Scholars in the courtyard

Yang Youning was stunned, and so were the others.

Is it okay to use power for personal gain so openly?

Yang Xiaotao, you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are starting to have evil thoughts?

Several people stared at Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao said seriously, "Director, as the designer and manufacturer of the machine, I have the obligation to take on this task."

"And if we do an experiment in the courtyard and it succeeds, it means that we can also drill wells in the Fourth and Nine Cities. It will have a very good publicity effect. There will definitely be more people asking to drill wells in the future."

Yang Xiaotao talked nonsense in a serious manner.

Yang Youning hugged his arms and looked like he was watching the show. He didn't care where he went for the experiment. Since Yang Xiaotao wanted to go home, then just go.

When Liu Huaimin arrived, he rolled his eyes and said, "I believe you."

"I don't know what your kid is thinking? It's all nonsense."

As Liu Huaimin spoke, Yang Xiaotao still smiled bitterly. He had already planned to dig a well in the yard, and he just took this opportunity to do it.

"I think you can give it a try."

Xu Yuanshan, who had just returned from the phone call, said with a calm face and a steady heart.

He just didn't dare to look at Liu Huaimin.

Sun Guo on the side also quickly expressed his position, "Yes, Yang Gong is right."

Liu Huaimin stared, and Sun Guo immediately stopped.

On the other hand, Chen Gong also nodded, "Taking it from the people and using it for the people, what Xiao Yang said makes sense."

Yang Youning looked at a few people, suddenly laughed, and said to Liu Huaimin, who was still surprised, "Old Liu, what do you think? Let the minority obey the majority."

"You, you guys, have extremely dangerous thoughts."

"This happened once, it won't happen again."

A few people laughed, but there was no objection.

This matter is settled like this, let's go to the Siheyuan to try it out.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Yang Xiaotao went to the third workshop.

Orders for heating stoves have not dropped due to demand from the border areas, so there were many people working on them on Saturday.

Yang Xiaotao found Zhou Peng who was busy, told him what was going on, and asked him to go to the courtyard to call Zhou Kui. After thinking about it, he told Zhou Peng that if Wang Jun from Wang Dashan was at home, he would also call him.

In addition, he took another ten yuan and asked Liu Yuhua to buy some food and drinks. He had to take care of lunch.

Especially when several leaders are here, you can't lose etiquette.

Thinking that I would be busy, I probably wouldn't have time to cook.

Zhou Peng didn't ask any questions. He got on Yang Xiaotao's bicycle and ran towards the courtyard with a look of joy on his face.

In the courtyard house, there was a constant sound of suona at the entrance to the front yard. There were many people watching the excitement, but few actually entered.

Not long after, Zhou Peng rode to the courtyard, found Zhou Kui and Wang Jun, and told Yang Xiaotao to let them go to the steel rolling mill.

Zhou Kui didn't say anything, so Liu Yuhua asked him to go quickly, while he went out to buy groceries with Wang Dashan's family.

As for Wang Jun, Wang Dashan even warned him to follow Zhou Kui and Yang Xiaotao.

Wang Jun had installed heating furnaces before and made a lot of money. Of course he knew what to do.

The two of them followed Zhou Peng to the steel rolling mill.

Zhou Kui and his two men came to the steel rolling. Yang Xiaotao greeted the security department in advance, and the three of them went straight to the first workshop.

At this time, Xu Yuanshan contacted the farm and a mule had been sent.

From the news he heard from Yang Shitou, Yang Xiaotao concluded that this should be a donkey mule, which is the result of the union of a male horse and a female donkey. This kind of donkey mule has a docile temperament, strong endurance, and an average appetite. It is a farmer. Particularly fond of livestock.

Along with the donkeys and mules, there was a ground train that the logistics staff found. There were many of these in the steel rolling mill.

The supporting parts have also been prepared and are currently being packed away.

After Zhou Kui and the others arrived, Yang Xiaotao introduced them to everyone.

