Scholars in the courtyard

"Hey, who is this? He's so angry that he doesn't even call him brother-in-law?"

Ran Xinrui didn't raise her head since she entered the house, like a child who had done something wrong.

In fact, isn't she just a child?

Yang Xiaotao put Ran Hongbing down and walked to Ran Xinrui.

"Brother-in-law."

Ran Xinrui shouted softly.

"Oh, the voice is so soft, I can't even hear what you're saying."

"Brother-in-law!"

The voice got louder, and Yang Xiaotao squatted down with a smile.

"Yes, Not Bad."

"Xiao Rui, I heard that you want to make money? It's amazing, my brother-in-law is as old as you and he only knows how to spend money."

Ran Xinrui looked up at Yang Xiaotao, "I, I can sell flowers and make money."

"Really? Xiaorui is awesome! Then where did your flowers come from?"

"Well, there are flowers in the front yard. I can just pick them."

"That's not okay. It belongs to the public. If you pick it, you will be fined."

"I-I can grow my own flowers!"

"Yeah, that's fine. How about this, you grow flowers and sell them to your brother-in-law. This way you can grow flowers while going to school and don't have to worry about not being able to sell them. How about that?"

Ran Qiuye listened at the side, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he turned back to look at his mother with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, I can also plant flowers."

Ran Hongbing rushed over, and Ran Xinrui nodded.

"Okay, then you can plant them and I will buy them all."

As Yang Xiaotao finalized this "agreement", both children had a short-term goal, which was to earn money from their brother-in-law.

After eating a large bowl of egg noodles, Yang Xiaotao left Ran's house and walked back.

Of course, the kiss Ran Qiuye offered before leaving still made Yang Xiaotao reminisce about the journey.

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao did not stop studying because he was promoted to grade eight.

Right now, the system is being upgraded, and we don’t know what will happen in the future.

It is necessary to prepare more credits.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao got up and brought Wangcai to Ran's house.

Ran Qiuye was going to the countryside to attend classes. Although Yang Shitou was there to pick him up and drop him off, Yang Xiaotao still felt uneasy. Perhaps this was because caring led to chaos.

Therefore, Wangcai was arranged by Yang Xiaotao to be Ran Qiuye's bodyguard.

The current prosperity is no worse than that of a calf, and dangers on the road can be solved.

Ran Qiuye couldn't refuse this, and was moved in her heart.

As for who would take care of the family after Wangcai left, Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to ask Aunt Chen to help.

I believe that the beasts in the courtyard would not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and commit crimes against the wind.

As for the white-eyed wolf from the Jia family, Yang Xiaotao was trying to find a legitimate reason to teach him an unforgettable lesson.

In the next two days, Yang Xiaotao began to prepare to implement the preliminary plan.

On Thursday afternoon, Yang Xiaotao took half a day off.

This made Wang Guodong, who had been staring closely at the workshop, a little angry.

The news of the assessment has spread. If you don't train and improve in the workshop, what does it mean to take leave all day long?

But facing Yang Xiaotao, he couldn't get angry.

I asked Wang Fa privately about Yang Xiaotao's level. The guy patted his chest and assured that the worst was level six, possibly level seven.

There are not many level seven fitters in the entire steel rolling mill. What's more important is that this guy is young.

Not to mention level 7, there are no level 6 fitters of his age.

When he thought that he had the youngest level six fitter under his command, the seed with the most potential, Wang Guodong signed his name happily.

Yang Xiaotao didn't expect that the director would have so many inner activities, so he thanked the director and specially invited him to the wedding, making Wang Guodong laugh.

This is also the junior of their third workshop.

As an elder, he has to take care of things.

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao led a group of cars to the courtyard.

"Master is here. He's in the middle courtyard inside."

Yang Xiaotao pointed to the door. The driver quickly stopped the car, reached for the towel on his shoulder and wiped the sweat with a silly smile on his face.

"okay!"

The one dollar I can earn from this trip is equivalent to a week's income.

As for helping move in, that doesn't matter, he just does manual labor.

On the car, long wooden boards were lined up neatly.

Each wooden board is two meters long, one foot wide, four inches thick and two inches thin, so it is not light.

The two stopped at the gate and then moved into the middle courtyard.

In the front yard, Yan Fugui stood at the door and watched the excitement. He had some thoughts in his mind. With so much wood, he was going to make furniture.

Several people from the workshops in the central courtyard saw him and stepped forward to help him, not to mention placing the planks in Uncle Chen's yard.

Yang Xiaotao took out the Victory brand cigarettes and distributed them in a circle as a thank you.

The count is then completed.

Yan Fugui, who walked in from outside, immediately came over.

"Xiao Tao, you are going to make furniture."

"Tsk, tsk, these woods are not cheap. How much is it?"

Yan Fugui asked, but Yang Xiaotao didn't answer and said something vague.

He bought these lumber from the lumber factory. The materials he selected were all good, so he spent a lot of money.

But still within the tolerance range.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao had no intention of paying attention to him, Yan Fugui quickly came over and expressed his thoughts.

"Xiao Tao, you want to build furniture. Have you found a carpenter?"

"I have a relative here who is famous for his craftsmanship. You are right to find him. I will introduce him to you tomorrow."

