Scholars in the courtyard

In the evening, Sha Zhu dragged a cart and walked slowly towards the courtyard.

In the cart, Jia Zhang was lying on it without a quilt. The cold bed was even colder than the one in the police station. She had a headache and her eyes were blurry, and she made a humming sound from time to time.

Hearing the sound behind him, Sha Zhu pursed his lips and pulled step by step.

In his heart, he wished that the old woman would die quickly, not only because he misunderstood his own wife, but also because he had to come back to serve her.

He had never served his own mother like this.

If it weren't for the house, he would not have suffered such grievance.

Thinking of this, he thought about how to rest in the future.

During this period, he and Qin Huairu lived in Jia's house, and they were on the same bed.

If Jia Zhang came back, would the three of them plus the two children have to squeeze together?

'If not, let Jia Zhang go to the eldest uncle's house. '

Sha Zhu thought so, it was just right to let the eldest aunt serve, and the three old people could be together.

It's really good to think so.

Besides, the old man will probably have to go back to the countryside after the New Year, so it will be more convenient.

Of course, the premise is that the old woman can survive until then.

Anyway, he doesn't want to live with the old woman.

Not only is she dirty and smelly, but she also whimpers all day long, which is depressing to hear.

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu couldn't help but miss his old house again.

It has been so long, the seal on the house has changed color, and I don't know when it can be returned to him.

If there was a house, why would he be in this situation.

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu thought of his father He Daqing again.

Although he complained in his heart, if it weren't for him, the house would not have been sealed.

Of course, he was too lazy to care about the reasons behind this, anyway, this is the reality.

Thinking of He Daqing, Sha Zhu suddenly thought of He Yushui again.

Although they said they had severed their relationship a long time ago, blood is thicker than water after all, and the two of them depended on each other for life.

'Alas! '

'Find some time, let's go and have a look. '

Sha Zhu was full of thoughts, and listening to the sound of ouch ouch, he couldn't help but speed up his pace.

In the back, Qin Huairu was full of energy.

Looking at the half-dead appearance of Jia Zhang in front and listening to the vague voice, she did not feel bored, but felt that it was good.

Reaching out and touching the document on her chest, Qin Huairu finally felt at ease.

She made up her mind that when she had time, she must go to the street office and settle the house as soon as possible.

Anyway, the house certificate was in her hands.

The three of them arrived at the gate of the courtyard smoothly, and then with the help of Sha Zhu, Jia Zhang was carried into the middle courtyard.

"Huairu, where are you going?"

Sha Zhu said, looking at the house of a master on the side.

At this time, Qin Huairu could not know his plan, but she had long regarded the original Jia family as the Qin family in her heart, and she was a little hesitant at this moment.

"I, I want to go home."

Jia Zhang saw that Sha Zhu did not move, and lay behind his neck and spoke intermittently.

Sha Zhu didn't listen. He looked around the yard again and again. When he didn't see Yi Zhonghai coming out, he carried Jia Zhang on his back and walked towards Yi Zhonghai's house.

Behind him, Qin Huairu showed a triumphant smile.

With Sha Zhu around, she didn't have to show up for these offending things.

In the yard.

The third aunt was talking to Ran Qiuye, and there were many people in the yard around her.

The New Year is coming soon, and the street office has also issued tasks to various large courtyards.

This time, the third aunt came to discuss the New Year's decoration in the courtyard with Ran Qiuye. This was a problem her husband had asked.

If Yang Xiaotao was at home, she wouldn't be needed, but if Yang Xiaotao was not at home, it would be better for the third aunt to deal with Ran Qiuye.

Ran Qiuye had no opinion on how to decorate the courtyard. As they talked, they saw Sha Zhu carrying Jia Zhang into the middle courtyard, then standing in the courtyard for a while, and carrying her directly to Yi Zhonghai's house.

Everyone was surprised when they saw it.

Jia Zhang actually came out, is this okay?

But the next second, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu came out and walked towards Jia's house.

As for Jia Zhang, there was no one.

Everyone immediately understood that this was to place Jia Zhang in Yi Zhonghai's house.

Everyone looked at each other.

This Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu are really not sons.

