Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 736 Welcome
Forty-Nine City, Rolling Mill.

The phone rang, and Yang Youning, who was about to leave, picked up the phone.

When the voice came, Yang Youning immediately recognized it was Liu Huaimin's voice.

"Old Liu, I'm about to get off work."

"Old Yang, I also received a notice from my superiors. Yang Xiaotao will come back by car tonight, and the superiors will ask you to meet him at the rolling mill."

"Yang Xiaotao is back? What time will we arrive at the station?"

Yang Youning immediately regained his energy. He had been discussing things with Chen Gong for the past two days, and Yang Xiaotao needed to carry out many key points.

I thought this guy would come back after the Chinese New Year, but I didn't expect to come back now. I really want to give him a pillow when I want to sleep.

"At ten o'clock in the evening, it may not be on time. You arrange people. This time, some children will come back with you. You should talk to the street office and get ready."

"Street Office? Children?"

"Yes, as mentioned above, let the comrades in the street office arrange it."

"it is good!"

Yang Youning didn't ask any more questions, hung up the phone, and immediately picked it up again.

"Security Division? I, Yang Youning, let Section Chief Zhao come over."

After a while, Zhao Chuanjun walked into the office, and left in a hurry after a while.

In the sub-district office, Director Wang, who had already returned home, was about to cook, when he suddenly saw Officer Xiao Li running over, put down the kitchen knife after saying a few words, and greeted him and walked towards the courtyard.

Courtyard house

Ran's mother was looking at the falling snowflakes through the window with Duanwu in her arms, counting them from time to time, but Xiao Duanwu wanted to reach out to grab them, but was always blocked by the glass.

The rattling made Ran's mother very happy.

Ran Qiuye supervised his younger sister and younger brother to study, stroking their stomachs from time to time.

In the house, the kettle on the heating stove is emitting green smoke, which is warm and pleasant, keeping the cold out of the window.

Outside the yard, the wind had stopped, and the ground was covered with white. Wangcai hid in the den, sticking out his tongue from time to time to catch the falling snowflakes.

Jia Zhang did not sit at the door as usual, mainly because it was cold and afraid of the cold wind.

Not long after Qin Huairu was happy, she was faced with a difficult situation at home.

There is not much food, and most importantly, there is not much coal at home.

It’s okay to do it normally, but if it’s cold and the stove isn’t on, the house is like an icehouse, especially in their house, the door and windows of the house face east, and the sun can’t be seen in the middle of the afternoon, and the house is very cold.

Originally, I thought about spending some time to see how the compound is arranged. After all, there are always people who "reach out" every year, and the compound will also organize to help people like them.

So I haven't bought it all the time, but I don't want this winter to come early.

It was getting cold too fast.

In the house, Qin Huairu was cooking, frowning.

On the kang, the stick was wrapped in a quilt, lying on the table, staring at the book, and poking the table with the pencil in his hand, struggling.

In the front yard, Yan Fugui also competed with his son and daughter-in-law.

It's cold, it's time to buy coal.

But the coal money cannot be paid by itself, it has to be apportioned.

There is no way, these years have to live on a budget.

What's more, it's cold and early this year, so the extra part can't be paid for by yourself.

In the house, the three mothers sat in front of the stove and guarded the pots and pans. The food was already prepared inside, and they were waiting for the old man to reach an agreement to boil the pot.

Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiekuang led Yan Jiedi to the side, and they also showed reluctance on their faces.

Although I didn't pay any money, I clearly remembered it in my father's notebook, and after that, I have to pay it back.

There was a stalemate in the room, Yan Jiecheng lowered his head and looked at his toes.

One end is my parents, and the other end is my daughter-in-law.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat!

In addition, his job is not stable now, and he has not earned as much as Yu Li, so in this family meeting, he is a little weak in speaking.

Yu Li sat there with her arms folded and her face calm.

Yan Fugui's meeting before dinner today made her feel very uncomfortable.

Normally, it’s enough to pay for meals at home, but the coal bought here has to be shared?
She didn't say anything like this before, after all, the money was handed over.

