Scholars in the courtyard

When night fell, Yang Xiaotao drove back to the courtyard.

At this time, the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival had not yet dissipated in the courtyard, and the aroma of mooncakes was still lingering in the air. The moon above the head appeared before it was completely dark, as if welcoming the upcoming National Day celebration.

The entire courtyard was shrouded in the festive atmosphere, which made people in it more joyful.

"Brother Tao!"

Before entering the house, Zhou Kui came over, touching the back of his head. People who are familiar with him know that when this action is made, it means that this guy has something on his mind!

"Kuizi, come in and sit down!"

Yang Xiaotao said, pushing open the door and walking into the house.

Originally, Yang Xiaotao wanted to go back to Yangjiazhuang to pick up his wife and children, but he was too busy at the machinery factory. Looking at the time, he called Yangjiazhuang and went back tomorrow.

And tomorrow is the National Day.

"Did you go home last night?"

Yang Xiaotao sat down, took out the kettle and poured water. Zhou Kui took the cup and nodded with a smile, "Yes, I did!"

"Where are Yuhua and Xiaoyu?"

"They went back to their parents' home!"

"Didn't you eat?"

"No!"

The two talked quickly, and Yang Xiaotao got up and walked to the kitchen without being polite.

"Come and help me. There will be more people tonight!"

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Zhou Kui immediately went to help.

Opening the cupboard, Yang Xiaotao took out pork ribs and some fruits and vegetables from the system space.

Zhou Kui was busy making a fire and didn't pay attention.

Then Yang Xiaotao went to the yard to cut some leeks, and then began to prepare the ingredients.

The Garuda knife in his hand was used smoothly, and four dishes and a soup were prepared in a short while.

In the plan, there should not be many people coming tonight.

In addition to the old Taoist, there is now another Zhou Kui.

As for the others, if there are few people, call Wang Dashan.

After all, they live in the same courtyard.

After preparing the food, Yang Xiaotao began to cook.

Zhou Kui was burning a fire nearby, and he lit the stove and put a large iron kettle on to boil water for tea.

"How is Aunt Zhou? I heard that she caught a cold some time ago?"

Yang Xiaotao asked while cleaning the ribs.

Calculating her age, Aunt Zhou is over 60.

I still remember that when he first crossed over, he brought food to Zhou's house.

At that time, even if Zhou's family had nothing to eat, Aunt Zhou would take it all out.

Fortunately, with his help over the years, life has been getting better and better, and now there are children and grandchildren.

But time is unforgiving, and he is old, and he has suffered a lot in the past, so his body is not as good as before.

He stayed in bed for more than a week because of a cold.

Zhou Kui nodded at first, "Mom, it's great! But, I don't eat much!"

Yang Xiaotao said indifferently, "I still have this milk powder at home. Yueyue and the others didn't finish it. You can take it back and let Auntie drink it!"

Zhou Kui wanted to refuse, but seeing that Yang Xiaotao was busy cooking and didn't give him a chance to refuse, he had to nod in agreement.

"What about Zhou Peng? Has this kid become more stable after getting married?"

"I heard that he has been running around a lot recently. Does his wife have any objections?"

"Also, they have been together for so long, why haven't they made any progress?"

Speaking of this, Yang Xiaotao frowned.

Auntie Zhou also came to ask for medicinal wine at the beginning. Could it be that Zhou Peng is a guy who can't be helped?

Zhou Kui opened his mouth and finally shook his head, "No, there is no movement!"

"Did you go to the hospital for a checkup?"

Zhou Kui shook his head again, "No, I don't know!"

Yang Xiaotao put down the kitchen knife and said seriously, "I have to go back and talk to Yuhua. You are the elder brother like a father and the elder sister-in-law like a mother. You have to talk about this matter."

"It's really inconvenient. Qiuye and I can come forward."

"Tao, Brother Tao, I'll go!"

Zhou Kui hurriedly agreed to the matter. It's not that he doesn't believe Yang Xiaotao, but Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye don't need to do this.

And he can see that his brother loves his sister-in-law very much.

Because his sister-in-law works far from home in the textile factory, he gave her a bicycle and walked to work.

