Scholars in the courtyard

"It's that bitch."

Silly Zhu's eyes widened suddenly, and he finally remembered who the familiar voice was, Liu Guangqi.

"That's the turtle grandson."

"Why was he beaten? Wasn't he the one who got beaten?"

"Collect? Guns? This guy is actually an enemy agent!"

Thinking that Liu Guangqi had grown up together, although this incident made him angry and annoyed, Shazhu never thought that this guy would betray the people.

However, thinking that Liu Guangqi was an enemy agent, Sha Zhu always felt an inexplicable joy in his heart.

Just like knowing whether your love rival has cancer or whether it is terminal, victory will come sooner or later.

However, after I figured it out, my body became excited.

"Damn it, I knew you didn't hold it in."

Staring at the weeds, he thought carefully.

In the past, Liu Guangqi was a little transparent person who followed the second uncle. Later, he heard that he ran away from home because of a conflict with his family because of a woman. But who knows about this?

Thinking about it now, he probably rebelled at that time.

Even the second uncle’s family is suspected.

Silly Zhu thought about why Liu Haizhong always insisted on being an official in the past. He must have wanted to climb to a higher position so that it would be easier to obtain intelligence information.

"That must be it."

Silly Zhu was convinced that no one in the second uncle’s family was normal.

"If so, I go and arrest Liu Guangqi and send him in. Wouldn't that be a great achievement?"

Lying in the haystack, the wind outside blew in, but Silhu felt hot all over.

Just because of the labor camp incident, he has become a scourge in the eyes of others.

Just because of his poor background, the Jia Zhang family in the courtyard stood in the way, making it impossible for him to get close to Qin Huairu.

Everything is because of this damn labor camp.

I can't go home, and I still have to do menial work. Even if I make a table for others, I still have to look at their mood.

How long will these frustrating days last?

But if you capture an enemy agent, it will definitely be a great achievement.

Thinking of this, Silly Zhu loosened his hands and then clenched them again.

But another voice suddenly sounded, it was Yang Xiaotao that Liu Guangqi wanted to deal with.

Who is Yang Xiaotao?

That's his stupid enemy.

There are many more enemies than Xu Damao.

He could still have the upper hand against Xu Damao.

But against Yang Xiaotao, neither his ability to make money nor his ability to fight was good.

If Liu Guangqi is more capable of killing Yang Xiaotao, then...

Silly Zhu suddenly had the urge to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

"No, that's not right."

As soon as this idea came out, Shazhu rejected it himself.

Let's not talk about whether Liu Guangqi can succeed. With Yang Xiaotao's evil luck, Liu Guangqi probably can't do anything.

But if that were the case, it would be like letting this opportunity go.

I missed this perfect opportunity to make a comeback.

"No, I, He Yuzhu, don't need to rely on others."

"With all my abilities, He Yuzhu, I only need fairness."

"As long as there is fairness, I can turn around and become a human being."

Silly Zhu took a deep breath and put Yang Xiaotao's matter aside. He was determined and wanted to go out immediately, find Liu Guangqi and catch him.

He was confident in this, even if Liu Guangqi was so stubborn, he could do it with just one hand.

However, Silly Zhu was able to hold back and kept himself still, still lying inside.

Although he knew that the people outside had left, there was no guarantee that they would not come back.

What if?

The other party has a gun.

gun?

Silly Zhu trembled suddenly.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch the only remaining one, which was also his last symbol of being a man.

Last time, it was just a broken gun. It obviously didn't do anything to me, but it hit me in the wrong direction.

Fortunately, he hit the vital point without death. Fortunately, he only picked one out and left one for him to use.

If we meet again this time.

Silly Zhu shivered again.

"You can't go, it's too dangerous."

"Then, go and report it."

Silly Zhu finally made up his mind and took a look at the dark haystack. Silly Zhu decided to wait a little longer and then go to Sijiu City to report Liu Guangqi.

"This time, we must turn over."

Silly Zhu touched the only remaining one, imagining the scene after the meritorious service in his mind.

However, when I thought of Qin Huairu's decisive look, I couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Without Qin Huairu, there is still Qin Jingru."

At this moment, Silly Zhu finally figured it out.

Siheyuan

When the sun just rises, the yard becomes lively.

