Scholars in the courtyard

Backyard, in front of Liu Haizhong's house.

Liu Guangfu peeked and said, "Xu Damao is in a terrible situation this time. After he was taken away, it was found that he had lifestyle problems, cheated on him during marriage, and dated many women."

"That day, at the entrance of the courtyard, a group of people gathered around Xu Damao to criticize and educate him. Wow, what a scene."

"In the end, he was stripped naked and looked at me. That scene, tsk tsk."

"By the way, you don't know what watching melon is? It means taking off your clothes and showing your buttocks for people to see. Haha"

Liu Guangfu recalled that when he was a child, it was embarrassing to be looked at, but when Xu Damao was so old, he would definitely be embarrassed to death.

"That's not all. Now Xu Damao is still in labor camp at the steel rolling mill. I heard he is carrying dung, you?"

Liu Guangfu became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, and Qin Jingru's mind was filled with chaos.

She had also seen being criticized for her education in rural areas. She knew how intense the scene was and how pitiful the person being criticized was.

Now, Xu Damao has been taught that such people have no future.

After following such people, future generations will not be able to hold their heads high.

As for Kangua, Qin Jingru’s face turned red. She would be embarrassed if she married Xu Damao due to such an embarrassing thing.

I was so confused that I didn't listen to anything Liu Guangfu said next.

"What did you say?"

Suddenly, a cold shout came from the Moon Gate. Liu Guangfu, who was talking, was startled and looked up at the person who came. It was Xu Damao who had returned.

Liu Guangfu immediately shut his mouth and continued to look at Qin Jingru while leaning against the pillar.

Xu Damao heard someone say from afar that he was in a bad mood, so he started shouting when he returned to the courtyard.

But after he finished speaking, he saw a figure standing in the yard.

Qin Jingru.

With that look, that figure, that feeling, Xu Damao had the urge to rush up and hug her.

This woman is a bit earthy, but in his eyes, she is pure.

He, Xu Damao, likes this simplicity. He dares to love and hate. When he loves someone, he can’t wait to stick to it.

"Jingru!"

Xu Damao ran over quickly, holding a bottle of wine in his hand and looking excited.

Qin Jingru also saw Xu Damao, but when he came closer, she smelled a foul smell and her eyes became filled with disgust.

"snort!"

With a cold snort, he immediately lowered his head and ran away, passing through the Moon Gate and disappearing.

Xu Damao was stunned and looked at Qin Jingru running away, feeling lost.

"What did you tell her?"

He turned around and asked Liu Guangfu, "I'm telling you, it's over. Stop talking nonsense."

"Xu Damao, what are you shouting about? It's over? Why didn't we know?"

As soon as Xu Damao finished his threatening words, the workers at the backyard steel rolling mill immediately stopped buying it.

Xu Damao looked around and saw that this man was from Workshop No. 8. He drank a lot of soup with Yang Xiaotao on the pressurized water well project this time. He was considered to be of Yang Xiaotao's group in this courtyard.

Not to be offended.

snort!

Facing the increasingly powerful people, Xu Damao felt aggrieved and said no more. He just warned Liu Guangfu with his eyes and went straight home.

In the middle courtyard, Yang Xiaotao was cutting leeks in the yard. The leeks grew very fast after the rain. They didn't even need Xiaowei to ripen them, and the big ones sprouted out.

Just cut it to make a leek box.

Sisters Zhou Yun and Zhou Li helped pick tomatoes, while Zhou's mother took care of her daughter-in-law in Zhou Kui's house.

Seeing Qin Jingru running out of the backyard, Yang Xiaotao knew that he must know about Xu Damao's situation.

Just by looking at her unwillingness to feel aggrieved, one could tell that this woman had not given up on Xu Damao before.

"I just don't know if I will give up after this time."

Yang Xiaotao also wanted to see where Qin Jingru's lowest point was.

The so-called lowest point is the lowest point of moral character.

If she still follows Xu Damao like this, it will be hopeless.

Back at Jia's house, Qin Jingru lay on the table and cried.

Qin Huairu met Jia Zhang and knew what was going on. She just cooked and did not comfort her.

Comfort her, who will comfort them?

Only when Qin Jingru had cried enough, when Qin Huairu brought the noodles to the table, and when the Jia family devoured them so frightened that Qin Jingru quickly grabbed the bowl, did she wipe away her tears.

What she saw in front of her also made Qin Jingru realize that life at her sister's family was not easy.

Qin Jingru's eyes were red as she ate, "Sister, what do you think I should do?"

Qin Huairu sighed helplessly, "What else can I do? I'll go home tomorrow and Xu Damao has done such a thing. You won't get any good results from marrying him."

"Even if the villagers know about it, can they still hold their heads up?"

Qin Jingru was silent.

Xu Damao finished his meal, drank some wine and got ready to go out.

I'm going to work in the steel rolling mill tonight.

Although he had two helpers, if he didn't go, Shazhu would definitely bite him back, and then the six months he had finally lost would have changed again.

Walking to the middle courtyard, I looked at the Jia family’s kerosene lamp. Now, in order to save electricity bills, their family no longer dares to turn on the lights.

Looking through the window at the figure inside, Xu Damao frowned.

After leaving the courtyard, Xu Damao thought about what he should do in the future.

He doesn't need to think about good women. Even divorced women and widows may not like him.

If she wants to find a wife, Qin Jingru is the best choice right now, because she also has no choice.

Walking all the way to the steel rolling mill, he looked at the big characters above his head and said, "I still need to find Qin Huairu about this matter."

The next day, Xu Damao got up early and waited outside the alley on his way to work.

In the Jia family, Qin Jingru didn't sleep well all night, and she was still lying on the bed catching up on her sleep.

