Chapter 2084 A Chance to Soar to the Sky
After bidding farewell to Chen Gong, Yang Xiaotao walked out quickly, fearing that someone would come out and stop him from sending his apprentice away.

But he still underestimated his status in the machinery factory. Once the news of accepting an apprentice spread, no matter where he went, people would come up to him and ask about the situation.

Even people who don't talk much on weekdays would come up and say hello. Although they didn't say it explicitly, that was their purpose.

When someone comes to him with a smile, Yang Xiaotao can't have a sour face.

So, he could only explain it over and over again. In the end, he didn't want to say more about the reasons for the explanation. He just said that he was an engineer and the matter of taking apprentices had nothing to do with him.

After finally leaving the machinery factory and returning to the courtyard to prepare dinner, the news was brought back by the workers of the machinery factory and immediately caused a sensation in the courtyard.

Not to mention those working in the machinery factory, even other people in the alley would be tempted.

If you recognize Yang Xiaotao as your master, the benefits will be visible to the naked eye.

Since he had no job, he was immediately assigned to a machinery factory.

No backer? With Yang Xiaotao as my master, who else do I need?
That’s the hero’s apprentice!

As for life at home, with the help of a master, it will be a complete change!
Even if there is no suitable candidate in the family, everyone has relatives around. As long as the children of the relatives benefit, how can their children be left out?

When they thought about the life the Yang family was living now, everyone felt hot in their hearts.

Even Wang Dashan came over with two pig ears to inquire about the news, because his little tiger still doesn't have a proper job.

When the others saw Wang Dashan entering the Yang family's house, they immediately became uneasy and came to the door of the Yang family to inquire about the news.

As a result, Wang Dashan was seen walking out with a smile on his face, and Yang Xiaotao also smiled as he walked him out the door.

The look on their faces immediately made everyone feel as if their treasure had been robbed.

So as soon as Wang Dashan left, Aunt Zhang, the neighbor next door, came over calling Ran Qiuye's name.

Ran Qiuye could only entertain them warmly.

Then Aunt Zhang left with a smile, and then...

Until it was dark, people were still coming in and out of the Yang family's door.

There were even more people standing at their doorsteps, waiting for the people inside to come out before going in.

However, everyone who came out had a smile on their face, but when asked whether they had succeeded, they all shook their heads and said that Yang Xiaotao had no intention of taking in disciples.

But it didn't work, why are you so happy?
It’s fake, there must be something they don’t know.

Perhaps Yang Xiaotao set the conditions for accepting apprentices, just like in the past when masters selected apprentices, they had to set up assessment items, and only after the apprentice passed the test could he become the apprentice.

The more people thought about it, the more confused they became. Some even asked what the assessment items were for those entering. But these people were so revolutionary that no one could say anything.

This further proves that there is something fishy going on!
This makes those who haven't entered yet feel itchy and want to go in and talk even more.

forecourt.

Yan Fugui came back with a smile, and was pulled aside by the third aunt as soon as he entered the door. Yan Jiekuang beside him opened his eyes wide with full of longing.

After the Chinese New Year, he will be in the second grade of junior high school. If he were another child, he would have started working by now.

But if it was easy to find a job in this city, his elder brother wouldn't have stayed at home all day and finally ran off with a woman.

The third aunt pulled Yan Fugui to her side and asked nervously, "So, so, is Yang Xiaotao going to take in an apprentice?"

"What did he say? What kind does he want? If our third son is not good enough, I still have several nephews from my mother's family..."

"What nonsense!"

Yan Fugui slammed the table and scolded, "Yang Xiaotao never accepted disciples!"

The third aunt opened her mouth wide, and Yan Jiekuang's eyes were dim.

This is an opportunity to achieve success overnight and change your destiny.

Now it’s become fake?
"But, isn't that what everyone in the hospital says?"

Yan Fugui sat on a stool nearby and said, "That's because they didn't understand!"

"What Yang Xiaotao said is that an eighth-level master teacher is accepting apprentices! Is that right?"

The third aunt nodded.

Then Yan Fugui took a deep breath and said, "It's true that Yang Xiaotao is an eighth-level master chef, but he is also an engineer!"

"This has nothing to do with him!"

The third aunt looked frustrated when she heard this. "How can this be? Can't he just take in an apprentice?"

"If you have such a great ability, just give it to Duanwu!"

"What if..."

"Shut up!"

Without waiting for the third aunt to finish speaking, Yan Fugui started yelling.

The third aunt quickly shut her mouth, knowing that she had said the wrong thing, and then looked out the window, only to be relieved when she saw that there was nothing pornographic.

"Don't say such things, otherwise!"

"The good days of our family are over! Do you understand?"

Yan Fugui spoke sternly, and the third aunt quickly turned around and agreed.

Seeing this, Yan Fugui also relaxed his expression and then said, "Even if I accept a disciple, I will only accept an engineer as my disciple!"

"With these conditions, it's hard to find someone who can be Yang Xiaotao's apprentice, not to mention those people in our courtyard or the surrounding alleys, even in the machinery factory!"

Yan Fugui finished his words in a huff, and sighed again, "Yang Xiaotao's branch is too high. It's too difficult to climb up!"

The three aunts nodded silently after hearing this, things are different now.

The room suddenly became quiet.

After a long while, Yan Fugui pushed up his glasses and said with a smile, "Otherwise, everyone would come out with a smile. This is called not being afraid of not being favored by yourself, but being afraid of being favored by others!"

"Everyone is the same anyway, there's nothing much to say."

"Hurry up and eat. I have to go to the countryside early tomorrow morning."

