There was a burst of firecrackers in ping-pong, and the alley became lively again.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I walked the streets and said good to each other.

As soon as I got up to clean up, there was a knock at the door.

Yang Xiaotao opened the door and saw several children appear at the door together, led by Yan Jiefang and Wang Xiaohu, followed by seven or eight children, and saw Yang Xiaotao shouting in unison, "Brother Tao, Happy New Year!" ”

The sound is neat and apparently rehearsed.

Yang Xiaotao also knew what was going on, and immediately took out a porcelain plate from the house, which contained melon seeds and peanuts, as well as a few embellished white rabbit toffee.

This is also specially prepared by Yang Xiaotao, in order to add a little New Year's flavor.

Seven or eight children looked at the White Rabbit toffee, each wanting it, but none of them reached out.

Yang Xiaotao smiled, personally picked out the toffee, and then one by one, and continued to put the rest on the plate.

A few children got toffee, smiled happily, and ran to other people's houses.

A piece of candy is the children's feelings about the New Year.

Simple child.

After closing the door of the house, Yang Xiaotao went to Uncle Chen's house to sit down, and then left the courtyard and walked to Zhou's house.

Along the way, there was an endless stream of lively crowds, and the atmosphere of celebration came to the face.

Even Xiaowei, who was squatting on the neckline, also had a feeling of joy, which made Yang Xiaotao involuntarily speed up his pace.

In comparison, the Zhou family is more lively, the two girls also tied red silk ropes this year, Zhou Kui is still in his previous clothes, squatting at the door and watching a group of children use firecrackers to blow up the snow and play.

When Yang Xiaotao came, Zhou Kui came out from afar, and sat down at home after a while.

The stove in the house was boiling, the iron kettle was boiling, and the white gas was bubbling out.

Aunt Zhou took out melon seeds, sat aside, and talked about the New Year.

After a while, Zhou Peng came back from outside, he went out early in the morning, led his two younger sisters to relatives, and finally sent his sister back, and went to the pigeon market outside the mouth of the alley.

People who celebrate the New Year also have to eat and do business.

In this regard, the upper side will open one eye and close one eye.

When Zhou Peng came back, he was carrying a small rooster in his hand, which should be used by the countrymen to exchange money.

"Brother Tao, you're here!"

Zhou Peng was also happy when he looked at Yang Xiaotao, yesterday Zhou Kui brought back five eggs, but it made the two younger sisters a lot happier.

No, I happened to pay my salary, and I met someone who was in a hurry to use the money, so I spent one yuan and two to buy this chicken.

Yang Xiaotao nodded and greeted, and looked at the little rooster at the end, it was not big, it was just over two catties, generally speaking, this catty could not be sold, unless it was urgent money.

"I met it at the mouth of the alley, and the family asked for money for the child to marry a daughter-in-law, so he came up and sold it."

"Stay and eat at noon today."

Zhou Peng warmly invited, and Yang Xiaotao was not polite, "Then try Aunt Zhou's craftsmanship." ”

When I came to this world, except for eating a meal of oil meat at the Yongjun restaurant, I really haven't eaten well in the past few days.

Back at Zhou's house, Zhou Kui plucked his hair and broke his belly, and quickly picked it up.

After eating at noon, Yang Xiaotao sat for a while before leaving.

Zhou Peng sent it to the gate, said that he would go to his house tomorrow to sit down, and then shook his hand and left.

This is the New Year, the younger generation pays New Year's greetings to the elders, and the younger ones go to the big ones' homes.

Walking out of Zhou's house, Yang Xiaotao thought about the guests the day after tomorrow, and he had a headache.

The ingredients are easy to say, you can buy them with money, but the problem is that he can't cook.

"Forget it, let's go to the restaurant."

Yang Xiaotao finally gave up struggling, and planned to go to the restaurant to buy more cooked food, the kind that can be eaten hot at home.

The Yongjun restaurant is not closed, but there is no business either.

When Yang Xiaotao walked in, the couple were sitting on the table drinking tea, and when they saw Yang Xiaotao coming over, they immediately stepped forward enthusiastically.

