Scholars in the courtyard

Hearing Ran Qiuye's inquiry, Yang Xiaotao smiled bitterly.

I didn't say anything last night because I was afraid that Ran Qiuye would be worried, but now.

Paper cannot contain the fire, what should be known will still be known.

Sitting on the stool, Yang Xiaotao got a glass of water for Ran Qiuye, and then started talking.

Ran Qiuye listened carefully, holding the cup in his hand from time to time.

It took a long time for Yang Xiaotao to finish speaking, but the worry and shock on Ran Qiuye's face had not faded.

"Alas, many people can no longer stand up."

Yang Xiaotao took out the blood-red bullet from his chest with a sad expression on his face.

Ran Qiuye held Yang Xiaotao's hand, her hands were cold and she was speechless for a moment.

I was very scared of what happened to my husband, and I knew how dangerous it was at that time. I was even more deeply worried, for fear of what might happen.

Yang Xiaotao held Ran Qiuye's hand with his backhand, "It's okay, I'm not okay!"

Ran Qiuye's eyes were filled with tears, but she nodded with a smile.

After some consolation, Yang Xiaotao also regained his energy, thinking of the honor he had received this time, just in time to show it to Ran Qiuye.

"Come."

Yang Xiaotao walked aside and said, "Look out, this time it will be a fruitful harvest!"

Ran's mother heard the commotion and came over with Duanwu in her arms, and everyone watched.

Walking aside, Yang Xiaotao began to take out the items one by one.

First, the things I brought back.

A piece of wolf skin, although smaller, can make a wolf skin mattress, which is comfortable to use in winter.

It was originally two pieces, and I wanted to give the larger one to my grandfather, but now I can only give the remaining one.

A jar of wine, a gift from Zhang Laodao.

Along the way, Yang Xiaotao was precious, for fear of being smashed.

Yang Xiaotao originally wanted to drink this when he was with Ran Qiuye, but now it seems that he can only save it for next year.

In addition, there are also gifts from ‘students’.

Yang Xiaotao made it clear to several people that Xiao Duanwu was holding the corn made of bullet casings and pulling it back and forth, and wanted to put it in his mouth to bite.

The little guy already has three little teeth, and he wants to take a bite of everything he catches.

Ran's mother hugged him quickly.

Yang Xiaotao placed another certificate and medal on the table.

Ran Qiuye and Ran's mother suddenly widened their eyes as they looked at it.

Even they have heard of certificates and medals for first-class personal merit.

Anyone who gets this thing will have unimaginable benefits for themselves and their family.

Of course, these are invisible benefits.

Now, with this medal, if Yang Xiaotao wears it and walks on the road, he will instantly get a lot of envious eyes.

Ran Qiuye happily put away the certificate and medal box.

Yang Xiaotao picked up another box from his backpack. It looked very ordinary and had no special instructions, but Yang Xiaotao was extra careful.

The box opened to reveal a winged bullet casing.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao valued it more than the first-class merit medal, Ran Qiuye understood that this thing was not simple.

"Daughter-in-law, this is such a good thing that even my uncle is jealous of it."

Ran Qiuye rolled his eyes after hearing this.

However, after Yang Xiaotao's explanation, he understood that the quantity of these things was less than that of first-class merit.

And in one area, the weight is heavier.

"These should be kept carefully."

Yang Xiaotao explained specifically, and Ran Qiuye nodded.

As there were more and more precious things at home, Ran Qiuye bought a lock to lock the things in the cabinet.

Not only that, there is also a steel piece inside the cabinet. If you want to open the cabinet, you can only reach out from the side and lift the steel piece upwards, so that you can pull it out smoothly.

After sorting out the harvest, Yang Xiaotao talked about his days on the farm again.

Of course, the tragic battle was not mentioned.

Under the current sunshine, there can be no darkness at all, no powerful horse bandits, and the people will always be the victor.

This is what Yang Xiaotao told Ran's mother. The horse bandits appeared and were annihilated without any damage to themselves.

Ran Qiuye nodded aside, Ran's mother smiled and sighed from time to time.

