Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 65 Director Wang's House
The next day, Yang Xiaotao thought about it all night, and felt that he still couldn't think of them too well.

I said yesterday to plan ahead, so I can't just do nothing.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao cut five or six catties of leeks in the yard, picked some tomatoes and cucumbers, sent some to Uncle Chen, and divided the rest into two.

Then fished out two big fish from the fish tank and shot them to death, put them in bags and divided them into two parts.

A small portion was prepared for the Zhou family, and the remaining large portion was prepared for Director Wang of the Sub-district Office and his Aunt Wang.

Since Mr. Yang left last time, he hasn't come to the door yet.

Although he was suspected of climbing relatives, he didn't think about climbing up. Besides, being a worker in this day and age is very honorable. Before the opening of the door, he will be a worker in a safe and secure way.

As for building a good relationship, it is also to reduce trouble.

Putting things into the storage space, Yang Xiaotao went out early in the morning.

The third master in the front yard got up early to exercise his body. Today he made up his mind to catch some fish, and he prepared a lot of fish food for this.

"Xiaotao, it's so early! Going out."

Yan Fugui watched Yang Xiaotao go out, and asked quickly.

Although it took a few books in exchange for some leeks and tomatoes, it is already a great face to be able to exchange things.

Especially since the second uncle and the first uncle have had a bad nose, he, the third uncle, can show his good popularity even more.

"Third master, good morning."

"Go out for a walk."

Yang Xiaotao said some polite words, then turned and left.

Yan Fugui looked at the leaving figure, and couldn't help muttering in his heart.

"This kid is really lucky, and all good things can happen."

"Do you want to move around in the future?"

Thinking of the books at home, Yan Fugui's heart came alive.

Yang Xiaotao went to Zhou's house first, and then went to the grain store on the way, and bought twenty catties of stick noodles, which he seldom eats at home, mainly the instant noodles, dried noodles, etc. that were exchanged, which were enough to eat. You can't not.

When I came outside the compound, I saw Zhou Kui playing in the corner with his two younger sisters. He has no official job yet and is a temporary worker.

There should be nothing to do right now.

As Yang Xiaotao approached, Zhou Kui saw it, and immediately ran over with his two younger sisters.

"Brother Tao, you, why are you here?"

Yang Xiaotao threw the grain bag to Zhou Kui, and then the two little girls carried fish and vegetables. Although they were puzzled, the smiles on their faces never disappeared.

"I'm off today, come to your house for a meal."

"Where's Auntie?"

"My mother is at home, and my second brother is also at home."

The youngest, Zhou Xue, spoke quickly, and Yang Xiaotao nodded and walked towards the house.

On the way, people in the surrounding yards were not surprised to see Yang Xiaotao.

The situation of Yang Xiaotao and the Zhou family is also known to those around them, so the comparison is no surprise.

But every time Yang Xiaotao came to Zhou's house, he would bring some things. In this day and age, these things make people jealous, especially when they heard that Yang Xiaotao became a second-level fitter.

At this time, the Zhou family is much stronger than last year. The second child, Zhou Peng, has become a regular worker, and his monthly salary is enough to support the family. In addition, Yang Xiaotao often helps the family. The life of the Zhou family can be seen with the naked eye. The speed changes.

If it wasn't for the eldest girl of the Zhou family who was only ten years old, everyone around would think that Yang Xiaotao had taken a fancy to her and was planning to get married.

However, they also heard about some things about Yang Xiaotao, which were not very good, so they also kept their distance.

Saying hello to the old man who was basking in the sun, Yang Xiaotao walked over to Zhou's house, and Aunt Zhou had already started preparing meals.

At the dinner table, Yang Xiaotao told about the situation in the vegetable garden, and Aunt Zhou was also surprised when she heard it.

No one has ever done this courtyard planting.

Zhou Kui and his brothers went to help earlier and talked about it when they came back, but she only thought it was Yang Xiaotao messing around, but she didn't want it to really happen.

Aunt Zhou was also a little moved. Although their house didn't have a yard, there was a road in front of the door.

Even if you can't plant it on the ground, you can find a box and plant it in it.

