Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1876: per Person
Wang Yuhang introduced them, and Yang Xiaotao also reached out to shake hands with him, saying casually, "Hello, my name is Yang Xiaotao, and I live in the courtyard in the next alley."

At this time, Tian Jing came forward. She really had a bookish air about her. When she saw Yang Xiaotao, she smiled gently and said, "Hello. I saw something dangerous just now, so I couldn't help but say a few words."

"Isn't it frightening the child?"

Tian Jing looked at Yang Xiaotao with a calm expression on her face, but when she looked down at her two daughters, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes. When she raised her head again, her gaze became calm again.

"No one of these guys is afraid of me on weekdays, so it's nothing."

When Yang Xiaotao saw Duanwu making eye contact with the other kids around him, he knew in his heart that this little guy was not afraid of trouble.

"These are your children, twin girls. How wonderful."

Yang Xiaotao looked at his two daughters. They seemed to have found a supporter and stopped crying. They just looked at the woman with some fear.

"These are the two little ones."

Yang Xiaotao waved to Miaomiao and Duanwu, "Come here, both of you."

The brother and sister walked up to him with their heads down, "Dad. Dad!"

One of them called out, Yang Xiaotao nodded, and then said to the two of them, "This is my eldest daughter and son."

"Meet Uncle Wang and Aunt Tian."

"Uncle Wang, Aunt Tian!"

The two children shouted in a low voice, and the two smiled. Wang Yuhang reached out and touched Duanwu's head, "Don't play this kind of game with your sister in the future. It's not good if she gets hit."

Duanwu felt his father's gaze behind him and nodded repeatedly, "I understand, Uncle Wang, we won't dare to do it again."

"Okay, okay, let's go back and eat."

Tian Jing said with a smile, not intending to pursue the matter. Instead, she envied him, "Your family is really enviable."

There was a strong sense of envy in the words, which made Yang Xiaotao feel surprised. Could it be that these two people didn't have children?
Cough
Seeing Tian Jing like this, Wang Yuhang coughed twice. Tian Jing withdrew his gaze and looked at Yang Xiaotao with an apologetic smile.

"Having too many children is a problem. When it comes to education, if you relax a little, things will go wrong. If you don't pay attention, something weird will happen."

Yang Xiaotao showed the distress of being a father, and then asked, "Are you two planning to move in?"

"No one has lived in this house for a long time. Why did you choose this place?"

Yang Xiaotao looked around and found that no one lived here when he passed by here before.

I heard from others that someone used to live in this house, but no one came here and it became abandoned over time.

I just didn't expect that there would be someone here now.

"This, this situation is a bit special."

Wang Yuhang was a little embarrassed when he spoke. At this time, an old woman came out of the room, glanced at Yang Xiaotao, and patted him twice with her hands. "What's so special about that? Just tell the truth. Are you afraid of seeing people?"

"mom!"

Tian Jing quickly stepped forward and took the old woman's arm, shaking it to stop her from speaking.

Obviously, there is a hidden reason for coming here.

Wang Yuhang glanced at the old woman, then smiled awkwardly, "There are a lot of things to do in college, and it's not suitable for us to live in the school, so we had to move out."

"This is where the neighborhood office helped us find our place. We will be stationed permanently here from now on."

"It's quiet here, so it's good to repair it."

Wang Yuhang smiled optimistically.

The old woman behind him sighed helplessly. Yang Xiaotao looked over and saw that although the old woman was helping to clean up in the yard, she was wearing clean clothes and wiping the dirt with a handkerchief. It was obvious that she was not from a wealthy family.

This family must have a complicated background.

However, it is not very popular at the moment.

It is also clear why the street office arranged such a house for them.

When Tian Jing saw Yang Xiaotao looking at her, she immediately smiled sweetly, "Mr. Yang, children need to be well educated from a young age. They don't know the limits yet and don't know the severity of the situation. They can easily get hurt."

