Scholars in the courtyard

The New Year has just passed and everything is business as usual.

Workers go to work and students attend classes. For the sake of livelihood and construction, everyone gathers their emotions and joins the torrent of the times.

The sky was a little gloomy, and the tail left by the north wind made pedestrians shrink their necks and tighten their collars.

Yan Fugui was carrying a cloth bag containing newly issued office supplies.

However, there was no smile on Yan Fugui's face at this moment. On the contrary, he was a little serious.

When meeting familiar people, he just smiles reluctantly and then walks with his head down.

When he came back from school, he had a document in his pocket.

The principal asked him to bring it back to Yang Xiaotao.

The document was not kept confidential, so Yan Fugui opened it and read it on the way.

Just one glance made me feel uncomfortable all over. Then I walked and felt uncomfortable all the way.

There is not much content in the document, which is to allow Yangjiazhuang Primary School to purchase school supplies through Hongxing Primary School, including books, textbooks, chalk, red scarves and other teaching supplies.

At the same time, there is a subsidy from below, 500 yuan, which will be distributed together with books after the school is completed.

There is an award attached at the back, which basically means thanking Yangjiazhuang for actively cooperating with the national education construction and encouraging Yangjiazhuang to run a good school and cultivate talents for the country.

This 500 yuan is the first step of support from superiors to Yangjiazhuang.

As for what happens next, Yangjiazhuang needs to figure it out himself.

These days, teachers are also a scarce resource and can only be concentrated in public schools.

Of course, there are only a few public ones, and most of them are private education, so the ability requirements for teachers are not high.

But conditions in these places are often difficult. Teachers are human beings and have to support their families, so it is not easy to find a teacher.

Yan Fugui was mentally aware of this, but it had nothing to do with him.

It was impossible for him to go to the countryside to teach. Just because he was a city citizen, he couldn't let go.

But he still felt itchy, that was five hundred yuan.

What the hell is Yangjiazhuang Primary School?

I don’t know if private primary schools can afford teachers.

If there really is a teacher, then wouldn’t the 500 yuan belong to the city’s pocket?

Yan Fugui felt uncomfortable because he didn't want to go, and he didn't want others to get the 500 yuan in vain. He was completely jealous.

Walking all the way back to the courtyard, Yan Fugui gathered his mood and prepared to go to Yang Xiaotao's place.

No matter what, in this courtyard, Yang Xiaotao is now the 'finance master' of their family. They can exchange 35 kilograms of coarse grains from him every time. Get up and shout that you are hungry.

Walking to the central courtyard, Shazhu was picking up fish in front of the faucet. He Yuyu watched Xiaodang playing with Banggeng. The five-year-old Banggeng was as big as a tiger, while Xiaodang was a little skinny.

He Yuyu looked at Xiaodang, feeling like he was a child, with fondness in his eyes.

The door opened and Qin Huairu walked out with a basin. Seeing Sha Zhu collecting the fish, he narrowed his eyes and came to the faucet.

"Sister Qin, you are so diligent."

He Yuyu was the first to speak, and Silly Zhu also raised his head and immediately smiled.

"It's getting warmer now, so get ready to wash up."

Qin Huairu said and put the basin under the faucet. The water flowed into the basin and the person had already arrived beside Silly Zhu.

"Zhuzi, did you just buy this?"

"Ah, yes, it's not raining and I have to go to school, so I bought a fish."

Silly Zhu felt the touch on his shoulder, looked around and then laughed.

"Rain is also a blessing. With a caring brother like you, this fish looks quite big."

When Silly Zhu heard the compliments, he immediately became energetic, and the corners of his mouth reached to his ears, "It's not big, only four pounds, but this fish has few bones, so it's just right for braised rice."

"As expected, Zhu Zhu, you know how to cook. I have to go to your place to become your apprentice and learn how to cook."

"Don't hide your secrets."

Although Qin Huairu was rubbing her clothes with her hands, her eyes were always on the open fish.

"That's not possible. You have to be a master to learn both skills. I don't dare to accept you as a disciple."

"Bah, who cares about being your apprentice..."

Just as the two of them were saying this, Yan Fugui walked in from the front yard. He saw the fish in the pond at a glance and hurried over.

"Hey, third uncle, what brought you here?"

"This isn't right. It's not even time to distribute food, so you're here empty-handed?"

When Shazhu saw Yan Fugui coming over, his face was not in a good mood, and he choked when he opened his mouth.

Yan Fugui was not angry either.

Since exchanging food with Yang Xiaotao, many people in the courtyard have been gossiping about him.

Especially Silly Zhu, this guy can't deal with Yang Xiaotao, and it's even more serious when fighting him.

Naturally, Yan Fugui wouldn't argue with him. Even when the first uncle came to him, he responded with a soft knife.

If we don't exchange some food, the whole family will drink from the northwest wind.

"Looking at what you said, I can't come to this compound yet, right?"

"Shazhu, you are not a small fish. What happy event happened to you? Do you have a partner?"

Yan Fugui adjusted his glasses and looked at it, then said with a smile.

But he understands psychologically, what happy things can happen to this stupid Zhu?

find a partner? hehe

When Si Zhu heard this, he curled his lips, knowing that Yan Laoxi was mocking him, and he was indeed not the one who suffered the loss.

No one wants to please anyone by bickering with him.

This is a master who would rather kill a thousand enemies than suffer a thousand losses.

"Third uncle, if you don't know how to speak, don't speak."

"With my conditions, how long does it take to eat a fish?"

