It was January of 1964, and New Year's Eve was coming.
After He Yuzhu borrowed the book, he brought the meat ticket to the market to buy some pork.
He usually didn't buy much, so he had saved up all the meat tickets.
In the end of the year, with the additional two catties of meat from the Spring Festival, he had saved up about 20 catties.
After all, as the class monitor in the kitchen, there was no lack of pork in his usual meals.
He Yuzhu directly bought 20 catties of pork and carried it in a net bag.
He took out ten catties of pork and made them into cured meat. It was also good to eat slowly.
The other ten catties were cut into strips, smeared with honey, and placed in the vent. Coupled with the fact that it was winter now, they could be stored for a long time.
Let's just deal with the Spring Festival like this for now!
He Yuzhu carried the pork and the book as she leisurely rushed home.
When she reached the entrance of the courtyard, she heard a commotion in the front yard.
It was obvious that this was another meeting of the entire academy held by the three elders who had nothing better to do.
To put it nicely, the general assembly of the entire academy was a folk activity similar to the function of the neighborhood committee.
To put it bluntly, he was just blindly joining in the fun.
These three masters still insisted on upholding justice for other people's family matters.
The most ridiculous thing was that these residents also liked to spill their dirty laundry.
It was as if he was afraid that others would not know.
As time passed, the entire assembly became a melon-eating assembly. One could take a bench and grab a handful of melon seeds to watch for the entire afternoon.
They were all idle…
He Yuzhu didn't want to get involved in the Siheyuan. She wanted to take a detour, but she was stopped by Yi Zhonghai.
"Zhu Zi, where are you going?"
In the courtyard, only Yi Zhonghai would call him Zhu Zi and He Yuzhu. The others would call him Silly Zhu.
Although Yi Zhonghai also wanted to rely on He Yuzhu for his retirement, at least he was not as disgusting as the others.
Therefore, He Yuzhu didn't make a face at him. She just needed to distance herself from him silently.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Yi Zhonghai, a level-eight fitter, earned more than 90 yuan a month. He had saved a lot of money over the years.
He had no children, so it was not a problem for him to support his old age.
He, like the deaf old lady, mainly wanted to find someone to send him off.
He Yuzhu thought to himself,"Don't look for me even when you're dying!"
Yi Zhonghai was good to him, but that was only for the past He Yuzhu. The current He Yuzhu did not receive any benefits from him.
He Yuzhu had no feelings for her, only sympathy.
However, sympathy was not the reason for him to send her off.
"Home, of course," he replied lightly.”
"How about this, don't go back yet."
Yi Zhonghai moved closer to He Yuzhu mysteriously, hinting for him to put his ear closer.
"Xu Damao is looking for trouble with Widow Qin's family. The meme will say that he was with you yesterday afternoon. You just have to testify.”
"As for Xu Damao's losses, I'll bear them.”
Yi Zhonghai whispered into He Yuzhu's ear.
In this courtyard, the only one who was willing to cooperate with Yi Zhonghai was He Yuzhu. That was why First Uncle had asked him and not anyone else.
He Yuzhu thought, Is Yi Zhonghai used to being a good guy?
Widow Qin's family is in trouble. Why are you cleaning up her mess?
You're so good, why don't you just keep them as your mistress!
With Yi Zhonghai's salary of more than 90 yuan and Qin Huiru's salary of 27.5 yuan, the seven of them could not even finish the food in a month.
The system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
" Activate mission selection!"
" Option 1: Help Jia Geng smooth things over. Jia Family's Trust Value 10."
"Option 2: Tell the truth and let Jia Geng reap what he sowed. Reward: A God of Cooking Advancement Manual.”
"Option 3: Do nothing, no reward.”
He Yuzhu decisively eliminated the first option.
He was already in a hurry to get rid of the Jia family, so why would he still increase their trust value?
The third option, which had nothing at all, was also decisively abandoned.
That left him with option two.
Yi Zhonghai saw that He Yuzhu didn't say anything and thought that he agreed.
He patted He Yuzhu's shoulder." Then it's settled. Don't drop the ball."”
Yi Zhonghai returned to the crowd, and He Yuzhu joined him.
The crowd automatically formed a semicircle.
Qin Huairu's son stood in the semicircle.
Beside him was Xu Damao, who looked like a traitor. He was tall and thin, with two mustaches.
The three old men sat in front of the square table like judges.
Xu Damao pointed at the stick and said loudly," Three masters, I saw two chicken feathers on him. Isn't that enough evidence to prove that he stole my chicken?"”
"There's irrefutable evidence!"
Jia Geng, also known as Bang Geng, argued,"I didn't steal it! You didn't see it with your own eyes."
"Hey! Didn't you steal it? You don't have chickens at home." Xu Damao glared at him.
The stick meme, on the other hand, had an indifferent attitude.
"Anyway, you didn't see me steal it!"
It was as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
He Yuzhu was speechless.
She was so thick-skinned at such a young age. She was hopeless.
"Qin Huairu, how did you teach this child?”
Xu Damao knew that this little wimp was not easy to get along with, so he scolded Qin Huairu directly.
"Xu Damao, why are you an adult fighting with a child?”
Widow Qin immediately retorted.
"You won't allow my stick to go to someone else's chicken coop and accidentally get chicken feathers on it?”
"Stop farting!" Xu Damao was furious." This is a pheasant! Their feathers were much different from those of a domesticated chicken!”
"What's the difference? I can't tell the difference."
Widow Qin's ability to cause trouble was obvious to all.
He Yuzhu admired her courage to lie without blushing.
At this moment.
He Yuzhu, who was watching the show, was suddenly named by Jia Geng.
"Yesterday afternoon, I was with Uncle Shazhu the whole time. He can testify that I didn't steal the chicken!”
Instantly, everyone's gaze shifted to He Yuzhu.
He Yuzhu laughed in his heart. This little guy was really smart.
If it was the old He Yuzhu, she would definitely help him smooth things over.
However, things were different now.
He despised this little ingrate.
Forget it if he wanted to smooth things over!
He had found the wrong person!