Today, January 1, 1965, is New Year’s Day.

Similarly, it is also a day when everyone in the courtyard is in the limelight.

I saw a TV set at Yang's house last night. The TV set was the most talked about thing at home.

If Yang Xiaotao hadn't said that someone would come to install the antenna for the TV today, I would have taken the bench to Yang's house to line up.

As for whether Yang Xiaotao will let everyone see it, it goes without saying. One person will see it, and two people will see it. Besides, the Yang family is not stingy.

With the money Yang Xiaotao earns, the electricity bill is nothing.

Yang family

Yang Xiaotao got up from the bed, and his wife was preparing breakfast.

There was a lot of fun at Wang Dashan's house last night, and it was already midnight when I came back.

Even so, the two of them still exercised on the bed, and Yang Xiaotao didn't know what time it was when they finally went to bed.

But looking at Ran Qiuye's energetic appearance, all his hard work was not in vain.

Get up, get dressed, and the little Dragon Boat Festival is still sleeping with its butt stuck out.

As for the sisters, they wake up on time at six o'clock every day, which is better than the alarm clock.

The two children were already dressed, and Ran Qiuye surrounded them with a quilt. They were turning over and crawling around.

Only being blocked by the quilt, the two little ones couldn't get out, so they could only let out a groan or two from time to time to vent their dissatisfaction.

Yang Xiaotao got dressed, washed his face, and then prepared to eat.

"Is someone coming to install it today? They don't have a holiday on New Year's Day?"

At the dinner table, Ran Qiuye looked at the TV set on the cupboard, flashing with excitement from time to time.

Yang Xiaotao picked up an egg, rubbed it on the table, then peeled off the skin, crushed a piece of egg white and put it in Dragon Boat Festival's mouth.

"The salesperson over there said it. I left my address and said I would come today to help install it."

"I'll make a cover later and put it on top to save dust."

Ran Qiuye looked back at the radio nearby. There was also a cover on it, but this TV was larger and made of more fabric.

However, compared to this bit of cloth, the TV is obviously more precious.

Yang Xiaotao was noncommittal after hearing this.

Although televisions are a precious thing these days, Yang Xiaotao, who comes from a later generation, can never get that sense of excitement.

Maybe you are used to seeing color TVs, tablets, computers, mobile phones, etc., and you no longer have the feeling you should have for this kind of old-fashioned TV.

It is precisely because of this that even if it has been six or seven years since I came to this world, when facing certain things, I can always maintain a calmness that is unique to ordinary people.

Just like this TV, after Yang Xiaotao brought it back, it was only novel for a while, and even disappeared after buying it and paying the money.

After taking it home, I didn't feel much excitement when I put it there. In the eyes of the people in the courtyard, this is just a pattern and a vision.

"By the way, did you give me the invoice for buying the TV?"

Ran Qiuye asked, Yang Xiaotao stood up and took out an envelope from his backpack, then sat down and continued to eat. Xiao Duanwu didn't know how to use a spoon at this time, so he had to be fed when he ate, but he was not honest and got a mouthful of millet porridge.

"Is this an invoice? Is this a TV ticket? Are you coming back too?"

"Well, anyway, they're just a matter of level numbers and stamps. I think this is our first TV, it's meaningful, and it's coming back. I'll keep it for future viewing."

Ran Qiuye smiled and nodded, then took these things to the study and found a wooden box. Inside were the honorary awards, certificates and letters of certification for large purchases that Yang Xiaotao had received over the years.

A thick stack.

Looking at these, Ran Qiuye knew how rich this family was.

"By the way, I'll go out to find a long piece of wood later."

"What's the wood for?"

"Don't you understand? This TV needs to receive signals. Although we are in the city, the signal may not be stable, so we need an antenna."

Ran Qiuye didn't understand, "Is this what others said?"

"It goes without saying, I know it myself."

Ran Qiuye nodded, she knew what her man did was correct.

"By the way, Uncle Zhang in the backyard has been gone for so many days, and I don't know when he will come back."

Ran Qiuye asked, Yang Xiaotao counted the days, it must have been more than a week.

It shouldn't take so many days to get home.

"Maybe he's going home to see his relatives. I guess he'll be back soon."

