Scholars in the courtyard

The aroma in the courtyard was fragrant, and it happened to be lunch time. Many people were tempted by the aroma and became greedy.

Then he started to curse.

You can smell it but you can't eat it, which is the most uncomfortable thing.

Jia Dongxu pinched the steamed bun in his hand, took a sip of the soup, and swallowed it with difficulty.

"Damn little beast, he eats meat every day and doesn't know how to help us poor people! He's so damned."

Mrs. Jia Zhang threw the wowotou on the table and gritted her teeth angrily.

Qin Huairu was eating with her head down, her expression unreadable, but the doughnuts in her hands had been crushed to pieces.

"This third aunt has no eyesight either. For such a bastard to say anything about his wife, isn't that pushing someone into a pit of fire?"

Jia Dongxu interjected. In his opinion, it was best for no one in the entire courtyard to marry a wife. Even if he did marry a wife, she would not be as good-looking as Qin Huairu.

Mrs. Jia Zhang nodded when she heard this, but she still inhaled hard through her nose, trying to make the steamed buns in her mouth more fragrant.

"Dongxu, you must be promoted to Level 2 this year. Then we will eat meat every day."

Jia Zhang said longingly, and Qin Huairu on the side also raised his head, full of expectation.

Not surprisingly, their family will have a new member this year.

One more person, one more mouth.

Jia Dongxu also nodded vigorously, "Don't worry. The master said that my ability is no problem at level two."

Then he looked at his wife and said, "When I learn the master's skills, our family will be able to eat meat for as many children as they want."

"Hahaha"

Mrs. Jia Zhang smiled from ear to ear, as if she saw her son becoming an eighth-level fitter, earning one hundred yuan a month, and envied the beautiful scene of everyone in the death hospital.

Qin Huairu also smiled, and she had a promising future.

The third man in the front yard walked to the door carrying a palm-sized crucian carp, and smelled a scent.

Thinking about tonight's fish soup, it suddenly lost its flavor.

"Third aunt is here?"

Hearing what the third aunt said, Yan Fugui was a little silent.

His Yan Jiecheng is also old, but the family cannot bear the trouble.

"We will consider this matter in the long run!"

Yan Fugui ignored Yan Jiecheng's expectations, but he was thinking about how to find a good-looking wife with the least money.

It is best not to need a betrothal gift but to bring your own dowry.

The bangs in the backyard also muttered to the second aunt, "It's time to find a marriage for Guangqi."

In the Xu family, Xu's mother sat aside and looked at Xu Damao, "I went to find Lou's mother today, and her Xiao'e is also looking for someone to marry. You have to be careful and don't get confused recently."

Xu Damao said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, mother, I still understand this."

"When the time comes, we will be able to live a good life if we marry the daughter of the Lou family."

Xu Damao thought about the Lou Xiao'e he saw secretly. Although her appearance was a little worse than Qin Huairu's, her family was definitely better than the Qin family.

With the Lou family's money, Xu Damao will be the richest person in this courtyard from now on.

Greedy to death, silly column.

Thinking of this, Xu Damao laughed.

"This? This person is...?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at a bunch of photos on the table, all of which looked like young girls.

Sangu was very satisfied with this meal. Even during the Chinese New Year, she had never had such a meal.

What I found out from Uncle Chen is that you can usually eat this at Yang Xiaotao's house.

This also allowed her to see the Yang family's wealth. Of course, she also felt in her heart that this must be related to the efforts of the older generation.

However, Yang Xiaotao has become a second-level fitter at such a young age, and there is only one person in the family, so there is no burden, so this kind of life is reasonable.

From now on, when there is a mistress in the house, all she has to do is take care of the house, and everyone who comes will enjoy it.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao looked at the girl in the photo, her smiling face looked familiar.

"This."

The third aunt squinted her eyes and said, "You are really discerning. This is the eldest lady of the Lou family. She has reached the right age this year. How do you think? Do you like her?"

"Lou's family?"

"The director of the steel rolling mill, Lou Bancheng's daughter, Lou Xiao'e?"

Yang Xiaotao immediately shouted out. He looked so familiar. Isn't the photo in front of him the same as Lou Xiao'e when he was young?

It was still several years before the plot of the TV series started. Lou Xiao'e had been married to Xu Damao for several years by then. The hardships of life had long since turned the girl into a young woman. Her appearance was still gorgeous, but her smile was missing.

Now Lou Xiao'e is even younger and more beautiful.

Perhaps, in terms of temperament, he is better than Qin Huairu.

Yang Xiaotao's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about whether to give it a try.

Lou Xiao'e was originally at the top of his list of candidates. Since he can live here in the TV series, he can definitely adapt to it in reality.

This is important, otherwise life will only get worse under siege by a group of beasts.

Secondly, Xu Damao is a bad person. If you marry Xu Damao, you will be in a pit of fire.

Not only does Lou Xiaoe lose her sexual happiness, but the Lou family will also suffer.

Being able to deal with Xu Damao, Yang Xiaotao will never be soft-hearted.

However, the composition of the Lou family is a problem.

Yang Xiaotao looked at Lou Xiao'e's innocent face, but he still hadn't made up his mind. Uncle Chen on the side blushed and came over. Hearing that it was the Lou family, he curled his lips, "The daughter of a capitalist?"

"Xiao Tao, you have to think carefully about it. Your family is a poor farmer for three generations. You can't just do it casually."

These days, the poorer you are, the more glorious you are, and the third aunt on the side has to think about it.

This is also the reason why the photo of the eldest daughter of the Lou family appeared in her hand.

The Lou family also wants to take this opportunity to clear their identity as a capitalist. It is best to find someone with good background who can clear their name.

