I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

"Mom, just get a spot and go sweep the streets. The pay is less and it's not a big deal." Jia Dongxu said on the side.

"I...I..." Jia Zhang still didn't want to go!

"Take it. The family needs to earn more money now. If the price of food goes up again, we won't be able to buy food if we don't have money.

Do you want to starve to death or be beaten to death for stealing food?" Jia Dongxu whispered.

"I'm not in good health. My whole body hurts when I move." Jia Zhang still didn't want to work.

"Look at you, you really can't afford to buy food. Don't blame me if you go hungry." Jia Dongxu knew his mother's problem. She didn't like to work at all. She was so lazy!

"Then I'll take it first. If I'm not feeling well, let Qin Huairu go." Jia Zhang said.

"It's up to you!" Jia Dongxu had nothing to say to Jia Zhang.

"Director Wang, I need a job. I'll go clean the place." Jia Zhang said.

"Okay, go to the street office at 8:30 tomorrow morning and I'll tell you to clean that area and get the tools." Director Wang said. "Let's go back!"

"Okay!" said Aunt Wen, who was sitting there watching the fun without saying a word.

After saying hello to Cao Dongfang, Director Wang and Aunt Wen left the courtyard.

.......

"Brother, what was discussed at the conference? It was really lively. It's a pity that I didn't go." Cao Jiajia said regretfully to Cao Dongfang who had just entered the house.

"What are you going to do? How can a little girl under ten be so curious?" Cao Dongfang said speechlessly.

"I was bored, so I wanted to go and watch the fun. I'm doing very well in school, and there's not much to do at home," said Cao Jiajia.

"I'll lend you an AK-47. You can kill people all over the street. That way it won't be boring. Do you want to go?" Cao Dongfang asked.

"No! I won't kill anyone. It's not good. My mother said so!" said Cao Jiajia.

"Go watch TV or study. You have too many things to do every day and I don't want to bother with you!" Cao Dongfang said.

"Hmph, I'm not going to pay attention to you. I'll go ask Sister Yushui tomorrow about today's meeting. I'm going to study and TV isn't interesting to watch!" said Cao Jiajia.

"It's not pretty. You used to see her every day. She's a little girl who says one thing and means another." Cao Dongfang said with contempt.

"I! Don't! Care! About! You!

.......

I arrived at Chen Xueru's home at night. Together with Chen Xueru, I watched Chen Xueru's various videos on the video recorder (bought by Cao Dongfang in the system, a video recorder from the 90s).

"So beautiful! I am beautiful and have a good figure. I look good in anything I wear!" After watching through the gaps between her fingers with a red face for half an hour, Chen Xueru began to comment on what looked good on her.

"This red dress looks good, better than other colors, and with the jewelry, it is really beautiful." Cao Dongfang also admitted!

"That's right! I look good in anything I wear."

“It’s more beautiful without any clothes!”

"roll!"

"That one is just average. This one is so beautiful. I don't know how to appreciate it at all." Cao Dongfang said.

"I'm going to beat you to death, you bad guy! You're lying with your eyes open, don't you feel guilty?" Chen Xueru said angrily.

"It doesn't hurt me. I don't have high requirements. As long as it looks good!" said Cao Dongfang.

"Then you can't lie with your eyes open. I clearly said..." Chen Xueru hit Cao Dongfang with a pillow.

"It doesn't matter what you wear or what you don't wear. What matters is that it looks good. Got it!" said Cao Dongfang.

"I won't talk to you anymore, turn it off and don't watch it anymore!" said Chen Xueru.

"What's the big deal? It will look good later. You need to find out your shortcomings and correct them. You need to look better and better and your movements need to be skillful," said Cao Dongfang.

"You bastard, I'm going to bite you to death." Chen Xueru said angrily.

“I won’t resist!”

"roll!"

......

The next morning, I went to Aunt Wei's house to report that I was safe. I came back after lunch and started cooking at home.

He Daqing and Sha Zhu were quick in storing grain. At around 2:00 p.m., each of them came back with a bag of grain, which looked to be about 50 to 60 kilograms.

The people who store grain are not working properly, and the canteen is also busy in the afternoon. It seems that the He family is going to store grain on a large scale and sell it every two years.

The He family is really rich. Now it's 61, and by the end of , it will be at least three times as much. He Daqing is still quite smart.

As for the silly pillar——

He doesn't have that brain!

Cao Dongfang took a look and continued to put food into the freezer. The original system was recycling it. It had been almost a month, and he didn't want to eat it anymore. The compensation for the eight demolitions was not much!

It’s enough for ten days. Put some more in before going out and make fried chicken and fried hairtail in the evening!

