Scholars in the courtyard

From the kitchen window, Silly Zhu looked at a group of people gathering there, feeling depressed.

With a click, the rice spoon was thrown into the rice basin.

Turning around and walking back, "Liu Lan, Liu Lan..."

Silly Zhu was shouting in the kitchen. Several helpers looked at each other, but none of them saw Liu Lan.

"Where are you running? There is nothing serious to do day by day!"

Silly Zhu didn't find Liu Lan, so he asked Ma Hua, who was next to him, to come over and get some food.

At this time, Liu Lan fluttered her clothes with both hands and walked out of the small warehouse of the factory. Her face turned red. After seeing that there was no one around, she reached out and touched a few paper tickets in her pocket, filled with joy.

Two minutes later, a figure walked out of the door. It was Li Huaide, the deputy director.

Looking around, Li Huaide took out the sweat from his handkerchief and walked to the office.

Liu Lan walked to the back kitchen and saw Shazhu half lying on a chair, wiping his shiny knees with one hand and holding a teapot in the other, leisurely and contented.

"stop!"

Liu Lan passed by and heard Sha Zhu calling him in a long voice.

Now Sha Zhu has become a spoon chef because of his cooking skills, and she works under Sha Zhu, cutting vegetables and cooking fires, doing odd jobs.

"Where have you gone? I can't find you even if I look for you!"

Silly Zhu stood up and Liu Lan turned around.

"Where else can we go? We're going to the bathroom!"

"Go to the bathroom? Half an hour?"

Silly Zhu stood up, and his instinct as a cook for many years made him smell around Liu Lan.

Liu Lan looked startled and quickly moved away from Sha Zhu, "You are a dog."

"No, Liu Lan, where have you been?"

"The smell on you is wrong."

Silly Zhu said confidently, and Liu Lan's eyes were a little panicked.

"What does it taste like? What do you know about women?"

"A single old bachelor wants to know what it's like to find a woman."

After Liu Lan finished speaking, several women in the kitchen suddenly laughed. They all said that it was time for Shazhu to find a woman. Others said that Shazhu was getting older and missed a woman.

The more he spoke, the more biased he became. Shazhu blushed and turned to leave.

Liu Lan breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this matter cannot be brought to light.

Yang Xiaotao and others had breakfast, and Wang Fa took away the last remaining bottom of the bottle. This kind of bottle is good for drinking water.

When I get home from get off work, I check the corn as usual.

In one day, the cobs have taken shape and the two rows of corn are growing well.

As for other corn, it is already the size of a palm, and it is estimated that it will be harvested in more than two months.

This also makes people in the compound take a second look when they pass by, especially the third uncle. He comes to hang around every once in a while and knows what he is planning without saying anything.

As for Yi Zhonghai, he no longer cares about Yang Xiaotao, and the two of them maintain a face-to-face and heart-to-heart relationship.

But Yi Zhonghai was also waiting for Yang Xiaotao to make a mistake.

The same is true for the bangs in the backyard. The difference is that Yi Zhonghai expresses it in his heart, and the bangs are all placed on his face.

Every time there is some disturbance, I can't help but investigate.

Now, his target is also corn.

After get off work on Friday, Yang Xiaotao returned home and just sat down.

In the front yard, a familiar figure walked in. The third aunt who was cooking saw it and immediately put down what she was doing and came over to say hello.

"Third aunt, here we go again!"

The person who came was none other than San Gu, the matchmaker from the street office.

The last time I proposed a partner to Yang Xiaotao, it didn't work out, and I was scolded by Director Wang when I returned home.

However, last time the girl heard that she was married to Xu Damao from the same yard, which also made him wonder, why is this girl blind?

Why don't you marry such a capable man as Yang Xiaotao to a bastard?

However, it seems lucky now.

It’s not that one family doesn’t enter the same house.

Fortunately, this capitalist's daughter did not marry an advanced worker. Otherwise, who would dare to seek matchmaking with her?

"Hey, Third Aunt, you're cooking so early!"

The third aunt said hello but was not in a hurry to go in.

"There are not many people here, so prepare early."

"Well, your family has a large population. How about it? Does your boss have a partner?"

After hearing this, the third aunt looked inside the house. Yan Jiecheng lay down on the bed when he came back. It was hard to find a job during this period. Regular workers were not available, and temporary workers were paid less and did not care about food. Yan Jiecheng also spent three days fishing and two days drying nets. Unstable.

"Stop talking, look at my family like this. How can we live our lives if we have another pair of chopsticks?"

The third aunt mentioned the sorrow. Now the whole family is planning carefully, even fishing is included in it. The minimum number of fish caught every day and the number of peanuts eaten every day are counted.

"Who says it isn't? The situation is serious, and it is like this in the entire Sijiu City."

"This is pretty good for us. I heard that people are starving to death in the countryside!"

The third aunt whispered.

The third aunt felt a little palpitated.

"What are you doing?"

The two quickly stopped talking, and the third aunt asked again.

The third aunt laughed, "Isn't this a serious situation? Many people are thinking of marrying their daughters, why don't you ask me to ask?"

What the third aunt said was true, and the third aunt also understood what was going on.

"Then you are busy."

The third aunt nodded and walked to the middle courtyard.

The third aunt thought to herself that this time it was either Yang Xiaotao or Silly Zhu.

After all, a single man can afford a lot of food and clothing in the courtyard, a cook can bring some extra, and there is extra money, so raising a woman is not a problem.

"Hmph. A guy who is so lucky can still find a wife without a father or a mother. This is such a bullshit world."

The third aunt walked to the middle courtyard. Before she could go to Yang Xiaotao's residence, she saw a girl coming towards her. At a glance, she saw that it was Lou Xiao'e.

