Siheyuan, don't mess with me

With the child with him, it was not convenient for Chen Zhiguo to put the books away. Walking on the street with such a pile of picture books in his arms would really attract attention. It was normal to buy one or two books, but it was very rare to see more than 200 picture books in his arms like Chen Zhiguo. After walking for a while, Chen Zhiguo could not stand such eyes any more, so he divided the bag of New Year's goods and finally put half of the books in. With the cloth bag covering it, it was finally a little better!

Fortunately, Chen Zhiguo's family is relatively open-minded. Chen Dayong basically doesn't care about Chen Zhiguo's affairs, and the same goes for Wang Meihua. So Chen Zhiguo, who came back with a large pile of books, was not blamed for spending money indiscriminately or anything!

Chen Xiaoli came into the room and pulled Xiaoyong and Xiaojun to read together. Their way of reading was really characteristic of that era. They didn't read one book each, but three little heads gathered together, heads touching, reading and discussing at the same time, and when it came to intense parts, they even quarreled!

Chen Zhiguo divided the New Year's goods among the three families and delivered them to each of them one by one. The New Year was coming soon and every household was busy. There was no one idle!

He Yushui was also busy, mainly because He Yuzhu's room was too messy. He Yushui had been cleaning it for a whole day, and it finally looked a little more human, otherwise Chen Zhiguo would not like to go in. There was a strange smell. I don't know how He Yuzhu could be a chef. How could he not smell such a pungent smell?

Deliver the things over, and tell Yu Shui to come over and eat instead of cooking by herself in the evening. If He Yuzhu gets off work early, let him come over to cook. After communicating with each other over the past few days, He Yuzhu is quite happy to cook at Chen Zhiguo's house, because there is plenty of meat in Chen Zhiguo's kitchen and he is passionate about cooking!

Grandma Hu was the same as usual and rejected Chen Zhiguo's invitation to dinner, but Chen Zhiguo also firmly refused and asked Grandma Hu to call the children back home and have dinner at Chen Zhiguo's house tonight!

Just after coming out of Grandma Hu's house, Chen Zhiguo saw Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng busy in the kitchen. When they saw Chen Zhiguo, they looked at him differently. Yan Bugui's eyes were a little evasive, and he seemed scared, while Yan Jiecheng's eyes were filled with hatred, which made Chen Zhiguo unhappy!

Originally, the third aunt was detained, and the New Year was coming soon, so Chen Zhiguo had not thought about doing anything to Yan Bugui's family. But now seeing Yan Jiecheng's attitude, he even hates him. Why not keep him? He will make arrangements for him tonight!

Dinner, He Yuzhu still didn't come, so Chen Zhiguo had to do it, and Chen Dayong helped on the side. They didn't make braised pork, but braised rabbit meat, stewed roe deer meat with potatoes, and stewed wild boar meat, cabbage and vermicelli, and paired it with peanuts that He Yuzhu had taken. There was enough meat these days, but no vegetables to eat, which made Chen Zhiguo very entangled. You can't get vegetables on the market, just the old three! The only way is to grow it in the space myself. Can't I get rid of the fate of a time traveler and also build a breeding space?

Wait! After the New Year, if it really doesn't work, just do it! Chen Zhiguo is ready to bow to reality. When he returns to his hometown during the New Year, he will ask his grandmother for some vegetable seeds and plant them in the space himself!

Chen Dayong did not ask about the rabbit that suddenly appeared, as if it was already there. He took it, chopped it, washed it, and handed it to the chef Chen Zhiguo! He squatted at the kitchen door and smoked!

After the business trip, Chen Dayong felt that his family had changed. His son was more sensible and capable. Chen Dayong's thoughts on his son were simple. He knew that Chen Zhiguo was very dazzling. Whether it was the original plan when the house was built, or the continuous skipping of grades, to the current changes in the family, Chen Dayong's heart was actually quite complicated, worried, happy! But no matter what, he is Chen Dayong's son, so Chen Dayong just guards him silently!

When the food was served, He Yuzhu knocked on the door with two lunch boxes in his hands. "Come! Come! Come! More food!" He boasted. One lunch box contained chicken stewed with mushrooms, and the other contained half a fish.

