Scholars in the courtyard

Ran's father sat at his desk and put the clutter in his mind behind him.

I looked at the photo on the table and saw that it was a family photo.

In the photo, several little guys are smiling happily.

For a moment, I missed it a little.

Pick up the phone and dial the number.

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao felt a little melancholy after returning from the workshop.

In a short time, word spread throughout the machinery factory that he had exchanged a motorcycle for a gold knife.

And the more it spreads, the more evil it becomes.

Everywhere he went, people asked, but he couldn't tell lies with his eyes open.

This matter is a bit big.

Back in the office, as soon as I sat down on my chair, I heard the phone ring.

Yang Xiaotao picked it up and found it belonged to Ran's father.

Ran's father said that he wanted to get together in the evening and have a meal as a family. Naturally, Yang Xiaotao would not refuse and said that he would pick Ran Qiuye back later.

Ran's father nodded and was about to hang up the phone, but Yang Xiaotao told him about the golden knife.

On the other end of the phone, Ran's father, who was listening to the whole story, felt that his thinking could not keep up with Yang Xiaotao's speaking speed.

After digesting it for a while, he said, "Are you worried now that this knife will bring disaster?"

"Well, I don't think it's a good thing."

Yang Xiaotao said seriously, "Besides, strictly speaking, this motorcycle is made with materials and tools from the machinery factory. I can only be regarded as a machining worker."

"Well, it's good that you can realize this. It means you are not blinded by wealth."

Ran's father was very pleased, at least his son-in-law was not that kind of brainless person.

"Dad, tell me, what should I do?"

Ran's father thought for a while, "It's best to turn the personal into the collective, you know."

After saying this, Yang Xiaotao suddenly understood and immediately understood, "I understand."

"This knife belongs to the Red Star Machinery Factory."

On the other side, Ran's father smiled. It was just a golden sword. With Yang Xiaotao's ability, future achievements could never be measured by a piece of gold.

"Remember to go early in the evening so we can have a drink."

"it is good!"

Both of them were in a good mood, hung up the phone, and Ran's father went home.

Yang Xiaotao asked Lou Xiao'e to find Zhao Chuanjun and Wang Guodong. Currently, Liu Huaimin and Chen Gong were not in the machinery factory, and the only two important people left were them.

"What? You want to donate it to the factory?"

Wang Guodong looked at Yang Xiaotao in surprise. This was a very precious golden sword. It could be regarded as a family heirloom.

Not only him, but also Lou Xiaoe in the office also stared in disbelief.

Only Zhao Chuanjun's eyes were filled with relief.

"Xiao Tao, you."

Wang Guodong wanted to speak, but Yang Xiaotao stopped him with his eyes.

In his eyes, things like family heirlooms have always been gifts of books and letters from the elderly. Gold swords like these can only be counted as antiques.

Wang Guodong saw Yang Xiaotao's eyes and stopped talking.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhao, this thing is not mine in the first place."

"Look, the materials used to make motorcycles come from the machine factory, and the machines used here also come from the factory. I am just a worker, the one who made them."

"So, the golden knife given here should be for the machine factory, right."

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was serious, Wang Guodong also thought about it and figured out a way.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao handed the golden sword to Zhao Chuanjun, but Zhao Chuanjun shook his head and refused, "This matter is too big, I don't trust you if you let me go."

"You take it first, and when the secretary comes back, give it to him directly."

Saying that he was determined not to take it, Yang Xiaotao gave it to Wang Guodong again.

Wang Guodong took two steps back.

Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to hold it for himself first, and then give it to Liu Huaimin when he came back.

After handling this matter, Yang Xiaotao also felt that there was one less thing to worry about.

After talking to Lou Xiao'e, Yang Xiaotao planned to leave early and pick up his wife and children as soon as possible.

There was no other way, so my father-in-law called and asked me to pick up my wife and children to have dinner at home in the evening.

