Scholars in the courtyard

Wang Yuhang introduced, Yang Xiaotao also stretched out his hand to shake hands with the other party, and casually said, "Hello, my name is Yang Xiaotao, I live in the courtyard of the next alley."

At this time, Tian Jing walked forward, and there was indeed a bookish air on her body. After seeing Yang Xiaotao, she showed a gentle smile, "Hello, I saw some danger just now, so I couldn't help but say a few words."

"You didn't scare the children."

Tian Jing looked at Yang Xiaotao, her face was calm, but when she looked down at the two daughters, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes. When she raised her head again, her eyes became calm again.

"None of these kids are afraid on weekdays, nothing will happen."

Yang Xiaotao saw that Duanwu was still winking at the children around him, and he knew in his heart that this little guy was not afraid of anything.

"These are your children, twin girls, so good."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the two daughters, and now it seemed that he had found a backer, and he stopped crying, but just looked at the woman, a little scared.

"These are the two little ones."

Yang Xiaotao waved at Miaomiao and Duanwu, "Come here."

The brother and sister walked up to them with their heads down, "Dad. Dad!"

One of them called out, Yang Xiaotao nodded, and then said to the two, "This is my eldest daughter and eldest son."

"Meet Uncle Wang and Aunt Tian."

"Uncle Wang, Aunt Tian!"

The two children called out in a low voice, and the two smiled. Wang Yuhang reached out and touched Duanwu's head, "Don't play this kind of game with your sister in the future. It's not good if she gets hit."

Duanwu felt the gaze of his father behind him and nodded repeatedly, "I know, Uncle Wang, we won't dare to do it again."

"Okay, okay, let's go back and eat."

Tian Jing smiled and said at the side, with no intention of pursuing the matter. Instead, she envied, "Your family is really enviable."

The words were full of envy, which made Yang Xiaotao feel surprised. Could it be that these two people don't have children?

Ahem

Wang Yuhang coughed twice when he saw Tian Jing in this state. Tian Jing looked away and smiled apologetically at Yang Xiaotao.

"Having too many children is also a problem. When it comes to education, if you relax, they will cause trouble. If you don't see them, they will do something weird."

Yang Xiaotao showed his distress as a father, and then asked, "Are you two planning to move in?"

"No one has lived in this house for a long time. Why did you choose this place?"

Yang Xiaotao looked around. When he passed by here before, no one lived here.

I heard from others that there were people in this house before, but no one came here, and it became abandoned over time.

I just didn't expect that there would be people now.

"This, this situation is a bit special."

Wang Yuhang was a little embarrassed when he spoke. At this time, an old woman came out of the house, glanced at Yang Xiaotao, and patted her twice with her hands, "What's so special, just tell the truth, and you are afraid of seeing people."

"Mom!"

Tian Jing quickly stepped forward and took the old woman's arm, shaking it to stop the old woman from talking.

Obviously, there is a hidden reason for coming here.

Wang Yuhang glanced at the old woman, then smiled awkwardly, "There are a lot of things to do in the university, and it is not suitable for us to live in the school, so we have to move out."

"This place was found with the help of the street office, and we will stay here permanently in the future."

"It happens to be quiet here, and it is also good to repair it."

Wang Yuhang showed an optimistic smile.

The old woman behind him sighed helplessly. Yang Xiaotao looked over. Although the old woman was helping to clean up in the yard, she was dressed cleanly and wiped the dirt with a handkerchief in her hand. It was obvious that she was not from a small family.

This family should not have a simple background.

However, at present, it is not very popular.

It is also clear why the street office arranged such a house for them.

When Tian Jing saw Yang Xiaotao looking over, she immediately smiled sweetly, "Mr. Yang, children need to be educated well from a young age. They don't know the depth of things now, and they don't know the severity of things. They are easily hurt."

"Thank you, Teacher Tian. I will educate them well later."

Then Yang Xiaotao had a brief exchange with the two and learned about their situation.

They are both teachers at a university. The man Wang Yuhang teaches history, and the woman Tian Jing teaches literature. As for the old woman, she is Tian Jing's mother and Wang Yuhang's mother-in-law.

The reason why the two were forced to move here is also related to the atmosphere of the school.

However, the few people just met at the moment, and they didn't say much, just exchanged general information.

After all, they will live in this area in the future, so it is inevitable to communicate with each other.

After getting to know each other, Yang Xiaotao said, "It's getting late, I won't bother you anymore. Come to our yard when you have time. If you need help, let me know. We will all be neighbors in the future, so we can help each other."

Wang Yuhang nodded politely, "Yes, we will all be neighbors in the future, and we have plenty of time."

"The house is not ready yet. When it is, I will invite Comrade Yang to have tea."

"Okay, I will bring my family to visit when the time comes."

After that, Yang Xiaotao led the child away. Behind him, Wang Yuhang could be heard explaining to the old woman. He could faintly hear things like "involving others" and "not talking nonsense", which made Yang Xiaotao more certain about the family's background.

However, there are many such things at the moment.

Although Yang Xiaotao was polite, he still had to be cautious in dealing with them.

Troubles that can be avoided should be avoided as much as possible.

Those that cannot be avoided should be solved.

Back home, Ran Qiuye was guarding the stove cooking. He saw the four siblings who had returned with their heads lowered. Even the most eccentric Rongrong stood aside and did not dare to speak. She knew that these four guys must Cause trouble.

Just when Yang Xiaotao walked in, Ran Qiuye asked, and Yang Xiaotao explained the matter.

"The other party is a university teacher?"

Ran Qiuye was quite surprised. It was not easy to be a teacher in a university these days.

If you don't have some real talent and practical skills, you really can't get in.

"Well, one studies history and the other teaches literature."

