Siheyuan: Sending my younger brother to the countryside to raise pigs

Yan Jiecheng placed the purchased grain, oil and other daily necessities into the kitchen cabinet one by one.

Yan Jiekuang brought snacks and fruits and put them on the table. He couldn't wait to open them and see what delicious food was.

Yan Jiecheng warned: "Old Four, you can eat the rest, but don't open the two packets of snacks, they were bought by my eldest brother as gifts for others."

Yan Jiekuang's hand happened to be on the snack, but when he heard this, he quickly retracted his hand and just took a piece of rock candy and put it in his mouth.

The sweet taste suddenly filled my mouth, and my whole body and mind seemed to be happy.

"Give it to someone? Who are you going to give it to?"

"Master."

"Why would you give something to an old man?"

"Last month, an old man helped me a lot, and I feel bad about it."

Yan Jiekuang nodded, not quite understanding what he meant.

Yan Jiecheng touched his head and asked, "Is rock sugar delicious?"

Yan Jiekuang narrowed his eyes, smiled happily, and nodded again, "It's delicious. Big brother, you eat it too."

After saying that, he took a piece of rock sugar and handed it to Yan Jiecheng.

The little guy didn't even wash his hands after playing with marbles. Yan Jiecheng was a little disgusted, but he still took the rock candy, rinsed it with water, and then put it in his mouth.

There is only one taste, and that is sweet.

For Yan Jiecheng, who has tried countless flavors of candy, rock sugar is not really delicious.

"Next time, remember to wash your hands before eating. Look how dirty your hands are. Only you don't mind."

Yan Jiekuang withdrew his hand somewhat embarrassedly and quickly ran to the washbasin to wash his hands.

"understood."

My brother has really changed. He actually likes to be clean now.

Yan Jiecheng tidied up briefly and started to prepare lunch.

"Don't go back at noon, just eat here."

"okay."

He had no intention of going back.

"Brother, what delicious food are you going to make?"

"Stir-fried pork with peppers and stewed cabbage with tofu."

Yan Jiekuang's eyes lit up. "It's great to have meat for lunch. I haven't eaten meat for a long time."

My eldest brother is really generous with his food. He has vegetables at every meal and sometimes even meat.

Although the steamed buns are also made of mixed flour, they are made of more white flour and less mixed flour. They are much more delicious than the ones made at home, and are sweet and soft.

He wished he could live in his eldest brother's house every day and be his eldest brother's son.

Of course this is impossible, I can only think about it in my mind.

He knew that his eldest brother had a conflict with his family, and it was a very serious one.

When we were sitting together eating, what I heard the most was everyone scolding him, calling him an ungrateful wolf, a beast, a bastard, and all kinds of animals I had never seen before.

You kept scolding me from the beginning to the end of the meal.

At first, he spoke up for his elder brother and made a few rebuttals, but what he got back was a barrage of scolding.

He complained to his eldest brother about his grievances, but his eldest brother just told him not to mind the matter.

This is a matter between adults, children should not interfere.

So now he has learned his lesson. When he eats, he just concentrates on eating without saying a word.

However, because he often comes to his eldest brother's house for dinner, his family members have been looking at him with something strange in their eyes recently.

Especially the second brother, his eyes were sinister, like a poisonous snake, and it seemed as if he would pounce on me and bite me at any time.

They didn’t like the eldest brother before, thinking he was useless.

Now that the eldest brother is useful, they still don't like him.

The adult world is so hard to understand.

Soon after, the food was served and the whole room was filled with the aroma of meat. The two brothers ate with relish.

……

On the other side, dinner was served at Yan Fugui's house, but Yan Jiekuang had not come back for a long time.

The third aunt was a little anxious and scolded: "Has this dead child gone crazy from playing? He doesn't even know to go home for dinner. You guys eat first, I'll go call him."

Yan Jiefang washed his hands and came out of the kitchen with a sarcastic smile on his face. He said quietly, "Stop shouting. The fourth brother has defected to the enemy. Just now I saw Yan Jiecheng carrying a lot of things in large and small bags, and Yan Jiekuang followed him like a dog."

The third aunt glared at Yan Jiefang and said unhappily, "Second brother, what are you talking about? How can you talk about your own brother like that? You have no control over your words."

You are brothers, he is a dog, are you a human?

The second child used to be such a well-behaved kid, but since the eldest child got better, he has completely changed. His temper has become more weird and his speech has become sarcastic.

"Well, if he doesn't come back to eat, we can eat by ourselves and save one more person's meal."

The family sat together and started eating.

One of them held a mixed flour steamed bun in his hand. The bun had more mixed flour than fine flour and was hard. He had to chew it for a while before he could barely swallow it.

The dish is stir-fried vegetables with clear soup. People who know it is stir-fried vegetables, but those who don’t know might think it is boiled vegetables.

When they met just now, Yan Jiefang vaguely saw that Yan Jiecheng also bought meat.

When he thought of Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang eating meat at home, he couldn't help feeling jealous.

When I'm jealous, I want to do something naughty.

"Mom and Dad, when I came back, I saw that my eldest brother bought a lot of things, including eggs, vegetables, meat, a few boxes of snacks and a few bottles of wine. No wonder the fourth child wanted to go to his place. I guess the two of them are eating meat and drinking wine right now."

After hearing this, the food on the table suddenly lost its flavor and the atmosphere became weird.

Yan Fugui had a gloomy face and bit the steamed bun hard to vent his dissatisfaction.

Yan Jie Di glanced at Yan Jiefang. How could she not know what he was thinking?

Isn’t it just to sow discord between Yan Jiecheng and his parents?

She will too.

Since Yan Jiecheng didn't treat her as a sister, she naturally didn't treat him as a brother either.

Why should they eat meat and drink wine while I have to eat bran and vegetables?

"Brother, you are really so petty. It's been a long time since this happened, but you are still taking it so seriously. You are so unfilial. You bought so many good things but didn't know how to honor your parents. You are not afraid of what people in the courtyard will say."

Yan Jiefang sneered, "If he really wanted to avoid gossip, he wouldn't have done that. Just now on the way back, I said hello to him, but he ignored me. Hey, do you know how much he makes a month now?"

These words attracted everyone's attention, even Yan Fugui pricked up his ears.

They really want to know how much Yan Jiecheng earns a month.

Every time I see him, he carries fresh vegetables in his hands. Today, he brought meat and eggs. How much money can one afford to spend like that?

"how much is it?"

"45!"

"45!? That much?"

The whole family opened their mouths in shock.

They know all too well what a salary of 45 yuan means.

"Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu, Xu Damao and others in the hospital have worked for many years, and they only make less than 40 yuan. His uncle and second uncle only make or yuan at most. How come he gets so much when he goes there?"

"You don't know this. He's a driver, so he earns more than others. Let's put it this way, there are a lot of fitters and forgers in the whole factory, but drivers can be counted on one hand. Scarcity makes things valuable, you know?"
