Scholars in the courtyard

It’s Friday, December 7th.

In the morning, Yang Xiaotao pushed the car to the steel rolling mill. As soon as he walked out of the gate, Jia Zhang appeared in the yard behind him, raising his head to show off.

"Huai Ru, buy half a catty of meat today, and let's make dumplings tonight!"

Behind her, Qin Huairu stopped washing clothes and was playing in the yard with BangGeng, "Mom, half a catty is not enough. Why don't you invite Yan Jiecheng and them tonight? Buy more!"

If it had been before, when Qin Huairu said this, Jia Zhang would have jumped up and started scolding her, and might even slap Qin Huairu twice.

But today, Mrs. Jia Zhang seemed to have changed. Not only did she not curse, but she smiled and nodded for the first time.

"Okay, then buy more, and let's call the uncle and go to Shazhu's house for a drink!"

Qin Huairu looked at the shocked crowd around her, raised her chin, and led Banggeng Xiaodang out.

Along the way, Bangge was still jumping with his feet, cheering that he was eating meat, eating meat!

There was a commotion from the people around.

"I said, what happened to Mr. Jia Zhang today? Did he take the wrong medicine?"

"Who knows, maybe it's been too long since I've eaten meat!"

"I don't think so. The man at my house said two days ago that the Jia family was making stoves in the workshop. I heard that the three uncles have joined the gang. Don't you think so? They are making money!"

"Hey, it's really possible!"

At this time, an aunt carrying a wooden basin walked up to Jia Zhang and asked for information.

Since Jia Zhang stood up so early in the morning, she had no intention of hiding anything.

Someone asked, so of course he told the story.

Hearing that the Jia family followed Yang Xiaotao to pick up leaks and build a heating stove, and it seemed that they had made a lot of money, people in the courtyard were even talking about it.

Many people thought of something and came over to ask if they wanted to help.

Some people came up to compliment her and asked how much money she earned. Jia Zhang enjoyed everyone's envious looks, but shook her head and said nothing.

It's not that she didn't want to say it, but she actually didn't know how much money she earned. She only knew that every time Jia Dongxu went down to collect money, he would count them on the bed, stack by stack, and she felt happy just looking at them.

As for wanting to do it together, Jia and Zhang are not stupid. One more person to share the money with is not poaching her flesh.

"Huh, what's there to be proud of!"

There was a sneer, and a group of people nearby looked on with disdain.

Everyone in their family said they worked with Yang Xiaotao.

Jia and Zhang didn't pay attention, and kept praising them for how well they made the heater, how hot it was selling, and how much money they had made.

Anyway, it was just a show off. Gradually, the second aunt and the third aunt in the backyard came over. Although they didn't say anything, the excitement on their faces was clearly visible.

"Bah, you're picking up leftovers from other people's meals one by one, and you're still showing off shamelessly here. You're so damn old!"

"Yes, what's there to say? With the little money you earn, you're not as good as a little soldier!"

The person who spoke was the Liu family’s young daughter-in-law. His husband followed Xing Jiaqi and Wang Jun from Wang Dashan’s family. They have been busy these days. Although the money has not been paid yet, the installation fee is one yuan per family, which is a lot of money. Yang Xiaotao said yes.

During the time that Wang Jun followed behind and installed it, he earned more than the men in his family.

Several women around him began to fight back, and the sarcasm in the courtyard became more and more intense.

Yang Xiaotao was not aware of the commotion in the courtyard. After arriving at the workshop, Yang Xiaotao began to inspect the newly built heating stove.

Putting on his glasses, Yang Xiaotao checked around the stove, and finally nodded with satisfaction amid the expectations of Wang Fa and others.

For them, as long as they pass Yang Xiaotao's test, the quality is guaranteed, which is naturally an authoritative recognition of Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao was also very satisfied with everyone's performance and did not relax his requirements because of urgency.

Yang Xiaotao asked people to move the stove into the warehouse and go to the school to install it tomorrow.

A few people chatted and found out that it had been more than a month since the initial installation, and they had a lot of money on hand.

