Scholars in the courtyard

At noon, Yang Xiaotao put away his fishing rod, carried the heavy fish bucket, hung it on the handlebar and walked towards the courtyard.

Behind him, Yan Fugui also hung the fish bucket on the handlebar, swinging it as the car moved forward. There were two crucian carps in it, which was considered a good result in the past few days.

Just looking at Yang Xiaotao in front of him, Yan Fugui consciously slowed down and didn't want to get closer.

Outside the courtyard, Sha Zhu came from the alley outside and was stopped by Yi Zhonghai before he entered.

"Zhuzi, what are you tinkering with every day?"

Silly Zhu raised his head and smiled, "Nothing, just walking around and taking a look."

"Zhuzi, if you have something to do, don't hide it from me."

"Speak up and I can help you with your advice."

After hearing this, Silly Zhu originally wanted to speak out, but thinking of the old lady's instructions, he swallowed his words again.

Anyway, we will know later, so it doesn’t matter if we tell you later.

"No, how could I hide something from you? I'm going to cook for the old lady first. You can continue."

Saying this, Silly Zhu ran into the front yard, leaving Yi Zhonghai with his mouth open and sucking in the air-conditioning.

Ring ring ring

There was a car bell ringing behind him. Yi Zhonghai reacted and turned around to see Yang Xiaotao. He slowly got out of the way and Yang Xiaotao drove the car across the steps.

From beginning to end, the two of them didn't speak, and they never even looked at each other.

This kind of tacit understanding means that each other knows that no one will cause trouble.

Watching Yang Xiaotao leave, Yi Zhonghai had mixed feelings in his heart, but he had no regrets as before. Now they are just passers-by.

Ring ring ring

The bell rang again, but it was Yan Fugui who walked up to see Yi Zhonghai in a daze.

"Lao Yan, the harvest this time is not small."

"Haha, Lao Yi, I caught two fish this time, one for each meal. Today's food expenses are paid out."

"Congratulations to you then."

"Haha, you're welcome. Come to my place for a drink today, and this fish will be the meal."

"No, just eat it yourself."

Yi Zhonghai refused. He wanted to go to his house for dinner and had to bring his own dry food and wine. They only had one fish, so he was the one who suffered.

"Okay, I'll go back first."

When Yan Fugui returned home, Yan Jiecheng came over with Yu Li.

"Dad, we are going to the city to play in the afternoon. Let us borrow this bicycle."

Yan Jiecheng said that he was going to catch the bicycle, but Yan Fugui pushed it away and said, "This bicycle, I have to go fishing in the afternoon."

"Look, what is this? A caught fish."

"Can you earn food if you go to play? It's not that far. Riding a bicycle is just to show off. Young people, be more pragmatic. Don't think about the whole thing."

As Yan Fugui said that, he placed the bicycle next to the wall and locked the rear wheel with a lock.

Yan Jiecheng looked at Yu Li helplessly, "Look, let me just say, no."

Yu Li snorted coldly, "I'm not going."

Turning around and running back into the house, Yan Jiecheng hurried up to coax him.

Ring ring ring

Yi Zhonghai frowned, what's going on today? Broken bells are ringing here one by one, right?

Turning around to look, Xu Damao was driving his bicycle with a mean smile on his face. The original slightly cracked seat was replaced with a new one. It really felt like replacing a cannon with a gun in middle-earth.

"Master, you are sunbathing."

Xu Damao said proudly, and there was a bag of walnuts and jujubes hanging on the handlebar, which was what he got from going to the countryside to watch a movie yesterday.

Of course, the most important thing here is to rekindle the old relationship with the little widow in the village and let out the anger that has been suppressed for so long.

But thinking about the tickets in my pocket, without Lou Xiao'e's support, the projectionist's salary alone would not be able to support this excitement.

Why don't we take advantage of the movie to buy some souvenirs from the countryside and wait to go to Pigeon Market to exchange some things.

"Xu Damao, are you going down to collect local specialties again?"

Yi Zhonghai said angrily, and Xu Damao was not angry either, "Isn't this the care of farmer brothers?"

"Sir, I'm going to return the projector today. I heard from the Publicity Department that Yang Xiaotao has become famous in Quancheng this time. Not only has the machine been repaired, but the equipment has also been improved. People from the automobile factory have called to praise him."

