Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 22 The Noisy Courtyard
In the warehouse, Shazhu listened to the radio ringing over and over again, but he didn't have his name.

However, there are two people whose names are very harsh.

One is Xu Damao, and the other is Yang Xiaotao.

He remembered that the man ran into the third workshop, and immediately felt that Yang Xiaotao was the most suspicious.

And at that time, the assessment of the first-level fitter had already ended, so Yang Xiaotao had enough time to commit crimes.

The more he thought about it, the silly Zhu almost decided that Yang Xiaotao was the one who disgusted him.

Thinking about Yang Xiaotao's past, I just feel that this guy is even more shameless and bad than Xu Damao.

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu wanted to find a stick to beat him up, but considering that this was a factory, the guards would not let him go.

"Hmph, I'll make you look good after I get out of the factory."

In the afternoon, the factory began to distribute wages and non-staple food tickets.

This is the day the workers have been looking forward to.

Compared with going to the grain store to pick up grain, the wages and food stamps issued by the factory are directly related to the living conditions of the family.

The line started waiting right after dinner.

The factory's finance department also calculated the latest wages, and started to prepare for the distribution with the list book.

"Line in line, and the ones whose names are called go forward and line up."

The guards of the nearby factory maintained order, and the workshop director began to roll the roll.

Then the team lined up, each happily waiting for the wages to be paid.

No matter how much, money is worth celebrating.

The wages and benefits of the rolling mill, in the eyes of the country people, are like life in heaven. A farmer's work points for a year may not be worth ten yuan in money, and the minimum apprenticeship of a worker in the rolling mill is 18 yuan a month.

It can't be blamed on Qin Huairu choosing Jia Dongxu, because Jia Dongxu is a first-class fitter, while Yang Xiaotao is just an apprentice.

The difference between the two parties is 9 yuan.

"Yang Xiaotao, you are a first-class fitter, and your salary is 27 yuan."

"This is a food stamp, 22 catties! This is a non-staple food ticket, 4 taels each for oil and salt, and 3 taels for meat!"

Yang Xiaotao took a stack of banknotes, and then several food stamps and non-staple food stamps. These things are linked to grades, because workers operate machines with heavy physical labor, so they have more rations.

Wang Fa in front of him took a bunch of tickets.

Not only oil and salt, but also sugar tickets and cloth tickets.

In short, if you want to live well, you must upgrade your level.

After the salary is paid, it can be regarded as an official holiday.

The workers walked out of the factory together, some said to see you in the New Year, some took them to drink and celebrate together, and so on.

Yang Xiaotao declined the invitation of Wang Fa and others. Right now he is only a first-class fitter, so it is not worth celebrating.

When will it be promoted to level eight, it will definitely be a big feast.

Walking out of the gate, Yang Xiaotao came to a poplar tree without a trace, stretched out his hand to support the trunk, pretended to take off his shoes and dumped the soil, and then felt his sleeves bulge, and then Xiaowei appeared at the neckline.

"shhhhh"

"Are you full today?"

"Whoa!"

"Let's go shopping!"

It was still early, and Yang Xiaotao was not in a hurry to go home. Now that the house was short of things, he happened to have money and tickets, so he went to Chaoyang Market to buy some food.

After walking for more than an hour, we came to Chaoyang Market.

As a well-known trading market, when it first started here, it was also for the convenience of rural farmers' transactions, so the supplies here may be a little less than that of the supply and marketing cooperatives, but in terms of freshness, they are not comparable to the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Walking in the vegetable market, there are not too many shouts around, and there are not so many ostentatious vegetable sellers these days. After the items are arranged neatly, the seller will sit in the back, and those who are interested will naturally buy them.

Many of the vegetables here are old farmers from the countryside. Vegetables grown in their own fields can be bought here without a ticket, but the corresponding price may be higher.

These are also unwritten rules, and unlike Pigeon City, everyone here has registered with the street office, and there will be no speculation.

Yang Xiaotao walked around, looking at the cultural sceneries unique to this era, feeling the vicissitudes he had never felt before.

Most of the market buys cabbage and radishes. As for seasoning, oil and salt, there are almost no ones. Yang Xiaotao probably has to go to the supply and marketing agency to buy them.

Of course, there are not many meat sellers here, and they are all chicken and duck, and then there are live chicken and duck.

Yang Xiaotao wanted to buy two chickens to keep at home, but thinking about the beasts in the yard, he probably bought them into other people's stomachs.

Although he is not easy to be fooled, but there will always be no answer in his heart.

Turning around, Yang Xiaotao was holding a small bag of eggs, fifteen of which cost seventy cents.

They are all laid by old hens, they are not small in size, there is no feed these days, and what they eat is all natural and pollution-free, so the nutritional value of these eggs is much higher than that of the previous life.

That is to say, there are only fifteen aunts selling eggs this time, otherwise Yang Xiaotao would have bought more.

Eat one a day for a healthier body.

When Yang Xiaotao was fresh in the vegetable market, there was a burst of crying and howling in the courtyard.

In the middle courtyard, Yi Zhonghai was sitting on a stool drinking tea, and when he heard the voice from the backyard, he shook his head without error.

"Old Liu is beating his son again?"

The third master rushed over when he heard the voice, although his face was asking, but he was gloating.

There are more than 20 households in the entire courtyard, and only eleven households work in the rolling mill, so every time the factory is assessed, it is a major event in the courtyard.

Whoever has passed, and whoever has not, will publicize it.

