Scholars in the courtyard.

At noon, the place where a pig can eat is cleaned up, and everyone goes home to work, and waits for dinner together in the evening.

When Yang Xiaotao and Mrs. Yang went home, Ran Qiuye cooked two dishes, and the two drank peanuts first.

After taking two sips, Yang Xiaotao talked about the rolling mill and brought out the good news.

"Let me see!"

Grandpa Yang wiped his hands, took the happy news carefully, and opened it gently, his expression no less excited than Ran Qiuye's.

"Ha, yes, yes."

"This thing, frame it and put it at home."

Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye have no idea about this, they can put this thing anywhere.

And if you put it here, you don't have to worry about being stolen by others.

After dinner, Mr. Yang talked about pressing the well.

In the past few days, the village has set up the wooden frame of the pressurized well according to Yang Xiaotao, and it works well after trying it.

People from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences also came down to look at it, and after the new year, more pressurized wells will be delivered, and the surrounding villages can also use them.

"Recently, we are discussing the construction of waterways, using wells as nodes in the land, and using waterways to connect the well water." Mr. Yang rubbed his knees, "It will be easier to irrigate the wells and reduce losses."

Then Mrs. Yang also talked about the difficulties in the village.

The construction of the water channel is not just a random ditch on the ground, it needs to be built with stones, turning heads, and cement. Although it does not need to be too deep, it can effectively avoid the waste of water.

It's just that the materials for this construction are not easy to find, and it takes up space.

Some people in the village agree, some disagree, and they have not made up their minds yet.

Yang Xiaotao listened and nodded. Later generations used leather pipes for watering, in order to save water consumption.

But now, how can there be a leather tube?
"Grandfather, if we can't do it, we can use wood or bamboo to break through. There is always a way."

Yang Xiaotao thought for a while and expressed his opinion. In his previous life, he saw that bamboo was used to divert water in many places in the south, so he said it after thinking about it.

When Grandpa Yang heard this, he felt that he could try it, so he got up and went to discuss it with Yang Dazhuang.

There really is a bamboo forest in this area, just pick some at that time.

After Mr. Yang left, Yang Xiaotao started to tidy up the house, and Ran Qiuye helped wipe the furniture, and then the two started to paste couplets.

This is how Chinese New Year is, say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and clean up to celebrate the new year.

Siheyuan.

Sha Zhu returned home in a daze, smelling the smell of vinegar in the yard, and still had that sentence in his mind, playing tricks.

Pull the gangster.

That's something a man who can't marry a wife will do if he has no choice.

But he, He Yuzhu, couldn't find a wife?

Did he do this to Jia's family to help him?

Sha Zhu sat on the stool with a dazed expression, unable to even hear the sound of firecrackers outside.

I even forgot the time, forgot that today is New Year's Eve.

I forgot to post couplets, and even more forgot to promise Yi Zhonghai to keep the New Year's Eve, and Qin Huairu to make dumplings together
"No, no, I'm not playing tricks."

"I'm not, I'm just"

Silly Zhu suddenly wakes up, he likes Qin Huairu, and wants to kiss Fangze, even the dark side of psychology, but he never wants to be a gangster.

Even if Jia Dongxu is gone, he doesn't want to.

He is still young.

Silly Zhu clenched his fists and looked at himself in the mirror.

A sloppy look.

"I want to marry a daughter-in-law. I want to start a family. I want to have a woman. I want to have sons. I want to have many sons."

Silly Zhu muttered in his mouth and kept repeating, like a puppet.

"Zhuzi, why are you closing the door at home?"

Yi Zhonghai walked in at the door, and it was New Year's Eve in broad daylight. Silly Zhu closed the door, and he felt something was wrong. He just got the couplet here, so he came over to check the situation.

Looking at the silly Zhu who was sitting on the stool without moving, Yi Zhonghai frowned and put down the couplet.

"Pillar, what are you thinking?"

He stretched out his hand and patted Sha Zhu's shoulder, and Sha Zhu woke up like a dream.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai, he forced a smile on his lips.

"Master, when did you come?"

"When did I walk in, didn't you watch?"

"Ah, no, I didn't see it."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu, and thought of something, "Yu Shui is married, so I feel bad."

Silly Zhu heard the words and didn't say much.

But in the bottom of my heart, I suddenly seemed to have lost something, empty.

"It's all like this. A married girl throws water out. In the past, when this woman got married, she took her husband's family name, and she pretended to have another family in her heart."

