Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2053 Don’t be too honest
Sensing Yang Xiaotao's movements, Ran Qiuye pushed him gently, but when she found it was useless, she just let it go.

"This thing is a little ridiculous when you talk about it."

Yang Xiaotao became more and more proud, and attacked as he spoke, "When people first developed it, they thought it was an incredible medicine, and it was also given the meaning of 'heroine'."

"Unfortunately, no matter how much the devil whitewashes himself, he cannot change the nature of evil."

"In the end, people discovered that this thing is a devil, the kind of devil that can't be quit."

“That’s why it is classified as a dangerous item.”

Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the educational films on the screens of later generations, those scenes of being unable to live or die.

If I really get infected, I might as well give myself a peanut.

"It's the White Bone Demon, right?"

Ran Qiuye whispered in her ear, "It's just like the White Bone Demon in Journey to the West. It looks good, but it's actually harmful."

"Yes, it's the White Bone Demon."

"That goblin is very powerful. If it didn't have the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, and if its stick wasn't hard enough."

Yang Xiaotao gently applied force on his hands, then tilted his head, looked at his wife with blurry eyes, and gave her a light kiss.

"Fairy, it's time to eat the stick."

As she spoke softly, Ran Qiuye blushed, and then the two of them stood up and walked into the house.

The night wind was howling, and the branches of the big locust tree kept banging against each other, making collision sounds.

Xiaowei lay in Wangcai's soft fur, enjoying Wangcai's rocking bed.

Of course, it would be better if the black girl didn’t scream.

at the same time.

The backyard wasn't quiet either.

The couple, who had not seen each other for many days, waited until their child had a rest and then immediately had a real physical fight.

"You haven't come back for so long, what have you been doing outside?"

Cuiping gained the upper hand with her legs pressing on Yu Zecheng's shoulders.

"What else can I do? I just work."

Yu Zecheng struggled hard to resist. As expected, the wine Yang Xiaotao gave him tonight was not mixed with water.

"Work? Humph, you only have work in your mind, you um."

"You just don't have us in your heart, mother and daughter."

"Nonsense, why don't I have you two!"

Yu Zecheng turned over and became the master, with a ruthless look on his face, as if he wanted to vent all the frustration in his heart onto this body.

"I"

"I am now afraid of not being able to complete the mission, and I am also afraid of dying outside."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to see you two."

After a long time, the winner was decided.

"Just do it with confidence. I am in the Yu family and I will ensure that you will not be left without descendants."

Yu Zecheng hugged him tightly.

A faint sound was heard outside the house.

Two restless hearts were pounding.

"The stone is asleep."

"I probably can't hear it."

Therefore, those who refuse to admit defeat once again become the masters.

"One is still not safe, let's have another one!"

the next day.

Yang Xiaotao felt refreshed, then greeted the people in the hospital and went to the machinery factory together.

In the yard, after Yang Xiaotao left, Ran Qiuye took out the children's clothes to wash.

At the hanging flower gate, the third aunt looked at the insole again and again, finally turned around and gave Yan Fugui a look, then walked into the middle courtyard with a smile.

In the yard, Ran Qiuye, who was hanging clothes to dry, saw the three aunts coming towards her with a smile on their faces. He remembered what Yang Xiaotao said yesterday and immediately had an idea.

"Morning, Teacher Ran!"

"Morning, Auntie!"

Ran Qiuye greeted him with a smile, but his expression was indifferent, very normal.

The third aunt came forward with a smile and said, "This dress will be worn immediately."

"Yes, it's going to be cold soon, so we have to prepare in advance."

Ran Qiuye continued to hang clothes to dry as she spoke. The three aunts lent a hand at the side, passing and hanging clothes. Ran Qiuye did not despise them and remained calm.

After all the clothes in the basin were washed and hung on the rope, Ran Qiuye wiped his hands and asked, "Third Aunt, you are here to speak for Advantage again. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."

The third auntie grinned in embarrassment after hearing this, and finally looked at Ran Qiuye, and then said, "Teacher Ran, I really have something to tell you, please help me."

"You say."

"Okay, that's it."

The third aunt knew that this was not the time to continue being pretentious, so she quickly explained the situation.

"Your uncle Yan is in a bit of danger now because of this ingredient issue."

"But at his age, if he retires, what will happen to the family's financial support?"

"So, I want you to help me find a job in the countryside."

"My old Yan is quite knowledgeable, Mr. Ran, I..."

"I'm begging you because I really have no other choice!"

At the end of the conversation, I don’t know if the third aunt was sincere or just pretending, her tears were streaming down her face.

Behind the hanging flower gate, Yan Fugui felt a little upset as he listened to what the third aunt said.

Even though we know that this was something the old couple had discussed before, it is still true.

What they are facing is just like what I said, there is nothing they can do.

"Three Aunties!"

Ran Qiuye's expression was calm, and his face did not become sympathetic because of the other party's few words.

When the third aunt heard what Ran Qiuye said, she immediately looked at Ran Qiuye with hope.

Seeing the look on the third aunt's face, Ran Qiuye remembered what Yang Xiaotao said.

It’s different in the past.

In the past, when Shazhu Yi Zhonghai and his gang were in the Siheyuan, he didn't want to get involved.

But now, the careless guys are gone, and those with bad intentions are in, and the courtyard needs a new order.

He just didn't want to devote too much energy to this matter.

There is enough going on in the machinery factory, so there is no time to deal with such trivial matters.

What's more, the general environment is like this. We should judge by actions rather than intentions, and no one is perfect because of their intentions.

Yan Fugui is not a bad person. He is more than qualified to be a boss.

