Scholars in the courtyard

Early on Saturday morning, Yang Xiaotao began to oil the wooden bed.

First, I found a broken pot, set it up in the yard, poured tung oil into it and heated it to evaporate the water inside.

Then I found a brush and applied a layer of tung oil on it. It was smooth and beautiful. It wasn't finished yet. I brushed it three times before stopping.

The wooden bed headboard, which was originally a little raw, became pleasing to the eye after painting.

Many young people in the courtyard came over and watched from a distance, wanting to learn a few tricks. They were envious of Yang Xiaotao's work.

Some people even plan to ask Yang Xiaotao to help build a similar bed to facilitate the family's children to start a family.

Yang Xiaotao refused directly. He is busy now.

Yang Xiaotao placed the wooden bed in front of the window to allow ventilation and odor.

After stacking the remaining wood, Yang Xiaotao went to Yangjiacun.

Even after Yang Xiaotao left the courtyard, people in the courtyard continued to discuss Yang Xiaotao.

Everyone can see that Yang Xiaotao is very good at making beds. These days, if you have skills, you can make a living.

If Yang Xiaotao takes this path, he can at least support his family.

What's more, he is still a worker in a steel rolling mill.

If I could take on more private work in private, life at home would be much more comfortable.

Even Silly Zhu, doesn’t he live by his private life?

Look how proud Sha Zhu will be now, and how prosperous Yang Xiaotao will be in the future.

Of course, Shazhu dismissed this.

A cook is a cook, and a carpenter is a carpenter. How can a man who chops wood catch up with the cook who cooks?

Is it possible to let him steal wood to eat?

It’s ridiculous to think about it.

In the Jia family, Mrs. Jia and Zhang completely lost their temper.

He sat there feeling sick and didn't bother to look at his grandson.

Qin Huairu didn't have the time to wash clothes in the courtyard. If she went out now, she would definitely hear sarcastic comments about her poor taste.

She originally wanted to see Yang Xiaotao's joke, so she took over and made a big bed directly, and it was very beautiful.

In comparison, the bed at home is just a wooden frame.

Looking at people again, Jia Dongxu was away from home all day long, and came back when he was eating.

There is no need to compare their abilities, as long as they are individuals, they can see the difference.

Really, comparing people to each other is so irritating!

Alas~~~

When Yang Xiaotao returned to Yangjiazhuang, he first came to Shannan to take a look at the experimental field.

After several months of growth, the corn here is growing very fast, and the cobs are sprouting out under sufficient sunlight, and it is not far from maturity.

Mr. Yang runs here every two days, for fear that something will go wrong here.

Now, the whole village's harvest depends on these corns.

Not only that, people in the surrounding villages are also waiting for good news.

Looking forward to growing this magical corn.

Yang Xiaotao stayed in Yangjiazhuang. After dinner in the evening, he and Ran Qiuye walked around the village, enjoying a happy time that belonged to them alone.

Outside the courtyard, Shazhu walked from the alleyway with a splayed figure, carrying two lunch boxes in one hand and a bag of eggs in the other.

He Yuyu came back today. As an elder brother, he had to be well behaved. Otherwise, how would the neighbors look?

No, I went to buy a bag of eggs. I will eat some tonight and cook the rest. Let He Yuyu take him to the school and let the student boy know how he is as an older brother.

Of course, in Silly Zhu's heart, he also wanted to pick up the girl and publicize it in the school to see if there is a suitable female teacher.

Why would you, Yang Xiaotao, be so proud of finding a primary school teacher? If I find a high school teacher, he will definitely be better than you.

Feeling very happy, Shazhu also felt something when he walked.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw two children playing in the yard.

"Great joke, Xiaodang! Why don't you go home for dinner?"

The two children at the door belong to the Jia family. They usually meet in the same courtyard without looking up or down. The two children are also very lovable. In addition, Silly Zhu looks at Qin Huairu and likes them even more. Sometimes he will give them a little love when they meet. food.

"Uncle Silly! What are you getting that's delicious?"

When Banggeng saw it was Silly Zhu, he immediately ran forward and looked at the thing in Silly Zhu's hand, his eyes shining.

The nose has already asked, there is meat in this lunch box.

Silly Zhu felt unhappy when Bangge called him Uncle Silly. It had been many years since an adult called him Uncle Silly, but he felt uncomfortable when a younger person called him that.

Everyone calls him stupid, so how can he find a wife?

Especially now that you have set a goal to find someone knowledgeable, you should pay more attention to your title.

"Banggen, how many times have I told you that when I see you from now on, I'll call you Uncle He!"

Silly Zhu said with a serious face. Banggeng didn't care about it now. When he saw the egg, he immediately stepped forward.

"Uncle Silly, you bought so many eggs, give me two."

"Xiao Dang and I are one each!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his little hand, ready to take the eggs in his pocket.

When Silly Zhu heard this, he called him Uncle Silly. He immediately raised his foot and pushed the stick away, but he didn't dare to use any force.

"Go, go, little bastard."

"I won't give you this. If you want to eat it, tell your mother."

Silly Zhu was angry, glanced at Bangjie and walked towards the house.

When Banggeng saw Silly Zhu not giving him anything, his face immediately became aggrieved, and tears fell down.

"Brother, I want to eat eggs!"

"How about we tell mom and she can ask for eggs."

Xiaodang stood aside and said, Banggeng stopped crying after hearing this and touched his face with a proud look on his face.

"It's okay, don't tell mom, I have a way."

"If you don't give it to me, I'll take it!"

Bangge remembered grandma’s instructions, no one would care about children taking things.

