Scholars in the courtyard

"Lao Jin, please hurry up and persuade me. Now that I've given you the instructions, what's wrong with having a meal?"

Near noon, Yang Xiaotao finalized the cooperation between the two parties and prepared to go home with Lao Jin.

But Secretary Ning is not happy. People are here. If they are not allowed to fulfill their duties as landlords and spread the word, doesn't it mean that they are not providing good hospitality?

"Yes, Mr. Yang, you must keep this meal!"

"That's right, it's not any extravagance, and I won't embarrass you!"

Everyone stepped forward to persuade him, and even the newly appointed Director Guo took Yang Xiaotao's hand and tried to persuade him to stay.

He felt that as long as they continued to research in the direction Yang Xiaotao said, the air conditioners in their factory could be developed for a hundred years!

In my heart, I admire Yang Xiaotao's ability even more.

Comrade Lao Jin looked at Yang Xiaotao and also showed a helpless smile.

"Old Ning, does our relationship have to be over a meal?"

"Lao Jin, our relationship really doesn't matter, but you have to listen to me this time."

Secretary Ning said very seriously, "Xiao Tao didn't stay here last time. This time he has to stay and taste our food."

"I dare not say how delicious it is, but it will definitely satisfy you."

Secretary Ning blocked the door and insisted on leaving the two of them behind.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao had to tell the truth, "Ning, Grandpa Ning, it's not that I don't want to have a drink with everyone here!"

"Really, I have to go back and pack for the 12:30 noon train!"

Hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, everyone was stunned.

"Xiao Tao is going back to celebrate the New Year. It's already twenty-six and he has to be twenty-eight to go back. This year is also a small year. If you miss today's bus, you will have to go tomorrow."

"If we delay for another day, we won't be able to celebrate the New Year!"

Lao Jin was also helpless. Secretary Ning and others looked at each other in confusion after hearing this.

"Everyone, it's not like we won't meet."

"After the new year, we will make an air conditioner. Then I will come back and have a good drink with everyone!"

Yang Xiaotao said with a smile, and everyone said no more after hearing this!

After all, the best thing is to go home.

"Okay! When the time comes, you must come to our factory!"

Secretary Ning patted Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder and said with satisfaction in his eyes.

It's hard to find a young man like him who is capable and can take care of his family.

It's a pity that if Lao Jin got his grandson back earlier, they might even be able to get married.

"Everyone, see you next year!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and waved, then went out and got in the car, leaving with a wave of arms.

"Director Guo, the next step is yours!"

After the car left the factory and disappeared from sight, Secretary Ning spoke seriously to Director Guo.

"I will give you the best workers and the most educated people in the field, and you will definitely make this R\u0026D department perfect for me!"

Director Guo nodded, "Secretary, Factory Director, and the points mentioned by Mr. Yang, I feel that every time we do something, it will be a huge progress."

"Okay, our factory has no shame in following the machinery factory."

"It's not embarrassing for you to follow a capable person like Yang Xiaotao!"

"Communicate with them more in the future, ask for advice humbly, and don't show off."

"Yes, don't worry, I know how to do it!"

…

"Grandpa, aren't you going back with me?"

Yang Xiaotao asked Lao Jin while sitting in the car.

"No, just go back and keep an eye on them."

Lao Jin shook his head. Taking the train back and forth would cost him his life.

I really don’t want to suffer anymore!

"Anyway, I'll be back after the new year, so I won't go!"

"Besides, right here, I have something to show you. This cooperation cannot be whatever they say it is."

Lao Jin's eyes were shrewd.

His group of old brothers all have a lot of tricks up their sleeves, so be careful.

"I think you have thought about a solo world!"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly laughed. Lao Jin blushed and then laughed, "That grandma of yours, it's true when you nag her, it's annoying!"

"However, I'm used to hearing it. If I can't hear it after a long time, I won't get used to it!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and listened to Lao Jin nagging on the side.

