Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 55

Unless, find a woman who is in the courtyard in the original drama.

Yang Xiaotao returned home, lay on the bed, looked at the beams, Xiaowei was dancing happily on the back of her hand.

Spring is here, everything is full of vitality, making Xiaowei very active.

Thinking of the women in the courtyard, several names came to mind.

"Lou Xiao'e, Yu Li, Qin Jingru, Yu Haitang..."

"It seems that these few are not bad in this courtyard, at least they can survive."

"However, these are not good things."

"Maybe, you can try."

Yang Xiaotao rested his arms on his pillow, his eyes were blurred with the strength of alcohol.

In a trance, a graceful figure appeared in front of his eyes, lightly undoing his shirt, revealing his white and tender body.

Yang Xiaotao just felt, and then saw that the woman next to her turned into a girl with a round face, a rural girl with braids, and a girl with a ponytail. This woman turned out to be Qin Huairu.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and got up helplessly to tidy up.

"Qin Huairu?"

Yang Xiaotao shuddered, "This woman should stay away."

The next morning, Yang Xiaotao hung the two fish outside the house. It was still cold, so it happened to be dried fish.

Instant noodles with eggs and ham, a simple breakfast, filled the kettle with water, picked up a book and stuffed it into the schoolbag, said hello to Uncle Chen, and walked towards the rolling mill.

Walking out of the gate, I happened to see Uncle Shazhu and Jia Dongxu.

Now the three of them often commute together, which is okay.

Yang Xiaotao didn't even bother to go up to say hello, so he quickened his pace and walked past.

"Bah! Pretending to be a scholar..."

Silly Zhu shouted from behind, but Yang Xiaotao ignored it.

Close to the rolling mill, along the way, there are many pedestrians, some who are familiar say hello, and those who don't know bow their heads and hurry.

Walk to the workstation, pack up the items, and then start a busy and fulfilling day.

In the courtyard, when Yang Xiaotao was leaving, in the Jia's house in the middle courtyard, Jia Zhang's eyes never left the window.

"Mom, what are you looking at?"

After Qin Huairu cleaned up the table and washed the dishes, she saw her mother-in-law lying on the window with her buttocks up, so she stepped forward and asked.

Jia Zhang looked back at her and said angrily.

"I didn't see anything. If you have nothing to do, go buy something to eat. We don't have much noodles at home."

Qin Huairu's face was miserable when she heard that, Jia Dongxu's salary of 27 yuan per month, when she took it back, she first gave Jia Zhang three yuan, saying it was pension money, and then only gave her ten yuan for her family, and the rest was in Jia Dongxu's hands. inside.

In the past few months, I haven't seen him buy anything, but every time the family can't eat at the end of the month, when I ask him for money, he says no.

When I was in a hurry to ask, I beat her with my hands, and she didn't dare to ask again after several times.

He doesn't know what entertainment, but it can't be like this every month.

"Mom, Dongxu doesn't give much money this month."

Qin Huairu wiped the only one yuan and thirty cents left in his pocket, and looked at Jia Zhang.

"Running out?"

"Qin Huairu, how do you take care of the housekeeper? There are still seven or eight days before salary will be paid this month. How will the whole family eat?"

"You are going to starve me to death."

"Is there a daughter-in-law like you?"

Jia Zhang turned around, pinched his waist and pointed fingers, his face full of anger.

Qin Huairu was even more bitter, what kind of mother-in-law is this.

However, she also wanted to keep some of this dollar. After the child came out, there must be some money for the child.

Thinking of this, he said aggrievedly.

"Mom, you know what's going on with our family. There's only a little stick noodle left at home, and you're not used to it. I don't have any money either."

Thinking of the unpalatable steamed corn bread, Jia Zhang just ate braised pork last night, and he didn't want to eat that thing anymore, and his face softened.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu quickly said, "Mom, Dongxu doesn't give you every month..."

"To shut up."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Zhang jumped up, like a cat that stepped on its tail, the boss with triangular eyes staring, the corners of his mouth were cracked to reveal jagged fangs, "Qin Huairu, I tell you, don't hit my old man!" Book."

