Scholars in the courtyard

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Liang Zuoxin was ready to go out, "I will take the people there myself."

"Okay, if you have news, please inform me as soon as possible."

Yang Xiaotao yawned as he spoke. He hadn't closed his eyes all night, so he just lay down for a while.

Siheyuan.

Ran Qiuye looked at the children waiting in the yard and complained to Yang Xiaotao in her heart.

She waited until midnight last night.

I thought I would come back and was well prepared, but I didn't know that it was dawn and there was still no one around.

When I got up in the morning, I was still a little worried. I didn't see anyone yet, and I didn't have the heart to take my children out to play.

"Mom, did dad go to the ICBC?"

Miao Miao saw Ran Qiuye's worry and asked in a low voice.

Yueyue and Rongrong beside them also raised their heads after hearing this, with curiosity on their faces.

"Well, this is possible."

Ran Qiuye touched Miaomiao's little head, and then shouted to Duanwu, "Duanwu, go to the backyard to find your Aunt Cuiping."

After hearing this, Duanwu immediately ran to the backyard with a bamboo water gun.

Miaomiao led her two younger sisters to play with the people in the courtyard.

forecourt.

Yan Fugui sent someone to set up the table a long time ago, and the third aunt even got up early and took several old ladies to cook at home.

At this time, Yan Fugui came to the middle courtyard, saw Ran Qiuye, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask about the situation.

"Xiao Tao, didn't you come back last night?"

Ran Qiuye smiled and nodded, "Maybe the factory is busy with something. When the time comes, I can represent you."

Yan Fugui smiled and said, "Okay, Teacher Ran, no, no, Director Ran is here to participate. That will be even more brilliant."

The two chatted, and Yan Fugui went to the front to make arrangements. Today, there were not only people from the courtyard, but also someone from the countryside. This time, he specially arranged to meet Yan Jiecheng.

It just shows your financial resources and status, and saves the time of meeting, so you can achieve multiple things with one stone.

When Liu Yuhua saw Ran Qiuye, she led Xiao Yu over.

A few people got together, Ran Qiuye took some fruits from home, and a group of people sat in the yard.

"Qiuye, this uncle Yan's plan is really loud."

Liu Yuhua picked up a cucumber, rubbed it with her hands, and pulled out the small thorns on the outside. Then she washed it with water from a ladle, broke it in half, and gave it to Miao Miao and Xiao Yu.

Then another one was given to Yueyue and Rongrong.

"Xiao Tao said this yesterday, and for no other reason than because Yan Jiefang is a worker in the workshop, he has to go there."

Liu Yuhua nodded, "I asked Kuizi to come over and do it. Anyway, it's two yuan, no more."

"Besides, this uncle Yan's dishonesty doesn't even cost two yuan for a table of food."

The two were talking, and Cuiping came over with Duanwu in his arms. Behind him, Xiao Shitou was holding a basketball, which Duanwu had given him, and he was following behind with a smile.

"Sister Ping, where is your old man?"

Liu Yuhua and Cuiping have similar tempers. They are straightforward, and Cuiping doesn't mind.

"Who knows where he died? He didn't come back last night. He probably spent the night on his desk."

As Cuiping spoke, he picked up the tomatoes on the plate, threw one to Little Stone, picked it up and took a bite, "Qiuye, your tomatoes are so sweet, what kind are they?"

Ran Qiuye also picked up one. It was the first batch of ripe tomatoes in the yard. "I don't know, Xiao Tao said they are native persimmons from the countryside."

"Tu persimmon?"

“A place where water and soil support a person, is it related to water and soil?”

Liu Yuhua interjected from the side and said that she has also eaten native persimmons. They are sour and a bit sour when they are ripe.

"By the way, where is your man?"

Cuiping looked around and saw no trace of Yang Xiaotao. Ran Qiuye shook his head and said, "I didn't come back last night."

"These men have given up their homes for work."

Cuiping complained, then looked at Liu Yuhua, "Your family is better."

Liu Yuhua was stunned for a moment, then straightened up her chest and said, "Then let's try to get another pair of chopsticks."

Ran Qiuye pursed her lips and smiled after hearing this. Cuiping snorted coldly, "I can give birth too."

The three people were laughing in the yard. Not far away, a group of Miaomiao children were playing, skipping rope, playing shuttlecock, and playing basketball.

Extremely festive.

