Scholars in the courtyard

At the door of Jia's house, Banggan stared at the white-striped chicken in Lao Dao's hand until his one eye popped out.

At first, Bangge thought it would be a good thing to go home and not have to work in the fields, but when he got home, he realized that he might as well stay in the village.

Anyway, he is a child, he doesn’t do much, and adults can’t punish him.

What's more, he is still a disabled person, and he will be taken care of by discipline and other things.

Therefore, in the village, you can at least eat enough and eat vegetables with some oil and water.

But after returning home, every meal was filled with cornbread, and my stomach was already deflated.

"Might as well get back to work."

Banggeng muttered, and Xiaodang next to him started drooling when he looked at the chicken passing by.

"Mom, their family is eating chicken again, I want to eat it."

Qin Huairu could also see clearly in front of the stove, and her breathing gradually became heavier.

After hearing what Xiaodang said, Qin Huairu looked down at the flames and said, "Xiaodang, mom wants it too, but they won't give it to me."

Xiaodang opened his eyes wide, and then looked at Banggeng again, "Brother, you are so powerful, can you find a chicken to eat?"

Bangge was about to poop his chest, but when he saw the bigger dog in the yard, he suddenly lost his temper and said, "I, I will definitely find a chicken, and I will make a beggar's chicken for you then."

Xiaodang nodded vigorously, "Well, brother is the best."

On the side, Qin Huairu raised his head and looked at the old Taoist standing in the Yang family yard, with a flash of jealousy in his eyes.

Ever since Lao Tao arrived, Qin Huairu had called his attention, but considering the existence of Yang Xiaotao, she suppressed her thoughts.

But as Zhang Laodao lived a good life and it seemed that it was not bad at first glance, she also threw her aunt's warnings behind her and started to test.

So she asked Banggeng to act pitiful and take her two sisters to the backyard to play when nothing happened, hoping to arouse Zhang Laodao's sympathy.

Furthermore, Qin Huairu was also very polite to the old Taoist. Whenever he saw her, he would greet her with a smile and greet her from time to time.

Unfortunately, Zhang Laodao ignored this family at all.

I know the situation of this family from the people in the courtyard, as well as the child who lost his eye. At first glance, he doesn't look like a good thing. He stalks dogs and has sharp mouths and monkey cheeks. After losing one of his eyes, he is plagued with bad luck. Such people are very rare. No.

As for Qin Huairu, he is the pink skeleton, the master who specializes in destroying his practice. It is strange that he dares to come forward.

"Banggan, take your sister to play."

After hearing this, Bangge looked at the Yang family's dog, instinctively resisting, but he did not refuse.

Jumping out of the door, Xiaodang led Sophora japonica to follow.

In the room, Qin Huairu closed the door and walked to the mirror to tidy up a little, "How come no one likes such a good-looking person?"

"Could it be..."

Qin Huairu reached out and touched her belly, feeling hesitant!

…

Large courtyard. Ran family.

The courtyard was bustling with people, and after those three years, life had improved.

Especially after the full supply of food was restored, several more mouths were added to the courtyard.

At this moment, people who had returned from get off work were chatting in the courtyard and talking about all kinds of interesting things.

The women at home are busy preparing dinner. As for the children, they have no homework at home after school and are playing wildly in the yard.

At the Ran family, Ran's mother is also preparing dinner.

Ever since the eldest daughter got married, people in the compound could tell that life in the Ran family was much better than before.

In the past, the Ran family lived a life without enough food. They were just like the people in the courtyard, who had to eat every meal before they were hungry.

The three children at home are all supported by Ran's mother. She knows how tired they are.

Fortunately, there is still food supply, otherwise he would have starved to death.

Coupled with the rumored family background, it made life difficult for the Ran family for a while.

But now, not to mention how good the food at home is, the youngest child’s face has lost all color.

Everyone who knows about this knows that Ran Qiuye has found a good husband.

My uncle has the ability to help his family live a better life.

Recently I heard that the second daughter of the family has been admitted to junior high school. From then on, she will have a stable job and the family life will be comfortable.

Everyone was enjoying the cool air in the courtyard, chatting about interesting things around them. The old woman and the young daughter-in-law were cooking in the house, and smoke was rising from every house.

door.