"Thank you, Teacher Tian. I will teach them well later."

Afterwards, Yang Xiaotao had a brief conversation with the two and learned about their situation.

Both of them are teachers at a university. The man, Wang Yuhang, teaches history, and the woman, Tian Jing, teaches literature. As for the old woman, she is Tian Jing's mother and Wang Yuhang's mother-in-law.

The reason why the two were forced to move here was also related to the atmosphere of the school.

However, since they had just met each other, they didn't talk much and just exchanged general information.

After all, we will live in this area in the future, so communication with each other is inevitable.

After getting to know each other, Yang Xiaotao said, "It's getting late, I won't bother you anymore. Come to our yard when you have time. Let me know if you need help. We are all neighbors in the future, so we should help each other."

Wang Yuhang nodded politely, "Yes, we will be neighbors from now on, we have plenty of time."

"The house is not ready yet. When it is, I will invite Comrade Yang to come for tea."

"Okay, I'll bring my family to visit then."

After saying that, Yang Xiaotao led the child away. Behind them, he could hear Wang Yuhang explaining to the old woman. He could vaguely hear words like "I'll get involved" and "Don't talk nonsense". This made Yang Xiaotao even more certain about the family's background.

However, this kind of thing happens a lot nowadays.

Although Yang Xiaotao spoke politely, one should still be cautious when interacting with him.

Avoid trouble that can be avoided.

If it cannot be avoided, then solve it.

When she got home, Ran Qiuye was cooking at the stove. She saw the four siblings who had returned, all with their heads down. Even the cleverest Rongrong stood aside and didn't dare to say a word, knowing that these four guys must have caused trouble.

Yang Xiaotao happened to walk in, Ran Qiuye asked, and Yang Xiaotao told her what happened.

"Is the other party a university teacher?"

Ran Qiuye was quite surprised. It was not easy to be a teacher in a university these days.

If you don't have some real skills, you really can't get in.

"Well, one studies history, and the other teaches literature."

Ran Qiuye immediately showed an excited expression. To put it bluntly, her teaching of Chinese was also somewhat related to literature. In this courtyard, only Yang Xiaotao had a high cultural level.

As for Cuiping, Yuhua and others who I usually hang out with, I feel awkward talking about literature with them.

But her communication with Yang Xiaotao would often end up in bed, so there was little literary exchange.

Now, there is a university professor teaching literature in the next alley, and she feels she can go there more often.

Seeing Ran Qiuye's expression, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but remind her, "Qiuye, this matter is not that simple."

Ran Qiuye was puzzled, but Yang Xiaotao waved to the children standing beside him and said, "You guys go out and play, remember not to leave the yard."

Seeing that he was not criticized, Si Xiao immediately ran out. At this time, Yang Xiaotao told his guess. Ran Qiuye was shocked, then fell silent, and then nodded.

At present, it is better to have less trouble than more.

Yang Xiaotao said no more.

Although his butterfly wings flapped very quickly, there were some things that required awe when they happened, otherwise he would fall flat on his face.

After dinner in the evening, Yang Xiaotao went to the backyard to ask Yu Zecheng for news.

When Yu Zecheng heard that there were new residents coming to the next alley, he didn't say anything, but he already had an answer in his mind: he would investigate the matter.

He then said that people from Shanghai were already rushing here, and the inspection team had also boarded a plane and was expected to arrive tomorrow. By then, the joint investigation would be formally formed and the action would follow.

Yang Xiaotao had been waiting for this for a long time.

He doesn't want to be in a passive state all the time, as that would put too much mental pressure on him.

After finishing his business, Yang Xiaotao returned home.

Nothing happened overnight, and Yang Xiaotao went to work as usual the next day.

As for Ran Qiuye, he sent the child to the Ran family and then took Miaomiao to the village.

Machinery shop, office.

Yang Xiaotao arrived early and spent half an hour signing and resolving the remaining issues from yesterday.

