Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1429 What to do if you have no money?
When Yang Xiaotao rode his bicycle back to the courtyard, it was still bright.

During the recent period, Yang Xiaotao got off work on time, and then either went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables or went fishing.

People in the courtyard are also used to it. Anyway, looking at Yang Xiaotao, I always feel that the pace of life is slowing down.

At this moment, there was a big rooster hanging on the left side of the handlebar of Yang Xiaotao's bicycle. Its legs were tied. Its wings were drooping due to being empty for a long time, but it fluttered twice from time to time, making a final struggle.

There were three ribs hanging on the other side, tied with ropes. There wasn't much meat on them, but it still made people greedy.

There were two cabbages on the car seat behind, tied with straw ropes.

Coming back along the way made many people's eyes shine with envy.

But after seeing clearly that it was Yang Xiaotao, this envy became natural.

Some people even lament that if you can earn it, you can spend it.

The more you can spend, the more you can earn.

Yang Xiaotao is accustomed to these things, and even doing so is considered normal.

Don’t you just spend the money you earn?
What's more, I am not alone now, but with a big family.

While riding his bicycle, Yang Xiaotao was still lamenting the stability of prices.

Several years have passed, and a big rooster still costs one dollar and a half.

He remembered that when he first met Ran Qiuye, he went to the vegetable market and bought a big rooster. At that time, the price was one and a half yuan.

This will be left to future generations. It is estimated that it will have to rise to two yuan if it is not doubled.

At that time, Ran Qiuye even talked a lot with the person who bought the chicken. Not only did he get two cents, he also got a handful of dried mushrooms as a gift.

Thinking of this, the scene at that time appeared on Yang Xiaotao's face.

Scenes of the past, from meeting to acquaintance, from one person to the current family, from the small circle in the courtyard to the large circle in the current machinery factory, and even communicating with more people through the platform of the machinery factory.

Yang Xiaotao felt satisfied and even proud of himself.

Along the way, my life is getting better and better, and more and more people care about me.

I also integrated into this world more deeply.

What Yang Xiaotao has to do now is to live up to this opportunity.

He wants to make the people around him better and better.

The front gate of the courtyard.

Before Yang Xiaotao entered the room, he saw Yan Fugui walking out with a smile, and then came to Yang Xiaotao happily.

"Xiao Tao, come to my house for a drink tonight?"

Yang Xiaotao stopped the car and looked at Yan Fugui. If it had been before, he might have thought of scheming after seeing the big cock in Yang Xiaotao's hand.

But now, even if he is asked to make plans, he has to chew the words and think about the consequences.

When I say this today, there must be something else going on.

"Uncle Yan, what happy event have you encountered today?"

Yang Xiaotao asked calmly, and Yan Fugui continued to smile while holding his glasses, "Hey, this is not the boss of the family who has found someone. The woman's family came over to see you today. I think you have the highest status in this hospital, and you helped liberate such a big country." I’m busy, so I just want you to come and sit down.”

Yang Xiaotao suddenly realized that this was what happened.

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li have been divorced for more than a year. I thought they were both waiting for each other.

After all, in the original work, the two did not get divorced, and they ended up happily reunited.

So Yang Xiaotao always felt that the two of them would still be together.

Unexpectedly, Yan Jiecheng has given up waiting now?

No wonder I heard from Liu Yuhua two days ago that the third aunt was walking around with the third aunt in the street. I thought it was just the old man in the family who was anxious, but unexpectedly, Yan Jiecheng actually said it was okay.

"No more waiting?"

Yang Xiaotao asked, Yan Fugui looked embarrassed, and then said helplessly, "Isn't this also thinking of getting back together?"

"But she got married last month."

"There's no need to shiver here. Let's find another one quickly while we're still young."

Speaking of which, Yan Fugui was quite critical of Yan Jiecheng's divorce from Yu Li.

In his heart, Yu Li, his daughter-in-law, did a good job.

If she wants to look good, she is still a female factory worker, and she is willing to live in a small house with Yan Jiecheng, and she is well taken care of inside and out.

What's more important is how much money will be paid every month.

It's a little worse than Ran Qiuye's in the courtyard, but at least it's much better than Qin Huairu's or Qin Jingru's.

It can be said that marrying Yu Li is a blessing for Yan Jiecheng and a blessing for the Yan family.

It's a pity that his son failed to live up to his expectations, and such a good wife was lost.

Ugh!
Yang Xiaotao reacted after hearing this. Although it was different from the original work, there were so many different things because of his arrival. This was only a small matter.

Besides, what does this matter have to do with him?
He nodded indifferently and didn't ask about the woman, but he didn't want to get involved.

"Third uncle, there are people coming to my house tonight, so I won't go there."

As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao glanced at the door of Yan Fugui's house, then raised the things he was carrying and politely refused.

Yan Fugui's purpose in letting him go was very simple, which was to serve as a platform for Yan Jie.

Based on his status in these forty-nine cities, it is estimated that the girl's parents will agree after hearing about it.

After all, if there is a capable person in the same courtyard, it will be easier to do some things.

But are he and Yan Jie mature?

At most, they are the next-door neighbors whom you cannot see when you look up.

And shouldn't Yan Jiecheng come up with this kind of thing on his own?
Let dad take the lead, haha.

Besides, he and the Yan family have a normal neighborly relationship.

To put it bluntly, it is better to be close to the Wang family of the Intermediate Court.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's refusal, Yan Fugui sighed in his heart, knowing that his boss was still ineffective.

"That's it, I'll set up two tables later and treat you to a drink."

Yan Fugui faked a smile, and Yang Xiaotao nodded and drove his bicycle to the middle courtyard.

After Yang Xiaotao left, the third aunt came over with a basin in her hand, "Master, did he agree?"

