Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 18 Don't Live Better Than Me

After everyone left, Yang Xiaotao returned to the house with a kitchen knife. Only Mrs. Jia Zhang stood where she was, and then she realized it.

What happened just now, how come there is no one in the blink of an eye?

How can they leave?

Don't you care about her as an old man?
The three uncles won't let her decide?

A series of doubts occupy the head like paste.

As the cold wind blew past, Jiazhang shivered, his stomach growled, he spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at the Yang family, turned around and walked towards the house.

Opening the door curtain, I was watching Qin Huairu slapping Jia Dongxu's back. This guy drank too much, and he vomited all over the room, and now he still smells disgusting.

"Hurry up and eat, I'm starving to death."

Originally, she complained that the two of them didn't go out to support her, but now Jia Dongxu loses his anger when he sees it like this.

Qin Huairu immediately responded, heated up the wowotou and stick noodle porridge, and then the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began to eat.

The coarse grains are chewed and chewed in the mouth, but they can't be swallowed, and finally they take the porridge to get into the stomach.

Jia Zhang's complexion was not good, she put down the bun in her hand, turned her triangular eyes, and said unkindly.

"What kind of day is this? I've been exhausted all day, and I don't even have any meat. I'll just starve to death!"

"Mom, I only have thirty cents left now."

"What? Didn't I just give you ten yuan two days ago?"

"Mom, our family is not allowed to eat. Yesterday, after Dong Xu said he was inviting friends to dinner, he took them all."

Jia Zhang didn't speak, and Qin Huairu felt bitter. Jia Zhang held all the money she received for this wedding, and Jia Dongxu had to pay her salary to prepare the new year's goods this time, but it made her see what it means to be tenacious. .

He secretly decided in his heart that Dongxu's salary must be kept in his hands in the future.

Jia Zhang didn't know what Qin Huairu was thinking, and he didn't eat, so he thought for a while, and then said to himself.

"Huairu, Mom has something to tell you."

"Look, our family paid back the bride price of the little beast for your family, why don't you go back to Qin's Village and ask for the money back!"

Qin Huairu was startled, why did this matter come up?
Besides, it was paid for by the uncle, even if you want to come back, shouldn't it be returned to the uncle?
"Huairu, it's for the good of this family!"

"Don't look at the money you collected this time, you have to pay it back everywhere. In the future, when someone gets married and has a baby, we have to pay them back for weddings and weddings."

"I'm not embarrassing you, think about it, Dongxu is the only one earning money in our family, and I'm not in good health, my wife. You have to take care of the family!"

"Don't worry, take out three or five yuan for the money you want to get back, and you can take the remaining ten yuan."

Qin Huairu's originally unwilling heart was also attracted by the ten dollars. If he had ten dollars, he could buy a lot of meat.

Squinting his eyes, he immediately responded with a smile.

"Okay, Mom. I'll be home tomorrow."

"Well, eat, eat!"

In the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu were drinking in the room.

Today's incident once again alerted Yi Zhonghai. Now Yang Xiaotao has mastered the ability of "calling people to label people", especially to catch the loopholes in the words to label others, which is more important than his own moral kidnapping. Powerful, tried and tested repeatedly, made the other party look ashamed.

Yi Zhonghai also thought about trying to put a label on others, but it didn't match the persona he had managed over the years. If he really wanted to do this, would he still be a generous, charitable, and mediator of conflicts?
However, it doesn't matter if he doesn't care. With Yang Xiaotao's demonstrated ability, sooner or later something will happen, and his plan will be affected at that time.

After thinking about it, there is still no way.

On the opposite side, Shazhu was also drinking dull wine, and he also had a lot of opinions on Yang Xiaotao.

The other party didn't follow his own way of thinking at all, as if the two were not at the same level.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu, and suddenly thought of a good idea.

The front yard, Yan Fugui's house.

"You guys are stupid, why don't you seize this opportunity, it's two dollars!"

