Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 127
When Qin Huairu returned home, she was slapped on the face by Jia Zhang before she could speak.

Qin Huairu's grievances, he was about to succeed with great difficulty, but was ruined by this woman. If it is an ordinary person, who can bear this bad breath?
Jia Zhang took off his clothes and threw them on the ground, and pulled the quilt over his body.

"Hmph. If it wasn't for the sake of pregnancy, I would kick you to death!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang said harshly, "I asked you to ask for things, not to make you wanton."

"You are so close to that little beast, do you think I can't see it?"

"You rascal, why did my Jia family find you as a wife? Take a look, what's so good about you?"

"My eldest grandson suffered with you. Do you still have the face to speak in this family? Are you worthy of Dongxu and this family?"

Jia Zhang is a paper tiger outside, but a tyrant at home.

Facing Qin Huairu, he was not polite.

Qin Huairu trembled in her heart.

"Why am I sorry for this family? You are the one who let me go, you are the one who wants things, and you are the one who is worried about me. What did I do wrong?"

Qin Huairu's grievances broke out completely at this moment.

"You, you, how dare you talk like that? You don't know what to do, you are so mad at me."

"what……"

"I'm not going to live anymore, I'm not filial! Come and see, my daughter-in-law is bullying my mother-in-law."

Jia Zhang didn't care and could only mess around, just at this time the door was pushed open.

Jia Dongxu came back from the outside, slipped around the street corner, and sat down with a few people with good relationships.

It's the Chinese New Year, every family is busy, and no one pays attention to him, and finally returns empty-handed with a bad face.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his old lady crying and crying on the bed, and then saw Qin Huairu standing aside, kicking Qin Huairu without even thinking about it.

Qin Huairu sat on the ground with a plop, looked at Jia Dongxu in astonishment, tears of grievance pattered.

Jia Dongxu didn't even look at it, and walked up to Jia Zhang, "Mom, what's the matter?"

"Dongxu, your daughter-in-law doesn't obey women's rules."

"Mom asked her to order something to eat, so she went to Yang Xiaotao, this is to..."

"Dongxu, I didn't. Mom asked me to go, and I didn't do anything to be sorry for you!"

Qin Huairu didn't dare to let Jia Zhang's nonsense continue, so she quickly opened her mouth to explain.

But Jia Dongxu didn't listen, turned around and shouted, "I told you to go, just go."

"Is something coming?"

Qin Huairu was taken aback, "Dongxu!"

She didn't expect that Jia Dongxu didn't take her seriously at all, even the grievances he suffered were ignored, and all he cared about was whether he got something.

For a moment, Qin Huairu was speechless.

"No!"

"What are you still doing if you don't ask for it? Didn't you see that mom's clothes are wet? Wash it off quickly, and you will wear it tomorrow."

Jia Dongxu scolded Qin Huairu, not caring that Qin Huairu was also wearing wet clothes.

Qin Huairu couldn't believe her ears, it was her fate to wash clothes in the middle of the night and there was no hot water in such a cold day.

"Dongxu, how do you wash your clothes at night?"

"Oh, how do you wash it? Of course I wash it by hand."

"Hurry up, I won't make Mom happy, don't come back to sleep if you can't finish washing."

With that said, Jia Dongxu went to see the stick, while Jia Zhang on the other side was lying on the bed, sleeping under the quilt.

As for Qin Huairu, neither of them even glanced at her.

Enduring the pain on his face, Qin Huairu picked up his clothes and went to the yard aggrieved.

bang bang

Cha Cha Cha

The sound of washing clothes sounded in the middle of the night.

Qin Huairu threw her clothes vigorously, her ten fingers turned red from the cold water, and the bruises on her face were hidden in the night.

The sound of washing clothes kept coming, and a few people who woke up cursed and opened the door.

After seeing clearly that it was Qin Huairu by the moonlight, he walked into the room cursing again.

"The Jia family really has a lot of things."

"The old godmother has played tricks on her daughter-in-law again..."

"Qin Huairu is also a poor person..."

The words of sympathy kept coming, and Qin Huairu felt a little comforted in his heart.

Her fingers were cold, and she looked towards the ear room where the light was still on. A figure could be seen faintly, but it made her teeth chatter with hatred.

Yang Xiaotao finished the chicken, and saved the soup in the pot for instant noodles tomorrow. After tidying up, he read a book for a while to dispel the bad luck of the night, and then fell asleep.

As he said, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and every household wants to be more stable, and he doesn't want to cause trouble.

Otherwise, if this was normal, he would have already arranged for Jia Zhang.

The next day, on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Xiaotao got up early in the morning, took gifts and went out to Zhou Peng, Wang Fa and some friends' houses, and in the afternoon he went to Director Wang's house.

After telling Director Wang that he was going back to the village for the New Year this year, he took out two bottles of wine and said that he would take them back to honor the old party secretary. Yang Xiaotao couldn't refuse and had to accept them.

Back at the courtyard at night, Yang Xiaotao brought back some things, which naturally made the animals in the courtyard uncomfortable.

The most uncomfortable is the Jia family. They are more sad this year than usual.

Not only did he add a stick, but he also lost a lot of money because of the full moon wine. In addition, he didn't have much savings. If it wasn't for Yi Zhonghai's help, it would be hard to say whether this year would be a good one.

Going to Uncle Chen's house for dinner in the evening is an early New Year's greeting.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Yang Xiaotao got up early in the morning and packed up his things.

The sun was just getting hot when a man in a gray padded jacket walked in from outside the yard.

"Brother Stone!"

Yang Xiaotao walked forward enthusiastically, Yang Shitou was cold, and seemed to be walking in the dark,
"Xiao Tao, hey!"

"Brother Shitou, go into the house quickly, return the food if you haven't eaten."

