Chapter 9 Daily life in the courtyard! (Please vote for recommendation!)
Wu Aiguo led Master Wang into the east wing and told Master Wang his decoration ideas. After the two finally determined the cost of the decoration, Wu Aiguo directly gave Master Wang ten yuan as a deposit.
After the father and son saw off Master Wang, they returned to the backyard together. At this time, Wu Aiguo's eldest brother and sister-in-law had all returned from get off work and were waiting for Wu Pingshan and Wu Aiguo to come back for dinner.
When Wu Aidang and his wife learned that the street office had allocated the east wing of the front yard to Wu Aiguo, they were both happy and extremely envious.
"Brother! I heard from our mother that the street office has allocated the east wing of the front yard to you. After you finish the house, can I move to your place?" Wu Aili, the eldest sister, learned that Wu Aiguo was allocated a room in the east wing of the front yard. He asked Wu Aiguo expectantly about the news about his room.
When Wu Aiguo heard what his eldest sister said, he smiled and replied: "Lily! Isn't the second brother's house your family? If you want to move here, the second brother will welcome you with both hands."
When Wu Aili heard Wu Aiguo's answer, she immediately cheered happily.
Xiao Yingying heard Wu Aili's cheers and said to Wu Aiguo in a sweet voice: "Uncle! Yingying wants to live with you too."
When Wu Aiguo heard his niece's request, he replied with a smile: "Okay! Okay! Okay! Then Xiao Yingying will live with her uncle."
Chen Shuying saw a happy smile on her face when she saw the interaction between Wu Aiguo, her sister and niece.
At the time, Wu Aiguo was just a street kid who only knew how to cause trouble. Chen Shuying and her husband were so troubled that they had to force Wu Aiguo to join the army.
Five years later, when Wu Aiguo returned from the army, he not only became a deputy section cadre, but the street also allocated him three rooms. This made Chen Shuying, a mother, extremely proud.
Thinking of the renovation of Wu Aiguo's house that would start tomorrow, Chen Shuying couldn't help but think of Jia Zhang's visit today to cause trouble.
Considering the peeing habits of the residents in the courtyard, Chen Shuying couldn't help but remind Wu Pingshan: "Pingshan! Including the three rooms of Patriot, our family has five rooms in this courtyard."
"Except for the Jia family, the other residents in our yard said nothing, but they will definitely feel uncomfortable in their hearts. Master Wang will bring people over to clean up the patriotic house tomorrow. If there is trouble in the Jia family, someone will definitely take the opportunity to find us. Unhappy.”
Yesterday, Wu Aiguo proposed to go to the street office to apply for the east wing of the front yard. Wu Pingshan had already realized that once Wu Aiguo successfully applied for the east wing, the residents in the courtyard would definitely target the Wu family.
Faced with his wife's reminder, Wu Pingshan pondered for a while and then said to his wife: "Shuying! Tomorrow you take the receipt and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some eggs and give them to the residents in the courtyard. Each household will share some eggs." Two.”
Wu Aiguo on the side heard the conversation between his parents and immediately remembered that when he entered the port cafeteria to get meat, he saw a lot of chicken skeletons used to make soup.
Although the meat on these chicken skeletons is pitiful, for people of this period, it is just enough oil and water, so he only needs to take out some chicken skeletons and add some radishes to make a large pot of soup. The residents in the courtyard distributed a large bowl of food from door to door, which was infinitely better than giving eggs.
With this thought in his mind, Wu Aiguo immediately said: "Dad! Mom! No need to buy eggs!"
"After I reported to the unit today, I met a comrade of mine who works at a slaughterhouse. The slaughterhouse has a batch of chicken skeletons with meat removed, which are specially used as welfare for the employees of the slaughterhouse. My comrade bought a lot of them. "Go home." "My comrade told me that the chicken carcass only cost 10 cents per pound and did not require a ticket. He asked me if I wanted it. I thought I had already bought the pork belly, so I didn't ask him for the chicken carcass. .”
"After dinner later, I will go to my comrade's house and bring back some chicken skeletons from him. Then I will ask Silly Zhu to help me use the chicken skeletons and radishes to make a big pot of soup for the residents in the yard. , all served in a big bowl.”
"Although there is very little meat on the chicken skeleton, it is still oily and watery after being boiled into soup. I believe that this chicken skeleton carrot soup will definitely be more popular than eggs."
When Chen Shuying heard Wu Aiguo's words, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she quickly asked Wu Aiguo: "Aiguo! When you go to find your comrades in the evening, ask him if you can buy more chicken skeletons."
"Shuying! Patriotic comrades will give chicken skeletons to patriots. It is for the years of comradeship. We can't be too greedy." When Wu Pingshan heard his wife's request for his second son, he quickly reminded his wife.
Wu Aiguo heard his father's words and replied with a smile: "Dad! Chicken skeleton is a rare thing for us, but for my comrade, it is an extremely ordinary thing. In addition, The weather is hot and chicken skeletons are not easy to preserve. I asked my comrades to share more, and there was no big problem at all.”
"Grandma! Is dinner ready? Yingying's little belly is feeling hungry." Just as Wu Aiguo finished speaking, little Yingying on the side suddenly asked Chen Shuying.
When Chen Shuying heard her granddaughter's words, she said to Xiao Yingying kindly: "Baby! Your uncle bought meat today, and we will eat meat tonight."
Wu Aili and Wu Aifang on the side heard their mother's words and learned that there would be meat to eat in the evening. Their faces immediately showed excited expressions.
"Mom! Are you telling the truth? Do we really have meat to eat at home tonight?" Wu Aifang was so excited that she almost drooled at the thought of eating meat, and quickly confirmed the news to Chen Shuying.
"Mom! Let me help you divide the chopsticks!" Wu Aili's mouth watered at the thought of eating meat, and she quickly shouted to help her mother divide the chopsticks.
Chen Shuying heard her youngest daughter's inquiry and replied with a smile: "Fangfang! Your second brother not only bought pork belly but also a chicken today. I will give you a good meal tonight."
Thinking of cooking chicken skeleton and carrot soup tomorrow, Wu Aiguo came to the door of Shazhu's house in the Zhongyuan after dinner and shouted politely: "Brother Zhuzhu! Are you at home?"
"Who?"
Silly Zhu heard Wu Aiguo's cry, opened the curtain and walked out of the house. When he saw Wu Aiguo standing at the door, he asked with surprise: "It's Aiguo! When did you come back?" ? What do you want from me? ”
Wu Aiguo heard Sha Zhu's inquiry and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu Zhu! I just came back yesterday and was organized to work in the Purchasing Department of Chaoyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative."
"The subdistrict office assigned me the east wing of the front yard. I asked Master Liu from the yard next door to help repair it. Considering that it would cause inconvenience to the residents in the yard during the repairs, I just asked my comrades from the slaughterhouse to help I got more than ten kilograms of chicken carcasses, and I would like to ask you to help me cook a pot of chicken carcasses stewed with radish, and give a big bowl to every household in the courtyard.”
