Scholars in the courtyard

On the other side, after Director Gao left, Yang Xiaotao returned to the office.

When Lou Xiao'e saw Yang Xiaotao coming back, she quickly poured a cup of hot water, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao with excitement, "What do you think? Can such a thing be made?"

When Lou Xiao'e returned home last night, she talked with her father about the pressure well.

With Lou's father's experience, he could see the benefits of this thing to agriculture at a glance. When he told Lou Xiao'e, Lou Xiao'e was also shocked.

Immediately, the father and daughter talked for a long time again.

Yang Xiaotao took a sip of water and said, "I just saw it, thought about it, and then made it."

Yang Xiaotao said calmly, and Lou Xiao'e admired him even more.

This guy is really capable.

Bang bang

There was a knock at the door. Lou Xiao'e turned around and opened the door, and saw Yu Haitang, who was well-dressed, standing at the door.

"Mr. Yang, Director Xu asked me to ask you about the situation about the pressure well..."

Yu Haitang didn't look at Lou Xiao'e and walked straight to the opposite side of Yang Xiaotao's table.

Yang Xiaotao touched his forehead. This is really not letting anyone rest.

"Xiao'e, give Comrade Yu Haitang a chair and a glass of water."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded, then went to get the water tank, placed it in front of Yu Haitang, and then stood next to Yang Xiaotao.

Use their position to show that they are in the same group.

Yu Haitang glanced at Lou Xiao'e. A divorced woman was not a threat.

It's just that this person is here, and there are some things that I can't say.

"Okay, just ask."

Yu Haitang's eyes sparkled, and she felt that her previous decision was too arbitrary.

Yang Xiaotao's path cannot be cut off.

"Gong Yang, what is your purpose in designing the pressure well?"

"Agriculture is now vigorously developing across the country. In order to increase income-generating agricultural output, increase yields per mu, and reduce the impact of agricultural water on food..."

Yu Haitang kept jotting down notes in his notebook. It wasn't until after get off work that Yang Xiaotao got up and interrupted the conversation.

"After get off work, I have to go home and cook for my wife. If you need to ask anything, I'll talk to you tomorrow."

After saying that, he nodded to Lou Xiao'e and said, "Close the door when you get there."

Lou Xiao'e smiled and nodded, then watched Yang Xiaotao leave.

Yu Haitang was stunned on the spot, but he quickly reacted, smiled at Lou Xiao'e, and walked out quickly.

"Haha, little girl Fianzi, you really think you are so capable."

Lou Xiao'e looked at Yu Haitang with disdain. She was much prettier than her at first, but she wasn't...

well!

After leaving the steel rolling mill, Yang Xiaotao biked to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the family has to prepare New Year’s goods.

Although there were many things in the space, he did not dare to take out the out-of-season vegetables.

In this era, greenhouse cultivation has not yet taken off.

I came to the vegetable market and looked around for a while. Most of them were selling cabbage.

These were all dug out of the vegetable cellar and still had soil on them.

Unlike the cabbage sold in later generations, today’s cabbage is reluctant to throw away even if its outer layer is soiled.

Those who sell are reluctant to part with it, and those who buy it are even more reluctant to part with it.

A little bit of soil, washed clean, and eaten as usual.

In winter, in addition to cabbage, there are also radishes, so Yang Xiaotao bought some. After walking around for a while, he met someone selling beans and winter melons, and Yang Xiaotao also bought some.

After spending the food tickets and money, Yang Xiaotao drove home.

When we arrived at the entrance of the alley, there were five pork ribs hanging on the front handle of the car.

Nature is taken out of space.

These days, pork ribs are much cheaper than pork, and for the same money, people are more willing to buy meat because meat can rely on oil.

But the ribs are dry. Not only are they less fat, but more than half of them are bones, so most people won't buy them.

As we rode through the alleys, many people saw Yang Xiaotao buying ribs, and they envied Yang Xiaotao's life.

However, after hearing about the steel rolling mill, I felt that people who eat meat must be capable.

As far as the treatment of a ninth-level engineer is concerned, not only eating meat every day, but also eating meat every three days, it is not enough.

Moreover, he is still so young and has a long way to go.