"The factory is preparing for a good publicity."

Xu Damao said with a smile on his face. He didn't mean to praise Yang Xiaotao. He just used Yang Xiaotao to disgust Yi Zhonghai.

"That's what he can do."

"Otherwise, there would be no R\u0026D team."

Yi Zhonghai said something and went to the middle courtyard.

Behind him, Xu Damao's face immediately turned cold. The R\u0026D team was alone in a room with a man and a woman.

"Damn it!"

Xu Damao secretly hated Lou Xiao'e for being ignorant and getting involved with Yang Xiaotao despite knowing that he and Yang Xiaotao didn't deal with each other. Could it be that Yang Xiaotao would abandon his wife and children and get involved with a broken shoe like you?

What a confused bitch.

Xu Damao mentally scolded Lou Xiao'e and hoped that Lou Xiao'e would reconcile with him.

Especially now, when I meet Lou Xiao'e in the steel rolling mill, I always feel a sense of surprise and excitement. She wears work clothes and looks capable, which is completely different from how she used to look at home.

This gave him a strong sense of conquest.

Unfortunately, so far, he still has not been able to conquer it.

When it comes to this guy Yang Xiaotao, huh.

"You two bitches, don't let me catch you. If I catch you, I will parade you two through the streets."

Carrying the car, Xu Damao walked into the front yard. When he passed by the middle yard, he saw Yang Xiaotao collecting fish, and he felt cold again.

During lunch, Yang Xiaotao specially cooked braised carp and stewed crucian carp. He used enough oil and water to fill the whole yard with the aroma of fish.

"Drink more of this fish soup."

Yang Xiaotao scooped up a bowl of fish soup and brought it to Ran Qiuye, and then passed the rice over.

Ran Qiuye's morning sickness has improved a lot recently, and she can eat better. Her appetite has increased, but her weight has not changed much.

Yang Xiaotao attributed this to Xiaowei.

Ran Qiuye nodded and took a sip of the fish soup. He felt it was delicious and drank the soup directly from the bowl.

He ate the browned fish again, accompanied by rice, with a satisfied smile in his mouth.

Compared to Ran Qiuye's slightly more elegant way of eating, Yang Xiaotao poured the braised fish pond directly on the rice and turned on the rice-stewing mode. One bowl of rice could not last more than a minute, and then another bowl.

Jia family.

Banggeng was arguing about eating fish again. He ran home from outside and asked about the smell of fish in the third uncle's house in the front yard. He heard from Yan Jiekuang that their family had fish for lunch today and the fish soup was delicious when soaked in steamed buns. .

The fish in the yard now smells better than the one at Third Master's house. How can he eat it while guarding a table full of steamed buns?

Jia Zhang heard Bangge's distress and threw the nest away with both hands, "If you want to eat fish, you can go by yourself."

"I won't go, let my mother go."

Banggan shouted out without thinking, and then looked at Qin Huairu, "Mom, they all say you are great and can be exchanged for food. Go to Yang Xiaotao's house to exchange for some. I want to eat fish too."

Qin Huairu's face immediately turned cold. What would he get in exchange for food? What would a pregnant woman do in exchange for her?

"Bangge, who taught you to say that?"

"Me. I heard it outside."

"Who is it? Please speak clearly."

Jia Zhang also asked with a cold face, "If this is true, huh."

He looked at Qin Huairu coldly.

Bangge sat on the stool obediently, "I, I heard what Xu Damao said."

"He also said that Mom used to trade lunch boxes with Si Zhu, but now that Si Zhu has no lunch box, she wants to trade with someone else."

"Mom, why don't you go and change with Yang Xiaotao."

The glutton in Banggan's stomach was aroused by the aroma, and he didn't care about the conflict between Yang Xiaotao and his family, let alone Jia Zhang's angry and twisted face. Anyway, in his impression, Yang Xiaotao's family had too many delicious foods. , more than the Shazhu family.

If his mother changed with Yang Xiaotao, he could go to Yang Xiaotao's house to eat that food.

No need to be afraid of that bad dog.

Snapped

Bangge was still dreaming about the good days in the future when he was slapped in the ear.

