Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

As Chen Xu rode his bike to Sijiu City, he warned himself not to indulge in beauty.

It is wrong to always bully young girls. Men should focus on their careers. Starting a family is just around the corner. Now that you have a family, all that is left is to start a career...

Well, this guy actually hasn't recovered yet. The space can help him get rid of negative states, but it can't provide him with nutrition, so Chen Xu is still in sage time.

It is estimated that he had completely forgotten his lofty ambition before reaching Sijiu City.

Returning guns and handing over supplies were already familiar tasks for him.

Several buyers who also came back to deliver supplies looked at Chen Xu's harvest, then looked at their own, and began to consider whether they should go to the countryside like Chen Xu. After all, they really couldn't get anything in the old city.

There are many factories and buyers in the old city, and the people are also trying every means to get supplies. Under such circumstances, it would be very disappointing to try your luck in the city.

Facing several buyers who came to inquire about the situation in the countryside, Chen Xu told the truth.

The countryside doesn't seem so scary, but it's not so peaceful either, and it's hard to say what can be purchased. It's difficult to have big gains given the current situation in the countryside.

Moreover, the walking blind boxes of buyers are very tempting to some people with bad intentions.

Apart from anything else, the bicycle and the money on it are enough to attract people's attention.

Even if you have a gun, you may not be safe. Gun control is not strict nowadays. If you have a gun, others may have one too. Moreover, you are in the open and he is in the dark. If they really want to get you, it will be very difficult for you to escape.

The reason why Chen Xu had not encountered any accidents might be that others were not sure what this guy was doing. After all, he did not take out the basket that a purchaser must have. He did not look like someone who was out for purchasing, but more like a village cadre who was out on business.

This kind of people usually don't have much money, and people won't go to this kind of people even if they are desperate. There is not much gain and it is easy to get themselves involved. The gain and the cost are totally disproportionate, so naturally not many people are willing to do it.

Chen Xu did not persuade others not to go to the countryside, lest others think that he was jealous of others doing better than they are.

I can only say that the countryside is indeed unsafe, and you need to be more careful when purchasing in the countryside.

As for whether he could listen to it, that was not something he should worry about.

Everyone knows that there are risks. If you accidentally get hurt, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

In this day and age, a few deaths are really nothing, and usually the murderer cannot be found.

The director was very satisfied with Chen Xu's harvest. The fresh game and dried goods were what the kid insisted on having. It was not in vain that his efforts to make him a regular employee were made. The harvest from these few times was worth his attention.

He turned around and glared at the other unlucky guys.

"Can't you get something else? We only have vegetables every day, you can switch to potatoes."

Others are in tears. Potatoes are not easy to get nowadays, and many people buy them as staple food.

Chen Xu felt a little embarrassed. It was not a good feeling to be a target, so he quickly left.

I went to the screening room, but Xu Damao was not there. I don't know if he was still in the hospital or hadn't come to work.

Looking at the time, it was not far from lunch time. He had no intention of going back, so he found a place to stay and wait for the meal.

As for going out, he definitely wouldn't go. He had been conscripted three times, so how could he let the head of the security department conscript him for the fourth time?

It was the same old cabbage and radish, which made Chen Xu's mouth taste bland.

In fact, he likes to eat green vegetables, but the prerequisite is that he has to add more oil and he can't eat them every day.

Compared to him, the workers work harder, and it is difficult to maintain their physical strength with such food, so it is understandable that people eat more these days.

The quality is not good enough, but the quantity makes up for it. Unfortunately, not many people can eat it to their heart's content these days.

Fortunately, the steel rolling mill is also aware of this situation. Meat processing plants are really popular these days, and those who can get meat are capable people. Of course, it mainly depends on allocation from above, and it is part of the planned materials. But even so, if a part of the monthly allocated materials is missing, there is nothing you can do about it, as the conditions are like this.

Therefore, it is normal to please the leaders of the meat processing plant. In order to add some fat and water to the bowls of the workers, the leaders also try their best.

As for the buyers under them, they are just trying their luck to see if they can get unplanned materials, and usually they don’t get much, so the position of buyer is really embarrassing.

Those who can get supplies are the boss, and those who can’t are looked down upon. There is nothing that can be done about it.

Director Chen treats Chen Xu very well, naturally because he can get things. If he were the same as others, he probably wouldn't even look at him.

Chen Xu is well aware of this. No one will be nice to you for no reason.

If you are worthless, don't blame dogs for despising you.

Chen Xu, who was an orphan in both his past and present lives, understands this truth better than most people.

After returning to the courtyard, Chen Xu knocked on Xu Damao's door, but there was no response.

I guess this guy is either in the hospital or with his parents.

Chen Xu turned around and went back to the backyard.

As for the old woman with triangular eyes who was sitting at the door pretending to sew shoe soles and Qin Huairu who was washing clothes with her big butt sticking out, he didn't even look at them.

Now that we have fine grains, who would continue to eat bran?

"This kid is simply outrageous. He saw me, an old man, and didn't even say hello."

It was not until Chen Xu disappeared that Jia Zhang started to curse.

Obviously, Chen Xu's action of pulling out a knife when they disagreed with each other last time was still a bit intimidating to Jia Zhang.

Compared with her previous disdain for Chen Xu, she disliked him even more now that he had moved into a bigger house and had a formal job.

From a penniless outsider to a person with a house and a job now, Chen Xu's conditions have surpassed most of the residents of the courtyard houses. Naturally, people like Jia Zhang will find fault with him.

To put it bluntly, it's typical that he can't stand seeing others do better than him.

In the Siheyuan, it is normal to hate you and laugh at you.

Even if Chen Xu concealed most of his conditions, the things he put on the table still made people jealous, there was nothing he could do about it.

Chen Xu himself didn't take it seriously. He doesn't care what you say behind your back. Just don't let him catch you red-handed.

The deaf old lady in the backyard sighed as she watched Chen Xu return empty-handed.

She wanted to take advantage of him, but in her eyes, Chen Xu's life was worse than hers.

It's normal to think about it. Chen Xu has not even worked for a month at most, so naturally he can't have much money.

But it can also be predicted that this kid's life will get better and better.

"Is Xiao Chen back?"

"Yes."

The two of them were just casually greeting each other. Since the deaf old man was willing to chat, Chen Xu would not ignore it.

Even if you have no intention of having anything to do with this old lady, you still have to put in the effort to appear nice.

If an elderly person takes the initiative to say hello and then just turns around and leaves, it can only be said that he does not understand the ways of the world. Besides, there is no conflict between the deaf old lady and Chen Xu.

The lady next to him didn't say anything until she saw Chen Xu enter the house.

“This child of the Chen family has finally established a foothold in the Forty-Nine City, which is not easy.”

She also witnessed Chen Xu's experience this year. It was not easy for someone who fled famine to end up like Chen Xu.

The deaf old lady nodded slightly, what the aunt said was true.

Regardless of his strength or luck, Chen Xu, who has come this far, is worthy of her taking a look at him.

This is human nature.

Weakness and ignorance have never been obstacles to survival, arrogance is.

The deaf old lady thought that if she took the initiative to get closer to Chen Xu, he would have a good impression of her. She had no idea that in Chen Xu's eyes, she was just an ordinary neighbor.

If she put some story about the ancestors of the Siheyuan in front of him, Chen Xu would immediately tell her why the flowers are so red, that feudal ideas are unacceptable, and that we have to go to the street office to talk about it.
