Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1995 The Popular Yang Xiaotao
After staying in a workshop for a while, Yang Xiaotao explained the details of the drawings to everyone, emphasizing some important points, and then prepared to return to the office.

But just when he was about to leave, Chen Chonghan suddenly ran over to stop him, "Boss Yang, are you free tonight?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at him, remembered something and asked, "You're not going to treat us to dinner tonight, are you?"

Chen Chonghan smiled and nodded, "This family has come up, it's considered moving to a new home, please come and have some fun."

"Besides, I have learned how to make braised pork!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled, thinking back to when they were in the northwest, Chen Chonghan was impressed by Yang Xiaotao's braised pork and even pestered Yang Xiaotao to teach him how to make it.

The last time he went back to Jinling, Chen Chonghan invited him to his home and said he would cook braised pork for him.

But I didn't expect to run into issues at the Aviation Academy and the Military Academy, so I didn't get to go and didn't even get to eat.

This should be the third time.

Yang Xiaotao looked at Chen Chonghan's serious expression and felt embarrassed to refuse.

But something does happen tonight.

And given the circumstances tonight, he can't leave early!

and so…

Yang Xiaotao said apologetically, "Old Chen, I'm so sorry!"

Chen Chonghan was stunned, and Yang Xiaotao quickly explained, "An elder asked me to help with cooking tonight, and I agreed early in the morning..."

After hearing Yang Xiaotao's explanation, Chen Chonghan slapped his head and said, "It's my fault. I didn't tell you in advance."

"How about this, tomorrow night! Everything will be fine tomorrow night!"

"No, you've already planned it out, and everyone has said it, it's not good to change the date!"

"Whatever, we are still friends. We can just find sometime to have dinner together!"

Yang Xiaotao spoke up quickly. If people knew that the date was changed to accommodate him because he missed a meal, it would not be good for both of their images.

Chen Chonghan waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, we are all family."

"Old Liu and the others won't say anything if they find out."

Chen Chonghan understood that Liu Daming and the others also wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Yang Xiaotao.

Especially since they heard yesterday that Yang Xiaotao was sitting between Mr. Chen and Mr. Huang.

Even Secretary Liu said after drinking that whether the machinery factory can make further progress in the future depends on Yang Xiaotao!
When this is said, those who understand will understand.

After all, everyone wants to rise with the tide.

"That's it, tomorrow night!"

Chen Chonghan was afraid that Yang Xiaotao might get into trouble again, so he quickly settled the matter.

Yang Xiaotao thought there was nothing else to do, so he nodded, "Okay, then tomorrow night."

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao agreed, Chen Chonghan immediately walked away and prepared to find someone to change the time.

Yang Xiaotao took a look, shook his head helplessly and walked into the office.

3pm.

"Wife, let's go!"

Yang Xiaotao parked his bicycle at the door and shouted inside.

Xiaowei flew out of the pocket and landed on the big locust tree. It was not that Yang Xiaotao asked him to stay, but the little guy didn't want to go.

According to Xiaowei, going there is a bit depressing.

It would be better to just stay at home and watch the door.

Yang Xiaotao followed her wishes.

Seeing the things that Ran Qiuye picked up in the house, Yang Xiaotao originally wanted to drive out, but that place was not accessible to ordinary people.

He, Yang Xiaotao, is just an ordinary person, and his driving is too ostentatious, which is a bit inappropriate.

I might as well just ride a bike and take my wife for a ride, and feel the softness on my back!

Besides, people who ride bicycles on the street are also envied these days.

When Ran Qiuye heard the noise, she immediately came out of the house carrying two bags. They looked heavy, but they didn't look like they were difficult for her to carry.

"Are you all ready?"

"Ok!"

"Did you get the camera?"

"Bring it!"

Ran Qiuye straightened his chest. In comparison, the camera and the case were a bit small and not very conspicuous.

"Where's the food?"

Ran Qiuye lifted the bag into the air, "Potatoes, cabbage, leeks, peanuts, a piece of pork, boiled salted duck eggs..."

