Chapter 870 Salted Fish and the Beginning of a New Life

It was just after noon, and Li Ergou, who lived in Alley 4, East District, Sun City, had just fallen asleep.

Then, I was directly woken up by the noise of 'ping ping ping pong' that started again in the third alley next door.

"Why are these guys next door going crazy again? Don't they know that if they do this, they will get hungry faster and consume food faster."

Li Ergou cursed and put on an old linen robe.

After tightening the belt around my waist to make myself feel less hungry, I walked out the door; I planned to see what the guys next door were doing.

As a disabled person due to a work-related injury, Li Ergou had to return to Sun City for retirement from a certain action force of the Anti-Imperial Alliance.

In fact, in terms of personal treatment, it can be considered quite good in the entire Sun City.

You can receive seventy kilograms of grain and five kilograms of fresh meat every month, which is enough for one person to eat and drink.

Perhaps Li Ergou, who was retiring in the city, felt a little empty and lonely, so he got married to a young widow whose man had died.

Then, five cubs were born in a flash.

This means that the beginning of his miserable life; even according to the regulations in Sun City, as long as an individual can enjoy the monthly supply of various supplies.

It's a pity that a half-grown boy is living in poverty.

The problem is that with the current anti-imperialist alliance, the economic conditions are becoming increasingly tight.

Children, women and children who enjoy the lowest level of food supply, how can they eat the little food they receive every month!

As these boys grew up, the amount of food their family received every month was far from enough to meet their actual needs.

So one meal each in the morning and evening, and forcibly saving one meal at noon was the only way their family could cope with this crisis...

As expected, Li Ergou found outside the room that his five little cubs had gone off to have fun even if they had an empty stomach.

What surprised him was that even his mother-in-law was not outside the house.

Logically speaking, shouldn't she be half-lying in the corner at this time, shining the brightest light of the day on the Golden Crow Pearl, thereby saving physical energy and consumption!

For this reason, Li Ergou cursed angrily:

"This prodigal woman, doesn't she know that if she goes on a blind trip like this, she might have to cook an extra handful of millet at night? This is a sin."

At this moment, the broken wooden door of the small courtyard was pushed open.

Li Ergou's mother-in-law, Zhang Dani, walked in from the outside in a hurry. Her steps were so fast that even Li Ergou couldn't stand it.

I don’t know how many times I have told this old lady that when walking, you must take small steps to save energy.

It's just obvious that Zhang Dani didn't notice the increasingly ugly expression on Li Ergou's face today; or in other words, even if she saw it, she didn't take it seriously.

Because, something great is coming.

In comparison, what kind of thing is the bad temper of my own man?

Seeing Li Ergou's old face getting darker and darker, Zhang Dani shouted quickly: "Hurry up and clean up the house inside and outside. There must be no dust or dirt."

It seemed like a very ordinary thing, but it made poor Li Ergou tremble with fear.

He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the broom in his wife's hand; he asked extremely nervously:

"Da Nizi, are you crazy about hunger? Cleaning the house at this time is effortless, isn't it? Don't scare me, I'll cook for you quickly. I've got enough for today!"

Perhaps it was her man's rare nervousness and generosity that made Zhang Dani feel rarely happy.

She became very gentle and explained to her man: "Why am I crazy? It's the cow leader from the third alley next door. He might have gone crazy today."

"He actually asked everyone in the surrounding lanes one to five to start cleaning their homes. He said that if they pass the inspection later, each person can receive five kilograms of salted fish, the same kind he ate the night before."

When Li Ergou talked about the dreamy hot pot meal the night before yesterday, his saliva couldn't stop flowing...

How pitiful! He didn't know how many years it had been since he had had such a satisfying meal of meat, but the salted fish meat was still so delicious.

The sufficient amount of oil and water added in that meal was enough for Li Ergou not to eat the next day. After getting up this morning, he was still very energetic.

So, after hearing this news.

Li Ergou roared suddenly: "I don't care whether Leader Niu is crazy or not, I just want to know whether this matter is true or not."

As Li Ergou's husband and wife for many years, Zhang Dani can certainly understand the key points of the men's problems in her family.

Immediately, he patted his chest and answered affirmatively:

"Of course it's true. How could a leader like Niu, who is such an open-minded person, lie to everyone? Now there are a lot of salted fish piled up in his yard. It's so smelly and fishy that you can smell it from a long distance away. "

And Zhang Dani was surprised to find that before her voice had finished speaking, her man was already busy working quickly.

Moreover, he was still yelling: "What are you talking about, you bastards! If you don't hurry up, that's five pounds of meat!"

However, Zhang Dani suddenly remembered something and quickly added:

"That's right! Leader Niu also said that when the time comes, we will be ranked to see whose house is the cleanest. If the house ranked first is directly rewarded with twenty kilograms of salted fish."

‘Twenty pounds of salted fish’, this huge number was like a huge mountain, which made Li Ergou unable to breathe.

He took a few deep breaths and then told his mother-in-law with the same temperament and tone that he had when he was the leader of an action group in the Anti-Imperial Alliance:

"Go and call all five of them from the eldest to the fifth. Our Lao Li family must definitely win the first place this time..."

******

Because there were piles of salted fish in the courtyard of my home, I even hid in my room.

My beautiful little girl was still frowning because of the strong fishy smell, as if she had some objections to what she was doing.

Just looking at the surrounding area, all the neighbors were involved in intense cleaning activities.

Master Niu suddenly felt extremely proud; even if the little girl was acting out of character and giving him a small look from time to time, Master Niu didn't care at all...

The reason why Mr. Niu made such a big news was as follows:

As the saying goes, if you don't sweep one house, how can you sweep the world? If you are living in the anti-imperialist alliance, your life will be such a shabby and shabby way.

Mr. Niu can train them and then spread them as fire.

It is estimated that the effect of training can only be unsatisfactory; so Mr. Niu decided to realize the beautiful life of Sun City first.

The first step towards this goal is to improve the environment around his new home; it can be considered a good life, starting with sanitation work!

After all, to be honest, in such a crowded underground city.

The air was filled with various kinds of excrement and other mixed smells. After a while, even Mr. Niu couldn't stand it anymore.

Because he was a new arrival, Mr. Niu figured that even if he issued a mandatory order, no one would pay attention to him.

However, when Mr. Niu realized that these neighbors were very interested in the piles of salted fish in the portable space that were originally prepared for foodies.

Suddenly, Mr. Niu felt that there was no longer any problem with his plan.
