Scholars in the courtyard

A sparse sound suddenly appeared and then quickly dissipated.

Less than ten minutes later, the two of them were fully dressed. Qin Huairu came out of the warehouse with a crumpled handkerchief in her hand.

Just put it in your pocket and wash it when you get home.

Her chest was bulging, but Qin Huairu was already well-funded, and she deliberately moved her shoulders, so outsiders couldn't tell.

Seeing that there was no one around, Qin Huairu walked outside the factory.

Just a few steps after Qin Huairu left the warehouse, she bumped into Silhu who was coming back.

Qin Huairu was shocked. Silly Zhu came back earlier than usual.

Fortunately they were done quickly.

"Huairu, you're here."

When Si Zhu saw it was Qin Huairu, he stared at his chest and smiled.

"Zhuzi, why do you smell so bad?"

Qin Huairu was shocked, then fanned and pinched her nose and asked.

"Stop talking. Silly Mao, that turtle grandson, couldn't beat him and just threw up his excrement. I got splashed all over."

Silly Zhu said angrily, "But the grandson didn't want to please me either. I kicked him in the lifeline and he fell down on the toilet floor on the spot. He probably won't be able to stand up now."

Shazhu said proudly, taking the opportunity to walk up to Qin Huairu and squeeze Qin Huairu's hand.

It's as warm as jade and fleshy, and it feels so good.

Every day, when he could see Qin Huairu, he felt relaxed and forgot about the disgusting things.

"Go, go, go. It stinks."

Qin Huairu pulled her hand away and came back, "Hurry up and change your clothes. I'll wash them for you tonight."

Silly Zhu smiled, but his hands felt wet, thinking it must be Han River.

Hearing Qin Huairu's urging, he was even more happy. He still had someone to wash his clothes, did you have someone to wash your clothes with?

"Wait!"

After saying that, he immediately ran into the warehouse.

On the other side, Yi Zhonghai was lying under the mosquito net feeling the excitement in his body.

This was something he and Aunt Ma had never had before.

Especially in this environment.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside, and he knew it was Si Zhu's. Yi Zhonghai put his clothes on his body cleanly, pretending to rest.

Silly Zhu ran in, took a look, and saw Yi Zhonghai sleeping on the bed, but didn't look carefully.

I just feel like there's a nasty smell in the warehouse.

Maybe it's on the body.

After changing his clothes, Shazhu bundled the washed clothes with a rope, carried them and ran out.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily he wasn't caught.

Next time, not here.

Nine p.m.

Yang Xiaotao sent the last batch of tractors out of the workshop, and then left the rolling mill with Zhou Kui, Lou Xiao'e and others.

In the dead of night, everyone gets off work together and takes care of each other.

As for the workshop, Li Nan and others who work the night shift still stick to their posts.

As everyone walked on the quiet streets, they would encounter patrolling militiamen from time to time. When they saw the work clothes Yang Xiaotao and the others were wearing, many people knew them and only glanced at them.

"Section Chief, what good stuff is in this box?"

She had locked it in a drawer since she brought it back to the office. She didn't ask anything, but she still wanted to ask now.

"This thing, baby!"

"Outsiders are not allowed to see."

Yang Xiaotao patted the box and clamped it very carefully to avoid Lou Xiao'e's prying eyes.

"mean!"

Lou Xiao'e muttered.

Yang Xiaotao didn't care, this was a family heirloom.

But Yang Xiaotao didn’t want too many people to know.

Feeling proud, thinking about showing off to his wife when he went home, he hurried to the courtyard with strength on his feet.

Outside the courtyard, at the entrance of the alley.

When Yang Xiaotao and others turned the corner, they heard the commotion in the yard, and immediately quickened their pace.

After passing the gate, I saw the lights on in the front yard, and the Yan Fugui family was noisy.

Yang Xiaotao heard twice that some money had been stolen and couldn't find it, so he didn't care and went straight to the middle courtyard.

After passing the hanging flower gate, I looked at the lights in my yard that were still on. In the middle courtyard, many people gathered together to sit under the locust tree to enjoy the shade.

Ran Qiuye pushed the cart, and the little Dragon Boat Festival was lying inside. The outside was surrounded by gauze to avoid mosquito bites.

At this moment, they are all sitting on the bench, holding futons and fanning themselves.

Yang Xiaotao walked in and heard the sound of the radio.

"Welcome to this program. The following is the "Storytelling" program..."

The voice was medium and flat, without any fluctuations, but it made the people in the middle courtyard listen attentively.

In this era of lack of entertainment, being able to listen to the radio is also a benefit of the courtyard house.

Ever since Ran Qiuye was out of confinement, he would take out the radio at night and put it in the yard for everyone to listen to books together.

Not only the people in the courtyard, but also people in the alleys would praise him if they heard about it. If it weren't for the strict control now, there would probably be a lot of people coming to visit.

Even so, there are many people coming from the front and back yards.

After dinner, a bunch of people were waiting under the tree, just like watching TV in the previous life.

