Scholars in the courtyard

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao returned home. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a piece of red paper on the ground, which made him feel strange.

When I picked it up and looked at it, I immediately laughed.

"This, my, fuck."

"Do you really have the nerve to send it here?"

Yang Xiaotao glanced at it, speechless.

Especially the last changes.

An egg was forced into the back of the original number two, turning it into twenty.

Looking at the crooked words, it seems that only Jia Zhang can do this.

"I really don't know where you got the courage?"

"You are treating yourself as a fool.'

‘I am the fool here. "

As he said that, he crumpled it into a ball and threw it out.

But then he thought about it, and a smirk appeared on his lips.

A moment later, Xiaowei flew back from the back window, and the invitation landed on the windowsill of Xu Damao's house.

Regardless of the disgusting things happening in the Jia family, Yang Xiaotao took out a piece of beef, cut it into strips with a Garuda knife, and prepared a pot of beef stew with tomatoes to make up for the lack of energy today.

While eating in the evening, I heard Xu Damao's yelling and yelling from the backyard, as well as Lou Xiao'e's persuading voice.

Mrs. Jia Zhang of the Intermediate Court has been paying attention to the situation of Yang Xiaotao's family. Seeing that Yang Xiaotao is not talking or making trouble, she has some expectations in her heart. If it really comes, won't the twenty yuan be hers?

As for paying back the money, that has to be done after he finds a wife.

Where would a child come from without a wife?

Jia Zhang was already sure that Yang Xiaotao could not find a wife, and the money he earned was in vain.

As for Xu Damao's shouts in the backyard, she didn't pay attention at all.

As she prepared to eat in a happy mood, Qin Huairu also felt strange that her mother-in-law was a little "kind" today.

She didn't know about Jia Zhang's sexy tricks. If she knew about it, she would definitely give her a big look and treat others as fools.

At the end of the month, Yang Xiaotao's salary was 47.5, and Jia Dongxu's was still 27.5. There was a difference of 20 yuan, and there was also a lot of difference in food stamps and so on.

Every time at this time, it is a difficult day for the Jia family.

Ever since Yang Xiaotao had more hair than Jia Dongxu, the family has never been happy.

People in the courtyard also make comparisons overtly and covertly. They are invisibly dwarfed, and voices mocking Qin Huairu for his lack of vision often appear.

In response to this, Jia Dongxu became furious but did not get angry. Who could make him dissatisfied?

Jia Zhang had no choice but to continue to curse and gain some benefits.

Qin Huairu didn't dare to think about it, because it made her heartache when she thought about it, so she could only focus on her son to find some psychological comfort.

But today, when Silly Zhu came back to the yard, he told Yang Xiaotao that he had rewarded Yang Xiaotao with a pound of pork, and depending on the leader's intention, it might happen again in the future. The people in the yard immediately started to pick up their mouths, and they were so sour. .

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao swaggered into the courtyard carrying pork, and the third uncle at the door never left his eyes.

Although he knew that Yang Xiaotao was exposed to meat every day, he only treated it as a meal and touched his lips.

Nowadays, buying meat requires not only money but also meat coupons, which is too much to give at one time.

So those who want to eat meat have to make two more trips.

Of course, you can also go to the pigeon market. Those with extraordinary skills can get a pig, as long as you have money.

However, you have to be sneaky and don't let anyone report you.

People like Yang Xiaotao, carrying a pound of white pork, swaggering through the market attracted a lot of attention.

"Xiao Tao, is this a reward?"

Yan Fugui had known about it for a long time, so he just asked more questions and started a conversation.

"Well, it's a reward from the workshop."

Yang Xiaotao replied, not wanting to say more, but Yan Fugui stepped forward and said, "Oh, this white meat accounts for more than half. Is there a piece of pig skin?"

"This can at least make two taels of oil. You can make a profit!"

Yan Fugui stared at the pork for a while, and Yang Xiaotao was helpless.

In fact, he wanted a thinner piece, but Wang Fa and others had to give it to him, no matter what.

This is also a characteristic of the times. When buying meat, it must be fat so that it can be eaten and extracted for oil.

Anyone who wants to lose weight by buying meat will either not be able to survive, or will be laughed at as a fool.

Yang Xiaotao could only hold his nose and accept the kindness of Wang Fa and others.

I thought it would be good to fry it and put it in an oil can when I got home and mix it with rice later.

"Xiao Tao, this lard is not made simply by boiling it. Aunt Qiansan..."

Yan Fugui spoke so enthusiastically that Yang Xiaotao knew the rest of the words after hearing the first half of the sentence. Without saying a word, he accelerated and walked directly around into the courtyard.

Behind him, Yan Fugui said half of what he said. He was so confused that he complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out.

Yang Xiaotao is different now from before. It is best not to offend such a calculating person.

Yang Xiaotao carried the meat and walked home amidst the envy of the people in the courtyard. He had just been paid, so naturally he wanted to reward him.

In his previous life, Yang Xiaotao would have been very disgusted with eating big meals after salary and instant noodles at the end of the month, and would find it difficult to accept this habit.

But when he came to this world, everything was like this, and he was not immune to it.

On weekdays, people around me eat steamed buns with pickles, pickles, noodles, and meat, but they have to wait until the holidays. Even if they can’t have a quick meal after getting paid, they still have to buy something good to keep the family’s stomach clear.

Now Yang Xiaotao naturally has no pressure on his own. When he has a family and children in the future, if he still wants to eat and drink happily like this, he will have to think carefully.

Of course, this is also the view of most people in the hospital.

