Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 122, Surprise

It is mid-to-early September and the autumn heat is still here in Beijing. Especially today, the weather is scorching hot and the sun is shining brightly, so it is naturally very hot.

A train came from the south and slowly entered Zhengyang Railway Station.

"Doctor Zhao, how are you going to get these luggage out of the car?"

Lu Qingqi and the others looked at the platform outside the window, then looked at Zhao Mancang, and asked curiously.

They all knew very well that Zhao Mancang had five large luggage bags, almost each of which was very heavy.

Anyway, it is very difficult to lift it.

Zhao Mancang smiled when he heard this and said:

"I'm quite strong, so I can still lift it."

"Wow, how strong are you?" Jiang Ling exclaimed:

"Yesterday, when we saw that conductor carrying your bags, the veins on his arms were exposed. If you can carry five bags, doesn't that mean you're a Hercules?"

Cai Yufen, Lu Qingqi, Kong Yumin and the others all widened their eyes and said they wanted to see how he would lift it.

In response, Zhao Mancang just smiled and said nothing.

There's nothing to brag about. The train has arrived at the station anyway, and I'll get off with my luggage soon.

Not long after, after the train stopped, everyone got off the train one after another and headed towards the exit.

"See you later."

Zhao Mancang said something and got off the car with his luggage.

Lu Qingqi and the others were stunned: Can it really be lifted?

And seeing how relaxed Zhao Mancang looked, it seemed as if the luggage was not heavy at all.

So how strong is he?

"Doctor Zhao, please come and see us when you have time."

"Yes, Doctor Zhao, our comrade Qiufang is still recuperating. She might need you later."

"Goodbye, Doctor Zhao."

Several female comrades waved their hands repeatedly, their faces full of reluctance.

They really had a connection with Zhao Mancang. Not only did they take the same train when they went there, but they also sat opposite each other when they came back. This fate was truly amazing.

After leaving the station, Zhao Mancang looked around and then saw the person.

"Xiaomai, Xiaowang, here."

When Mai Xinbao and Wang Jinyi saw Zhao Mancang, their faces were immediately filled with surprise.

The two men walked forward quickly, exchanging polite greetings while trying to take the luggage from Zhao Mancang. Unexpectedly, their hands felt heavy and they almost fell down.

"Hiss, Doctor Zhao, what's in here? Why is it so heavy?"

Wang Jinyi's face was full of disbelief and uncertainty, and his expression was quite rich, and Mai Xinbao was similar.

Zhao Mancang was delighted when he heard this:
"I just warned you that this luggage is very heavy. You insisted on taking it. It's full of sausages, wild delicacies, etc., so of course it's very heavy."

"Hey, Doctor Zhao, you didn't empty out all the money they had, did you? These are five huge bags. Wow, they're too heavy, aren't they?"

The five specially made bags are naturally very heavy.

It was indeed filled with mountain products such as sausages, as well as non-sinking wild dried mushrooms, but how could they not sink if they were all put together?
Zhao Mancang and his team had hunted five wild boars on the way before. Except for a small number of them, Liu Dingren packed up the rest and asked Han Tianqi and his team to take them all and put them on the train.

"Well, it's a little heavy. Take these two bags. They're relatively not that heavy."

Zhao Mancang smiled and exchanged bags with them.

The three of them walked out of the train station exit and soon arrived at the parking lot outside.

After just this short distance, both Wang Jinyi and Mai Xinbao were exhausted.

Although Zhao Mancang said that the bags they carried were indeed lighter, they were still very heavy.

The so-called lighter is actually not that much lighter.

Seeing Zhao Mancang so relaxed without even breaking a sweat, Mai Xinbao and the others admired him even more.

The two had been waiting at the train station for two hours because they had come in the morning to ask when Zhao Mancang's train would arrive.

It was originally scheduled for one o'clock this afternoon, but was postponed to after three o'clock.

It's really normal for trains to be late.

"Doctor Zhao, are we sending you home directly?"

