Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1832 Living and working in peace and contentment
Yangjiazhuang.

After eating at home, Yang Xiaotao took his lunch box to the school and met his grandfather to chat about things in the factory for a while.

Mr. Yang likes Yang Xiaotao from the bottom of his heart.

It’s a pity that his father Yang Laogen passed away early.

The two talked about the school, especially the children of the school who entered the machinery factory and were always concerned about by the villagers.

Yang Xiaotao told them some of the things that happened in the Internal Audit Department last time. When Master Yang knew how promising these kids were, he was so happy that his teeth were bared.

Now they felt relieved.

You don’t have to worry about being at a disadvantage in the city because of your young age.

After talking about the children in school, Grandpa Yang started talking about the greenhouse in the village.

It's almost August, and they are going to plant Artemisia selengensis in the greenhouse again this year. All the arrangements were made when Gao Yufeng left last time, but Yang Xiaotao was not there.

Now that he talks about it, Yang Xiaotao has a general understanding of it.

As for Gao Yufeng, he is probably in the northwest now.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao remembered the internal audit situation.

Starting next week, they will go to the pharmaceutical factory for an audit.

By then, I don’t know what will be found out during the trial.

By the way, there’s also the matter over at the machine repair factory. I don’t know whether Liu Xiangdong and his team have made any progress.

And aircraft engines.
Yang Xiaotao felt that there were so many things surrounding him.

Sitting on the bench, Yang Xiaotao smoked and swatted mosquitoes with his grandfather, then told him everything he had done recently.

The grandfather was like a listener, puffing on his cigarette and listening to the achievements of the younger generation.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the grandfather nodded, then asked how the thrusting practice was going, saying that he couldn't fall behind and had to lay a good foundation for Duanwu, and then went to school to rest.

Yang Xiaotao also stood up, put the bench back into the house, did some stretching exercises, and walked home.

I chatted with some acquaintances in the village for a while, and when I got back home, the stars in the sky were like a galaxy, clustered around the moon and embellishing the sky.

When she returned home, the children had already gone to bed and Ran Qiuye was mending clothes for the children under the lamp.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao coming back, she put down her needlework, tidied up, lay down on the kang, and started talking about recent events.

Seeing each other every now and then always gave them endless topics to talk about.

Work, school, village, factory, courtyard.
They said whatever they thought of without holding back, and they would smile when they talked about happy things.

When talking about bad things, I will sigh.

So, as the night deepened, the two of them gradually came to an end of their conversation and turned to the most common topic they talked about after becoming parents: their own children.

First, Miaomiao's academic performance was beyond Yang Xiaotao's expectations.

Although she has been in school for less than half a year, she has a solid foundation and learns quickly. Now the first-grade knowledge is no longer difficult for her, and she has even mastered a lot of second-grade knowledge. The teachers at school praise her all the time, and even the old principal, when he heard about it, praised Miaomiao for her intelligence.

Even Ran Qiuye wanted Miaomiao to skip a grade and go directly to the third grade after the New Year.

However, Yang Xiaotao thought about it and decided not to rush. It is not uncommon for someone to hurt others by forcing things to grow.

Of course, more private tutoring can be provided, but talent should not be wasted.

Then came Duanwu. This kid was a naughty boy. He was stronger than his peers and played around all day long. There was nothing he dared not touch.

Fortunately, this kid knows his limits and is just playing around.

He still remembered what his family told him about what he could and could not do, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

Then there are the two little girls.

Ran Qiuye wants these two guys to skip a grade, because in the eyes of a mother like Ran Qiuye, they are both smart.

Especially the youngest one, his quirky nature seems to come from his bones, and he is much better at reading people’s expressions than his older brothers and sisters.

It’s the third sister, Yueyue. She looks honest, but she has a kind heart.

Otherwise, would she be held in her father's arms every time?
This little guy is very smart.

As Ran Qiuye was talking, she found that the room was a bit hot and she couldn't wear too many clothes.

Outside the house, the croaking of frogs came one after another, coordinated with the sounds gradually coming from the house, as if playing a summer night march.

Qinjia Village, at the east end of the village, is the home of Qin Laoer.

At this moment, the room was pitch black and no one could be seen clearly.

Outside the house, insects were chirping, with different frequencies and distances.

Qin Huairu was lying in the room, looking at the ceiling.

This was where she lived before she got married. Later, she left Qinjia Village and married into the city, and this house became the residence of her nephews and nieces.

And now, in order to curry favor with her, her eldest brother and his wife cleaned up the house so that she could have a place to live when she returned.

The reason why he tried to curry favor with her was because of the medicinal wine in his hand.

Some time ago, someone solved the fertility problem, and this medicinal wine has some amplifying effect for men.

As for how much the increase is, it depends on personal opinion.

Anyway, many people say that this medicinal wine is good.

For this reason, many people from far away places came to the Qin family and asked for medicinal wine.

Of course, these people did not come empty-handed.

You must bring local specialties. If you ask for too much, the wine and medicine in the medicinal wine have to be purchased with money, so you naturally have to pay for it.

So during this period of time, Qin Huairu basically came down every two or three days.

It's just like collecting rent, and the Qin family naturally benefits from it.

At this moment, Qin Huairu, lying on the bed, couldn't fall asleep, so she looked up at the dark beams. There was excitement, worry, and past memories in her mind.

She has been sleeping in this room since she was a child. Now lying here again, the past scenes emerged in her mind. She was young at that time, and there were always many thoughts lingering in her ears.

At that time, I fantasized about my life when I grew up and fantasized about becoming the object of envy in the eyes of others one day.

And now, many years later, she was lying here again, in the same posture, looking at the same place.

