I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

After school in the evening, Cao Fangdong bought ten big buns for dinner, and He Yushui made a fire and made a tomato and egg soup for dinner.

In early November, the weather in Beijing was a little cool, but not too cold and still bearable.

At 6:, Yan Jiecheng announced a meeting of the entire institute as his superiors had notified him.

Oh, it’s about the enemy spies again. There was quite a commotion today, so it’s normal to notify them!

It has been four years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Many enemy spies were arrested in the first three years. Only after the city stabilized was military control lifted and the government management era began.

It was cold, so Cao Dongfang didn't need to go with his mother. He carried a small stool to the meeting and sat under the window of Sha Zhu's house. He Yushui sat next to Cao Dongfang.

The two of them each took a piece of candy and put it in their mouths, ready to listen to the instructions from the three uncles. The others were greedy when they saw it, but they didn't care!

Hard candy costs only one cent a piece, which is not expensive and everyone can afford it. Grandma Wang and Widow Chen’s families have bought it before. Now that they live far away, they don’t have to give it to them.

He Yushui has been eating at Cao's house for more than two months now. He obviously eats better than before, has gained some weight, and even has baby fat on his face.

If Cao's mother hadn't taken her and Cao Jiajia for a walk after dinner every day, He Yushui would probably have a double chin.

He Daqing wrote in mid-September saying that he had found a job and also sent five dollars to He Yushui.

He Yushui's letter and money were sent to where Cao's mother worked, hoping that Cao's mother would pass them on to He Yushui and his siblings.

The letter said that he had found a job and had a stable life. He also asked about the situation of Sha Zhu and He Yu Shui, and told He Yu Shui and Sha Zhu that he initially left 300 yuan for the brother and sister.

He was robbed and another 250 yuan was taken away, leaving only 50 yuan, so the brother and sister could save some money!

Because he was still paying back Yi Zhonghai, he could only send He Yushui five yuan a month first, and then send more when he got private work.

He also said sorry to He Yushui, saying that he was forced to run away.

Cao Dongfang didn't care, but he didn't expect that He Daqing sent the letter and money to his mother. He should stay away from this old pervert He Daqing.

Cao Dongfang was fine, but He Yushui was crying her eyes out. She only stopped crying after Cao Jiajia persuaded her with a piece of her candy.

Cao Jiajia performed well and has a talent for persuasion!

Cao Dongfang asked He Yushui to write back to He Daqing to report her safety and tell him about her and Sha Zhu's current situation so that they could communicate through letters frequently in the future.

Good guy! What a great guy!

He Yushui is very vengeful. Not only did he write that life in the Cao family was better than before, but he also focused on what the uncle and aunt did after He Daqing left.

Remember the key point! He Yushui wrote a two-page letter under the guidance of Cao Dongfang!

Most of the page was about her and Sha Zhu, and more than half was about what an old man, an old woman, and a deaf old lady did to her and Sha Zhu.

Women hold grudges!

No matter big or small!

After reading He Yushui's letter, Cao Dongfang believed it. The letter was full of resentment towards the old man and others, and he still hadn't forgotten it even after almost a month.

On TV, it is understandable that He Yushui tricked Sha Zhu. It was intentional. He Yushui held a grudge and hated He Daqing first and then Sha Zhu.

Thinking about it, it was a bit cruel to do something to betray her brother, but it was also understandable. His good relationship with Qin Huairu was just a fake, otherwise she would not have never returned to Siheyuan after getting married.

They are all in the old city, not far away, not to mention that Shazhu, the only brother, lives in a courtyard...

In the letter, He Daqing gave three more rooms to Sha Zhu and He Yushui. He Yushui got a small room, Sha Zhu got a main room and a utility room.

Sha Zhu, who has become very successful, lives alone in two rooms of more than 70 square meters. The room is not much smaller than the three rooms of the Cao family, which are only 78 square meters.

......

"Everyone, the weather is cold this time. We are holding a meeting of the whole institute to convey the notice from our superiors. I hope... Uncle Yi Zhonghai finished speaking.

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, the second uncle Liu Haizhong stood up and said.

"Dear neighbors, today the three of us received a notice from the street office to convene a general meeting of the entire courtyard. The main reason is that another enemy spy has appeared!

We... Liu Haizhong started a long speech in an official tone, but before he finished, the people in the compound were fed up.

"Second uncle, if you have anything to say, please speak faster. You are talking so much that it is longer than the document."

"A poor old man, conveying the documents and spirit of his superiors. No matter how high his position is, why is he pretending..."

"Uncle, please read the documents quickly. It's getting cold."

"Speak the spirit of the superiors quickly, don't say unnecessary things."

Liu Haizhong didn't dare to anger the crowd, so he had to sit down with a grim face.

