Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

After finishing his meal, he touched his round belly and said, "Master, where did Pei Guang learn cooking skills? How come he has become so good at cooking all of a sudden?"

Yi Zhonghai also had a satisfied look on his face, picking his teeth with a toothpick, "Let's just take care of ourselves. Dongxu, you should work hard and try to pass the third-level worker exam next month."

Jia Dongxu nodded seriously. The family's expenses have been a bit high recently, so it is imperative to upgrade his work level.

Today, the number of workers who came to get food continued to exceed the expectations of the waitress. This also resulted in many workers still not having food after all the dishes were sold out.

Some people yelled and cursed at the food window, then ran to other canteens in desperation.

The cafeteria staff looked at the empty plates and sighed. It seemed like they were destined to go home empty-handed today.

Everyone’s life is hard nowadays, and the occasional leftovers in the cafeteria are considered an invisible benefit for the employees. If all the food is sold out, it means that today’s expenses have increased.

Pei Guang had not considered this, and even if he knew, he would not care. If he wanted to attract the attention of the leader, this path was imperative.

The person currently in charge of the factory's special cooking is Chef Zhao from the canteen. He learned Shandong cuisine from a famous teacher in his early years and is deeply loved by the leaders.

The workplace is a competition, and this truth has been mentioned many times in lectures given by later experts.

In fact, he should thank them, otherwise, as a young man just starting out, he would have to suffer so many beatings before he could understand.

After lunch, Pei Guang arranged for several people to start cleaning up, as hygiene is the most important thing in catering work.

I took a good nap in the kitchen in the afternoon, sneaked out of the factory and found a few scrap yards, and finally collected all the parts of the bicycle.

After half an hour, a 50% new bicycle appeared in front of him.

"Tsk tsk! We are just that handsome!"

It is said that capable people have a mysterious self-confidence, it's so damn true!

I rode my bike leisurely to my uncle's house, and it was almost time to get off work.

There were a few "dong dong dong" sounds.

Qin Zhaodi opened the door and looked at the bicycle parked next to him, and immediately understood.

"Xiao Guang, is this the new bicycle you assembled?" Qin Zhaodi said excitedly.

"Aunt, don't think this car is old. After removing the rust, spraying paint and applying engine oil, it should be about 80% new again."

"Okay, okay! Sorry to trouble Xiaoguang!" Qin Zhaodi said as she groped up and down the car, looking like she couldn't let it go.

When Pei Xiangdong and his two siblings heard that their family finally had a car, they hurried out and circled around the bicycle.

The neighbors in the yard naturally saw it as well and came over to inquire about what was going on.

Pei Guang didn't explain too much and let his uncle handle the matter himself.

At this time, Pei Zhenrong finally returned home, and he immediately became excited when he saw this situation.

"Xiao Guang, did you assemble this car?"

Pei Guang nodded and took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket. "Uncle, this is the purchase certificate issued by the scrap yard. You can take these and go get the stamp."

He also had no intention of avoiding others and explained the origin of the car as soon as possible to avoid any trouble later.

Pei Zhenrong was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he could own a bicycle. His co-workers must be extremely envious of him.

The neighbors had almost understood what was going on at this point. They had not expected that the young man in front of them had such ability, and they all began to praise him.

Between the lines, he hinted at the idea of ​​asking Pei Guang to help assemble the car.

Pei Guang quickly gave him a few glances, fearing that he would agree.

Pei Zhenrong was no fool. He said a few perfunctory words and then pulled his nephew into the house.

"Xiao Guang, how much did this car cost? I'll get the money for you."

Pei Guang directly quoted 47 yuan. If he didn't take the money, it would take who knows how long the argument would take, and it would not change the result at all.

After borrowing the money, Pei Guang added: "Uncle, assembling too many bicycles can easily cause accidents. Those neighbors..."

"Hey! Uncle is not a fool. I won't make things difficult for you."

Pei Guang chuckled, "Okay then, I'll go back first. Liyun is still waiting for me at home for dinner."

He did not accept his uncle's repeated requests to stay, and ran straight to the courtyard after leaving the house.

After returning home, the hungry Pei Liyun looked at her brother with resentful eyes, as if she was looking at him as a heartless man.

"Ahem! Liyun, I went to deliver the bicycle to uncle. Next time if I come back late, you can get something to eat by yourself."

Pei Liyun's expression immediately turned from gloomy to bright, her eyes full of admiration.

Not long after dinner, Yan Jiecheng suddenly knocked on the door and said that he was bored and wanted to go home to play cards.

Pei Guang's eyes lit up. It was a bit boring at night except for reading, so this was a good opportunity to kill time.

Then Xu Damao and Sun Dahu were called over, as people of the same age had more common topics.

Pei Guang had no interest in the old-fashioned ways of playing of that era, so he proposed the idea of ​​playing double knocks.

Yan Jiecheng: "Brother Guang, what is double buckle?"

Xu Damao became interested. "Could it be a new way to play? Xiao Guang, tell me the rules first."

After Pei Guang briefly explained the rules of the game, several people found it very interesting and couldn't wait to try it out.

After two rounds of experiments, Pei Guang saw that everyone understood the rules, so he suggested adding some prizes.

"How about the loser doing ten push-ups each time?"

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

Chapter 23 Picking up from school

Xu Damao's face changed and he looked at him resentfully. He didn't know how long his frail body could hold on.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be shot, since Yan Jiecheng and Sun Dahu both agreed.

After playing a few rounds, the three of them won and lost, but Pei Guang kept losing and did 50 push-ups in a row.

Whoever teams up with him will be unlucky. The three of them looked at him strangely.

Logically speaking, he is no longer called Pei Guang, so why is his luck in gambling still as bad as before!