"Well, please take me home, and then I can take these three pieces of luggage back to the factory."

In the car, Zhao Mancang pointed to three of the bags and said, Wang Jinyi and Mai Xinbao nodded and agreed.

They had no say in how the luggage was distributed.

Moreover, they did not pay attention to these things. Instead, after starting the car, they curiously asked about Zhao Mancang's situation in Sichuan and whether there was any gossip about this trip.

Of course, this is true, because Zhao Mancang did not hide not only the matter of hunting the wild boars, but also the incident with Wang Haichang.

This matter probably cannot be concealed, because the train station will most likely go to the steel plant to explain the situation.

After all, Zhao Mancang being slandered is no trivial matter, and if Wang Haichang is to be executed, he must also make a closing statement, and the entire case needs to be completely confirmed.

After hearing this, Wang Jinyi and Mai Xinbao were both very angry. How could there be such a despicable person like Wang Haichang?

The car was not going very fast, but Zhengyang Railway Station was not far from the Friendship Hotel, so we arrived quickly.

"Then please help me send these three big bags back to the factory. I'm going home now. We'll meet again next time."

After getting off the car, Zhao Mancang invited Mai Xinbao and Wang Jinyi to his home to sit for a while and have a drink of water.

But both of them knew that it was just a polite remark, so they declined.

After all, Zhao Mancang has been on a business trip for such a long time. September 3rd has passed, and it is already mid-to-late January. He must be missing home.

After watching Wang Jinyi and the other man drive away, Zhao Mancang turned around and took out the key, but found that the door was not locked, but locked from the inside.

"Open the door!"

In fact, at this time, Lin Huijun had already rushed out from the backyard with two wolfhounds.

Because the wolfhound had a very keen sense of perception, it had already noticed someone at the door, so it barked at Lin Huijun a few times.

"father!"

Lin Huijun, who was walking with short legs, ran out. She originally thought it was a bad guy, but unexpectedly it was her father, which surprised her greatly.

The little guy took a small stool, stood on it, and pulled hard to open the door.

Just as she opened the door, her grandmother Zhang Dongyue appeared behind her.

When Zhao Mancang saw his mother-in-law and Lin Huijun, he was somewhat surprised, but he still called for help. Then he curiously asked why the door was locked when someone was at home?

Zhang Dongyue's smile disappeared immediately after hearing this, while Lin Huijun angrily put her hands on her hips and said:
"Dad, there are bad guys, they want to beat my mom"

Are there bad guys?
Hearing this, Zhao Mancang's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that bastard Zou Tianyun?
If I had known earlier, I should have dealt with the other party directly and saved myself a lot of trouble.

However, by the time he took his luggage home, Zhang Dongyue had already explained the general situation.

It turned out that Jin Wenliang had been released from prison. In June, he was sentenced to three months in prison for breaking into Zhao Mancang's house and stealing money and rummaging through things.

It has been almost exactly three months now.

After being released from prison, Jin Wenliang almost collapsed when he learned about the situation at home.

First of all, his mother Xie Pandi became much more haggard, crying all day long, and almost died.

Secondly, his elder brother Jin Wendong also lost his job as the replacement for his father.

At the steel plant, many workers disliked Jin Wendong very much because the Jin family almost harmed Zhao Mancang.

Zhao Mancang is now a doctor at the steel plant. He has excellent medical skills and is deeply loved and respected by everyone.

So in this situation, the workers directly reported and fired Jin Wendong's job.

This also means that the Jin family’s only source of income is gone.

As a result, Jin Wendong and his wife Fan Yuxiu could only do some temporary jobs, such as catching sparrows or doing heavy work like building dams. Otherwise, their whole family might not be able to make ends meet.

Secondly, Kim Won-sik was thrown into prison and forced to step on a sewing machine for three years because he colliding with police officer Fang Wenzhong from the police station.

This incident was a huge blow to Kim Won-sik, but compared to his third brother Kim Moon-geon who had already been executed, a three-year sentence was really nothing.

