Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1697 A blow to the head

Yangjiazhuang, Yang family.

Master Yang looked at Miaomiao standing beside him with a smile on his face.

"Grandpa!"

Under the guidance of Ran Qiuye, Miaomiao came to Master Yang and called out in a crisp voice.

After Ran Qiuye's introduction, she realized that the old man in front of her was her relative.

"Oh, good, that's good!"

The grandfather held Miaomiao's hand, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes.

The last earthquake also had an impact on their village.

Two houses collapsed in the village, but fortunately no one was hurt.

Considering that such a distant city like Sijiu is in such a state, one can imagine the situation in Shicheng.

Now, after learning some of the situations from Ran Qiuye and considering Miaomiao's past, Mr. Yang felt more sympathetic towards Miaomiao.

However, after entering the Yang family, they became a family, and as an elder, he naturally had to treat them equally!

"Come on, Grandpa will take you to school. You will go to school and study here from now on."

"Oh, by the way, Grandpa has several more notebooks and pencils waiting for you!"

After saying that, Master Yang went into the house to look for something.

Miaomiao stood at the door and looked at the enthusiastic old man, then turned around to look at Ran Qiuye who was cooking.

"Grandpa likes you!"

"Ok!"

Miaomiao nodded. Not only her grandfather, but the entire village was very enthusiastic towards her after they heard that she was the adopted child of Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye.

Especially the older brothers and sisters, they all smiled at her.

After lunch, Grandpa Yang took Miaomiao to school.

Miaomiao is just the right age to enter the first grade. Although she has less half a year of study, she has learned something before. As long as she works hard, she should be able to catch up.

After leaving Yang's house, the grandfather and grandson walked towards the school along the village road.

Along the way, Miaomiao skipped around carrying the schoolbag prepared for her by Ran Qiuye, which was filled with notebooks and a pencil case. The sound of collisions coming from the bag was like music under the bright sunshine, making her forget her sorrow and welcome the beauty.

……

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao drove back to Yangjiazhuang.

The reason I rushed back was because I was worried that Miaomiao would not be able to adapt to the environment here.

But Yang Xiaotao was obviously overthinking it.

Although the situation in Yangjiazhuang is far worse than that in Sijiu City, it is no worse than Miaomiao's life in Shicheng.

The most important thing is that the people in the village truly treat her as a family member.

Yang Xiaotao stopped the car and took the reward from the system.

There is a basket of eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, as well as chicken, pork and mutton.

Master Yang has become accustomed to these things.

Anyway, he couldn't finish it all by himself, so most of it would be taken to school to improve the meals for the children and teachers.

Before entering the house, I saw a group of children running out of the house, shouting as they ran, it was very lively.

Yang Xiaotao saw Miaomiao running outside with a group of children, smiling as she ran.

Then I saw the jeep parked at the door and Yang Xiaotao carrying something.

Miaomiao didn't react for a moment, but when she saw clearly that it was Yang Xiaotao, she felt a little embarrassed again.

However, Yang Xiaotao was very happy to see Miaomiao like this, because this was how a child should be.

"Go play, don't delay your meal!"

After saying that, Yang Xiaotao carried his things and walked into the house.

After hearing this, Miaomiao nodded immediately, then turned around and ran when she heard her friends shouting not far away.

Yang Xiaotao took two steps and looked back. The two little braids on the little girl's head were jumping up and down, making her look extremely lively.

After returning home, Yang Xiaotao started cooking.

When Master Yang came back, the two talked in the house for a while, mainly about Miaomiao's situation.

"An earthquake comes out of nowhere. It's really not peaceful!"

Master Yang said with a hint of meaning that he had also heard about the recent situation in the city, especially that many people came to the village to cause trouble.

Although he was finally sent away by Yang Dazhuang and his men, Mr. Yang still felt the change in the environment.

"Who knows? Natural disasters and man-made disasters often do not separate families!"

Yang Xiaotao added a sentence, and Master Yang took a look and said unhappily, "You are so young, why are you so sentimental?"

"Just do your own thing, the rest..."

Master Yang straightened his back and said, "We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either!"

At night, Yang Xiaotao entertained the old principal and Yang Dazhuang at home.

When talking about the situation in Shicheng and what they saw along the way, everyone sighed.

Especially the old principal, after hearing about Miaomiao's story, felt sympathy for the plight of more children.

Compared with these unfortunate children, he hates those students who "don't do their job properly" even more.

Thinking about those who sit in the classroom and could concentrate on studying but insist on doing all kinds of messy things, he hates them for not fighting for it, but also feels helpless.

After dinner, everyone left.

Seeing that there was nothing to do at home and the weather was warm, Yang Xiaotao took Ran Qiuye and Miaomiao out for a walk in the village.

Director Gao has returned to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. After the earthquake, there were a lot of things going on at the academy. The old dean also had some health problems. In addition, the weather was getting warmer, so the situation in the greenhouse could be relaxed a little, so the greenhouse matters were reduced to Hou Lijing.

At the same time, more than half of the people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences also withdrew, as they still needed to go to the northwest to continue growing grass.

Now the demand from pharmaceutical factories is increasing day by day, and the output of greenhouses has become a factor limiting production. If the northwest cannot keep up in time, it will affect the orders of pharmaceutical factories.

Speaking of this, when Yang Xiaotao came back, he heard from Bai Jingshu that the demand in the south had increased.

Not only the oral liquid increased, but the plum blossom disinfectant also increased exponentially.

Yang Xiaotao suspected that maybe the weather was getting warmer and it was time for the flu to start again. The wind blew from time to time at night, and although it was cool, it was not cold.

The family of three walked slowly in the village, greeting villagers from time to time, chatting about the upcoming spring ploughing, the children's studies, and the seedlings around them...

