Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 291
Yang Xiaotao led Ran Qiuye around, drank a lot of wine, and Ran Qiuye also drank some, his face flushed.

The banquet didn't end until the afternoon, and some people had already left early during the period.

When Yang Xiaotao sent Yang Youning off, he wanted to ask about the young man's details.

Unexpectedly, Yang Youning told him with a serious face, "Honestly, I don't know, but I know, about them, don't ask, and don't inquire about them."

Yang Xiaotao understood immediately, and kept the matter to himself.

After it was over, he went back to the courtyard and tidied up a little. Finally, Yang Xiaotao sent Mr. Yang to the donkey cart. The old men drank a lot, but they insisted on going back.

The village is harvesting corn, and there must be no shortage of people at this time.

After Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye saw Mrs. Yang off, they had a leisurely meeting.

Looking at Ran Qiuye's appearance, Yang Xiaotao knew that he had suffered a lot.

In the previous life, I heard that getting married is tiring and tiring, but I have realized it in this life.

I got up early in the morning to prepare, and after a busy day, my feet are now on the ground.

Yang Xiaotao walked up to Ran Qiuye, put his arms in his arms, and lay on the bed like this.

It was still dark, and the two had already fallen asleep.

On the other side, people who returned to the courtyard began to tell about the wedding banquet.

All the dishes on the table were talking with gusto, and the mouths of those who listened were drooling and gurgling.

Some even brought back the leftovers and yelled at those close to them to have another drink at night.

And the biggest melon among them is the radio.

No need to ask, everyone made up their minds, and they must be going to Yang Xiaotao.

After Yi Zhonghai came back, he heard the surprised words of the big mother, and couldn't help but take a breath.

"Has Yang Xiaotao grown to this extent?"

"hiss……"

Looking in the direction of Yang Xiaotao's house, Yi Zhonghai silently lowered his head.

Silly Zhu came back from the courtyard with a pig's tongue in his hand.

Yesterday he knew that Yang Xiaotao was not going to hold a banquet in the courtyard, so his thoughts dissipated, and then he felt aggrieved that he didn't take advantage of it.

However, there is no such thing as Yang Xiaotao and a big dog. As a well-known cook, many people get married during this kind of festival, so naturally they have to go out to earn some extra money.

No, the pig's tongue in my hand is only a part, and the five yuan of hard-earned money is the big head when I'm pregnant.

Just returning to the yard, Sha Zhu's good mood suddenly disappeared.

Three revolutions and one sound came alive.

How the hell is he going to find a wife?
His family didn't even get a bicycle.

In the room, He Yushui was sitting in front of the window, and when he saw Silly Zhu walking in, he hurried forward.

"Brother, when will you promise me?"

Sha Zhu looked at his own sister in front of him, feeling annoyed.

It took more than half a year for a bicycle, and every time I heard it, I felt uncomfortable.

How could he, silly, shorten her bicycle?

It's just that it's really hard to get a bicycle ticket!
"I'll get it for you in two days!"

Silly Zhu perfunctory, He Yushui curled her lips in disdain, how many times she has heard this, if it wasn't for saving face in the partner's house, she wouldn't be so anxious.

"Brother, you have to hurry up. My..."

"I know, I know…"

Silly Zhu felt even more depressed!
"Eat, eat, eat, eat you to death! Heartless dog..."

Jia Zhang's triangular eyes spewed out anger at the busy people in the courtyard, and almost spat out acid water from jealousy.

Jia Zhang yelled and cursed in the yard, but no one paid any attention to her, so it was just a barking dog.

At night, Jia Dongxu came back from the outside, recently earned some extra money, and became generous with a few cronies.

With a cigarette in his mouth, he walked quickly to the house.

Today is the day to eat meat.

However, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the reluctance on Banggen's face, and Mrs. Jia Zhang sat on the bed sullenly.

Beside her, Qin Huairu lowered her head even more, her teeth aching.

This morning I went to the Pigeon Market on purpose to buy some meat for the tooth festival. Yang Xiaotao didn't invite them to eat meat, they just bought it themselves.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at Pigeon Market, all the butcher sellers disappeared on weekdays. After inquiring, I found out that the butcher sellers were all arrested last time.

After searching around, there was finally a stall with a few pieces of meat on display, but the price was astonishingly high when asked.

The money that could have bought two taels of meat could not be bought now, so Qin Huairu was so frightened that he hurriedly left, not daring to stay.

I bought a few eggs in a hurry before returning home.

"It's okay. I'll get some more next time. Anyway, it's a long-term deal. I'll buy it in two days!"

Jia Dongxu opened his mouth to comfort Qin Huairu, but the latter could only agree.

As for Yang Xiaotao, he didn't even want to mention this person.

After the family finished eating, they went to bed early, but Jia Dongxu smeared Qin Huairu's waist, half pushed and half got off, and the two rolled together.

"Fox Meizi, it's spring again..."

Not far away, Jia Zhang felt uncomfortable hearing the voice.

"Those two old people, why don't you hurry up and leave the house for us to live in!"

"They're all old bastards..."

In the Yang family, Yang Xiaotao also got up and cooked a pot of noodles, fried two eggs, and a piece of ham sausage.

Ran Qiuye took a nap, recovered, and was hungry.

After eating at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, the two of them finished their meal, and Yang Xiaotao began to count the harvest.

Ran Qiuye on the side was holding a notebook to record, these are all favors that will be returned in the future.

After counting for a while, Yang Xiaotao sorted out the money, and Ran Qiuye also calculated the total.

"A total of 160 yuan and [-] cents!"

