Scholars in the courtyard

In the room, under the kerosene lamp, Shazhu nodded imperceptibly.

You cannot be a person without conscience.

You can't be too selfish.

This principle is what he has always insisted on.

In other words, during the days in Siheyuan, I relied on this belief to overcome one hurdle after another.

Because of this, in his eyes, no matter how high Yang Xiaotao is now or whether he has a better life than anyone else, when it comes to giving, a selfish and conscienceless person will never get respect from people.

This is also the reason why he has always consciously suppressed Yang Xiaotao.

It was also the sense of superiority that he still found in Yang Xiaotao even though he was destitute and impoverished.

Yi Zhonghai saw that Si Zhu was silent, but his expression was a little shaken.

He didn't know why Silly Zhu was so entangled, and why he couldn't understand what Silly Zhu was doing during this period.

He lost his usual enthusiasm for Qin Huairu.

When chatting in the evening, when the Jia family was mentioned, Silly Zhu became impatient and made jokes about other things.

When talking about his past life, Si Zhu remained silent.

Even when it comes to He Yuyu, if Silly Zhu would have yelled at Baiyanlang before, but now, Silly Zhu is still silent.

This silence may be Shazhu's reflection.

This shows that Shazhu has begun to have his own way of thinking, and this independent way of thinking is likely to become an existence that he cannot control.

"Pillar!"

Yi Zhonghai decided to take the initiative and ask for clarification.

"Tell me, what do you want to save money for?"

Hearing this, Silly Zhu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

What happened between him and Qin Jingru was a secret between two people. No one could tell it. Otherwise, if it were revealed, they would be finished. Even if the child was born, Xu Damao would throw him to death.

I can't talk about this.

Silly Zhu was silent, but Yi Zhonghai waited patiently.

A good fisherman is one who can keep his composure.

After a long time, Silly Zhu sighed and spoke.

"Master, you also know that there is no room for me in the courtyard."

"My family's house has been sealed. I'm here now. When it's over, where will I go?"

"Besides, there are still five years left! When I finally go out, I will be thirty. By then, I won't even have a home. I..."

Originally, Shazhu was looking for an excuse to deal with it, but when it came to being sad, Shazhu also felt cold in his heart. How could he have fallen to this point?

Looking miserable, Yi Zhonghai looked a little sad and comforted him, "So, you are saving money just to buy a house?"

"yes!"

Yi Zhonghai frowned, "Have you ever thought about whether this house is worth buying?"

"How many people can't get a place in the houses in Sijiu City? Besides, most of the people living in these houses are allocated by the superiors. Do they dare to sell them? If they really have a house, will they sell it to you?"

Yi Zhonghai's voice increased, leaving Shazhu speechless. He really didn't think so much. He just wanted to save money and buy a house when the time came. If something serious happened, he could take over Qin Jingru's mother and son.

But now after what Yi Zhonghai said, it seems that buying a house in Sijiu City is not that difficult.

"If it doesn't work out, I'll just buy one here. Anyway, I can make money here and it's not a bad place to live."

Silly Zhu glanced around the house. Although it was far away from the city, it was not bad.

"Confused!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Si Zhu finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai got angry and yelled at Si Zhu.

If this Silly Zhu settles down here and never returns to the courtyard, then who will provide for him in his old age?

Who serves him?

These days, people are getting old, and even their biological sons can’t step forward, let alone their neighbors.

If Shazhu wasn't a real person, he wouldn't have chosen Shazhu.

Now Shazhu wants to buy a house here? No, absolutely not.

"Zhuzi, you are confused!"

"You just want to stay here for the rest of your life?"

"You've been living in the courtyard for so many years and you don't want to go back? Do you even have roots?"

"Also, these people from Forty-Nine City are city dwellers. Do you want your children to eat dirt with you? If you don't give up the food supply, will you suffer this?"

Yi Zhonghai's mind was spinning rapidly as he explained to Silly Zhu.

Silly Zhu was stunned again.

He didn't hear it before, but this last sentence entered his heart.

He thinks well, but Qin Jingru may not be happy with it. In order to become a city citizen, he can follow people like Xu Damao. Maybe he will give up the child and just follow Xu Damao.

What about him, leading his children to eat dirt in the countryside?

No!

You can do it if you are tired, but your children must not suffer.

Yes, kid, be a city boy.

Silly Zhu perked up and let Yi Zhonghai see a turning point.

Immediately, Yi Zhonghai slowly sat down and reached out to pat Si Zhu's shoulder.

"Zhuzi, you also know that your aunt and I have no descendants. But we, the old couple, have always regarded you as a relative..."

Before he finished speaking, two tears fell down.

"Master, please don't say this. I, Silly Zhu, have understood over the years that I also have you two in my heart, and I have always regarded you as relatives..."

Silly Zhu was infected and quickly spoke. The two met and became affectionate.

After a while, Yi Zhonghai regained his composure and said, "Zhuzi, when your aunt and I are gone, this house will be yours."

"So, forget about those messy things. It's not like you, Silly Zhu, don't have a house. Your roots have always been in the courtyard."

"Master!"

Tears welled up in Silly Zhu's eyes.

After a long time, the two calmed down and then began to eat the food on the table.

"Zhuzi, Qin Huairu will come back tomorrow when he's watching Bangge."

Yi Zhonghai brought up old things again, and Si Zhu was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"Master, if you do this, I'll get ten yuan."

Yi Zhonghai frowned, he's almost fifty, just give me ten yuan?

What does it mean? What you just said was in vain?

"Don't worry, listen to me."

Silly Zhu chewed the peanuts and said helplessly.

