When Yan Bugui returned home, the first thing he did was to take out an envelope from the interlayer of the mattress.

He took out the money from selling the furniture boards from his pocket and counted it carefully again.

Then he carefully put it away.

Yan Bugui was so happy that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.

The total amount is eight dollars and fifty-six cents.

Because of the farce in the yard.

Yan Bugui made a small profit, so of course he was in a good mood.

And Jiang Bo didn't lose out either.

These furnitures were supposed to be replaced.

Now that Jia Dongxu had smashed it like this, he had earned 500 yuan in total, including compensation for loss of property and mediation fees.

More than enough to buy new furniture.

And what about Yi Zhonghai?

Although he was reprimanded by the street office, his prestige in the yard was also damaged.

but.

The incident was finally resolved smoothly.

He was relieved.

The Jia family is now focused on treating Bang Geng's leg and has no energy to cause trouble.

Although, when the Jia family saw Jiang Bo, they all looked like they wanted to eat him alive.

yard.

It seemed as if peace had been restored temporarily.

Only Shazhu was left, feeling depressed at home alone.

weekend.

He Yushui is about to come back from school.

Sha Zhu really didn't know how to face her.

"I can only keep it secret for now."

He sighed.

Keep it a secret for as long as you can.

He had to save up five hundred yuan and make up for the loss.

He lay in bed and began to think about where to do odd jobs to earn some money on weekends.

……

"Brother, I'm back."

At dusk, He Yushui was walking into the yard with a schoolbag on his back.

The next day was the weekend.

He Yushui is in middle school now.

She came back from school, stayed at home for one night, and went back the next night.

He opened the door curtain and entered the house.

I saw Sha Zhu busying himself, simmering something in a small casserole.

The fragrance is astounding.

"smell good."

He Yushui came closer to take a look.

There was hot soup bubbling in the casserole, with various vegetables chopped into shreds and tied into bundles with vegetable moss, like firewood bundles.

"Chai Ba Duck!"

He Yushui exclaimed.

"That's great! We haven't had this in a long time!"

Although He Yushui did not inherit the true cooking skills of He Daqing, she was influenced by him since she was a child and saw her brother tinkering with various dishes. Therefore, she has seen and tasted many delicious foods.

And this firewood-cooked duck is her favorite.

Ever since the famine began, every household has not had enough food to eat.

Not to mention meat.

Besides, this firewood duck also requires ingredients such as mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and ham, which were all rare delicacies at that time.

It's also quite difficult to do.

So, Shazhu hasn't done it to her for a long time.

Sha Zhu looked at his sister's greedy expression, drooling, and nodded at her on the head.

"Be careful not to drool in the pot."

He Yushui swallowed his saliva and said:

"It seems like the soup is a little low."

Sha Zhu said, "If you don't come back, there will be even less soup."

The food is secondary. He Yushui loves to drink the soup from the firewood-cooked duck the most.

If there is not enough soup, she will feel uncomfortable eating, so she said:

"How about adding some more water?"

As he said this, he picked up the handle of the kettle.

Sha Zhu quickly grabbed her hand that was holding the kettle handle:

"That won't work."

"The most taboo thing about Tan's cuisine is adding more soup or adding juice."

"If you add water, it's no longer the original juice."

"Your brother and I have been tinkering with this after get off work, so please don't ruin it."

As he spoke, he carefully took the casserole down and placed it on the table, covering it with a cloth.

Then he covered the stove with the lid and put the kettle back on.

He asked He Yushui to wash his hands and eat.

He Yushui was a little surprised when he heard him say this:

"Brother, do you mean that this pile of ducks is not used for hospitality at the factory?"

"You made this especially for me?"

Shazhu scratched her nose:

"I calculated with my fingers, my sister is craving this."

"Then I have to arrange it."

"But, to be precise, this is not called a firewood duck, it should be called a firewood chicken."

"There's no duck, so I made it with chicken. I'll make do with that."

He Yushui nodded vigorously:

"Chicken is delicious too. With my brother's cooking skills, rat meat can even be made into a state banquet."

Then she smiled sweetly at him:

"Brother, you are so good to me."

He Yushui didn't notice that after she said this, Sha Zhu's expression looked unnatural for a moment.

But he soon returned to normal.

He handed He Yushui a pair of chopsticks and said:

"Eat quickly. The food won't taste good if it gets cold."

The brother and sister ate and chatted and finished their meal quickly.

He Yushui cleaned up the dishes as usual, but Sha Zhu stopped her.

Just tell her to wash it yourself and let her go and rest.

"Why is my brother so nice to me this time?"

He Yushui felt a little strange, but didn't think too much about it.

Wait until Shazhu has finished cleaning up.

Another half a while passed.

He Yushui couldn't help but say:

"Brother, there's something wrong with you."

Sha Zhu was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"

He Yushui said:

"You usually smoke a cigarette after dinner, why don't you smoke today?"

Sha Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Stop doing."

“Quit?!”

He Yushui's eyes widened.

"The sun is really shining in the west."

"Brother, what has stimulated you?"

Sha Zhu rolled his eyes at her.

"go with!"

"How could you say that about your brother?"

He looked at her and continued:

"A pack of cigarettes costs only 20 cents. I might as well save the money to get married."

He Yushui slapped his thigh and stood up excitedly.

"Brother, are you serious?"

"Why did you lie to me?"

Sha Zhu raised his eyebrows at her and said:

"What? Are you not happy about finding you a sister-in-law?"

He thought about it.

In order to save money, he will change his lavish spending habits in the future.

His sister has been an orphan since she was a child, so she is very considerate.

It is definitely obvious that his living habits are different from before.

Think about it.

I told her that I was planning to save money to get married.

This makes sense.

He Yushui was surprised and happy.

"Brother, you finally figured it out!"

"Great!"

He Yushui had long seen through her brother's feelings for Qin Huairu.

But the couple is living a happy life, but his brother has never found a partner. Isn't this a waste of time for him?

Although her brother looks a bit sorry for the people.

But when it comes to work and craftsmanship, they are all impressive.

In this era, chefs from large state-owned factories are very popular.

Finding a wife is not difficult.

Every time she mentioned this, she was scolded by her brother.

It's nothing more than saying things like "How old are you? Stay out of my business!"

He Yushui didn't dare to say more.

Of course, I know it’s useless to say it, so I won’t say it.

Now, her brother has figured it out.

Find her a sister-in-law in the future so that she can live a stable life.

Moreover, with a sister-in-law around, it would be inconvenient for Qin Huairu of the Jia family to come to her brother for all matters, big or small.

It’s best not to ever ask for boxed lunches.

Thinking of this, He Yushui felt that after being unhappy for such a long time, he was suddenly relieved.

I felt very good immediately.

Even at night, I sleep very soundly.
