Scholars in the courtyard

It was already midnight when we returned to the courtyard.

Yang Xiaotao walked back to the yard smelling of alcohol.

Wangcai and Hei Niu were lying in the doghouse. When they heard the footsteps, they raised their heads and looked, then continued lying down.

The little Wangwang next to him looked like he had too much energy. When he saw Yang Xiaotao coming back, he immediately ran over and wagged his tail.

Xiaowei was still hiding on the cucumber stand. Yang Xiaotao said hello when he came in, and then continued to shuttle among the green leaves, while playing a game of killing mosquitoes.

Of course, the venue for this game is no longer limited to the window sill. Anyone who enters the airspace of Yang's courtyard is within the attack range.

In the room, Ran Qiuye was holding a cattail leaf fan to send wind to the three children.

"Send it back!"

"Um!"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao enter the door, Ran Qiuye quickly stood up and asked.

Yang Xiaotao replied, sitting at the table next to him, picking up the enamel jar and taking a sip.

Seeing this, Ran Qiuye sat aside with a worried look on his face.

"Why is it happening like that?"

"Teacher Fan has been teaching and educating people in the school for a long time. He has been working hard over the years and has trained many excellent teachers."

"Why, why does he even want to go to the countryside?"

"And those students!"

Ran Qiuye hesitated to speak, but finally did not say anything.

Although she knows that Yang Xiaotao is different from others, these days, there are many couples who part ways because of different beliefs in their hearts.

It is not uncommon for people to kill relatives out of righteousness.

"How could this be possible?"

Ran Qiuye whispered, with confusion on his face.

In the countryside, how many children dream of walking into the classroom, sitting in a spacious classroom, smelling the fragrance of books and ink, and listening to the teacher's lectures.

How many families work hard to provide for their children in order to send them to school.

Some families with many children can only send one child to school.

The rest can only work in the fields.

They use the hard work of the whole family to provide for one student!

What’s the purpose? Isn’t it to change the fate of the illiterate!

But in this Forty-Nine City, what is happening to the current students!

"Tell me, what's the point of what we're doing now?"

Ran Qiuye felt a little distressed and a little scared.

I'm afraid that what she is doing now is in vain.

I'm afraid that the newly built schools in the countryside will look like this.

Yang Xiaotao stretched out his hand to hold Ran Qiuye's cold little hand, and comforted him softly, "Yes, it must be meaningful!"

"Think about it, could Yangjiazhuang Primary School be run without teachers like you?"

"Without you, Yang Hongbing and the others would still be weeding and turning soil in the fields."

"Without you, there would be no future for these children!"

Ran Qiuye felt warm in her heart after hearing this. Their efforts were not without rewards.

"The merits and demerits of right and wrong will be decided by future generations."

"All we can do is keep our conscience clear."

As he said that, Yang Xiaotao held Ran Qiuye in his arms, "I remember when I invited you to teach children in Yangjiazhuang. At that time, we didn't have big classrooms and no new books. Even children were compulsory and were forced to come out with a stick by the master. .”

"At that time, you told me that your dream was to be a teacher so that more children could read, be literate, and understand the principles of life, right?"

Ran Qiuye nodded slightly.

"Then let me ask you, has this dream changed now?"

Ran Qiuye shook his head gently, "No, it hasn't changed before, it hasn't changed now, and it won't change in the future!"

"Since nothing has changed, then stick to it. I believe that everything you do will eventually bear fruit and be rewarding!"

"Um!"

Ran Qiuye leaned into Yang Xiaotao's arms and responded, as if only in this way could she feel supported.

Yang Xiaotao was looking out the window at the night.

It's a bit dark tonight, so I can't see clearly the road outside!

Outside the courtyard.

Silly Zhu got up and went to the toilet, lowering his head and waiting.

In the past few days, every time he fell asleep in the middle of the night, he would come out to use the toilet.

Then wait here for a while.

In order to do it naturally, I drank too much water, which made my bladder suffer.

Snapped

After swatting the mosquito on his arm, Shazhu looked at the door of the courtyard again.

The person I was waiting for in my heart still didn’t come.

How many days has it been?

Or, the other party no longer wants to be involved with him!

