Scholars in the courtyard

Compared with the Zhou family's joy, the Jia family's life is sad.

Before Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard, comrades from the security department of the steel rolling mill came first.

Silly Zhu was fined, so he had to pay for it himself.

But most of his money has been spent, and now he can't get it out, so he can only ask Yi Zhonghai for help.

There was no other way, so Yi Zhonghai wrote a note and asked Aunt Ma to pay for Silly Zhu.

When they came to the courtyard, the people from the security department told the story about Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai. After hearing this, Auntie immediately fainted on the bed.

When she woke up, she looked at the stern eyes of the people in the security department, held back her grief, and found money to pay the fine for Silly Zhu.

After taking out the thirty yuan, without Yi Zhonghai's income, there are still more than three years, and the days are going to be tight.

After the people from the security department left, the aunt fell ill directly at home.

In the Jia family, Qin Huairu dragged her exhausted body back home.

"Where were you last night? Were you hanging out and enjoying yourself? I didn't want to do this."

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu with triangular eyes, but she saw Qin Huairu's red eyes staring at her, which made her feel a little chilled.

"yesterday."

Qin Huairu felt that it was better to explain clearly herself.

After all, there are many workers in this courtyard, so they can’t hide it.

As Qin Huairu narrated, Mrs. Jia Zhang inserted her hands together, and her nails were almost inserted into her flesh.

"You mean, not only will there be no more steamed buns from now on, but two months' salary will be deducted?"

"right!"

Jia Zhang sat down on the stool with a puff.

"Xu Damao, damn Xu Damao, why don't you do human affairs?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang cried out and was about to go to the backyard to trouble Xu Damao, but was stopped by Qin Huairu.

"If you go find it today, the rolling mill will know about it tomorrow. Isn't this retaliation? Isn't our mistake profound?"

"You still think our family is not difficult enough?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Jia Zhang sat aside angrily with her triangular eyes bulging.

The two stared at each other for a while, then looked away

Things have come to this. If you want to keep your job, you have to survive these two months. Otherwise, your job will be gone and you will not be able to become workers. Maybe the street office will just send them back to the countryside.

Qin Huairu explained the matter, and Jia Zhang pursed her lips and did not dare to say anything more.

She hated Xu Damao, but she was even more afraid of returning to the countryside. In the following days, Qin Huairu fully realized what it means to be self-reliant, hard and simple.

Without Sha Zhu's big steamed buns, the Jia family's food was consumed quickly, and Bang Gang could only eat steamed buns to satisfy his hunger.

The Jia family has five mouths, but Qin Huairu's food supply is not enough.

Otherwise, if the aunt had kindly given me some stick noodles, the family would have been out of food.

Even so, it wouldn't last a few days.

Their hearts were heavy, and neither of them wanted to say more.

In the following days, the people in the courtyard discovered that Jia Zhang, who had always acted like a victim, and was blaming the sky and the earth, actually became calm and kept her mouth shut, not daring to offend the people in the courtyard.

Banggeng got up early and went to work at the street office late at night, but he didn't dare to cheat and cheat. After all, the street office still had cornbread to eat at noon.

Compared with Jia Zhang's honesty, Qin Huairu is more active.

He looked miserable and pitiful, holding a little Sophora japonica in his arms and going around the courtyard asking for alms. He had a decent relationship with the courtyard and borrowed food from her.

Even Uncle Yan in the courtyard was brought to the door by Qin Huairu with his child in his arms. After crying for a while, he had to give him five kilograms of stick noodles.

Then came the bangs in the backyard. Faced with Qin Huairu's cries, this guy had the intention to refuse, but was stunned by Qin Huairu's compliments. He just wanted to sit back and sit back, so he also gave five kilograms of stick noodles.

As for the others, they all helped more or less.

After all, the kid was innocent.

Of course, some people Qin Huairu did not dare to go for alms, and if they did, they would be asking for trouble.

Even with these stick noodles, the Jia family's life has plummeted to the bottom.

With no oil and water, and no money to buy meat, Banggeng stared at the chicken cage in front of Zhou's house when he went out.

Fortunately, Zhou Yun and Zhou Li underestimated her and didn't give the good guy a chance.

By late August, everyone in the courtyard had borrowed everything they could, and there was no money to be made. The Jia family's life immediately fell into dire straits.

Visible to the naked eye, the Jia family has lost weight.

Bangge became dry and thin, with messy hair, just like a big rat.

That's it, I still have to go out to work. I come back as tired as a dead dog every day, and I have no intention of running around in the yard.

Jia Zhang's fat face is gone, her body is still fat and round, and her triangular eyes are drooped with dark circles.

My headaches have gotten worse recently. I don’t have money to buy painkillers, so I can only hold my head stiff. It’s strange that I can sleep well.

Qin Huairu's chin also pointed out, but as the old saying goes, thin people should slim down their breasts first. During this time, the original work clothes began to fit, which made Qin Huairu's proud figure a bit lost.

In order to maintain her original figure, Qin Huairu could only eat more in the factory, which gave many people the opportunity to get close to her. Qin Huairu did not resist, letting people get some cheap money and then pay for her.

This is something that happens again and again, and is already well-known in the workshop.

Yi Zhonghai is also a person who has experienced it personally. He doesn't care about Qin Huairu's behavior, as long as he doesn't go too far.

Of course, in order to prevent any eventuality, Yi Zhonghai still had an extra eye and kept an eye on it.

