Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 151 Influence
"Wangcai, go back to the nest."

Seeing Yang Xiaotao coming back, Wangcai immediately wagged his tail and begged for mercy, with a fawning look.

Yang Xiaotao patted the dog's head, knowing that there will be more jealous people in the future, and it's the right time to raise this dog.

Just keep an eye on this yard, lest someone come to steal the corn.

In that way, my hard work will not be in vain.

Wangcai lay back in his nest, looking around vigilantly.

When Yang Xiaotao returned home, he just sat down when he remembered something. He took out [-] catties of white flour from the space, which he exchanged with national food stamps, in order to deal with the current situation.

Of course, it's normal for Yang Xiaotao to do these things. Who doesn't usually buy food? The difference is that most of Yang Xiaotao's food is exchanged for credits. This kind of white flour and miscellaneous grains have been saved. It is estimated that there are still one or two hundred catties.

Taking advantage of the night, he walked out of the door and came to Uncle Chen's house.

At this time, Uncle Chen also heard about the new policy, and the old couple also asked the sub-district office, knowing that it was like this all over the country, and they felt uneasy.

Their family is in Forty-Nine City, but their children and grandchildren are all in Shanghai.

If I have nothing to do, I plan to go to Shanghai this year, but if something like this happens now, going will only increase the burden. It is better to live in these forty-nine cities, at least the food supply can still be guaranteed.

The old couple had made up their minds, and were about to write to their son about Dao Ming's situation when there was a knock on the door.

Uncle Chen opened the door with his coat on, and saw Yang Xiaotao standing at the door carrying a noodle bag.

"Uncle Chen, aunt!"

Yang Xiaotao walked into the room and put the noodle bag on the table, the old couple all looked over with surprised expressions.

"I have extra noodles at home, and I can't finish them all by myself, so I just bring them over!"

"No, your uncle and I have food, enough to eat, we don't need yours."

Aunt Chen immediately refused, and Uncle Chen on the side also reached for the noodle bag.

"Uncle and aunt, don't worry."

"I've also heard about this. It's not a month or two months, it may last for a year or two."

"Let's not be hypocritical, the days to come will be long."

When the two heard Yang Xiaotao's words, they were also in deep thought.

If it is true what Yang Xiaotao said, they really need to help each other these days.

"Okay, my wife puts things away, don't let anyone see them."

Uncle Chen was open-minded, and he ordered him to stay with Yang Xiaotao for dinner, but Yang Xiaotao didn't refuse. It just happened that he passed the assessment today, so it was time to celebrate.

Under the night, the courtyard was filled with smoke, but it was much quieter than usual.

In the backyard, the Xu family, the light bulbs were on, but the house was equally quiet.

Xu Damao was lighting a fire, while Lou Xiaoe was sitting on a chair in a daze.

Thinking of her father's instructions, her heart was heavy, and she also understood the severity of the current situation.

Their family was originally in the limelight, and now the whole country is living in poverty and simplicity. If they continue their previous life, wouldn't it poke people's eyes?
"Da Mao!"

Lou Xiaoe was talking to Xu Damao in a serious manner.

"I just received a letter from my mother."

When Xu Damao heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears. Now the family's life depends entirely on the Lou family.

"What did Mom say?"

When Xu Damao came back from the countryside in the afternoon, he also heard about the incident. His salary was cut by one-third, which made him feel distressed for a long time.

But he didn't worry about it, isn't it just a few dollars missing?Isn't it just food reduction?
My wife's family is still short of money?Is there any food for the next movie in the village?
Therefore, Xu Damao was completely confident.

"Mom said, we will live our lives behind closed doors. The Xu family is the Xu family, and the Lou family is the Lou family!"

"Don't move unless absolutely necessary."

Lou Xiao'e said softly, she understood that it was her mother who was trying to get rid of the relationship with them, for fear of hurting them.

"Well, what does this mean?"

"If it's difficult to co-author, just leave us alone!"

