At night, Jia Zhang, who woke up from a coma, looked at a room full of leftovers, full of sadness.

For this full moon wine, their family spent nearly 30 yuan, but in the end they only received 20 yuan, and they lost 10 yuan only on the surface.

Jia Zhang got out of bed tremblingly, his stomach growled, and he searched around the rice bucket, but he couldn't find a piece of meat.

"You it, you don't leave it for our family at all!"

Jia Zhang sat on the ground and wept bitterly.

Jia Dongxu, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, was woken up, so he lowered his mouth and finally lay on the bed, not wanting to care about these troubles.

As for Qin Huairu, he was hot on the side.

She wasn't hungry, and the bowl of meat made her eat to her heart's content, and it was also for the stick terrier to eat, and she didn't feel any guilt in her heart.

For a while, the Jia family cried and screamed, and the child's screams kept ringing.

Yan family, Yan Fugui returned home satisfied, and closed the door.

Then the three mothers smiled in their eyes, looked at the food that the family put on the table, and kept praising it.

"Our family still has the ability."

"Liberation, you stupid boy, learn from your brother, what are you doing with eggplants? Take the meat if you want! ”

The three mothers said, looking for the dishes on the table and putting them away, these dishes can't be eaten at once, you have to save some.

Yan Fugui nodded, and the taste of meat was still in his mouth.

"Don't run to the middle courtyard for the next two days, we have taken advantage, we have to pay attention."

"Got it, Dad."

Yan Jiecheng and a few people responded, Yan Fugui nodded, still thinking in his heart, he didn't ask for the money for this help.

The night passed, and as soon as Yang Xiaotao woke up the next day, he heard scolding from the middle courtyard.

Xiaowei was lying at the door, screaming, and when Yang Xiaotao heard it, it turned out that the third master and Jia Zhang were scolding.

"These two people can really make trouble."

Since he woke up and didn't sleep again, Yang Xiaotao put on his clothes and pushed the door open, and saw Jia Zhang's pointing at Yan Fugui and counting.

"Give money? What money to give? ”

"Yan Laoxi has written more than 30 words, and he is embarrassed to ask for money?"

Jia Zhang's got up early in the morning, thinking that there were so many dishes left on the table, and he panicked angrily.

Especially a few boys from Yan Fugui's family, the family ate two tables of dishes, and if she didn't find some back, she felt uncomfortable.

However, before she could go out to find Yan Fugui, she saw Yan Fugui coming out of the Hanging Flower Gate, and the two happened to get together.

Yan Fugui didn't sleep well last night, although he took advantage of the Jia family, but the "salary" he promised was not given, which made his heart itch.

That's five cents.

It doesn't matter how much, as long as you can take advantage, every penny is happy.

So, when he got up in the morning, Yan Fugui got dressed and prepared to come to Jia's house to get his salary back.

As soon as he came in, he saw Jia Zhang's family, so Yan Fugui opened his mouth to explain his intentions.

Na Cheng thought, as soon as these words came out, Jia Zhang's was like a lit magic bullet, spurting up.

Hearing Jia Zhang's words, Yan Fugui is not good at stubble.

"It is only natural to pay for work."

"This is the rule, do you understand the rules, if your Jia family breaks the rules, don't gain a foothold in this courtyard in the future."

The three masters are pulling the tiger skin, and they may be able to suppress Jia Zhang's family in normal times, but today Jia Zhang's heart only thinks about the loss in his own family, so how can he care about any rules and regulations.

"Yan Laoxi, your family has two tables of dishes, you will compensate my family for this loss, otherwise the old lady will not be able to spare you."

"If you don't give me ten dollars today, it's not over."

Yan Fugui looked at Jia Zhang's like this, and knew that today's salary was going to come back, and he didn't want to continue chattering here, so he turned around and ran.

"I don't have the same general knowledge as you don't know the rules."

After finishing speaking, he ran out, but Jia Zhang's behind him didn't react, and he didn't see anyone.

"Don't run!"