"As for you, you'd better take care of your own affairs. Don't bring the girl over when the time comes. You'll be too scared to go in when you see that she's a slut."

Silly Zhu's mouth was broken, and Yan Fu's noble face changed.

Qin Huairu, who was standing next to him, saw that the two of them were arguing again and quickly smoothed things over.

"Third uncle, seeing that you are here before you go home, is there something wrong?"

"Look, Huai Ru is still polite, respects the old and loves the young. Silly Zhu, you have to learn from it."

Yan Fugui borrowed the donkey from the slope, glanced at Silly Zhu, said a few words, then lowered his head and patted his pockets and said, "There is really something going on here this time."

"No, the principal of our Red Star Primary School entrusted me..."

Immediately, it was like the two of them started talking.

While Yan Fugui was talking to Shazhu and the others, Yang Xiaotao lay on the chair with his head raised, his face full of helplessness.

Just now, Yang Xiaotao, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't hold back and chose to upgrade the system.

The difference from before is that with this upgrade, the main skill Fitter has been directly upgraded to level seven.

That is, two levels in a row.

The reason why this situation occurs has to do with the last upgrade.

When he was at level 5, Yang Xiaotao realized that the things given by the system were discounted, and he had some guesses in his mind, but there was no substantial evidence.

But half a year later, when the credits reached 10,000, the system's prompt suddenly sounded.

At that time, Yang Xiaotao was stunned.

Why, because it’s unreasonable!

The credits for Level 3 are 2000, the credits for Level 4 are 5000, and the credits for Level 5 are 8000. The credits for Level 6 are more than 10,000.

This ratio is wrong.

Yang Xiaotao was not in a hurry to upgrade his level. After thinking for a moment, he realized that the system rewards were discounted, so the credits required for upgrading were also discounted.

Just like at level five, according to the rules of upgrading, you need at least 9,000 credits, or even 10,000 credits.

But Level 5 only requires 8,000 credits, so the benefit is only 1,000 yuan and nothing else.

From this point of view, the credits required for Level 6 should be around 12,000 to 15,000, but now 10,000 credits are enough to meet the requirements. Needless to say, the rewards will definitely have to be discounted.

Therefore, Yang Xiaotao did not choose to upgrade half a year ago, thinking whether it would get better after this period. Anyway, the credits have no shelf life.

After procrastinating, it took another half a year, and now, unexpectedly, the accumulated credits were enough to upgrade to level seven, which made Yang Xiaotao even more speechless.

This is because the system is urging him to upgrade quickly.

Putting aside the "Mechanical Principles and Structure" he had on hand, he had already thumbed through the book and knew the contents inside thoroughly. If he judged it by the credits given by the system, he would have reached the stage of mastery.

In the past few years, Yang Xiaotao has also figured out the rules of credit awards.

Even the mastery of reading is also linked to the credits.

At first, you can only get 1 to 10 credits by reading in a hurry. Later, you can get 10 to 50 credits for familiar reading, and 50 to 100 credits for intensive reading.

After that, there is reading comprehension in the upper level. If you reach the level of knowing it by heart, you can get about 200 credits. If you reach the level of mastery, you will get 300~500 points. Finally, if you have mastered it, you will get about 1,000 credits. .

Of course, high-level reading is also related to the quality of books.

A low-quality book can provide up to 100 points.

A high-quality book has endless possibilities.

Yang Xiaotao has read books in the past few years, and there are only two books that have a comprehensive understanding of the levels.

One is "Mechanical Principles and Design" which I am reading, and the other is a paper on Mendel's Laws of Inheritance that I read three years ago.

That time, we spent a lot of effort and hard work to hybridize corn.

The credits given to Yang Xiaotao by the two books were also different. Mendel's book was only given one thousand credits, but this book on Mechanical Principles and Design was obviously much thicker than Mendel's, so it was given one thousand and five credits.

More than mastering English.

Because of this, it took Yang Xiaotao one year to save up to 25,000 credits.

Looking at the credits on the panel, a long series of zeros, I feel full of pride.

But now, Yang Xiaotao, who heard the system prompts, decided to upgrade.

According to the current situation, it will not change if we continue to wait.

Might as well use it sooner.

Anyway, sooner or later it will be a knife.

Later, when the system beeped, Yang Xiaotao saw that a year of hard work was lost in one fell swoop.

The effect is that Yang Xiaotao has a bunch of more experiences in his mind. These experiences are like a series of memories. Pictures quickly shuttle through his mind. In just a moment, he remembers the flashing pictures.

The body shaking phenomenon last time was even more intense this time.

Especially the hands are more flexible in producing rhythm, and the brain feels the hands more clearly.

It's as if your hands are like a strict vernier caliper, that feeling is right.

In just one minute, Yang Xiaotao recovered from the shaking, and then he realized that his close-fitting autumn clothes were wet with sweat, and there was cold sweat on his forehead.

Yang Xiaotao stood up and stretched his muscles, then found clean clothes and changed into them before checking the rewards after the system upgrade.

"Sure enough, it's just as expected!"

Yang Xiaotao raised his head and smiled bitterly.

If you reach level 6 as a fitter, you will receive a reward of 1,500 yuan.

If you reach level 7 as a fitter, you will receive a reward of 2,000 yuan.

Then, there was none.

Just money and fitter experience.

"Forget it, the national situation is difficult and the national destiny is like this. The system must adapt to local conditions and seek perfection through humiliation!"

Yang Xiaotao was open to this.

Of course, it’s useless to look away.

Get up and get ready to cook.
