Scholars in the courtyard

Siheyuan.

In the middle courtyard, a group of old women and young wives stood in front of the door to bask in the sun, listening to the fierce quarrels coming from Jia's house. They whispered from time to time, heard a few chuckles, and then quickly listened again.

In the Jia family, Bangge was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, with his head exposed, and then he stared at Jia Zhang next to him with one eye.

There was a pungent sour smell in the room, and the floor was wet and a little sticky.

"Milk, why don't you sell your house for me to treat my illness?"

Banggeng shouted to Mrs. Jia Zhang, who was holding her head. The pain made her unable to sit still.

"Why do you think your mother will treat you after getting the money?"

When Jia Zhang heard Banggeng's questioning, especially when it came to money, her head felt much better. She even opened her eyes and looked at Banggeng lying on the bed.

"Why not? That's my mother."

"Ah!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang beat her head, doesn’t she understand Qin Huairu?

"Your dad was lying here too, but you don't know what your mom was thinking."

Jia Zhang stood up as he spoke, with a scene from the past appearing in his eyes. His son was lying here and disappeared in the end.

His eyes suddenly became sharp, "I'm telling you, your mother is so evil. She should not have been allowed to enter our house in the first place. She should have been allowed to go to the Yang family and bring harm to the Yang family."

"You're talking nonsense, my mother won't go to Yang's house."

"You just don't want to save me, you just don't want to give me your house."

Banggeng said stiffly, looking at Jia Zhang, the grandmother who usually loved him in every possible way, but this time when she came back, she noticed that his nose was no longer a nose, and his eyes were no longer his eyes.

If Xiaodang hadn't brought his sister over to play today and told him what happened a few days ago, he really wouldn't have known that this grandma was going to sell the house.

What's more important is that someone actually bought this thousand-dollar house.

If he only had this thousand yuan, he would be able to cure his illness, and he wouldn't have to lie here like a useless person.

"Hmph, here it is for you? Can you hold it!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't want to talk to her grandson. She used to think that this was the pride of their Jia family, but now, the more she looked at it, the more uncomfortable she became.

"I don't care, I want you to sell it and use the money to treat my illness."

Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted coldly and thought to herself, if she really wants to sell the money, she must treat her own head first.

"Go quickly and find Yang Xiaotao to sell the house."

Seeing that Mrs. Jia Zhang was still, Bang Gang immediately started shouting in the room.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was upset by the noise, her head ached and her whole body was exhausted. She picked up a pillow nearby and threw it over.

Woohoo~~~

My ears were instantly quiet.

My head still hurts.

He walked to the door and banged on the door frame.

Yang Xiaotao and Lou Xiao'e walked into the middle courtyard and heard a banging sound coming from Jia's house. They glanced sideways and walked straight home.

"Autumn leaves, Dragon Boat Festival!"

Lou Xiao'e had already run into the yard first and shouted to the house.

After shouting a few times, there was no movement. He turned back to look at Yang Xiaotao.

When Yang Xiaotao saw that there was no sign of Wangcai in the yard, he knew that no one was home.

"I guess he went to the courtyard."

Yang Xiaotao said something, then walked into the house and put down his things, then walked out and looked at Wang Dashan's family who was gossiping in the yard.

"Aunt Wang!"

"There are some guests coming to the house tonight, please help clean up."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the man from Wang Dashan's family immediately came over, dragging Xiao Liu's wife and several wives, "I said you bought so many things. We are going to treat guests to dinner."

"Hey, there are so many things, including meat and chicken. Who are you inviting?"

"Just a few colleagues from the machinery factory."

As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Lou Xiao'e immediately came over and explained, "Auntie, you don't know that the machinery factory is so powerful this time, and your Wang Jun will also take advantage of it."

When they heard about their children, Wang Dashan's eyes immediately widened, and then they heard Lou Xiao'e say, "Not only Wang Jun, but also workers in the machinery factory are indispensable."

When several people heard this, they immediately surrounded Lou Xiao'e. They knew Yang Xiaotao's temperament and usually did not talk about the factory in the courtyard. But Lou Xiao'e was different. She was originally from this courtyard. Everyone knew about it. She was also Yang Xiaotao's secretary. They knew it. Quite a few.