When Yang Xiaotao led the people to the middle courtyard, everyone was so focused on listening that they didn't even look.

No wonder there was so much commotion in the front yard and not many people went to the middle yard.

It turns out they are all here.

Yang Xiaotao walked a little closer to Ran Qiuye, and coughed in advance to avoid scaring her.

Ran Qiuye turned around when he heard a familiar voice, and everyone around him realized that Yang Xiaotao and Zhou Kui had returned.

"Director Yang, I heard that you are advanced again?"

"Yeah, my guy came back and shouted on the loudspeaker, it's amazing."

Several old women started to smile, and now they went out to tell people that Yang Xiaotao was a very respectable person in their yard.

"Nothing, just a little thing."

Yang Xiaotao smiled.

"With our director's abilities, isn't that a piece of cake?"

Someone was bragging on the side, but Yang Xiaotao just kept being humble.

After all, humility makes people progress and helps unity.

Ran Qiuye also helped and was polite, and then the two of them walked home. Yang Xiaotao looked at his son sleeping soundly and asked what was going on in the front yard.

Ran Qiuye didn't know much about it, but he only heard from people in the courtyard that Yan Fugui's family would have a meeting when they came back, and they would shout from time to time, which was quite lively.

Yang Xiaotao didn't ask any more questions, and immediately pulled Ran Qiuye and the child into the back room.

Yang Xiaotao smiled as he put the little Dragon Boat Festival on the crib.

Seeing him like this, Ran Qiuye felt shy for no reason. What was this bad guy thinking about?

"This is a reward from the factory!"

As he said that, he took out the envelope and Yang Xiaotao looked at it. It contained thirty yuan and twenty industrial coupons.

Ran Qiuye took it and opened it, "So many?"

"It's nothing. Compared with this little money, it's just a drop in the bucket."

Yang Xiaotao rubbed his fingers and put his eyes on the box.

Ran Qiuye quickly put away the envelope and looked at the box in Yang Xiaotao's hand.

"Daughter-in-law, what do you think this is?"

"I don't know! What is it?"

"Hehe, you would never expect that."

Yang Xiaotao said proudly, then placed the wooden box on the bed and asked Ran Qiuye to open it and take a look.

Ran Qiuye held back her surprise and carefully reached out to open the box.

"a book?"

Ran Qiuye said, Yang Xiaotao nodded with a smile.

Then he picked up the book and flipped through a few pages.

"Nothing special."

Ran Qiuye didn't notice, but Yang Xiaotao walked over and sat down.

"Daughter-in-law, this book is not simple."

With that said, he walked to the bedroom and took out the box containing "The Complete Works of Lu Xun". After opening it, the two books were put together.

Ran Qiuye knew the meaning of "The Complete Works of Lu Xun". To put it bluntly, it was an heirloom of the Yang family, and he had to check it out immediately when he came back.

And this book is actually with it, this...

Ran Qiuye's eyes suddenly widened, "Could it be that this book is too?"

"Yes. Hehe."

Yang Xiaotao held Ran Qiuye in his arms and said, "Daughter-in-law, this book has a lot of background."

"You mean."

"Yes, you and I just know it in our hearts and don't make it public."

Ran Qiuye stood up immediately and looked through it carefully.

Looking at it, I really saw many mixed sticky notes. Looking at the handwriting and simple words on them, they were all filled with concern for the country and the people.

"Is this really for you?"

"It goes without saying that Secretary Liu sent it here personally. How can it be fake?"

Yang Xiaotao affirmed, and Ran Qiuye's eyes burst with intense color.

"Is this a reward for you?"

"should be."

Yang Xiaotao said, "However, there may be another meaning."

"What?"

"I think his wish is to make the country prosperous and powerful and to keep the people full. This is the original intention of sending this book."

"Revitalize the economy so that everyone can eat and live a good life."

After saying this, Yang Xiaotao stopped talking and said no more.

After hearing this, Ran Qiuye nodded silently.

"Then, you have to work harder."

Yang Xiaotao came back to his senses and looked at his wife.

"What's wrong? Looking at me like this?"

"No. You're right, there are some things we can't do."

Yang Xiaotao thought and knew that he couldn't stop it.

"But there are some things we can do well."

"Working hard doesn't mean doing well, but if you don't work hard, you can't do anything well."

Hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, Ran Qiuye smiled, "Actually, you have done a good job, and I admire you very much. Really."

Yang Xiaotao chuckled.

"Put it away quickly. From now on, it will be our family heirloom."

Ran Qiuye nodded, put the two books in the box and put them back on the bookshelf.

When Ran Qiuye came back, Yang Xiaotao suddenly said, "Daughter-in-law, there is something we need to do quickly."

"What's the matter?"

"Look, there are already two copies of this family heirloom. We only have a small Dragon Boat Festival, so we need another one to balance it out."

"Bah, give birth to yourself."

After saying that, Ran Qiuye ran out with a smile and sat with Liu Yuhua to listen to the novel.
