Siheyuan: I have traveled through time and space and still can’t eat enough?

Time flies, and soon it's time to go home from school.

Yan Jiekuang spent the whole day in a daze.

I didn't pay any attention to what the teacher said and just slept on the table all day.

After all, he was a serious college student who graduated in 1985 in his previous life. The knowledge that his current teachers taught was too superficial and he had no interest in it at all.

For him, going to school is simply a waste of life.

But he can't drop out of school now. First of all, he can't get past his father. Besides, having a junior high school diploma will be very helpful for finding a job in the future.

Yan Jiekuang thought: If I can just hold on for another half a year, I can stop going to school and start working. I can also improve my life in a fair and honest way.

After school he did not go straight home but came to the door of a state-owned store.

He still remembered that he had promised Hu Zi in the morning to buy candy.

Although he is narrow-minded and holds grudges, he still has to fulfill his words.

"Sister, do I need a ticket for this candy?" Yan Jiekuang still remembered the embarrassment in the morning, so he didn't directly say what he wanted to buy, but asked first whether he needed a ticket.

But after waiting for a long time, no one responded.

Yan Jiekuang could only continue to shout to the salesperson: "Big sister, big sister."

"Why are you shouting? Are you in a hurry to be reborn? Hard candies don't require tickets, they're 10 cents and 5 yuan. White Rabbit milk candies require tickets, they're 10 cents and 1 yuan." Yan Jiekuang shouted three times in a row before the salesperson spat out the melon seed shells in his mouth and answered impatiently.

Although he was angry, he didn't dare to say anything more.

This is not the past. In order to sell things, salespeople almost treat customers as ancestors. As long as you give them a chance to speak, they will never let you drop the conversation.

That's how it is in this era. A salesperson is one of the eight major employees and has a lot of benefits. People would not change this position even if it was given to them by a leader, so everyone is quite arrogant.

Looking at the impatient salesperson, Yan Jiekuang did not dare to lose his temper. After all, this was not directed at him, but the same for everyone.

"Big sister, could you please help me get a dollar's worth of hard candy? Here's the money. Thank you for your help."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Seeing how polite the other party was, the salesperson's expression softened and he packed fifty pieces of hard candy and handed them to him.

Yan Jiekuang took the candy and turned away. He didn't dare to stay in such a place for long.

I don’t have a ticket, so I can watch but can’t buy. It’s so frustrating!

Besides, after spending this dollar, you will only have one dollar and a dime left in your hand. You can't squander it until you find other ways to make money.

If there is an emergency and you need money, you will be in trouble.

While thinking about how to make some money, he stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or because the sugar of that era didn’t have those messy things added to it, but Yan Jiekuang felt that this candy was even more delicious than the milk candy of later generations.

As they were eating and walking, as soon as they entered the alley, Yan Jiekuang saw Wang Xiaohu playing games with his friends.

"Huzi, come here."

Wang Xiaohu ran to Yan Jiekuang's side, looked up and asked, "How do you know Uncle Kuang?"

Looking at the skinny boy in front of him, he liked him more and more. After all, everyone likes a sweet-talking and sensible child.

He touched his head and said with a smile: "Didn't uncle promise to buy you candy this morning?"

Before Yan Jiekuang finished speaking, he saw Hu Zi's eyes becoming brighter and brighter, looking at him expectantly.

Looking at the little boy with shining eyes, Yan Jiekuang did not tease him, but took out a piece of candy from his pocket and handed it to Hu Zi.

"We have already agreed that I can give you the candy, but don't tell anyone else. Otherwise, other kids will come to uncle to ask for candy, and you won't have any in the future!"

"Yes, I will definitely not tell anyone. Thank you, Uncle Jie Kuang." Wang Xiaohu quickly assured.

Looking at Wang Xiaohu's excited face, Yan Jiekuang couldn't help but sigh: Children of this generation are so easy to satisfy, they can be so happy with just a piece of candy.

He glanced at Wang Xiaohu who ran back to play games with his friends.

Yan Jiekuang had no intention of staying and walked leisurely towards the courtyard.

But just as he reached the door, he heard: "His second aunt, did you know that Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu went into the woods?"

"What? This is true! Aunt Zhang, don't talk nonsense. This is no small matter." The second aunt looked surprised.

The group of women around also looked at Aunt Zhang curiously.

"How could I say such nonsense? People saw it with their own eyes. Didn't they say at the meeting yesterday that they were unclear? It seems that what Xu Damao said may not be completely false!"

When Yan Jiekuang was listening with great interest, he saw an old lady who was over 1.5 meters tall and weighed nearly 200 kilograms rushing out.

She jumped up and down while cursing, "You are lacking in virtue, a bunch of gossiping women."

"You are the ones who are running into the woods with the fool! If I hear you talking nonsense again, I will go to your house and make a scene!"

The aunties looked at Jia Zhang who had jumped out, but they didn't say anything back. Everyone knew what kind of person she was, and after all, they were the ones who were talking about her behind her back, and they were caught red-handed, so they were too embarrassed to refute.

Several people were too embarrassed to stay where they were and hurried back to their homes.

Looking at the scattered aunties, Yan Jiekuang thought: This Xu Damao is really efficient! He just gave him an idea yesterday, and today the news spread throughout the alley.

If he could focus on the right path, he might become a big shot in the future!

Since Jia Zhang knew about this matter, no matter whether it was true or false, there would definitely be something good to watch when the people in the courtyard came back from get off work.

Humming a tune as he walked into the house, Yan Jiekuang saw his little sister doing her homework alone. He didn't know where the others had gone, so he went over to her and said, "Xie, look what I brought back for you."

Yan Jiekuang took out a piece of candy from his pocket and placed it in his palm.

"Wow, candy. Third brother, where did you get this candy? Is it for me?" Yan Jiedi's face showed five parts of excitement and five parts of confusion.

She wondered where her third brother got the candy from and why he never gave her any before!

"Of course it's for you, otherwise why would I take it out! As for where I got it from, don't worry about it, I have a way anyway."

"But I can give you the candy, but you can only eat it secretly. You can't tell anyone, including our parents, otherwise I won't give you anything delicious in the future."

Even if a piece of candy is known to others, it won't matter as the source can always be found, but he will definitely give his sister other delicious food in the future. If it happens more often, he won't have so many excuses.

It would be fine if he just ate it secretly, but looking at his sister's thin body, Yan Jiekuang felt inexplicably distressed.

Whether in his past or present life, he has never experienced family love.

The two elder brothers have been trained by Yan Bugui and his wife to be selfish. But the younger sister is still young and her personality has not yet been formed. If you guide her more and care about her, you can still cultivate feelings.

Besides, even if my father found out, I had money to buy food. The worst that could happen was that I would just tell my father about giving advice to Xu Damao. At most I would be criticized and educated, but my life would not be threatened, so it was no big deal.

Looking at the candy in Third Brother's hand, Yan Jiedi immediately agreed: "I will definitely not tell anyone! Third Brother, you are so nice!"

"Well, eat it. When I get a job, I'll buy you more delicious food."
