Scholars in the courtyard

People come and go, time slips away quietly.

Gu Gu Gu Gu~

There was a rumble in his stomach and a strong protest from his stomach, which made Yang Xiaotao come back to his senses and look away from the book.

Practice has once again proven that if you use your brain too much, you will get hungry.

Studying is also physical work!

He shook his head, moved his neck, rubbed his face with his hands, yawned, and felt much more awake.

Just as he was about to stretch, but before he raised his arms, Yang Xiaotao noticed a girl sitting next to him.

The distance between the two of them was no more than half a meter on the 1.5-meter table. When Yang Xiaotao turned his head to look around, the girl also felt the gaze from the side. She raised her head and raised the corner of her mouth to say hello silently, and then continued to read.

With just a glance, Yang Xiaotao's eyes lit up.

He had an oval face, big eyes, two black braids tied with red ropes, and looked at him with a Hexu smile on his face.

Although it was only for a moment, Yang Xiaotao felt like a spring breeze.

I've seen this girl.

Deep down in his heart, Yang Xiaotao himself found the ridiculous sentence funny.

He is not Jia Baoyu, and the person in front of him is not Sister Lin.

He raised his hand and looked at the time. It was already past twelve o'clock.

There were many empty seats around, and Yang Xiaotao planned to find a place to have lunch.

In order to save time, Yang Xiaotao prepared a lunch box.

He got up and came to Master Gu, asked for some hot water, then walked to the table next to him, took out the aluminum lunch box and opened it, revealing the scallion pancakes inside and two slices of ham sausage underneath.

Next to it, there are two greasy fried eggs.

The alluring aroma instantly aroused greedy insects, and the cooing sound made them even more happy.

Yang Xiaotao picked up the fried egg and took a bite first to suppress his greed.

He took out a salted duck egg from the space and nibbled the skin lightly. Yang Xiaotao picked a piece of egg white with chopsticks and stuffed it into his mouth. The salty aroma instantly filled his mouth, like a squirrel foraging for food, chewing bulgingly.

Gudu

After swallowing it in one gulp, Yang Xiaotao hurriedly took two more bites as the sound of his hungry stomach was still ringing.

After finishing a scallion pancake, the sound was not suppressed, but kept coming.

After picking up the kettle and taking a few sips, Yang Xiaotao realized that the voice was not his own.

With Xiaowei's help, Yang Xiaotao's physical fitness is superior to ordinary people in all aspects, and his vision and hearing are also sharper than ordinary people.

Hearing the sound, I glanced around and realized that the girl in the seat just now was covering her stomach with one hand and turning her head to the side. It could be seen from her red ears that the sound was hers.

Yang Xiaotao was also a little embarrassed, and then he slowed down his eating speed and tried to keep his voice as low as possible so as not to attract the girl's attention.

Fortunately, there were few people around and the distance was far away, so no one noticed it.

But how can this hunger be controlled by the brain?

The harder the girl held her belly, the louder the gurgling sound became.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao looked at the girl from the side and became more and more sure that he had definitely seen this girl before.

It's not because the girl is beautiful that she remembers her, but because of the inherent impression in her mind.

I just can’t remember where it is!

Since it looked familiar, Yang Xiaotao wanted to find out.

But he didn't dare to go over there blatantly, for fear of being misunderstood. If he did, he would be called a hooligan. Even if the people who came here were intellectuals, they would still be chased and beaten.

In fact, if you want to come to the library again later, you have to go to the almanac.

After thinking for a while, Yang Xiaotao closed the lunch box, stood up and returned to his original seat.

The girl felt a little embarrassed and wanted to get up and leave without being too embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, before the girl could get up, Yang Xiaotao placed the lunch box in front of her.

The girl was surprised and glanced at Yang Xiaotao with a blushing face.

"Well, I'm sorry to disturb you from reading. Me"

Yang Xiaotao was so overwhelmed by this sight that he completely forgot what he had planned.

Looking at the girl's face, he was stunned for a moment.

The thin oval face has a blush, and the whole body has a gentle reading temperament. It may not be the most beautiful and stunning, but it is the most attractive.

"No, it's okay!"

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was only looking at her, the girl was a little panicked, and because she had made a fool of herself before, her ears turned red again.

The voice is very soft, slow, and gentle.

Hearing the reply, Yang Xiaotao quickly recovered and knew that it was disrespectful to stare at the girl like this.

After returning to normal, my IQ went online.

But just when Yang Xiaotao was about to speak, he invited the girl to eat together.

But the girl stood up, wiped the ends of her hair behind her ears, held the book in her arms, and left the table.

Take two quick steps, and a light green dress sways like a blooming lotus.

Then slow down and straighten your body, like a proud lotus, straight in the middle and straight on the outside, with no vines or branches.

He walked out step by step without any panic.

The girl left and walked away, and Yang Xiaotao came back to his senses.

Snapped

Fists and palms hitting each other.

"How reckless!"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the disappearing figure and laughed at himself helplessly.

In this era, things between men and women were much more reserved than in later generations.

Even after getting married, the two of them would deliberately keep distance from each other when walking on the road, and the unmarried girl would stay far away from the boy.

Of course, there are also many people with unrestrained personalities.

Yang Xiaotao has a deep understanding of this during his time as a teacher.

