Chapter 564: Only talk about dedication, not benefits

Jingle Bell--

“Get off work and get off work!”

Without waiting for Yi Zhonghai to find him, Sha Zhu took the lead and returned to the yard.

During the whole day, everyone in the cafeteria was worried and didn't talk much.

As a result, Sha Zhu, who wanted to eavesdrop on the situation, got nothing. He thought about it for a whole day but couldn't come up with any solution.

"There are so many people in the yard, there must be some way. As long as we can get the food, it's not impossible to give some of it away."

When he returned to the yard, the first thing Sha Zhu saw was Yan Bugui watering the flowers, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Uncle San is stingy. There are many mouths to feed at home, so they must eat a lot of food. There must be some good way to save food."

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu decided not to leave.

"Uncle, I'm watering the flowers."

When Yan Bugui heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was Sha Zhu. Usually he never greeted him when he watered the flowers, so what happened today?
The weasel pays a New Year's greeting to the chicken - he has no good intentions, let's first see what the fool is up to.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Yes, I was watering the flowers. Why are you the only one back? Where is the uncle?"

"The cafeteria got off work early today, so I came back first since I had nothing else to do."

"The cafeteria closed quite early today." Yan Bugui sighed.

The two chatted about this and that, and finally Sha Zhu couldn't hold back anymore.

"Uncle, how do you save food for your family of six? Not only do you feed your family well, but everyone is healthy. You are really this.

As he said that, Sha Zhu gave a thumbs up and said, "Uncle San, can you teach me how to do it?"

When he said this, Yan Bugui couldn't help but be happy: "That's right! Don't you see who I am? I don't get the title of Third Uncle for nothing."

"As for saving food, let's not talk about other places far away. Just look at our yard. If I say I'm second, no one dares to say I'm first."

As he spoke, Yan Bugui drew a circle in front of him.

Sha Zhu used all his life's skills to agree, "That's right. Everyone in the whole courtyard knows that our Third Uncle is the most frugal. What can we do about this? Just make a contribution."

Yan Bugui was very pleased with what Sha Zhu said. If it was said by anyone else, it would be meaningless, but for Sha Zhu, he would never use his mouth to take action.

His praise was no less than that of Li Kailang and Yi Zhonghai.

"Silly Zhu, since you are willing to learn, I, as your uncle, cannot keep it for myself. Let me tell you, to save food, we have to start from saving little by little."

"As the saying goes, little by little makes a lot. Save a little today, save a little tomorrow, and save a little the day after tomorrow. By the end of the month, you can save at least a few pounds."

Finally someone understood his hardships and he had someone he could talk to. Yan Bugui immediately boasted to Sha Zhu about his method of saving food.

Sha Zhu listened very seriously, but he fell asleep at the end and never got to the point.

Yan Bugui was talking about how to save money on food, but Sha Zhu didn't need that at all. What he wanted was a way to substitute food like wild vegetable dumplings.

Instead of being stingy, saving some coarse grains from the east and some vegetables from the west, and then relying on pickles for food.

Immediately, Sha Zhu interrupted directly: "Uncle, do you have any other ideas?"

Having his interest interrupted, Yan Bugui's face darkened slightly, but he still controlled his temper and asked, "What method do you want?"

"That's it. Just like the wild vegetable dumplings, using other food as a substitute."

The "wild vegetable dumplings method" is now difficult for Yan Bugui.

He had long heard of the reputation of wild vegetable dumplings, which not only saved food but also tasted good. He had wanted to make them for a long time, but unfortunately they consumed too much oil.

Yan Bugui said helplessly: "I really can't do anything about this."

"It's nothing, I just asked casually, Uncle, please continue with your work, I want to go home."

After saying that, Sha Zhu went to the central courtyard.

"Yan Bugui has no idea. It seems like we have to ask someone else. There are so many people in the courtyard, so there must be one family that has a solution."

Immediately, Sha Zhu wanted to find the familiar Yi Zhonghai to ask.

If you still can't find the answer, go door to door and ask again, until you have asked everything you can.

The result is predictable. No one had any solution and they all asked Sha Zhu what solution he had.

If he had known about the solution long ago, why would he bother asking us for help?

"There's nothing we can do. What can we do? That's 50 kilograms of coarse grains."

Although Sha Zhu is a cook and has no shortage of food, he has a wife at home and he might be in urgent need of food someday, so more food is better.

"No, we still have to find Yan Bugui to think of a solution. There are so many people in his family, there must be a way. We have to force Yan Bugui."

"Just take out 20 kilograms of food first. 20 kilograms is not a small amount. It is just enough for Yan Bugui's family to eat for several days."

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu stood up again and went to find Yan Bugui, intending to have a good talk.

Jin Huainu looked at Brother Zhuzi, who was muttering to himself as soon as he came back, and didn't want to disturb him.

"Uncle, you're still watering the flowers."

