I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

Uncle Guan had no shortage of supplies. They bought a lot of them and stored them. As for food that was difficult to store, such as meat, Cao Dongfang would basically give him some every month when he came back.

His life is much better than that of other ordinary working-class families. No one in his family eats vegetables at all. They all have relatively normal nutrition, and the food they have stored is almost enough to make a lot of money.

This income is a lot for their family of four!

And Cao Fang went hunting, and they exchanged tickets!

Which of the commonly used bills is not rising sharply!

That’s a lot of income!

After this year, the national situation will improve next year, and by the end of 63, or 64, it will basically return to normal. By then, the country's comprehensive national strength will be greatly enhanced!

I can now let loose a little more!

.......

"Have you heard that Cao Dongfang is once again providing welfare to the families of military martyrs and lonely elderly people?"

"Where did you hear this news? How many people are there this time? Cao Dongfang is a very righteous man. He has money but he still remembers these people!"

"I still think that if you are a spendthrift, you should save more money so that you can live a comfortable life!"

"Aunt Zhang, your words almost made me laugh to death. The money you have saved in your entire life is not as much as what Cao Dongfang gave away in one go. And he saved more money. He is not on the same level as us."

“Are the supplies provided a lot this time?”

"A lot, two big wild boars, three wild sheep, five catties of flour and five catties of oil for each family of military martyrs, and an extra 100 catties of flour for the lonely elderly.

Elderly widows and widowers are given two kilograms of meat, two kilograms of oil, and two kilograms of flour. The street office staff can deal with the rest themselves and divide it up.

This is what Cao Dongfang said!

The people in the subdistrict office have worked hard too! "

"How much does it cost to have two wild boars? In addition, there is cooking oil and flour. These are not affordable for ordinary people."

"It couldn't have been obtained through illegal means."

"Aunt Zhang, why didn't I know you were so stupid before? How stupid would it be to give away something you obtained illegally? You don't want Cao Dongfang to get into trouble because you have no intention of doing so!

Laugh at people who have nothing! Hate people who have something!

Haha, that's Cao Dongfang's ability, no one in your family can ever compare to him! "

“I didn’t…I was just saying this.”

"Okay, everyone understands what you mean, you are too thoughtful.

Cao Dongfang should be praised for doing good things. Even if we don’t have money, we should still say he is a good guy, instead of belittling him.

"You are not afraid of death if you belittle a general. Your whole family will be shot."

"The neighbors in their compound donated most of their gifts. The few who didn't, aren't they good people?"

"It can't be the people from the backyard and that old bitch Jia Zhang again."

"It's just that Cao Dongfang doesn't like these people, so he never gives them anything."

"I heard that Cao Dongfang never went into the backyard since he moved into that courtyard."

"It seems that there is something wrong with the people in the backyard of that compound."

"Of course there is a problem. The guy named Liu Haizhong in the backyard works in the same workshop as my husband. He acts like an official every day and is always showing off. He beats the children at home even for no reason. My son even had a broken bone. He is too cruel."

"That's true, he's definitely not a good person!"

“Not a good person at all!”

.......

Cao Dongfang smelled three families cooking mutton soup before he even entered the courtyard when he came back from the steel mill.

I will probably eat the pork belly on New Year’s Eve, for fear that I won’t be able to buy good meat anymore. But I can cook the mutton. The New Year is almost here, so I can also eat mutton once. I don’t have to wait until the New Year to eat it!

And if you add some vegetables to the mutton soup, it can be eaten for at least two days, today and tomorrow. Some families can eat it for three or four days until the New Year.

You can still buy meat if you go out early during the Chinese New Year, but there will be less of it, and the meat will not be good pork belly.

This time the pork belly was all the best kind, so I kept it all and could eat the rest.

Especially for people like Grandma Wang’s family who received two copies, if they didn’t get one, they would still get one tomorrow. No one dares to withhold supplies from the families of military martyrs!

What’s more, Cao Dongfang lives in this courtyard!

Don't talk about the streets!

No one in the district dares to do that!

Of course, some people don't eat it. For example... Yan Bugui's family had three pounds of pork belly last time, which was used to make braised pork. Each person got a small piece, only half the size of other people's. Each person had one piece of meat for each meal.

It took five days to finish the meat!

So Yan Bugui didn’t allow it to be sold!

He knew that after he sold the meat given by Cao Dongfang, he would not give their family any meat next time!

The mutton aunt Yang Ruihua stayed again! After Yan Bugui came back, we decided how to eat!

The mutton soup made by the three families was not as delicious as Cao Dongfang's. There were two families in the front yard and Yi Zhonghai's family in the middle yard. The three families made mutton soup at the same time, and the taste was -

The fragrance spreads ten miles away! That’s a bit exaggerated!

but--

Everyone who smells it says - it smells so good!

