Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 456: Fatty, every family is happy

As the sun sets, the bell rings in the institute on time, marking the end of the day's work.

The workers who got off work happily walked home with their rewards in hand.

Over in the courtyard, Yan Bugui was sitting on a small stool in front of his house, basking in the sun.

Today, he still maintains his past habits, wearing a pair of glasses, squinting his eyes and watching the passers-by vigilantly. Whenever he has the opportunity, he will come forward to chat, find every opportunity to inquire about gossip or ask for some small gifts.

After a while, he openly "begged" for two tomatoes and a small handful of green vegetables, which made Yan Bugui very happy. "I'm lucky today. There are so many things coming, and tonight's dishes are in order."

But the only thing that makes Yan Bugui a little dissatisfied is that since Jiang Yan and the others opened a door, almost all the people in the backyard have passed through Jiang Yan's place, and only occasionally visit this courtyard. Their living conditions are better than those in the courtyard. It was so much better, and they were quite generous. The few they slipped out from their fingers were enough for the whole family to eat for several days.

After being in the sun for so long, he was a little thirsty. Just when he was about to get up and go back to the house, he found that everyone in the yard seemed to be carrying things and heading home today. Everyone's face was filled with joy, but the people carrying things seemed to be It's someone from the research institute.

In recent years, the workers in the yard have been divided into two categories. One type works in the steel rolling mill, and the other type works in the research institute. Many people have watched the situation in the past few years. When it comes to life, this research institute is better than the steel rolling mill. Too many, and it sounds much better than a steel rolling mill. ,
Seeing the meat and other things they were carrying, Yan Bugui's saliva almost flowed out, and he forgot to go back to the house to drink water, so he quickly stopped a neighbor Lao Li who was walking towards the courtyard and asked: "Hey, Lao Li, are you celebrating the New Year today? Why are you all walking back with your things?"

Lao Li said with a smile: "You don't know, third uncle, that our research institute has made great contributions. The chief executive came to inspect the CNC machine tools in person, and it even made the headlines of the newspaper! The factory gave everyone a prize. A pound of good meat, a pound of apples and half a pound of toffee, why don't I take them back and give them to my grandson to try?"

When Lao Li said this, there was an indescribable pride in his eyes.

"What? The research institute issued a reward?" Yan Bugui's eyes widened in surprise.

He quickly asked: "What's going on? This year, if there is no holiday, rewards will be given out. Your institute has come up with something good again! Who has done the big credit? Why are rewards suddenly given out? ?”

Lao Li lowered his voice mysteriously and said: "It's Jiang Yan, Mr. Jiang, who lives in the small courtyard next door to us. He led us to build the world's leading machine tool equipment and became famous in one fell swoop! His superiors gave him a reward. He didn’t ask for it, so it’s all given to our employees. I have to say that Mr. Jiang is benevolent and righteous.”

"What? It was Jiang Yan who did it?" Yan Bugui was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and his face suddenly became uncertain.But the next moment he asked Lao Li in a low voice.

"How much has the superior rewarded him! This can be distributed to the entire institute."

"It's quite a lot. According to rumors, it's several thousand dollars! There are also some bills."

After Lao Li left, Yan Bugui had a look of sadness on his face.

"This prodigal kid really doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are! He took away thousands of yuan in one fell swoop. Hearing this makes me feel very distressed. Until now, my family still has no savings of 1000 yuan. This is really a prodigal son. If he gave it to his own family, his family would not be able to live a prosperous life." Thinking of this, Yan Bugui felt that his heart was hurting, and he didn't bother to get something more at the door. He went home and lay on the bed. Those who didn't know it thought Yan Bugui was sick!
Not long after he lay on the bed, a thought suddenly crossed his mind - he had a good relationship with Jiang Yan and the others now, and they also respected him quite a bit. If he went to congratulate him, he might even be able to get along with him. Eat meat.

So Yan Bugui immediately decided to go to Jiang Yan's house later.

……

On the other side, Mrs. Jia Zhang just walked out of a sister's house holding her golden grandson. Now this Mrs. Jia Zhang is quite proud. Counting all the people in Nanluogu Lane, there are basically not many families with two workers. She Life at home is much better to the naked eye, so now Jia and Zhang always like to visit each other when they have nothing to do, and they will talk about the family's shortcomings. She often shows off the current situation of her family to her elder sisters. When Jia died, everyone else was watching his own jokes. Now look at it, none of their families can compare to his own. Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Perhaps life is easier for the Jia family now. This Jia Zhang family is far from being as mean as described in the book. Although she is shrewd, she still makes a certain amount of sense. However, this matter of gossiping between the east and west families cannot be changed.

As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the alley, we saw many people carrying meat and heading home, with joy on their faces.

"Oh my God, is this the Chinese New Year? Why are every household carrying meat and walking back?" Mrs. Jia Zhang whispered to herself.

She saw an acquaintance in her yard and quickly stopped a young man to ask why.

He was very excited when he heard that the institute rewarded everyone with meat.

Although her son was at the steel rolling mill, her daughter-in-law was at the research institute. Maybe she could bring meat back when she came back. The thought of eating meat at night made Jia Zhang's mouth water.

She didn't go home at that moment. She turned around and walked directly to the vegetable market. Having meat to eat is always a good thing. She quickly bought some food and went home. She can treat herself tonight!
Is this Jia Zhang missing a mouth?To be honest, she really has a lot to talk about. Her daughter-in-law gives her three yuan every month, and her son secretly gives her a few yuan when he has time. She has made a lot of money in the past few years, and she can be greedy when she has time. Sometimes I would secretly buy myself some braised pork and the like, but who wouldn’t be excited to eat meat openly?
After buying the groceries, Mrs. Jia Zhang's face was filled with unusual joy.

She didn't buy many vegetables, only a few bunches of green vegetables and a few round potatoes. These potatoes were meant to be stewed with the meat. As long as the meat is added to the potatoes, they would be more delicious than the meat!

Looking at the rich ingredients, Jia Zhang was so excited that she wanted to start cooking immediately, so she walked home a little faster. She was a little tired just now, but now she was full of energy and felt that walking another five kilometers would not be a problem.

After returning home, Mrs. Jia Zhang arranged for her golden grandson, and then went directly to the kitchen to take out the cooking utensils, cleaned them, and started chopping vegetables.The sweet aroma of vegetables soon spread.

After preparing the vegetarian dishes, cutting the potatoes, and preparing the stick noodle porridge and steamed buns, Mrs. Jia Zhang sat on the chair beside her, rubbing her hands constantly, with excitement and expectation that could not be concealed on her face.
