Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

Chapter 28: The Jia Family Suffers Greatly Because of a Chicken

Li Feng left the factory a little earlier than usual today.

Because I received my salary.

Li Feng was in an exceptionally good mood. Now that he had received his salary, he was going to buy a chicken.

This chicken isn't for me to eat.

Instead, it was to be given to the He family.

After all, he had eaten so many meals at the He family's house, so giving them a chicken as a gift was reasonable.

So Li Feng went directly to the pigeon market to buy chickens.

Why did Li Feng go to Pigeon City?
That's because Li Feng doesn't have any hostages yet.

The factory will issue meat ration coupons.

But Li Feng didn't work a full month, so he didn't receive any meat coupons.

of course!

This is only the rule of the ceramics factory; other factories may not follow this rule.

However, Li Feng didn't care anymore; it didn't matter if he didn't have a ticket.

Buying them at the pigeon market is the same.

However, the price is a bit higher.

It's a bit pricey, but I don't buy things there often anyway.

When Li Feng arrived in Pigeon City, he found that even at almost 7 o'clock, there were still many people there.

This surprised Li Feng.

Surprised as I was!
But business still needed to be done. Li Feng asked several vendors and found that the price of chickens was generally a bit higher than in the regular market.

However, the only advantage here is that no tickets are required.

So Li Feng simply bought a live chicken here.

Li Feng spent a total of five yuan.

Li Feng's salary plus the rest was only twenty-five yuan.

Now, after buying a chicken, I only have twenty yuan left.

Ah!
Although I have less money, I still have twenty.

Eating in the cafeteria basically doesn't cost much.

You can spend this twenty yuan slowly.

When I get paid again next time, I won't be so poor anymore.

After all, at this time, it's best to save as much money as possible.

In this era, I'm still just an ordinary person. If I were to get sick, this amount of money really wouldn't be enough to cover the medical expenses.

If you are a leader, your medical expenses will be reimbursed.

After buying the chicken, Li Feng carried it towards the courtyard house.

Even though Li Feng walked quite fast, it still took him about forty minutes to get home.

By the time Li Feng got home, it was almost eight o'clock.

At this time, almost everyone in the courtyard closed their doors.

However, none of the people in the courtyard were asleep.

It's still early, after all.

Generally speaking, wait until around 10 o'clock.

They were all almost ready to go to sleep.

In this era, there were no entertainment options.

If you have a wife, you can have a baby.

A man without a wife can only toss and turn in bed.

Li Feng guessed that Sha Zhu belonged to the latter category.

When Li Feng brought the live chicken to the yard, the chicken's squawking attracted the attention of the neighbors.

After all, no one has bought chickens recently.

At this moment, Uncle Yan Bugui, who lived in the front yard of the courtyard, saw Li Feng return carrying a chicken and couldn't help but say to his wife, Aunt San.

"Look at this!"

"Li Feng, that kid, just got a job and he's already showing off with a little money. He bought a chicken not long after he started working."

"That's incredibly wasteful of their money."

As the saying goes, you won't get poor from eating or dressing, but you will get poor if you don't plan ahead.

"I don't think Xiao Li will amount to anything."

The third aunt glared at Yan Bugui and couldn't help but say.

"Why are you bothering with other people's business?"

"It's none of your business. What other people want to buy is their business."

Upon hearing his wife's words, Yan Bugui couldn't help but say something.

"I'm the third oldest man in the courtyard."

"Can't I even interfere in what's going on with young people?"

"Besides, it's not like I didn't care, is it?"

At this moment, Yan Bugui was somewhat speechless.

After hearing Yan Bugui's words, the third aunt pointed to the location of the first uncle's room and said.

"In this courtyard, isn't it Old Yi who calls the shots?"

"Old Yan, I still advise you not to get involved in these things."

Yan Bugui said somewhat irritably.

"I didn't get involved, did I?"

"Alright! Alright!"

"sleep!".

"sleep!".

At this moment, Yan Bugui was a little angry because of what the three aunts said, so he simply said, "Go to sleep."

Li Feng, of course, had no idea what had happened at his third uncle's house.

At that moment, he knocked directly on Sha Zhu's door.

