Siheyuan: After traveling through time, who can still be an honest person?

"Why don't you live a hard life?"

Zhong Yuemin cursed in his heart, only fools would not enjoy the good days.

It's easy for the man named Cao to talk without any pain in his waist.

"Who said I didn't just live a hard life?"

Cao Yue sighed, "I now eat two corn tortillas every day as a reminder of my past. Every meal should be remembered for its hard work. Whenever I think of the hard work of my parents, I have to reflect on myself and cherish my current life."

Zhong Yuemin looked at the environment in Cao Yue's home. If he believed a word of it, he would be a fool.

Just now.

He Yushui walked in carrying a sack and said happily as he walked, "Cao Yue, I brought you some beef ribs. Come and have a look. They weigh more than ten pounds."

When Zhong Yuemin saw this scene, he stared at Cao Yue, wanting him to give an explanation.

This is what they call hard times?!

Cao Yue reacted quickly and explained to Zhong Yuemin: "You see, my family can't even afford meat. We can only gnaw on unwanted bones to satisfy our cravings. It's so pitiful."

Zhong Yuemin felt very upset. If he could beat Cao Yue, he would have spit in his face.

This is shameless!

It is different now than in later times. In the 1960s, beef ribs were all skeletons, and the butchers shaved the meat so cleanly that flies would slip on them.

The beef ribs that He Yushui bought had a lot of meat on them. Cao Yue had specially asked an acquaintance to reserve them from the meat processing factory.

He Yushui noticed that there was a guest and asked with a smile: "Cao Yue, who is this young comrade?"

"His name is Zhong Yuemin, and he is a friend I met outside." Cao Yue briefly introduced He Yushui again.

"This is He Yushui, my classmate. She lives in the middle courtyard."

"Hello sister, Sister Yushui is so beautiful."

Zhong Yuemin has a sweet mouth.

There is no woman who doesn't like to be praised, and He Yushui immediately had a good impression of him.

"Here's fifty-five dollars, twenty-five of which you borrowed."

Cao Yue gave the money to Zhong Yuemin, found a pen and paper and asked him to write an IOU, then signaled him to leave.

Zhong Yuemin hadn't eaten meat for many days. When he saw the beef ribs, he was drooling with greed. He was not willing to leave and insisted on staying.

This kid is very outgoing and thick-skinned. He calls everyone "brother" all the time, and Cao Yue really has no way to deal with him.

kitchen.

Cao Yue chopped the ribs into small pieces, and then instructed: "Yushui, stew five or six pieces of ribs tonight, and then add some potatoes and beans. Eat corn cakes as the staple food, and don't cook other dishes."

"Ah? Don't you dislike eating whole grains?" He Yushui asked puzzledly.

Cao Yue pointed outside and explained in a low voice: "The guy outside is just a dog-skin plaster, and he's also a poor guy. If he eats well today, what will happen if he comes to eat for free in the future?"

"If he hadn't seen the ribs, I would have served him corn mush tonight."

"There's no need to do this, right?" He Yushui didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She knew that Cao Yue was not a stingy person and was generally very generous. She didn't know why he was so stingy towards Zhong Yuemin.

"Cao Yue, I think Xiao Zhong is starving. When he saw the beef ribs just now, his eyes sparkled and he wanted to grab them and eat them raw. He looked really pitiful."

"Guests are welcome. It would be a shame if we kept our good stuff hidden away."

People nowadays would rather starve themselves than let their guests be well fed.

"Is he pitiful?"

Cao Yue said disdainfully: "This kid's father got into trouble, and the government gives him 15 yuan a month for living expenses. As soon as the money comes, this kid goes out to eat and drink with his friends. I met him eating roast duck at Quanjude not long ago."

"Roast duck? I've never eaten at Quanjude in my life. Who did you go with?" He Yushui looked at Cao Yue with sparkling eyes.

Cao Yue was speechless. Women and men think differently. Was the focus of his speech about roast duck?

"I'll take you there when I'm free in a few days." Cao Yue could only make a promise.

"Okay." He Yushui said with a smile.

She didn't care whether she ate roast duck or not, but Cao Yue never refused her request, so she felt cared for and valued.

"That kid is coming." Cao Yue heard footsteps.

He Yushui stopped talking.

"Brother, sister, do you need my help?"

