People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

Chen Erni felt that life was becoming more and more boring.

In the past, no one had enough to eat, especially during the three years of natural disasters, when every family lived on bran, wild vegetables and tree bark.

At that time, although the food was harder than it is now, there was still a purpose in life. I had a sense of responsibility in my heart and everything I ate tasted delicious.

But now, it's different.

The lives of everyone in this courtyard are getting better day by day, except for the Yan family, who are still so stingy.

Chen Erni didn't know when this day would end.

I feel like there's no point in this.

When did the Yan family's fortunes begin to go downhill?

Chen Erni felt that it was the time when Yan Fugui and Xu Damao got together.

Later, Yan Jiecheng failed to live up to his expectations, Xu Damao got into trouble, and Yan Fugui had to pay Xu a sum of money.

She also blamed herself for not persuading Yan Fugui at the beginning. As for her eldest son's job, at worst she could wait for the work arrangements from above. When there was a job vacancy, she could naturally arrange it.

Moreover, although Yan Jiecheng did not have a formal job at that time, he could still earn some money for food by doing odd jobs.

Now, Yan Fugui's calculations are becoming more and more serious.

Just for ordering pork, he could say those words, it's obvious that he is obsessed.

"Why are you in the pit so early? Wash the dishes."

Yan Fugui didn't notice Chen Erni's abnormality and was still immersed in the fantasy of getting Yan Jiecheng's welfare pork.

The two brothers Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiefang looked at each other without saying anything. While Yan Fugui was not noticing them, they secretly hid a steamed bread and then slipped off the table.

"Get me some meat."

Hearing this, Lin Yi's hand that was making tea shook slightly and he poured out some boiling water.

He calmly took the rag beside him and wiped the table.

Lin Yi placed the cup of brewed tea in front of Sun Yue.

Lin Yi looked at Sun Yue and said nothing.

"I know you can get the meat. I've been there for several days. Even if others don't know, I know it."

"I know how many pigs they have. Even including the ones in the sows' bellies, there are only about 40 to 50 pigs."

"Your steel mill has become quite famous this time."

Sun Yue said with a smile, looking at Lin Yi with a grin.

"Those pigs were sent by the Hulukou Brigade."

Lin Yi said this with certainty.

Anyway, the pigs are now in the cold storage of the steel rolling mill. Unless some slaughterhouse or meat processing plant says that they have lost fifty pigs, these pigs must have been raised by the Hulukou Brigade.

"I don't care about that. Where the pig came from is none of my business. When others ask me, I just say that Hulukou raised it myself."

Sun Yue said seriously that he didn't want to end the conversation with Lin Yi.

"I just wanted to say that if you could get some meat, you could help me get some for the New Year."

Lin Yi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then said, "Hulukou said they would leave me a portion of the New Year pig, I'll give you some."

Sun Yue shook his head and said, "You underestimate me. I didn't ask for it myself. My family doesn't lack this kind of food."

The office fell into silence. Lin Yi and Sun Yue didn't say anything, just looked at each other.

After a while, Lin Yi asked, "How much do you want?"

"Two thousand kilograms. No pork, but chicken, duck, or fish will do. As long as it's meat, I want it."

Considering Sun Yue's background, Lin Yi asked cautiously, "Does your unit need it?"

Sun Yue nodded, then shook his head and said nothing.

"Find a secluded place and wait for the stuff to arrive. I'll notify you and then you can go get it."

After listening to Lin Yi's words, Sun Yue said, "I'll let you know when I find a good place. I owe you a favor for this."

"There is nothing owed or not owed, it's just a matter of money and goods being paid off."

When it comes to favors, you can't just say them, just keep them in your heart.

Sun Yue paused, then said awkwardly: "I don't have any money."

Now it was Lin Yi's turn to be stunned. You come to me for sex without money, and you think I run a bank?

Seeing Lin Yi staring at him, Sun Yue became more and more embarrassed.

"The company can't come up with the money, so many people's allowances haven't been paid. The higher the rank, the more they are owed."

Sun Yue said something ambiguously.

For some reason, Lin Yi's heart softened, and he pretended to be generous and said, "Forget it this time."

"So, I said I owe you a favor."

Sun Yue said this again.

Lin Yi also took this to heart. This was Sun Yue’s promise.

"Find a secluded house where you don't need to send anyone to watch over it. I'll let you know when everything is ready."

Lin Yi reminded again.

"I said, I don't care about this."

Sun Yue gave Lin Yi assurance again.

The matter of the meat was settled, and the conversation between the two became relaxed.

"Hasn't Youxi come to see you recently?"

"She and I are just ordinary friends. Why are you all so gossipy?"

"Who would believe that? You Hai, that big mouth, told everyone that you two had lived in the countryside for half a month."

"He's such a big mouth, didn't Youxi teach him a lesson?"

"He went to the north. I heard that his father asked the guards to take him there."

"Where's Youxi?"

"Didn't you say you were just in a casual relationship? Why are you asking?"

"Can't ordinary friends ask?"

"You can ask, but you better be careful recently. There's a jerk who might cause trouble for you."

"what happened?"

"Do you know why Youxi ran away from home last time?"

"I do not want to know."

Lin Yi's words "I don't want to know" almost killed the conversation.

"You'll beg me to tell you later. Anyway, just be careful. If you encounter someone looking for trouble, hide away and come to me yourself, or have someone talk to you."

"I'll take care of this for you. It doesn't count as a favor."

Sun Yue assured Lin Yi.

Sun Yue drank the tea in the cup and left.

Lin Yi was alone in the office, looking out the window at the snowflakes slowly falling outside.

This snow has been falling for three days. Fortunately, it has not been heavy. It has been a light snow all the time and it never stops.

Sun Yue's words today also gave Lin Yi a reminder.

The fifty pigs given to the steel mill were indeed too impressive.

Fortunately, there is a pad at the mouth of the gourd.

Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous.

However, this is also an exam, and there will always be people who will come to Hulukou Brigade.

Not only will they go directly to the door, they will definitely go through the leaders of Hulukou County and the commune.

At this time, it depends on whether Ning Dawei and his team can hold on.

Let’s see if the people from Hulukou Brigade can keep their mouths shut.

If this can be done, then in the next few years, the Hulukou Battalion will naturally be Lin Yi's close comrade-in-arms.

If he couldn't do it, Lin Yi wouldn't admit it anyway. The person who was suffering on paper had nothing to do with Lin Yi.
