Scholars in the courtyard

In the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao continued to stay at home and read.

I have to say that Yan Fugui is really good at scheming. The few books he sent were all miscellaneous books with no content and would be forgotten after reading them.

Although this book only contributed ten points of credits, it was still a gain.

"Tomorrow is Monday again, I hope I can refresh something good."

Speaking of the exchange bar, the past few weeks have brought a lot of good things.

Now Yang Xiaotao's storage space is filled with things from later generations, most of which are for food and a few for use.

There are many kinds of food, including fast food such as instant noodles, ham and sausage, and raw materials such as flour and pork.

It's been used a few times.

It's just that most of the time they are small items such as toothbrushes and nail clippers. After Yang Xiaotao exchanged a kettle, he only exchanged it for a multifunctional fruit knife and a military satchel.

Speaking of which, this military shoulder bag is also a rare thing, loved by many young people.

Ever since he got the satchel, Yang Xiaotao has always gained the enthusiasm of the little girls every time he goes to the library.

If there weren't too many animals in the courtyard, he would have wanted to find one quickly so that he could have something to do at night.

It was a bit cloudy in the afternoon. After watching for a while, Yang Xiaotao returned to the house.

Xiaowei, however, is still cheerful. Now she has basically settled in the yard. As long as Yang Xiaotao is at home, she will stay there.

From time to time there was a rustling sound in the yard, the wind blew, and it was a lush green.

The courtyard was not peaceful either. It immediately became a rare thing for the third uncle to get something from Yang Xiaotao.

The third aunt was not one to be conservative about things. Once she told a few aunts about the matter in the front yard, many people immediately thought about it.

So before the sun set, people came to Yang Xiaotao's house.

Wang Xiaohu carried two pork kidneys and ran in in a hurry, then took a bunch of leeks and a bag of tomatoes and ran back home.

Then, several more people came in one after another with some things in the yard, and Yang Xiaotao also responded politely.

Of course, some were rejected by Yang Xiaotao.

The entire courtyard was filled with a harmonious atmosphere, and the old man stomped his feet when he saw it.

"No, Yang Xiaotao is trying to win people's hearts."

The old man was holding a vat, sitting at the table and sulking.

The eldest mother was cleaning up at home. Although she wanted to change some things, she didn't want to take advantage of her husband's expression.

What's more, they don't lack this at home.

"Lao Yi, I think this is good."

"This child is quite sensible and will help his neighbors in need. He is not so heartless."

The aunt lowered her head and was busy, but she didn't see Yi Zhonghai's face getting worse and worse.

boom

"As a woman, what do you know?"

The eldest mother was shocked, but she was a responsible person, and her husband was her god at home. When she heard Yi Zhonghai getting angry, she didn't dare to speak.

Yi Zhonghai had a look of reluctance on his face, "What you see is just his deliberate performance. This kind of petty profit will only make those without principles lose their judgment."

"Our compound has always been peaceful and peaceful, and there has never been a blushing incident."

"But think about it, since Lao Yang passed away, which one of these things is not related to Yang Xiaotao?"

"Now he is offering benefits and buying people's hearts. This is to prepare for the future. This is buying people's hearts and harboring evil intentions."

"If things continue like this, who will still listen to me, an uncle? Who will we rely on for our retirement in the future?"

The more Yi Zhonghai talked, the more excited he became. When the aunt heard this, her heart suddenly trembled, and she hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.

"Old man, are you thinking too much?"

"This Yang Xiaotao is not easy to get along with. Maybe we will make a mess."

"Didn't you tell me a few times not to provoke him?"

Aunt Ma also mentioned that Yi Zhonghai was angry and vomited blood several times. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want Yi Zhonghai to get involved in Yang Xiaotao's affairs again, for fear of causing another accident and leaving her without support.

"This time, that time!"

