Xu Damao's Thirty-Six Stratagems in Siheyuan

After get off work, Xu Damao took Xu Jun and He Jianxin back to Yard 95 from the nursery. As soon as they entered the middle courtyard, they smelled the aroma of roast duck.

Damn, there are people eating roast duck in the Central Courtyard?! How dare they be so arrogant!

I smelled it carefully again, and it was probably the smell coming from Jia's house.

Awesome! A roast duck for eight yuan. Jia Zhang and Bang Geng actually ate the roast duck behind closed doors.

Xu Damao thought that the Jia family could afford roast duck. It was normal for two lazy people and a foodie to eat roast duck. He just sold a workstation for 700 yuan, plus Jia Dongxu's pension of 500 yuan a few months ago, more than 1,000 yuan, and they could eat roast duck every day for half a year.

Hehe, have you finished eating? Xu Damao felt that Uncle Yi Zhonghai still had some work to do.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai had long intended to ignore the Jia family, but now the old lady in the backyard still needs his support, and the inheritance of the two rooms cannot be lost, otherwise Yi Zhonghai would have wanted to exchange houses with others and leave No. 95 Courtyard.

People in the courtyard came back one after another. Xu Damao had a sharp nose and could smell it, but the others were not so sharp. But he couldn't resist showing off, so he opened the door, held the roast duck with the skin rolled up, and stood at the door, chewing the roast duck roll.

The people in the compound were really jealous. While everyone else was eating coarse food, the Jia family was eating roast duck.

Especially when he came home and saw the old man Yi Zhonghai stuffing roast duck rolls into his mouth, he cursed Jia Zhangshi for being a bad person and Jia Geng for being an ungrateful bastard. The Jia family owed more than a thousand yuan and had nowhere to go, and Jia Zhangshi rubbed salt into his wounds.

I was so angry that I just walked in and closed the door.

Backyard, Xu family.

"Xiao'e, you cooked today. It's good. It's quite rich."

"Da Mao, I can't help it. I stewed some spareribs today. They are so delicious. I guess everyone in the backyard knows that we are having meat today. Alas, in this year, those who don't have meat want to eat meat, and those who have meat want to eat meat."

"It's okay. Some people in the Central Court are eating roast duck today. Our spare ribs are nothing. Don't worry, no one will pay attention to us."

A big pot of pork ribs stewed with potatoes, Xu Jun was very satisfied with it.

"I should have asked Dun Dun to come over and eat some meat. Brother Zhuzi has been taking good care of us."

"Ezi, Zhuzi is the chef, and now Yu Li is also the kitchen helper. They have no shortage of food. Don't worry. The supplies are gradually getting better, and our factory cafeteria is also getting better. We won't be so nervous in the future."

"Da Mao, you are actually smart. You have stockpiled some supplies so early. It seems that there are still unprocessed wheat grains on Yandaixie Street. Why don't you look for places to process them and grind some white flour to improve your life. We adults are fine, but the two children always eat three-grain flour, which is not nutritious enough."

"Okay, I understand. I'll go ask around and try to get all the stored wheat and send some to our two masters' homes. Time flies and the New Year is coming soon. The weather is getting colder, so you have to be careful, Xinxin, don't get cold."

The whole courtyard was discussing the Jia family's roast duck all night. When Xu Damao came back from a walk with his two sons after a good meal, he ran into the third uncle at the door, and Yan Fugui dragged Xu Damao to ask about the situation.

"Da Mao, are you back from your walk? If we are talking about life, it still has to be the middle courtyard and your backyard."

