Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 288 Wait for me
It was noon, and Yang Xiaotao came home.

There were still a few people in the room surrounding Ran Qiuye to guide, and Yang Xiaotao didn't go to see what to do.

Came to the kitchen, took out a piece of meat from the space, then went to the yard to pick two tomatoes, and started cooking.

After a while, the aroma of the food made the people in the room aware of the meal time, and they made an appointment with Ran Qiuye to come back in the afternoon, and then they went home.

Ran Qiuye put down her work, sat at the table and looked at the two dishes on the table, a small fried meat, a tomato scrambled eggs, and a bowl of noodles beside it.

Yang Xiaotao served her a bowl, "What are you doing?"

As he spoke, he looked over to the sewing machine.

"Don't look, don't look."

"When it's done, you'll know!"

Ran Qiuye covered Yang Xiaotao's face with his hands.

"Okay, surprise, then don't watch it."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, waiting for the surprise to come.

In the afternoon, Ran Qiuye continued to work in the house, while Yang Xiaotao said hello, picked up the fishing rod with Uncle Chen, and went out of the yard.

Tonight is a good time to celebrate.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao returned to the courtyard with the fish bucket. The big fish swimming in it made everyone who saw it envious.

Yang Xiaotao's fishing skills are well known and recognized as a master.

After putting the fish away, Yang Xiaotao didn't disturb Ran Qiuye who was buried in front of the sewing machine in the room.

Pick up the books you have read from the bookshelf, move a chair to make it in the yard, and learn new things by reviewing the past.

In the evening, the system reminded Yang Xiaotao to put down the book, and after seeing it, he actually finished a book.

"Thirty credits, one step closer!"

Yang Xiaotao put the book back into the room, only then did he see Ran Qiuye walking over with the finished product.

"Try it?"

In front of Yang Xiaotao was a pair of gray thumb gloves, cotton gloves, connected with a blue belt in the middle, it was simply, old-fashioned.

Yang Xiaotao has gloves, and the leather gloves exchanged from the exchange column will not freeze even in cold weather.

But this is Ran Qiuye's hard work, so let's use some dirt, it's all full of love!

Yang Xiaotao stretched out the glove, and then wrapped the strap behind his head.

"Very nice and warm!"

While saying that, she curled her fingers, and Ran Qiuye beside her was very happy, and then threw herself on the sewing machine again.

There are still some extra cloth and cotton, and he wants to make some more for his younger brothers and sisters.

Yang Xiaotao didn't bother Ran Qiuye when he was interested, and walked aside to start cooking.

In the evening, a dish of braised fish, a pot of braised pork, fried eggs, fried peanuts, four dishes and a tomato soup were placed on the table.

Yang Xiaotao took out another bottle of wine, while Ran Qiuye watched from the side.

"How to do so much, I can't eat it!"

"What day is it today? Don't celebrate!"

As Yang Xiaotao said, he licked the wine cup to the brim, and a cup was placed in front of Ran Qiuye.

Ran Qiuye naturally knows how to drink, but he doesn't drink much.

"Autumn leaves! Thank you, marry me!"

Yang Xiaotao picked up the wine glass, and in the room, the two looked at each other.

"Me, thank you too~"

Ran Qiuye said.

The meaning in the words of the two is as if there is no other party, one is not married and the other is not married.

Suddenly, the two looked at each other and smiled.

砰

The wine cups collided and Yang Xiaotao drank it all in one gulp.

Ran Qiuye just tasted it.

"Have a meal!"

"This is the fish I caught today. Let me tell you, this fish is very good. Only because your man is so powerful can he catch it!"

Yang Xiaotao put a piece of fish backbone in Ran Qiuye's bowl.

"Really! Then I want to learn too!"

Yang Xiaotao's cooking was delicious, Ran Qiuye knew it, he ate the fish leisurely, and did not forget to praise it.

"Of course it's true, but if you want to learn, you have to pay tuition!"

Ran Qiuye raised his head, saw Yang Xiaotao's appearance, thought of something embarrassing, and immediately lowered his head, "Who wants to learn!"

"Ha ha"

The two were having a cozy dinner, and Sha Zhu in the courtyard was holding peanuts, feeling depressed.

After get off work, Shazhu took his lunch box and went to the third aunt in the street office, hoping that she would find a date for him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door to explain his intention, he was squeezed out by Sangu's few words, and now Sha Zhu was completely dumbfounded.

In the courtyard, who doesn't say hello to him?

Grandpa, don't deaf old ladies always say that he respects the elderly?
And sister Xiaoqin, did you say a few words about his enthusiasm when you met him?
He has always been willing to help others!
Why is she not welcome when she comes to Sangu's place?
Also said that he has a problem?

Silly Zhu couldn't figure it out, let alone accept it.

The character he was proud of was actually despised by others, which made him unable to release his grievances. He could only close the door and drink alcohol.

His nose twitched, and the smell of burning fish came, Sha Zhu closed his eyes in discomfort.

Today, Yang Xiaotao got his certificate. Now, the two of them should be having dinner.

But for him, it was difficult to find a partner.

None of them ate together.

Thinking of the long night and the sleepless night, Sha Zhu's dull heart warmed up.

"Damn it, wait for me!"

"Look down on each of them, right, wait, wait"

After waiting for a while, Shazhu didn't say anything.

Grab the bottle and drink it down.

It's a bit cold this autumn night.

In the dark alley, in the narrow room, the dim light cannot escape the window, like a fettered chrysalis.

Li Huaide put on his clothes and smoked a cigarette beside him.

The woman in front of him made him feel like a man. This kind of feeling, this kind of dignity, can never be felt in that powerful tigress.

He stretched out his hand to pull up the woman on the bed, and looked at the charming face so close, if he couldn't keep up with his body, he really wanted to...