"Yeah. It's freezing cold here. It's not easy to go home."

Yang Xiaotao lowered his head, he couldn't tell Ran Qiuye that he asked the old man to go back.

South of Sijiu City, thousands of miles away.

In front of the dilapidated mountain temple, the old Taoist stood in front of the door with only the door frame remaining and bowed respectfully three times.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord."

"Disciple, let's go away. The emperor, the emperor, the queen, the earth, the gods bless you."

The old Taoist expression was solemn. Although his body was covered with dirt, he stood in the cold wind without moving at all.

The beard is flying, but the eyes are blurred.

Behind him were Wang Hao and the convoy driver who were accompanying him this time. In addition, there were local comrades.

Three days ago, they came here. After taking out the certificate issued by the machinery factory, and after a series of confirmations, the local government sent people to accompany them here.

Arriving at the long-awaited ‘home’.

The mountain gate in front of me has long been changed, and the walls are in ruins. Except for the vague wall and the door that has not collapsed, everything else is gone.

The moment he returned home, Lao Dao's heart calmed down.

Step inside and look for the memories of the past.

"There used to be a lot of things here, but the surrounding villagers."

The village party secretary who came with him looked at the empty yard and said with emotion.

For these "high-ranking officials" who came from the 49th City Machinery Factory, they were emphatically told that they must cooperate well.

Especially since the village knew that the Red Star tractor and those farm tools were made by someone else, they even sent someone to help.

The old Taoist also knows that in those years, life was not easy and people struggled to survive. It is good that this temple can stay.

He walked forward and came to the lobby, where his master led him to do morning lessons.

But now.

The old man looked at the empty sky above his head and shook his head helplessly.

‘Sacrificing yourself for others is the way to go. ’

Thinking in his heart, the old Taoist will no longer stop.

This is just a place for cultivating the mind. It’s a joy to have it, but it’s okay not to have it.

"It should be in the back."

The old man said to Wang Hao and the others, then walked across the messy lobby and walked to the back.

Several people quickly followed.

"Comrade Wang, what are you looking for?"

People from the countryside followed Wang Hao. Looking at the gun case on Wang Hao's waist, it was clear that this comrade had a good background.

"I don't know what I'm doing as ordered."

Wang Hao replied that he had received the task from Yang Xiaotao to follow Comrade Zhang Dedao here to pick up something.

As for what it is, only Zhang Dedao knows.

Just looking at the current situation, that thing should be in this Po Tao Temple, but I don’t know if it is still there.

The few people said nothing and followed Lao Dao forward.

After a while, Lao Dao stopped and looked at the collapsed house in front of him with a serious expression.

"Team Leader Zhang, is this here?"

The old man closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "I don't know if the things inside are still there."

As he spoke, he nodded to the people behind him and walked in first.

The house was not big and the walls were dark. Wang Hao picked up a flashlight and shined it inside.

However, he found the old Taoist standing in front of an earthen pillar. Wang Hao stepped forward and looked at it carefully.

"Give me the hammer."

As the old Taoist said, someone immediately handed the hammer to him behind him.

The old man walked to the side, stretched out his hand to touch the earthen pillar, and then, while everyone was surprised, he hit it on the pillar.

Bang bang

Pieces of soil were smashed away, gradually revealing the true appearance inside.

It's empty inside.

"I come."

Seeing that the old Taoist was struggling, Wang Hao stepped forward to take the hammer.

"Don't use force, hit it gently."

"The things inside are not resistant to smashing."

The old Taoist fanned the dust in front of him and gave careful instructions.

Wang Hao nodded, and slowly smashed under the command of the veteran.

Half an hour later.

The earthen pillars had been knocked clean, revealing their contents.

Wang Hao gasped and looked at the big guy in front of him. It looked like a big tank, but it was larger and had a mud lid on it.

"Team Leader Zhang, is this what you are looking for?"

Several people around were also surprised. After being here for so long, they didn't expect that there was a treasure hidden inside.

The village chief and the villagers looked at each other and decided to carefully check these old buildings after they left. Maybe there might be something good hidden in the walls and pillars.

Zhang Laodao stroked the 'Alchemy Furnace' in front of him and nodded solemnly.

