Scholars in the courtyard

Guanjiazhuangzi.

The sun is shining and everything is flourishing.

The rain this year has come more frequently, and with the proper care of the villagers, the autumn corns are all thick and full, which is a bumper year.

Zhang Dayou carried half a bottle of wine in one hand and two pig trotters in the other hand, and walked towards Shazhu's house.

The so-called Shazhu's house is naturally Shen Cuihua's house.

Since Shazhu became the taker after his divorce from Qin Huairu, the Shen family has become Shazhu's home.

He has taken root in this Guanjiazhuangzi.

Especially, Shen Cuihua is pregnant with "his" child.

Shazhu is even more careful to serve.

Because of the relationship with Shen Cuihua and the child in her belly, Zhang Dayou, as the village chief, takes special care of Shazhu.

Not only did he hand over the village kitchen to Shazhu and let him be the foreman, but he also brought things to his home from time to time to cook, and the rest of the things were naturally left to his family.

This can also be regarded as compensation for the child.

"Captain, you are here."

"Oh, pig's trotters, this is a good thing, not small."

Sha Zhu was sharpening a knife at home. When he looked up and saw Zhang Dayou coming in with something, he immediately put down the kitchen knife and went forward to greet him.

"Isn't this because I went to the town to pay the public grain? The leader of the grain station gave it to me."

Zhang Dayou threw two pig's trotters to Sha Zhu, but his eyes were looking at the woman who came out of the house.

Shen Cuihua.

Although it was announced to the public that she was three months pregnant, in fact, she was four months pregnant and her body was already showing, and Shen Cuihua also became plump.

It can be seen that Sha Zhu served her well.

When Shen Cuihua saw Zhang Dayou staring at her, a trace of unnaturalness appeared on her face.

It was originally agreed that after marrying Sha Zhu, she would have nothing to do with him.

Even if she gave birth to a child, the surname would be Sha, no, He.

There would be no involvement between the two.

But during this period, Zhang Dayou would get close to Sha Zhu every now and then, either taking care of him in the village or taking care of him at work, and even bringing things to his home.

Just like now.

Shen Cuihua knew clearly what Zhang Dayou was planning, and Sha Zhu had nothing to say to her. Not only did he take good care of her, but even the daughter left by her ex-husband also called him dad.

The family was together, and it was like having a family.

So she didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Dayou, because she was afraid of losing the happiness that she had finally obtained.

However, after a long time, she couldn't say much.

After all, Sha Zhu was the head of the family, and he was really stupid.

"Come in and sit down."

"Cuihua, serve tea."

"I'll go clean up."

Sha Zhu smiled happily and waved to Shen Cuihua, indicating that he would entertain her well.

In his opinion, as long as he got along well with Captain Zhang, life in this village would not be difficult.

"Let me clean up. You are the man of the family. How can a woman be with guests?"

Shen Cuihua didn't want to be involved with Zhang Dayou anymore, so she walked to Sha Zhu and said.

Sha Zhu shook his head, "No, it's a physical job to clean up these pig feet. What if you get tired?"

"Make some tea while I'll finish it here soon!"

At this point, looking at Zhang Dayou not far away, he lowered his voice and said, "I think I can leave half of these two pig feet for us, so you and Xiao Shiliu can have some."

"But"

"It's okay, don't worry, I know."

Sha Zhu interrupted Shen Cuihua and said confidently.

Shen Cuihua took a deep breath, nodded, and then walked into the house.

"Cuihua, is the child okay?"

In the house, Zhang Dayou looked at Shen Cuihua's back, turned around to look at the father and daughter who were cleaning the pig feet, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand and asked.

This woman is much more beautiful than the skinny yellow-faced woman at home.

When we were together before, these two pieces of meat were my favorite.

Slap

Shen Cuihua turned around and slapped her arm, her eyes fierce, "Mr. Zhang, if you want this child to live well, don't think about it as before."

"Otherwise, let alone you are the team leader, even if you are the village party secretary, I have ways to deal with you."

Zhang Dayou touched his arm, his face was surprised.

In his mind, he should be able to continue to have a relationship with this woman.