Ran Qiuye was talking there, this was something she had thought about all morning.

When Yang Xiaotao asked her to bring some things with her, she thought of some food and daily necessities.

They are all local specialties from home. The only expensive thing is a piece of pork, but it weighs about three pounds, so it shouldn’t be a big deal.

"Oh, there's still some fish left!"

After saying that, he was about to carry the bag back to the house, but Yang Xiaotao said faster, "I'll get it!"

He quickly came into the house and opened the water tank. There were three carps about one foot long in it. These were the goods that Yang Xiaotao usually bought from the West Sea.

Yang Xiaotao picked out a bigger one and scooped it out with a net bag. No matter how it jumped, he had no choice but to accept its fate.

"Fish, fish! This time it's your good fortune!"

"I'll take you to see the world, otherwise what's the difference between you and salted fish?"

Yang Xiaotao said to the fish, then ran out with it!
He came to the front of the car, hung the net bag on the handlebars, took the two bags, and hung them on the bicycle. After making sure nothing was left behind, he said, "Let's go!"

The two of them walked out of the courtyard gate. Ran Qiuye sat on the back seat with a smile, while Yang Xiaotao pedaled hard and quickly disappeared at the entrance of the alley.

In the yard, a group of women including the three aunts looked at this scene with envy.

"Oh, how many things do I have to bring from my mother's house this time!"

Aunt Li in the front yard said, her eyes full of envy.

Her family has two daughters who are married, but the number of times they come back home in a year can be counted on one hand. Not to mention, even when they come back, they only bring some potatoes and sweet potatoes at most. How can they be like the Yang family, who bring as much as other people's family needs in a month.

The third aunt nodded after hearing this and said, "So, when you are looking for a man, you have to keep your eyes open. Don't just look at his appearance, but also his character and ability!"

"You're right. Ten years ago, who could have seen that Yang Xiaotao was a dragon?"

"If I had known this earlier, I would have just accepted whatever my girl said..."

"Haha, you regret it now!"

"You don't regret it, oh, by the way, you don't have a daughter!"

"Bah, I regret it even more. My niece from my mother's family almost got into this courtyard. It's all because of those bastards from the Jia family. They spread rumors with evil hearts and ruined my family's reputation."

"If I hadn't listened to them wrongly, would I have lost the rich son-in-law I was looking at?"

"Yes, it's the same in my family. That Third Auntie is running around. Now think about it, what a great opportunity it is! All because of those idiots in the Jia family!"

"They deserve it!" "Yes, they deserve it!"

After they finished speaking, they still looked indignant.

The people around had the same expression when they heard this, and they all blamed the Jia family for not being able to marry Yang Xiaotao.

At this moment, Qin Huairu walked in from the gate, followed by an old lady.

From her expression, you can tell that she must have heard what the others said just now.

However, everyone just glanced at him and continued talking, some even rolled their eyes and spoke without hiding their feelings.

Qin Huairu felt aggrieved and uncomfortable after hearing this.

In those years, who could have known what would happen in the future?

When it comes to regrets, who has more than her?

After taking a look at them and blocking out the unpleasant words, Qin Huairu went home with the aunt.

This time, after finally convincing Yi Zhonghai and expressing his attitude, he finally invited the aunt back.

As for Sha Zhu, she could no longer rely on him.

……

"Sister Zhang, please help take care of the child!"

In the garden, Tang Mingyue said to Tong Xiaolong's wife.

"Hey, what's going on? The baby in my belly is about to come out, so it's a good time for them to talk first!"

Tang Mingyue smiled after hearing this.

It's only been a few months, it's too early to communicate!
However, although Tong Xiaolong's wife is not well educated, she is a person of temperament.

She says whatever she wants to say. She feels very similar to Cuiping, but she doesn't have Cuiping's sharpness.

All in all, she is worthy of Tong Xiaolong and will also be a good wife!

Tong pushed the stroller and looked at the child playing with his fingers inside, his face full of the glow of maternal love.

