Siheyuan: I am the God of Cooking, and all the birds are crying with envy!

After He Yuzhu left, Xu Xinyue finally remembered the money he had stuffed into her pocket.

When she spread out a thick stack of money, she looked like a country girl who had never seen money before.

She covered the money with the quilt, hurried to the door, made sure there was no one outside, and quickly closed the door.

Then she hid under the quilt and counted the money happily.

1 cent, 2 cents...

One yuan, two yuan...

Of course, there are also 10 yuan notes and 2 cent, 5 cents, and cents notes.

Because the amount was so huge and the amounts were not equal, it took a lot of time.

"Oh my god! 464 yuan."

A wild boar weighing nearly 600 kilograms can be sold for so much money on the black market.

"Wild boar meat is 8 cents per pound, and that's the gross weight."

In other words, even including pig lungs, liver, intestines, hearts and other pig offal, the price is 8 cents per pound.

"Hiss! Are the prices on the black market so outrageous?"

“Maybe only former landlords can afford it.”

Xu Xinyue then thought of his own family. Before his father passed away, his family was also a landlord family.

However, his father donated all his assets and savings to it.

Even the large yard was given away.

They came out of the courtyard empty-handed, because his father was usually a humble and upright person...

Therefore, although they suffered a disaster and were forced to sever ties with their closest relatives.

However, there are still kind people.

Their final destination was provided by an old man who had lost one leg.

It is said that the uncle's life was saved by his father.

When the uncle was crushed by a huge rock and his life was hanging by a thread, it was my father who saved his life.

Although he lost his leg, at least he saved his life.

From then on, the two families had contact.

During festivals, the uncle always gives gifts to his family, sometimes agricultural products, sometimes pork, etc.?

But more of it is agricultural products.

Therefore, when his family was in trouble, the uncle was the first to lend a helping hand to the orphans and widows.

Otherwise, they might have been gone... a long time ago.

Since his father passed away, my uncle took over the responsibility voluntarily.

Therefore, for two years, their life was not too hard.

But good people don’t live long, and the uncle died of illness.

The uncle’s departure marked the beginning of Xu Xinyue’s most difficult life.

Xu Xinyue stared blankly ahead, thinking back to the past, from childhood to adulthood, from having something to having nothing, from rich to poor.

Xu Xinyue felt that he had experienced all kinds of life before he was 20 years old.

A wild boar weighing less than 600 kilograms was sold for 464 yuan. You have to know that the average wage per person in that era was only 5 yuan per month.

The 464 yuan is equivalent to 10 years of harvest.

Anyone who can afford 464 yuan to buy a wild boar must not be short of money.

They are not short of money, but they are short of food and daily necessities.

Therefore, Xu Xinyue thought it was a good deal that He Yuzhu sold a wild boar for 464 yuan.

He Yuzhu risked his life to hunt a wild boar, and someone actually offered a high price to buy it. So why couldn't he sell it?

Not only was it sold, but it was also sold at a good price.

Xu Xinyue hid the money, and then there was a knock on the door.

With a creaking sound, the person who caught my eye was He Yushui.

He Yushui glanced around the room and confirmed that He Yuzhu was not there. Then she took his hand and said earnestly:

"Sister-in-law, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Xu Xinyue made way to let her in, "Yushui, just say whatever you want to say!"

He didn't care what He Yushui was like before, but the current He Yushui was diligent and efficient. He was not lazy or cunning, nor was he greedy.

A very nice girl.

Ever since He Yushui came, he felt like he hadn't held a kitchen knife for a long time.

She rushes to cook the meals at home, of course if He Yuzhu is eating at home, she won't rush to cook.

I haven't touched the dishes at home since he came.

He Yushui often does things like sweeping the floor and cleaning.

Just after sitting down, He Yushui saw dust on the table, so she picked up a rag and started to wipe it.

"Pfft!"

Xu Xinyue was so embarrassed that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She took the rag from her hand and said, "Alright! My room isn't really that dirty, is it?"

"Besides, it's my own room, I can clean it myself, don't be so upset when you see a little bit of dirt."

"It's good to be clean, but I think if you're too clean, you'll make yourself very tired."

He Yushui shook his head. "Sister-in-law, compared with the experience of the past two months, what is this little bit of work?"

Those two months were the darkest and most unbearable memories in his life.

Whenever she thought about what happened that day, she would get a splitting headache.

Xu Xinyue disagreed and gave her a disgusted look, "Didn't you say you wanted to tell me something?"

He Yushui slapped his forehead and said suddenly, "Sister-in-law, I was supposed to graduate from high school in a few months."

"But because I was confused, I didn't say anything to my nephew at school and then I skipped classes without permission."

"Because I missed classes for too long, the school expelled me. I can no longer continue my studies."

The more He Yushui spoke, the softer his voice became. If he hadn't been mentally ill and done such a thing, he should have followed the procedures and waited to graduate from high school.

Maybe I can get into a good university in the college entrance examination.

but……

I ruined such a good opportunity.

“Now that I can’t go back to study, my body is almost as good as it was before.”

"So, I have to go out to work. I can't let my brother support me anymore."

"If your brother knew, he would be very happy!"

"Xu Xinyue pressed the back of her hand and asked, 'Didn't I tell you to stay at home and recuperate for a while before going to help out in the kitchen of the steel factory?'"

"Your brother is now the canteen director. It shouldn't be a problem to arrange for you to go in."

"Sister-in-law, I don't dislike the job of helping in the kitchen. I just came back from outside and when I passed by the third uncle's room, I heard Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and the third aunt discussing something."

"What are they discussing? What does it have to do with you?"

Xu Xinyue did not hide anything and simply repeated what the mother and her two children said from beginning to end.

It turned out that Hongxing Primary School was going to recruit teachers after the Chinese New Year, and the third aunt wanted the second son, Liu Guangtian, to apply for the position.

It's a pity that Liu Guangtian has no knowledge at all except for stealing chickens and running dogs.

If we let him teach and educate, I'm afraid he will mislead the students.

No matter how the mountain aunt persuaded and tempted him, Liu Guangtian still insisted that he was not cut out for it.

The three aunts had no choice but to turn their eyes to Liu Guangfu.

Although Liu Guangfu looks silly, he is better than Liu Guangtian in learning to read.

"That's how it is."

"You want to be a teacher?" Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought up this matter specifically.

He Yushui nodded, "Although I don't have a high school diploma, I received a formal education."

"I want to be a teacher, to teach and educate people, and I want to make myself more valuable."

"I don't want to be a kitchen helper in the canteen for the rest of my life. Sister-in-law, please don't get me wrong. It's not that I dislike this job." He Yushui was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he hurried to explain.

"But that's not my ambition."
