Scholars in the courtyard

"Old Taoist, what did you use for this wine? How did you make it?"

Yang Xiaotao inquired, and the old man put down his wine glass, "What's the matter? Want to know the recipe?"

"No, I'm just asking!"

The master beside him smiled and said nothing.

The old Taoist sighed, "As for this formula, it was excerpted from the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon, and was continuously optimized and improved by the ancestors of our lineage..."

The old Taoist didn't answer Yang Xiaotao and started talking about this.

When Yang Xiaotao saw it, he knew that the old Taoist was not going to say anything, so he didn't care.

He just took the wine jar and drank a few more glasses.

The old Taoist looked on and said happily, "Our wine is only passed on to those who are destined to be together!"

Yang Xiaotao glanced at it and said, "It seems that I am not destined to be the right person!"

"Yes, only half!"

"cut!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't believe his lies, "I'll drink it all for you!"

The old Taoist and the master laughed, stroking their beards, with cunning in their eyes!

This wine uses new ingredients.

I have to say that Sijiu City is a treasure trove of natural resources, with a lot of good stuff.

If you drink less, it will prolong your life.

If you drink too much, haha.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao didn't think there was anything wrong, he just thought the wine was quite delicious.

The two old men ignored Yang Xiaotao and continued to drink and talk about things of their time. Yang Xiaotao was not restrained. After a few glasses of wine, he almost had enough to eat!

He didn't have many rules in his own family, so Yang Xiaotao let the two of them drink. Then he took care of the two girls and asked Ran Qiuye to come over to eat for a while.

By the way, Ran Qiuye also drank some. This wine has benefits.

After dinner, the old man went back with the empty wine jar. The master drank a lot, played with the Dragon Boat Festival for a while, and then went to the house to lie down and sleep.

Xiao Duanwu followed him, and Yang Xiaotao followed him, as long as he was not woken up by the master's snoring in the middle of the night.

Here, Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye finished clearing the dishes, and the two girls also started to go to bed after eating.

Ran Qiuye took out a letter from the cupboard.

Yang Xiaotao took it, "Uncle Chen's?"

"Um!"

"You see, Uncle Chen said he originally wanted to come back this year to celebrate the New Year, but aunt fell ill this winter and didn't come up."

"However, they see you often. They also know that we are doing well, and they are very happy!"

Yang Xiaotao took out the letter and looked at it, and understood why Uncle Chen said this.

They have radios in Shanghai. Sometimes when they hear about the machinery factory, they will buy some newspapers. Many of them have Yang Xiaotao on them, so they say this.

After reading the letter, Yang Xiaotao took out the letter paper from the drawer and prepared to write a reply.

Jia family

Aunt Si Zhu came out of the door. In the room, Mrs. Jia Zhang was busy clearing away the dishes.

Originally, Sha Zhu wanted to take Aunt Ma to Caojiagou to spend the New Year with Yi Zhonghai, but Qin Huairu said that it would not be easy to go there. Aunt Ma was in good health and the weather was freezing. If she did it again, it would be even worse.

So, today I spent this small year at Jia’s house.

But just like before, Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't like anything about Si Zhu. Although she liked it, she couldn't decide how to scold him.

"Let's go back!"

Seeing Qin Huairu being sent out of the door, Shazhu smiled, and the aunt beside him was also pleased.

Since the reconciliation of their relationship, the two have always had smiles on their faces.

Qin Huairu hummed, then told her not to freeze and go back early before closing the door.

Silly Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's appearance, and finally turned around to help Auntie go home.

"Zhuzi, looking at you like this, are you worried?"

"I, how can I not have it!"

Although Silhu said this, he really felt it in his heart.

Eat the marrow to know the taste.

Silly Zhu is not an innocent little virgin either.

After so long, I naturally think about it even more.

But every time he talked about the future with Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu always talked about him.

It's okay to take advantage, but not if you want to go deeper.

"Auntie, tell me, will Huairu follow me?"

"Yes, why not?"

Aunt Ma must have said that in his eyes, Shazhu and Qin Huairu were the best couple.

"But!"

Silly Zhu hesitated, and finally said in frustration, "But if she follows me like this, will it affect Bangge and the others?"

