I am in the courtyard, animals are just vegetables!

Chapter 4: It’s time for a full-house meeting! Let’s go!

After hearing her mother say she didn't want to eat, Cao Jiajia took the popsicle and walked back to the big house. She sat on Xiao Chengzi and asked, "Brother, do you want to eat? Jiajia hasn't eaten yet."

Cao Dongfang looked at Cao Jiajia, who was drooling and trying hard to resist the urge to eat the popsicle, and asked himself, "Jiajia, eat it. Brother has already eaten."

"Okay, I'll eat a little first and then have dinner." Cao Jiajia said, peeling off the popsicle wrapper and licking the popsicle in small bites.

Fortunately, she didn't use her tongue, but just put the popsicle on her lips and licked it with her tongue. Her big eyes were still rolling around and looking around.

The little face is rosy and very cute.

"Dongfang, serve the meal. Jiajia, wash your hands and eat." Cao's mother shouted in the kitchen.

"coming."

Cao Dongfang went to serve the meal. Jia Jia put the popsicle in an empty bowl and went to wash her hands, preparing to eat.

There were two dishes, fried leek and egg and a portion of fried liver, two steamed corn breads, and three steamed buns made of white flour.

The food is not bad!

Because her two children are minors, Cao's mother has always been generous with her food and basically spends all of her monthly salary. Since she has a pension, she doesn't save money and buys white flour buns at street stalls.

One was 10 cents, weighed 2 taels, and no coupons were needed. (At this time, flour in the old city began to use coupons for trial.)

Pork liver is less than 55 cents per pound in the "Pigeon Market" (now it is a free market, it was called Pigeon Market after ), but you really can't buy it if there are no people. Leeks and eggs are not expensive, but they are precious because they are rare. Leeks are cents per pound and eggs are two or three cents each. Sometimes you can't buy them even if you have money.

The free market costs 30% to 50% more, but there are too many wolves and too little meat to buy.

Cao Dongfang was very conscientious. He took a steamed bun with white flour and waited for his mother to start eating.

The Cao family had five steamed buns every night, three of which were white flour buns, one for each person, and two were corn bread for those who did not have enough white flour buns. This was stipulated by Cao Dongfang in order to prevent Cao's mother from not eating the white flour buns.

.......

"Wait a minute." Cao Dongfang said, and took out three big buns from his schoolbag. "Come on, let's each have one. They're still hot. Jiajia won't tell anyone that we eat big buns when she goes out."

"Okay, brother, I won't tell you. My mother taught me that our family eats steamed buns and pickles." Cao Jiajia said seriously with her little face.

"Dongfang, what you bought is still hot. I can't get it after get off work, so it's usually sold out in the morning. Big meat filling is good. You and Jiajia both need some nourishment. It's better to have a healthy body and not get sick than to have money but not eat." said Cao's mother.

Listen, this is what a truly cultured person should say. You will spend more money if you save money for illness and poor health when you are old.

Like Uncle Yan, he only schemed a little, but in the end he lost all his family affection, and his children ate so poorly when they were young, and when they grew up... For example, Yan Jiecheng.

How much money can a security guard in a courtyard house make? He has to leave early every day. The third uncle will be evaluated for these things, because his background does not qualify him as a cadre, but his salary will be higher by one or half a level than what he earns from standing guard.

To scheme against others, you should learn from Yi Zhonghai. If you scheme against a person or a family for a whole life, that is what it means to be a real person. No matter good or bad, you will achieve your goal.

"My classmate bought it. He lives nearby. I liked it, so I asked him to buy three more for me to try. I'll buy more when they're better." Cao Dongfang said.

"Brother, it's delicious." said sister Cao Jiajia with her mouth full of buns.

"It's good, with thin skin and big fillings, and most importantly, it tastes good." Cao's mother Li Yurong said. "This bun is also big, one weighs two taels." "How much is one?"

"Two cents." Cao Dongfang said.

"It's worth it. I'll go to my classmates and buy a few more later. The filling alone weighs one and a half taels. The price of meat in the market is not cheap, and you won't be able to buy good meat if you're late. Dongfang, do you have any money left? I'll give you some more." Cao's mother said.

"No need, I have saved more than 60 yuan, which is enough." Cao Dongfang said.

"Brother, the buns are delicious. You can buy them for me when you visit your classmate's house next time." Cao Jiajia said seriously.

Seeing the serious expression on Cao Jiajia's face, Cao Dongfang pinched her face and said, "Okay, I know, I will definitely buy it for Jiajia, you greedy little pig."

"Humph, I'm not a greedy pig. If my brother buys some buns, mom can eat more." Cao Jiajia said seriously with a stern face.

"Hahaha, thank you Jiajia for thinking of mom." Cao's mother said with a smile.

Cao's mother, Zhao Yurong, is 165 cm tall and has a pretty face, not the image of a fairy. She works as a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative. Because she likes reading and has attended high school, she has a rare scholarly air and has almost never had a fight with anyone.

