Scholars in the courtyard

In the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu was lying on the bed, teasing the little Sophora japonica.

This name is soothing to listen to, just like the locust tree in the courtyard, which blooms every year and is auspicious every year.

"Huai Ru, why doesn't this silly Zhu come back?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang watched from the door. Although Shazhu still didn't want to see her, the leftover soup from Qin Huairu was enough for her to have a taste.

As for Bangge and Xiaodang, these two heartless people went to Shazhu's house to eat delicious food and didn't know how to bring some back, which was a waste of pain.

"Who knows, maybe I was delayed by work."

Qin Huairu fell asleep while lining up the locust flowers, and her stomach growled. The delivery from Silly Zhu was a bit late today.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Mrs. Jia Zhang standing up and trotting quickly to the Chuihua Gate.

Then Qin Huairu heard Jia Zhang's voice.

"Silly Zhu, why are you back so late? Where is the lunch box?"

"None of your business."

Silly Zhu replied coldly and continued walking home.

A smile appeared on Qin Huairu's lips, she liked Silly Zhu's quarrel with Jia Zhang.

The more fierce the fight, the more frightened Jia Zhang was.

The more confident you will be when the time comes.

Sure enough, Mrs. Jia Zhang walked home in despair, her face no longer arrogant.

Obviously, there was nothing she could do if Silly Zhu didn't give her a lunch box.

When she got home, Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't cook, she just sat and stared at the door coldly.

Qin Huairu looked at the Sophora japonica and fell asleep quietly.

After a while, Qin Huairu woke up due to hunger. She looked outside and saw that it was already dark. She also saw that Mrs. Jia Zhang was still in a daze. She couldn't help but wonder, why didn't anyone come to see her today?

Beside her, Mrs. Jia Zhang was cursing. Her voice was not loud, but she could be heard clearly.

After just listening for a while, Qin Huairu's face became distorted.

Yang Xiaotao, Yang Xiaotao again!

Why is this guy so lucky?

The more money he makes, the better his life gets. Now he is the leader of a steel rolling mill.

Section chief, you have status, status, and more money.

How could this bastard do this?

I can't make enough money at home.

But seeing other people making more money is even more uncomfortable than their family not making any money.

Jealousy.

Qin Huairu only felt the pain in the gap under her stomach, and she felt uncomfortable with anger.

He looked out the window, which was the direction of Silly Pillar.

"What, the meal hasn't been delivered yet?"

Silly Zhu was lying at home feeling uncomfortable. After hearing that Yang Xiaotao became the section chief, he felt that the world was too nonsense, as if it was against him. The more people he didn't deal with, the better off he would be. .

I feel depressed, so what else can I cook?

Yi Zhonghai walked to the yard, and his aunt came up to ask about the situation. Why did Silly Zhu change his appearance? He looked glum, and looked like a fishy face to everyone he met.

Yi Zhonghai sighed and then told what happened in the steel rolling mill.

The aunt covered her mouth and couldn't believe it. A 24-year-old young man actually became the section chief?

Is it possible that this steel rolling mill is deserted?

The next step is to think about the future situation of this courtyard, and my mind is in chaos.

"What should we do with Jia's family?"

The eldest mother still thought of business.

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand, "I won't starve to death if I don't eat."

The two of them were cooking in the house, and Yi Zhonghai continued to sigh.

"This Yang Xiaotao is really mistaken."

…

When Liu Yuhua returned home, she saw Zhou Kui chopping vegetables and preparing to cook.

"When did you come back?"

"Next, afternoon."

Zhou Kui chuckled, his face darkened, and there was still some dust on his body, but he was in good spirits.

"You go and wash up, I'll do it."

He took the kitchen knife and chopped vegetables skillfully.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that Brother Tao has been promoted and became a section chief. He can make 175."

Zhou Kui had a smile on his face after hearing this, "Tomorrow, please have dinner!"

Liu Yuhua smiled and nodded. If Yang Xiaotao hadn't come back, she would have invited him tonight.