As I was thinking wildly, there were a lot of mosquitoes around.

After waiting for a while, Shazhu felt that there was no need to wait any longer, so he prepared to walk into the courtyard.

Just as he raised his legs, he saw the door he was watching from a distance open a crack, and a figure walked out.

Suddenly, Shazhu was excited. The person he had been waiting for finally arrived.

He rubbed his hands together involuntarily, then lifted up his pants, staring at the visitor as he walked slowly without blinking.

"For so many days, I thought you wouldn't come!"

Silly Zhu stepped forward impatiently, saw that there was no one around him, and hugged Qin Jingru in his arms.

Compared with Qin Huairu, the young Qin Jingru has a better figure.

Compared with Qin Huairu, who had given birth to three children and her body was starting to lose shape, Qin Jingru at this time was more like a chrysanthemum that had just bloomed.

Just holding her body showed desire.

"Get off!"

Qin Jingru pushed Shazhu away and straightened her clothes twice.

"I'm telling you, be more honest these days!"

In the end, Qin Jingru did not let go of the benefits given by Silhouette, whether it was material or physical.

"What's going on?"

Shazhu was confused.

Qin Jingru told Xu Damao about reporting Yi Zhonghai.

"Xu Damao is a bastard. If I don't beat him to death, I won't have a surname!"

Silly Zhu was furious, but Qin Jingru didn't react at all. Because Xu Damao lost his face at the street office this time, he was actively making progress and improving his image.

Besides, Yi Zhonghai's immortality has nothing to do with her.

"Anyway, please be more honest lately, Xu Damao is keeping an eye on you."

After Qin Jingru finished speaking, she went to the courtyard.

Silly Zhu was stunned for a moment and quickly took Qin Jingru's hand, "No, what do you mean?"

"It's Xu Damao who wants to deal with you."

Qin Jingru didn't elaborate, mainly because what Xu Damao said was unreliable and she didn't know the details.

"Okay, I have to go back."

"I kept coming out to use the toilet a few days ago, and Xu Damao noticed it. It's been too long!"

After saying that, Qin Jingru walked towards the gate.

"Wait a minute!"

Silly Zhu suddenly spoke, then came to Qin Jingru and took out five dollars from his pocket, "Take this money, it's what's left over from the last meal."

"Buy something to eat while Xu Damao is not at home."

"Don't lose yourself!"

While giving money, use force with your hands.

Qin Jingru was not polite. After taking the money, she reached out and knocked off the offending hand, "Take it easy, it hurts!"

Silly Zhu hurriedly delivered it, but was thinking about it.

Qin Jingru put the money into her pocket and asked with a smile, "Why don't you give this money to Qin Huairu?"

Silly Zhu smiled, and his hands began to be dishonest again, "I don't care about your life!"

"Hmph, you, I thought you were a decent and good person."

"I didn't expect that the same thing as Xu Damao is a bastard!"

"snort!"

Then he turned and left.

Silly Zhu stood there, wanting to refute, why is he just like Xu Damao?

That guy Xu Damao is a bad guy. He hurts people behind their backs and plots against others.

He is a fool, a good person in the courtyard who respects the old and loves the young, is generous and willing to help others.

Not to mention other things, just taking care of the elderly and children, I would leave him Xu Damao Bajie.

I usually donate money when I have the money, but when I encounter difficulties, I immediately lend a helping hand!

How could he, He Yuzhu, be as bad as Xu Damao?

But facing Qin Jingru, these words were impossible to say.

Because, what I am doing now is not what Xu Damao did before?

At the beginning, I looked down on Xu Damao, wasn't it because he was a bad-tempered person?

At the beginning, wasn't my dream just to prove in my own way that he, Silly Zhu, was better than Xu Damao?

But now, is there any difference between what he is doing and what Xu Damao is doing?

If anything, it's even more hateful.

For a moment, Shazhu turned pale.

Having deviated from the original intention and persisted all the time, it was all in vain!

After a while, Silly Zhu recovered and spit on the ground.

"I'm not like Shamao."

"Si Mao is bad to everyone, I am just bad to him!"

As he said this, the corners of Shazhu's mouth curled up, as if he had found a perfect excuse.

