Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

The people in the courtyard smelled the aroma of meat from Zhou Jin's house, and they all thought it would be great if Zhou Jin could send them a bowl, but most of them knew that this was impossible, so they just thought about it in their hearts.

Like Yan Bugui's family, after smelling the fragrance of Zhou Jin's food, they immediately asked the three aunts to start eating. Following the smell, even the hard-to-swallow corn flour could be easily coaxed into their stomachs.

Yan Bugui was originally very proud of his decision. After all, cornmeal is just corn and corn cobs crushed together, and it is not very fine, so even if it is cooked, it will make your throat sore after eating.

But when they smelled the delicious food from Zhou Jin's house, there was no such problem at all. The family of six finished the cornmeal porridge quickly.

Yan Bugui looked at his family proudly and said, "Look at my decision. What do you think? Do you think cornmeal tastes bad now?"

At this time, Yan Jiefang had just licked his bowl, then put it down and said.

"Dad, smelling the delicious food from Zhou Jin's house, this cornmeal is indeed not bad, but I ate it too fast, and my stomach doesn't feel full at all. It's as if I didn't eat anything."

Yan Jiecheng: "Yes, Dad, I finished this bowl of cornmeal porridge in just two or three mouthfuls. Now I feel like I haven't eaten anything. Can we make some more food?"

At this time, Yan Bugui slapped his head suddenly and said that he had not expected it.

"Hey, I originally thought that cornmeal was hard to swallow, and that it should be easier to eat if we follow the aroma. I didn't expect this problem to occur. This time it's my fault for not thinking it through.

But the amount of each meal is fixed for each person, and if you want to add more food, you can either pay for it or you don’t have to eat the next meal.”

When the children of the Yan family heard this, they all fell silent. In fact, they knew that it was unlikely to add more meals, but they still wanted to give it a try, just in case their father agreed.

Although it was impossible to have extra meals and everyone was destined to go to bed hungry tonight, Yan Jiecheng suddenly thought of something and he looked at Yan Bugui.

"Dad, the work position you agreed with Shazhu before, now that he's been discharged from the hospital, when are we going to get this done?

You see, if I enter the factory earlier, I can earn an extra day's wages. Besides, it's only a few months away from the Chinese New Year, so I can even get a New Year's gift by then, don't you think?"

Yan Bugui thought that what Yan Jiecheng said was indeed correct. The matter was delayed before because Sha Zhu was in the hospital. Now that he has been discharged from the hospital, this matter must be done as soon as possible.

"Okay, Boss, there's no problem with what you said. I'll go ask Sha Zhu later and try to get the work station as soon as possible."

At this time, the three aunts spoke.

"Old man, do you think that Teacher Ran would be interested in Sha Zhu? I have seen that Teacher Ran. She is very beautiful. You can tell at a glance that she comes from a scholarly family and is well-educated."

Yan Bugui took a sip of water and said with disdain.

"Haha, you idiot, why don't you take a piss and look at his appearance? Teacher Ran's family are all intellectuals. Her parents just returned from studying abroad and are now teaching at a university.

Do you think she would be interested in Sha Zhu, a cook? Besides, Sha Zhu has been staring at Qin Huairu all day long, and his reputation has long been tarnished. I will not harm Teacher Ran."

When Yan Jiecheng heard what his father said, he became a little anxious. He knew that the prerequisite for him to get this job position was that Yan Bugui helped introduce Ran Qiuye to Sha Zhu.

If his father didn't introduce Teacher Ran to Sha Zhu, then his job position would be ruined and how would he get married?

"Dad, you've already promised Shazhu, if you go back on your word, he will definitely not sell me the job. I'm waiting to go on a blind date and get married once I get a formal job."

Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiecheng and said unhappily.

"Who said I wouldn't introduce him to Sha Zhu? I only agreed to let Teacher Ran meet him three times. Whether it succeeds or not is none of my business. You don't know anything about the situation. Why are you so anxious here? You are really useless."

Yan Jiecheng didn't care about Yan Bugui's scolding. He had long been used to it. As long as there were no accidents at his workstation, it was fine.

Yan Bugui didn't want to see Yan Jiecheng again, so he put on a coat and went out to find Sha Zhu.

At the same time, the Jia family of the Intermediate Court.

