Time passed and two months passed in the blink of an eye.
The National Day is about to enter, and the entire Sijiu City is full of festive atmosphere. In response to the street office, the courtyard houses have begun cleaning, repairing, and giving new looks.
Yang Xiaotao sat in the courtyard, enjoying the good weather and reading a book.
The cool breeze blows and the autumn air is refreshing.
Xiaowei is still busy in the vegetable garden. She can't be seen even at night, but Yang Xiaotao can clearly feel her whereabouts.
As for the results of his studies in the past two months, apart from being used to exchange for items, most of them were saved by Yang Xiaotao.
Now, we are only 5 points away from 2000 points.
Putting the books in his hands aside, Yang Xiaotao stood up and stretched his back.
I casually did the radio gymnastics that would later be used, and my body moved freely, which made me feel much more relaxed.
Now, after receiving energy feedback, Yang Xiaotao's body is stronger than a normal adult's.
Of course, the stronger you are, the more you eat.
If it weren't for the support of the system, and if one person had enough to eat and the whole family wasn't hungry, one month's salary would simply not be able to support such consumption.
That's it, Yang Xiaotao's meal is as good as the Jia family's, and this is still a situation where there is oil and water.
Therefore, it makes sense that the ancients said that the poor were poor in culture and rich in military affairs.
As for strength, since taking Dali Pill, Yang Xiaotao's strength has been increasing day by day, which is really a breakthrough of human limits.
The last time was after the Qingming Festival, a man bent a steel bar in a corner of the workshop with all his strength.
As for what level he is at now, he has never tried it, but he has never felt tired when doing physical work.
This moment made him wonder if he was traveling through a fantasy world.
In other words, will there be other super beings in this world?
But Yang Xiaotao also knows that in this era, great power does not mean invincibility.
With his current body and a peanut, he was still reincarnated.
After taking two steps in the yard, I saw Mrs. Jia Zhang coming back from outside dragging a broom.
Looking at the slovenly Jia Zhang, Yang Xiaotao laughed brightly, pulled out a green radish from the vegetable garden, peeled it off, and ate it.
Mrs. Jia Zhang walked to the door and became very angry when she saw Yang Xiaotao's appearance.
But she was so tired that she didn't have the energy to make any more noise. She cursed a few times, threw the broomstick aside, and walked into the house.
Then, there was another burst of yelling and cursing from Jia's house, and then he saw Qin Huairu going out to get firewood with a big belly.
"Oh, it's your own fault."
During the big battle two months ago, Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu were taken to the police station. They went there in the morning and came back in the afternoon.
However, the result of the treatment is very satisfying.
Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu each compensated Xu Damao 20 yuan, which was regarded as medical expenses and compensation.
At the same time, Shazhu and Jia Dongxu cleaned the street toilets for one month, and Jia Zhang was responsible for sweeping the streets for two months. It can be said to be a double transformation of the mind and body.
Jia Dongxu and Shazhu are done, now only Jia Zhang is left.
As for Xu Damao, he had to lie at home for half a month with a broken arm, and his arm was not as healed as before. He was considered the worst.
Ignoring Qin Huairu's pitiful look, Yang Xiaotao became more and more indifferent to her, as if he was a different person.
Qin Huairu naturally saw Yang Xiaotao and felt conflicted.
Although she knew that the baby in her belly was named Jia and not Yang, there was always a thought in her heart that she hoped that Yang Xiaotao would be as obedient and respectful to her as he was when they first met.
Now, her life has not improved at all.
An incompetent man, apart from showing off his authority at home, is dead when it comes to making money.
There is also an unreasonable mother-in-law. She originally thought she had found a good family, but she fell into a pit without checking.
Last time, her status in the family was reduced by half due to the rural household registration matter. Now after what happened last time, the gossip in the yard made her mother-in-law look at her like a thief.
The most disgusting thing is Jia Dongxu. He clearly knows that he is Qingbai, but he does not stand up to speak for him. It is simply his conscience that feeds the dog.
Today, she is living in dire straits in the Jia family. The reason why she persists until now is for the sake of the child in her belly.
Women are naturally weak, but mothers are strong.
For her children, she would give everything.
Therefore, she is even more eager to hope that Yang Xiaotao can help her so that she can eat meat, fish, and delicious food.
In this way, both she and the child will be grateful to him.
It's a pity that Yang Xiaotao ignored her at all, or in other words, he didn't want to have anything to do with her at all.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao leave, Qin Huairu felt aggrieved.
Then he picked up the firewood and walked into the house.
"Sister Qin, I'm busy!"
Silhu's voice came from behind. Qin Huairu immediately closed her eyes. The previous grievance disappeared. She turned back to look at Silhu, holding a lunch box in her hand, and immediately stared at it.
"Zhuzi, are you busy out there?"
"Hehe, I didn't take a seat here. I just came back from finishing it."
Silly Zhu said happily, looking at Qin Huairu's round body, he swallowed.
"Zhuzhu, you are really good at this craftsmanship. I've heard about it. It's rare even in these four or nine cities."
"If you don't have all the troublemakers around here looking for you, you can bring back some food every time. I'd really envy you."
Qin Huairu said and looked at the lunch box in Shazhu's hand.
Silly Zhu pretended not to see it, and just smiled happily, "That's right, with our skills, we won't starve to death in a lean year."
"You're busy, I'll go home and cook for Yu Yu."
Silly Zhu looked at the door curtain of Jia's house being opened, said something quickly and went home.
"Qin Huairu, why are you standing there, hurry up and cook."
The sound of Jia Dongxu's duck throat sounded. Qin Huairu lowered his head and went home, swallowing the saliva in his mouth with difficulty.
On the other side, Yang Xiaotao returned to the house and started working on dinner.
