Scholars in the courtyard

Facing Li Zhixing's change, Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and was very respectful.

"Hello, Director Li! Just call me Xiao Yang or Xiao Tao."

"Haha, okay, Xiao Yang, a hero is born in a boy. He is indeed the newborn sun, so dazzling."

Li Zhixing is indeed the factory director, and he talks in the same way as Yang Youning.

Reaching out to hold it, the other person's hands had a lot of calluses and there was still some dust in the nails. It was obvious that he was often busy working on the front line.

Secretary Li brought a water jar, the three of them sat down, and Yang Youning started talking about business.

Li Zhixing's eyes showed envy when he heard that the steel rolling mill was about to launch a new project. But then he heard that cement pipes were needed to drill water wells. When Yang Xiaotao described it, he immediately became excited.

Anyone who sits in the position of factory director is not a fool, and his political consciousness is definitely not bad.

"Lao Yang, Xiao Yang, Lao Li thank you here."

"That's it. I'll have it started when I get back. When you want to use it, just give me a call and I'll deliver it to you personally."

As he said this, Lao Li stood up to go out without even taking a sip of water.

Yang Youning was still thinking about signing a document or something, and just as he started to shout, Li Zhixing waved his hand, "Just do what you want!"

Turn around and run out.

"Here, bastard Lao Li is plotting against me again."

Yang Xiaotao waited for Li Zhixing to go out and quickly left the office. If he stopped here, he might be nagging again.

After leaving the office, Yang Xiaotao did not go to the first workshop. Anyway, he was given the task drawings, so he just waited.

When I returned to the office, Lou Xiao'e was not there. I don't know why she was there.

Yang Xiaotao returned to his seat, picked up the book, leaned against the window, and read carefully.

Time passed by page by page, and it was time to get off work in a blink of an eye. Yang Xiaotao packed his things and prepared to leave.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e ran back angrily. Yang Xiaotao asked her what was going on, and Lou Xiao'e finally spoke out.

It turns out that Xu Damao is still a thief. Today, when he goes out for a walk and encounters a shameless Xu Damao, he has to say a few words. Naturally, Lou Xiao'e understands Xu Damao's virtue and turns around and leaves.

Unexpectedly, Xu Damao remained stubborn and kept following behind. Fortunately, he bumped into Silly Pillar, and Xu Damao ran away like a mouse after a cat.

But Silly Zhu was not a good person either. He just yelled at Lou Xiao'e and said some shameless words, which made Lou Xiao'e angry.

Yang Xiaotao only comforted him after hearing this. He couldn't beat the two of them for this matter. The relationship would be complicated.

After telling Lou Xiao'e about the recent events in the courtyard, Lou Xiao'e breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Xu Damao had been beaten and that Silly Zhu's partner had become a prostitute.

The two left the office and walked through the Publicity Department. Xu Damao felt pain in the corners of his eyes when he saw the two of them through the window.

"Shameless bitch man and woman."

When Yang Xiaotao returned to the courtyard, Shazhu was standing in the courtyard, with an old deaf lady beside him, and the two were discussing something.

Yang Xiaotao walked straight past, and the deaf old lady's eyes suddenly became sharp, but then they faded away, just like usual.

Yang Xiaotao didn't pay attention, but he felt that the stench in the yard seemed to be heavier today.

Back home, prepare to boil water for cooking.

With Xiaowei here, the stench from outside cannot enter the house, which Yang Xiaotao is satisfied with.

The deaf old lady glanced at Yang Xiaotao who was leaving, and then walked into the house with Silly Zhu.

"Old lady, it seems that I can't find a wife."

Silly Zhu said in a low voice, he now realizes the power of birth.

It is said that rich peasants stink, and they stink even when the wind blows.

But as middle peasants, second only to rich peasants, they are not much better.

It was a bit difficult for him, who was from a middle peasant background, to find a wife.

Moreover, people in the courtyard have begun to distance themselves, for fear of being involved with him and being implicated.

