Scholars in the courtyard

"Sister Cuiping, just spoil him like this!"

Ran Qiuye sat drinking water from a water cup, and Cuiping sat next to him with a smile on his face.

"Pretend, pretend it hard for me!"

"What am I pretending to be? This kid dared to light a fire. Fortunately, it was a firewood pile and I found it early!"

"What if someone burns down their house?"

"What will happen to this guy in the future if he doesn't teach him a lesson!"

Ran Qiuye said, Cuiping was still smiling.

"You're still pretending to me. With just a few slaps from you, if you use a little force, he can still run and jump?"

Ran Qiuye glared angrily after hearing this, "I'm teaching him a lesson!"

"If you really want to teach him a lesson, you might as well take good care of your men!"

Cuiping picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water. "Duanwu is the time for learning. Learn whatever you see."

"Didn't he learn how to smoke and light a fire from his father?"

Ran Qiuye nodded after hearing this, "That's right!"

In my impression, Yang Xiaotao smoked a lot.

He despised meeting people and would take out his cigarettes even when chatting with people in the courtyard. From this point of view, it was indeed Yang Xiaotao who took the lead!

I thought to myself, I must tell Yang Xiaotao when he comes back, at least not to smoke in front of the children.

"Okay, this time the little guy got beaten, let's think about it later!"

Cuiping changed the topic and then said what he wanted to say, "Qiuye, do you still have the medicinal wine you gave me last time at home?"

Ran Qiuye was startled, then stared at Cuiping.

"Sister Cuiping, Director Yu is not at home, why do you want a drink?"

As he spoke, his face looked a little playful.

"Oh, you damn girl, what are you thinking about? I'm that kind of person."

Ran Qiuye nodded seriously, "Yeah! Sister Cuiping is a person who doesn't stick to trivial matters!"

"Go, stop talking nonsense! Talk about business!"

Cuiping spoke, and Ran Qiuye became serious, "I still have some at home. I gave some to Aunt Zhou and Yuhua last time, but I don't have much left at home."

"What's the matter, so anxious?"

Cuiping nodded, "A distant relative of mine heard the news from somewhere, saying that the medicinal wine in our courtyard had been spread, and he specifically inquired to find me!"

"As you know, those on the market are all copycat versions. I think it's better to get the original version!"

“Just come over here and ask for your order!”

Hearing what Cuiping said, Ran Qiuye didn't think much, walked into the back room, took a bottle and handed it to Cuiping.

Cuiping took it unceremoniously, and then said, "I'm going to buy pork tonight. This time I will let you have a taste of my craftsmanship."

Ran Qiuye's calves softened after hearing this. Just as he was about to refuse, he saw Cuiping leaving the yard, and then showed a wry smile.

This Cuiping braised pork is no ordinary braised pork!

However, Ran Qiuye suddenly frowned when he heard Cuiping talking about medicinal wine.

She heard some news from the village these days, which seemed to be related to medicinal wine.

She didn't care about the spread of the prescription. After all, Yang Xiaotao had already made preparations for this when he announced the formula!

But she would never allow anyone to use medicinal wine to ruin the reputation of the Yang family.

Especially in this, there is fraud and speculation!

Thinking of this, Ran Qiuye looked at the Qin family in the courtyard.

Qin family.

Qin Huairu looked at the wine bottle in front of her with worry.

In recent times, my income has dropped sharply!

I used to go there every other day, and I got pretty good results every time.

But now there has been no news for a long time, and she has gained nothing when she returned to the village. This made her wonder if someone was trying to steal business from her.

Fortunately, after some investigation, this was not the case, so I felt relieved.

Later, the reason was finally found.

That means the medicinal wine was mixed with too much water!

After mixing it with water, the efficacy of the medicine plummets. In this case, everyone is not a fool. Comparing it with usual, it is clear whether it has any effect.

Especially in rural areas, when old ladies get together and say something, the whole village knows about it.

In addition, someone almost died some time ago. Although she was not involved in the end, it also affected her credibility.

Qin Huairu knew all this.

But knowing it is one thing, there is nothing you can do to change her!

In the past, a set of medicinal materials cost less than one yuan in total.

But now, you can’t even buy it in a drug store for one dollar!