Yang Xiaotao greeted everyone, and when he came to the door, he happened to meet Wang Dashan and others. He took out the cigarettes and divided them among several people. Everyone took them with a smile. Then he heard that Jia Zhang in the yard had lost money again.

"It can't be another Jia family kid who steals it."

"It's hard to tell. That family is used to crying about poverty and beating them up."

"No, just don't worry about it. Let her make trouble on her own."

Everyone was talking, and Yang Xiaotao walked home after listening for a while.

As soon as we entered the front yard and before passing through the hanging flower gate, we heard the cry of Mrs. Jia Zhang in the middle yard.

Yang Xiaotao speeds up, this old godly woman is always looking for trouble.

When they arrived at the middle courtyard, they saw Mrs. Jia Zhang slumped at the door, her hair disheveled and a piece missing from the top of her head. She looked a bit like the Fire Cloud Evil God, but even more embarrassed.

The people in the surrounding yards were doing whatever they were supposed to do. They were busy cooking, washing vegetables, and even chatting and spanking with others. Anyway, no one cared about them.

When Yang Xiaotao came over, many people in the middle courtyard greeted him again.

Today's Yang Xiaotao is completely different from what he used to be.

When Madeliang from the backyard came back, he directly told what happened in the workshop. Not to mention how excited his family was, even people from other rolling mills in the yard felt close to him after hearing it.

Now, the third and eighth workshops have benefited, but what about the future?

Yang Xiaotao was standing as an engineer in a steel rolling mill, so he would always benefit from the rain and dew.

So if you don't establish a good relationship at this time, you can still make people rush to beg you?

joke!

After thinking about this, all the workers in the steel rolling mill in the courtyard stood in Yang Xiaotao's team.

It is estimated that the next time there is a hospital-wide meeting, there will be even more people standing behind Yang Xiaotao.

After pushing the car and greeting people all the way, Yang Xiaotao returned home.

In the room, Ran Qiuye was talking to an old lady.

This person is Madeliang's grandmother. She is over 60 years old and can be considered an old person in this hospital.

Maybe it’s because his feet are bound, so he doesn’t want to go out on weekdays, so he hangs around the backyard, taking care of his own family affairs, and doesn’t interfere with matters in the compound.

Yang Xiaotao walked into the house and called the old man "grandma" when he saw him. The old man showed few teeth and said, "This child is very capable at first glance."

Ran Qiuye smiled at the side. When the old man saw Yang Xiaotao coming back, he sat there for a while and prepared to leave.

Ran Qiuye invited him to stay for dinner, but the old man refused and went back to the backyard.

"I just came here a while ago and brought a pack of snacks."

Ran Qiuye said happily. She naturally knew why the old man came. Was it Yang Xiaotao who helped her grandson?

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao told the story, "This is all their director's idea, but it should also be related to a courtyard house."

Then Yang Xiaotao talked about the old lady. The old lady gave birth to two sons. Now the eldest son stayed in the courtyard. The younger son separated from the family, had trouble with the family, and moved out.

In those days, it was common for people to marry a daughter-in-law and forget their mother. Everyone said they were justified, but in fact they were forced by poverty.

It sounds like a bunch of crap.

Ran Qiuye nodded. This kind of short-sightedness has been heard a lot at home.

It is true that the folk customs are simple and honest, but the material scarcity is also true.

Some people are willing to sacrifice for the sake of family affection, and naturally some people abandon burdens for the sake of life.

Yang Xiaotao asked Ran Qiuye to rest while he put away the ribs and prepared to make winter melon and ribs soup.

This is a good thing to enhance immunity and supplement nutrition.

Peel the winter melon, then cut into small pieces, and continue to pack the ribs.

Ran Qiuye looked at the textured kitchen knife in Yang Xiaotao's hand. This knife was not light. Only Yang Xiaotao was good at it at home. She usually used another knife for cooking.

Moreover, Yang Xiaotao was very skilled in swordsmanship, and she couldn't even learn it.

While Yang Xiaotao was packing the ribs, Ran Qiuye pulled a green onion from the barrel and peeled it next to him. After thinking about it, he decided to talk to Yang Xiaotao.

