Scholars in the courtyard

In the front yard, Shazhu and the first man walked into the yard together.

As the New Year approaches, more and more weddings are held.

As a cook, he is naturally very popular. With his connections, this uncle took Shazhu around to take orders, slowly building up his reputation.

I just came out of Director Yang's house today. A table of food made Director Yang happy. From now on, work matters are settled.

The current Shazhu is not the arrogant Shazhu in the back kitchen of the steel rolling mill. After entering the back kitchen, he also followed the old master and started to fight.

These days, it's not just someone who has cooking skills who can become a chef. Work units and factories are very particular about seniority rankings. If newcomers want to get ahead, they not only have to endure hardship, but also have to have someone to help them.

In the original book, Ma Hua worshiped Sha Zhu as his master, which lasted for three years and three years, and it was also called an inspection.

In the end, I learned nothing.

Of course, a big factor in this is Si Zhu's affairs, but it can also reflect the social situation at that time.

Fortunately, Silly Zhu is not a novice. He has some abilities. What he lacks is just an opportunity.

This opportunity, with the help of Yi Zhonghai, quickly caught up with Director Yang.

As long as you raise the level, you can stand alone.

Now Si Zhu is the lowest level nine chef, and he is waiting for this assessment to be promoted to the eighth level chef.

The future is bright, and Shazhu is naturally full of energy.

Moreover, he found out clearly that Xu Damao's grandson was doing a lot of homework in private in order to inherit his father's position and become a film projectionist in the factory.

By now, Xu Damao is here. If he is taken down, what dignity will he have in this courtyard?

But he wasn't too worried. After all, it was a family-traditional craft, so the assessment should be fine.

As soon as the two of them walked in, the third uncle, who had been watching for a long time, immediately stepped forward.

"Lao Yi, that kid is back!"

"who?"

Silly Zhu didn't react and asked.

"Who else can it be? Yang Xiaotao!"

"Hey, this grandson is finally willing to come back. I thought I didn't want this family anymore, but it just happened to be free to help the poor in the compound!"

Silly Zhu spoke carelessly, not hiding his inner thoughts at all.

Of course, he himself has no need for this house. Although the courtyard has been renovated, his two main rooms are the best and largest in the courtyard. He really doesn't pay attention to the two small side rooms.

But the uncle asked Yan Fugui, "When did you come back?"

"It took a while."

"This kid has changed. I think it should be exciting. Lao Yi, I think it's almost enough!"

“The Chinese New Year will be here soon, why don’t we wait until after the Chinese New Year!”

Yan Fugui watched Yang Xiaotao and Xu Damao get closer in the afternoon. Although he didn't hear what was said, he knew very well what kind of virtue Xu Damao was. If these two guys really wanted to do something, how could they not be allowed to fly wildly in the courtyard?

Silly Zhu on the side was impatient after hearing this, "What, are you still celebrating the New Year?"

"My family has five yuan, Yan Laoxi. Isn't your family short of that five yuan?"

"If you get beaten up, you can earn fifteen yuan. I want to try this kind of good thing!"

Silly Zhu still feels sorry for the five yuan. These days, every dime is money, and one steamed bun can live a whole day. How many steamed buns can you buy with five yuan?

As for the fifteen yuan, Xu Damao's ten yuan was not considered by him. Even in his opinion, ten yuan was still too little.

A bad guy like Xu Damao deserves to be with him for twenty or thirty years.

Speaking of five yuan, Yan Fugui felt a sense of tightness in his chest. Five yuan, he had saved it by frugally saving food and clothing for most of the past six months. For this reason, he also increased the burden on several children and had to write down a few more accounts every month. It's better to wait until the children grow up.

While several people were talking, someone came to the door again, but it was Jia Dongxu who walked in smelling of alcohol.

"Master, why are you here?"

"Going to drink again?"

Yi Zhonghai was a little impatient, Jia Dongxu smiled and said, "I'm asking for help from a few brothers. I'd like to express my special thanks!"

"Those brothers of yours are so rare. They are just idle all day long. Why don't you do something?"

Faced with Yi Zhonghai's accusation, Jia Dongxu could only lower his head and listen.

This is the status of a master.

"Okay, Lao Yan, let's talk about this later."

As Yi Zhonghai walked towards the middle courtyard, Si Zhu was still talking to Yan Fugui, but Jia Dongxu ran up quickly.

"Master, I have a friend who wants to join the steel rolling mill. He offered me this price. Do you think you can help?"

As he spoke, Jia Dongxu raised a finger.

Yi Zhonghai naturally knew how much it was, as he had done this before.

"Now it's all a carrot and a pit, how can there be any extra?"

Yi Zhonghai also wants to earn this hundred yuan. Although he has a monthly salary of 99 yuan, this has just been raised in the past two years.

He used to spend all the money he earned in the factory. At that time, the assessment was not so rigorous, so he spent a lot of money and finally got the grade eight fitter.

In addition, in the past two years, the old couple had been struggling a lot to have a child. That is to say, the eldest mother was not in good health these years, so they gave up the idea and turned around to look for someone to provide for themselves in their old age.

However, keeping the aunt's body silently requires money.

All in all, Yi Zhonghai's family is not as glamorous as outsiders see it. It can only be said that every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite.

He knows his own family background well.