The eleven or twelve-year-old brats in the class, especially the boys, did not dare to speak to girls at all.

If you say anything, you will be laughed at collectively.

Yang Xiaotao couldn't stand it. Boys were so coquettish that they were not as bold as girls.

The lunch box was opened, Yang Xiaotao picked up the pancake and ate it.

The beautiful image in his heart was hidden in the bottom of his heart. Yang Xiaotao finished his meal and continued reading.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao closed the book.

This textbook on mechanical materials is more profound than basic theoretical design. After reading it for a day, you can only understand it.

If you want to continue studying, it will take some time.

Closing the book, Yang Xiaotao closed his eyes.

"Looks like I have to eat it by force."

Yang Xiaotao thought.

The so-called forced eating is a method Yang Xiaotao learned.

As his physical fitness improves, Yang Xiaotao's memory becomes stronger and stronger.

Coupled with the experience of learning English, there is a special way of reading and learning.

Regardless of whether you understand it or not, just memorize it first and then talk about it.

After memorizing it, eat and digest it bit by bit.

Regardless of whether others understand it or not, Yang Xiaotao thinks this method works very well for him.

After grabbing my things, I put my bag on my back and went to the bookshelf to pick out a few books on literature before heading to the library management office.

"Master Gu, these are the books."

Master Gu, who was drinking tea, took it over, registered it in the book, asked Yang Xiaotao to sign it, and then asked, "How is your paper going before I have time to ask?"

"What else can I do? I just didn't like it."

"What paper? Can you please take a look at it?"

"Next time, I'll show you a copy."

"Okay, let's go quickly, it's going to rain today."

"Okay, let's go."

Turning around and leaving the library, Yang Xiaotao looked up at the gloomy sky and walked towards the courtyard.

When he got home, he saw Zhou Peng playing with Wangcai outside the yard. Yang Xiaotao hurried into the house and called Zhou Peng in.

He put down his schoolbag, took out a water bottle and got a glass of water, then took out two apples and handed them to Zhou Peng.

Zhou Peng was not polite, picked it up and took a few bites.

"Brother Tao, we have some clues about what you told me last time."

Yang Xiaotao sat aside, "What's going on?"

Zhou Peng swallowed the apple and then began to talk about the investigation over the past few days.

With the identity of the factory protection team, during inspections, some parts of the factory can be entered and exited at will, and the security team can also get wind of the situation.

This time, I also overheard something while following the people from the security department on duty.

It turns out that Qian Yixing entered the Security Department through the path of Deputy Factory Director Li. The exact relationship between the two is unclear.

Moreover, Zhou Peng also knew that behind Deputy Director Li was a big leader in the department, who was the boss of the immediate boss of the steel rolling mill.

Of course, it may not be directly subordinate, but it also means that the status is not small.

In Sijiucheng, those who can become the immediate boss of the steel rolling mill are all registered in the ministry, and those who can become the superiors of the immediate boss have names at the highest level.

Li Huaide married the leader's daughter and became his son-in-law.

Don't think it's a son-in-law who comes to your house, he still needs to be divided.

Liu Guangqi, who is also the son-in-law of the second uncle's family, is not doing well. In movies and TV series, he still wants to come back to take advantage of the second uncle.

But Li Huaide is not just a door-to-door son-in-law.

This guy has the power and means. He knows how to follow the crowd and how to judge the situation. Although he is greedy for money and lust, he does not leave any clues in his affairs, making it difficult for others to catch his tail.

This is also the reason why he rose to prominence all the way.

Yang Xiaotao realized that Li Huaide had a very strong backing, so hard that if he wanted to get rid of Li Huaide, ordinary methods might not work.

Unless you use unconventional means like you did with Qian Yixing, it will make people confused.

But this is only a last resort.

At least, there is no direct conflict between him and Li Huaide.

Regardless of whether he is greedy for money or lustful, as long as he is not offended, Yang Xiaotao will not care about him.

But if he is offended, Yang Xiaotao doesn't mind an accidental destruction.

Then Zhou Peng talked about the situation in the factory. Yang Xiaotao felt a little strange when he heard about the kitchen.

Yang Xiaotao still knew what was going on in the kitchen. After all, the people in the kitchen who were in the courtyard still couldn't hide things in their hearts.

Even though Yang Xiaotao didn't deliberately inquire about it, he couldn't help but spread the word all day long.

The food in the factory is not good now, many workers are not eating well, and they have a lot of opinions about the cooks.

In this regard, the people in the kitchen were helpless.

It's just that it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Without ingredients, they are cooks, not buyers.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao suddenly remembered that Qian Yixing became the buyer, followed by Li Huaide, and the back kitchen happened to be managed by Li Huaide.

Is there any secret in this?

No, there must be a secret.

Yang Xiaotao thought of Li Huaide's greed for money and lust. If he didn't do anything about the kitchen, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.

But no one has discovered this yet, and that’s the problem.

Although Silly Zhu is lacking in strength, his cleverness cannot be underestimated.

A shrewd person like Sha Zhu in the kitchen would definitely be able to notice if something happened.

The only way to avoid being discovered is to do nothing or have someone cover for them.

Moreover, this person must be an insider.

The people in the kitchen!

Yang Xiaotao suddenly remembered a human life.

That person is also Li Huaide's lover.