Not only have the prices of some medicinal materials increased, but the medicinal materials have also begun to be limited!

"Huai Ru, why don't you buy some wine and medicinal materials?"

The aunt was naturally aware of the situation. One bottle of wine was divided into two bottles, which seemed to reduce costs and make money.

In fact, it is the financial path that is cut off. This is not the way to run a long-term business. You must be honest!

"Auntie, how can we have so much money?"

Qin Huairu smiled bitterly. It's not that she doesn't understand this, it's just that she doesn't have much money!

The aunt was helpless after hearing this. There was no money left at home, and even if she looked at the ways to make money, she couldn't find a way!

"If it doesn't work, just talk to Jingru!"

Qin Huairu gritted her teeth and said, before, she was preventing her from causing trouble to herself, but now...

If you can't do it alone, let's work together!

"By the way, what have Jingru been doing these past two days? I haven't seen you for a long time!"

The eldest mother shook her head after hearing this, "I heard it's better to get along with the people outside the alley..."

Alley entrance.

Qin Jingru was talking to a woman with short hair that reached her ears. Looking at the two of them talking happily, it was clear that they had a good relationship.

"well!"

"Sister, you are a pathetic person too!"

Tian Jing took Qin Jingru's hand and spoke very emotionally.

Qin Jingru felt warm in her heart. This feeling of being cared for and understood by others was something she had never experienced before.

Even her cousin Qin Huairu didn't feel this way.

"Sister Jing..."

Qin Jingru was a little moved. Looking at Tian Jing's caring eyes, she wanted to take out her heart and heat it up with all her strength!

Since new residents moved into the alley, she has been coming here often.

Previously, I learned that this woman had no children, so I wanted to sell my medicinal wine.

Unexpectedly, as the two got closer and closer, they gradually got better.

On weekdays, the other party was generous when we came here to visit, and he would always let her eat!

"Sister, don't be like this. It's still a long time, but it's not long..."

Tian Jing opened his mouth to comfort him. The more Qin Jingru listened, the more comfortable he felt, and his sense of Tian Jing became better and better.

After the two of them had finished talking, Qin Jingru was ready to leave.

"Jingru, I also know your situation in the courtyard. I have no other intentions here. I just hope that you can live your own life in peace and don't interfere with the affairs in the courtyard..."

Tian Jing said, revealing her true feelings, which made Qin Jingru's heart warm, "Sister Jing, you, you are better than my own sister!"

"Silly girl, go back quickly, I have to go to school today..."

"Okay, Sister Jing, please go slower on the road..."

After saying that, Qin Jingru reluctantly left.

When Tian Jing saw Qin Jingru leaving, an imperceptible light flashed in her eyes.

Yang Xiaotao has not come back yet. This is what he learned from Ran Qiuye in the courtyard.

Of course, no one in the courtyard knew exactly where Yang Xiaotao went.

Ran Qiuye couldn't tell either.

But it is enough to know that Yang Xiaotao has not come back, and they still have a chance.

"There are still too few people to come into contact with. It's better to stay in a courtyard."

Tian Jing was thinking about when to bring something to the courtyard. The reason was that he would visit Qin Jingru's house.

By the way, there's also the medicinal wine.

I have to say, it works well for men.

If it's not your own body.

One must be born.

With the decision made, Tian Jing turned around and walked home.

Just as she turned around, a man passed by on a bicycle.

When he saw someone appearing, he instinctively lowered his head and pretended to be very polite.

After the cyclist had gone away, he raised his head and walked forward.

On the bicycle, Yu Zecheng walked for a while and then looked back.

Quick memories in my mind.

Soon information about the woman emerged.

Tian Jing.

University teacher.

There is no problem with the parentage investigation.

Feeling relieved, he immediately walked towards the courtyard.

As soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw Qin Jingru waving her pigtails and jumping into the courtyard. Without looking at her, Yu Zecheng stopped the car and prepared to enter.

"Director Yu, you came back early today."

At the door of the front yard, Yan Fugui was cleaning the windows. Seeing that it was getting cold, the windows at home had to be cleaned in advance to save ventilation.

"Uncle Yan, I'm busy."

Yu Zecheng stopped to say hello. After all, he was from the same courtyard and the steward of the courtyard. He didn't have much time to say a few words.