"This is the purpose of our trip."

"That guy Yang Xiaotao wants something."

"He has worked hard for so long on this trip. I must give him a good beating when I get back, or else we will be sorry for our hard work."

As he spoke, the joy of completing the task allowed the old Taoist to dispel the previous heaviness.

This is the master's 'relic'. Taking it back can also commemorate the memory of the old friend, and at the same time make a contribution to the revolutionary construction.

"But this, it must be a few hundred kilograms at least. How are we going to do it?"

Wang Hao asked in shock.

Zhang Laodao's stroking hand suddenly stopped, and he raised his head in confusion, "Yes, how to continue?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Siheyuan

Yang Xiaotao came back from outside, carrying a wooden pole four to five meters long and as thick as an arm on his shoulder, and holding a newspaper in his hand.

The front page above is naturally about the martial arts competition in the machinery factory. The photos are from the awards ceremony. The biggest one is the photo of him and the old man.

In line with the principle of collection, Yang Xiaotao bought a copy and planned to put it at home so that he could read it in the future.

Of course, this matter has been published in the newspapers, so it won't be long before it spreads throughout the country.

The competition of skills and the enviable rewards mentioned above will probably make those capable workers in the country see it, and they will feel unconvinced.

If it is organized again next year, it is estimated that more people will participate.

It will probably be difficult for him to come out on top again.

After all, this is an era where strange people emerge in large numbers.

"One is enough, you have to be content."

Thinking in his mind, he walked into the yard carrying a wooden stick and saw Ran Hongbing playing in the yard holding the Dragon Boat Festival, followed by a group of children in the yard.

When he saw Yang Xiaotao, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother-in-law, when can I watch TV?"

Yang Xiaotao leaned the pole against the wall, "It's been debugged today and you can watch it."

"Oh, you can watch TV now."

Ran Hongbing smiled, while Wang Xiaohu and others cheered, and the laughter spread far and wide in the yard.

Yang Xiaotao walked into the house. Many people in the family were sitting. Ran's mother helped to look at the sisters, and Ran Qiuye was greeting a few people.

In addition, there were several ladies sitting in front of the hot stove with small stools, each busy with their needlework.

Ran Qiuye placed the finished cover next to the TV. Liu Yuhua and Lou Xiaoe were chatting and laughing next to it. It was lively like a supply and marketing cooperative.

Yang Xiaotao felt that there was almost no place to stay.

Fortunately, the study is an important place of the Yang family, and no one has entered it yet.

"Brother Tao, what are you doing with such a long pole?"

Zhou Peng also brought his wife over to watch TV. Now he is registered as a team leader at an auto repair shop. He makes a lot of money. He also has a wife in his life. He is going to be a father soon. He is seeing his whole person become mature.

I also participated in the competition this time, but unfortunately my skills were not good enough, so I won a participation award, an enamel jar.

Because of this, Zhou's mother scolded her at home.

"You'll find out soon."

Yang Xiaotao didn't explain either, mainly because it was too troublesome to explain anything.

In the eyes of everyone, Yang Xiaotao walked to the TV. He bought it last night and put it here. He still hadn't figured out the buttons on the TV.

I pulled out an instruction manual from the drawer under the kitchen. It was just a few pieces of paper, but the switch positions were clearly marked.

Several people around him came over and watched carefully, touching the TV from time to time.

After connecting the power supply, Yang Xiaotao turned on the switch according to the instructions.

In an instant, a line appeared on the TV screen, followed by gray snowflakes.

"It's on, the TV is on."

People around him shouted, and everyone came over to watch.

Yang Xiaotao was speechless. There was nothing, just a snowflake. What was there to see?

But he also knew that this novelty, even if it was lit up, could excite people for a long time.

Yang Xiaotao followed the instructions and found the stage.

In my previous life, I had a black-and-white TV at home, but at that time, I was in a rural area and needed an antenna to receive the signal. Moreover, my family lived on the edge of the city, so the station in the next city was the clearest.

This is also the reason why Yang Xiaotao came back with a wooden pole.

At this time, it is difficult to say that the signal in Sijiu City will be good.

snap, snap, snap

Yang Xiaotao twisted and changed the channel, but every time he passed, there was a snowflake.

