Scholars in the courtyard

When Mrs. Jia and Zhang left, the deaf old lady saw Lou Xiao'e's appearance and didn't stay long. She got up and returned home.

Lou Xiao'e closed the door and leaned against the door.

My mind was confused for a long time, and I rushed to the bed, buried myself in the quilt and started to cry.

After lunch, Yang Xiaotao went to visit Tang School.

We can't put off school matters. Our children will go to school on Monday, so we have to hurry up.

"Daughter-in-law, let's have chicken tonight."

Ran Qiuye nodded after listening. There was still some money at home. Since Yang Xiaotao said to add chicken drumsticks to Wangcai, he must do it.

You can't break your trust with a dog.

woof woof

Wangcai shouted happily in the yard, and even ran to Ran Qiuye, shaking his head.

"This beast can please people."

Yang Xiaotao said something and was about to push the cart out.

At this time, at the Moon Gate, Lou Xiaoe came out with a small bag.

When he saw Ran Qiuye and Yang Xiaotao, he bowed his head and left without saying hello.

Ran Qiuye also saw Lou Xiao'e. She also heard Jia Zhang's noise at noon, but she was helpless.

Xu Damao was very polite to his family if he didn't cause trouble.

But facing Lou Xiao'e, whom he had a lot of contacts with, Ran Qiuye couldn't say those words.

I can only lament that I am not a kind person when I meet someone.

Lou Xiao'e lowered her head and left quickly, and soon disappeared at the hanging flower door.

"Daughter-in-law, there are still two apples in the house. Let's eat them this afternoon."

Yang Xiaotao glanced at Lou Xiao'e and stopped paying attention. He told Ran Qiuye to pay attention to his health. Ran Qiuye pursed his lips and nodded, "I know, pay attention to your health when working."

"Don't worry, you don't know this figure yet."

"gone."

Bo

After kissing her cheek, Ran Qiuye's face instantly turned red. Looking at the people on the left and right, she quickly pushed Yang Xiaotao and returned to the house.

Yang Xiaotao smiled and left the yard on his bicycle.

Soon I saw Lou Xiao'e at the entrance of the alley. The car was driving slowly and without deliberately avoiding it, but it had no intention of stopping.

Normal speed, calm mind.

The two of them missed each other.

'If we miss it, we are all at fault. In the corner of happiness, what else should we ask for?'

Yang Xiaotao was riding a bicycle and remembered a song he heard in his previous life. The name was Missing.

Since we missed each other, we each have our own lives and significant other, so don’t get involved.

This is good for everyone.

Yang Xiaotao thinks so. Although he does not agree with the sentence in this song that love is a bubble and can be easily broken, he also understands that love cannot tolerate a grain of sand.

He loves Ran Qiuye very much, and Ran Qiuye also has the same mentality as him.

The love between the two is by no means a bubble.

Their hearts are together and they love and protect each other.

This kind of love is very strong and solid. Even if it suffers wind, frost, rain and dew in the future, we can share the joys and sorrows together.

But if there is an extra grain of sand in this heart, that solid fortress will turn into foam.

It breaks at the first touch.

Watching Yang Xiaotao walk away, Lou Xiao'e took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and walked away facing the sunshine.

She shouldn't be here.

Arriving at Chongwen District Primary School, Yang Xiaotao was called over by Wang Fa to inquire about the situation as soon as he arrived. Yang Xiaotao did not hide anything and told the story. Both Wang Fa and Liu Guogang breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay!"

Wang Fa was thankful that compared to Liu Guogang, he was just a man, "What a bastard, how dare you bully the people in our steel rolling mill."

"Xiao Tao, look at it, if those bastards come out, they will be beaten to death."

Yang Xiaotao was stunned, and suddenly remembered that this guy was the one who chased Shazhu with a hammer, "Well, it will probably take a few years for them to figure it out."

"a ha ha ha."

"Then come out and hammer again."

Yang Xiaotao didn't want to talk more about this topic. He found Principal Zhou and after both parties had no objections, he called the steel rolling mill, and soon preparations were made to start construction.

On the other side, Lou Xiao'e slowly walked home.