Ran Qiuye immediately showed excitement. To put it bluntly, she taught Chinese and had something to do with literature. Usually in this courtyard, Yang Xiaotao's cultural level was the highest.

As for Cuiping, Yuhua and others who usually hang out with each other, I feel embarrassed talking about literature with them.

But the communication between her and Yang Xiaotao would end up in bed, so there were not many literary exchanges.

Now, there is a university teacher teaching literature in the alley next door, and she feels like she can go there often.

Seeing Ran Qiuye's appearance, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but remind him, "Qiuye, this matter is not that simple."

Ran Qiuye was puzzled, but Yang Xiaotao waved to the children standing aside, "When you go out to play, remember not to leave the yard."

Seeing that Si Xiaojian was not criticized, he immediately ran out.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao told what he had guessed. Ran Qiuye was shocked, then fell silent, and then nodded again.

At the moment, it is better to do less than to do more.

Yang Xiaotao said no more.

Although his butterfly wings flapped very quickly, some things had to happen with a sense of awe, otherwise he would just stumble.

After dinner in the evening, Yang Xiaotao went to the backyard to inquire about news from Yu Zecheng.

Hearing that a new resident was coming to the alley next door, Yu Zecheng didn't say anything, but he already had the answer in his heart. He would investigate the matter.

Then he said that people from Shanghai had already rushed here, and the inspection team had also boarded the plane and was expected to arrive tomorrow. By then, the joint investigation would be formally established and actions would be followed up.

Yang Xiaotao has been waiting for this for a long time.

He didn't want to be in a passive state all the time, as that would be too much mental pressure.

After finishing speaking, Yang Xiaotao returned home.

Nothing happened overnight, and Yang Xiaotao went to work as usual the next day.

As for Ran Qiuye, she sent the child to Ran's house, and then rushed to the village with Miaomiao.

Machinery shop, office.

After Yang Xiaotao arrived early, he spent half an hour solving the remaining problems from yesterday.

Then before Lou Xiao'e could report today's plan, the phone on the table rang.

"Hello, Mr. Wang!"

After picking up the phone and hearing the other party announcing his home address, Yang Xiaotao became wary.

Yesterday, Mr. Chen told them through his secretary that they should be careful with the money earned by the machinery factory this time.

Be careful about what?

Just be careful of people like Mr. Wang.

"Okay, what's good? I can't eat well or sleep well now, and I'm not even in a good mood."

After hearing Mr. Wang's familiar opening remarks, Yang Xiaotao leaned on his chair and tilted his head, his vigilance rising again.

According to his guess, the next step is the key.

Be on full alert.

"Why don't you talk anymore?"

Mr. Wang was still waiting for Yang Xiaotao to ask him why he was in a bad mood, but there was no sound on the phone at all, so he had to ask himself.

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes. He was no longer cooperating. It would be better for you to ask yourself questions. Then the next step is to ask and answer your own questions.

Sure enough, Mr. Wang's voice came again, "You don't ask, but you must be thinking so in your heart."

"I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm worried about this rocket. Your father-in-law led the team to conduct experiments. They slept in the open and had no money to eat."

Mr. Wang got straight to the point. Although it was a bit euphemistic, the meaning expressed was the same. I have no money and I want to ask you for some points.

"Chief, just say you have no money, just cry about being poor."

Yang Xiaotao couldn't listen anymore, so he clicked on Ran's father several times with these few words. If he kept talking, he would probably get Ran's father to call him.

"Hey, boy, you're right."

"It's not the chief. If you don't have the money to tell me, there's nothing I can do about it."

Yang Xiaotao immediately said there was no way out, "Besides, I've already helped you with the corn thresher."

After hearing this, Mr. Wang laughed and covered it up, and then said, "What can't be done? You have many ways."

"You're talking about armored vehicles. Then you have to ask Mr. Chen. Our machinery factory is just a processing manufacturer and doesn't care about anything else."

"You think I didn't ask for it? The chief said that half will be given to the reconstruction of the disaster area, and the remaining half will be given to domestic research and development projects."

Mr. Wang replied helplessly, "It's just that all the money in the country is divided into our hands, which is 100,000 yuan. This is a one-time use and we will not give it back later."

"Then what do you mean?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't want to go around in circles with Mr. Wang, he had a lot of things to do himself.

"What I mean is, of course, I will cooperate with you."

"Cooperation? Cooperation for what? Mr. Wang, I won't do anything that breaks the law, violates taboos, or violates the machinery factory."

Mr. Wang snorted angrily, "Am I that kind of person?"

"yes!"

"Boy, can you speak properly?"

Yang Xiaotao was silent, and Mr. Wang stopped talking in circles and immediately said, "I heard from Director Han that you have a project that you need his help with?"

Yang Xiaotao thought for a while. Director Han of the Seventh Machine Department was Han Sanfeng who was researching computers.

He had asked them for help before, and even proposed that several people should jointly research small calculators.

But this was rejected by Han Sanfeng.

The reason? It was not enough manpower.

Especially not enough outstanding talents.

But this time, Mr. Wang brought it up. Could it be that the matter had been transferred?

"Chief, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Of course it's for the revolutionary construction and mutual cooperation!"

Yang Xiaotao's mind was ringing with alarm bells, and he asked tentatively, "How do you want to cooperate?"

"Hey, it's still the same as before. We provide people and cooperate with you to make that, calculators."

"Then what?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't think the other party would be so kind, especially when the other party was at a disadvantage.

"We provide people to help you, you have to pay some fees."

Sure enough!

"How much do you think is appropriate?"

"Hehe, haha, well, I think 50,000 yuan per person is quite appropriate. There are two people helping you, so 100,000 yuan will be enough."

Click

The phone was hung up.

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath, "50,000 yuan per person? Damn it, this is made of gold."