Everyone in the courtyard was reasonable, except for a few old men who were spying on Cao's mother. Cao's mother knew that they were just too lazy to care, as these people were not talkative and just looked at her a few more times.

The three members of the Cao family ate while talking. Cao Dongfang ate a steamed bun, half a steamed bun, and a few bites of vegetables. He was full and helped Cao's mother clean up the dishes.

.......

Cao Dongfang did not go hunting in the mountains these days, but studied his junior high school textbooks at home. Cao Dongfang later graduated from a prestigious university, but he had forgotten all the junior high school content. Fortunately, the current second and third grade textbooks are not difficult, except for -

Teddy bear language!

At this time, most junior high schools in Beijing were learning Mao Xiong language, not Ying Sauce language.

Damn it, this is really difficult for Cao Dongfang. After traveling through time, his mind is clearer than in his previous life, but he has never learned Mao Xiong language. The predecessor in his memory was not good at Mao Xiong language either, a piece of trash. The other subjects were okay.

Angry young man?

I don’t want to learn a foreign language!

Bear language! Eagle language! You need to know both!

You must learn the language of the Mao Xiong.

The classmate I know is good at speaking Maoxiong language.

Alas, I can’t remember.

Let’s talk about it after school starts.

.......

After dinner on Saturday, Cao's mother took Cao Jiajia for a walk to help digest the food, while Cao Dongfang stayed at home alone to study.

Soon, he heard a commotion in the middle courtyard, as if something had happened, including something about Jia Zhang. The old shrew was calling for "Old Jia" again. Cao Dongfang heard some of it at home.

I wonder who this old shrew is arguing with again.

Will the famous "general meeting" of Siheyuan be held? Will the great uncle Yi Zhonghai come out to take sides?

Will the three uncles start to control the people in the courtyard at the first formal "full courtyard meeting"?

Cao Dongfang was really looking forward to the 'General Assembly' and the performance of the three uncles, but it was mostly boring!

No TV!

No cell phone!

Cao Dongfang, with a thirty-year-old soul in his fifteen-year-old body, was extremely bored and hoped that there would be some entertainment programs in the courtyard.

......

when!when!when!

There was a knock on the door. Cao Dongfang put down his book, opened the door and saw Liu Haizhong's eldest son, Liu Guangqi, who was his classmate, but they had an average relationship.

Liu Guangqi is 170cm tall, with regular facial features. He looks okay on the outside, but he is an ungrateful person behind the scenes!

Liu Haizhong did not feel sorry for anyone, nor did he feel sorry for Liu Guangqi. In the end, Liu Guangqi ran away, which almost made Liu Haizhong and the second aunt angry to death. They were old, but Liu Guangqi did not provide for them in their old age.

From Cao Dongfang's perspective, Liu Guangqi is even worse than Liu Haizhong. Because what Liu Haizhong did behind the scenes was done by countless other people, and he and Liu Haizhong were not relatives, so there was no affection between the two sides, only interests!

But Liu Guangqi is Liu Haizhong's biological son. Liu Haizhong and his wife gave all the good things to Liu Guangqi, and Liu Guangqi was rarely beaten once a year. When Liu Guangqi got married, Liu Haizhong spent all the family fortune. How many fathers can do that?

"Guangqi, what's the matter? I'm learning the Mao Xiong language." Cao Dongfang said.

"Is Aunt Zhao not here? The three uncles are going to hold a meeting for the whole hospital. Just now, Jia Zhang snatched the dishes that Sha Zhu brought back from the restaurant where he learned cooking skills. Sha Zhu beat Jia Zhang, and Jia Zhang couldn't stand it anymore. She wanted Sha Zhu to pay compensation. This is what happened." Liu Guangqi finished speaking in one breath.

"That's it! Jia Zhang stole Sha Zhu's food, why didn't Sha Zhu cripple Jia Zhang? Why did he hold back against a robber?" Cao Dongfang was enjoying the fun.

"Hehe, I guess Shazhu wouldn't dare. Dongfang, tell Aunt Zhao that there will be a meeting in ten minutes. I'll go and inform others. Goodbye Dongfang." Liu Guangqi said with a polite smile.

"Guangqi, goodbye. I will tell you. If my mother doesn't come back, I will go. We are not children anymore." Cao Dongfang said with a smile.

"Okay then. I'll go first." Liu Guangqi said and went to inform others.

Oh, inform the Third Uncle, no way, the Third Uncle doesn’t know, is Yi Zhonghai taking the lead?

What a good plan. If he does this a few times, after a long time, everyone in the compound will know the third uncle Yan Bugui. It seems that Yi Zhonghai is going to take power.

What a pity, I will not let you take control of the Siheyuan easily. I will go and see how you play.

Cao Dongfang really wanted to see face to face whether Yi Zhonghai's face had turned crooked in 53, and whether he would openly protect the Jia family when it came to their affairs.

After waiting for Cao's mother for ten minutes and seeing no one come back, Cao Dongfang carried Xiao Chengzi to the central courtyard.

Hold a meeting of the whole institute!
