Siheyuan, don't mess with me

As we were talking, the neighbor's uncle came over and said, "Zhiguo is really good! He even killed a wild boar!"

"Uncle Dazhuang, I only encountered a small piglet that was alone. If it was a wild boar, I would not have the courage to run back with them!" The neighbor's uncle was called Chen Dazhuang. When he heard from Da Niu who came home that Chen Zhiguo had killed a wild boar, he was shocked and scared. His two sons followed him. There was no adult with a gun following them. How dangerous it was!

After hearing Chen Zhiguo's explanation, I felt relieved.

"Come on, Uncle Dazhuang, give me a hand and kill this pig!" Chen Zhiguo called on Chen Dazhuang to help. If they relied on grandpa and grandma alone, it would be too tiring for them!

"Okay!" They were all people who had hunted in the mountains, so it was easy to kill a pig. Grandma went to boil water, Uncle Dazhuang went home to get a knife, and Grandpa and Chen Zhiguo moved out an old table!

Soon, the two uncles and aunts came over. The men watered and shaved the pigs, while the women continued to boil water. The children gathered around Chen Zhiguo and ate the wild fruits that he had picked on the mountain! The fruits were really sweet, and Xiaomei and Xiaoyue were so happy eating them!

When there are more people, work can be done faster and it’s lively, and the work can be done amid laughter and joy!

The pig's hair was shaved off and its blood had all flowed out on the way, so Uncle Dazhuang directly cut open the pig's belly and put all the intestines, stomach, heart, liver and lungs into a large wooden basin. He gave it to the two aunts to clean, and then Uncle Dazhuang began to divide the meat!

"Grandma, do you want to share some of the meat with the villagers?" Chen Zhiguo pulled his grandmother aside and asked quietly. The pig hair weighed only about 50 kilograms, and without the internal organs, it weighed less than 30 kilograms. How should the meat be divided? If it is divided, there will be no meat left at home!

“Wait a minute, wash the heart, liver, and lungs, and put them in the pot to cook, then put the bones in. Later, ask your uncle to broadcast it on the radio and ask each family to send someone over to make a bowl.” Grandma’s idea was really good, she took everything into consideration, and not much meat was used!

The uncle that grandma was talking about is the son of grandpa’s eldest brother, and the village chief of Chenjia Village. Grandpa had four brothers, and he was the youngest. Now he is the only one left alive. So, when there is something, the cousins ​​of Chen Dayong’s generation will ask the old man for advice. But sometimes, what grandma says is more effective than what grandpa says!

When I was young, my grandmother was quite strong. All the younger generations were protected by her. When they were too hungry, they knew that they could get enough food from Fourth Aunt! Therefore, no one dared to mess with my grandmother in Chenjia Village!

Soon, Chen Dalong, the village chief of Chenjia Village, walked in. "Uncle Four, Aunt Four! Zhiguo has made great progress. He even caught this wild boar!"

"It's just a lone pig!" Grandma added, "Go and shout through the loudspeaker later and ask them to come over with a bowl of pork soup. It's just a small pig with so little meat that it can't be shared!"

"I'll go in a minute! Having broth to drink is better than drinking porridge!"

Chen Dahu and Chen Dazhuang put the cleaned pork offal and several leg bones in a basin and took it to the village office. There was a big pot here for cooking, which was convenient! It was Chen Dalong's idea to call people here to serve the soup. After all, this place is spacious and the firewood is also from the village!

Grandpa and grandma were also happy to have some peace and quiet. They contributed all the pig's offal, and there wasn't much meat left at home. Each family of the direct descendants of the family got half a pound of meat, so there was only ten pounds of meat left. Chen Zhiguo wanted to split the rest, and he and Chen Dazhuang's family would get half, but Chen Dazhuang refused to take it. There was nothing he could do, so grandma had to make the decision. They also gave Chen Dazhuang a wild rabbit, a pig's head, and a pheasant that was half eaten by a wild boar. It was also grandma's words that made Chen Dazhuang obediently take these things, otherwise he would have refused them no matter what!

