Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1848 Grow Up Early
Four Nine Cities.

When Yang Xiaotao returned to the yard, he saw Yu Zecheng walking around in the middle courtyard. It seemed that Xiaowei's energy made him feel much better.

"Lao Yu!"

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward to say hello, and Yu Zecheng nodded in response when he saw Yang Xiaotao. Xiao Shitou beside him was holding a precious wooden pistol, and there were a few children from the yard following him.

Yang Xiaotao curled his lips after taking a look at it. He thought that this craft was probably done by an amateur and it was only good enough to appease children.

Yu Zecheng saw Yang Xiaotao's expression and said unhappily, "What's wrong? I made a gun for my son and you're disgusted with it!"

"I don't dislike anything. I just think some people insist on doing it even though they don't have the skills. They are just fooling the children."

"Fuck you, if I had your skills, I would have all the cabinets and cupboards in my house."

Yu Zecheng said unhappily that Yang Xiaotao's carpentry skills were well known in the yard, and that the cabinets in his home were all made with wood he bought himself.

Of course, with Yang Xiaotao's current status and position, he could probably ask someone to help him make a few cabinets, and Zhou Shenghong from the sawmill would immediately bring people over.

"Yes, you finally have time!"

Yang Xiaotao said something for no reason and Yu Zecheng smiled awkwardly. It seemed that he spent less time with his wife and children in this courtyard than Yang Xiaotao.

"Okay, go back and cook! The Taoist priest will be back soon!"

Yu Zecheng urged, not wanting to talk to Yang Xiaotao. This guy could make people speechless with just a few words, and it was always so casual.

Yang Xiaotao smiled indifferently, "Where's Sister Cuiping? Hasn't she come back yet?"

Yu Zecheng said without even turning his head, "I went to buy pork. He said he wanted to make braised pork!"

As Yu Zecheng spoke, his throat felt a little dry, and Shitou, who was standing next to him, raised his head and pursed his lips as he looked at Yang Xiaotao.

The father and son still remember the braised pork his mother made last time.

Compared with what Uncle Yang made, it's just like what humans and pigs eat.

Of course, no matter how bad it tastes, it’s still meat, so the two of them gritted their teeth and ate it in the end.

The final result was that the two of them ran to the toilet quite a lot, but it also aroused Cuiping's competitive spirit, and she said she would try again today.

When Yang Xiaotao saw Xiao Shitou's pitiful appearance, he could only say that he was helpless.

Who made this the great motherly love!

After talking to Yu Zecheng for a few words, the other party did not mention what happened in Shanghai. Yang Xiaotao knew that no one had arrived yet and he probably had to wait.

After saying a few more words, Yang Xiaotao turned and walked towards the main house, then prepared to cook.

Ran Qiuye took Miaomiao to school in Yangjiazhuang. During the Duanwu Festival, they stayed with their grandmother, and he was the only one left at home.

Sometimes Yang Xiaotao also thought about bringing Miaomiao to the city and then transferring Ran Qiuye's job to Sijiu City.

Even Ran's father and mother mentioned this matter. After all, the family was divided into three places, and it was not good for a long time.

Ran Qiuye also mentioned whether she wanted to come back to help take care of the children and cook a meal for Yang Xiaotao.

This is not difficult for Yang Xiaotao to do.

Just thinking about the years to come, especially the attitude towards teachers and other intellectuals, makes me feel scared.

If you don’t have that gene, it’s best not to take yourself too seriously, or you’ll regret it.

So Yang Xiaotao would rather separate his family than destroy this balance.

After returning home, Xiaowei flew down from the big locust tree and landed on Yang Xiaotao's shoulder.

The little girl was getting faster and faster, and she was elusive. If Yang Xiaotao hadn't been able to sense her location mentally, he would have never been able to find her.

"Master, there are no strangers around."

Xiaowei said as she shook her calves on his shoulder. Ever since Yang Xiaotao learned that someone was going to deal with him, Xiaowei was sent out by him to monitor the surrounding situation.

