Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 418 Cough
After everyone's enthusiasm passed, Mr. Yang began to invite people to build wooden shelves. There are still a few wells in this village.

Wang Xuyang and Liu Yaohai, the head of Baima Village, greeted each other and took a set, ready to go back and tinker.

They watched the whole process, went back and tried to install it, and if it didn't work, they asked Yang Xiaotao to help.

The three of Xu Yuanshan and Wang Hao returned to the brigade headquarters. The affairs here are over, and it is time for them to go back.

Yang Xiaotao originally wanted to go back tomorrow, but was told by Xu Yuanshan that the rolling mill will hold a meeting tomorrow, and he is the protagonist and cannot be absent.

There was no other way, Yang Xiaotao told Ran Qiuye about it, and they went back together by car.

After Yang Xiaotao left, Mr. Yang and the others called a meeting of the village chiefs in the brigade headquarters.

"Here, there is a pressurized well, but it saves a lot of trouble, and you don't have to carry water in the future."

"But there is something I want to tell everyone."

Mr. Yang took out the cigarettes brought back by Yang Xiaotao, one for each of them.

The house was lit and filled with smoke.

"Da Zhuang, you say it!"

"Okay." Yang Dazhuang shook off the soot, "I brought up this matter. Now that we have pressurized wells, it is much more convenient to use water and plant more land. Therefore, I plan to compare the number of acres of fields reserved. , raise another [-]%."

In the original land arrangement of the farm, there is no area far away from the river. After all, the land there is dry, and if you want to plant corn, you can only rely on the little rain from God except artificially watering the land.

But the situation in the past two years has let them know that God can't be relied on.

The people around were silent for a while.

Raising [-]% means that everyone's workload has increased, and it's not as simple as [-]%.

"I agree!"

Uncle Jiu spoke first, and looked at the people around him, "It was impossible before, but now that there is a pressurized well, it is simple and convenient, and even a woman can press it for a day."

"This well can irrigate more than ten acres, I think so."

"I agree, isn't it just a [-]% increase? The country exempts us from public surplus food, and we contribute more to the country..."

"Yes, that's it, earn more, and let the children go to school next year..."

"It's done, I will explain it to the two bastards when I get home, and find a wife right away. Next year, there will be two more people and two extra labors..."

"Haha~"

Everyone said one sentence to another, and they supported each other inside and outside the words.

Yang Dazhuang breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Mr. Yang, both of them were delighted.

This is the attitude that their village should have.

Yang Xiaotao got off the truck, greeted Xu Yuanshan, and returned to the courtyard.

At this time, it was already dark, and the lights at the entrance of the courtyard were on, illuminating the children setting off firecrackers at the entrance.

When Yang Xiaotao approached, he saw Yan Jiefang leading Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi setting off firecrackers.

Seeing the happy faces of the three little ones, Yang Xiaotao suddenly felt that something was wrong with the third grandpa's family this year.

In the past, he would have calculated this and that long ago, but this year, it is a bit abnormal.

Thinking of the money lost by Jia's family, Yang Xiaotao thought deeply.

This Jia's family was unlucky enough, in the end it was cheaper for the third master's family.

If it's too calculated, you can always run into shit luck.

"Brother Tao, are you taking a big car? Isn't it fast?"

"Such a big truck is like a house, does Brother Tao sleep in it?"

When Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang saw Yang Xiaotao coming back, they hurried up to inquire.

Yang Xiaotao waved away the thoughts that popped into his head, and it wasn't his own money.

What's more, it was Jia Zhang's own work, and he deserved it.

"Truck, that's it, my butt hurts when I sit on it."

As Yang Xiaotao said, he walked towards the courtyard.

"Does your butt hurt?"

The two boys were messed up in the wind.

They also want a pain in the butt.

Back in the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao looked at Wangcai shaking his head and tail, looking like a single dog.

"Come on, let's clean up the hygiene tonight, it's a big cleaning before the year."

Yang Xiaotao said to Wangcai, if Xiaowei was still there, it would be most suitable for her to do this job.

I just don't know when this guy will wake up.

Go home and start cooking.

After eating, Yang Xiaotao started cleaning, cleaning the inside and outside of the house.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and Ran Qiuye is ready to post at home. As for the couplets, there is still time to write them.

Just post it in advance when I leave tomorrow.

Clean up the house, come to the yard, and clean up the garbage.

Especially Wangcai's nest is the focus of cleaning
Cough
Just as Yang Xiaotao was cleaning up the kennel, there was a coughing sound from the yard.

Then I saw Qin Huairu bowing his head and walking quickly towards Shazhu's house.

Qin Huairu covered her mouth and lowered her voice as much as possible, but she couldn't help the itchiness in her throat, so she still coughed.

She also noticed that Yang Xiaotao, who was busy with work, just glanced at it, and stopped looking. When he came to Shazhu's house, he pushed it in without knocking on the door.

"Pillar, you're busy."

Cough
Qin Huairu coughed, pushed the door open and came in, and saw Sha Zhu busy, rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find things.

"Come on, sit down, I'm busy."

As Silly Zhu said, he took out a black coat from the cooker, patted it twice, and put it on the head of the bed.

"Yu Shui is going to get married tomorrow, I'm going to find some clothes, I can't lose face."

Qin Huairu sat on the bed and looked at the clothes. Although they were very straight, they smelled musty.

"How long have you put these clothes? Can you still wear them out?"

Cough
"What you said is really interesting."

Silly Zhu leaned on it and asked, "I've bought this dress for several years, and I've been reluctant to wear it. It's just waiting for a wedding. Who would have thought it would be like this."

Qin Huairu picked it up and took a look, "It's okay, I'll lend it to you to wash it tonight, and let it dry in the sun tomorrow, so I won't delay the day after tomorrow."