Perhaps, this is my old companion.

They hate each other, but they are inseparable and reluctant to part with each other.

"By the way, why don't you go visit the car factory?"

"Jiang Dayong has called several times."

"I heard they have new ideas for their gasoline engines."

"By the way, that machine tool factory in Jinling. Last time you went there, I didn't know where you found the news. I heard you were here, and I wanted you to go there."

Lao Jin opened his chatterbox and kept talking.

Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "Let's wait until next year to talk about that."

"Right now, I just want to go back, have a good sleep, not think about anything, and then celebrate the New Year with a lot of excitement..."

"Give yourself a holiday!"

Lao Jin didn't say much after hearing this.

When the car returned to the residence, the aunt Jin Pingping and the second sister-in-law were preparing things, some for Yang Xiaotao to use on the road and food.

Some are taken back as gifts for family members and children.

It saves Yang Xiaotao the trouble of buying gifts!

Yang Xiaotao packed up a lot and ate something simple at home. Then Zhang Kangzhan and Zhang Shengli took Yang Xiaotao to the train station.

"Big brother, second brother, go back!"

Yang Xiaotao carried a bag of things and said to Zhang Kangzhan.

Zhang Kangzhan nodded, then stepped forward to hug Yang Xiaotao.

Zhang Shengli also stepped forward.

The three of them hugged each other hard.

"Thank you, Third Brother!"

"The whole family is out of town!"

"Let's go!"

The three of them let go, and Yang Xiaotao said, "I'll treat you when we get to Sijiucheng!"

"We're going back!"

"Wangcai, say hello, and we're leaving!"

Wang...

Zhang Kangzhan and his brother looked at Wangcai and patted his dog's head with a smile.

"Let's go!"

After that, Yang Xiaotao led Wangcai to the train.

I have to say, there are so many people on the train in front of him!

If Wangcai hadn't had a collar on his neck and Yang Xiaotao had been holding him with a rope, I don't know if he would be allowed to get on the train!

After much effort, he finally found a seat. As soon as Yang Xiaotao sat down, Wangcai next to him barked twice.

And in the next car, two dog barks were heard.

Instantly, there was some kind of connection.

Yang Xiaotao looked up and looked inside. In the trance, he saw two familiar faces.

Kuchi Kuchi...

The train started slowly, the scenery quickly retreated, and finally left the station and headed north.

"Woof woof!"

Wangcai lay on the ground and barked twice. Not far away was his dog son.

Yang Xiaotao touched his head, "It's not convenient now. I'll take you there after the New Year!"

Woof...

Wangcai lay in the car, looking listless.

Yang Xiaotao looked aside and then retracted his gaze.

He knew Yu Zecheng was there, but it was really inconvenient to meet him now.

This is good for both him and himself.

In the other car, Yu Zecheng leaned back in a chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Xiaobo reminded him, "Director, I saw Wangcai, it should be him!"

Yu Zecheng nodded gently and then stopped talking.

Xiaobo understood what he meant and reached out to comfort Dalong and Xiaolong, not thinking about it anymore.

This time, they can finally go home!

……

Sijiucheng, Siheyuan!

Ran Qiuye and Zhang Qing were packing furniture in the yard.

Ran's mother was busy in the kitchen.

At home, Ran's father was sitting aside, holding Duanwu and talking to Ms. Cui.

He returned to Sijiucheng after the New Year.

He just returned to the compound yesterday after reporting his work at the Seventh Ministry of Machinery.

But after returning, he heard that so many things had happened, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

Especially the fact that his little daughter was beaten, he didn't know it at the time, but now he knows it and wants to beat her again.

Today he came to his son-in-law's house for a walk. Although Yang Xiaotao was not at home, he also made it clear that he was grateful.

"Sister-in-law, when do you think your brother will be back?"

Zhang Qing was washing dishes with warm water and asked Ran Qiuye who was washing cabbage on the side.