"Hey, isn't this a plan for a rainy day? You can't wait until the wind comes to repair it. It's too late."

Yan Fugui said with a smile. He knew in his heart that in this courtyard, the person who should not be provoked the most was Yang Xiaotao. Apart from him, it was the Yu Zecheng family in front of him.

Seeing Yan Fugui's appearance, Yu Zecheng also wanted to ask a few more questions.

After all, these people hang out in the alley all day long, and some things cannot be explained clearly than they can see.

"Uncle Yan, there hasn't been much going on in the alley lately."

When Yu Zecheng asked, Yan Fugui was stunned.

What does it mean?

Ask him if something happened in the alley?

This, what should I say?

Yan Fugui suddenly felt a little entangled, and he was even more afraid that something would happen if he said nothing happened. Wouldn't that be dereliction of duty?

But if something happens, you have to say something.

Suddenly, an idea came to Yan Fugui's mind, and it was just right to say it now.

Yu Zecheng didn't expect Yan Fugui to have so many mental activities, so he just asked casually. Seeing that Yan Fugui didn't speak, he prepared to drive into the yard.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Yan Fugui actually spoke.

"Hey, Director Yu, there's really something going on in our alley."

As soon as he said this, Yu Zeli stopped immediately, turned around in surprise and asked, "What's the matter?"

Seeing this, Yan Fugui said a little embarrassedly, "Well, that was what I wanted to tell Yang Xiaotao, but I just didn't have time yet."

"Just in case you asked, I'll tell you."

Yu Zecheng parked the car, then took out a box of cigarettes and handed one to Yan Fugui. Yan Fugui didn't smoke, but just kept it in his hand for the holidays.

"My family has a large population. In line with the fine tradition of frugality, I went to the countryside and exchanged white flour for some stick noodles. You also know this."

Yu Zecheng nodded. There were many people in the city who did this.

The village always steams steamed buns when there are weddings or weddings, so the noodles used are naturally good.

Both parties are voluntary, and no one else has anything to say.

"This time my wife went to the countryside to exchange things. I heard from the villagers that if there is any medicinal wine available, it can help people."

"I estimate that this medicinal wine should have been announced by Xiao Tao last time. Some people have used it for personal gain. This is not a good thing. You have to take a closer look."

Yu Zecheng frowned slightly after hearing this. This kind of thing did sound a bit strange at first glance.

But after careful consideration, Yang Xiaotao has announced it, so he is not afraid of being known.

As for spreading it to the countryside, it does not violate Yang Xiaotao's original intention.

Besides, it is not too much to send some things for this kind of assistance.

It's like going to the countryside to show movies. Those projectionists always get a lot of local specialties every time they go to the countryside.

Yu Zecheng thinks that Yan Fugui is too late to say this now.

Jealousy is at work.

He subconsciously wants to speak, but he thinks that he is the one who asked, and the other party is cooperating with his work.

"Director Yu, I guess it was the Qin sisters who did it. My third child saw them buy a lot of wine and medicinal materials."

"Who?"

Yan Fugui was interrupted and swallowed his saliva, then whispered, "It should be Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru."

Yu Zecheng frowned again, thinking of Tian Jing who met at the entrance of the alley, and Qin Jingru when he entered the door, and a light flashed in his mind.

Qin Jingru, Tian Jing.

The identities of the two people emerged in his mind.

After a long time, he looked at Yan Fugui and smiled, "I know about this matter, don't say anything."

"I know, I know."

Yan Fugui smiled, some things just need to be mentioned.

Watching Yu Zecheng leave, Yan Fugui continued to clean the windows.

After passing the moon gate, Yu Zecheng's eyes swept across the middle courtyard and finally landed on the door of Qin's house.

There, Qin Huairu was discussing something with Qin Jingru.

Yu Zecheng walked away calmly and then came to the backyard.

In the evening, Yu Zecheng saw Cuiping preparing to cook, and the deep memories in his mind suddenly emerged, and then he thought of something.

"Cuiping, I have something urgent, so I'm going back first."

Cuiping, who was cooking, frowned, "I'm in a hurry to come back, and I'm in a hurry to leave. Can't you leave after dinner?"

Yu Zecheng said wow and went out.

His eyes stayed on Qin Jingru for a moment, and then left.
