I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

Liang Ladi’s house!

“Dad, Mom, you’re back. Uncle Dongfang gave a family three cans of food this afternoon.

One can of meat, two cans of fruit, and one chocolate bar for each child. "Da Mao told Zhao Jie and Liang Ladi, who had just returned home, about the canned food.

"Cao Dongfang is back and has given food to your children again.

You guys eat the canned fruit and chocolate, and make a dish with the canned meat later, or you can put it aside for the New Year. "Zhao Jie asked.

"Eat it, there's not much meat left, and you can't buy much. The factory will also distribute some during the New Year.

Dumplings also require meat, flour, and oil, but canned meat is not suitable for making dumplings! "Liang Ladi said.

"Okay, then you can eat all the chocolate and canned fruit. They can also replenish your body. Without meat, they won't be very nutritious!" Zhao Jie said.

"That...that...Dad, why did Mom and Dad share the chocolates?

Uncle Dongfang said that there are four children in our family and we share four chocolate bars, and I only have two brothers. "Da Mao scratched his head.

"Hahaha! Cao Dongfang is interesting. He even counts the baby in your mother's belly. In a few months, you will have a younger sister or brother." Zhao Jie laughed.

"You men are so boring. You didn't even tell Da Mao that you were in my stomach. But it seems I have a piece of the chocolate too.

Cao Dongfang is back, and I don’t know if he will go hunting again. I hope he will go hunting to increase the welfare of the factory. "Liang Ladi has some expectations.

"I think he will go. Two days of hunting is enough for Cao Dongfang. But Cao Dongfang seems to be very busy this year, so it's hard to say," said Zhao Jie.

"It's all nonsense, it's the same as if I didn't say anything. I'll go cook, you open the can of meat. Canned meat is hard to open, but canned fruit is okay!" Liang Ladi said.

“Opening a can is no problem!

Damao, leave a piece of chocolate for your mom!" Zhao Jie said.

"Know!"

.......

Go to Niu Ye’s to pay the bill and get some wine in the evening!

"Dongfang is back. Are you still hunting? I want to buy some New Year's goods!" asked Uncle Niu.

"Has Uncle Niu finished writing it? I'll deliver it to you on the evening of the 28th day of the lunar year." Cao Dongfang said.

"Thank you so much, Dongfang. This is the New Year's gift that Pian Ye and I requested." Uncle Niu handed over a piece of paper.

Cao Dongfang took a look at it and put it in his pocket. "No problem, Master Niu. I'll come on the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year, between nine and ten. I'll go back first. Goodbye, Master Niu!"

"Goodbye, Dongfang!" Uncle Niu was happy to have New Year's goods.

The supplies for the Chinese New Year are in place again. We can have a good Chinese New Year. Cao Dongfang is very busy this year. He stays at home for half a month a year and sees people once a month.

......

"Dongfang is back. The New Year is almost here, so you don't need to go out anymore!" Chen Xueru was very happy to see Cao Dongfang coming back.

"Don't go out. The New Year is coming soon. Even the animals need a few days of rest. The production team doesn't even dare to use the donkeys like this. They will be exhausted to death!" Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"Hahaha, you are almost the same as the donkey in the production team!" Chen Xueru laughed.

"What are you talking about, metaphor, do you understand metaphor?" Cao Dongfang said.

"I still feel the same!" Chen Xueru said with a smile.

"It was almost the same just now, and now it's the same again. It changes so quickly. I despise you!" Cao Dongfang said with contempt.

"I won't talk about you anymore. My coal is almost gone. Please leave some for me. The shop is also running out of coal. Please borrow some from me!

I kept enough coal to burn until the 29th day of the lunar year, and lent the rest to the shop!

I didn’t expect that after ten days, there was no coal to buy. Everyone was scrambling for coal. Some people lined up at three or four o’clock to buy coal. It was really crazy.” Chen Xueru said.

"Is there anything you are missing?" Cao Dongfang asked.

"It seems that there is nothing missing. Aunt Wu's baby was born in October. Both mother and daughter are safe. I have been providing her with eggs and milk powder. She doesn't lack anything!" Chen Xue said.

"I'll go take a look and make up for the shortfall," said Cao Dongfang.

Cao Dongfang walked around, changed the food in the freezer, and replaced the canned food. He also put down two boxes of milk powder!

I went out of the cellar and looked around the kitchen. There was nothing missing except coal. I put some eggs in the kitchen!

After filling the coal pool, Cao Dongfang returned to the room.

I told Chen Xueru and it’s ready!

"As long as you don't lack anything, that's good! Xu Huizhen's tavern officially closed on January 5th.