So much so that under Yang Xiaotao's personal teachings, many young people do not want to get married too early and want to spend a few more years of single life.

Mrs. Jia Zhang watched Yang Xiaotao carrying the meat and walked home, thinking that tomorrow this guy would ask for 20 yuan as a share, and she felt happy in her heart.

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao fried the lard, ate a braised crucian carp, mixed the fat residue with two bowls of rice, read a book for a while, and then started to rest.

One night passed, and before I even got up, I heard the sound of thunder in the yard, and someone was saying this loudly, making it very noisy.

In the middle courtyard, Silly Zhu was dragged out of the house by Jia Zhang early in the morning to prepare for today's banquet.

In fact, Banggan's full moon will only arrive in three days, but Jia Zhang can't wait any longer.

The food they eat every day is almost gone. They eat whole grains every day, and their throats are cracking. It just so happened that Jia Dongxu just paid his salary yesterday. He has some money at home, so he used it to buy some vegetables and meat. He will take care of business today. , have a meal to satisfy your craving.

"Aunt Jia, there's no need to be so early."

While Shazhu was cleaning the pot, he picked up cooking utensils from home.

"Is this still early? The sun has already risen, so hurry up and get things done. There are going to be a lot of people coming today. Silly Zhu, you have to cheer up."

Jia Zhang, who had been very excited last night, had dark circles under her eyes and looked very anxious.

Silly Zhu sighed, took a breath, and picked it up helplessly.

"Zhuzi, I'm sorry to bother you today. When you finish at noon, come to my house for a drink in the evening!"

Qinhuai District came over with a stick in his arms, wearing a small white floral dress, wrapped the child tightly in a quilt, and stood there slim and graceful.

Last night when Mrs. Jia Zhang was talking about today's arrangements, she was also surprised that the day she told her family was next Monday, but her mother-in-law insisted that everyone would go to work on Monday and some people would not be able to come.

The implication is that if you wait until Monday, you may receive less money.

Besides, as long as you take part in the meal, you can open another table when the family comes over, and it won’t cost much.

"Hey, no problem!"

Silly Zhu looked at Qin Huairu, maybe he had just finished feeding, and there was still white milk in the corner of Banggan's mouth. Silly Zhu glanced down and couldn't help but glance down, and a shameful whiteness came into view at the half-opened collar.

Silly Zhu took a sip of saliva and lowered his head quickly when he saw Mrs. Jia and Zhang approaching, "Sister Qin, Aunt Jia, you finish the dishes, and I'll start the fire in a moment."

Qin Huairu nodded in agreement, but Jia Zhang on the side told Si Zhu, "Si Zhu, we are all in the same courtyard, don't act like a cook for me."

Silly Zhu was furious when he heard this. He cooked for your family for free and didn't add any condiments. Are you still disgusting?

Silly Zhu almost threw down the knife and quit, but when he saw Qin Huairu's appearance, he endured the anger again, ignored Jia Zhang, didn't say a word, and just chopped the cabbage vigorously.

Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't help, she just watched from the side and muttered, which made Silly Zhu very annoyed.

After a while, Jia Dongxu came back from outside, carrying three kilograms of pork in his hand. He got up early and went to the pigeon market to buy it. He spent two yuan more than normal, but he felt very distressed.

After handing the meat to Shazhu, Jia Dongxu began to borrow tables and chairs from various houses to prepare them in the courtyard.

And Mrs. Jia and Zhang never left each other, for fear that stupid people would spoil the pork.

After a while, the first uncle brought the first aunt over to help, and the third uncle also came with the whole family. Even the third aunt, who was still in confinement, sat with Xiao Yan Jiedi and Qin Huairu in her arms. He Yuyu, who was on vacation, was also there. A few people were teasing the two children, which was very lively.

The third uncle also has a job, which is to keep accounts. The Jia family is willing to pay fifty cents for this job, and he is happy to contribute.

Finally, the second uncle took official steps, led the second aunt and three sons over, sat at a table, and drank tea leisurely without paying attention to others.

Gradually, a lot of people gathered in the middle courtyard, but most of the people were watching the strange things, and only a few old ladies and young wives came to help.

Yang Xiaotao stood in the yard, chewing radishes, humming while looking at the busy scene in the yard.

"Xiao Tao!"

Looking up, Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen were neatly dressed next to them.

"Uncle, are you going out?"

"Ah, I went to my old brother's house for a drink today. We won't be back."

Uncle Chen looked at the scene in the courtyard, said something to Yang Xiaotao, and finally asked him.

"Do you want to come along?"

Yang Xiaotao waved his hands repeatedly and went by himself. Wouldn’t he miss this scene?

"You go, I'll look after the house."

Click click click

Yang Xiaotao gnawed on the radish, which was a bit spicy.

The old couple didn't say much. It was still early and there was nothing wrong with going out. If they left until the banquet was about to start, it would be a slap in the face.

The two of them walked through the central courtyard and went out without saying anything.

Then, after a while, someone came over and started to walk out.

The family members were still busy, and the people in the yard were all smiling when they were helping. I didn't notice that several families quietly closed their doors and walked out.

Yang Xiaotao found a bench and sat in the yard. He pinched the leftover radish roots and gently turned them around. He glanced around the yard with a smile on his face.

‘I once saw the orioles singing in the Jade Palace of Jinling. The flowers bloom early in Qinhuai Waterside Pavilion. ’

'Who knew it was easy to freeze!'

'Seeing him building a tall building, watching him entertaining guests, watching his building collapse.'

Turn around and go back to the house to prepare lunch.

Only when you have enough food and drink can you enjoy the show.
