After Yan Bugui was pulled outside by his wife, he muttered to himself for a while and then began to fiddle with the flowers and plants. He thought that if this was true, he would have to go to the street office to find Director Wang tomorrow to find out.

Meanwhile, at the Lin family's home, the younger sister had just put down her schoolbag when she saw her brother whistling while sweeping the floor. She asked excitedly, "Brother, you look so happy today. Did you kill another wild boar?"

Lin Donglai deliberately kept the secret: "Brother encountered a big event today, a very happy event, why don't you guess it, if you guess it right, brother will take you to a restaurant outside."

Hearing that she could go to a restaurant, the little girl couldn't help but take it seriously. She tilted her head and thought for a long time, then her eyes lit up and she said, "I guess you shot two big wild boars today, right?"

Seeing her brother smiling and shaking his head in denial, she couldn't help but frown and pout. After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "Brother, I know, you must have picked up some money! It's quite a lot, enough for us to go to a restaurant."

Lin Donglai laughed out loud after hearing his sister's guess. This girl is getting cuter and cuter. Her little head is full of wild ideas. It's really interesting.

Seeing the little girl's face full of confusion and frowning as she stared at him, he said cheerfully, "Neither of them. Forget it, I won't keep you in suspense. I found a job today."

When the younger sister heard this, she jumped for joy: "Really? Brother, you really have a job? Is it our father's former unit?"

"Of course not. I don't like my dad's job. My brother's new job is as a buyer in a steel mill."

"That's great! You can earn a salary, so our family won't have to worry about not having enough to eat. Brother, you are my pride!"

When Lin Donglai told his sister about his plan to go out for lunch, she immediately danced with joy and kept cheering, "Brother, you are so nice. I want to eat the braised pork you mentioned last time."

The sound insulation of houses of this era is not very good at all, and the conversation between the brother and sister can easily be heard by someone with ulterior motives. This person is none other than Yan Bugui, who was fiddling with flowers and plants in front of his house.

After hearing Lin Donglai say that he had found a job as a purchasing agent for a steel rolling mill, he felt worse than being scratched by a cat. He immediately felt that he could not wait until tomorrow and had to go to the director of the street office, Wang, in the afternoon to ask for clarification.

Seeing Lin Donglai and his sister walk out of the house, Yan Bugui turned back home angrily, slammed the door shut, and then sat at the table with a dark face. He looked very scary.

Lin Donglai brought his sister to the restaurant, and they ordered a dish of braised pork, a dish of dumplings, and a dish of stir-fried cabbage with lard. When the braised pork was served on the table, the brother and sister stared at it in amazement.

The braised pork is rosy in color and shiny, exuding an enticing aroma that makes people drool.

As soon as the waiter left, Lin Donglai picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. Hmm! It was fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, and chewy. It had been a long time since I last tasted it.

Before he traveled through time, his favorite dish was braised pork. Whenever he craved it, he would go through the streets and alleys to find that old restaurant and have a delicious meal regardless of rain or shine.

Now that I can eat this beloved delicacy that I have always dreamed of, I feel a deep sense of satisfaction in my heart.

Seeing her brother's intoxicated expression, sister Lin Dongyi couldn't help but pick up a piece and put it in her mouth. After chewing it for a few times, she was convinced by the rich and chewy taste: "Brother, is this braised pork? It's delicious!"

After getting a positive answer, she smiled and shook her head: "It would be nice if I could eat braised pork more often in the future."

Lin Donglai wanted to tell his sister that this was not a difficult thing, but after thinking about it, he did not say anything. He decided to talk about the future later. Making a promise too early might not be a good thing.

They were very satisfied with the meal. After the meal, the brother and sister walked slowly home while burping. Just as they arrived at the middle courtyard, they heard a noisy sound.

When I walked to the middle yard, I saw two people fighting in the middle of the yard. There were many people around them, but no one stepped forward to stop them.

Upon closer inspection, the two men were none other than his enemies Sha Zhu and Xu Damao. At this moment, Xu Damao had been pinned down, and Sha Zhu was slapping him in the face: "I told you to be so mean, today I'll let you know how powerful my grandfather is."

Xu Damao tried several times to get up, but was pressed down by Sha Zhu. He shouted regardless of the pain, "Help! Sha Zhu is going to kill someone! Uncle No. 1, Uncle No. 2, Uncle No. 3, please come and save me."

Yan Bugui was the first to arrive at the Intermediate Courtyard. After all, he got off work earlier than the people in the steel rolling mill. Whenever there was any movement in the courtyard, he would always know it earlier than others. But at this moment, he did not say a word behind the crowd.

Liu Haizhong also heard Xu Damao's screams at first, but when he heard his wife come back and say that Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were fighting, he just said "What a pair of enemies" and continued eating peanuts and drinking, without even going to the central courtyard to take a look.

Yi Zhonghai, the deaf old lady and the aunt were eating. When they heard Xu Damao's shouting, they had no intention of paying any attention. They thought that this kid was always startled and was very annoying, like a dog with no ivory in its mouth. It would be good to let Sha Zhu teach him a lesson.

After eating for a while, he remembered that when he met Lou Xiao'e in the morning, she said she was going back to her parents' home today. Usually, she was the one who stopped Xu Damao and Sha Zhu from quarreling. If she was not here today, something might happen.

As the eldest uncle in the courtyard, if something bad happens, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the street office, so I have to go and take a look.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai put down his chopsticks and quickened his pace towards the yard.

After pushing through the crowd, he saw blood seeping from the corner of Xu Damao's mouth, and quickly shouted, "Zhu Zi, stop it! What are you doing?"

"Uncle, please be fair and just. Do you think Xu Damao deserves to be beaten? The dried chilies he hung by the door were gone, so he insisted that I stole them and demanded compensation. What right did he have to do that?"

Sha Zhu stopped what he was doing, suppressed his anger, looked up and said to Yi Zhonghai.

The canteen director was keeping a close eye on him today, so he didn't dare put any food in his lunch box and bring it back. Qin Huairu was waiting in the middle courtyard, but when she saw him coming back empty-handed, she ignored him and went home straight away.

Sha Zhu was standing in the yard feeling depressed. Xu Damao started to tell him that he had stolen the dried chilies hanging by his door and yelled at him to pay for it. This made Sha Zhu very angry and he caught up with Xu Damao and beat him up.

Seeing an opportunity, Xu Damao rolled over and stood up, hiding behind Yi Zhonghai: "Who else could it be except you? Didn't you steal my chicken last time? I'm telling you, idiot, I'm not done with you today, just wait..."

As he said that, he ran towards the gate of the courtyard. Unexpectedly, the street office had just sent people to inspect the sanitation work in each courtyard. Xu Damao bumped into Director Wang who was in charge.

Director Wang was nearly knocked to the ground. Looking at Xu Damao's embarrassed look, he angrily asked, "What's wrong with you? Watch your way."

Xu Damao looked up and saw that it was someone from the Street Office. He seemed to have seen a savior and immediately cried, "Director Wang, it's a good thing you're here. If you had come later, I would have been beaten to death by that bastard Sha Zhu."

Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai quickly walked out of the crowd...