I don't know what's going on, but from the sound of his voice, it seems that my father-in-law is in a good mood.

Yang Xiaotao didn't think too much and made preparations in advance after agreeing.

The various types of pork, beef, and mutton brought every month were piled in the space.

Although the space has been enlarged, there are too many things inside that cannot be accommodated.

This time I went back and took out some.

Yang Xiaotao put the machete and the model in the jeep. Before handing them over, he had to protect them and not lose them.

Then he left the machinery factory and prepared to go to Yangjiazhuang to pick up Ran Qiuye.

It's already mid-May, and there's not much time left to go to the Northwest Second Factory.

In the yard, Yan Jiefang and several other workshop workers gathered together to talk about the factory.

They have been working in the machinery factory for almost half a month, and have a more comprehensive understanding of the machinery factory.

Although my salary has not been paid yet, my food every day is much better than at home.

Especially when they had to work overtime and take care of food. Although they worked a lot, their faces were obviously rosy.

Even Yan Fugui's family felt that Yan Jiefang had changed too much.

They have no worries about leaving the courtyard, leaving Sijiu City, and heading to the unknown northwest.

In their words, they are all machinery factories, so where are they going to be different?

It's just that the workers in the machinery factory are better than they are now.

"Have you heard that Brother Tao used a motorcycle to earn a handful of gold and make a knife?"

"I've known it for a long time. Who doesn't know this? How much do you think a knife made of gold costs?"

"Who knows, it must be a lot of money."

Several people were discussing in the yard, everyone was envious.

"As for Brother Tao's ability, I am convinced."

"I also saw that motorcycle at the time. It was really cool."

Someone else talked about motorcycles, and then there was another burst of emotion.

"So, as long as you learn your skills well, we won't say that you are as good as Brother Tao, but at least you can earn a bite to eat, don't you think?"       "Yes!"

Everyone recognized Yan Jiefang's words very much, and they also had more expectations in their hearts.

I look forward to the day when I can be like Yang Xiaotao and exchange a car for a piece of gold.

But they didn't know that the golden knife at this moment was a hot potato in Yang Xiaotao's eyes, and he wished he could donate it as soon as possible.

At the Hanging Flower Gate, Xu Damao drove his car back, his ears full of praise for Yang Xiaotao, and his heart was filled with panic.

After learning the specific situation, he became even more angry.

How come all these good things happened to this bastard?

That foreigner is a fool, but it is made of gold, idiot, even stupider than a stupid pillar.

Cursing in his heart, he looked back at Silly Zhu, who was also unhappy behind him, and walked towards the backyard with a cold snort.

There was just a flash of light in his eyes, and his face was full of sinisterness.

Behind him, Shazhu was a little distracted.

In the past, he felt that relying on his skills, it would not be a problem for the entire family to come out.

Even if Yang Xiaotao becomes famous, nothing will happen to him.

But over the years, Yang Xiaotao has become more and more capable, and now he has obtained gold from foreigners, so his persistence and pride are all wishful thinking.

He walked slowly into the middle courtyard, ignoring the people who were talking, and walked into the aunt's house.

The lunch box behind him immediately attracted the eyes of Jia's doorstep, but there was more resentment in his eyes.

In this regard, Shazhu didn't even look at it.

Jia family.

Qin Huairu was taking food out of the pot, stir-frying slices of cabbage, and some steamed buns on the side.

The weather is getting warmer and there are more dishes on the market, but these all cost money.

Their family has no money to buy it.

After taking out the food and looking at the people still talking outside the door, Qin Huairu felt inexplicably miserable.

A big chunk of gold.

How much does that cost?

It would be great if we could turn back time.

That year, she had just arrived at Siheyuan.

That year, if she had to choose again, she would never give up.

"Master, let's go."

In Yangjiazhuang, Yang Xiaotao picked up Ran Qiuye and Duanwu and waved goodbye.

