Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1521: Being stabbed at both sides
After passing the Weeping Flower Gate, Yang Xiaotao and others came to the yard.

Comrade Lao Jin looked at the eight houses on the left and right, as well as the vegetable garden in front. Although there was nothing in the winter, looking at the ridges in the fields, he knew that a lot of things were planted in the yard.

"This hospital is not small!"

"Well, it used to be the prince's residence. It occupies a larger area than several large courtyards."

"This middle courtyard is the main house, so it is naturally more magnificent. However, no one has taken care of it in the past few years, so it lacks the grandeur of the past and is more market-like."

Yang Xiaotao explained on the side.

"The one over there originally belonged to Uncle Chen's family. Later, when he went to Shanghai, he sold half of it and half gave it to me."

Yang Xiaotao pointed to the house to the east, and Comrade Lao Jin nodded.

He also knew about Uncle Chen, but this house was really nice.

Living here is not only convenient, but also has the atmosphere of the world, and you can also enjoy the joy of the countryside. No wonder this kid would rather live in the courtyard with others than go to the arranged apartment.

In the house, Ran Qiuye sat with Ms. Cui in the living room, and the three young girls of Dragon Boat Festival followed Zhang Qing around, laughing from time to time.

Yang Xiaotao stood aside stunned after hearing this. Even Ran Qiuye had never thought about this.

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao did not interfere with the behavior of the Shanghai automobile factory. After all, every factory has its own path.

Much better than those who rely on ancestors.

Sitting in Yang Xiaotao's original seat, Comrade Lao Jin looked at the books on the left and right shelves with some emotion.

Just because there are more roads to travel, there are more choices.

After hearing this, Ran Qiuye walked over to explain. Ms. Cui's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Since it has been taken back, I think Xiao Tao, please go and talk about it. Didn't the higher-ups allocate a house to you?"

Finally, Comrade Lao Jin asked about what happened in Sijiucheng, "You are making quite a fuss here. Do you have any questions?"

But when it comes to work, Comrade Lao Jin is obviously more interested.

"What's going on over there? Why is there a seal?"

Liema motorcycles produced by Shanghai Automobile Factory are very popular abroad. However, due to the impact of foreign epidemics, recent orders have fallen sharply.

"Also, if you have more boys, you will have to use the house for your future marriages."

I saw that Yang Xiaotao's house had been put together in three turns, and the furniture, cupboards, and cabinets were all complete.

"You have to pass it on, and pass it on properly!"

There are also TVs and electric fans that many people don’t have at home, and the old couple are happy to see them.

I didn't think anything of it before, but now that Ms. Cui said this, Yang Xiaotao was a little moved.

"Now that it's over, the machine factory is fine anyway!"

"It is said that poetry and books are passed down from generation to generation, and farming and reading are passed down from generation to generation. What the ancestors passed down is correct!"

They knew that this was all Yang Xiaotao's family fortune.

The two were sitting in the study chatting. When it came to life, Comrade Jin's retirement days were very boring. He always quarreled with Ms. Cui at home, but he couldn't talk about it. Sometimes he could only sulk and go out to relax.

Now the automobile factory has received domestic orders and is designing a three-wheeler model, which is making good progress.

This house has nothing to do with him now.

In the past, Yang Xiaotao studied for credits and system tasks.

When he arrived at home, Yang Xiaotao took him around the house and looked around.

Otherwise, no one would come if this house had been sealed for so long.

He already likes this feeling, the feeling of reading a book.

"Let's go inside first."

Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "The problem is not big, everything that needs to be dealt with has been dealt with, and everything that needs to be done has been done."

Comrade Lao Jin held his chair and sighed with emotion. Yang Xiaotao listened and nodded silently.

Yang Xiaotao led a few people inside. On the side, Wangcai led Wangwang and Hei Niu to wait. Comrade Lao Jin was curious again.

If he had to choose, he would also live here.

"Let's forget about the main house. Otherwise, when the children grow up, they won't even have a place to sleep."

"I think this main house is good. You can tell the street..."

I was thinking about getting a dog at home so that when my wife starts nagging, he would have someone to talk to.