"Oh my god! This smells so good. No, I can have mutton soup or mutton hotpot tonight. They both taste good.

We had mutton hotpot the day before yesterday, and today I will make mutton soup too, so that everyone can smell the flavor of the mutton soup together.

This tastes better. If we all poison each other together, it will be so delicious.

Cao Dongfang’s evil taste is here too!

Don’t buy it from the system, make it yourself, and make the mutton soup taste more fragrant. It’s a little painful to smell it but not be able to eat it!

.......

"Someone in this courtyard is making mutton soup again. It smells so good!"

"This isn't just one family making mutton soup. Several families are here. The people in this compound are rich and have connections. Mutton is not easy to buy!"

"It's not the people in the compound who are rich, only one family is rich, that's enough."

"I see. He must have gained weight again. It's almost the New Year."

"You are talking about General Cao gaining weight again, but it's a pity that we haven't gained any."

"Not bad, the amount of meat I distributed during the Chinese New Year has increased from 3 taels to 1 jin, and it's all thanks to General Cao!"

“That’s right! We can have a good New Year!”

“Make dumplings, now there’s meat!”

"Let's go, this smell is too good, I can't stand it, go home and eat some steamed bread."

"Hahaha, eating steamed bread while smelling the mutton soup is even more delicious!"

“You’re awesome!”

.......

Yi Zhonghai’s home!

"Guihua, make the mutton soup. Cao Dongfang gave it to you!" Yi Zhonghai asked when he returned home.

"Cao Dongfang gave me five pounds of meat, three pounds of pork belly, two pounds of mutton, five pounds of oil, and five pounds of flour. He is so generous." Huang Guihua said with a smile.

"How much? There are so many things. Forty yuan is more than enough on the black market. No wonder Cao Dongfang said that 440 yuan is not enough. It would be strange if it was enough. Even the great elder would not dare to give away things like this." Yi Zhonghai complained.

"We also gave the street office two pigs and two sheep, and gave each family member of a military martyr five kilograms of oil and five kilograms of flour. We also left 100 kilograms of oil and 100 kilograms of flour for the elderly widows and widowers," said Huang Guihua.

"I dare not compare. Another two thousand yuan was given away. But Cao Dongfang seems to be very busy recently and I haven't seen him for several months." Yi Zhonghai said.

"He rests at home for one or two days a month. This time it's the Chinese New Year, and he took a break and started delivering supplies again. This person is not bad!" said Huang Guihua.

"It's not bad. Our factory's New Year benefits have come out. Thanks to Cao Dongfang, we have one pound of meat and one pound of flour!" Yi Zhonghai said.

"That's good. I heard from Yang Ruihua that many units can't even guarantee 3 taels of meat, let alone bones," said Huang Guihua.

"This time it was given directly by the State Council. On the 28th day of the lunar year, we went to buy meat. Each person got one pound of meat, including bones, excluding the original half pound of meat.

Tomorrow the factory will go and get the original meat, prepare half a pound of meat, and eat it the day after tomorrow!" Yi Zhonghai said.

"Because of what Cao Dongfang did, the country has started to take care of the steel rolling mill. The State Council has much more power than your factory," Huang Guihua asked.

"The State Council is much stronger than our factory. There is no comparison. Even the Ministry has to listen to them. As for what Cao Dongfang does, I don't know, but -

The credit must be enormous!

It’s so big that even the country thinks it’s too big!” Yi Zhonghai said.

"It's the same as not saying anything! I'll cook all the mutton and add some vegetables. I'll have two meals tonight and tomorrow night, okay?" Huang Guihua asked.

"Two pounds of mutton is not a lot, let's cook it all. We can eat it during the Chinese New Year just like we do now. There's no need to wait until the Chinese New Year to eat it together. Liu Haizhong and I came back together.

As soon as we got outside the compound, the face in the bangs was like a changing face, and the expression changed so quickly that it was hilarious. "Yi Zhonghai said with a smile.

"He's already fifty, but he still can't let go of his pride. He always has a big belly and speaks in an official tone.

It's really annoying that he beats the child for no reason and hits him hard. No wonder Cao Dongfang looks down on him. "Huang Guihua said.

"Liu Haizhong is just like that, a waste. When will the mutton soup be ready? Let the kids come out to eat. It's nice to drink mutton soup in winter!" Yi Zhonghai said.

"The food will be ready soon. I asked them to wash their hands and eat. They all want to eat mutton." Huang Guihua said.

"Then call them out for dinner!

I haven’t had mutton soup for two years! "Yi Zhonghai said with emotion.