At this time, in the old city, there were courtyards.

A quarrel came from the middle courtyard and quickly attracted everyone's attention.

In the front yard, Yan Fugui looked at Yan Jiecheng beside him with a frown.

Yan Jiecheng, however, looked like he was there to watch the fun. Not only that, he was also eager to try and go to the Central Courtyard to take a look.

But Yan Fugui wouldn't let him leave the house at all, because he knew very well that if Sha Zhu knew it was Yan Jiecheng who informed him, he would probably chop him to pieces with a knife.

After all, he is the eldest in the family. We raised him since he was young and we have feelings for him. We should protect him as much as we can.

"Dad, the Central Courtyard is so lively. As the head of the courtyard, how can you not go and take a look?"

Yan Jiecheng instigated Yan Fugui, who just snorted coldly.

"Don't think I don't know that it was you who reported the news to Lao Xu."

"Ah? How did you know that?"

Yan Jiecheng looked suspicious, making sure that his old man was not lying to him, and then looked at Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi beside him, "Did you two say that?"

Yan Jiekuang was somewhat afraid of this elder brother. He immediately shrank his neck when he heard the voice, and then whispered, "No, that's not what we said."

"If not you, who else could it be? Well, I bought you guys some candied haws last time, but you forgot so quickly."

"Just wait, you heartless fellows."

"Alright, you're already a grown-up, and you're still showing off to your brothers and sisters. Isn't that a loss of face for you?"

Yan Fugui couldn't stand it anymore and started to scold him, then said, "It's for your own good that I don't let you go out."

"Don't you think Shazhu is abnormal?"

Yan Fugui spoke calmly, and Yan Jiecheng became a little curious after listening.

"Yes, Shazhu's reaction is indeed a little abnormal."

"Mrs. Xu has already scolded him right at the doorstep, but this idiot Zhu can still endure it. Something is wrong."

Yan Jiecheng muttered, and then thought of something, "Dad, do you think he really has an affair with Qin Jingru?"

"So what is this? Is it a work style issue, a hooligan, or a prostitute?"

"Dad, you have to step in and take care of this courtyard. Otherwise, our reputation as an excellent courtyard might be taken away soon."

Yan Fugui remained indifferent after hearing this. At this time, the quarreling and crying in the middle courtyard had become much quieter.

Then he said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, those families are all smart. Even if something really happens, they will cover it up and won't make a big fuss."

"If things get out of hand, they will be the ones who suffer."

Yan Jiecheng nodded silently after hearing this. The old man at home still had a good vision.

Then prepare to go back to the house and sleep.

As soon as he stood up, Yan Fugui stopped him and said, "You should pay the money now."

"No, Dad, I only earned five dollars. You can't do this."

"hehe."

"Okay, I'll give you two."

Yan Fugui was unmoved, "Your mother has already discussed it with Third Aunt, and a girl will come up in a couple of days."

"Three pieces, you have to leave me two pieces for when I take them out to play."

"make a deal."

Yan Jiecheng reluctantly took out three dollars and immediately ran back into the house.

After spending so much time with this old man, he was afraid that he would have to hand over the remaining two pieces.

Middle Court.

Xu's mother sat at the door of Sha Zhu's house, crying and cursing Sha Zhu for being a bad person and taking advantage of others in distress.

Anyway, the swearing she did had wasn't as good as Jia Zhang's, but it was still better than most people.

If Jia Zhang were still alive, she probably wouldn't dare to act wildly at the doorstep.

Unfortunately, Jia Zhang is gone, and Xu's mother finally got her revenge.

Father Xu stood at the door, with Yi Zhonghai standing beside him. Neither of them spoke, but neither of them showed any intention of backing down.

Father Xu knew that it was already not easy for Qin Jingru to wait for Xu Damao to come out.

But this time is too long, so he has to be prepared for any unexpected events.

And today, the spy in the Siheyuan courtyard brought news that Sha Zhu brought a lunch box to Qin Jingru, and did it secretly. The two of them were even showing intimacy in public, which made him realize the seriousness of the problem.

Even if Sha Zhu had nothing to do with that, he still wanted to make some noise so that others could see that not everyone could take advantage of the Xu family.

It also made Qin Jingru understand that she should not try to have her cake and eat it too.

Qin Jingru, who was standing aside, had a dark face and her fingers were tightly clenching her clothes. The people in the yard looked at her with suspicion.

Of course, the object of suspicion also lies in Sha Zhu, who was standing aside and being scolded by Xu's mother.

At this time, Sha Zhu felt very depressed.

At the coal station, he was furious when he heard that he could not get a formal job because of his background.

As a result, when he came out at noon, he ran into Qin Jingru. Not only did his lunch box get snatched away, but he also wasted the opportunity because Qin Jingru had done something bad. He was so angry that he kept it to himself.

What I didn’t expect was that just after dinner in the evening, someone from the Xu family came to my door.

He was extremely annoyed. If Qin Huairu hadn't stopped him, he would have come out with a kitchen knife to show them that the God of War in the Siheyuan was not just a boast.

However, just as Xu's mother pointed at his nose and scolded him for having bad intentions and plotting against Qin Jingru, a basin of cold water was poured over his head, scaring him so much that he almost fell to the ground.

If their relationship was discovered, they would both be finished.

Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai stood up at the critical moment and said a few good words for Sha Zhu, which made Sha Zhu understand that the other party had no evidence either.

Only then did I let go of the tension in my heart.

However, Sha Zhu also realized that the Xu family knew about what happened at noon, and someone must have tipped them off, which meant that he was being targeted.

I was also glad that Qin Jingru was not available today, otherwise if their relationship was known to others, then...
Maybe he needs to eat a peanut.

Fortunately, fortunately.