"If you go to Shanghai, we have some, but in Sijiu City, you have to prepare in advance."

Yang Xiaotao followed Comrade Lao Jin into the study.

"Read more, read good books, and read well!"

Ms. Cui saw the seal on the door of the main room, which was still quite old, and asked.

As for Silly Zhu’s opinion, what opinion can he have?

But over the years, reading and cultivating one's sentiments have become a part of Yang Xiaotao's life.

Comrade Lao Jin glanced at the house next door and just nodded.

Comrade Lao Jin didn't ask any further questions after hearing this. Yang Xiaotao said it was okay, so it was okay.

"If you have any problems, go to Shanghai. I still have some dignity there."

Yang Xiaotao raised his head and smiled, "Okay, if something goes wrong, I will go to you!"

"You kid, why are you running away? That's called going home."

Lao Jin said displeasedly.

The loss of his youngest daughter has become his biggest regret in his life. Now that his daughter's son has been found, he wants to pay this compensation to Yang Xiaotao.

Seeing the old man's displeasure, Yang Xiaotao quickly smiled and nodded, "Yes, go home."

"By the way, grandpa, when are you going to see that Uncle Jiang?"

"I heard that they have no problem now. If you are free, I will go with you."

After hearing this, Comrade Lao Jin thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, we'll talk about this tomorrow."

Then he smiled and said, "Let's have a good chat today!"

"Okay, as long as you're happy!"

The time soon reached noon, and Yang Xiaotao was busy in the kitchen when he saw Yan Jiekuang running over from the front yard, saying that a group of people had come outside the gate, and there were three foreigners inside, saying they were looking for him!
Yang Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and hurriedly took Ran Qiuye out to greet him.

Outside the courtyard, Mosidov stood aside with a smile, watching his son wrapped up like a camel, walking and jumping around the gate. From time to time, he picked up a ball of snow in the corner and kneaded it in his hands, feeling happy in his heart. very.

Seeing that his son could get out of bed and walk again, he had let go of his attachment.

All etiquette, rules, and appearance are all bullshit.

When death comes, it's all bullshit and useless.

Only when you are alive can you obey the rules.

"Brother Tao!"

His son's cry came from the side. Mosidov looked up and saw Yang Xiaotao striding over.

At this time, Alphat had already rushed forward. The two hugged each other.

"All right?"

Yang Xiaotao patted Alfat on the shoulder and asked.

"Okay, everything is okay."

Alfat said with a smile, not forgetting to pat his arm with a satisfied smile on his face.

Yang Xiaotao could see that the child had lost a lot of weight, but he was still in good spirits.

"Mr. Mosidov."

Moshidov also came forward to see him. Yang Xiaotao quickly stretched out his hand, and the two held it tightly.

"Mr. Yang, we wanted to come yesterday, but the comrades from the machinery factory said you were not at home, so we had to come here today!"

"This is my private visit. Please forgive me for taking the liberty of coming to visit."

Mosidov said sincerely, and the butler behind him smiled at Yang Xiaotao, and then stepped forward to hand over the prepared gift.

Yang Xiaotao took the two big boxes politely. They were quite heavy. Then he smiled and said, "If you can come, we will be happy!"

"This is my wife, Ran Qiuye!"

"This is Mr. Mosidov, and this is his son Alphat!"

Mosidov knew Tang Mingyue's identity, but Alphat was a little suspicious, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Ran Qiuye stepped forward, "Hello Mr. Mosidov, welcome to your arrival."

Seeing Ran Qiuye's graceful appearance, Mosidov unconsciously compared himself with Tang Mingyue, but found that both of them had their own merits.

After they got to know each other briefly, Yang Xiaotao invited them into the courtyard.

As for the guards who came with them, they stayed outside and Yang Xiaotao didn't say much.

Everyone in the front yard watched Yang Xiaotao usher the two foreigners into the yard, and they immediately started talking about the relationship between the two parties.

There are many foreigners in Sijiu City these days, but this is the first one who can come to Hutong.

From now on, if you talk about it in the alley, it will be very honorable.

When everyone came to the room, Mosidov watched a group of people gathering together, and Yang Xiaotao hurriedly stepped forward to introduce them.