Before the assessment, Liu Haizhong had sworn that he would succeed. He would become an eighth-level worker by then, and his status would not be lower than that of a master.

In the past two days, he has made a lot of limelight in front of him, the third master.

It's not just Liu Haizhong, but also Xu Damao from the backyard, and Jia Dongxu from the middle courtyard.

Really bullying him, the people's teacher, didn't get promoted, it's annoying.

But now, I heard that the rolling mill has increased the difficulty of the assessment, and only Xu Damao and Yang Xiaotao passed in the entire compound.

Liu Haizhong and Jia Dongxu lost face, hiding at home and not daring to see anyone.

Actually, speaking of it, Xu Damao is considered an assessment?

Yang Xiaotao was the only one who passed.

This guy has only been in the class for two months and can pass the assessment. It's really not a face.

Yan Fugui was thinking in his heart whether he should ease the relationship with Yang Xiaotao, at least he didn't get ahead of what happened last time, although he has calculated a lot in these years, but the past is over, as long as he treats him better now, won't it be all right?
"My second child feels uncomfortable, let's get angry."

Yi Zhonghai said with a smile, he already knew what Liu Haizhong was thinking.

So he couldn't get through the bangs, and he was also happy.

"It's all my own flesh and blood. This old Liu is too ruthless. Grandpa, should we take care of it?"

"Hey, it's hard for an upright official to decide on housework. Let's save our worries."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking and walked into the room, Yan Fugui sighed and turned around to go out, but a trace of disdain flashed in the corner of his eyes.

"It's hard to settle housework when paying off a clean official. How often do you not participate in Jia's affairs? Bah, hypocrite!"

At Liu Haizhong's house, Liu Haizhong beat Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu with a feather duster. The two who beat them squatted in the corner with their heads blown and howled. They looked pitiful, but they didn't dare to resist.

On the side, the second aunt put scrambled eggs on the egg table, took out a plate of peanuts, a pot of two boxes of noodle steamed buns, and half a bottle of wine, placed them on the table, and called Liu Guangqi to come over for dinner.

The boss, Liu Guangqi, sat down and didn't look at the two brothers who were beaten. He just picked up the wine bottle and filled himself with a glass, and then filled his bangs.

From beginning to end, there was no sympathy for the two younger brothers who were beaten.

Liu Haizhong was tired, so he threw the feather duster on Liu Guangtian, "Go and stand in the back room for me, you are not allowed to eat today!"

"Hurry up, count three!"

Liu Guangtian supported Liu Guangfu and immediately crawled to the back room, for fear of delaying time.

"Two bastards, besides making me mess up, what else can they do?"

Liu Haizhong sat down angrily, and poured the wine into his mouth in one gulp.

"Guangqi, have you thought about the job you told me?"

"Ok!"

Liu Guangqi answered without raising his head, and then pulled the scrambled eggs into his mouth.

"Any ideas?"

"This job earns little money and is too tiring, so I don't want to go."

"Well, well then, I'll ask someone to find you another."

"Know!"

The two ate, and the second aunt sat aside and watched, waiting for the two to eat and drink enough, and then went back to the house to rest.

Then the second aunt called Liu Guangtian and his brothers out for dinner.

The second uncle's house had just fallen, and the Jia's house in the middle courtyard burst into curses again.

However, the object of the curse this time was not Jia Dongxu who failed the assessment, but Qin Huairu who had just returned from her natal home.

"What kind of person, go back and don't bring some souvenirs back to honor the old lady."

"Thanks to the old lady for asking you to bring back some toffee. Is this how you are in-law?"

"Do you still have the face to come to the city in the future!"

"A group of bumpkins from the countryside who don't even know how to communicate with each other. They deserve to dig up dirt and eat it!"

Jia Zhangshi sat at the door holding the soles of his shoes, yelling and cursing, making Qin Huairu's face turn bright and red in the room.

At noon, Qin Huairu returned to Qinjia Village after a long journey.

When he brought the candy and cigarettes to his family, he was indeed warmly welcomed by his family, but when he talked about returning the bride price, the entire Qin family fell into dead silence.

It turned out that Qin Huairu's elder brother was also going to marry a wife, and the dowry money from the Yang family happened to be embezzled. Now that it's time to get married, how can there still be money to pay?
As for the Jia family's betrothal gift, in order to show that their daughter married a city person, the Qin family used almost all of the banquets in the village.

Now, asking them to spend 15 yuan, wouldn't that kill them?
After Qin Huairu finished speaking, the old man of the Qin family almost fainted, and then the boss shouted angrily, "Do you want money, or do you want to die!"

Even Qin's mother cried and said that the family really needed money.

Qin Huairu also wanted to give up for a few days, but she also knew how difficult it was to save ten yuan in the countryside.

But thinking of her mother-in-law's temper, she could only grit her teeth and force her mother and father.

After all, this is owed to the Yang family.

If you don't give it, you will go to jail.

In this way, the Qin family took out the money from the engagement, and went to the brigade secretary's house to borrow some money, and finally collected 15 yuan for Qin Huairu to bring back.

When something like this happened, Qin Huairu was ashamed to eat at home, and took the money and hurried to the city.

In the afternoon, as soon as Qin Huairu came back from her mother's house, Jia Zhang stared at her with triangular eyes and swept Qin Huairu's body over and over again.

Although he had the money, he didn't see any of the expected souvenirs. Then he heard that Jia Dongxu had failed the examination, so he found an excuse to blame Qin Huairu.

In the room, Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu's sullen look, and cried when his eyes turned red.
