Scholars in the courtyard

After staying in a workshop for a while, Yang Xiaotao explained the details of the drawings to everyone, and after emphasizing some important points, he was ready to go back to the office.

Just when he was about to leave, Chen Chonghan suddenly ran over to stop him, "Boss Yang, are you free tonight?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at him, remembered something and asked, "You won't treat us to dinner tonight!"

Chen Chonghan smiled and nodded, "This family is here, it's like moving to a new home, invite everyone to come and have fun."

"Besides, I have learned how to make braised pork!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled, thinking back to when they were in the northwest, Chen Chonghan was impressed by Yang Xiaotao's braised pork, and even pestered Yang Xiaotao to teach him how to make it.

The last time he went back to Jinling, Chen Chonghan invited him to his home, and he also said that he would make braised pork for him.

But he didn't expect to run into the Aviation College and the Military College, so he didn't go, and didn't have dinner.

This should be the third time.

Yang Xiaotao looked at Chen Chonghan's serious look and felt a little embarrassed to refuse.

But he really has something to do tonight.

And considering the occasion tonight, he can't leave early!

So...

Yang Xiaotao said apologetically, "Old Chen, I'm so sorry!"

Chen Chonghan was stunned, and Yang Xiaotao quickly explained, "An elder asked me to help cook tonight, and I agreed early..."

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's explanation, Chen Chonghan also slapped his head, "It's my fault, I didn't tell him in advance."

"Then, tomorrow night! It's okay tomorrow night!"

"No, you have planned it, and everyone has said it, it's not good to change the date!"

"Whatever, we can just find a time to eat together!"

Yang Xiaotao quickly spoke up. If people knew that because he missed a meal, he changed the date to accommodate him, it would not be good for the image of both of them.

Chen Chonghan waved his hand indifferently, "It's okay, we are all family."

"Old Liu and the others won't say anything if they know."

Chen Chonghan understood that Liu Daming and the others also wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Yang Xiaotao.

Especially yesterday, they heard that Yang Xiaotao was sitting between Mr. Chen and Mr. Huang.

Even Secretary Liu said after drinking that whether the machinery factory can make further progress in the future depends on Yang Xiaotao!

Those who understand will understand this.

After all, everyone wants to rise with the tide.

"That's it, tomorrow night!"

Chen Chonghan was afraid that Yang Xiaotao would have something else to do, so he quickly decided on the matter.

Yang Xiaotao thought that there was nothing to do, so he nodded, "Okay, then tomorrow night."

Seeing Yang Xiaotao agreed, Chen Chonghan immediately walked away and prepared to find someone to change the time.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at it, shook his head helplessly and walked into the office.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Wife, let's go!"

Yang Xiaotao parked his bicycle at the door and shouted inside.

Xiaowei flew out of his pocket and landed on the big locust tree. It was not that Yang Xiaotao asked him to stay, but the little guy didn't want to go.

According to Xiaowei, going there was a bit depressing.

It's better to just stay at home and watch the door.

Yang Xiaotao followed her wishes.

Seeing what Ran Qiuye picked up in the house, Yang Xiaotao wanted to drive, but that place was not accessible to ordinary people.

He, Yang Xiaotao, was just an ordinary person. Driving was too ostentatious and a little inappropriate.

He might as well ride a bicycle and take his wife for a ride to feel the softness from the back!

Besides, people who ride bicycles on the street these days are also envied.

Ran Qiuye heard the noise and immediately came out of the house with two bags. They looked heavy, but they didn't look like she was struggling.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes!"

"Did you take the camera?"

"I took it!"

Ran Qiuye straightened his chest. In comparison, the camera and the case were a little small and not very conspicuous.

"Where's the food?"

Ran Qiuye lifted the bag into the air, "Potatoes, cabbage, leeks, peanuts, a piece of pork, boiled salted duck eggs..."

Ran Qiuye was talking there. This was what she had thought of all morning today.