Jia Zhang chased after him and quickly ran to the front yard.

Yang Xiaotao watched the two people who ran away and turned back to the house to wash.

After a while, the noise of two women came from the front yard, which lasted for a long time.

At noon, Yang Xiaotao went fishing with a fishing rod, and when he passed by the front yard, he saw a scratch on the face of the three mothers, but he looked very proud, and he should have suffered no loss.

This is the people in the courtyard, yesterday they could still drink and laugh together, and after a day they would fight, tear their faces, and they would be reconciled again in two days.

When I went to the fishing place in the West Sea, I found a place to prop up a fishing rod, took out a book I borrowed from the library, and fished while watching.

The autumn wind blows ripples, and the fish float keeps nodding, breaking the calm water.

Time is like a fish drifting in the water, passing little by little, and in a blink of an eye it was noon, and Yang Xiaotao also caught four or five fish, enough to eat in the past few days, so he went home with the fish basket.

When he came to the courtyard and walked past the door of Jia's house, he naturally received an envious "scolding", Yang Xiaotao was not surprised, and deliberately shook off the fish basket, revealing a few big fish, which made Jia Zhang's cover his chest and almost rolled his eyes.

Back at home, Yang Xiaotao turned on the fire to cook and lived a monotonous and comfortable life.

Two days later.

On the day of the full moon, the courtyard was lively again.

The nephew passed the full moon, and the daughter married into the city, and the people of the Qin family from the countryside went out early and came to the courtyard before lunch.

This time, in addition to Qin Huairu's father and mother, there are also brothers and sisters-in-law, and the family of four is complete.

With so many people coming to eat, there are no local products for the money, and with the snobbery of the Jia family, they naturally have no good face.

Jia Dongxu had a cold face, he didn't drink wine, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't call him.

Jia Zhang's family said cool things inside and out, and all they entertained were leftover meals, and the Qin family was also uncomfortable.

As soon as she finished eating in the afternoon, Qin's mother said a few words to her daughter, and then led the people back to the village.

Qin Huairu sent her family out of the courtyard with a smile on her face, standing in the cold wind, watching her parents who raised her gradually walk away, looking at the old father's silent appearance, her heart was like a boulder stewed and out of breath.

The mother's words are still in her ears, "Guarantee your body, you are also a mother, and you have to think about your children in the future." ”

Thinking of her mother's gray hair, thinking of her father's forehead full of wrinkles, and the eyes of her brother and sister-in-law, Qin Huairu's heart was like a knife.

Until you can't see the figure, you look down, and the sobs sound, and the tears slide down and are dried by the wind.

It was her lifelong dream to marry in the city, but now that her dream has come true and she has children, she has not received the respect she wants.

In this family, she is the most humble existence.

Raised his hand and wiped his face with his clothes, picked up his face clean, faced the north wind, let the wind blow on his face, and strode towards the courtyard.

Confidence stays on the face.

Even if it is a humble existence, it is a city person.

……

Time passes, and the stars change.

In a blink of an eye, it has come to the end of the month, the weather is getting colder and colder, Sijiu City is like this, the weather is cold early, and the winter is still long.

When I got up in the morning, the water tank in the yard had formed a layer of ice, Yang Xiaotao took a scoop of water and poured it into the kettle, and hurried back to the house, ready to cook on the fire.

Last week's exchange column was updated, Yang Xiaotao exchanged two sets of warm autumn clothes and pants in one go, and he also wanted to get one for Uncle Chen, but he was afraid that he would not be able to explain the origin, so he had to give up.

In addition to this, there is an electric blanket with a double bed.

In this era, there was no factory production of this thing in China, first, there was no technology, and second, there was no market.

Now even electricity is a problem, what is the use of electric blankets at home if you can't afford electricity?

But Yang Xiaotao didn't think about it so much, anyway, now he is alone at home, so he can't cover it with a quilt, and the people in the courtyard haven't seen it, and they don't know what it is.

As a result, pulling electricity has become a problem that Yang Xiaotao has to solve at the moment.