"You also know, my background..."

The aunt didn't know what to say when she heard this. She thought that back then, Si Zhu was a third-generation farmhand in the courtyard. She had a high status and was a working class person, so she had no problem finding a wife.

But now, Silly Zhu wants to find a young girl, and it is estimated that those from innocent families will not marry her.

As for Qin Huairu, it seems that it should be possible.

The aunt is also a little unsure and will ask again when she has a chance.

After Si Zhu finished speaking, he lay on the bed alone, unable to sleep alone.

In the backyard, Xu Damao was lying on the bed, and Qin Jingru was applying cooking wine to him.

"Damn Silly Zhu, I, I can't spare him!"

Xu Damao said angrily, his back hurt again, "Be gentle, be gentle!"

"Ouch!"

"What a fool. I bumped into him while walking. This guy just squatted there on purpose. What a fool."

Qin Jingru listened to Xu Damao's complaints with disdain on her face, but Xu Damao didn't see it.

"My back is healed, what else can I do?"

Qin Jingru looked at the bruises on her white flesh and reached out to pat it.

Xu Damao turned over, then stared at Qin Jingru, smiling maliciously, "And this!"

Qin Jingru was stunned and her face turned red, "It's okay to die now?"

"Wait, don't even look at the time!"

Xu Damao smiled stupidly.

In the middle of the night, Yang Xiaotao read the letter after he finished writing it, and put it in the envelope if he didn't miss anything.

Put it on the table, stick a stamp on it, and then get ready to go to bed.

A special sound suddenly came from my ears, regular and rhythmic.

Yang Xiaotao smiled and turned back to the house.

Ran Qiuye had already fallen asleep, but the sounds in his ears suddenly increased.

Obviously, today is a good day, and many people in the hospital are contributing to national construction.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao suddenly felt an impulse under his lower abdomen.

The wine he drank made his whole body feel hot.

Looking at his sleeping daughter, Yang Xiaotao separated the two children with a quilt, then took off his clothes and got into bed.

"daughter in law!"

In a daze, Ran Qiuye felt a little cold

As a result, in the orchestral music that was constantly sounding in the courtyard, new members soon joined in, giving the low voice an extra staying power.

Silly Zhu covered his head with the quilt, his eyes were red.

The voice in his ear told him what he needed in his heart.

But reason told him that he was just a person now.

Qin Jingru's figure appeared in his mind, and his eyes gradually blurred.

Xu Damao's family.

When Qin Jingru heard the sound, she glanced at the dead pig-like Xu Damao again, cursed the silver-like wax gun head in her heart, pulled up the quilt, covered her head and went to sleep!

The next day, Yang Xiaotao lay on the bed and didn't want to get up.

I just want to 'thank you' to the old man. There was definitely something wrong with yesterday's wine.

Fortunately, we prepared enough protective measures last night, otherwise, there will be another mouth in the house next year.

Yang Xiaotao covered his waist and got up. What happened last night was not something he could stop if he wanted to. That feeling was like stimulating the potential of the human body, urging you to stop.

"This thing is very harmful. In order to prevent female compatriots from being harmed, it must be strictly controlled."

"Yes, it's best to control it yourself."

While thinking about it, I got up.

Outside the house, the master was taking the wealthy black girl out for a walk.

In the kitchen, Ran Qiuye prepared the meal, her rosy cheeks and eyes looking at Yang Xiaotao were full of tenderness.

This was not the first time for the two of them, but the feeling his wife gave him last night was extra special.

Yang Xiaotao guessed that it was also because of the wine.

At the moment, I am enjoying Ran Qiuye's tenderness, and I am even more eager for the veteran's unique secret recipe.

…

After breakfast, Yang Xiaotao went out to prepare for work.

That's how it is for migrant workers. They only take a break during holidays. At other times, besides going to work, they are on the way to work.

Workers in the yard went out one after another, and a group of gentlemen raised their heads to meet each other, and then smiled at each other.

Last night, they didn't lose.

Everyone smiled, put their arms around each other, and went out together.

The women in the house also came out to change their sheets and start a beautiful day amidst the laughter.