Yi Zhonghai seemed to have thought of something, and squinted his eyes at a woman walking out of the small courtyard. The corners of her mouth were pulled to the back of her head, and she was carrying a bunch of chili peppers in her hand, which was extremely proud.

Yi Zhonghai took a look and saw that three or four people had already gone to Yang Xiaotao's place, but no one had come out empty-handed.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai also saw that several people who entered had something in their hands, just like Aunt Huang just now, who had a small bag of peanuts when she entered.

"You have to do good things in exchange for something? Huh! This ideological consciousness needs to be improved."

Yi Zhonghai had an idea in his mind, so he got up and walked out.

"Old man, where are you going?"

"I went to tell you, you can't be too selfish. We are all from the same courtyard, what else do we need?"

After the words fell, the person had already walked out of the door.

In the Jia family, Qin Huairu was scolded by Jia Zhang for a while after he came back. Jia Dongxu on the side also made sarcastic remarks and kept saying that Qin Huairu was useless.

Qin Huairu couldn't express her pain, but Yang Xiaotao only said two words from beginning to end.

Still the same word.

"Mom, look, the first uncle is here."

Jia Dongxu was sitting at the door. When he saw the direction the uncle was walking, he immediately shouted.

When Mrs. Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongxu's voice in the room, she immediately jumped down. She didn't care to talk about Qin Huairu. She just looked at the elder, thinking that he must be there to benefit the compound.

The whole family looked delighted, waiting for the good news.

At the same time, the second uncle in the backyard looked downcast in his bangs, and the second aunt beside him lowered his head and held a bag of broken tea leaves in his hand.

"That little beast really said that?"

The second aunt nodded immediately, looking a little aggrieved.

Thinking that he was a woman, or the second aunt in the yard, she went to ask for some leeks in person, and when she came back, she scrambled eggs for the second uncle to eat, but was rejected.

After knocking on the door, he wanted to exchange tea, but Yang Xiaotao refused. He also said that their family did not lack this, and the second uncle had so much money a month, so don't take advantage.

The second aunt came back angrily and told the story again in an exaggerated tone.

"Yes, no face at all."

"How can I go out in this courtyard?"

As the second aunt said, she could think of the person chewing her tongue behind her back, and her whole heart was filled with depression.

"Little beast, I hammered him."

The grumpy Liu Haizhong was about to pick up a hammer and go talk, but as soon as he went out, his eldest son Liu Guangqi pulled him back.

"Dad, you'd better not go."

Liu Guangtian on the side also came over to persuade, "Yes, Dad. Yang Xiaotao is so powerful, you can't beat him!"

"Yeah, I couldn't beat him last time."

Liu Guangfu also whispered from behind.

Liu Hai felt distressed and dizzy, "You two, get out of here!"

Liu Guangqi also glanced at his two younger brothers.

"You two, stop talking sarcastically. Don't you know that dad is angry?"

"Get out of here now."

Liu Guangtian pulled Liu Guangfu, glanced at Liu Guangqi's back unkindly, and then hurried to the house.

"Dad, we don't need to get involved in this matter. Many people in the yard have not experienced the benefits. Those people are more anxious than us."

Liu Guangqi took the hammer out of Liu Haizhong's hand and said.

Liu Haizhong understood the meaning of Liu Guangqi's words, and then looked towards the middle courtyard.

After a long silence, I thought of Yang Xiaotao's recent strength. It was really hard to say who would beat whom.

"Then just wait, this debt is not over yet!"

Yi Zhonghai approached Yang Xiaotao's compound with the expectant eyes of many people.

Yang Xiaotao was sitting on a stool, thinking about something.

Just now, the second aunt brought something and wanted to exchange it for leeks, but Yang Xiaotao refused.

He didn't deliberately target the second uncle, of course there was part of the reason for this.

The most important thing is, if everyone in the courtyard comes to exchange, what is the difference between that and speculation?

If it is only for a certain kind of person, then you can use help to explain it away, and others will see that it is OK.

