"Activate!"
Fang Yan muttered.
The system notifications popped up in his mind.
Ding! The storage space has been upgraded to three square meters.
Ding! The reward for pork tenderloin was three catties.
Ding! The reward is three catties of pig oil.
Ding! Reward: 1 jin of salt.
Ding! The reward is five catties of cornmeal.
Ding! He was rewarded with three white radishes.
After seeing the notification, Fang Yan frowned and complained softly,
"Tsk, there's no rice or coal…"
These supplies and the fried fish were enough for him to turn his two meals a day into three meals a day before his brother's salary was paid.
It was just that the weather was so cold that it was really fatal to not have coal to start a fire.
There was still some coal left at home. Fang Yan would use it up by tonight. If the system did not give him any more, he would have to buy it tomorrow.
Fang Yan's system had only awakened a month ago.
It was called the Divine Rejection System.
As the name implied.
Fang Yan had rejected other people's requests for help, rejected other people's help, rejected women's hints, and even rejected promotion and wealth.
All of the above were used to obtain rewards.
The system explained that the greater the impact of the host's rejection on his or her life, the more rewards he or she would receive.
Sometimes, he would even trigger the reward gift bag that he had just received.
It was very difficult to trigger the storage space of the system upgrade this time.
The last time he received a reward was when he had just activated the system. He had been rewarded with a skill called Eidetic Memory.
Last time, it was the reward storage space.
This time, he had finally upgraded the 0.5 square meter storage space rewarded by the system last time.
However, in this era, the storage space was never full.
His stomach was like a bottomless pit. He could swallow as much food as he wanted for a meal.
He could even eat six catties of fat meat, let alone three catties of lean meat.
He was starving and missed the days when his throat was oily.
Fang Yan thought for a moment and put the empty explosive tube in his hand back into his storage space.
As for the fish, he still held it in his hand.
There was no guarantee that someone would come to give him a reward later.
There were quite a number of people in this courtyard who had the face to come and ask for food.
The Siheyuan in South Copper Luogu Alley was a three-entry courtyard, divided into three courtyards: the outer, middle, and back courtyards.
Most of the people living there were employees of the Red Star Rolling Mill.
The middle courtyard was the largest and had the most people.
Usually, when it was time to get off work, there would be people boiling water, chatting, washing clothes, and hitting the children. It was a mess.
Fang Yan's backyard was considered a relatively quiet place.
It was time to get off work today, and many of the workers at the rolling mill had already returned.
The entrance was bustling with activity.
Fang Yan had just entered when he heard someone greeting him.
"Ah, Fang Yan, where did you get this fish?”
Fang Yan turned his head and saw the thin middle-aged man wearing tortoiseshell glasses. He was wearing a blue tunic suit that stuck to his bones.
He had his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. His eyes were smiling so hard that they were squinting. There was a sly glint in his eyes. One look and one could tell that he was a shrewd person.
"Yo!" Fang Yan took a look and greeted,"
"Third Uncle, it's time to get off work."
The person who came was the third uncle, Yan Bugui, who lived in the front yard. His nickname was Old Yan. He was a primary school teacher. His usual salary was only 27.55 yuan a month. In order to support his family, he calculated everything. He was not a bad person, but he was a little stingy and liked to haggle over every detail.
Yan Bugui replied,"
"Hey! I'm not from a steel factory. School hasn't even started yet.”
He changed the topic and asked,
"Hey, tell me, where did you get this fish?”
Fang Yan did not stop and replied casually,
"I got it from the river."
He wouldn't honestly say that he was the one who fried the fish.
The explosives were loose now, but if someone took it seriously, it would be a big problem.
Upon hearing Fang Yan's words, Yan Bugui clearly did not believe him. He watched as Fang Yan walked home and hurriedly asked,
"Yan Jing City is covered in ice. Which river are you going to get it from?”
Fang Yan smiled and continued to play dumb.