When they heard Lou Xiao'e talking about the machinery factory, the people around him were silent for a moment, and then immediately burst into cheers.

Yang Xiaotao didn't care, leaving Lou Xiao'e to help, and went out to the courtyard.

Outside the hospital, at the entrance of the alley.

Silly Zhu looked around and found no one, so he quickly came to a wall and squatted down pretending to carry his shoes.

He stretched out his hand and pressed on a brick, quickly buckled it off, then looked around to make sure no one saw it, then took out a white paper bag from his pocket and stuffed it in carefully.

After putting the bricks back, he put his hands in his hands and walked towards the courtyard step by step.

When Silly Zhu entered the yard, he saw a bunch of people working in the Yang family yard. He faintly heard some words of congratulations, and walked home with a click of his tongue.

"Master, mom, what's wrong with these people?"

"It's not even the New Year yet, so I'm getting sick."

Silly Zhu walked into the room and sat on a stool, asking angrily.

Yi Zhonghai glanced outside. He naturally heard the movement in the courtyard, but it was not good news for him.

Yi Zhonghai said nothing, while the aunt sighed and explained the situation in the machinery factory.

After hearing this, Shazhu still felt a little uncomfortable.

If he hadn't been fired from the machine factory, he would be able to get some credit now.

pity

"Zhuzi, go check on Bangge. I gave you some food at noon. It's been a long time, but I don't know how it's going."

Aunt Ma said, but Shazhu shook his head after hearing this, "What are you looking at? My grandma is there. Just wait until the meal is ready to be delivered."

As for the smell of Jia's house, most people really can't stand it.

As a cook, if he is contaminated by that strange smell, how will he prepare banquet noodles for others in the future?

Doesn't this affect business?

Seeing what Silly Zhu said, Aunt Ma had nothing to do and continued to dip the matchbox.

"Silly dad, stupid dad!"

At this time, the boy outside the door ran in with Sophora japonica and shouted when he saw Silly Zhu.

"Hey, here it is, here it is."

The two children came forward, looking hopeful.

"Tell me, you are calling me so affectionate, are you thinking about something delicious again?"

Xiaodang nodded, "Silly dad, I saw someone bought chicken. Can we eat chicken?"

"Yes, stupid dad, there is still a lot of pork."

Little Sophora Flower also said, her big eyes full of longing.

"Chicken? Wait, silly dad will cook it for you after a while."

As he said this, Shazhu hugged the two of them together, and then saw Qin Huairu walking in from outside.

"Come down quickly. You stupid dad has been tired for a long day. Stop hugging him."

"It's okay, it's okay, these two haven't even sunk a basket of coal yet."

Silly Zhu said nonchalantly, but Qin Huairu put down the basket in her hand with a smile.

"Auntie, this is the money for the matchbox, please keep it."

Then he handed a wrapped handkerchief to the aunt.

The aunt thought for a moment, then shook her head, "Huai Ru, take this money and buy some delicious food for Banggeng."

"No, Auntie, our family of four living here has already caused you enough trouble. What if we charge you more money?"

Qin Huairu shook her head firmly, saying no.

Yi Zhonghai on the side looked at this and nodded happily, "Huairu is a sensible, filial, and capable person. Zhuzi, you must cherish her."

When Silly Zhu heard this, he felt guilty in his heart, but the maturity on his face hid his inner thoughts. Then he put the two children down, stepped forward and took the money from the eldest mother's hand, "Just take what mom gave you." "

"We are not outsiders!"

After hearing this, the aunt immediately lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes casually.

Yi Zhonghai also heard the meaning of Shazhu's words, and felt even more relieved.

Now the only thing he wants is that Shazhu and Qin Huairu can provide for them in their old age.

As for the thought of having children, at least Qin Huairu has stopped thinking about it.

As for the others, he still wants to try.

yard.

Qin Jingru carried the trash can and walked out. When passing by the middle courtyard, she also heard about the machinery factory, but it didn't mean anything to her now.

No one in my family works in a machine shop.

When passing by the door of Jia's house, Qin Jingru sighed with a look on her face when she heard banging sounds inside.

