1962, Beijing.
Yang Jianguo carried a pound of pork and walked home with a smile on his face.
With this pound of fat pork, not only could he eat a good meal, but he could also refine some oil to satisfy his craving.
In this day and age, anyone who said that they would be thin would definitely be seen as a fool.
In the 1960s, people didn't have much money in their stomachs.
When eating meat, one had to pick the fatty ones. The fatter they were, the more fragrant they were.
Just the 500 grams of fat in Yang Jianguo's hand would make the yard cry when he went home to cook it.
However, when he thought of the courtyard house he lived in, Yang Jianguo's expression changed.
After three months, he was sure that he had transmigrated to the Love Courtyard.
The Deaf Granny, the three stewards, Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi…
There was also He Silly Zhu, who made people's hearts ache so much that they gritted their teeth and felt that he deserved it.
As his thoughts churned, the courtyard gate was right in front of him.
Third Uncle, who lived in the front yard, was watering at the door when he saw Yang Jianguo coming in with meat.
When Third Uncle saw the pork in his hand, his eyes widened."Jianguo, I bought some meat. Do you want to drink some tonight? The good wine that I have hidden is going to benefit you tonight.”
I'm lucky? Yang Jianguo sneered in his heart.'You want to freeload off me with your fake wine that has been mixed with water?'
…Did you drink too much fake wine?
"Third Uncle, I think it's fine if you drink and cause trouble.”
As he spoke, he entered the courtyard from the front yard and walked towards his own home.
Behind him, Third Uncle wanted to say something, but seeing that he had walked away, he could only curl his lips listlessly.
This Yang Jianguo had no manners at all.
The Yang family lived in the middle courtyard. There were two attached penthouse rooms. The area was not big, about 30 square meters in total.
Previously, his parents and Yang Jianguo lived together. The couple shared a room while Yang Jianguo shared his own room.
When he transmigrated, his father had an accident in the factory and was gone.
His current job was just like his father's, a riveter at the Red Star Rolling Mill.
His mother was too sad and followed him a few days later.
Now that Yang Jianguo was living alone, it was quite spacious.
In this day and age, it was common for four people to live in a ten-square-meter penthouse.
A bachelor with two rooms was considered a good condition in the capital.
For example, a salary of 37.5 yuan for Silly Zhu, a side room, and a side room were the best conditions.
Unfortunately, he wasn't smart and his father wasn't reliable. He ran away with the widow.
He seemed to be surrounded by good people, but in fact, none of them were sincere about him. He had been led astray by a group of beasts.
If the deaf old lady had not treated him like a grandson and schemed for him, Old He's family would have been extinct.
However, this plan had tricked Lou Xiao'e…
"It's none of my business. Why are you thinking so much?”Shaking his head and mocking himself, Yang Jianguo carried the meat into the house.
There was a bed, a wooden table that was swaying with a crippled leg, and two small wooden stools that he had made himself.
There was a clay stove near the door, and the house was bare.
However, every family was the same these days. No one was better off than the other.
The poorer one was, the more glorious one was. Was that a joke?
At this moment, under the door and window of the main room in the middle court, a pair of triangular eyes stared at Yang Jian's country door with jealousy.
"This Yang Jianguo, whose parents are dead, isn't he afraid of bursting to death by eating so much meat alone? We've been neighbors for so many years, but he doesn't even know how to help our family when he buys meat. He deserves to be missing his parents…"
Jia Zhangshi cursed under her breath, making Qin Huairu, who had just returned from dinner, feel extremely tired.
As her mother-in-law, why couldn't she see others doing well?
Why should Yang Jianguo buy meat for you?
If you want to eat, you have to give money. Which family in the capital doesn't want to eat meat?
Besides, when Yang Jianguo's parents left, you didn't help them.
On the contrary, he had plotted against the other party's house and caused a huge ruckus. His relationship with the other party, which was originally not much, had completely cooled down.
Now you still expect people to help you? What kind of brain is that?
However, she only dared to say this in her heart. No matter what, she still had to live.
"Mom, stop staring at the courtyard. Let's eat!”
Cabbage, rice paste, and a few coarse grain steamed buns were the Jia family's dinner.
Jia Zhang-shi looked at the dishes on the table with a mean expression." Aren't you afraid of damaging my grandson's throat by eating these?"”
Qin Huairu's face darkened as he forced a smile.""When Silly Zhu comes back, I'll see what he brought.”
"That's more like it. You and the money-losing thing eat first. My grandson and I will wait for Silly Zhu.”
Jia Zhang-shi hugged her grandson in her arms and told him to wait for a good meal with her. She cursed,"This idiot didn't come back early all day. My grandson has lost weight from hunger.”
The stick in his arms nodded in agreement. What a silly fool. He didn't know to come back earlier. He was hungry.
Qin Huairu lowered his head and ate the coarse grain without saying a word. He felt even more aggrieved.
Back then, why did he take a fancy to the Jia family?
Yang Jianguo quickly washed the meat and separated a thick piece of fat from it.
He cut the remaining pieces into pieces, poured oil into the pot, added some pepper, fragrant leaves, and red pepper, stir-fried them, and poured water to cover them.
Soon, the fragrance of the meat filled the entire courtyard.
Jia Zhangshi, who was waiting for the lunch box at home, swallowed her saliva. Her triangular eyes were filled with malice." This damn Yang Jianguo. He has so much meat and fish in the sky. He's not afraid of eating to death. With his way of eating, he'll be out of business sooner or later."”
She was already so hungry that she cried." Grandma, I want to eat meat. I'm hungry…"
Jia Zhangshi quickly hugged her grandson tightly." Aiyo, my dear grandson, don't cry."”
Seeing that she couldn't coax him, Jia Zhangshi was also hungry. She went up and snatched the cornbread from Little Dang's hand.
"Good grandson, let's eat some cornbread first. When Silly Zhu comes back, there will be meat to eat.”
" I don't, I don't, I want meat, meat…"
Little Dang also cried.
