"It's time to eat, it's time to eat. Director He's rations are really good. Today, we're having eggplant and braised pork. Yu Li, what are you doing?"
Yan Jiecheng ran in from outside happily. He had helped for two days. Although he had been deducted by the Third Master, at least he had been doing well for the past two days.
Seeing Yan Jiecheng's happy expression, Yu Li felt a wave of frustration in her heart.
They were all old men who lived in the same courtyard. Why was there such a huge gap between them? This guy was already satisfied with three big steamed buns and one dish. Director He was already a popular person in front of the factory director at such a young age. Moreover, he was now the chairman of the trade union.
Why didn't he know how to learn from her?
"Dad, there are clearly six big steamed buns for a meal, but you insist on putting three. We'll eat the leftovers from lunch at night, and then we'll eat the leftovers from tonight tomorrow morning.”
When Yan Jiefang saw that the steamed bun in his hand was from the previous meal, he felt uncomfortable.
According to He Yuzhu's rules, the two brothers went over to help. He Yuzhu was responsible for lunch and dinner. Each person would get three big steamed buns and a dish.
He could have eaten very well.
In the end, Third Uncle deducted half of all the food and had to finish the leftovers before they could eat properly.
"What do you know, kid? Silly Zhu's house is about to be renovated. Do you think there's such a good thing? These steamed buns and vegetables can last for two to three days.”
Third Uncle's words were also exceptionally reasonable. Anyway, as long as he said these things, no one in the family could beat him.
"Don't you like to eat eggplant and braised pork the most? Why are you unhappy?"
Yan Jiecheng ate the cornbread in his hand. He thought that his wife would eat happily, but who knew that Yu Li's face was full of wrinkles.
"Hurry up and eat. I'm not feeling well today.”
Yu Li clearly realized that if she continued living in such a family, no matter what thoughts she had in her heart, they would be wiped clean by life.
"Dad, seeing that Director He has been promoted, should the two brothers and I look for jobs? If it's possible, we can work as apprentices first.”
Other than the third uncle, no one else in the family had a proper job. Now that He Yuzhu was a high-ranking person in the factory, as long as she could say something, she could at least increase her income a month. The whole family's attention was on the eggplant braised meat. Yu Li really hated this little bit of townsfolk's consciousness.
"Old man, daughter-in-law is right. Seeing that our family is living such a hard life, if one of the two brothers can work, it can also make our lives a little better. Why don't you buy something and go over to take a look?”
Third Aunt had long noticed that her daughter-in-law was getting more and more dissatisfied with her son. Who would be so old that they had to eat at home every day? She was not happy either. When she set Yu Li up on a blind date, she had promised that she would have a job. She had coaxed her to get married. If she did not do anything, she reckoned that her days would not be long.
"Don't worry about it. I'll go over and take a look after dinner. I'll bring the mountain mushrooms that Xu Damao gave me previously.”
Third Uncle also knew that this was a serious matter, but he had calculated too much usually. Even this string of mountain mushrooms was conflicted for a long time.
"Dad, this is not a small matter. It concerns the work of the two brothers. What's a bunch of mushrooms?”
Yu Li really didn't know what to say to this stingy old man.
Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang had learned it from his father. They didn't think much of it. Instead, they felt that a string of mushrooms was enough.
"If our dad has an idea, then don't say anything. Hurry up and eat your food.”
Hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, Yu Li almost fainted. With your father's way of doing things, not to mention finding you a job, he might even offend you with this string of mushrooms.
He was now a popular person in the steel mill. It was said that he had received 300 yuan just from the bonus. Would he be interested in this bunch of broken mushrooms?
At this moment, He Yuzhu was fighting with mushrooms.
Rainy wanted to eat stir-fried meat with mushrooms at night. Although He Yuzhu's house was not suitable for living in, it did not delay cooking.
In a short while, He Yuzhu finished cooking the mushroom stir-fried meat and also made a vinegar fish.
"Brother, the lunch box you brought back is already not bad. Why do you still want to cook?”
He Yuzhu brought back some eggplant meat from the canteen. Although there was only a little meat, it was not bad for people in this era. However, He Yuzhu gave all of it to the workers and did not let He Yuzhu eat it.
"You silly girl, that's the leftovers from others. There are so many old men drinking and eating. Who knows how much saliva there is in there?”
Hearing He Yuzhu's words, He Yushui stuck out her tongue. As her brother said, the food was not as delicious as the food cooked by the two of them at home.
Qin Huairu, who was in the room next door, almost fainted when she heard that. It was already good enough that there was food to eat these days. Was there a need to be particular about it?
Now that Qin Huiru was alone at home, a bowl of cornbread and a bowl of water was Qin Huiru's dinner for the night.
This was something he had taken from an old man.
Initially, Qin Huiru had wanted to go over and freeload. However, since First Master had such thoughts, he would not allow Qin Huiru to interact with the two girls. Hence, he simply gave Qin Huiru a cornbread and sent her back.
"Take that steamed bun and eat it at the old lady's place tonight. Don't go to Haitang's place tonight. Squeeze at the old lady's place.”
Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, He Yushui nodded. However, Qin Huairu, who was standing at the side, almost fainted.
How could she swallow the cornbread in her mouth? She just wanted to go over and bask in the light when the two of them were eating. She did not expect He Yuzhu to actually bring it to the old lady. She did not have the face to go to the old lady's place to freeload.
This damned idiot really won't let me take any benefits.
Last night, Qin Huairu had already made preparations. As long as she could eat her fill, He Yuzhu would do whatever he wanted. Who knew that he would not return that night?
He was clearly prepared to die a righteous death, but who knew that the executioner did not come in the end…
This made Widow Qin quite depressed.
"What smells so good?"
This was Lou Xiao'e's voice. When He Yuzhu came over with the dishes, Lou Xiao'e happened to be at the old lady's place. She usually helped the old lady with her work, which was enough to prove this girl's kindness...