Finally, I turned back to the original station, but there was still nothing.

"It should be that there is no signal, or it needs to be debugged."

Yang Xiaotao sat and summarized, but he understood the buttons, including which one was for changing channels and which one for adjusting volume.

"Let's do this for now, wait until someone comes."

Yang Xiaotao turned off the TV casually. Everyone couldn't help but feel disappointed, but they soon started chattering about how good the TV looked.

Yang Xiaotao looked at Ran Qiuye's excited expressions and shook his head speechlessly.

That's it, does it look good?

"Xiao Tao, the comrade who repairs the TV is here."

Yan Fugui's voice came from outside the house. Yang Xiaotao quickly put down the manual and everyone moved out of the way.

Then I saw a young man wearing a coat and carrying a tool box walking in.

"Who is Comrade Yang Xiaotao? I am an installer at the TV factory."

"Hello comrade, I am Yang Xiaotao."

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and greeted him politely.

"Hello, just call me Xiao Zhang. This is your TV."

Xiao Zhang took off his coat, and Zhou Peng quickly stepped forward to take over.

"Yes, I just bought it last night. It's New Year's Day and it's really troublesome for you to make a trip."

"You're welcome. We are here to serve the people. Let me show it to you. Let's debug it and it will be fine soon."

Xiao Zhang said as he came to the TV, turned on the TV, tinkered with it for a while, then picked up the tools and started debugging.

After a while, I took out a few aluminum tubes and wires and assembled them in the house.

"Okay, it should be fine."

Xiao Zhang glanced at the TV being adjusted and said to the people around him.

Yang Xiaotao watched from the side and asked questions from time to time during the whole process.

This 'big ass' TV contains most electron tubes. During the debugging, Yang Xiaotao could see clearly that there were many capacitors inside. Fortunately, Master Zhang had good skills and clearly remembered the function of each capacitor and component. Yang Xiaotao also remembered In the heart.

After Xiao Zhang finished adjusting the TV, Yang Xiaotao felt that if there were enough parts, he could install it.

Perhaps, this is an illusion.

"Open it quickly and take a look."

Lou Xiao'e had a strange look on her face. She went home last night and told her father about the competition in the machinery factory. While Ran's father lamented the progress of the workers and the prosperity of the country, he was also impressed that Yang Xiaotao could stand out at such a young age.

Finally, when it came to the television, Ran's father was surprised, but he also knew the current level in the country.

Television can only be regarded as the beginning, and its viewing value is greater than its practicality.

There are only a few programs, and not many people can watch them. Whether they can watch them or not is a matter of debate.

Lou Xiao'e didn't believe it, so she came over today to see if she could watch the TV.

Xiao Zhang nodded and then turned on the switch.

The TV suddenly made a squeaking sound, and everyone quickly covered their ears.

Xiao Zhang quickly turned down the volume.

Then he smiled sheepishly and looked at the time.

"Comrade Yang, our TV channels are limited now. There are only a few that can be received in Sijiucheng. Among them, the channel in Sijiucheng has the best signal."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, understanding more or less the current situation.

With such a small number of televisions, how many TV stations can there be?

And the quality of current TV series can be seen by just looking at the current movies...

Needless to say.

However, they are not all without merit. At least the current actors are really dedicated.

Unlike those messy ones in later generations, such as those who had plastic surgery or those who were effeminate, and even their genders were unclear.

Today’s television culture still belongs to the people.

"It doesn't matter, just find someone to look at!"

Yang Xiaotao does not have high requirements for this.

"No problem. It's past 11:10 now. Channel 49 will broadcast news every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 11:30 to 12 o'clock. You can see the picture after a while!"

"Station 49, we've heard this on the radio too."

"What about other times? What programs are there?"

Lou Xiao'e listened curiously and spoke.

Xiao Zhang nodded and said with some pride, "There's a lot more to this."

"Today is New Year's Day, which is considered a holiday. There should be a movie at about 8 o'clock in the evening. It seems to be No. 51 Depot."

"Depot No. 51? That's great. I didn't get enough of it last time. The part between the little boss and Section Chief Ma was really exciting."

Some people on the side were immediately excited and had already thought about coming early tonight to get a good place here.