"His uncle, is this the target of the eldest daughter of the Ran family in this newspaper?"

An old man was holding an old newspaper. Uncle Wang in the yard took a look at it. It was the time when the Red Star tractor was leaving the factory.

"When was that? Now, this is the latest one."

"This, the man in the middle is the man from Ran Qiuye's family."

Uncle Wang took out a new newspaper from his pocket, folded in a square shape, with pictures on the top.

"Oh, you are young and handsome!"

The man said something and finally looked at Uncle Wang, "Uncle, has your little boy been arranged to go in?"

Uncle Wang smiled proudly, "That's not the case. Apprentices, first learn the craft from the master."

"Oh, what are you studying?"

"In the workshop, making tractors. You can't make much money in a month."

Even as he said this, Uncle Wang smiled proudly.

No way, it doesn't matter now, who can enter the steel rolling mill?

He asked Ran's mother to mention this to Yang Xiaotao, but he didn't expect that they would actually take care of it. Even if he was just an apprentice, he was on the right path. As for where to go from now on, ha!

If this kid wasn't stupid, he would know what to do.

"His uncle, you said, my second brother is about to find a job, I..."

"Old Lan, don't say bad things about me. Your family usually talks a lot about the Ran family."

"I…"

After Uncle Wang finished speaking, the man opened his mouth, feeling helpless at his mouth.

This long-tongued woman who only does bad things.

But for the sake of the child, he had to talk again, but the next second, a jeep parked at the door, and everyone looked over.

"Is this the Ran family's uncle's?"

Uncle Wang shook his head. He recognized Yang Xiaotao's license plate, no.

Everyone watched, and then they saw the car door open. A young man got out of the car first, looked around, and then a middle-aged man got out of the car.

When the middle-aged man came down, he stood quietly at the door, looking around as if he was looking for something, and sighing and feeling something with emotion from time to time.

"This, this person..."

Uncle Wang only thought it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

The people around him also looked puzzled, but they all thought they had seen it somewhere.

Just saying who it is, I really can’t remember.

"You must be Uncle Wang in the courtyard!"

The middle-aged man finally moved his gaze from the yard to the people at the door.

Looking at the old man in the white sweatshirt in the middle, whose appearance had not changed much, Father Ran tried to ask.

"Yeah yeah!"

Uncle Wang stepped forward with a cattail leaf fan and looked at it carefully, but still couldn't remember who this person was.

"Uncle Wang."

"You are Uncle Lan, and Aunt Sun."

Ran's father called everyone's name one by one, but none of them remembered it.

"Yes, you are."

"I am from the Ran family, Ran Zhiqiang, Qiuye's father."

Father Ran smiled, looking a little excited, and spoke with a little pride.

"who?"

"Akiba's father?"

"Teacher Xiaoran?"

Uncle Wang slapped his forehead suddenly, and then shouted loudly.

Before Ran's father left, he did work as a teacher for a period of time, but it was not a formal one, but it did not prevent everyone from calling him a teacher.

Because of this, Ran Qiuye developed the idea of ​​becoming a teacher since he was a child.

"Yes, it's me, it's me."

Uncle Wang stepped forward excitedly, and Ran's father also stepped forward to get together. They hadn't seen each other for ten years, and for a while, the old scenes appeared in everyone's minds.

"You, why are you so thin? I remember you have a round face, how come you are so thin?"

Uncle Wang looked at it carefully, Ran's father smiled and did not explain, "I have been working in other places these years, and I have suffered a little, but it is nothing."

"Yes, yes, you, oh, come in quickly, what are we talking about here."

"Goudan, go, hurry up and tell Madam Ran to tell you."

Uncle Wang finally said that he didn't know what to say.

"Uncle Wang, don't bother me. I'll go home by myself."

Father Ran calmed his mind, then picked up his things and walked inside step by step.

At the door, everyone watched Ran's father enter the house, but they were all silent.

"This man must have suffered a lot."

"It goes without saying that if you look thin, a gust of wind can blow you over."

"It's been ten years. Why can't you go home after ten years of work?"

"Who knows."

Everyone was talking, and then looked at the jeep parked at the door, and suddenly thought of something.

"But if you can get back in a small jeep, it shouldn't be too bad."

"Yes, at least he must be a factory director."

"Who knows, but what is certain is that the Ran family's life is better now."