As Ran Qiuye spoke, Yang Xiaotao nodded.

The third grandpa’s house in the front yard is not much more than 100 yuan. I was able to collect so much this time, but it was factory manager Yang and the others who took the lion’s share. With ten yuan per person, a few people accounted for one-third.

The rest of the people are just [-] cents.

Of course, the biggest gain this time was the radio.

Not only save money, but more importantly, tickets are also saved.

Just don't know who sent it.

"Qiuye, you keep the money."

Yang Xiaotao handed the money to Ran Qiuye, who nodded and put the money in a wooden box.

Yang Xiaotao looked at it, thinking that he still needed a lock. After all, there was a "practicing" thief saint in the courtyard, so he had to guard against it.

"Master, who do you think sent this radio?"

Ran Qiuye fiddled with the radio, but of course there was no outlet for it at the moment, and there was no station to listen to it now.

Yang Xiaotao looked at it carefully for a while. This radio is a Shanghai brand 131, orange in color, not small in size, but it is a good thing in this era.

Thinking of Yang Youning's instructions, "I don't know either!"

"However, since it was given to us, we will use it, no matter who he is."

Seeing this, Ran Qiuye also nodded in response.

Yang Xiaotao walked to the side and grabbed Ran Qiuye with his arms.

"Daughter-in-law, this is for you!"

Yang Xiaotao took out a jade tablet, but it was a relic left by the original owner's mother. In the memory of the original owner, this jade pendant is very important and profound.

He also made some investigations and asked the people in Yangjiazhuang to know about his mother, but most of them only knew that his mother had fled from a disaster back then, and when he met his father, he became a family.

Even Mr. Yang is not very clear.

Yang Xiaotao felt that this should be a token of his mother's recognition of relatives. As for where to recognize relatives and whether there are relatives, it can only be left to chance.

Ran Qiuye looked curiously at the jade token passed up by the red string.

After Yang explained, Ran Qiuye solemnly put the red string around his neck, the red string hung on his snow-white neck, and the white jade pendant was stuffed into the neckline.

In just a split second, Yang Xiaotao saw the snow-white skin through the neckline, and the jade pendant had disappeared into the mountains.

Yang Xiaotao immediately stepped forward and picked up Ran Qiuye from the chair.

"Daughter-in-law, it's time to sleep..."

The next day, Yang Xiaotao got up to go to work, and Ran Qiuye was packing things at home.

Uncle Chen's family next door is about to leave, and they are dealing with their belongings these days, and Ran Qiuye is helping.

Now, Ran Qiuye has gained a firm foothold in the courtyard and started living in the courtyard.

Especially when there are such good things as sewing machines and radios at home, people often come and go when Ran Qiuye is at home.

Among them, Wang Dashan's family is the most diligent. Their family has a good relationship with Yang Xiaotao, and they went to Ran's family to make an appointment, so the relationship between the two parties will naturally go further.

Secondly, the family members of the rolling mill, they all know that Yang Xiaotao's current status does not need to care about their feelings, but they need to curry favor with Yang Xiaotao.

It's just that Yang Xiaotao usually shows that he doesn't get close to strangers, and he doesn't get close to people in the yard. There are a few, and he doesn't associate with others.

But Ran Qiuye is different, she has a tactful temperament and is kind to others, she can say a few words to anyone, even Qin Huairu who has been targeted before, she can say hello when they meet.

Not to mention Lou Xiao'e in the backyard, since Ran Qiuye's arrival, the relationship between the two has heated up rapidly, and they don't know where the common topic came from.

Yu Li from the front yard also came to visit from time to time, sitting with Lou Xiaoe and Ran Qiuye, talking and laughing.

Gradually, in the constant communication, Ran Qiuye's attitude towards life, persistence and principles of dealing with others have also become known to everyone.

With word of mouth, the reputation spread quickly, and there was a faint gesture of wrestling with Qin Huairu, a model worker in the courtyard.

Regarding Ran Qiuye's sudden emergence, Qin Huairu naturally would not admit defeat, let alone sit and wait for death.

Although she doesn't have as many resources as Ran Qiuye, and she doesn't have a lot of cultural background, she also has her own advantages, that is, her contacts and daily friendship, and the reputation she has accumulated over the years.

Under the joint promotion of Jia's family, Shazhu's family and Da Ye's family, Qin Huairu's reputation for being diligent and kind, and respecting the elderly continues to build.

Nowadays, any house in the courtyard will go up to help if there is something to do. She is a very enthusiastic young woman.

The contest between the two parties, either intentionally or unintentionally, actually collided with the sparks of competition in this small courtyard, and became the talk of the people in the courtyard after dinner.

It also made the whole yard become restless.

Yang Xiaotao was also aware of this, but he didn't take it to heart.

Let Ran Qiuye do his best, and he doesn't care about what will happen in the end. It's best to get along well.

It doesn't matter if they don't get along well, he didn't pay attention to these people in the first place.

If you provoke him, fist is not a vegetarian.

But now it seems that the daughter-in-law I found is not only gentle and intellectual, but also has her own persistence.

With the help of the sewing machine and the radio, Yang Xiaotao clearly felt that Ran Qiuye was "forming a clique". The few families that originally surrounded Yang Xiaotao had formed a solid circle through the "Madam's Route".

Now he dared to say that if Yang Xiaotao held any general meeting again, this group of people would stand by his side without Yang Xiaotao speaking.

This is the heart of the people.

And Ran Qiuye was the focus of maintaining the hearts of the people.

After knowing this, Yang Xiaotao was relieved, "There are three generations of good wives in my family, so I will not deceive me!"
