Scholars in the courtyard

The door suddenly opened, and Yang Xiaotao walked in from the outside. Wangcai was wagging his tail and sticking out his tongue at Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e's face froze, and then she realized that this was a courtyard house, not a steel rolling mill, so she forced herself to say, "Whoever said bad things, I'm telling the truth."

"If you don't want to come back to cook, just say so. I'm easy to get rid of, so I just need to have a simple meal!"

Lou Xiao'e sat there with her legs crossed, as if I was right.

"You can't just eat a simple meal. I need to find two pieces of steel to grind your teeth. This will save you sharp teeth and a sharp mouth!"

Yang Xiaotao took off his coat and there was nothing he couldn't say to Lou Xiao'e.

Ran Qiuye stepped forward to help hang up the coat, and winked at the opportunity, "Please stop saying a few words, I don't know how to give in!"

Ran Qiuye was advising from the side, and Yang Xiaotao shrugged, "You are right, you have to give in. Who told her to be small!"

Lou Xiao'e felt uncomfortable listening to the sidelines, "What's wrong, Xiao! Humph!"

"Duanwu, don't be like your father. His heart is made of iron and he has no human touch."

As he said this, he picked up Dragon Boat Festival and touched his little hands to prevent him from looking for Yang Xiaotao.

"What did you say?"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly turned around and asked with a frown. Ran Qiuye was startled and was about to explain.

"What was the last sentence just now?"

Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yang Xiaotao's serious look and spoke carefully.

"Say your heart is made of iron!"

"Heart. Iron!"

Suddenly, Yang Xiaotao thought of something, picked up his backpack and rushed to the study.

In the room, Ran Qiuye and Lou Xiao'e looked at each other, wondering what was going on.

…

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you successfully designed the electric pressure cooker, and the evaluation grade is passing!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host, you got 300 credits."

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, everyone in the room had gone to sleep. Yang Xiaotao rubbed his eyes and looked at the design drawings that had been revised several times. A familiar voice sounded in his mind, and he finally relaxed and leaned on his back.

The system sound that had not sounded during the day was finally found out due to Lou Xiao'e's unintentional reminder.

Alloys in this era are precious metals, especially when domestic metallurgy has not yet matured. Therefore, in the original design of the electric pressure cooker, the inner tank was made of alloy materials.

Yang Xiaotao considered reality, so he used ordinary steel at the beginning. Anyway, as long as the thickness was high enough to ensure safety, it would be fine.

But he ignored that resistance heating is different from thermal heating. It requires better thermal conductivity and has more stringent requirements on materials.

Therefore, the design drawings using ordinary materials were not recognized by the system. Now, after changing the material to aluminum, the good thermal conductivity immediately made the system successful.

However, the evaluation given by the system is also the lowest, which can only be regarded as a success in design.

Compared with the electric pressure cooker drawing provided by the system, it is simply a simplified version.

The biggest flaw is that there is no protection device, it cannot cut off power at high temperatures, it cannot cut off power at high voltage, it cannot cut off power by dry burning, and there may even be leakage.

In addition, there is also the issue of electricity utilization. If it is finally found that electricity consumption is better than coal, then it is better to use coal.

And because of the existence of the inner and outer pots, the electric pressure cooker is much larger than the Youyi brand pressure cooker.

All these factors make this design drawing have a very low rating.

Even just passed.

But what must be admitted is that this design drawing has really come true. Even if the electric pressure cooker has some problems, the heating problem can be regarded as solving the fuel problem.

"It's an explanation!"

Stretching, Yang Xiaotao put up the design drawings, then walked to the toilet. After draining the water, he returned to the house and covered Little Dragon Boat Festival with a quilt. Then he turned off the light and went to bed, lying on the warm quilt with his arms around him. The daughter-in-law wants to sleep in a comfortable position.

Less than ten minutes after I closed my eyes, I heard Wangcai's low roar in a daze, and then I felt Xiaowei flying into the house.

"Xiaowei, what's wrong?"

"Boohoo!"

Xiaowei's voice came from the bottom of my heart, and she immediately put on her coat and got up.

Come to the window and look out.

I saw a blurry figure moving cautiously towards the backyard, with a soft voice and a special look at Wangcai.

"Mr. Jia Zhang? Is this old witch trying to do something wrong again?"

Yang Xiaotao recognized who it was at a glance. At this point, why did Jia Zhang run to the backyard? The toilet was not in the backyard.

Feeling a little curious, I asked Wangcai to leave it alone and just asked Xiaowei to follow him and take a look.

backyard.

Mrs. Jia Zhang walked cautiously, looking around from time to time, for fear that someone would suddenly jump out.

These days, life at home is really difficult.

A meal of only one and a half steamed buns left me feeling full, not even full.

I told Qin Huairu, but it was useless.

Qin Huairu is the only one making money in the family, and the food supply is only so much, and she doesn't want to go back to the countryside.

Of course, we won’t have enough to eat even when we go back to the countryside.

These days, everyone in the Jia family has lost several pounds from top to bottom.

It's okay for children. They are children to begin with, and they are still two losers. It doesn't matter if they eat less.

But when has she, an adult, ever suffered this crime?

They have never lived like this since they started working with Lao Jia. Even if their son is paralyzed and lying in bed, their family can still order something from Sha Zhu or Yi Zhonghai every now and then.

But now, where is Silly Pillar? Where is Yi Zhonghai?

There is no one in this hospital to help them, even the hospital-wide meetings that used to be held frequently are gone, and even if they come, no one pays attention to them.

This made the Jia family's life plummet.

Especially Qin Huairu's thin face changed color.

