Xiaoyue looked up at Liu Yang, nodded, and sat on the stool, leaning against the table. She took out the candy wrapper from the day and folded it.
That's great. It seems that Father's illness has not recovered yet!
Ever since he could remember, his father had only cooked a few times. Today, Father actually said that he would cook a feast for me!
Just now, Yang Liu had bought some clothes for Xiaoyue.
In addition, he bought rice, noodles, half a catty of meat, and a few eggs.
In the past, even during the New Year, the family had never eaten so well.
Xiao Yue looked at Liu Yang who was busy.
She wondered if her father would still remember what she had done when he recovered.
If Father spent money like this, how would the family live in the future? Xiaoyue sighed.
Father is a patient. I have to take care of him.
If it really doesn't work out, I'll go to the garbage dumps on the street tomorrow to see if there's any scrap metal, glass bottles, plastic paper, or cardboard boxes. I can save them up and sell them for money.
She didn't know what her father's illness would become in a few days.
Xiao Yue patted her head hard. What a headache. It was an endless worry.
Xiaoyue opened the White Rabbit Creamy Candy wrapper and licked it.
Second Uncle's house.
Liu Haizhong leaned back on the recliner with his eyes closed.
Although he could rest for a day on the weekend, he did not idle.
She slept for an extra half an hour in the morning.
In the morning, Second Aunt washed the bedsheets. Liu Haizhong checked the loose table legs and chair legs in the room. He even took the time to wrangle the clean bedsheets with his wife.
Now that the weather was warm, the winter blankets had to be taken apart and washed. Otherwise, when the weather turned cold, they might not be able to do anything even if they were left in the courtyard to dry for three to five days.
Besides, there was no extra cotton at home. Who would take apart and wash the bedding in the middle of winter?
In the afternoon, Liu Haizhong only went out for a while and almost missed the lively atmosphere in the courtyard.
This deaf old lady was really something. She actually thought of locking the door for Liu Yang.
Liu Haizhong shook his head.
"Father!" Liu Guangfu leaned against the closed door and sniffed.
Liu Haizhong opened his eyes.
Liu Guangfu sniffed again.
"I smell that someone in our courtyard is cooking meat.”
In this era, only during the holidays would the average family be willing to cut some meat.
At that time, when big guys cut meat, it wasn't like now when we buy meat and like to have fat and lean meat.
Back then, everyone liked pork with more fat and less lean meat.
Why?
Too much fat can be used to make pork fat.
The oil residue refined with pork fat was not wasted and could still be eaten.
The lean meat that was cut back was cut into small cubes and placed into the jar. He boiled the soy sauce in the pot and poured it into the jar.
The family was so greedy that they could not help but scoop a few pieces of diced meat from the jar and stir-fry them. The family would be happy for a few days.
In this courtyard, it would be a big deal if anyone put meat in their stir-fried vegetables.
Everyone in the courtyard could smell the fragrance. Everyone wanted to take a few more breaths and swallow the fragrance into their stomachs.
Liu Guangfu saw that Liu Haizhong didn't say anything, so he carefully opened the door and stuck his head into the yard. He sniffed hard. He turned around and said,"I smell it. It's the smell from Xiaoyue's house."”
The second aunt came out of the house, patting the noodles on her apron as she dragged Liu Guangfu back into the house and closed the door.
"Liu Yang, that street thug! His grandmother was gone, and no one could control him now.
Not working to earn money was his way of squandering. How much money could he have? Let's see how long we can last."
Liu Haizhong sighed.
"He's still young after all! You don't know the hardships of life."
Lou Xiao'e was sitting at the table in the house, reading a book while eating melon seeds. A faint fragrance wafted into the room.
Lou Xiao'e sniffed hard, turned her head and shouted,""Da Mao! Xu Damao, come over and smell it. Is someone cooking?”
Xu Damao came over and sniffed hard. He opened the window and looked outside.
"It must be Liu Yang! The old lady went to the police station today. The first uncle asked today and said that she would be locked up for three days.
The second uncle's family opposite ours has three sons. Other than during the New Year, his family definitely doesn't bear to eat meat.
He really didn't expect Liu Yang to be living a better life than his family.”
Lou Xiao'e cracked a melon seed and threw the melon seed skin on Xu Damao's face.
"You're the only one who knows how to talk! Doesn't our family eat meat every few days?
When have you ever gone to my mother's place without meat on the table?”
Xu Damao scratched his head. "Am I joking?
But then again... It had been a few years, but she had never seen such a fragrance wafting from the Liu family's house.
