Scholars in the courtyard

"Tell me, this cat came to the Jia family because it was wronged."

"Let's settle the score!"

Hiss

Hiss hiss

There was a gasp at the scene.

In this era, some rural legends are still very popular, especially in some rural areas, where many people believe in such stories.

"You mean, this cat came to take revenge on the Jia family?"

"It's very possible that cats are very smart these days."

"Yes, it's a civet. Last year, my aunt's cousin met Wong Tai Sin on the road. Those two legs walked like a human being, and they were about to become a spirit."

One person lowered his voice and said that these days, propaganda of feudal superstition requires ideological education, and in serious cases, people have to be paraded through the streets.

But now, isn’t what is happening in front of me the highest proof?

There are more and more people saying this, and their voices are getting louder and louder.

"What about the uncle? This is too unfair."

Someone shouted again.

"Bah, what's wrong? He was the one who made the noise. If there weren't so many people at the door, he would have been scratched behind the stupid pillar. Doesn't this just illustrate the problem?"

Someone immediately said something, which made Yi Zhonghai in the middle of the yard even more angry and uncomfortable. Jia Zhang also shuddered when she heard the comments from the people around her, especially when it came to the civet's revenge. I dare not say more, for fear that this kind of weird thing will happen again.

Qin Huairu also listened to everyone's discussion, and she couldn't help but feel scared in her heart. It was said that this idea was also hers, and she was naturally afraid if there was something wrong in her heart.

After a while, Silly Zhu went to the alley to borrow a taxi, and then he and Jia Dongxu took Jia Zhang and the first man to the clinic.

Seeing that the rightful owner had left, the people in the yard dispersed. Those who had been frightened so late at night were all very sleepy now, so everyone went back to their homes.

Yang Xiaotao didn't expect that it was just a matter of venting anger. After being processed by everyone in the Siheyuan, it turned out to be a big drama of civet revenge. I really admire the talents of the Siheyuan.

After saying hello to Uncle Chen, Yang Xiaotao went home.

Everyone saw what happened today. Although they didn't know how the cat got in, in such a short period of time, Yang Xiaotao had a sufficient alibi.

What's more, the wild cat is not dead, and will let you easily handle it and throw it in?

All in all, everyone has concluded in their hearts that the Jia family has provoked something dirty.

The next day, when Yang Xiaotao went to work again, he saw Yi Zhonghai with a bandage on his head and walking slowly.

I heard from people in the yard that both of them came back in the morning. Jia Zhang was bitten on the wrist and tore off a piece of flesh. It was quite serious. She received an injection and needed to rest for a while. She was not allowed to see water or carry heavy objects. I still have to go to the hospital for a review.

It just happened to follow Jia Zhang's wishes and eat at home without having to work.

However, I heard that the Jia family spent a lot of money this time, including tetanus and rabies vaccines. The base price was four yuan, and I don’t know how much it will cost in the future.

But it hurt Jia Zhang so much that Qin Huairu lost the smile she used to have on her face.

How much can I eat if I replace it with meat? If I buy this food, I can eat it for several days.

But this time when she came back, Jia Zhang became silent. When she returned to the yard, she didn't act like before and stayed at home honestly.

Apparently he was also shaken by what happened last night.

Yang Xiaotao also knows that people like Jia Zhang are hard-wired, they just suffered a shortcoming and learned a lesson, and they are by no means a person with a long memory.

Ignoring the Jia family's affairs, Yang Xiaotao went to work as usual, made meals, and read books in his free time.

Nowadays, credits have more and more uses, and there are all kinds of things that appear in the redemption column. If you want to buy good things, you must have enough credits.

Moreover, he also wants to take a step forward in this year's assessment and become a third-level fitter. Not to mention the salary and benefits, life will be better.

In the afternoon, he still had some exchanges with workers. Yang Xiaotao found that in the process, the problems raised by workers could also improve his work ability in the process of solving them.

This may be the principle of "reviewing the past and learning the new".

After get off work, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a piece of glass, and then returned home and replaced it with the newly broken one.

There was silence in the whole yard. Perhaps the impact of the Jia family's affairs was too great, so that people who were usually very active had stopped thinking about causing trouble. Even Xu Damao went home directly after get off work, and his enemy Silly Zhu didn't even think about it. Say one more thing.

This was the case for the next few days, and Yang Xiaotao didn't think it was bad.

At least in his opinion, it's quite good to live in this courtyard with the door closed, taking care of each other individually.

Finally it’s the end of the month and it’s time to pay wages.

I cleaned up my work in the morning, followed everyone to the canteen to eat, and then received my salary.

Afternoon break.

Yang Xiaotao queued up early, and when he got his second-level salary, he went to Quanjude for a meal.

I have never been to this world before. I didn’t have much money before, but now that I have money, I naturally want to see more.

When I came to the window, the accountant had already put the prepared wages in front of me.

Yang Xiaotao took it out from the envelope and saw three big black tens plus three yuan and fifty cents, a large stack of food stamps and non-staple food stamps, and finally half a catty of meat stamps.

Yang Xiaotao nodded briefly and put it in his pocket, then greeted Wang Fa and others and left the factory together.

When passing by the team, looking at Jia Dongxu's eyes filled with jealousy and resentment, I felt inexplicably comfortable.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao went to Huaqing Pool. Amidst the bustle of people, many people took off their clothes and took a dip in the pool.

