Scholars in the courtyard

"Xiao Tao, what a happy event. Teacher Ran gave birth to a boy."

"Listen to this sound, how loud you cry. I will definitely be healthy in the future."

"You, the Yang family, will continue to carry on the ancestral lineage. You must treat Teacher Ran well from now on."

"That's not true..."

The woman who was helping beside her said congratulations. Yang Xiaotao quickly said politely, put his hand into his trouser pocket, and took out a stack of prepared red envelopes from the space, which contained one yuan, "Thank you, aunt, thank you, thank you three." Mom, thank you for your help."

Each person who came to help made the old ladies even more happy, and they all praised Yang Xiaotao for his magnanimity.

If I didn't need to rest in the middle of the night, I would probably be able to talk here for most of the day.

After distributing the red envelopes and looking at the child, Yang Xiaotao was kicked out by Ran's mother after mother and child were safe.

Out the door and into the yard.

Wang Dashan, Zhou Kui and others all sent their blessings. After all, he is Yang Xiaotao's first son, who will carry on the family line in the future, and is of extraordinary significance to the Yang family.

Yang Xiaotao took out the cigarettes and distributed them. After lighting them, everyone was hesitantly talking about their parenting experience. This sentence, that sentence, Yang Xiaotao listened, and the smile on his face never fell.

Finally, Wang Dashan asked Yang Xiaotao if he had prepared a name for the child. Yang Xiaotao said that Mr. Yang would choose the name. As for the nickname, he told Ran Qiuye a few times, but he always felt it was inappropriate.

Several people became interested again and gave Yang Xiaotao advice.

Although it is a characteristic of the times, Yang Xiaotao still feels it is inappropriate.

After listening for a while, Yang Xiaotao looked up at the moon above his head and looked down at the time on his watch.

It's already one o'clock in the morning.

Today is June 24, 1963, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Dragon Boat Festival.

My heart moved.

"Just call it Little Dragon Boat Festival."

After hearing this, everyone immediately applauded.

In the room, Ran Qiuye heard Yang Xiaotao's voice and thought it was good.

Just beside the nursing son, he whispered softly, "Hello, little Dragon Boat Festival."

The response was a slight curve at the corner of the mouth.

After working for most of the night, when it was almost dawn, Yang Xiaotao went to the east room and huddled with Ran Hongbing and closed his eyes.

When I woke up again, the yard was noisy, but everyone was getting ready to go to work.

Yang Xiaotao got up, washed his face and came to the back room.

Ran's mother is cooking, Ran Qiuye is sleeping in the room, and little Dragon Boat Festival is nestled next to Ran Qiuye.

"This brat."

Yang Xiaotao muttered, "It doesn't look like me at all."

Ran's mother smiled at the side and said, "The child is small, and he will look good when he grows up with milk."

Yang Xiaotao hummed, and when he saw that Ran Qiuye was still sleeping, he came out in a low voice.

"Mom, what should I prepare for Qiuye's confinement period?"

"Women cannot be exposed to the wind during confinement. Don't take a shower, wash your hair, and keep up with nutrition."

"Let's go buy a chicken and let Qiuye drink some chicken soup. This is good for your health."

Ran Mu said this, and Yang Xiaotao remembered it in his mind.

"Mom, I'm going to buy one first, and then I'll go to the steel rolling mill later."

After saying that, Yang Xiaotao got out of the car and ran to the vegetable market.

He didn't care if there was any chicken seller at this time. If there weren't any, he would just use the black-bone chicken exchanged in the system. In the worst case, he would just say it was slaughtered.

When Yang Xiaotao left the yard in a hurry, the news that Yang Xiaotao had a son quickly spread in the alley.

Everyone said that Ran Qiuye was a lucky man. Not only did he marry a good man, but he also gave birth to a son.

In the Jia family, after learning that Yang Xiaotao had a son, Mrs. Jia Zhang just nodded and her head hurt again.

Qin Huairu went out to work with red eyes.

She found out last night that Ran Qiuye had given birth to a boy, and she felt completely disappointed.