Silly Zhu shed tears like a child in front of the deaf old lady.

The deaf old lady reached out and touched Silly Zhu's head.

"If you don't cry, don't cry. Middle peasants are also farmers. It's not that serious."

"Besides, rich peasants still marry rich peasants. You are just a middle peasant, how can you not find a wife?"

Silly Zhu showed a hint of hope when he heard this, "Old lady, is what you said true?"

"Silly Zhuzi, of course it's true, otherwise who would those young ladies marry?"

"You, just keep your heart in your stomach and don't think too much. Eat when you need to, drink when you need to, and make money well. Just don't have money to support your family when the time comes."

The deaf old lady gave Silly Zhu a reassurance. Seeing that Silly Zhu had stabilized, she sighed in her heart.

Originally, the deaf old lady thought that Sha Zhu's best partner was Lou Xiao'e, the daughter of a capitalist. Now that Sha Zhu was from such a background, no one could blame the other when they were together.

What I didn't expect was that Lou Jingtang would be so decisive, giving up everything just for Lou Xiao'e to have a new identity. This courage is worthy of Lou Bancheng.

But in this case, who should this stupid pillar look for?

The deaf old lady had something on her mind. She always felt that she didn't have much time, so she wanted to find a wife for Silly Zhu as soon as possible while she could still move around, so that she could have a heir.

Thinking of this, the deaf old lady told Silly Zhu what she was thinking.

"Zhuzi, how about Lou Xiao'e at the steel rolling mill?"

Silly Zhu was thinking about the old lady's words when he suddenly heard the question about Lou Xiao'e and immediately shook his head, "That girl is in the same room with Yang Xiaotao. It's amazing. Damn it, I bumped into her now and I gave her a lesson. You turned around and ran away, you didn’t…”

Silly Zhu said, suddenly thought of something and looked at the old lady.

"Old lady, you can't be..."

The deaf old lady nodded, "You stupid Zhuzhu, what's wrong with Lou Xiao'e? She's good-looking and has a good temper, but she can't have children. I don't think Xu Damao is going to die."

"Ouch, ouch, old lady, stop, stop, Lou Xiao'e? She, no, no!"

Silly Zhu shook his head and waved his hands, his face very sure.

"You stupid grandson, you are so angry with me."

After saying that, the deaf old lady left on crutches, went out, looked at Yi Zhonghai's house in the yard, and figured that Yi Zhonghai would have to help in this matter.

Seeing the deaf old lady leave, Silly Zhu shook his head and sat on the bed.

However, the deaf old lady's words still left a mark on his heart.

"Lou Xiao'e?"

Thinking of Lou Xiao'e's appearance, Silly Zhu suddenly felt that Lou Xiao'e seemed to have become more beautiful after entering the steel rolling mill.

"If he marries Lou Xiao'e, then Xu Damao won't be so angry that he will die of anger?"

Silly Zhu felt that he had found the joy of life, but thinking of Lou Xiao'e, he shook his head again, "No, one has been married to someone else, and Xu Damao used it, no, no."

That night, Shazhu slowly fell asleep in the tangle.

As night fell, Qin Huairu cooked a meal at home and looked at the yard, waiting for Yi Zhonghai to come back.

Jia Zhang, who originally had a crooked nose and glared, should have cursed Qin Huairu when she saw her, but now she was sitting on a stool leaning against the wall, her eyes dull and her expression disgusted.

"Huairu, why haven't you come back yet? Dongxu, what should I do?"

Jia Zhang's voice was hoarse, and she looked at the dark night with confusion.

"No, it's so late, maybe something happened."

Qin Huairu said without confidence.

"Huairu, why don't you let Shazhu come over to help and send you to the hospital?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang suggested again that even now, as a mother, she still couldn't bear it.

Qin Huairu just shook her head after hearing this, "Dongxu said I won't go."

"well!"

