Scholars in the courtyard

"This house..."

As soon as he entered the middle courtyard, Yang Xiaotao saw Ran Qiuye, Liu Yuhua and a group of people busy.

"You're back!"

"Grandpa!

Several people came forward to greet him, and then said, "Director Wang will come in the afternoon to finalize the house."

"Thanks to everyone's help, it was finished in half an afternoon!"

Ran Qiuye said on the side. After Grandpa Yang understood the situation, he went forward and walked into the house, looking around.

"This house is spacious and nice!"

"If you like it, you can live here!"

Yang Xiaotao joked with a smile, and Grandpa Yang immediately waved his hand, "No, no. A nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own thatched nest. I can't get used to living in this city! "

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

At dinner, Yang Xiaotao called the Taoist priest and Director Yu's family over, and they ate and chatted together, waiting for the New Year tomorrow!

The Yang family was bustling, and Yi Zhonghai's family was also not peaceful.

Although it was not as good as the Yang family's dining table, there were meat and eggs.

And Sha Zhu's cooking skills were also good.

Of course, Sha Zhu was still angry.

But under the persuasion of Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu, he could only hold back his anger.

Of course, not being able to beat Yang Xiaotao was also the most important reason.

If Yang Xiaotao was replaced by Xu Damao, do you think he would go up and beat him?

"Zhu Zi, look at it more openly!"

Yi Zhonghai poured wine for the two of them, "There are many days ahead, who can guarantee that there will be no ups and downs?"

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west!"

"We have been through all the hard and difficult days over the years, and you still can't look at this? "

Shazhu felt relieved after hearing this. He raised his glass and clinked it with Yi Zhonghai's, then drank it in one gulp.

"I just can't get over this hurdle in my heart."

"How come this good house is in the hands of this family? God is blind!"

Shazhu cursed, and Qin Huairu picked up the bottle of wine and poured it for him.

"If you are unhappy, then behave like a decent person."

"Let them all see what you, Shazhu, can do."

"Huairu is right."

A auntie nodded beside her, "People in this courtyard are all looking at people to serve dishes. They flatter whoever has ability and lean on whoever has ability."

"Zhuzi, you should also work hard since the beginning of the new year."

"Huairu and Xiaodang will rely on you in the future!"

Shazhu nodded after hearing this, then glanced at Qin Huairu, his eyes revealing a sense of pride, "Don't worry, from now on, our family in this courtyard will be no worse than anyone else. "

Qin Huairu pursed her lips and nodded. Apart from anything else, with Sha Zhu's cooking skills, he would never have to worry about food.

"Zhu Zi, come on, make one!"

Bang...

Just when the few people were eating, in the room, Jia Zhang heard the sound outside, and felt that her temples were bulging, and her head was even more painful.

She wanted to get up, but she was weak all over, and there was a hoarse sound in her throat, but no one paid attention.

The next day, just after dawn, there was the sound of firecrackers outside.

A group of children were running in the yard, and after hearing the sound, more children ran out.

Duanwu jumped off the stool without waiting to finish his meal, ran back to the house, took out a string of red cannons from his "treasure box", and then went to Yang Taiye to light incense, and ran out in a hurry.

The voice of Ms. Cui behind him came to slow down, but he ignored it.

"It's okay, let him go! "

Yang Xiaotao said indifferently.

After breakfast, everyone started to prepare for the New Year.

Yang Xiaotao was writing couplets in the study. Fortunately, there was a system to guarantee his success. He had been practicing calligraphy for the past two years, but he found the feeling after adapting for a while.

After writing the couplets, Zhang Qing and the grandfather helped to paste the couplets. They watched and learned.

There is a lot of knowledge in pasting couplets.

Ms. Cui helped to look after the children and chatted with the old people in the courtyard about the New Year.

It was the first time to celebrate the New Year in the north. Pasting couplets was different from Shanghai, and the atmosphere of the New Year was even more different.

After the couplets were pasted in the morning, the whole courtyard became red and festive, and the children's firecrackers were popping non-stop.

