Scholars in the courtyard

"Mingyue, this child is so cute."

Tong Xiaolong came to Tang Mingyue and whispered while preparing the dishes.

His eyes stayed on Tang Mingyue's face for a moment, and then moved away immediately.

"Brother Xiaolong, I heard you got married."

Tang Mingyue looked at the strong man beside him, knowing that some things could not be hidden from him, but he did not want to explain anything.

Some things do not need to be said, just treat it as a tacit understanding.

"I haven't congratulated you on your wedding yet."

Tang Mingyue gathered her hair and smiled, and Tong Xiaolong immediately laughed when he heard it, "It's nothing, wait until tomorrow to let your sister-in-law come to recognize her. By the way, after the New Year, Xiao Zhang will have a playmate."

"Really? How many months is your sister-in-law born?"

"It should be in March next year."

Speaking of his own wife, Tong Xiaolong's face was full of tenderness, and he did not forget to scratch his head.

Seeing this, Tang Mingyue laughed, "You don't even know when your child will be born, how can you be a father."

Tong Xiaolong laughed awkwardly again, and then thought of something, "Mingyue, if my family gives birth to a girl, how about having a baby marriage with Xiaozhang?"

"If it's a boy, let them be brothers."

Tang Mingyue was stunned, but quickly reacted, "Okay, then my Xiaozhang won't have to worry about not having a wife."

Tong Xiaolong laughed immediately, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can bully him."

As he said this, he raised his thick arms and waved them in the air twice.

As if to give people a sense of security.

"What are you two talking about?"

The two turned around and saw the uncle approaching.

Tong Xiaolong straightened up immediately, "Commander."

The uncle walked up to him with a cigarette in his hand and looked him up and down, "Xiaolong, you've gained weight again."

Tong Xiaolong smiled embarrassedly, "I've gained some weight recently, but I'm exercising."

The uncle shook his head, "Men, married men are like this, but pay attention to control."

"Yes, Commander, I promise to control it."

The uncle smiled.

Then he glanced at Tang Mingyue, "Mingyue, I have something to go."

"Commander, don't you want to eat?"

"No, I still have to go home and lie down. I've been out for so long, it's time to go back and see my family."

The uncle said casually, and Tang Mingyue nodded.

"Commander, don't worry, I'm fine."

The uncle was relieved to see this, and then turned to look at the male host who came over.

"During this period, Secretary Tang has helped me a lot."

"Especially the matter of medicinal wine, which is thanks to her."

Tang Mingyue shook her head hurriedly, "Chief, this is all due to your planning, I just run errands."

"Hey, if running errands like you can solve the problem, I don't have to do so many things around me."

The uncle laughed and joked, and then said to the male host, "If I didn't know you were reluctant, I really wanted to help you."

The male host immediately shook his head, "Of course I can't give it to you."

"You don't know, I have a lot of things waiting for me."

"I know you are reluctant."

The two joked, and Tong Xiaolong on the side also smiled foolishly.

When they were together before, Tang Mingyue was the one who gave advice, and he was only responsible for doing the work.

After Tang Mingyue left, he felt that it was very difficult to do things, for fear that he would misunderstand the chief's intentions and do the wrong things.

Now it's good, the person is back, and the two of them are partners together, and he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The uncle and his wife walked out while talking, and hearty laughter could be heard from time to time.

Tang Mingyue and his wife followed behind them until they walked to the door and watched the car leave, then turned around and walked back.

"Mingyue, go and rest first."

"Xiaolong, you come, there is something."

The male host instructed Tang Mingyue, and then led Tong Xiaolong into the study.

Not long after the uncle left, only the eldest sister and Tang Mingyue were left at home, and of course there was one who was staring at the ringing bell on the bed.

The eldest sister was teasing the child, and Tang Mingyue was packing clothes on the side.

"Eldest sister, I came back this time, I don't know if it's been a long time since I last saw you, or what, I always feel that the leader's body seems to have changed."