Yang Xiaotao did not agree yesterday because Yan Fugui was not suitable for the worker route.

I'm almost fifty, what if I collapse in the workshop? Besides, I've been a teacher for half my life, so I can't lose my integrity in my later years.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao also wanted Ran Qiuye to be a good person.

As the saying goes, men are responsible for external affairs and women are responsible for internal affairs.

Although we have been liberated, men and women are equal.

But look at this courtyard, in most families, aren’t it the men who work to earn money and the women who manage the family business?
This matter is just right for me to ask Ran Qiuye to do me a favor.

"Third Auntie, there is really no shortage of teachers in rural schools."

As soon as Ran Qiuye said this, the third aunt's face immediately became depressed.

Yan Fugui, who was hiding in the Chuihua Gate, took off his glasses and sighed helplessly.

This is true.

Some time ago, many teachers in the city went to rural schools, and many students also went to become teachers.

At that time he still laughed at these people, and thought that Ran Qiuye was just using a feather to issue an order and taking him too seriously.

But looking back now, I realize that I was really blind.

"but!"

Just when Yan Fugui was about to leave, Ran Qiuye's voice came again, making his heart suddenly rise.

"But what?"

The third aunt was more anxious than Yan Fugui and looked at Ran Qiuye expectantly.

"However, the school's sundries department is still short of a manager, who is responsible for counting and managing students' supplies and equipment on weekdays."

"Go back and talk to Master Yan, if he agrees then..."

"agreed, agreed."

Before Ran Qiuye could finish her words and before the third aunt opened her mouth, Yan Fugui ran out from the hanging flower gate, looking excited and waving his hands eagerly.

"Ran, Teacher Ran."

"I agree, of course I agree."

"You know, I am the best at fiddling with these things on weekdays."

"You know everything about our family, right? Write it down in a notebook, one by one, and nothing will go wrong."

"Don't worry, I will definitely remember it and take care of it for you!"

Yan Fugui was so happy.

Although he doesn't have to teach, he is familiar with this job.

For the moment, he didn't care what the people in the yard thought of him and just stood beside Ran Qiuye to try to please her.

"Since you have no problem with this, then fine! You can make your own arrangements at school."

Ran Qiuye also smiled and said, "When it's done, you and Sister Cuiping will go to Dongxiaozhuang Village together."

"Okay, I happen to have a bicycle, I'll go with you, together."

With Ran Qiuye's consent, Yan Fugui and the third aunt were finally relieved.

The two talked to Ran Qiuye for a while before leaving and returning to the front yard.

As soon as he entered the room, Yan Fugui clapped his hands and said, "I told you, Teacher Ran is a very honest person. Her marriage to our courtyard will raise the cultural level of our courtyard."

The third aunt glanced at him and asked, "Who couldn't sleep the whole night last night?"

Yan Fugui smiled, but heard the third aunt say, "Although Teacher Ran is honest, he is not stupid."

"And Yang Xiaotao is watching from behind."

"Let's work hard and not hurt this relationship!"

Yan Fugui nodded immediately, "Do you even need to say that? I already knew it."

"This is our family's last chance. We can't make the wrong choice again."

"If not for anything else, just for the sake of the second brother and the third and fourth children behind him, we have to build this line."

At this point, the old couple nodded at the same time.

"But."

“My bicycle also came in handy.”

"No, I have to go check it out. I can't give up halfway."

Yan Fugui said this and ran out.

Soon, what happened in the Central Courtyard spread to the courtyards and alleys.

Everyone also knew that from now on the last master of this courtyard would become a supporter of the Yang family.

However, no one found it strange.

Nowadays, who doesn’t think about themselves?

But this time, the one who made the decision was Ran Qiuye, which makes people think a lot.

Maybe, from now on, men will no longer have the final say in this courtyard. In future meetings, these "housewives" will become the main force.

This is true gender equality.

Of course, when some people are happy, others are sad.

When Qin Huairu heard the discussion in the courtyard, she felt upset again.

The higher Ran Qiuye's status, the more of a failure she is in comparison.

Originally, I could feel some superiority from having children, but now, I don’t even have a pillar to support my family.

I still have to struggle for food.

Work, that's even more incomparable.

I don't even have a job.

Now, even the gap in status has widened, how can we compare!

Qin Huairu was dejected, but Ran Qiuye was taking the children out to play.

Seeing this scene, the quality of life is incomparable.

Machinery factory.

Yang Xiaotao was sitting in the office looking at a document in his hand, with two people sent by Mr. Chen beside him.

The two men came mainly to ask Yang Xiaotao to make the next contact with Mosidov.

Of course, this connection has a purpose, just like the metal rhenium mentioned earlier.

Mr. Chen had already had several conversations with Mosidov before.

The reason why we asked Yang Xiaotao to come this time is to deepen the relationship between him and Alfat.

Yang Xiaotao sat in his seat, looking at the documents carefully. Some of the things recorded in them could be said, but some needed to be ambiguous.

This is not just casual chatting with ordinary people. Sometimes, once you make a promise, you have to fulfill it.

Especially the higher your status, the more careful you should be when speaking.

Just after reading these materials, Yang Xiaotao was speechless.

I really feel that after working so hard for so long and doing so many favors, this is all I get. It's really not worth it.

He couldn't say that Mr. Chen and others had a problem with their vision, he could only say that people in China nowadays are too honest.

Just like more than ten years later, people were ready to be ripped off and had prepared 8 billion yuan, but our people were ruthless and raised the price up. They even felt that the price was unscrupulous. However, they didn't expect that in the eyes of others, it was a conscience price!
People may even curse you behind your back, calling you an ignorant bumpkin.