The first and third uncles standing next to him also looked at Liu Haizhong with disdain and looked down upon him.

"Everyone, come down and tell me about the notice from the superiors. Because there are enemy spies again, I hope everyone will be alert and find out...

Three minutes later, Yi Zhonghai finished speaking the spirit conveyed by his superiors.

In summary, you need to be vigilant, be careful of the enemy, report suspicious persons to the street or work safety department in a timely manner, and pay attention to your own safety.

"I see. You can go home now, old man."

"Everyone, please adjourn the meeting." Yi Zhonghai did not give Liu Haizhong a chance to speak.

Liu Haizhong's face looked very ugly, but he didn't dare to offend Yi Zhonghai and the people in the compound, so he had to go home in disappointment.

Soon, the sound of Liu Guangtian crying loudly came from Liu's house. Liu Haizhong was beating Liu Guangtian to vent his anger.

In Liu Haizhong's family, the eldest son Liu Guangqi is 15 years old, the same age as Cao Dongfang. Old Liu basically never beats Liu Guangqi!

The second child, Liu Guangtian, is 6 years old and is also a naughty kid. The third child, Liu Guangfu, is only 4 years old and a little younger.

So Liu Guangtian is the most unlucky. He is Liu Haizhong's punching bag. Whenever Liu Haizhong is in a bad mood and wants to beat the children, it is basically Liu Guangtian's fault.

From what I saw on TV, it seems like this family is no good. If you are not from the same family, you won’t enter their door.

When Cao Dongfang returned home, he didn't care about Liu Haizhong's family affairs. "If parents are unkind, children will be unfilial." This was Liu Haizhong's own choice and had nothing to do with others.

Because the Cao family started making a fire in early November and it didn't go out at night!

It was not until the next morning that the lights for work and school were turned off. The room was relatively warm, and He Yushui was also doing homework at Cao's house.

.......

The next day was Sunday, and Cao Dongfang was going to buy cabbage. Early November was the time of the year to store cabbage.

500 pounds!

Early in the morning, Cao Dongfang rode his bike to the market with his mother, while Cao Jiajia played with He Yushui at home.

Cao Dongfang didn't want his mother to come. It was cold in the morning, so he could do it himself.

"Dongfang, you have never bought cabbage and you don't know how to choose it. Cabbage is related to the family's wintering. We can't be careless. It's not like buying coal." said Cao's mother.

Well, you are right. I have something systematic that I cannot say. No one helped Cao Dongfang buy cabbage. It was really the first time for Cao Dongfang to buy cabbage. This cannot be refuted.

There was no choice but to let Cao's mother catch up, and let He Yushui come earlier to look after Cao Jiajia.

Cao's mother also took a day off to store cabbage. No money will be deducted for this leave, every adult has it!

The country has always attached great importance to this, especially after the unified purchase and sale of 55.

These are the tasks of each unit!

When we arrived at the nearby market, it was still early, but already very busy. Farmers were everywhere pulling large carts loaded with cabbages to sell.

Cabbage was not expensive, especially when the country was just founded. Because of the production and prices, a pound of cabbage cost only two to three cents!

It is to grade the quality of cabbage, the best one is 3 cents per pound, and the inferior one is cents per pound.

"Uncle, how much is your cabbage per pound?" Cao's mother asked an uncle selling cabbage about the price.

"Three cents less, two cents and eight cents more per pound." said the old man.

"Uncle, how much does this small cart of yours weigh?" asked Cao's mother.

"It's less than 600 kilograms. We can weigh it with a scale," said the old man.

"Uncle, I want them all. How about 2.5 cents per pound? Can you help me deliver them?" asked Cao's mother.

"My girl, the price you offered is too low. Two cents and six cents is the minimum. If you live not far away, I can deliver it to your home." said the farmer.

"That's fine. It's not far, less than 300 meters away. Just come to the compound to weigh it and I'll pay. Is that ok?" said Cao's mother.

"Can."

"Mom, you push my bicycle and I will help grandpa push the rickshaw." Cao Dongfang said.

"No need, young man. I have enough energy to work in the fields every day. Thank you, young man." The old man said with a smile.

In this way, the old man pulled the cart and Cao Dongfang pushed the cart from behind, and soon they arrived in front of the courtyard.

"Dongfang, take the big basket, weigh it at the door, and then bring it in." said Cao's mother.

"No need, it's more convenient to go into the yard to weigh it. Uncle, hold the front and I'll carry the car into the yard." After saying this, Cao Dongfang really picked up the wrench.

The old man took a look and decided to go into the yard. The gate was big enough, with steps and a threshold, so large trucks couldn't normally enter. But now Cao Dongfang could lift the cart and enter the yard without any problem.

This kid has really strong arms!