As a former matchmaker, she had an impression of Lou Xiaoe, and they had met several times.

She didn't know much about Lou Xiao'e, except that she was the daughter of a capitalist, her living conditions were quite good, and she was pretty good-looking.

However, this vision is a bit poor.

"Third aunt!"

Lou Xiao'e screamed in disbelief.

"Hey, isn't this Xiao'e? You said that you haven't come around to me even after being married for so long. I was the matchmaker for you back then!"

The third aunt is familiar with her, and she speaks with intimacy.

To work in her profession, you have to be thick-skinned and smooth-talking.

"That's what Third Aunt said. I'll be there as soon as possible. Just don't kick me out."

"That's okay. You go, I'll open the door to welcome you."

"By the way, do you have any children? Third aunt still has some unused clothes at home. As the saying goes, you can make a living by wearing hundreds of clothes."

Lou Xiao'e immediately lowered her head and the color on her face changed.

"Third aunt, you are busy, I will leave first."

After saying that, he walked to the backyard, leaving Sangu at a loss, and then raised his legs to find Yang Xiaotao.

Qin Huairu was also cooking at Jia's house in the Zhongyuan. When she saw Sangu talking to Lou Xiao'e, she walked to Yang Xiaotao's house after a few words, and she immediately understood what was going on.

boom

Mrs. Jia Zhang, who was holding a stick at the door, stamped her feet vigorously, her triangular eyes almost popping out.

"You little beast, stay single for the rest of your life, or you will die."

In the middle courtyard, Yang Xiaotao was directing Xiaowei to check the situation.

After these five days, under the effect of ripening, the two rows of experimental corn have matured and will be picked in the evening, ready for the next step.

"Yang Xiaotao?"

"Yang Xiaotao!"

A voice came from outside the hospital. Yang Xiaotao closed his notebook and walked to the door, where he saw the figure of the third aunt.

"Third aunt, you are here, are you looking for me?"

Yang Xiaotao understood what was going on as soon as he saw San Gu.

Blind dates are very normal in this day and age, and most people find their life partners this way.

According to incomplete statistics, the success rate of blind dates now exceeds 80%.

And the time is achieved within one to two weeks.

It’s not like later generations who went on blind dates and paid bills N times, but still ended up dragging them out year after year, and in the end, they ended up supporting someone else’s wife.

If someone hadn't done something bad last time, Yang Xiaotao would have had a woman who knew whether he was hot or not.

pity……

"You are planting corn. Tsk tsk!"

The third aunt looked at the corn that had grown, stretched out her hand and squeezed the corn cob, "This cob is ready at first sight."

"Xiao Tao, Third Aunt is here to tell you something this time."

"There is a girl, eighteen years old. I asked someone from my hometown to ask. She looks like she is good at giving birth. When can we meet?"

Sangu stood in front of Yang Xiaotao and said with a smile, she had a big meal last time she came here, so she can bring back some corns this time.

Yang Xiaotao shook his head after hearing this.

"Third aunt, please let me go. I really haven't been in the mood to fall in love recently. Wait a few days, wait a few days."

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly refused. Firstly, this hybrid corn was at a critical moment. Secondly, he felt that it was good to be alone now, at least he could hide some secrets.

Besides, if the meeting fails, wouldn’t it embarrass the girl?

Also, with my wealth, why would I bother looking for someone from my hometown?

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's refusal, the third aunt still did not give up.

"Xiao Tao, this sub-district office has a mission. Almost everyone in your courtyard must have this awareness, and you can't hinder the construction of the motherland."

"Besides, this girl."

The third aunt began to cheat, praising the girl for her ability and strong body, and she would definitely be able to continue the Yang family's family line and flourish.

Yang Xiaotao was helpless and could only reluctantly break four corn cobs and send them to the third aunt.

"Third aunt, I'm serious."

The third aunt was stunned. Seeing Yang Xiaotao's appearance, she understood that it was useless no matter how much she said. She hugged the corn and said, "You kid, why are you so stubborn?"

"Some things have passed away. You have to look forward."

"Okay, I know you don't like this. I'll give you a look in a few days and come back to you if I find someone suitable."

After the third aunt finished speaking, she held the corn and walked out.

Yang Xiaotao shook his head and smiled, "Next time I come, I'll ask for corn."

Then he ignored her and walked into the house to prepare for cooking.

As soon as Sangu walked to the front yard with corn in her arms, she met Silly Zhu walking in, carrying a lunch box with leftovers from the factory.

"Third aunt, why are you here free?"

Silly Zhu stood in front, but he knew what San Gu was doing.

I was scolded by the ladies in the kitchen two days ago. When I got home, I realized that I really needed to find a wife.

Sister Xiao Qin is good, but she cannot be used as a daughter-in-law.

"Isn't this a matchmaker?"

After the third aunt finished speaking, she looked at Shazhu. To be honest, Shazhu was a very famous cook. It was not difficult to find a wife.

But the last few times he came to see him, he was rejected. There were also rumors about Zhu Bajie and his second aunt, which made many girls not want to see him.

Silly Zhu looked at the corn cobs in San Gu's arms and immediately thought of who he was looking for.

Yang Xiaotao, it must be this guy.

When this matchmaker comes to the courtyard, all she sees is Yang Xiaotao. How is she inferior to him?

In terms of body shape, I am stronger than his thin little arms and legs.

In terms of appearance, I am more mature than his pretty boy.

When it comes to filial piety, the deaf old lady in the backyard, the uncle, the aunt...

As a person, who in the courtyard wouldn't say good things about him?

When it comes to eating skills, who in the courtyard is better than him these days?