As she said this, she touched her belly and thought to herself, it must be a boy!

"Sister Zhang, if you need anything, I'll be next door. Just call me when the time comes."

"This is milk powder and calming. Add three spoons of water to the mark. Test the water temperature to make sure it's not too hot..."

Tang Mingyue explained the situation and Tong smiled and nodded.

These are the things she will have to do in the future. If she studies and prepares for them now, she will avoid being in a hurry in the future.

After giving her instructions, Tong smiled and said, "Mingyue, you are so thoughtful. If you give birth to a child yourself, you will definitely be the best mother!"

Tang Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

“Now, I want to be the best mother I can be.”

Tong smiled and said, "Go ahead and do your work. I'll keep an eye on it for you."

"When the time comes, I'll find you if I need anything."

"By the way, keep an eye on that guy for me. He doesn't say anything when he's working, but his own business is a mess..."

Tang Mingyue smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, it's just a normal meal."

"I know, I know!"

Tong's attitude, as if she knew everything and would not tell anyone, made Tang Mingyue like her even more.

"You two are still talking!"

Tong Xiaolong's muffled voice was heard, and he came to the front of the car, looked at the little guy inside, stretched out his thick fingers and placed them in front of the little hand, and the little guy grabbed it hard.

"Wow, you're really energetic. I can tell you've eaten a lot!"

"Go away, it's dirty or not, don't touch the child!"

Tong quickly pushed Tong Xiaolong aside like an old hen protecting her calves.

Tong Xiaolong quickly moved out of the way, fearing that his wife would get bumped.

"Mingyue, Xiaotao and the others are here and are preparing things."

Hearing Tong Xiaolong's words, Tang Mingyue nodded, then glanced at the child in the car.

Originally, the eldest sister wanted to let the child see the world. Even if he was adopted, he still had to meet people.

But Tang Mingyue shook her head and refused, at least not now.

She had seen photos of Duanwu when he was a child. The two brothers didn't look exactly alike, but they looked very similar in terms of their chubby build.

That is, her eyebrows and eyes are all like her mother, but the problem is that she and Ran Qiuye both have double eyelids and big eyes, and at first glance they do look a bit alike.

With Yang Xiaotao's ability to read people's expressions, he can even tell the difference between steel and iron. If he saw this, with his intelligence, he would definitely guess something.

You don't even have to guess what's going on.

At this moment, she didn't want to cause him any trouble.

After hearing this, the eldest sister did not insist, as long as Tang Mingyue knew what was going on.

"Sister Zhang, thank you for your help!"

"Go ahead, just be busy!"

After saying that, Tang Mingyue and Tong Xiaolong went out and came to the next yard.

Yang Xiaotao was carrying things into the house. His eldest sister, wearing an apron, looked at the dishes and directed where to put them. Ran Qiuye also helped to put them away.

"Sister Tang!"

Seeing Tang Mingyue and the other person coming over, Ran Qiuye greeted them and looked into the room next to them.

Tang Mingyue shook her head, which made Ran Qiuye a little puzzled.

"Secretary Tang, where do you put this?"

As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao asked while holding the still jumping carp.

Tang Mingyue looked at the fish and couldn't think of where to put it.
"You brought so much food, there's not enough to eat!"

My eldest sister watched from the side with a homely grandmother’s smile on her face.

Soon everything was put in place, and Yang Xiaotao prepared to roll up his sleeves and cook.

"Big sister, who's coming today?"

Yang Xiaotao looked around and saw that they were the only ones in the room. The old man had not come back yet, and there was no sign of anyone else either.

The eldest sister was kneading dough, and Ran Qiuye and Tang Mingyue were helping her. It seemed that they were going to make dumplings.

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's question, the elder sister smiled and said, "You came early, they won't be back until six o'clock?"

"As for who it is, you'll know when you get here."

Okay, Yang Xiaotao didn't ask any more questions and turned into the kitchen.

"Brother Xiaolong, can you kill fish?"

Tong Xiaolong nodded immediately after hearing this, "Leave it there, I'll do it!"