First, I took out six chicken wings from the space, and a Coke bottle that had been unpacked. Although I am not a good cook, I have learned some tricks after spending so many days.
A dish of Coke chicken wings, add a piece of bacon, ham, and half a roast chicken. This is the main dish tonight.
As for fruits, not to mention the items for exchange, there are also a lot of tomatoes.
The room was quickly enveloped by the aroma, and then spread in the middle courtyard, gradually covering the front and rear of the quadrangle.
Having experienced it a lot, people in the courtyard know where it comes from without even thinking about it.
The third uncle sighed as usual, scolding Yang Xiaotao for not being able to live a good life.
The third aunt helped and caressed her growing belly. Yan Jiecheng next to him was also envious.
In Jia's house, the three of them sat at the dinner table, looking at the pickled vegetables and cornstarch, and all put down their chopsticks.
Mrs. Jia and Zhang even cursed loudly, and the heartless Yang Xiaotao did not know how to help their family.
As for Jia Dongxu, he would like to use the money to eat something good, but he has a family to support, so he has to think about it later.
The elder looked at the Yang family in the middle courtyard and snorted coldly.
"If you don't keep it, you can live your life and suffer the consequences later."
The eldest mother also nodded. The old couple are now starting to save their pension money, so their life must be tight.
Silly Zhu, on the other hand, smelled the aroma in the air and showed off his true qualities as a cook, "It's strange, what does this smell like? The aroma is a bit sweet?"
Everyone in the hospital knew that Yang Xiaotao couldn't cook. Qin Huairu used to cook for him, but later he would go to restaurants or eat at Uncle Chen's house next door.
But recently, Shazhu always smells a special aroma. As for how good Yang Xiaotao's craftsmanship is, he can tell by just smelling it as a cook, but it's strange that a layman can smell the aroma every time.
"This guy must have found a good seasoning, otherwise it would be so fragrant?"
Silly Zhu's eyes were spinning wildly. Recently, his cooking skills had reached a bottleneck. If he wanted to make a breakthrough, he had to either work hard on his techniques or work on his seasonings.
But in this era, only cooks use condiments, and ordinary people can't afford oil, salt, sauce, or vinegar.
"Go take a look tomorrow. Maybe you can get something good!"
At Xu Damao's house, Lou Xiao'e looked at the food that had just come out of the pot. It was dark and burnt, and it was hard to swallow.
Xu Damao went to the countryside again. In the past two months, she went to the countryside more and more often. What's more important was that she didn't come back at night, so she could only eat at home alone.
But as a young lady, how could she know how to cook if she was used to being waited on?
He threw away the fried vegetables, took out a snack, ate some, and then looked towards the middle courtyard, lost in thought.
Yang Xiaotao has become accustomed to ignoring the thoughts of everyone in the courtyard over the past few months.
After eating, Yang Xiaotao continued to read.
After reading the last part, a familiar voice sounded in my mind, and I immediately became energetic.
"Ding, the host's current credits are 2005 points. Do you want to consume 2000 credits to upgrade the fitter level?"
Yang Xiaotao did not hesitate.
"yes!"
In an instant, the credits on the character attribute panel changed from 2005 to 5 points.
Then, the sound continued.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, the main skill Fitter level has reached level three."
"Ding, congratulations to the host, the reward is 100 yuan. The storage space is increased by 20 cubic meters, and the current storage space is 130 cubic meters."
"Ding, congratulations to the host, the main skill has reached level three, the exchange bar has been improved, and the current exchange bar is 4 spaces."
"Ding, congratulations to the host. The main skill has reached level three and the sub-skill cooking skill has been obtained."
There was a clanging sound, and Yang Xiaotao sat on the bed, smiling from ear to ear.
First it was one hundred yuan, but now his net worth has risen to five hundred. Being able to save so much money in this era is much better than ordinary people.
It is estimated that there are not many people in the entire courtyard with this kind of wealth.
Of course, money is secondary.
An increase in the redemption column means more materials for you to redeem. Whether you have credits is one thing, but whether you have items is another matter.
As for the promotion to the second level, he was given many things, and this time, he was also given a sub-skill, which was cooking skills.
Even though it has fewer exchange slots and fishing skills than the Dali Pills given at level 2, those are cooking skills.
This is really a craft. In this era, the value is not lower than what was given at level 2.
Besides, there will be rewards every time you upgrade your fishing skills, or every month, and you will definitely get rewards if your cooking skills improve.
In the future, income will also increase, and the standard of living will naturally improve.
"In the future, men will be able to prepare a table full of delicious food and make the beasts in the courtyard angry to death."
Yang Xiaotao smiled cheerfully. Thinking of the wasted ingredients in the past, Yang Xiaotao felt a little embarrassed. He felt sorry for the people in this era who did not have enough to eat.
"From now on, we must live a simple life and never waste what we can eat."
Yang Xiaotao secretly promised in his heart.
He completely forgets how much he eats, which is incomparable to ordinary people.
Immediately, I lay on the bed, compacted the mosquito net, and began to receive a huge experience of fitter work.
For a moment, my forehead felt a little swollen and painful, but fortunately I was in excellent physical condition and managed to get over it in a short while.
By the time Yang Xiaotao woke up, he had gained new fitter experience in his mind.
As in the past, with the level 3 benchwork experience gained, even level 4 workpieces can be produced in today's steel rolling mills.
After combining these experiences with actual work, the success rate of level three workpieces is guaranteed, and the success rate of level four workpieces is no problem.
Yang Xiaotao closed his eyes and fell asleep, while discussions about Yang Xiaotao continued in the yard.
This has become the most discussed topic in the courtyard. Some people are envious, some regret it, and some are just waiting to see the good show.
