Scholars in the courtyard

Siheyuan

Lively sounds kept coming from the central courtyard.

Today is the full moon of the Little Dragon Boat Festival, and it is also the moment when Ran Qiuye ‘sees the light of day again’.

After the full moon wine, Yang Xiaotao naturally wanted to entertain him well.

Zhou Kui brought his mother over, and the two little girls from the Zhou family were playing wildly in the yard with Ran Xinrui and her brother. The fruits that Yang Xiaotao had put in the yard were looted, and he plucked whatever he liked and ate it. The greedy Jia family old man Xiao Kuang swallowed his saliva.

Yang Xiaotao also invited Director Wang's family. When the child was born, Director Wang was busy and did not come over. Now the full moon is just in time to meet the child.

In addition to the two families, there is also a group of Yang Xiaotao's former brothers.

Wang Fa, Che Wenwei, Li Wei, Li Nan, and Xing Jiaqi all came.

Although Wang Guodong, Liu Daming and Chen Bin did not come, they all gave money to the members, and Yang Xiaotao did not refuse. Accepting it would only make people feel at ease.

There are also Wang Dashan and Xiao Liu in the courtyard, a few people in the backyard, and Lou Xiao'e who insists on being little Dragon Boat Festival's godmother.

There were more than 20 people, and two tables were set up at home.

In the afternoon, Ran's mother and Zhou's mother were busy at home, preparing meals.

Thanks to Yang Xiaotao's preparations, although the meals were not all big fish and meat, they were of sufficient quantity, and with the two slaughtered chickens, the quality of the meals was not low.

"The pot is on, let's get a basin."

Outside the yard, Yang Xiaotao opened the lid of the pressure cooker and shouted loudly.

Because the weather was hot, Yang Xiaotao set up a stove in the yard and set up a wooden shelf on it, which was covered by wood. It was simple and convenient.

Xing Jiaqi ran over with a porcelain basin, smelling the aroma of meat in the air, "Brother Tao, your pot is really good."

"It's so messed up so quickly. It's really a good thing."

"I'll hit one up soon."

Xing Jiaqi said, Yang Xiaotao took out the two chickens with a spoon and put them in the basin. As soon as the chopsticks were inserted, the white meat fell off.

"Then you have to prepare some wine, otherwise I won't give you a shot."

"Brother Tao, as far as our relationship is concerned, there is no need to talk about having a drink."

"Go away, you're just trying to get away with it."

As they talked, the two brought the chicken into the house, and Yang Xiaotao began to dismantle the chicken.

Li Nan walked to the yard and brought the chicken soup from the pot into the house. It was full of oil and one sip would satisfy his hunger.

In the room, Lou Xiao'e carefully held the little Dragon Boat Festival, looking at the half-sleeves that were obviously one size larger, her face lit up with joy.

"Qiuye, little Dragon Boat Festival smiled at me."

Shaking her head and teasing the little Dragon Boat Festival, Lou Xiao'e felt for the first time that it would be nice to have a child.

"Take it easy, this kid is very energetic and his head is lifted up."

Ran Qiuye reminded at the side and could take over at any time.

Liu Yuhua also sat aside with her belly bulging out, gnawing on a cucumber in her hand. Her body was already fat, but after becoming pregnant, her whole body was as big as a ball.

But she has a good physique and is still helping in the factory, but the weather is hot, which is a lot of burden for her.

"Qiuye, why is your house so cool? My house is just a stove and it's almost too hot."

Liu Yuhua complained that he couldn't sleep at home at night.

But here, it's obviously hot outside, but it's cool inside.

There is obviously no wind outside, but there is wind blowing here.

She once wondered if her director had come up with something good again and wanted to keep it at home for her own enjoyment.

"Maybe it's about the house."

Ran Qiuye also asked Yang Xiaotao about this question, and the answer he got was this.

Lou Xiao'e hugged the little Dragon Boat Festival tightly, feeling the child's smooth and tender skin, and her cheek was rubbing against the little face.

