I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

On the morning of January 3rd, Cao Dongfang drove out of the steel rolling mill and continued to distribute January's benefits to everyone, starting from Uncle Guan's home and all the way to the people in the compound.

In the courtyard, the first time that Yan Jiecheng's family was given benefits, there was still no benefit for Yan Bugui. When Cao Dongfang saw Yan Bugui, he simply ignored him, as if Yan Bugui was just air.

"Cao Dongfang is so generous. He gave me five catties of pork belly, five catties of mutton, five catties of flour, and five catties of oil. The meat and fruit were canned in bottles.

Half of the people in the compound have it. I heard that the relatives of military martyrs and lonely elderly people on the street have it! It has been distributed for many years, starting when Cao Dongfang was still a minor.

How much money does this cost, five times a year? How rich is Cao Dongfang? I can’t imagine it, he is so rich.

We can also have mutton tonight, mutton soup or mutton hot pot. "Yu Li was quite conflicted.

There is still not enough money in my family. I should let Jie Cheng and I both go to work so that our income will be higher.

If you work hard, life will be good.

It’s a pity that Yan Bugui didn’t find a job for Jie Cheng.

Cao Dongfang doesn't even want to borrow money, he just wants to avoid paying it back, it's really speechless what Yan Bugui is saying.

Can't he figure out the benefits of having a formal job? Xie Cheng discussed it with him after get off work. This time, even if he had to borrow money, he had to buy a job as a worker.

The solution is that I will be thirty soon, I can’t afford to delay, and I can’t be a part-time worker forever. That’s it, I’ll tell you tonight!

.....

It’s almost noon and it’s too late to do anything. The lunch at the steel mill is not bad. I’ll do it in the evening and still eat the steel mill’s food at noon.

At almost five o'clock in the afternoon, the smell of mutton soup wafted from the courtyard again. Six or seven families were making mutton soup.

The smell of the mutton soup in the courtyard is so strong that you can smell it from far away.

"Yu Shui's dinner isn't mutton soup, so what are we going to eat? I could smell the mutton soup before I even entered the yard. Cao Dongfang has distributed benefits for January again." Sha Zhu asked He Yu Shui after get off work.

"Yes, I sent it this morning. We're having shabu-shabu mutton tonight. I'm craving it. I just want to eat pure meat now. I had braised pork at Dongfang brother's house at noon.

I have eaten more than a pound of meat, but I still want to eat meat. I only want to eat meat when I am not in school! "

"How much meat did Cao Dongfang give you? For hot pot, we need at least 7 or 8 kilograms of mutton slices. How much did you give out?"

"Brother, you are so annoying! If I let you eat mutton hotpot, it must be enough! I have 20 kilograms of mutton slices, which is enough for you to eat, even if you eat a lot!"

He Daqing, "Then let's eat mutton hotpot. I haven't eaten it for several years. We didn't have mutton slices before.

After dinner, go get some food from your father-in-law's house! What else can you do with the rain? "

"Dad, no need, it's all done, add water to the pot, it's about to boil!"

“Then eat it!”

"Yushui, did you mix this seasoning or did Cao Dongfang mix it? It's delicious."

"Brother Dongfang's mix is ​​better than what you make!"

"A little bit stronger, just a little bit, not much." Sha Zhu said stubbornly.

"Haha, just brag."

"Yushui, what is Cao Dongfang doing at home?"

"Looking after the kids, cooking, and all that stuff, brother, shouldn't you also do housework at home? Brother Dongfang is a general.

We all do housework, so shouldn't you clean my room as well?" He Yushui asked Sha Zhu.

"He Yushui is going too far. I am doing your housework, what are you doing? This is not okay!"

"You don't work, you only know how to eat, I despise you!" He Yushui muttered. "He Xiao, eat some meat, is Auntie's mutton hotpot delicious?"

"It's delicious and the meat is easy to chew!" said He Xiao.

"It's delicious. I won't give it to your dad tomorrow."

"He Yushui, you are so stingy."

......

"Dongfang, you gave them a bath and they didn't cry or make a fuss. They even smiled at you. Why didn't you smile at me?" Song Xianxian was jealous.

"They like taking a bath, and I make them comfortable. They have been laughing for several days. They can laugh if they want to. It means they are happy and like it this way," said Cao Dongfang.

"They can roll over now, and they know they are playing, so they sleep less! Will they become noisy in the future?"