Qin Huairu could bear it, but she couldn't.

But everyone else in the courtyard was on guard against her, leaving her with nowhere to display her special skills.

There was no choice but to target the deaf old lady.

Back then, a lot of gold was dug out here.

If I miss a piece and she picks it up, I can get a lot of money in exchange for it at the pigeon market.

She has been thinking about trying her luck here for the past few days, but unfortunately she has never made up her mind.

Moreover, Yang Xiaotao from the Intermediate Court looks like he has money to burn, and he stays up late at night and turns on the lights, wasting electricity.

After finally waiting for the Yang family to turn off the lights, she waited for a while and saw that Qin Huairu and others were asleep, and then she made up her mind and took action.

Carefully go out and quickly run to the backyard.

After walking two more steps, Mrs. Jia Zhang looked up at the dilapidated house of the deaf old lady. Under the ruins, there was a pile of swaying heads.

After making sure, he stepped forward, looked at the head on the ground, took out a small shovel from his pocket, and started digging.

Wow

Bada

The sound of digging continued to sound, even if it was suppressed deliberately, the sound was still heard.

Xiaowei watched from the side and waited for a while before returning to the room to report to Yang Xiaotao.

After hearing Xiaowei's narration, Yang Xiaotao was immediately amused by this idiot.

The deaf old lady confirmed that she had buried a lot of gold under the wall, but most of it fell into his pocket, and the rest was dug up. Not to mention the gold, not a single needle was left.

What Jia Zhang did was purely whimsical, let’s just dream.

Yang Xiaotao ignored the idiot Jia Zhang and lay down again, hugging his wife and dreaming.

The next day, Ran Qiuye saw Yang Xiaotao with a smile on his face and asked him about last night while eating.

"The design drawing is done, but it will take some time to make it."

Yang Xiaotao drank millet porridge, opened an egg, and looked at the little Dragon Boat Festival on the side with his head tilted and not eating. Ran's mother was holding a bowl and feeding the chasing ones there. She directly carried the boy over and held a small piece of egg white. Just put it in your mouth.

Suddenly, his father fed him a mouthful of egg white. Little Dragon Boat Festival stuck out his tongue, but his father sucked it in with his fingers, and then helplessly ate it into his stomach.

"Be good, eat the yolk when eating eggs."

As Yang Xiaotao spoke, he fed another piece of egg yolk into his mouth. Now Little Dragon Boat Festival shook his head desperately and refused to eat.

Ran Qiuye couldn't stand it any longer, so he hugged Duanwu over and was freed from the clutches of the devil.

"You don't know, the way you acted last night scared Xiao'e."

"Have it?"

"Why not? They sat for a while and then left. You have to talk carefully when you go now."

Ran Qiuye said, and Ran Xinrui on the side also said, "Yes, brother-in-law. When Sister Xiao'e left last night, her face was still white."

Yang Xiaotao's eating movements froze, and then he nodded.

"I was inspired by her reminder last night. I didn't mean anything else."

"Anyway, go and talk about it today."

Yang Xiaotao spread his hands and said helplessly, "In the worst case, I'll treat her to a meal when I come again. Isn't that what she complained about last night?"

Hearing this, Ran Qiuye rolled his eyes and said, "If you say that, will people dare to come again?"

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"I don't know, I'll figure it out myself."

After breakfast, Yang Xiaotao went to work and took his two children to school.

Ran Qiuye and Ran's mother were cleaning up the yard together.

The weather is getting warmer, and the leeks in the yard have begun to grow. The two are planning to clean up and plant other things.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao left a piece of land to plant corn, and they also made plans.

The two began to work, and other people in the courtyard came over to help.

This courtyard is so big, the only yard in front of Yang Xiaotao's house is to grow vegetables and fruits. After so many years, everyone can only envy it.

In the backyard, Qin Jingru watched Xu's mother packing her things, feeling reluctant to give up.

After Xu's mother had been here for so long, she felt that there was no problem, so she wanted to go back.

Qin Jingru tried every means to keep her, but Xu's mother said that Xu's father also had to take care of her, so Qin Jingru had no choice.

Of course, the real reason why she wanted to keep Xu's mother was to serve her.

Over the past two months, this kind of day with someone cooking and taking care of me has been like a magical day.

After Xu's mother packed up, Qin Jingru came out to see Xu's mother off.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked to the middle courtyard, they saw Ran and her mother busy at work, especially when the people on the side were talking about planting tomatoes and cucumbers. Qin Jingru felt her mouth dry after hearing this.

After sending Xu's mother off and returning to the backyard, she looked at the collapsed house next door, rolled her eyes, and had an idea.

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao rode his bicycle to the steel rolling mill.

As soon as I entered the office and wasn't ready to work, I saw Lou Xiao'e walking in with a stack of documents in her hands.

"So early!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and spoke, but Lou Xiao'e just hummed, obviously still angry.

Yang Xiaotao saw that there was no one outside the door and could only smile dryly, "I don't even know when you left last night."

Lou Xiao'e said nothing.

Yang Xiaotao continued, "Well, last night, to be honest, I would like to thank you. If it weren't for what you said, I would still do..."

Ring ring ring

Before Yang Xiaotao could finish speaking, the phone on the table rang, and Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to pick it up.

"Brother Yang?"

There was a familiar smell in the voice, and a pancake rolled with green onions instantly appeared in my mind.

"Brother Wang, why are you calling so early?"

"It's not urgent. I'm just listening to the radio. Congratulations, your steel rolling mill has become famous this time. Youyi brand pressure cooker. My God, you can sell it abroad..."
