Hearing this, Yu Li declined slightly, then reached out and took it.
But when the two people's hands touched, they inevitably bumped into each other.
Touching the knuckles on Cao Yuan's hand, Yu Li's face turned red again.
"When the room gets dirty again, I will come and help you clean it up!" After speaking, she hurried out and closed the door.
Yu Li's figure gradually disappeared from sight, and Cao Yuan sighed secretly in his heart.
Looking at his own brother, there was no movement at all.
This is too frustrating!
In this era of food and clothing shortage, having a meal of dumplings is already good, especially since Cao Yuan's dumplings are filled with cabbage and pork.
That's even more unique.
Cao Yuan watched Yu Li gobble it down, and didn't say anything.
In fact, Cao Yuan knew exactly what Yu Li's purpose was in coming to help the original owner clean, do laundry, and cook.
Wasn't it because Third Master Yan Fugui saw that the original owner's family was rich and wanted to get some benefits from the original owner's family, so he sent Yu Li over?
Regardless of the original owner or Cao Yuan, it was indeed good to have someone clean the house.
Yu Li is also timid and doesn't dare to take things from the house, at most she just brings back some leftovers.
This is not a big problem for Cao Yuan.
Now that Cao Yuan is slowly starting to recover as a man, he feels a little itchy in his heart looking at Yu Li's appearance, if...
Hehe!
Of course, this matter can only be thought about for the time being.
Whether he can win her over or not will depend on what happens later.
After Cao Yuan finished eating the dumplings, he rested for a while.
But before long, he felt a little hungry again.
Perhaps the cultivation of the Great Might Heavenly Dragon Divine Skill consumed too much of his energy.
Remembering the five jins of chicken coupons given by the system, he immediately decided to buy a chicken to replenish his energy.
While thinking, Cao Yuan walked out.
Planning to go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
Just stepping out the door, he saw Jia Zhangshi scolding someone from the window.
"Cao Yuan, this bastard, must have gone out to buy something delicious again! He's so rich, but he doesn't think about our family! He's really an ingrate!"
Hearing this, Jia Dongxu also joined in the booing, and said fiercely: "Everyone in the Siheyuan (Courtyard) knows to help us, but only Cao Yuan doesn't!"
"Eat it, eat it! He will be eaten poor sooner or later! This kind of person shouldn't live so well!"
… …
Cao Yuan had just walked to the front yard when he saw Third Master Yan Fugui carefully wiping his precious bicycle.
At that time, bicycles were rare items.
On the one hand, the price was expensive, and on the other hand, bicycle tickets were even harder to get.
Without a ticket, having money was useless.
Like Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant where Cao Yuan stayed, thousands of workers only received about twenty bicycle tickets a year.
Yan Fugui was able to get one because he taught at the school, worked for decades, and was good at calculating, so he finally managed to get one.
He usually treasures it so much that even his own children have to pay to ride it.
Seeing Cao Yuan coming out, Yan Fugui immediately put on a smile and greeted him warmly.
"Yo! Cao Yuan! Are you going out? That what, thank you for the milk candy, it's so sweet!"
While talking, Third Master took out a milk candy from his pocket and waved it in front of Cao Yuan.
Then he stuffed it into his own mouth.
Cao Yuan knew very well that these milk candies were brought back from his house by Yu Li.
Third Master must have taken some of her milk candies smoothly.
Cao Yuan felt helpless in his heart, his own family members were calculating against each other, let alone outsiders.
Sometimes, when these thoughts are used too deeply, it really makes people feel a headache.
However, Cao Yuan didn't pretend to be deaf and dumb to Yan Fugui's greeting, and replied politely: "Oh, I'm going out to buy some vegetables."
Hearing that Cao Yuan was going out, Yan Fugui's eyes rolled, and he quickly asked: "Early in the morning, and you're not in a hurry to go to work, where are you going?"
"It's nothing, just buying some vegetables." Cao Yuan replied simply.
Buying vegetables?
As soon as Yan Fugui heard this, he began to calculate in his heart.
Cao Yuan is generous and chooses the best when buying anything, which is well-known.
Thinking of this, Yan Fugui had a plan in his mind, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll let Yu Li help you when you come back."
He was very relieved about Cao Yuan, and even more proud of his little cleverness.
Anyway, Cao Yuan is a Eunuch Cao, even if he has any thoughts about Yu Li, he doesn't have the ability.
The more Yan Fugui thought about it, the happier he became, and the corners of his mouth widened.
Cao Yuan didn't say much, smiled and walked out.
Just as he walked to the entrance of the Siheyuan (Courtyard), he ran into Lou Xiao'e who had returned from her parents' home.
Lou Xiao'e looks gentle and pleasant, with fair skin and a plump figure.
Although she was wearing loose clothes, her good figure was still faintly visible.
Seeing Cao Yuan, she also smiled and greeted him: "Cao Yuan, are you going out?"
"Yeah, going to buy some vegetables." Cao Yuan replied simply.
The two exchanged glances and walked away without saying a few words.
As Xu Damao's neighbor, Cao Yuan certainly knew why Lou Xiao'e went back to her parents' home.
Xu Damao himself cannot have children, but he puts all the blame on Lou Xiao'e, scolding her all day long for being a hen that can't lay eggs.
Over time, the conflicts between the couple became deeper and deeper.
Lou Xiao'e's belly didn't move, and Xu Damao's temper became worse and worse, either a cold war or a fight.
So Lou Xiao'e often ran back to her parents' home.
Cao Yuan felt that, compared to the others in the Siheyuan (Courtyard), Lou Xiao'e was quite normal.