Yan Fugui watched Wang Xiaohu get two yuan back and forth, was heartbroken, and criticized his three sons.

"Father, didn't you say, don't meddle in Yang Xiaotao's and Jia's affairs?"

Yan Jieping explained, but Yan Fugui was even more angry when he heard it.

"Why did I, Yan Fugui, give birth to you three stupid sons with no heads!"

"Is this blending? This is a fair trade, fair trade, he pays and you contribute, which is reasonable!"

"You three elm bumps, you can't see through this point. How will you start a family and start a business in the future, and how will you live on a budget!"

Among the three, Yan Jiefang understood, and immediately said to Yan Fugui.

"Father, I understand. If something like this happens again, I'll be the first one to go. I'll stand outside at the next meeting, and I'll definitely be the first to react."

Yan Fugui nodded, turned and left, still thinking about the two dollars.

As for Yang Xiaotao's change today, he has long since ignored it.

It hasn't changed, it has nothing to do with his family.

Live behind closed doors, personal care.

"Old man, where are you going? It's time to eat!"

"I'm not in the mood, I'm going to get bait and go fishing tomorrow."

Back at the house, Yang Xiaotao, who was about to "do a big job", was in trouble. He wanted to have a big meal, but after chopping all the vegetables, he found that there was no oil, no soy sauce, and no salt?
As for other condiments, they are not rich these days, and in this compound, the cook Shazhu probably has more, and other people's homes only order a few daily necessities.

"No salt? How can I eat it?"

Yang Xiaotao shook his head helplessly, he is not an expert in cooking, I only know how to cook with more oil and salt.

Now I don't have either, what should I do?

Scratching his head, Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to take out the braised pork that was going to be eaten tomorrow, put it in a pot, cook it with potato cubes, and add water to boil.

As for oil and salt, I'll borrow some from Uncle Chen's house tomorrow.

These days, borrowing needles and brains from neighbors, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are all trivial matters.

Of course, it is affection for others to borrow from you, and it is duty not to borrow from you.

You can't hold a grudge because others refuse, because no one's things are blown by strong winds.

As for those who think about the Jia family who only want to take advantage of other people's family, but they themselves are Pixiu, there are only a few of them.

Randomly stewed a pot of potatoes and braised pork. Fortunately, the braised pork is delicious, with enough oil and water. When it is heated up, the aroma will rise immediately.

After a while, the whole room was filled with the smell of meat.

Yang Xiaotao took out two more steamed buns, reheated them and started to eat.

At this time, Mrs. Jia Zhang had just finished eating a piece of steamed bun, sniffing the air with her nose.

"Who eats meat?"

Qin Huairu also raised his head when he heard this, and finally went to the door and stuck his head out, and came back after a while.

"It came from the ear room."

Jia Zhang was taken aback, and then slammed the bun on the table with a snap, "Damn little bastard, he eats meat at home and doesn't know how to consider everyone's feelings. He's really an uneducated bastard."

Qin Huairu listened to Jia Zhang's complaints from the sidelines, feeling suffocated and panicked.

She had only been married for a few days, and she realized that it was completely different from the kiss and love before marriage.

Jia Zhang is no longer that loving old mother, and Jia Dongxu is not a good-tempered man either.

On the contrary, Jia Zhang's stinginess and Jia Dongxu's stinginess made her regret it inwardly.

However, seeing the lives of other families in the yard and thinking of earning work points in the countryside day and night, life is not bad now.

But now, smelling the smell of meat in the air, and going back to the past, she suddenly felt that it would be good if she followed Yang Xiaotao.

It's a pity that the road has been gone by her.

"I will definitely live well, but you will never be better than me."

A resentment rose up in my heart for no reason, and then buried it deeply in my heart, but I will never forget it.

In the backyard, Xu Damao was lying on the bed, covering his waist with one hand, and stroking his vitals with the other. Pain came in bursts, and he cried out involuntarily.

