Scholars in the courtyard

Yang Xiaotao followed, and the two of them quickly arrived at the place. Yang Xiaotao knew at a glance that it was a place to eat.

It is also a place where the steel rolling mill specially entertains distinguished guests, that is, a small stove is opened.

Xu Yuanshan walked in first. There were not many people in the room, but the aura was very strong.

The top leader sat at the top, Director Tian sat next to him, Secretary Liu and Director Yang sat opposite, there were three empty seats among them, Chen Gong sat next to Director Tian, ​​and there were two other people in the other seats.

As the two entered the door, the leader greeted them and quickly took their seats.

Xu Yuanshan sat next to him, and below him was Yang Xiaotao.

Everyone was here, and Li, the secretary to the factory director, who was waiting at the door, immediately announced that the food would be served.

Zhang Qingjun was the only one working in the kitchen, and it was not convenient to see anyone outside in such an occasion.

He knew in his heart that he could cook these things but not talk about them.

Looking at the director's appearance, one could tell how important this meal was, and he had to be careful about it.

Sitting aside and waiting, he could see what the director was thinking.

But he really couldn't make up his mind to let go of running a restaurant and become a worker.

Although being a worker is very honorable and the wages are good.

But he just couldn't stand being restrained, and he could feed their family by working in the restaurant, so why bother coming here to accept someone's job?

But, this is a steel rolling mill.

How many people want to come in but can't.

There was a moment of hesitation.

"Forget it, go home and listen to your wife!"

At this time, the director came to tell the dishes to be served. Zhang Qingjun immediately opened the lid of the pot and took out the meals one by one.

In the room, Yang Xiaotao sat upright, smiling and nodding from time to time as he listened to the words of several leaders.

Let the leader see that he is listening carefully and understands what the leader means.

In fact, it is just a show.

Of course, when asked, he will answer seriously.

After some discussion, the director brought the food to the table. Everyone was already hungry. Yang Youning raised his hand to greet everyone to eat.

All eyes are on the big leader.

The big leader looked at the dishes on the table and nodded with satisfaction.

It's not that the food on the table is so rich. On the contrary, if big fish and meat are served, he really doesn't dare to eat it.

After all, the national conditions are like this, how can we be extravagant and wasteful?

He couldn't help but criticize a few words. Although there were several meat dishes on the table, the portions were not large, which was good.

After greeting everyone, the leader glanced at the food table, then he was overjoyed and ate a piece of Kung Pao Chicken with chopsticks.

"Huh? This, Kung Pao Chicken is very authentic."

"You all have a taste."

The big leader was delighted because he had tasted this taste many years ago.

Yang Xiaotao followed everyone and took down his chopsticks. Of course, he also guessed that the food on this table was definitely not made by Shazhu.

As for who? This smell is a bit familiar!

"Well, this braised pork is not bad either."

"It seems that your factory has a good master."

"Haha, it's not easy to get the chief's approval."

The big leader smiled, but Yang Youning kept this in mind.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know that because of what happened last night, Shazhu not only lost a component, but also missed the biggest opportunity.

On the other side, Yi Zhonghai, who had just gotten off work, went straight to the hospital without even returning home.

When he left during the day, Si Zhu was still in the operating room.

I didn’t know how the surgery was going, so I hurried over to check on the situation.

When they came outside the ward, they saw Silly Zhu sleeping on the hospital bed. Yi Zhonghai went in carefully, and then glanced at the side. Jia Dongxu was hanging an IV drip opposite.

Yi Zhonghai frowned, but no one was watching? Jia Zhang's life is really getting better and better.

After looking at the two of them, they were both sleeping, and left quietly.

Then I went to the doctor to ask about the situation.

"The patient was sent in time and the operation was successful. Judging from the current situation, the disease is under control after removal. However, some toxins enter the body with the blood and require treatment and observation for a period of time."

"Patients need to supplement their nutrition these days, please be careful. And don't get out of bed and move around..."

Yi Zhonghai remembered what the doctor said, and then asked about Jia Dongxu's condition.

After asking about the relationship between the two, the doctor told Yi Zhonghai that Jia Dongxu's body was already suffering from severe shortages, especially his legs that had begun to atrophy, and it was estimated that his internal organs had also begun to develop lesions.

The situation is not optimistic.

Now the fever persists and requires hospitalization for a period of observation.

Of course, the doctor still recommends amputation as soon as possible, and then cooperate with treatment after removing the obstruction, so that life can be saved in the future.

If it is delayed any longer, it will be difficult to say.

Yi Zhonghai felt heavy after hearing this. After all, he was the disciple he brought out for so many years...

But he really couldn't make the decision in this matter.

And in his heart, he also understood that Jia Dongxu was like this, even if it was good, it was also a drag.

Based on his knowledge of Jia Zhang, it would be even more difficult for her to spend money on medical treatment.

Besides, it was Jia Zhang who made the decision to give up the amputation last time, so she probably didn’t want treatment in her heart.

Wasn't this what the Yang family was like back then? A good family was dragged down by an illness.

If it weren't for Yang Xiaotao's ambition...

The Jia family understood the secret behind this, so they chose to give up.

After all, not everyone has Yang Xiaotao's ability.

Without thinking too much, Yi Zhonghai looked at the two people on the hospital bed again.

As his eyes swayed, he already had a choice.

After leaving the ward, go and pay the hospitalization fee first and get the receipt.

Silly Zhu is different from Jia Dongxu. For his injury, he can go to the steel rolling mill to reimburse part of it, which can also reduce the burden.

After paying the money, remembering what the doctor said about supplementing nutrition, Yi Zhonghai went to the market and bought an old hen before returning home.

There was a lot of discussion in the courtyard.

