Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 112
In the evening, when Yang Xiaotao came home, he saw a piece of red paper on the ground as soon as he opened the door, and felt strange.

He picked it up and smiled immediately.

"This, me, fuck."

"Do you really have the face to send it here?"

Yang Xiaotao glanced at it, completely speechless.

Especially the last change.

An egg was forced into the back of the original number two, and it became twenty.

Looking at the crooked characters, this is something Jia Zhang can do.

"I really don't know where the courage comes from?"

"This is taking yourself for a fool, a fool."

'I went here, I am a fool. "

As he said, he kneaded it into a ball and was about to throw it out.

But after thinking about it, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After a while, Xiao Wei flew back from the back window, and the invitation landed on the windowsill of Xu Damao's house.

Regardless of the disgusting things about the Jia family, Yang Xiaotao took out a piece of beef, cut it into strips with a Garuda knife, and prepared a pot of stewed beef with tomatoes to make up for the lack of physical strength today.

When eating in the evening, I heard Xu Damao's yelling and cursing from the backyard, as well as Lou Xiao'e's persuasion.

Jia Zhang of the Intermediate People's Court has been paying attention to the situation of Yang Xiaotao's family. Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao is not talking or making trouble, and he has some expectations in his heart. If he really comes, wouldn't the 20 yuan be his own?
As for repaying the child's money, that has to be done after he finds a wife.

Where can a child come from without a wife?

Jia Zhang was sure that Yang Xiaotao would not be able to find a wife, and the money was for nothing.

As for Xu Damao's shout in the backyard, she didn't take it to heart at all.

Ready to eat in a happy mood, Qin Huairu also felt strange that today's mother-in-law is a bit "kind".

She didn't know about Jia Zhang's flirtatious operation, if she knew, she would definitely give her a big roll of her eyes, and really treat others as fools.

When the salary is paid at the end of the month, Yang Xiaotao is 47.5, Jia Dongxu is still 27.5, there is a difference of 20 yuan in the middle, and there is a lot of difference in food stamps and so on.

Every time at this time, it is a day of suffering for the Jia family.

Ever since Yang Xiaotao posted more than Jia Dongxu, the family has never been happy.

The people in the courtyard also compare both openly and secretly, and there are often dwarf voices laughing at Qin Huairu's lack of vision.

Regarding this, Jia Dongxu was furious, but he didn't get angry. Who made him not live up to it?

Apart from continuing to curse, Jia Zhang had no choice but to reap some benefits.

Qin Huairu didn't dare to think about it, because thinking about it made her feel distressed, so she could only focus on her son and find some psychological comfort.

But today, when Sha Zhu returned to the yard, he told about Yang Xiaotao's reward of a catty of pork, and depending on what the leader meant, there might be more in the future. .

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao swaggered into the courtyard with the pork in his hand, and the third master at the door never left his eyes.

Although he knew that Yang Xiaotao could get meaty smell every day, but he only thought of it as a meal and touched his lips.

Now, buying meat requires not only money but also meat coupons, and they don’t pay too much at a time.

Therefore, people who want to eat meat have to run twice more.

Of course, you can also go to the Pigeon Market, those people with powerful means can get a pig, as long as you have money.

However, you have to be sneaky and don't get reported.

Carrying a catty of white pork like Yang Xiaotao swaggered through the market, but it attracted a lot of attention.

"Xiaotao, is this a reward?"

Yan Fugui knew about it a long time ago, so he asked a lot and made a conversation.

"Well, it's a workshop reward."

Yang Xiaotao replied, and didn't want to say more, but Yan Fugui stepped forward, "Oh, this white meat accounts for more than half. Is there a piece of pig skin?"

"At least two taels of oil can be boiled out, you can earn it!"

Yan Fugui stared at the pork for a while, but Yang Xiaotao was also helpless.

In fact, he wanted a thinner piece, but Wang Fa and the others had to give it to him, no matter what.

This is also a characteristic of the times. When buying meat, it must be fat, which can be eaten and oiled.

Anyone who wants to buy meat to be thin will either live poorly or be ridiculed as a fool.

For the kindness of Wang Fa and the others, Yang Xiaotao could only hold his nose and accept it.

I thought about going home, frying the oil and putting it in the oil tank, and it would be good to mix it with rice in the future.

"Xiaotao, this lard is not made simply, you three mothers..."

Yan Fugui spoke vigorously, and Yang Xiaotao knew the words that followed after hearing the first half of the sentence, so he didn't speak, he accelerated and walked directly into the courtyard.

After Yan Fugui said half of the nonsense, he was so blocked and panicked that he complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out.

The current Yang Xiaotao is different from before. For such a calculating person, it is best not to offend him.

Carrying the meat, Yang Xiaotao walked home amidst the envy of the people in the middle court. He had just paid his salary, so he naturally wanted to reward him.

If in the previous life, Yang Xiaotao was very disgusted with eating big meals when he was paid and eating instant noodles at the end of the month, it was difficult to accept this habit.

But when he came to this world, it was like this all around him, and he couldn't escape it.

The surrounding people usually eat steamed buns, steamed buns with pickles, lumps and noodles, and have to wait until the holidays to eat some meat. Even if they can’t eat a hearty meal when they are paid, they still want to buy something good, so that the family can feel good.

Now Yang Xiaotao is naturally not under any pressure. When he has a family and a child in the future, he still wants to eat and drink like this, so he has to think carefully.

Of course, this is also the view of most people in the courtyard.