"Did you eat anything?"

After Tang Mingyue finished speaking, the eldest sister nodded immediately.

"I would have said it even if you didn't mention it."

"Last time, he went to Yangjiazhuang, where he was busy for most of the day. After he came back, he ate and slept. He slept soundly."

"At first we thought it was just exercise, so we didn't take it seriously."

"But since then, he has eaten more every meal than before, and he has eaten meat and oil, and he sleeps more soundly."

"Also, didn't you notice that he has fewer wrinkles on both sides of his face?"

Speaking of this, the eldest sister had a lot to say.

She hadn't told anyone else about this, and only mentioned it to Tang Mingyue.

"Yes, yes, he often dreams."

"Dreams?"

"Yes, he said he dreamed of being with Yang Xiaotao several times, either watching him plant corn, or watching him catch a lot of fish, and sometimes dreaming of Yang Xiaotao cooking for him."

Tang Mingyue frowned, "What's going on with this?"

The eldest sister shook her head, "Who can tell for sure about such things."

"It is said that you dream about what you think about during the day, but you know what he thinks about all day long, why does he think about Yang Xiaotao all day long?"

At this point, the eldest sister looked at Tang Mingyue.

If there is any connection, it is Yang Xiaotao and Tang Mingyue's affairs that worry him.

Could it be that he is still upset about this matter?

After all, he was the one who made the final decision on the matter.

In addition, Tang Mingyue's status in their hearts makes sense.

Tang Mingyue reacted and then changed the subject and said, "Have you asked the doctor to check?"

"I checked it. He came the first time and said that he was exercising, so he slept well."

"After that, he came to check once a week. Every time he said that his pulse was stronger and his body was better than before."

"Otherwise, he would be able to hold on to this whole day's work."

The eldest sister said, with some worry on her face.

What she feared most was the kind of thing like "last breath" that the doctor said, because once an accident happened, it would be difficult to recover.

Tang Mingyue stepped forward, held the elder sister's hand and comforted her, "It's okay, the chief is blessed by heaven, and the people are hoping that he will live a hundred years."

"What do you mean by a hundred years? As long as he is healthy and free from disasters, that's enough."

The elder sister also figured it out. In short, it's all about moving in a good direction.

As for the rest, just treat it as a dream.

"From now on, we two mothers will take good care of him."

"You, work hard."

"Leave the child here with me, I'll take care of him for you, don't worry about other work!"

Tang Mingyue nodded, her expression moved, "Big sister, thank you!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! From now on, this is your home!"

"I just felt that my home was too lonely. Now that I have this little thing, the yard will definitely be very lively in the future."

Tang Mingyue smiled, "If he doesn't eat enough, he may cry, and the whole building will have trouble sleeping if the sound is loud."

"It's good to have a loud voice, which means he is full of energy."

While talking, the eldest sister thought of something, so she said, "Qiuye will come over in two days, you two can meet him!"

Tang Mingyue was stunned, but finally nodded.

She had been in contact with Ran Qiuye for a long time, and she didn't hide this matter from her.

Besides, she didn't want to be unhappy because of this matter.

That would be bad for both parties and the child.

Seeing that Tang Mingyue did not object, the elder sister asked again, "In a few days, the family will invite some people to visit, and Yang Xiaotao will also come."

"We mean to ask for your opinion on whether to tell him the truth."

"You have to explain this matter to Qiuye clearly!"

Tang Mingyue was silent for a moment and then shook her head.

"It's enough for us to know this matter."

"Have you figured it out?"

Tang Mingyue nodded, "It's not appropriate now!"

"Alas!"

The elder sister sighed and reached out to touch the child's face, "I'm afraid that he will grow up and then I can't hide it!"

Tang Mingyue bit her lip and finally said, "Then let's talk about it when he grows up!"

Early in the morning.