Aunt Zhou looked at Zhou Kuina's body and appetite, and made a decision in her heart.

So, after the meal, Aunt Zhou made the decision, and the brothers and sisters of the Zhou family nodded in agreement, only Yang Xiaotao could only helplessly agree.

He knows why his vegetable garden can grow so well, without Xiaowei's help, he still doesn't know how it will grow.

However, Yang Xiaotao didn't stop it. After all, this kind of attempt is not bad, and everyone has something to eat. If it doesn't work, it's just a waste of time, and it doesn't hurt.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao told Zhou's brothers about the incident in the yard, and also told Aunt Zhou what to do if someone came to investigate in the future.

As an elder, Aunt Zhou is naturally aware of this.

Then Yang Xiaotao left Zhou's house and followed the address given by Aunt Wang last time.

On the way, considering his first visit, Yang Xiaotao found two bottles of Xifeng wine and two packs of cigarettes from the space.

Immediately carrying the gift, he walked all the way to a small three-story building. The walls were all white without any decorations. The room was facing south and north, and the windows had large fans on both sides.

After asking the old lady on the street, I went to the second floor and knocked on the door.

After two knocks, the door opened.

The person who opened the door was an eight or nine-year-old boy, with a tiger head and a tiger head, and asked with big eyes.

"Who are you looking for?"

Yang Xiaotao looked inside to see that there was no one else, and then asked with a smile, "I'm Yang Xiaotao from Yangjia Village, is your mother at home?"

After hearing this, the little boy didn't let the door open, but shouted loudly into the room, "Mom, Mom, someone is looking for you."

Not long after, he heard someone coming out of the room, and then Yang Xiaotao saw Director Wang with his sleeves rolled up and water in his hands, wiping his apron while walking, walking quickly.

"Xiaotao, why are you here? Come in, come in."

Director Wang was also surprised when he saw Yang Xiaotao, but he quickly realized that he pulled Yang Xiaotao into the room, and then shouted to the little boy inside, "Huzi, go and call your dad."

"Oh!"

The little boy ran out in a gust of wind. Director Wang took off the apron and asked Yang Xiaotao to sit down.

When he came to the house, Yang Xiaotao took a look at the house. It was a standard two-bedroom house with two bedrooms in the south, a living room in the middle, and a small kitchen and bathroom in the north.

The main theme of the room is the green walls of this period. There is a table in the middle of the living room with a radio on it, some tea cups, and a light bulb hanging overhead.

"Xiaotao, you are here, why are you bringing so many things?"

"Aunt Wang, isn't this a visit? It's the first time. You can't come empty-handed."

"What's wrong with being empty-handed, we won't do this in the future."

Director Wang said sincerely, everyone can't get enough to eat these days, and the sum of these things is comparable to the living expenses of ordinary people in January.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao smiled and said no, and then asked about Director Wang's situation.

Director Wang also sat aside, brought a cup of boiling water to Yang Xiaotao, and talked about the recent situation.

Because of the effective disaster relief last time, Director Wang was commended by the above.

Although he was not directly promoted, he left a good impression and waited for a seat to be vacated to move up.

Yang Xiaotao didn't care about a word or two about work, so he asked about the situation at home.

"Your uncle's surname is Li, and his name is Li Tiejun. He works in the power supply station and is a team leader, in charge of three or two people."

"The one who ran out is Xiao Huzi, and there is an older sister who is in middle school."

Director Wang introduced the situation and then asked about Yang Xiaotao.

Just as Yang Xiaotao was about to speak, the door was pushed open, and a thin man walked in. He was wearing a blue overalls, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and thick lips. He looked naive, which made people feel real.

Little Huzi was following behind him, and he had already run into the house.

When the man walked in, he saw Yang Xiaotao standing up.

Director Wang at the side immediately came up to introduce.

"Old Li, this is the Yangjiazhuang I told you about, the grandson of Mrs. Yang, Yang Xiaotao."

"Xiaotao, this is my lover, you can call him Uncle Li."

Yang Xiaotao hurried forward, "Uncle Li, I'm Yang Xiaotao, this is my first time here."

