Chapter 266: Chi Family Treats, Qin Jie Borrows Meat

Rolling Mill

When getting off work, Shazhu wanted to take some wild boar meat home.

But when he was about to reach the door, he saw the security section checking the workers' bags.

This scared Shazhu into turning back to the kitchen and quietly putting the wild boar meat back into the warehouse.

Shazhu wasn't really stupid!

He could quibble about taking some leftovers, but if he were caught taking wild boar meat, he would definitely be arrested.

"The guys in the security section must be full and have nothing to do!"

Putting the wild boar meat back into the storeroom, Shazhu left while cursing.

When he reached the door, he was indeed stopped by the security section, and his bag and lunch box were carefully checked.

Because Cao Weiguo strictly forbade "shaking the ladle," there were no leftovers in the kitchen on weekdays.

Even if there were leftovers, it wouldn't be his turn, so Shazhu's lunch box was also empty.

He also wanted to get an extra portion of food at noon, but his grain coupons were all given to Qin Huairu.

Just as he left the rolling mill, Qin Huairu ran over, reaching out with a look of expectation:

"Zhuzi, give me the pork quickly."

Shazhu scratched his head in shame: "Qin Jie, the security section is checking strictly today, I'll find an opportunity to get the pork for you next time."

Qin Huairu withdrew her hand in disappointment, her pretty face full of frustration:

"Hey, I boasted to Banggeng yesterday, saying that Uncle Zhuzi could let them eat meat."

"Now that I'm going back empty-handed, how disappointed the children must be."

These words made Shazhu feel ashamed, feeling that he had failed the trust of Qin Huairu and the children.

"Qin Jie, don't worry, you go back and tell Banggeng, I guarantee he will eat meat."

"Those lazy guys in the security section can't check strictly every day."

"As long as there is an opportunity, I will bring the meat back."

"I will cook braised pork for you and the children myself."

Sihe Academy

Cao Weiguo and Song Yulan were guests at the Chi family.

Aunt Sun made a large table of dishes to entertain the Cao couple.

"Aunt Sun, where did you buy this chicken? It's really fat, our couple is in for a treat."

"Hahaha, fat right? You are not allowed to leave today until you eat it all."

Her meat coupons were used up, so even if she had money, she couldn't buy it at the vegetable market.

In order to thank Cao Weiguo, this chicken was specifically bought by her from the pigeon market.

The two families sat together, the women chatting.

The men drinking, after a few drinks, the conversation opened up.

Cao Weiguo was a guest at the Chi family, eating and drinking well.

The Yan family, adjacent to the Chi family, was exceptionally quiet, and Third Aunt was full of worries while holding chopsticks.

The Yan family had many people, and although Yan Fugui and Yan Jiecheng were both earning wages, their income was still low.

Even if Yan Fugui was frugal, the family's grain was still not enough to eat.

Looking at the few salted vegetables on the plate, the transparent thin porridge in the bowl, and holding the mixed flour steamed bun.

Yu Li couldn't help but feel sour in her heart; when would these days of starving come to an end.

Smelling the scent of dishes and wine coming from the Chi family, and listening to the laughter that came from time to time, Yan Fugui's face was a bit ugly.

The Chi family holding a banquet to entertain Cao Weiguo with great fanfare was like a slap in his face.

Because since Cao Weiguo helped Yan Jiecheng get a job at the rolling mill, the Yan family hadn't shown the slightest expression.

Now Cao Weiguo got Chi Ping'an into the rolling mill, and the Chi family bought wine and meat to treat him in return.

Comparing the attitudes of the two families, how would the people in the courtyard look at it, and what would Cao Weiguo think.

Behind his back, they might be discussing and belittling the Yan family, mocking him, this Third Uncle.

Not to mention Third Uncle Yan Fugui's ugly face, Yan Jiecheng also felt ashamed.

While complaining about Chi Ping'an's pretense in his heart, he was also a bit jealous of Chi Ping'an's wealth.

The atmosphere in the Yan family was oppressive, and Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi ate slowly.

Afraid of making a sound and becoming the Third Uncle's punching bag.

Middle Courtyard

Yi Zhonghai ate pig head meat with a livid face, and First Aunt shook her head and sighed silently.

The Yi family's living conditions were good, because Yi Zhonghai's salary was high, and the family didn't worry about food or drink.

But because the couple had no children, there weren't many smiles in the family all year round.

Yi Zhonghai was full of thoughts about finding someone to support him in his old age, also because he wanted to have something to rely on when he got old. ===== CHAPTER 268 =====