"That's what Dongxu gave me for the elderly. If you dare to have any wrong thoughts again, you'll get out of this house!"

Qin Huairu froze, only feeling a pain in the heart, and hurriedly clutched his chest and sat down on the stool.

Neither of them spoke, and the room was silent for a while.

Jia Zhangshi waited for a while, seeing that Qin Huairu still ignored her, knowing that he had talked too much, not to mention that the other party still had the flesh and blood of her old Jia family in his stomach.

"Huairu!"

Jia Zhang's tone was kind, and he walked aside, "Our family is really in a bit of trouble. But at this time, who's life is easy? Look at my age, I don't have a few years to live, I have to save some money for the elderly Bar."

"In my life, I was lonely and helpless. Dongxu's father left early, and he was a father and a mother to pull Dongxu up. Now that I have a daughter-in-law, it's not easy for me."

Jia Zhang came as soon as he opened his mouth, full of warmth, and his words were full of true feelings.

Qin Huairu's heart trembled when he heard this, and the small thoughts that had just arisen were all gone, and he looked up at Jia Zhangshi.

"Mom, I know it's not easy for our family, but right now I only have one yuan, and I've used up my grain this month, so I can't buy much for vegetables and noodles."

As he said that, he took out the money in his pocket, feeling very helpless.

Jia Zhang rolled his eyes, then looked outside the door, and said to Qin Huairu, "You, don't you know how to be flexible!"

"There are so many people in our yard, there are kind-hearted people like Da Ye and Sha Zhu, and the neighbors help us. It's hard for us to live, so it's only natural to borrow some food!"

After hearing this, Qin Huairu said in embarrassment.

"Last month, our family borrowed [-] catties of stick noodles from my uncle, and we haven't returned it yet. How can we borrow it again?"

After hearing this, Jia Zhang put his hand on her forehead, "You girl, are you being stupid in the country?"

"We borrowed it based on our ability, why should we pay it back?"

"You, just go ahead and borrow it. See if they're willing to ask for it. What's the life of our Jia family, they all eat so much food, do they still want it?"

This is said with confidence and confidence. It is not borrowing based on ability, it is taking.

Jia Zhang's demeanor gave Qin Huairu confidence.

Perhaps, this city is different from the countryside.

"Go, don't come back if you can't borrow it."

Seeing that Qin Huairu was still hesitating, Jia Zhangshi immediately put on a straight face, Qin Huairu had no choice but to leave and go to the uncle's house.

There was no one in the room, so Jia Zhang lay down on the window sill again, staring outside.

After a while, Uncle Chen walked out of the house with a bench and went to the front yard.

Jia Zhang showed a smile on his face, then moved his a little sore calf, and continued to watch.

Finally, in the middle of the morning, Aunt Chen walked out of the house with a dustpan in her hand, which contained rice, and put it in the sun to dry, and then went to the backyard to visit.

The opportunity is here.

At this moment, Jia Zhang's face was full of excitement, and he quickly opened the door. His two thick short legs left two sets of footprints on the ground at an extremely fast frequency, and quickly ran outside Yang Xiaotao's yard.

Then carefully look around, most of the people in the courtyard are at work at this time, and the rest of the women are also doing their own things, no one really noticed this.

Three or two steps, stepped into the yard, looked up and saw two fish hanging from the eaves.

"Damn little bastard, such a big fish doesn't know how to be filial to me. It's a pity that it's broken in the wind and rain. Why don't we let us do it for you?"

Jia Zhang's mouth was talking, but his eyes were looking for something to get the fish down.

Yang Xiaotao hung the fish very high at that time, and Jia Zhang's body was not tall, and his figure was still out of shape, so he couldn't reach it when he jumped up.

After searching for a while, I didn't see any footsteps.

"This little bastard has nothing to do with planting a vegetable garden."

Jia Zhang said resentfully, intending to spread the soil for him, but she was afraid of leaving evidence, and she also had a kind of fear of Yang Xiaotao.

That's the master who beat up the silly pillar violently.

Without thinking too much, Mrs. Jia Zhang finally found the tool, which was the ax from Uncle Chen's house next door.