"Heh, it's from the unfrozen river."
Yan Bugui almost choked to death upon hearing this answer.
Seeing Fang Yan enter the middle court, he cursed speechlessly,
"Tsk, little brat, you don't know how to share a good place!”
"He's getting more and more f * cking smart. I wonder who he learned it from.”
Yan Bugui, who was cursing, walked into the house, preparing to deal with a few calculations at night.
When he turned around, he saw his daughter, Yan Jiedi, gathering coal to start a fire for dinner.
He was slightly startled, and then his eyes lit up.
On the other side, Fang Yan, who had sent Yan Bugui away, passed through a moon gate and entered the middle court.
At the same time, the system's voice sounded.
Ding! Rejected Yan Bugui's inquiry, received five taels of coarse flour.
Carrying things was indeed a time-tested move, but the reward was not good.
However, Fang Yan had no reason to be picky in this era.
Five taels of coarse flour cost nine cents.
It was better than nothing.
At this moment, in the courtyard house, those who had the means were basically cooking dinner.
It was bustling with people lighting fires and fetching water.
Yi Zhonghai was in charge of the middle court.
Most of them were employees of the Red Heart Rolling Mill. These people basically had three meals a day.
In addition, the factory also gave some subsidies during the holidays.
During the period after the New Year, she could still smell the fragrance of meat.
Fang Yan was carrying a fish. Although everyone was a little surprised to see him, they were also interested in questioning him.
At this moment, a pretty figure wearing a flowery cotton jacket with her sleeves rolled up caught Fang Yan's attention.
She lifted the curtain and walked out.
This person was Qin Huairu, who had married into the Jia family.
She had fair skin and a voluptuous figure.
Natural charm.
Her pair of peach blossom eyes blinked, looking at everyone with deep affection.
It didn't look like they were raised in the countryside at all.
As soon as she appeared, the men in the middle court looked over at the same time.
At this moment, she was cooking on the honeycomb stove under the eaves of her door.
As she started the fire, she complained to Jia Dongxu about the stock in the house."
"We have 2 taels of coarse vermicelli, 1 tael of vermicelli, half a tael of yellow flowers, and half a tael of soda noodles.”
"There are still many days before the payday."
Meanwhile, Jia Dongxu was concentrating on rolling the tobacco in his hands. Without even raising his head, he said to Qin Huairu,"
"It's okay, Silly Zhu will be back later, you go and stop him. This kid will definitely steal the food from the canteen.”
After saying that, he dipped the cigarette in the saliva on his tongue and wrapped it tightly. He held it in his mouth and went to the stove to borrow a fire. He said vaguely,
"He's blushing when he talks to you. Just go and block him.”
Fang Yan heard everything clearly from the side. He was speechless at Jia Dongxu's logic.
Jia Dongxu inherited his mother Jia Zhangshi's lower limit, always able to come up with these kinds of tricks.
In the original novel, he did not go to work and violate the rules, so he would not have lost his life.
Some things could always be found in daily life after knowing the ending.
Fang Yan did not stop and continued walking towards the backyard.
As soon as she entered the backyard, she saw a tall, middle-aged man with a decent appearance.
He was Yi Zhonghai, the eldest uncle who lived in the middle court.
He was a Level 8 fitter at the Red Heart Rolling Mill.
His salary and status were considered top-notch in the Siheyuan.
At this moment, he was actually waiting outside Fang Yan's house.
He probably heard Fang Yan's footsteps.
Yi Zhonghai turned around and saw Fang Yan.
After his gaze lingered on the fish in Fang Yan's hand for two seconds, he raised his hand with a serious expression and called out to Fang Yan,
"Fang Yan, come here quickly."
"You haven't replied to my letter about what I discussed with you a few days ago.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Yan frowned slightly.
Because he remembered that Yi Zhonghai was not looking for him for anything else, but to ask him to leave the courtyard house.