"Of course, this chef is different!" Chen Zhiguo exclaimed.

"That's it, buddy, I think of you for all the good things!"

Chen Zhiguo gave He Yuzhu a thumbs up. What they were drinking tonight was Dongjiu. Chen Zhiguo directly brought a box to Chen Dayong. If you want to drink, just take it yourself!

With good wine and good food, Chen Zhiguo's home was bustling with activity. But when the children had finished their meal and left the table, He Yushui and Wang Meihua went to the bedroom, leaving only Chen Zhiguo, Chen Dayong and He Yuzhu at the table, Chen Zhiguo finally spoke, "Are you the one who takes all the food from the kitchen?

"Of course, if I didn't take it, then who would take it?" He Yuzhu said arrogantly.

"Does anyone else have any opinions?"

"Who dares!" He Yuzhu was drunk and spoke loudly. Chen Zhiguo patted him on the shoulder and pointed to the bedroom.

"You can't do this! You'll be isolated in the kitchen like this!"

"No way! I see they all smile at me." He Yuzhu was a little puzzled.

"I smiled at you, but do you know that I was calling you a fool in my heart?" Chen Zhiguo said with a smile.

"why?"

"Why else? Isn't it just for food? In the kitchen, aren't people just trying to get some bang for the buck? What I mean is, if you monopolize everything and others get nothing, will they curse you in their hearts? Think about it from another perspective. If you are a kitchen helper and the chef takes away all the leftovers, how would you feel? Would you curse the chef?"

He Yuzhu stopped talking and thought with his glass in hand, "What should I do?"

"It's very simple. Share the benefits equally. If you can take the leftovers with you, then divide them evenly so that everyone has a share. If there aren't many, give them to one person and decide who to give them to next time. Then arrange them like this. Think about it, is this better for the chefs under you, or for the chef who eats alone?"

He Yuzhu understood, pointed the wine glass in his hand at Chen Zhiguo, and drank it in one gulp. Chen Zhiguo also picked up the wine glass and drank a glass with him!

"The teacher said that we should make more friends and fewer enemies! If you do this in the kitchen, everyone will be on your side. If you become the monitor of the cafeteria in the future, they will listen to you and your job will be very easy! Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

"There is one more thing I want to make clear. You must bring vegetables with you. You can't shake the spoon in front of the workers just because you want to bring vegetables back. That will bring you a lifetime of infamy. If it gets out, your reputation will be ruined. Think about it, there are nearly 10,000 people in the steel mill. If one person spreads the word to ten people, and ten people spread the word to a hundred people, how far will you be spread? So, you must be careful!"

Chen Zhiguo thought, since he and He Yuzhu have become friends, he should help him. So, tonight, he took the opportunity of He Yuzhu bringing food to talk to him. If he can listen, that's great. Next time, Chen Zhiguo will persuade him. If He Yuzhu still does what he wants, then sorry, there will be no future! Chen Zhiguo will not be that kind of good guy!

Chapter 53 The unlucky Yan Bugui and his son!

Chen Zhiguo didn't sleep all the time, but was reading a book. As he got better, his alcohol tolerance increased. The three of them drank two bottles of wine. Chen Dayong and He Yuzhu both walked a little unsteadily, but he was fine!

Taking the opportunity to send He Yuzhu back, Chen Zhiguo glanced at Yan Bugui's house. They were still awake, that was good! Normally, it would be nine o'clock, and Yan Bugui, who was thrifty, would have urged the children to go to bed long ago, so that they could save on electricity and coal!

There are still lights and voices tonight, so Yan Bugui must be going out to the black market tonight. This is not surprising at all, everyone does this, because with just the few tickets in hand, you really can't buy much, especially at the end of the year, who doesn't want to eat something good and celebrate the New Year happily!

After returning, Chen Zhiguo read a book while listening to the noise outside. Although the distance was a bit far, it was late at night and it was still quiet, so he could still hear the noise coming from Yan Bugui's house!

Sure enough, at half past ten, the door of Yan Bugui's house began to ring, and then the gate of the courtyard also rang. OK, Yan Bugui's family has moved out. So tonight, hehe! If Yan Jiecheng doesn't come out, then it's Yan Bugui. If Yan Jiecheng follows, then it's Yan Jiecheng!

