Siheyuan: Fatty’s Counterattack

The world that Fatty traveled to was not an orphan. He had parents and three sisters.

That's right, three. The eldest sister Chen Rong, the second sister Chen Yan, and the third sister Chen Fang. If this were left to 2023, the "Fudi Demon" would not have escaped.

As soon as I got home, I heard the third sister arguing with her parents: "Hasn't he already joined the factory? Let the factory assign him a room. I am 21 years old, how long will I have to live with him in bunk beds?"

The fat man was silent for a moment after hearing this, then opened the door curtain and entered the house. "Dad, mom, and third sister, I'm back."

Chen Fanggang was quarreling about him and felt a little embarrassed, so he just said yes and went into the back room.

His mother, Zhou Haiqin, quickly grabbed him and asked, "How are you today? Is there a lot of work? The people in the cafeteria didn't make things difficult for you, right?"

When he got a closer look, he couldn't help scolding him and said, "Look at how stupid you are. Go and wash your face quickly."

When I went outside to wash my face in the public kitchen, I met my second sister, who was guarding the pot cooking porridge. The fat man went over and took a look. It was another hodgepodge of sticks, mozi, and red potatoes.

There are six mouths to feed in the family, and among the four siblings, only the eldest sister earns a salary, life is very tight.

Chen Yan held a spoon and stirred the porridge mechanically, her eyes wandering, and she didn't know which dimension her thoughts were drifting to.

The fat man called out "Second Sister", and she came back to her senses. She stretched her head and looked around. Seeing that no one was around, she quickly took out a potato from under the stove, stuffed it into the fat man's hand, and said to him eagerly: "Fast food".

The fat man took the potato, his nose suddenly sore, and he almost stopped crying. The relationship between people in this era is really not like later. It is always filled with scrutiny and suspicion, and all kinds of conspiracy theories are prevalent...

Potatoes as big as a child's fist, simmered very doughy, sprinkle with a little salt and it's supremely delicious. The fat man broke the potato in half and ate it hungrily; just as Chen Yan was about to persuade him to eat slowly, the other half of the potato was stuffed into her mouth.

Chen Yan stared blankly at the little brother in front of her, feeling that he had changed a lot these days.

Although he feels a little weird, he knows how to call his second sister. He used to call her by name directly. He also knows how to be humble when there are good things. Even if it is half an apple or a few cherries, he has to share it equally with his sisters. What surprised Chen Yan was his demeanor and conversation.

The fat man in the past was used to making trouble in front of his parents, bullying others, being greasy and vulgar... At first glance, he looked like a traitor, and his face was disgusting!

But now the fat man has become more cheerful, his waist has straightened up, and he speaks and does things much calmer than before. The whole person was calm and confident.

Chen Yan ate half of the potato amidst the fat man's constant urging. When she saw the flour on his hair, she couldn't help but pour half a basin of hot water to wipe it with him.

At this moment, Chen Rong entered the room, carrying a few wotou in her hand. Seeing the affectionate look of their siblings, they were stunned for a moment, but without saying anything, they put the wotou down and went into the house on their own.

The fat man knew that the eldest sister was not targeting him, but that she was too tired. She was a woman and was assigned to the cleaning workshop. Braving the 40-degree high temperature every day, the clothes all over my body would get wet or dry, and I couldn't complain even if my sweat beads fell to the ground and smashed into pieces.

Because she joined the Red Star Factory in place of Zhou Haiqin, her younger brothers and sisters were counting on her monthly salary of 32 yuan to support them!

这个时代的学徒工刚进厂是18块5的工资。第二年能涨到20块5，第三年才32块5，转正以后才是后来熟知的38块5。

Fatty lives at home 4 and is 19 years old this year. His parents preferred him to finish junior high school, while the other three sisters only had primary school education. Now he was asked to take over Lao Chen's job and work as an apprentice in the Red Star Factory, earning 3 yuan.

The fat man finished tidying up his hair and went into the house to wait for dinner. Chen Rong and Chen Fang set up the tables and chairs, and the fat man's father, Chen Gangqiang, sat aside and read the newspaper.

The fat man thought for a while and went over to him and said, "Dad, I reported to the factory today and was assigned to the canteen. The canteen starts work at 6 o'clock every morning, so I thought that no matter where there is a vacancy, I would move out first..."

Chen Gang closed the newspaper forcefully and stared: "I can't accommodate you at home anymore? Are you going to fly?"

"Dad, it's inconvenient! Firstly, our house is too far away from the factory, and secondly, what's the point of me, a big man, hanging around in front of three sisters all day long? It won't sound good if word spreads!"

Chen Fang, who was dividing the chopsticks, heard this, shook her hands and dropped the chopsticks to the ground...

Chen Rong also looked at the fat man in surprise. The younger brother was really different from before. He knew how to give in to his elder sister. That "man" was not in vain.

There are six people in their family, but they only have one and a half rooms. The eldest sister and the second sister lived in half of the room, and the fat man lived in the larger room with the third sister and his parents.

What should I do if there is not enough room to live in? Just figure it out yourself! Later, a three-bedroom apartment with one living room could accommodate 7 people. Is this a big deal?

Chen Gangqiang separated one room with a plywood and set up a canopy bed. Chen Fang slept on the upper bunk and Fatty slept on the lower bunk. They have lived like this until now.

It's just that the fat man is getting older day by day. Sometimes he wakes up after holding in his urine and runs out to use the public restroom with a pendulum swing, so that his sisters see him, which makes him blush again.

So it is imperative to find a house and move out. His requirements are not high, as long as it is a house. Fatty didn't really plan to sleep in it anyway.

Isn’t the cabin on the farm nice? There is a bed to sleep on, and if you want to take a bath, there is a pool behind the house. A small waterfall flows down from the mountain. The water is clean and clear, many times better than the secondary water supply in another world.

After a meal of shredded pickles and steamed buns, the fat man lay on the bed helplessly, suffering from heartburn.

Chen Fang came in wearing boxer shorts and a vest. He hesitated and sat on the only chair and said, "Is everything you said today true?"

After getting along with each other for several days, Fatty has almost figured out the tempers of his three sisters.

The eldest sister is gentle and modest, the second sister is honest and dull, and the third sister has sharp teeth. She has been the least able to deal with him since she was a child. But to say that the relationship is deep, it has to be with the third sister. The more they are like enemies, the better the relationship will be.

At least the fat man would take the initiative to tell the third sister if he had something on his mind, but he didn't dare to tell the eldest sister and the second sister.

The fat man sat up and saw that the skin on Chen Fang's arms and legs were so unabashedly exposed. He quickly turned around and lay down on his side with his back to her.

Chen Fang was dissatisfied and kicked him directly: "Get up!"

This Tigress... The fat man stood up helplessly and faced the wall: "It's true. Anyway, I will find a way."

Chen Fang stopped talking after hearing this. After a while, she said, "I didn't want to drive you away." There was a cry in her tone.