There is nothing to sell inside, and not many people go there. Even Niu Ye and Pian Ye rarely go there. They are looking for wine to earn more money and prepare for the New Year!

Xu Huizhen's tavern has been running for more than half a year, but she hasn't made a penny, so she has to close it first! "Chen Xueru smiled.

"Xu Huizhen's tavern is closed, what are you laughing at?" Cao Dongfang asked.

"That was Xu Huizhen's doing. She annoyed Niu Ye and Pian Ye so much that they no longer go to the tavern. There are fewer and fewer people there!" Chen Xueru gloated a little.

"Yes, whether the tavern sells wine or not, its popularity is very important. Did Fan Jin go find some grain to make wine?" Cao Dongfang asked with a smile.

"Fan Jinyou only knows how to use his mouth, and the price of coarse grains is about one yuan per pound. How much is the appropriate price for Xu Huizhen's homemade wine?

If there are fewer, they won’t make any money. If there are more, you think few people can afford it. It’s better to close the store.”

"You think everything is fine when other shops are closing, but you get anxious when your own shop is about to close. I despise you." Cao Dongfang despised Chen Xueru's behavior.

"That's different. My shop can't be closed, but other people's can!" Chen Xueru has her own ideas.

"We made some money before the New Year and started making clothes," Cao Dongfang asked.

"Some people come here to make clothes. After all, this area is not small. Business is okay, but it will be no longer good after the New Year." Chen Xueru was a little helpless.

"Whether you can keep it open or not, just let everyone know that you are still open. How much money you make is not an issue!" Cao Dongfang didn't care about a small shop.

"Too!"

......

"Hello Uncle Dongfang, you're back." Hou Kui greeted him at noon the next day.

"You're back, with your cake, fried chicken and Coke. How do you feel about going to school for half a year?" Cao Dongfang asked Hou Kui.

"Thank you Uncle Dongfang. It feels good to go to school. There are many people playing together!" Hou Kui was happy because he had delicious food.

"It's OK as long as you feel you can do it! Is there anyone bullying you at school?" Cao Dongfang asked.

“No, we are all about the same age, no one will bully others.” Hou Kui said.

"That's fine. Let's go eat cake and fried chicken." Cao Dongfang said.

“Thank you Uncle Dongfang!”

"Hou Kui has fried chicken and cake at noon. What are we going to eat?" Chen Xueru asked.

"If you want something simple like wontons, you can order some dishes if you want something more complicated!" said Cao Dongfang.

“Keep it simple!”

"Dongfang, the wontons you make seem to be much more delicious than ours. The soup is still the same and the ingredients are the same, nothing has changed!" Chen Xueru asked.

"It's about personal level. With the same ingredients, your level will not be the same as that of the chefs in the restaurant. The same goes for making wontons!" said Cao Dongfang.

"Uncle Dongfang's food is just better than what my mother cooks!" Hou Kui said from the side.

"Hou Kui, are you itching for trouble? Be careful or I'll beat you up." Chen Xueru's little face!

"Getting angry out of shame! Hou Kui, when you are eating, don't tell women that they are not as good as others, or you will be beaten by them, especially boring women like your mother!"

"Got it, Uncle Dongfang!"

......

In the afternoon, Cao Dongfang went straight home and had mutton hotpot in the evening, which included mutton, tofu, and vermicelli.

Cao Dongfang went to the steel rolling mill and put a five-jin portion of braised pork and a five-jin portion of mutton soup, as well as a pack of Camel cigarettes, into his big bag, which he gave to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li got what he wanted, Aunt Li gave birth to a big fat boy for him!

Now the Li family finally has a successor, from the birth of the child in October to Cao Dongfang's return last New Year's Day.

Uncle Li is always smiling and speaks gently to everyone. You can tell at a glance that good things are going to happen!

The factory was quite considerate of an old veteran who was over 50 years old and gave him 50 kilograms of flour, 5 kilograms of meat, and 5 kilograms of oil.

People in the factory also expressed their congratulations to Uncle Li!

Uncle Li's mouth was grinning with joy!

"Uncle Li! You are busy, why don't you go back to see your son?" Cao Dongfang said to Uncle Li.

"Dongfang is back, that's great. All the employees in the factory are looking forward to your return. The New Year is coming soon and everyone needs meat.

The country gave us 10,000 kilograms of meat and bones, which is too little! There is not much meat left! "

"Uncle Li wants to eat meat. This is easy. Give him a pack of cigarettes, a portion of braised pork, and a portion of mutton soup, all in five-jin packages!

Take it back and eat it! "