"Silly Zhu, what's the matter?"

Sha Zhu got straight to the point, not bothering to beat around the bush: "It's like this, aren't we short of food recently? The canteen hopes that we can make more things like these wild vegetable dumplings."

"If you do this well, there will be a reward. If you can come up with a good idea, I can give you the whole reward!"

Sha Zhu stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of Yan Bugui: "2 catties, a full 20 catties of coarse grains, how about it?"

"20 jin!" Yan Bugui shouted in shock, standing up straight, really frightened.

"Hey, hey, hey." Sha Zhu quickly covered Yan Bugui's mouth, but it was of no avail. The neighbors around heard the number and went out to see.

"What do you mean 20 jin?"

"Uncle, what's 20 jin?"

Yan Bugui responded: "No, I said my big flower weighs 20 kilograms, it's too heavy to move."

When everyone heard that it was a big pot of flowers, they immediately lost interest.

Seeing everyone going back, Yan Bugui slowly let out a breath and looked at Sha Zhu solemnly.

"Really 20 kilograms?"

Sha Zhu nodded: "Yes, I'm giving all the rewards to you, Third Uncle. You know there are only me and my wife in my family, so we don't need that much food. It's enough for us to eat normally."

"As for me, I don't ask for anything. I just want the credit so that I can upgrade in the future. How about we each take what we need?"

Hearing this, Yan Bugui nodded, thinking that what Sha Zhu said didn't seem to be false. The main reason was that Sha Zhu's family had no shortage of food, so the identity of a cook would be easy to get.

Once you start working, you don’t have to spend money or have a ticket for lunch, and you can save about ten kilograms of food every month.

In order to make Yan Bugui devote all his energy to finding a solution, Sha Zhu racked his brains.

In order to get these 20 kilograms of food, Yan Bugui was determined to get it.

"Don't worry about this. I will definitely get it done for you. Give me some time to think about it."

"Then hurry up. If it's too late, the people in the cafeteria will hand it in, and then no matter how good the plan is, it will be useless."

At this moment, Yan Bugui was extremely anxious: "Okay, I'll think about it right away when I get back."

"Okay, thank you for your help then." After the task was completed, Sha Zhu left with a blank expression on his face but smiling in his heart.

"20 kilograms of food, 20 kilograms of food." Yan Bugui was spinning around excitedly, his mind racing.

"Think quickly, think quickly!"

But it was of no avail, and I couldn't think of a solution.

"No, I can't figure it out on my own. I have to mobilize my family."

Immediately, Yan Bugui watered the flowers casually, ran straight home, and closed the door.

"Come on, come on, let's all have a meeting." Hearing Yan Bugui's serious words, the third aunt didn't bother to cook, wiped her hands and came out immediately.

The whole family sat around the dinner table, all looking at Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui's mouth twitched for a moment, and then he slowly said, "Life outside is getting worse and worse now, although the autumn harvest is coming soon and there is food to be harvested."

"But we can't pin our hopes on food. Maybe this autumn harvest will be less than last year. We have to prepare in advance and come up with better ways to save food."

"Just like the wild vegetable dumplings, we have to come up with something similar."

Yan Bugui spoke clearly and at last said: "This method is related to our family's future food supply. We must think about it seriously and contribute a solution. No one can be lazy."

"I'm done. Do you have anything to add?"

Not a word.

Yan Bugui looked at Yan Jiecheng and said, "Boss, do you have anything to add?"

"No." Yan Jiecheng said nonchalantly.

Anyway, most of his salary was handed over to the government, so no matter who needed food, his would not be the one. He was not in the mood to do something that was useless.

Yan Bugui scolded: "No? Then what's your attitude? Don't you want to do it if there is no benefit?"

"Boss, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you are the eldest son in the family. You can't think about the benefits of everything. This is at home, not outside."

"This is about the family's food plan. The saved food will benefit everyone. How can we always think about the benefits and not think about contributing to the family?"

"Yes, yes, you are right." Yan Jiecheng responded with a serious expression, but secretly curled his lips.

I am not asked to do good things, but I am asked to make contributions: "Alas, who made me owe money to my family? I have no choice~"

Yan Jiecheng felt helpless, but had to accept the result.

Seeing everyone's serious expressions, Yan Bugui nodded with satisfaction. With so many people brainstorming together, they will surely succeed.

"You kids, especially you two, are all in school now. Don't just think about your own children's education and ignore it. You have to think about it when you have time."

"If you can't think of anything, you can ask other people. Okay, let's get busy."

After saying this, Yan Bugui went to water the flowers.

"To hear what happened next, please listen to the next episode."

"To hear what happened next, please listen to the next episode."

Two identical voices were heard by the six members of the Yan family who were having dinner.

Yan Bugui looked across the window and then looked next door. The two voices came from Li Kailang's house and Cui's house.