Jia Zhang sighed, "Damn Xu Damao, he's so pregnant, he put laxatives in the roast duck, you bastard."

Qin Huairu didn't dare to speak after hearing this.

Looking back at Jia Dongxu lying on the bed, Banggeng Xiaodang was also lying on his stomach. The foul smell in the room made people vomit.

She kept half of the roast duck that Bangge brought back last time and ate it slowly.

But after midnight, the family's stomachs kept rumbling.

Especially Jia Zhang, she drank the most broth and almost died in the latrine.

After a day of fighting, he finally managed to save his life, but Jia Dongxu, who was lying in bed, became even weaker due to this incident.

Now that I'm lying on the bed, I feel more air coming out and less air coming in, and I'm about to... die.

Qin Huairu was filled with panic. She was worried about her future life, but also felt relieved that she was about to get rid of this burden.

Her mixed emotions prevented her from hearing Jia Zhang's complaint clearly. At the moment, she just wanted to discuss the funeral with Yi Zhonghai quickly.

However, Qin Huairu waited until everyone around him had finished eating and did not see Yi Zhonghai.

Yang Xiaotao returned home and just after dinner, Zhou Kui and Liu Yuhua came over.

Zhou Kui returned home and heard that Yang Xiaotao was looking for him, so he came over after dinner to see what was going on.

Yang Xiaotao came to Zhou Kui because of the well drilling machine. Now that the weather is getting warmer and the heating furnace business has reached the off-season, Zhou Kui and others have also begun to look for other jobs.

Zhou Kui was naturally happy when he heard Yang Xiaotao say that he had new work to do, and Liu Yuhua on the side even narrowed his eyes with laughter.

Since following Yang Xiaotao, the men in her family have earned more and more money. Although her salary can fully support the family, only when her men can earn money can they speak with confidence.

After Zhou Kui heard what Yang Xiaotao said, he nodded in agreement.

His mother said, listen to your wife and brother Tao. She only has a little strength, so she can just follow behind and work.

After explaining the matter, Liu Yuhua began to talk about what happened in the courtyard today.

It's Jia's house again. After everyone went to work this morning, there was a stench coming from Jia's house.

Everyone was used to it, but this time it went too far. The aunt went in to take a look and found that Jia Zhang had collapsed from diarrhea. The two children were also lying on the bed, pouting their buttocks, even Qin Huairu. His face turned yellow, and his body also turned yellow.

The aunt quickly called for help.

But there is still someone coming?

Nowadays, the Jia family has a plague in this courtyard. Everyone is afraid of being infected again and hides far away.

There was no other way, so the aunt had to do it herself, first helping Qin Huairu clean up, and then cleaning up the children together.

In the afternoon, several people emptied their stomachs before they dared to drink some millet porridge.

After Yang Xiaotao heard about it, he didn't know what the Jia family was doing to commit suicide, but he had no interest in finding out.

Zhou Kui and his wife went home, and Yang Xiaotao sat in front of the window and read books.

At the entrance of the alley, Yi Zhonghai dragged his tired body and walked slowly, sighing in his heart.

Who would have thought that a small cylinder stumped him, and several of them were useless in one day. He finally got one before get off work, but Sun Guo took a look and was still not satisfied.

It will continue tomorrow.

I originally thought that it was almost done, but I didn't expect that Sun Guo was very concerned and watched him all the time, so that even an eighth-level fitter like him couldn't be lazy.

"This Yang Xiaotao really knows how to take care of things."

Yi Zhonghai beat his waist. After this day, his body couldn't bear it.

As I approached the courtyard, I was already feeling extremely hungry, and I was thinking about going home to eat something.

As soon as they passed the hanging flower gate, they saw someone standing at the door of their house. A closer look revealed that it was Qin Huairu and his wife.

"Lao Yi, you are back..."

Auntie hurried forward, and Qin Huairu also came over. As the two of them talked, Yi Zhonghai was stunned for a moment, and then ran straight into Jia's house without even thinking about going home to rest.