Usually, my mother also mentioned the matter of having children in a vague way, but Zhou Peng always took it on.

In fact, before they got married, the two brothers slept in the same bed and knew everything.

This matter is most likely about the sister-in-law.

But they didn't dare to tell Zhou Peng.

Now that Yang Xiaotao mentioned it, he could talk about it.

Yang Xiaotao heard Zhou Kui say this and realized that there was something wrong with Zhou Peng.

But this was their family affair, and it was better for him not to interfere.

Then the two of them talked casually and chatted.

But looking at Zhou Kui's appearance, it should be a private matter, and this time he came, if not Liu Yuhua, it should be for his family's affairs.

Yang Xiaotao was thinking in his mind, and when he was about to ask, Zhou Kui spoke a little timidly.

"Brother Tao."

"Big sister, Xiaoyun is not going to school, it's not good, she has to go to the village..."

Zhou Kui was a little nervous, and the more nervous he was, the more he stumbled, making it very difficult for Yang Xiaotao to listen.

But when he heard Xiaoyun's name, Yang Xiaotao immediately understood that he was here for his younger sister Zhou Yun.

The Zhou family has two sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter Zhou Yun is called Zhou Yun, and the younger daughter is called Zhou Li.

Calculated, the eldest daughter Zhou Yun should be in junior high school this year, but he forgot which day of the year.

But now it seems that it should be about Zhou Yun's work.

"You mean, Xiao Yun was arranged to go to the countryside?"

Yang Xiaotao interrupted Zhou Kui's stuttering, and Zhou Kui nodded immediately.

"Yes, yes!"

After saying that, Zhou Kui looked at Yang Xiaotao. He didn't need to say the next words, but he had already made his attitude clear.

And Yang Xiaotao is also thinking about how to arrange Zhou Yun.

If it was a man, it would be easy for Yang Xiaotao to arrange it.

Whether it's a machinery factory, a machine repair shop, or a steel factory, just give me a job and work on it first, and wait for a while to get better.

As for what happens next, it all depends on your future.

But for girls, it's a little more difficult to arrange.

The best choice is naturally to go to the textile factory.

For girls like Zhou Yun who have gone to school, that is the best place to go.

But last time because of Fatty Ding, Yang Xiaotao had already contacted the textile factory and owed Factory Director Zhai a favor.

Moreover, it is not easy to enter a textile factory. There are also carrots and pits inside.

However, it is just a little more difficult.

If you really want to call the textile factory, it will happen nine times out of ten.

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xiaotao said, "Go back and ask Xiaoyun if she wants to go to the textile factory."

"If she wants to go, I'll make arrangements for her."

Yang Xiaotao gave the guarantee, and Zhou Kui immediately smiled and nodded.

Being able to go to a textile factory is already the best arrangement, what else should you consider?

If Zhou Yun wasn't around, he would have agreed!

After saying what he was thinking, Zhou Kui immediately became energetic. The two of them were busy in the kitchen, and soon the aroma of the food was wafting in the courtyard.

Qin family.

Qin Huairu looked at Qin Jingru coming to eat again and shook her head helplessly.

They don't have much food at home, but at least they still have some food.

But this guy doesn’t have enough food at home.

"Sister, have you seen it?"

Qin Jingru sat next to the window, looking in the direction of the Yang family.

“There’s fish, meat, and the aroma of rice!”

"Sister, why do they have so many delicious food at home!"

Qin Jingru swallowed her saliva and asked without looking back.

Qin Huairu didn't even bother to answer after hearing these silly words.

Although she also felt sick in her stomach.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival, although Shazhu brought back a pig's foot, there was not enough food for so many people.

In the end, they all drank a bowl of broth to fill their bellies.

Then I thought of the look on Si Zhu's face before leaving. Although it was full of regret, it was also determined.

In other words, between her and Shen Cuihua, Silly Zhu chose the latter.

This choice made her feel very uncomfortable.

And without a man in the family, she also realized the hardship of life.

Especially, compared with the people in the courtyard.

"Sister, I'm talking to you!"

Qin Jingru came over angrily and sat down, then picked up the dough on the table and took a bite. However, the rough dough made her throat dry and she had to struggle to swallow it.

