Chapter 99: Taking the Blame Again
Chapter 99: Taking the Blame Again (Second Update)
Jia Dongxu suppressed Yi Zhonghai's anger and dissatisfaction with just one sentence.
Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a phrase that Yi Zhonghai always says.
Banggeng is still young and doesn’t know much!
Jia Zhang is old and greedy...
As the eldest brother in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai shouldn't be so petty with these two!
Yi Zhonghai immediately flashed an awkward smile on his face, and then replied: "It's okay!"
"Eat more if you're hungry... I've almost had enough!"
Seeing Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady put down their chopsticks, Jia Zhang became even more exaggerated.
He directly brought the half-bowl of chicken stewed with mushrooms to me: "Why don't you eat such a delicious dish..."
"Then it's all good for me..."
"My dear grandson...eat more quickly..."
"Your Grandpa Yi and the others are full, the remaining chicken and pork belly are ours..."
Ten minutes later, something even more outrageous happened.
Not only did Jia Zhang eat her fill, but before leaving, she also poured all the uneaten chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised pork... into a bowl.
Not polite at all, he said shamelessly: "Old Yi..."
"My family is in financial difficulty..."
"You are a level 8 fitter in the steel mill, with a high salary. You definitely won't be interested in these leftovers..."
“I took them all back!”
"Stew some radish and cabbage in it, it tastes much better than stir-frying radish and cabbage."
Yi Zhonghai's face was full of reluctance!
Today's dishes not only have good ingredients, which cost a lot of money to buy from the pigeon market, but are also very oily.
I used a full half pound of peanut oil.
Under normal circumstances, half a pound of peanut oil would be enough for the old couple to use for more than half a month!
But Jia Zhang had already said it, and she said it politely. Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu also sat beside him and looked at him with gratitude on their faces, so Yi Zhonghai couldn't find a reason to refuse.
I could only nod with a look of heartache: "If you want it, take it back..."
"It's a good opportunity to give Banggeng some extra oil and water..."
…………
Compared with the messy reunion dinner at Yi Zhonghai's house, the New Year's Eve dinner at the Chen family in the front yard was not only more harmonious, but also full of laughter.
Although Chen Li tried her best to finish the food on the table, she only ate half of it in the end.
There was half a plate of each dish left.
After putting away the leftovers, the family has some rare free time to sit together and chat!
"Dongzi... do you have any thoughts about family matters after the New Year?" Chen Dehui has completely regarded Wang Dong as the backbone of the family, and asked very seriously!
"Sister Jun must take the high school entrance exam!" Wang Dong said firmly.
Chen Jun also wanted to go to high school and eventually college, but when he thought about his family situation, he shook his head decisively: "Dongzi..."
"I plan to take the entrance exam for a technical secondary school... I don't want to take the entrance exam for a high school..."
"Technical secondary school guarantees job placement..."
"There are subsidies for going to technical secondary school, and after graduation, you can work as an intern engineer in a factory..."
"If I take the high school entrance exam, I'll have to find a job after graduation, and there's no guarantee that I'll be able to get into college..."
"It takes a long time..."
"You are the only one earning money in the family, the pressure is too great..."
Wang Dong refused without hesitation: "No..."
"Sister Jun..."
"You have to go to college with such high grades...otherwise it would be such a waste!"
"You can only be an engineer or a technician after graduating from a technical secondary school, but it's different after graduating from a university. You can be a cadre after graduating from a university!"
"And I want you to study economics..."
If Wang Dong remembers correctly, there are still economics majors in universities today.
Once the storm starts, the economics major will be abolished and will not be restarted until after the reform and opening up.
After the reform and opening up, the country will enter a period of rapid development.
As the old saying goes, as long as you stand in the right place, even a pig can fly.
He is a soul from the future, with a wife who studies economics, and his original accumulation over the past 20 years, so he is not afraid of not taking off. But he cannot say this, otherwise Uncle Chen will definitely think he is crazy.
Chen Jun was puzzled and asked with a frown, "Why do you want to study economics..."
"Our country is developing industry everywhere... People go to university to learn technology, is it useful for me to study economics?"
"Of course it works!"
Wang Dong answered without thinking.
Deciding to once again push the pot onto those leaders who made him cook, he said seriously: "Sister Jun..."
"What I'm going to say next is only known to us, so you must not spread it to anyone else!"
“I heard all this when I was cooking for the leaders!”
"They say that the economic development level in other countries is very high, but our country has just started to develop industry..."
"Once the industry is well developed... the economy will definitely develop in the future..."
"By then, anyone who studies economics will be a treasure..."
"You are taking the high school entrance exam this year, and you still have seven years to graduate from college..."
"Perhaps by that time our country's industry will have developed and started to grow its economy..."
"That's why I want you to study economics, to prepare for a rainy day!"
Wang Dong asked his family to store up food, saying that supplies would become increasingly scarce in the next few years. He heard this news while cooking for his leader.
Although there is no definite evidence to prove that there will be a shortage of supplies in Sijiu City in the future, the prices in Pigeon City are indeed getting higher and higher, and supplies are becoming less and less!
It has been implicitly proved that the news he "heard" from the leader is likely to be true.
When Wang Dong heard what he just said from his leader, both Uncle Chen and Mr. Chen believed it about 70% to 80%.
But despite the letter, Mr. Chen did not nod.
Taking the high school entrance exam means that not only will you not be able to earn money in the next seven years, but you will also have to spend a lot of money.
The pressure of making money at home falls heavily on Wang Dong’s shoulders.
He is just the son-in-law of the Chen family, and Chen Jun feels that doing this is too unfair to him.
Wang Dong saw through Chen Jun's thoughts and said bluntly: "Sister Jun..."
"Are you still worried about money?"
“I’m afraid it’s too hard for me to make money on my own!”
"You underestimate me..."
"You underestimate Uncle Chen and Aunt Li..."
"Although my salary at the steel mill is only 37 yuan, I can still cook banquets on weekdays, and I cook banquets for the leaders..."
"I can earn at least twenty dollars more a month!"
"If I have nothing to do, I can go fishing and earn ten bucks!"
"You and my little sister can help me go fishing too...you both learned how to do it anyway!"
"Uncle Chen and Aunt Li make cured fish, cured meat, cured sausage, cured pig heart, cured pig lung, and pig liver at home..."
"I often go to the meat processing factory to cook for Director Wang, so I can get these things for the time being!"
"Even if we can't get pork, we can definitely get some pig offal..."
"When we have more bacon and sausage at home..."
"We can still find time to sell them at the pigeon market..."
"Or sell it to the leaders I know!"
"Many of them are from Shonan, and they like this."
“I’ll bring it over when I cook for them next time. They’re sure to like it!”
"By then, uncle and aunt will also be able to earn money at home..."
"This matter must be kept secret..."
"If anyone asks..."
"We just smoked some of the fish we caught in the river and saved them for later consumption. If anyone wants to report us, we won't have any reason to do so!"