In this way, there were only 20 kilograms of meat left at home. Grandma wanted Chen Zhiguo to take it all away, but there were two big fat pigs in Chen Zhiguo's space. How could she accept it? She refused to take it no matter what. Finally, grandpa said that Chen Zhiguo should take 10 kilograms of meat back, and the remaining 5 kilograms should be given to his second uncle, and 5 kilograms should be kept for grandpa and grandma!

Hey! Hunting is not tiring, but it took a lot of effort to share the pork! Because he had to take the meat back, after lunch, Chen Zhiguo was urged by his grandmother to go back quickly! Although she was very reluctant!

"Grandma, I'll come to see you in a few days!" Chen Zhiguo said, holding his grandmother's hand.

"Okay, okay, bring your sister here and let her stay here for a few more days!" Grandma still didn't like Wang Meihua just because she was too weak!

Walking down the stairs, people kept greeting him. Fortunately, Chen Zhiguo had a good memory and could almost always recognize who was who, except when he called the wrong person. The younger ones could only explain aggrievedly, his peers would laugh, and the older ones would scold him, "You little bastard, the elders don't even recognize you!"

Just like that, Chen Zhiguo left Chenjia Village amid constant greetings. Looking back, his grandmother was still standing on the steps in front of the yard, looking at him. From this distance, Chen Zhiguo could see her clearly, but to his grandmother, Chen Zhiguo was just a very blurry shadow!

. . . . . .

Half of the snow on the road has melted. There is no snow in the middle of the road, so buses can pass through. But on both sides of the road, the snow has been trampled into ice, making it very slippery to walk on!

With the bus, the travel speed is much faster. This is also the only return bus in the day. The reason why his grandmother urged him to go is that she didn't want him to miss this bus!

Chen Zhiguo sneaked back home on that snowy night, and his grandfather quietly told him that his grandma had not slept all night. Chen Zhiguo knew that if his grandma had not slept all night, then his grandpa must have also not slept all night with her!

Chapter 13 The Jia family’s house renovation story!

I waved to stop a slow-moving bus. The ticket was 1 cent. The conductor shouted, "Go inside, go inside, don't stand at the door!"

After Chen Zhiguo got on the bus, he regretted it! It was not because there were no seats, but because the smell on the bus was too bad!

Although the bus is not well sealed, you can still feel the cold wind blowing when you sit by the window, which will make your teeth ache!

Even with such air leakage, the strange smell in the car could not be dispelled! The old man's pipe, the middle-aged uncle's cigarettes, and the smell of chicken shit. An old lady was holding two old hens to show off that her daughter-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy for her family. The unstoppable joy was revealed in her happy smile! At that time, there was no regulation prohibiting smoking in public places. It was normal to smoke on the bus, and the cinema was full of smoke! Poultry like these can also be brought on the bus!

If that were all, Chen Zhiguo could still tolerate it. What he couldn't stand was the sour smell on the bodies of the people crowded in the small space!

Chen Zhiguo was quite tall, 16 years old, and almost 1.8 meters tall! With such a height, other people's heads would sway under his nose on the bus, and the sour smell would hit his nose! What's more, Chen Zhiguo even saw lice in his hair!

Helpless Chen Zhiguo could only squeeze in. Out of sight, out of mind!

As soon as the bus got on, Chen Zhiguo identified the road and quickly escaped from the bus at the first stop!

After getting off the bus and breathing the cold air, Chen Zhiguo felt alive again! He swore that he would never take the bus again! Now, his whole body was itchy, especially his scalp, and he had to go home and take a shower!

Chen Zhiguo took a step forward and ran along the long street towards home! At home there was a cute little sister and a worrying mother!

The main door of Chen Zhiguo's house is not the old-fashioned double door with wooden latches, but a large iron door with iron pipes welded together and covered with iron sheets. The latch is inside, and a small hole is opened on the large iron door to facilitate reaching in to unlock and pull out the latch! Fortunately, Chen Dayong works in a steel mill, so he can get it done with some scraps and some money!

The bang of the door opening startled everyone in the room, "Brother, brother!" Chen Xiaoli ran out of the room and hugged Chen Zhiguo's thighs and refused to let go!