"I'll go and ask what's going on."

The third aunt couldn't stand it and walked out immediately.

Ran Qiuye remembered Yang Xiaotao's instructions, don't worry about the affairs of the Jia family in this courtyard and the affairs related to Qin Huairu.

Whatever you want to do.

Turned around and called Cuiping to go into the house.

"Sister Cuiping, let's spend the New Year here this time. It will be so lonely if you go back alone."

"Well, I think so too. I don't know where my dead ghost has gone to have fun."

The two walked into the house, and in the yard, Shitou was stunned and a group of children were chasing and playing on Duanwu.

On the side, Xiaodang led Huaihua to watch enviously.

A-choo

A-choo~

Yu Zecheng felt his nose itchy and sneezed twice.

Xiaobo on the side also rubbed his nose. Sometimes sneezing is contagious.

Since crossing the Huaihe River, the temperature in the train has been getting lower and lower.

When I was in Shanghai, I wore a thicker coat and still felt hot in the house.

Now I put on a cotton jacket, but I don’t feel warm.

“Director, can I take a vacation this time when I go back?”

Xiaobo asked with a smile.

Yu Zecheng looked at the dark night outside the window and nodded silently.

“It should be possible.”

He said this, but he was unsure in his heart.

In everything in Shanghai, although he did not participate in the main action, he was the soy sauce and responsible for supporting the whole process.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't know anything.

Especially at the last moment, the information revealed in Wang Wen's roar.

Obviously, the other party was calculated.

Such people are sometimes plotted against.

Who could be the person who plotted against him?

Song Tao?

Yu Zecheng denied it in his heart.

It's not that he looks down on Song Tao, but he understands Song Tao's behavior. This kind of calculation not only requires grasping the weaknesses of human nature, but also requires strong skills and full self-confidence.

All three are indispensable.

Perhaps, when I was operating underground, I could do it with the potential that exploded under crisis.

But now, his energy can't keep up, and it's difficult to do it.

That's not Song Tao, who is the person behind it?

With such a simple method, you can kill three birds with one stone and break the situation easily.

This person

Yu Zecheng thought of someone.

That guy is young and thoughtful.

It's really possible.

Thinking of this, he looked towards the end of the corridor, full of doubts and confusion.

The train roared through the ice and snow and through the night.

After passing Quancheng, there were obviously fewer people on the bus.

The seat next to Yang Xiaotao was also vacant.

So Wangcai lay inside and became Yang Xiaotao's pillow.

One person and one dog fell asleep like this all the way to Sijiu City.

When Yang Xiaotao woke up in a daze, the car was entering the station.

Outside, it was pitch black.

The lights on the platform not far away were faintly visible.

"arrive!"

With the light getting closer and closer, Yang Xiaotao checked the time, it was two o'clock in the morning.

"This speed is really gratifying."

Complaining about the speed of the train, it actually takes more than two days to get here from Shanghai.

Fortunately I'm back.

The twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Just in time for New Year's Eve.

Wangcai jumped down from his seat, shaking all over and stretching his muscles.

There were not many people in the carriage, everyone was packing their luggage and getting ready to get off.

Yang Xiaotao lined up and prepared to get off the bus.

The moment he turned around, his eyes met with Yu Zecheng's, and both of them smiled.

Without saying hello, he turned around and got out of the car in a flash.

Even though the two of them lived in the same courtyard, they didn't go back together.

"Team Yang!"

As soon as he stepped out of the platform, Yang Xiaotao saw Wang Hao waiting at the side.

"Come early?"

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and threw the luggage into the car.

"I just came here at one o'clock. I'm working the night shift tonight. It's just right."

The two got into the car, with Yang Xiaotao sitting in the passenger seat and Wangcai lying on the back seat.

"What's the factory busy with recently?"

Wang Hao drove towards the courtyard.

"Isn't this an upgrade? Secretary Liu, Director Yang, and the others are all too busy, and the leaders above also come down from time to time. By the way, Team Liang is also too busy during this period, as if it's some kind of training. "

Yang Xiaotao moved his body, "Training? It's almost the Chinese New Year, what else are you training for?"