So much so that under Yang Xiaotao's personal teaching, many young people don't want to get married too early, and want to spend a few more years of single good times.

Jia Zhang looked at Yang Xiaotao carrying the meat to the house, thinking that this guy would beg for 20 yuan tomorrow, and felt very happy.

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao fried lard and ate a braised crucian carp with two bowls of rice mixed with the fat residue. After reading a book, he began to rest.

One night passed, and before I got up, I heard the sound of thunderbolts in the yard, and someone said this loudly, making the noise to death.

In the middle courtyard, Sha Zhu was dragged out of the room by Jia Zhang early in the morning, preparing for today's banquet.

In fact, the full moon of the stick is three days away, but Jia Zhang can't wait.

The corn bread their family eats is about to bottom out. They eat coarse grains every day, and their throats are beeping. It just happened that Jia Dongxu just got paid yesterday. He has some money at home and uses it to buy some vegetables and meat. Today, he will deal with the business , eat a meal to relieve hunger.

"Aunt Jia, it doesn't have to be so early."

While cleaning the pot, Shazhu picked up cooking utensils from home.

"It's still early? The sun is already up, hurry up and make arrangements, there will be a lot of people coming today, silly Zhu, you have to cheer up."

Jia Zhang, who had been excited all night last night, had dark circles under her eyes and looked on fire.

Silly Zhu sighed, took a breath, and picked it up helplessly.

"Zhuzi, I will trouble you today, come to my house for a drink after lunch!"

Qinhuai District walked over with a stick in his arms, wearing a small white dress, wrapped the child tightly with a small quilt, and stood there slim and graceful.

Last night, when Jia Zhang talked about the arrangements for today, she was also surprised. She told her family that the day would be next Monday, but her mother-in-law insisted that everyone went to work on Monday, and no one could come.

The implication is that when Monday comes, there may be less money to be collected.

Besides, as long as the money is collected, someone from the family will open another table at that time, and it won't cost much.

"Hey, no problem!"

Silly Zhu looked at Qin Huairu, probably just finished breastfeeding, and there was still white milk in the corner of the stick's mouth. Silly Zhu glanced down and couldn't help but glance down, and a shameful snow-white part of the neckline came into view.

Silly Zhu took a mouthful of saliva, and when he saw Mrs. Jia and Zhang approaching, he quickly lowered his head, "Sister Qin, Aunt Jia, you guys prepare the dishes, and I'll start the fire in a while."

Qin Huairu nodded in response, but Jia Zhang who was on the side told Sha Zhu, "Si Zhu, we are all in the same courtyard, so don't make me a cook."

Silly Zhu was furious when he heard the words, and he cooked for your family for nothing, and even added seasoning, are you still disgusting?
Silly Zhu almost dropped the knife and gave up, but seeing Qin Huairu's appearance, he held back his breath, didn't talk to Jia Zhang, didn't speak, just chopped the cabbage vigorously.

Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't help either, she just watched from the sidelines, still muttering, which annoyed Sha Zhu very much.

After a while, Jia Dongxu came back from the outside with three catties of pork in his hand. He got up early and went to the pigeon market to buy it. It cost two yuan more than usual, but his heart ached.

After handing over the meat to Sha Zhu, Jia Dongxu began to borrow tables and chairs from various houses, preparing to put them in the courtyard.

And Jia Zhang's is even more inseparable, for fear that the silly pig will be ignorant of the pork.

After a while, the first uncle brought the first mother over to help, the third uncle also brought the whole family over, even the third mother who was still in confinement was sitting with little Yan Jiedi and Qin Huairu in her arms, and He Yushui was there on vacation, Several people teased the two children, it was very lively.

The third master still has another job, which is to be in charge of bookkeeping. The Jia family is willing to pay fifty cents for this job, and he is also happy to contribute.

In the end, the second uncle took official steps, led the second aunt and three sons over, sat at a table, and drank tea leisurely, regardless of others.

Gradually, a lot of people gathered in the middle courtyard, but most of them were watching the strange incident, only a few old women and young daughters-in-law helped.

Yang Xiaotao stood in the yard, gnawing on carrots, watching the busy scene in the yard, humming a word.

"Xiao Tao!"

Looking up, Uncle Chen and Uncle Chen beside him are fully dressed.

"Master, are you going out?"

"Ah, I went to drink at my old brother's house today, and we won't come back."

Uncle Chen glanced at the scene in the middle courtyard, said something to Yang Xiaotao, and asked him at the end.

"Do you want to go together?"

Yang Xiaotao waved his hands again and again, and went by himself, didn't he miss this scene?
"You go, I'll take care of the house."

Click click
Yang Xiaotao gnawed on the radish, it was a bit spicy.

The old couple didn't say much, it's still early, there's nothing to go out, and it's a slap in the face to leave after the banquet is about to start.

The two walked through the middle courtyard, and went out without saying anything.

Then, after a while, someone thought about it and started to walk out.

The family members were still busy, and the people in the yard were all smiling when they saw the help, and they didn't notice that a few families quietly closed the doors and went out.

Yang Xiaotao found a bench and sat in the yard, holding the leftover radish root and turning it gently, glanced around the yard, with a smile on his face.

"I have seen, Jinling Jade Palace, Yingxiao dawn.Qinhuai Water Pavilion, flowers bloom early. '

'Who knew it would be easy to freeze!'

'Seeing him build a tall building, seeing him entertain guests, seeing his building collapse.'

Turn around and go back to the house to prepare lunch.

Eat and drink enough to watch the big show.