Yang Xiaotao was awakened by Wangcai's cry, opened his eyes, and happened to see Ran Qiuye open his eyes, and then looked down.

Ran Qiuye suddenly realized something and immediately covered his chest, then found that his palms could not cover it at all, and quickly reached out to cover Yang Xiaotao's eyes.

But at this time, it was too late.

A pair of hands hit the target directly like a missile, and then there was an explosion that made Ran Qiuye unable to resist.

In the yard, Wangcai's voice had stopped. Yang Xiaotao hugged Ran Qiuye in his arms. The two did not dare to make too much noise, for fear of attracting the attention of the children in the next room.

Afterwards, Yang Xiaotao enjoyed the morning exercise and listened to Xiaowei's explanation.

When he got up in the morning, Yi Zhonghai was ready to go to the countryside, but he didn't know why he came to the door of the Qin family and said a few words, and Qin Huairu's crying came from the house.

"Master, I only heard that man say that he was going to take his wife to the countryside, and he was going to find someone to take care of this house."

"Take care?"

Yang Xiaotao unconsciously used force, and Ran Qiuye patted Yang Xiaotao's belly with his hand, "Don't move."

"Understand, understand!"

Yang Xiaotao whispered, then frowned.

These days, finding someone to take care of the house is simply to let someone rent a house.

It's just that it's not popular to pay rent, so I asked someone to take care of the house.

Of course, there must be some shady transactions, but it's also a matter of mutual consent.

"What about the woman?"

"The woman said something like she was old and it was inconvenient."

"Then she didn't say anything."

"Why did Wangcai yell?"

"Because the old woman didn't want to go, she quarreled with the man, and the man wanted to hit her, so Wangcai yelled twice."

Yang Xiaotao was speechless. Yi Zhonghai was really going backwards and even hit a woman.

"Tell Wangcai to stop meddling in other people's business!"

"Understood!"

Xiaowei's voice disappeared, Yang Xiaotao reached out and lifted Ran Qiuye's hair, looking at her trying hard, the other party rolled his eyes back at him.

"Bad guy."

When Yang Xiaotao and the others got up, they saw Yi Zhonghai and a woman go out and lock the door.

Then Yi Zhonghai took a woman out.

No one in the courtyard could understand what Yi Zhonghai was doing.

Going to the countryside to suffer alone, and dragging an old lady with you, what is this operation?

Even if you let an old lady serve you, you don’t have to do this.

At most, you can go a few more times every month.

But now, this is to "share the joys and sorrows".

"What does he want to do? Don't want this family anymore?"

Ran Qiuye came to the side with an egg in his hand and asked curiously.

"Who knows!"

Yang Xiaotao turned around and laughed.

Ran Qiuye subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth, and then thought of something, and quickly turned around to cook.

Yang Xiaotao smiled, and then saw Qin Huairu pushing open the door not far away and looking at the locked Yi Zhonghai's house, with a trance.

Perhaps, in this courtyard, only he and Qin Huairu understood why Yi Zhonghai did this.

He would die if he didn't do it.

Yang Xiaotao turned around and went back to the house, and soon Duanwu's ouch came.

Qin Huairu stood at the door and lowered her head.

She understood that her "coveting" for Laodao was discovered by Yi Zhonghai.

She didn't understand where she was exposed.

In short, the coldness in Yi Zhonghai's eyes and his resolute departure were all warning her not to have other thoughts.

But why couldn't she have other thoughts?

Qin Huairu couldn't figure it out.

It's all like this, what else does Yi Zhonghai have to insist on?

I let him try, but in the end, it was still a silver wax head gun, isn't it useless?

Finding a support for yourself, what's the problem with him?

It's just for retirement!

Qin Huairu gritted her teeth, and she was not discouraged by Yi Zhonghai's departure.

On the contrary, at this moment, her mind flashed with what Qin Jingru said.

"I don't believe I can't find a man!"