But how

Zhang Dayou changed his face, "Cuihua, you are not really planning to be with this idiot, are you?"

"Shut up, he is my man."

"I tell you, Zhang Dayou, you'd better think it through. If some things are known by others, we will both die."

Shen Cuihua said in a low voice.

Zhang Dayou licked his tongue, then looked at Shen Cuihua's belly, swallowed his saliva, and nodded.

"Cuihua, you know, there are six girls in my family, and we are just missing a boy."

"If it's a son, I, I want to be his godfather."

After hearing this, Shen Cuihua turned around and handed the tea to Zhang Dayou, "Who knows if it's a son or a daughter, we'll tell you when the time comes."

"As long as Sha Zhu is willing, I have no objection."

Anyway, it will help the family, why not do it?

She didn't want Sha Zhu to be too tired.

As for the future, at most, she can give Sha Zhu another child.

No, it's a few!

"The old people in the village said that your belly is pointed, it must be a son."

"By then, I, Old Zhang, will have a descendant."

"Haha!"

Zhang Dayou laughed, and Sha Zhu heard the noise outside and walked in, "What's wrong?"

"What good things are you talking about."

Shen Cuihua smiled at Sha Zhu, her eyes full of tenderness, and then said, "Captain Zhang said that tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, let's go back to see the old man."

"He also said that we should go by bicycle."

"Really? Really?"

Sha Zhu said excitedly.

Since leaving the Siheyuan, he has dreamed of going back to see it.

Even though there is no place for him there.

But it is still the heaviest concern in his heart.

Zhang Dayou nodded awkwardly, and then nodded under the gaze of Sha Zhu and Shen Cuihua, "Yes, I told the village party secretary that this, this Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, we have to go back, go back and see."

"You have been out for so long, it's time to go back on the reunion day, go back!"

"Captain Zhang, thank you very much, you drink tea first, I'll go to cook, it will be ready soon"

Said Sha Zhu ran out, came to the yard, looked up at the sun that was about to set, and the faces in the Siheyuan appeared in his mind.

Finally, a familiar face appeared in his mind and lingered for a long time.

"Forget it, let's go back and take a look."

"Thank you, village chief, thank you, fellow villagers, thank you"

Caojiagou.

Yi Zhonghai also waved to everyone and thanked them continuously.

After more than three months of hard work, he finally had time to go back to Siheyuan.

After getting the news, he didn't care even if it was late.

He just wanted to go back to Sijiucheng and Siheyuan as soon as possible.

Here, he didn't want to stay any longer.

Looking back, Yi Zhonghai identified the direction and walked towards Sijiucheng.

No matter how far the road was, no matter how late it was, he couldn't resist his desire to go home.

In the middle of the night.

Yi Zhonghai entered Sijiucheng.

At this moment, his legs were like hanging two stones, and his steps were a little slow, but his face was extremely persistent.

Even the road he had walked on made him feel familiar.

The scenes of the past also emerged in his mind, allowing him to use memories to get rid of his fatigue and move forward step by step with his mental strength.

The patrolman saw Yi Zhonghai walking alone and looked very tired, so he went forward to investigate.

After checking, he confirmed his identity and let him go.

Then he gritted his teeth and insisted.

The moon was rounder tonight, and the lights on the road were brighter than usual.

When he came to the alley where the courtyard was located, he looked at everything familiar around him, and two lines of hot tears were surging in his eyes.

He tried not to cry, and endured his excitement, and walked into the alley.

Boom~~~

Just as he was about to enter the alley, there was a sound of a car behind him.

Then two lights shone over, stretching his figure long.

Swish!

The car stopped, and he looked back quickly.

He saw a figure jumping out of the car, holding a lot of bags and talking to the people in the car.

That person was familiar.

Then thinking about who in this yard could take a car, the result was self-evident.

Yang Xiaotao.

A complex look flashed in his eyes, but Yi Zhonghai didn't look at him again. Instead, he walked quickly towards the courtyard with the last bit of strength in his heart.

When Yi Zhonghai left, Yang Xiaotao retracted his peripheral vision.

He had already noticed Yi Zhonghai. Although he was surprised to meet him so late, he didn't take it to heart.