Yes, Jin Wenjian was executed in early September.

For the second son, Jin Wenliang, he had only been in prison for three months of forced labor, and when he came out, the family was about to break up.

His younger brother is dead, his father is still in prison, his mother is sick because of this, and his eldest brother has lost his job, and all of this is related to Zhao Mancang.

Jin Wenliang would not reflect on himself and think that it was his family's own fault. He would only think that all this was because of Zhao Mancang.

If it weren't for Zhao Mancang, why would his family be in this situation?
If Zhao Mancang had not moved to Courtyard No. 18 of Huguo Temple, how could all these things have happened later?
So everything was caused by Zhao Mancang.

When hatred blinds his eyes, how can Jin Wenliang remain calm?
So he wanted to seek revenge on Zhao Mancang.

He didn't find Zhao Mancang because Zhao Mancang was on a business trip in Sichuan at that time, so after asking around for information, he came to the Friendship Hotel.

But before Jin Wenliang could do much, he was chased and bitten by two wolfhounds and was almost bitten.

Zhao Mancang bought the two wolf-blue dogs in July. They were already one month old when he bought them, which means they were more than three months old in September.

He weighs about 22 kilograms and is about the same height as a child, about 40 centimeters at the shoulder.

In fact, it is slightly heavier and taller than the average of an ordinary three or four month old wolfhound.

So although they look young, their actual power has almost come out.

Being chased by two wolf-blue dogs, Jin Wenliang was naturally frightened.

The first time Jin Wenliang came, he was scared away by two wolfhounds. The second time he was well prepared, he unexpectedly met Xiao Shutie, who happened to be visiting Zhao Mancang's house with his wife.

Xiao Shutie works in the security department of the steel plant. He carries a gun and his job responsibilities are somewhat similar to those of a public security officer.

So Jin Wenliang was caught red-handed and sent to the detention room of the steel plant by Xiao Shutie to be taught a lesson for a few days. After that, he became much more obedient.

However, the appearance of Jin Wenliang made Lin Wan feel a sense of crisis, so she usually locked the door.

After understanding this matter, Zhao Mancang smiled and comforted Lin Huijun, saying that he was back and there was no need to be afraid, and he would solve these troubles when the time came.

"Dad, are you going to beat up that bad guy?"

Lin Huijun tilted her little head back and asked with her big eyes blinking.

Zhang Dongyue was immediately embarrassed and quickly scolded, "Huijun, who taught you to say that? Fighting is wrong, do you understand?"

Zhao Mancang does not have much say in the matter of children's education. After all, Lin Huijun calls him dad, but he is not her biological father.

Zhang Dongyue was worried that Lin Huijun's behavior would make Zhao Mancang unhappy, so she scolded the little greedy cat.

Let’s not talk about whether fighting is right or wrong for now.

The fact that the little greedy cat hates Jin Wenliang so much is enough to show that Jin Wenliang’s previous behavior may have really left some psychological trauma on Lin Huijun.

We can also get some clues from the fact that Lin Huijun asked very vigilantly who was outside the door before opening the door.

I'm afraid that Jin Wenliang made some noise the two times he came before. Otherwise, it is unlikely that such an optimistic child like Little Greedy Cat would say something like beating up the bad guy.

"Listen to your grandma. Hitting people is wrong. But if someone does something bad to you, you should run away and hide. Then let me or your mother beat him up. Got it?"

Zhao Mancang said so, but the little guy clenched his fist and said:

"Dad, why should I run away and hide? I can beat him too. Look at my fist."

"You're still too young, and your fists don't have much strength. Besides, if you get hurt, your mother, me, and your grandparents will all be very sad. You don't want them to be sad, right?"

"Well, I don't want to."

"That's right. As for fighting, you're still young now. When you grow up, we'll slowly teach you how to deal with these things, okay?"

"it is good!"

After talking to the little guy for a few words, Zhao Mancang didn't continue with the matter. Instead, he changed the subject, unpacked his luggage, and started talking about this business trip.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Mancang went to wash up and rest.