"Also, this carpentry work requires help from a small worker. My Jie Cheng is idle, so I asked him to come over and help. It's not expensive, so you can give me some money."

"In this way, the two of us will work together tonight..."

Yan Fugui's eyes were shining, and he was calculating one by one.

As long as Yang Xiaotao agrees, this guy will keep looking at Shu and continue to argue with you.

This is not a bad thing, it is a disease in Yan Laosan's bones.

Yang Xiaotao knew who Yan Fugui was, and he had no intention of looking for anyone. He was just ordering furniture. He really thought that his second-level carpentry was a vegetarian.

Besides, if he can’t reach level two, he won’t be able to upgrade?

Isn’t it just reading two books?

"No need, I can handle this myself."

Yang Xiaotao refused, making Yan Fugui's full calculations come to nothing.

Yan Fugui lowered his head and sighed and returned home. The third aunt came up to ask, and Yan Jiecheng also came over.

"This kid won't take soft or hard advice."

Since the last exchange of coarse grains, the relationship between the two families has returned to its original state. Of course, it is still better than other families in the courtyard.

At least they can still talk.

"Old man, Yang Xiaotao said he would do it himself?"

"Well, I think this guy is thinking too well, thinking that just anyone can do it. Really, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."

Yan Fugui sighed with emotion. He had taken great pains to educate Yang Xiaotao about carpentry. He relied on craftsmanship to make a living, just like a cook.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaotao didn't listen at all.

"We'll find out when he wastes lumber and hits the wall."

Yan Jiecheng said happily.

Yan Fugui nodded, and then felt a little distressed, "It's just a pity about the wood."

In the courtyard, it soon became known that Yang Xiaotao was going to build furniture.

People in the middle courtyard even saw a pile of wood, and they knew it was not cheap.

In the Jia family, Mrs. Jia and Zhang were scolding as usual, jealousy making her jump up and down, not wanting to see Yang Xiaotao's kindness.

Qin Huairu, who was mending Banggan's clothes, lowered his head and looked at his chest silently.

Facing Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye that day, the only sense of superiority she could retain was the pair of lanterns.

However, Yang Xiaotao didn't even look at it, which made her very sad.

"What? He wants to do it himself? Hahaha."

"It's so easy for this little beast to be a carpenter, hahaha"

Next to him, Jia Dongxu came back with the latest news, and Jia Zhang became happy when he heard it.

After Qin Huairu heard this, she raised her head and curled her mouth.

"Just wait and see the good show."

In the middle courtyard, many people are waiting for the development of the matter. There are many people like the Jia family who are waiting to watch the excitement.

Yang Xiaotao bought the wood and the first thing he made was a bed.

Yang Xiaotao has a bed in his home, which is in the second bedroom.

It was also the house he lived in before.

Later, he was the only one left in the house, so he moved to the master bedroom.

To be honest, the bed in the master bedroom is not small, but it was built by Lao Yang when he was young, and Yang Xiaotao wanted to get a new one.

When the time comes, I will put the new one in the master bedroom and this bed in the second bedroom.

This bed is not small, but it is still too cramped to sleep two people. Yang Xiaotao plans to widen it and replace the old wood on the original basis.

After the bed is ready, Yang Xiaotao also wants to get a dressing kitchen, which is prepared for Ran Qiuye.

Girls, who doesn’t love beauty?

I believe Ran Qiuye will be more proactive if he knows about it.

hey-hey

The next day, Yang Xiaotao got up early, moved the things out of the second bedroom, and then took out the rewarded carpentry toolbox and started measuring and drawing.

When Uncle Chen saw Yang Xiaotao's professional skills, he also realized that this boy was really good at carpentry, so he stopped talking and helped from the side.

Gradually, people in the courtyard who got up early also discovered the situation. Many people were watching at the door, and the more they looked, the more they knew.

Every step Yang Xiaotao makes seems to have been calculated, and the pencil, ruler, and axe, chisel, saw, and hammer are all smooth at first glance.

When Yan Fugui got the news, he looked at the expanded wooden frame with a big mouth.

Now he believed that Yang Xiaotao knew carpentry.

This craftsmanship is not inferior to that of the carpenter he knows.

Even better.

Yan Fugui went home dejectedly and prepared to go to school. Now he could see that Yang Xiaotao's ability was beyond his control.

As for the Jia family, standing far away behind old Nie's molded wooden bed, they seemed to be out of breath, and the whole family was silent when they ate.

Except Bangge is clamoring for wood to play with.

Silly Zhu and Xu Damao who were passing by looked at it and spit on the ground in unison.

He felt very angry towards Yang Xiaotao in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Yang Xiaotao messed up the wooden bed, then packed it up and went to work in the factory.

After get off work, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative again to buy some walnut oil to oil the bed.

But when I inquired about it, I found that there was no wood wax oil, let alone walnut oil.

As for paint, environmental awareness is not strong these days. Who knows if there is formaldehyde in it? Yang Xiaotao did not dare to joke with his life and gave up decisively.

Finally, on the advice of the salesperson, I bought some tung oil.

This thing is passed down from our ancestors, so you can use it with confidence.

So, Yang Xiaotao returned home carrying a bucket of tung oil.

In the evening there was another sound of saws grinding, and it wasn't until midnight that the double bed was put together.
