Scholars in the courtyard

49 cities

Xu Damao finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched a group of people leaving.

After much persuasion and numerous assurances, these 'Yama's' were finally sent away.

Next to him, Xu's father exhaled equally comfortably, and then looked at Xu Damao with an expression of hatred that iron could not be transformed into steel.

"Look, I don't expect you to bring glory to the family, but at least you won't cause trouble."

"Look at you, I found the Lou family for you. It was such a good thing. There is no shortage of food and drink. Lou Xiao'e is also good. It's better for you. You went out to fool around and your good hand was ruined."

Xu Damao felt uncomfortable after hearing this.

No comparison means no harm.

If you didn't have it in the past, you wouldn't regret it now.

Only now did he realize that having Lou Xiaoe and losing Lou Xiaoe were two extremes in life.

Moreover, Lou Xiao'e's figure is getting better and better, and she is not bad compared with Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu.

He regretted everything in his intestines.

But it's useless, people don't look at him at all.

"Now, let's not talk about my daughter-in-law's miscarriage. She is still blocked by her mother's family. If this spreads out, our old Xu family will be completely disgraced."

Xu's father felt so hot that he didn't dare to go out again when he returned to the courtyard.

"Dad, I, you really don't blame me, I also hope to have children, this is not true."

"Okay, just say a few words. Go to work tomorrow, talk to your boss, and go to the hospital to take care of your wife."

"Huh? My mother isn't going."

Xu Damao was anxious. He was really not good at serving people.

Xu's father snorted coldly, "Your mother and I still have things to do. If we don't make any money anymore, who will support us? We're counting on you."

After speaking, he walked towards the hospital, and Xu Damao quickly followed.

"Dad, what can happen to my mother? She is helping me take care of Jingru."

"Hmph, your sister's child needs to be watched."

"No, do you need to be so fawning over a loser who is married off?"

"That's better than you, an unfilial son, who hasn't even left a wife after all these years."

Xu's father was too lazy to look back, and Xu Damao even lowered his head after hearing this. Among his peers, except for Silly Zhu, who was worse off than him, everyone else had a house full of children.

Especially Yang Xiaotao, who is due to give birth in a few months. Damn it, why don't he let his wife have some kind of role in the palace?

"By the way, the doctor said yes, girl?"

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, that's what he said."

"That's right, that's fine..."

Father Xu sighed and walked quickly.

In the hospital, Xu's mother was sitting next to the hospital bed, looking at Qin Jingru with a pair of drooping eyelids without saying a word.

Qin Jingru, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked at the lime roof with her eyes, crying and feeling sad, but the fact was that the child could not come back.

Qin Jingru could only comfort herself that she would have children.

She glanced at Xu's mother beside her, who showed a kind smile, but Qin Jingru was thinking about what her elder brother had said before leaving.

"My sister made a promise to you, so you can live a good life. If you don't want to live a happy life, just send her back well and don't bully her. Otherwise, the most important thing our Qinjia Village lacks is a shotgun, which is designed to hunt animals."

Those words hit the soft spot in Qin Jingru's heart.

The eldest brother is still the same eldest brother who fought for her when she was a child.

Later, Qin's mother and sister-in-law accompanied her and said comforting words, which also made her feel the warmth from her family.

As for Xu Damao on the side, he could only be as honest and obedient as his grandson.

This made her understand how necessary a strong natal family is.

At least after this, Xu Damao didn't dare to look at him coldly.

Feeling calm, Qin Jingru began to think about the future.

The doctor said that she has recovered this time and can still have children in the future.

Just think carefully about who you want to give birth to.

If it had been before, she would have chosen Silly Zhu. After all, Silly Zhu was more reliable than Xu Damao and could make her pregnant with a child.

It's not that she looked down on Xu Damao. With comparison, she knew how bad Xu Damao was.

But this time, seeing Xu Damao's sad look, he really cared about her.

At the same time, Qin Jingru also knew that associating with Sha Zhu was like drinking poison, and something would happen sooner or later, so she might as well take advantage of the loss of her child to cut off the connection with Sha Zhu.

As for the things given by Shazhu, haha, after the rectification of the first branch factory, will there still be things?

From now on, she, Qin Jingru, will be Xu Damao's person and bear Xu Damao's children.

Later, Qin Jingru thought of Qin Huairu again. This time her family could come because Qin Huairu walked back to Qinjia Village and helped her a lot, which made her feel good about her.

"At critical moments, a family can always be relied upon."

Siheyuan

Qin Huairu put down the bag. Inside were the ones given to her by Qin Jingru's parents, and those given by her parents at home.

When she went back this time, Qin Huairu obviously found that the village was much better than before.

This is good. I heard that it is about growing high-yielding corn.

It’s Yangcun No. 1, the high-yielding corn produced by Yang Xiaotao.

Several surrounding villages have received instructions from their superiors to plant this kind of corn with all their strength. The corresponding public surplus grain payment will be less, and the village can also save some grain.

"Huairu, there's so much food. Let's go back more often in the future."

Jia Zhang looked at the sweet potatoes, potatoes and radishes she took out of the bag. Although they were left over from last year and some were shriveled, they tasted fine and were definitely better than the corn thrown by the Yang family.

"The village is also busy. It would be nice to give it once. You still want to go there again and again."

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at Jia Zhang, and then went to cook.

But mentally, I was thinking, 'Qin Jingru is the one who has the long-term meal ticket. ’

‘And Silly Zhu, you dare to be sorry to me, then, don’t blame me. ’

Thinking of Yi Zhonghai's instructions in his mind, Qin Huairu felt that it was time for him to take off the ring.

In the northwest, the sky is still bright and dinner is already on the table.