The journey of these years is like a picture scroll, emerging before my eyes one by one.

There is joy, happiness, joy and satisfaction.

Naturally, there is also anger, resentment, bitterness, and regret.

However, everything has become the past. Even if the past scenes are shattered and life has left her with scars all over her body, she has to grit her teeth and move on.

And now, her hard days are finally over.

With keen intuition and smart brain, he finally mastered a 'craft'.

With this skill, she earned food, money, and even dignity.

In the past, her elder brother and sister-in-law would look down on her when they came home, but now they are eager to curry favor with her.

The reason was because of the secret recipe of the medicinal wine in her hand. But she was not stupid, she wanted to pass on this recipe, and it would be best if she had a son to pass it on.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu's image of Bang Geng appeared in front of her eyes and she sighed in her heart.

This poor child had many misfortunes and never enjoyed any happiness in her childhood. I hope if the underworld knows about this, she will be blessed with another son to pass on this craft.

By then, I'll be like Sha Zhu, making a living by my cooking skills.

Suddenly, a "hmm" sound came from my ear, and suddenly it became rapid.

Qin Huairu turned her head and listened, then felt contempt in her heart.

You are so impatient, yet you say you don’t know how to use it.

And that woman, her voice was so loud.

Shameless town!
Qin Huairu despised him in her heart, thinking about how the other party came to her and shamelessly asked for medicinal wine, and even said that he wanted to expand the Qin family.

It sounds nice, but it's not for your own benefit.

Hearing the sound from the other side, Qin Huairu couldn't help but wonder, is this medicinal wine so effective?

Adding some water won't affect the effect.

In that case, wouldn't she be able to sell it to more people?
Once this idea came out, it was unstoppable.

Selling a bottle of medicinal wine to two people felt like a smooth road beckoning her.

At this time, the sound outside the house drowned out the chirping of insects in the yard, causing Qin Huairu to unconsciously keep up with the rhythm and her breathing became a little rapid.

But the next second, before she could listen carefully, the voice from the other side stopped abruptly, as if it was suddenly interrupted. Qin Huairu felt stuck and even more uncomfortable.

snort!
Qin Huairu lay on the bed and made dissatisfied sounds.

This feeling of being neither up nor down made her feel indescribably uncomfortable.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of Sha Zhu, that guy, who was the same kind of person as her eldest brother.

Seems useless.

But compared to Xu Damao, it's still okay.

That guy is not even good looking.

Suddenly, Qin Huairu missed Sha Zhu a little.

Ah… ugh…

In the dark night, Sha Zhu sat on the kang, patting Shen Cuihua's back continuously.

Looking at his wife retching non-stop, a trace of worry flashed across Sha Zhu's face.

"Cuihua, did you eat something bad?"

"This happened several times tonight."

Sha Zhu was thinking about the half wild rabbit he brought back from the captain today, and how he handled it very cleanly.

Did you have a stomach upset?

When we were in the Siheyuan before, something happened. It seemed that the Jia family ate something unclean, which caused the flu, and in the end, the entire courtyard was almost affected.

"How about I take you to see Chang Hua?"

Shen Cuihua shook her head after hearing this. Chang Hua was the village doctor. Although he didn't have many special skills, he still knew how to take a pulse.

I will definitely tell Shazhu the truth when the time comes.

Instead of letting others tell Shazhu, it’s better for her to say it.

At least you can control the time well, even if the baby is born more than a month prematurely, it can be resolved.

Counting the time, it has been a month since the Dragon Boat Festival.

Besides, the beginning of the month is the time when women have their period. I believe that with these reasons, Sha Zhu will believe it.

"No, it's okay!"

Shen Cuihua raised her head and looked at Sha Zhu's concerned look, and couldn't help feeling guilty.

"I should know what's going on!"

As she spoke, Shen Cuihua smiled and covered her belly with her hands.

Seeing this, Sha Zhu looked suspicious and asked, "What's going on?"

"Stupid, of course I have it!"

"Ah? Got it?"

"Yes, that feeling. It's the same as when I gave birth to Xiaohua!"

In an instant, Sha Zhu jumped off the kang, his face showing excitement, excitement, and a hint of disbelief.

He understood his own abilities, at least he had seen them in Qin Jingru's case.

But it just didn't work for Qin Huairu. I thought it was because Qin Jingru had a special body and was easy to conceive.

But now it seems that it is not that Qin Jingru is easy to get pregnant, but that it is not easy for Qin Huairu to give birth to a child for him!

"Really? Really?"

Sha Zhu walked back and forth under the kang twice and finally came to Shen Cuihua.

"Nonsense, it's either true or false!"

"My period should have come last week as usual, but it hasn't come yet. I thought it was delayed until now."

"During this period, it's so frequent. Have you paid special attention?"

"I never thought that even though you are one man short, you are actually quite capable..."

Shen Cuihua said this shyly, and Sha Zhu laughed when he heard it.

During this period, he came every few days. Sometimes he took the initiative, but more often it was Shen Cuihua who asked for it.

Now it’s okay, I’m really pregnant.

He is so stupid, he is really going to be a father this time!

No, he had to tell the good news to his uncle, aunt, and...
Suddenly, Sha Zhu thought of Qin Huairu, and the happy look on his face immediately disappeared.

The moment I lowered my head, I felt like something was missing, but also something was more.

If I have children here in the future, does that mean I have settled down here?

Are we going to be tied to this land?

Sha Zhu's heart was shaken for a moment.

His roots are in Beijing, in the courtyard houses.

However, he had nothing left in the courtyard.

Looking back at the woman who was holding her belly on the kang, Sha Zhu felt hot in his heart again.

If you can't go back, then don't go back. I have a wife and children here and I live a comfortable life.