The woman stretched out her finger and stroked Li Huaide's cheek.

"You have to go!"

The woman's voice was full of temptation, which made Li Huaide even more reluctant.

"Yeah. I should go!"

After Li Huaide finished speaking, he pressed his palms hard.

"Today is the last time!"

The woman didn't resist, but her eyes were a little moist.

Between the two, it would be self-deception to say that there is no relationship.

But they all know that this kind of feeling is the last thing to have, because they are not the same people.

Li Huaide held the woman in his arms and rubbed it into his heart.

A long time, a long time!
stand up.

"Leave Forty-Nine City, leave here."

"Maybe, wait for me..."

Li Huaide didn't finish because he couldn't give an answer.

The woman stood up and hugged Li Huaide from behind.

"I'm leaving!"

"Don't look for me, I will never appear in front of you again..."

Li Huaide held back the tears in his eyes, let go of the woman's arm, got up and left the room.

In the room, the woman sat on the bed with a painful expression.

Beside the bed, there is a stack of various bills and a stack of money, this is all Li Huaide can give her!

"Let's go, find someone, start a family, and never come back."

Li Huaide's voice came in through the window, and the woman couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and burst into tears.

She is no longer young, this time...

Li Huaide left the alley, his hands creaking.

"You guys, ah~~"

"Wait for me!"

Siheyuan.

After receiving the certificate, it was natural for Ran Qiuye to live in the courtyard, and he had a lot of communication with the people in the courtyard on weekdays.

Although they spent most of their time in Yangjiazhuang School, the two of them got busy as their wedding day approached.

On the weekend, the two returned home to discuss the wedding.

Ran Qiuye was holding a notebook, while Yang Xiaotao stood aside thinking about something.

Yang Xiaotao has already said that the wedding will be held in the courtyard, but there will be no banquet in the courtyard.

Ran Qiuye also knew the situation in the yard, some people were just an eyesore.

Yang Xiaotao originally wanted to invite everyone to have a meal in the restaurant of the rolling mill, but considering the recent situation, he still rejected the idea.

Finally, Yang Xiaotao remembered the Yongjun restaurant he often went to. Although it was not big, it shouldn't be a problem to set four or five tables.

Yang Xiaotao went to Yongjun Restaurant while he was off work. Both husband and wife knew Yang Xiaotao and had been taking care of their business over the years.

Especially when they are in trouble, they even give a helping hand. The couple keep this kindness in their hearts.

Hearing Yang Xiaotao talk about the wedding banquet this time, he immediately agreed.

Eleventh is a big day, and there are not many people who come to eat on weekdays, not to mention that this banquet is enough for business tasks, and even half a month's performance has come out.

In this way, the venue for this banquet has been found.

"There are about ten people here, we can have a table!"

Ran Qiuye wrote down a few names on the paper, including those from her courtyard and her former friends.

Yang Xiaotao thought for a moment, and finally said while snapping his fingers.

"In this courtyard, there are two members of Uncle Chen's family! There are several factories in Wang Dashan's family. Counting the two members of the family, there must be more than 20 people! This is two tables!"

Ran Qiuye remembered, "Where's the child?"

"If the child doesn't go to the table, just follow the woman when the time comes."

Ran Qiuye nodded, "Xiaotao, how many gentlemen in this yard are not invited?"

"I heard that the third master is going to return the gift. Didn't we borrow the bicycle last time? He wants to return it!"

"No please!"

"Invite them to go, isn't it to make yourself ugly! The three uncles in this courtyard will not invite any of them. Just toss around in the courtyard and don't go out to embarrass yourself."

"Also, you don't know the meaning of Yan Fugui's call? This family is good at calculating, if you let him go, he can take the whole family with him, and you have to mess it up in the end!"

Yang Xiaotao saw through Yan Fugui's plan, and by the way, told about the last time Jia's family had full moon wine.

Let Ran Qiuye cover her mouth, she can't believe it.

"Then I won't invite you! What about the others?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "As the saying goes, white things come uninvited, but happy events are not invited. What's the situation with the other people in this yard, let them go, isn't it asking for money?"

"We can't do that!"

Yang Xiaotao is well aware of the conditions of the residents in the courtyard. These days, the men in Forty-Nine City have a good face, so who goes to drink without bringing something?With anyone?
Ran Qiuye didn't say much after hearing this, "There's also Yangjiazhuang!"

"Well, the ones from Yangjiazhuang will invite you back for a table during the Chinese New Year. I've made an agreement with my grandfather."

"This time, only Grandfather and Uncle Jiu will come up, one table is enough."

"Finally, on the factory side, I guess there will be many people here."

Yang Xiaotao patted his forehead, this person is really difficult to arrange.

"In this way, five tables are a bit less."

"No, just add another table!"

Yang Xiaotao doesn't care about the money, not to mention that the salary has been raised a lot, even the upgrade reward for the fitter, plus the ten yuan reward for fishing skills every month is enough.

Ran Qiuye didn't know about Yang Xiaotao's family background, so she was a little worried that it would be bad if she hurt her muscles and bones for this wedding.

It's just that Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything, and she didn't open her mouth either.

"I've made an agreement with the restaurant on the food, and I'll serve all the special dishes, and the money and tickets will be counted later."

"Alcohol, I asked my colleagues in the rolling mill to help me buy it. There are two bottles for each table for men and one bottle for women."

"There are also cigarettes to be prepared, and some candy to buy..."

Yang Xiaotao counted them all, Ran Qiuye figured it out in his mind, this time there were a lot of banquets.

"That's it for now, the next step is to prepare things..."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Ran Qiuye's record and continued talking.

In the room, the two discussed until midnight before going to bed.