The house that could be sold for one thousand yuan was suddenly messed up by this stupid woman. If she could make the decision and sell the house for five yuan a month, she would be able to live a comfortable life even if she went back to the countryside.

idiot.

He cursed in his heart, and then passed by Yi Zhonghai's house. He raised his head to see Silly Zhu, and then he met Yi Zhonghai's eyes. He was shocked in his heart, and then left quickly.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the figure that quickly disappeared, and his inner excitement became even stronger.

"It's cooking, it's cooking."

Shazhu naturally saw Qin Jingru, and this was also the time he and Qin Jingru had agreed upon.

Qin Jingru came outside the alley and saw that there were few people on the road. She endured her excitement and went to the place where Sha Zhu was hiding her things. There was no one around. She quickly opened the bricks, then held the paper package inside in her hands, and then Place the bricks in place.

Just when Qin Jingru stood up, she saw Yan Fugui leading several people from the street office in, followed by a person carrying a watering can.

Qin Jingru stood close to the wall, and Yan Fugui walked straight into the yard without looking at her.

Qin Jingru breathed a sigh of relief when they were far away. If it had been a step later, the secret would have been discovered.

"Director Li is the Jia family."

"You also know the situation in his family. When Jia Dongxu was here, there was an outbreak of infectious diseases. If they do it again this time, it is simply endangering the safety of other comrades in the yard."

Yan Fugui was talking as he walked, and Director Li nodded after listening.

"Don't worry, we will understand the situation."

As they spoke, several people came to the yard.

"Old man, let me tell you, our family will be liberated."

As soon as I entered the gate, I saw the third aunt running over and saying as if she had won a lottery. She reprocessed the words that came out of Lou Xiao'e's mouth and said them again.

"What? Really?"

"True, it must be true. Yang Xiaotao didn't even object."

"Oh, no wonder Yang Xiaotao bought so many good things today."

Yan Fugui stamped his feet happily, and then saw his boss coming back from the toilet. He calmed down again, and then walked to the middle courtyard with Director Li.

"This is it."

"Smell it, who can stand this strange smell?"

"What if there is an infectious disease?"

Yan Fugui was in high spirits during happy events, so he could only start shouting at the door of Jia's house.

There were a few people watching the excitement around, looking forward to it.

"Uncle Yan, what are you doing with all this fanfare?"

Sha Zhu came out of the house holding Sophora japonica. If he hadn't seen the presence of Li and his men, he would have rushed up to him and hit him with a hammer.

Who dares to attack his house?

"Sha Zhu, you came at the right time. You can't smell anything in this house."

"Hurry up and open the window to get some fresh air. The comrades from the street office are here to do epidemic prevention. Hurry up."

Sha Zhu felt relieved when he heard Yan Fugui say this, "You should have said it earlier."

After saying that, he put down Sophora japonica and walked inside.

In the house, Jia Zhang had already seen the people from the street office. Although it was the last time, she was still afraid of the street office instinctively.

Sha Zhu walked in and looked at Jia Zhang, then opened the doors and windows, and the sour smell in the house was dispersed a little.

The street office staff outside the door had already started spraying disinfectant.

Li looked at the house. Since he was here, he had to go in and give instructions.

Seeing this, Yan Fugui had no choice but to go in.

"Secretary Li, this room is like this, just ventilate it."

Sha Zhu smiled innocently, but his eyes were more cunning.

"He Yuzhu, winter is the peak season for diseases, you have to pay attention."

Secretary Li said, and Yan Fugui beside him also frowned and said, "Yes, you must pay attention."

Sha Zhu continued to nod.

Secretary Li glanced at the situation in the room, especially Jia Zhang, who hid aside and rubbed her head.

Alas.

With a sigh, Secretary Li was about to leave.

But just as he walked to the door, Secretary Li suddenly stepped back and his eyes fell on Bang Geng.

Sha Zhu also saw Secretary Li's gaze and hurried to Bang Geng, "Bang Geng, did you hear me? If you poop or pee, you have to scream."

Sha Zhu said and went to get the pillow covering his face.

Just the next second, everyone looked at Bang Geng under the pillow and immediately widened their eyes.

It was a purple cheek, the wide open lips were even purple, and even the only eye was deeply bulging out.

Obviously, the person was, there was no hope.
