Scholars in the courtyard

Go back home and continue reading and writing.

Now, calligraphy practice is on the agenda.

Since gaining a lot of credits by practicing lunging and English, Yang Xiaotao has worked hard to improve his abilities.

Calligraphy naturally became the primary goal.

He remembered Yan Fugui's disgusting couplets during the Chinese New Year, so he practiced them and wrote them himself.

The third uncle is so angry.

In the backyard, the crying continued.

Liu Haizhong was holding a feather duster, and beside him Liu Guangtian and his two brothers were covering their arms and trembling.

Why do they both suffer because of the boss's affairs?

Looking at the aggressive bangs on the side, the two of them had more fear than resentment in their eyes.

They still don't have the ability to support themselves, or they don't have the courage to work hard on their own.

What's more, in this situation, it would be better to be at home anywhere.

Even if he is beaten and tortured, he can still have a full stomach.

However, the seeds of this hatred are buried in the soil, and one day they will take root and sprout and break through the dark soil.

Liu Guangqi was lying sideways on the bed, saying nothing or listening to anything.

The bangs banged on the edge of the bed, and the anger on his face did not diminish at all.

"Little bastard, look who you found? Huh?"

"Shanxi is so far away, what's so good about it? There are so many girls in Sijiu City, and you can't even look down on one of them?"

Liu Haizhong was furious. In fact, in his heart, he should be the one to decide on his son's marriage.

And the deeper thought is to grow up with powerful in-laws just like the Xu family.

However, Liu Haizhong prefers the children of cadres, which is also to prepare for his future career.

But who would have thought that when he heard the mistress talking about this as soon as he got off work, he immediately became angry.

He ran back quickly, and after careful confirmation, he couldn't hold back his anger. He picked up the feather duster and swung it twice, but Liu Guangqi didn't hide at all. Not only did he not hide, but there was no expression on his face. He didn't feel any sense of accomplishment after hitting it twice. It can be placed on the remaining two sons.

Now, half out of his anger, he started talking again.

The second aunt next to me also took the opportunity to speak, "Guangqi, your dad is a seventh-level blacksmith. Our family doesn't have enough to eat. We have a decent life, which is considered to be above average in this Sijiu City."

"How many girls can't find a family like ours? Why don't you cherish them?"

The second aunt had a solemn look on her face, and what she said was true.

It's a pity that Liu Guangqi ignored them at all and continued to lie half down, as if it didn't matter who came.

"You, you little beast, get up, get up for me."

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong got angry again and tried to pull Liu Guangqi's hair.

The second aunt felt sorry for her son and quickly stopped him. The two brothers next to him were trembling again. This old man didn't distinguish between people when he got angry.

"Get out of my way and I'll beat this little beast to death."

Liu Haizhong pushed the second aunt away and was about to step forward.

Liu Guangqi sat up and said, "Fight, fight."

"Don't you feel bad if you don't hit us someday? Go ahead and show off your ridiculous authority. Who will care about you except for playing around at home?"

"That's all you have. Last time Yang Xiaotao came to the door, you didn't even dare to fart. With this level, you will never be an official in your life."

Liu Guangqi also took the risk, slicing the face in his bangs like a knife, and sprinkled a handful of salt at the end.

"you you……"

Liu Hai was so angry that he threw the feather marbles at Liu Guangqi, turned around and left.

"If you dare to continue, don't enter this house!"

boom

After closing the door, Liu Haizhong walked into the house, picked up the water bottle, drank two gulps, and then smashed it on the ground.

"Beast, beast!"

There was a lot of movement in the backyard, and many people were watching the excitement at the door.

Among them, Xu Damao was the happiest. He was holding a radish in his hand, breathing hotly while chewing it, with smiles in his eyes.

Even though he and Liu Haizhong were close friends before, after watching a movie and adding in the usual small favors, his reputation in the yard has risen again.

On the contrary, Liu Haizhong's team leader has never been found.

Urgent?

It must be urgent.

For someone like Liu Haizhong, who studies the art of being an official all day long and cares about national affairs, it would be an itch if he didn't have any power at hand.

Even swinging a sledgehammer is useless.

But now, the only family that can show off its authority has an unfilial son.

Tsk tsk

Xu Damao's gloating expression was self-evident.

Seeing the mess in Liu Haizhong's family, no one around him came forward to persuade him. They all knew Liu Haizhong's temper, and even if he didn't say something bad, he would even get into a show.

Soon, the people in the backyard left and went back to their homes.

But what happened at Liu Haizhong's house spread throughout the alley.

After Yang Xiaotao heard about this, he thought that Liu Guangqi was not far away from leaving the show.

Since the quarrel between Liu Guangqi and Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangqi has been seen less and less in this courtyard.

I don't know what she was doing. Even if Xu Damao asked her when he met her, he didn't know what was going on.

All I know is that Liu Guangqi's face has become more and more anxious recently, and he looks worried when he walks.

It's been more than a month, and it's November.

The work in the factory is getting less and less, and Yang Xiaotao doesn't know how much he earns. Anyway, the food he eats is getting worse and worse.

Yang Xiaotao can also understand that to feed such a large factory with tens of thousands of workers requires a huge amount of supplies every day.

Compared with the current rural areas, at least we can still have food and be full.

In fact, the factory also wants to develop some sideline business, just like a slaughterhouse. Raising some poultry in the spare space can also improve the workers' meals.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao heard this from Wang Dashan, specifically what he raised and how much he raised.

Don't know, don't think about it, don't spread it.

More than half a year has passed, and people's minds have changed. It is a characteristic given by the times to find more ways out under the existing system, not to mention the family's stomach problems.

