Scholars in the courtyard

The next day, Yang Xiaotao was woken up by the alarm clock, cleaned up, and went out on his bike after breakfast.

But when I walked to the Weeping Flower Gate, there were more coughing sounds around me.

Yang Xiaotao frowned. This winter is the season where colds are common. If you don't pay attention to keeping warm, something could easily happen.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but worry about Ran Qiuye.

Pregnant women taking medicine may affect fetal development, so it is best not to catch a cold.

He lowered his head and quickly left the courtyard and headed to the steel rolling mill.

Ahem

In the courtyard, the coughing kept ringing out. As the night passed, it not only did not stop but became more severe.

Qin Huairu felt dizzy when she woke up in the morning. The stench came from the bed and she didn't have the energy to pay attention to it.

Jia Dongxu's consciousness was blurred, and he heard humming and ouching sounds from time to time.

"Awesome?"

Qin Huairu shook the stick but there was no response. She tried it on her forehead again and it was hotter than hers.

"Banggeng, wake up? Banggeng?"

"Xiao Dang, Xiao Dang."

Qin Huairu realized something was wrong and quickly called to Jia Zhang, "Mom, get up quickly, something happened to Banggeng Xiaodang."

"mom!!"

But there was no movement at all on the other side. Qin Huairu stood up holding the wall, coughing and making her chest hurt.

Looking up, he saw Mr. Jia Zhang lying on the bed with her head in her hands, not responding no matter how she shouted.

"Mom? What's wrong with you?"

"Ouch, my forehead hurts, cough cough"

Jia Zhang's weak voice came, and Qin Huairu realized that something was wrong, walked to the door with difficulty, opened the door, "Zhuzhu, sir, help, help."

Everyone in the courtyard who heard this was very excited.

The Jia family shouted for help again.

Every time someone calls for help, the people in this courtyard will suffer.

During the Chinese New Year, you can’t stop.

What a bastard.

People in the courtyard watched from a distance, and many people subconsciously returned to the house, preparing to close their wallets, saying that they could not take any more money this time.

Silly Zhu was about to go out to work, but it turned out to be a payday. I thought to myself, I took the money to buy a little hen and cooked a big meal tomorrow to get good luck.

Just when he went out, he heard Qin Huairu's cry. When he looked up, Qin Huairu was holding on to the door frame, his face was haggard, and he was shouting for help from time to time.

Seeing that Silhu had other thoughts, he immediately rushed to the door of Jia's house.

"Huairu, what's going on?"

Ahem

Qin Huairu coughed for a while, and her chest almost exploded. She stretched out her hand and patted it continuously. The majestic mountains made Silly Zhu stare straight at it.

Cough cough cough

"Why is it so hot?"

Shazhu came back to his senses, tried his hand, and immediately screamed.

"Zhuzhu, the boss in the house...go and call someone quickly."

Cough cough cough

Silly Zhu endured the stench and looked into the room. The whole family was lying on the kang. At this time, there was no reaction at all. He immediately knew what was going on.

"Someone, come quickly. Why are you still standing there? Come here quickly."

Silly Zhu yelled, and when he saw that no one around him came forward, he cursed angrily.

Finally two people couldn't help but stepped forward to help.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai heard the sound and ran over. Looking at Bangge and Xiaodang who were carried out, his expression changed as soon as he stretched out his hand, "Quickly, send them to the hospital."

"hurry up."

The two looked at each other, and one of them said clearly first, "Master, we have no money."

Yi Zhonghai took a deep breath and took out a dollar from his arms, "You guys go and look at it first. If it's not enough, I'll give it out."

The two of them took the money and had no worries. This time, they ran to the hospital with their children in their arms.

Yan Fugui led Yan Jiecheng over in the front yard. Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year. I got up early this morning to buy some red paper, pen and ink to prepare for tomorrow's big event.

When I heard the noise in the middle courtyard, I quickly came over to take a look.

"Lao Yan came just in time. He quickly helped to send the person to the hospital."