Especially later, after Lou Xiao'e's family had an accident and fled to another place, she was still willing to help those who had bullied her.
Cao Yuan felt that Lou Xiao'e was so kind!
"Marrying Xu Damao really wronged her." Cao Yuan sighed in his heart as he walked towards the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
At the moment when Lou Xiao'e passed by Cao Yuan, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.
But Cao Yuan had already stepped away.
She could only see his receding figure, which was both tall and sturdy.
As a close neighbor, since Xu Damao's temperament changed drastically, she always couldn't help but compare Cao Yuan to Xu Damao.
Whether it was appearance or conditions, Cao Yuan was far superior to Xu Damao.
After a while, Cao Yuan's figure completely disappeared, and she withdrew from her thoughts.
A pang of bitterness rose in her heart, and she muttered in a low voice:
"It's a pity, he is an Eunuch Cao."
......
Arriving at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, it was empty outside, with few people around.
The sky was gloomy, as if snow could fall at any moment.
On the mottled wall of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, there were slogans commonly seen in that era.
Cao Yuan took out a five-jin chicken ticket and handed it to the staff member, who couldn't help but take another look at him.
In that era, apart from unit purchases, ordinary families usually only bought one or two liang of meat.
Although chicken was relatively cheaper, no one would buy five jin at once.
"We just received a rooster, which is about five jin."
"Why don't you just take the chicken back?"
Cao Yuan didn't say much to the staff member's words, and directly counted three yuan and handed it over.
Walking on the road, people passing by couldn't help but cast envious glances at the rooster he was carrying.
"Such a big chicken, enough to eat for several meals!"
"Wow, so generous, it's not even the New Year, how come they are eating chicken?"
"This young man looks really energetic, does he have a girlfriend? I think he's quite suitable for my daughter!"
"Come on! Who doesn't know that your daughter can't get married because she doesn't look outstanding? You still want to harm a clean and refreshing young man?"
......
Faced with other people's envious eyes, Cao Yuan felt quite proud in his heart.
After buying the chicken, he didn't rush home, but strolled around and bought some peanuts and carrots and other ingredients.
Anyway, with the generous inheritance left to him by his uncle, plus his own job, the salary is also quite considerable, Cao Yuan is not short of money at all.
Moreover, after learning that his "born Eunuch Cao" situation might improve, he felt that he should celebrate it!
Having just obtained the Master Chef Skill from the golden treasure chest, Cao Yuan suddenly became unusually sensitive to ingredients, and could tell the quality and freshness of the ingredients at a glance.
This surprised even the veteran employees who had worked in the Supply and Marketing Cooperative for many years, and they praised him unreservedly:
"Oh! Your eye is really sharp, you picked all the best dishes!"
Cao Yuan just smiled slightly and didn't say much.
After buying the vegetables, he slowly walked towards his Siheyuan (Courtyard).
Before he had gone far, he saw a couple pulling and tugging there.
The man was He Yuzhu, whom people in the yard jokingly called Sha Zhu.
In the book, his identity as the male protagonist remains unchanged. He is a staunch follower of the vampire Qin Huairu, willing to be "bled" by her for a lifetime.
Although everyone jokingly calls him Sha Zhu and he looks dazed, Cao Yuan knew in his heart that Sha Zhu was very shrewd.
He just coveted Qin Huairu's body!
That's right, he was taking the opportunity to deliver food and wanted to have some intimacy with Qin Huairu.
Unfortunately, Sha Zhu only had that little thought, at most he would secretly touch Qin Huairu's hand, he didn't have the guts to really do anything.
That lady was Qin Huairu.
In her twenties, she had a full figure and alluring curves.
However, her husband Jia Dongxu was still alive, but he made a mistake while working in the factory, and his legs were crippled, becoming a useless person lying in bed unable to move.
After Jia Dongxu was paralyzed, Qin Huairu took over his job and became an apprentice fitter in the same workshop as First Master Yi.
With her meager monthly salary of thirty-three yuan, she had to support three children, a disabled husband, and a lazy mother-in-law.
Let's put it this way, the current Qin Huairu is a bit more miserable than written in the book.
Of course, no matter how much she saves, thirty-three yuan can't support a family of six.
Thanks to Sha Zhu's help, Qin Huairu's face doesn't show any fatigue at all, unlike a overworked housewife.
Her skin is fair and rosy, and her eyes are captivating, making people's hearts itch with just one glance.
At this time, Cao Yuan saw Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu pulling and tugging, glanced at them, and turned his head to walk towards his own home.
He had no good feelings for the Jia family at all, and wished he could stay far away from them.
His uncle sacrificed himself to protect the things in the factory, and Cao Yuan didn't know about it at that time.
As a result, Jia Zhangshi jumped out, wanting to monopolize the family property left by his uncle.
She didn't even tell Cao Yuan about the pension given by the factory, and wanted to pocket it herself.
Later, when the matter was revealed, she actually shamelessly said that she and Cao Yuan's uncle were neighbors, and now that the Jia family was having a hard time, and she was paralyzed in bed, she should also get a share!
It was extremely infuriating!
What was even more infuriating was that after Jia Zhangshi said this, the people in the yard, especially First Master Yi, actually helped the Jia family speak.
If Cao Yuan hadn't had the memories of his previous life and argued desperately, he would have almost been deceived by Jia Zhangshi.
But in the end, Jia Zhangshi didn't get a share of his uncle's property or the pension from the factory.
But from then on, Jia Zhangshi hated Cao Yuan with a passion.
But Cao Yuan in his previous life, who was in charge of a large company with thousands of people, how could he take a small Jia family seriously?