Sha Zhu was still awake at this time, while He Yushui was doing housework. After finishing the housework, He Yushui was going to go to her room to sleep.

He Yushui does not live with Sha Zhu.

She has a room near the entrance of Li Feng's house.

This is the room where she stays at night.

Sha Zhu was drinking at home when he heard a knock on the door. He immediately told He Yushui to open it.

He Yushui glared at her brother, then went to open the door. When she opened the door and saw Li Feng, a smile appeared on her face.

"Brother Feng!"

"What brings you here so late?"

Upon hearing this, Li Feng picked up the chicken and said to He Yushui.

"This is for your family."

When He Yushui saw the chicken in Li Feng's hand, she was somewhat surprised and said to Li Feng.

"Brother Feng!"

"Why are you spending so much money?"

"Brother Feng, you should take the chicken back."

Just then, Sha Zhu walked up behind He Yushui and then saw the chicken in Li Feng's hand.

He said to Li Feng with some surprise.

"What are you going to do with the chicken?"

Li Feng simply said to Sha Zhu calmly.

"This is for you."

"I got paid today, so I bought a chicken for you."

"I've eaten so many meals at your house before."

"This chicken is yours."

"This is a matter of reciprocity. If you don't accept it, I won't come to your house for meals anymore."

In the end, Sha Zhu persuaded He Yushui to accept the chicken.

Then Sha Zhu asked He Yushui to pluck the chicken.

Li Feng was invited inside by Sha Zhu.

Then Sha Zhu said to Li Feng.

"Today, you have to have a couple of drinks with your brother."

"I'll cook braised chicken myself later."

Hearing this, Li Feng didn't refuse.

After all, he had just said that it was only right to reciprocate, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him to refuse immediately.

quickly!

He Yushui then plucked the chicken and even killed it.

Sha Zhu went to cook.

quickly!

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of roasted chicken.

It floated directly to the Jia family's house.

At this moment, the entire Jia family had just gone to bed.

at this time
Jia Dongxu was still awake when he smelled a delicious aroma of roast chicken.

Upon smelling the aroma, Jia Dongxu felt his appetite being whetted.

At this moment, he couldn't help but swallow.

Since the birth of Xiaodang, their family's life has become increasingly difficult.

I've been eating corn noodles for the past two months.

Now, smelling the aroma of roast chicken, his stomach began to rumble.

This made Jia Dongxu feel very uncomfortable.

But the roast chicken belonged to someone else, so he could only swallow hard, clutch his stomach, and close his eyes to try and sleep.

However, Jia Dongxu, drawn by the aroma, really wanted to eat it.

In the end, he could only cover his face with the blanket to prevent himself from smelling the fragrance.

the other side

Qin Huairu and Bang Geng also smelled this scent.

At this point, Banggeng started arguing with his mother.

"mom!".

"I want to eat chicken."

After smelling the odor, Qin Huairu knew why her son was acting this way, but all she could do was hug him and talk to him.

"Bang Geng!"

"Mom will cook something delicious for you tomorrow."

Banggeng hugged Qin Huairu and said coquettishly.

"Mom! I really want to eat roast chicken."

Qin Huairu was also very upset after hearing her son's words.

Now my whole family is supported by Dongxu.

At this point, being able to eat your fill is already a great achievement.

Where would they find extra money to buy chickens?

So even if she wanted to buy chicken for her son, Qin Huairu couldn't do it.

So Qin Huairu could only try to persuade her son.

"Bang Geng!"

"I'll buy it for you later, okay?"

However, Banggeng didn't listen to her mother and just cried and begged to eat chicken.

Qin Huairu got annoyed by Bang Geng's crying and slapped him twice, leaving two red marks on his face.

Bang Geng cried after being hit by Qin Huairu.

Seeing the slap mark on Bang Geng's face, Qin Huairu felt guilty and hugged Bang Geng.

In the end, she could only sigh deeply.

Not far from Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi was sleeping while holding Xiao Dang.

She could also smell the roast chicken.

Of course, Jia Zhangshi saw it when Li Feng bought the chicken.

At this moment, she couldn't help but curse Li Feng in her heart.

"This little rascal, making roast chicken so late, he must be a reincarnation of a starving ghost."

"I'm so angry!"

of course!

Li Feng was unaware of these matters.