"I am venting ill-will on behalf of the people, doing justice for heaven, and acting chivalrously. How can I be called evil?"

"Right, that is it!"

His heart became wider and wider, and Shazhu no longer thought about the past.

However, the thought of cuckolding Xu Damao, although immoral, was a relief.

Silly Zhu felt even more happy.

"Si Mao, haha, if you want to play, grandpa will accompany you!"

…

One night passed, Yang Xiaotao got up and made breakfast.

Ran Qiuye still looked a little sad after what happened last night, but she still had to implement the promise she made to Teacher Fan as soon as possible.

So, she will be very busy today too.

After dinner, Ran's mother helped look after the children, and the two of them prepared to go out.

The old man from the backyard followed Yu Zecheng and his wife through the Moon Gate with their hands behind their backs.

Yang Xiaotao and others met and continued walking out.

"Lao Yu, can you do this? Where's the girl? She's not there yet!"

Yang Xiaotao joked, in fact, Yu Zecheng didn't spend much time in the courtyard these days, and he spent a lot of time working outside.

He didn't dare to ask why, but looking at Cuiping, she definitely didn't look like she was pregnant.

Yu Zecheng showed an awkward smile, looked back at his wife who was walking with Ran Qiuye, and then turned back and whispered, "It depends on fate, you can't force it."

Yang Xiaotao glared, "It depends on whether you ask for this fate or not!"

"Lao Yu, let me tell you, this is like shooting at a target. If you don't shoot, how can you hit it? What kind of fate are you talking about?"

"We have to be like a machine gun, burst, burst, burst. If the quantity is too large, the probability of hitting the target will increase. Understand!"

"It's really not enough. The old Taoist has a lot more."

"real?"

With that said, the two of them looked back at Lao Dao.

Yang Xiaotao and Yu Zecheng were talking quietly in front, and the old man was wiping his beard behind him. Seeing the two of them looking so embarrassed, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, they made friends by mistake!

Thinking of Yang Xiaotao mentioning the alloy department to him, he felt overwhelmed.

The United Star Research Institute is enough to give him a headache right now. Now he is also working part-time in Alloy. Is it easy for him to have such an old bone?

Look at the people in the courtyard, everyone about his age has grandchildren. Although he has no grandchildren, it doesn't stop him from enjoying his old age.

Why did you agree to this guy in the first place?

This is not what it means to be on a pirate ship.

"This guy is holding something bad in his heart."

"How bad!"

As for what happened next, Ran Qiuye told Cuiping what happened last night.

Compared to Ran Qiuye's worries, Cuiping, who was carefree, looked at things more directly.

"You said those boys don't go to school? I think they are just eating enough."

"It's just my Shitou. If he dares not to study hard, I'll starve him for two days and see if he has the strength to make trouble."

"If I dare to make trouble again, I have so many rolling pins and fire sticks that I can make him explode?"

"Don't worry, if it's difficult to manage your Dragon Boat Festival when the time comes, leave it to me, and I'll make sure I manage it for you honestly."

Cuiping patted his chest in assurance, looking very casual.

This actually made Ran Qiuye feel relieved.

Arriving at the entrance of the alley, Yang Xiaotao waved to Ran Qiuye and led Lao Tao to the machinery factory on his motorcycle.

Yu Zecheng got into the jeep parked on the roadside, glanced at Cuiping, nodded, and left.

Watching the people in front leave, Cuiping was driving his bicycle behind him with a pout on his face.

"One after another, grown men ride motorcycles and small jeeps, without any regard for us women."

"unfair!"

Ran Qiuye smiled at the side, "They ride in the car all for work, and they are also paid for by labor."

"We ride bicycles now just for work. There is essentially no difference."

Cuiping raised his thighs and sat on the car, "You, I don't know what kind of ecstasy that boy gave you, please help him speak."

"If my family were like that, he would have to listen to whatever I say at home."

"Don't you dare to listen?"

Cuiping stamped his feet, with a faint murderous look on his face.

"By the way, which village are we going to today?"

Cuiping complained, and then asked about today's destination.

Ran Qiuye got on the car and looked east, "Today, we are not going to the countryside."

"Go see eldest sister!"