There was a crisp sound, followed by a burst of pain. Looking at the angry Qin Huairu, Bangge started crying.

"BangGeng, if you dare to talk nonsense again, don't come in this door again."

Ignoring Bangge's cry, Qin Huairu said with a cold face and without any emotion.

It doesn't matter what others say about her.

But Bangdi can’t.

Mrs. Jia Zhang originally wanted to say something to Qin Huairu, but seeing her like this, she didn't dare to say anything.

What's more, Bangge did this wrong.

Anyone can cheat on Qin Huairu, but not his son Bangge.

"I, I know."

Bangge didn't dare to cry anymore, so he could only speak aggrievedly.

In my heart, I don’t feel wrong.

Why can it be replaced with Silly Zhu, but not with Yang Xiaotao?

Silly Zhu doesn’t have his lunch box anymore, wouldn’t it be right to replace him with someone else?

Didn’t grandma say this before?

"Qin Huairu, don't be so cold-faced. You already know your mistake. Hurry up and eat."

Mrs. Jia Zhang wiped Banggeng's face, and Banggeng pushed him away, lowering his head to nibble on the bun head.

When Qin Huairu saw it, she came to Jia Dongxu with a bowl of paste.

At this moment, Jia Dongxu's eyes were squinted and his mouth was dry, as if no matter how much water he drank, it was useless. He looked at Qin Huairu and reached out to touch Qin Huairu's face.

Qin Huairu sighed and held Jia Dongxu's hand.

"Huairu, I'm sorry for you."

As if looking away, Jia Dongxu said something he had never said in his life, and Qin Huairu burst into tears in an instant.

"Dongxu~"

"Huairu, I, I'm sorry for you."

The voice was intermittent, as if it were unconscious murmuring, repeated without interruption.

When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard her son's voice, she couldn't help but shed tears. She knew that her son's time was running out.

"Dongxu, I will take you to the hospital."

"Just wait. After eating, let's go to the hospital."

Qin Huairu clenched her skinny hand and put it against her face, her eyes red from crying.

Jia Dongxu shook his head, tears streaming down his face, his vision blurred and tears streaming down his face, while he ate heavily.

Woohoo~~

Qin Huairu lay beside the bed, crying in pain.

In the yard, Silhu was returning from the deaf old lady. Hearing Qin Huairu's cry, he shook his head silently.

The days of the Jia family are either spent crying or on the way to crying.

After lunch, Yang Xiaotao took Ran Qiuye back to school.

Now there are more classes and more courses.

Although two substitute teachers were added, it was still not enough.

Ran Qiuye's classes are scheduled every day from Monday to Friday, so she only spends weekends in the courtyard.

Yang Xiaotao didn't trust Ran Qiuye to ride the bike by himself, so he could only pick him up and drop him off.

I even planned not to come back after a few days when it gets warmer, to avoid bumpy roads and hurt my body.

In the afternoon, he sent Ran Qiuye back to Yangjiazhuang, leaving Wangcai behind, and Yang Xiaotao rode back to the courtyard.

The next day, go to work as usual.

On the road, they met Wang Fa and others, and Yang Xiaotao drove the car and walked together. When they talked about going to Quancheng, they were shocked by the boldness of Quancheng people drinking, and envied Yang Xiaotao for being able to take the train and go out for a look.

They also want to go out and see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, but their current life makes them unable to let go of the burden on their shoulders.

When I arrived at the office, I met Lou Xiaoe at the door.

"Gong Yang, are you back?"

Lou Xiao'e said with a face of joy. During the past few days when Yang Xiaotao was away on business, she stayed in the office alone and found something to do for herself. But when she had nothing to do, she sat on the stool in a daze.

How she wished there was someone at the table on the left.

"Come back on Saturday."

Yang Xiaotao said with a smile, as for the gift back, sorry, he really didn't expect this.

Lou Xiao'e didn't pay attention, but asked about things in Quancheng. Yang Xiaotao picked up what he knew and said that as for going out to play, he didn't even go out of the gate except for going back and forth in Quancheng.

The two talked for a while, and Yang Xiaotao heard the door open next door and got up to go out.

Bang Bang

After knocking on the door twice, Yang Youning's voice came from inside. Yang Xiaotao opened the door and walked in.
