The ups and downs of life in the Siheyuan

Li Yuan's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and he was reluctant to put his mind to the button.

When he was boiling water just now, he imagined a lot: a lot of money, a lot of food and drink, a magical elixir for cultivating immortality, and a beautiful woman would make it even more beautiful.

It is precisely because his expectations are too high that he is now worried about gains and losses.

After hesitating for a few minutes, he laughed secretly. He was really incompetent. He already had a panel that could be called a magic weapon, and he was still thinking about fine wine, delicious food and beautiful women.

Let’s not talk about food and drink, let’s talk about beautiful women. How can he arrange them for him? How to explain to the hospital then?

As for the money ticket, even if it contains a bicycle ticket, would he dare to use it? When someone reports him, how can he explain where he came from?

His circle is just that big, and the only ways to get bicycle tickets are through work and ghost markets.

It's impossible in the workplace. He hasn't seen this thing much since he went to work. Ghost market, does he dare to admit it? The crime of privately reselling social goods cannot be escaped.

By then, after the work is done, we have to go to the eastern suburbs to sift sand.

After thinking about this, he became free and easy in his heart, and his utilitarianism was much reduced.

The mind is focused on the button, several objects appear to the right of the button, and the button turns gray.

1 pound of lard, half a pound of White Rabbit toffee, 5 pounds of white flour, and 1 chicken drumstick.

"Good things", these are the things he lacks the most now.

He put the 10 kilograms of white flour he just bought at the grain store the day before yesterday, plus these 5 kilograms, into the first box. Lard, toffee, and chicken legs occupied their own space.

He dug out a broken wooden box under the bed, which contained about 150 yuan of soft girl coins. There was no receipt. In the past few years, the 25th of every month had been his day for crazy shopping.

Basically use up all the bills to save money from others borrowing.

Today's tickets are mainly for daily necessities, such as food stamps, cloth stamps, gas stamps, meat stamps, and some large items.

There is no need to pay for buying pigs, cattle, sheep offal and ribs. I don’t know which year started, but these also require tickets. From a time perspective, it’s either next year or the year after.

"Hey, life is hard!"

Fortunately, the system is powerful, and today’s check-in materials are all related to food. If this is the case in the future, he will no longer be afraid of the future.

He touched his underfed belly and looked at the meat in the storage compartment, but he was troubled.

Everyone is hungry now, so they are very sensitive to the taste of food. If meat is cooked in the hospital, everyone in the hospital will know about it.

In this difficult time, it’s okay if you eat and drink outside so that no one can see you. In the compound, if you eat alone, there will be more people chewing your tongue.

Not afraid, but troublesome.

After drinking a cup of high breakage, I felt warm all over.

At this time, people in the compound started to go to work, and Li Yuan was too lazy to bother and walked out of the compound.

The snow was still falling, and I almost saw people holding umbrellas. They all put on their hats, wrapped their clothes tightly, and rushed into the heavy snow.

"It's early in the morning, it's early in the morning, brother Jia".

Li Yuan walked out of the room and happened to see the master and apprentice walking over.

"Good morning, Xiao Li".

"Morning, Motoko".

The three of them exchanged simple greetings, walked out of the courtyard, and went their separate ways.

"Master, this guy is a bit broken right now."

"It's because of his lack of adult control that he indulged himself to such an extent. Xiao Li's nature is not bad, and we still need positive guidance in the future."

"I hope you won't be a bad imitator. Jing Tian'er drank with the two boys from the scrap yard. He was unconscious yesterday and didn't know how to save money to tidy up the house and buy some belongings."

"Everyone has his or her own ambitions. We are all adults. We just have to do our best."

"Yes, he was such a good boy when he was a child. He lent me the money he squandered. He doesn't know how difficult my life is now. When he gets married, I will pay him back and it will be considered a savings. Pen".

"The wind and snow are too strong, stop talking, be careful of getting cold." Yi Zhonghai didn't want to continue talking about this topic and stopped the chat.

"It's up to you," Jia Dongxu curled his lips inadvertently.

After a while, Li Yuan came to the street waste collection station.

Don't listen to the name, but it is a public institution and has a formal establishment.

There are a total of 5 people in the scrap collection station. The station manager Wang Shengli is in his 30s and less than 40 years old. He is a veteran and was transferred here the year before last.

Uncle Song, the gatekeeper, has weak legs and feet. He is a retired veteran who had his left leg amputated in 53.

There are two others like him, ordinary employees and laborers. Sorting, weighing, and delivering goods are all the three of them's jobs.

One of them, Chen Bing, is 19 years old and has a bit of a wild temper. He often hangs out with people on the street after get off work.

The other one is Liang Zhixiang, 20 years old, honest and honest, 180cm tall and tall, and the main force of the three workers.

Li Yuan didn't like to show off in the past, but he got along well with the two of them.

We often drink together, and the meat is either pork ribs or offal. Liang Zhixiang is the cook, and the two of them are diners.

Occasionally I would invite Uncle Song, and the four of us would drink and eat meat together.

The webmaster seldom participates. If there is nothing special, he must go home on time after get off work.

"Uncle Song, morning."

"Oh, it's Xiao Li, why are you here so early today?" Uncle Song opened the door with a smile and let Li Yuan in.

"It's snowing, so leave early, for fear of being late."

"Hey, it's okay for you to be close to home. It's hard for the three of them to talk today. They will all be late for no reason."

"Uncle Song, have you eaten?"

"Eat", after saying that, he heard a grunting sound. He was not embarrassed and still smiled.

In this day and age, being hungry is the norm, and no one will laugh at anyone.

"Uncle, I will provide the meat and you will provide the wine. What time will we spend the night?"

"Houzi, have you been staring at my half bottle of Maotai for half a year? Okay, it's snowing heavily today, so I drank it at night."

"Then wait a minute, I'll go to the vegetable market and get some meat."

"The road is slippery, so be careful when walking."

"Just take a look."

Li Yuan can be regarded as signing in. It's snowing heavily today, so there's basically no business, so I'm relatively free.

After walking three blocks, we arrived at the vegetable market. Although it was snowing heavily and there were not many people inside, the marks on the ground showed that there were quite a lot of people here just now.

There are no vegetables in this season, only meat stalls, and the folks who used to sell live chickens didn’t come today.

Those live chickens are not planned by each village, and are usually brought to the city by live-in people in the village to help exchange money or other items.

Because it is unplanned, no tickets are required. If it is a hen that lays eggs, he gets 2 yuan, and the rooster gets 1 yuan and 5 yuan.

There are not many people at the meat stall now, only two aunts are picking and choosing.

Li Yuan noticed that on the chopping board, there were only lean meat, ribs and pork belly.

Li Yuan's goal had been set long ago, which was to get spare ribs without meat. He explained to the chef to add more lean meat when deboning, weighed 2 kilograms, and the total cost was only 7 cents.

The butcher was probably bored, so he was very patient and helped Li Yuan chop it into pieces and put them into the bamboo basket he had prepared in advance.

The two aunties next to me were still gesticulating, trying to get as much fat as possible.

Looking at Li Yuan who was enjoying the transaction, both of them curled their lips with disdain on their faces.

Li Yuanyou didn't bother to respond. If you dare to provoke such an aunt, I won't even scold you for a long time.

Stationmaster Wang saw Li Yuan coming back with a bamboo basket in his hand and said, "Xiao Li, why are you late!"