In the back room, Xu's parents were talking in a low voice, they didn't know what they were planning, and ignored Xu Damao's oops.

After so many years in this yard, the incident between Xu Damao and Shazhu has long been taken for granted, and the old couple don't care, as long as they are not beaten to death.

What's more, Xu's father thinks that boys need to be more skinny.

"Silly Zhu, you son of a bitch, if it weren't for the uncle protecting you, I would have sent you to the police!"

He groaned on the bed for a while, and he also knew that no matter how much the two fought over the years, they would only be regarded as slapstick by the neighbors. He just wanted to go to the street office to sue Shazhu, and if the neighbors played a joke, would they let him go? Emboldened.

This is the harm of skin from childhood.

The wolf came and shouted too much, but no one answered.

There were many fights, and no one replied.

In the end, they all hurt themselves.

Cursing in his mouth, Xu Damao suddenly smelled the smell of meat. After careful consideration, it is winter and the north wind often blows, but this smell definitely does not come from behind.

"Bastard Yang Xiaotao!"

After finally confirming that it was the aroma coming from the front and rear windows, Xu Damao immediately sat up with his face twisted.

"That's my family's money, buy meat to eat, eat you to death!"

Thinking of the ten yuan I paid, my heart hurts.

And tonight's beating had something to do with Yang Xiaotao.

"Damn it, these two guys can't just forget about it!"

"I can't beat Shazhu, and I can't beat you, Yang Xiaotao?"

"I want you to be an apprentice for the rest of your life. Follow me for the rest of your life and watch me eat and drink spicy food. Don't try to be better than me!"

"Humph!"

Turning his eyeballs, Xu Damao looked at the front room viciously, then turned around and covered the quilt.

After Yang Xiaotao had eaten, he cleaned the rice bowl. The cold water was almost freezing, but fortunately, he was in the house.

"This day can really freeze people to death!"

In his previous life, Yang Xiaotao lived in a seaside city, and the coldest winter was only three or four degrees below zero, but now the four or nine cities are already ten degrees below zero before the coldest time. If he was outside, he would probably freeze to death.

"At night, it's better to stay at home!"

Yang Xiaotao carried the barrel into the house, filled it with two pieces of briquettes, and then lay down in the quilt.

Yang Wei didn't know where she went, but she sensed in her heart that she should still be in the house.

This guy is a wood spirit, he got into the table for a while, and popped out of the bed for a while, and finally Yang Xiaotao didn't care about it, as long as he didn't go out and freeze to death.

Although the quilt is cold and tends to be "cold like iron", but the quilt is a quilt, and it can still keep the temperature when pressed on the body.

He took a book from the cabinet, these are the textbooks used by his predecessor when he went to school, and read it by the kerosene lamp.

"When you have money, you must pull a wire."

Touching the tears that were stimulated by kerosene, Yang Xiaotao missed the electric lights, TV, computer, electricity in his previous life even more...

A math book, from the beginning to the end, the rarest thing is just a linear equation in two variables. After reading it in a while, I put it aside and looked at the system, only to gain three points of experience.

"Hey! The road is long, and it's so far away!"

"Turn off the lights and go to bed!"

In the middle of the night, the north wind was getting stronger and stronger, and there was a creaking sound from the rear window, and streams of cold air rushed into the room through the gaps in the window, making the sleeping Yang Xiaotao shrank his neck.

huh huh
When the sound on the window became louder and louder, Xiao Wei suddenly got out, and then moved the window with a gap, and the wood cracked for a while, and after a while, there was no gap between the windows.

The creaking wind disappeared immediately, and the room became quiet again.

huh huh
Xiaowei's body flew up in the air, landed on the head of the bed accurately, and then disappeared.

　Ask for a wave of monthly tickets, recommended tickets.

　　In addition, I would like to thank the supporters for their opinions, A Tao will consider them.