I've been on the train for such a long time without taking a shower, and my body is already very greasy.

I feel uncomfortable all over!
When Zhao Mancang woke up, it was already dusk.

"Mancang, get up. Wait a moment. Dinner will be available soon."

When Lin Wan saw Zhao Mancang appear at the kitchen door, she immediately spoke gently.

When she came back from get off work just now, she had already gone to the room to see Zhao Mancang.

After all, she hadn't seen him for such a long time, and she missed him very much.

They say that a short absence is better than a new marriage, and this is really true.

Zhao Mancang smiled and nodded, a fire burning in his heart. He also saw that Lin Wan also wanted to practice water magic.

But the timing is not right now, so I can only bear with it for now.

My mother-in-law did not stay at home for dinner, but took the bus back by herself.

"I bought a monthly bus pass for my mother and spent it."

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Mancang interrupted:
"Don't tell me how much money I spent. This is all the money I should have spent. I feel embarrassed to bother my mother-in-law running back and forth every day."

In order to take care of Lin Huijun, Zhang Dongyue did sacrifice a lot.

After all, she is an old woman in her fifties, and it is really troublesome for her to run back and forth like this every day.

Because she not only needs to take care of Lin Huijun, but also needs to go home to cook, and there is a lot of housework to do.

"I'm afraid you'll be unhappy." Lin Wan lowered her head and said in a low voice.

She knew Zhao Mancang's previous experiences, so when it came to money, she would explain things to him as clearly as possible to avoid misunderstandings.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Mancang couldn't help but want to touch her.

As a result, Lin Huijun, who was playing with two wolfhound puppies nearby, cast another glance over.

Zhao Mancang, who was sensitive, had no choice but to give up.

There is a large light bulb next to it, which is sometimes quite troublesome. If you want to be intimate with the little one, you need to pay attention to the little one all the time.

Lin Wan also noticed his gaze and her pretty face turned red, but at this time she smelled something burnt and immediately exclaimed.

The hustle and bustle in the kitchen only lasted for a moment, and dinner would be ready soon.

The dinner was quite sumptuous, with two meat dishes, which made the little greedy cat's mouth drool.

Nanluoguxiang, Heizhima Hutong.

Zhang Dongyue, who got off the bus with a net bag in her hand, became the focus of the crowd along the way.

why?
Because everyone was paying attention to the net bag she was holding, which contained several sausages and two pieces of bacon.

This is all good stuff!
There are two kinds of pork: pork and cheap meat.

Cheap meat refers to pig offal, pig liver, pig intestines, pig stomach, pig head, etc. These cheap meats have little oil, so the price is very different from pork.

In many rural areas, pig offal is actually given to the butcher as a reward.

In the pig-killing dishes in Northeast China, there is almost no pork, and all the dishes are made with pig offal.

The price of pig offal in Beijing now is surprisingly cheap.

Department stores, supply and marketing cooperatives, and other places sell braised meat for retail prices after processing: pig liver at 3.2 cents per pound, pig intestines at 2.8 cents per pound, pig heart at 5 cents per pound, pig head at 3.6 cents per pound, and pig lungs at 2.1 cent per pound. The reason for such low prices is naturally because the processing is difficult and labor-intensive, and there is no oil or water.

Since the emergence of stir-frying in the Song Dynasty, most butchers chose to sell pig offal to small vendors who specialized in making pig offal delicacies. As a result, many delicacies with local characteristics were born.

For example, the local braised pork in Beijing, the rice rolls and various delicacies from Baiyun City in the south, the spicy and hot soup from the Central Plains, the gourd head from Chang'an, the Chaotian pot from the Qi and Lu regions, etc.

The side dishes that Wei Hongzhou had invited Zhao Mancang to drink with before were actually these cooked and braised dishes.

With Wei Hongzhou's salary, it's not too stressful to buy some snacks like this occasionally.

There is no need to talk about the other kind of pork. The price is very transparent, which is 72 cents per pound.

