Scholars in the courtyard

Saying goodbye to Chen Gong, Yang Xiaotao walked out quickly, fearing that someone else would come out and stop him from seeing off his apprentice.

But he still underestimated his status in the machinery factory. As soon as the news of this apprentice spread, no matter where he went, people came up to ask about the situation.

Even people who don't usually talk much would say hello and say a few words. Although they didn't say it clearly, that was the purpose.

When people come over with a smile, Yang Xiaotao can't put on a bad face.

So, I could only explain it over and over again. In the end, I didn’t want to say more about the reason. I just said that I was an engineer and that accepting apprentices had nothing to do with me.

I finally left the machine factory and returned to the courtyard to prepare for cooking. However, the news was brought back by the workers of the machine factory, which immediately caused a sensation in the courtyard.

Not to mention those working in the machinery factory, even other people in the alley were also moved.

If you consider Yang Xiaotao as your master, the benefits will be visible to the naked eye.

If there is no job, he will be immediately arranged to work in a machinery factory.

No backer? With Yang Xiaotao as a master, what kind of support do you need?

That's the hero's apprentice!

As for life at home, if there is a master to help, it will not change!

Even if there is no suitable candidate in the family, who doesn't have relatives around them? As long as the children of relatives' families get benefits, how can they be spared?

When they think of the life the Yang family is living now, everyone's hearts are filled with excitement.

Even Wang Dashan came to the door with two pig ears and asked for news. His little tiger didn't even have a serious job.

When other people saw Wang Dashan entering Yang's house, they immediately lost their composure and came to Yang's house one after another to inquire about the news.

As a result, Wang Dashan walked out with a smile on his face, and Yang Xiaotao walked out the door with a smile on his face.

The appearance of the two people immediately made everyone feel as if someone had robbed their treasure.

So as soon as Wang Dashan left, the neighbor next door, Aunt Zhang, immediately came to the door calling Ran Qiuye's name.

Ran Qiuye could only entertain him warmly.

Then Aunt Zhang left with a smile, and then...

Until it got dark, people were still coming in and out of Yang's house.

There were more people standing at the door of their homes, waiting for those inside to come out before going in.

However, the people who came out all had smiles on their faces, but when asked if they were successful, they all shook their heads and said that Yang Xiaotao had no intention of accepting a disciple.

It didn’t work out, why are you so happy!

It's fake, there must be something they don't know.

Perhaps it was Yang Xiaotao who set out the conditions for accepting apprentices. Just like in the past, when a master selected an apprentice, he had to set up assessment items. Only the apprentice who passed the exam could become a master.

The more people thought about it, the more they thought about it. Some people even asked those who entered what the assessment items were. It turned out that these people were really revolutionary, and no one could tell them.

This further proves that there is something fishy inside!

This makes people who haven’t entered it feel itchy, and they want to go in and talk even more.

forecourt.

Yan Fugui came back with a smile. As soon as he entered the door, he was pulled aside by the third aunt. Next to him, Yan Jiekuang's eyes widened with longing.

He will be in the second grade of junior high school after the Chinese New Year. If he were someone else's child, he would have started working by now.

But if it were easy to find a job in this city, his eldest brother wouldn't stay at home all day and end up running away with a woman.

The third aunt pulled Yan Fugui forward and asked nervously, "What, what, is Yang Xiaotao going to accept a disciple?"

"What did he say? What does he want? If the third child in our family can't do it, my mother's family still has several nephews..."

"What nonsense!"

Yan Fugui slapped the table and scolded, "Yang Xiaotao has no such thing as accepting disciples!"

The third aunt opened her mouth wide, and Yan Jiekuang's eyes were dim.

This is an opportunity to reach the sky in one step and change your destiny.

Now it's better, has it become a fake?

"But, isn't that what everyone in the courtyard says?"

Yan Fugui sat on a stool nearby, "That's because they didn't understand!"

"What Yang Xiaotao said is that the eighth-level master will accept apprentices! Is that right?"

The third aunt nodded.

Then Yan Fugui took a deep breath, "It's true that Yang Xiaotao is an eighth-level master, but he's also an engineer!"

"This has nothing to do with him!"

The third aunt looked frustrated when she heard this, "How can this be possible? He can't accept an apprentice?"

"For such a great ability, just give it to Duanwu!"

"What if..."

"Shut up!"

Before the third aunt could finish speaking, Yan Fugui scolded her loudly.

The third aunt hurriedly shut her mouth, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, and then she looked out the window and felt relieved that there was nothing sexy about her.

"Don't say such nonsense, or else!"

"Our family's good days are coming to an end! Do you understand?"

Yan Fugui said harshly, and the third aunt hurriedly turned around and agreed.

Seeing this, Yan Fugui also put down his expression, and then said, "Even if you accept a disciple, you also accept an engineer's apprentice!"

"With this condition, let alone the people in our courtyard, the surrounding alleys, and even the machinery factory, it is difficult to find someone who can be Yang Xiaotao's apprentice!"

After Yan Fugui finished speaking angrily, he sighed again, "This Yang Xiaotao's branch is too high. It's too difficult to climb up!"

The third aunt nodded silently after hearing this. Today is different from the past.

The room suddenly became quiet.

After a long time, Yan Fugui pushed up his glasses and said with a smile, "Otherwise everyone will laugh out loud. This is not afraid that you won't take a fancy to it, but that you will be afraid that others will take a fancy to it!"

"Everyone is the same anyway, there's nothing to say."