Last time, he went to Yang Xiaotao's house to get corn cobs, and grandma even praised him.

As for Shazhu's house, he had already decided that he would not close the door when sleeping, and he would not take anything for free if he did not take it.

Bang Gang was thinking about when to take action. Silly Zhu returned home and He Yuyu was lighting the fire.

"Brother, I heard that Yang Xiaotao is looking for a wife?"

"Don't mention him. He's an uneducated bastard. He actually found a wife. It makes me angry."

Silly Zhu put down the egg. After hearing this, He Yuyu became even more interested, "I heard that he is a primary school teacher. What does he look like? Isn't Sister Qin pretty?"

Silly Zhu didn't want to speak, but He Yuyu kept asking and had to say it. When he heard the comparison with Qin Huairu, he immediately snorted coldly.

"She looks just like that. She's still expressionless. She's far worse than Sister Qin."

"It's just better than Liu Yulan!"

Silly Zhu did not forget to slander him, and He Yuyu curled his lips after hearing this.

In his brother's eyes, anyone who is not as good as Qin Huairu is better than Liu Yulan.

Therefore, the most important indicator of his brother's request for a wife is Qin Huairu.

"By the way, Yu Yu, are there any young teachers in your school? The kind who are not married!"

Silly Zhu put oil in the pot and started to scramble the eggs.

He Yuyu was a little dumbfounded when he heard it, and then he realized that what this stupid brother said was bad, but he still cared about it in his heart.

It seems that the wife Yang Xiaotao has found should be good, otherwise she will not irritate silly brother.

Wanting to understand the key, He Yuyu lowered his head and rolled his eyes, "There are no young teachers, but there are quite a few young among my classmates."

"Classmate? No, no, no, there's a age difference."

Silly Zhu shook his head, but he was still touched deep in his heart.

No matter how old a man is, he likes young girls.

"What's the point of this? It's not much different in age. Why don't I bring it back to you one day to have a look?"

He Yuyu continued to speak, but Shazhu did not speak.

I was still thinking about whether I would be gossiped about if I found someone too young.

So he continued to stir-fry, "Forget it, your brother still wants to lose face."

He Yuyu curled his lips, are you so embarrassed?

The two brothers and sisters started to eat. Zhongyuan Jia Banggan had no appetite after eating the steamed buns.

Especially when I saw that Silly Zhu had brought back delicious food, I was not in the mood to eat.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was also a little off-putting. She was hit hard by Yang Xiaotao today, and she lost some energy when meeting people.

"The little beast has returned to the countryside again, running back eight hundred times a day."

"The countryside is so nice, I might as well go back. Freeing up the house can help our family."

"The heartless little beast, God doesn't care. He struck him to death with lightning, and even let him find a wife. It's unjust."

Mrs. Jia Zhang was cursing, and Banggeng listened with pricked ears. She also scolded Yang Xiaotao in her heart for not sharing the good food with him even though he was being asked to eat.

Rolling his eyes, Banggeng glanced outside the door.

The family finished their meal and then went to bed.

The next morning, Jia Dongxu went out as usual and didn't know what he was doing. Qin Huairu went to the front yard to chat with the third aunt. Jia Zhang was left at home lying on the bed, bulging her belly to eat meat.

BangGeng touched his belly. The mushy porridge he drank in the morning was so unpleasant that he couldn't drink it after just one sip.

The same goes for Xiaodang next to him, with his big eyes looking for food at home.

"Xiao Dang, come here!"

Bangge glanced outside, then waved to Xiaodang.

After a while, the two came to the yard, now under the locust tree.

BangGeng looked around and said a few words in Xiaodang's ear when there was no one around.

"Remember, but don't forget how to say it."

"Well, remember, brother, you have to hurry up."

Xiaodang nodded, then Banggeng ran to the corner and hid, signaling Xiaodang to start.

Xiaodang looked around, then walked to Shazhu's house.

At this time, He Yuyu went to the grain store to get rations, while Sha Zhu prepared meals at home.

"Uncle He!"

Xiaodang walked in and called out.

Shazhu saw Xiaodang and immediately put down his things when he heard the greeting, "What's up, Xiaodang."

"Well, my mother is looking for you."

After saying that, Xiaodang ran out.

Silly Zhu was confused, but when he heard that Qin Huairu was looking for him, he quickly put down his things and walked outside the house.

After Silly Zhu left, a figure rushed into the house.

Banggan looked around, looked at the eggs in his pocket and immediately grabbed two. There was also a plate of peanuts on the table. He also grabbed a handful and put them in his pocket. Looking around again, there were two fried eggs on the plate. , oily, Banggeng wanted to eat but was afraid of being seen, so he could only endure it and ran out.

"Xiao Dang, go home quickly."

The two of them ran home quickly, and after a while, Shazhu walked home happily.

I just went to see Qin Huairu, and it happened that Qin Huairu really had something to trouble him, so he said a few words by the way, and then came back.

When I got home, I didn’t feel like anything was missing, so I continued cooking.

The two of them returned home and bumped into Jia Zhang.

"Oh, you didn't open your eyes, you ran so fast to get reincarnated."

Mrs. Jia Zhang was rubbing her belly, and the stick on the side was holding an egg in her hand, screaming ouch.

Jia Zhang asked quickly about his development.

"Where did it come from?"

Banggeng replied angrily, "Go to Shazhu's house to get it."

"Oh, he is indeed my great grandson."

"Si Zhu's house has a lot of stuff, just go and get it."

"Come, grandma will cook it for you. Eat it while it's hot."

Mrs. Jia Zhang stepped forward to get the eggs, "No, I want scrambled eggs. The kind with oil."