The worst is to let Lou Xiaoe find a good one, so as not to be implicated when settling accounts in the future.

Yang Xiaotao smiled freely after hearing this.

"Regardless of the ingredients, as long as he has the motherland in his heart, he is also a patriotic businessman."

"The fact that the Lou family is now able to contribute a steel rolling mill to national construction means that their status has been confirmed by the authorities. We don't have to worry about this."

Yang Xiaotao was speaking to the Lou family. Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen looked at each other and knew they were attracted by him.

"Okay, then you have to hurry up. It's best to have a son next year and contribute to the country as soon as possible!"

Uncle Chen said with a smile, knowing in his heart that even if something happened to the Lou family, it would not be a big deal considering that Yang Xiaotao, the son of a martyr, a working class person, and a third-generation poor peasant.

Sangu smiled and put away the photo.

"Now that I'm optimistic about it, I'll go talk about it and earn money so that you can meet as soon as possible."

"Okay, then I have to thank Third Aunt. When things are done, I will give you a big red envelope!"

"Haha, I'm looking forward to drinking your wedding wine!"

The two talked for a while, and then Yang Xiaotao sent Sangu out. Before leaving, he also carried half a pound of pork and a bag of tomatoes, which made Sangu politely greet her, but she felt happy.

At night, Yang Xiaotao was lying on the bed, and Xiaowei was doing somersaults on her stomach, thinking about the Lou family.

"What are you afraid of? In the worst case, we can go together!"

Thinking of what might happen in the future, Yang Xiaotao didn't have much nostalgia for the courtyard house in Sijiu City, not to mention that he was just leaving. When he came back when it was open to the public, the house would still be his.

Moreover, if you go to Hong Kong at this time, you will have more opportunities.

With the system, our foresight, and these platforms, the future will only be better.

Thoughts were flying in my mind, and I fell into a deep sleep after a while.

In the next few days, Yang Xiaotao continued to commute to get off work.

At this time, the weather was getting warmer, major construction was going on across the country, and the demand for steel workpieces increased sharply.

This is the case across the country. Steel rolling mills have more and more tasks and workers are getting busier and busier.

Sometimes, the required workpieces are so urgent that Yang Xiaotao has to work overtime to complete them.

However, this kind of work not only does not disgust the workers, but also makes them feel honored to contribute to the construction of the motherland.

In this way, until the Saturday break, San Gu finally came to the door.

Only then did Yang Xiaotao remember that there was a blind date.

I've been so busy these days. I go to bed after dinner when I get home, and even my time for reading has been compressed.

"Xiao Tao, let's meet at the park at noon. You can quickly pack up."

The third aunt had a smile on her face. The things she brought back last time improved the family's food for several days.

"Hey, okay, I'll be there in a minute."

Yang Xiaotao felt happy thinking that he was about to meet Lou Xiao'e.

After seeing off the third aunt, he quickly fetched water, boiled it, washed his hair, shaved off his beard, and found some unpatched clothes. He thought about it again and took out a pack of White Rabbit toffee from the space. This was something he paid for. bought.

When the time was almost up, I went out and walked to the park.

Passing by the door of Jia's house, Mrs. Jia and Zhang looked askance at her, spitting feces from her mouth.

Yang Xiaotao ignored her and walked to the door in a few steps.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jia Zhang became even more angry and cursed even more happily.

"Mom, please stop saying a few words. Everyone is gone and you can't hear me anymore."

Qin Huairu was cooking, and it was a bit difficult to hold her stomach up. Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't come to help, she spoke a little stiffly.

"Hmph. Dressed up so neatly, let's go on a blind date."

"I curse you to find a pockmarked woman and you will die!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang continued to curse, but Qin Huairu looked at the door, the spatula in her hand making a snapping sound.

Yang Xiaotao got on the bus and came to the park. When he saw a pair of young people inside, he felt inexplicably excited.

This is an era where once you meet in person, as long as both parties agree, you can get the certificate the next day.

After walking in the park for a while, I saw San Gu leading a girl from afar.

The girl is wearing a light blue bragi, small leather shoes, two small braids on her head, hanging down to her shoulders, a small round face, peach blossom eyes, and she looks sunny and lively.

The two came closer and stood together.

Third aunt came over and took Lou Xiao'e's hand.

"Xiao Tao, this is Comrade Lou Xiao'e!"

Yang Xiaotao looked at Lou Xiao'e's shy look, and his heart trembled, and he quickly reached out his hand, "Hello, I am a worker in the steel rolling mill, Yang Xiaotao, you can call me Xiaotao."

Lou Xiao'e looked at the big boy in front of her with a look of shame on her face.

This was her first blind date. Before she came out, her mother specifically told her not to make a decision in a hurry, but to be careful and careful. Marriage is not a child's play and cannot be taken carelessly.

Previously, she also knew some information about Yang Xiaotao from her third aunt. She was alone in the family. Her mother died young and her father sacrificed his life to protect the country's property. Now he is a second-level fitter in the steel rolling mill, with a monthly salary of 33.5 yuan. I heard that he is still in the yard. If you grow vegetables, it will not be a problem to feed your family.

He also works well in the workshop and is down-to-earth and so on.

I originally thought he would be an honest and friendly man, but now it seems that this man is tall, has a gentle look on his face, and is quite handsome no matter how you look at it.

Although the clothes on her body are not new, they are very clean, and her face is also neat and tidy. She looks young, sunny and enthusiastic.

"Hello, my name is Lou Xiao'e!"

Saying that, I put both hands together.

At this moment, it was like an electric shock, wrapping the two of them instantly.