Things are getting better now. If we have more children, we will be able to take care of ourselves in old age in the future.

Of course, there are also those who can’t sleep alone.

Silly Zhu fell behind the crowd, and beside him was Qin Huairu, who was equally haggard.

Obviously, the two of them didn't sleep well last night.

Just looking at the laughing crowd in front, his eyes glanced at Qin Huairu beside him, then saw Jia Zhang, and finally turned into a sigh.

There is too much distance between them.

Yang Xiaotao walked in front amidst the envious eyes of the men, and then waited for Lao Dao to get in the car before driving away.

"Old Taoist, did you change the wine you got last night?"

The old Taoist stroked his beard and said, "How is it?"

"very nice!"

"That recipe of yours?"

"Don't come here. This is a secret recipe that is unique to our lineage and cannot be taught to outsiders."

"Old Taoist, what do you think about me becoming a registered disciple?"

"Okay, that's fine. We won't choose. Just kowtow and show some respect!"

"Really, that's great. In that case, the secret recipe..."

"The secret recipe cannot be given to me unless it is passed down from my direct descendants!"

"Depend on!"

Yang Xiaotao curled his lips and knew that it would not be so easy for this veteran. Then he thought of the alloy formula, which was also a headache.

Thinking of the two formulas, Yang Xiaotao suddenly said, "Old Dao, tell me, can I use your formula to exchange for the alloy formula?"

The old Taoist almost pinched off the beard in his hand when he heard this, but there was more thought in his eyes.

"Go away, stop trying to think of my secret recipe."

"I'm just saying."

"It's not enough to talk about it. I can see it. You kid sincerely wants this formula from me, right?"

"No, why do you want it? I just want to keep it for you. If it is lost, it will be a loss to our country."

"Come on, I still don't know your little thoughts? Did you feel like a fish in water last night? Ha~~"

The old Taoist glanced at Yang Xiaotao and said, "But, who did you learn to tell lies like this?"

"What are you talking about? I really think about it for you."

Yang Xiaotao retorted, and the old Taoist shook his head in disbelief, "That's weird."

"Yes, if I don't give it, I won't give it. For your own good, I'll bite Lu Dongbin like a dog."

"Hey, what, no more?"

"Yes, will you give it?"

snap

As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, a cloth bag was thrown into his arms.

"Here you go, so you don't have to bother me later."

squeak~~~

Yang Xiaotao stepped on the brake.

The old man almost hit the windshield in front.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the old man in surprise.

One second he refused, and the next moment he gave it?

This thing changed so quickly that I didn't even react.

Holding the cloth bag, "Really?"

"Nonsense, I wrote it overnight last night. Do you want me to take it back and burn it?"

"I want it! Of course I have to."

Yang Xiaotao put the cloth bag in his pocket, "Have you figured it out yet?"

The old Taoist stroked his beard and said, "I'll give you the stuff. You can make wine by yourself later, so you don't have to think about the old Taoist."

"Since you said so, I will reluctantly keep it for you. Don't worry, this lineage will never be lost to you in the future."

"What you say is better than what you sing. Drive quickly."

"Okay, let's go."

The two of them talked all the way, and the car came to the machinery factory against the wind. Watching Lao Dao get out of the car and go to the research team, Yang Xiaotao looked solemn.

Pick up the cloth bag and take out a piece of paper.

Lines of pencil characters were written with the names of various medicinal herbs, with corresponding dosages next to them.

After careful counting, there were actually twenty-eight kinds, including many precious medicinal materials.

It looks a bit like an ancient herbal prescription.

However, the writing here is neat and clear, which is much better than what doctors in later generations would just scratch out.

I don’t know who those doctors are marking out like that to prevent.

Thinking of the efficacy of the products formulated on it, Yang Xiaotao felt the weight of this piece of paper.

It is said that women and children make money easily.

But in this regard, men’s money is actually better earned.

Think about the men who are unwilling to submit to their old age and still want to regain their glory, think about the men who are unwilling to submit in front of women, and think about the men who work for family harmony.

With this thing, will you be able to endure it?

Especially the richer the man, the less he cares about money.

"so!"

"This secret recipe is much more valuable than any alloy formula."