Unfortunately, as a key national unit, the steel rolling mill will not be short of food, but it has no other options.

Workers hold iron rice bowls, but they can only eat from the bowls.

Yang Xiaotao had no shortage of food, but under such circumstances, he could only eat alone behind closed doors.

It actually made the beasts in the yard less envious.

As for the Jia family, you don’t need to look at what life is like now to know.

Qin Huairu's due date is coming soon, but she still has to eat and wash clothes.

As for Jia Dongxu, who is no longer under pressure at work and does not need to upgrade his level as a fitter. He just hangs out in the yard after get off work. Jia Zhang only cares about the good stuff and doesn't worry about anything else.

Fortunately, with the help of Yi Zhonghai, a "well-intentioned" master, the Jia family will not run out of food.

As night fell, Yang Xiaotao was cleaning up the kennel in the yard. It was cold and Wangcai's kennel was a little thin. Yang Xiaotao found some wood and some waste newspapers sandwiched in the wood to keep it warm.

At this time, I saw a person walking in the middle courtyard, and I smelled the smell of alcohol from a distance.

After taking a quick look, he realized it was Liu Guangqi and ignored him.

Liu Guangqi's face turned red, his head shook, and his steps staggered even more.

As soon as I reached the Moon Gate, I couldn't hold it back in my throat, so I vomited it out while holding on to the wall.

Ugh~~~

Uh~~~

There was nothing in his stomach and he vomited it up, it was all acidic water, but Liu Guangqi didn't feel anything.

In my mind, there are all the scenes when we broke up.

The girl told him that they were not suitable.

A marriage without family blessing will not be happy.

The girl's euphemistic and sad determination made his heart ache, but he was speechless.

Lowering his head to wipe away the remaining saliva from his mouth, Liu Guangqi looked up at home.

The lights in the room cooled down, sending out a halo of light through the glass windows, but it made him panic and feel cold all over.

The girl's eyes came to mind again, so pure and gentle.

That was something he had never felt in this home.

"No, Xiaofang, you are wrong."

Liu Guangqi suddenly laughed.

"If you don't have family, do you still need their blessing?"

At this moment, Liu Guangqi smiled evilly, then straightened his chest and walked home.

At this moment, he made up his mind.

There was another roar from a middle-aged man in the backyard, and the faint cries of two brothers, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

After many times, everyone has become accustomed to it and regards it as a joy in life. Sometimes they can't hear it and feel that something is missing.

In the middle courtyard, Yang Xiaotao packed up the kennel and returned to the house. The sound in the backyard had become much weaker.

I thought I could read a book quietly tonight, but I didn't expect that as soon as I picked up the book, a woman's scream came from Jia's house in the middle courtyard.

Yang Xiaotao put down the book, listened for a while, and understood.

If nothing else happens, tonight will be the day Qin Huairu gives birth.

"I don't know if it's still Xiaodang."

Yang Xiaotao thought to himself that the Jia family was already very busy.

During dinner in the evening, Qin Huairu finally ate two pieces of meat and was scolded by Jia Zhang. Unexpectedly, she felt a pain in her stomach before she finished eating.

Then I felt that my amniotic water had broken, and my body became even more wet.

Qin Huairu, who had had this experience, immediately understood that the child was about to come out.

Mrs. Jia Zhang hurriedly ran out with the stick in her arms to ask for help, and also looked for the midwife.

Jia Dongxu is packing his things and preparing to give birth.

Women who have given birth once have experience. They usually go to the midwife first, and then go to the hospital if it is not possible.

Of course, Jia Dongxu doesn't think about it that much now. As for Jia Zhang, she feels sorry for the cost of going to the hospital. She shouldn't spend that money when she can be at home.

The Jia family is in a state of turmoil. For such a big thing as giving birth, the people in the hospital will help if they can.

The first aunt went to the house to accompany Qin Huairu, while Jia Zhang and the third aunt were outside directing the boiling of water.

Silly Zhu, Yiye and Jia Dongxu gathered together, and the faces of the three of them had different colors.

Jia Dongxu was completely immersed in the joy of becoming a father for the second time, and all previous difficulties were forgotten.

If I have another son, his spine will be straighter when he grows up.

Jia Dongxu thought about the people in the courtyard. Yang Xiaotao, Silly Zhu and the others didn't even have wives. Even Xu Damao, who had been married for a long time, had no children. He, Jia Dongxu, would be the only one among the young people in this courtyard to have two children.

There was even more loneliness in Shazhu's smile.

Sister Xiao Qin has another baby, but unfortunately, it's not his.

When this idea appeared in his mind, Silly Zhu was also startled.

He quickly looked at Jia Dongxu and the first man, and found that neither of them noticed him, and then he was relieved.

But he looked straight at the Jia family, and felt a little anxious when he heard the shouts coming from his ears.

Next to him, Yi Zhonghai's face was filled with envy.

He had no children, as if he had no roots. He was envious from the bottom of his heart as he watched the Jia family come out one after another.

Although he accepted Jia Dongxu as his apprentice according to the plan, and the other party also planned to provide for his retirement, he still longed for the upcoming little life.

He raised his head and glanced at Jia Dongxu, who was laughing happily, and then glanced at Xu Damao at the Moon Gate, frowning.

This guy has been married for so long and still has no children.

Could it be that Lou Xiao'e can't do it?

When he looked at the Jia family again, Yi Zhonghai suddenly had an idea that scared him. He glanced at Jia Dongxu without any trace, and then buried it in his heart.

I have something to do today, so I’ll start with two chapters.