Especially around the courtyards.

In Yang Xiaotao's opinion, it would be wishful thinking for the other party to get close to his workplace, as it was under strict guard by the machinery factory's security department.

Not to mention rushing in.

Liang Zuoxin once said that as long as the enemy could not break through the gate in the first ten minutes, it would be useless even if they sent a battalion.

If the factory workers mobilize, even if they come in a group, it would still be like delivering food.

So in the machinery factory, Yang Xiaotao is not afraid of accidents.

As for assassinations on the road, Xiaowei's early warning ability and his physical fitness allow them to avoid them as long as they are discovered.

So, after much thought, the best place to deal with myself is the courtyard.

Although there are many security personnel around here, the surrounding environment is also complex, with large courtyards and quadrangles, people coming and going, and a mixed crowd of all kinds.

This situation is undoubtedly easier to start with.

So Xiaowei's job is to check the surrounding situation.

"That's good. Where are Duanwu and the others?"

"no problem!"

Xiao Wei replied after being stunned for a moment.

Xiaowei will naturally be the one to take care of Duanwu, and the slum where the Ran family lives will also be given special care.

As for Ran Qiuye, it was completely handed over to Wangcai's family.

Nowadays, Wangcai's activities have covered the entire farm, and with the help of the surrounding patrol militia, the security measures are no worse than those of the machinery factory.

"I'm glad you're okay. You should always keep an eye on Duanwu!"

"Understood, Master! I will do it well!"

Xiaowei acted as if I was very capable and spoke in a proud tone.

But soon Xiao Wei quietly leaned close to Yang Xiaotao's ear and said, "Master, when will you have an upgrade card? Spiritual fluid will also be fine!"

Yang Xiaotao shook his head, and Xiaowei immediately flew into the air.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Wei immediately flew to his side, "Yeah, I can only absorb energy now, which is too slow."

"Do you still have the spiritual fluid from last time?"

"What do you think?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't answer, which made Xiaowei very frustrated.

With her long life cycle, it’s unknown how long it will take for her to grow up.

I guess when she grows up, the grass on Yang Xiaotao's grave will be taller than her.

So during this period of time, I always pestered Yang Xiaotao to ask if he had any upgrade cards, even the worst kind of spiritual liquid would be fine.

Can speed up the growth rate.

So he urged Yang Xiaotao to open a busy box.

In two days it will be August 1st, which is the first day of every month and also the day when the exchange column is refreshed every week. Xiaowei thinks there must be good things, so she wants Yang Xiaotao to help her grow up quickly.

"Owner…"

"Don't use that voice!"

When Yang Xiaotao heard Ran Qiuye’s voice, he stopped her immediately!
"Master~" "This won't work either..."

"Master, Master, Master..."

Xiaowei flew up and down around Yang Xiaotao, and her voice kept changing, as if there were countless women in his ears. Of course, it was not much different from the quacking of a group of ducks.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Yang Xiaotao has no way to deal with this little guy. Since he learned to speak, his abilities have been getting more and more powerful!
"Owner!"

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on you then!"

"I have something good, I can't forget you!"

"Yeah, Master is the best!"

"Use less other people's voices and speak your own!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Oh, Master, I want to report to you. I want to report the old man in the front yard. He said bad things about you at home."

"They also closed the door and said, huh, but it's a pity that it's of no use to me!"

After getting Yang Xiaotao's consent, Xiaowei immediately showed her performance.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao immediately thought of the old man in the front yard, who should be Yan Fugui.

I know in my heart that it is most likely Yan Jiecheng's crime that has been exposed, but I don't know whether this guy has become the son-in-law.

No matter what, I did facilitate a marriage, which can be regarded as a correction of the original drama!

"Okay, go out and bask in the sun. I'll cook first!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't think any more and walked towards the kitchen.

