59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

It was sunny when we came, and it was snowing when we left.

Fortunately, in order to prevent the car from getting cold, Chen Jianguo installed a small stove in the car with two coal balls lit in it. After lighting it at Zhou's house, he only needed to take care of it along the way and add coal balls in time.

This way, even if it is very cold outside, the car can still maintain a suitable temperature.

Along the way, Chen Jianjun and Zhou Qing took turns driving the car, and Chen Feng was not allowed to take over.

But it’s also good this way. Chen Feng grilled meat using a small stove in the car.

Chen Jianjun was driving the car while holding a semi-automatic rifle.

With the green coat suit from the Security Department he was wearing, the journey was peaceful and no one dared to be careless.

"Dad, the pomfret is cooked."

Chen Feng gave the roasted pomfret to Chen Hao and continued to roast the skewered conch meat.

Chen Hao smelled the fragrance and then presented it to his father outside the car door.

Chen Li had the barbecue and no longer ate the candied haws. She leaned in her mother's arms, happily biting a palm-sized pomfret.

This was the first one that Chen Feng roasted. He originally wanted to give it to Chen Jianjun, but his father felt sorry for his little one.

The small stove has good heat and the food is cooked quite quickly.

Along the way, he grilled at least three pounds of conch meat, five pomfret, and also took out a bag of peanuts, a bag of dried fish and two bags of razor clams.

Except for the peanuts, everything else was put in the car by Uncle Zhou Jing for them to take back.

When we returned to the courtyard, it was already past six in the evening and it was already pitch dark.

Fortunately, the snow was not too heavy, otherwise we would have returned even later.

"Brother, you are finally back."

Chen Jianguo, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, helped to take down the things given by the Zhou family. He just picked up Chen Li, smelled her body, and saw the oil stains on Chen Li's little mouth.

I couldn't help but pinch my niece's little face.

“How much barbecue did you eat in the car?”

"So much!" Chen Li said happily, drawing a circle with her hands, "There's so much meat, I'm full."

"Okay, second brother, we have taken down all the things, you should return the carriage quickly."

Chen Jianjun took his daughter from his hands and said to Chen Jianguo.

Chen Feng took out three dried pomfret from the bag and asked, "Second Uncle, do you want to keep three?"

Chen Jianguo shook his head and said, "No, the meat I gave you before is enough."

He drove a carriage to transport social activities.

Chen Jianjun, Zhou Qing and Chen Feng entered the compound with bags, while the old man and the old lady waited in the kitchen for a long time.

"You guys go and eat, leave this to us." The old lady took the bag and sorted the conch meat, dried fish, etc. in the bag and placed them in the kitchen cabinet.

"The food is still being heated up in the kitchen. I've left half a casserole of broth for you."

The little girl boasted: "Grandma, the big pot roasted a lot of meat in the car, and we ate it all."

Chen Feng smiled and said, "You are full, but we are not."

Seeing that her parents, eldest brother and second brother were all eating, she immediately felt that she wanted to eat too.

Sitting on the stool again, waiting for dinner.

Zhou Qing gave Chen Li and Chen Hao half a bowl of rice, worried that they wouldn't be able to finish it.

But the two little ones were in the growing stage, so not only did they finish the stir-fried cabbage and wild boar rib soup, they also ordered another half bowl.

After eating, Chen Hao still washed the dishes.

Chen Feng put the coal balls in the stove into the kangs in the four bedrooms.

Looking at the fire coming out from under the big pot bed, the little girl pestered him and said, "Big Pot, let's build a small barbecue house in the yard, too?"

This girl likes the game of setting fire on the stone stove.

When I was at Zhou's house, my favorite thing to do was to throw dried shrubs into the stove.

"Lily, we don't have any firewood to burn here."

Chen Feng pointed at the honeycomb briquettes and said, "Don't throw this thing around, it will burn you."

Chen Hao finished washing the dishes and Chen Jianguo also came back.

The family gathered in the main room, around the one remaining stove, chatting using the last bit of heat from the burning coal.

At seven o'clock, Ran Qiuye, Zhang Haixing, He Yushui and Sha Zhu came together.

Chen Jianguo kicked Chen Hao and said, "Sit on this stool and give the chair to your teacher."

Everyone said hello.

"Why is it so late today?"

The old lady took out the mahjong box and poured out the tiles.

"Eat some peanuts, melon seeds, and dried fruits."

Zhou Qing placed the large wooden box in a corner next to the eight-immortals table.

