Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 170 Liu Guangqi's Determination
Back home, continue to read and write.

Now, calligraphy practice has been put on the agenda.

Yang Xiaotao has been working hard to improve his ability since he gained a lot of credits in thrusting and English.

Calligraphy naturally became the primary goal.

He remembered Yan Fugui's disgusting couplet during the Chinese New Year, he practiced it and wrote it himself.

The third master is mad.

In the backyard, the crying continued.

Liu Haizhong was holding a feather duster, and Liu Guangtian and his brothers beside him were trembling with each other clutching their arms.

Why should the two of them suffer because of the boss?

Looking at the aggressive bangs beside them, apart from resentment, there was more fear in the eyes of the two of them.

They still don't have the ability to support themselves, or they don't have the courage to work hard on their own.

What's more, in this situation, going anywhere is not as good as being at home.

Even if you are beaten and suffer, you can still have a full stomach.

It's just that the seeds of this hatred are buried in the soil, and one day they will take root and germinate, breaking through the dark soil.

Liu Guangqi was lying sideways on the bed, neither saying nor listening to anything.

Liu Haizhong banged on the edge of the bed, the anger on his face didn't decrease at all.

"Little brat, look who you found? Huh?"

"Shanxi is so far away, what's so good about it? There are so many girls in the whole Forty-Nine City, why don't you look down on one?"

Liu Haizhong was impatient, in fact, in his heart, he should be the one to make decisions about his son's marriage.

And the deeper idea is to grow a powerful in-law like the Xu family.

However, Liu Haizhong is more inclined to the children of cadres, which is also to prepare for future official careers.

But who would have thought, when I heard Xiao San say this as soon as I got off work, I immediately became angry.

I ran back quickly, and after careful confirmation, I couldn't hold back my anger. I picked up the feather duster and swung it around twice, but Liu Guangqi didn't hide at all. It can be placed on the remaining two sons.

Now, half out of breath, he started talking again.

The second aunt next to him also took the opportunity to say, "Guang Qi, your father is a seventh-level blacksmith, and our family does not eat less. We can get by, and we can be considered above-average in this Forty-Nine City."

"How many girls can't find a family like ours, why don't you cherish it?"

The second aunt's face was solemn, and she spoke the truth.

It's a pity that Liu Guangqi didn't pay attention to them at all, and continued to lie halfway, as if it didn't matter who came.

"You, you little beast, get up, get up for me."

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong got angry again and wanted to pull Liu Guangqi's hair.

The second aunt felt sorry for her son and hurriedly stopped her. The two brothers next to her were trembling again.

"Get out of the way, I'll kill this little bastard."

Liu Haizhong pushed the second aunt away and was about to step forward.

Liu Guangqi sat up, "Let's fight, let's fight."

"One day you don't hit us, we will feel bad, just go ahead and show your ridiculous official authority, who will care about you except playing around at home?"

"That's all it takes. The last time Yang Xiaotao came to the house, you didn't dare to fart. With this level, you will never even think about being an official."

Liu Guangqi was also willing to go all out, cutting the skin of Liu Haizhong with a sentence like a knife, and sprinkled a handful of salt at the end.

"you you……"

Liu Haizhong became dizzy with anger, threw a chicken feather marble on Liu Guangqi, turned around and left.

"If you dare to continue, don't enter this house!"

砰

After closing the door, Liu Haizhong walked into the room, picked up the water jug ​​and drank it twice, before hitting the ground hard.

"Bastard, brute!"

There was a lot of movement in the backyard, and many people were watching at the door.

Among them, Xu Damao was the happiest, holding a radish in his hand, sucking hot breath while nibbling on it, with smiles in his eyes.

Don't think that he and Liu Haizhong were troubled brothers before, but after watching a movie, coupled with the usual small favors, now his reputation in the yard has also increased.

On the contrary, Liu Haizhong's team leader has never been found.

in a hurry?

It must be urgent.

For a person like Liu Haizhong who studies the way of being an official all day long and cares about state affairs, if he doesn't have any power at hand, his hands will be itchy.

Even swinging a sledgehammer is useless.

But now, the only family that can show off its prestige also has an unfilial son.

Gee
Xu Damao's gloating expression is self-evident.

Looking at the mess in Liu Haizhong's family, the people around him didn't come forward to persuade him, they all knew Liu Haizhong's temper, and even held a show if he couldn't say it.

Soon, the people in the backyard left and went back to their homes.

But what happened in Liu Haizhong's family spread throughout the alley.

After Yang Xiaotao heard about this, he thought in his heart that Liu Guangqi would not be far from leaving the stage.

Since Liu Guangqi had a fight with Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangqi was seen less and less in this courtyard.

I don't know what she was doing, even if Xu Damao came across and asked, I didn't know what was going on.

All I know is that Liu Guangqi's expression has become more and more urgent recently, and he always walks with a look of worry.

It was more than a month, and the time came to November.

The work in the factory became less and less, and Yang Xiaotao didn't know how much he was earning. Anyway, the food he ate was getting worse.

Yang Xiaotao can also understand that to feed such a large factory, with tens of thousands of workers, there is a huge amount of supplies every day.

Compared with the current rural areas, at least they can still eat and be full.

In fact, the factory also wants to have some sideline business, just like the slaughterhouse, raising some poultry in the spare space, which can also improve the workers' food.

Of course, this is what Yang Xiaotao heard from Wang Dashan, what exactly he raised and how much he raised.

Don't know, don't think about it, don't spread it.

More than half a year has passed, and people's minds have changed. It is a characteristic of the times to find more ways out under the current system, not to mention the family's stomach problems.

