When Yang Xiaotao rode his bicycle back to the courtyard, it was still dawning.

Recently, Yang Xiaotao got off work on time, and then either went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables or went fishing.

The people in the courtyard are also used to it, anyway, looking at Yang Xiaotao, I always feel that the pace of life is slowing down.

At this moment, there is a big rooster hanging on the left side of Yang Xiaotao's bicycle handlebar, his legs are tied, and his wings are a little hanging because they have been empty for a long time, but he also flutters twice from time to time, making a final struggle.

On the other side, there are three ribs, worn by rope, and there is not much meat on them, but it also makes people greedy for a while.

There were also two cabbages on the back seat, tied with straw ropes.

came back along the way, but many people had envy in their eyes.

It's just that after seeing that it was Yang Xiaotao, this envy became a matter of course.

Some people even lamented that they could spend what they could earn.

The more you can spend, the more you can earn.

Yang Xiaotao is accustomed to these, and even doing so can be regarded as normal.

Isn't the money you earn is what you spend?

What's more, I'm not alone now, a big family.

While riding a bicycle, Yang Xiaotao was still lamenting the stability of prices in his heart.

It's been several years, and a big rooster is still the original price, five a piece.

He remembered that when he first met Ran Qiuye, he went to the vegetable market and bought a big rooster, and at that time he asked for a price of five yuan.

This will be put on hold in the future, and it is estimated that it will have to rise to two pieces if it is not doubled.

At that time, Ran Qiuye also had a conversation with the person who bought the chicken, not only talking about two cents, but also asking people to send a handful of dried mushrooms.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao's face flashed the scene at that time.

Scenes of the past, from meeting and acquaintance, from one person to the current family, from the small circle of the courtyard to the big circle of the current machinery factory, and even with the platform of the machinery factory to communicate with more people.

Yang Xiaotao felt a sense of satisfaction, and even a sense of pride in himself.

Along the way, my life is getting better and better, and there are more and more people who care about me.

I am also more deeply integrated into the world.

What Yang Xiaotao has to do now is to live up to this opportunity.

He wants to make the people around him better and better.

The front gate of the quadrangle.

Before Yang Xiaotao entered the house, he saw Yan Fugui walking out with a smile, and then came to Yang Xiaotao happily.

"Xiao Tao, come to the house for a drink tonight?"

Yang Xiaotao stopped the car and looked at Yan Fugui, if it was before, it was estimated that he saw the big in Yang Xiaotao's hand and had a calculating mind.

But now, even if he is allowed to calculate, he has to put the words in his mouth and chew on them, and think about the consequences.

Today's words must be something else.

"Uncle Yan, what kind of happy event did you encounter today?"

Yang Xiaotao asked lightly, Yan Fugui held his glasses and continued to smile, "Hey, it's not that the eldest in the family has found someone, today the woman's family came to take a look, I think you have the highest status in this courtyard, and you have helped Jiefang so much, I want you to come and sit." ”

Yang Xiaotao suddenly realized that this was the case.

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li have been divorced for more than a year, and they thought that they were waiting for each other.

After all, in the original book, the two did not divorce, and in the end they also got into a reunion.

So Yang Xiaotao always felt that the two would still be together.

But I don't want to, now Yan Jiecheng has given up waiting?

No wonder I heard Liu Yuhua say two days ago that the three mothers were walking back and forth with the three aunts on the street, and I thought it was just that the old people in the family were in a hurry, but I didn't think about it, and I really told Yan Jiecheng that it was done.

"Not waiting?"

Yang Xiaotao asked, Yan Fugui's face was embarrassed, and then he said helplessly, "Don't you also want to get back together!" ”

"But they got married last month."

"There's no need for us to shiver here, while we're still old, hurry up and find another one."

Speaking of words, Yan Fugui still has a lot of complaints about Yan Jiecheng's divorce from Yu Li.

In his heart, Yu Li, the daughter-in-law, is doing a good job.

If you want to look good, she is still a female worker in the factory, and she is willing to live in a small house with Yan Jiecheng, and she takes care of her inside and out.

What's more important is how much money you pay every month.

It's a little worse than Ran Qiuye in the courtyard, but at least it's much better than Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru's.

It can be said that marrying Yu Li is the blessing of Yan Jiecheng and the blessing of the Yan family.

It's a pity that his son is not angry, and such a good daughter-in-law is lost.

Alas!

Yang Xiaotao reacted after hearing it, although it was different from the original book, but because of his arrival, there were many different things, and this was just a trivial matter.

Besides, what does this have to do with him?

nodded indifferently, and didn't inquire about the woman, but he didn't want to get involved.

"Three masters, someone from my family is here tonight, so I'll just go."

Saying that, Yang Xiaotao glanced at the door of Yan Fugui's house, then raised the things he was carrying, and politely refused.

Yan Fugui's purpose in letting him go was very simple, that is, to give Yan Xie a platform.

With his status in these four or nine cities, it is estimated that the woman's parents will agree when they hear about it.

After all, in a courtyard, there is a capable person, and some things are convenient.

But is he mature with Yan Jie?

At most, it's a next-door neighbor who doesn't look up and looks down.

And this kind of thing, shouldn't Yan Jiecheng come out by himself?

Let Daddy take the lead, hehe.

Besides, he and the Yan family are also normal neighbors.

To put it bluntly, it is better to have a close relationship with the Wang family of the Intermediate Court.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao open his mouth to refuse, Yan Fugui also sighed in his heart, knowing that his own boss was still not successful.

"Nacheng, after that, set up two tables, and then invite you to have a drink."

Yan Fugui smiled hurriedly, Yang Xiaotao nodded, and drove his bicycle to the middle courtyard.