This guy is no longer the same as before, and he is no longer the Yang Xiaotao of the past.

"Xiaobo, I don't care about you anymore."

"Wang Hao, you arrange for Captain Hao to stay."

"Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone stay at home to celebrate the festival, and come to pick me up the day after tomorrow."

Yang Xiaotao told Wang Hao, and Wang Hao nodded, "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I will definitely arrange it for you."

Hao Pingchuan also smiled and said, "This mission is finally over, find a place to sleep first."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and nodded, then waved goodbye to the three people.

As the rumble of the car faded away, Yang Xiaotao turned around and walked into the yard with his backpack.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he had another bag in his hand.

"Woof woof~"

In the middle courtyard, when Yi Zhonghai just came in, Hei Niu barked twice vigilantly.

In this courtyard, Wangcai and Hei Niu usually don't bark, especially at night, for fear of disturbing people's rest.

But every time they bark, it means something is happening.

The people in the courtyard have long figured out this experience.

So, when Wangcai stopped Hei Niu, the lights in Yang's house were already on.

Ran Qiuye had just laid down not long ago, and before he fell asleep, he heard Hei Niu's call, and immediately turned on the lights and came out to see.

The Zhou family and Wang Dashan's family next door also turned on the lights when they heard the sound.

After a while, Wang Dashan and Zhou Kui came out.

When they looked, Yi Zhonghai was resting against the wall.

The fast walk just now consumed most of his energy, and now he heard the dog barking, so he rested at the hanging flower gate next to him.

Looking up at Ran Qiuye and then at the others, Yi Zhonghai went straight home without saying anything.

Bang Bang

There was a knock on the door.

Soon, a middle-aged woman appeared at the door, and then she called out "old man" with deep affection.

After Ran Qiuye saw that it was Yi Zhonghai, she hurriedly scolded, "Hei Niu, go back to sleep."

Wang Dashan and the others just glanced at Yi Zhonghai, said nothing, and turned back to the house.

Woof woof~

Just when Ran Qiuye was about to go back to the house, Wangcai followed and called again. Ran Qiuye hurriedly opened his mouth to scold, but found that someone was walking over outside the hanging flower door.

"Are you welcoming me?"

Ran Qiuye widened her eyes, and then saw Yang Xiaotao walking towards her step by step, and then came to the yard and threw the bag aside, hugging her in Ran Qiuye's surprised eyes.

"Wife, I'm back."

Instantly, Ran Qiuye's tears could not stop flowing.

"You, why are you back just now!"

After saying that, he went into the house.

It was windy and rainy all night.

The next day, the sun was high in the sky.

Yang Xiaotao was still sleeping, and he felt his chest was suddenly pressed several times.

Chubby little guy, Yang Xiaotao didn't need to guess who it was.

He closed his eyes and reached out to hug the two little guys, and then stretched out his hand to tickle them.

Hahaha

Hehehe

I don't dare, I don't dare.

Big sister, save me

Brother, save me

Yueyue and Rongrong were tickled and giggled and shouted.

Yang Xiaotao still closed his eyes, and then he felt two more people coming up on his back, and heard Duanwu's voice in his ears, let go of my sister.

This time it was a complete mess.

Ran Qiuye, who was preparing meals, smiled with relief at the noisy family.

Just seeing the Duanwu hanging on her back, she couldn't help but touch her belly again.

I don't know if she can get pregnant after so many times last night.

It would be nice if she had another son.

Ring, ring, ring

Just as Ran Qiuye was lost in thought, a bell sounded in her ears.

It was the sound of a bicycle.

The only ones with bicycles in the yard were their family and Sister Cuiping in the backyard. Yesterday, Sister Cuiping took people back to her hometown to celebrate the festival. Could it be that she came back again today?

Ran Qiuye looked back hurriedly.

She saw a bicycle coming in from the hanging flower gate, with a fish hanging on the bicycle and a pig's foot hanging on the other side.

A little girl was sitting on the beam of the bicycle, looking around with a pair of big eyes, looking very scared.

When she saw the person clearly, Ran Qiuye exclaimed, "Silly Zhu!"
