In the blink of an eye, it was night time and the sky was dark. Shazhu walked in from the main entrance, completely different from the imposing manner he had in the afternoon.
He was dejected like a defeated rooster. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at anyone.
In the afternoon, Silly Zhu went to the restaurant. Yu Li had already convinced the little fatty, so there was no need for Silly Zhu to continue staying at Spring Breeze Restaurant.
He was sent back by Yan Jiecheng.
This was great. Silly Zhu lost his job because he came back halfway today and didn't even get any food.
Silly Zhu's money had been taken care of by Qin Huiru. Even if he wanted to buy some groceries on the way here, he did not have the money to do so.
The Jia family and Shazhu could only sit around the table, staring at each other.
Initially, Qin Huiru was hoping that Silly Zhu would bring food back today, so she did not plan to cook by herself.
In the end, Silly Zhu came back empty-handed. Qin Huiru's wishful thinking was in vain.
Just when everyone was hungriest, the faint fragrance of red braised pork drifted over from next door.
Su Chen was completely unaware that Silly Zhu's family was starving. He happily cooked and ate.
The fragrance of the dishes wafted from him, making the Jia family unable to sit still.
At this time, the rod was physically exhausted and had to eat several bowls of rice every day. It was the time for a young boy to eat his father poor.
He had a stomach full of anger, and it was attracted by the faint fragrance of the dishes. He could not suppress the anger in his heart.
"You said you could find me a job, but you lost it. You said you could bring food, but you lost it too. I think you're just bragging.”
The stick was furious and mocked Silly Zhu.
Silly Zhu knew that he was in the wrong, so he couldn't say anything to the meme. He could only shut his mouth and sit there.
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai brought good news.
He pushed the door open and entered the room, completely unaware of the tense atmosphere in the room.
An old man came to the table and looked at everyone happily.
"I heard from Old Li from the next street today that the rolling mill is going to rehire the retired grade-7 and grade-8 fitters.”
"I retired from the factory, so I can go back to work!”
"Now we don't have to worry about not having enough money.”
First Uncle was beaming with joy as he looked at everyone, hoping that everyone would be as happy as he was.
The atmosphere was originally very heavy, but after hearing the good news from First Uncle, it eased up a lot.
Silly Zhu had no job now and could not earn a single cent. Everyone was worried about how to survive.
At this moment, the appearance of the First Uncle gave them a shot in the arm.
This way, they didn't have to worry about their entire family starving to death.
Qin Huairu beamed with joy as she spoke to the first uncle.
"Congratulations, First Uncle. You can go back and get a large salary now.”
The first uncle laughed and took out some money from his pocket.
He was in a particularly good mood today and was willing to take out the money he usually hid for emergency use.
Anyway, he would soon be rehired. At that time, with his salary as a level-eight fitter, this small amount of money was nothing.
"Awesome, go buy some delicious food and some wine. Let's celebrate together today.”
The first uncle stuffed the money into the stick's hand and patted him on the shoulder.
The stick received the money and a smile appeared on his face.
Finally, she didn't have to go hungry tonight and could smell the fragrance of other people's food.
"I'll go buy it right away."
The stick quickly ran out with the money.
When he ran to the door, he pondered for a moment. Now that he had no job and no pocket money, the old man gave him a handful of two yuan to buy vegetables.
He could at least get some money for running errands.
Thinking of this, he stuffed a piece of money into his pocket and counted it. He could still buy some vegetables with the remaining money.
However, he took the money a little ruthlessly. The first uncle gave him two pieces and took half of it in one go.
The remaining one could only buy some inferior vegetables, not even a bottle of good wine.
The stick meme pondered in his heart. Now that First Uncle was in a good mood, he definitely wouldn't be able to tell anything.
So, he went to a small restaurant that was still open nearby and packed some leftovers that no one bought.
He was smart enough to buy a whole table with just a few cents.
According to the current prices, a catty of lean meat cost 98 cents, and a catty of hind legs cost 90 cents. With the money on the stick, it was impossible to buy these meat.
Therefore, he simply picked some bones. Fortunately, the price of bones was very cheap.
He also added some vegetable leaves that others did not want.
It was just that these dishes were obviously leftovers. The stick pondered and mixed them together so that the portion would appear much more abundant.
The dish was not over yet. The stick rolled its eyes and ran out of the alley.
He knew that there was a counterfeit den not far away. There were many people selling counterfeit cigarettes and alcohol there.
Now that the country was strict, it was too difficult to get a license for cigarettes and alcohol. Therefore, many people sold fake cigarettes and alcohol to the market to make a lot of money.
The stick went to the place where the fake wine was sold. On the surface, it looked like a very ordinary small shop. Most people would not sell it if they came here to ask, but the stick knew their secret code.
"Give me half a Soft Zhonghua."
As soon as he said this, the other party knew that the stick was here to buy fake cigarettes and alcohol.
The shop owner looked left and right and found that there were no pedestrians. Then, he pulled the stick into the shop and carefully closed the door.
"Give me a bottle of Maotai."
He didn't know what kind of fake wine was better. He had only heard of the variety of Moutai, so he simply bought it.
The shopkeeper chuckled and took out a bottle of Maotai from a secret cabinet deep inside the counter and placed it in front of the stick.
"Take it. This is the best. I'll charge you fifteen cents.”
The pedophile's eyes widened. A bottle of fake wine cost fifteen cents?!
This was too expensive.
However, when he thought of the price of the real wine, he gritted his teeth and took out the last fifteen cents he had on him and gave it to the other party.
One had to know that the local wine on the market only cost 30 cents. He did not know what was mixed in this fake wine, but it actually cost 15 cents.
After thinking that there was enough food and wine, he excitedly carried these things and ran back to the courtyard.
An elder was sitting at the table, bragging about his achievements when he was young. Coupled with his status as a level-eight fitter, even if others did not want to hear it, they could only let him be happy.
After all, the First Uncle was the only one who could earn money in such a large group of people.
Yi Zhonghai happily invited him to sit down beside him when he saw that he had returned.
"Let's eat, let's eat. Our days will get better and better in the future.”
Yi Zhonghai's face was flushed. He picked up the fake Moutai and looked at it. He was especially happy.
"It's still a good show of filial piety. It's more interesting to celebrate such a good day with such good wine.”
Yi Zhonghai was so happy that he took a glass of wine and poured it into his mouth again and again. The others buried their heads in their food. They were so hungry that their chests were touching their backs.
By the time everyone recovered, Yi Zhonghai had already drunk half of the fake wine.
