Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1973 Careful
"Mingyue, this child is so cute."

While preparing the dishes, Tong Xiaolong came up to Tang Mingyue and whispered.

His eyes stayed on Tang Mingyue's face for a moment, then immediately moved away.

"Brother Xiaolong, I heard that you got married."

Tang Mingyue looked at the burly man beside her and knew that there were some things that she couldn't hide from him, but she didn't want to explain anything.

Some things don't need to be said out loud, just treat them as a tacit understanding.

"I haven't congratulated you on your wedding yet."

Tang Mingyue gathered her hair and smiled. Tong Xiaolong immediately laughed when he heard it. "No big deal. Let your sister-in-law come over tomorrow to introduce him to the boy. By the way, after the New Year, Xiao Zhang will have a playmate."

"Really? How old is your sister-in-law?"

"It will be next March, probably."

When talking about his wife, Tong Xiaolong's face was full of naive tenderness and he didn't forget to scratch his head.

Seeing this, Tang Mingyue laughed, "You don't even know when your child will be born. How can you be a father?"

Tong Xiaolong smiled awkwardly again, then thought of something, "Mingyue, if my family gives birth to a daughter, how about arranging a marriage between her and Xiaozhang?"

"If it's a boy, let them be brothers."

Tang Mingyue was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, "Okay, then my Xiao Zhang won't have to worry about not having a wife."

Tong Xiaolong immediately laughed, "Don't worry, as long as I'm your uncle, no one can bully him."

As he spoke, he raised his strong arms and waved them in the air twice.

It seems to give people a sense of security.

"What did you two say?"

The two turned around and saw their uncle approaching them.

Tong Xiaolong straightened up immediately, "Chief."

The uncle walked up to him, holding a cigarette, and looked him up and down, "Xiaolong, you've gained weight again."

Tong Xiaolong smiled embarrassedly, "I have gained some weight recently, but I am exercising."

The uncle shook his head. "Men are like this after they get married, but be careful to control yourself."

"Yes, Chief, I'll make sure it's under control."

Uncle smiled.

Then he looked at Tang Mingyue and said, "Mingyue, I have something else to do and I need to leave."

"Commander, don't you want to eat?"

"No, I still need to go home and lie down. I've been out for so long, it's time to go back and take a look."

The uncle spoke in a casual manner and Tang Mingyue nodded.

"Don't worry, Commander. I'm fine."

Seeing this, the uncle felt relieved and turned to look at the male host who was coming over.

"During this period, Secretary Xiao Tang has helped me a lot."

"Especially the matter of the medicinal wine. This is all thanks to her."

Tang Mingyue hurriedly shook her head after hearing this, "Commander, this is all thanks to your planning, I'm just running errands."

"Hey, if I could solve all the problems by running errands like you, I wouldn't have to deal with so many things around me."

The uncle laughed and joked, then said to the male host, "If I didn't know you were reluctant, I would really want to come over and help."

The male host immediately shook his head, "Of course I can't give it to you."

"You don't know, I have a lot of things waiting for me."

"I knew you weren't willing to let it go."

The two of them were joking around, and Tong Xiaolong on the side was also smiling foolishly.

When the two of them were together before, Tang Mingyue was the one who came up with ideas, and he only had to do the work.

After Tang Mingyue left, he found it very difficult to do things. He was afraid that he would misunderstand the leader's intentions and do the wrong thing.

Now that he's back and the two of them are working together, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The two uncles walked out while talking, and hearty laughter could be heard from time to time.

Tang Mingyue and the other person followed behind until they reached the door and watched the car leave, then they turned around and walked back.

"Mingyue, go and have a rest first."

"Xiaolong, come here, there's something going on."

The male host gave instructions to Tang Mingyue, and then led Tong Xiaolong into the study.

Not long after uncle left, only my eldest sister and Tang Mingyue were left at home, and of course there was another person lying on the bed, staring at the rattle.

The eldest sister was playing with the child while Tang Mingyue was packing clothes nearby.