Chen Zhiguo quietly left the room, without opening the door, but climbed over the wall and came out! From a distance, he saw two figures in front of him, so there was no problem, just wait!

After walking around quickly, Chen Zhiguo arrived at the black market earlier than Yan Bugui and his father. Since he was out, he might as well sell some goods. Chen Zhiguo knew Yan Bugui's character. If he didn't go around the black market three times and find out all the prices, Yan Bugui would not buy anything. Therefore, there was enough time. Moreover, Yan Bugui would wait until others were selling their last goods before he would go up to bargain. Only then would the price be easily negotiated. It was the tail goods! Some sellers didn't want to stay any longer, so they would sell at a lower price!

It's still a 200-pound wild boar. In this space, there is also a big wild boar weighing more than 400 pounds, a wild boar weighing more than 100 pounds, and two and a half small wild boars!

After processing in the space, it was only about 180 kilograms. It was still the old rule, one kilogram per piece. As soon as Chen Zhiguo put the fish on the table, he met a big customer who directly ordered 20 kilograms without even bargaining and directly gave 120 yuan!

The others also bought three or five kilograms of pork. It was Chinese New Year, so they had to get some meat to make dumplings for the New Year! The pork was sold out really fast tonight. In less than half an hour, the pork was sold out. What should they do? Yan Bugui hadn't finished his first round yet?

Chen Zhiguo had no choice but to carry the backpack and leave temporarily. Since it was easy to sell, he might as well sell the big pig! The 450-jin wild boar weighed 380 jin after being killed. Chen Zhiguo hid in a deserted alley and fed the white fox. He held it and petted it. It was really good. It felt so smooth! There was no excuse. Now there was an excuse. It was not bad to keep it outside. Others petted cats, and I petted white foxes. Isn’t it a bit more classy!

After waiting for more than twenty minutes, Chen Zhiguo appeared again with a large backpack on his back. Needless to say, those with good eyes immediately surrounded him. Many people came late and did not buy meat, so they were looking around. When they saw Chen Zhiguo, they surrounded him without hesitation and said that they would grab two pounds of meat to take back tonight!

Three hundred and eighty kilograms of meat didn't last more than an hour and a half. The main reason was that Chen Zhiguo didn't bargain, didn't let people choose, and took whatever they wanted! Moreover, the buyers started with three or five kilograms, and ten or eight kilograms were normal, so the meat sold very quickly!

When Chen Zhiguo was done, Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng were still looking for the street? I don't know what kind of person Yan Bugui is. When Chen Zhiguo was selling meat just now, he also came to ask the price. He didn't say whether it was expensive or not, but just turned the pork over and over to look at it. Can he see the flowers or how much more it cost?

Chen Zhiguo grabbed it and waved him off without saying anything. Chen Zhiguo couldn't understand why Yan Bugui had his hands covered in oil. Did he not wash them when he got home? Or did he want to use the oily water to make soup? What was he trying to do? Why did he have to get his hands covered in oil?

Chen Zhiguo disguised himself when he went out today, and his body was hunched. I believe Yan Bugui should not be able to tell. When Chen Zhiguo finished selling, Yan Bugui and his son were still wandering around. Chen Zhiguo began to worry. His original plan was to beat Yan Jiecheng on the way back from shopping, but now it seems that this plan is not going to work. How long will he have to wait?

Then let’s think of another way!

Chen Zhiguo returned to the alley he had just been in, and seeing that there was no one around, he put away the backpack, changed his clothes, put on a big cotton hat and big gloves, and that was it! He had simply changed his outfit!

Play it by ear!

Chen Zhiguo followed the Yan family father and son slowly, and he also looked for anything to buy along the way! Just when Yan Bugui was negotiating the price with an egg seller, Chen Zhiguo saw an opportunity!

Yan Jiecheng actually took advantage of the seller's inattention and when Yan Bugui blocked his sight, Yan Jiecheng took two eggs in his hand. Then the opportunity came. Chen Zhiguo walked slowly past them, waved his hand, and directly took a dozen eggs from the basket into the space, and then put them into Yan Jiecheng's cloth bag. It was slow, but in fact, it was just a blink of an eye!