Chen Zhiguo held her up as soon as he reached out his hand, "Do you miss your brother?" "Yes!" Chen Xiaoli hugged Chen Zhiguo's neck and said in a tender voice, "Hey! This cute sister! She is so lovely!"

In the room, Wang Meihua saw her son coming back, and hurried over to hold Chen Zhiguo's hand, "Are grandpa and grandma okay?"

"It's fine!" Chen Zhiguo put his sister down and gave her a handful of wild fruits. "Eat them quickly. They're so sweet!"

Chen Xiaoli tasted one and her eyes narrowed, "Brother, it's really sweet!" She grabbed the fruit and ran to Wang Meihua, "Mom, the fruit is so sweet, I'll give it to you!"

Wang Meihua took the fruit from her daughter's hand and tasted one. "It's really sweet!"

Just like that, the mother and daughter forgot about Chen Zhiguo, and their eyes were full of wild fruits! Chen Zhiguo shook his head and turned into the kitchen. He didn't expect that the mother and daughter were both foodies. Forget it, take out the food quickly while they are not paying attention!

For the sake of convenience, Chen Zhiguo put all the meat into the space. He was in a hurry to go home and forgot about this matter. Now he ran to the kitchen to get it out, but he guessed that these two foodies would not notice him!

In recent years, Chen Zhiguo has been running between various schools and has not spent much time with his family. He really didn't notice their foodie attributes. However, now that he has the space, he should be able to satisfy their appetites!

Now it's time to cook dinner. Chen Zhiguo took out the meat, a total of ten pounds of meat. Chen Zhiguo divided the meat into one-pound strips and hung them under the eaves. In the current weather, it won't take long for the meat to freeze!

There are two more pig's trotters, and grandma must bring them back. Chen Zhiguo couldn't get over it, so he had to listen to grandma and stew the pig's trotters with soybeans tonight! Chen Zhiguo just discovered a very useful space function. In the space, he can control the pig's trotters with his mind, scrape the skin and remove the hair, and the pig's trotters instantly become white and clean. With a thought, the pig's trotters automatically decomposed. Chen Zhiguo just drew lines on the pig's trotters with his mind, and the pig's trotters were divided into pieces according to the lines! Really like it!

Take out some soybeans and soak them first, then drain the water from the pig's trotters and skim off the foam after heating. These methods were also what Chen Zhiguo learned from videos before he became an actress. But after searching for a long time, he couldn't find any ingredients. So he cut some green onions and ginger and added some Chen Dayong's liquor, and the simple version of soybean stewed pig's trotters was ready!

At this time, a gust of wind blew, making the kitchen window bang! The wind blew, and Chen Zhiguo hurriedly closed the window. When he opened the window just now, he forgot to put up the hook!

Just as Chen Zhiguo was busy in the kitchen, a quarrel broke out in the Jia family!

Jia Dongxu had a head injury, so he took a day off and rested at home. However, the house with leaks everywhere made him miserable, so he urged Jia Zhangshi to find someone to repair the roof, but Jia Zhangshi was money-loving and how could she agree to do that?

Jia Dongxu had no choice but to endure it all night. The next day, he went to find a repairman to come to his house. Jia Zhangshi did not stop the repairman when she saw him coming. She knew that Jia Dongxu had no money and would still ask her for help when the time came!

After Jia Dafu died of his injuries, Jia Dongxu took over and became a formal worker in the steel mill. The first-level fitter was paid 27.5 yuan a month. Except for 7.5 yuan left for Jia Dongxu to buy meal tickets, the remaining 20 yuan was taken away by Jia Zhangshi and saved! Even Jia Dafu's 500 yuan pension was in Jia Zhangshi's hands. Therefore, Jia Dongxu didn't even have money to smoke. He had to rely on freeloading to smoke. But if you keep freeloading and don't give cigarettes to others, who will give you cigarettes after a long time! So Jia Dongxu later specifically freeloaded Yi Zhonghai's cigarettes!

After the maintenance master looked at the roof of the Jia family, he shook his head and said that this job was not easy! Why? Since Jia Dafu left, the roof of the Jia family has not been repaired. If the broken tiles are not replaced, rainwater will seep in through the gaps. The entire beam has been soaked and started to rot. For safety reasons, the roof must be completely removed and the beams must be replaced. Even if the beams are not replaced, they must be sanded and repainted!