In the backyard, Liu Haizhong was eating scrambled eggs, and his two sons stood beside him.

This time, Liu Haizhong didn't make a move and was even a little depressed.

If he cares about political affairs and is full of ideas about being an official, why not give him a chance?

All day long in this courtyard, a dragon swims in the shallow water and is teased by a shrimp, and a tiger falls down and is bullied by a dog!

well!

When can I come forward?

Yang Xiaotao sat at Director Wang's house for a while and talked about the recent situation.

Director Wang was surprised when he heard about it, but thinking about what Yang Xiaotao had done, he was not so surprised.

However, Yang Xiaotao was still reminded.

Being a leader is different from being a worker. A bowl of water must be kept in order.

You must lead by example, be fair in dealing with things, and...

Director Wang told Yang Xiaotao his experience as a leader.

Yang Xiaotao keeps these in mind and ponders them carefully!

After all, in his two lifetimes, he had been the top administrator, that is, a primary school sports committee member.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao got up to say goodbye and then rode home.

When we returned to the courtyard, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

There was no Xiaowei in the yard this time, and there was no Wangcai. I was used to being with Ran Qiuye for most of the month, so it was a bit deserted when I turned on the lights when I entered.

In the yard, many people watched Yang Xiaotao come back, but it was already getting late and they didn't go out.

But Yang Xiaotao can feel that today's courtyard is different from the past.

It gave him the feeling of respect.

In the middle of the night, Yang Xiaotao put away his notebook and completed the design of the small fertilizer spreader.

This small fertilizer spreader is hung on a tractor and can be used to plow the ground along with the plow, dropping the fertilizer inside when making the ridges, and then being buried under the soil.

However, there is almost no chemical fertilizer in the country now, and it is even impossible to use it in rural areas.

Moreover, tractors are also scarce.

Under various restrictions, the fertilizer spreader that Yang Xiaotao built was of no use at all, at least not now.

As for what can be used, it is the credits provided to Yang Xiaotao.

Five hundred credits have arrived, and I have gained a lot.

As a habit, I went out and looked at the yard. Everything was there, and I was ready to go back to the house to sleep.

Then I heard the sound of a spatula coming from Jia's house. I didn't think much and went home to sleep.

The Jia family's affairs are none of his business.

In front of the Jia family pot, Mrs. Jia Zhang kicked the firewood inside with her feet, and then used a shovel to turn over the mushy porridge in the pot.

Ms. Jia Zhang felt her arms were sore and numb. After just stir-frying a few times, she felt that she couldn't keep up with her breathing.

The fire under the pot is a bit high and the water in the pot is a bit low. If you don't stir fry it quickly, it will stick to the pot soon.

I haven't cooked for many years. It seems that I haven't done anything since Qin Huairu got married.

It’s just that today, if you don’t cook, you will go hungry.

Of course, there is also Qin Huairu.

Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang busy there, Qin Huairu felt confused.

No one brought her food.

Silly Zhu did not come.

The eldest mother didn't come either.

Logically speaking, Si Zhu usually cooks, but if Si Zhu doesn't cook, Auntie can do it too.

If neither of them came, something must have happened.

This made her realize that in the eyes of Yi Zhonghai and Silly Zhu, she was just a needed chess piece, not a necessary one.

It's far less important than you think.

Perhaps, if there is a more suitable person, these two people will change their goals.

As long as they achieve their goals, their own value will be discounted.

Even give up.

Thinking of what he would face in that situation, anger arose in his eyes.

At this moment, the beautiful blueprint weaved in Qin Huairu's heart was like a reflection in the lake, beautiful but fragile.

When this dream collapses, everything becomes reality.

But in the blink of an eye, Qin Huairu smiled again.

She knew exactly what Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu were planning.

Both of them fell in love with her, and to put it bluntly, it made her both a bitch and a widow.

It's just that Silly Zhu is taking advantage, and Yi Zhonghai is taking care of himself.