Yang Xiaotao suddenly raised his head, "Do you think movies can be played on this?"

"Yes, why not? TV is just about moving what's on the screen. Our TV series have developed quite a lot over the years."

The people around him were even more happy after hearing this, "Then you can watch movies more often in the future?"

"What are you thinking about? Watching TV doesn't consume electricity. You can still watch it every day. You are so beautiful."

Someone around him immediately retorted, but everyone knew that in the case of Yang Xiaotao's family, if you can buy a TV that costs three to four hundred yuan, why bother about the electricity bill?

Yang Xiaotao knew what everyone meant and didn't say anything about it.

He doesn't care, but that doesn't mean he is willing to let a bunch of people come to the house.

Every day, they no longer want to live together as husband and wife.

Moreover, there will be many people in later generations who become short-sighted and delay their studies and work because of watching TV.

You have to make a schedule and don't hurt everyone's eyes.

Yang Xiaotao was calculating silently.

Xiao Zhang continued, "There are many good things to watch. Children like to watch the cartoons that are broadcast every Saturday at 6 o'clock. The tadpoles looking for their mothers and the kittens fishing are quite good."

"In addition, some stations will also have TV programs after eight o'clock."

"television?"

"Yes, I was playing a vegetable pancake a few days ago."

Xiao Zhang said, letting the people in the courtyard feel the most cutting-edge cultural influence.

The time soon reached 11:30, Xiao Zhang quickly turned the TV, and then after a burst of snowflakes appeared on the screen, a picture suddenly appeared.

It was a dignified-looking girl with a straight face. The girl's upper body appeared on the TV.

The sound amplified and could be heard throughout the room.

"This is the 49-city TV news broadcast program. First of all, I would like to wish everyone a happy New Year."

"The following is"

As the sound came out, and as the picture played, there was a burst of excited shouts from the Yang family's house.

People outside couldn't get in, so they lay down on the windows and watched. Although they were just blurry figures, they still felt novel.

Ran Qiuye, Lou Xiaoe and others looked at the female announcer with longing expressions.

"Look, it's a machinery factory."

Suddenly someone shouted, and then I saw some people appearing on the screen. If I looked carefully, it was the scene of the Machinery Factory Skills Conference.

"That's Mr. Yang."

Lou Xiao'e's eyes were sharp and she immediately shouted out.

"Oh, my man is also up there."

Liu Yuhua also shouted.

But at this time, Zhou Kui's eyes widened in disbelief, "I, I, am on TV?"

Mother Zhou next to her was even more excited and smiled at Mother Ran.

But Ran's mother was happier than she was, and her son-in-law took longer to appear.

"And me, look, oops, it went by so fast."

"See if I'm there."

"Yes, I'm here too."

Someone was shouting immediately inside and outside the house, and the sound could not even be heard from inside.

"Don't shout, listen carefully and be quiet."

"Anyone who wants to mess around again should stop watching."

Yan Fugui's eyes shone, and he showed the aura of a courtyard man to keep people quiet.

At the same time, I also set a mental goal to buy a TV in the future.

If nothing else, just because there are so many people in the courtyard watching together, with this popularity, will no one listen to me in the future?

Outside the hospital, Banggeng was lying at the door, looking in the direction of the Yang family.

There was a cross on top of the tall piece of wood, and two wires were pulled out from the bottom. The people in the courtyard explained that this thing can receive signals and make the TV make sounds and villains appear.

Banggeng glanced at the people standing at the door of the Yang family who laughed from time to time, as well as the group of children about his age, with envy on their faces.

Especially when I heard the sound coming from inside, I was even more curious.

If it weren't for the two big dogs outside the yard, he would have run over to see what was going on.

"Mom, when will we have a TV at home?"

Banggeng looked at Qin Huairu who was cooking silently and asked enviously.

Qin Huairu touched her cheek and remained silent.

She heard that it cost more than three hundred yuan to buy such a TV, which was a huge sum of money for their family.

If she were left to earn it, there would be no hope in ten or eight years.

Of course, this is just money, and tickets are more precious than money.

Qin Huairu didn't say anything. Jia Zhang was cursing at the side, "What are you watching? It's just a few things. If there's nothing interesting to watch, you might as well watch a movie."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu Damao walking out of the Moon Gate pushing his bicycle.