Yang Xiaotao said to bring something, so she thought of some food and daily necessities.

They are all local specialties from home. The only expensive one is a piece of pork, but it is only about three pounds, so it should be nothing.

"By the way, there are still fish to be taken!"

After saying that, he was about to carry the bag back to the house, but Yang Xiaotao said faster, "I'll go get it!"

Soon he came to the house and opened the water tank. There were three one-foot-long carps in it. These were all the goods Yang Xiaotao usually bought from the West Sea.

He picked a bigger one and fished it out with a net bag. No matter how it jumped, he could only accept it.

"Fish! This time it's your luck!"

"I'll take you to see the world, otherwise what's the difference between you and salted fish?"

Yang Xiaotao said to the fish, then ran out with it!

When he came to the front of the car, he hung the net bag on the handlebars, took the two bags, and then hung them on the bicycle. After making sure that nothing was left behind, he said, "Let's go!"

The two of them walked out of the courtyard gate, Ran Qiuye sat on the back seat with a smile, and Yang Xiaotao pedaled hard and quickly disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

In the yard, the three aunts and a group of women looked at this scene with envy.

"Oh, how many things are you bringing from your mother's house this time!"

Aunt Li in the front yard said, her eyes full of envy.

Her family has two married daughters, but they can count on one hand the number of times they come back throughout the year. Not to mention, they only bring some potatoes and sweet potatoes with them at most. There is no one like the Yang family who brings everything in a hurry. I've been with him for a month.

The third aunt nodded after hearing this, "So, when you are looking for a man, you have to keep your eyes peeled. Don't just look at the present, but also look at his character and ability!"

"That's right. Ten years ago, who would have known that Yang Xiaotao was a dragon!"

"If I had known earlier, my eldest girl would have had to say whatever she said..."

"Haha, you regret it now!"

"Don't you regret it? Oh, by the way, you don't have a daughter at home!"

"Bah, I regret it even more. My niece almost ended up in this hospital. It's all because of those bastards from the Jia family who spread evil rumors to ruin her reputation."

"If I hadn't misheard what they said, would the golden turtle husband I'm looking at now be gone?"

"Yes, it's the same in my family. That third aunt is running around. Now think about it, what a great opportunity! Just because of the Jia family's bad words!"

"They deserve their retribution!"

"Yes, you deserve retribution!"

After several people finished speaking, their faces were still angry.

The people around him had the same look after hearing this, and they all blamed the Jia family for not being able to get married to Yang Xiaotao.

At this moment, Qin Huairu walked in from the gate, followed by Auntie.

You can tell by looking at her face that she must have heard what the few people said just now.

However, everyone just glanced at him and continued talking, even rolling their eyes and talking without any concealment.

Qin Huairu felt aggrieved and uncomfortable after hearing this.

In those years, who could know what would happen in the future?

When it comes to regrets, who has more regrets than she does?

After looking at a few people to block out those unpleasant words, Qin Huairu walked home with her aunt.

This time, after finally convincing Yi Zhonghai and expressing his attitude, he invited Auntie back.

As for Silly Pillar, she couldn't count on him at all.

…

"Sister Zhang, please help me look after the child!"

In the garden, Tang Mingyue said to Tong Xiaolong's wife.

"Hey, what am I talking about? The baby is about to come out, so it's time for them to talk to each other first!"

Tang Mingyue pursed her lips and smiled after hearing this.

It’s only been a few months, so it’s still too early to communicate!

However, although Tong Xiaolong's wife is not highly educated, she is a sweetheart.

He can talk about anything. He feels very similar to Cuiping, but he doesn't have the fierceness of Cuiping.

All in all, if he is worthy of Tong Xiaolong, he will be a good wife!

Mrs. Tong pushed the cart and looked at the child playing with her fingers inside, with motherly love on her face.

As he spoke, he touched his belly, thinking to himself, he must be a leader!