These are their demands and their weaknesses.

I haven't learned anything else about how to deal with this kind of situation in the courtyard over the years, but I have learned a lot about small tricks.

When dealing with these two people, you just need to preserve their value.

The specifics are very simple, just don't let them feel that they can eat it, but they will never be able to eat it.

Only if you stay away can you be at ease.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu said to Jia Zhang who was busy, "Mom, just make some to fill your stomach. I still have two yuan here. I will buy some meat tomorrow. Let's make it ourselves."

Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't hear clearly.

Qin Huairu gives money?

She didn't care where Qin Huairu came from, but she could give her money without spending her pension fund.

As for why, Jia Zhang couldn't think of that much at all.

"Okay, I'll buy it tomorrow."

Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang agreeing, Qin Huairu smiled even more.

This old godly woman is quite capable of being a troublemaker.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao got up and got ready to go to work.

When passing by the middle courtyard, I met Liu Yuhua, who worked together, and promised to go to dinner in the evening, so they went to work together.

Yang Xiaotao remembered that when Zhou Kui got married, he gave them a bicycle ticket, but now it seems that he didn't buy it.

When Yang Xiaotao asked, Liu Yuhua was a little embarrassed, and then said that she gave the bicycle ticket to her sister-in-law.

In recent years, Liu Yuhua has received a lot of looks from her family because of her unsatisfactory blind dates.

Thanks to her sister-in-law, and unlike other families who were at odds with her sister-in-law, the relationship between the two was very close, just like sisters.

After she got married this time and left home, she could only leave it to her eldest brother and sister-in-law to take care of the family...

Yang Xiaotao drove the car and the two of them walked all the way to the steel rolling mill.

Yang Xiaotao had no objection to the bicycle ticket issue, as long as Zhou Kui agreed.

The two separated and Yang Xiaotao walked to the office.

Arriving at the house, Lou Xiaoe had already arrived and was clearing the table.

Yang Xiaotao said hello, walked to the chair, sat down, and started working.

For more than a week, Yang Xiaotao went out early and came back late every day, either making drawings in the office, going to the R\u0026D department, or going to the workshop below to check on the construction of the steam engine.

During this period, Yang Xiaotao gained a lot.

After thoroughly studying the drawings of the existing tractor, Yang Xiaotao has already begun to design the layout.

The first is to improve the power system.

In a week, Yang Xiaotao improved the existing steam engine to make it suitable for the layout and structure of the tractor.

The original torsion bar of the steam engine is changed to a triangle belt to drive the pulley to generate power and thereby drive work.

The new drawings were handed over to Liu Yifei, and with the cooperation of a workshop, the prototype was built in just two days.

In addition, Yang Xiaotao also has plans for other components, but some of them do not require trouble. Similar finished products have been found from existing materials.

Just modify the data slightly.

Just like the bearings, tires and other parts of the tractor, Yang Xiaotao only needs to design them according to his needs, and a factory will naturally produce them.

When the time comes, just send it to the rolling mill and they will be responsible for assembling it.

As for the design of other components, Yang Xiaotao is responsible for some, and the rest is left to the comrades in the R\u0026D team.

Let's go hand in hand, there's enough time.

Yang Xiaotao estimated that when the tractor's design drawing is fully formed, it will have to be excellent, and the three to five thousand credits will not be a problem.

By then, coupled with other supporting facilities, it will not be too far away from the eighth-level engineer.

On Monday, Yang Xiaotao came back from the farm, and Xiao Wei came back with him.

During this period, Xiaowei ran in the fields every day and didn't earn much energy. However, the corn in the field grew well. In less than a month, it grew to calf height, which was far behind the corn grown in the neighboring villages. gap.

People in the village regarded it as the advantage of hybrid corn seeds and didn't think much about it.

Yang Xiaotao did not dare to let Xiaowei continue, otherwise it would be too shocking.

Arriving at the factory, Yang Xiaotao had a smile on his face.

Because today, he is going to announce the tractor he made.
