After rebirth, dominate the courtyard

"Indeed, it is a miracle that Jia Dongxu managed to survive, not to mention that he has survived till now with such tenacity!"

Li Aimin said.

"That's true, but Jia Dongxu passed away at a young age. I just saw Jia Zhang in the courtyard, furious with Yan Bugui!"

"Yan Bugui was just asking a few questions out of concern." Lou Xiao'e recounted the scene in the courtyard just now.

"This matter has nothing to do with us. Jia Zhang is acting rudely and cannot distinguish between good and evil!"

Li Aimin analyzed helplessly.

"Tell me, what is so important that you want to tell me?" Lou Xiao'e instantly showed curiosity.

"This matter is of great importance. Please listen carefully and don't get excited!" Li Aimin said.

"Tell me, what is it that is so mysterious?"

Lou Xiao'e joked.

"This morning, I received an order and was promoted to the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in the afternoon!" Li Aimin smiled.

"Is this true?" After Li Aimin finished speaking, Lou Xiao'e's face showed ecstasy.

"It's too fast. You've been the deputy director for less than a week, and you've been promoted to director?" Lou Xiao'e was extremely surprised.

At this moment, she was extremely happy.

"Yes, I was also surprised, but this news came from the factory director Liu Haitian himself."

"He is about to be promoted and asked me to take over the position of factory director." Li Aimin said helplessly. Such a speed of promotion is rare.

"Ai Min, you are so outstanding. It took my father several years to become the factory director."

"I didn't expect that you would become the director of the steel mill in just half a month."

Lou Xiao'e was very excited.

Li Aimin smiled bitterly: "Maybe I am too outstanding!"

"No, this matter must be reported to the family in the afternoon."

Lou Xiao'e said excitedly.

"Okay, you can tell anyone you want to tell. It's all up to you." Li Aimin said with a smile.

"By the way, Ai Min, the person who mentioned the day before yesterday that he would decorate our house came to visit us this morning."

"Since you are not at home, I asked them to come again in the evening. Where will we stay during this renovation?" Lou Xiao'e looked at Li Aimin and asked. After all, the house would be difficult to live in after the renovation began.

"We will temporarily live in the library when the construction starts," Li Aimin replied.

"Well, that's fine!" Lou Xiao'e nodded. At least she had a place to stay.

"When the decorators arrive in the evening, we'll ask them how long it will take, and then we'll stay in a hotel for a few days."

Li Aimin said with a smile that there were few libraries at that time and most of them were state-owned.

He remembered there was a hotel nearby called "Friendship".

"For lunch, I'll cook a delicious meal for you, and there's some pork elbow left." Li Aimin said.

"Well, I thought you were not coming back, and was planning to cook by myself." Lou Xiao'e said.

"Let's make a braised pork elbow for lunch. I'm sure you've never tried it." Li Aimin suggested with a smile.

"Okay! I'll go steam the rice." Lou Xiao'e said as she stood up to help, but her legs went weak and she almost fell.

"Forget it, you don't need to move, just let me handle the rest."

Seeing this, Li Aimin said slightly embarrassedly that after all, Lou Xiao'e's condition today was all caused by him.

Lou Xiao'e's face turned slightly red.

"Okay, I'll take care of lunch today, you just take a rest." Lou Xiao'e said as she lay back on the bed. If she didn't take a short rest, she would have difficulty recovering in the afternoon.

In a blink of an eye!

Li Aimin simply cut the remaining pork elbow, went out, set up the stove, and started cooking.

After putting the meat and prepared seasoning into the pot!

Li Aimin began to light the firewood.

According to his estimation, it only needs to be simmered on high heat for half an hour, because this is not an ordinary pot, but a pressure cooker.

soon!

As Li Aimin stewed, the aroma in the pot became more and more intense.

The neighbors at this time only ate wild vegetables mixed with a little oil and salt.

Unlike Li Aimin, who can taste meat every few days.

Most importantly, who can resist this aroma?

In families with children, the children start to not eat well and start clamoring for meat.

This made many people envy Li Aimin, as his life was countless times better than that of everyone else in the compound.

At this moment!

When Jia Zhang smelled the aroma of Li Aimin's stewed pork elbow, her wrinkled face instantly fell.

In her opinion, Jia Dongxu's life was in danger, but Li Aimin was still enjoying the food. Was he celebrating?

"Damn Li Aimin! My son's life is hanging by a thread, and he still has the mind to stew meat!"

Jia Zhang's face turned pale and she said angrily!

"Mother-in-law, what does your meals have to do with us?" Qin Huairu said calmly.

"No, Li Aimin prepared a sumptuous feast today to celebrate Jia Dongxu's imminent death!"