"Eat quickly, I have to go to the countryside early tomorrow morning."

Having said this, the smile on Yan Fugui's face became even brighter, "By the way, this time the school is giving out welfare during the New Year. I heard Cuiping in the backyard say that this time the machinery factory will donate a batch of materials. By then, all of us will Have one."

The silent look on the third aunt's face suddenly changed, and a smile appeared on her face, "Machinery factory? That's amazing. Just one hair from this thigh can be enough for our family to have a good year!"

"That's right, so it's right for us to take Teacher Ran's route!"

The third aunt straightened her neck after hearing this, "And you said, if it weren't for me, you would have been able to do such a good thing!" Yan Fugui chuckled, "We are all members of our own family, we are all one family!"

The third aunt looked proud, and then she thought of something, "By the way, this morning, the first aunt came to see me."

"Why is she looking for you?"

"What else can we do? Yi Zhonghai is back. It's cold at home and Lao Han's legs hurt!"

"It's getting cold this year. They don't have much coal at home. They want us to help. Can we give them some coal?"

Yan Fugui frowned immediately after hearing this.

Evener?

It must be done by all selected people, so that everyone can show their love together.

Anyway, they don’t have much coal, so they can’t even it out!

Besides, this kind of thing has long been out of favor!

In normal years, some families in the hospital are poor. When the weather is cold, the whole hospital organizes a coal purchase, and those wealthy families will help them get through the cold winter.

But those poor people only have a few households here and there, but they don’t have their own home!

You must know that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Yi Zhonghai used to earn ninety-nine yuan a month. Although he had a few bleedings in the past few years, he definitely had a pension!

What's more, there are only two people in the family, and Qin Huairu is helping out.

Others don't know. He has been in the country for so many days and he still doesn't know about the Qin family.

What Qin Huairu did, not to mention it was big fish and meat, at least it could feed the whole family.

Now let’s cry about poverty and show it to whom!

"Let's take care of this!"

Yan Fugui chirped twice, "This is a family helping a family, it's not like we all share the money equally."

"Is it possible to get everyone to donate?"

"No, no, our family is not rich either!"

Soon Yan Fugui figured out why the aunt came to him and asked him to organize a charity show in the courtyard.

But can he do this?

Of course not, otherwise their family's fate would be similar to that of Yi Zhonghai's family and Jia's family.

The third aunt understood and said hurriedly, then sneered, "Now that I think of my neighbors helping me, they still have the nerve to say what they did before!"

"I used to show my love, but it chilled the hearts of the people in the courtyard. Who cares about it now?"

"Okay, don't worry about this. They can do whatever they want. If it doesn't work, just go to the countryside to collect firewood. I think the countryside is all about burning wood, so it's not bad."

After Yan Fugui finished speaking, the third aunt walked aside to put away the food and prepare to eat.

Middle Court.

Yi Zhonghai covered his legs with a quilt and looked out the window, with a look of reminiscence and annoyance on his face.

I think back then, when he was still a grown man and an eighth-level fitter in a machinery factory.

There are also Jia family members in this courtyard.

At that time, he also said that he would accept a disciple. The scene at that time was similar to what it is now.

What a pity.

Taking on a disciple is risky.

He is a negative example.

Taking in Jia Dongxu, a loser, not only failed to help him, but also brought him to where he is now.

How great it would have been if he had accepted Yang Xiaotao back then!

Now, he is still living like this. He has long been sitting in Yang's house, warming the stove and drinking tea, waiting for his disciples and grandsons to be filial.

"One wrong move and you lose everything!"

Yi Zhonghai looked back and murmured to himself.

More in the eyes is still very spicy.

I hope Yang Xiaotao will also accept trash, preferably like Jia Dongxu.

He said to himself, then felt the pain in his legs and groaned again.

Moving his body to the stove, Yi Zhonghai picked up the fire hook and poked the stove, and saw that there was only a little red light, which could not dispel the cold ice in the room!

well!

Now my legs hurt so much when I get cold.

If I had known this would be the case, I wouldn't have broken my leg on purpose!

I regret it!

A aunt walked in from outside, followed by Qin Huairu.

Seeing the two of them, his eyes wandered around the latter.

Suddenly, he felt that Jia Dongxu was not useless, at least it was good to keep this widow.

It’s just that this widow from the countryside is not simple!

If it were before, I could still handle it myself.

But now, after so many things, my wings have hardened and I have begun to disobey!

Now that he has a way out, he can earn his own food. For him, it is even more beyond his control.

In addition, there is no obedient fool in this courtyard, and the only one the couple can count on is her!

This changes the control relationship between the two parties.

His eyes stayed on Qin Huairu for a moment, and Yi Zhonghai suppressed his thoughts.

If you want this woman to be obedient, you must have money!

But now, with him like this, where does the money come from?

Suddenly, Yi Zhonghai remembered the deaf old lady. When the old lady asked him to remember a few names, he always remembered them.

Previously, I had not dared to look for him because I was afraid of being implicated.

But now, he felt that he had to take the initiative.

"Lao Yi, don't come down like this."

When Auntie saw Yi Zhonghai holding a fire hook, she hurriedly said, and helped him up and sat him back on the bed.

"It's cold in the room, I'll come down to tidy up."

As Yi Zhonghai said this, Auntie lowered her head and sighed. Qin Huairu just smiled and didn't care too much.

To Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai was a hypocrite, full of morality but full of evil. She had done many things behind the Jia family's back with him...

When such an old man is useless, he should just wait to die. Why did he come back?
