Scholars in the courtyard

In the room, Xu's mother tried to calm down.

Just now, she carefully hid behind and listened to the two people talking.

Although he didn't listen to everything, Qin Huairu still listened to some of what he said.

Especially the meaning behind the words clearly meant that Qin Jingru was lying.

No wonder Damao came home overnight and asked her to come to the courtyard to have a look. He must have thought of something.

However, Xu's mother could keep her composure, knowing that this was just Qin Huairu's family's words and she couldn't believe it all.

Especially someone like Qin Huairu, who was able to eat well in the courtyard and could only believe a third of what he said.

Just like just now, the look in his eyes and his words after entering the door made it clear that he wanted food at home.

Although I am embarrassed to say it directly, this is what I mean implicitly.

Such a woman really needs to think carefully about what she says.

squeak

The door was pushed open.

Qin Jingru walked in with a smile on her face, "Mom, have you finished eating?"

"Well, I'm done eating."

Xu's mother smiled. No matter what, until it was confirmed that it was fake, Qin Jingru was still her daughter-in-law, and the child in her belly was also the blood of their family.

"Jingru, your cousin is not easy to get along with. You need to be more careful."

"Mom, don't worry."

Speaking of this, Qin Jingru patted her chest, "She and I grew up in the same village. I don't know who she is?"

"I used to be familiar with this good one in the village. That's when I saw the benefits. When I saw the better one, I immediately joined them."

"What's more important is that her mouth is very good at talking. Even though people have suffered a loss, they still don't feel it, and they all say good things about her."

"I've known this kind of person for a long time. As long as you don't listen to what she says, it's useless what she says."

Qin Jingru pouted and said proudly.

In my heart, I was actually more jealous.

This cousin of hers has always been the one who has dominated her since she was little. In the eyes of the elderly, her parents and her peers, they all prefer Qin Huairu to Qin Jingru. Even when they compare each other, she is the one who falls behind.

It's better now. She, Qin Jingru, is also from the city, and her future life will definitely be better than that of Qin Huairu, a widow.

When I go home during the Chinese New Year, I will have more dignity.

Qin Jingru thought about it, and Xu's mother also thought in her heart that Qin Jingru was also a dog, so she needed to be fawned over, but not to show her teeth.

However, such a daughter-in-law can look after the house without any disadvantage.

"Jingru, how long have you been here? Count the days for mom."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were sitting on the bedside talking quietly. Qin Jingru blushed with rare shame, "Count the days, let's go to September or October this year."

Xu's mother nodded in her heart. This was similar to what Xu Damao told her, and she believed Qin Jingru was pregnant.

However, you still need to check.

"This woman's pregnancy is a big deal, especially her first child..."

When Xu's mother talked about her pregnancy, Qin Jingru listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

The two talked for a while, and Xu's mother suddenly said, "Mom will go with you tomorrow to see if there is anything missing. You must take good care of this grandson!"

"okay!"

Qin Jingru agreed wholeheartedly, thinking that in the future she would be able to eat delicious food like Ran Qiuye!

Intermediate Court

Qin Huairu's face turned blue with anger and she walked quickly home.

After walking a few steps, I saw a figure pushing a bicycle.

The winter night came early, it was only five o'clock, and the sun could no longer be seen. At this time, everyone was working in the afterglow, not willing to turn on the lights.

Seeing the figure, the bicycle, and the two objects hanging on the handlebars, Qin Huairu immediately recognized who it was.

And as the figure got closer, he could see clearly what was hanging on the car.

Two big pig heads.

Each one is as big as a washbasin, with big ears twitching and glaring eyes. The snow-white flesh looks particularly tender.

Although it’s a bit scary, pig heads are full of meat!

What's more, it's two at a time. How much does it cost, how many votes!

I am so willing to do this for my wife!

Suddenly, Qin Huairu's heart ached.

Seeing the two pig heads passing by, Qin Huairu, whose face was ashen, couldn't help but speak, her voice low and rapid, like a memory, but also like an admission of mistake.

