Siheyuan: I live next door to Xu Damao, my last name is Cao

Chapter 7: The Birds' Strange Movements

Only after returning home did Cao Wei begin to enjoy his delicious food.

Although Cao Wei’s cooking skills are not very good, the food is still very delicious thanks to the excellent ingredients.

While Cao Wei was happily eating his dinner, the beasts in the yard became a little uneasy.

Backyard, Liu Haizhong's home.

"Whose chicken is this?"

Liu Haizhong smelled the aroma of meat in the air and sniffed it greedily.

This smells so delicious.

"It smells like it came from Old Cao's house." Second Aunt sniffed hard.

The yard is so small that if someone eats something delicious and fragrant, the fragrance will spread quickly throughout the yard.

In this age of oil and water scarcity, the taste is even more obvious.

"That means Cao Wei is eating chicken, but I didn't see him buying chicken."

She said with some envy as she held a mouthful of scrambled eggs in her bangs.

Liu Haizhong was in a bad mood today, so he asked his second aunt to fry two eggs and prepared to drink some wine to relieve his mood. Unexpectedly, the neighbors actually stewed a chicken, which made him even more depressed.

The reason why Liu Haizhong was depressed was that a level six fitter like him in their workshop was promoted to a team leader and was in charge of a few people, but he was still an ordinary worker, which made him very upset.

He didn't understand why he was not allowed the job after applying so many times, but was instead approved to another level 6 fitter.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu smelled the fragrance in the air, which made them very greedy. How long had it been since they last ate meat?

His father was muttering something about team leader and his attention was not on the scrambled eggs. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu looked at each other, and each of them stretched out a pair of evil chopsticks and stretched them towards the scrambled eggs in front of Liu Haizhong.

"Ouch."

"Mom, why did you hit us?"

Before Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu's chopsticks touched the eggs, they were hit on the back of their hands by a pair of chopsticks.

The two cried out in pain.

"This is your father's snack, you can't touch it." said the second aunt.

I have to say that the couple are quite consistent and both favor the eldest brother.

I don't care about the second and third children, and I don't ask for much. Just keep them alive.

As for wanting to eat eggs, that's impossible.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu felt very aggrieved, but they didn't say anything else.

Because Liu Haizhong was already looking at them with dissatisfaction, they didn't dare to move.

If you move again, the consequence will be a meal of fried pork with belt.

It was not the first time that Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were treated differently, so after being wronged they stopped talking and just quietly ate their steamed buns and pickles.

............

The old man eats early, and they have to deliver food to the deaf old lady, so they cook a little earlier.

When he smelled the fragrance, his mouth, which had just eaten pickles, suddenly became tasteless.

Meat still tastes better.

"It seems to be the Cao Wei family in the backyard."

The aunt looked at Yi Zhonghai. As they had been married for so many years, she naturally knew that he was also greedy.

"I'll buy some meat tomorrow morning, and then we'll have a good meal when you come back in the evening," said the aunt.

Now Yi Zhonghai is a seventh-level fitter, and his salary is 84.5 yuan.

In this day and age, five dollars is enough for a person to eat and live.

One can imagine how high Yi Zhonghai's eighty-four and a half dollars is.

Moreover, there are only two people in their family who spend money, and they are very frugal in eating. Only the eldest aunt is in poor health and needs to buy medicine. Even if the expenses of the deaf old lady are taken into account, they can still save more than 60 yuan a month, so they never have a shortage of money, it's just a matter of whether they want to or not.

"Okay, make it tomorrow and send some to the old lady. But don't send too much. The old lady should be able to eat some meat today. It's not good for her to eat it every day." Yi Zhonghai reminded.

The lady replied: "Yes, I understand."

"I'm going to go out for a walk to help digest the food. I'll go check on the old lady later to see how she's eating."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he walked out the door.

He didn't want to stay at home and smell the meat, it was too tempting, so he decided to go out for a walk.

But he made the deaf old lady the ancestor of the courtyard, and everyone who saw her had to call her old lady.

Thanks to his efforts over the years, the atmosphere of respecting the elderly and loving the young in the hospital has become better and better.

It has almost become a consensus in the hospital to help the old lady, give her delicious food, and help the Jia Dongxu family in need.

So Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that Cao Wei didn't send chicken to the old lady at all.

Jia Dongxu's home is even more lively.

"Grandma, I want to eat meat."

Bang Geng had a very sharp nose and could smell the aroma of meat a long time ago. He immediately put down his chopsticks, threw away the steamed buns, and started crying to Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang didn't smell anything at first, but after Bang Geng reminded her, she smelled the chicken in the air.

"Whose family is eating meat?"

Jia Zhang narrowed her inverted triangle eyes and sniffed carefully in the direction where the scent came from.

But we can only conclude that the smell is coming from the backyard.

Banggeng was a very fast kid. After putting down the steamed bun, he ran around outside.

"Grandma, the taste is from Cao Wei's family. Cao Wei eats chicken at home, so I want to eat it too."

Banggeng started shouting as soon as he got home.

"What meat are you eating? We don't have any chicken for you at home. Just eat your steamed buns honestly." Qin Huairu scolded.

"That guy Cao Wei is eating chicken? When did he buy the chicken? Why didn't I see it?"

Jia Dongxu was a little confused. He came back with Cao Wei with nothing in his hands, so how come he could eat meat now?

“This meat tastes really good.”

Jia Dongxu said enviously.

"This kid from the Cao family is so heartless. Our family is living such a difficult life, but he didn't even give us anything first." Jia Zhang complained with curses.

"Really? This kid is so bad." Jia Dongxu agreed.

Although he and Cao Wei were still good brothers when they went home together in the afternoon, Jia Dongxu forgot about it in a blink of an eye. After all, it was Cao Wei who betrayed him. He ate the meat himself and didn't even send some to their family.

Banggeng heard his mother's scolding and looked at the steamed bun that Qin Huairu handed over to him.

"I don't want to eat it. I don't want to eat it. I want to eat meat. I want to eat chicken."

Banggeng kept crying and making a fuss, as if he would not give up until he got the meat.

Following his lead, Xiaodang and Huaihua also started crying.

Xiaodang is already four years old and has already had the concept of meat in her mind. In her opinion, if her brother cries for food, she can get it if she cries too.

As for Huaihua, she is only two years old and doesn’t know what meat is yet. She just saw someone crying and wanted to join in the fun.