"I ate it on the way, it's okay!"

Yang Shitou showed a simple smile, and Yang Xiaotao felt very kind.

Pulling Yang Shitou into the house, Yang Xiaotao took out a piece of ham sausage from the kitchen, ran two packs of instant noodles with boiling water, and scrambled two eggs, seeing that Yang Shitou's eyes were straightened.

"Brother Shitou, is Grandpa alright?"

When Yang Shitou heard the question, he remembered the grandfather's explanation, and quickly said, "Okay, it's okay!"

There was some envy in the smile looking at Yang Xiaotao.

Soon the instant noodles were soaked, the eggs were out of the pan, and a large bowl was handed to Yang Shitou.

"Eat quickly, I have to move things in a while!"

Yang Xiaotao pointed to the packed things aside, Yang Shitou just glanced at it, but couldn't take his eyes off.

Among the pile of things, there were four or five large bags at a glance, and the inside was bulging so he couldn't see anything clearly, but with his nose that could smell meat from a mile away, there must be meat in it, and there was still a lot of it.

In addition, what he saw was the wine bottle next to him, which instantly made his Adam's apple twitch.

"My dear, are these all?"

The noodles that Yang Shitou was holding in his hand suddenly became stale.

Yang Xiaotao nodded casually, "Not much, take it back and greet the folks."

Yang Shitou's eyes widened, "That's not much? Our village has never drunk so much during Chinese New Year!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't care when he heard it, he knew the situation in the countryside in this era, even in these forty-nine cities, there were not many families with so many things.

The reason why I can make up enough of these is not only that I earn more, but also the rewards from the system.

In the exchange column, credits can be exchanged for materials and utensils. In addition to extra money for fishing and cooking skills, there are also food stamps, meat tickets and other scarce supplies every month.

With these, Yang Xiaotao, who looks like a "spoiler" to outsiders, was able to save these things.

Of course, the part taken out is only a small half of the space.

Yang Shitou sighed, and was soon awakened by the rumbling sound of his stomach, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and started eating.

Yang Xiaotao walked aside and started packing his clothes.

When I get home, I have to bring some clothes. Although I use them in the space, I still have to look good.

After a while, the backpack was full. In addition to clothes and shoes, there were 100 yuan in denominations, big ones for errands, and small ones as lucky money for celebration.

Wearing a new military overcoat, a watch, and a backpack cross-body, he looks like a young man of the times.

Here Yang Shitou had finished eating the noodles, even the soup, and touched his lips at the end. If he hadn't been away from home, he would have licked the bowl again.

Touching his stretched stomach, Yang Shitou became more enthusiastic towards Yang Xiaotao.

For nothing else, just this meal, the family can't eat it once a year.

"I have something to say when I go home!"

Yang Shitou thought about returning to the village to show off, and his expression became excited.

After a while, the two began to move things into the car.

"Brother Shitou, these are clothes and shoes, put them at the bottom!"

"This is flour and oil, don't pour it out!"

"Alas, be careful, this is an egg, slow down!"

"The meat is ready."

Yang Xiaotao reminded Yang Shitou while moving things, which made the neighbors in the courtyard full of emotion.

Is this going home for the New Year?It's move in right now!

Yan Fugui leaned against the door, calculating how much Yang Xiaotao spent on this trip.

The eyes of the third mother next to her were shining, looking at the lump of meat on the car, showing a longing expression.

Of course, the basket of eggs and the oily noodles were shocking to the eyes.

Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu were together, muttering, "It must be the property left by Lao Yang."

Jia Dongxu nodded, and Jia Zhang followed suit.

Only Qin Huairu, who was holding a stick behind him, knew that Yang Xiaotao searched for doctors everywhere because of Lao Yang's body, even found several barefoot doctors, and spent countless money.

Others don't know that she doesn't know that she has been cheated several times, and spent a lot of money in order to marry a daughter-in-law.

All of this, but the money that was taken in took out the whole family, and even borrowed some money.

However, now she also has some doubts, how could Yang Xiaotao save so much in just over a year?
Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were also shocked, they didn't expect Yang Xiaotao to buy so many things.

Although the people in the courtyard said that Yang Xiaotao bought a lot these days, they never expected so many.

"Old Yi, Yang Xiaotao doesn't seem to be living a normal life."

Liu Haizhong held the teapot, not afraid of the cold weather.

Yi Zhonghai was thoughtful, "Tell me, could it be..."

Liu Haizhong narrowed his eyes, "I have to go to his third master for this matter. I'll go to the front yard."

Yang Xiaotao and the two packed up their things, told Uncle Chen and Auntie Chen, and then got into the donkey cart and went out.

In this day and age, the ordinary people can travel in addition to bicycles that are comparable to luxury cars, and most of them are donkey carts and horse-drawn carriages.

Sitting on the floor cart, Yang Xiaotao supported the pile of objects, while Yang Shitou in front was pulling the rope, walking briskly, leading the way out of the city.

Watching the donkey cart go away, Liu Haizhong walked up to Yan Fugui and patted his shoulder hard.

Yan Fugui recovered from the calculations, saw Liu Haizhong, and muttered, "100 yuan, 100 yuan!"

"What 100 yuan?"

Yan Fugui's eyes flickered, "This guy needs at least 100 yuan to buy those things."

"This guy really has a bad life."

Yan Fugui was heartbroken, how could anyone live like this?
Eat it during the Chinese New Year, and drink the northwest wind after the year.

Liu Haizhong was also surprised, and was quite convinced of Yan Fugui's actuarial skills.

He said 100 yuan, that is definitely more than less.

The thoughts in my heart became more and more firm.

"Third Master, you have also seen that this Yang family boy usually..."

When Yan Fugui heard this, the calculation in his eyes was like a fountain.