"Xiao Tao, no, Director Yang!"

Yang Xiaotao deliberately left the factory early today just for these two pig heads.

The day after tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, and Yang Xiaotao plans to take Ran Qiuye to Yangjiazhuang to celebrate the New Year. When the New Year comes, they will be in Sijiu City, so there is no need to travel back and forth.

Of course, this time I want to pick up my grandfather.

Anyway, it is convenient to have a jeep.

So these two pig heads were specially left by him to ask Wang Dashan to say hello to the slaughterhouse.

I got a call this afternoon and went to get it back.

Although it cost a little money, it is priceless and cannot be purchased by ordinary people.

What's more, the director of the slaughterhouse also sent some pigs to the water. These things were difficult to handle, so Yang Xiaotao put them in the space.

These days, there aren’t as many tools and seasonings as in later generations, and if you weren’t a professional chef, you really wouldn’t know how to cook.

The so-called braised cooking is not something that just anyone can do.

In the past, if no one took care of those pigs in the water, they would have to throw them away and go to waste.

Of course, this is not difficult for Yang Xiaotao.

Hearing Qin Huairu's voice, Yang Xiaotao frowned, but did not stop.

At this moment, he knew what this woman was planning without even thinking about it.

Besides, after so many years, the two of them have long been unrelated. What can they do if they get together now?

Yang Xiaotao couldn't think of anything else other than building connections so he could take advantage.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao had no intention of stopping, Qin Huairu felt disappointed.

"You can't..."

Before she finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao had already distanced herself, not giving her a chance to finish.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao walk into the yard, Qin Huairu slowly closed her mouth, lowered her head and walked home.

In my heart, I hate Yang Xiaotao's ruthlessness, hate his small-mindedness, hate that he is so stingy despite being so developed...

Back home, Mrs. Jia Zhang looked disgusted.

From the window, I saw Qin Huairu coming back with ten fingers, and I immediately understood that she didn't get anything.

"Let me tell you, your cousin is a white-eyed wolf. She has forgotten about us in just a short time."

"People like this are not worth helping at all."

Jia Zhang said angrily.

In her eyes, if she is weak, poor, and incompetent, she should get help from others, and if she is strong, wealthy, and capable, then she should be helped.

Therefore, after she finally helped someone else, she should be rewarded for her hard work.

But now, it is obvious that the calculation was wrong.

"Don't worry, this paper can't contain the fire."

Qin Huairu sat aside angrily and started to light the fire and cook, "As for what she did, it won't take long for her to be exposed. By then, if she wants to avoid being driven back to her hometown, she will have to come and beg us!"

Jia Zhang listened and nodded with a smile.

"Huairu, you did a good job in this matter."

"This can't be true. Now that she's so arrogant, she'll cry one day."

Jia Zhang said, sitting back on the bed and looking at the little Sophora japonica.

Qin Huairu continued to cook on the side, but two big pig heads always appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.

Yang family.

When the lights in the yard were turned on, Ran Qiuye was surprised to see Yang Xiaotao stop the car and get out carrying two pig heads.

Ran's mother came to help and took the pig's head back to the house.

"Buy so much?"

Ran Qiuye asked curiously, and Yang Xiaotao nodded, "The day after tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, we will spend it with Grandpa in Yangjiazhuang, and by the way, we will pick him up to celebrate the New Year together."

"Master, can you come?"

"That's for sure. If you don't come, let the Dragon Boat Festival cause trouble!"

"How can you let your son take the lead?"

"Haha. Isn't this a kiss from another generation?"

Yang Xiaotao said that he had actually wanted to move his grandfather up for a long time. At least the heater at home was on and it would be warm.

Unlike in the countryside, you still have to burn firewood, which is inconvenient for one person.

Ran Qiuye also knew about Mr. Yang's condition, and Yang Xiaotao was thinking of taking him to the hospital for a checkup in two days.

"Well, when there are more people in our house, it will be more lively."

Ran Qiuye said happily, and Yang Xiaotao also laughed.