Yan Fugui sighed and shook his head, "No, he won't come tonight!"

"Oh, hey, why can't you come here? We made an agreement with them!"

"This is how to do ah!"

After the words fell, a flash of disappointment flashed in Yan Jiecheng's eyes at the door.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to ease the relationship with Yang Xiaotao, and then he would admit his mistake and say a few polite words. I believe that with Yang Xiaotao's current status, he doesn't need to be on the same level as him.

By then, the woman's family will meet Yang Xiaotao, and the blind date will definitely be successful.

And if the relationship is good, I can also ask Yang Xiaotao to arrange a job. This kind of trivial matter is just a matter of Yang Xiaotao's words.

He had heard that Yang Xiaotao let several people enter the machinery factory, and it was still a formal establishment in the back kitchen.

His words are more effective than the street office.

But in his opinion, it was a sure thing, but he didn't expect that Yang Xiaotao wouldn't come.

All calculations came to nothing.

crunch
Yan Jiecheng clenched the doorframe tightly, veins popped up on his face, full of anger.

Yan Fugui heard the creaking sound and looked up, just in time to see the figure disappearing at the door, feeling dissatisfied.

If you don't care about your own affairs, what's the point of letting your father stand out?

This eldest son used to think it was good to be obedient.

But now it seems that apart from learning his own calculation skills, there is nothing else he can do.

Moreover, even if the calculation fails, one should not be proud. If the calculation fails, one should not be too proud.

This is not as good as the second child.

At this moment, Yan Fugui missed his second son. At least the money he sent back was real money.

"What to do? Let's figure it out!"

Yan Fugui was too lazy to enter the house, so he took out his fishing rod from the corner, stopped riding his bicycle, and walked out of the alley.

"Master, people will be here soon, why are you going?"

Yan Fugui stopped, thinking over and over again in his mind, then sighed and put the fishing rod back to its place.

"I'm going to make soy sauce!"

Saying that, he left the front yard gate.

Middle Court.

Mrs. Jia Zhang sat on the chair, looking at the hair in her hands, her triangular eyes dull.

Since the Chinese New Year, my headaches have gotten worse and worse, and the hair on my head has fallen out.

Especially on the top of her head, there was originally a piece missing. Fortunately, her hair was long and she could cover it up, but now it has started to fall out all around, making it difficult for her to even cover it up.

Normally, I take good care of my hair. I rarely use the comb now, for fear of catching a bunch of hair.

Thinking of what he looks like now, wouldn't he be laughed at if he walked out?

But how long can you stay at home?
Looking up at the house, Qin Huairu's house has been deserted since she married Shazhu. In the past, when Bangge was around, there were more or less people talking to her.

But now, Xiao Danghuaihua lives in her aunt's house. When we see her on weekdays, she just calls her "grandma" and runs away, not paying attention to her at all.

If her surname hadn't been Jia, she would have thought she didn't have these two children.

Even so, this gap made her feel very uncomfortable.

Especially Silhu's original promise to give her three yuan of pension money every month. This has been delayed for half a year, and she hasn't seen a penny.

She went to ask for the money, but Shazhu said she didn't have it and asked her to ask Qin Huairu for it.

But when she asked Qin Huairu for it, Qin Huairu said that she would come here every month to eat or something, and three yuan was not enough. If it weren't for the sake of her previous kindness, she would still get it.

This made her angry. She asked for money just to buy painkillers.

But now it's fine. What we said before will no longer count at this point, right?

The food was not delicious either. Every time the lunch box that Silly Zhu stole back, she got only a little oil and water, and even only a small piece of fat. Is it enough for her to eat?
Also, in addition to steamed buns, Dunton also has corn pancakes.

Even the steamed buns with noodles are not given.

This day was too uncomfortable.

However, even though she was feeling uncomfortable, she didn’t dare to say more!

Nothing else, offending Qin Huairu is equivalent to offending Shazhu and offending Aunta.

How will I eat in the future?

You know, she has a rural household registration and is not established to supply food.

Just as I was feeling sorry for myself, I heard the sound of a cock crowing in my ears.

Jia Zhang immediately leaned against the window and saw Yang Xiaotao driving in with a big rooster and pork ribs hanging on the car.

Involuntarily, my stomach growled, and my mouth began to growl, looking for the taste of meat.

Seeing this, I felt sour in my heart, and the beauty of the past emerged in my mind.

The past is still vivid in my mind.

That year, their family bought a sewing machine, and the whole alley was envious of her, praising her for marrying a capable man.

That year, Dongxu married Qin Huairu and had a child, and their Jia family blossomed.

those years.

The children are taken care of, and there is no need to cook or do any work. You can also enjoy the filial piety of your son and daughter-in-law, and you can get five yuan of pension money every month.

Coupled with the care of the elder in the courtyard, he is also a well-known figure in the courtyard.

In those days, she was no different from the old landowner woman.

At that time, their family could also eat meat.

But now...

Seeing Yang Xiaotao return home, Mrs. Jia Zhang felt heartbroken.

How long has it been since she had chicken?

When did she end up like this?
Looking at the reflection on the window glass, Mrs. Jia Zhang couldn't help but feel sad. She pressed her face against the cold glass, tears streaming down her face, mixing the ash on the glass together, leaving traces of turbidity.

"Lao Jia, Dongxu! Where are you!"

"My life is so miserable now! If you leave, no one will care about me as an old woman!"

"Old Jia, Dongxu! I have nothing now, everything is gone..."

More and more tears were streaming down his face, and his voice became shrill.

"Old Jia! I'm sorry for you. I didn't protect this home!"

"Lao Jia, Dongxu, our family..."

"We, this family..."

Suddenly, the crying on Jia Zhang's face stopped abruptly. Regardless of the mud in her mouth, she murmured softly, and then showed an excited expression.