After all, Qin Huairu and Shazhu are indispensable in his pension plan.

Silly Zhu is also having a hard time these days.

Working alone is exhausting, and you also have to eat steamed buns every day. Without oil and water, how can you have strength?

Now, it is probably difficult to even lift a spoon.

If it weren't for the fact that Liu Lan still had some friendship and would bring a piece of leftover steamed buns every now and then, Shazhu would have been unable to hold on any longer!

What made him most uncomfortable was Qin Huairu's neglect of him.

His clothes were no longer washed, and he no longer came to see him. Even if he encountered her, he would only smile in a forced manner, which made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

And there are still six more years like this.

Every time he thought about this long period of time, Shazhu felt confused and helpless.

And Qin Huairu's change in attitude also slowly shook the belief in his heart.

Without the inner support, life will be more difficult.

In comparison, Yang Xiaotao's life trajectory once again became a triangle.

Steel rolling mill, Siheyuan, Yangjiazhuang.

Fortunately, the production of the steel rolling mill has stabilized and the workshop is not so nervous.

As workers become more proficient, so does their efficiency.

Especially for this month's grade assessment, after Yang Xiaotao's struggle, the superiors took into account the particularity of the 11th workshop and the actual situation, and decided to change the assessment content, which made the employees in the workshop enthusiastic.

Now the workshop has returned to normal work and rest, the night shift has been cancelled, and work is back on track.

Yang Xiaotao no longer needs to stay in the workshop all day. He has time to sit in the office and read a book.

As for Yangjiazhuang, after Director Gao left, Yang Dazhuang and Wang Xuyang had to decide the rest. Of course, they just followed the previous path, and Yang Xiaotao still needed guidance on some things.

Yangjiazhuang.

Mr. Yang was pushing the cart, with little Dragon Boat Festival half-lying inside, and the two of them were walking around the school.

One old and one young, they all act like children, and sometimes they stop to talk.

One couldn't speak clearly, the other couldn't hear clearly. Both of them were saying yes, but they were also enjoying themselves.

Yang Xiaotao came back in the morning, cleaned up the house at home, took time to prepare meals, then came to school, and what he saw was this scene.

Ever since Little Dragon Boat Festival returned to the village, he has become the favorite of Mr. Yang.

Except for feeding and sleeping, I spent the rest of the time wandering around the village with my grandfather. The novelty made me more and more excited every day.

Maybe it's heredity, or maybe it's because Ran Qiuye fed her well, but the little guy grew faster and was stronger than the other children in the village who were born in the same month.

Moreover, this kid eats everything, including vegetable soup and millet porridge. He can even grind the dough in his mouth when soaking in soup. It is reasonable to say that he can eat like this for a long time.

Seeing the two of them sitting in the shade under the tree, there was a frog tied with a rope to the side of the car. Every time it jumped, it made the little Dragon Boat Festival squeak.

Yang Xiaotao went over to say hello, and then was sent away by Mr. Yang, who had no choice but to walk to the office.

In the office, Ran Qiuye was grading homework. Besides her, there was also Teacher Hong.

Yang Xiaotao walked in and said hello to Teacher Hong. In the next few days, he sat in front of Ran Qiuye and asked about the situation.

The two hadn't seen each other for a week, and they both had something to say, especially when it came to their son, they were talking and laughing.

Teacher Hong sat aside, holding a glass of water, and looked at Yang Xiaotao with a smile in his eyes.

When he was first taken down, he was mentally resistant and even gloomy.

Later, his old superior found connections and transferred him here, allowing him to see a different village.

The more he understands everything here, the more magical it becomes. A village has undergone such changes in just a few years, forcing him to find the root cause of the changes so as to unearth them and benefit more rural areas.

After these days of observation, every time I ask the villagers, everyone will mention one person.

And he knew that he was able to come here to teach because of what that man said.

He is a good man.

When he overheard this comment, his heart was moved and heated.

This made him believe that the eyes of the people were sharp and made him even more convinced of his future.

And this person is Yang Xiaotao.

This also made him understand how much influence this young man had here.

For this, it would be false to not be grateful, especially after going through all kinds of ups and downs, some things can be calm and calm in the heart.

But those who care about him and are kind to him, especially in this situation, are tantamount to providing help in times of need and can warm his heart even more.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Teacher Hong mentally sorted out the information collected these days.

Yangcun No. 1, the inventor of hybrid high-yielding corn.

It was not taken seriously when it was first discovered, but after it was discovered later, a farm was established.

Once tested, it has good results.

It is said that the experiment in the north was successful this time, and the people who came here last time were discussing the purchase of improved seeds.

Moreover, he was vaguely aware that this purchase was not a simple transaction. He realized the difference from the moment Director Gao left with a group of children and seeds.

As for the corn seeds on this farm, he heard that they would be planted in surrounding areas. He was excited at the thought of doubling the yield per mu.

If there had been so much food back then, it wouldn't have been a one-week offensive!

In addition, this man is also an engineer at a steel rolling mill. Being able to reach this level at such a senior level is an ability in itself.

In recent years, the rolling mill has been unable to launch products such as heating stoves. It is said that classrooms are too warm to wear cotton-padded jackets in winter. Water pumps and pressure wells have also solved the problem of farmers carrying water. There is little rain this year, so the farm can These things play an important role in ensuring the harvest.

And I heard that this thing has become popular, and many local factories have begun to build it. It’s a good thing.