At noon, Yang Xiaotao grabbed a handful of melon seeds and left the courtyard.

At this time every year, Yang Xiaotao would get together with Wang Fa, Bie Tongjun and others.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao would get together with Wang Fa, Bie Tongjun and others. Walking along the road, looking at the couplets posted on both sides, and the children shouting on the roadside, the sound of clapping rang in my ears from time to time.

Then there was a burst of exclamations and laughter.

Yang Xiaotao first went to Che Wenwei's house, sat for a while, and the two came out and walked to Xing Jiaqi's house together.

At the end of the walk, the six people from the original group of the third workshop finally gathered at the home of the team leader Wang Fa.

This is also what Wang Fa has always requested. No matter what happens in the future, he will be the team leader for life.

As long as you still recognize him as the team leader, come to the house at noon on New Year's Eve!

At this time, Wang Fa's family has prepared wine and food.

Everyone sat together, eating food and drinking wine, and then talked about life and work, and said whatever they thought of.

Times have changed. Although the status is very different now, when sitting together, you can still find the feeling of the past.

"Come on, let's drink one!"

"I hope our tomorrow will be higher and higher!"

Wang Fa's face was flushed, looking at the wine in the glass, but with a smile.

"Drink! ”

…

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao helped with cooking at home.

After finishing the work, he stayed at home with his family.

Yu Zecheng was holding a water cup and a poker card in his hand, concentrating on the game.

Yang Xiaotao frowned and thought seriously.

On the other side, the Taoist looked at the cards in his hand and then at the three cards on the table, hesitating.

"Make a revolution!"

Yang Xiaotao made up his mind and spoke first.

"Rob!"

Yu Zecheng said without hesitation.

Although the word "landlord" is more sensitive in this era, after all, if someone robs to be a landlord, it will be a handle for others.

So Yang Xiaotao changed the name to "make a revolution".

Seeing that Yu Zecheng was rubbing his hands to make a revolution, the Taoist immediately shouted, "I'll rob too!"

Yang Xiaotao snorted coldly, "Three times!"

After that, he stretched out his hand and revealed the bottom card.

"Oh my god!"

Hahaha

Instantly, the two people who saw the bottom cards laughed. Ran Qiuye and Cuiping who were not far away also looked over. Zhang Qing even laughed and shouted on the paper, "One three, two fours. Hahaha..."

"Cousin, you lost all your peanuts this time, it's my turn!"

Yang Xiaotao picked up the three useless cards and said unhappily, "You are not incompetent, go find someone to play with yourself."

"No, they are all letting me play, it's boring."

"Don't talk, I want to think about how to play!"

Yang Xiaotao got serious and played a three.

"Five!"

Yu Zecheng played a card. The Taoist looked at Yang Xiaotao and smiled as he heard him begging, "One two!"

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes, "Taoist, how can you succeed in the revolution if you play like this!"

"Hey, revolutionary comrades, help each other!"

After that, he covered Yu Zecheng. Yang Xiaotao didn't see it and lowered his head and shouted, "No!"

The Taoist smiled and said, "Seven three with one!"

"No!"

"I'll do it, nine three with one."

Yu Zecheng laughed excitedly. Yang Xiaotao looked at it and felt that it was not good, but he couldn't do anything about it.

"No!"

"Straight, to A!"

"No!"

"One two, report!"

Yu Zecheng arrogantly took the last card.

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath, "Old Yu, this is a bomb of nine, you are dismantling it now, you..."

Yu Zecheng said indifferently, "What's the matter, as long as the revolution succeeds."

Yang Xiaotao was completely speechless.

"No!" The Taoist priest was immediately displeased when he heard this, "You have a pair of kings, so why are you blowing them up?" "I'm not going to blow them up, there are still a few singles! If I blow them up, it will double, and I will lose more!" "No!" Yu Zecheng laughed, and then, the bottom card was a three. "Damn..." "Quick, count how many peanuts..." The Taoist priest laughed, and he also had a bad hand in his hand. Yang Xiaotao was even more embarrassed. This poker game was a battle of wits and courage. It was really not fun. I'd better play poker with Ran Qiuye later, at least I won't lose. Zhang Qing pouted and looked disdainful, "My cousin is a fool! Not as good as me." "Go away..." "Little girl, no gambling." The room was filled with laughter. ... "It's started, it's started." Just as several people were about to share the peanuts in front of Yang Xiaotao, Liu Yuhua ran over from the side and shouted loudly. Then Ran Qiuye came over with a radio, put it on the table beside him, and turned up the volume.