As for what Yan Fugui's family thinks, that is their business, but if they were to turn against him, they wouldn't dare to do so even if they had the guts.

Or would you talk behind closed doors?
Besides, if this guy hadn't plotted against him in the first place, this wouldn't have happened.

Besides, he is helping Yan Jiecheng, so we should thank him!

Smiling with his head down, Yang Xiaotao took out a piece of pork belly from the space and walked towards the stove!

huh huh
Xiaowei called out twice, flew out, then flew over the big locust tree and flew towards the front yard.

She wanted to see if the old man in the front yard said anything bad about her master.

If so, she would definitely avenge her master.

forecourt!

Yan Fugui lay in the chair, looking depressed.

The third aunt on the side wiped her tears and whispered, afraid that people outside would hear her and afraid that Yan Fugui wouldn't hear her, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, you schemed for this and that!"

"But what have you managed to achieve over the years?"

"Now, the son who was calculated to marry into the family has been married off to someone else, and you, you..."

"We blame you for our son not coming back. Why did you have to plot against Yang Xiaotao? Is he a good plotter?"

"Woo, woo, woo, my son!"

"He can't come back now even if he wants to, my son~"

As the third aunt cried and talked, Yan Fugui felt annoyed and immediately started to scold her, "Stop crying! If our family hadn't planned anything, would we be able to leave now? Would we be able to support them?"

"If you don't scheme, can you survive in this courtyard?"

The third aunt was interrupted by her old man's scolding. Seeing that her usually kind husband was also angry at this time, the third aunt shut her mouth tactfully, but the tears in the corners of her eyes told of her inner pain.

That's her son.

When Yan Fugui saw the third aunt like this, he leaned back in his chair again and sighed deeply.

It would be a lie to say that I have no regrets.

But more people are angry at Yan Jiecheng for not fighting back.

You want to live a good life but you have to elope with someone else.

It's just that he eloped, but he couldn't stand life in the countryside and wanted to run back.

It's really embarrassing.

However, after this incident, he also understood one thing, that is, don't play tricks on Yang Xiaotao in any matter.

Be straightforward and don't hide anything.

Otherwise it will only offend Yang Xiaotao.

Thinking of this, Yan Fugui glanced at the still sad Third Aunt, gritted his teeth and said, "We won't blame anyone this time!"

"Since the boss doesn't think highly of our family, let him be."

"You are not a child anymore. You chose your own path. When you chose to leave, you should have considered the consequences. We can't control that!"

"Old man, you..."

The third aunt was about to speak, but was interrupted by Yan Fugui.

"I know you blame me in your heart. If you had told Yang Xiaotao directly at the beginning, you wouldn't have to do this!"

"But, what's the point of saying this now?"

"We have more than just the eldest child. We also have Jiefang, Xiaosan, and Xiaosi!"

"The children will grow up soon, and we have to think about them."

The third aunt opened her mouth, then lowered her head and nodded solemnly.

When she first received the call from Yan Jiecheng, in which he cried and said he could not come back, her heart was broken.

His son was going to marry into someone else's family and become someone else's wife. If he had children in the future, they would also take someone else's surname. This was hard for Yan Fugui, who was proud to be a people's teacher, to accept.

But now that I have figured it out, I have finally come out of it.

After all, they are a family, not a person.

Just like my old man said, they have several children.

Even if the eldest brother dies, there are still the second, third, and fourth brothers.

"Alright, from now on, this matter will be regarded as the boss's failure to succeed and marry into someone else's family!"

"Don't spread any other words!"

Yan Fugui warned the three aunts again, especially emphasizing the last sentence.

He knew that these old ladies dared to say anything when chatting together, and they might let something slip.

The three aunts also understood the importance of the matter and nodded again.

Then Yan Fugui opened the door, put on a smiling face, picked up the fishing rod at the door, and pushed his bicycle out.

Behind him, the third aunt sighed, "Jie Cheng, why are you so confused?"