I'll go take a look later.
Could it be that Liu Yang had learned how to cook while wandering the streets?”
Lou Xiao'e chewed on another melon seed and spat out the melon seed skin.
"This Liu Yang doesn't have a proper job and he's still so good at spending money. It's not a good thing.”
He had returned from the backyard to watch the show.
Jia Zhangshi was in the courtyard, busy filling the cloth bag with sand.
After a day of exposure to the sun, the sand had dried up.
Tonight, Huai Hua could continue to sleep in sand pants.
These sand pants were good stuff.
The cloth bag was filled with sand, and children who did not know how to poop or pee would wear it at night.
Pee in the sand, and the sand absorbs water, so it won't wet the bedding. This little doll's butt won't turn red.
However, he had to pour the sand out of his sand pants every day to dry it.
It was a little troublesome, but sand didn't cost money.
There wasn't enough sand, so he asked Jia Dongxu to go directly to the moat outside Dongzhimen and shovel two shovels of sand.
The stick was playing with the sand in its hands with Little Dang.
The fragrance coming from the backyard successfully attracted the attention of the stick. The stick guy sniffed hard and shouted,"Grandma, meat!"
Jia Zhangshi also sniffed hard.
"In the backyard, the ones who can afford meat should be Xu Damao's family.”
"No!" Little Dang had already followed the fragrance and ran to the backyard to stand for a while before running back. "It's Xiaoyue's house!"
Jia Zhangshi spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.
"Bah! This prodigal Liu Yang actually had money to eat meat?
Something that was born but no one raised.
Whenever the people in this courtyard cooked something delicious, they would want to give it to the children of each family to taste.
This Liu Family was really tight on their hands. He closed the door and didn't even greet her.
What the hell? These two bastards will die sooner or later!"
A middle-aged woman went to the courtyard to collect the clothes and heard Jia Zhangshi muttering and scolding Liu Yang. She carried the clothes back to the house.
"Liu Yang is a street scoundrel. He cooked meat tonight, and the smell of it filled the courtyard.
Jia Zhang-shi is cursing in the courtyard."
Yi Zhonghai took a sip of water from his porcelain cup and snorted.
"Street hooligans will always be street hooligans.
Today, he was very proud to deal with Shazhu.
If he ate meat now, he would watch the two of them live on air in a few days.”
Xiaoyue went to bed early after eating. In her sleep, she was giggling.
Yang Liu covered Xiao Yue's belly.
Although this child was not his biological child, he was still a child. Such a young person was sensible and considerate of her. He had to bring her to live a good life.
As for the beasts in this courtyard, whoever provokes me, I will deal with them!
Yang Liu opened the letter and started writing under the dim light.
The Deaf Old Lady ate human blood buns and did things that harmed the interests of the Guo family and the people.
He even thought that he had done it flawlessly.
Good and evil will be rewarded, and the heavens love reincarnation.
The Deaf Old Lady was an enemy spy who had been hiding for more than ten years after her release. It was time for her to receive her retribution.
Since you offended me, I won't let you off!
In the police station's detention room.
At the end of the corridor, in two adjacent rooms. The Deaf Old Lady and Silly Pillar were locked up separately.
Apart from a small window at the top that was connected to an iron railing for ventilation, the rest of the room was airtight.
Originally, the mosquitoes in the room were howling with hunger.
Seeing that someone had come, the mosquitoes in the room became excited.
Even the mosquitoes lurking in the police station's detention room understood. When he caught someone, he had to suck their blood ruthlessly. Otherwise, if this person left, it was unknown when the next person would come in.
The Deaf Old Lady patted the mosquitoes on her face and hands from time to time.
Liu Yang, that dog! If it weren't for you, how could I have ended up in the police station?
Just you wait, kid. Let's settle this score bit by bit!
Silly Zhu was in another room, swatting mosquitoes for a long time.
However, these mosquitoes were like cockroaches that could not be killed. They came one after another.
Silly Zhu slapped until he lost his temper. She pulled her clothes up by the collar and shrunk her neck, hiding her head inside the clothes.
Liu Yang, just you wait! When your Master Zhu gets out of here, Master Zhu will definitely settle this grudge with you.
If I let you go, my surname is not He!
The lights were still on in the director's office.
"Report!" A young policeman shouted from the door.
The director rubbed his swollen temples. The young policeman walked in with a letter.
"Chief, this is a letter that someone just stuffed into the report box.”
The director took the letter, opened it, and read the contents. He slammed the table.
"There's actually such a thing? We must investigate it properly!"