"We need to get to the bottom of this matter!" After saying this, Jia Zhang went straight out the door!

Li Aimin was tasting the soup cooked in the cauldron to taste it.

Unexpectedly, just as he took a bite, Jia Zhang came over angrily!

This move shocked Li Aimin!

"What does stewing meat have to do with you?"

"Li Aimin, what is your purpose in doing this? Are you celebrating that my Dongxu is about to die?" Jia Zhang asked sternly as she approached.

This curse immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the courtyard!

Those who were having dinner at home were discussing this matter when they heard Jia Zhang's loud shouting and went out with their bowls in hand to see what was going on.

Li Aimin couldn't help but frown.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, what does my stewing of meat have to do with you?"

"Even if Jia Dongxu passed away, what does it have to do with me?" Li Aimin responded calmly.

"How can it be irrelevant? You didn't stew the meat earlier or later, but you waited until my Dongxu was seriously ill to start stewing the meat!"

"Isn't this obviously a celebration?" Jia Zhang said unreasonably.

At this moment, Liu Haizhong couldn't bear it. This was a good opportunity for him to get closer to Li Aimin!

He didn't ask for anything else, as long as people could see that he and Li Aimin were on good terms, that would be enough. Even if Li Aimin didn't help him, it would still be worth it!

"Ms. Jia Zhang, this is inappropriate. How can stewing meat for the sake of the people be considered a reason for celebration?"

With a beer belly sticking out from his bangs, he asked in dissatisfaction.

The onlookers were also displeased with Jia Zhang's behavior!

So, since your son is about to die, does that mean that no one in the courtyard can enjoy meat?

"Ms. Jia Zhang, this is your fault. How can Li Aimin's stewing meat be related to celebration?"

Yi Zhonghai on the side echoed.

Yan Bugui also hurriedly stepped out and accused Jia Zhang!

How could he miss such an opportunity to please Li Aimin?

Instantly, Jia Zhang was accused by the three elders and her face turned pale.

Li Aimin hadn't opened his mouth yet, but when he saw the three old men taking the initiative to speak for him, he stopped talking.

But in his heart, he was very satisfied with the actions of these three old men.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, please stop making trouble. Why don't you take this opportunity to spend some time with Jia Dongxu?" Yan Bugui advised.

"That's right, Li Aimin stewing meat has nothing to do with you!"

"In that case, no one in the compound is allowed to stew meat in the future?" Yan Bugui's wife added.

"You guys..."

"I won't argue with you anymore!" Jia Zhang was so angry that she could hardly speak!

Faced with so many accusations, no matter how thick-skinned you are, you can't withstand it.

Seeing that Jia Zhang was speechless after being scolded, Li Aimin smiled with satisfaction.

"Jia Zhang is too much. Ai Min, you don't have to pay attention to her. Just enjoy your meal!"

Liu Haizhong said while her pregnant belly was bulging.

"That's right, love the people and ignore her. Jia Zhang is really being unreasonable!" Yan Bugui said with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle One and Uncle Two, for doing justice for me. I am grateful!" Li Aimin replied.

"It's okay, it's just a small matter. This is what we should do. Maintaining harmony among neighbors is the most important thing."

Hearing this, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui burst into laughter.

Only Yi Zhonghai felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was no longer Uncle One or Uncle Two.

Li Aimin had a brief conversation and then continued to tend the fire under the stove.

Jia Zhang returned to her room and cried to Jia Dongxu: "Dongxu, did you hear that? Just now, those wicked people like Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui bullied me together!"

"I'm just asking for justice for you!"

"Mother-in-law!" Qin Huairu sighed helplessly. Seeing that Jia Zhang was indifferent, she took out the prepared hot water and the remaining coarse grains.

Qin Huairu simply ate some coarse grains, drank some hot water, and went out to work.

Everything in the family depends on her, so she has to make money.

Besides, it was obvious that Jia Dongxu would not die in the immediate future in this condition.

She would not be so stupid as to wait for Jia Dongxu to die before going to work!

What if Jia Dongxu survives a month? Does that mean we have to wait for him for a month?

And if I have no work for this month, what will I eat?

Therefore, this is why Qin Huairu has to go to work.

Soon, the meat stewed by Li Aimin was cooked.

He scooped out the pork elbow and took a bite.

"Mm, it tastes great and smells delicious!"

Li Aimin nodded with satisfaction and brought the food into the room.

Put it directly in front of Lou Xiaoe.

"What a delicious pork elbow. It makes me salivate just by looking at and smelling it!" Lou Xiao'e said excitedly as she looked at the big pork elbow.