Wang Fa and others were also excited after hearing this. Each of them had an account in their mind. Because they knew clearly, they knew how much money they had earned by following Yang Xiaotao this time.

Although he earns 62 yuan per month as a sixth-level fitter, at the end of the month, what he gets is at least one month's salary.

An extra month's salary for nothing would make anyone excited. Even family members would be happy if they knew about it.

Especially Wang Guodong and the others, their ranks are not high, and their lives are tight at home. If something happens like this, it won't be a stress, but a strain on their muscles and bones.

Therefore, I usually don’t dare to spend money lavishly after I earn money. I am used to being poor, so I naturally understand that this money is not easy to come by.

"This wave of work is over. When the time comes, we will distribute the money and make the brothers happy."

Yang Xiaotao said, thinking in his mind that the income from selling heating stoves this time was not small, and he had several thousand on hand. This time after Hongxing Elementary School, it was another income.

"By the way, your brothers must figure it out and don't let anyone be wronged."

"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, even if we suffer a little loss, we can't let our brothers be left cold!"

"Um!"

After a few people finished speaking, they spread the news. In an instant, the workers in the third workshop were full of enthusiasm, wishing that such a good thing would happen every month.

After leaving the steel rolling mill in the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao went to Ran's house.

A good thing like a radiator should not be forgotten about your mother-in-law's house when you install it in your own home.

This morning, the two brothers Zhou Kui went to install it, as Yang Xiaotao had agreed to do before.

The money is on him.

I rode to Ran's house. As soon as I entered the yard, I was greeted by someone. It turned out to be the man in charge of the yard.

"Uncle Ran, come quickly, I have something to ask you."

"Uncle, what do you want to say?"

"Hey, it doesn't matter that you have a heating stove in your house. This thing is really warm when it burns. I heard that it was you who tinkered with it?"

"Ah, uncle, if you like it, why don't I install one for you too?"

Yang Xiaotao naturally knew why he was called.

Yang Xiaotao had considered this matter before. They were in the same yard, especially with the current situation of the Ran family. It was especially obvious that distant relatives were not as good as close neighbors.

If you have a good relationship with your neighbors, you can help out with anything, and even if it's worse, you can spread the word.

So when Ran's family was installing heating furnaces, Yang Xiaotao reserved three sets of heating furnaces just to help Ran's family.

"That's a good relationship, but I heard that you won't take orders anymore?"

"Yes, there are too many orders now, and production can't keep up, so I don't dare to accept them randomly."

"oh."

The uncle was a little disappointed, but Yang Xiaotao came up to him and whispered, "But it doesn't matter. We always make preparations when doing things. There are three sets of stoves in the warehouse. If there is no problem, we will take them out and install one for your home first." .”

The uncle's eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up.

"It's open, then I'll wait."

"Look at you."

Saying goodbye to the uncle, Yang Xiaotao came to Ran's house.

At this time, Ran Hongbing and his two children went to school, and Ran's mother was the only one left at home, who was cleaning up the house. When she saw Yang Xiaotao coming, she came over quickly.

"Why do you have time to come here? I heard that you are so busy that you can't even eat? This is not possible."

Before Yang Xiaotao could speak, Ran's mother kept nagging her. She really treated her uncle as half a son.

"Mom, why don't I come over and see how the stove is doing."

"Okay, so are you. Why are you spending the money? You can still use the stove as before."

"This stove saves coal"

After Yang Xiaotao talked for a while, Ran's mother looked at the weather and prepared to cook and asked him to stay for dinner. However, Yang Xiaotao waved his hand and said that he had something else to do and rode home.

Originally, he wanted to go back to Yangjiazhuang, after all, his wife was there.

But the fatigue of the past few days made him stop thinking, not to mention that he had to go to school to install the heater tomorrow, so he rode home.

As soon as I reached the entrance of the alley, I saw Shazhu, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian walking arm in arm. I was wondering, why did these three people get together?

