Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 277
Outside the back kitchen, Yi Zhonghai was talking to Sha Zhu.

Two days ago, the third master Yan Fugui asked him to talk to Shazhu about making a banquet for their family Yan Jiecheng. Yi Zhonghai couldn't save face, and at the same time wanted to win Yan Fugui over to pave the way for the next thing, so he agreed.

"Grandpa, let Mr. Yan tell you about this."

"This is a table for others, at least this number."

Silly Zhu stretched out five fingers, "If Lao Yan said it, it seems that they are all in the same courtyard. I'll give him a discount, four yuan per table will do!"

Yi Zhonghai smiled at the side, "Zhuzi, since Yan Fugui found me, then this matter is my business, you have to give this uncle face!"

Sha Zhu immediately laughed, "Look at what you said, can I not give the face of the uncle?"

"Come on, one dollar, let me earn some!"

As Silly Zhu said, Yi Zhonghai nodded in satisfaction.

Just at this moment, the voice on the radio rang out, and the two of them both had ugly expressions after listening for a while.

"Damn Yang Xiaotao, he got another benefit!"

Silly Zhu was indignant, but Yi Zhonghai frowned and left hastily.

After he finished inquiring about the news, he stood there in a daze.

"Don't touch, don't mess with, don't mess with again!"

Yi Zhonghai murmured, the secret in his heart warned him that if he continued like this, he would only be asking for his own death.

After a long time, Yi Zhonghai heaved a sigh of relief.

If you can't mess with it, you can only hide!
砰

Liu Haizhong put the lunch box on the table, then pulled it up, and Xu Damao sat beside him, with an ugly expression on his face.

"Second uncle, have you heard?"

"Hmph, the whole factory is rumored, and I'm not deaf!"

Xu Damao bowed his head, the better Yang Xiaotao was, the more uncomfortable he was.

Especially Lou Xiaoe's gaze was even more disgusting.

"Second uncle, I heard that Yang Xiaotao is going to be the leader of the R&D team, do you know what he does?"

Mentioning this made Liu Haizhong feel even more uncomfortable.

He has always wanted to be an official, but after so long he is still a worker, and now he is far behind Yang Xiaotao.

He has asked the director, the leader of this R&D team has the same status as the deputy director.

Deputy Director, why not him?
Damn Yang Xiaotao!

"do not know!"

"Second uncle, you say this kid..."

In the courtyard, Ran Qiuye cleaned up the inside and outside of the house, and then looked at the side of the courtyard.

The three children were absent-mindedly sweeping the floor with the sweeping pole. Among them, the one with bad legs and feet was the stick of the Jia family. Every time he looked at him, his little eyes were fierce.

Thinking of what Yang Xiaotao told her about the yard, at first she also had some thoughts about Yang Xiaotao embarrassing a child, but now it seems that she understands.

My man is right, some people are destined not to get close.

Ran Qiuye tidied up the yard. As for the temporary pigsty Yang Xiaotao made, he didn't dismantle it, thinking that it could also be used to raise chickens in the future.

In Yangjiazhuang, there are quite a few chicken farmers. The eggs they lay can be exchanged for things in the pigeon market. Many of the children’s food is made from chicken coops!

Ran Qiuye clapped his hands, then went to the side and picked a ripe tomato to eat.

Crisp and sweet, Ran Qiuye was very satisfied.

Looking at the ripe tomatoes, Ran Qiuye was going to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes tonight, so she found a pot and picked them in the yard.

At this time, Aunt Chen walked out of the door, looked at the three children who came uninvited in the yard, and walked up to Ran Qiuye without saying anything.

"Auntie, come in and sit down."

Seeing this, Ran Qiuye quickly led Aunt Chen into the house, and the two entered the house and closed the door.

The stick on the side watched Ran Qiuye eat the tomatoes, swallowing the saliva in his mouth continuously, but he was also afraid of the past, this Yang Xiaotao's yard was too evil, and his toes still hurt.

Not far away, Jia Zhang put down the insole in his hand and kept staring at Ran Qiuye.

"Bah, I'm still a teacher. I don't have any sympathy at all. I think she's just a hen that doesn't lay eggs. Sooner or later, she will be an extinct family."