But since you have money in your hands, who is willing to hand it over?

Then I thought about digging and searching for their money from time to time on weekdays. This requires money, and that also requires money, as if they are not relatives of the family.

Yu Li was upset, so she just leaned on her like this to see who could be unreliable.

After a while, the third mom couldn't sit still anymore, and winked at Yan Xiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng glanced at his father, then at Yu Li, and in the end years of education prevailed.

She reached out and tugged at the corner of Yu Li's clothes, and Yu Li reached out and patted it off.

Yan Jiecheng pulled it off again, Yu Li frowned, "Yan Jiecheng, what do you mean? Just say what you want."

"No, I, I'm not..."

Yan Jiecheng had a bitter face, he had no status in his family at all.

"What's wrong, a big man, hesitating, can he be the head of the house?"

Yan Fugui squinted his eyes and said in a bitter voice, Yan Jiecheng opened his mouth, "I, why am I not in charge of me?"

"Yu Li, isn't it just to raise money to buy coal? We don't have much of that, so give it."

Yan Jiecheng stood up and spoke seriously to Yu Li.

"Give it, give it as if you have money, give it."

With that said, Yu Li stood up and went back to the house.

"Hey, Yu Li, eat, I want to eat."

"Don't eat."

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly chased him out, while Yan Fugui and the third mother smiled triumphantly.

The eldest daughter-in-law's ability to calculate is getting stronger and stronger, and the old couple is a little stressed.

Before dinner was ready, Yu Li was seen walking towards the gate with her bag and Xue Huazi on her head.

Yan Fugui and the third mom opened their mouths wide open, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Yan Jiecheng ran out after him, and came back to sit on the stool after a while.

"Go back to your mother's house now?"

The third mother asked, Yan Jiecheng nodded in a daze.

"It's good to go back, and reflect on yourself."

After Yan Fugui said something, he let the meal go, and Yan Xiecheng sat there waiting without saying anything.

The three mothers on the side put the buns, pancakes, and a pot of stewed cabbage on the table, and looked at Yan Xiecheng's distressed look, "The Yang family will have three children after the New Year. You got married too early, and now you don't have any of them."

"Boss, you should think about it."

Yan Jiecheng remained silent.

Dong dong dong

A knock on the door suddenly came from the door, Yan Fugui squinted his eyes and wanted to get up, but Yan Jiecheng was quick, raised his legs and walked out.

"Hmph, you still have to come back."

"It's like our family, I missed it..."

Yan Fugui thought it was Yu Li who had come back, and was about to sneer when he saw the first person running in, which was Director Wang from the Sub-district Office.

Behind him were two clerks from the sub-district office, looking as if they were going through all kinds of wind and snow.

Regardless of eating, he dropped his chopsticks and ran out wearing his coat.

"Director Wang, this is..."

"I'm going to the Yang family in the middle court."

Director Wang threw down a word and walked towards the vertical flower gate.

When Yan Fugui saw him, he thought about it and hurried to follow him to have a look.

In the middle courtyard, many people saw Director Wang rushing over, with snow covering his head and body.

"Aunt Wang, why are you here?"

At the door, Ran Qiuye heard the movement and came out to watch. He was wearing a coat and looked surprised.

"Qiu Ye, Grandma of the Dragon Boat Festival, good news, good news."

Director Wang smiled, and Ran Qiuye hurriedly asked people to enter the room.

The three of them shook off the snow at the door, and were immediately welcomed into the house.Yan Fugui, who followed, also walked in, but he felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Wangcai.

However, the Yang family is really warm here.

This heating stove is now in use?
Really, luxury.

Yan Fugui sighed, and Wang Dashan's family came from outside, and the little daughter-in-law of the Liu family also came to check the situation.

There were a lot of people in the room, and Ran's mother handed the enamel mug to Director Wang, and then found a mug for the two officers.

"Aunt Wang, it's such a cold day and it's still snowing, so let's talk about what's going on tomorrow."

