Chapter 50 Jealousy
The day before leaving, each person at Dazhou Iron and Steel Plant packed 100 kilograms of peach blossom rice, 50 kilograms of day lily, and a pair of geese.

The five people were put on the return train, this time in a sleeper car with two people in a room.

We got off the train at Sijiucheng and asked two experienced masters to look after our belongings. The three newcomers made two trips before they could move the belongings out of the station.

After saying goodbye to each other, Yu Zhiyuan rented a tricycle and headed for the courtyard.

Fortunately, it was only three o'clock and the people in the hospital had not yet left work.

When we arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, there was no one at the gate.

Yu Zhiyuan and the cyclist master both carried the rice and each carried a goose and went home.

Push open the door, put the rice away, and throw the two geese with their legs tied first.

When Yu Zhiyuan came into the yard carrying two luggage bags and the cyclist carrying two bags of day lilies, the three aunts came out.

"Zhiyuan is back!"

"Third Auntie, I'm busy. I'll talk to you later."

When Yu Zhiyuan came out to move two boxes of wine, a group of middle-aged women started giving him instructions.

"That pork leg must be ten pounds, right?"

"Then the sausages must weigh eight or nine kilograms, right?"

Yu Zhiyuan paid the bill for his master, picked two tomatoes and two cucumbers for him, and told him to leave the hospital on his own, and he would not see him off.

After putting the two roll-top toilets in the living room, Yu Zhiyuan went to the bathroom to rinse.

I left home in early May and came back in June.

After taking a shower, Yu Zhiyuan put on his shorts, a sweat shirt, and old Sijiucheng cloth shoes, picked up a large palm-leaf fan, and went out. He saw two big geese. What should he do?
Don’t think about it anymore, just throw it there.

Let’s go check on the old lady next door first.

"Old lady, I'm listening to an opera!"

"My eldest grandson is back. I heard you making noises a while ago. Are there two big geese in the yard?"

Listening to his eldest grandson, Yu Zhiyuan felt a little uncomfortable!

"Well, I just walked in. What should I do with the two geese? Can you give me some advice, old lady?"

The old lady smiled slyly: "You must have bought a lot of things! You can ask Zhuzi to come back and kill a goose so that everyone can share a bowl."

"Okay, old lady, you continue to listen to the opera."

Yu Zhiyuan pushed open the door of the ear room and saw that his bicycle was at home. He went back to the house, found the key, and rode his bike to the factory.

It’s still in time at half past three.

When I got to the cafeteria, I went straight to find Sha Zhu.

"Zhiyuan, you just came back? Do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Brother Zhuzi, do you have work this afternoon?"

"No? Just tell me if you have something to say."

"There are two big geese outside my house. Go back and pick the big one and kill it. Then stew it and send a bowl of it to every family in the yard in the evening. You know my vegetable cellar. There are potatoes and dried mushrooms in it. You can help yourself!"

"Okay, I'll go back right away."

Yu Zhiyuan rode his bike to the commission store, strolled around and looked at everything.

When I arrived at the furniture area, I saw a pair of nice rosewood lounge chairs and asked for their price.

consider!
After strolling for a while, I saw a Huanghuali dressing table. It was so luxurious!

How much is it? Eighty.

Yu Zhiyuan couldn't help it.

One hundred and four taken.

I called a tricycle for two dollars to take me back.

Why is it so expensive?

People tie it up for you with straw ropes to prevent you from getting bumped.

When they got home, the two moved back to the backyard, brought the dressing table directly into the house, and placed two lounge chairs in the yard, one for the old lady to bask in the sun, and the other for the master.

While chatting with Shazhu, he was wiping the recliner.

"Zhiyuan, why did you buy that recliner? It's just a waste of money."

"I bought it for the old lady. When the sun is not so strong, I will let her bask in the sun. It is not good for her to stay indoors all the time. I also bought one for the master."

"Okay. How filial!" "Of course not. He is my real master."

After cleaning the lounge chair and seeing that the sun wasn't that strong anymore, I helped the old lady out.