Jiazhang was indignant, especially when he saw Ran Qiuye eating tomatoes.

Sure enough, Lou Xiao'e, who was talking to Da Ma in the distance, was not found. The expressions of the two of them changed after hearing this, and then they went home separately.

Qin Huairu, who was drying the quilt at the side, listened, lowered his head, envy and jealousy flashed in his eyes, and finally regained his composure, and shouted at the stick.

"Bang terrier, go home!"

When Bang Geng heard this, he immediately ran home with Sao Zhu in his hand, and turned his head to look at Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang who were not far away.

Seeing this, the two brothers didn't wait too long, and ran to the front yard with the sweeping pillar.

In the front yard, the third mom didn't care about the affairs of the two brothers, and devoted all her heart to the eldest brother's marriage.

After a cordial and friendly conversation, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li's marriage was finally settled, and it was this Saturday.

For this marriage, the Yan family was bleeding heavily. Originally, they thought that the dowry gift of 20 yuan would not be a problem, but because of Haitang's coercion, they abruptly mentioned [-] yuan.

This is far beyond the current specification.

But who let Yu Haitang know about Yang Xiaotao?
In this comparison, 30 yuan is really not much, at least one bicycle can be compared, not to mention two, and a sewing machine!
Ugh

If Yan Jiecheng was promising, they would accept it, but who knew that Yan Jiecheng would not marry Yu Li, which made the two of them very passive.

I have no choice but to bite the bullet.

"Old man, go to the middle courtyard and ask again."

"Then Yang Xiaotao is not easy to talk to, but this Ran Qiuye is also a teacher, and you are all teachers, so maybe you can't do it!"

The third mother talked about the bicycle when welcoming the bride, and encouraged the third grandfather to borrow the bicycle.

Yan Fugui thought so too, Yang Xiaotao was stingy, but Ran Qiuye might not be.

Besides, they are all teachers, so I still have to give them some face.

"Okay, I'll go and have a look!"

After finishing speaking, Yan Fugui patted his buttocks and walked to the middle courtyard.

When he came to the middle courtyard, Yan Fugui looked at Mrs. Jia and Zhang in the courtyard, and went straight to Yang Xiaotao's house without saying hello.

"What's the air, isn't it just looking for a daughter-in-law, hum!"

"What's so amazing!"

Jia Zhang's cursed the air, and anyone who was better off than their family was the target of her curse.

In particular, Yan Jiecheng found a daughter-in-law in the city, which was naturally better than their family's finding a wife in the countryside, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

Looking at it now, only her family found a country wife in this courtyard, which made her a little embarrassed.

In the room, Qin Huairu naturally knew what her mother-in-law was thinking, so she didn't ask for trouble.

Yan Fugui knocked on the door of Yang Xiaotao's house. Inside, Ran Qiuye and Aunt Chen were chatting about household chores. Hearing the knock on the door, he hurried out to have a look.

"Mr. Yan!"

Ran Qiuye looked at Yan Fugui, and did not address him as the third master like the others. After all, she hadn't been in the house yet, and she didn't belong to this compound.

"Hey, Teacher Ran, are you busy?"

"Just finished packing!"

As Ran Qiuye said, Yan Fugui looked into the room, and Ran Qiuye generously invited Yan Fugui in.

No matter what, the door is always a guest, not to mention that Yan's family is not Jia's.

Under Yang Xiaotao's subtle influence, Ran Qiuye had accepted the situation that he had no contact with the Jia family, but the other people in the courtyard, who could speak, would not be cold-hearted.

The two entered the house.

"Aunt Chen is here too!"

Suspicion flashed in Yan Fugui's eyes, the Chen family and Yang Xiaotao got too close, it's not a good sign!
"The third master is here!"

Aunt Chen said something, but didn't get up.

Ran Qiuye poured water and handed it to Yan Fugui, and there was no lack of etiquette. Yan Fugui nodded inwardly, as expected of a scholar.

Uh

He is also a scholar!
Can't fall!

"Teacher Ran, I take the liberty to pay a visit. I do have something to discuss with you."

Yan Fugui began to babble, "My family is going to get married this Saturday, and I still need everyone's help with some things."

After hearing this, Ran Qiuye said calmly.