"Really? Hey, thank you so much, sister."

Sha Zhu laughed happily. It was much better for someone to wash his clothes than Sha Mao.

"Zhuzi, sister has something to ask you."

cough cough cough
"Sister Qin, you are always coughing and you have to check it out. If you have a cold, you have to treat it quickly."

"It's okay, ahem, I may have caught a cold, and I'll be fine after taking some big pills."

Silly Zhu heard this, and quickly found a pack of Analgin from the drawer. This kind of thing is relatively common, and it can be eaten for colds and fevers, and it can also be eaten for those with headaches and foot pains.

The effect is not bad.

Hearing what Qin Huairu said, Sha Zhu didn't care, "Sister, tell me."

Cough
Qin Huairu collected her throat, then lowered her voice.

"Isn't the steel rolling mill going to pay customs fees tomorrow?" Qin Huairu moved closer and whispered, "I will hold your brother Dongxu's position, and you will have money. You and the uncle know about this."

"It's not convenient for my sister to go, so you can bring it back along the way."

Qin Huairu approached Sha Zhu, and the smell of soap on his body made Sha Zhu couldn't help but look over, bulging, and missed him very much.

"Sister Qin, I know about this, and I promise to handle it properly for you."

Qin Huairu saw that Sha Zhu glanced over from time to time, but he didn't look away. Instead, he straightened his back and looked even more majestic.

This is her proud capital.

Silly Zhu looked away, thinking that he would prepare a bottle of wine at home in the future, take a sip when he had time, and try again.

The more times I do this, the more natural it will be.

"By the way, this is what I got when I went out to make noodles today. It's a pig's tail. You can take it back and give it to Brother Dongxu."

"Then thank you Zhuzi." Qin Huairu quickly took the lunch box, and picked up the clothes on the bed, "I'll go back first, you go to bed early."

"Oh, good."

Qin Huairu coughed and returned home.

cough cough cough

There was constant coughing in the room.

Starting at noon today, Jia Dongxu coughed first in the Jia family, and then it was sticky, and now the whole family is not spared.

Mrs. Jia Zhang supported the stick, "Drink plenty of water, it will heal quickly. Cough cough."

Stick shook his head, "Grandma, I want to eat meat, cough cough"

Jia Zhang licked her lips, her throat hurt from coughing.

"Let your mother, ahem, do it for you."

Qin Huairu walked into the room, put down the lunch box, and touched Xiaodang's forehead, it was still hot.

"Mom, have you taken all the medicine?"

Jia Zhang nodded, looked at Qin Huairu's lunch box, and licked her chapped mouth, "Silly Zhu, cough cough, what did you bring, it's delicious."

"Pig tail. For a while, cough cough, cook some soup."

"Then you, hurry up, the stick needs to eat meat, Dongxu also coughs badly. Come on, supplement nutrition."

Qin Huairu nodded, coughed twice, found out the medicine, took a glass of water to drink, then got up and soaked Shazhu's clothes in the basin, and then started cooking.

"Bang, come on, drink some more water."

Looking at the clothes in the basin, Jia Zhang felt very uncomfortable, and her chest hurt even more.

In the backyard, Xu Damao rested his arms on his pillow, staring at the roof in a daze.

The surrounding is empty, and the room is even more deserted.

"After the new year, we must find someone who can give birth, and we can't fall behind."

Thinking of this, Xu Damao began to think about what kind of wife he should find.

There are a few previous dewy marriages in the rolling mill, but these people are widows. If you marry a widow, and there is the possibility of bringing a oil bottle, he will not raise children for others.

If a widow can't have it, then she can only find a little girl.

Moreover, it can't be worse than Lou Xiao'e.

Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that the more you mess around, the worse you get?Let silly Zhu see it as a joke?

But he was better than Lou Xiaoe. Among the people he knew, there were really not many people.

Perhaps Qin Huairu who was not married is one of them, but she is about to have three children, and she will become a widow in front of her, so forget it.

As for the other people in the courtyard, whether it was Ran Qiuye or Yu Li.

Not as good as Lou Xiaoe.

After thinking about it, a person suddenly popped into my mind.

Yu Haitang!
This girl is very good, not only young, but also beautiful.

Compared with Lou Xiaoe, she is more youthful and energetic.

Moreover, he is also an announcer in a rolling mill, a cultural person, and he is also a good match for a projectionist.

When we were in the office before, we got along well.

But that is, they may not be able to see him.

Especially the helper in the cafeteria.

This month's wages have been deducted a lot. It is estimated that half of the wages will be paid at the end of the year.

If he wanted to catch up with Haitang, he had to earn his job back first.

And if you want to come back to work, you have to vacate your seat.

"The projectionist."

Xu Damao turned around and looked out the window, "Non-toxic and not a husband."

Cough
In the next room, the second aunt suddenly coughed, making Xu Damao upset.

This night, I coughed a lot.

cough cough cough
In Yi Zhonghai's house, the aunt coughed and her heart ached, and her head was so hot that she felt dizzy.

Just after eating Analgin, he was lying on the bed, beside Yi Zhonghai was holding a bowl filled with millet porridge.

"Drink it quickly, and you'll be fine after lying down and sweating."

As Yi Zhonghai said, he helped the eldest mother to drink the porridge.

After a bowl of porridge went down, Yi Zhonghai put the big mom down.

"Old Yi, look at how much is left in the grain book, I have to go to the grain store to get some tomorrow."

"I haven't delivered the coarse grains you asked to deliver to Jia's family yesterday."

Cough
"It's the Chinese New Year soon, you, take the time to send them there."

"I see, you have a good rest."

"Hey, this disease, it's really not the time for the Chinese New Year."

Yi Zhonghai comforted him, looking at the bag outside the grain tank, his eyes thoughtful.
