Courtyard House: Starting in a Ceramics Factory

After Sha Zhu comforted his sister, Li Feng asked Sha Zhu why everyone in the yard had come back today.

It was only then that Sha Zhu told Li Feng.

Today is the last day of work at the steel rolling mill. Since the two older men in the yard are now working the day shift, they get off work relatively early. The third older man in the yard is a primary school teacher, and he had already taken a holiday a couple of days ago.

Only after Li Feng heard what Sha Zhu said did he realize the truth.

It turns out that the steel rolling mills have all started to close for the holidays.

The ceramics factory where I work shows no signs of closing for the past few days.

So Li Feng started asking Sha Zhu why the steel rolling mill was closing earlier this year than last year.

Sha Zhu simply spread his hands in response.

"I don't know."

"Anyway, the school holidays are never scheduled!"

"It doesn't matter anymore."

"Anyway, I get paid monthly, so if I get a holiday early, I can rest more!"

At this moment, Sha Zhu said to Li Feng with an indifferent expression.

At this moment, He Yushui, who was next to Shazhu, also nodded to Li Feng and said.

"Brother Feng, wouldn't it be better to get some rest earlier?"

"I'm really looking forward to the holiday!"

"If the holiday starts early, I can sleep in a little longer!"

Li Feng simply smiled at this, then bid farewell to the two siblings.

"All right!".

"It's getting late."

"I'm going home. I have to go to school tomorrow."

At this moment, both Sha Zhu and He Yushui nodded to Li Feng.

After Li Feng pushed his bicycle back into the house, Sha Zhu quickly went to cook something delicious for He Yushui.

Sha Zhu had eaten at the factory, but He Yushui hadn't eaten dinner.

So at this time, Sha Zhu had to cook dinner for his sister.

The aroma of Sha Zhu's cooking quickly wafted to several households in the courtyard. This time, Sha Zhu had bought a lot of good food from the vendor who supplied the factory canteen.

And this dish is cheap too.

As for why the dish is so cheap, it's because Sha Zhu still holds a certain status in the cafeteria.

So the vegetable vendors all gave Sha Zhu a lot of face.

The vegetables given to Sha Zhu were quite cheap; they were almost always sold or given away for free.

If it's meat, then it's a real, substantial amount.

Sha Zhu rarely uses hostages these days.

Do factory cooks need meat coupons? They can just stir-fry it a couple of times and it'll taste better than anything else.
Anyway, Sha Zhu hardly ever used meat coupons when he was in the cafeteria, but he did use a little when he cooked for He Yushui at home.

But this is also normal.

People who live near mountains live off the mountains, and people who live near water live off the water.

It's the same everywhere.

Sha Zhu has now mastered this skill, and as for Xu Damao, he has eaten his fill.

No matter where he shows a movie, he always expects others to treat him to food and drinks, and he even takes some money with him.

However, this also illustrates that the importance of technology has become increasingly apparent.

Sha Zhu is able to live like this because he's a good cook, while Xu Damao is good at showing movies. If they were just ordinary workers, they certainly wouldn't be living such a comfortable life.

So no matter what, if you want to live well in this era, you definitely need to have skills.

of course!

This specifically refers to ordinary people; it doesn't apply to second-generation rich kids.

Anyway, no matter what, they are definitely living much better than ordinary people, given their connections.

Li Feng's current status is definitely higher than that of the people in the courtyard.

Li Feng is currently the only cadre in the courtyard, and he is a section-level cadre. Even Xu Damao only enjoys cadre benefits; as for his status, Xu Damao is still a worker.

At this moment, everyone in the courtyard smelled the aroma of food being cooked by Sha Zhu's family. Many people were eating at this time.

Apart from the two older men who ate at the canteen, everyone else still had to eat at home.

At Uncle Erda's house, when he comes home, he still eats some peanuts to go with his drinks.

Although everyone was struggling at that time, Uncle Er would still buy things like drinks and food regularly.

That's just his taste.

Right now, it means his youngest son hasn't eaten.

Liu Haizhong's second son has already found a job, so he can also make a living at the steel rolling mill.

As for the Jia family, apart from Qin Huairu, none of them had eaten.

At this time, Qin Huairu had also been home for a short while.

Her children are all waiting for Qin Huairu to cook, and Jia Zhangshi has not been released yet.

So Qin Huairu could only cook for herself after get off work.

At this time, Qin Huairu was still making cornmeal as always.

At this moment, Bang Geng, who was standing next to Qin Huairu, smelled the meat dishes that Sha Zhu's family was cooking. He took a deep sniff, and then a look of intoxication appeared on his face.

At this moment, Bang Geng leaned over the window and looked towards Sha Zhu's house.

At this moment, he saw wisps of white smoke rising from the kitchen of Sha Zhu's house, and the smoke even smelled of meat.

His saliva started flowing out without him even realizing it.

At this moment, Banggeng sucked on his saliva, then ran to his mother's side, hugged Qin Huairu's leg, and then begged Qin Huairu.

"Mother!".

"Shazhu's family is cooking meat dishes."

"I really want to eat it."

"Mom, can you cook meat for me too?"

After saying that, Bang Geng swayed his body.

Qin Huairu, who was making cornmeal at the time, frowned upon hearing her son's words.

Qin Huairu had already smelled the aroma of the food that Sha Zhu's family was cooking.

good smell!

The aroma of the meat was also intoxicating to Qin Huairu.

However, at this moment, she was too embarrassed to ask Sha Zhu for meat or anything like that.

During those few days, Qin Huairu had asked Sha Zhu for leftover food from the cafeteria, but Sha Zhu hadn't agreed.

Although Qin Huairu really wanted the leftovers, she couldn't force Sha Zhu to have them.

After all, Sha Zhu still holds some status in the cafeteria, and most importantly...

This matter can only be pursued secretly.

If you openly ask for it, it will have a very negative impact on you.

Moreover, this can be considered stealing public property.

No matter who it is, they can't withstand this charge.

Some things are fine if done in private and not discovered.

But if it's made public, the outcome won't be good.

When Qin Huairu thought of this, she squatted down and comforted her son, Banggeng.

"Bang Geng, our family can't afford meat right now."

"When Mom has money in the future, Mom will buy you meat to eat! Okay?"

At this moment, Qin Huairu wanted to give up on this idea.

Bang Geng shook his head at Qin Huairu and said.

"Can we go to Sha Zhu's house to eat meat?"

"Silly Zhu, they'll give it to us, right?"

At this point, Bang Geng had already forgotten how he was beaten up last time.

Right now, he was only focused on eating. (End of Chapter)