At this point, Yan Fugui's smile became even brighter. "By the way, the school is distributing benefits during the Chinese New Year. I heard from Cuiping in the backyard that the machinery factory will donate a batch of supplies, and we will all get some when the time comes."

The third aunt's expression suddenly changed, and a smile appeared on her face, "Machinery factory? That's incredible! If we pluck just one hair from this thigh, it would be enough for our family to have a good New Year!"

"Right, right. So, it's right for us to get in touch with Teacher Ran!"

The third aunt straightened her neck after hearing this, "What else can I say? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have such a good thing!" Yan Fugui laughed, "We are all family, we are all one family!"

The third aunt looked very pleased with herself, and then she thought of something, "Oh, by the way, this morning, the first aunt came to see me."

"Why is she looking for you?"

"What else can I do? Yi Zhonghai is back. It's cold at home, and my legs hurt so much!"

"The weather got cold early this year, and they don't have much coal prepared. They want us to help them. Can we give them some coal?"

Yan Fugui frowned immediately after hearing this.

More even?
That must be shared among all the selected people, and everyone must show their love together.

Anyway, they don’t have much coal at home and can’t share it out!
Besides, this kind of thing has long been out of fashion!

In the past, some families in the hospital were poor and destitute. When the weather was cold, the whole hospital would organize a coal buying event, and those wealthy families would help out to get through the cold winter.

But there are only a few poor families coming and going, and theirs is not one of them!

You know, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Yi Zhonghai originally earned 99 yuan a month. Although he had lost money a few times in recent years, he definitely has enough money for his retirement!
What's more, there are only two people in the family, and Qin Huairu is there to help.

Others don’t know. He has been in the countryside for so many days and he doesn’t know anything about the Qin family.

What Qin Huairu does, although it may not be a lavish expense, at least it can feed the whole family.

Who are you crying poor to now?

"This matter is not easy to handle!"

Yan Fugui smacked his lips twice and said, "This is all family helping family, it's not like everyone is raising money and dividing it equally."

"Can we ask everyone to donate money?"

"No, no, our family is not rich!"

Soon Yan Fugui figured out why the old lady came to him. It was to ask him to organize charity in the hospital.

But can he do this?
Of course not, otherwise their family would end up like Yi Zhonghai's family and Jia's family.

The third aunt understood and said quickly, then sneered, "Now you remember the neighbors helped you, what they did before, you still have the nerve to talk about it!"

"I used to show my love, but it chilled the hearts of the people in the hospital. Who will care about me now?"

"Okay, don't worry about it. Let them do whatever they want. If all else fails, go to the countryside to collect firewood. I think people in the countryside all burn wood, which is not bad."

After Yan Fugui finished speaking, the third aunt walked aside to clean up the food and prepare to eat.

Middle Court.

Yi Zhonghai covered his legs with a quilt and looked out the window, his face showing a look of reminiscence and regret.

Back then, he was still an uncle and an eighth-level fitter in a machinery factory.

There are also members of the Jia family living in this courtyard.

At that time, he also said that he wanted to accept a disciple, and the scene was similar to the current one.

such a pity.

There are risks in taking in an apprentice.

He is a negative example.

Taking in this loser Jia Dongxu not only didn't help me, but also led me to the current situation.

How great it would have been if he had accepted Yang Xiaotao at the beginning!
Now, there is no need for him to linger like this. He has been sitting in Yang's house, warming the stove and drinking tea, waiting for his disciples and grandchildren to show their respect.

"One wrong move and you lose everything!"

Yi Zhonghai withdrew his gaze and muttered to himself.

The eyes are more spicy.

I hope Yang Xiaotao can also collect some trash, preferably like Jia Dongxu.

He said this in his mind, then felt the pain in his legs and groaned again.

Moving his body to the stove, Yi Zhonghai picked up the fire hook and poked the stove, only to see that it was only emitting a little red light, which could not dispel the coldness in the room at all!
Ugh!
Now my legs hurt a lot when they get cold.

If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have broken my leg on purpose!

I regret it!
An old lady walked in from outside, followed by Qin Huairu.

When he saw the two of them, his eyes flickered to the latter.

Suddenly I felt that Jia Dongxu was not useless. At least it was not bad to keep this widow.

But this widow from the country is not an ordinary person!

If it were in the past, I could still handle it.

But now, after going through so many things, he has grown wings and started to become disobedient!
Now that he has a way to earn his own food, it is beyond his control.

Besides, now that the obedient Sha Zhu is gone in the courtyard, the only one the old couple can rely on is her!
This changes the control relationship between the two parties.

His gaze lingered on Qin Huairu for a moment, and Yi Zhonghai suppressed his thoughts.

If you want this woman to be obedient, you need money!

But now, where does he get the money in this condition?

Suddenly, Yi Zhonghai remembered the deaf old lady. The old lady had asked him to remember a few names, and he had kept them in mind.

I didn't dare to look for him before because I was afraid of being implicated.

But in this situation now, he felt that he had to take the initiative.

"Old Yi, don't come down like this."

An old lady saw Yi Zhonghai holding a fire hook in his hand and hurriedly said something, then went forward and helped him up and sat him back on the bed.

"It's cold in the room, I'm coming down to tidy up."

As Yi Zhonghai was speaking, the aunt lowered her head and sighed, while Qin Huairu just smiled and didn't show much concern.

To Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai was a hypocrite, full of morality and justice but full of evil intentions. She had done many things behind the Jia family's back...

Such an old man should just wait to die when he is no longer useful. Why come back?