At this moment, the sausages and smoked meat in Zhang Dongyue's hands made her the most attractive thing on the street.

Putting aside the question of whether the sausages are made of pure meat, let’s just look at the two pieces of bacon; the fat on them is very clear.

To be precise, the wild boar meat that Zhao Mancang brought back from Sichuan and Shu is not as fat as domestic pigs, but because of its larger size, the fat content is certainly not bad.

If it is wild boar meat from a boar, the meat quality is very poor, but it is fine if it is from a sow.

The two wild boars hunted by Zhao Mancang were sows, and since they were killed with a dagger, it was equivalent to bleeding, and the bleeding was very thorough.

Under such circumstances, the texture of wild boar meat is not much different from that of domestic pig meat.

The smoked meat that Zhang Dongyue brought back was this kind of wild boar meat, which looked very tempting.

Zhao Mancang was quite generous towards Lin Wan's family.

Unlike my ex-wife's ungrateful family, the Lin family is very sensible and knows how to give.

That's why Zhao Mancang was so generous.

"Wow, Aunt Lin, where did you bring back all this meat? This must be over 10 or 20 kilograms, right?"

Before they even returned to Courtyard No. 36, Liu Changan's sister Liu Chun'e opened her eyes wide and said in surprise.

Just by looking at her expression, you can tell how surprised Liu Chun'e was at that moment.

"How can it be so heavy?" Zhang Dongyue smiled modestly, feeling extremely satisfied in her heart.

"My son-in-law gave it to me. I didn't want it, but he forced it on me."

Zhao Mancang told her in the afternoon that after the meat was divided, she would take 15 kilograms of meat to her father-in-law's house. Compared with the three large suitcase bags that Zhao Mancang brought back, which contained nearly 200 kilograms of meat, it was indeed not much.

But for my father-in-law's family, fifteen pounds of meat is already a lot.

"Doctor Zhao is back?" Liu Chun'e was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion.

In fact, her brother Liu Changan had been dealt with by Zhao Mancang. Logically, she should have a lot of opinions about Zhao Mancang, but how dare she?

After all, Zhao Mancang is a doctor who saves lives and has very impressive medical skills.

Half a month ago, rumors were already circulating in the steel plant that Zhao Mancang would be promoted and his salary would be increased.

They actually said that it was based on the salary standard of deputy chief physician of Union Hospital. This is definitely a very impressive salary.

Therefore, even though Liu Chun'e didn't know how good Zhao Mancang's medical skills were, she could get some clues from his salary level.

What if I really get sick one day and fall into Zhao Mancang's hands? What should I do then?
So if you can avoid offending Zhao Mancang, try your best not to offend him.

What's more, after her brother was punished, he became much more obedient. He was probably frightened by the experience of the Jin family in Courtyard No. 18 of Huguo Temple.

"Yes, I just came back this afternoon."

While Zhang Dongyue was chatting with the other party, they had already arrived at the gate of Courtyard No. 36.

There are already quite a few kids playing and fighting here, as well as neighbors who have returned home from get off work and are chatting.

When everyone looked at Zhang Dongyue, they all opened their mouths wide: When did the Lin family become so wealthy?

More than ten pounds of meat were brought back in a net bag. Don’t you know how to cover it?

To be honest, Zhang Dongyue deliberately exposed herself to the neighbors.

Some things need to be kept low-key, while some things can only be kept high-key.

Take the sausages and smoked meat in her hands, for example. No matter how tightly she covers them up, it’s useless because when she goes home to cook, the aroma of the meat will definitely drift away and cannot be blocked at all.

The neighbors' desire for meat is unparalleled.

The slum compound of Courtyard No. 36 is even worse than Courtyard No. 18 where Zhao Mancang lived before. There are very few families with high salaries there.

Take the Lin family for example. In the past, the Lin family was a dual-income family with both Lin Guohua and Lin Wan, father and daughter, having salaries. But in fact, the combined salary of the father and daughter was comparable to what Zhao Mancang earned as a level six breeder.