Then, before Lou Xiao'e could report today's plan, the phone on the desk rang.

"Hello, Mr. Wang!"

After picking up the phone and hearing the other party introduce himself, Yang Xiaotao became alert.

Yesterday, Mr. Chen told them through his secretary that they should be careful with the money the machinery factory earned this time.

Be careful about what?
Just be careful with people like Mr. Wang.

"Okay, what's good about that? I can't eat or sleep well right now, and even my mood is not very good."

Hearing Mr. Wang's familiar opening remarks, Yang Xiaotao leaned back in his chair with his head tilted, his vigilance heightened again.

According to his guess, the next step is the key.

Be on full alert.

"Why aren't you talking, kid?"

Mr. Wang was still waiting for Yang Xiaotao to ask him why he was in a bad mood, but there was no sound on the phone, so he had to ask himself.

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes. He was already unwilling to cooperate, but you were asking yourself questions. So the next step was to ask and answer your own questions.

Sure enough, Elder Wang's voice came again, "You don't ask, but you definitely think so in your heart."

"I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm worried about this rocket. Your father-in-law led the team to conduct experiments. They had to sleep in the open air all the way and had no money to eat."

Mr. Wang got straight to the point. Although it was a bit euphemistic, the meaning he expressed was: I have no money, so I'm asking you for some.

"Commander, just say you have no money. That's all you need to do."

Yang Xiaotao couldn't listen any more. These few words reminded Ran's father several times. If he continued to talk, Ran's father would probably come to make the phone call.

"Hey, kid, you're right."

"No, Chief, you told me you don't have money, and I can't do anything about it."

Yang Xiaotao immediately gave up the way out, "Besides, I've already helped you with the corn thresher."

After hearing this, Mr. Wang laughed to cover it up, and then said, "What's the solution? You have plenty of solutions."

"You mean the armored vehicle? Then you should ask Mr. Chen. Our machinery factory is just a processing manufacturer. We don't care about other things."

"Do you think I didn't ask for it? The chief said that half of it should be used for reconstruction in the disaster area, and the rest should be used for the projects being developed in China."

Mr. Wang helplessly replied, "There is so much money in the country, and the amount we get is only 100,000 yuan. This is a one-time payment, and we won't get it later."

"What do you mean?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't want to beat around the bush with Mr. Wang as he had a lot of things to do.

"What I mean is, of course, I will cooperate with you."

"Cooperation? Cooperation for what? Mr. Wang, I won't do anything that violates the law or the Machinery Factory's rules."

Mr. Wang snorted unhappily, "Am I that kind of person?"

"Yes!"

"Can you please speak properly, kid?"

Yang Xiaotao remained silent, and Old Wang stopped beating around the bush and said, "I heard from Director Han that you have a project that you want his help with?"

Yang Xiaotao thought for a while and realized that Director Han of their Seventh Ministry of Machine Building was the Han Sanfeng who studied computers.

He had asked them for help and had suggested that several people work together to research a small calculator.

But this matter was vetoed by Han Sanfeng.

The reason is that there are not enough people.

In particular, there are not enough outstanding talents.

But this time Mr. Wang brought it up, could it be that the matter has been transferred?

"Commander, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Of course it's for the sake of revolutionary construction, cooperation!"

Yang Xiaotao's mind was filled with alarm bells, and he asked tentatively, "How do you want to cooperate?"

"Hey, it's still the same as before. We provide people to help you make that thing, the calculator."

"and then?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't think the other party would be so kind, especially when the other party was at a disadvantage.

"We are sending people to help you, so you have to give us some fees."

really!

"How much do you think is appropriate?"

"Hehe, haha, well, I think 50,000 yuan per person is quite appropriate. There are two of us helping you, so 100,000 yuan will be enough."

patter
The phone hangs up.

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath, "Fifty thousand per person? Damn it, this is made of gold."
