Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 61 Need it?

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao went to Uncle Chen's house as usual. These days, Uncle Chen helped his family take care of the house, especially the vegetables planted in the yard, watering and weeding, he was more caring than his master.

In fact, according to Yang Xiaotao's intention, just leave Xiaowei at home, so that she can take care of the yard.

Now the vegetables in the yard have just broken through the soil and germinated. This is because of Xiaowei's help at night. Without Xiaowei's help, it is really possible that as Uncle Chen said, vegetables cannot be grown in the courtyard.

Of course, trees can feed, let alone vegetables?
Worrying about nothing more than soil fertility and time to take care of it.

Now, with the help of Xiaowei, green seedlings have appeared in the yard, especially the leeks, which are the same every day, and are now as long as a finger.

This also made Uncle Chen very suspicious. He had planted in the yard before, but the results were very bad, so he put out the meaning of planting a garden.

But who would have thought, Yang Xiaotao really planted it.

It's not bad!How strange!

The Chen family!

Yang Xiaotao and Uncle Chen clinked glasses and drank, the roast duck on the table was sliced ​​by Aunt Chen, and the dipping sauce brought back was in a bowl beside it, the two of them ate with mouthfuls of oil.

"Xiaotao, you have to keep an eye on the yard. Recently, many people are looking outside!"

Uncle Chen leaned on the quilt, his eyelids fighting.

"Look, why did everyone laugh at me at the beginning, and now they are slapped in the face?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't take it seriously. Back then when he was growing vegetables in the yard, he heard gossip a lot.

Seeing this, Uncle Chen didn't say much, just closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Instead, Aunt Chen on the side persuaded.

"You kid, you seem to be quite sensible on weekdays, why can't you turn around?"

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao recalled it, "Auntie, when I came back today, something strange happened."

After speaking, he told about Yan Fugui's incident when he entered the door, and Uncle Chen beside him laughed.

Aunt Chen nodded, "Although this Yan Fugui is smarter, he is not stupid."

"Xiaotao, aunt isn't trying to make you feel wronged, but I have to say something."

"The people in this yard are not stupid, but even Sha Zhu, don't look at him in a daze, but he hasn't suffered a big loss!"

"So, some people want to get closer to you, don't rush to refuse."

"This society is still a society of people and people, and you have to communicate with society."

"So, according to my aunt's persuasion, I will lift up the pole when I pass it over. It will look good when we meet in the future, won't we?"

Aunt Chen spoke, but Yang Xiaotao listened patiently.

If these words were taken by another person, especially Yi Zhonghai who is good at moral kidnapping, Yang Xiaotao would definitely treat them as fart.

But when Aunt Chen said it, even if he didn't want to hear it anymore, he had to finish it.

Uncle Chen also sat up and picked up the pipe and pot, but Yang Xiaotao took out two cigarettes and handed them over, and they lit them.

The smokiness of the tobacco shocked Yang Xiaotao, and Uncle Chen said twice.

"This Yan Fugui can't be said to be bad. There are many people who can't afford food these days, and there are also many people who are scheming."

"It's just that, if you even plan on your own family, then it's over."

When Uncle Chen heard about the small books of Yan Fugui's family, he also felt contemptuous in his heart.

No matter how difficult life is, you can't suffer from your wife and children. Are you still a man in the capital?

The room was full of smoke, and Yang Xiaotao knew about it. Thinking of the ending of Yan Fugui's family in the TV series in his previous life, it can only be said that the calculation was too deep and the family disappeared.

"However, Xiaotao, my uncle told you that people like Yan Fugui can still be used."

"In this courtyard, you can't speak up every time you have something to do. Someone who will speak up for you will save you a lot of trouble."

Uncle Chen talked about his own judgment, but Yang Xiaotao is a person with God's perspective.

He dare not say that he knows all the people in the courtyard, but he is very clear about the characters and virtues of the characters in the TV series.