"Third uncle, what do you mean? The one who has an easy life in the compound is definitely not me, Xu Damao. Look at the two boys. They are now able to eat and drink. My son Gezi doesn't have a job, and I only make fifty or sixty a month. The one who has the best life now is Aunt Jia. The two of them have more than a thousand in savings. Only the first uncle's family can match them. Then there is the second uncle's family. They have an easy life and a lot of savings. My family spends all the money every month, and it's not enough at the end of the month. I have to spend my wife's dowry money to make up for the deficit every month. But third uncle, your family is probably not doing well either. Now Jie Di and Jie Kuang are both spending money, and Jiefang is still studying. By the way, it's been a long time since I saw Jie Cheng and his wife. Are they really not going back to the compound?"

Yan Fugui couldn't hold back his expression for a moment, and he adjusted his tortoise-shell glasses on his nose, "Da Mao, every family has its own problems."

"Uncle, I haven't seen you fishing for a long time. If you go fishing someday, why don't you take me with you? We only eat potatoes and cabbages every day, but no meat. Look at my Huo Huo, he hasn't grown much. You are busy, it's getting late, I'm going back."

He Yuzhu and Yu Li had a good meal today. Although He Yuzhu came back late, he brought back half a chicken today. Li Huaide had a special meal in the evening and asked He Yuzhu to cook.

After Yu Li and her son He Jianxin had their meal, they had the chicken He Yuzhu brought back as a snack. It was a real treat.

The two were still chatting about the Jia family.

"Zhu Zi, you brought back so much chicken today, aren't you afraid that the factory manager and the others will know?"

"Wife, don't worry. I only chopped one-third of it. What can the boss do if he finds out? They eat the meat, so I can drink some soup with it. Besides, I gave a small half to Liu Lan today. Li Huaide won't tell anyone. You don't know that the bad guy Li Huaide is having an affair with Liu Lan from the cafeteria. Otherwise, do you think I would keep Liu Lan to serve the dishes and not let you serve the dishes?"

Yu Li was gone for a short time, and He Yuzhu had no time to talk about this matter. She was indeed shocked, "Ah? No way? Isn't Sister Liu afraid of having a bad reputation?"

"Liu Lan has a hard life too. Sigh... Never mind. The most important thing is for everyone to take care of themselves. Everyone has their own way of living. But wife, let's not discuss this."

"Go, I'm not stupid, I can still talk about this. By the way, the Jia family next door is famous in the compound today. An old woman and a little student are eating roast duck openly and showing off. Do you think they will be hated?"

"Hey, his family has savings. Didn't you hear what Xu Damao said? He sold a workstation for 700 yuan, and he can eat whatever he wants. Just build it, and forget it after it's done. If the old man asks for donations in the future, who in the compound will listen to him? He asked for his own death, there's nothing we can do about it."

Yu Li also had this intention. Suddenly, Yu Li felt like vomiting while eating chicken. She quickly put down the chicken and ran to the trash can. She couldn't vomit, and she wanted to vomit...

"Wife, what's wrong? Are you pregnant?"

Yu Li was also confused, but after thinking about it, it was possible, as it seemed that she really hadn't had her period for a long time.

"Zhu Zi, go check it out on your day off, it's really possible."

He Yushui was chewing chicken while taking care of his nephew Dun Dun. Hearing Yu Li say that she might be pregnant, he was very excited. "Brother, sister-in-law is pregnant again? It would be perfect if sister-in-law could give birth to a niece. I'll ask Haitang to come over this week. If sister-in-law is really pregnant, brother, make a big meal for her on your day off. The chicken is not enough for today. I'm so greedy that I can't suppress it."

He Yushui is now in the first year of high school. She has grown into a big girl without realizing it. Although she has no breasts, she has indeed grown up.

He Yushui was very envious of her sister-in-law Yu Li's breasts, which were very magnificent. Looking at her own flat breasts, she felt a little inferior. She always hoped that her brother would give her some nutrition so that she could stand proudly like her sister-in-law.

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes, "Yushui, I haven't treated you badly, but if sister-in-law is really pregnant, I will cook a big meal for you this week, and we will nourish ourselves together. If the Jia family can eat roast duck, we can eat it too. Don't worry, let Haitang come over on Saturday."