"Sister Zhang, if anything happens, I'll be right next door. Just call me then."

"This is milk powder and calming. Just add three spoons and add water to the mark. Test the water temperature to make sure it's not too hot..."

Tang Mingyue explained the matter, and Tong smiled and nodded.

These are all things she will have to do in the future. Studying and preparing now will save her from being in a hurry in the future.

After giving instructions, Mrs. Tong smiled and said, "Mingyue, you are so careful. If you give birth to a child by yourself, you will definitely be the best mother!"

Tang Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Now, I also want to be the best mother."

Mrs. Tong smiled, "Go and do your work, I'll watch it for you."

"When the time comes, I'll see you if anything happens."

"By the way, look at that hole for me. This guy didn't say anything when he was working, but his own affairs are a mess..."

Tang Mingyue smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, it's just a normal meal."

"I know, I understand!"

Mrs. Tong acted like she knew everything and wouldn't tell anyone, which made Tang Mingyue like her even more.

"You two are still talking!"

Tong Xiaolong's roaring voice came, and then he came to the car, then looked at the little guy inside, stretched out his thick finger and put it in front of his little hand, and the little guy grabbed it hard.

"Hey, you're so energetic, I'm sure I'll eat less!"

"Go, go, are you dirty? Don't touch the child!"

Mrs. Tong quickly pushed Tong Xiaolong aside like an old hen protecting her calf.

Tong Xiaolong quickly got out of the way, fearing that his wife would bump into him.

"Mingyue, Xiaotao and the others are here and are preparing things."

Hearing Tong Xiaolong's words, Tang Mingyue nodded, and then glanced at the child in the car.

Originally, the eldest sister wanted the child to see her. Even if she was adopted, she still had to see someone.

But Tang Mingyue shook her head and refused, at least not now.

She had seen photos of Duan Wu when he was a child. The two brothers looked exactly the same, but their heads and heads were very similar.

In other words, her eyebrows, corners and eyes are all the same as her mother's, but the problem is that she and Ran Qiuye both have double eyelids and big eyes, and they look a bit alike at first glance.

With Yang Xiaotao's ability to observe words and emotions, he can even distinguish steel materials. If he saw this, he would definitely guess something based on his intelligence.

You don't even have to guess what's going on.

At this time, she didn't want to cause trouble for him.

The eldest sister did not insist after hearing this, as long as Tang Mingyue knew what was going on.

"Sister Zhang, I'm sorry to trouble you!"

"Go, go, just be busy!"

After saying that, Tang Mingyue and Tong Xiaolong went out and came to the yard next door.

Yang Xiaotao was carrying things into the house. The eldest sister, wearing an apron, looked at the dishes and directed them where to put them. Ran Qiuye also helped arrange them.

"Sister Tang!"

Seeing Tang Mingyue and the others coming over, Ran Qiuye said hello and looked into the side room.

Tang Mingyue shook her head, making Ran Qiuye a little confused.

"Secretary Tang, where do you put this thing?"

While talking, Yang Xiaotao asked while holding the still jumping carp.

Tang Mingyue looked at the fish and couldn't remember where to put it.

"You brought so much stuff, you can't even eat it!"

The eldest sister looked on with a smile like that of a housewife.

Soon the things were put away, and Yang Xiaotao was ready to roll up his sleeves and cook.

"Sister, who is coming today!"

Yang Xiaotao looked at them and saw that they were the only ones in the room. The old man hadn't come back yet, and no one else was seen.

The eldest sister was kneading the dough, and Ran Qiuye and Tang Mingyue were helping her. It looked like they were making dumplings.

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's question, the eldest sister smiled and said, "You guys came early, why don't they come back at six o'clock?"

"As for who they are, you will know when they come."

Well, Yang Xiaotao turned around and walked into the kitchen without asking any more questions.

"Brother Xiaolong, can you kill fish?"

Tong Xiaolong nodded immediately after hearing this, "Let it go, I'll do it!"