When the repairman talked, the mother and son of the Jia family nodded, but when the repairman quoted the price, they all shook their heads. It was too expensive! It would cost 200 yuan to replace the beam! If the beam was not replaced, it would cost 100 yuan to polish and paint it!

This price was a direct dig at Jia Zhang's flesh. Jia Zhang shook her head like a rattle and said to Jia Dongxu, "Don't even think about it. I don't have the money! I can't afford so much! If you want to repair it, you pay for it yourself. After all, you are the head of the family!"

Seeing this, Jia Dongxu knew that it would be harder than climbing to the sky to convince his mother to take the money. If he wanted to live, he had to take a step back and fill the hole! The maintenance master also asked for 50 yuan for the hole, because if the main beam was not replaced, the small crossbeam in the middle had to be replaced, because it was rotten and broken, otherwise there would be no big hole!

Principle, Jia Dongxu Frozen, the beams, Jia Dongxu looked at them all and knew that they had to be replaced! But I don’t have the money? I can only hope that my mother will show mercy!

When Jia Zhang learned that it would cost fifty yuan to repair a hole, she immediately started to curse, "You are such a black-hearted person, have you lost your conscience? What a big hole it is, other people only pay ten or twenty yuan for the job, but you are so black-hearted that you want to charge fifty yuan! You cheated me out of my money, and you didn't even ask who I am!"

He was so angry that he wanted to jump up and scratch the maintenance worker. The maintenance worker was so scared that he didn't care about anything else and ran away. He swore as he ran that he would never step into the No. 95 Courtyard again. He would not accept it no matter how much money he was offered. The people here were too scary! If this got out, his reputation would be ruined!

Jia Dongxu hugged the furious Jia Zhang, feeling miserable! How could he live like this! His strong mother was so controlled that she couldn't breathe, and his wooden wife just obeyed his orders!

The house was not repaired, but life still had to go on! Jia Dongxu, who still had a little self-esteem, did not want to ask Yi Zhonghai for help. He always felt that Yi Zhonghai had other intentions in accepting him as his apprentice!

In the steel mill, other masters are very cruel to their apprentices when they are not satisfied with them, either beating or scolding them, but they are also very attentive when teaching their apprentices! But my master, although he is very skilled, is the ceiling of fitters, an eighth-level worker!

He was very nice and amiable to me, but he just didn't take me seriously when teaching me. He would simply give me some advice and would just ignore me. When I asked him for advice, he would just figure it out on his own. Sometimes, he would just smoke and drink tea when he had free time, but he wouldn't even bother to teach me!

So, Jia Dongxu has always suspected that Yi Zhonghai has other thoughts? He even imagined that his father and Yi Zhonghai had a grudge, and Yi Zhonghai wanted to destroy him with a soft knife! If he can't learn the knowledge of benchwork, he can't take the exam, and if his level can't be promoted, his salary will not increase!

Jia Dongxu once thought that his judgment was correct. He really did not learn the knowledge of locksmithing from Yi Zhonghai! Sometimes, Yi Zhonghai taught him knowledge in front of everyone, but he couldn't understand it. When the fifth-level worker next door taught his apprentice, he could understand it after standing for a while. But why couldn't he understand what Yi Zhonghai taught?

"Mom, what do you want? How can I sleep at night if this house is not repaired?" Jia Dongxu begged.

"How can I sleep? I slept the same way I slept last night. How will I sleep today?" Last night, Jia Zhang forced Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu to sleep in her seat, and she ran to sleep in the seat inside!

"Mom, please fix the house quickly! It's too cold today!"

"Repair it, you pay for it?" He wanted Jia Zhang to pay for it, but there was no way.

"Mom, if you don't pay, I will go to the factory tomorrow to get an advance on my salary. From now on, I won't pay my salary at all!" Jia Dongxu couldn't stand it anymore and exploded!

"You dare? If you do this, you can't live in this house anymore. Get out!" Jia Zhang was also angry. She had never seen Jia Dongxu resist her!