Even so, it is quite difficult for the Lin family to eat meat.

Not to mention pork, even for braised meat and cooked food, the Lin family didn't dare to buy too much. At most, they would eat it once or twice a month to satisfy their hunger.

After all, the cheapest pig lungs cost 21 cents per pound, so how could you dare to eat more?
You know, flour is only 18 cents per pound, and it is a fine grain.

Buying a pound of braised pork lungs can almost buy a pound and a half of flour.

Most of the neighbors in Courtyard No. 36 earn only 30 or 40 yuan a month, and the Lin family is the only dual-income family.

Because Lin Kai is currently working as a temporary worker in the breeding room of a steel plant, this is also a job.

Although he is still unsure whether he can become an apprentice and his current salary is only ten yuan, the neighbors in Courtyard No. 36 are very envious of him.

After all, families like those in Courtyard No. 36 generally have five or six children to raise, or families with six or seven people but only one person has an income.

Under such circumstances, a monthly salary of thirty or forty yuan is barely enough to live on.

After all, in addition to meals, there are also miscellaneous other expenses, such as matches are two cents a box, salt is 13 cents a pound, soy sauce is 20 cents a pound, vinegar is 8 cents a pound, and so on.

These are all an indispensable part of daily household expenses, not to mention winter heating costs, clothes, shoes, towels, etc.

As Zhang Dongyue entered Courtyard No. 36 and headed towards her own home in the backyard, neighbors such as Zhu Meiqi, Uncle He, and Aunt Lu all exclaimed in surprise.

Pork!
"Mom, there's so much meat? Is my brother-in-law back?"

When Lin Shuxian saw her mother brought back so much meat, her eyes lit up.

Since her sister married Zhao Mancang at the end of July, the family's conditions have not only not deteriorated, but have gotten better.

It was just because Zhao Mancang sent gifts to his father-in-law's house every now and then, even though Zhao Mancang and Lin Wan had been married for more than a month and he had already gone on business three times, and even the time he spent at home was not as long as the time he spent outside.

But because of this, Zhao Mancang always brought back a lot of meat, which was really a timely rain for Lin Shuxian who was growing up.

In September, Lin Shuxian started the third year of junior high school, which could be said to be a critical time.

At this time, it would naturally be very good for her if she could get more nutritional supplements.

Because reading really consumes a lot of energy, and she is in the growth stage, so her nutritional needs are even more urgent.

"Well, your brother-in-law just came back this afternoon, so we'll have sausages tonight."

Zhang Dongyue was in a good mood. After arriving home, she went into the kitchen and started to get busy.

Although she was a bit bored staying at the Friendship Hotel all day, she enjoyed it.

She was also looking after the house for Zhao Mancang.

She just felt that it was a bit of a waste to have such a big house occupied by only Zhao Mancang and his family of three.

Of course, she wouldn't think of moving her family there. Not to mention that she wouldn't do that, even if she dared to mention these things, Lin Guohua would be the first to slap her.

Lin Guohua is an elementary school teacher, so of course he needs face.

He would never do something as shocking as Huang Dechang did.

In addition, Lin Kai and Lin Shuxian, two siblings, would not support such an approach.

"Yeah, thank you brother-in-law!" Lin Shuxian cheered and jumped for joy when she heard this. Zhang Dongyue pretended to be angry and said:

"You're just thanking your brother-in-law, not me, right? Can't you see that I brought back all this meat?"

"Thank you, mom. Hehe, stingy mother!"

The first sentence was spoken quite loudly, but the second sentence was just a mumble. However, Lin Shuxian still underestimated her mother's hearing, and her mother actually heard it.

So, for a while, there was chaos in the kitchen.

At this time, Lin Kai also rushed back from outside and asked about the meat as soon as he entered the house.

After working hard all day, Lin Kai was already growling with hunger.

When he came back just now, the neighbors told him that his mother brought back more than ten pounds of meat, which made him very happy.