Then when they talked about their meeting last night, both mother and daughter covered their mouths in disbelief.

"Xiao Tao, have you really seen it?"

"Yes, yes, we have dinner together. The old man is sitting on my right, and we even shook hands."

As Yang Xiaotao narrated, the mother and daughter looked at Yang Xiaotao with jealous eyes. They were eating together, so why didn't they say a few more words? See you a little longer?

Both of them look like they hate iron, even if they are her son-in-law (lover).

Seeing how the two of them looked, Yang Xiaotao asked Ran Qiuye to put away the things, and then he went out to buy groceries on his bicycle.

Stay away from the place of right and wrong.

At noon, Yang Xiaotao peeled a pot of potatoes, cut them into pieces, cooked them in a pot with ribs, and borrowed the pot next door to make a bunch of pot stickers.

Almost half of the food stored at home was used up.

Originally, Yang Xiaotao wanted to buy some meat to make braised pork for the children, but what happened last night touched him a lot.

Diligent and thrifty in housekeeping, hardworking and simple.

This is not only a behavior, but also a state of mind.

So, Yang Xiaotao gave up the big fish and meat treat and bought some spareribs that no one else bought.

This made Uncle Yan who came to visit feel distressed.

Who spends money to buy bones these days? If you have money, buy fat meat.

Just buy it if you want. So many ribs cost a lot of money. I ate them all in one go, but there was meat on them. If I cut them off, I would be half a catty.

And the noodles used are all good quality noodles, much more delicious than stick noodles.

Yan Fugui was talking about being a prodigal, having money and not knowing how to live, but in his heart he was thinking about whether he should continue to persuade Yang Xiaotao to "do business" with his family in exchange for more stick noodles.

Yan Fugui watched for a while, smelled the smell of stewed pork ribs, his stomach growled, and he hurried home to drink some porridge.

But before leaving the Chuihua Gate, someone called Yan Laosan from behind. Looking back, it was Jia Zhang.

Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang with her nostrils turned upward, she stopped him and stood there waiting for him to pass.

Yan Fugui narrowed his eyes, turned around and left.

This old godly woman is definitely not good at finding him.

The Jia family's business is like a shit basin. If you get close to it, you'll get stink.

Be sure to stay far away.

Jia Zhang was stunned when she saw Yan Fugui running away.

"Okay, okay! One by one, no longer be human!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang stood in the middle courtyard and kept yelling, which made the people in the courtyard unhappy. After scolding for a while, she turned around and went home.

She saw that after Yang Xiaotao came back, she could only live with her tail between her legs!

"Wash your hands and eat!"

Yang Xiaotao shouted at the door with a spoon, and a group of crazy children ran into the house under the shouts of adults.

Ran Qiuye was on the side directing the queue to wash hands, and did not forget to invite Wang Xiaohu and the others to come and eat together.

Yang Xiaotao has done a lot, not least of which is this one.

Wang Xiaohu, however, remembered his family's advice, shook his head, and ran home quickly.

The same goes for other children in the courtyard. They all know that food is precious these days and no one is rich.

A group of children ran away. In the yard, Banggong held the ice skates and stared at them for a while, smelling the bone soup, and his eyes were filled with longing.

Yang Xiaotao greeted everyone to eat. As soon as the pot was opened, the aroma was fragrant.

Bangge stood there for a long time, until laughter came from the room, then he swallowed hard and walked home.

Now that he has grown up, he understands some things.

You know your own situation.

I won’t go home and clamor for this or that like before.

Because he knew that even if he argued again, it would be useless.

The family has no money to buy meat.

Therefore, if you want to eat meat, you can only rely on yourself.

Children from poor families have already become masters, not to mention Jia Geng, who is deeply influenced by a "good" education?

When I got home, I picked up my cloth bag, took two steamed buns from the pot, and turned around to go out.

If it doesn’t work in the courtyard, then go buy some noodles.

Bangge looked back at the courtyard with determination in his single eye.

The Yang family is eating here and will send the children home in the afternoon.