He didn't care about anything else at the moment, he ran over to pick up the ax after seeing that there was no one around, went to the hanging fish, aimed at the biggest fish, and swung the ax to chop it down.

Snapped

patter
The ax hit the head of the fish, and it was dangling in the air, but it couldn't fall.

Papapa

Jia Zhang was not discouraged either, and after more than ten swings in a row, he stopped to take a breath and regain his strength.

At this time, the position of the head of the big fish had been chopped off, and the part of the upper body that was not affected was still tied to the house.

As the ax fell on the fish, the fish meat flew wildly and fell to the ground, scattered everywhere.

"This, this damned little bastard. Why is the tie so tight?"

Jia Zhang felt the blood and minced meat splattered on his face, his clothes smelled fishy, ​​and he wanted to jump up and pull the fish off immediately.

pity.She can't reach it.

Seeing that most of the fish were still intact, and the fish that fell on the ground were not edible at all, Jiazhang took a breath, and then weighed the ax in his hand.

Looking at the sling on the room, Jia Zhang's heart skipped a beat, feeling that he could do it.

She raised her arm, glanced twice, and threw the ax in her hand with a ferocious expression that was about to gnash her teeth.

Snapped

bang~~~
slam
Jiazhang threw out the axe, and then saw that the fish hanging under the eaves only moved twice, but the axe smashed the glass in front, and then brought a piece of glass shards and fell into the room.

The sound of glass breaking was so harsh that it could be heard far away in the courtyard.

Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't care about whether the fish was fish or not. With a surge of strength, she turned around and ran home.

patter
The door opened and closed again at breakneck speed.

Jia Zhang leaned against the door, panting heavily, until she recovered from the sound of footsteps outside, turned around and looked out through the crack of the door.

The sound in the yard still aroused people's vigilance, and the first ones to come out were Da Ma and Qin Huairu.

Even in the middle courtyard, the sound was too harsh.

Qin Huairu was talking enthusiastically with the first mother, and the first mother knew about the difficulties at home, and said that when the first mother came back, she would bring her some stick noodles.

Disturbed by the sound, the two walked out to check the situation.

Afterwards, several people in the yard ran over, Aunt Chen also came back, and saw the situation in front of Yang Xiaotao's house.

"What's wrong? Who did it?"

Aunt Chen was furious. It didn't take long for this to happen. There was still a wife playing chess in the front yard, and she didn't dare to do it when a stranger came in. It must be someone in the yard.

The first mother also stepped forward and looked at the situation, especially the fish on the ground and the holes in the windows, and knew that it was someone maliciously destroying it.

Behind the crowd, Jia Zhang stood there as if nothing had happened. If she didn't come out at this time, the suspicion would be even heavier.

However, she thought of getting rid of the suspicion, but forgot the blood and flesh splashed on her body.

The surrounding aunts and daughters-in-law also focused their attention on the front and didn't see it.

Aunt Chen was furious, "This is something stolen into our yard."

"This kind of person, if found, must be sent to the bureau."

When she was young, Aunt Chen was not a good person, but she didn't want to be troublesome when she was older, so she seemed honest.

At this time, the first mother didn't know what to say, but thinking of the balance of the compound that her wife had been maintaining, she stood up and said, "Aunt Chen, this happened, and we women don't know how to deal with it. Let the old men and Yang Xiaotao come back and deal with it."

"Yes, Aunt Chen, what the aunt said is right, we are not the parties involved, let's talk about it after the men come back."

Qin Huairu next to him persuaded her that when she saw the fish all over the ground just now, she looked for Mrs. Jia Zhang.

She knew a lot about this mother-in-law, she was greedy, lazy, lazy and lazy, so it's hard to say that this matter has nothing to do with her.

Sure enough, Jia Zhang was found behind the crowd.

Then, looking at the blood stains on Jia Zhang's clothes, Qin Huairu could only scold the stupid pig in his heart.

Can't I just wipe my ass clean after doing something to myself?
"Yeah, we don't know what to do, let's wait for Yang Xiaotao to come back."

"Yes, Grandpa and the others can handle it too!"

Da Ma's proposal was quickly supported, and Aunt Chen couldn't object.

When everyone saw this, they left and waited for the night to talk.
