As evening fell, Chen Jun returned to the courtyard carrying a piece of pork shoulder.
As soon as I entered, I saw the Third Uncle Yan Bugui.
Judging from Yan Bugui's smile, he must have thought of a way to scheme against others, otherwise he wouldn't be standing in the courtyard all by himself.
"Chen Jun, it seems Yu Li is pregnant," Yan Bugui greeted him with a smile.
What is that?
Chen Jun was taken aback. What did Yu Li's pregnancy have to do with him? He and Yu Li were completely innocent, and they rarely spoke to each other even when they met.
"Hey, your steel mill is slaughtering pigs today, right? Could you sell me some meat? My family has run out of meat coupons for this month."
"Well, you know, my daughter-in-law is a bit weak, so she needs to eat some meat to nourish herself."
As he spoke, Yan Bugui glanced at the pork belly hanging on the handlebars.
Sigh, Chen Jun is so foolish!
As the canteen manager, why don't you serve some fatty meat or pork belly? Why serve so much lean meat?
Young people just don't know how to manage their lives.
Chen Jun frowned, somewhat speechless, upon hearing this.
Who did Yan Bugui learn this habit from? If he wants to buy meat cheaply, he should just buy meat cheaply. Why bring up Yu Li's pregnancy, especially since it seems like she is pregnant?
Anyone who didn't know better would think that Yu Li and he were having an affair.
However, it must be said that Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng have been married for quite some time, and there has been no news of Yu Li being pregnant.
Could it be that one of the couple has a problem?
"Hey, could you sell me this piece of meat?"
Seeing that Chen Jun didn't speak, Yan Bugui went straight to the point, wanting to buy the piece of pork without spending any meat coupons.
"Alright, since Jiecheng's wife is pregnant, then take it."
Since Yan Bugui has already asked, we might as well sell it to him.
Chen Jun generously handed over the pork shoulder. He was not short of meat at all; he could eat more than he could eat, not to mention pork.
"Hey, go home and weigh it first, I'll come get it later."
Although it's a bargain, Yan Bugui will still pay the money; one thing at a time.
Chen Jun shook his head and stuffed the meat into Yan Bugui's hand: "Third Uncle, you can weigh it yourself."
"Okay, I'll have Yu Li deliver the money later."
Yan Bugui looked at the meat in his hand with a smile. He had bought the meat at the market price without using any coupons, which meant he had gotten a great deal.
You won't get poor from eating or dressing, but you will get poor if you don't plan ahead. This is Yan Bugui's philosophy of life.
Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, and the others returned to the courtyard one after another, each carrying some meat in their hands.
At dinner time, the entire courtyard was filled with the aroma of meat, which made Jia Zhangshi and Bang Geng very hungry.
"It's all your mother's fault. She's as lazy as a pig and won't go to the steel mill to get pork. As a result, we can only watch others eat today."
Jia Zhangshi squatted on the threshold, brainwashing the drooling stick next to her.
"My mom is so lazy!"
The little brat chimed in, still not really understanding the concept, basically believing whatever Jia Zhangshi said.
But talking about it doesn't really satisfy my craving!
The aroma of stir-fried meat, stewed meat, and fried meat mixed together creates an incredibly irresistible flavor.
"Grandma, I want to eat meat."
Jia Zhangshi sighed. She wanted to too, but it was the end of the month and her family had run out of meat coupons.
As they were talking, Jia Zhangshi caught a glimpse of Xu Damao coming out of the house, carrying a stool in his left hand and a bowl in his right, with a white steamed bun in the bowl.
In the sweltering summer, the house is not as cool as the yard, so many people come to the yard to eat.
Jia Zhangshi and Banggeng were like that, but instead of eating, they were squatting on the threshold smelling the aroma of meat in the yard.
Even if you can't eat it, smelling it a few times is still a bonus.
"Grandma, a bad person!"
Bang Geng pointed a finger at him. In his memory, Xu Damao was not a good person. He had never allowed him to carry anything since he was a child, and had even spanked him.
"Ah, this free meat tastes so good! I can eat three big steamed buns with just one bowl of it!"
Hearing the cricket chirping at him, Xu Damao didn't yell back, but instead boasted about how delicious the meat in his bowl was.
As he spoke, he picked up a large piece of fatty meat from the bowl, put it in his mouth, and began to chew.
"Hmm, the fragrance has me completely mesmerized!"
"Wow~~~ Grandma, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!"
I want to eat meat now!
You know what, Xu Damao's trick actually worked quite well, making the hamster drool with envy.
"Smack, smack, whew, the fatty meat smells delicious, the lean meat is chewy, wife, your cooking skills have improved again!" Xu Damao became even more smug upon seeing this.
You little brat dare to insult me? I'll make you cry, you little brat!
Xu Damao's wife, Hou Guifang, was unaware of the situation and replied that the stir-fried meat today was made with the sauce Chen Jun had given her, which was why it smelled so good.
"Oh, I see. That explains why the meat was so delicious today; I wouldn't trade it for money!"
Xu Damao deliberately shouted towards the stick, which angered Jia Zhangshi so much that she stood up.
"Xu Damao, get out of here!"
Bang Geng cried loudly, which broke Jia Zhangshi's heart.
That damn Xu Damao, he's definitely doing this on purpose. He bullied Dongxu before, and now he's even bullying such a small dog. He's inhuman!
"You think I have to go home just because you tell me to? Who do you think you are?!"
Xu Damao retorted directly. This was exactly the result he wanted. How was he supposed to crave the sticky rice cake when he got home? This brat called him a bad guy as soon as he saw him. It was already a favor that he didn't slap him a couple of times.
Of course, even if Xu Damao wanted to smoke now, he couldn't. He was bumped by the fat pig this morning and strained his back. It will take him ten days to half a month to recover.
"If you don't come home, you'll have to pay compensation. You made my precious grandson cry, you have to take responsibility!"
Madam Jia, cursing, picked up the stick and stormed over to Xu Damao.
Xu Damao was not intimidated at all; he believed his ability to hurl insults in the street was no less than that of Jia Zhangshi.
"Pay my ass! I'm eating in my own backyard, what's it to you? Your little brat is crying because he's greedy, go buy him some meat!"
"You dare to swear!"
Madam Jia was furious. She felt that Xu Damao was not only unreasonable, but he also dared to insult her mother.
"You bad guy, you bad guy!"
Banggeng helped Jia Zhangshi argue, but as the argument went on, his attention turned to the bowl of meat.
It smells delicious!
It smells so good!
Especially the top few layers of fat, so oily and tempting!
Finally, Banggeng couldn't hold back any longer. While cursing Xu Damao as a bad person, he reached out to snatch Xu Damao's bowl.
Ouch?
Xu Damao raised an eyebrow in surprise; he hadn't expected that this little brat Bang Geng would be so bold.
They actually dared to steal things?
So Xu Damao pushed the stick without thinking.
Banggeng staggered back a few steps and then sat down on the ground with a thud.
Wow!!! Wow!!!