When Mosidov came in, Comrade Jin stood up.

"Grandpa and grandma, this is Mr. Mosidov, and this is his son, Albert, my little brother."

Then he introduced, "This is my grandpa and grandma."

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's introduction, Mosidov was shocked and was very respectful to the two old people.

After learning about Mosidov's background, not to mention the two old men, even Ran Qiuye, who was mentally prepared, was shocked.

Fortunately, Mosidov was kind enough to prevent the atmosphere from freezing.

"It's better to come early than to come by chance, Mr. Mosidov, just in time to taste our Chinese delicacies."

Yang Xiaotao warmly invited him, and Mosidov smiled and said, "The guests are welcome."

"Hey, that's right."

As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao asked Mosidov to sit in his seat, leaning against Mr. Jin, and then he started to drink wine.

On the other side, Alphat discovered that Zhang Qing actually knew English, so he happily communicated with him.

Zhang Qing was also very happy to have the opportunity to express himself, although most of the English he spoke was incomprehensible.
"Sister-in-law, Alfat asked, how old is Dragon Boat Festival?"

Ran Qiuye and others were watching the exchange between the two, exchanging eye contact with Ms. Cui. Suddenly they heard Zhang Qing's question and hurriedly patted the slightly reserved Duanwu beside them, "He?"

"Ok!"

"Almost four years old, what's wrong?"

Zhang Qing replied in somewhat broken English, and Alphaat's eyes widened in shock, making several people at the table very curious.

"Sister-in-law, he said, do you like boats during the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"You should like it."

Thinking that his son could play with anything, Ran Qiuye answered uncertainly, and Zhang Qing nodded in confirmation, and the two of them started giggling again.

"He said that the Dragon Boat Festival can disassemble the model at such a young age, which is amazing."

"He also said that he will definitely be a great mechanic in the future."

Ms. Cui on the side asked in a low voice, "What does a mechanic do?"

"Probably an engineer."

Ran Qiuye whispered, and Ms. Cui immediately laughed. In her eyes, engineers are very powerful.

When Duanwu became an engineer, he also inherited his father's legacy.

"This baby can talk."

"Quickly, give him a piece of braised pork ribs. This kid is thin and needs to eat more meat."

Zhang Qing listened and translated carefully, still needing to ponder some words.

However, Alfat could still feel Ms. Cui's concern, and he felt moved in his heart. He picked up the ribs that Ran Qiuye picked up and nibbled on them.

I haven't eaten less Western food during this period, but this time it seems to be more delicious than before.

Seeing that Alphat finished eating quickly, Ran Qiuye quickly picked up a few more pieces.

Mosidov on the side was very happy to see him.

Sure enough, as long as Alpha is happy, he can eat more, and eating more can make him feel better faster.

Alphat ate for a while, and then looked at Duanwu with a kind smile. Duanwu was not afraid of getting into trouble, and smiled at Alphat, but in his heart he was thinking about what toys to share with him later.

"Mr. Yang, I sincerely thank you. If it weren't for your help, I would have lost Alphat."

"Thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Mosidov thanked Yang Xiaotao, and Yang Xiaotao replied in Persian, "You are too polite. Since Alfat recognizes me as his eldest brother, he is my brother."

"We in China have an old saying, which is a proverb."

"Scream, brother is in trouble and stabbed at both sides!"

Yang Xiaotao gestured to his ribs and said, "It means that in order to help a brother, I wouldn't hesitate to stab him twice."

Mosidov didn't understand it at first, but after hearing Yang Xiaotao's explanation, tears flashed in his eyes.

He was proud that Alfat had such a friend.

"Since you are Alfat's eldest brother, according to your Chinese customs, you are my nephew, right."

Yang Xiaotao didn't pay attention to these titles and just nodded with a smile, "Yes, in terms of seniority, that's the case."

After hearing this, Mosidov smiled happily, "Alfat, from now on, Yang will be your eldest brother."

The sound was so loud that Alfat, who was chatting with Zhang Qing, was stunned for a moment. Then he nodded vigorously to Yang Xiaotao and shouted seriously, "Yes, brother!"
