I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

The happiest person in the compound was Liu Haizhong. When he learned that the police station believed that Liu Haizhong was right to beat Jia Dongxu, he held a banquet at dinner time and rewarded his whole family with four dishes and a soup.

Five scrambled eggs, bacon and snow mustard greens, stir-fried shredded potatoes, stir-fried cabbage, and a bowl of chopped green onion soup.

Very rich!

Two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, life was not bad in the 50s, and each person got an egg. Liu Haizhong was happy, and so was the whole family.

Only Jia Zhang was at home with a sad face. Her family's savings and her pension money were running out, with only eighty yuan left.

Jia Dongxu was hospitalized twice by Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, and spent more than 100 yuan. His medical expenses will be reimbursed, but after he is discharged from the hospital, not now.

So Jia Zhang decided to let Jia Dongxu be discharged from the hospital after two days and go to work five days. How could he survive without salary?

These were Jia Zhang's thoughts, and Jia Dongxu didn't know about them in the hospital.

.......

Jia Dongxu was discharged from the hospital that day, so what did Cao Dongfang have to do with his work that day?

On January 1st, Sha Zhu returned to the courtyard house. He left early and came back late every day. Basically, no one else in the compound lived there, and Yi Zhonghai did not take the initiative to attack Sha Zhu.

On the 24th day of the lunar year, Cao Dongfang drove to go hunting again. Today he was hunting for the families of military martyrs, and there was mutton for everyone to share.

Cao Dongfang was lucky. He got a wild boar and a wild sheep. The boar was delivered to the street, and the sheep was distributed among the convoy, and only one-third of the people got one.

At the strong suggestion of the team drivers, Cao Dongfang only needed to hunt during the New Year and did not need to work, as they would take care of everything.

We need to hunt more wild sheep!

Eat more mutton in winter!

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar year, there was a wild boar and two wild sheep. The wild boar was sold and the wild sheep were divided.

On the 30th day of the lunar year, there were four wild sheep but no wild boar. After dividing them, there was only 130 pounds of meat and bones, and pounds of meat from four sheep, which was not enough for each person.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar year, Cao Dongfang showed his might and captured three wild boars and five wild sheep.

Dongfang is awesome, the sheep have been divided, as for the pork, we will go buy it after get off work, we will buy it first and walk.

Twenty-eight didn't have to go, but Guan Huang said to Cao Dongfang.

"The factory needs pork, at least 1,000 kilograms. The price for a whole pig is 1 yuan per kilogram. I'll take as much as you can. How about that?"

"Sure, the price is not low. Mr. Lou really has a lot of money. I found fifteen or sixteen big wild boars in the mountains that I didn't kill.

We are going to keep them for next year, so we will go and catch ten today and bring them directly to the factory." Cao Dongfang asked.

"Take it directly to the factory. Lao Yu or I will be waiting for you at the gate. Tell us what time you can come back." Guan Huang asked.

"I know where it is. It's probably between 2 and 3 in the afternoon," said Cao Dongfang.

"You go ahead and kill a few sheep if you have any. They will give them as gifts. If you use your connections, you can get them for one pound or one dollar," said Guan Huang.

"Okay, I'll call three people, I'll go hunting and they'll watch the car." Cao Dongfang said.

“Be careful!”

.......

There's no need to be careful. The price given by the factory is good, and it's okay to have a small income before the New Year.

The price of a whole pork has increased by 20 cents per pound. During the Chinese New Year month, the price of a whole pork was only 75 cents and the price of a whole sheep was 65 cents in the market.

I can only say that Mr. Lou is very generous!

Mr. Lou is not short of money!

Make things convenient for the public!

They arrived at Daxishan at ten o'clock in the morning. As usual, Cao Dongfang went into the mountain, and the remaining three watched the car.

At that time, there were many people with guns and many robbers. Life was poor, and there were always people who took risks.

Drivers are equipped with guns when they go out. Everyone has a pistol, and some have long guns. The number depends on the driver himself. Drivers also have shooting training every year.

Cao Dongfang went into the mountains for about an hour and came out once. He caught four wild boars each time. He made three trips back and forth and caught 12 wild boars. He went in twice more and brought back five wild sheep and six pheasants.

Ye Ji doesn't charge any money, it's considered a gift to the factory leaders. They are generous, so I can't be stingy.

After loading the truck back to the factory, the 12 wild boars weighed just over 2000 pounds, and the four wild sheep weighed 190 pounds, which added up to more than 2000 pounds, totaling 2200 pounds, which was enough.

In less than 5 hours, I earned 2200 yuan. This is an extremely fast way to make money.

.......

"Dongfang, you are awesome. You plan to save these pigs and sheep for next year. It seems like you hunters don't hunt all your prey at once. It's interesting." Guan Huang said at the factory gate.

"This little brother is Dashan's son, awesome! I'm the security chief Liang Shan, you can just call me Uncle Liang.

I had a good relationship with your father back then, tell me if you have anything to say." said a tall and strong man in his forties, about 180cm tall.

"Thank you, Chief Liang. I have something to discuss with you," said Cao Dongfang.