Sha Zhu sat behind Ran Qiuye and took a handful of peanuts from the Chen family's wooden box.

Then he peeled the shells and placed the peanuts on Ran Qiuye's table, just right for her to eat.

Ran Qiuye and Zhang Haixing sat at two seats at the table. Ran Qiuye brought a bag of paper-wrapped gummy candies, while Zhang Haixing brought a large bag of paper-wrapped dried meat of unknown animals.

"A deaf old lady took Qiu Ye aside and talked to me for half an hour about thanking me while I was having dinner."

Sha Zhu shook his head, seeming to not care about their thanks at all.

"I told them no, but they just wanted to thank me."

The old man, the old lady, Chen Feng and Chen Jianguo looked at this big fool at the same time, their eyes were surprised but also calm.

Why is Shazhu stupid?

Isn't it just that he has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and likes to play the role of a nice guy?

But Yi Zhonghai has already left Beijing, so why is he still letting you take care of him in his old age?

Chen Feng and the others were a little confused.

Now that Yi Zhonghai is gone, shouldn't Jia Dongxu take care of him?

Chen Jianjun glanced at Sha Zhu and said nothing.

He rescued the widows and children of his fallen comrades, who were his friends for life and death, and these people were worth his sacrifice.

But let’s not talk about the people in the compound next door!

Assistance and relief should be targeted at different people.

Even Zhou Qing, who has always been harmless, felt that something was wrong.

"Didn't Jia Dongxu take care of Aunt Yi?"

Ran Qiuye smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Jia is willing, but his mother would never agree, saying that she would only agree if he gave her money and food coupons."

The old man seemed to be sympathetic to Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi, but in fact he was blaming them: "Old Yi is not a good master. If Jia Dongxu was a third or fourth level fitter now, Zhang Cuihua wouldn't be short of food."

He scolded them all!

There is something wrong with Old Yi accepting disciples, and there is something wrong with Jia and Zhang falling out with each other.

Ran Qiuye understood the old man's warning and explained, "This is a commission from Director Wang of the Street Office. In the past, the first uncle took care of the deaf old lady, but now the first uncle is gone, and the second and third uncles are poor."

"They are not poor, they just don't want to help." Sha Zhu said disdainfully.

Ran Qiuye glanced at him, and Sha Zhu immediately peeled peanuts for her in a flattering manner.

"The Jia family is short of food, so they asked us to take care of them. We only need to provide breakfast and dinner. Director Wang didn't let us take care of them in vain. When Yu Shui graduates, she will ensure that she arranges a good job for him."

There are several ways to allocate urban household registration, and school allocation, transfer by receiving units and arrangement by street offices are the three most common ones.

Especially the last one.

When educated youth came back from the countryside and wanted to find jobs in the city, most of them were arranged by the street office.

"This is still not worth it." Zhou Qing whispered.

Ran Qiuye said openly and frankly: "Not only this one, Aunt Yi and the deaf old lady also gave us food money, 10 yuan every month, and they also hinted in their words that when they are gone in the future, all their inheritance will be inherited by us."

"Cough cough!"

Sha Zhu quickly reminded his wife to be careful with her words.

This teacher Ran does have a rather straightforward character, but if she wasn't, she wouldn't have given up on the Diamond King teacher He Jiashazhu, whom she had a crush on, just because of Qin Huairu's words.

"10 yuan a month, that's not bad." Chen Jianguo said with a smile.

Whether it is the deaf old lady or the middle-aged lady, they all have a lot of money. 120 yuan a year, which is only yuan in ten years.

The money they have is enough to live for decades.

Chen Feng speculated that this should be the deaf old lady's idea.

This old man, who has lived for many years, has an accurate eye for talent and knows very well what kind of people the Jia family is. So in the original story, he would rather match Lou Xiao'e and Sha Zhu to take care of them in their old age than see Sha Zhu being dragged into the deep pit of the Jia family by Qin Huairu.

All in all, Sha Zhu didn't suffer any loss from this deal, and he even got a great deal.

Prices are very low now, a bowl of plain noodles costs only 5 cents, and the average person's monthly food expenses are basically around 2 to 5 yuan.

Just 10 yuan is enough for Shazhu to earn some pocket money.

The old lady threw the dice into the center of the table.

Zhang Haixing is the boss.

The Chen family didn't say much about Sha Zhu taking care of the deaf old lady and Aunt Yi. Ran Qiuye agreed, so there was no point in saying more.