The original thoughts were shattered by this boy, and he no longer had any energy at all.

As I walked out, I saw three aunties in the front yard laughing and talking to a group of old ladies and young wives at the door.

"You don't know, Yang Xiaotao ran over and stood in front of me."

"Guess what he asked in the first sentence?"

The third aunt was talking ups and downs, and a young daughter-in-law followed and asked, "What are you talking about? Are you asking about boys or girls?"

"Look, is this what your man asked?"

The little daughter-in-law nodded, and everyone around her also had the same expression.

"If I hadn't said that, this educated person would have asked something different."

"Third aunt, stop being so pretentious and tell me what it is?"

"You, you don't have the patience." The third aunt was still trying to figure it out, but she felt that a few people around her were looking at her unkindly, so she quickly said, "This is Yang Xiaotao's first sentence, the first one, without any hesitation."

"That's right, third aunt, how is my wife?"

"Listen and see, this man is serious. He really puts his wife at ease."

The third aunt was particularly concerned about this matter, because when she gave birth to her eldest son, she was in excruciating pain. When the baby was born, Yan Fugui first asked about whether it was a boy or a girl, and then her parents-in-law and mother-in-law all gathered around the eldest son and regarded her as the hero. Set aside in the cold.

I thought all men were like this, but I didn't expect that he completely fucked her last night.

Not all men are like this, but all the men in her family are like this.

After hearing this, several women around her felt envious of Ran Qiuye, and at the same time, they felt resentment toward the men in the family.

I worked so hard to give you a son, why don’t you care?

At this moment, many men on the way to work shuddered.

Qin Huairu lowered her head and walked through the door. Her fingers in her pockets had already twisted her pants into a ball, and her flesh ached.

Now, she is not only jealous of the material life Ran Qiuye enjoys, but also resents the respect given by Yang Xiaotao.

Yes, she had never felt this kind of respect between husband and wife from Jia Dongxu.

The third uncle, Yan Fugui, left carefully. Seeing the third aunt there promoting Yang Xiaotao's goodness, he felt extremely reluctant.

When I went back at midnight last night, the third aunt started wiping her tears while leaving the red envelope on the table. Yan Fugui didn't know what was going on, so he went up to say a few words, and then he was caught by the third aunt and kept talking for most of the night. He didn't dare to say anything back. , who let him ignore this matter.

"Damn Yang Xiaotao, what did you do?"

When Yang Xiaotao came to the vegetable market, he happened to meet someone selling chicken.

A rooster and two hens were placed in a cage, with an aunt squatting next to them.

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward to ask about the price. The aunt was also a real person.

In the end, Yang Xiaotao gave a total of five yuan to the chicken cage. The aunt felt that she was taking advantage of it, so she gave Yang Xiaotao a bag of millet, which she grew at home, to feed the chickens.

When Yang Xiaotao returned to the courtyard in a hurry, the third aunt looked at the three chickens in the chicken cage and felt envious again.

I had just given birth to a baby, so I prepared all the things for confinement, and I just drank a bowl of chicken soup.

Thinking of this, he complained even more to Yan Fugui.

Yu Li went to work late and looked a little absent-minded.

How long has it been and my stomach hasn't moved at all? It's strange that I don't feel anxious.

What can she do if her man is useless?

Seeing Yang Xiaotao buying so many chickens, I felt envious.

In the middle courtyard, Ran's mother was washing the sheets and drying them quickly while the weather was nice.

In addition, there is a pile of diapers. The little one has started to nurse, and these things are indispensable.

"Mom. I bought the chicken."

Yang Xiaotao came in and was willing to put the cage on the ground. Wangcai came running over and asked the owner to eat the chicken, but it had bones to eat.

"Watch it, don't let anyone steal it."

Yang Xiaotao kicked Wangcai in the belly. When he came back, the eyes of the old man and the young man at the door of Jia's house almost bulged out. They really didn't know how they practiced.

Wangcai whined, looking proud.

"well."

Ran's mother responded, her face blooming with joy.