After the electricity is turned on, there is no need to light the lamp to read books in the future, and the electrical appliances that are exchanged for them also have a place to use.

As for the cost, Yang Xiaotao looked at the fact that his small treasury had exceeded seven hundred during this time.

Among them, the birds and beasts in the courtyard have "contributed" a lot, and the wages are not much, which is enough to pull the wires.

So during this time, Yang Xiaotao went to Director Wang's house when he was free, mainly because he was an electrician, in charge of the power supply of this area.

After eating, Yang Xiaotao put on his coat and opened the door to go out.

In the middle courtyard, Jia Zhang's family was not afraid of the cold, and he sat in the courtyard in the morning, just staring at the front yard.

Yang Xiaotao naturally knew what was going on, the Jia family had been feasted by Yan Fugui before, and she wanted to eat it back.

Yan Jiedi of the three great masters is also almost full moon, and Jia Zhang's family has been waiting for this day for a long time.

However, Yang Xiaotao felt that Jia Zhang's should have waited in vain.

Based on his understanding of Yan Laoxi, this guy is so calculating, nine times out of ten, he won't do it.

Leaving the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao took out two cabbages, a small bag of eggs, and a bag of white rabbit candy from the space.

Following the road, I soon came to Director Wang's house.

Bang bang

The door opened, Li Tiejun looked at Yang Xiaotao, and hurriedly welcomed in.

"Xiao Tao, you sit down first, and I'll call you Aunt Wang."

Li Tiejun beckoned Yang Xiaotao to sit down, and was about to go to the neighborhood to find Director Wang.

"Uncle Li, don't worry, I'm here to find you for something this time."

When Li Tiejun heard this, he didn't go out, but just asked Xiaohuzi, who was eating candy on the side, to find someone.

"Uncle Li, it's not about to be the New Year, I want to pull a wire at home, do you think it's okay?"

"Pulling the wire?"

Li Tiejun was stunned for a moment, but in recent years, many people have begun to use electric lights, thinking of the ability of the kid in front of him, he immediately nodded and agreed, "No problem." ”

"After eating, I'll go to your place and see, how to pull!"

"Okay."

While the two were talking, Director Wang walked back from outside and lectured to Yang Xiaotao again.

"Aunt Wang, this dish is grown in the yard, and I can't finish the eggs, just to supplement the nutrition of the tiger."

Director Wang couldn't help him, so he could only smile and let him stay for dinner.

Then talking about pulling wires, Director Wang asked again, "It costs a lot of money to pull wires, I remember that there are no telephone poles in your compound." ”

Yang Xiaotao nodded, not only their compound, but also the entire alley did not pull wires.

"It's not a little money in hand, it's also convenient to read, sooner or later."

Yang Xiaotao explained that everyone knows that he likes to read books and learn, and this reason is also in the past.

"You can pull it up first, and whoever wants to use it again in the future can find some to make up for it and come back."

Li Tiejun said on the side, this is also the current actual situation.

After all, a wire can be divided into several pieces, and you may be able to earn a lot back when the time comes.

Regarding the matter of making money to make up for it, Yang Xiaotao did not take it to heart.

In my previous life, I was accustomed to the environment of electrical appliances, and naturally knew that electricity would improve the quality of human life.

After a brief meal at noon, Li Tiejun and Yang Xiaotao walked to the courtyard together.

Coming to the mouth of the alley, Li Tiejun looked at the telephone pole, and then came to Yang Xiaotao's house, calculated the distance, "From the telephone pole to your house, I estimate that it will take 100 meters." ”

"I looked at it, in addition to setting up a telephone pole at the entrance of the alley, it would take four more to pull it up."

"When you enter the yard, you can walk to the back of the house."

Li Tiejun calculated, and Yang Xiaotao followed.

"Uncle Li, I don't understand this, just come."

"In short, you can calculate it as you want, and there are wage costs, don't be polite to me."

Li Tiejun snorted when he heard this, "You kid still come here?" ”

Yang Xiaotao scratched his head, and then said no more.