Lin Guohua also walked back slowly. He had just returned from his colleague Liu Jianchun's home, and was now both physically and mentally satisfied.

In recent days, Liu Jianchun has been very enthusiastic towards him and even took him to Liulichang to see those antique porcelains.

To be honest, Lin Guohua has gained a lot of knowledge.

Even though he knew that Liu Jianchun was particularly enthusiastic because of his son-in-law Zhao Mancang.

After all, only Zhao Mancang has money, and Lin Guohua's monthly salary is only 32 yuan. After deducting family expenses, there is no money left.

Therefore, Lin Guohua was extremely vigilant every time he chatted with Liu Jianchun.

But Liu Jianchun has not shown any purpose so far, and it seems that he just wants to share the antiques with his colleague.

As a result, Lin Guohua gradually let down his guard.

Anyway, as long as it doesn't involve money, it's easy to talk about.

When he just walked into Courtyard No. 36, neighbors such as Zhu Meiqi and Uncle He talked to him about his wife bringing back more than ten pounds of meat from his son-in-law's house. Lin Guohua got angry at the first moment.

When he got home and smelled the delicious meat, he was not happy at all. Instead, he was very angry:
"You're such a spendthrift woman, you're really going to piss me off to death."

Zhang Dongyue, Lin Kai and Lin Shuxian, mother and son, were all confused: Who made him angry again?

"I'm asking you, was this meat taken from your daughter's family? You still dare to say it was? And you're so self-righteous? Do you want people to stab us in the back? Your daughter has it, that's because she married well, but you can't bring it home every day, aren't you making people laugh at you?"

Lin Guohua was indeed very angry, and at the same time he blamed himself for being so incompetent.
On the one hand, although a son-in-law is half a son, Zhao Mancang is different after all. He is married for the second time, and the eight years of experience with his ex-wife have already exhausted him.

Although Lin Guohua believed that the sausages that Zhang Dongyue was frying now were probably what Zhao Mancang asked her to take back, that was Zhao Mancang's own business. Lin Guohua did not want his wife to be so unreasonable and accept it as a matter of course.

This is definitely wrong!
On the other hand, the fragile self-esteem of the old man Lin Guohua could not withstand the blow.

He only hated that he was an elementary school teacher with a monthly salary of only 32 yuan. Although it was a decent job, he could only barely make ends meet. This decency was just superficial vanity.

"I'm too lazy to tell you. Why don't you go to your son-in-law's house and see how many pounds of meat he brought back this time. If you don't know the specific situation and you get angry here, I'm too lazy to say anything to you."

Zhang Dongyue frowned, said something unhappily, and continued cooking.

Lin Guohua, Lin Kai and Lin Shuxian were all stunned. From what she said, did it mean that Zhao Mancang's family had a lot of meat?
Lin Guohua, an elementary school teacher, was too shy to ask.

Lin Shuxian, on the other hand, didn't have so many reservations and asked directly.

Then she heard her mother say:
"You all went to your sister's house last time. She has a room specifically for storing vegetables, meat, and other things. It's in the room next to the kitchen."

"This time, your brother-in-law brought back three large bags of luggage from Sichuan. Among them, there were nearly 200 kilograms of meat. The sausages, bacon, etc. were piled together, and there was a lot of hanging."

"It's quite hot now, so your brother-in-law has put these sausages and bacon in the basement. He's also planning to dig another basement. Otherwise, the current basement won't be able to hold all that stuff."

"Also, your brother-in-law brought back a lot of dried mushrooms, yak jerky, etc. These are all good things."

At this time, Lin Kai and Lin Shuxian, brother and sister, were almost drooling after hearing this.

That's really greedy!
There's nothing we can do about it. Who made their mother say so much?
We even have to dig a basement specifically to store the meat. How exaggerated is that?
Zhao Mancang's house originally had a basement, but that basement was probably only half a square meter in size at most, right?

Anyway, it is a very small space. It is okay to use it to store some food such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, but it is not suitable for storing sausages and smoked meats.