After a while, Yang Xiaotao put the ribs in a pot and boiled them in hot water. Hearing Ran Qiuye talk about it, he was not curious at all.

When I entered the courtyard, I heard that Mrs. Jia Zhang had lost money, and I thought that Ran Qiuye would say this.

"Let me tell you, no one in Jia's family is simple, so don't be angry. I still feel bad for being angry."

After hearing this, Ran Qiuye said, "I just think this family is so shameless."

"It's normal. Otherwise, why are they the Jia family?"

Yang Xiaotao sat the pot on the stove, and the two talked about the pressure well. They would return to Yangjiazhuang tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, which happened to be the 27th and 8th of the twelfth lunar month. This year is the Little New Year, and the 29th is New Year's Eve.

Then stay a few more days and come back after the New Year.

Let Ran Qiuye prepare things.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was still crying and howling in the yard. She didn't know what happened to this guy. She had been crying for a whole day and her voice was still not hoarse.

I just don’t know how long this old godly woman will persist. She can’t affect people’s sleep at night.

Fortunately, there are still people in charge of the courtyard, and now it's time for the three uncles to appear.

Silly Zhu and Yi Zhonghai were now in the courtyard. The second uncle looked confused, as if he couldn't figure it out.

However, the third uncle came late and stood aside, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Mrs. Jia Zhang pulled Yi Zhonghai and Silly Zhu and kept saying that they had lost money, pension funds and so on. The two looked at each other in confusion.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, are you sure you lost your money? Or one hundred and thirty-five?"

"Yes, that's one hundred and thirty-five!"

Liu Haizhong expressed disbelief, "Didn't your Qin Huairu say that your family is so poor that they can't take the blame? Where did your family get the money?"

"Me, this is my pension fund!"

"Haha. Pension Benefit? The last time you lost money on the heater, you just said that the pension fund was gone. How long ago did you have one hundred and thirty-five? Who are you lying to!"

Liu Haizhong said, and everyone around him nodded.

In particular, Yan Fugui was the most cooperative, "Our family has lost money due to the heating stove. Your Jia family has suffered the most losses. How do you still owe money to me?"

"And Jia Dongxu is like this. People believe you when you say you have no money, and they still sympathize with you and lend you money."

"Now you say you lost more than a hundred, which is not a small number. Jia Zhang, you are so messy, there is nothing like this!"

After Yan Fugui finished speaking, everyone around him agreed.

Liu Haizhong even suspected that Jia Zhang was blackmailing someone, but he didn't know who he was blackmailing.

"I, I really have more than a hundred. I hid it in a crack in the wall outside, wrapped it in brown paper, and there was a handkerchief inside. Really, really!"

Jia Zhang was so anxious that her eyes almost vomited, but no matter what she said, few people believed her.

"Aunt Jia, stop causing trouble here and go back quickly to help take care of the children."

Silly Zhu couldn't listen anymore and was ready to go home.

If the Jia family was rich, would his sister Xiao Qin still have to borrow money from everywhere to treat her illness?

This old lady just wants to do something good. She probably has her eye on someone and is preparing to become a rich man.

After looking at Yang Xiaotao's house, I snorted in my heart, and then walked home.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jia Zhang felt like crying without tears.

She was afraid of a thief in her family, so she found an inconspicuous place and hid the money there.

I take a look at it every day, but I don’t want it to be gone now.

She had blackmailed people before, but this time it was true.

"Master, everything I said is true, it's true!"

Seeing Jia Zhang's appearance, Yi Zhonghai knew in his heart that the old woman must have hidden a lot of money, but now everyone thinks that the Jia family has no money. Who would believe it if you suddenly say that the family has lost more than a hundred dollars?

Even if they are really found, wouldn't Qin Huairu's previous efforts be completely wasted?

It's better to just pretend that you don't know.

It would also be a good idea to establish the fact that the Jia family is poor.

"Okay, stop making trouble and think about it day by day."

Yi Zhonghai sullenly turned around and went home. Liu Haizhong also snorted, "Ms. Jia Zhang, if you keep messing around and disturbing the workers' rest, let the security department take you away."

After scaring him, he walked towards the backyard and passed by Yang Xiaotao's door, sighing heavily in his heart.

Comparing people to each other is so irritating.