Now there is no bathroom at home, so I can only take a bath secretly, and I have to worry about the danger of being a hooligan.

When he came to this courtyard world, Yang Xiaotao only washed his hair a few times, but didn't really take a shower.

Enjoy the master's craftsmanship and leave feeling several pounds lighter.

When I came to a nearby barber shop, the young master held a clipper in his hand. When using this thing, you need to keep tightening and loosening it with your hands before you can trim the hair.

Yang Xiaotao saw it when he was going to the market when he was young, but the barber shop was no longer needed.

The silver-white hair clippers clanked in the master's hands, and the hair that had been growing for several months fell out. A cold feeling continued to surround the head, and soon it was shaved into a standard crew cut.

Next, the master shaved the sides of the cheeks and the back of the head with a shaver, and then trimmed the nose hair. As for the beard, Yang Xiaotao didn't want to keep it. He didn't want to be like Xu Damao, who had two tufts of mustache.

The whole process is short and smooth.

I have to say that the masters of this era are real masters and capable.

A relaxed Yang Xiaotao walked out of the barber shop, looked at the sky, and went to the library.

I took the bus twice, took out the books from last time and returned them, and then stayed in the library for a while, looking for a few mechanical books, and checked in to borrow them in the evening.

Reading these days also allowed Yang Xiaotao to find some patterns.

That is, in a good reading environment, you will gain more experience than usual by reading through it. Among them, the library is the most suitable for reading.

Next is the home. Although the courtyard is also very noisy, with Xiaowei's help, the sound insulation effect of the house is good.

Finally, there are noisy environments, such as in courtyards, workshops, etc.

There were not many people in the library, and the old master who applied for the library card also looked familiar to Yang Xiaotao.

The old master also saw that Yang Xiaotao really liked reading, because others came here with a purpose to find information, but this guy just looked everywhere he went, and the books he borrowed were all in a mess.

"Master Gu, thank you!"

Yang Xiaotao came to the table holding a stack of books of different sizes and said with a smile.

"Hey, are you looking at the mechanical one?"

Master Gu knew what book it was at a glance.

I don’t know if this kid can really read it or just read it as a book.

"Can you see in?"

"Master Gu, don't underestimate people. I am a second-level fitter after all."

Master Gu smiled, registered him, and then said, "A fitter is a fitter."

Yang Xiaotao didn't care after hearing this, and walked out of the library holding the book.

When I came to a place where no one was around, I threw the book into the storage space, and then took out a handful of spiced melon seeds, which I had redeemed earlier. To save convenience and trouble, I burned the package directly and got some when needed. Just hold it.

Following my memory, I came to Quanjude, and before I even sat down when I walked in, I found that the place was already full of people.

“These days, there are a lot of things you can afford and things you can’t afford.”

The attitude of the waiters is very good. They have obviously received professional training and are not like the uncles at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Yang Xiaotao ordered a roast duck and several side dishes, which cost three yuan and eighty cents, which was very expensive.

I don’t plan to eat here, I just take it home.

Carrying the tempting roast duck along the way attracted many people’s attention.

Arriving at the entrance of the alley, Yan Fugui saw Yang Xiaotao in the front yard, walking over with a roast duck side dish in one hand and a book in the other.

Then he stared at the roast duck in his right hand.

"Xiao Tao, have you been paid? This is to improve your life."

Yan Fugui pushed up his glasses and looked at the brand new Yang Xiaotao, hiding his desire and blocking the door.

Yang Xiaotao knew who these three uncles were and had nothing to hide. He raised the roast duck in his hand and said, "Isn't this a salary payment? Improve the food. Buy the roast duck from Quanjude and try it."

When the third uncle heard Quanjude Roast Duck, his stomach growled.

The last time I ate roast duck was when I had a dick. Life was affluent back then, but now.

It's been so long ago that I can only recall it.

Looking at Yang Xiaotao, Yan Fugui swallowed what he wanted to say. These days, he also understood that Yang Xiaotao just wanted to live his own life alone.

He won't provoke anyone, but whoever provokes him will wait for revenge.

He even thought that Yang Xiaotao was behind the bizarre events in the Jia family a few days ago, which made him strengthen his inner opinion.

Don't mess with Yang Xiaotao.

"Yeah, get paid and eat something good. It's like this these days. It's always like this."

Yan Fugui said and opened the door, which surprised Yang Xiaotao.

This calculating person has changed his temper today and stopped being greedy for petty gains?

Thinking in my heart, as I walked into the middle courtyard, more people noticed that Yang Xiaotao was a young man today, and he became more energetic after picking up today.

With Xiaowei's help, Yang Xiaotao's body gradually became stronger and had a strong and sunny feel.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was sitting at the door basking in the sun as usual. Her wrist was injured and she even didn't need the insoles for her shoes.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao walk in, the greed in his eyes has not diminished, but his cursing voice is three points weaker than before.

Yang Xiaotao knew that the old pious woman must have been frightened and did not dare to behave like a monster, so she walked home proudly.

Behind him, many people were chattering in the yard. Some were talking about how Yang Xiaotao was living, some were talking about why Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't open her mouth to curse today, and some were gossiping about that day.

The entire courtyard is a microcosm of society, but the people living here have more stories!