Xu Damao jumped up, tilted his head and pulled his mouth, his face full of ferociousness.

"What do you mean no matter what? We have hands and feet, and we are not disabled, old or weak. Can't we support ourselves?"

Lou Xiao'e also stood up, she naturally knew Xu Damao's character, she had been married for almost two years, she knew exactly what Xu Damao was thinking.

"Hmph! With my little salary, we can't be bothered every day?"

"What's wrong with Wowotou? I didn't say anything. You are a big man and you feel uncomfortable. Are you a man?"

"Is it a man? You, Lou Xiao'e, let me tell you, at least I, Xu Damao, can earn money to support my family, so don't ask this question again, or I..."

"Ouch, ouch, let go let go."

Xu Damao, who was stiff for three seconds, was bowed down by Lou Xiaoe, who twisted his ears.

"You're playing prestige with me, right? Why don't you save your strength on the bed?"

"Going to the countryside every day, the last time Huahua's incident has not passed yet, say, what did you do last night?"

Lou Xiaoe was overbearing, and Xu Damao immediately became a head shorter.

"Ezi, Ezi, listen to me..."

The home of bangs.

There was a burst of crying, and then Liu Guangfu ran out after Liu Guangtian, both of them covered their heads and pouted their buttocks as they ran out.

"Little bastard, don't come back tonight."

"Freeze to death you two idiots."

Liu Haizhong threw the feather duster out from behind, pointed at the backs of the two people who disappeared, trembling with anger.

The deaf old lady next door slowly opened the door and shook her head seeing that Liu Haizhong didn't regard the child as her son.

There was a flurry of chaos in the backyard.

Yang Xiaotao returned home after breakfast and picked up the English dictionary to review again.

Now, this English dictionary has been memorized almost, and he feels that he can memorize it in a few days, and he will definitely get a lot of credits by then.

Waking up in the morning, business as usual.

After practicing stabbing in the yard for a while, sweating all over, I went back to the house to prepare breakfast.

Two eggs scrambled with leeks and a plate of steamed buns with Erhe noodles.I made some corn tortillas for Wangcai and soaked them in vegetable soup. After eating, I checked the growth of the corn in the yard.

Xiaowei emerged from the corn leaves, and under her care day and night, the corn stalks had already found their waists.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know how the corn was growing at this time of year, but neither did the people in the surrounding courtyards.

Even Uncle Chen, who had farming experience, only planted early and grew fast.

Seeing that the corn hadn't eared yet, Yang Xiaotao knew it hadn't come yet.

Instructing Wangcai to be optimistic about the house, he carried his bag and walked to the factory.

Today, there are more tasks issued by the factory at work. This is also the requirement issued by the above. Production and construction require more steel and more machines.

After a busy morning, I can clearly feel the changes in the meals when eating. Normally, there are six or seven pieces of meat in a serving of meat dishes, but now one or two pieces is not bad.

When it was Yang Xiaotao's turn, Shazhu's shaking spoon appeared again, and there was only one piece of meat, or a diced piece of meat.

Seeing Shazhu's flustered look, Yang Xiaotao really wanted to give him a fist.

After eating, everyone rested for a while and continued to work.

It may be that there is less oil and water to eat at noon, and some people can't stand it in the middle of the afternoon, slowing down the pace of work, and production efficiency begins to decline.

After get off work, Yang Xiaotao felt that the workers around him had lost their usual enthusiasm, so he didn't say much. Now that the assessment has been suspended and the benefits have been cancelled, everyone's thoughts are naturally not on technology.

Say hello after work and go back home.

Yang Xiaotao also enjoyed leisure, went home early, read a book and took care of the yard.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw Yan Fugui, the third master, coming from the entrance of the alley, carrying a bag of flour in his hand. It seemed that he hadn't bought any food.

Yang Xiaotao didn't ask any questions, and walked into the courtyard.

Yan Fugui behind him took a look and sighed helplessly.

Just now when he got home from get off work, he went to the grain store, trying to use up his share for this month.