Chen Zhiguo walked forward slowly, with his head down, looking at the stalls on the roadside. Not long after he walked, he heard the sound of quarreling behind him!

It is taboo to make loud noises in the black market. Everyone tacitly agrees not to speak. Even if they want to speak, they make very small noises. If such a loud noise is heard, it means something is going to happen. The smart ones will start to pack up their stalls immediately!

Of course, if you open a black market, there must be people patrolling the place, mainly to prevent petty thefts, otherwise the reputation will be ruined and no one will dare to come!

Soon, several men came running over. Chen Zhiguo watched from a distance and saw that the egg seller kept holding Yan Jiecheng and wouldn't let go. He might not notice if one or two eggs were missing from his basket, but if more than ten were missing at once, no one would be blind!

The anxious egg seller grabbed Yan Jiecheng who was about to leave. When he saw the panicked Yan Jiecheng, he realized that it was this man's ghost. When he saw the eggs in Yan Jiecheng's hand, he understood everything!

The arrival of the scene quickly stopped both sides from shouting and took them away. As for the consequences, Chen Zhiguo didn't have to think about it, because Yan Jiecheng would definitely be beaten!

See if you are convinced or not. If you hate me like this again next time, then I will do it again. Chen Zhiguo, in a good mood, bought ten kilograms of white flour and went home! We will see the result tomorrow! Hehe!

As soon as I entered the room, I saw my father Chen Dayong smoking in the living room, "Dad, you're not asleep?"

"I'll go to bed after I finish smoking!" Chen Dayong put out the half-smoked cigarette, put it in the cigarette box, and turned to walk towards the bedroom. Chen Zhiguo looked at the three or four cigarette butts on the ground, and his heart warmed. "Dad, don't smoke so much at night. It's not good for your health!"

"Got it!" Chen Dayong walked straight into the room without even turning his head!

Chen Zhiguo also went to wash up and go to sleep! Sleep! The warm kang is so comfortable to lie on! Although it is not cold or hot now, it is so comfortable to lie on it in this winter!

Chen Zhiguo vaguely felt that there was some noise outside. He didn't want to think about it. He heard his father got up. He decided to ask him tomorrow morning.

As Chen Zhiguo expected, Yan Bugui and his son were in trouble this time. They made quite a big fuss last night. According to what Chen Dayong said in the kitchen this morning, even Yi Zhonghai was alarmed!

It turned out that after Yan Bu and his son were detained, the eggs were of course returned to the egg seller. In order to compensate, Yan Bugui was asked to pay the egg seller another five yuan!

In front of a group of hooligans who were staring at him, how could Yan Bugui dare to say no? Besides, he was in the wrong, so he had to pay! Of course, this was not the end. After sending the egg seller away, the group of people showed their true colors! Before, they were worried about the presence of outsiders and were afraid that the seller would be scared, so they tried to persuade Yan Bugui with kind words!

After the egg seller left, Yan Jiecheng was in trouble. Without saying a word, he was beaten up directly, and his mouth was blocked!

As for Yan Bugui not getting beaten, they were afraid that he was too skinny to be beaten! But they didn't let him go. They searched him first. Yan Bugui had garlic, dried chili peppers, dried mushrooms, and everything else on him. They had taken them from other people's skewers. It was the first time for the guards to see such a person. He even had a handful of cornmeal in his pocket. He was really stingy!

Finally, not only did they beat Yan Jiecheng to get rid of their hatred, but they also asked Yan Bugui to pay money to compensate for the losses of the black market. Yan Bugui broke the rules of the black market!

But Yan Bugui only had more than 20 yuan on him, so how could he satisfy these people? The boss asked for at least 100 yuan, otherwise he would chop off one of Yan Jiecheng's hands!

So, a group of people took Yan Bugui home to get the money. As for Yan Jiecheng, just wait! He would be released only after the money was in place. As for why they followed him, they were afraid that Yan Bugui would set off a firecracker on the way, so they also went to check the door!

