. Yan Jiefang even took out an abacus and started to count in front of Yan Jiecheng.

My goodness, when it comes to accounting, Yan Jiefang is no worse than Yan Bugui and his wife. Nine out of 13 returned, Yan Jiecheng was so confused that Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang extorted thirty yuan from him. From then on, Yan Jiecheng never took anything from home again. But every time he came back, Yan Jiecheng's appetite increased a lot. If there was a big eater competition in this era, Yan Jiecheng would definitely win the prize.

There was no other way, Yan Jiecheng could only go back to his room and lie down. After all, if he did less exercise, he would burn less energy, and he would be able to endure hunger for a longer time.

After Yan Jiecheng left, Yan Jiedi came in from outside. After walking to her mother's side, Yan Jiedi stretched out her hand and pulled the trouser leg of the third aunt. The third aunt turned her head and asked, "What's wrong with Jiedi?!"

Yan Jie Di smiled and motioned to the third aunt to lower her head. The third aunt did not doubt it and lowered her head as Yan Jie Di instructed. Yan Jie Di took out a pine nut candy from her pocket, stuffed it into the third aunt's mouth, and then quickly ran out of the kitchen. The third aunt looked at Yan Jie Di's back, and her mouth and heart were sweet.
