Chapter 76: Cook some snacks
"Hey, Huairu, come over here to do the laundry."
The third aunt started talking to Qin Huairu again.
"Yeah, Dingdang peed his pants. There's really nothing we can do about this kid."
Qin Huairu felt helpless.
"The child is still young, it will be fine when he grows up."
The three aunts replied familiarly.
Qin Huairu coming over to chat with the three aunts actually relieved the pressure on Chen Jianye.
After washing the bed covers and quilt covers, Chen Jianye hung them up to dry.
It's time for dinner.
Chen Jianye sat at the door picking vegetables.
He ate white flour buns and sweet potatoes for lunch, and had to eat meat at night, otherwise he would not be able to stand the hunger.
Cut half a pound of pork belly into slices and put it into the pot. Stir-fry it with chili peppers and the aroma will fill the pan.
Served with mushroom, meat and egg soup.
Absolutely.
Banggeng lay beside the window of Chen's house, breathing in the aroma of food coming from the house.
His drool was all over the floor.
Dingdang stood next to the stick.
She was young and short, and couldn't see what was going on in the Chen family's house.
I was just sniffing and taking in the fragrance.
"That son of a bitch, Chen Jianye, eats spicy food and drinks delicious food every day, why doesn't he die sooner?"
Jia Zhang was so angry that she was howling in the house.
Qin Huairu glanced at him and said nothing.
The Jia family is rich, and Jia Dongxu's pension alone is a huge sum of money.
All of them were held in the hands of Jia Zhang.
He also deducted two dollars from the eight dollars per month food allowance.
The reason is that the family is missing a strong man and does not need so much food expenses.
This caused Qin Huairu to save money on food.
Qin Huairu was very resentful towards Jia Zhang.
If Jia Zhang gave her five more dollars every month, the Jia family would have oil for their meals and the children in the family would be able to eat eggs every now and then.
Now Banggeng took Dingdang to the window of Chen's house to breathe in the fragrance, and Qin Huairu also felt embarrassed.
"Grandma, I want to eat meat. The Chen family made a big meat dish. It smells delicious."
Bangteng came back, yelling loudly.
"I don't have any money, let your mother find a way."
Jia Zhang turned her head away.
"Your grandma doesn't give me money, and I can't turn into meat."
Qin Huairu spread her hands.
After finally getting through dinner, more than an hour later, Jia Zhang smelled the aroma of boiling lard again.
"Where did this beast get the lard? I sat at the door and watched him for several days. He definitely didn't bring any lard back."
Jia Zhang stood up suddenly and saw the opportunity.
"Mom, what do you want to do?"
Qin Huairu asked vigilantly.
"His lard must be from an unscrupulous source. I'll ask him about it."
Jia Zhang followed the scent and took a step forward.
"Mom, you have to talk to Chen Jianye nicely and stop arguing."
Qin Huairu reminded.
"Just do your job, do I need you to tell me?"
Jia Zhang waved her hand.
As soon as she went out, Jia Zhang saw a number of children lying in front of the Chen family's window.
They were all attracted by the aroma of lard cooked by the Chen family.
Jia Zhang passed by the window and glanced into the house.
Chen Jianye was using a spoon to scoop boiling lard from the stove and pour it into a ceramic jar.
The rich aroma made Jia Zhang spit out her saliva.
Jia Zhang did not go to talk to Chen Jianye first, but went to the Yi family across the street.
"Chen Jianye is purchasing things that come from shady sources. Yi Zhonghai, you have to take care of it."
As soon as she entered the door, Jia Zhang spoke very seriously.
"what?"
Yi Zhonghai looked confused.
"He's boiling lard right now. When have you ever seen him bring lard in?"
"In my opinion, he must have bought it secretly at the black market at night."
Jia Zhang's triangular eyes sparkled with wisdom.
"If he wants to buy something, then let him buy it. Who doesn't go there to buy something?"
Yi Zhonghai said calmly.
"Yi Zhonghai, what do you mean, you don't want to care?"
When Jia Zhang heard this, she became angry.
I am the first one to come to you, waiting for you to take the lead.
You, on the other hand, have become a coward.
"How can I manage it?"
"What can I do?"
Yi Zhonghai looked gloomy and glanced at Jia Zhang.
You want to use him as a knife, do you really think he is a fool?
"Well, you can't condone Chen Jianye doing this. You have to stand up and say something."
Jia Zhang's face was filled with indignation.
"You tell me, my throat has been sore these past two days."
Yi Zhonghai coughed twice.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you still the boss of the compound..."
Jia Zhang was furious and looked very unconvinced.
"Sister-in-law Jia, my master needs to rest. You can do whatever you want. Go ahead."
An old lady saw the guests off.
Jia Zhang went out cursing.
She finally saw it through.
Yi Zhonghai has already scared Chen Jianye out of his wits.
obsolete.
A towering building rises from the ground, and you can only rely on yourself to achieve glory.
With a desire for lard, Jia Zhang came to the Chen family's door and knocked.
"Who?"
Chen Jianye, who was boiling lard, shouted.
"It's me, your aunt from the Jia family."
Jia Zhang replied.
"If you have something to say, get out of here."
When Chen Jianye heard that it was Jia Zhang, his patience dropped to freezing point.
"Chen Jianye, where do you get the pork fat for making lard?"
Jia Zhang was also a bold person, and she shouted directly at the door.
At the Yi family opposite, Yi Zhonghai and an aunt looked through the window at the situation at the door of the Chen family.
Shazhu was also watching.
The lard cooked by the Chen family is so fragrant that the aroma is like a cat scratching your heart.
It's hard not to smell it.
"I bought it on the black market, what's the matter?"
Chen Jianye admitted it frankly.
"Well, if you dare to buy things on the black market, I will report you!"
Jia Zhang's voice rose a few notches, her words filled with excitement.
"Go ahead and report it. When I come back, I'll be the first one to kill you."
Chen Jianye scooped the oil from the pot and was not afraid at all.
According to the rules, it is indeed wrong to buy supplies on the black market.
The street or public security department can confiscate the materials.
But it’s not a big problem, just criticize and educate the person.
Those who report and expose others are only harming others and not benefiting themselves.
So generally speaking, there is no big hatred between neighbors, so it won’t come to this.
If Jia Zhang dared to report it, Chen Jianye would dare to take her life.
The sign must be put up to deter other people in the compound.
Outside the door, Jia Zhang shuddered.
He cursed a few words under his breath and turned back to the house.
"Although Old Lady Jia yells loudly, she is useless. She was scared away before Chen Jianye even opened the door."
"Luckily I didn't go, or I would have been embarrassed with her."
Yi Zhonghai watched the whole process and commented.
"We can't afford to offend Chen Jianye, so we should just avoid him from now on."
"I don't think this kid has taken the initiative to provoke others. He still wants to find a partner and start a family. He will slowly become stable in the future."
An aunt followed up.
"I hope so."
Yi Zhonghai's tone was heavy.
The presence of a ruthless man like Chen Jianye in the compound has overshadowed the head of the compound. How can this be a good thing?
But he really couldn't do anything to Chen Jianye now, so he could only endure it for the time being.
After Chen Jianye finished boiling the lard, he sprinkled some salt on the remaining lard residue and placed it in a bowl to cool it down.
You can also eat it as a snack while reading later.
After finishing his work, Chen Jianye sat at the dining table and prepared to read.
Outside the window, a group of children looked at the lard residue on the dining table, their eyes full of desire.
Chen Jianye smiled, picked up the lard residue, and opened the door: "Line up, everyone can take three lard residues to eat."