When he saw the director and secretary of the steel rolling mill, both of them were very restrained. Yang Xiaotao didn't say much, but just asked them to put the mules on the cart and carry the things.

Xu Yuanshan had an impression of Zhou Kui and introduced him to Yang Youning.

Several people knew that Zhou Kui was responsible for the installation of the heating furnace and was considered a non-staff member of the steel rolling mill, so they nodded when they saw the big man.

Zhou Kui came to the mule and comforted the mule's head, feeling very happy.

He had long wanted to raise a donkey or mule, but he had no place to raise one, no money to buy one, and no qualifications to buy one.

Right now, there was a mule in front of him for him to use. He didn't care whether he was the director of the factory or not. He went inside and waited on it carefully.

Such a beast can form a close relationship if cared for with care.

The ground train was successfully hitched here. Wang Jun held the bridle at the side while Zhou Kui and others went to move the steam engine.

The steam engine carried by three people was carefully placed on the ground cart by Zhou Kui alone, which really shocked the people at the scene.

Then came the steel pipe components, which were installed one by one.

Afterwards, Zhou Kui and the two drove to the courtyard.

Yang Xiaotao followed Zhou Kui in a car.

Yang Youning and others went back to the office, and they took a car to the courtyard in a while.

Outside the alley, Yan Jiecheng was riding a bicycle with a tired look on his face. Behind him, Jia Zhang's face was equally sleepy. When they came to the door, Jia Zhang jumped out of the car and walked straight to the middle courtyard.

Yan Jiecheng moved his hands and feet, mentally cursing Mr. Jia Zhang for eating so much when he had nothing to do. He was so heavy that he died.

If it weren't for the five dollars, he wouldn't bother to go.

Mrs. Jia Zhang ran into the middle courtyard. A group of people were standing in the courtyard, all here to return the favor. Qin Huairu was talking to Sha Zhu about lunch at the door. On the other side, the three uncles were performing their duties. There were sticklers in the room. Xiaodang was wearing sackcloth and mourning, kneeling on both sides.

When Jia Zhang came in, Yi Zhonghai ran up to ask about the situation.

"How's it going?"

"Of course it is. Once I leave, who of this generation here dares to say no?"

After finishing speaking, Jia Zhang held her chest and said with unique pride on her face.

After Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai heard this, they didn't care what Jia Zhang did. Anyway, they had a place where Jia Dongxu was buried, so they were on business.

"Has the place been chosen?"

Yi Zhonghai asked again.

"The choice has been made. I found Dongxu's uncle, and the place he led the villagers to was next to Lao Jia. I gave them the money and things, and now I have started working with them."

"Some helpers will come from the village later and they will help carry the coffin back."

"Let's ride fast and get back first."

Jia Zhang said, picked up the jar and filled it with water.

Qin Huairu felt relieved at the side, there was finally good news this time.

"OK OK."

"Everyone, get busy. We need to do a good job today. The second uncle will arrange the manpower. The third uncle will keep track of the accounts. Zhuzi will open fire as soon as possible."

Yi Zhonghai quickly called people to get ready, and finally he was able to send the coffin out. It would be unlucky to stay in this courtyard any longer.

After a long time, someone will definitely nag you.

When Yan Jiecheng returned home, Yu Li stepped forward to help, and then asked how it was going.

Yan Jiecheng talked about Jia Zhang's embarrassment with a smile on his face. After hearing this, the third aunt also came to inquire.

"You don't know, when we got there, no one even opened the door for her. We knocked on two houses and no one opened the door. So Jia Zhang ran to the village chief's house and cried. While crying, she called Lao Jia and so on. That scene..."

The three of them laughed as they spoke.

"You deserve it. This old woman is not a good person. She must have tasted the bitter pill now."

The third aunt said bitterly, while Yu Li nodded.

People in a village are like this, relying on money and things in exchange for help. The Jia family has failed too much as a person.

Yan Jiecheng agreed in his heart, "Let me just say, you must have a conscience. You see, when Yang Xiaotao gets old, he will suffer."

