Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 848
Siheyuan, Siheyuan.

The weather was crisp and sunny.

At noon, the temperature rose to 25 degrees, making people in the yard take off their sweaters and woolen pants, and hide from the sun under the eaves.

Of course, not everyone is hiding from the sun.

Jia Zhang just stood in the yard with a grin, looking at the pot lid, dustpan and even a mat in front of him, smiling all over his face.

Since getting back three bags of corn kernels, everyone in Jia's family has become more comfortable.

This was the first time their family took advantage of Yang Xiaotao, and it was still so much.

Thinking that with so much food, the family will be full in the future, the smile on Jia Zhang's face is even more.

Of course, they didn't take it out right away, because it would be easy to be suspected. After all, the corn had been in front of Yang Xiaotao's house for a long time, so it was hard to guarantee that it would be seen.

Therefore, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have discussed it, and this has to be done slowly.

Therefore, for the past two days, the Jia family has been paying attention to the movement in the courtyard, and even Qin Huairu carefully pays attention to the words of the people around him, and he is relieved when he finds that no one mentions the matter of corn.

Perhaps, they all thought Yang Xiaotao put it away.

So, the two of them felt that there was nothing wrong with them today, so they didn't want to wait any longer.

There is no way to wait, after all, there is not much food in the family.

The corn kernels that have been replaced with bags are taken to the yard to be washed, and then dried in the sun for grinding.

Sure enough, someone came over to inquire about the news as soon as this happened. Qin Huairu only said that they used to put it under the bed at home, but forgot what it was, and the child hated finding it.

Although the people in the courtyard didn't believe it, and were even surprised, they didn't think the Jia family was the one who could keep the food.

However, everyone was just curious, but did not ask.

Don't meddle in the Jia family's affairs.

This is something that all the children in the courtyard know.

Therefore, in this courtyard, Xiaodang can only play with the Sophora japonica flower after losing the stick stem.

"Huairu, have you inquired about it?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at the corn kernels drying at the door, and after selection, those corns with severe mold and hair were picked out and thrown away, and there were quite a few leftovers.

It's just that these corns are generally smashed, and I don't know what kind of corn Yang Xiaotao grows. Some of them are dirty. If they don't wash them clean, can the ground noodles be eaten?
Even if you pick and choose and throw away a lot, if the rest is ground into powder, it will probably weigh four to fifty catties.

"Find out, Chu Laosan's family has a small mill outside the alley, and there are people who usually grind grain, but if we want to use it, we can just give half a catty of corn."

Qin Huairu pulled the pot with his hands, poured the washed corn on the pot lid, with a smile on his face.

Obviously, these dozens of catties of corn are like sending charcoal to them.

"I still have to collect things? The third child of Chu, our family is in such a difficult situation, why can't we grow a conscience?"

"No, I'll go and talk to him, and I won't believe that this man has no conscience and dares to take things from my old lady."

As he said that, Jiazhang walked out of the Chuihuamen with his short legs, and quickly walked out of the alley.

Qin Huairu didn't stop when she saw it, half a catty of corn was too much, enough for their family to eat.

Thinking about it, he picked up the corn in the bucket beside him.

Qin Huairu felt that the bucket of corn was a bit light, and it looked full, but it was not that heavy in his hand.

'Maybe I'm full and have strength. '

Qin Huairu didn't think much about it, just glanced at the corn, this one should be the latest one, because it is much fresher than those two bags of corn kernels, I don't understand why Yang Xiaotao threw away such good corn and buried it, what a pity .

'He who has money burns bags. '

He could only think of this reason, and then Qin Huairu didn't wash it, but just dumped the corn on the mat to dry.

"Huairu!"

The big mother came over, holding a bag of eggs in her hand.

"Big Mom!"

Qin Huairu's eyes sparkled, and he immediately stepped forward to speak.

"This is a lot of corn."

The first mother looked at the corn spread out on the ground, a little incredulous.

"Hey, isn't this still Xiaodang's play, pulled out from the bed floor, if it weren't for the two of them, we would have forgotten it."

"Really, that's great. With these grains, your family can be better off."

The aunt didn't ask and discuss. These days, if you can get food to eat, you can do it. If you eat it, it's your own. As long as you don't break the law, who cares.

"This is for Xiaodang and Huaihua. Let them replenish their bodies. They can't starve to death at such a young age."

"Mother, I thank you on behalf of the two sisters."

"You're welcome, it's in this courtyard~"

The aunt sighed with emotion, and Qin Huairu felt like a new student when she heard it, and the two held hands tightly.

"By the way, Huairu, when are you going to see the stick?"

Qin Huairu laughed and said, "The last time I went to see Banggen, this kid said he met a brother there and took good care of him."

"I don't think he looks hungry, he hasn't been there for a few days."

Qin Huairu thought of the appearance of a young adult like Banggen, and felt emotionally that his son had grown up.

After they come out, they will be able to support Jia's family.

"That's right, it seems that the stick is sensible. Do the math, the stick will be seven years old this year, and the days go by so fast."

The aunt sighed, as if in a blink of an eye, the stick had grown so big, and when the stick was born, the courtyard was very lively.

At that time, there were deaf old ladies, Jia Dongxu, Liu Haizhong, Liu Guangqi, Sha Zhu and He Yushui, Xu's family, Chen's family and her wife.

But in the blink of an eye, they were gone.

The first mother just felt that this time was too fast, so fast that she lost the taste of life.