"Oh, right, I have a system. Gambling skills should also be considered a skill." Thinking of this, he checked the system prompts.

[Ding! You practiced your card skills, gambling proficiency +1]

技能：厨艺精通（13/1000）学识精通（542/1000） 健身精通（18/1000）维修熟练（88/100）驾驶熟练（18/100）赌术入门（1/10）

With the emergence of skills, he has a completely new understanding of card skills, which is completely different from before.

Then the look he gave the three of them became weird, and in order to make them stronger, he decided to carry forward the style of being a good person and doing good things.

After an hour, Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng were the first to give up, their hands trembling so much that they couldn't even hold the cards steadily.

Sun Dahu is better off. He works odd jobs outside all year round and his muscles are particularly eye-catching.

Yan Jiecheng had just graduated from school and his family did not have much nutritious food, so his physique was comparable to Xu Damao's.

"Hey! I remembered I have something to do tomorrow and I have to get up early, why don't I just stay here today." Xu Damao rolled his eyes and found an excuse to leave.

Yan Jiecheng: "I have something to do tomorrow, so I have to get up early and go to the village to exchange some food."

Pei Guang thought that he had gone too far this time. He would let them have a big sea next time, otherwise they wouldn’t even be able to find anyone to play cards with.

......

The next day, as soon as Sha Zhu arrived at the cafeteria, he was surrounded by several female cafeteria workers.

"Master He, how was the blind date yesterday?"

"I guess it won't be long before we can eat wedding candy."

Ever since they heard his blind date request last time, several people have been secretly laughing at him for overestimating his abilities. This is a good opportunity to watch him make a fool of himself.

Everyone had been observing him since he walked in. The result was obvious from the way he looked with his head hung low and his silence.

Sha Zhu sighed, "Don't mention it, she doesn't like me."

"Puchi!" An older female worker couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What do you mean? Are you and Sister Chen laughing at me?" Sha Zhu said dissatisfiedly.

Sister Chen: "No, no, I just thought of something funny."

As he spoke, his shoulders continued to shake and he looked extremely happy.

The others weren't so obvious, but the smiles in the corners of their eyes were obvious.

Sha Zhu kept a sullen face and ignored them. Until now he still couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Before the meeting, the matchmaker praised the girl to the skies, as if she was the best in the world.

After seeing the real person with his own eyes, he was extremely satisfied and wanted to get the marriage certificate immediately.

Sha Zhu was so immersed in the beauty that he didn't notice the disdain in the woman's eyes.

With rough, dark skin and a face that looks forty years old, he is not as mature as the matchmaker said.

Faced with the woman's dissatisfied look, the matchmaker was speechless.

It's not like she hasn't advised Sha Zhu before. Not only does he look old, but he only has an elementary school education. He should at least find someone of equal social status.

But the man was determined to find a good-looking and cultured wife, what could she do? If Sha Zhu hadn't promised her a huge profit to do this, she wouldn't have embellished her words, who knows who would be blind enough to fall in love with Sha Zhu.

Pei Guang had no intention of meddling in other people's affairs. He thought that one reaps what one sows, and everything that happened to Sha Zhu was his own fault.

While preparing lunch, Sha Zhu was attracted by the aroma of food wafting from Pei Guang's direction, and was deeply shocked.

Until this moment, he was very sure that Pei Guang had been hiding his abilities on purpose and that his cooking skills were unfathomable.

Thinking that the gap between the two of them was like a chasm, I felt unwilling and at the same time doubted the origin of his cooking skills.

......

As time went by, the weather became hotter and hotter.

Pei Guang estimated his sister's school time and slipped out of the factory an hour early.

When we arrived at the gate of Red Star Middle School, the bell for the end of get out of class rang on time.

A group of energetic students walked out of the campus in twos and threes, with bright smiles on their young faces.

Pei Guang looked a little dazed, as if his student life was just yesterday, and all the past events emerged in his mind one by one.

Unfortunately, time is gone forever. Looking back, I find that childhood is the happiest time in my life.

After waiting for about five minutes, Pei Liyun walked out of the campus while laughing and playing with a few girls.

"Liyun, here!"

Pei Liyun looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall young man leaning on a bicycle, looking at her with a smile on his face.

"Brother, why did you come to pick me up today?" Pei Liyun ran up and said with a look of surprise.

"Hey! The weather is getting hotter, so I plan to take you to make two new clothes."

Several female classmates were extremely envious after hearing this. Life was hard for everyone nowadays, so they would mend torn clothes and continue wearing them, or leave them to their younger sisters at home when they could no longer wear them.

As girls, they were not valued by their families, and new clothes were too much of a luxury for them.

He Yushui stared at the figure in a daze. She didn't know since when, her best friend who used to envy her so much became the object of her envy. Life was always full of drama.

"Really? Does our family have so many cloth coupons?" Pei Liyun looked incredulous.

You have to know that buying clothes requires not only money but also cloth coupons. Each person can receive 12 feet of cloth per year. An adult with a height of 1 meters needs 6 feet of cloth for a top and 4 feet for a pair of pants, not counting the width of the cloth.

Pei Guang smiled slightly, "Don't worry, it's no problem to make two pieces of clothing."

Pei Liyun was overjoyed. She said hello to her classmates and slowly walked away amid their envious gazes.

Passerby A: "Yushui, when did Liyun's family get a bicycle? I remember their family was not well off, right?"

"Yes, yes, their family probably can't afford it!"

He Yushui did not respond. She just stared blankly at the receding figure, not knowing what she was thinking.

Pei Liyun sat on the back of the bicycle, thinking back to the uncontrollable envy in her classmates' eyes just now. This feeling was quite good.

As her family conditions improved, the little girl became more and more confident and inexplicably believed that her future life would be better.