Yi Zhonghai took out a cigarette and asked Shazhu to light it.

"My uncle knows that you have caused the rain all these years, and your elder brother is like a father. You must be disappointed in your heart."

Silly Zhu was smoking a cigarette and coughing continuously.

But there is no explanation.

"It's okay, it will be fine in two days."

"You have to think about it this way. Men should be married when they are colleges and girls should be married when they are colleges. Yushui should get married, and she has her own happiness. You should bless her."

Yi Zhonghai followed Sha Zhu while observing his expression.

Seeing the realization of Shazhu's "emphasis on love and righteousness", he is more satisfied psychologically.

Such a person is his choice.

Perhaps, he should have directly chosen Sha Zhu instead of the Jia family. He couldn't even throw away that mess now.

After smoking a cigarette, Shazhu came back to his senses.

He Yushui has her happiness, but what about her own happiness?

Qin Huairu?
Maybe he had faint thoughts before, but today He Yushui's hoarse voice made him understand.

He, He Yuzhu, must not be used as a helper.

Even if the Jia family agreed, he would not choose.

Qin Huairu is good, but she cannot be a daughter-in-law.

Thinking of this, Sha Zhu's expression became serious again.

At this moment, Silly Zhu re-established his path of life.

"Master, don't worry, I'm just a little emotional. It's okay."

"Yu Shui is married, and it's time for me to think about my own affairs."

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai was somewhat relieved by the first sentence, but the latter sentence made him vigilant.

"Zhuzi, what's the matter with you?"

"Hey, grandpa, it's natural to get married and have a baby."

Silly Zhu smiled confidently, "I've seen through it all these years. If you can't be high or low, I won't dance anymore. I'll go to Sangu after the new year and talk about it, and try to get things done next year."

As the silly Zhu said, Yi Zhonghai's mind was clouded. If this silly Zhu found a wife, then...
In an instant, Yi Zhonghai panicked, not knowing what to say.

"Grandpa, I'll go to the backyard and talk to the old lady, and post couplets on her by the way."

Saying that, Sha Zhu got up, picked up the couplet and walked towards the backyard.

Yi Zhonghai watched Shazhu leave, and walked home full of worries.

Silly Zhu is looking for a wife.

He felt that things were getting out of control again.

As night fell, the yard was replaced with red clothes, and the red couplets set off a beautiful meaning.

The children in the yard ran in piles, and accidentally bumped into adults, and then laughed.

pop
The small firecrackers continued to explode, and a group of children surrounded the protagonist, clamoring to play with firecrackers.

Stick and Xiao Dang stood at the door, looking out of place.

In this yard, I don't play much with them.

At this moment, there is no attraction of small firecrackers, and no one steps forward to play.

What's more, the coughing sound of the two from time to time also made the adults ask their children not to approach.

"Brother, I want a small cannon."

Xiao Dang said enviously, Banggan coughed twice, and his eyes were also longing, but he knew that his family had no money, "Our family has no money, so we can't buy it."

"Yan Jiekuang has a lot of small cannons."

Xiao Dang said aggrievedly, and Bang Geng looked at the members of Yan's family with envy in his eyes.

It's just that people don't play with them at all.

Glancing at the silly Zhu's house next door, Bang Gon thought of something, "Xiao Dang, you wait, I'll go and pay, asking for money."

Xiao Dang looked at the stick, and didn't ask how she wanted the money, anyway, she just wanted to spend it.

Bang Jiao asked Xiao Dang to go home and wait, and ran into Sha Zhu's house alone.

砰

"Silly Zhu, open the door."

Banggen didn't expect Shazhu to close the door, he could go in anytime before.

"Little bastard, what are you shouting for?"

Silly Zhu had just finished taking a shower, and was shivering from the cold, and was currently putting on his pants.

"Silly Zhu, open the door quickly."

Bang Geng shouted at the door, Qin Huairu in the room was chopping meat and preparing to make dumplings.

Cook it out in advance, let Sha Zhu go to the hospital, we must not forget Jia Zhang and the others.

Now Qin Huairu frowned when he heard Banggen's cry, how many times has Banggen told him, if he wants to be called Uncle He, how can he be called Shazhu.

However, seeing Shazhu open the door and stick and walk in, Qin Huairu suddenly felt that Bang and Shazhu were very pleasing to the eye.