"It's late, it will be too late to talk about it tomorrow."

Director Wang took a sip of hot water, then looked at Ran Qiuye, and said with a smile, "The street office received a notice from above, and Xiaotao and the children will be back tonight."

Ah!
Ran Qiuye took a deep breath, his eyes widened with surprise.

"Really?"

"Really, what else would I do!"

"What time will you be back?"

"Arrive at the station at 25:[-], I guess it will be after eleven o'clock to pick up the person to our place."

Director Wang then said the phone call he received, "How many children are there this time? Do you know Qiuye?"

"Yes, Aunt Wang."

At this moment, Ran Qiuye was surrounded by happiness. Her husband was coming back, and her students were coming back.

"There are ten children and two adults!"

"12 people need to be arranged, okay, let's discuss how to arrange people to live."

"Okay, I have a place at home, and I can arrange for the children."

Ran Qiuye said, there are four houses in the family, she and her mother squeeze together, and the rest will not be a problem to arrange for ten children.

When the time comes, boys and girls will be separated, and the family will be able to live there.

"Director Wang, I can accommodate a few in my house."

When Wang Dashan's family opened their mouths, the little daughter-in-law of the Liu family joined in.

"My house is squeezed, and a room can be vacated."

Director Wang nodded in relief. Seeing this, Yan Fugui, who was on the side, thought that when Yu Li left, Yan Jiecheng's room would be vacated to share a bed with Yan Jiekuang, so he hurried forward, "Director Wang, as the uncle of the compound, he is also a teacher. I have the responsibility to take the lead.”

"My family can vacate a room and let the children live in my house."

Director Wang glanced and smiled, "Okay. Everyone has a good heart, and the street office will remember everyone."

"Director Wang, this is what we should do, and we dare not be greedy for credit."

Director Wang smiled, "Let's see the arrangement then."

Then he explained to everyone.

The children came back in the middle of the night, and they had to prepare food. The big guys put it on the table first, and the street office would give compensation.

Hearing this, Yan Fugui's mouth cracked to the back of his head.

Looking at the time, it is already past eight o'clock, and there is not much time left.

Soon, there was action in the yard.

Ran Qiuye hugged the Dragon Boat Festival, and asked people to find out the red quilt that Yang Xiaotao had prepared for the wedding, and asked people to put the stove back down.

Previously, only the Xitou side of the house was equipped with a heating stove. It turned out that Uncle Chen's house had not been installed, so he had to use a stove to replace it.

Many people knew that Yang Xiaotao was coming back tonight, and a group of students were going to live in the courtyard, so many people came out to help.

Then Wang Dashan's family led a group of women to do it in Yang's house.

Get on the dumpling and get off the noodles, and everyone kneads the noodles to prepare the noodles.

Ran Qiuye even asked Ran's mother to boil ginger syrup for the children to drink when they came back.

In addition, the prepared eggs and meat were also taken out, and people made a good meal to reward the children.

The pot at home was not enough, so I took it back to make it at home, and there was a sudden commotion in the courtyard.

Jia's family, Mrs. Jia Zhang came out to ask after hearing the news, and then went back home holding her face.

"Isn't it just coming back? It's like a big deal!"

"It's a waste of so much flour, eggs, and pork."

When Qin Huairu heard that Yang Xiaotao was coming back, she suddenly felt sore.

I don't know when my eyes were covered with mist. Fortunately, it was cold, and the mist dissipated in the blink of an eye.

Watching Sophora japonica fall asleep, tuck Xiaodang in the quilt, and then get up and put on the padded jacket.

"Where are you going?"

Jia Zhang questioned.

Qin Huairu looked at the bustling people outside, "Director Wang is there. I have to show it anyway."

Talking about getting ready to go out.

Jia Zhang's eyes rolled, "It's good to help, our family can also cook."

"Bring more meat and noodles, as well as briquettes, and we can keep some."

Jia Zhang was imagining, but Qin Huairu didn't respond and walked into the snowstorm.