"Sister, I came back this time. I don't know if it's because we haven't seen each other for a long time or what, but I always feel that the leader's body seems to have changed."

"Did you eat anything?"

After Tang Mingyue finished speaking, the eldest sister nodded immediately.

"I would have said it even if you didn't mention it."

"The last time, he went to Yangjiazhuang. He was busy there for most of the day. After he came back, he ate and slept. He slept soundly."

"At first we thought it was just a matter of exercise and didn't take it seriously."

"But since then, I've been eating more each meal than before, and I've been eating meat and oily food, and I've been sleeping more soundly."

"Also, didn't you notice that he has fewer wrinkles on both sides of his face?"

Speaking of this, my eldest sister has a lot to say.

She had never told anyone about this, and only mentioned it to Tang Mingyue.

"Yes, yes, he often dreams."

"dream?"

"Yes, he said he dreamed of being with Yang Xiaotao several times, either watching him planting corn or watching him fishing a lot of fish, and sometimes he dreamed of Yang Xiaotao cooking for him."

Tang Mingyue frowned, "What's going on here?"

The eldest sister shook her head, "Who can tell for sure about this kind of thing?"

"It is said that you dream about something at night, but you know what he thinks about all day long. Why is he thinking about Yang Xiaotao all day long?"

Having said that, the eldest sister looked at Tang Mingyue.

If there is any connection, it is only the matter between Yang Xiaotao and Tang Mingyue that worries him.

Could it be that he is still upset about this matter?

After all, it was he who made the final decision on the matter.

Considering the status Tang Mingyue holds in both of their hearts, it makes sense.

Tang Mingyue reacted and then changed the subject, "Have you asked the doctor to check it out?"

"I checked it out, and it came for the first time. They said that the exercise opened up my body, so I slept well."

"I came for checkups every week afterwards, and each time I was told that my pulse was stronger and my health was better than before."

"Otherwise, he would be able to hold on to this whole day's work."

The eldest sister said this with a worried look on her face.

What she feared most was what the doctor called the "last breath of life" thing, because once an accident happened, it would be difficult to recover.

Tang Mingyue stepped forward, held the elder sister's hand and comforted her, "It's okay, the chief is blessed by heaven, and the people are hoping that he will live a long life."

"Living a hundred years is not enough, as long as you are healthy and free from disasters."

My eldest sister has also figured it out. In short, it is good enough for things to develop in a good direction. As for the rest, just treat it as a dream.

"From now on, my mother and I will take good care of him."

"As for you, work hard."

"Leave the child here with me. I'll take care of him for you. Don't worry about other work!"

Tang Mingyue nodded, her expression moved, "Big sister, thank you!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! From now on, this will be your home!"

"I just felt that my home was too lonely. Now that I have this little thing, my yard will definitely be lively in the future."

Tang Mingyue smiled and said, "If he doesn't have enough to eat, he might cry. The noise is so loud that the whole building won't be able to sleep well."

"The sound is great, it means you have a lot of energy."

As the eldest sister was talking, she thought of something and said, "Qiu Ye will be here in a few days, you two can meet him!"

Tang Mingyue was stunned, but finally nodded.

She had been in contact with Ran Qiuye for a long time, and this matter was not hidden from her.

Besides, she didn't want to cause any unpleasantness because of this matter.

That would be bad for both parties and for the children.

Seeing that Tang Mingyue did not object, the eldest sister asked again, "In a few days, the family will invite some people to visit, and Yang Xiaotao will also come."

"We mean to ask for your opinion on whether or not to tell him the truth."

"You have to explain this matter clearly to Qiu Ye!"

Tang Mingyue was silent for a moment and then shook her head.

"It's enough for us to know about this matter."

"Do you understand?"

Tang Mingyue nodded, "Now, it's not appropriate!"

"Ugh!"

The eldest sister sighed and reached out to touch the child's face. "I'm afraid that when he grows up, I won't be able to hide it anymore!"

Tang Mingyue bit her lip and finally said, "Then we'll talk about it when we grow up!"

early morning.