This Yan Fugui seemed gentle and gentle, and he only showed caressing, but Yang Xiaotao knew that if this person became ruthless, he would be even more vicious than Yi Zhonghai.

As long as Yang Xiaotao is clear about these, there is no need to argue with Uncle Chen and the others.

Besides, it is a mediocrity not to be envied by others these days, does he need someone to stand up for him?

As for the people in the courtyard, he really doesn't need it.

Anyway, he is doing well now, and no one is afraid.

The two drank some more wine, and after eating, Yang Xiaotao went back to the house.

When he went out, he vaguely saw a few figures in the yard, but Yang Xiaotao didn't care, he just lay down and fell asleep when he got home.

Uncle Chen, "My wife, do you want to tell Xiaotao about that?"

"Don't talk about it first, it will put too much pressure on him, and after that, isn't there still time?"

"Too."

At dawn the next day, Yang Xiaotao got up and thought of what Uncle Chen said last night, but he just took it to heart and didn't make any changes immediately.

Let him lick his face to be close to others, he really has no heart.

……

Time is like running water, and the days are slowly coming to April in a simple and ordinary way.

During the Qingming Festival, it rains heavily, and Yang Xiaotao also feels the loneliness of being a stranger in a foreign land on this day. That kind of loneliness is not only the loss of relatives, but also the nostalgia for another world.

After Qingming, the sky in Sijiucheng became warmer every day, especially after a heavy rain, it immediately felt like summer.

On weekends, Yang Xiaotao stays at home and reads books.

At this time, this small courtyard has become a unique scenic spot in the courtyard.

Near the west wall, cucumbers have grown on the shelves. Of course, these are all thanks to Xiao Wei. By manipulating the plants, absorbing energy, they will accelerate their growth and maturity. Otherwise, it would take May Day to see cucumbers.

In addition, the peppers and tomatoes grown have also begun to bear fruit, especially the tomatoes, some of which have turned red and can be eaten raw.

The cabbage is also growing well, and the white and green leaves are about the size of a palm. It is estimated that the cabbage will be ready in a few days.

The fastest growing ones are leeks, which have grown to half a foot long and have entered the harvest season.

Now this vegetable garden has become Xiaowei's new home, and she hides under the branches and leaves on weekdays, absorbing more and more energy.

And in the large water tank on the side, seven or eight carp and crucian carp were swimming happily, each weighing three to four catties.

These are all fished by Yang Xiaotao after get off work. With his first experience and proper preparation, he can reap a lot every time.

Except for the ones that are eaten, they are all raised here.

Vegetables, melons and fruits, fresh fish, pork bought from time to time, steamed buns on the dinner table, this kind of life, everything is in the eyes of the people in the compound.

Yang Xiaotao planted a vegetable garden that no one was optimistic about at the beginning. Although the yard is not big and there are not many fruits and vegetables in it, it is more than enough to satisfy the whole family.

What's more, there is only one person in Yang Xiaotao's family, and such a yard of vegetables is enough for him to eat.

In this day and age, turnips and pickles are served as vegetables. Naturally, people are envious of such vegetables, especially those in the middle courtyard. Every time they see Yang Xiaotao's courtyard, their eyes are full of greed and jealousy.

After Jia Zhang's recuperation during this period, his wrist has almost recovered, and after his body gradually recovered, his temper also recovered.

The mode of yelling and scolding started again, especially seeing that Yang Xiaotao's life was getting better and better, and their Jia family could only eat sticks of pickled vegetables, so they felt very uncomfortable.

"Little bastard with no conscience, there are so many people in the yard who can't eat, and don't know how to help everyone. You are really a white-eyed wolf."

"The old man doesn't care about it. Will this courtyard house respect the old and love the young in the future? Does it still have a sense of public morality?"

"No, I have to go to the old man and talk about it. Vegetables in this yard take up everyone's space, and should belong to everyone. Why should he monopolize the vegetable garden by himself?"