This is because meats like sausages are best kept in a space with a temperature of around two degrees Celsius above zero. Of course, this cannot be done in a basement.

Generally speaking, in summer, the temperature in basements in Beijing is around 12 to 15 degrees Celsius; in winter, it is generally around 12 to 18 degrees Celsius, depending on the conditions of the basement.

If it is to be used as a cold storage, the basement can be dug deeper so that the temperature can be maintained below zero.

In ancient times, ice storages were built deep in the basement. In winter, the snow and ice blocks on the ground were made and stored in the ice storage. In summer, they could be taken out and used.

Now Zhao Mancang wants to dig a basement, so naturally he needs a basement with a lower temperature.

For Zhao Mancang, this is not a difficult task.

Anyway, it's a basement, so just dig and dig.

Zhao Mancang has his own system space and is very strong, so he can do it himself.

Of course, since he has a high salary, there is no need for him to save this little money.

Although they were greedy, Lin Kai and Lin Shuxian did not say anything about going to their sister's house to eat for free. They just muttered a few words enviously, and that was all.

Lin Guohua, on the other hand, was obviously stunned for a while, then he sighed, turned around and left.

A son-in-law is half a son, and now this son-in-law has far surpassed his father-in-law.

If my daughter marries him, then I really don’t have to worry about anything.

At this time, Zhao Mancang was having dinner with Lin Wan and Lin Huijun, mother and daughter. When he received the sudden surge in experience points from the system, he was stunned for a moment.

Holy crap, he just sat at home and experience points started falling from the sky?
He discovered that these experience points all came from the neighbors at No. 36 Heizhima Hutong, and he couldn't help but think of his mother-in-law.

Because Zhang Dongyue brought back a lot of meat this evening, the neighbors must have seen it, so they gave him so many envious experience points.

Zhao Mancang was no stranger to the neighbors in Courtyard No. 36 and had met all of them.

Since they have met, it is natural that they can provide experience points for Zhao Mancang.

What an unexpected surprise!

However, even with such an unexpected surprise, Zhao Mancang still needs to wait and see if he wants to accumulate more than 10,000 experience points.

And you have to pray that you don't use experience points during the next period of time.

Otherwise, it will be a long time to achieve this goal.

At night, when it was late and quiet, Lin Huijun had fallen asleep. Zhao Mancang and Lin Wan tiptoed out of the little guy's room and returned to their master bedroom.

Since Zhao Mancang had just returned, Lin Huijun was particularly excited. He coaxed her for a long time before finally getting her to sleep.

In the master bedroom, as soon as the door was opened, two figures couldn't wait to overlap.

They hadn't seen each other for almost ten days, and both Zhao Mancang and Lin Wan were very excited.

Because of this excitement, I inevitably did the fill-in-the-blank exercises a lot faster.

It must be said that Lin Wan's water magic has improved significantly.

The night deepened until a low roar came from Zhao Mancang's throat, and today's water magic training finally came to an end.

However, Lin Wan had already fallen asleep at this time.

Well, it seems there is no way to clean up the mess, so Zhao Mancang had no choice but to hug her and fall asleep.

But after a while, he felt someone wiping his body.

When I opened my eyes, it was indeed Lin Wan. She woke up again.

In the darkness, Zhao Mancang could not see the drunken shyness and satisfaction on her face, but he could feel her tenderness.

It is true that a short absence is better than a new marriage.

The reason why there are so many trivial things in life is simply because we don’t have enough money.

In the 1950s, as long as people had enough food and clothes, all problems were not a problem.

One night without words, the next day passed in a blink of an eye.

When Zhao Mancang woke up, his big hand was still holding Lin Wan's bowl.

It seemed that he really couldn't let go of it, or maybe his hands had their own thoughts and didn't listen to his commands, insisting on holding the big bowl.

Since he slept for half the afternoon yesterday, Zhao Mancang woke up early.

Now that you're awake, go solve some problems.
