Chapter 1865: Chief, Drink Water

As Master Yang spoke, Yang Xiaotao could hear it clearly in the front.

He also understood the old man's sigh.

Just like what his grandfather thought, Yang Xiaotao knew the reason very well.

However, when Yang Xiaotao heard the cough coming from behind him, his heart still tightened.

For the country, the health of the elderly, or the existence of the elderly, is a stabilizing force.

For him, the old man is also a kind of protection.

This is not a question of taking sides, but that both sides have the same values ​​and the same social concepts.

At the very least, under the supervision of the elderly, the environment will be more suitable for his "development".

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao became conflicted again.

In his space, there was a wooden box containing a small emerald green mung bean.

This is what was left after Xiaowei absorbed the Jade Liquid last time. Xiaowei said that it was not easy for her to absorb this energy, so she kept it until now.

But Xiaowei also said that eating this thing is good for the body.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know what the specific benefits were, but when he thought that the Jade Liquid could make Xiaowei speak human language, he knew that the effect would not be bad.

Originally, Yang Xiaotao prepared this thing for his grandfather, or to use it to save lives in case of possible accidents.

But now, hearing the cough behind him, Yang Xiaotao made a decision.

If you are going to use it, choose the one that maximizes your own interests.

Besides, as long as the system exists, good things will always exist.

If the other person continues to work so hard, his body will not be able to bear it sooner or later.

Moreover, Yang Xiaotao also wanted to see if, with his help, he could change his fate.

Having made up his mind, Yang Xiaotao began to think about how to achieve his goal.

Finally the afternoon passed and evening arrived.

Ran Qiuye and Lou Xiaoe brought back a lot of food, and Yang Dazhuang also asked the village butcher to slaughter a pig.

The eldest sister made pancakes with the old women in the village, and then came to the construction site carrying a bowl of bone soup with the aroma of meat.

Yang Xiaotao sat with the old man, Mr. Tao and others.

After working for most of the afternoon, everyone was tired and sat together chatting.

But the old man just joked that he had been in the office for more than half a month and had been coughing all the time.

After working here for half an afternoon, my coughing has actually gotten better.

He said that labor can cure diseases, which made everyone laugh.

But the eldest sister looked relieved.

Perhaps this is the benefit of 'not having to work hard with paperwork'.

"Come, come, it's time to eat, it's time to eat."

Seeing the elder sister and Ran Qiuye carrying the wooden barrel, the old man stood up, put on his shoes, and shouted to everyone, "We work, and the female comrades have to help with the cooking. We have to thank the female comrades."

Yang Xiaotao immediately agreed after hearing this, "Yes, yes, our female compatriots have worked hard, let's give them a round of applause."

Yang Dazhuang and his companions clapped their hands immediately after hearing this. When the women heard the old man's praise, they immediately smiled with reserve, but there was no pride on their faces as before.

In the future, when they talk about this with their children, they will also say that the leader praised us.

Ran Qiuye took the bowls and chopsticks and distributed them to everyone, while the eldest sister handed the pancakes to everyone.

Yang Xiaotao saw the kettle that Ran Qiuye brought, so he walked forward, picked it up and walked to the old man.

At this time, the old man was lying on the wooden barrel with a smile, looking at the broth inside and touching his stomach from time to time, "This broth smells so good, it makes me so greedy."

Everyone smiled and nodded, but the eldest sister knocked on the wooden barrel and said, "Are you saying that the food I usually cook is not delicious?"

Hearing this, the old man was embarrassed and waved his hands quickly, "No way, no way."

"I'm tired from working so I feel hungry for food."

"That's pretty much it."

The old man also laughed and took a bite of the pancake. "Well, this corn pancake still tastes the same as before. It must be made by you."

The eldest sister smiled, and Ran Qiuye immediately said, "This pancake was made by the eldest sister. I learned how to make it from her."

Yang Xiaotao quickly stepped forward and picked one up, "You must taste it carefully."

The others came forward after hearing this, and Yang Dazhuang patted Tong Xiaolong's arm, "Brother, you usually eat a lot, don't fight with us this time."

Tong Xiaolong was speechless. He didn't want to eat because he was hungry.

However, she had a natural liking for men like Yang Dazhuang. Both of them were strong and she was willing to make friends with them.

Everyone's stomachs growled, and without saying anything more, they dipped their pancakes into the broth one by one and began to eat them with slurps.

The old man drank two bowls of soup and three pancakes in a row.

Even so, my eldest sister doesn't let him eat too much.

"Commander, have a drink of water!"

Yang Xiaotao was a little nervous. Tong Xiaolong glanced at him and then continued chatting with Yang Dazhuang.

The eldest sister didn't react and packed up her things with Ran Qiuye.

Mr. Tao was talking to the old dean about expanding enrollment.

Everyone is busy and no one is paying attention to this side.

The old man glanced at Yang Xiaotao and smiled, "I've heard a lot of people talk about you throughout the day."

"You did a great job, I am very satisfied."

Yang Xiaotao shook his head and said, "I will continue to work hard."

The old man nodded, then picked up the kettle and took two sips, frowning slightly.

"There's some rock sugar in it, so it might not have melted."

Yang Xiaotao quickly explained, and the old man drank two more sips.

"Well, no wonder. This water is kind of sweet."

"Of course, this is the well water in the village. There is no pollution. It is pure mineral water."

The old man smiled and shook his head, "You are so talkative. You even call ordinary water fine wine."

Yang Xiaotao said seriously, "Commander, please don't disbelieve me. Drinking this water will prolong your life, make you healthier, and make everything you eat taste better."

The old man smacked his lips after hearing this, and then went to find out about the situation in the village from Master Yang.

Especially the lives of the villagers, a trip here is like a visit.