Lou's mother was very surprised that her daughter came back, especially because she looked so repulsive, and she felt worried at the same time.

The last time Lou Xiao'e came back, she had a quarrel with Xu Damao. Although she said they had reconciled, it also made the master unhappy.

I don’t know what happened when I came back this time.

Lou Xiao'e sat on the sofa and finished talking about the matter. Lou's mother was shocked. It was not good to be taken to the police station and such a thing happened.

After getting the news, Lou Jingtang returned home and heard Lou Xiao'e say this. He immediately slammed the table in anger.

Lou Xiao'e didn't react at all, which made Lou Jingtang feel even more distressed.

He has seen how his daughter has changed over the years, from a carefree, simple and optimistic daughter to what she is now. Even though she has matured, it is not what a father wants to see.

If possible, he would rather abandon this inheritance and save his daughter.

Before, he thought that finding a man of good family background to marry his daughter would be the best way.

But now it seems that he is blind.

Lou's mother saw that Lou Jingtang was silent, and Lou Xiao'e also didn't mention anything about Xu Damao. She spoke anxiously, "Master, Damao is still in the police station. If you don't hurry up..."

Snapped

Lou's mother looked at Lou Jingtang in disbelief. Lou Jingtang, who had never done anything for so many years, actually hit her.

For a moment, I was terrified.

"Don't talk about that beast."

"If you hadn't told me that the Xu family is good, with good family background and good character, would I have married Xiao'e to that bastard Xu Damao? Have I wiped his butt too much over the years?"

"Last time, that beast beat my daughter. You said the couple were noisy, fighting at the head of the bed and fighting at the end of the bed."

"Fart. My daughter, Lou Jingtang, can't bear to lift a finger. Where does Xu Damao have the courage?"

"It's all because of you stupid woman with long hair and no sense. Let me tell you, if you dare to interfere in Xiao'e's future affairs, I will divorce you and go back to my hometown."

Lou Jingtang's sudden outburst even Lou Xiao'e was restrained.

Seeing her mother lying on the ground, she quickly went over to help her up. Lou's mother's eyes were lifeless, and she was frightened, filled with sadness, and started to cry.

Only then did she realize that the original Lou Jingtang who had stunned the Four Nine Cities had not changed, but had just hidden his fangs.

Lou Xiao'e looked at her angry father and heard the roar behind her. She said every word from the bottom of her heart. Her heart softened and she threw herself into her father's arms.

"dad……"

"Hey, be good, be good. As long as dad is here, no one can hurt you."

At this moment, Lou Jingtang had decided to let go of everything and just wanted to give his daughter a safe harbor.

Moreover, he has seen clearly over the years that in today's world, there is no use in clinging to those unrealistic existences.

Instead, it would be better to use this last thing to give him, his daughter, and his family a chance.

Thinking of this, Lou Jingtang took Lou Xiao'e back to the study.

Lou Xiao'e looked sad, which made Lou Jingtang even more uncomfortable.

"Xiao'e, dad wants to ask you, if you get divorced, will you blame dad?"

In an instant, Lou Xiao'e raised her head sharply, and then slowly shook her head.

In the beginning, in order for her to live a peaceful life, she married Xu Damao.

But now it seems that there is no peaceful life at all.

It's good to leave.

"Okay. As long as you nod, Dad will feel relieved."

Lou Jingtang let go of his worries, and then said solemnly, "When the relationship is over, Dad will arrange a job for you."

This time, Lou Xiao'e's eyes were filled with disbelief.

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao led everyone to work overtime. When they returned to the courtyard, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Looking at the courtyard where the lights had been turned off long ago, Yang Xiaotao walked home carefully without making any noise.

Wangcai was wagging his tail in the yard to welcome Yang Xiaotao's arrival.

"Daughter-in-law, you're back!"

Yang Xiaotao pushed the car into the next room, opened the side door and saw Ran Qiuye half leaning on the bed. When Yang Xiaotao came in, he was about to get up and serve Yang Xiaotao food.

"Why so late?"

"Don't move, just lie down."

"It's okay. Get up and move around. Lying down all the time won't do."