My uncle is so precious to his own daughter, what else can a mother say?

"By the way, Mom, these are the instructions for the pressure cooker. Please be careful and don't make any mistakes..."

Yang Xiaotao took out the operation steps he had written. Although he had already demonstrated them, he still had to be careful.

At the same time, Xiaowei was asked to keep an eye on her at home, and she must protect her family if something happens.

"Yeah, I can use it."

Ran's mother has long been fond of the benefits of making things in the pressure cooker, and she hides them to death, which is just right for a pregnant woman.

Yang Xiaotao said a few more words, then entered the room and looked at Ran Qiuye and Xiao Duanwu.

The little guy was sucking milk with his head tilted to the side at this time, and he was eating happily.

“Little guy, it’s really delicious!”

Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but talk as he listened to the sound of gudong, but his eyes were glaring at Xuebai.

Ran Qiuye's face turned red when she saw Yang Xiaotao's gaze, "Go to work quickly. Don't waste time!"

"Don't worry, we are going at this speed just now."

"Then you have to be careful!"

After talking to Ran Qiuye and asking her to have a good rest, Yang Xiaotao went out.

When he arrived at the steel rolling mill, Yang Xiaotao still had a smile on his face.

Came to Yang Youning's office and talked about the matter. Yang Youning was happy for Yang Xiaotao.

Then he used the office phone to call the grain office in the town, found Fatty Ding and told him about the matter, asking him to bring a message to Mr. Yang.

Fatty Ding agreed immediately and said he would go eat noodles in three days. Yang Xiaotao naturally welcomed him.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Youning stopped Yang Xiaotao.

The two talked about the new employees.

I talked to Yang Xiaotao about this last time.

Just because of the tractor project, the steel rolling mill hired a lot of people.

However, due to various reasons, the salary vouchers of these people have not been approved.

For this matter, Secretary Liu contacted his superiors many times when he was still here, and the leaders at the time also raised it with the relevant departments, but after so many days, there was still no follow-up.

"The end of the month is coming soon, and the factory can't wipe out all the money, so..."

Yang Youning once again said that the solution was to ask Yang Xiaotao, Chen Gong and the directors of several related workshops to use part of their salaries to plug the holes.

Yang Xiaotao had no objection to this. After all, most of those people were recruited by him, and they were still interns and did not receive much salary.

They don't need to issue the coupons, and the factory still has some inventory.

But this is not a long-term solution.

"Director, we can make do with it for a month or two, but these people will be regularized soon. If not, we really can't hold on."

Yang Youning's face was serious, "I know this, so it depends on whether Lao Liu, the new official, can light up the fire after taking office."

Yang Xiaotao nodded and left.

Back in the office, Lou Xiao'e looked happy. When Yang Xiaotao said that she had a son, she felt happier than she had given birth to herself.

"Have you got a name yet?"

"My nickname is Dragon Boat Festival? Oh, it happens to be the Dragon Boat Festival, so it sounds good."

"How many pounds…"

"Do you have double eyelids? Oh, you haven't opened them yet, so you can't see..."

He was chattering like a sparrow, and Yang Xiaotao didn't even know that if he liked it so much, he would just find someone in his life.

I left the office, cleared my ears, and went to the workshop for a walk.

Liu Daming and others also heard about it from the people in the courtyard and came to congratulate them. Yang Xiaotao shared the cigarettes. Wang Fa and others even agreed that they had to call them Full Moon Wine, so Yang Xiaotao naturally agreed.

In this day and age, white things come to you uninvited, and red things come uninvited.

Every household has a similar life, and when inviting people over, one must not only consider the size of the host's family, but also pay attention to the person's appearance.

You can't let people come empty-handed.

Just like Jia Zhang, who sent invitations everywhere in order to earn some money, it was also weird.

Little did he know that if he was scolded like this too often, his favor would be gone.

What the old man said is a violation of the laws of nature, and you will be punished.

Of course, if Wang Fa and the others go, they can still pay for their share of the money. This is also a good move between the two parties.