Jia Zhang found a good reason for herself and hurried to Yi Zhonghai's house.

Qin Huairu strolled around the yard every day with a big belly, and naturally saw Yang Xiaotao's situation, the green cucumbers, red tomatoes, and the smell of scrambled eggs with leeks in the morning, the smell of fish and braised meat from time to time.

After eating well and being full, the baby in her stomach started to make noise again.

At this moment, she already felt a little regretful.

If she were to marry Yang Xiaotao, everything in the yard would be hers now.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.

The people in the compound also wanted to step forward to please the relationship, but they were afraid that Yang Xiaotao would ignore his feelings and could only continue watching.

Silly Zhu's house, He Yushui returned home from the holiday today.

Watching Shazhu steam a pot of steamed buns, he picked up one and started eating.

"Brother, then Yang Xiaotao is really growing vegetables."

Sha Zhu also nodded, "Who wouldn't say it, why didn't we think of it at the beginning?"

"What's the use of thinking about it? We have no place to grow it."

"You're right, our courtyard is the only place where vegetables can be grown!"

After He Yushui ate a steamed bun, he suddenly smelled a smell of fish, and inhaled with his nose, "Brother, who makes fish, it smells so good."

Silly Zhu said angrily, "Who else? Yang Xiaotao, that guy catches three or four fish every time he fishes, and there are still several in the tank now."

"This guy eats fish or braised pork every few days. He lives so well and doesn't know how to help people in the compound. He really has no conscience and no man."

Silly said sourly.

He Yushui also wanted to eat fish, so he turned to look at Sha Zhu, "Brother, why don't we go fishing too."

Sha Zhu shook his head when he heard this, "Come on, the third master in the front yard will go with him, and the ones caught can only be boiled soup."

"Fishing depends on experience and luck. Let's not lose this man!"

"Then how did Yang Xiaotao catch it?"

"How do I know, it's all right, eat it quickly! I'll buy a fish in a while, and we will eat fish at night."

"Buy fish? Just ask him if he wants one."

"Huh? That's what you said."

Silly Zhu was a little moved.

"Second uncle, Yang Xiaotao is really wicked. The food at home is so good, and he doesn't share it with the people in the yard."

In the backyard, Xu Damao was carrying rice and cabbage in a vegetable bowl, squatting at the door smelling the smell of fish, and yelling at Liu Haizhong who came out from the side.

Liu Haizhong held half an egg in his hand and looked towards the middle court. He still remembered what happened when he was pushed down by Yang Xiaotao last time, and he was thinking about how to get revenge.

However, he is not an idiot, how could he fail to hear Xu Damao's words?

"Divided? How to divide? The yard is only so small, you ask for it, and he will give it to you?"

Liu Haizhong stuffed the egg into his mouth in one gulp, and finally licked the egg yolk on his hand, but he was thinking about it.

"You must not speculate, otherwise, hum!"

Seeing Liu Haizhong's fierce eyes, Xu Damao continued to bow his head to cook.

There was cunning in the eyes.

The house of the three grandpas in the front yard.

Every time I saw Yang Xiaotao coming back with fish, but the third master was empty-handed, I felt uncomfortable.

Especially in the courtyard of Yang Xiaotao's family, the vegetables inside are lush and green, and his family has to spend money to buy them, and sometimes they can't buy them, which is even more uncomfortable in comparison.

It's not that he has never thought about growing vegetables in the front yard, but the yard of Yang Xiaotao's house is his own, and the one in front of the door is owned by the public. If he wants to grow vegetables, at least the whole courtyard must agree, and the vegetables grown Naturally, it will also be distributed to the people in the courtyard.

Before and after the calculation, I always lose money and not make a profit, so I stop growing vegetables.

It's just that the third mother is getting heavier and heavier, and she can't keep up with the nutrition of eating pickled vegetable sticks.