"Okay, okay, sit down, sit down!"

Li Tiejun spoke loudly, with enthusiasm on his face, and stretched out his hand to ask Yang Xiaotao to sit down quickly.

Yang Xiaotao saw that his hands were full of calluses, he was no worse than the workers in the workshop, he was obviously a hardworking man.

Director Wang talked about the matter from the side, and Li Tiejun put on a straight face, "Take this thing back. We don't like this."

"It's not that Uncle Li looks down on you, so don't take it to heart."

"I also often go to the factory. The physical work you workers do is really tiring. If you have this money, you can buy some food to replenish your body and live a good life."

Sure enough, it is not a family, do not enter a door.

Yang Xiaotao could only tell about the situation, since both of them happened to be at home, so they didn't hide it.

"Aunt Wang, Uncle Li. That's why I came this time."

Yang Xiaotao drank his saliva and began to talk about growing vegetables in the yard. Of course, he didn't talk about the dirty things in the compound, but he was worried that he would be misunderstood when giving food to others, and that he was afraid of accidents, so he came here.

When the two heard it, they were a little dazed.

"Xiaotao, you said you grew these vegetables?"

Director Wang was the first to ask the question. It has been so many years, and I have never heard of anyone growing vegetables in the yard.

Yang Xiaotao could only confirm once again that Director Wang knew that this matter could not be faked after hearing it, otherwise he would know it when he saw it.

Li Tiejun picked up a tomato, and the little tiger who came out next to him had already gnawed it, with red juice all over his mouth, making Li Tiejun frowned, ready to scold him.

"Xiaotao, Aunt Wang is very happy that you have such a heart to help those in need."

"You are right, don't be afraid of others chewing their tongues, as long as you sit upright, no one will dare to bully you."

"Our society needs someone to stand up and help those who are in need, especially those who have made contributions to the country. Our current life is the result of the efforts of their ancestors. You have done a good job in this .”

"With great ability comes great responsibility! Xiaotao has done a good job."

Li Tiejun on the side was also full of admiration, and at this time a bold idea rose in Director Wang's mind, and then he couldn't control it, looking at Yang Xiaotao and asking carefully.

"Xiaotao, what do you think will happen when the street office organizes and promotes vegetable gardens?"

Yang Xiaotao knew it would be like this as soon as he heard it, but he couldn't elaborate, it was still the same sentence, it would be best if it worked out, and it would be a waste of a few cents if it didn't work out.

"Well! Aunt Wang, I think so. Since I can grow vegetables in my yard, other yards can naturally grow them."

"We are living a difficult life now, and we can't always count on state subsidies."

"Having vegetables in the yard can also reduce the burden on the country."

As Yang Xiaotao said, Director Wang kept nodding. She really wanted to do something for the country in her heart.

"However, Aunt Wang, the street office can take the lead in this matter, but it can only be encouraged, not forced."

Yang Xiaotao spoke again, Director Wang naturally understood the meaning of the words.

This is because Yang Xiaotao was afraid that he would not be able to end in the end, so he could only prepare in advance.

"Well, you're right."

Director Wang also knows that some yards can grow vegetables, but some people's homes are not suitable at all and cannot be forced.

Yang Xiaotao sat for a while, and then left.

Li Tiejun and Director Wang naturally wanted to keep him for dinner, but Yang Xiaotao refused on the grounds that it was dark. Seeing this, they could only take out cigarettes and alcohol for him to take back.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know how to take it anymore, so he left his things and went home.

In the room, after Yang Xiaotao was sent away, Director Wang picked up a cucumber and tasted it carefully.

Li Tiejun walked aside, "Your nephew is very capable."

Director Wang nodded, then thought of something else, and expressed Yang Xiaotao's concerns.

"Is there really such a yard?"

After listening to Director Wang's introduction, Li Tiejun was also surprised by the people in the courtyard.

"Who doesn't say it? If it weren't for the housing shortage, I would want to replace him."

"This child has been wronged a lot inside."

"After that, just watch more."

"Ah."

The two whispered something, but Yang Xiaotao walked to the courtyard in the last twilight.