Beside the yard, Silly Zhu was sitting in the house, drinking water from a jar, with a mocking look on his face.

"Just like Yan Laokou, what kind of delicious food can he come up with?"

"Auntie, if you ask me, one dollar is too much. Please prepare fifty cents, that's enough."

Silly Zhu said at the side, but Qin Huairu nodded in approval, "Yes, Auntie, one dollar is a lot. He, Yan Fugui, just invited a thank you banquet, and the real owner hasn't come back yet, so he can't commit so much. "

The eldest mother looked a little embarrassed when she heard that. In those years when Yan Fugui followed Yi Zhonghai, the two families helped him a lot.

Now that her child is getting married, she doesn’t think a dollar is much.

"Yes, fifty cents is enough. Our family will also contribute fifty cents. When the time comes, we will take Xiao Danghuaihua with us."

Qin Huairu said on the side that when they had a small business, their family set up a banquet in the courtyard, and Yan Fugui led the whole family to eat at several tables for only fifty cents.

Although the Jia family is gone, she will always remember her hatred.

"Yes, that's it."

Shazhu nodded angrily after hearing this, "In those days, Yan Lao made all the donations from Sosou. I think we are all a family, so don't give up just one dollar, just fifty cents will be enough."

The eldest mother felt a little sorry after hearing this, but Shazhu stood up directly and said, "That's it."

"I'll go try the third aunt's craftsmanship later."

"Hmph~~"

After saying that, he walked out with his hands behind his back. The auntie could hear that Sha Zhu was angry that Yan Fugui didn't ask him to cook.

At noon, three tables were set up in the open space in the front yard, and two tables were set up in Yan's house.

The men were outside, and the women went inside. The children were not at the table, so they waited beside their mothers, taking the food from time to time, eating a bite and running out.

Ran Qiuye sat with Cuiping, but the children at home didn't come, so Liu Yuhua helped to watch them.

Anyway, there was food at home, so there was no need to join in the fun.

Everyone was eating, and suddenly there was a noise in the yard, and there were also sounds of fighting.

Ran Qiuye put down his chopsticks and followed everyone out, and saw Sha Zhu tackle Yan into a hug and throw him to the ground, and then he was stepped on by Sha Zhu.

Yan Fugui was shaking with anger, unable to speak, and the people around him immediately stepped forward to help.

Zhou Kui saw Ran Qiuye coming out, and hurried over to protect her.

It looks like Sha Zhu is looking for trouble today, so we can't let him do whatever he wants.

"Sha Zhu, you heartless man, what are you going to do?"

Auntie No. 3 rushed out and hit Sha Zhu.

Qin Huairu on the side also ran over to pull Sha Zhu. They were just eating, but hitting people was not okay.

Sha Zhu was pushed aside by Auntie No. 3 and Qin Huairu, and Yan Jiecheng stood up while rubbing his lower back.

"Sha Zhu, you, you wait."

"Don't think I don't know, it's you, who is having an affair with Qin Jingru, and..."

"You are talking nonsense, I will kick you to death."

When Sha Zhu heard about Qin Jingru, he immediately understood that Yan Jiecheng was the spy of the Xu family in this courtyard. He couldn't suppress his anger at all, and he directly shook off Auntie No. 3 and Qin Huairu, and kicked Yan Jiecheng in the stomach with a flying kick.

Stop!

The next second, Sha Zhu's body suddenly tilted, his eyes looked at the person who supported Yan Jiecheng, his brows furrowed.

At this time, Yan Jiecheng was so scared that he stepped back again and again, and the person who supported him also stepped back.

But this person, looking at Sha Zhu, was also stunned.

The next second, the two people's eyes met, and then quickly separated, as if nothing happened.

And Yan Fugui, who shouted, stood aside, with a sad and angry expression.

To outsiders, it seemed that Sha Zhu gave Yan Fugui face, but in fact, Sha Zhu's heart was on the man just now.

That woman.

That corn pile was the beginning of his becoming a man.

But I didn't expect to meet this woman here.

Shen Cuihua.

At this time, Shen Cuihua didn't expect that she was called up by the matchmaker this time, saying that she was going to meet Yan Jiecheng and attend a banquet by the way.

I just took a look at Yan Jiecheng in the house. He looks pretty good, but he doesn't look energetic. If he were in the village, he probably wouldn't be able to have a child.

