The front yard is the third uncle's house.
Yan Jiecheng happily returned home with two sausages. He glanced at the food on the table and said with some pride, "The factory has a new thing today. It's called sausage, and it's made of meat."
"Wife, take it to the kitchen and cut everything."
Seeing this, Yu Li quickly stood up and went to the kitchen with the sausage without waiting for the third aunt to speak.
This scene seems like Yan Jiecheng is ordering Yu Li to do some work, but in fact it is giving his wife a chance to eat a few more bites.
Yan Jiecheng is married, but has not yet separated, so they usually eat together.
The third uncle, Yan Bugui, was a rather stingy person and usually didn't want to eat meat. Yu Li complained a lot about this and even mentioned dividing the family property several times.
If the family did not split up, Yan Jiecheng would have to use the money he earned to support his younger brothers and sisters. If the family split up, Yu Li could ask Yan Jiecheng to hand over his salary.
Although Yan Jiecheng’s current salary is not high, it is not enough for two people to spend it all.
Yan Jiecheng felt that it was inappropriate for his family to separate after raising him so young, so he could only bring some food to Yu Li every now and then, such as canteen treats, stale bread, instant noodles, etc.
"Made of meat, how much did two sausages cost?"
Yan Bugui’s first reaction was that Yan Jiecheng was spending money recklessly. Why did he buy sausage for no reason? Wouldn’t cabbage stewed with potatoes be delicious?
"It didn't cost any money. Our director said that working overtime is not easy, so he gave each of us two sausages." Yan Jiecheng grinned.
He originally planned to buy them with money, but he didn't expect to get two for free after working overtime, which means he earned 40 cents after rounding it off.
When he heard that no money was spent, Yan Bugui's frown instantly relaxed.
"It's good that I didn't spend any money. Then I have to try what the ham tastes like."
After saying that, Yan Bugui seemed to have thought of something and quickly warned: "Jie Cheng, you are not allowed to bring sausages to others in the future."
Qin Huairu's speculation and profiteering left Yan Bugui with a psychological trauma.
Having some money confiscated was a small matter; he was worried that the factory would fire Yan Jiecheng.
Qin Huairu is a living example.
If the factory leaders heard about the speculation, he would definitely lose his job, so Jia Dongxu auctioned off his workstation at home so quickly.
Nowadays, the Jia family seems to be living a comfortable life. The three of them can receive money every month without doing anything. However, this good life can only last for two years at most. Once all the money is spent, life will be difficult.
"Dad, I definitely wouldn't dare!" Yan Jiecheng waved his hands quickly.
After chatting for a few minutes, Yu Li came out of the kitchen carrying a plate.
Seeing this, Yan Bugui pursed his lips and quickly picked up the chopsticks.
The food that comes out of the steel mill canteen is all good stuff and tastes absolutely amazing.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Third uncle, is Third uncle home?"
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Yan Bugui, who was about to pick up the sausage, was startled and the chopsticks in his hand almost fell on the table.
"who?"
Yan Bugui replied impatiently, it was a bit rude to knock on the door at dinner time.
"I, Liu Guangqi!"
"My father sent me to inform you that there will be a meeting at the Central Court later. He has something to say."
Liu Guangqi also knew his limits. He stood at the door and notified everyone of the situation, without any intention of coming in.
"Okay, I'll be there after dinner."
After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he couldn't wait to look at the sausage on the table.
Um???
Why are there only two pieces left?
He is the head of the family after all. Even if he is not allowed to take the first bite, he should at least leave some for himself.
Fortunately, Yan Bugui had a good temper and silently put the only two remaining slices of ham into his bowl.
If this happened at Liu Haizhong's home, the second uncle would have slammed the table in anger and spanked his son.
"Hmm, it tastes good, quite meaty." After taking a bite, Yan Bugui nodded with satisfaction: "How much is a sausage?"
He thought that if sausages were cheap, he could buy two every two weeks, so he could save money on meat.
"Two cents!" Yan Jiecheng lowered his head to eat and stretched out two fingers.
"It's not expensive, but the portion is a little small." Yan Bugui scratched his chin.
Two cents is still acceptable. Buying two is only forty cents, and buying it once every two weeks is acceptable.
After dinner, Yan Bugui carried a bench and went to the central courtyard.
Liu Haizhong did not consult him about this conference. Yan Bugui guessed that it was not a big deal. It was probably because Liu Haizhong wanted to be an official and wanted to say a few words at the conference.
As soon as he sat down, Liu Haizhong looked up and glanced at him.
"What's going on? Where's that kid Xu Damao?"
Usually when there was a meeting in the hospital, Xu Damao would be the one shouting and notifying everyone, but today he didn't come.
Liu Guangqi quickly replied: "When I just notified him, Xu Damao was not at home. He must be working overtime at the factory."
Liu Haizhong waved his hand upon hearing this and said, "Then go call Xu's wife over."
Not every resident is required to attend the general meeting, but at least one representative must be sent.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard a clear sound of a bell.
"Second uncle, why are you in such a hurry? I went to the village this afternoon."
Liu Haizhong looked up and saw Xu Damao walking towards him, pushing his bicycle with his head shaking. Two bunches of garlic and a bunch of dried chilies were hanging on the handlebars.
Ouch!
Being a projectionist is such a great job. Xu Damao never goes home empty-handed when he goes to the countryside to show movies.
If you're lucky, you can get some wild game, chickens or something.
Even if you're unlucky, you can still get some work done, like garlic, mushrooms, etc.
The key is that none of these things cost any money, it’s like picking them up for free.
Xu Damao also likes to show off, so he always hangs it in the most conspicuous place.
"Okay, since you're here, let's start the meeting."
"Don't worry, wait for me to take the things home."
Xu Damao patted the handlebars deliberately, then stopped when he passed by Chen Jun: "Chen Jun, I'm fine. I'll come to your house after the meeting."
Um?
nice one?
Chen Jun nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
Anything that Xu Damao could call a good thing would definitely not be ordinary beef or mutton. It was probably some wild game or some special item.
After Xu Damao put his things away and returned to the middle courtyard, Liu Haizhong cleared his throat to indicate that the meeting officially began.
"Today's meeting is mainly about one thing."
"This matter isn't a big deal, but it's not a small one either. If we don't discipline them, there will definitely be a big mess in the future."
After saying that, Liu Haizhong raised his hand and pointed at Jia Dongxu at the edge of the crowd.
"Jia Dongxu's son went to the backyard to get something again today. He took away the dried fish hanging at the door and the old lady's shoe insoles."
"Although the items have been recovered, hiding the dried fish and shoe insoles together is a waste of food and a shameful act."