"Teacher Yan, you're being polite. Although I'm in this family, there are some things that need to be decided by the head of the family. For some things, it doesn't count if I say it."

"Tell me first, we will definitely help if we can help."

"Yes, I can, I'm busy!"

Yan Fugui felt that there was some drama, at least Ran Qiuye's performance was not as unsatisfactory as Yang Xiaotao's.

Afterwards, Yan Fugui told about the fact that he needed a bicycle to meet his relatives in the end, and Ran Qiuye thought it was no big deal after hearing that.

These days, weddings and marriages will borrow a bicycle and let the bride sit on it.

"It's no problem. I won't use my bicycle on Saturday, so I can just lend it to you!"

Yan Fugui thought about it, women's bicycles are also fine, and they are more expensive and save face.

Immediately feel proud, this calculation is done.

"Teacher Ran, thank you..."

The voice fell, and before he could continue speaking, another voice suddenly came.

"Excuse me, is this Comrade Yang Xiaotao's home?"

Ran Qiuye heard a strange voice and hurried out to have a look.

Yan Fugui felt that the matter had come to an end, and he didn't want any more misfortunes, so he said hello to Aunt Chen and was about to leave.

When I got married, I saw a green leather bag hanging on a [-]-bar at the door, and the person pushing the cart was wearing the clothes of the post office, no need to look at it, it was the postman.

He knew the person who came, the postman in this area.

"The third master is also there!"

"Ah, Xiao Zhang, what's the matter with you?"

"This is not a document that needs to be sent to Comrade Yang Xiaotao, and he needs to receive his signature!"

Xiao Zhang took out an envelope with a signature slip on it.

After hearing this, Ran Qiuye stepped forward and said, "Hi comrade, Comrade Yang Xiaotao is at work now, not at home!"

"you are?"

"Hi, I'm Ran Qiuye, Yang Xiaotao's date!"

Yan Fugui reciprocated, and quickly introduced, "That's right, this is Comrade Yang Xiaotao's partner, and they are going to get married soon. You can do like her!"

"That's great, I don't have to make another trip!"

"Then, Comrade Ran Qiuye, this is Comrade Yang Xiaotao's item delivered by the post office, please sign for it!"

Then he handed the envelope and the receipt to him, and a pen by the way.

After Ran Qiuye took it, he signed it and was about to put it away.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhang, the postman, said it again.

"Comrade Ran Qiuye, this is a special item, please count it face to face!"

Ran Qiuye was taken aback for a moment, and Yan Fugui was also puzzled, but he quickly thought of something.

General transfer items do not need to be inspected, only when money is involved will they be counted face to face, isn't it?

Yan Fugui looked at the envelope in Ran Qiuye's hand.

Ran Qiuye didn't think too much about it, and when she heard what Xiao Zhang said, she opened the envelope and took out the contents.

A piece of paper with a few gray printed banknotes underneath, Yan Fugui knew it was five yuan RMB at a glance, his eyes suddenly became hot.

However, Ran Qiuye glanced at the information on the paper, and immediately understood that this was Yang Xiaotao's contribution fee for his last contribution.

Now that the high-yield corn matter has been exposed, it makes no sense for the paper not to be discovered.

It's just that the manuscript fee is a lot.

Ran Qiuye clicked, and the number was right, 30 yuan, alas, the monthly salary of ordinary workers is too much.

Yan Fugui's heart itched to see it, and he glanced from the side, and knew that it was Yang Xiaotao's manuscript fee, which was even more shocking.

"Comrade, the number is correct, there is no problem."

"Okay, that's fine."

After Xiao Zhang said a few words, he pushed the car away, followed by the children in the yard, full of novelty.

Ran Qiuye put the paper and front into an envelope, and gave it to Yang Xiaotao when he came back.

Yan Fugui went back to the front yard when he saw that he was fine.

Jia Zhang of the Intermediate Court frowned, wondering why the postman was here.

Several other aunts saw that the postman was also asking for news.

In the front yard, Yan Fugui told the three mothers what he saw, and soon the courtyard knew that Yang Xiaotao had earned 30 yuan in fees for his manuscript.

Everyone has become numb.

Compared with an old sow, the 30 yuan is not much, but it still makes people jealous.