Later, when she saw Yan Jiecheng being bullied, she stepped forward to stop the fight.

But she didn't expect to run into Sha Zhu here.

Although the two of them were doing it secretly, they had been close to each other and their appearances had long been seen clearly. The reason why they didn't get involved was just to get what they needed.

"Sha Zhu, if you dare to make trouble again, I will go to the street office to sue you."

Yan Fugui said angrily, and Sha Zhu didn't care.

"Go, go, it was your eldest son who started it first, so what?"

Yan Jiecheng shouted immediately after hearing it, "You are talking nonsense, Sha Zhu, you were the first to say it."

"What did you say?"

"You"

Yan Jiecheng still had some reason and didn't say it.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu sneered, "It's true that you are a waste. You stay at home all day and wait for death. Whoever marries you will be in trouble."

"You"

"You are a bastard, you are also a bastard who can't give birth to a son."

Yan Jiecheng wanted to talk about Sha Zhu and Qin Jingru, but he didn't say it when he thought of Yan Fugui's instructions.

But saying this stimulated Sha Zhu more than talking about Qin Jingru.

"You bastard, I'll kill you."

Sha Zhu rushed forward with a howl, and this time he didn't care about the woman next to him, and directly wrestled with Yan Jiecheng.

Qin Huairu on the side also had a cold face. Isn't this scolding her for not giving birth to Sha Zhu?

Even the aunt felt bad after hearing this.

"Jie Kuang, call someone to go to the police station."

Yan Fugui saw that the good banquet was ruined by Sha Zhu. If this got to the ears of the second son, what would the bride think?

"Zhuzi, go home, go home soon."

When Auntie Yi saw Yan Fugui was about to call for help, she hurried forward to persuade Sha Zhu and dragged him to the middle courtyard.

Qin Huairu snorted coldly and glanced at Auntie Yi's family, "Uncle Yan, don't say we don't give you face."

"Today's incident clearly showed that Yan Jiecheng was the first to start."

"My Zhuzi just said two truths. If you go to the street office or the police station, the same logic will apply."

"I don't believe that you can't fight back after being beaten?"

Yan Fugui felt dizzy after hearing this. Thanks to Auntie Yi's support, he didn't fall down this time.

Qin Jingru watched the excitement from the side and guessed what happened to Yan Jiecheng. Seeing that he was beaten badly by Sha Zhu, she was happy.

At this time, Shen Cuihua stood aside, listening to Sha Zhu's words about Yan Jiecheng, and seeing Yan Jiecheng's miserable appearance, she was extremely disappointed.

This time, he did not help, but stood aside, waiting to leave.

With Sha Zhu's departure, he could not eat the meal.

Ran Qiuye led his people back to the middle courtyard, and the others left one after another, leaving behind a messy front yard, and Yan Fugui who wanted to cry but had no tears, and Yan Jiecheng with a bruised face.

"Catch him, you must catch him!"

Yan Jiecheng shouted loudly, his heart full of resentment.

Yan Fugui said nothing, and took the leftovers on the table home with the third aunt.

As for Shen Cuihua, who was standing by, staying with the matchmaker, the attitude on her face had already shown that this person was not a good match.

Just thinking of Sha Zhu just now, he was a little undecided.

At this time, Sha Zhu, who had returned home, lay on the bed, and the picture that appeared in his mind was locked on the pile of corn stalks.

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Sha Zhu got up and walked out in Qin Huairu's puzzled eyes.

"Zhu Zi, what are you doing?"

"Go out for a walk."

Leaving a word, Sha Zhu passed the hanging flower gate, looked at the messy front yard, snorted in front of Yan Fugui's door, and then walked out.

But as soon as he went out, he saw the fat man from the coal station running over.

"Master He, Master He."

Sha Zhu was in a bad mood, and he didn't look good when he saw the fat man.

"Mani-mani, what are you yelling about? I can hear you."

"Master He, there's a big job tonight, and they're offering this much."

The fat man ran up to him, stretched out his hand, opened and clenched his fist.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu's brows relaxed, "Fifty?"

"Yes!"

"This is a big job for me. I need to prepare three tables tonight. I thought of you when I took this job."

When Sha Zhu heard that there was money to be made and things to take away, he immediately laughed, "What kind of job, tell me."

"Hey, I'm from the military compound, looking for someone to entertain relatives and friends."

"Okay, I'll take this job!"
