Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Siheyuan.

forecourt.

Several aunts were setting up a dragon gate formation together. The second aunt and the third aunt were all there.

"Hey, do you know? That guy He Yudong just passed the level 4 benchwork exam and will take the level 6 benchwork exam next month!"

The third aunt looked gossipy and was eating melon seeds.

"Really? This is amazing."

"Hey, do you think he can pass?"

"Whether he can pass it or not, a twenty-three-year-old level four fitter is already very good!"

"Yes, my boy works as a fitter in the fourth workshop of the steel rolling mill. It took him two years to pass the level 3 fitter exam!"

"I heard from our old man that the requirements for each level of the fitter assessment are very strict, and the requirements are extremely high!"

"Your boy is not bad. Like that guy in the middle courtyard, he has been a level two fitter for three years and has not been called upon!"

The aunts laughed knowingly.

"Taking it all together, He Yudong is quite promising."

"Hey, who said no?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang was lying at home to gain weight for the winter, but she couldn't hold it in anymore. She went to the public toilet outside and came back, and joined the chatting team.

When other aunts talked about the bet between Jia Dongxu and He Yudong, she looked gloating.

"My Dongxu is still honing his skills as a Level 2 fitter. He passed the Level 4 fitter exam just after he got out of the secretary position. He is already lucky. Do you want to skip the Level 6 fitter exam?"

"Hey, I'm just waiting to eat the meal he invited!"

Not only did Jia Zhang not believe it, she even used her own son as an example.

She didn't know what kind of material Jia Dongxu was, and saying it now was like making her joke come to light again.

"Aunt Zhang, let me see, Erdong is much better than your Dongzi! Dongzi can't do it, but Erdong may not be able to do it, right?"

When an aunt laughed, she almost said that Jia Dongxu was a waste.

"Bah! A stingy little brat who has no father and no mother, is he worthy of being compared with my Xudong?" Jia Zhang spat, "You are talking nonsense! If you say one more thing, I will tear your mouth apart!"

None of the aunties took her words seriously, and they all laughed.

"Hey? Erdong is back?" A sharp-eyed aunt saw He Yudong coming back carrying something, and her eyes lit up.

He Yudong walked in carrying a chicken.

Jia Zhang's eyes almost glowed green when she looked at the things in He Yudong's hands.

Several other aunts were also full of envy.

After all, in this era, material standards are not sufficient.

It is very enviable to be able to eat meat every now and then and leave it in the courtyard.

"Er Dong, are you eating chicken today?"

An aunt couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, aren't wages paid today? I'm looking for something good to eat."

"I heard that you made a bet with Dongzi?"

The aunt who asked the question glanced at Jia Zhang and then at He Yudong, her eyes full of teasing.

There is nothing fun these days, and everyone's spiritual life is extremely lacking. Chatting together is a great way to relax even after a tiring day.

He Yudong didn't expect that the bet between him and Jia Dongxu would spread so quickly, and all the aunts in the compound would know about it.

However, since he dares to do this, he is not afraid to say it.

Since the aunt has asked here, he will tell the truth.

"Yes, I made a bet with Jia Dongxu."

"During the assessment next month, I will take the Level 6 fitter exam, and he will also take the Level 3 fitter exam."

"If I fail and he passes, I'll treat him to wine and dinner and apologize to him."

"If I pass and he fails, he will have to call me dad three times in front of his colleagues in the workshop!"

The aunts were in an uproar.

Jia Zhang's face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile.

"Oh, how can you be so embarrassed...Then I'll wait for you to treat our Xudong to dinner. Hehe, hehehehe..."

With that said, he stood up, patted his butt, and waddled home.

"Does she really think her son is amazing?"

Several aunts looked at each other, not knowing who started it, and snickered "Puch" one after another.

He Yudong smiled politely at the aunts and went straight home.

Passing by the front yard, I happened to meet the third uncle Yan Bugui.

"Erdong, are you back?"

"Well, hello, third uncle."

Seeing the white-striped chicken in He Yudong's hand, he rolled his eyes and began to make plans in his mind.

Yan Bugui has been scheming all his life, and he is better than a monkey when it comes to sticking hair on his head.

During the Chinese New Year, when the family ate peanuts, he would hold a big iron spoon and divide them one by one.

When listening to the radio, turn down the volume to the minimum and put it to your ears to listen.

His son asked him to turn up the sound louder. He thought it would cost more electricity to turn it up louder, so he asked his son to pay for the electricity.

Speaking of which, Yan Bugui is a primary school teacher and his monthly salary is more than 40 yuan.

The third wife doesn't work, so he supports the family alone, with three sons and a girl. Until he can work, the whole family relies on the money in their early forties.

Raising a family is not easy.

But it’s not easy for you, and you shouldn’t calculate other people’s things.

His eldest son Yan Jiecheng is also married to a girl named Yu Li.

This girl is covered in snow-white flesh and her body is beautiful and smooth.

However, they are really not a family. If they don’t enter the same family, Yu Li is also a master of calculation.

This family has this kind of virtue, and they will go to the side of whoever gives them benefits.

"Er Dong, come to my house tonight and let us have a family together?"

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, chatted with He Yudong with a smile, but he was actually staring at his chicken.

He Yudong smiled: "Third uncle, I bought this chicken to replenish my health. I will take the Level 6 fitter exam next month, and I have to study at night. If you want to drink, go to Shazhu."

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses angrily.

Do you think he hasn't thought about it? But Shazhu is just a fool!

Bah, bad luck.

He Yudong returned home, rested for a while, and started making dinner.

He planned to use the chicken to make soup. The chicken soup is used to make chicken noodle soup, and the chicken soup is used to make shredded chicken. I will bring it to the factory tomorrow, and then go to the canteen to buy two steamed buns, and it will be a high-end lunch.

It's just that the house is too quiet, and apart from a limited collection of basic books, there are no entertainment equipment.

Three turns and one ring are all big items, let alone a television.

If you have the opportunity in the future, you can get some materials and make a semiconductor radio by yourself, which is practical and unobtrusive.

These days, if your life is good, others will envy you; if your life is bad, others will look down upon you.

Living a comfortable life within a balanced range requires some effort.

The chickens He Yudong bought were old hens that no longer laid eggs.

This kind of chicken soup is so delicious.

There is a thick layer of golden chicken fat under the chicken skin.

First, scoop out the chicken fat, cut the whole chicken into pieces, and blanch it to remove the fishy smell.

Fry the chicken oil, add spices and sauté until fragrant, pour in the chicken pieces, and stir-fry quickly to release the aroma.

Then add water, add ginger slices, cinnamon bark and bay leaves, and simmer over low heat.

The aroma of chicken echoed throughout the courtyard.

These days, everyone is short of words.

For example, before He Yudong traveled through time, someone would skim off the chicken fat when making chicken soup.

Unlike now, this chicken fat is very popular.

The more chicken fat, the more fragrant the chicken soup will be.

I really didn’t expect that He Yudong and He Yuzhu would live better and better after they separated!

The scent spreads all the way to the front yard.

The third uncle Yanbu Gui's family also smelled it.