"Eldest sister, big brother has a good New Year."

"Little comrade, Happy New Year!"

To be polite, Yang Xiaotao went straight to the point.

Two plates of braised pork, two plates of back pot meat, two roast chickens, and thirty steamed buns, directly rounded up the quota of today's meat dishes, which made the couple happy for a while, and said that they could get off work early.

Give money and tickets, pack and leave.

Before leaving, the eldest sister also gave a bottle of sorghum wine, saying that it was home-brewed and did not cost money.

The New Year's is lively.

Yang Xiaotao accepted it politely, but still gave five cents.

Not to mention the salary just paid, but yesterday Silly Zhu also compensated ten yuan, which was just used for it.

As for how to live in the future, let's not mention that there is a canteen in the factory, but I just go home and be alone, why can't I deal with it?

This is typical, one person feeds enough and the whole family does not go hungry.

Leave the restaurant, walk around the corner where no one is around, and send the packed meal buns into the storage space.

Stop-and-go, or aimlessly, feel the Sijiu City after the snow, feel the Sijiu City of the New Year, and feel the free air.

Perhaps, this new country is still moving forward in tribulation at the moment, but the majestic vitality is destined for her future achievements, this is a vigorous country, a country with high spirits of the people.

Yang Xiaotao kept thinking, walked around and took a look, and I didn't know when he came to a house.

It's not that the house is peculiar, it's that there is something special about the items placed around the house.

This is a waste collection point.

In these days, even those who collect waste need the intervention of the state, not everyone can collect it, and not everyone can pick up garbage.

At this time, several children came running happily with a bag of soda bottles, and then handed it to a man in a yellow coat, who just weighed it, and then took out two cents and handed it to the leading child, and then the child ran away with a smile, and said that he was going to buy firecrackers.

Yang Xiaotao thought about it or walked in, the man looked at Yang Xiaotao, and stepped forward with a smile, "Comrade, what's the matter with you?" ”

"Hello, comrade, I was passing by here, and I wanted to ask if we have any waste books here?"

"Scrap books?"

"Well, I'm a high school student and want to find some books."

"Oh, that's right, come in."

The man invited Yang Xiaotao in, Yang Xiaotao dug into his pocket, and found that except for a few pieces of sugar, no cigarettes were prepared.

"Next time you go out, prepare a box of cigarettes!"

With this in mind, walk into the house.

"Here, it's more chaotic, someone will deal with it after the New Year, and it will be better then."

"By the way, my name is Huang Da Niu, you can call me Lao Huang."

The man said boldly, and Yang Xiaotao shouted, "Brother Huang." ”

The two walked together, and Huang Daniu pointed to a wooden box around the corner.

"I looked at the broken furniture that someone handled two days ago, and there were some books in the box."

"I was going to take it home and wipe the child's buttocks, but since you want it, take it."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the wooden box, half a meter square, and there were a few holes on it, obviously a little old.

"Brother Huang, thank you so much."

In the past few days, I have read the high school textbooks at home again, and there has been no movement since the credits rose to 180, which is still the result of familiarization, and if you want to accumulate credits, you can only find other ways.

Yang Xiaotao also tried to learn from other aspects, after all, reading is only part of learning.

The most direct is to practice calligraphy, find out the book when you go to school, take out the pen and start practicing.

However, this practice is a water grinding kung fu, and it will not have much effect for a while.

After being prompted by the system and giving 5 credits, there was no progress for a long time.

Obviously, the fastest way to earn credits at this stage is to read books.

As for the people in the courtyard, it is estimated that Yan Fugui has books at home.

But Yang Xiaotao doesn't want to be involved too deeply, Yan Fugui can only say that he loves to calculate, is greedy for small and cheap, and is not bad compared to Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.

But that's it, he doesn't want to be entangled, Yan Fugui's family is all abacus, and if they get entangled, it will be a lot of trouble.

I originally thought that after the start of construction, I would ask the director to issue a certificate and go to the library to get a library card, but I didn't expect that there were books in this recycling point.

"You're welcome, those boys in my family won't go to school after elementary school, they are naughty all day long, and they have a headache when they read."