"I'm still in a hurry to go to work, so I'll take care of you."

Yi Zhonghai pointed to Jia's house and said he was about to go out. He was going to pay his wages today, so he couldn't be late.

In the backyard, Liu Haizhong walked over from a distance and took a look at the Jia family's business. He didn't go forward and went out directly.

Yan Fugui fanned his nose, showing impatience.

"Xie Cheng, go and have a look."

Yan Jiecheng was also reluctant, but had no choice.

Finally, Yan Jiecheng called brother Liu Guangtian and a few men in the courtyard who were not working to help.

Silly Zhu didn't think much, and moved Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang to the hospital together with a few people, and then he calmed down.

In the morning, people in the courtyard were preparing for the New Year, cleaning the door and decorating with lanterns.

Then I saw people from the subdistrict office wearing masks and carrying spray cans, led by Officer Xiao Li.

Yan Fugui had sharp eyes and quickly asked what was going on.

The leader, Officer Li, wore a mask and said, "Yan Fugui, how can you be the boss? If there is an infectious disease in the courtyard, you don't care about it?"

"infectious disease?"

Yan Fugui was so nervous that he almost dropped the basket in his hand.

"Hmph, if the hospital hadn't notified you earlier, your entire compound would have become a source of pollution."

"Ah, what, what's going on?"

"What's going on? Humph. You don't know what's going on in this courtyard, so why are you asking me?"

"Yan Fugui, if you are so irresponsible, you probably don't want to do this anymore."

After Li finished explaining the matter, he sent people to disinfect the yard.

Yan Fugui, who stretched out his hand, was immediately dumbfounded.

"No, no, we didn't expect it to be like this."

"They are all from the same hospital. Although there is some smell, we can't drive them out."

"I don't listen to this. After the director heard about this, don't even think about whether you will be advanced this year, no, next year." Secretary Li said, and Yan Fugui felt dizzy. The three uncles who came to the advanced compound were none of them. I have a bad heart and have failed for several years in a row. This year, because of the Jia family's affairs, the heating stove has become the laughing stock of everyone. Of course, there is no chance of advancement.

But you have to look forward to next year.

It's fine now. It's because of the Jia family again. It's over before it even starts.

Really, I am so angry.

Seeing Director Li directing people to enter the courtyard, Yan Fugui touched his heart and finally said one sentence after a long time, "The Jia family is a disaster."

"Comrade workers of the steel rolling mill, please pay attention, there is a piece of good news broadcast below."

A sweet voice sounded from the loudspeaker of the steel rolling mill, causing the workers who were queuing up to receive their wages to stop and listen carefully.

Yang Xiaotao, Wang Fa and others were all calculating how much money they could get this time.

They often install heating furnaces, and even those who go out for maintenance will be recorded and become part of the factory's welfare.

Li Nan acted quickly in the front. After receiving his salary, he jumped up on the spot and ran up to them with a big round face. "Brother Tao, guess how much you got paid?"

Seeing Li Nan's excitement, many people around him were curious.

But Wang Fa, Li Wei and others didn't give him face at all. They might not earn less than him, so why did they ask?

In the end, Yang Xiaotao gave me some advice, "It looks like I've made a lot of money."

Li Nan chuckled and made an eight sign.

He is now a fourth-level fitter and earns 48 yuan and 50 cents a month. As soon as he made the eight sign, there was a gasp of air around him.

Especially those from other workshops, their eyes became red after hearing about it.

Two months' salary is paid in one month, why can't they deal with this?

"Okay, hurry up and help in the workshop. There will be a meeting later."

Wang Fa told Li Nan not to make people jealous here. If he continued, the eyes of the people around him would be devouring him.

Li Nan nodded quickly and ran outside.

Yang Xiaotao and others laughed, and then heard the voice on the radio.