"Old lady, take a look. Do you like it? Come out in the morning and afternoon to bask in the sun."

"Good stuff, like a rich landlord."

"Okay, you can bask in the sun."

Yu Zhiyuan quickly took out the dried potato and asked Sha Zhu, "Can you still eat it?"

"It's edible. Even if you peel it, it will still be delicious when stewed."

"That's right. After a few days of good life, they start to be picky. When they are hungry, they can't even eat this." The old lady was not hard of hearing anymore.

Fortunately, the pot outside Yu Zhiyuan's house is big, otherwise it would not be able to stew such a big goose.

"Brother Zhuzi, pick something good later. Goose meat is good for pregnant women! You don't have to pick up my sister-in-law. Is that okay?"

"It's okay. I told her to go back with the people in the hospital."

At half past six, everyone in the courtyard came back.

Yang Xuemei pushed the cart, and Qiaoqiao led Wenwen into the backyard.

Without saying anything, he just sat on the bench holding his son and didn't go anywhere.

The son's legs are stronger now and he can kick on his father's legs.

The girl lies on her father to tease her younger brother.

happy.

It wasn't until Yi Zhonghai came that I was really disgusted.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai coming, Yu Zhiyuan hurriedly stood up to greet him and asked him to sit down.

Then he said to Xuemei, "Go and get two hundred yuan."

Seeing Xuemei go back to the house to get the money, Yu Zhiyuan asked, "Uncle, do you want to see me for something?"

"I heard that you came back this afternoon with a lot of things, including a lot of food and drinks!"

"It's not easy to go on a business trip for so many days, so I'll bring some local specialties to my relatives and friends."

Xuemei handed the money to Yu Zhiyuan, and Yu Zhiyuan gave the money to Yi Zhonghai.

"Uncle, I should have paid you back the money I borrowed a long time ago, but I forgot to do it in my busy life."

"There's no rush for this. I'm not in a hurry to use the money." Yi Zhonghai put the money away. He then said, "You bought too much. It's not good for the compound."

"Uncle, I don't understand this. How can it have a bad influence? I didn't steal or rob. I bought it openly and gave it to relatives and friends openly. How can it be said that I am letting down the compound?"

"You will make people in the hospital feel competitive."

"I understand, uncle. You mean someone is jealous, right?"

"What about you? You only earn 80 yuan a month. What did we say? We know you earned it with your own ability. Oh, I studied hard, passed the assessment and earned my salary. I went on a business trip to the factory, and my two children were left at home to be taken care of by my wife. Can't I bring some food home?"

Yi Zhonghai lowered his head and said nothing.

Yu Zhiyuan turned to the old lady and said, "Old lady, today is the last time. From now on, I will eat everything secretly. I work openly and earn a salary, but I can only eat secretly. I'm scared!"

After that, he said to Sha Zhu: "Brother Zhu, is it cooked?"

Sha Zhu replied: "Okay."

"Xuemei, you and Zhiqiang will deliver one bowl to each family."

Watching the brother and sister delivering meat to each household, Yu Zhiyuan said to Sha Zhu, "Eat at my house. Call my sister-in-law over later so you can drink with me."

After the two men delivered the meat, they asked Xuemei to prepare the vegetables for Shazhu to cook.

Yu Zhiyuan filled two lunch boxes with goose meat in a net bag, asked Zhiqiang to carry him to the recliner and left without looking at Yi Zhonghai again.

Yu Zhiyuan held his son in one hand and a recliner in the other, and took several breaks on the way before he recovered.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of her master's house, Qiaoqiao ran in carrying the net bag.

I moved the recliner into the house for my master, removed the straw rope, and chatted with him for a while before returning to the courtyard.

It was cool and breezy in the yard, so we just moved the table outside to eat.

The old lady, Yu Zhiyuan and his wife, Sha Zhu and his wife, Qiaoqiao, and Zhiqiang.

When Xu Damao came back and saw this, the couple immediately took their bowls and chopsticks and joined in. They went home and got a bottle of wine. He didn't drink either, but just stayed with them to eat and chat.