"I heard it. If you want to eat, just go and ask for it!"

Qin Huairu said without raising her head.

Qin Jingru immediately stopped eating after hearing this, "If I could have it, I would have it long ago."

"I was waiting for him at the entrance of the village..."

Qin Jingru walked along Wowotou and talked about what happened in those years.

"Yeah, it's a pity that people don't like you as a rural girl, but they like you as a city girl!"

Qin Huairu waited for Qin Jingru to finish speaking, and then immediately poured cold water on her.

Qin Jingru snorted coldly, and then counterattacked, "What about you?"

"You were fine in the Yang family back then, why did you marry that dead guy?"

"If it were you, let alone five yuan, it would be five hundred or five thousand."

Qin Huairu's breath was stagnant, and she felt that the scar in her heart was being uncovered, and black and red blood was flowing.

Seeing Qin Huairu stunned and speechless, Qin Jingru understood that she had spoken too seriously and quickly shut up.

"Who can see clearly what will happen in the future!"

Qin Huairu uttered a sentence coldly.

Both of them were silent.

After a long time, Qin Jingru spoke again.

"Sister, have you ever thought about finding someone!"

Qin Huairu suddenly looked up at Qin Jingru.

"What do you mean?"

Qin Jingru moved her butt and swayed on the stool, "What's the point of me? I just want to see you raising two children by yourself and taking care of a aunt and the others."

"I've had my last meal but haven't had a second meal. I'll think about it for you."

"Besides, with your current conditions and a house in the city, it won't be difficult to find a man!"

Qin Jingru said, but she was thinking in her heart that the only one she could rely on in this courtyard was her cousin.

Things are getting better for her cousin's family, and she can also benefit from it.

Qin Huairu was a little moved after hearing this.

Silly column, there is no hope.

It's hard to say whether he can come back this year.

Yi Zhonghai?

This guy is not much better than Silly Pillar.

And Qin Jingru is right, she has a house in Sijiu City!

Not only that, he inherited the Jia family’s wealth, in addition to a sewing machine, as well as the original Jia Zhang family’s private money.

That gold ring can also be exchanged for money at critical moments.

Therefore, to find a man, it is best to find a man to marry into. For her, there will be no harm at all!

At this moment, Qin Huairu was a little excited!

"Sister, how are you? Are you excited?"

Qin Jingru saw Qin Huairu's face and immediately understood what the other party was thinking, so she asked immediately.

Qin Huairu pretended to be reserved, "Why are you so excited? No one wants me like this!"

Qin Jingru snorted coldly and took a look at Qin Huairu's figure. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to say that Qin Huairu, who was only thirty years old, was like a ripe tomato, not only juicy but also fragrant.

Also, looking forward to people picking it.

Otherwise, if it hangs on the branches, exposed to the wind and rain, it will just rot and fall into the soil.

So, she didn't believe this nonsense!

"Sister, it doesn't matter if no one wants it, the important thing is to seize the opportunity!"

Qin Jingru's eyes turned, and she had an idea in her heart.

And this idea came from Sha Zhu.

"What do you mean?"

Qin Huairu narrowed her eyes, feeling that her cousin said a little too much today.

"Hey, sister, do you know how to lose to the surname Shen?"

Qin Huairu's face turned, and she stretched out her hand to twist it, "You are here to make trouble for me, right?"

"Listen to me, my cousin!"

Qin Jingru hurriedly said, "That's because you still have shame!"

"Think about how that woman seduced Sha Zhu!"

"If you climb into Yang Xiaotao's bed, even if nothing happened, you can't wash it off even if you jump into the Yellow River. Are you still worried about not having a good life?"

Qin Jingru hurriedly said what was in her heart.

After hearing this, Qin Huairu paused for a second, and then tried hard again.

At the same time, she complained in her heart.

Do you think I haven't thought about it?

Do you think I didn't throw myself into your arms?

Do you think Yang Xiaotao would be obsessed with Shazhu's lust?

You don't know, I have tried everything you are thinking about now!

But Yang Xiaotao didn't buy it at all!

Qin Jingru kept begging for mercy, and finally picked up the steamed bread and ran out.
