It can be said that Shan Xiaolin's family's Zhouzhu Banquet was very successful.

Especially since today is a day off, after finishing the meal, the truck drivers got together and started bragging.

The wind kept blowing until it was dark, and it was not until dusk that Li Weidong and Silly Zhu rode their bicycles towards the courtyard.

Silly Zhu is riding a donkey that rides backwards today, and there are things in the carriage that need to be taken back to the courtyard first, and then returned to the canteen of the steel rolling mill when he goes to work tomorrow.

At this time, the fire clouds in the sky were burning beautifully, and everyone's face was bright red against the backdrop.

Silly Zhu rode the donkey upside down and kept laughing.

This laughter is a bit creepy.

Li Weidong pedaled, slowed down, and asked with a smile: "Silly Zhu, what are you enjoying!"

"Five yuan, brother Weidong, that Shan Xiaolin is so generous, he actually gave me five yuan as labor remuneration."

"Five dollars, that's really a lot."

Li Weidong nodded. Wages in this era were generally relatively low. Even for a chef like Sha Zhu, he only paid two yuan for a full day's work.

The two of them were riding, and Shazhu suddenly thought of something. He suddenly squeezed the brake of the car and stopped riding the donkey backwards.

He called out to Li Weidong: "Brother Weidong, wait."

"What's wrong?" Li Weidong turned around.

Silly Zhu took out a handful of change from his pocket, took out 2 yuan and handed it over: "Brother Wei Dong, take it."

Looking at the two crumpled banknotes, Li Weidong felt a little confused and raised his head to look at Shazhu.

"Shazhu, what's going on with you?"

"Oh, you deserve this." Silly Zhu waved the banknotes loudly. Seeing that Li Weidong still didn't accept the money, he could only explain with a smile.

"According to the old rules, those of us cooks who make extra money have to give a commission to each referral, usually two yuan and fifty cents. Shan Xiaolin will be so generous this time, it must be for your sake, so naturally I

I need to pump you a little more."

"Hurry up and take it, it's an old rule."

Silly Zhu knew that Li Weidong was not the type to take advantage. Under normal circumstances, he would never accept this money.

It can only be done in the name of old rules. No matter what era you are in, old rules always have a strong binding force on people. Anyone who does not abide by the rules will not be able to play in this circle.

Good guy, I didn’t expect that Silly Zhu has become cunning now.

Li Weidong thought for a moment, took out one dollar from the two dollars and collected it.

"You did a great job today, and you deserve it."

Seeing this situation, Silly Zhu said nothing more. When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, he suddenly stopped again.

"Brother Wei Dong, you go home first, I have to go in and buy some White Rabbit toffee for Meimei."

If we want to say who is the happiest child in the courtyard, it must be He Meimei.

Other children could only eat white flour steamed buns to celebrate the New Year, but Silly Zhu tried his best to find milk powder.

Moreover, I buy snacks like White Rabbit toffee for He Meimei every now and then.

Han Zhizhi felt that Sha Zhu was too doting on his children. He had reprimanded Sha Zhu several times, but Sha Zhu always agreed in person. After a few days, he made his old habit again.

There is no way, He Meimei is his lifeblood now.

"Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying goodbye to his super daddy, Li Weidong returned to the courtyard on his bicycle.

As soon as he entered the front yard, he saw Chen Yuanyuan standing under the eaves and scolding Yan Jiecheng.

"Yan Jiecheng, if you ask me to say anything good about you, other men will find ways to lure you home."

"How about you! After working in the steel rolling mill for so many years, you are still just a first-level fitter. You only get more than 20 yuan a month, not even as good as Qin Huairu."

"It doesn't matter if you can't make money, the key is that your family members are also stingy."

"We agreed before we got married that your money would be given to me as pocket money, but now!"

When Yan Jiecheng saw Li Weidong coming over, a trace of shame appeared on his face, and he reached out to pull Chen Yuanyuan's arm.

"Yuanyuan, stop making noise, it's not good for the neighbors to see you."

Chen Yuanyuan also noticed Li Weidong at this time, gave him an ambiguous look, then turned her head to look at Yan Jiecheng, and said with a cold face.

"Jie Cheng, don't think that I, Chen Yuanyuan, am easy to fool. If you don't get the money from your father, you won't be able to sleep tonight!"

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's hurried explanation, Li Weidong roughly understood what happened.

When Chen Yuanyuan and Yan Jiecheng first got married, Yan Jiecheng agreed to give all his salary to Chen Yuanyuan after they got married.

but.