Because Sha Zhu was hospitalized during this period, Jia Dongxu's salary could only barely ensure that everyone would not starve to death. As for eating enough, that was impossible.

And wanting to return to its previous state is even more impossible.

The living standard of the Jia family is now in a straight line decline compared to when Sha Zhu was still working.

Although Sha Zhu has been discharged from the hospital, according to the hospital's doctor's orders, Sha Zhu still has to rest at home for a month. Even if his recovery ability is super strong, he still has to rest for at least twenty days.

In other words, the Jia family will have to continue living a life of hunger until Sha Zhu is able to work at the steel mill.

The most important thing is that they have sold the gold ring left by Jia Zhang, and the family’s current food is barely enough to last for a month.

Jia Dongxu is fine. He is now the pillar of the Jia family and must not fall down. So even though the family is already in such a difficult situation, Qin Huairu has to find a way to make sure Jia Dongxu has enough to eat.

He did physical work in the steel rolling mill. If he didn't have enough to eat, it would be easy for something to happen. You know, Lao Jia got into an accident at the steel rolling mill and lost his life.

After ensuring that Jia Dongxu had enough food, there was not much food left at home. Qin Huairu was used to living a hard life, so she could endure not having enough to eat.

But the bad boy Banggeng couldn't stand it, because he had been spoiled by Jia Zhangshi and Shazhu.

Before, after Sha Zhu was hospitalized, he would make a loud noise every time he ate. Qin Huairu had no choice but to watch, and Jia Dongxu didn't care at first.

After all, Banggeng used to make this scene often when he was eating. However, since there was no delicious food at home, Banggeng would make a big fuss every day, and Jia Dongxu naturally couldn't stand it.

After being beaten a few times, he became obedient and would only eat things he had never eaten before.

If it were the old Banggen, even if there was not enough food at home, we would always find other ways to fill our stomachs.

For example, he might snatch food from other children in the yard, or stop classmates on the way to school and take their breakfast.

Over the years, because of Jia Zhang and Sha Zhu's favoritism towards him, Banggeng ate well and grew much stronger than the other children.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Bang Geng to bully children of the same age as him, or even children who are one or two years older than him.

In addition, Banggeng has more important support, namely Jia Zhangshi, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu.

With the protection of these three people, Bang Geng often got into trouble in the past, but he never received any substantial punishment.

There was only one exception, which was when he tried to snatch Zhou Xin's firecrackers and was beaten up by Zhou Jin.

However, as time went on, Bang Geng's protective umbrellas fell one after another. First, his grandmother Jia Zhang was arrested and imprisoned, then Yi Zhonghai was executed, and Sha Zhu was sent to the hospital.

The most important thing is that those kids also know that Banggeng has no backing now, and they may not be able to defeat Banggeng alone, so they have to go together as a group.

After suffering losses several times, Banggeng no longer dared to do that kind of thing and could only commit petty thefts in the yard.

Today he also heard Zhou Xin and He Yushui say that they not only went to the front to watch the military parade, but also went to a restaurant to have lunch, which made Banggeng particularly envious.

As a result, at night, there was still only cornmeal porridge, a very small steamed bun, and a plate of boiled cabbage in his house.

Banggeng had been eating this kind of food for almost half a month, and even after being lectured by Jia Dongxu several times, he had gotten used to it.

But tonight Zhou Jin's family prepared so many delicious foods, and the smell kept drilling into Bang Geng's nose. How could Bang Geng, who was still a child, bear it?

Then his bloodline awakened again, and he just lay on the ground and swayed back and forth, twisting and crying.

"I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat. I don't want to eat this steamed bread. I want to eat meat."

It was not known whether Jia Dongxu was out of kindness today, but he looked at the funny guy and did not do anything. Instead, he ate by himself without saying a word.

Although Qin Huairu felt sorry for Bang Geng, there was nothing she could do.

When she smelled the delicious food from Zhou Jin's house, she thought about going there to ask for some meat.

However, the past memories suddenly attacked Qin Huairu fiercely. Yes, Zhou Jin was not a fool. In the whole courtyard, except for those who were willing to give meat to him, no family had ever successfully come to ask for meat.

Qin Huairu has a lot to say in this regard. She has gone to Zhou Jin's house to ask for meat more than once or twice, but has never succeeded. Even though Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu spoke for her at that time, it still had no effect.