Yang Xiaotao was awakened by Wangcai's cry. He opened his eyes and happened to see Ran Qiuye also opened his eyes. Then he looked down.

Ran Qiuye suddenly realized something and immediately covered her chest. Then she found that her hands could not cover it at all, so she quickly reached out to cover Yang Xiaotao's eyes.

But by then, it was too late.

A pair of hands hit the target directly like a missile, and then there was an explosion that made Ran Qiuye unable to defend himself.

In the yard, Wangcai's voice had stopped. Yang Xiaotao held Ran Qiuye in his arms. Neither of them dared to make too much noise, for fear of attracting the attention of the children in the next room.

Afterwards, Yang Xiaotao enjoyed his morning exercise and listened to Xiaowei's explanation.

When he got up in the morning, Yi Zhonghai was ready to go to the countryside, but somehow, he arrived at the door of Qin's house and said a few words, and then Qin Huairu's crying was heard in the house.

"Master, I just heard that man say that he wanted to take his wife to the countryside, and he was going to find someone to take care of the house."

"take care of?"

Yang Xiaotao unconsciously exerted some strength, and Ran Qiuye patted Yang Xiaotao's belly with his hand, "Don't move."

"understand!"

Yang Xiaotao whispered, then frowned.

These days, hiring someone to take care of your house simply means asking someone to rent the house.

It’s just that it’s not popular to pay rent, so I asked someone to take care of the house.

Of course, there will definitely be some shady transactions involved, but it is also something that both parties are willing to do.

"What about the woman?"

"The woman said something like, 'It's inconvenient because of my age.'"

“Then nothing was said.”

"Why is Wangcai called that?"

"Because the old woman didn't want to go, she had an argument with the man. The man wanted to hit her, so Wangcai yelled twice."

Yang Xiaotao was speechless. Yi Zhonghai was really going backwards as he got older. He even beat up an old lady.

"Tell Wangcai to stop interfering!"

"understand!"

Xiaowei's voice disappeared, Yang Xiaotao reached out and lifted Ran Qiuye's hair, looking at her trying hard, she rolled her eyes at him.

"Bad guy."

When Yang Xiaotao and the other person got up, they saw Yi Zhonghai and an old lady go out and lock the door.

Then Yi Zhonghai pulled the old lady out.

No one in the hospital could understand what Yi Zhonghai was doing.

You go to the countryside to suffer alone, and you even bring an old lady with you. What kind of operation is this?

It's not necessary to let an old lady serve you.

At worst, I can just go a few more times every month.

But now, we have to 'share the joys and sorrows'.

"What does he want to do? Does he not want this house anymore?"

Ran Qiuye came over with an egg in her hand and asked curiously.

"Who knows!"

Yang Xiaotao turned around and laughed.

Ran Qiuye subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth, then thought of something and quickly turned around to cook.

Yang Xiaotao smiled, and then saw Qin Huairu pushing open the door and looking at the locked Yi Zhonghai's house not far away, with a dazed look on her face.

Perhaps, in this courtyard, only he and Qin Huairu understood why Yi Zhonghai did this.

If you don't do it, you will die.

Yang Xiaotao turned around and went back to the house, and soon he heard Duanwu's cry.

Qin Huairu stood at the door and lowered her head.

She understood that her "coveting" for Lao Dao had been discovered by Yi Zhonghai.

She didn't understand where she had given herself away.

In short, the coldness in Yi Zhonghai's eyes and his resolute departure were all warnings to her not to have any other thoughts.

But why can't she have other thoughts?
Qin Huairu couldn't understand.

Now that things have come to this, what else is there for Yi Zhonghai to insist on?
I have let him try it, but in the end, it was still a silver-like wax-head gun. Isn't it useless?

What's the harm in finding someone to rely on yourself?

It’s just about retirement!

Qin Huairu gritted her teeth, not feeling discouraged by Yi Zhonghai's departure.

On the contrary, at this moment, what Qin Jingru said emerged in her mind.

"I just don't believe I can't find a man!"