Who is Yan Bugui? How can he tolerate the two of them living and eating in the Yan family for free?

At the beginning, because I was afraid that Chen Yuanyuan and Yan Jiecheng would divorce, I tolerated Chen Yuanyuan.

Now that Chen Yuanyuan and Yan Jiecheng had been married for more than a month, Yan Bugui was no longer afraid, so he tried every means to take away half of Yan Jiecheng's money.

Today was pay day, and Yan Jiecheng didn't pay enough, so Chen Yuanyuan took the opportunity to make trouble.

People these days are concerned with saving face. If there are conflicts within the family, they are usually resolved internally. Even if there is a quarrel, the door will be closed to prevent outsiders from hearing it.

Public quarrels rarely happen, so a group of people gathered around him soon.

Everyone pointed at Yan Jiecheng.

"Look, a grown man has been trained like this, like a bear. Yan Jiecheng is really embarrassed."

"Who says it's not the case! I've heard that Yan Jiecheng has to wash Chen Yuanyuan's feet every night."

"Ward, God, Yan Jiecheng is really not a man when he washes a woman's feet."

"Look at Yu Li, the chief clerk of the street office and the second uncle of the courtyard, and she still serves Li Weidong comfortably every day."

"That's what you call a good woman."

"Yan Jiecheng was really obsessed with things back then and didn't know how to cherish them."

During the discussion, Yan Jiecheng's face turned from white to green, and finally to red, just like a traffic light.

His teeth were gritting loudly, his hands were clenched tightly, and he reached out and wanted to slap Chen Yuanyuan on the face.

but.

Chen Yuanyuan's cold look made him tremble with fright, and he froze in place without daring to say a word.

Chen Yuanyuan didn't seem to feel that being surrounded by people was a shameful thing at all, but instead felt that it was very honorable.

She crossed her arms and looked at Yan Jiecheng coldly: "Yan Jiecheng, if you don't want to live with me, just say so."

"Daughter-in-law, I, how could I do that!" Yan Jiecheng explained quickly: "Our family's expenses have already exceeded our expenses this month. As you know, dad bought you eggs and meat, and his little salary is not enough.

If it’s not enough, I will divide half of my salary and hand it over.”

"Your father's salary is not enough, doesn't your family still have savings? Without your little money, we can't survive!" Chen Yuanyuan's eyes widened, as if she wanted to eat someone.

Yan Jiecheng fell silent.

The Yan family follows a policy of living within their means.

No matter how much money the Yan family earns every month, they will save part of the money, and then the remaining money can be spent.

If he uses his savings, it will cost Yan Bugui his life.

When Chen Yuanyuan saw that Yan Jiecheng remained silent, she became even more angry. She pointed at Yan Jiecheng's nose and cursed: "I see, you are just a soft noodle, you are of no use at all."

"If I marry you, I will be unlucky for eight lifetimes."

Chen Yuanyuan's curse words were unpleasant to hear, and the onlookers had covered their children's ears. Yan Bugui and the third aunt inside the house had actually heard the two of them arguing outside, but they never came out because they felt embarrassed.

Seeing that Chen Yuanyuan was going too far now, Yan Bugui stood up with a cold face. The third aunt was afraid that he would quarrel with Chen Yuanyuan, so she quickly grabbed his arm and said: "Old man, you have to calm down your temper later. You must not

If you quarrel with Chen Yuanyuan, the neighbors will laugh at you."

"Okay, okay, I get it!"

Yan Bugui waved his hand, opened the door and walked out.

Facing the aggressive Chen Yuanyuan, he coughed twice and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law, as the saying goes, everything goes well when the family is in harmony."

"In this family, every member is like a chopstick. A single chopstick is easy to break. Only by clumping into a group and uniting together can we exert our greatest fighting power, and our family can live a good life."

"Fighting and getting angry can be very harmful to your health. You are still young and may not be able to understand this."

"A kind word brings warmth in spring, but a bad word adds frost in six months."

I have to say that Yan Bugui is quite capable and everything he says makes sense. If ordinary people heard this, they might have realized their mistakes and changed their ways since then.

But can Chen Yuanyuan be an ordinary person?

As soon as Yan Bugui finished speaking, she pinched her waist with both hands and said with wide eyes: "Good advice, your grandma has nothing to do with you. If I don't talk about this with a cultured person like you, please take out Yan Jiecheng's money and give it to me right now."

If we don’t, we won’t be finished!”