"This is normal. Children are like this as they grow up. As long as they don't make a fuss, it's no big deal. Boys have more energy than girls.

Most of the time, children are fussy because they are hungry, have urinated, or are not feeling well.

Since the end of the confinement period, my son has been playing with his eyes open on his own, no need to worry about him.

But people should not leave their side, just let them know that there are people around them.

Children are sometimes troublesome! "

“I see. Got it.”

......

"Jie Cheng, you're back. Change your clothes and get ready to eat. Cao Dongfang is giving out benefits today, and ours is one of them. I've cooked all the mutton.

Eat more later to replenish your energy. It’s too tiring to work odd jobs outside! "

"Cao Dongfang is distributing benefits, and some of them belong to us. We have separated and moved out. It has nothing to do with Yan Bugui. You and I have never plotted against Cao Dongfang, so it is normal for some of them to belong to us."

"Don't you know what Cao Dongfang does specifically? It seems like he doesn't have to go to work. He's been away from home for half a month and stayed at home for three days!" Yu Li wanted to know about Cao Dongfang.

"I don't know. Cao Dongfang is a steel mill driver. He does this to take care of his family. Everyone knows this. His mother also said so.

Cao Jiajia was less than six years old at that time.

Cao Dongfang was also a general in the Central Military Department ten years ago.

The two jobs pay 440 yuan a month, which is not enough for Cao Dongfang to spend. He is working for the country.

Why work for the country? No one in the compound asked, but they knew it was not easy.

When he got married in June of the year before last, many important people attended. There were two pieces of calligraphy by the great elders in Cao Dongfang's home.

There are also six 'Special Merit Medals'.

A 'May 1st Special Medal'.

I don’t know anything else.” Yan Jiecheng briefly explained.

"Jie Cheng, change your clothes and wash your hands first, then we can talk slowly!"

...

"Jie Cheng, do you know if there are any jobs left in the steel mill?"

“Also, it’s not easy to get into a steel mill. The minimum salary for a position is 800 yuan.

The food in the steel rolling mill is very good. Each person gets at least six kilograms of meat per month. Last year and the year before, when there was more meat, each person got ten kilograms of meat per month.

They all eat fine grains and use a lot of cooking oil, all of which are given by Cao Dongfang.

It is not easy to get into the steel rolling mill, but now there is a factory that you can get into if you have money. It is the municipal food factory, not far from our home, and it takes less than half an hour to walk to work.

I worked odd jobs there. They are expanding and hiring people, and each job pays around 500! "Yan Jiecheng wanted to go to the food factory.

"I've heard about the food and benefits at the steel mill. If a thousand yuan is enough, that's fine! I can't get in. I don't know anyone, so there's nothing I can do.

Then go to the food factory. We will buy you a job even if we have to pay for it. You can't do odd jobs anymore. This won't work.

The jobs are unstable and the wages are low.

Why didn't your father borrow money from Cao Dongfang to buy a job?

After eight years, you are just an ordinary person, at least a second-level worker, and if you are a little better, you can be a third or fourth-level worker.

How much he earned then, how much he earns now, won’t he calculate? Purely brainless. “Yu Li looked down on Yan Bugui.

“Alas, I wasn’t familiar with Cao Dongfang back then, and my dad said there would be no problem with the job...Alas..." Yan Jiecheng didn’t know how to blame himself, so he had to push the blame onto Yan Bugui.

"Jiecheng, eat meat. You ate too poorly before. Eat more meat. It's hard to do odd jobs!

"good!"

Yan Jiecheng was very touched after hearing this. He thought his wife was so nice. She knew that he worked hard and had not eaten well before, so she let him eat more meat to make up for the loss.

"Jie Cheng, if we borrow 500 yuan from Cao Dongfang for our jobs, who of us can borrow it?"

“Borrow money from Cao Dongfang to buy a job, you and Daming can borrow it generously.

Cao Dongfang is not a stingy person. Just don't bother him or plot against him. If you have any problems, just tell him openly and everything should be fine.

I’m just older than Cao Dongfang…” Yan Jiecheng blushed.

"I'll go borrow money tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. We'll have an understanding of how to share the benefits. Jie Cheng, you don't have a formal job and your salary is too low. We can't even have a child. We really can't afford it!" Yu Li still has some brains.

"Alas, we can't afford it. We still have 360 ​​yuan. How much do you want to borrow?"

"Five hundred dollars, it's better not to touch our money! You have a formal job.

We want kids! "