One hundred yuan is a lot.

"Master, isn't there something suitable right now?"

Jia Dongxu glanced at the courtyard, and Yi Zhonghai understood it, but with a righteous look, "Let's talk about it after the New Year!"

"knew."

When Jia Dongxu saw that there was something going on, he looked at the ear room of the middle courtyard with a fierce look.

His wife had been touched in vain for more than a month, how could he be so cheap?

Jia Dongxu walked through the door. At the gate, the third uncle and Silly Zhu saw Jia Zhang staggering into the door.

Nowadays, Mrs. Jia Zhang doesn't have her usual majesty. Her face is full of fatigue, and her hair and body are covered with dust.

As the New Year is approaching, the street office is very diligent about sanitation and often patrols the streets. Even if Jia Zhang wants to be lazy, she can't do anything about it.

What's worse is that the street office does not provide meals, so you have to bring your own lunch. The steamed buns you carry are hard and unpalatable when the weather is cold. At the end of the day, you are half hungry and half dead from exhaustion.

Now I just want to go home and eat two warm steamed buns.

When I walked to the gate, I saw Yan Fugui and Shazhu chatting. After just listening to a few words, a surge of strength immediately surged in my tired body.

Thinking that she had never suffered such a crime in so many years, especially when people were pointing fingers at her, it made her lose face even more.

Burning with anger, his body did not feel tired, he pushed the two people in front of him away, and then rushed towards Yang Zhongyuan with a howl.

Silly Zhu and Yan Fugui were startled by the voice. They looked at Jia Zhang who was running away, looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

"The little beast who killed a thousand swords, the damn Juehu, finally came back!"

Howls sounded in the courtyard, and Yi Zhonghai, who had just returned home, felt a pain in his head.

"Every day, clean things up!"

He cursed Jia Zhang in his heart for not stopping, but he couldn't ignore it and walked out of the house immediately.

Jia Zhang's howl naturally attracted everyone's attention.

There aren't many entertainment activities these days, so watching others fight is just a pastime.

After a while, people from the front and back yards also opened the door and came out, some holding small stools. It was really not a big deal for people watching the theater.

Yang Xiaotao was pouring water on the kitchen knife and preparing to sharpen it. At this time, he heard a curse coming from the front yard. After a while, he saw an old gray sow running towards this side. The posture was stronger than Zhu Bajie's charge. too much.

"Shameless bastard, a beast who has been stabbed a thousand times, a sinister man with no one to care about his mother's life!"

"You have lacked all your virtues, and you are being despised here."

"You're full of evil, you deserve to be beaten~, you deserve to be ruined!"

As soon as Jia Zhang came, she looked at Yang Xiaotao and immediately turned on the trolling mode without caring about what he was doing. He kept talking dirty words without taking a breath.

But she wasn't brainless, she just stood outside the yard and cursed, and because of the last lesson, Ke's parents didn't dare to say it, so they had to curse him to death instead.

Yi Zhonghai, who was behind the crowd, looked ugly. He felt uncomfortable when he heard this word. He even felt sulky towards Mrs. Jia Zhang, so he slowed down and stopped talking.

Yang Xiaotao looked at Jia Zhang who was yelling and akimbo, and then glanced at his yard.

Speaking of which, Uncle Chen's house is the only one with a courtyard in this courtyard. This was a flower garden reserved when it was built. However, these days, anyone who cares about planting flowers is cleared out, but no one takes care of it.

But there is no barrier in this yard, anyone can come in and step on it.

But a yard is a yard. When the Yang family bought a house, they bought it specially, and the neighbors all knew it.

Therefore, both emotionally and legally, this yard belongs to his Yang family.

Jia Zhang was standing outside now, so he naturally ignored her.

But if you come in, don't blame him for being rude.

The ear-polluting words continued, and there were more and more people around. Uncle Chen next door also came out, looking ugly.

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, then stood up with an indifferent expression.

He knew one truth very well. No matter how much you argued with an unreasonable person who was accustomed to acting out, it would not help.

Therefore, when facing such a shameless person, the first thing to do is not to be brought to the same level by the other person, whether it is IQ or mood.

Swearing with an old pious woman is too much of a loss.

Looking around, he didn't find the first uncle, but he saw the second uncle approaching the front, the corners of his mouth raised.

"Second uncle, you are a well-known person in charge in the yard."

"You have to take care of this!"

In front of the crowd, when the second uncle Liu Haizhong heard this, he immediately puffed up his chest and belly, nodded to Yang Xiaotao, and said "You are very discerning" on his face. It was time for him to appear.

But just as he was about to imitate the leader to speak, he heard Yang Xiaotao continue to shout, "Second uncle, do you think it is illegal to curse people?"

This book was signed, and it was also the first book that A Tao signed at Qidian. (He was so excited.) There was a minimum number of words when signing the contract. A Tao wrote a million words without even thinking about it. After thinking about it, it was a bit strange. , be afraid.

Now that I have signed a contract, I naturally have to take it seriously and work harder.

There are only nine chapters in the manuscript now. If I update it twice a day, I can keep up with the pace by writing a little every day. Therefore, I hope that comrades who read the book can vote more and reward more. A Tao will definitely live up to the high expectations of comrades and publish this book. Written to one million and above. Ha ha