It's a pity that the rolling mill, as a national key unit, will not lose food, but it has no other outlets.

Workers hold iron rice bowls, but they can only eat what is in the bowl.

Yang Xiaotao has no shortage of food, but under the circumstances, he can only eat alone behind closed doors.

On the contrary, the envious eyes of the beasts in the yard were reduced by three points.

As for the Jia family, you don't need to look at the current life to know what it is like.

Qin Huairu's due date is approaching, but she still has to eat and wash clothes.

As for Jia Dongxu, who has no work pressure, no need to upgrade the rank of fitter, and just hangs out in the yard after get off work, Jia Zhang also only cares about sticks, and doesn't worry about anything else.

Fortunately, with the help of Yi Zhonghai, a "good-hearted" master, the Jia family will not run out of food.

As night fell, Yang Xiaotao was cleaning the kennel in the yard. Wangcai's kennel was a little thin in the cold weather, so Yang Xiaotao found some wood, and some waste newspapers were sandwiched in the wood to keep it warm.

At this time, I saw a person walking in the middle courtyard, and smelled a smell of alcohol from a long distance away.

After taking a look, it turned out to be Liu Guangqi, and then ignored him.

Liu Guangqi's face turned red, his head flickered, and his steps staggered even more.

As soon as I walked to the moon gate, I couldn't help but vomited out while leaning on the wall.

vomit~~~
Uh~~~
There was nothing in his stomach to vomit, it was full of sour water, but Liu Guangqi didn't feel anything.

In my mind, there are scenes of breaking up.

The girl told him that they were not suitable.

No marriage can be happy without the blessing of the family.

The girl's euphemistic and sad decision made him feel like a knife, but he couldn't speak.

Bowing his head to wipe off the saliva left on his mouth, Liu Guangqi looked up at home.

The lights in the room were turned off, and a halo of light was emitted through the glass windows, but it made him feel flustered and cold all over.

The girl's eyes once again appeared in my mind, so pure and so gentle.

That was something he had never felt in this home.

"No, Xiaofang, you are wrong."

Liu Guangqi suddenly laughed.

"If you don't have a family, do you still need the blessing of your family?"

At this moment, Liu Guangqi smiled evilly, then straightened his chest and walked home.

At this moment, he made up his mind.

In the backyard there was another roar of a middle-aged man, and there were faint cries of Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu brothers.

The number of times is too many, and everyone has long accepted the strangeness. They all regard it as the joy of life. Sometimes they can't hear it, and they still feel that there is something missing.

In the middle courtyard, Yang Xiaotao packed up the kennel and went back to the house. The sound in the backyard has already weakened a lot.

I thought I could read the book quietly tonight, but I didn't expect that as soon as I picked up the book, there was a woman's screaming from Jia's house in the middle courtyard.

Yang Xiaotao put down the book, listened for a while, and understood.

If there are no accidents, Qin Huairu will give birth tonight.

"I don't know if it's Xiaodang."

Yang Xiaotao thought to himself, the Jia family is already busy.

When eating in the evening, Qin Huairu managed to eat two pieces of meat, and was scolded by Mrs. Jia Zhang again. She never expected to feel a pain in her stomach before she finished eating.

Then I felt that the amniotic fluid had broken, and my lower body was even wet.

Qin Huairu, who had experienced it once, immediately understood that the child was about to come out.

Jiazhang hurriedly ran out with a stick in her arms to ask someone for help, and she went to find a midwife by the way.

Jia Dongxu packed his things and prepared to give birth.

Women who have given birth once have experience, and usually go to the midwife first, and then go to the hospital if it doesn't work.

Of course, Jia Dongxu didn't think about it that much now. As for Jia Zhang, he felt sorry for the cost of going to the hospital. If he could stay at home, he shouldn't spend that money.

The Jia family was in a turmoil. For such a big matter as having a baby, the people in the yard could help.

The first mother went to the house to accompany Qin Huairu, while Jia Zhang and the third mother directed the boiling water outside.

Silly Zhu, Da Ye and Jia Dongxu got together, and the three of them had different colors on their faces.

Jia Dongxu was completely immersed in the joy of becoming a father for the second time, and all the previous difficulties were left behind.

If there is another son, his spine will be straighter when he grows up.

Jia Dongxu thought about the few people in the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao and the others didn't even have a daughter-in-law, even Xu Damao, who was married for so long, had no children, Jia Dongxu wanted to have two children, and he was the only one among the young people in this courtyard.

There was more loneliness in Shazhu's smile.

Sister Xiaoqin has another baby, but unfortunately, it's not his.

When this idea appeared in his mind, Sha Zhu was also taken aback.

He quickly looked at Jia Dongxu and the uncle, and found that neither of them noticed him, so he was relieved.

But looking straight at the Jia family, listening to the shouts in his ears, he felt a little anxious.

Yi Zhonghai next to him was full of envy.

There is no child in his family, as if he has no roots. Seeing the Jia family come out one after another, he is envious from the bottom of his heart.

Although he recognized Jia Dongxu as his apprentice according to the plan, and the other party also has plans to retire, but looking at the upcoming little life, he still yearns for it.

He raised his head and glanced at the cheerful Jia Dongxu, then glanced at Xu Damao at the Moon Gate, frowning.

This kid has been married for so long and has never had a child.

Could it be that Lou Xiao'e can't do it?
When he looked at Jia's house again, Yi Zhonghai suddenly had an idea that even scared him, he glanced at Jia Dongxu without a trace, and then buried it in his heart.

　I have something to do today. I have two chapters to go.
