Scholars in the courtyard

In the morning, Yang Xiaotao got up later than usual.

I can't help it, I'm tired these days.

Mr. Yang went to bed early last night. When Yang Xiaotao got up, he and Lao Tao came back from outside, carrying a bundle of fried dough sticks in their hands.

"Lao Zhang said that these old fried dough sticks should be paired with soy milk, and they will be good for your health. We both got up early and went to buy some."

The grandfather said and hung the fried dough sticks on the nail at the door. Every time during the New Year and festival, Yang Xiaotao would give him a modesty ticket. This was given to the elders and no one could tell.

But the elderly live in the village for food and housing and basically don't need them. Most of the money they spend is used to subsidize the school, buy some meat for the children to keep them healthy, and buy a notebook for the poor family.

Furthermore, I always bring some with me every time I come here, and the things I buy are all for children.

Zhang Laodao also smiled, "Brother, please don't touch my head. I just listen to what others say."

"But there are a lot of people like this in the entire Forty-Nine Cities, so they can't all lie to others."

Mr. Zhang laughed, and Mr. Yang smiled, "No matter who said it, I heard it from you anyway."

"Yes, you are sure."

Zhang Laodao smiled, and Yang Xiaotao stepped forward to clean up and welcome the two into the house. On the other side, Ran Qiuye also prepared breakfast, millet porridge and eggs.

This is considered the best breakfast for most people.

Ran Qiuye thought it was a bit luxurious at first. Who would eat eggs for breakfast? How much does it cost?

But Yang Xiaotao didn't care, he just went back to get the eggs since there were no more eggs at home.

Because of the benefits brought by cooking skills, there are ten pounds of eggs, ducks, and goose eggs every month. Not counting the four chickens that the family originally raised, two of them were given to Ran Qiuye for confinement, and the remaining two were Being raised by Ran's mother, she can now contribute two eggs every day, and Yang Xiaotao buys some from outside from time to time. The eggs in this house, in Zhang Laodao's words, are enough to hatch chicks.

After breakfast was set, Yang Xiaotao arranged for the two of them to sit down in the room and prepare to eat.

"Master, old man, sit down."

While Yang Xiaotao was talking, the old man smiled and took out a newspaper from his sleeve.

"Look, people are shouting and selling newspapers in the city this morning. It's all about your machine factory."

Zhang Laodao handed the newspaper over. Mr. Yang had already read it and was smiling from ear to ear.

At first, he didn't know the specific situation. He just thought it was an honor that his grandson was in the newspaper again.

But after listening to the old man's explanation, I realized that my grandson had done something big.

So this is how I bought fried dough sticks.

"These people can't be shown their faces!"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the picture on the front page of the newspaper. It was the picture of Mr. Huang and the others inspecting the semi-automatic milling machine.

It's just that he happened to be explaining the situation to Mr. Xia sideways, so he only showed half of his face.

When Ran Qiuye heard the news, he wiped his hands and came over to watch. Yang Xiaotao handed the newspaper over, "I guess there will be a broadcast later."

Ran Qiuye smiled, picked up the newspaper and read it carefully for a while, then walked into the room and took out a square iron box, which was filled with newspapers she had cut out.

Of course, the main content is Yang Xiaotao's.

Use scissors to cut down the relevant content, especially the information about Yang Xiaotao, leaving no one missing.

At this moment, there was movement in the room, Yang Xiaotao smiled, "Don't think about it, it must be this girl Xiaosan."

The grandfather laughed and said, "This kid is energetic."

Zhang Laodao also stroked his beard and said, "These three children of your family are all blessed with deep blessings."

Yang Xiaotao glanced at him and said, "You bastard, please stop hitting my children."

"Infinite Heavenly Lord."

"Infinite size."

Yang Xiaotao said something, walked into the house, and then came out a moment later. He carried the arrogant little San Rongrong into the yard and peed. The little guy grunted and refused to lie down, and looked around with wide eyes. With.

Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to sit far away with his arms. The master reached out to take it, broke off some fried dough sticks, ordered some rice porridge, and put it next to Xiaosan's mouth.

When the little guy saw the food, he immediately rubbed it with toothbrush, grinding it bit by bit, and stretched out his arms and waved twice from time to time, as if he was exerting himself.

The grandfather and the old man laughed and took it away when they saw that she couldn't eat. Unexpectedly, when the little guy saw that the food on his lips was gone, he immediately put his chin forward and started crying.

"This girl still wants to eat, haha."

The grandfather smiled, quickly soaked the fried dough sticks again, and put them to his mouth.

I stopped crying immediately.

Yang Xiaotao was also helpless. Each of his three children seemed to eat better than the other.

I thought the Dragon Boat Festival would be enough, but after the two came out, Ran Qiuye's food reserves were not enough for the two children Huo Huo.

So much so that he no longer dares to snatch their food rations.

"It seems that I have to feed you milk powder."

When Yang Xiaotao saw Ran Qiuye coming out holding his second child Yueyue, Yang Xiaotao knew that another big eater had arisen.

Stepping forward to take the second child, Ran Qiuye went to dress the eldest child.

"It's a blessing to be able to eat, haha. Only if you can eat can you grow."

The master said happily, Zhang Laodao nodded, teasing Wangcai who was constantly walking around.

"What kind of wealth does your family have?"

Watching Wangcai turn around in a circle, he ran to the side again and followed the little Dragon Boat Festival, wagging his tail.

Yang Xiaotao was crushing a piece of egg and feeding it to Yueyue little by little, "What breed? A native dog."

"A native dog? Your native dog looks like a cow and is so smart. Boy, don't fool me."

"Then what did you say it was?"

"Isn't this asking you?"

"I don't know, it was just a local dog when I picked it up outside."

The old man stopped talking. It was useless to say anything more.

"Good dog."

Woof~

Suddenly, Wangcai raised his head and looked at the Moon Gate, and a deep voice sounded.

Yang Xiaotao looked up and saw a figure coming out of the Moon Gate and walking slowly outside the courtyard.

Liu Guangqi!

Yang Xiaotao glanced at it and recognized who it was.

This was the first time he had seen him in a while.

People have changed.

They don't look big, but their temperaments are very different.

In the past, I was the guy who shrank around Liu Haizhong and had no sense of presence.

Maybe this has something to do with Liu Haizhong's tutoring style, or maybe it has something to do with his personality.

In short, he just doesn't like to talk.

But being less talkative does not mean that you are less thoughtful.

After several years of contact, in Yang Xiaotao's eyes, he was the most preoccupied person in the hospital.

Everything is hidden in the mind and cannot be seen on the outside.

But now, the confidence Liu Guangqi showed when he walked and the smile on his face undoubtedly no longer told people in the courtyard that Liu Guangqi had changed.

Liu Guangqi, who walked out of the Moon Gate, also spotted Yang Xiaotao and the others. He glanced at Yang Xiaotao from one side of his face, raised the corners of his mouth and nodded.

Yang Xiaotao ignored it and looked at Liu Guangqi with cold eyes.

Wangcai told him last time that this guy is not as sunny as he looks.

Since he has bad thoughts towards his family, how could Yang Xiaotao be so cowardly with such a person?

Liu Guangqi glanced away from Yang Xiaotao's serious look and immediately turned his head. He could feel Yang Xiaotao's hostility. This unwarranted hostility made him feel even more psychological.

It was only after walking out of the middle courtyard that I calmed down. After thinking about it, there was no problem, so I continued walking with peace of mind.

boom

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

When he was distracted, Liu Guangqi bumped into someone at the corner of the front door.

He said subconsciously, looking up at the person coming.

"no problem, no problem."

The visitor had his eyes narrowed and a warm smile on his face.

Liu Guangqi quickly smiled and said, "I was distracted by my thoughts just now. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, we're going a little faster."

"It's fine. Are you looking for someone?"