Three dishes, one fried cabbage, one fried shredded potatoes, and one egg soup.

In the middle, there is a pot of Erhe noodle steamed buns!

They are all stir-fried, but there is finally oil and water on them.

Six people were sitting at the table.

The leader is Wang Huzi, the factory director Fang on the left, Yang Xiaotao on the right, then Xiao Wu and Wang Hao, and finally Ma Xiaoling.

As for the others, Director Fang said they didn’t drink much and would talk about it next time.

Several people sat down, and Director Fang greeted them warmly, especially Yang Xiaotao, who was particularly special.

Black ocean bowls were placed in front of several people. Yang Xiaotao glanced at Wang Huzi, who laughed.

"Come on, come on, this has been hidden for more than a year, come and try it."

As Director Fang spoke, he patted the half-man tall jar next to him, "If it weren't for..."

"If Xiao Yang hadn't been here this time, you would definitely not have been able to pass this test."

Wang Huzi said that Factory Director Fang didn't care and smiled proudly at Yang Xiaotao.

"That's right. Thanks to Director Yang, otherwise our factory wouldn't know when it would be repaired."

Factory Director Fang said, picking up a wine grape from the table nearby.

However, this wine grape is made of wooden strips, and the gaps in the weaving can be vaguely seen.

Everyone focused their attention on the jar. As Director Fang opened the lid, a smell of alcohol mixed with rustic smells hit their nostrils.

Factory Director Fang lay on it and smelled it first, with a look of fascination on his face, while Wang Huzi laughed and cursed softly.

Then slowly immerse the wine grapes into the jar, and the wine will pass through the gaps, just keeping out the impurities.

"Chief!"

Factory Director Fang shouted to Wang Huzi, but Wang Huzi waved and shook his head, "Give it to Xiao Yang first."

Director Fang didn't care after hearing this. He directly picked up Yang Xiaotao's black bowl and slid the funnel up. The wine was still flowing out, but Director Fang quickly poured it into Yang Xiaotao's bowl.

The black bowl was held steady until it was full, and then slowly placed in front of Yang Xiaotao.

"Director Yang, please."

"Thank you very much."

Yang Xiaotao was quick to be polite, and Director Fang drained the wine again and served Wang Huzi and others. Even Ma Xiaoling had a full bowl.

Apparently, he also drinks a lot.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the wine in the bowl. It might be the color of the bowl. The color of the wine could not be seen, it was all black.

However, the wine now smells less earthy and more fragrant than the one in the jar.

Director Fang filled everyone's glasses with wine, then carefully picked it up and said to Wang Beard, Yang Xiaotao and the others.

"Today, I really want to thank Director Yang for not only bringing us such a good product as safety belts, but also helping us repair the machine tools."

"Also, thanks to the chief, if you hadn't brought Director Yang here, there would be nothing wrong with our factory."

"I, Fangyuan, represent the manufacturing plant. I have some plain wine to express my gratitude to all comrades, thank you to the chief, and thank you to Director Yang."

After speaking, Director Fang's eyes were filled with gratitude and he held the black bowl in both hands.

Yang Xiaotao and others also stood up, holding their bowls carefully.

"Director Fang, you are too polite to say this."

"Workers all over the world are one family, and our family does not speak the same language."

"Dry!"

"good!"

boom

Several bowls clinked together lightly, and then each took a sip.

Yang Xiaotao felt the wine sting his throat, and then the alcohol burned hotly, and then he felt nothing as it flowed into his stomach.

It’s as if the only thing drinking is your throat.

However, this wine depends on its staying power.

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."

Several people put down their wine bowls, and Director Fang hurriedly greeted them.

Wang Huzi smacked his lips, "It's not easy to drink Lao Fang's wine, but the wine Lao Fang makes is really good. I'll have to come here more often in the future."

"Ha ha!"

"As you said, chief, as long as you come at any time, you will be available at any time."

Director Fang patted the wine jar and said, "I'll seal another jar this year. Next year you guys will come and take care of it."

As he spoke, he looked at Yang Xiaotao and saw Yang Xiaotao nodding slightly, feeling even more happy in his heart.

Haha~~

"Director Xiao Yang, how did you develop your skills?"

"I'm not praising you. At your age, you will definitely not find anyone else in the northwest."

"To put it another way, the whole country..."

"Director Fang! Uncle Fang! Let me go, let me go. Just talk about this at our table. Otherwise, how can I mess around if others find out."

Director Fang smiled and valued Yang Xiaotao even more.

Young and talented, not impetuous.

Tsk tsk!

Yang Xiaotao quickly stopped talking, and at the same time picked up the wine bowl, "Chief, I would like to borrow flowers to offer to Buddha. Thank you for taking care of me along the way."

Wang Huzi smiled, "Okay, we've been together for so long, and I can be considered a half-landowner. I'll just borrow Lao Fang's wine and have a drink."

boom

The wine bowls clinked together and the two took a long drink.

Another round of politeness followed.

Until Director Fang drained the wine for the third time, only three people, Wang Huzhi and Yang Xiaotao, were left at the dinner table. Xiao Wu and Wang Hao were barely able to drink, so they drank two bowls and ran away to rest.

Ma Xiaoling, on the other hand, although she only drank one bowl, was still energetic and found some dried dates for a few people.

The three of them also drank a lot, and each bowl weighed a pound.

Yang Xiaotao patted his dizzy head, spread the dried dates on the table, picked out the cores, and put them in his mouth. They were a little sweet.

Wang Huzi held his chin in his hands, listening to Factory Director Fang singing an old tune below, and tapping the table from time to time.

Below, there is a voice unique to the northwest, or the voice unique to Director Fang. In short, what Yang Xiaotao hears is very northwest.