Yang Xiaotao was surprised, but ignored the three of them and rode his bicycle to the back.

ding ding ding ding

The bell on the handlebar rang. When the three people in front heard the noise, they immediately turned around and saw Yang Xiaotao. Yan Jie, the one on the outside, stood up and walked to the side with a serious look on his face.

Liu Guangtian also lost his smile when he saw it, and moved his body to the side.

Only Silly Zhu in the middle glanced back, and then continued walking without taking it seriously.

"What are you doing? Let's go our own way. The road is so wide. It's not enough for you to walk on?"

Silly Zhu walked slowly without looking back.

Yang Xiaotao felt funny in his heart. He looked at Yan Jiecheng, but he didn't dare to look at him. When he looked at Liu Guangtian again, he lowered his head and walked away quickly.

Use your feet hard and pass by Silly Zhu.

"Bah! Isn't it just a bicycle? I made money and bought a new one!"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao walking into the front yard, Silly Zhu immediately spit on the ground and said disdainfully.

"What are you two afraid of? You both have one head and two arms. What can Yang Xiaotao do to you?"

Yan Jiecheng smiled and said, "Hey, Brother Zhu is still awesome, he is as immovable as a mountain!"

After hearing this, Silly Zhu immediately patted Yan Jiecheng on the shoulder, "That's a good thing to say. I don't believe he dared to hit me!"

"That's it, that's it!"

Liu Guangtian was also smiling at the side, and the three of them walked into the courtyard together.

"Okay, you go back first and work again tomorrow. I'll go pay the money."

Silly Zhu said to Yan Jiecheng and the other two, his eyes lit up, and he walked towards Jia's house.

At this time, Jia Dongxu probably didn't come back.

Yang Xiaotao returned to the yard and had just put the car away when Wang Dashan hurriedly walked over.

I went home today and heard my daughter-in-law talk about the Jia family. This family is also shameless. They plagiarize others and are shameless. Wang Dashan was so angry that he wanted to argue with him when he came back.

This plagiarized heating stove has harmed his family's interests. If his customers are robbed, his family Wang Jun's income will be less. Who would be happy?

But in the end he was stopped by his wife, who was about to tell Yang Xiaotao about the matter and listen to Yang Xiaotao's side of the story.

"Uncle Dashan, what's going on?"

"Xiao Tao, come to my house for a drink."

Even if Wang Dashan was angry, he didn't dare to look at Yang Xiaotao and tried to stay calm.

"good!"

Yang Xiaotao put the things back at home, then took out an old ham from the space and came to Wang Dashan's house.

As soon as he sat down, Wang Dashan filled the cup with tea and started talking about things in the courtyard.

When Yang Xiaotao heard this, he was immediately surprised. He didn't expect that the copycat was on him.

He has been so busy these days that he leaves early and comes home late and doesn't know much about what's going on in the yard. He didn't expect that the Jia family would have such an idea. It's really disgusting.

"Are you angry or not? The old lady Jia Zhang was showing off her power in the yard. I don't know, she thought it was the heating stove made by her family. How shameless!"

Aunt Wang complained angrily. Today she was sarcastic with a few aunts headed by Jia Zhang in the yard, but it was of no use. The other party was more shameless than the city gate building, and they were invulnerable.

hehe

After Yang Xiaotao heard this, he was surprised at first, and then he laughed indifferently.

Both Wang Dashan and Wang Dashan were confused, "Xiao Tao, why are you still laughing?"

"Uncle Dashan, listen to me."

Yang Xiaotao organized his thoughts, "Have you seen their heating stove?"

"This does not!"

After Wang Dashan finished speaking, he looked at his wife, and Aunt Wang clapped her hands, "Now that I heard about this, I specifically asked Xiaojun to go and have a look. I'll probably be back soon!"

"Then just wait, you guys, don't be anxious. The things I made are not something that cats and dogs can imitate."

"Maybe I'll get into trouble!"

When the two of them saw what Yang Xiaotao said, they felt relieved. Aunt Wang hurriedly went to cook while Yang Xiaotao chatted with Wang Dashan.