"Wipe their butts, some of them can't afford to use, it's better to give them to these readers."

Huang Da Niu is bold, of course, this may be because there is not much waste paper.

Yang Xiaotao took out five cents and stuffed it into Huang Da Niu's hand, Huang Da Niu was a little expensive no matter how he said it, but Yang Xiaotao was resolute.

"Brother Huang, if you think it's too much, help me pay attention to it in the future, and keep the book for me."

Huang Daniu accepted the money after hearing this, and promised to keep it for him.

Yang Xiaotao took out a few more White Rabbit toffee, "Give them to my nephews to taste." ”

Now Huang Daniu smiled even more happily, accepted the toffee and sent Yang Xiaotao away.

Yang Xiaotao held the box, walked to the corner and opened it, and then closed it again, leaving only the empty box in his hand.

Xiaowei also came out, submerged in the box, and then came out again, apparently not interested in the box.

With the harvest, Yang Xiaotao was in a good mood and walked towards the courtyard.

When he came to the courtyard, the third master looked at Yang Xiaotao at the door, and his eyes were directly on the box, there must have been something in such a big box.

"Xiao Tao, are you back? What are you buying? ”

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that the three masters haven't provoked him these days, and he, Yang Xiaotao, is not a blackened troll, he sprays when he sees someone.

"Three masters, I went out and picked up a box of books."

Yang Xiaotao said, raising his legs and walking into the compound.

"Books?"

Yan Fugui was taken aback, and then remembered that Yang Xiaotao was also a senior in high school, and he only had a high school degree.

"If this kid finishes reading, he can be a teacher."

Yan Fugui thought in his heart, but he picked up the fishing rod and walked out.

The plan of the year lies in spring.

Early birds get worms.

Yang Xiaotao came to the middle courtyard, and Silly Zhu said this to Jia Dongxu happily, although he was still injured, it did not hinder his activities.

In the Jia family's house, Qin Huairu was steaming her nest, and as for Jia Zhang's family, she was still sitting at the door, basking in the sun.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao coming back with the box, several people all looked at him, and Jia Zhang's was even more scolding, but his voice was much lowered.

Yang Xiaotao doesn't even look at it, if he is angry with this kind of person every day, then he can't become a gas bag?

When I got home, I took out the book, and as for the box, I handed it to Xiaowei, no matter what, it was also a place to hold things, and it could still be used after repairing.

Putting the books in order, most of them are about geography, and there are a few notebooks.

When I opened it, it was scribbled and written about geology.

Obviously, the owner of these books is a student of geography, and I just don't know if it's a teacher or a student.

Yang Xiaotao put the book in order and began to burn the stove to warm the house.

In the evening, someone knocked on the door again, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Wang Dashan in the courtyard.

"Uncle Dashan, why are you here?"

Wang Dashan is five big and three thick, and his voice is loud.

"It's okay to come and take a look, and by the way, I asked you to go to my house for a drink at night."

Yang Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, but when he saw that Wang Dashan was not polite, he readily agreed.

Again, although there are many birds and beasts in this courtyard, they are not all bad people.

In this quadrangle, even good people will become indifferent for self-preservation.

But don't forget about this world, a world that is far from being as filthy as later generations, where people have a low standard of living but are spiritually rich.

Most people have a passionate heart.

It's just that several birds and beasts in this era happened to gather in a courtyard.

Maybe the Wang family also has its own purpose, but for Yang Xiaotao, as long as he can get along, he doesn't mind making friends.

For these people, Yang Xiaotao will not be able to make friends, but he will not be estranged.

Isn't there a popular saying in my previous life that the best way to deal with an enemy is to turn an enemy's friend into your own.

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao came to Wang's house with wine, in addition to this, there were several other people in the courtyard.

They didn't react to Yang Xiaotao's arrival, a few people drank and ate, and they didn't say a word about the things in the courtyard, but they also enhanced their feelings at the wine table.

also found that Yang Xiaotao is not so unkind, he is also a flesh-and-blood person.

A man who is drunk and scolds his mother.