"Little Dragon Boat Festival, call me godmother."

"My godmother will buy you delicious food from now on."

After hearing this, Ran Qiuye shook his head helplessly, "He can't even speak. He can't understand what you said."

"It's okay. Just say it first. If you say it a few times, he will remember it."

Lou Xiaoe hugged her happily, not giving Ran Qiuye a chance to intervene.

Outside the yard, Banggian was watching from a distance, smelling the aroma of meat, and his face was almost twisted with pain.

Qin Huairu walked out of the yard and said, "Banggen, go home for dinner."

After shouting, there was no response, and he quickly said a few more times.

Seeing no reaction, he walked over.

"Banggan, let's go home for dinner."

"No, I don't want to eat steamed buns. I want to eat meat. Chicken."

Banggeng pointed at Yang Xiaotao's house and shouted loudly.

Qin Huairu's face turned cold. With so many people in the courtyard watching, do you still want this face?

If it were before, she would still have the shamelessness to order some. After all, the family is in trouble and the hospital advocates mutual help.

No matter how bad things get, there is still Yi Zhonghai, a fool, who can help solve the problem.

But now, the people who helped have been sent to forced labor camps.

People in the yard even avoided her, and no one wanted to talk to her.

Qin Huairu was even more shameless to see Yang Xiaotao, and would be humiliating himself if he did.

"go home!"

"No!"

Banggeng stared at the pot in the room with one eye. The pot was churning under the light, and the taste of the meat kept stimulating him.

"go back!"

Qin Huairu shouted again. At this time, someone had already looked over, and sarcastic voices kept coming.

"I don't. Why can they eat meat? Why can't they give it to me? Mom, go and ask for it. You can get steamed buns in exchange for it, why not some meat in exchange?"

Qin Huairu suddenly turned cold and raised her hands to teach her ignorant son a lesson.

"Huairu."

A voice sounded, and Qin Huairu looked gratefully, but it was the aunt standing at the door.

Since Yi Zhonghai was reformed through labor, and the identity of the first uncle was deprived, the first aunt was somewhat in name only, so she rarely participated in the affairs of the compound on weekdays. She only talked to Qin Huairu and walked around with the second aunt.

"Big Mom!"

Qin Huairu still calls the first aunt, and as for the third aunt, haha~~

"The child is young, so it's okay to be greedy." The eldest mother walked up to Banggeng, touched the little head, and said lovingly, "Banggeng, grandma has meat at her house, so go to grandma's house to eat it."

As soon as Banggeng heard this, he immediately ran to his aunt's house.

Now, Shazhu's house is sealed, and Bangge doesn't dare to go in no matter how bastard he is. Other houses in the yard are guarding against him as if they are on guard against thieves. In the end, Auntie's house is still open to him.

"Auntie, how is this good?"

Qin Huairu said embarrassedly, and the aunt shook her head, "Lao Yi said, we are in the same hospital, so let's help if we can."

"Besides, this guy has gone too far."

Looking at the bustle of the Yang family and the deserted houses in the courtyard, this is not the right way for neighbors to get along.

Neighbors should help each other. How can we help outsiders but not our own people?

"Without an old man to help, it's easy to go astray."

The aunt sighed with emotion, Qin Huairu nodded vigorously.

In the Jia family, Mrs. Jia Zhang still thought that Qin Huairu could get the meat back, but after waiting for a long time, the sticks came back full and she didn't eat at all.

Smelling the aroma of chicken, Jia Zhang's stomach became upset and she started to have a headache.

"One chicken, two chickens, three chickens"

He muttered in his mouth and counted the chickens one by one, using this method to hypnotize himself.

In the front yard, as the only uncle in the yard, Yan Fugui felt aggrieved.

This Yang Xiaotao is so ignorant of praise.

It's so substandard.

Such a big official, such an important occasion, did not invite him, the eldest son of the courtyard, to be arrogant and unreasonable.

The third aunt was equally aggrieved. She was the only aunt. Anyway, she went to help last time. Why didn't she yell at Full Moon Wine?

