I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

After putting the cabbages needed by the three families into the cellar and after Cao's mother paid the money, Cao Dongfang sent the old man and the wagon out of the courtyard.

After a walk, I bought soy milk, tofu pudding, sesame cakes, and bean buns from Ximinniu and went home for breakfast.

There are four people in the Cao family, and they have two tastes. Cao's mother and He Yushui like to drink soy milk, Cao Dongfang and his sister like to eat tofu pudding, and everyone likes to eat sesame cakes and bean buns.

When I entered the courtyard, I was seen by the three gates again. This gatekeeper got up really early!

On Sunday, when Cao's mother and Cao Dongfang came back from buying cabbage, he washed up and worked as a security guard. He was not afraid of being cold even though he was still there early in the morning.

"Good morning, Third Uncle." Cao Dongfang greeted him and walked straight into the yard without paying any more attention to Yan Bugui.

He is more annoying than Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, but his character is better. He is not a real good person.

"That Dong..." Before the third uncle could say anything, Cao Dongfang had already entered the courtyard and was walking towards his home.

"Oh, I'm looked down upon by kids because I'm poor." The third uncle muttered to himself at the door.

.....

After dinner, Cao Dongfang started to study. It was past 8 o'clock, so he decided not to go out hunting. In the afternoon, he went to see Chen Xueru to see how she was doing since something happened to the person behind her.

"Brother, do you have any candy? Give me one quietly. I won't let mom know.

"Mom went out to Sister Chen's house." Cao Jiajia ran to the hut and said to Cao Dongfang.

"You want to steal some candy again. Here are apples. Eat them and have a nice meal." Cao Dongfang said.

"Brother, no, eat the candy first, and then eat the apple when mom is here!

This way, you can eat two candies a day." Cao Jiajia said while holding up two fingers to indicate.

"Hey, Jiajia is quite smart. I'll give you two candies. One for Sister Yushui and one for you."

Cao Dongfang took out two pieces of candy from his pocket and gave them to Cao Jiajia.

"Thank you, brother. I'll give a piece of candy to Sister Yushui." Cao Jiajia trotted out and answered loudly.

A clever little girl who became smart in order to eat candy.

.......

After lunch, Cao Dongfang strolled out of the courtyard and went to Chen Xueru.

The shop is open, so it doesn't seem to have any impact on Sister Xueru, so she's not a suspect!

As soon as I entered the store, I saw Chen Xueru and the shop assistants were there. There was only a couple in their 30s as customers, and no one else.

"Good afternoon, Sister Xueru. I heard that the family behind your house was an enemy spy and was arrested. Are you okay, Sister Xueru?" Cao Dongfang asked.

"Thank you, brother Dongfang, for your concern. I'm fine. I was shocked yesterday morning and the workers came to ask about everything.

The couple moved here in 45. I never thought they were enemy spies. I heard it was a thief who reported the case. "Chen Xueru said in a low voice.

"It's an exaggeration for a thief to report a crime." Cao Dongfang pretended to be unconvinced.

"It was really a thief. Gong'an reported that they found the couple's secret room while stealing things. There were guns and a radio!

After taking the money, I also went to Gongan to report the case and have the person arrested." Chen Xueru said affirmatively.

"Damn, there is actually someone who is more conscious than a handsome guy like me, and he is a thief. I also want to catch the enemy spy." Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"You're so handsome, but you can catch enemy spies. Be careful not to wet your pants when you see them." Chen Xueru said contemptuously.

"Stop joking. My life is at stake. Sister Xueru, do you have good cotton? I want to make three quilts for my family." Cao Dongfang asked.

"Brother Dongfang is great. He thinks about his family now that he has money and knows how to buy things for them. He's better than Hou Jie!

In the three years since we got married, you haven’t even bought me a piece of cloth.” Chen Xueru was filled with resentment.

"Brother Hou Jie, this won't do. Although Sister Xueru has a clothing store, the clothes she buys for you are different from the clothes you own. She needs to be taught a lesson!

After Sister Xueru gives birth, I will buy you a cheongsam." Cao Dongfang said generously, stepping on Hou Jie.

"Thank you, Brother Dongfang. I can't rely on Hou Jie. Brother Dongfang, I have special-grade cotton here, the best cotton!

How many beds are you going to make and what are their sizes? "Chen Xueru asked about Cao Dongfang's business.

“三床褥子冬天的做厚些，一床是220X195，一床150X190，一床140X190。

There are four quilts, two standard quilts for me and my mom, a small quilt for my sister, and a quilt for Rainwater, which can be made into an adult quilt as well!

You decide what fabrics to use for the inside and outside. We'll just use whatever is suitable for us. We're not picky. The quilt is also for winter, so it's thicker. "Cao Dongfang said.

