Chapter 904: Stand Up!

Courtyard

In the warm room, Song Yulan set the food on the table.

Scrambled eggs, pork stewed with vermicelli, braised potatoes, pancakes, and millet porridge.

Song Yulan placed the hot millet porridge by Cao Weiguo's hand:

"My brother sent word; he'll be here the day after tomorrow."

"Have you found a house?"

Cao Weiguo ate some scrambled eggs: "Officer Gu from the Neighborhood Office helped find one, a large courtyard in the alley behind."

Song Yulan said happily: "That's great. Is the rent expensive?"

Cao Weiguo said truthfully: "Not expensive, one east wing room, 1.3 yuan per month."

After Song Xiong started his job, he began as an intern with a monthly salary of 19.5 yuan.

The rent was less than one-tenth of his salary income.

Comparing it to the future ratio of rent to income.

Just thinking about it makes one feel sad...

Thinking back to before the time travel, with a monthly salary of over four thousand, the rent alone was over one thousand; that life was extremely happy.

How should I put it!

As long as you work harder, the boss and the landlord will become richer and richer.

The lucky thing in misfortune is that he lived again.

This time, he also wants to be a landlord and a boss, contributing to the prosperity and development of the motherland...

Let the era of the working class come quickly!

Your landlord is already looking forward to it!

I will provide you with warm and comfortable houses.

I will do the logistics work for you.

And you just need to work hard to make money, and let us move toward a beautiful life of common prosperity together!

Workers and landlords getting rich together!

Just thinking about it makes one happy!

"Brother Weiguo!"

"Brother Weiguo!"

"The coal is back!"

While the couple was eating, Liu Guangtian pushed a tricycle to the door.

Cao Weiguo walked out of the room: "Thanks for your hard work, Guangtian! Just leave the cart there!"

Liu Guangtian handed the extra money to Cao Weiguo: "Brother Weiguo, this is the remaining money."

Cao Weiguo put the money in his pocket without looking: "Have you eaten?"

Liu Guangtian shook his head: "I went to pull coal right after work; I haven't been home yet."

Cao Weiguo invited him with a smile: "If you don't mind, just make do with a few bites at my place."

Liu Guangtian's eyes lit up: "Thanks, Weiguo."

Leading Liu Guangtian into the room, Song Yulan mixed cold and hot water in a basin.

Liu Guangtian washed his hands and sat at the table, swallowing his saliva.

Pork stewed with vermicelli! Scrambled eggs! Braised potatoes!

Compared to the stir-fried cabbage at home, the oil in these dishes was too rich!

Picking up his chopsticks and a pancake, he devoured it.

He ate three pancakes and drank two bowls of millet porridge by himself.

This appetite was truly remarkable!

After eating and drinking his fill, Cao Weiguo stuffed a pack of Da Qianmen cigarettes into Liu Guangtian's hand.

This made Liu Guangtian bubble with joy.

He went home and showed off, only to have them snatched away by the Second Uncle.

Liu Guangtian was so anxious his face and neck turned red: "Dad! These cigarettes were given to me by Brother Weiguo! I earned them with my hard work!"

Liu Haizhong put the cigarettes in his pocket: "You brat! You have good things and don't know how to show filial piety to your elders! I raised you for nothing!"

The Second Aunt said from the side: "Second son! You're grown up and need to know how to show filial piety to your parents. Your dad didn't raise you easily; just treat these cigarettes as filial piety to your dad."

This made Liu Guangtian regret it so much he wanted to slap himself!

Why did he have to show off for no reason!

Now look!

These were the Da Qianmen cigarettes he had worked so hard to pull coal for!

They were gone before the packaging was even opened!

Liu Guangtian said with a crying face: "Dad! Filial piety is fine, but give me at least two cigarettes so I can taste them."

Liu Haizhong waved his hand with a straight face: "Smoking is bad for your health. You're young, smoke less. Go play somewhere else, don't be an eyesore here."

Liu Guangtian was so frustrated: "You! You! You're too overbearing!"

Liu Haizhong glared: "You brat! Your skin is itching again, right!"

Liu Guangtian shuddered in fear and turned out of the room angrily.

Liu Guangfu rolled his eyes and got up to chase after him.

Liu Haizhong took the cigarettes out of his pocket, opened the package, and shook one out.

"This Cao Weiguo is too stingy!"

"The second son helped him pull a cart of coal and he only gave one pack of cigarettes."

"I'll have to give him a hard time another day."

He put it in his mouth, took out a match, lit it, and took a deep puff.

Then, he exhaled a cloud of smoke with satisfaction.

A cigarette after a meal is as happy as an immortal!

Comfortable!

These Da Qianmen are better than economy cigarettes!

The Second Aunt was cleaning up the bowls and chopsticks: "People are always stingier the richer they get. Look at Cao Weiguo, so extravagant, buying coal whenever he wants. The room is as warm as summer. Who else would be so wasteful, not afraid of getting internal heat."

Liu Haizhong puffed on his cigarette: "Hmph! Just a villain who got lucky! Once he became a leader, he forgot his own name! This is just because I'm in a good mood; otherwise, I'd definitely report him for extravagance and waste."

The Second Aunt said hurriedly: "Don't look for trouble for no reason. Let's just talk about it; it's not worth meddling and offending people."

Liu Haizhong said impatiently: "I know! I'm just saying it! Do I look like a fool to you?"

Reporting Cao Weiguo for extravagance and waste was just for the sake of talking.

He has a high salary, so burning more coal is his own money. ===== CHAPTER 906 =====
