Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 208 Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu

"Why is it so stinky?"

Yang Xiaotao lowered his head and smelled it, and there was a stench all over his body.

It's like the smell of the white stuff squeezed out of the atheroma, it's very unpleasant.

Yang Xiaotao got up quickly, turned off the lights, took off his clothes, then went to the yard, picked up the bucket and poured water on his body.

After a lot of work, I washed away the smell on my body, and then I found clothes to put on.

Fortunately, it was midnight, and there was no one in the yard, and it was covered by corn stalks, so I didn't worry about being seen.

Put on your clothes, throw the changed ones into the basin, soak them in water, and prepare to wash them tomorrow.

Just about to enter the door, I suddenly saw a figure walking in from the hanging flower door in the front yard.

If it weren't for Yang Xiaotao's good eyesight, I really couldn't see it.

The figure walked very carefully, with a low voice, and a strong figure, and he came to the yard in a short while.

Yang Xiaotao squinted and saw that this person was Qin Huairu.

I didn't think much about it, I just thought I would go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

These days, the toilets are located outside the compound for the purpose of centralized excrement collection and disposal.

How else did the dung tickets in the countryside come from?

Yang Xiaotao didn't take it seriously, but then another figure came out, which was interesting.

Yi Zhonghai?
Yang Xiaotao saw who that person was.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai didn't expect that there were still people awake in the yard. Of course, he was more careful than usual, looking around vigilantly, and hurried back to the house.

He just stopped for a moment before entering the door, glanced at Jia's house across the way, and then entered.

Yang Xiaotao watched the two come back one after the other in the middle of the night, and it was hard not to want to go together.

Stretching out his hand to grope for the stubble, Yang Xiaotao thought of something interesting.

"Prosperity!"

With a gesture, Wangcai, who was lying in the nest, immediately got up, and the collar on his neck fell to the ground as soon as he struggled.

Then he ran to Yang Xiaotao, shaking his head.

"Where did those two people go just now, find out for me."

Wangcai nodded, turned around and ran into the yard, lowered his head and sniffed twice, then ran out and disappeared.

Yang Xiaotao went back to the house, tidied up, and prepared to check the rewards.

In this upgrade, not only has the experience of an eighth-level fitter, or the body has the ability to forge eighth-level workpieces, but also a new sub-skill.

With a background in fishing and cooking, these sub-skills can bring a lot of benefits.

Yang Xiaotao also wanted to see what was so special about this mechanical proficiency.

It's a pity that credits are needed to activate mechanical proficiency, and his current credits are obviously not enough.

Reluctantly giving up, Yang Xiaotao got up and brushed his teeth. After washing, Wangcai from outside also came back.

woooo~~~
Wangcai growled, and Xiaowei crawled out of the corn stalk and acted as an interpreter.

Sure enough, Wangcai followed the aura of the two to find their respective destinations.

Just as Yang Xiaotao thought, what they went to was not the toilet, but a small courtyard deep in the alley, separated by the street office, where road cleaning tools were usually kept.

In the middle of the night, a woman and a man ran inside, thinking about it, what would they do?

"Heh, interesting!"

Before Yang Xiaotao crossed over, he had seen all kinds of speculation about Qingman Courtyard on the Internet, including Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai's unclear remarks, and even Jia Dongxu's accident was speculated to be Yi Zhonghai's fault.

It's just that after traveling to this courtyard, after so many years, I haven't found anything out of the ordinary between the two.

What's more, Jia Dongxu is still fine now, not to the point where Qin Huairu sells steamed buns to suck people's blood.

Wangcai didn't get any other breath there, obviously the two of them haven't gotten together yet.

But if this trend appears, we have to guard against it.

even……

Yang Xiaotao kept the matter in mind, and at the same time told Wangcai that he must follow up when encountering such a thing in the future.

Go home and sleep.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao got up to clean up the house, and before cooking, Ran Qiuye came from the door.