The workers who came back told us about today's grand occasion. The steel rolling mill had put in a lot of effort to welcome the exchange group. Not only was the scene beautiful, the food was also improved, and the workers were naturally happy.

Some people talked about Si Zhu. Some people said that Si Zhu had injured his descendants and that the He family would be extinct in the future. Others said that Si Zhu was shot in the thigh. The bullet was poisonous and he needed to be hospitalized.

Then we talked about Jia Dongxu.

Some people think that Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu are inevitably responsible for Jia Dong's cold and high fever at home.

Everyone went to Xu Damao's house to enjoy the blessings. It was too cruel to leave the useless man behind regardless of his life or death.

There are others who speak for Qin Huairu. The one who is really cruel is Jia Zhang. At least Qin Huairu, a pregnant woman with a big belly, still takes care of a disabled man.

Jia Dongxu is the biological son of Jia Zhang. It is too dark for a mother to behave like this.

Mr. Jia Zhang sat at the door of her house and turned a deaf ear to the discussions in the courtyard.

I've been in a daze all day and didn't even go to the hospital.

She only thought about why the Jia family was in such trouble?

She didn't believe what the second aunt said about retribution. If it was retribution, she had done so many bad things in those years and she would have received it long ago.

But what's going on this year? My son became disabled just after the Chinese New Year, and now this happens again?

Could it be possible that something dirty was really provoked?

No, it's not this year, but ever since that woman married into the Jia family, the family has been unquiet.

Good day every day.

Yes, that's her.

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu who was cleaning up the house, and the hatred in her heart rose up.

This woman is just a broom star. When she was at the Yang family, she killed Old Yang. When she came to their house, she brought even more bad luck.

Life is getting worse and worse, and now her son is almost dead. It's not her fault, but whose fault is it?

In an instant, Jia Zhang was about to find Qin Huairu and drive out this woman who brought bad luck.

But before he took two steps, the anger on his face was replaced by fear rising in his heart.

Qin Huairu took the job of his own steel rolling mill.

If we kick her out, who will take care of her in old age? Without income, is it possible to return to the countryside?

"No, no, I won't go, I can't go back. But..."

Jia Zhang's inner struggle was constantly intertwined, and her whole person became disgusting.

People in the courtyard stayed away when they passed by.

When Yi Zhonghai came back with the old hen, he glanced at it twice and Jia Zhang just nodded blankly.

In a daze, Mrs. Jia Zhang stared at the old hen in Yi Zhonghai's hand, her lips dry.

For a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then his face became calm.

She finally succumbed to reality.

However, looking at Yi Zhonghai, the Shazhu family, the Yang Xiaotao family, and other people who laughed at their Jia family.

A voice rose in my heart, "I can't just let this woman harm my family."

"Keep her, keep her in this compound!"

"Woe to everyone."

At this moment, Jia Zhang's eyes looked at Qin Huairu, full of revenge.

In the backyard, Liu Haizhong was drinking wine at home.

I thought that this exchange would be an opportunity for him to express himself, and then he would be favored by the leader and embark on an official career.

However, just when he was ready for everything, he was told that there was no place for him at all.

At the steel rolling mill, the minimum number of workers present this time was level eight. He is a seventh-level blacksmith and has no qualifications to attend.

Contempt, naked contempt.

What seems normal to others is despising him in his eyes.

Is it possible that the seventh-level forger is not a talent of the steel rolling mill?

Bullying him can't handle a hammer, right?

Liu Haizhong felt filled with passion, nowhere to release it, and endless grief and anger.

"Old man, look at it, there is still need for care in this courtyard."

The second aunt was explaining to the side, "The old lady next door hasn't come out these two days, and you don't want to go and see her either."

"The Jia family's mess, and Xu Damao's matter. Aren't these all matters in the courtyard? As the second uncle, you can't just leave it alone."

The second aunt is well aware of Liu Haizhong's pleasure. These words really made Liu Haizhong regain his composure and boost his fighting spirit.

Yi Zhonghai returned home and told his aunt about the matter.

After hearing this, the aunt felt panicked. If this becomes inhumane in the future, what will she do in the future? Not married yet!

Yi Zhonghai didn't say much and just asked Aunt Ma to stew the chicken.

Then he was about to go to the backyard to see the deaf old lady, but was stopped by the eldest lady.

Only then did I know that the deaf old lady was frightened last night and now she is hiding behind closed doors.

Yi Zhonghai frowned and went to the backyard.

The deaf old lady was sitting on the bed. She hadn't eaten anything all day and she didn't feel hungry.

What happened last night left her unsettled.

Yi Zhonghai's voice came from the door, and the deaf old lady was about to open the door.

snap

But I didn't want to do it for a long time, my legs and feet were numb, and I was lying on the ground.

Yi Zhonghai heard the noise at the door and quickly banged the door, worried about the situation inside.

It took a while before I heard the deaf old lady's voice, and then the door was pushed open and closed again.

The two talked for a while in the house, and it was not until dark that Yi Zhonghai returned home with a solemn expression.

By the time Yang Xiaotao returned to the courtyard, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

This meal is not much, but it takes time.

Back in the courtyard, Wang Dashan came over to chat before he had rested.

Yang Xiaotao mainly wanted to hear the voices of the people in the courtyard. After all, his behavior last night was reasonable intellectually, but emotionally a bit inhumane.

If he can't save even a single child, who can such a person be expected to save?

Fortunately, many people in the courtyard have come from the war, and they have become accustomed to it after seeing it often.

I was used to this kind of thing, so I didn’t say much.

Yang Xiaotao felt much more at ease.

After going home and washing up, I lay down on the bed. The sound of gunshots was still lingering in my mind, and gradually the sound of children crying and shouting, and then the sound gradually faded away, and I was immersed in sleep.