At this moment, Duanwu held a new toy and waved to his grandfather.

This submarine model was not brisk, but it was held firmly by Duanwu. Yang Xiaotao suspected that this kid had inherited his good genes and was very powerful.

I felt quite helpless.

Mr. Yang smiled and nodded, moving slowly on the road.

Although the time to go home was short, Yang Xiaotao took out the gem scimitar for his grandfather to taste as if it were a treasure.

After explaining the reason, the old man curled his lips in disdain and said, "It's good but not useful."

However, Mr. Yang still warned him that this thing was too conspicuous and it was best not to use it to irritate people.

Yang Xiaotao also felt that it made sense, and immediately explained his plan, which was approved by his master.

Anyway, he already has enough gold in his space, so this is not enough.

Ran Qiuye agreed with this, and she also felt that this thing was too hot to hold in her hands.

I grabbed my wife and children and ran all the way back. I returned to Sijiucheng before it was dark, and then drove to Ran's house.

After taking the things off the car, little Duanwu ran into the house with her new toy submarine model in her arms, shouting at her grandma and grandpa along the way, and even showing off her new toy to her uncle.

Ran Qiuye followed behind, holding a bag of eggs in his hand, and walked quickly into the house, ready to see his two daughters.

Yang Xiaotao followed behind, wrapping a machete in a cloth strip and walking quickly with pork and beef.

In the room, Ran's father was looking at his child, and Ran's mother was making dumplings.

When the two entered the house, Duanwu showed off the toys in his hands, and Ran Hongbing beside him was full of envy.

Usually a wooden gun is enough for him to show off.

And such a big toy is something very powerful at first glance, and it is even more novel.

The two immediately went to the yard to show off their toys.

"Dad, mom."

Yang Xiaotao came in and said hello. Ran Qiuye had already picked up the two daughters. The two little ones had already recognized each other. When they saw Ran Qiuye, they reached out to hug them one by one.

Putting down his things, Ran's father smiled and said, "Come back early today and let's get together."

"Xinrui will be back soon."

Yang Xiaotao rolled up his sleeves and prepared to help, but Ran's mother waved her hand and told him to rest.

"Are you not busy anymore?"

Yang Xiaotao made tea and gave Ran's father a cup.

"Let's take a break from the busy schedule."

Ran's father thought for a moment and said something.

Yang Xiaotao smiled and chatted without asking any questions.

When it came to his golden sword, Ran's father didn't tell Ran's mother. He was startled when he heard it at first. Fortunately, Ran Qiuye explained at the side and he calmed down.

Then I thought of something and became a little worried.

Only after hearing Yang Xiaotao say that it was handed over to the machinery factory, did I feel relieved.

Then Yang Xiaotao took out the scimitar. Ran's father took it and looked at it carefully for a while before putting it down. Ran's mother also came over and took a look, but quickly looked away and asked Yang Xiaotao to put it away.

Several people in the room were talking, and a group of children in the yard started making noise.

After a while, Ran Xinrui came back and reported her study situation to Ran Qiuye in the room. Since Ran's father came back, Ran Xinrui's enthusiasm for learning has improved by several levels. I heard that she is still the squad leader in the class.

A few people in the house were chatting and cooking, but outside the house a group of children were playing around the submarine during the Dragon Boat Festival.

In fact, none of them knew what a submarine was. They just thought it was a novel thing and wanted to play with it.

Just when Yang Xiaotao was talking about the motorcycle with Ran's father, Dragon Boat Festival cries suddenly came from outside, and several women in the family ran out.

Ran's father and Yang Xiaotao ignored it. There were a lot of quarrels among children these days. It was okay for the woman to go out to solve the problem. If a man went out, it would only lead to bad things.

After a while, he saw Ran Xinrui walking in, twisting Ran Hongbing's ears. Behind him, Ran's mother was holding Duanwu, and Ran Qiuye was holding a submarine model, but it looked like it was broken.