Even if it’s a small favor, that’s fine.

Then I can bring back some leftovers.

well.

In the backyard, Liu Haizhong put down the feather duster in his hand. In the corner, Liu Guangfu lowered his head, tears falling down.

On the other side, Liu Guangtian stood obediently in the corner, swallowing his saliva while looking at the food on the table, not daring to move.

Just because Liu Guangfu said "not worthy of serving on the table", Liu Haizhong was angered, and he was beaten to death when caught.

"Master, why don't you go take a look?"

The second aunt suggested, her bangs smacking her lips, and finally she shook her head, "No!"

Silence ensued in the room.

Next door, Xu Damao looked at the repaired ceiling, feeling confused.

The family has no money.

Eating has become a problem.

The popular ones in front of him drink spicy food, but he can only eat steamed buns at home.

When had Xu Damao ever gotten over this crime?

"It would have been better if we had not separated from Lou Xiao'e. That girl has a strong family background."

Thinking of Lou Xiao'e's current changes, she is becoming more and more interesting, a confident woman, a strong woman, and she has more sense of conquest.

Unfortunately, I have no chance.

"You damn Yang Xiaotao, your life is so damn good."

Chang Shi cursed and lay on the bed again, "I need to get some money."

"time to eat."

Yang Xiaotao put the food on the table, then walked to the back room and said to several people.

In the room, Lou Xiao'e hugged the little Dragon Boat Festival and kept making love.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao coming, he got closer and compared, "Look, the father and son really look alike. These big eyes, these eyelids."

Lou Xiao'e said, and Ran Qiuye smiled, "It's wrong if it doesn't look like him. This is his seed."

After saying that, something felt wrong. After all, Lou Xiaoe was single and had no children.

Lou Xiao'e didn't pay attention. When the little Duanwu in her arms saw Yang Xiaotao, she stretched out her hand for a hug.

"Hey, good son, you are so dear."

Yang Xiaotao reached out and rescued his son from Lou Xiao'e's arms.

"Little traitor."

Lou Xiao'e pinched her waist and made a face at Xiao Duanwu, but Yang Xiaotao raised his head and said, "Who is a traitor? This is my son."

"Qiuye, let's eat first."

Director Wang walked in from outside, holding tomatoes in his hand. He couldn't help but hug the little Dragon Boat Festival.

Carrying the child to the women's table, Ran Qiuye greeted her at the side.

Yang Xiaotao greeted Wang Fa and others to eat.

At the wine table, everyone was eating and drinking freely, and the voices of men in the room were noisy and chaotic.

After three drinks, Yang Xiaotao went to the back room to meet Director Wang and others.

Then he came to the house with the little Dragon Boat Festival in his arms.

"Hey, come on, let uncle give you a hug."

Wang Fa immediately stood up and reached out to hold Little Dragon Boat Festival. He was quiet in Yang Xiaotao's arms just now, but now he immediately started crying.

The loudest voice.

Everyone in the room laughed, and Wang Fa quickly returned the child.

After Ran Qiuye took the little Dragon Boat Festival away, several people started drinking again.

While drinking, we talked about work.

Yang Xiaotao has naturally become the focus of everyone's ridicule. Although he is the director and has the highest status, he is still a kid in front of Wang Fa and others, even if this kid is now a father.

Speaking of tractors and fans, everyone was very excited.

"Fan? Use a steam engine? Isn't the hot air coming out?"

Director Wang was a little embarrassed after drinking some wine with Lao Li, and he was holding a cigarette and was full of curiosity.

He had seen steam engines before, and had driven tractors in the power station, but this was the first time he had heard of using them to make fans.

Before Yang Xiaotao could speak, Wang Dashan patted his thigh and explained, "Old Li, this steam engine is small and not big."

"In short, there's not much hot air. The wind it blows out is amazing. Our slaughterhouse is indebted to this thing, otherwise the meat wouldn't be able to be stored."

Wang Dashan explained, while Wang Fa and others were making gestures, and finally made it clear.