Looking at Ran Qiuye's angry look, Yang Xiaotao was a little puzzled.

"What's the matter?"

"Tell me, whoever provoked you, I will vent your anger on you."

Yang Xiaotao volunteered, and Ran Qiuye sat on the chair, still bowed his head and didn't speak, which really messed him up.

Walking closer, he stretched out his hand to hold the catkin, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

With tears in his eyes, Ran Qiuye threw himself into Yang Xiaotao's arms with a wow.

Yang Xiaotao couldn't care less about asking why, and quickly comforted him with caution.

It wasn't until Ran Qiuye calmed down that he spoke out.

It turned out that Ran Qiuye had overheard the conversation between Ran Qiuye and his mother last time. Although he didn't understand what it meant, he told his second sister Ran Xinrui about it.

Ran Xinrui knew about this, but she didn't know what she was thinking. She didn't want to go to school this month, and she talked about looking for a job to help the family earn money.

How much can she earn as a student?

Ran Qiuye asked her to go to school, and Ran's mother also spoke earnestly, but this girl was determined not to go to school.

For this reason, the two sisters quarreled last night. For the first time in so many years, Ran Qiuye slapped her sister.

The two sisters didn't sleep all night.

No, I came here early in the morning to complain.

Yang Xiaotao hugged Ran Qiuye, seeing how swollen her eyes were, he knew that she cried a lot last night.

"I know what's going on."

"It's all because of lack of money, alas!"

As Yang Xiaotao said, he picked up Ran Qiuye and put him on the bed.

Ran Qiuye struggled to get up, "Listen to me, sleep here, I'll take care of things."

Seeing that Ran Qiuye was about to speak, Yang Xiaotao leaned forward and kissed, their lips touched, Ran Qiuye couldn't help but wanted to dodge, but he couldn't dodge Yang Xiaotao's attack.

After parting her lips for a long time, Ran Qiuye blushed and calmed down.

"Don't get angry in the future, let alone vent your anger with your body."

"Just leave it to me. You can lie down at home and I'll go buy something to eat."

Yang Xiaotao said, got up and went out, and came to the breakfast restaurant at the entrance of the alley.

There were three or four men chatting, it was really fun.

"Long live the Communist Party" was written with a brush on one side of the wall, and a picture was pasted on the other side. The words on it were also very distinctive, "24 points for indicators, [-] points for measures, and [-] points for drive!"

Yang Xiaotao bought a catty of deep-fried dough sticks, two bowls of soy milk, and a portion of dried tofu and boiled stew at the breakfast shop.

Before leaving, I came back and bought another copy.

When he got home, Yang Xiaotao saw Ran Qiuye sitting in front of the basin washing clothes.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao came back, his hands were still washing his underwear, his face turned red.

Yang Xiaotao walked into the room with a smile, Ran Qiuye quickly dried the clothes and walked into the room.

"Let you sleep and rest, you are so good, you are not obedient at all."

As he spoke, he walked up to Ran Qiuye and pulled her to the table, and the two began to eat.

After eating, Yang Xiaotao took out an envelope and stuffed it into Ran Qiuye's hand.

"My salary last month, you take it and use it first, and then tell me if it is not enough."

Ran Qiuye hastily declined, and she wanted to deduct the money before she was married, so that others would know how serious it was?
"No, I can't take it!"

"Stupid woman, what can't you take? From now on, you are all mine, why are you still so clear?"

"From now on, I will be in charge of earning money, and you will be in charge of spending it. We can have a clear division of labor."

Ran Qiuye was amused by the last sentence, "Bah, who is yours now."

"Of course it's you!"

"No one deserves it but you."

"Nonsense. But for the money, I..."

"What about me? If you think it's inappropriate, stay here tonight. Let's get things done in advance. When the time comes, the family will not have to divide you and me."