After Yang Xiaotao took the kettle, he shook it twice and there was still most of the kettle left.

Although the mung beans were eaten by the old man, the water used to soak them was also special.

Seeing Ran Qiuye and her elder sister eating biscuits and talking and laughing, Yang Xiaotao walked up to her and said, "Elder sister, please drink some water. This is the well water in the village. People in our village say that people who drink this water are healthy and live longer."

The eldest sister looked at Yang Xiaotao and then at Ran Qiuye, took the kettle and drank two sips, then said, "You have such a good wife who gave birth to your children, so just be content."

"Be content, be content, of course I am content."

"The greatest luck in my life is marrying such a good wife!"

"Big sister, you don't know, but the fact that we can be together is destiny destined by heaven."

“It was raining that day.”

Just as Yang Xiaotao was about to speak, he was pushed away by Ran Qiuye, "Hurry up and get ready for work." "I haven't finished yet."

"Who wants to listen to your nonsense? Go away, go away"

Helplessly, Yang Xiaotao took the kettle and left.

Ran Qiuye quickly cleaned up the dishes amid her elder sister's laughter.

"Grandpa, drink some water"

"Uncle Jiu, it's hot, drink more water."

"Old Dean, you are sweating so much, drink more..."

"Leader, try the well water in our village, it's sweet and delicious..."

"Hey, Miaomiao, what are you doing here? Come, drink some water. Drink it all."

Night falls.

Yang Xiaotao said goodbye to the old man at the entrance of the village.

Mr. Tao and the eldest sister also got in the car and prepared to leave.

"I'll leave this to you."

"I know you are very busy and have many things to do, but you must do this well."

The old man instructed Yang Xiaotao.

"Commander, don't worry. I am an honorary director of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. I will definitely be able to do this well."

Yang Xiaotao assured loudly.

The old man nodded with satisfaction, then looked at his elder sister and Ran Qiuye beside him.

The two were also whispering to each other.

"Sister, isn't Sister Tang back yet?"

Ran Qiuye's words had a hint of meaning.

She already knew about the child.

During this period of time, she also figured it out. No matter what, the child is still the flesh and blood of the Yang family.

Although she is young, she has also survived the war.

I also know what’s going on in those big families.

Now that we are liberated, women are free and can pursue their own happiness.

But changes in the environment will only have a temporary impact, but cannot erase the marks that are deeply rooted in the bones.

What's more, after this incident, Yang Xiaotao chose to confess to her, which in itself was a kind of care.

"Xiao Tang won't be back until the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the child will be 100 days old."

As the eldest sister spoke, she secretly looked at Ran Qiuye's expression.

Seeing that Ran Qiuye was not displeased, she smiled and said, "I have kept all the clothes that Duanwu wore when she was a child. I will give them to her when she comes."

"Let the children see it, too."

The eldest sister smiled and nodded after hearing this, then held Ran Qiuye's hand and said, "Xiao Tang didn't want him to know about this."

Ran Qiuye nodded, "I understand."

The two talked for a while, and when they saw that others were waiting for them, they said no more and said goodbye.

"Brother Xiaolong, be careful on the road."

Yang Xiaotao said something to Tong Xiaolong and then waved.

"Don't worry, we're leaving."

The car started and then ran away into the distance under the light of the headlights.

In the car.

The old man stretched his arms and legs and said to the older woman beside him, "What are you talking about?"

The eldest sister shook her head, "Communication between lesbians."

Then he gestured to Tong Xiaolong who was driving in front, and the old man immediately understood and didn't ask any more questions.

But I still sighed, "I have to say, this kid has a unique charm."

"Confidence and sunshine, it seems that there is nothing that cannot be accomplished."

“Following him, I felt like I only needed to follow his lead to get it done.”

The old man praised Yang Xiaotao and his expression became relaxed.

He knows a lot of things.

He understands many things.

Even some of the things behind the scenes, although they were not said, he could still analyze his own answers from the clues.

You know, he was the one who led the underground front.

"You're still talking about others, aren't you the same kind of person yourself?"

The eldest sister chuckled, then scolded, "People like you take everything into consideration. It's easy for those who follow you, but you're the one who's tired."

The old man smiled absentmindedly, then nodded, "What you said makes sense."

"However, after today's work, I feel full of energy, as if I were ten years younger."

"look!"

As the old man spoke, he raised his legs. His calves, which had been a little shriveled, now felt full.

"I feel a warm current in my body right now. It's so nice."

The eldest sister laughed and said, "I think you drank too much broth."

"When we get back, I'll make soup for you every day."

"No, no, I can't stand it."

In the car, the two were talking and laughter could be heard from time to time.

However, Tong Xiaolong, who was driving in front, was secretly shocked.

Perhaps the two of them didn't notice, but he could see that the old man looked much better than before.

The most important thing is that I didn’t hear a single cough along the way.

this.
Tong Xiaolong decided not to tell anyone about this good news.

As long as the leader is good, it's fine.

On the other side, after seeing everyone off, Yang Xiaotao looked back at the villagers and said, "Let's go. We'll work overtime tonight."

Yang Dazhuang nodded, then asked someone to arrange the task.

Yang Xiaotao waved to Miaomiao beside him and said, "Miaomiao, go home first, and wait for your parents to come back in the evening."

Miao Miao nodded, and Yang Xiaotao looked at Lou Xiaoe again, "You go back and rest first."

It can be seen that the eldest daughter of the Lou family has never done any work.

My body can't take it after a day's work.

At this moment, Lou Xiao'e had a sore back and knew that she could not help by staying here, so she nodded and led Miaomiao back.

Yang Xiaotao walked into the greenhouse with Ran Qiuye.

There is plenty of moonlight tonight, and with the oil lamps hanging in the greenhouse, the night battle is about to break out.