When Jia Dafu was alive, Jia Zhang was very obedient, because Jia Dafu would beat her whenever he didn't like her. So, Jia Zhang's way of dealing with Jia Dongxu was also to beat her. In this way, Jia Dongxu gradually developed the habit of listening to Jia Zhang's words and became a mama's boy!

Now it was a rare opportunity for Jia Dongxu to resist, which made Jia Zhang furious. Life as a widow was already difficult, and if she didn't become more aggressive and unreasonable, she would not be able to support the family. Especially when Jia Dongxu was a minor, it was really difficult!

But once such a character is formed, it is difficult to change! Especially after being a widow for so many years, her psychology is somewhat distorted!

Chapter 14 Unlucky Jia Dongxu!

Under Jia Zhang's fierce gaze, Jia Dongxu's deep fear made him retreat. His first resistance failed as he turned and left the room! Qin Huairu was hiding in the kitchen outside, watching silently!

Jia Dongxu paced back and forth in the courtyard of the middle courtyard in a depressed mood. He hated himself for being useless and having no money!

Yi Zhonghai, who lived next door, watched the quarrel in the Jia family through the window. He had no intention of mediating. For his retirement plan, Jia Zhang was a stumbling block. He was happy to see the conflict between mother and son. The bigger the conflict, the happier he was!

Looking at Jia Dongxu in the yard, he wanted to wait a little longer, wait until Jia Dongxu couldn't stand the cold anymore, then call him home, have a good chat, and show some concern! He found that Jia Dongxu had been a little distant from him recently, and he wanted to talk to him and find out the reason!

The wind outside the window began to grow stronger, but Yi Zhonghai still felt that it was not strong enough and not cold enough!

Jia Dongxu is now freezing cold, but he can't afford to go home. Damn Qin Huairu, why can't she come out to help me? Jia Dongxu is so angry, what a wooden man!

He felt that life was meaningless. He was controlled by Jia Zhang at home and could not resist at all! At the steel mill, he was laughed at by his coworkers, who said he was useless. He had worked for three years but could not even pass the exam to become a second-level worker! In fact, did he dare to tell the real reason? Even if he did, would anyone believe him? They would say that they were stupid, lazy, and did not want to learn. If they could not pass the exam, they would find excuses to put the blame on the master!

Oh! Life is so tiring!

At this time, the northwest wind in the yard was getting stronger and stronger. The howling cold wind almost froze his bones. Jia Dongxu looked up at the roof of his house, wondering whether he should go up to reinforce it now. Just as he was thinking about it, a gust of wind blew, and the felt on the roof was lifted up. The felt wrapped in bricks directly covered Jia Dongxu who was standing there!

Bang! "Ah!" Jia Dongxu screamed and fell to the ground!

"Son!" "Dongxu!" "Jia Dongxu!"

When Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu heard Jia Dongxu's cry, they hurriedly ran out of the room. Yi Zhonghai, who had been standing in front of the window, also ran out in fright. He had been watching in front of the window. If anything happened to Jia Dongxu, all his efforts would be in vain!

As the shouting continued, people in the front and back yards were alarmed and ran over. They hurriedly pulled the felt covering Jia Dongxu away. When they saw Jia Dongxu's appearance, they all gasped!

Blood had seeped out of Jia Dongxu's head. The bandage used to wrap the small wound had been stained red with blood. Next to his head was a brick!

"Dongxu's "son"" Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang were lying beside Jia Dongxu, shaking him. Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and tried in front of Jia Dongxu's nostrils. Fortunately, he was breathing. Yi Zhonghai felt relieved a little!

"Shazhu, go borrow a car and take Jia Dongxu to the hospital!" Yi Zhonghai shouted to Shazhu who was standing in the crowd.

"No, last time I went, I didn't even get a thank you and was scolded instead. Whoever wants to go can go. I'm not going anyway!" Shazhu was unhappy. Why was he the one who did the work every time and also the one who suffered the loss?

"Shazhu, why are you like this? How can you be so unloving! We are all from the same compound, we should help each other and be united and friendly!" Yi Zhonghai hurriedly persuaded.

"No, last time I borrowed my car, I gave them a pack of cigarettes." Sha Zhu was still reluctant.