"Didn't I tell you that I will be back tomorrow night on the train today!"

Ran Qiuye replied with a smile, and finally felt relieved.

Yang Xiaotao called back and said that everything was going well and his family was safe, which finally made her feel relieved.

There was no need to hide it from Ms. Cui anymore!

"You're right, there are so many people in the factory, and he must go. Can't you just send a director?"

Zhang Qing said gloomily.

I really miss Yang Xiaotao's cooking!

During this period, although the food cooked by Ran's mother and Ran Qiuye was edible, it was still not as good as Yang Xiaotao's.

The food cooked by the guy next door, Shazhu, was also delicious.

"I think you don't miss your cousin, but want to eat his food!"

"Why don't you just find a chef to coax you to eat every day!"

Zhang Qing immediately quit after hearing this, "I don't want it!"

"That Shazhu is covered in grease, it smells disgusting, I don't want it!"

"Haha, our little sister wants to get married!"

Ran Qiuye grasped the key point of the words, and Zhang Qing's face blushed, but he looked up and said, "I want to find someone, and I have to find someone as capable as my cousin!"

"Haha, then you have to work harder!"

In the yard.

Qin Huairu was also cleaning up, and the broom in her hand kept sweeping the dust out of the door!

The New Year is coming soon, so it's just right to move back to the Jia family and clean up the house before it's done.

Those broken things should be thrown away, washed, tidied, and dealt with.

Under the tidying up of the hostess, it finally looks like a home.

Although it didn't take much time to go in and out, it seemed like many years had passed for her.

"Ah!"

Putting the broom next to the stove, Qin Huairu looked at the familiar furniture and sighed.

Thinking back then, when she was young, she married into the Jia family.

At that time, a family of three lived in this house.

Although Jia Zhang often ordered her around, it was natural for everyone to be ordered around by their mother-in-law.

She didn't think there was anything wrong.

Later, Banggeng was born, and the Jia family had a successor, and her days were full of joy.

At that time, the three uncles in the courtyard, with the help of Yi Zhonghai, the life of the Jia family was no worse than that of a dual-income family.

Later, Xiaodang was born.

Later...

It was the sad memories of the Jia family...

The East Room was gone, Banggeng was gone, and Jia Zhang was also going to be gone!

Wiping the tears from her eyes, Qin Huairu silently scanned the rooms on both sides, then took a deep breath, exhaled suddenly, and smiled.

Years of hard work finally paid off!

Now, the burden on her is gone!

Now, Sha Zhu helps her support the family!

Now, the Jia family, no, the Qin family, finally belongs to her!

From now on, she will live a good life every day.

She must let everyone in the courtyard see that she, Qin Huairu, is a good woman who is frugal and manages the family well and brings prosperity to her husband!

"Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu. Come out!"

Just when Qin Huairu was excited, the third aunt ran in from the hanging flower gate and shouted to Qin Huairu.

In the yard, many busy people heard it and immediately looked at the Jia family.

"Third aunt, what's the matter?"

Qin Huairu pretended to be kind and asked at the door.

Based on the golden mean of not getting close to or offending, the third aunt said loudly, "Someone from the street office asked you to go there, saying that they have something to ask you."

"Street office?"

"Yes, hurry up!"

After saying that, the third aunt ran back to the front yard. There were still a lot of things going on in this family.

Qin Huairu stood at the door, her face suddenly pale.

People around immediately guessed that it was about the Jia family's house, and there were constant discussions, and some people even showed a gloating expression on their faces.

Qin Huairu stood at the door and was undecided until Yi Zhonghai walked out from the opposite side. The two looked at each other and nodded to Qin Huairu, which made Qin Huairu make up her mind to go out.

It is a blessing, not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided.

At worst, I can just go back to live at Yi Zhonghai's house.

Anyway, that guy is useless, so I won't suffer any loss!

But, I feel a little uneasy!