BangGeng curled his lips and said, "Movies are not as good as TV."

"TV is definitely better than movies."

Xu Damao was pushing the cart out. Today, on New Year's Day, he had made an appointment to show someone a movie at night. Now, he would go and set it up first, put the machine away, and then just go there in the evening.

Drop by the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some meat and vegetables, and come back for a good meal in the evening.

Xu Damao felt happy when he thought that he would be free to work hard for his children tonight.

Just when I came out of the Moon Gate, I heard the sound of stick sticks.

Xu Damao didn't bother to pay attention after hearing this. What does a little kid know?

With his one eye, can he see something good?

Last night, he and his wife analyzed it in bed for most of the night.

On the differences, pros and cons, and future development trends between movies and television, etc.

It was a thorough comparison and analysis, inside and out, from the size gap between the two parties, the size of the characters, to the quality of the program.

Now, he already has a definite answer in his heart.

That is, TV is not as good as movies.

Looking to the left of Yang's house, a group of people were waiting at the door, not afraid of the cold.

Isn't it just a TV? Does it need to be so enthusiastic?

I originally thought about showing a movie in the courtyard during the Chinese New Year, but now.

snort.

There are no good movies on TV.

Xu Damao was disdainful.

Yang Xiaotao spent so much money to buy a TV and put it in his home. What else could he do other than watch the excitement and stand out?

Can you make money?

He, Xu Damao, showed movies, which was always a benefit, he ate for free, and he also had a lot of face.

Can Yang Xiaotao carry the TV out?

joke.

It’s something as big as a palm, so who cares to look at it?

Xu Damao was startled by the car, tilted his head, and walked forward with his head held high.

While Yang Xiaotao's family was buzzing with people, the Taoist temple thousands of miles away was busy.

After some deliberation, the village chief behind him suggested that someone carry him down. It would be useless to wait any longer.

Several people looked at each other and could only do this.

So, the village chief went down to gather people and brought ropes and sticks.

Soon a dozen or so people were called over. They first cleared the passages in and out, and then began to carry them.

However, this 'alchemy furnace' was quite old and had already existed when he was in this temple.

I heard Master Danyangzi say that when the Taoist temple was first established, this thing was a reward from above.

According to his understanding, this Taoist temple was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.

It must have been three or four hundred years ago.

He just didn't know if it was true or false.

After such a long time, the old Taoist was afraid of being damaged by a knock. After all, this alchemy furnace was not made of copper or iron, but made of porcelain. This was why he told Yang Xiaotao that he could experiment with it.

Fortunately, Lao Dao was prepared when he arrived. In order to prevent wear and tear and problems during transportation, he specially bought several old quilts from the machinery factory, as well as several shabby coats, which were just right for wrapping.

So, after a group of people spent a long time, they finally carefully carried the 'Alchemy Furnace' down the mountain bit by bit, and then sent it to the road outside the village in an ox cart.

It wasn't until the alchemy furnace was fixed in the carriage that the old Taoists waved goodbye to the local comrades.

Of course, they also left behind a few tattered coats. Although these things were old to the villagers, the cotton inside was solid and they made them warm to wear.

The car was walking back slowly. In the back of the car, Wang Hao and Lao Dao were wrapped in coats and gloves, checking the tied pill furnace from time to time.

"Is this thing really useful?"

"Nonsense, you don't have to pay such a big expense to come here."

"But, what's the use?"

The two chatted casually in the carriage. The old man lit a cigarette and the two of them smoked with their backs to the wind. "You don't understand how this thing can withstand and react."

"If it's made of iron or copper, it won't work."

Wang Hao nodded, then stood up and looked at the road ahead. It was full of bumps. How long would this car have to run?

"When we go back this time, it can be considered a New Year's Eve."

The old Taoist nodded, "Who knew it would be so troublesome?"

The car didn't dare to run fast and moved towards Sijiu City little by little.

The car heading north on this side moved little by little, and on the other side, Silly Zhu, running back, did not slow down.

Ever since he heard the secret while hiding in a pile of firewood, Shazhu had made up his mind to report the matter and atone for his sins.

Of course, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Silly Zhu did not rush out.

Even though I was very hungry, I still hid inside.