Qin Huairu gave two instructions, left the food, and went out.

After a while, Banggan also went to work in the street office at the request of Jia Zhang.

Qin Huairu was walking along when she suddenly heard someone calling her and stopped gratefully.

"Sister Qin, Sister Qin."

Seeing that it was Xu Damao, Qin Huairu immediately turned around and walked forward.

"Sister Qin, wait, wait for me."

Xu Damao ran over quickly, and then approached him with a smile, "Sister Qin, let's talk?"

Qin Huairu glanced at him and said, "We have nothing to talk about."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Xu Damao had already thought about it. Qin Jingru, a country girl, was innocent.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have succeeded last time without saying a few words.

It's just that if I take action again this time, it will only be self-defeating and not beautiful.

So he took the idea to Qin Huairu.

The best way to impress Qin Huairu is by no means a few nice words, but real benefits.

And this is Qin Huairu, or the Jia family's seven inches.

This month has passed, and everyone in the courtyard can see the Jia family's life.

Of course, there is less sympathy and more schadenfreude.

After all, everyone is the same, but you will be poor.

It was by grasping Qin Huairu's weakness that Xu Damao had the confidence to convince her.

While talking, he took his hand out of his pocket, took Qin Huairu's hand without any explanation, and put something in his hand.

Not only that, Xu Damao also took the opportunity to wipe his fleshy fingers, feeling a strange feeling.

Qin Huairu wanted to withdraw her hand, but it was too late. Then she felt something extra in her hand. When she lowered her head, she saw that it was a piece of two-dollar bills rolled together.

In an instant, his palms were clenched and placed in his pocket.

Two yuan is a considerable income for their family.

"Sister Qin, I'm not lying. As long as Jingru is willing to follow me, I will give you ten yuan immediately."

"Beyond that, there are other benefits."

Xu Damao clearly stated his needs and walked away quickly.

Qin Huairu touched the money in her pocket, and her heart suddenly beat loudly.

Then an idea occurred.

‘If Jingru is with Xu Damao, will they help her if they have this relationship? ’

At this moment, the thoughts became clearer and stronger.

When Qin Huairu came to the steel rolling mill, the more she thought about it, the more it seemed possible.

Xu Damao is not a good person and has a bad heart, but I have to say that this person is very good at business. It was not long before he found a way out and started doing private work again.

As long as Xu Damao can make money.

As for Qin Jingru, who came from the countryside, who could she rely on in this courtyard if not her?

With her skills and familiarity in this courtyard, wouldn't it be easy to get something good?

The more he thought about it, the more Qin Huairu felt that it could be done and would be very successful.

Because she knew why Qin Jingru had not married for so many years. Now that she came to the courtyard again, she must not give up on Xu Damao.

Although Xu Damao is suffering now, Qin Jingru may not be much better off either.

After being caught in adultery last time, although she was fine, her reputation was ruined and she was no longer a young lady. How could she get married?

Not to mention marrying a city man.

Marrying Xu Damao is still a way, but it's better than having no way forward.

At least, they can eat the food supply.

Qin Huairu was thinking about it in her heart, and she was even more absent-minded when working.

Yi Zhonghai came to help her several times, but he always talked to her in incoherent words. He thought it was a matter of punishment, so he didn't say anything more and continued working.

Rolling mill, offices.

Yang Youning, Chen Gong and Yang Xiaotao gathered together, with smiles on their faces.

Red Star Tractor has completely become famous.

Not only are orders coming in one after another, but their superiors are also paying more and more attention to them.

Of course, Liu Huaimin contributed to this.

The two sides are helping each other and prospering each other. The benefits of the relationship will definitely not be forgotten by the steel rolling mill.

"Look, here's the request from the south and the north."

"Request, haha!"

Yang Youning smiled, pointed at the report on the table, and emphasized his tone with emotion.

Chen Gong also had a smile on his face, "They all looked down on us back then, saying that we were reversing history and that backward things should be thrown into the trash. Damn you!"

Chen Gong cursed, "Now, why don't you beg us obediently?"

"Everyone's nostrils are pointed in the sky. They don't have much ability, but their hearts are as high as the sky and they are self-righteous."

After Chen Gong finished speaking, Yang Youning nodded immediately.

The two felt quite the same.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at the report on the table. It was a request form forwarded by his superior.

The content is very simple. Several well-known automobile manufacturers want the manufacturing drawings of steam engines.

To put it bluntly, we just want to profit from the tractor market.

Although the steel rolling mill produces so much every day, in the vast land, this is like rapeseed in the grass, you can't find it if you sow it.

Especially in the country where construction is needed, there is a big gap in machinery.

These reports were given to the superiors, who forwarded them to the steel rolling mill, naturally asking what the steel rolling mill meant.

Nowadays, the status of steel rolling mills is gradually rising, many business units have established relationships, and the conditions of the mills are improving rapidly.

Even the lumber mills that usually spend three days fishing and two days drying nets, turning their regular jobs into part-time jobs, have become prosperous because they are connected to the steel rolling mill. Many carpenters who previously looked down on the lumber mills are now struggling to find connections. Want to go in.

The two of them watched for a while, both staring at Yang Xiaotao.

First of all, Yang Xiaotao made the drawings. If you want to hand them over, you have to ask Yang Xiaotao for his opinion.

Although he was sure in his heart that as long as his superiors asked, Yang Xiaotao would not refuse, but he still had to take care of his face.

Secondly, they also know something about the people coming from the north this time. It can be said that those corns have brought a lot of good things to the country.

This can be seen from the rewards given by superiors. There is no doubt that Yang Xiaotao has a bright future.