After Yang Xiaotao left, the three mothers came over with a basin of water, "The master, did he agree?" ”

Yan Fugui sighed and shook his head, "No, he won't be here tonight!" ”

"Oh, this, why can't this come? We've got it done! ”

"What can I do?"

The words fell, and a touch of disappointment flashed in Yan Jiecheng's eyes at the door.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to ease the relationship with Yang Xiaotao, and when the time came, he would bow down and admit his mistake and say a few polite words.

I believe that with Yang Xiaotao's current status and status, he can't be as knowledgeable as himself.

When the time comes, the woman's family will see Yang Xiaotao, and this blind date will definitely be successful.

And if the relationship is good, he can also ask Yang Xiaotao to arrange a job, this kind of trivial matter is completely a matter of Yang Xiaotao's words.

He heard that Yang Xiaotao let several people into the machinery factory, just in the back kitchen, and it was still a formal establishment.

His words are better than those of the street office.

But in his opinion, he didn't expect Yang Xiaotao not to come.

All calculations have come to naught.

Crunch

Yan Jiecheng clenched the door frame, his face bruised, full of anger.

Yan Fugui heard the crunching sound, looked up, and happened to look at the disappearing figure at the door, and he was also dissatisfied in his heart.

If you don't care about your own affairs, you still let your dad come out, what's the matter?

This eldest son used to think it was good to be obedient.

But now it seems that apart from learning his own calculation skills, he can't do anything else.

And even if you don't calculate, you can't be proud, and you can't smash the pot if you can't calculate.

This is not as good as the second child.

At this moment, Yan Fugui missed his second child a little, at least the money sent back was real money.

"What to do? Let's see! ”

Yan Fugui didn't bother to enter the house, took out the fishing rod from the house, stopped riding a bicycle, and walked out of the alley.

"Boss, someone is coming in a while, why are you going?"

Yan Fugui stopped, thought about it again and again, and then sighed and put the fishing rod back in its place.

"I'll hit the soy sauce!"

As he spoke, he left the front yard gate.

Intermediate Court.

Jia Zhang sat on the chair, looking at the hair in his hand, and his triangular eyes were sluggish.

Since the New Year, the headache has become worse and worse, and the hair on the head has fallen out.

Especially on the top of her head, there was originally a piece missing, but fortunately, the hair was long and could cover it, but now the surroundings began to fall, and it was difficult for her to cover it up.

Usually I take care of my hair, and the comb is rarely used now, for fear of catching a bunch of hair.

Thinking of the way I look now, isn't it a joke when I go out?

How long can you stay at home?

Looking up at home, since Qin Huairu married Silly Zhu, the house has been deserted, and when the stick terrier was there before, there was more or less someone to talk to her.

But now, Xiaodang Huaihua lives in an aunt's house, and when she sees her on weekdays, she just shouts grandma and runs away, and she doesn't take her into account at all.

If it weren't for the surname Jia, she would have thought that there would be no these two children.

Even so, this gap made her feel very uncomfortable.

Especially the stupid pillar originally promised to give her three yuan of pension money every month, but it has been delayed for half a year, and I haven't seen a penny.

went to ask for money by herself, but Silly Zhu said no, and asked her to ask Qin Huairu for it.

can ask Qin Huairu if she wants it, and Qin Huairu said that she comes over for dinner every month or something, three yuan is not enough, if it weren't for the previous situation, she would still have to give it.

This made her angry, and she asked for money just to buy painkillers.

But now, as I said before, it won't all count at this point, right?

The food is not delicious, every time the stupid pillar steals the lunch box back, she gets a little oil and water, and even only a small piece of fat, enough for her to eat?

Also, in addition to the nest head, it is tortillas.

I don't even give Erhe noodles steamed buns.

It's been a very uncomfortable day.

It's just that she doesn't dare to say more when she is uncomfortable!

Nothing else, offending Qin Huairu is equivalent to offending the stupid pillar and offending an aunt.

How will I eat in the future?

You know, she has a rural hukou and has not established a food supply.

was feeling sorry for himself, and there was a rooster cry in his ears,

Jia Zhang's immediately leaned on the window, and saw Yang Xiaotao driving the car in, with a big rooster and pork ribs hanging on the car.

I couldn't help but gurgle in my stomach, and my mouth was even more chirping, looking for the taste of meat.

When I saw this, my heart was filled with sour water, and the beauty of the past came to my mind.

The past is vivid.

That year, their family bought a sewing machine, and the whole alley was envious, praising her for marrying a capable man.

That year, Dongxu married Qin Huairu and had a child, and their Jia family branched out.

Those years.

The children are brought with them, they don't have to do food, they don't have to do work, they can also enjoy the filial piety of their sons and daughters-in-law, and they have five yuan of pension money every month.

Coupled with the care of an uncle in the courtyard, he is also a figure with a head and a face in the courtyard.

Those days were no different from the old landlord's wife.

At that time, their family was also able to eat meat.

But now...

Seeing Yang Xiaotao return home, Jia Zhang's felt distressed.

How long has it been since she had eaten chicken?

When did she become like this?

Looking at the reflection on the window glass, Jia Zhang's couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, his face was pressed against the cold glass, and tears flowed down, mixing the ashes on the glass together, leaving turbidity marks.

"Lao Jia, Dongxu! Where are you? ”

"I'm having such a hard time now! If you're gone, no one will care about me, an old woman! ”

"Lao Jia, Dongxu! Now, there's nothing, there's nothing..."

The tears on his face flowed more and more, and his voice became poignant.

"Lao Jia! I'm sorry for you, I didn't keep this home! ”

"Lao Jia, Dongxu, our family..."

"Let's have this home..."

Suddenly, the crying on Jia Zhang's face stopped abruptly, ignoring the mud in his mouth, he muttered softly, and then showed an excited expression.