Perhaps it was the mental excitement that suppressed physical hunger that allowed Silly Zhu to survive the difficult morning.

It wasn't until the sun rose above his head that he carefully opened a gap. After seeing that there was no movement around him, Silly Zhu got out, found the direction, quickly ran to the road, and then ran south along the road.

He didn't know where he was, but he went north when he left the city, so now he only needed to run south to find a familiar place.

As for taking Tudou to find Yi Zhonghai, this matter has long been forgotten.

Even the sack of potatoes was thrown into the haystack.

Half an hour later, Shazhu, who was eager to achieve success, was panting heavily, put his hands on his thighs, and breathed hard.

The cold air spreads throughout the body along the trachea, causing the hot sweat on the back to quickly dissipate.

However, looking at the blurry Sijiu City in the distance, Shazhu grinned.

Today is New Year's Day, and the entire Sijiu City has a completely new look.

Although it is not New Year, it is still a holiday to celebrate.

People on vacation were walking on the street, and bicycles passed by from time to time, attracting the attention of pedestrians.

Liu Guangqi followed among the people. Although he still had some bruises on his body, he finally felt more at ease after getting the money.

Although the online department warned him to pay attention to his safety, he was still working in factories and courtyards, so there was no danger.

As for the assigned tasks, this is easier.

If they believe what you have faked, what will happen next will not be easy, so just continue to fake it.

They don’t understand anyway.

Liu Guangqi, who was in a good mood, first went to buy a roast duck, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to cut a piece of mutton, and was going to go home and explain it to his mother and brothers.

As for the matter with Qin Huairu, Liu Guangqi looked at the crowd around him and felt that he still needed to explain.

Of course, as long as you have enough funds, your family won't care about this.

With this in mind, Liu Guangqi walked quickly towards the courtyard while carrying his things.

Just as he walked into the courtyard, he saw Yang Xiaotao seeing people off at the door.

"Xiao Zhang, thank you for your hard work. I asked you to stay here all morning and didn't even eat."

"Take this pack of cigarettes and smoke it."

Yang Xiaotao thrust a pack of cigarettes into Xiao Zhang's hand.

"Director Yang, you are too polite. I can't have this."

"No, you accept it, otherwise I won't be able to find you if there is a problem with the TV in the future."

"That's our job."

"Work is work, but our relationship is not."

The two of them had a conversation and saw Liu Guangqi coming over. There were a few people at the door, so they stopped refusing and took the things away.

"If anything happens, just come to me."

"good."

Yang Xiaotao watched the people leave and then looked at Liu Guangqi.

He also heard about what happened last night.

Glancing at Liu Guangqi, he was not surprised that this man was hanging out with Qin Huairu.

Since the last time I heard that Liu Guangqi had come back, he had made a lot of money and was generous, especially bringing a lot of things to the family. There was no mention of filial piety.

For Qin Huairu and the Jia family, such people are like a good person who helps them in times of need.

But what happened last night just proved that Liu Guangqi was successfully captured by Qin Huairu.

Otherwise, why didn't you call the police after being beaten so badly by Silly Zhu?

Nowadays, after all the ups and downs, the Siheyuan is no longer the past era when three uncles co-managed it and held conferences to solve all problems.

In today's courtyard houses, the quality of the people is improving, and the label of legal illiteracy is gradually being removed under Yang Xiaotao's deliberate propaganda.

So as long as there are violations, we might go to the street office or even the police station to find you.

In addition, several restless elements in the courtyard were cleared out, leaving the remaining ones such as Jia Zhang and Xu Damao to behave with their tails between their legs.

Because they know that if something is really done, it will be a matter of business.

No one interceded on their behalf.

There is no point in begging for mercy.

In this case, Liu Guangqi was beaten so badly, but the second aunt and his family could endure it. The reason is naturally clear.

People in the courtyard knew this, so when they met Liu Guangqi this time, they were no longer as close as before.

These days, being associated with a widow is no small matter.

Especially since Liu Guangqi is said to have gotten married, if he hadn't received the exact information, someone would have reported him to the street office.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at Liu Guangqi, turned around and walked towards the middle courtyard.

Behind him, Liu Guangqi snorted in his heart and followed slowly.