"Silly Zhu, what are you doing at home, you haven't opened the door for so long."

Stick looked around, his eyes glanced at the place where Shazhu put the money, he had already figured out there, but he didn't dare to move before.

Silly Zhu looked at Banggen with his eyes squinted, and his face was startled, "Banggen, what are you looking at?"

"Hey, no, I wish you New Year's greetings in advance."

Sticking said, he immediately walked up to Shazhu and kowtowed.

"Silly Uncle, Happy New Year."

"Silly uncle, I wish you well."

bang bang
The stick kowtowed, but it confused Sha Zhu, but he quickly pulled up the stick.

"Bastard, it's not the time yet, what's the trouble?"

"No, that's right, I just wish you New Year's greetings and ask for some lucky money."

"New Year's money?"

Silly Zhu looked at the stick, was about to speak, then looked at the door, "Did your mother ask you to come?"

Stick immediately nodded.

"Hey, New Year's money."

Silly Zhu didn't think much about it, he dug out his pocket and took twenty cents, "You're a pawn, don't be greedy?"

"will not."

Bang Geng took the money and ran away, Sha Zhu shook his head behind him, "Little bastard."

After a while, Silly Zhu started cooking, but saw Qin Huairu walk in.

"Zhuzi, Banggan came to ask for money? Don't spoil him from now on."

"Sister Qin, are you alright? Don't freeze in this cold weather."

Silly Zhu saw Qin Huairu, said it on his lips, but in his heart he wanted to play tricks, and began to keep his distance.

"It's okay, just move around, it's almost done." Qin Huairu leaned forward, smiling with big eyes, "I'm talking about sticky things, you have to help take care of them in the future, so you can't develop bad habits."

"No way, isn't this New Year's money? Children like to have fun."

Qin Huairu smiled, looking at Silly Zhu, he felt that he was very energetic.

"Zhuzi, the dumplings made by my sister happened to be ready for the big mom, so I called the old lady and the old man to my house tonight for a New Year's Eve dinner."

When Sha Zhu heard it, he felt nothing, so he also agreed, "Okay, I'll carry the old lady on my back."

"No hurry, you, you have to go to the hospital first and help me take the dumplings."

"This, I"

Sha Zhu was a little embarrassed, who would go to the hospital for the Chinese New Year?

Qin Huairu saw that Sha Zhu was unwilling to talk to him, so he immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand to hold Sha Zhu's arm, "Then I'll take it? It's dark outside, if Sister Qin..."

Qin Huairu was still talking, but Shazhu inadvertently opened the distance.

"Zhuzi, you can help sister."

Seeing Sha Zhu's refusal, Qin Huairu stepped forward again, this time holding Sha Zhu's arm directly, begging even more.

Sha Zhu only felt that his arms were soft and his side was fragrant, and his originally firm will began to waver.

"I"

"You just go there, and you don't have much time, and you'll be back soon." Qin Huairu continued, seeing that Shazhu still didn't speak, his face turned cold, "Forget it, if you don't go, I'll go find the uncle. "

"Master? Forget it, let me go."

In the end, Shazhu still agreed to this matter.

Qin Huairu smiled when she saw it, and Shazhu was also infected, feeling inexplicably relieved.

Yi Zhonghai had been sitting by the window since he came back from Sha Zhu's place, and the big mother beside him didn't dare to ask, and just lay down and rested.

But from his eyes, it can be seen that his heart is full of anxiety.

Silly Zhu's state made him feel inappropriate.

Of course, he didn't know that Shazhu was stimulated by the gangsters, and he thought it was because He Yushui got married and Shazhu was anxious.

But such a thing also made him feel critical.

What if Silly Zhu really finds a wife?What should Qin Huairu do?Where will the future children come from?

Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu's family in a daze, and the aunt didn't dare to ask more after seeing him.

It wasn't until Qin Huairu went to Sha Zhu's house that Yi Zhonghai's expression softened.

After all, this woman is quite capable, and besides, she must have other thoughts at this time.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai's eyes shone brightly.

Sure enough, through the window, he could see the movements of Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, especially Qin Huairu's tugging. Sha Zhu resisted a little at first, but soon surrendered. The two talked and laughed, and returned to normal.

At this moment, the stone in Yi Zhonghai's heart loosened, and he looked at Sha Zhu with more confidence.

Just these 3 minutes of heat?
Ha ha.

"Pillar, the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change."

"You still, accept your fate!"