Zhong Yuemin walked over from the living room.

"Xiao Zhong, go sit in the living room and leave this to me." He Yushui said with a smile.

"Can you cook? Don't make things worse. Let's go out and have some tea."

Cao Yue chopped the ribs, handed the remaining work to He Yushui, and led Zhong Yuemin back to the living room.

Since only one dish was cooked, He Yushui prepared dinner quickly.

Yu Haitang did not come tonight because she was recuperating from an injury, so Cao Yue didn't have to introduce her to Zhong Yuemin.

This kid is very cunning, and Cao Yue is really worried that he will see something.

Zhong Yuemin sat at the dining table, looking at the pitifully few ribs in the bowl, and the only stew, and looked at Cao Yue, as if asking, "Is this your way of entertaining guests?"

"Yuemin, don't be polite. You must eat well tonight."

Cao Yue took a tortilla and handed it over.

Zhong Yuemin was already hungry, and the aroma of the ribs made him unable to resist any longer, so he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Looking at Zhong Yuemin wolfing down his food, Cao Yue's appetite also increased and the tortillas tasted particularly delicious.

Twenty minutes later.

Zhong Yuemin drank all the soup, wiped his mouth, and burped comfortably.

"Sister, your cooking skills are amazing. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Zhong Yuemin looked at He Yushui and smiled.

"Okay, eat your fill and go home quickly. It's getting dark." Cao Yue started to chase people away.

He Yushui's eyes moved and she glanced at Cao Yue, her eyebrows and eyes curved with a smile.

She stood up and smiled, "It's time for me to go home, too."

After saying that, He Yushui said goodbye to Cao Yue and Zhong Yuemin and returned home.

Zhong Yuemin watched He Yushui leave and said angrily, "You are too stingy. You only gave me two pieces of ribs out of more than ten pounds. If this gets out, it will be a disgrace to you, the director."

"You kid picked up the bowl to eat meat, but you ignored me when you put it down. Did I do anything wrong by letting you eat and drink for free?" Cao Yue glared.

Zhong Yuemin smiled and said, "Brother, I'm just worried that the ribs will go bad if left until tomorrow due to the hot weather."

……

The next day, early in the morning, Zhong Yuemin came to the hospital and met the little bastard and Li Kuiyong in the ward.

Zhong Yuemin was very proud and didn't want to meet this young man with a scar on his face. He called Li Kuiyong out and gave him the money.

"Yuemin, I won't say thank you, I will find a way to return the money to you."

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it later."

Zhong Yuemin knew that Li Kuiyong's family was not well off, so he did not tell him not to pay it back, in order to avoid hurting his friend's self-esteem.

"How did your friend get injured?" Zhong Yuemin asked casually.

Li Kuiyong smiled bitterly: "The woman who was photographing the woman met a tough guy and had her wrist broken alive."

"Who is so cruel? I'll meet him when I get a chance." Zhong Yuemin became interested.

"Don't do that, Yuemin. Take my advice and run as far away from him as possible if you see him."

To be convincing, Li Kuiyong no longer concealed the truth, "I have been practicing wrestling since I was a child, and it is no problem for me to beat three or five people. But when I met him, I couldn't withstand a single blow. He even showed mercy, otherwise I would be lying in the hospital now."

"Is it really that powerful?"

Zhong Yuemin was surprised. He knew Li Kuiyong's strength well. If they really fought one-on-one, he might not be his opponent.

"interesting."

Zhong Yuemin's eyes rolled around and he suddenly had an idea. Cao Yue was also a good fighter. If he could lead the two of them to fight, wouldn't it be... very interesting?

"Kui Yong, do you know what that person's name is? Where does he live?"

"Yuemin, I'm not kidding you, don't do anything stupid." Li Kuiyong said seriously.

He thought that Zhong Yuemin was going to avenge him and would naturally not let him go and die.

"I won't do anything reckless. Someone has bullied me several times and he is very skilled. I want to let them fight each other and then we can sit back and watch the fight." Zhong Yuemin said with a wicked grin.

Li Kuiyong was relieved. He frowned and thought for a while and said, "I don't know where that person lives, but I know his name. It seems to be Cao Yue."

"Cao Yue..."

Zhong Yuemin's facial muscles stiffened instantly.

It's really a narrow road for enemies!