Of course, be prepared for a rainy day. In his previous life, Yang Xiaotao had experienced a lot in the workplace. Although the folk customs in this era were simple and honest, there were still a few animals that could not be kept intact, let alone in this courtyard full of animals.

thump thump thump

A knock on the door interrupted Yang Xiaotao's thoughts.

"who?"

He subconsciously said something, and Yi Zhonghai's voice immediately came from the door.

Yang Xiaotao lowered his head and thought about it, and guessed Yi Zhonghai's intention.

"Just make things clear and save yourself the trouble."

After getting up and opening the door, Yi Zhonghai was about to enter with a smile on his face.

Yang Xiaotao stood at the door, "Master, what do you want to do here?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned when he saw that Yang Xiaotao didn't let him in, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile.

"Xiao Tao, I see that you are willing to help the people in the courtyard. As the master in charge of the courtyard, I am very happy and relieved."

"When your father was still alive, he was a warm-hearted person. If the neighbors were in trouble, he should just go and help."

"Seeing you like this now, you have lived up to your father's upbringing."

Yi Zhonghai said as if reminiscing or feeling emotional, but I didn't notice the disgust on Yang Xiaotao's face.

He doesn't care who the father of this body is. He is alive now. What's more, he knows from his predecessor that Yang's father has been lying in bed for more than two months. In addition to Uncle Chen's house, several workers in the factory often help. Has anyone come over to take a look?

Not to mention donations, in their eyes, the compensation Father Yang received was enough to envy them.

Therefore, when Yi Zhonghai used Yang's father as an example, not only did he not arouse Yang Xiaotao's favor, but he was somewhat disgusted.

"The people in our hospital are all kind-hearted, considerate, united and friendly people. If we can help each other, our lives will definitely be better in the future!"

Yi Zhonghai was smiling and talking.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao couldn't listen anymore and said directly, "Master, just tell me what happened."

"My father has been lying in bed for so long and not many people have come to visit, let alone donate."

"You yourself know the truth of this matter. Don't blame our ancestors. I'm going to cook. If you have anything to say, just say it."

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he felt uncomfortable. He said his feelings for himself, but this kid didn't listen at all.

But when he thought about Lao Yang's time, he felt a little timid.

However, he was the kind of person who kept things in his heart. His face remained calm and his eyes were narrowed, but he continued to preach to Yang Xiaotao.

"Xiao Tao, since you are willing to help the people in the yard, you must treat them equally. Also, these people are selfless, how can they ask for other people's things?"

"So, I say to you, you must open up the situation. Helping people is such a noble thing, but you can't tarnish the simplicity of the people."

Yi Zhonghai spoke sincerely, but Yang Xiaotao laughed.

"Master, Yi Zhonghai. Have you finished speaking?"

Yi Zhonghai looked angry. How many times had Yang Xiaotao called his name?

"Yang Xiaotao, don't be so self-righteous."

"Haha, I'm self-righteous, okay, Yi Zhonghai, please stop criticizing me."

Yang Xiaotao spoke loudly, and the entire middle courtyard could hear clearly. Many people walked out of the door and looked here.

This is exactly what Yang Xiaotao wants. Only with more people can things be explained clearly.

"What are you talking about about helping people in the compound? Then I'll tell you, there are some people in our compound that I will help, but there are some people who I won't even kill."

"It's just you, Yi Zhonghai, who pays ninety-nine yuan a month. How dare you come here to ask for something?"

"Of those over seventy years old with bangs, which one doesn't live a more prosperous life than the people in the courtyard?"

"And the Jia family, that old woman is fat and white, is she someone who can't afford to eat?"

"Don't talk about treating everyone equally. You should straighten your butt first and help those who need help. Don't think about scheming others all day long."

boom

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he closed the door, not giving Yi Zhonghai a chance to speak.

Yi Zhonghai's face was livid. He looked at the door and the comments coming from around him. He raised his head and snorted coldly, then turned and left.