Everyone looked at the back of the person walking in and nodded silently.

yard.

Ran's mother was washing vegetables in front of her house. These autumn leaves came from the yard at home last time. She saved them and ate them until now.

Next to him, an auntie was also picking leeks. The two of them were talking and laughing from time to time.

Next to her, Ran Xinrui was teaching Ran Hongbing how to ride a bicycle. The eldest sister couldn't ride at home, so she rode the bike back.

With a car, she can take Ran Hongbing everywhere to play, and she can also go to her brother-in-law's house to bring back some good things. She can also go and see the Dragon Boat Festival if she wants. Of course, her favorite is her two little nieces, because Ran's mother said Now, she has grown up like she was when she was a child.

Of course, these are secondary. The main thing is that this is the first bicycle in their courtyard. When I ride it every day, not to mention the children in the courtyard, even my own classmates, they look at it with envy.

"You're so stupid."

Looking at Ran Hongbing's clumsy appearance, his legs were uncoordinated and his eyes were staring at the front wheel. How could he not fall down?

Fortunately, my brother-in-law had an idea and put a wooden stick on the back seat, so the car didn't get hit.

"Sister, I, I'll try again."

Ran Hongbing blushed. After three days of learning, he always felt that the car veered to one side when running.

"Try it, huh, I'm telling you, if you can't learn how to drive this car today, then don't learn it. Let my eldest sister know that you don't study hard and only want to play, huh."

After Ran Xinrui finished speaking, Ran Hongbing's head shrank.

In this family, he must say that the person he fears the most is his brother-in-law, because his brother-in-law is very capable, and people with great capabilities are powerful.

Once it becomes powerful, he becomes afraid.

But my brother-in-law is also the kind of person who doesn't stick to trivial matters. As long as he doesn't make any serious mistakes, he usually leaves him alone and even often takes him to play with him.

Therefore, the second thing he fears is his eldest sister.

This is the kind of person that he has loved and feared since he was a child. In his mind, the love and care given to him by his eldest sister made him feel guilty for making a mistake, and he did not dare to think about it.

"Hmph, hurry up, don't delay your meal."

"You don't have much time."

Ran Xinrui interrupted Ran Hongbing's thoughts and urged him from the side.

"Ah, oh!"

Ran Hongbing stood up again, then stepped on the pedal with his left foot, kicked hard on the ground with his right foot twice, and the car ran forward.

"Stretch your legs quickly."

Ran Xinrui's cry came from behind. Ran Hongbing immediately raised his right leg and stretched it out from under the beam, stepped on the right foot, and then stepped down with all his strength.

"Idiot, keep your eyes forward and don't look at the wheel."

Ran Xinrui ran forward behind him, and Ran Hongbing raised his head habitually and stared ahead.

Just the next second, a person appeared in front. The moment Ran Hongbing raised his head, the car had been loaded directly.

"be careful."

Ran Xinrui screamed in surprise, and everyone in the courtyard looked over.

Then I saw Ran Hongbing riding a car and bumping into the person in front of him. The car overturned, but Ran Hongbing was hugged by someone before he hit the ground.

The bicycle was propped up by wooden sticks. Ran Hongbing was still dazed, and his body was picked up like this.

Ran Xinrui covered her mouth, looked at the things scattered on the ground, and immediately ran forward. Just seeing her little brother being held in someone's arms, she wanted to move forward, but was a little scared.

A group of people came from behind, and Ran's mother rushed to the front. From a distance, she saw her youngest son bumping into someone on his bicycle, and her heart tightened.

At this time, Ran's father, who was holding Ran Hongbing, looked at Ran Xinrui. That look made him feel familiar, and he was sure that she was his little girl.

The frightened boy in front of him should be his son.

his son.

He's grown so big.

It's a bit heavy, but it looks like a good meal.

This kid.

At this moment, as if connected by blood, Ran's father felt that the arms he held were full of strength.

Just the next second, he saw a familiar face under the old face at the front of the crowd rushing over.

Holding the child in his arms, Ran's father quickly stepped forward and looked at it.

Ran's mother looked nervous as she watched the child being held. She just looked at the man moving forward and suddenly stopped.

The people who were following behind saw Ran Mu stop and gathered around them, looking at the two of them warily.
