Chapter 378 Homely!
Chapter 378 Homely!
Three years ago, in order to find a job for Yan Jiecheng, Yan Bugui went to Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. Later, Liu Haizhong came to Yan Bugui and told him that the workshop director of the steel rolling mill had a quota for apprentices, and he only needed to pay 300 yuan. Liu Haizhong helped the Yan family get the quota.
Yan Bugui, who was born calculating, wanted to buy this work quota very much, but he felt that three hundred yuan was too expensive and only wanted to pay one hundred yuan to buy this quota. This made Liu Haizhong very angry at the time. Later, he directly sold this quota to the Li family in the backyard. After the boy from the Li family entered the factory as an apprentice, he was successfully converted to a formal worker in the steel rolling mill last year.
When Yan Bugui heard Liu Haizhong bring up the work quota again, he, who was originally furious, suddenly became speechless and didn't know how to respond to Liu Haizhong's ridicule for a moment.
Yi Zhonghai saw Yan Bugui was speechless after being rebuked by Liu Haizhong. Although he also couldn't stand Yan Bugui's calculations, as the elder in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai immediately stood up to be a good guy and said to Liu Haizhong with a smile: "Old Liu! Just say less. Also, when you return to the backyard, remember to tell all the residents in the backyard what Dongming just told you."
Liu Haizhong was very pleased to see Yan Bugui, who was eloquent, speechless. Facing Yi Zhonghai's reminder, Liu Haizhong smiled and replied, "Old Yi! Don't worry! I will notify the neighbors in the backyard as soon as I get back to the backyard."
Yi Zhonghai watched Liu Haizhong walk towards the Chuihua Gate with a smug look on his face, then turned to Yan Bugui and said to him, "Old Yan! Old Liu is just like that. Just ignore what he said and don't take it too seriously."
"Also, remember to inform the residents of the front yard later to stay at home at night and not to wander around outside."
Jia Dongming was pushing his bicycle and had just passed through the hanging flower gate when he heard Liu Haizhong's mocking voice towards Yan Bugui from behind. Thinking of Yan Bugui's purpose in stopping him, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes and he pushed his bicycle towards the villa.
Just as Jia Dongming pushed his bicycle to the gate of the villa, he heard Xiaodang's cheerful voice coming from the yard. When Jia Dongming heard Xiaodang's voice, he instinctively looked towards the yard, and saw Lin Qiuyu and a girl of the same age playing shuttlecock in the yard, and Xiaodang was happily counting on the side.
Xiaodang, who was counting, heard the sound of a bicycle and instinctively turned her head to look in the direction of the door. When she saw Jia Dongming pushing a bicycle into the yard, she immediately opened her arms and ran towards Jia Dongming with her short legs, shouting happily: "Uncle! You are finally back. Xiaodang missed you so much."
When Jia Dongming saw Xiaodang running towards him, he immediately bent down and picked up Xiaodang who was running in front of him. At the same time, he kissed Xiaodang on the young face and asked Xiaodang with a smile: "Xiaodang! Where do you miss your uncle?"
Xiao Dang had no idea how many times he had answered Jia Dongming's question. Facing Jia Dongming's question, Xiao Dang patted his chest and answered in a baby voice, "Uncle! Xiao Dang misses you here."
Lin Qiuyu, who was playing shuttlecock, instinctively stopped what she was doing when she heard Xiaodang's shout and looked towards the door. When she saw Jia Dongming interacting with Xiaodang, she immediately called out, "Brother-in-law! You're back! Let me introduce you, this is my best sister Zhang Wenfang. She came to your house with me to watch TV today."
After hearing Lin Qiuyu's introduction, Zhang Wenfang greeted Jia Dongming a little shyly and said, "Hello, brother-in-law!"
After hearing Lin Qiuyu's introduction, Jia Dongming smiled and greeted Zhang Wenfang, "Classmate Zhang Wenfang! Welcome to our home." Jia Dongming parked his bicycle, took the food he brought back from the back seat, and smiled and instructed Lin Qiuyu, "Qiuyu! Take the things in this bag to the kitchen quickly, and ask your sister and sister Huairu to cook everything in it. We will improve your meals tonight."
When Lin Qiuyu heard Jia Dongming's instructions, she immediately took the bag from Jia Dongming and said to him happily, "Brother-in-law! During this time at home, my mother either cooked fried potatoes or stir-fried cabbage. I was so tired that I couldn't eat anything. Today, I can finally have a good meal."
Twenty minutes later, dinner was finally ready. Lin Qiuyue came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of braised pork. Seeing Jia Dongming teasing Xiaodang, she immediately shouted to him, "Brother Dongming! Dinner is ready. You can eat now."
When Jia Dongming heard Lin Qiuyu's words, he immediately picked up Xiaodang and said to him with a smile, "Xiaodang! It's time for meat tonight."
When Xiaodang heard what Jia Dongming said, he immediately replied in a baby voice: "Eat meat! Eat meat! Xiaodang likes to eat meat the most."
The dinner was very rich. In addition to the braised pork, Qin Huairu also cooked a bowl of fried pork with peppers, a bowl of scrambled eggs, and a bowl of fried cabbage with lard. The staple food was white rice cooked with the rice that Jia Dongming brought back.
After Jia Dongming and the others sat down, he reached out and picked up the chopsticks, and greeted Zhang Wenfang enthusiastically: "Qiuyu! Wenfang! Stop watching, hurry up and use your chopsticks."
Jia Zhang looked at the food in front of her, which satisfied her vanity. Thinking of this unnecessary day, Jia Zhang couldn't help but sighed, "Dongming! In the past, when mom wanted to eat meat, she had to close the doors and windows tightly, and then cook some meat quietly at home, for fear that the smell would spread out and let the neighbors in the yard know that we were eating meat."
"Now that we have a separate courtyard, we can eat meat whenever we want. We don't have to worry about the smell spreading to the courtyard and letting the neighbors know that we have improved our meals today."
Hearing Jia Zhang's sigh, Jia Dongming smiled and said to her, "Mom! A few years ago, there was famine all over the country. Let alone eating meat, it was a problem to have enough food."
"Life has gotten better now, and I earn hundreds of yuan a month. I can eat meat every day, not just occasionally."
Bang Geng heard the conversation between Jia Dongming and Jia Zhangshi, and while eating meat, he said to Jia Dongming: "Uncle! Why don't you come back earlier? If you come back earlier, our family can eat meat every day like we do now, and I won't be hungry every day because of not having enough to eat."
When Qin Huairu heard Banggeng's words, she immediately complained to him in dissatisfaction: "Banggeng! You are such a heartless person. We always give you food first when we have it at home. We have never let you go hungry."