Everyone held their breath and listened carefully to the voice coming out of it.

"On this day worth celebrating, I represent..."

The familiar voice came, and the people in the room immediately straightened their backs, even the naughty children were called to the front and listened carefully.

"I hope everyone can unite and move forward on the road of revolutionary construction under the leadership of the party."

"Finally, I sincerely wish the people of the whole country, workers, peasants, people's soldiers, overseas Chinese, and Chinese"

"Happy New Year and family reunion."

Pa Pa Pa Pa

The moment the voice fell, applause rang out in the room.

Front yard.

Yan Fugui sat upright on the chair, with Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi sitting in front of him.

As for the three aunts who were visiting in the yard, her voice could be heard throughout the front yard.

"Ahem, let me say a few words."

Yan Fugui coughed lightly, and then glanced at the three children.

"This, New Year, new atmosphere."

"So, starting from this New Year, we have to have a new plan."

Yan Fugui stretched out his hand and gestured on the table, then looked at the three children, "So, you guys tell me first, what plans do you have?"

Yan Jiecheng lowered his head, knowing that this meeting would not be good, and it was most likely aimed at him!

But what can he do?

His career failed, his family was broken up, and he was like a borer at home during this period.

Yes, the word borer was given by his family.

Since his family said so, what else could he refute?

It's a borer.

So when Yan Fugui spoke, he lowered his head.

Yan Jiekuang pursed his lips, then stared and asked, "Dad, the school asked us to go to the countryside."

"Should I go?"

Yan Fugui nodded after listening. For his third son, he always wanted to lead him to the path of the second son, at least not to be the same as the eldest son.

Hearing Yan Jiekuang say this, Yan Fugui asked, "What do you think? Do you want to go?"

Yan Jiekuang looked down at the table, "I don't know!"

"You don't want to go!"

Yan Fugui saw his son's thoughts at a glance. If he wanted to go, he would have said it long ago.

"I, I, my classmates all want to go, I don't know!"

Yan Fugui nodded, "Well, wait for me to figure it out for you!"

Yan Jiekuang didn't say anything more, then Yan Fugui glanced at Yan Jiedi, and then turned his head away.

This little girl is still young.

"Boss, what do you think?"

Yan Fugui set his target on the boss Yan Jiecheng.

"No!"

Yan Jiecheng spoke immediately.

"Then I'll say one for you."

Yan Fugui spoke, Yan Jiecheng didn't say anything, but he knew in his heart that it was nothing more than finding a job to pay for the family.

He had long been used to it.

"The first one is to find a job, even if it's temporary, you can earn some money to support yourself."

Sure enough.

'I knew he didn't have good intentions! '

Yan Jiecheng said in his heart, and then nodded to show that he knew.

"The second one, I told your mother that you are getting older and older, and it's not good to be single all the time, so I want to find you a head of the family."

"Our Yan family must have a child to carry on the family line. The second child went to the northwest, and I don't know if he can come back in this life. The third child is still young..."

Yan Fugui was still talking, but Yan Jiecheng understood the meaning of the words, that he was going to find him a wife.

Instantly, he became energetic.

In this courtyard, even Sha Zhu has a widow, let alone him?

If Qin Huairu didn't look down on him, he would also want it!

"This, this is good!"

Yan Jiecheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Yan Fugui smiled with relief, "Okay, then it's settled."

"After the New Year, you go find a job, and then your mother and I will arrange it for you..."

"If it doesn't work, find someone in the countryside, don't worry, Dad won't let you suffer a loss!"

Seeing Yan Jiecheng agree, Yan Fugui finally put down the stone in his heart.