Ran Qiuye got up from the bed and picked up the stew pot on the stove with chicken stewed in it.

"Did you eat it?"

"Eat, eat quickly."

Yang Xiaotao rubbed his hands, "If you finish half of it tonight, you can finish the school tomorrow."

"It's so fast. Don't make any mistakes."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Yang Xiaotao washed his hands and finished cooking, picked up the meat, tore it into strips, and kept it for later eating.

Chicken skin and breast meat can also be mixed together to make chicken skin jelly.

This stuff is not greasy and suitable for pregnant women.

In the end, the chicken was removed and the chicken soup was left behind. Yang Xiaotao gnawed on the chicken bones and ate two steamed buns.

Of course, the remaining bones were given to Wangcai, which disappointed Wangcai who had been waiting hard all night for the chicken legs.

In this regard, Yang Xiaotao's explanation is that what is given to you is the bones of a whole chicken, which is much more than one leg.

Gugu~

In Jia's house, several people in the house were awake, and their stomachs were rumbling one after another, making it so noisy that even Jia and Zhang could not sleep.

"Does this bastard want to eat? If she doesn't want to eat, I'll help her eat it. I put a chicken on the stove to stew for a long time, thinking that others can't afford the chicken."

Mrs. Jia Zhang scolded her for a while while doing it, and then quickly went to hide in bed. She was saving coal at home and the stove was a little small.

"Dad, can we still eat roast duck in the future?"

Banggeng hugged Jia Dongxu's arm and felt that it was not so cold when he got closer.

Jia Dongxu was troubled. He went to Yi Zhonghai to borrow ten yuan today. He felt unhappy. When he heard Bangge's question, he twitched his arm and turned around.

"mom…"

Qin Huairu hugged Xiaodang. After hearing her son's words, she looked at Jia Dongxu in the dark night, with a flash of sadness in her eyes.

"Yes, Mom will let you eat roast duck!"

"Well, it's better to be mom..."

Banggeng said happily, and Jia Dongxu moved twice behind him.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao continued to run to school. Wang Fa and others arrived not too late, and a group of people took the time to work.

At the same time, other people in the steel rolling mill also began to undertake the task of installing heating furnaces under the arrangement of the factory. Driven by the workers in the third workshop, the workers in the entire steel rolling mill burst out with great enthusiasm, and soon the production speed could not keep up with the delivery of the warehouse. At a fast pace, the inventory in the warehouse is getting smaller and smaller.

Monday, in the factory director’s office.

Yang Youning looked at the production orders in recent days and his mouth never closed.

"Lao Yang, hey, my mouth is drooling."

Liu Huaimin walked in with a cup of water. It has been too cold recently. The steel rolling mill still has the original furnace. There was no time to install a heating furnace, so several people had to wear tight clothes when working.

Seeing Liu Huaimin come in, Yang Youning put the report aside, glanced at Liu Huaimin again, and said jokingly, "Old Liu, why are you doing this? People have already served you, you two are so stubborn. .”

Liu Huaimin didn't take it seriously, "My family is just a couple, and we only use the heating stove. I'd better give it to comrades in need."

"I can't say enough about you."

Yang Youning didn't say much. Now several of their homes have heating furnaces installed, and even the director below has installed them.

Oh, by the way, it seems that Xu Yuanshan is not pretending either.

The two of them were sitting next to each other. Liu Huaimin saw half a pack of cigarettes in front of the table and reached for it.

"Hey, this is all I have left this month!"

"Stingy, it's just a cigarette."

"What, what about yours?"

"I've run out of use already, why don't I come to your place to find cigarettes?"

"you…"

Yang Youning took a deep breath and didn't get angry.

The two lit it up and smoke filled the air.

"There will be an assessment at the end of the month. The factory has been a bit impetuous recently!"

Liu Huaimin said, although the heating furnace is online, it has brought a lot of profits to the factory, and many workers have also tasted the benefits, but in this steel rolling mill, the focus is still on the skills at hand.

The payment of invoices is based on rank.

"Xu Yuanshan also mentioned this to me. This is also the reason why there is no expansion."

"Well, if everyone goes to build the stove, it will be overused!"
