In this day and age, the lack of living supplies was targeted at the vast majority of people.
As long as one had money, tickets, or items, there was always a chance to buy them in the black market or exchange them.
"Brother, hurry up. Xiao Chen has bought the chicken, duck, and fish…"
In order to have a good meal, He Yushui went straight home after school yesterday.
He Yushui called out to Silly Zhu, but the latter was stunned in front of a few pieces of bacon.
14 catties of cured pork, Silly Zhu divided it into seven portions, each portion was two catties, but this morning he woke up with two catties less meat.
Who stole this meat?
Without thinking, Silly Pillar's first thought was,""It must be that little bastard.”
"Xiao Chen invited everyone in the hospital out of goodwill. He clearly knew that the meat would be cooked today. What were Jia Zhang-shi and the stick stalks thinking? Isn't this a slap to my face?”
Silly Zhu had a very good impression of Yang Chen. He thought that Yang Chen was not only sincere and honest, but also generous.
Under such circumstances, Jia Zhangshi and the stick made Silly Zhu have the urge to beat someone up.
"Let's just get over it today. Jia Zhang-shi, you little bastard, we're not done yet!”
After tidying up his mood, Silly Pillar started to get busy.
Three big pots had been set up in the courtyard. One was for stir-frying, one was for steaming meat buns, and the other was for making soup and steaming vegetables.
"Grandpa Yi, call a few men to kill chickens and ducks. The chicken blood and duck blood are all wasted. Add a dish later…"
"Third Aunt, leave five catties of fresh pork. Don't stuff it all into the meat buns.”
"You idiot, do I need you to remind me?”
"Little Chen, don't be busy. It's your treat today. Just watch from the side…Come and clean up the snakehead fish so that we can stew the tofu later.”
As he spoke, a young man walked into the courtyard with a big hen in one hand and garlic and other farm specialties in the other.
"Hey, what day is it today? Why was it so lively? Second Aunt, is your family getting married? That was not right. With Second Uncle's personality, the wedding banquet would definitely not be so grand. Third Aunt, is your eldest daughter married?”
"Xu Damao, don't you know that my daughter is still in junior high school? See if I don't teach you a lesson…"
As Third Aunt spoke, she picked up the rolling pin and charged at Xu Damao.
"Don't, don't, don't hit me, I was wrong…Third Aunt, I was joking with you just now.”
"Humph, seeing that today is a good day, this old lady will let you off.”
As soon as Xu Damao appeared, Yang Chen confirmed the target at first glance.
Thinking that Lou Xiao'e had already been touched by him, Yang Chen couldn't help but feel happy.
"Silly Zhu, Silly Zhu…"
"I'm listening. If you have something to say, say it.”
"Is it your family's rainwater that you're cooking today?”
"Hi? Are you looking for a beating…Get lost. Don't you know that I don't like you?”
For the safety of his life, Xu Damao left Silly Pillar in time.
Xu Damao quickly figured out the ins and outs of the matter from the mouth of others.
Knowing that the two rooms had flown, Xu Damao looked at Yang Chen with an unfriendly gaze.
However, Xu Damao concealed it well and did not find trouble with Yang Chen.
" Damn it, since you've set up a banquet to treat everyone in the courtyard, it would be a waste if I don't eat..." Xu Damao muttered as he went home to put away the things before quickly walking to the courtyard.
The children of each family played around, and many idle people gathered together to smoke.
Today, everyone's topic was still around Yang Chen, saying that Yang Chen bought a house and a car, saying that his uncle was an officer, saying that he was a generous person, and that the pork he took out was 24 catties.
After hearing this information, Xu Damao, who had originally planned to find an opportunity to deal with Yang Chen, suddenly became dispirited.
"Brother Zhao, you said that Yang Chen has an officer uncle, is this true?”
"At that time, four armed guards followed. Are you serious?”
"Then Yang Chen?"
"His parents have sacrificed themselves. He said that his work relationship has been transferred to our rolling mill. He seems to be a buyer.”
The more he understood, the more Xu Damao gave up.
He had no choice. If he couldn't afford to offend him, he could only treat him as a grandson.
This was also one of Xu Damao's mottos.
As time passed, it was noon. Silly Pillar gave the order and the elders first served the table, followed by the masters of the various households, and finally the women and children.
During this time, Yang Chen personally went to the backyard to pick up the deaf old lady.
"Little Chen, how many dishes are there today?”
"Old lady, a soup with five meat dishes and three vegetables, braised pork, stir-fried pork with green peppers, cold chicken, old duck stewed radish, and beans. Rotten fish, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, peanuts, and chicken blood and duck blood soup.”
Yang Chen's words fell, and the deaf old lady took the initiative to raise her voice: "My old lady has lived in a courtyard house for more than ten years. This is the first time such a sumptuous banquet has been held, so everyone has to praise Xiao Chen.”
The deaf old lady took the opportunity to tell everyone that Yang Chen had her protection.
In front of a big fish and meat, even the hypocrite Xu Damao and the ingrate Jia Zhangshi did not have the mood to play tricks.
After the dishes were served, the first uncle gestured for the masters of each household to fill their wine glasses. Then, he said loudly,"Yang Chen, on behalf of the young and old men of the whole courtyard, I welcome you to stay in the courtyard house. From today onwards, we are in the same courtyard.”
"Thank you so much. Grandpas, grandmas, uncles, and aunties, I'd like to propose a toast to you too.”
After a round of drinking, the first uncle asked, and the Deaf Old Lady gave the order,"Let's eat."
All the children gathered at the table and immediately started eating.
"Don't snatch it. It's mine. It's all mine…"
As he spoke, the stick picked up an entire plate of red braised pork and spat on it at lightning speed.
Witnessing the way the stick was eating, Yang Chen had no idea of eating in his heart, he only felt disgusted.
Feeling Sha Zhu's gaze on the stick, his expression did not change, but one of his hands was tightly clenched.
On the other side, a middle-aged woman took the initiative to remind him,"Jia Zhang-shi, you can eat, but don't spit on it, everyone is watching.”
"Forget it if you don't want to eat it. At most, you can bring it to my house.”
Hearing this, the auntie was speechless.
It was understandable that the young one did not eat well, but what about the old one?