When Liu Guangqi saw the person behind him holding a briefcase, he turned his eyes and asked enthusiastically.

"Oh, we are looking for Comrade Yang Xiaotao, who are you?"

"Ah, I'm a resident of the backyard, and I'm getting ready to go to work."

"Comrade Yang Xiaotao is in the courtyard!"

"Okay, I won't delay you any longer."

"It's okay, it's okay, you're busy."

Liu Guangqi said politely, turned around and walked out of the door.

"Let's go."

After looking at Liu Guangqi's back for a while, Director Yu had an inexplicable feeling.

"Xiaobo, wait until you get back and check this person."

Xiaobo was stunned, looked at the direction Liu Guangqi disappeared, and agreed.

"Yes, Director."

The two came to the hanging flower door and entered the yard.

"Huh?"

Yang Xiaotao saw the person coming when Director Yu appeared.

I was also mentally disturbed.

It seems that every time this beauty appears, she is in a lot of trouble.

Last time, he was almost beaten, but it made him mentally wary for a while.

Even driving is not as fast as before, for fear that an old man will come out and lie on the ground.

"Qiuye, take the child back to the house."

When Yang Xiaotao saw the beautiful girl, he came straight over and asked Ran Qiuye to carry the child into the house.

When Ran Qiuye saw outsiders coming, he immediately stepped forward to give birth to the child and called Duanwu into the house.

"Director Yu, it's so early in the morning, so few people are here."

Director Yu sat aside with a smile, greeted Mr. Yang, and nodded to Mr. Zhang.

He has a clear conscience about the people in this courtyard.

Of course, except for the person who just went out.

"I came here specifically to get some food. I was woken up in the middle of the night, and now I'm still hungry."

Director Yu said familiarly, picking up the fried dough sticks on the table and taking a bite.

Yang Xiaotao was speechless. Just watching him take out a book from his bag, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Daughter-in-law, bring two bowls of porridge."

In the room, Ran Qiuye quickly brought out two bowls of porridge after hearing this. Director Yu and Xiaobo quickly took them, very politely.

"Did you accept this mission?"

Yang Xiaotao handed the egg to Xiaobo and tried to ask.

Director Yu took a sip of porridge and nodded, then picked up the eggs on the table.

"No, the urgent notice in the middle of the night has to be completed within a time limit."

"Then why don't you go check it out quickly?"

Yang Xiaotao was speechless. Director Yu finished the meal in two or three bites and clapped his hands. He did not shy away from Mr. Yang and the others and spoke directly, "I have to come and ask you why you started this matter."

"Why did I start it? It's like I'm looking for a job for you."

"Is not it?"

"This is your job, okay?"

"Ahem"

The master coughed twice, and Yang Xiaotao stopped talking, and finally said firmly, "You can do whatever you want this time, don't expect me to cover you."

"Last time it caused me a psychological shadow."

Director Yu shook his head, "Don't worry, I just understand the situation this time and it's none of your business."

"It's best this way."

After the two of them finished eating, Yang Xiaotao took them to the study and told them what they had reported yesterday.

After listening, Director Yu pondered for a moment, "In other words, ordinary people can't find the problems in these books, right?"

Yang Xiaotao took an apple and threw it over, then gnawed it himself.

"It's not ordinary people, even ordinary experts and professors. If they don't think about it, they won't be able to find it."

"We bumped into each other by accident. If it hadn't been for this, I probably wouldn't have discovered it."

Director Yu held the apple and kept turning it in his hand, "True and false. True and false are among the true. It's the hardest to find."

"And the one false point out of the nine points just holds the lifeline."

"The person who did this is an expert."

Yang Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Yes, I can't be so secretive without some Taoism."

Director Yu nodded, "I understand the general situation, but if anything happens, I will come to you for help in the future."

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes, "Next time you come to ask for help, remember to bring something with you. Don't leave empty-handed."

Director Yu stood up and walked out, "Don't worry, I'll bring wine next time."