In the steel rolling mill, Yang Youning hung up the phone. He had just greeted Yangjiazhuang and arranged for a car to be sent back in the afternoon. When he hung up the phone, there was already shouting on the other end.

"cockroach!"

"Director."

Xiaoqiang, who was on call at any time, ran over. A series of measures since Director Wang took office have put him, the secretary of the factory director, under great pressure.

Well now, the rolling mill is back on track.

"Are the logistics preparations ready?"

"Director, twelve sets of towels, sheets, and thermoses are all ready. They are being loaded into the truck."

"Okay, you are personally responsible for this matter, and nothing can go wrong."

"Yes, I'll go and watch right now."

"Well, I'll let Master Zhang argue about the dishes later."

"good!"

"Wait a minute, let's fry one."

"Um."

"Just vegetarian food."

"good!"

Secretary Xiaoqiang left, and Yang Youning picked up the phone again, "Hey, Lao Liu, haha."

…

At the logistics warehouse, Lou Xiao'e was counting the number of items.

Although Wang Fuhan fell, the work arranged during his tenure remained unchanged.

As long as there is no notice, she will continue to work here.

However, the workers around him no longer had the cold stares of the past, but instead had more smiles.

The warehouse managers came over to greet me from time to time, putting their previous hostility behind them.

These people all know that after Wang Fuhan was overthrown and Director Yang returned to power, the steel rolling mill would not be said to have returned to its original state, but it would definitely not be what it is now.

What's more, there is Yang Xiaotao.

As the center of the whirlpool of this incident, Wang Fuhan and his two men fell on it.

According to some previous research, Lou Xiao'e was the one talking about capitalists and lifestyle issues.

At first everyone thought this was the case, but many people changed their perspective. What man could resist such a good opportunity?

What's more, Lou Xiao'e is not too old, and her figure is not bad. The important thing is that the young lady raised by the capitalist family has more flavor than the girl from the ordinary family.

At least if they change their identities and look at Yang Xiaotao's perspective, many men know in their hearts that they will definitely fall in.

Later, after a lot of trouble, the rumors were finally refuted and the two were proven innocent.

But many people were implicated in this matter, including Liu Haizhong, who was expelled from the factory and sent to a labor camp.

The remaining ones, although the results have not come out, are still on tenterhooks for fear of being liquidated.

So now, no one wants to provoke Lou Xiaoe anymore.

After all, there are things that cannot be explained clearly. What you say exists and I say doesn’t exist, maybe it will happen someday.

In other words, it already exists, it is just necessary for the position.

"Xiao'e!"

Lou Xiao'e, who was working, suddenly heard someone calling her, and turned around to see Liu Yulan running over.

"Yulan, why are you here?"

"Come on, let's go eat when it's time."

Liu Yulan didn't say much, just pulled Lou Xiao'e and walked out.

"Just wait a moment while I put my things down."

Lou Xiao'e said, quickly packed her things and tidied her clothes before coming over.

"Come on, I'll treat you to dinner today."

"What's wrong? Is there anything good that can't happen?"

"Hey, Brother Tao is back."

Liu Yulan whispered that this matter had not spread yet. She only found out about it when she came back from her parents' house in the morning. Last night, her whole family went to dinner for her father's birthday and stayed overnight.

"came back!"

Lou Xiao'e took a deep breath and spoke lightly.

I wasn't particularly excited, but I felt much more relaxed.

That man is back, and she doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

"Yeah, but there are a lot of things going on in the past two days, so I guess I won't report on it for a while."

"Xiao'e, if you keep insisting, wait until Brother Tao comes back and ask him to transfer you back."

Lou Xiao'e didn't speak, just nodded.

She doesn't care where she works. Her current job is quite good and she is fulfilled every day.

However, it would be best to follow Yang Xiaotao.

"When you get off work, come with me to see the Little Dragon Boat Festival. This kid can already crawl, but he's crawling backwards."

"My Xiaoyu..."

The two chatted and laughed and walked towards the cafeteria.

Further away, when Zhou Kui, Zhou Peng and others heard that Yang Xiaotao was back, they all had smiles on their faces, as if they had found a backbone.