Ran's mother will not go back this year, mainly because she is worried about Ran Qiuye, her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and some things are more convenient for women.

"Yes, our family will be even more lively next year."

Yang Xiaotao glanced at Ran Qiuye's belly, and then at the little Dragon Boat Festival crawling around on the bed holding a chicken feather blanket.

"It's none of your business!"

Ran Qiuye thought of something and rolled her eyes at Yang Xiaotao. For the sake of her family and her children, she hadn't gone back to school for a long time. She felt so bored staying in this courtyard all day.

"That's because you're too beautiful to hold back."

Yang Xiaotao came closer and whispered.

"Don't be so close, mom is still here!"

"Understood, tonight!"

"Pooh!"

The next day, Yang Xiaotao woke up feeling refreshed.

Looking at his sleeping wife, he felt as if he would come back after all his money was spent.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Ran Qiuye got up soon and looked at Yang Xiaotao with reproachful eyes.

"Mom, the steel rolling mill is delivering New Year's goods today. I'll come back to see you off later."

Ran's mother, who was cooking, shook her head after hearing this, "Just go about your business and don't worry about us. It's just a few steps, just walk back."

"fine!"

After eating, Yang Xiaotao drove out in the car. Liu Yulan sent Xiao Yu over, and Ran Qiuye stepped forward to hold her and help watch.

In the yard, Zhou Kui was waiting on his bicycle with a naive smile on his face. Yang Xiaotao had already talked to him. At this meeting of the steel rolling mill, he was rated as a second-level outstanding worker in the workshop. Not to mention rewards, just With this honor, there are only a hundred people in the entire steel rolling mill.

Originally, according to the habit of previous years, outstanding workshops were selected every year. Each workshop selected outstanding groups and advanced individuals. Basically the same routine.

Steel rolling mills are different now. They used to be ordinary workshops, and they all did the same work, so it was clear at a glance who did more and who did better.

But now that there are workshops 11 and 11, it is no longer suitable according to the previous standards, so Yang Youning discussed with Chen Gong and the others and decided to change the reward.

First of all, the selection of outstanding workshops will be cancelled, and three outstanding teams will be rewarded in each workshop.

Secondly, individual rewards are divided into three levels. The first level is for first-level outstanding workers, one for each workshop and department. The second level is for second-level outstanding workers, with ten people in each workshop, and other departments are selected on a ratio of one to ten. The third level is the third-level outstanding workers, fifty in each workshop, and other departments are selected in a ratio of one to five.

In this way, more people can receive rewards.

Not long after, Ran Qiuye carried Xiaoyu into the house. Even though Xiaoyu was a few months younger than Duanwu, the girl was nimble and was already playing with Duanwu.

After settling the children, Zhou Kui took Liu Yulan and followed Yang Xiaotao towards the steel rolling mill.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the door, they heard excited voices coming from the radio, and people around them had smiles on their faces.

"Dear comrades workers, please pay attention. Today our steel rolling mill will hold this year's employee recognition meeting."

People who heard the sound stopped and listened to the broadcast. Even the workers who were already at their posts stopped their machines and prepared to hold a meeting under the greetings of the workers beside them.

“We Steel Rolling has prepared a total of four commendation projects for this conference.”

In the radio station, Yu Haitang looked at the letter in his hand, feeling lost.

After tossing and turning, I have been in this steel rolling mill for three years, and I can say that I have accomplished nothing, and the rewards above are not available to me.

After reading each item, Yu Haitang felt that it was boring, but she had to read it to the end.

By the time I read it three times, the steel rolling mill was already boiling.

Although there is no clear explanation of the rewards, so many rewards are much more powerful than usual.

Some people are even well-informed. Thinking about the income of the steel rolling mill this year, not to mention other things, the production of tractors has made more than usual, not to mention that there are pressure cookers and heating stoves.

All the workers counted on their fingers, mentally calculating the prize.

Then in twos and threes, like streams converging, boiling and shouting, they walked towards the square.