Yan Bugui is such a smart guy, he doesn't want to leave no matter what, he plans to stay here forever, why don't you just kill us father and son, after all, we have no money but our lives! You decide!

To deal with people like Yan Bugui, this gang has plenty of ways. If they don't touch the old one, they can touch the younger one! They tried the moves they learned in the detention center on Yan Jiecheng. Although they have tried it before, there is a clear difference between trying it themselves and watching others try it!

Soon, Yan Jiecheng couldn't hold on any longer. Your father won't leave, right? Then continue. There are still many moves waiting for you. We won't beat you. Just try it slowly!

Yan Jiecheng cried heartbrokenly, "Dad! Please save me! I really can't stand it anymore!" In the end, Yan Bugui gave in and obediently took his people home to get the money!

When he got home, Yan Bugui's courage returned and his mind became active again. He thought to himself, now we are in the courtyard, how can I be afraid of you!

He mustered up the courage to speak, "I have no money, so you should release my son immediately! If not, you can just keep him!" Anyway, Yan Bugui was betting that they would not dare to kill Yan Jiecheng.

But this group of gangsters were very angry. They had never seen such a person, who went back on his word and valued money over his life. What’s more important is his son’s life!

So, a quarrel broke out at Yan Bugui's house. Yan Bugui said, "Give me back the twenty yuan and release my son, or I will go to the police station!"

The black market guy was not afraid either. He took out a knife and threw it on the table. "Go and report it. If you want to leave this door, I will deal with your whole family. You have ruined my livelihood. How can I let you live?"

Just like that, looking at the three children who were frightened like quails, Yan Bugui finally gave in. His weakness made the other party excited, "One hundred yuan, take the money!"

Fortunately, Yan Bugui had a high IQ. He used the excuse that he had no money, went out to borrow money, ran to the Intermediate Court and knocked on Yi Zhonghai's door!

Chapter 54 The flavor of the New Year!

Yi Zhonghai was also confused. "Why are you looking for me instead of Liu Haizhong? Isn't it better for me to just stay at home and sleep?"

But Yan Bugui has already come, how can he refuse? Now he and Yan Bugui are comrades-in-arms and allies!

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to follow Yan Bugui to his home. Seeing a group of vicious people sitting in Yan Bugui's home, Yi Zhonghai immediately understood, "I've been fooled. Yan Bugui was just deceiving me. I fell into Yan Bugui's trap! But now, it's hard to get out!"

Yi Zhonghai also figured it out. "You, Yan Bugui, want to use me, don't you? I really don't care. If you want to borrow money from me, you can write me an IOU, but if you expect me to rush forward and deal with these people, it's impossible!"

So, Yi Zhonghai went into Yan Bugui's house and just smoked without talking! In the end, Yan Bugui was the unlucky one, but Yan Bugui was still Yan Bugui, he valued money more than his life, he was completely shameless, shameless, he was a scoundrel to the extreme! This group of gangsters was also annoying, and the day was about to dawn, Yan Bugui successfully negotiated the 666 yuan down to yuan, what do you think Yan Bugui is amazing! Yi Zhonghai was dumbfounded watching from the side, Yan Bugui's wave of !

Yi Zhonghai went home with the fifty-yuan IOU, cursing Yan Bugui as he walked, "What a piece of shit! If I wasn't smart, I would have become his shield! You can do it yourself, but you drag me into this! How disgusting!"

In Yan Bugui's mind, Yi Zhonghai only speaks well, but once he encounters problems, he is also a cunning old man. I have seen it clearly tonight. He is a man who cannot be trusted! In everything, you still have to rely on yourself. This is not a hundred turns into fifty, and you can save fifty! Yan Bugui's Ah Q spirit is really good. Why doesn't he think about wasting fifty!

In fact, Yan Bugui has become numb from the pain. He has been spending money like water these days. It hurts so much!

Yan Bugui has already started to formulate a new round of frugality plan and will start after the Chinese New Year!

. . . . . . . . . . . .

Today is New Year's Eve. Chen Dayong went to the steel mill after breakfast. He hasn't received this year's benefits yet? Anyway, the steel mill will arrange staff on duty in the transportation department every year, so it's a good time to go and pick it up today!