If he had to say that he was the most jealous in this courtyard, it would definitely be Yang Xiaotao.

He is capable, has good food, good housing, a wife, and will have a child soon. If he is not jealous, who would he be jealous of?

Yu Li rolled her eyes after hearing this.

"Yang Xiaotao doesn't know how to be a good person? Go and have a look. Do you think more people in the courtyard listen to him or you now?"

Yan Jiecheng was speechless immediately.

The three ladies in the front yard were talking, but there was a lot of busyness in the middle yard.

After a while, Liu Yuhua came back with Aunt Wang, carrying vegetables, a piece of pork, and two bottles of wine.

As for other things, Yang Xiaotao didn't buy any fish before he finished eating them.

I didn’t buy any eggs or duck eggs, I have them all at home.

The two bought so many things, and many people asked what was going on. The two just said that relatives came to visit and didn't say much.

Not long after, people from Jiajia Village came to the courtyard.

It was still led by the two young men from yesterday, and seven or eight people followed behind. They looked honest and courteous, which was in sharp contrast to the people in the compound.

Even so, Yi Zhonghai and others did not dare to underestimate him.

Silly Zhu was even watched by his aunt, which prevented another conflict.

If these people are taken away again, who will carry the coffin?

Qin Huairu introduced Banggeng to a few people. From then on, Banggeng would return to the village to pay his respects during festivals. During this period, Banggeng would have to be cared for by others.

According to the procedure, the coffin must be buried before everyone can start the feast.

But it would take a normal person two or three hours to walk back to existence from the Forty-Nine City. Carrying the coffin all the way back would not be able to touch the ground, so it would not be fast on the road.

So everyone doesn't care about this matter anymore and just do whatever is appropriate and whatever is simple and appropriate.

So everyone prepared to eat first and then carry the tomb after eating.

Qin Huairu will lead the child to follow him all the way.

Silly Zhu was guarding the stove, but this time he showed off his true skills, wanting to show off in front of these country bumpkins and let them know what he was capable of.

At the door, the third uncle looked at the accounts recorded in the book and mentally calculated how much money the Jia family could collect this time.

Although it was only eight cents, and the most given now was two dollars from Qin Huairu's family, this money was basically a favor, and it was earned in vain.

Besides, Yi Zhonghai and Silly Zhu didn’t get any money.

These two people would not give it openly. Yi Zhonghai is the elder and there is no reason to give money to Jia Dongxu.

Silly Zhu can do it, but based on his observation, this guy has an impure mind, and he will probably give it secretly even if he gives it.

snap

Yan Fugui closed the ledger, already thinking.

Seeing that the entrance to the front yard was empty, the trumpet players had all gone in to eat, and thinking that no one would come again, I got up and went to the middle yard.

Last night, Yi Zhonghai was very generous and gave Shazhu five yuan to buy fish and meat. Their family had been looking forward to this meal for a long time.

As soon as he moved away, he heard the sound of bells coming from the alley.

Looking back, I saw Xu Damao driving back proudly.

When he came closer, he shouted, "Third uncle, what is going on in this courtyard? Is it so lively?"

Yan Fugui knew that Xu Damao had gone to the countryside to play movies early, but he didn't know the news about Jia Dongxu's disappearance.

Now he started to say, "Da Mao, you don't know, the day before yesterday, Jia Dongxu didn't make it through, so he just left."

Xu Damao was stunned, "You said that short-lived ghost Jia Dongxu is dead?"

"You don't know how to speak. You're only in your third year. Watch out for you."

Xu Damao consciously made a mistake. He looked around and saw that there was no one around him, and then he carefully confirmed, "Is Jia Dongxu dead?"

"Um!"

"Qin Huairu is a widow?"

"Um!"

"Hahaha"

Xu Damao laughed a little sinisterly.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to the courtyard."

Yan Fugui touched his belly and found it was the biggest in the world. He said he was about to enter the house.