"Under the shining of the red star, under the guidance of the revolutionary martyrs, and under the leadership of our factory leaders, Comrade Yang Xiaotao, an outstanding worker of our factory, was not afraid of hardships, carried forward the spirit of hard work and tenacity, and successfully developed the 'Benefiting Farmers Pressure Well', which became Another important contribution of our factory”

“Our factory receives cordial care from superior leaders”

"I hope that our comrade workers will be brave enough to forge ahead"

The sound of the radio rang up and down the steel rolling mill, and more and more people were involved in the discussion.

"Xiao Tao, you are in the limelight this time."

Wang Fa lamented, who would have thought that the young man who had just joined the factory five years ago would have such an encounter, and as people close to Yang Xiaotao, they had witnessed Yang Xiaotao's rise all the way.

It is precisely because I have witnessed it with my own eyes that there is no so-called jealousy.

Yang Xiaotao is what he is today, and it was all done step by step.

Whether it is an eighth-level fitter or a ninth-level engineer, whether it is high-yielding corn or a blazing heater, including the current Huinong water well, everyone sees the glory of achievements, but who has seen Yang Xiaotao study hard? , working day and night, spending all your rest time reading books?

A few of them had seen it, so they only had admiration in their hearts.

"What's wrong with being in the limelight? We, Xiao Tao, didn't rob or steal." Che Wenwei said loudly, "Besides, if it sounds nice, isn't it because we, Xiao Tao, are taking advantage of it? What can they say?"

"Yes, that's right. If you ask me, this pressure well should be given to our third workshop, and let the eighth workshop take advantage of it."

Xing Jiaqi said angrily on the sidelines. Although the people in the eighth workshop and the third workshop did not show it, they definitely felt uncomfortable in their hearts.

Even Wang Guodong caught Huang Degong and ate for two days.

"Okay, don't cause trouble for Xiao Tao." Wang Fa stopped the conversation between several people, "Hurry up and get the money."

Yang Xiaotao smiled. He knew these things well. Since he was in this steel rolling mill, he couldn't do without the worldly feelings.

What's more, with the platform of a steel rolling mill, some things are easier to do.

Otherwise, if you, a useless person, create these things, no one will pay attention to it, and you might be regarded as an 'enemy agent'.

With the big tree of the steel rolling mill at his back, Yang Xiaotao not only has access to resources to do what he wants to do, but he can also avoid open and covert attacks.

The next ten years will be an unreasonable decade.

At least now it seems that he is safe with Secretary Liu and Factory Director Yang supporting him.

Therefore, he is very happy to see this achievement become the achievement of the steel rolling mill.

Several people lined up, and soon Yang Xiaotao came close.

The accountant who paid wages smiled when he saw it was Yang Xiaotao and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Yang."

"Same joy, same joy."

Yang Xiaotao was polite.

"Gong Yang, your salary for this month, plus subsidy, and heating stove."

"The total salary is 325 yuan and 40 cents."

"Also, here are your notes and industrial coupons."

As he spoke, another stack of bills and industrial coupons were handed over.

Yang Xiaotao held it in his hand, put the bill in his pocket, and then looked at the industrial coupon.

This pile is obviously less than a salary, but it is indispensable for purchasing items.

Since last year, wages in their steel rolling mill have been gradually replaced by industrial coupons such as food stamps and cloth coupons. These are distributed in proportion to each person's salary. Basically, one is issued for about ten yuan, and any insufficient amount will be reissued. Until next month.

Yang Xiaotao counted fifteen industrial coupons, plus the three industrial coupons issued to each household in Sijiu City every month, which was the most in this courtyard.

As for industrial coupons, they are also widely used and are basically needed for purchasing daily necessities.

Take Yang Xiaotao's bicycle. It used to require a bicycle ticket, but now it not only requires a bicycle ticket, but also an industrial coupon. Adding money to it, the difficulty has not been reduced, but has increased.

Of course, as the famine years pass and industry develops, bicycle tickets may gradually be replaced by industrial vouchers, and bicycles will become the main means of travel for people.

Yang Xiaotao left in the envious eyes of the people around him, and there was constant discussion behind him.

"This month, there are more than the factory director!"

There’s another chapter today!