"You also know, Mrs. Jia Zhang, this is a lazy person who dominates the family. If you give Sister Qin so much money, she will definitely fall into her hands. Why doesn't Sister Qin still not be able to spend it?"

After speaking, he spread his hands and Yi Zhonghai's brows spread, and he suddenly understood.

"You're right! In this way, we'll get ten yuan per person. It's enough for Qin Huairu and Auntie to live on. The rest will be given next month!"

"Yes, this is right!"

Silly Zhu laughed and finally saved most of it. Looking at Yi Zhonghai, he decided in his heart that he would have to be more careful in the future!

…

Yangjiazhuang.

It was already dark when Yang Xiaotao drove home.

Fortunately, the road was fairly flat and it was smooth with the lights on.

Many villagers who were busy going home on the road said hello when they saw him.

After returning home, I met Ran Qiuye and Mr. Yang, and then Xiao Duanwu hugged his neck very happily. The family had dinner and made fun for a while before taking a rest.

After watching his son fall asleep, Yang Xiaotao hugged his wife and started talking quietly.

"Daughter-in-law, do you miss me?"

"No, don't move."

Ran Qiuye hid in Yang Xiaotao's arms. The moonlight outside the window was cold and the countryside was much cooler than the city.

Yang Xiaotao tightened the quilt, "I didn't think about it? How is it possible? I really miss you here."

Ran Qiuye blushed, "I've been so busy these days, I don't have time to miss you."

"How to say?"

"It's not because of you. You asked the students to answer the questions. After the first set of questions, the Chinese was okay, but only three students in the whole class passed the math."

"The children have been severely hit and have not been interested in studying these days. I have been busy comforting them these days."

"Is there such a thing? I don't think those questions are difficult at all!"

"That's you, an adult, a top student, a great talent. You think all children are like you!"

Ran Qiuye said disdainfully, but did not notice that a piece of clothing was quickly taken off.

The weather is getting warmer and everything is recovering.

The grasshoppers outside the window are working hard to make a quiet sound. Under the beautiful melody, they attract the patronage of the opposite sex and complete the mission of reproduction.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye got up and went to school together.

On campus, early reading has begun.

Standing in front of the school, villagers passing by would pause for a moment, listen for a while, as if they could distinguish the voices of their children, and then leave with satisfaction.

"Don't act nonsense, the children are still young."

Ran Qiuye was a little worried. After class last night, Yang Xiaotao said that the children's psychological problems would be solved by him. At that time, he was confused and didn't understand. Who knew that Yang Xiaotao would actually come this morning.

"Don't worry, I'm Teacher Yang, just leave it to me."

Yang Xiaotao went to hold Ran Qiuye's hand, but Ran Qiuye dodged him and said, "Be careful in school."

Come to the classroom, which is specially organized for graduating students.

Class teacher Liu Yonghui is walking around the classroom, urging students to study hard.

Since becoming a teacher here, Liu Yonghui has found his goal in life, which is to train children to become talents.

Besides that, he also found his life partner.

It was the teacher Li Lanxin who came with me. One was silent and the other was lively and cheerful, but they complemented each other.

And all of this stems from their love for education.

They even thought about letting their children go to school here when they have children in the future.

"Teacher Yang!"

Just when Liu Yonghui was deep in thought, he saw someone walking in the door.

By comparison, Yang Xiaotao had been standing outside the window for ten minutes, listening for ten minutes, and then drove Ran Qiuye back to the office.

This was the first time Ran Qiuye saw such an expression on Yang Xiaotao's face. It was an expression of anger and indisputable anger.

For the first time, Ran Qiuye felt that her man was serious and aura.

She couldn't bear the thought of disobedience.

Ran Qiuye returned to the office, but she was still thinking about him.

However, after Teacher Zhang heard about it, he was very relieved to Ran Qiuye.

She also noticed something was wrong about the graduating class, but she hadn't told Lao Hong yet. Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaotao took action first, just in time to take a look.

At the door, Yang Xiaotao came in with a cold face and saw Liu Yonghui smiling.

"Teacher Liu, I have something to tell these bastards."

"Ah, okay. Okay."

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao's expression was wrong, Liu Yonghui didn't dare to get into trouble. He glanced at the children in the room, looking like he was asking for blessings, and then left the classroom.

In the classroom, when Yang Xiaotao came in, the sound of reading became weaker again.

Yang Xiaotao stood on the podium, condescending, then walked aside and picked up the broom standing at the foot of the wall.

"Pause!"

The child below immediately became too angry and did not dare to express his anger.

"Is this how you study? Look, everyone looks like they haven't had enough to eat. They are studying as if they are singing in an opera. Is this a place for opera?"

The sound in the room gradually amplified and could be heard next door.

Mr. Yang was sitting in the office, and other teachers were called over. Let Yang Xiaotao handle this matter by himself.

"Listen up. Stand up!"

brush

Twenty-six children got up and stood up one by one.

"Yang Hongye."

"arrive!"

"Two columns, let me run on the playground."

"yes."

Wow!

Twenty-six children ran out immediately. In front of Yang Xiaotao, no one dared to hold them back.

After a while, twenty-six children on the playground started running, step by step, with Yang Xiaotao standing aside.

Ten minutes later, some people could no longer keep up with the team.

"Follow me, hurry up, that's all, run!"

Yang Xiaotao was waving a broom on the side with a serious expression.

Twenty minutes later, the queue had grown long.

There are children whose steps are already messy.

Half an hour later, only a few children were still holding on.

The rest rest for a while, then get up and run again.

Without Yang Xiaotao's permission, he would keep running.

At this time, a group of people stood behind Yang Xiaotao, including teachers and students.

But they all distanced themselves, standing far away,

An hour later, with Yang Hongye lying on the ground, all the children fell to the ground, stunned.