But when I arrived at the grain store, I found out that this month's grain had been distributed, which was something I had never done before.

After some inquiries, I found out that the grain store is not open around the clock, only three days at the beginning of the month and three days in the middle of the month. After this time, I can only wait for the next time.

Moreover, the food they receive each time is not necessarily the full amount, and they can only receive [-]% to [-]%.

The rest, if you don't receive it, it will be patriotic food.

Yan Fugui only felt uncomfortable when he found out.

For a person like him who likes to calculate everything, in the face of the general situation of the country, no matter how he calculates, he will not conjure up food out of thin air.

Those who can calculate are still the people in the courtyard.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's back gradually disappearing, and thinking of the corn planted in the yard recently, Yan Fugui had a strange feeling, as if this guy would know the future, otherwise why would he not grow vegetables and grow corn?

Back home, I told my third mother about this idea, but it made the third mother panic, "I can't, old man, don't talk nonsense."

Even behind closed doors, Yan Fugui felt that this matter was evil, but now he believes in the old horse's way.

"However, this Yang Xiaotao is really lucky."

"Grow vegetables when there is food, and grow sticks when there is no food. Why do you think this is so well arranged?"

The third mother finally said it, and she agreed with the third master's conjecture in her heart.

"It's time to eat, wash your hands quickly, the children are waiting!"

Seeing that the old god Yan Fugui was there, the three mothers hurriedly urged, Yan Fugui came to the table, looked at the gray pot of corn bread in the middle, and a plate of radish heads next to it. The only dish on the table was soy cabbage. Meat.

Seeing the plummeting food, Yan Fugui threw down his chopsticks, "I'll go and see!"

"Yang Xiaotao is a bit evil!"

"It might be possible to find out some ways, so as not to suffer in the future."

Yan Fugui ignored his family's gaze when he got up, and ran to the middle courtyard in a hurry, and then saw Yang Xiaotao put a bowl of corn cakes into the kennel, and vaguely saw a chicken bone, which was bitten by Wangcai It creaked.

For a moment, Yan Fugui felt that he was not as good as a dog.

When he came to the hospital, Wangcai found Yan Fugui.

For this guy who wanted to eat him, Wangcai naturally called out twice.

As soon as Yan Fugui approached, he heard a dog barking, and then stopped, not daring to go forward.

Yang Xiaotao heard the cry, came out of the house, and saw Yan Fugui's figure.

Turn on the lights in the yard, "Third Master, what's the matter?"

Yang Xiaotao stood under the light and yelled from afar.

Yan Fugui grinned, "It's okay, why don't you come and see the corn you planted!"

Yang Xiaotao frowned, "What's so interesting? Aren't they all the same?"

"Third Master, I advise you not to think about my corn, we know what's going on now."

"This bit of corn can save lives at a critical moment. As for you, you can save yourself that calculation."

Yang Xiaotao was straightforward and merciless, probably because he knew who the person in front of him was.

Don't look at the smiling face now, the calculation behind it doesn't care about the previous friendship.

Just like before, the two had "cooperated" before, but when something happened to Yang Xiaotao, he was the only one who stepped on it, and it was a heavy one.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Yan Fugui was neither blushing nor out of breath, not angry, and still smiling.

"Xiaotao, you are the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman."

"We scholars are most particular about integrity, starving to death would not give up food, rather than bending!"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Yan Fugui was about to drop his book bag again, Yang Xiaotao hurriedly called to stop.

"If you have anything to say, hurry up, I'm eating and resting here."

"This, this, it's nothing, that's it."

"That's right, the corn will be ready in the future, so let's share it with the third master."

"Third Master's family really can't get rid of the pot. Don't worry, I will give you water and weeding when you come back from get off work. Just give me fifty catties."

"Oh, don't go."

"Hey, go home and rest."

Yang Xiaotao didn't want to hear any more, turned around and entered the room, and closed the door with a bang.

Yan Fugui's face was dull, and it took a long time before he sighed and walked back home.
