In winter, the vegetables were basically only cabbage.
Of course, this was not absolute.
For example, Yang Chen.
On this morning, Yan Bugui first found First Uncle and Second Uncle, and then gathered all the heads of the families in the middle court.
"First Uncle, why is there a meeting again? Did something happen again?"
The person who spoke was Xu Damao, who had been silent and honest for a long time.
Now that his job was stable, his salary had changed from 42.5 yuan to 32.5 yuan.
With ten yuan less and no extra money, Xu Damao and Qin Jingru's living standards had dropped drastically.
"Today is not a meeting of the entire academy. Don't misunderstand. Old Yan, since you're the one who suggested it, why don't you say it?”
Yan Bugui seemed to be standing on the podium. He raised his hand as if he wanted to pick up a piece of chalk, but he didn't.
Others might not be able to see it, but Yang Chen was very sure.
"Everyone knows that this year, our quad can be described as a mess. Don't you think so?”
"That's right. I'm sure everyone has a clear idea of how many things have happened in the second half of the year.”
"That's why we have to make a good start tomorrow! Since we want to make a good start, then the New Year's Day is of utmost importance, right?”
"I say, Third Master, don't beat around the bush. Can you just say it?”
After someone urged him, Yan Bugui said seriously,""This is what I'm thinking. Let's celebrate New Year's Day together. Every family will gather some money and then set up a few tables in the courtyard. Firstly, we can celebrate New Year's Day. Secondly, we can use this happy event to wash away last year's bad luck. Thirdly, we can plan for a smooth next year.”
After Third Uncle made this suggestion, no one present objected.
"I think this suggestion is feasible.”
"That's true. A lot of things have happened this year. Next year should be smooth sailing, right?”
"I'll take it."
"Third Uncle, how much money does each family need to take out?”
"Not much. There are a total of 25 families in our courtyard. Each family has two yuan, so that adds up to 50 yuan. Of course, the Deaf Old Lady's share of the money will naturally be split between the three of us. What do you think?”
50 yuan was enough for several tables, but what about the tickets and ingredients?
Feeling Yan Bugui's gaze, Yang Chen immediately realized: "This old thing actually set his sights on me.”
As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you must steal.
With Yan Bugui's character, since he took the initiative to suggest it, he must have other plans.
"Xiao Chen, you set up five tables for the banquet last year, five tables for Silly Pillar's wedding, five tables for the Deaf Old Lady's 80th birthday…Since you have the means to get the ingredients, why don't I give them to you this time?”
After Yan Bugui's suggestion, everyone focused their attention on Yang Chen.
"Third Master, it's not that I don't want to help, but it's winter now. There are almost only cabbages for vegetables, and there are only a few cattle and sheep left in the factory for meat.”
"Third Master, Little Chen is right. This is also an objective fact.”
"Why don't we not make a big deal out of it. Anyway, it's just for fun. Everyone can just eat casually.”
At this time, Yang Chen's good popularity came into play.
This was not the case, almost all of the people present subconsciously supported Yang Chen.
"Xiao Chen, can you get pork? Not too much, just 10 pounds would do. As for chickens and ducks, we can go to the black market to think of a way.”
Yi Zhonghai was being a good guy again.
"Hmm? I can give it a try. Everyone, wait for my news.”
"Then it's decided. Everyone, go back and gather the money first.”
After everyone dispersed, Feng Wenwen pulled Silly Zhu back home.
"Zhu Zi, there's something strange about this Third Master.”
"What else can I do? Stingy and scheming. Just last night, I saw Yan Jiecheng pulling a girl along on the street, so I guessed that Third Master would ask Yan Jiecheng to bring that girl over on New Year's Day.”
"Sigh, this Third Master is really meticulous.”
Although Yan Bugui was scheming, everyone felt that his suggestion was good.
A few days later, Yang Chen found Yi Zhonghai and told him that pork was not a problem. He could get up to 15 catties at one time.
After the pork channel was confirmed, the three old men began to celebrate the New Year's Day.
But Yang Chen could only say sorry, because New Year's Day was Lou Xiao'e's birthday, so he and Lan 'er would spend it at the Lou family.
On New Year's Day, Yang Chen used the excuse of going out. About an hour later, he returned to the courtyard with 15 pounds of fresh pork.
At the same time, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang each brought a girl to the courtyard house.
One of the women was Ran Qiuye.
Obviously, the reason why Yan Bugui suggested that everyone celebrate New Year's Day together was to make it easier for his two sons to go on blind dates.
His son's blind date was paid for by the entire academy, and it was even successful. This must be Third Master's ability.
"Teacher Ran, what are you doing?"
"It's hard to refuse such kindness. I had no choice but to come."
"Oh? Then you guys can chat first. I still have something to do and will go out for a while.”
If it weren't for Feng Wenwen, Ran Qiuye might have ended up with Silly Zhu.
However, Yang Chen felt that Feng Wenwen was more suitable for Silly Zhu than Ran Qiuye, because Feng Wenwen had some more of the smell of fireworks in the house.
Ran Qiuye was more of an idealist.
Yang Chen also knew the girl brought by Yan Jiecheng. She was the little accountant who came to the rolling mill in the second half of this year, Yu Li.
She had never thought that the appearance of Yang Chen, this graceful butterfly, would not affect Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li.
Yang Chen would not intervene, because it was a private matter of others and had nothing to do with him.
However, it could be foreseen that there would definitely be new people in the courtyard next year.