"Your requirement requires a lot of cotton, and it will be a little more expensive," said Chen Xueru.

"It's okay. I can afford it every few years. Sister Xueru, don't worry. Do you deliver to your door?

There are too many things and I am too lazy to take them. In December, I am making some clothes for the New Year. Why not spend the money? "Cao Dongfang smiled.

"I know what brother Dongfang wants. There's no rush. I'll send someone to deliver it within seven days, after six in the evening!

I remember your mother didn't come back from work until almost six o'clock." Chen Xueru said.

"Six to nine o'clock in the evening is fine, there is someone at home." Cao Dongfang said.

"Okay, I'll send someone to deliver it once it's done. There's a lot of stuff, and it's hard to carry it by bicycle." Chen Xueru said.

"Then I'll trouble Sister Xueru. Send it to me and tell me the price. I'll pay." Cao Dongfang said.

"I know you have money. Do you have time before the New Year?" Chen Xueru asked in a low voice.

"There was nothing before the New Year, but there was something after the New Year. I've been fine since the third year of the Chinese New Year. I was also fine in December, but something happened just after the holiday until the New Year." Cao Dongfang said.

"Then December is fine too. I can get 12 radio parts and 110 bicycle parts, and earn some New Year's money," said Chen Xueru.

Sister Xueru, you are awesome. Nearly 12 yuan is your annual money, which is enough for December. A radio is easier to assemble than a bicycle!

That's not right... Sister Xueru should give birth in mid-December, is there time?" Cao Dongfang said after reacting.

"Having a baby is not as important as making money. I'll work and let Hou Jie contact other people. It won't affect us." Chen Xueru was so blinded by money that she didn't even care about having a baby.

"That's fine. Just let someone notify me when the goods arrive. It's cold and I can just work in a small room." Cao Dongfang said.

"No problem, I have the room."

After chatting with Chen Xueru for another ten minutes, Cao Dongfang went home.

......

Before entering the courtyard, I put a roast chicken and a pound of braised beef in a big schoolbag. I also took out ten pounds of rice and put it in the bag, so that I could make rice and a soup in the evening.

If you go out and buy something, no one will suspect anything, but the money...is from hunting!

In the more than two months since school started, Cao Dongfang would sell a few wild animals from Butcher Zhang in the Dongcheng Market every week or two.

In Xicheng District, Cao Dongfang also knew two butchers, Zhang and Wang, who occasionally sold wild animals and always pierced their heads with a javelin!

The butchers saw clearly that Cao Dongfang was strong, young, and powerful.

Up to now, the amount on the formal invoices issued by the three of them alone is 2300 yuan. The house was renovated in April and May, and the excuse of money came.

As long as there is an excuse, having money is not a problem. Cao's mother also knew that Cao Dongfang had money, so she didn't ask how much and just let Cao Dongfang go!

With Cao Dashan's pension in hand, Cao Dongfang doesn't care if he is short of money in the future.

She has money!

It doesn't matter whether Cao's mother has money or not. In the 5s or 60s, if you had 2000 yuan to spend on your wedding, then... you were awesome. 99% of people are not as good as you.

.....

“Hey, the rice bought from the East, your family hasn’t bought any whole grains in months!

My family hasn't eaten rice for half a year, and we are still poor, not as good as yours." said the third uncle Yan Bugui.

"That's because Uncle Three couldn't bear to eat it. I know how much Uncle Three earns as a teacher.

Rice that costs 3 cents a pound in the market can be afforded occasionally. Good health is the capital of revolution. No amount of money is worse than a good health.

There is still a lot of money! But the person is gone!

That is the most painful thing! "

"Third uncle, see you later."

After Cao Dongfang finished speaking, he pushed the cart home. The third uncle's family wanted rice. He was getting more and more shameless. He told them how much your salary was. If you pretend to be poor in front of me, I will tell everyone in the hospital your salary and see how you can pretend to be poor again.

"Huh? How does this kid know my salary? Maybe he asked his teacher when he was in elementary school!

This kid is smart and sinister enough. Forget it, let his family go. He is an orphan and a widow, and I feel embarrassed to take advantage of him. I will talk about it after Cao Dongfang becomes an adult.

"Mom, I'm back." Cao Dongfang pushed the cart into the house.

"Brother, what delicious food did you buy now?" Cao Jiajia asked.

"Brother Dongfang is back." He Yushui is here too, so she doesn't need to light a fire in her little house, which can save money.

He Yushui earned five yuan a month, and Cao's mother kept one yuan for one month's food allowance. If she didn't keep some, the little girl would feel embarrassed to eat.

The little girl kept the remaining four dollars for use in school.