Cao Jiajia ate the fried chicken and ate the fried hairtail herself. In his previous life, Cao Dongfang preferred to eat fried hairtail, drink beer and eat peanuts when watching TV.

You can eat fried hairtail fish while watching TV at night!

Big steamed buns with leeks, eggs and diced meat. Big meat steamed buns. I’m going to have them tonight. I haven’t had them for a long time.

I also made a steamed turbot, a Beijing-style pork shreds, and a Kung Pao chicken. Each person had a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and everything was OK.

This is also four dishes and one soup!

......

"Brother, it's great to have fried chicken again. We can have fried chicken without fried hairtail. I can't finish it." Cao Jiajia said after seeing the fried chicken.

"The fried hairtail was what I ate while watching TV. It was not fried for you. Don't be so self-indulgent. Are you embarrassed or surprised, classmate Cao Jiajia?" Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"For the sake of the fried chicken, I'll forgive you this time and won't bother with you anymore." Cao Jiajia was not fooled.

"Brother, is the fried hairtail delicious? You and mom were eating it with gusto while watching TV." When Cao Jiajia saw her mother and Cao Dongfang eating fried hairtail while watching TV, she also became greedy.

"If you want to eat, try it yourself! It's nice to eat while watching TV." said Cao's mother.

“Fruits are also eaten while watching TV. Eat more fruits.” Cao Dongfang said.

"Brother, don't you have your drinks yet?" Cao Jiajia asked.

"I guess it will only be available during the Chinese New Year. Smuggling beverages is also a crime of 'speculation and profiteering', which is a serious crime. In serious cases, it is like shooting at a target, so many people dare not do it!" said Cao Dongfang.

"Oh! What a pity for my...drinks!" Cao Jiajia sighed.

"Chuunibyou!"

......

The next morning, a lot of food was put down for Chen Xueru's family, enough for half a month, and more would be put down on the 23rd.

We had lunch at Chen Xueru's house at noon. We had fried chicken and fish, and the same thing as last night. We also had two kinds of big buns, both of which we hadn't eaten for several months.

Everyone can eat whatever they like!

Cao Dongfang suddenly thought of Yuanxiao and wontons, which can be eaten as breakfast. Chen Xueru and her son like Yuanxiao, and Hou Kui also likes the sweet ones!

Try the wontons. There is a seasoning packet. The system is considerate and puts it in the freezer. Tell Chen Xueru about it.

Let it go at home too!

These two foods are good to eat in winter, they keep you warm, especially wontons!

These two foods are also relatively easy to preserve, as they are both packaged in bags without any words on them. As soon as Cao Dongfang mentioned them, Chen Xueru and Wu Ma understood immediately!

......

In the afternoon, Cao Dongfang came to the gate of the steel rolling mill with a big lunch box!

"Hello, Uncle Li! Aren't you tired from working every day? You should take a proper rest." Cao Dongfang said.

"Oh! Cao Dongfang, you're back. This time it's going to be a long time. You can go out again on the same day you come back." Uncle Li asked with a smile.

"I came back at noon the day before yesterday, and went out again on the night of the 23rd. It will take another 20 days!" said Cao Dongfang.

"When you are not in the factory, many people are complaining that the food has deteriorated again. There is nothing we can do when you are not here!" Uncle Li said with a smile.

“I won’t go hunting even if I’m here, otherwise the country will give meat to the steel mill for free.

Three pounds of meat per person a month is enough. Among the workers in the city, their food is pretty good!" Cao Dongfang said.

"It's not as good as when you were here, but it's still okay. What's the matter with you returning to the factory?" asked Uncle Li.

"I'll send you some braised pork and cigarettes. Ask Uncle Guan and the others if they need anything later." Cao Dongfang said.

"We are in shortage of food. Food is hard to buy and the country has imposed purchase restrictions. The braised pork you cook is delicious." Uncle Zhao swallowed a few times.

"A lunch box of braised pork and a pack of Camel cigarettes. While you're eating the braised pork, don't you forget to find a companion? Do you have someone?" Cao Dongfang asked.

“Of course there is someone, I’ve been married for twenty days, and you just realized, I’m thirty-six years old, with two little girls, one ten years old and the other seven years old.

After her husband died, her in-laws kicked her out, leaving her with only one son. They thought the two daughters were a waste and didn't want them. So someone introduced them to me.

Now that everything has been discussed and she has agreed to marry, then just marry her. You have the money to support the three of them, and you don't need to support the children in their old age!

If there is food in the East, get me some. It’s not enough if I don’t have any stored food. It can also feed the two little girls.

I calculated it!

A person has a deficit of more than three kilograms per month! "

Uncle Li said.
