~6 min read 1,106 words

Yi Zhonghai was stunned.

Is this fool talking nonsense?

Reaching Grade One was already pure luck; dreaming of breaking through to Grade Three is impossible!

However, Yi Zhonghai did not crush his spirits.

"Jia Jia Dongxu, having ambition for your career is a good thing."

"But everything must be done gradually; haste makes waste."

Yi Zhonghai rambled on at length.

He had never really taught Jia Jia Jia Dongxu any skills anyway, so there was no way the boy could break through.

Yet the more Yi Zhonghai spoke like this, the more determined Jia Jia Jia Dongxu became to accomplish something great!

Shocking everyone!

Causing a sensation at the Rolling Steel Mill!

Big shots, please give flowers, votes, and everything~.

010. Jia Jia Jia Dongxu Has Caused Trouble! (First Update)

Sihe Academy.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's door stood wide open.

Tonight he would eat something light: braised pork ribs and white rice.

In this era, pork ribs were not considered valuable.

Because supplies were scarce, everyone had very little fat in their diets.

So everyone preferred buying pork belly and fatty meat.

This way, the fat could be rendered into lard, and the remaining cracklings could serve as a occasional treat.

Stir-frying vegetables with lard was truly fragrant.

However, even this lard was something only well-off families could afford.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye spending two yuan on six jin of ribs seemed to others like someone who didn't know how to manage a household.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye didn't care in the least.

The original owner's physique needed nutritional reinforcement.

He had bought these ribs at the Pigeon Market.

His supermarket also had them.

But he wanted to taste the pork ribs of this era.

The aroma of the meal soon drifted through the courtyard.

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye chewed slowly and couldn't help but exclaim, "So fragrant!"

The pigs of this era ate grain and grass that were all-natural, with no pesticides and no chemical fertilizers.

Therefore, the pork raised this way tasted excellent.

Unlike the feed-fed pigs and alcohol-injected pigs of later generations, where some pork was as hard as plastic!

"Those beasts must be crying from hunger by now, right?"

"You caused my divorce, and now you still want me to support you in old age?"

"Not one of you will get away; keep dreaming!"

Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye had already made his calculations.

Jia Jia Jia Dongxu would be the first to meet his end, setting an example for these beasts!

At this moment.

Several neighbors in the rear courtyard, smelling the aroma, were all swallowing their saliva.

The Deaf Old Lady slammed her table in anger.

Because her entire family had died as martyrs, every household in the courtyard respected her greatly.

Whenever any family cooked a good meal, they would always send her some.

Except for that scoundrel Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye!

He had ignored her in the past, and now he even wanted to stage a fake accident to extort him!

The Deaf Old Lady thought again about Sha Zhu's lunchbox, which made her even more furious.

"That foolish pillar!"

The Old Lady treated him like her own grandson, so she still couldn't bear to scold Sha Zhu harshly.

Liu Hai was also drooling with craving; the scrambled eggs on his table no longer looked appetizing.

"That brat Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye has gone too far."

"What kind of family eats meat at every single meal?"

Liu Hai was so angry he didn't even want to eat.

The Second Matriarch also sighed, "Both are cooks, so why is the gap so huge?"

"In the past, when Sha Zhu made two dishes for the New Year, we thought they tasted quite good."

"But now, compared to Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye, Sha Zhu is nothing."

Middle Courtyard.

Sha Zhu hadn't brought back a lunchbox, and Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu gave him no good look, so he sat alone at home drinking sorrowfully.

Jia Jia Jia Dongxu's mother and Bang Geng both smelled the aroma of pork ribs from Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye's house, and neither of the grandfather and grandson was happy about it.

Especially Jia Jia Jia Dongxu's mother, who cursed and muttered for a long Third Third Third Third Time: "That childless bastard Lu Lu Lu Lu Lu Jianye!"

"He's eating all by himself again!"

"With so many children in my family, he doesn't even think to send a little over!"

……

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu said nothing, just continued cooking.

She was utterly speechless in her heart.

Most of the fine meals sent over by people in the courtyard ended up in Jia Jia Jia Dongxu's mother's stomach.

Yet every Third Third Third Third Time, she used the children as an excuse; truly shameless.

But she dared not speak out; in this household, she had no say.

After Jia Jia Jia Dongxu's mother had cursed enough, she asked, "Why hasn't Jia Jia Dongxu returned yet?"

"Even Old Man Yan has come back."

Only then did Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu say, "Zhang Zhang Laosan just came by and said Jia Jia Dongxu is working overtime tonight."

"He wants to pass next month's skill-grade assessment."

If he passed, Jia Jia Jia Dongxu's wages could increase by another ten yuan.

Hearing this, Jia Jia Jia Dongxu's mother was quite pleased; her son showing promise brought honor to her face.

Just at that moment, Zhang Zhang Laosan came rushing over hurriedly: "Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu!"

"Jia Jia Jia Dongxu has caused trouble!"

What?

Both Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu and Jia Jia Jia Dongxu's mother looked over immediately.

Both of them were stunned.

How could this be possible?

Their family's Jia Jia Jia Dongxu was not that kind of person.

In her panic, Jia Jia Jia Dongxu's mother fell straight off the kang bed onto the ground, spraining her foot.

Qin Qin Qin Qin Huairu quickly asked what had happened.

Zhang Zhang Laosan said, "Jia Jia Jia Dongxu violated workshop management regulations, unauthorizedly altered the production process, and breached operating procedures."

"Not only did he break the machine, but he also caused injuries to himself and two fellow workers; they are still in the hospital."

"You'd better prepare some money quickly and go see them."

Having said this, Zhang Zhang Laosan ran off.

This news struck the Jia family like a bolt of lightning!

Just moments ago, they had been hoping Jia Jia Jia Dongxu would rise to prominence, and now they were being told he was in the hospital!