Every time he was eating, he could always hear sporadic crosstalk, which made Yan Bugui feel itchy.

Yan Bugui kept muttering in his heart: "It's been so long, even the Cui family has a radio, why don't I have one?"

"No, let's go ask Bai Xiuwen what's going on after dinner. It's been so long."

Having made up his mind, Yan Bugui looked at the whole family, who were distracted while eating, chewing their food in a disjointed manner.

You don't even have to guess, you can tell they were concentrating on listening to the crosstalk.

The Li and Cui families ate their meals while listening to crosstalk. They enjoyed their meals very heartily and even the simple meals were delicious.

Ever since the Cui family put a radio in the house, Li Kailang dared to listen to it openly.

When everyone in the yard heard that they had a radio, just like Zhang Fen's family did at the beginning, they stood at the door with their bowls and chopsticks in hand and listened.

The Cui family's house is in the corner, and the door is too crowded, so it's not easy to hear. Li Kailang's house is in the east wing, and there is a big yard at the door, so you can just stand outside the door and listen.

Li Kailang was not going to indulge them, and said directly: "You can listen, but you have to ensure the hygiene in front of my house."

"If anyone spits food scraps at the door and makes it dirty, you have to find a way to clean it up. If you don't clean it up properly, I won't let you go."

During this period, some people tried not to clean up, but Li Kailang didn't tolerate it. He turned the volume down so low that it could only be heard in the house.

Sometimes when he heard the climax, Li Kailang would just turn it off, preferring not to listen to it rather than let them hear it.

After a few times, they learned their lesson and cleaned up after each other consciously.

After finishing his meal, Yan Bugui wiped his mouth and went straight to the back room to talk to Bai Xiuwen.

"Xiaobai, are you busy?"

"Uncle, what's the matter?"

pat!

Bai Xiuwen turned off the radio and Yan Bugui looked at it with envy in his eyes.

"Ah, brother, I want to listen more!" Bai Chi shouted as soon as the radio stopped.

"The third uncle is here!" Bai Xiuwen patted his sister's head. Bai Chi, who was listening attentively, then saw Yan Bugui.

"Hello, third uncle!"

"Hello!" Yan Bugui smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Bai Xiuwen: "Xiaobai, I'm here for nothing else but the matter about the radio I talked to you about last time."

"I remember this incident. I have been keeping an eye on it. However, this radio is a large item after all and it is very rare to find one. It is very difficult to come across one unexpectedly."

Bai Xiuwen told the truth that he had never forgotten helping Yan Bugui get a radio, but it was a pity that he had never found it.

"Is it so difficult to get? The Cui family got the radio about a month ago." Yan Bugui said meaningfully.

Bai Xiuwen told the truth: "Uncle, I didn't help Cui get the radio. He got it by himself. I didn't help at all."

Cui Yuan could also get a radio from the repair station. Although it was a bit expensive, he could get it.

"Is that so? I thought..." Yan Bugui said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, I'll pay attention to it later." Bai Xiuwen didn't care.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you. Help me make one and I won't bother you anymore." Yan Bugui just talked nonsense again without saying any benefits.

After saying that, Yan Bugui was about to leave, but when he turned around, he noticed that there was a radio in the room.

"Xiao Bai, why do you have a radio here?"

"This radio is broken."

"Broken? Why don't you just sell it to me? I'll pay for whatever price you give. I didn't expect I'd be in such a good time." Yan Bugui said in surprise. He didn't expect to encounter one during his trip.

“This can’t be sold.”

"Why can't you sell it? They're all broken. It just so happens that you can fix them. I bought it, so you can help me fix it." Yan Bugui still wanted to take advantage of the situation.

"Uncle, this can't be repaired. I was just planning to ask Brother Cui to help fix it. Besides, this thing is not mine, it belongs to my factory director, and I will return it to him after it is repaired."

"Your factory director's? Is that true?" Yan Bugui looked directly at Bai Xiuwen, thinking that he was deliberately not selling it to him.

"Really, this is too badly damaged. I can't fix it. I'm going to ask Brother Cui to help fix it after dinner."

"Uncle, I will pay more attention to the radio you asked for in the future. Please wait patiently."

Yan Bugui looked at Bai Xiuwen's expression and felt disappointed when he saw that he was not lying.

"Okay, thank you. We are all neighbors, please pay more attention. There are radios in several households in the yard. I am worried too."

"You should pay more attention to it."

After saying that, Yan Bugui turned around and left.

"Uncle, take care." Bai Xiuwen quickly put the radio away to avoid being seen by others.

"Bai Xiuwen is such a dishonest guy. Let's keep an eye on him and see if he uses the radio to look for Cui Yuanxiu." Yan Bugui cursed in his heart.

"I helped his sister get into school, but he doesn't care about my own affairs."

Bai Xiuwen didn't expect that Yan Bugui would hold a grudge against him. It was truly an unprovoked disaster.