"I don't know. It seems that the news came from Fang Liang of Northwest No. 2 Factory a few days ago. After that, Captain Liang locked himself in the room for most of the day, and then came out as if he was a different person."

Wang Hao thought of what he saw at that time. Captain Liang was clearly excited but trying to suppress it. He thought it was a good thing.

result

As a result, the brothers were drilled hard the next day.

Fortunately, he has other tasks, otherwise this year would not be stable.

The two of them came to the courtyard while talking.

In the dark night, it was pitch black outside the gate.

But the door was not closed, maybe knowing that he was coming back, he left the door open.

"Captain Yang, let me get your things for you."

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, "No, we're at the door. This little thing is nothing."

"correct."

Yang Xiaotao took out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket and said, "Go back and give them to your brothers."

"okay."

Wang Hao didn't refuse. He was used to this kind of thing.

Everyone also knows that their Mr. Yang is generous, which is why everyone is willing to get close to Yang Xiaotao.

Being of similar age, who wouldn't be happy if they get more credit for any good deeds?

"By the way, Captain Yang, I heard that the factory will hold a meeting tomorrow to distribute benefits. You can go to bed early."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, this is also a normal operation every year.

It's just that there are so many things going on this year that it's pushed to now.

But that’s okay. This year’s 29th New Year’s Eve, benefits will be distributed tomorrow, and the New Year’s Eve will be celebrated the day after tomorrow, and everyone will be lively.

Just thinking about the entertainment he would face next, Yang Xiaotao felt a little overwhelmed.

This year is definitely more lively than last year.

After opening the door, Yang Xiaotao asked Wangcai to go home first, and then he smoked a cigarette and waited at the door.

After a while, another jeep stopped and a figure walked over.

"Lao Yu!"

Yu Zecheng was not surprised to see Yang Xiaotao at the door and took two steps forward.

"Quick, show me."

"What are you doing?"

Before Yang Xiaotao could say another few words, he saw Yu Zecheng coming forward. Yang Xiaotao thought he was telling him about things in Shanghai.

"I came back in a hurry this time to help."

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes and said, "I asked you why you winked at me in the car. It turned out to be this."

Yu Zecheng ignored Yang Xiaotao and picked a few gifts from Yang Xiaotao's brought back. Then he said with satisfaction, "Isn't it because I left in a hurry? I didn't remember to prepare."

"It just so happens that you are tired carrying so many things."

"Forget it, just these few things, I can finish the job."

Yu Zecheng smiled with satisfaction, Yang Xiaotao shook his head helplessly, "What's the use of being tired, I'm already home."

"Hey, this is the vanishing cream for my wife, don't take it all, at least leave one for me."

"You, you are just robbing, wait until tomorrow to talk to Sister Cuiping, and see how you will spend the new year."

"Hey, if you say so, then we have to settle it carefully."

Yu Zecheng smiled with his eyes narrowed, with a face full of ill intentions.

"Forget it."

Yang Xiaotao knew that it was not a good thing when he saw him like this, so he simply stopped him from talking.

"Hahaha, that's right, I'm going to Shanghai with so much trouble, you should give me some hard work money."

"I don't believe you."

The two picked up their luggage and walked inside.

"I said, where have you been these days?"

"Hey, I went straight to Danantou, Yuefu, you know."

Yu Zecheng hooked Yang Xiaotao's shoulder, "I tell you, it's really nice there, it's not too cold or too hot in winter."

The two passed through the hanging flower gate and entered the middle courtyard, and saw that the lights in the Yang family's yard were still on. Wangcai was circling with Hei Nu in the yard, and Xiao Wangwang beside him was also wagging his tail.

"I'll go back first, see you tomorrow."

After saying that, Yang Xiaotao ran to the yard with his things.

Yu Zecheng looked at Yang Xiaotao's back and suddenly raised his mouth.

No matter whether it was him or not, at least, in his opinion, Yang Xiaotao did what he did and did not harm the revolution or the interests of the people.

Judging by deeds, not by heart, no one is perfect by heart.

He himself is not a perfect person, so why blame others?

After thinking it through, Yu Zecheng also ran to the backyard quickly.

'Cui Ping, I'm back! '