"Yeah, sticks are seven years old, seven years."

Qin Huairu also seemed to be plucked at the heartstrings, recalling the past, with laughter and sadness, bitterness and sweetness.

But if you really want to give yourself an evaluation.

regret!

A word was born from the bottom of my heart, and then it was unspeakably sad.

All kinds of regrets.

But when it comes to the biggest, maybe.
Qin Huairu looked at the corn kernels on the ground.

What he regards as a treasure, he discards like a shoe.

This may be the gap.

"By the way, Huai Ru, next time you go and help me bring two clothes for Lao Yi. The weather is warm, so you can't wear thick clothes."

The first mother came to her senses and said to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu nodded immediately after hearing this, "Okay, let me tell you in advance when I go next time."

The first mother nodded, handed the eggs to Qin Huairu, then turned and went home.

Qin Huairu walked into the house with the egg, and told Xiao Dang to take care of the Sophora japonica, so as not to break it.

Then after thinking for a while, he pulled out a few unlined clothes from the kitchen, sniffed them, threw them into the basin, and put them under the faucet.

This time, this faucet is for her.

At noon, when we eat.

Qin Huairu dried the washed clothes and was about to go back to the house when she saw Qin Jingru coming out from the moon gate in the distance, holding her belly with one hand and raising her face high.

Seeing Qin Jingru like this, Qin Huairu felt aggrieved.

It's also pregnant and giving birth, so it doesn't matter if I'm not as good as Ran Qiuye, after all, Yang Xiaotao's animal is too strong, earning so much, it's nothing to eat.

But she, Qin Jingru, is a country bumpkin, and it's totally unreasonable for her to live such a life with her luck.

This guy, with his appearance, must be going to a restaurant again.

snort!
Qin Huairu snorted coldly, and went back to the house with the basin in her arms.

Qin Jingru glanced at Qin Huairu who was leaving, rolled his big eyes upwards, and didn't bother to answer.

But seeing the clothes drying on the rope, Qin Jingru frowned again.

"If you don't change your mind, you still want to do something good? Hmph."

He turned around and walked towards the Chuhuamen, patting his stomach while walking, "If silly Zhu dares to give money, I won't let him touch it next time."

As the sun set, the corner of the eye fell on the truck, leaving a long shadow behind it.

"Coming!"

Yang Xiaotao stood in the cart, holding on to the front handrail, and Wang Huzi was also standing beside him.

The two held cigarettes in their hands and looked forward, where there was a canal.

"Yes, after here, there are still three miles to go."

The last time Yang Xiaotao came, he entered from here.

The difference is that the person who picked him up last time and the person who said this to him are gone.

However, this time he is back.

Yang Xiaotao said to Wang Hao and the others in the car, and soon there was the sound of movement in the car.

This truck is more tiring than the train.

Especially the undulating road, the bumps made them feel sick.

Now it's finally here, don't have to continue to suffer.

The car drove for another 3 minutes, and a protective fence appeared in front of it, and there were two stone-tired sentry towers, on which someone was shouting.

Obviously the lights of the car were spotted by them, and then they saw the faintly lit lights.

"arrive!"

Seeing someone standing at the gate of the farm with a car parked aside, Wang Huzi jumped out of the car first, followed by Yang Xiaotao.

"Chief!"

The leader is Ma Sanxing, the farm leader Yang Xiaotao is familiar with, and behind him is Mazi, who is also the new farm owner after the death of Captain Mu.

Wang Huzi nodded, and Yang Xiaotao stepped forward.

"Captain! Mazi!"

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and was also excited to see Yang Xiaotao and the two of them.

Those who survived that attack, they were very excited to meet again.

"Mr. Yang, if you come, we will be in control."

Ma Sanxing held Yang Xiaotao's hand and spoke affirmatively.

"Yes, we are looking forward to your coming every day."

"I'm sorry to waste everyone's time. Some things have been held up and made everyone wait for a long time."

Yang Xiaotao's excited speech was confused, but the meaning was conveyed very clearly.

"No, no, we'll be fine later, as long as you come, Mr. Yang, we, we guys, will have a solid mind."

A voice came from behind Ma Sanxing, and only then did Yang Xiaotao see clearly that the group of people standing behind turned out to be the academy he taught last time.

Hurry up and shake hands one by one, "When did you guys come?"

The dozen or so people were very excited, and the leader showed his teeth with a smile, "We came here two days ago when we were notified, just waiting for you to direct us to the battlefield."

"Hahaha"

"Okay. At that time, we will win a big battle and let the leader celebrate for us."

"Hahaha"

Yang Xiaotao met everyone, and introduced Hou Lijing and the others.

Knowing that this is the technical guidance sent by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, everyone respects it.

"Okay, let's arrange accommodation first, we're going to have a big fight tomorrow."

Wang Huzi said on the sidelines, the bones of the road were bumpy and loose.

"Yes, yes, come in quickly, we have prepared a meal, and everyone will rest after eating."

Ma Sanxing stretched aside.

Everyone entered the room, Wang Huzi and Yang Xiaotao sat down next to each other, Wang Hao, Hou Lijing and the driver Xiao Wu, a total of eight people filled the kang.

The old man on the farm put a bowl of steamed buns with Erhe noodles in the middle of the table, then put a bowl of radish soaked in soy sauce aside, and a bowl of water in front of each person.

This is a good dinner.