"Lao Liang, let's deliver the meat first and talk about it when we come back." Guan Huang said.

"Okay! Business is more important." said Section Chief Liang.

Three drivers got off the car and returned to the fleet. Guan Huang got in the car. Cao Dongfang drove straight to the first canteen and put the meat there. They would distribute it. The meat would be distributed to the whole factory tomorrow!

"There are 2023 kilograms of pork and 190 kilograms of mutton, a total of 2213 kilograms." The warehouse manager was recording the accounts with a smile.

The entire factory had less than 2000 kilograms of meat, and with 2100 employees, each person was given a maximum of 9 taels of meat.

This is about 1300 kilograms of pork, and the factory has 3300 kilograms of pure meat. Each person can get at least 1 kilograms of meat, the same as last year.

There are also some leftovers and a lot of pork and sheep offal, which are all good stuff. As for the 6 chickens, this young man is tactful and generous.

Chicken is hard to buy these days!

He issued the invoice and gave it to Cao Dongfang, who went to the Finance Department to collect the money. He also collected the six chickens and put them together with the mutton. The kitchen staff would clean them up together in a while, and just give more pork and mutton offal.

Cao Dongfang didn't hesitate and took the note to collect the money.

After finishing everything, it’s less than four o’clock, so after bragging for a while, it’s time to get off work.

.......

On the third day, the factory gave the bell for closing the door, and the people in the team lined up to receive money and meat, preparing to go home for New Year's Eve.

"Cao Dongfang's salary is 68.8 yuan, count it carefully, this piece of meat is yours.

Dongfang, you will be 19 next year, it's time to find a partner. I'll find you one, young and beautiful, with a city hukou, who graduated from high school this year and is the same age as you...

Cashier Aunt Huang once again started urging Cao Dongfang to get married.

"Sister Huang, we are all waiting. How about we introduce each other to someone some other day? Introduce a few to me too." Uncle Yu said with a smile.

"Get lost. Who would like you if you look like a small fish? Go away. I have no appetite for dinner after seeing you." Sister Huang showed her domineering attitude as a strong woman again.

"Sister Huang, I'm still young and will play for two more years. I'll go back first. Goodbye, Sister Huang!" Cao Dongfang said and then left at a very fast speed.

After running fifty meters, I stopped to look at the meat in my hand. There was one and a half pounds of meat. The meat was not bad and the fat was not too thick. This was normal and it was okay.

Use a knife to divide the meat into four equal portions, one portion for each of Guan Shu and his friends, and Cao Dongfang doesn't want any of the meat.

I told Guan Huang and the others that there was too much meat at home, so we divided the meat from the factory among the four of us, a few ounces of meat.

After handing the meat to Guan Huang, Cao Dongfang said, "Uncle Guan will be at home on the second and third days of the New Year. I will pay New Year's greetings and sit for a while.

"Everyone is here on the third day of the New Year. Come in the afternoon and have a drink in the evening." Guan Huang said after thinking about it.

"Okay! Uncle Guan, I'm going back. See you on the third day of the New Year!" Cao Dongfang said.

"See you on the third day of Dongfangchu!"

.......

Cao Dongfang returned to the gate of the courtyard and met the third uncle.

"Dongfang has gotten off work. Where is the meat distributed? Doesn't the steel rolling mill give each person one and a half pounds of meat?" Yan Bugui asked.

"Hello, Third Uncle. I didn't want the meat. The meat was distributed. My meat was shared by others. I don't lack meat. See you later, Third Uncle!" Cao Dongfang said and pushed the cart home.

He Yushui was at home. Cao's mother and Cao Jiajia had not returned yet. It seemed that time was almost up, so they took a rest and had lunch.

The New Year’s Eve dinner can be prepared in the afternoon. It is quick to make dumplings and six dishes and a soup.

"Brother, I'm back. Did you miss me?" Cao Jiajia shouted when she saw Cao Dongfang when she entered the room.

"I don't miss you at all. What do you want to eat today? Telling me this makes it seem like we have a very good relationship." Cao Dongfang asked with a smile.

"Brother, do you have sweet and sour carp? Do you have any chocolate?" Cao Jiajia asked in a low voice.

"Yes, but why should I give it to you? Tell me the reason." Cao Dongfang asked Cao Jiajia.

"Well...well, I am your sister, your biological sister! How about this reason?" Cao Jiajia was happy with her reason.

"If you weren't my sister, I would have thrown you into the trash can long ago if you were so naughty.

We'll have sweet and sour carp tonight, and I'll give you a piece of chocolate. Where's our mom?" Cao Dongfang gave He Yushui and Cao Jiajia a piece of chocolate each.

“Thank you, Brother Dongfang!”

"Thank you, brother. Mom is talking to the third uncle and will be back soon." Cao Jiajia said.

"It's still early, go and have fun. We'll have dinner in an hour," said Cao Dongfang.

"I got it. I'll read the comic books. Brother, what are we having for lunch?" Cao Jiajia asked.

"What do you want to eat? How about steamed buns and mutton soup?" said Cao Dongfang.

you can!