After hearing this, Ran Qiuye stretched out his hand to hammer Yang Xiaotao, "You villain, you think well."

Yang Xiaotao took the opportunity to hold his little hand, "That's right, I just want the beauty you want."

Ran Qiuye blushed.

"I'll take you back and have a good talk with my little sister. Anything that can be solved with money is nothing."

"Ok!"

Ran Qiuye put the envelope in his pocket, not paying attention to how much money was inside.

The two packed up and went out, Yang Xiaotao carried the unfinished breakfast.

Someone discovered the situation when Ran Qiuye was washing clothes in the yard, and now he was even more shocked when he came out.

Silly Zhu had just left for work, and seeing this scene made him feel bad.

呸

Dog men and women.

Silly Zhu thought to himself, in the future, find someone who is more beautiful and plump than Qin Huairu, richer than Lou Xiaoe, and more knowledgeable than Ran Qiuye, so that Yang Xiaotao and Xu Damao will be pissed off.

Silly Zhu walked out happily in his heart, and didn't even think about whether he was worthy or not.

I just feel that with my reputation as a person and my cooking skills, why can't I find a woman?

"After passing the assessment this time, I am directly a seventh-level cook. I envy them."

Walking out flickeringly, seeing the uncle and Jia Dongxu in front of him, he hurried up to follow them.

Yang Xiaotao took Ran Qiuye home by the way, but didn't go in, and then went to work in the rolling mill.

In the Ran family, Ran's mother's face was ashen, and the second girl beside her was pouted, her eyes were red, but her face was stubborn.

Obviously the mother and daughter are on the bar again.

Who would have thought that this little girl would have such backbone.

Ran Hongbing hid by the cupboard, rolled his small eyes, and waved his fist at the second sister in support of Ran's mother where she couldn't see.

He doesn't want to go to school either.

Just didn't have the guts to say it.

Shame.

Ran Qiuye walked in from the outside and saw this scene, feeling sad.

"mom!"

"Qiuye, where did you go this morning?"

Ran's mother spoke with reproach, and no one was worried.

Ran Qiuye put the breakfast on the table, and Ran's mother frowned.

Their family is not rich enough to eat out.

"Mom, Xiaotao brought this."

"Also, this is for me."

Ran Qiuye didn't dare to say it was for their family, she could only say it was for herself.

The envelope was placed on the table, and Ran's mother frowned.

"Qiuye, you, tell me what's going on."

Ran Qiuye knew she couldn't hide it, so she went to Yang Xiaotao's and cried out.

Ran's mother was very angry when she heard this, what is this?

Ran Qiuye knew what her mother was thinking, and hurried forward to comfort her.

"He said that in the future he will be in charge of making money,..."

"Besides, no one has any problems. From now on, I will take good care of him..."

After talking about it, Ran's mother finally accepted the fact.

"Oh, Qiuye, you, you have to work harder in the future."

"Mom, I know."

As he spoke, Ran Qiuye opened the envelope first, revealing a stack of money notes.

"Wow, so much!"

Ran Hongbing had never seen so much money, and even Ran Xinrui, who was pouting, was shocked.

Ran's mother was taken aback, and Ran Qiuye was the first to react.

"Mom, this is Xiaotao's salary for one month."

Speak with pride.

"Brother-in-law, it's amazing."

"Yes, a lot of money!"

Ran Qiuye smiled, then winked at the two little ones, Ran Xinrui leaned over and smiled obediently, and Ran Hongbing threw himself into Ran's mother's arms and began to count the money notes.

In the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao went to Ran's house again after get off work. There was no man in the family to take the lead, so it was really hard to say something.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ran Hongbing rushing out. Brother-in-law and brother-in-law yelled, his mouth was so sweet.

In the room, Ran Qiuye was rolling out noodles, and Ran's mother smiled when she saw him coming.

Yang Xiaotao greeted Ran Qiuye, and then looked at Ran Xinrui who lowered his head.
