Scholars in the courtyard

Arriving at the steel rolling mill, Yang Xiaotao frowned as soon as he entered the workshop.

The workload has not been heavy recently, and many people have left their workstations to gather together, talking and laughing, as if life is just like this. They get a fixed salary every month, and it doesn't matter whether they work or not.

Yang Xiaotao understood what these people were thinking. After all, he had experienced this in his previous life.

But in this world, there are some things he knows.

Difficulties are only temporary, as long as you get through them, you will be on your way to success.

Therefore, he doesn't care what others do, but he has to say a few words to a few close people.

Now, Yang Xiaotao also has a speaking position in these three workshops.

This status is not only the ability of a fourth-level fitter, but also the performance of climbing up with a group of low-level employees. In addition, there is also his popularity, and the bottles and jars he brings have never been stingy.

Just because of this matter, a person in the courtyard repeatedly publicized it in the courtyard, giving those beasts that did not take advantage of it a beating.

Even Yi Zhonghai looked for him several times and asked him to take care of someone in the courtyard.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know how he had the nerve to say this, or was it that these people had their own aura of protagonists and everyone had to revolve around them?

Yang Xiaotao ignored him, which made people in the courtyard complain even more.

When he came to Xing Jiaqi's workstation, Yang Xiaotao stretched out his hand and saw a black line on his finger, and his face immediately fell.

Xing Jiaqi was talking and laughing with Zhou Peng, but when she saw Yang Xiaotao's appearance, she immediately panicked and ran over.

"Tao, Brother Tao!"

Yang Xiaotao glared at him, "You don't want to do it anymore? Or do you think you don't need to learn anymore?"

"No, no, no, Brother Tao, I don't!"

Xing Jiaqi was so ashamed that he couldn't even speak clearly. Wang Fa, Li Wei and others also came over.

Everyone is aware of the recent situation in the workshop. The order volume has dropped sharply. The sequelae of the Great Leap Forward are already showing signs, and there is nothing they can do.

"Xiao Tao!"

After Che Wenwei learned about the situation, he was ready to say a few words for Xing Jiaqi, but was stopped by Wang Fa.

"Xiao Tao is right. In our craft, practice makes perfect. If you don't practice it for a day, you will become rusty. After a long time, it will become useless."

"You are still young and there is still room for advancement. If you waste your skills like this, you will regret it later."

The hearts of several people that were originally floating immediately sank to the bottom in front of the two of them.

Yang Xiaotao watched a few people lower their heads and couldn't say much.

Take a deep breath, "Everyone has the right to choose."

"But every choice represents a different future."

"Have you ever thought about what you will do in the future?"

The people around were suddenly stunned.

Perhaps, life is neither busy nor tiring now. I can barely put food in my stomach and make ends meet at home.

Everything is forced, everything makes sense.

But, what about the future?

Like this all your life?

Not to mention Zhou Peng and the others, even Wang Fa and the others were also deep in thought.

Yang Xiaotao walked back to his work station, packed up his belongings and started working.

In fact, there is no mission for him, and what Yang Xiaotao is doing now is practicing.

Practice with the workpieces you have learned to ensure that your hands are not unfamiliar.

"From now on, I will explain an artifact every week. If you want to hear it, you can come and learn it."

Yang Xiaotao lowered his head to practice and said calmly.

In an instant, everyone's eyes flashed brightly.

While Yang Xiaotao was at work, Liu Guangqi walked into the courtyard with a girl.

Speaking of which, since Yang Xiaotao broke his arm last time, Liu Guangqi has been out and about in the courtyard. He doesn't hang around the yard on weekdays. Even when he goes to work, he leaves early and comes home late.

And every time Yang Xiaotao met him, I thought he would speak harshly and show his hatred.

But in fact, Liu Guangqi didn't even look at him, let alone stay.

What I see occasionally is just indifference.

This point is what Yang Xiaotao wants.

Watching Liu Guangqi walking back to the courtyard with a girl, the front and middle courtyards he passed by immediately started to boil.

Now there are several young people of appropriate age in the courtyard, including Yan Jiecheng in the front yard, Shazhu and Yang Xiaotao in the middle yard, and Liu Guangqi in the backyard.

Among them, Yang Xiaotao and Shazhu in the middle courtyard had a blind date, and Yan Jiecheng in the front courtyard also wanted to go on a blind date, but was stopped by Yan Fugui. Now that there is not enough food at home, it would be okay if he opened his mouth more.

So Yan Jiecheng's blind date was postponed indefinitely.

What I didn't expect this time was that Liu Guangqi found a partner, and it was really surprising that he did it quietly.

Mrs. Jia Zhang, who was looking after the children in the middle courtyard, looked at the pretty girl who walked in, curled her lips, and she still recognized Qin Huairu's appearance from the bottom of her heart.

When the two of them left the central courtyard, they immediately raised their eyes and said, "You can tell from his appearance that he belongs to a poor household. Hehe, we have to have many desperate households in our courtyard."

The aunt in the courtyard happened to come out to see what was going on. When she heard what Jia Zhang said, her expression immediately changed and she returned to the house with a cold snort.

Jia Zhang glanced at the eldest mother's house and didn't care. Who allowed him to have a son and grandson?

Just like that, no one in this courtyard can compare with her?

Liu Guangqi and the girl walked to the backyard and introduced the situation in the courtyard along the way.

When I arrived at the door, I saw an old deaf lady sunbathing.

Normally, Liu Guangqi would just say hello, but today it was his first time here, so he had to introduce him anyway.

"Yunfang, this is the old lady in the courtyard."

"Old lady, this is Ye Yunfang, my friend."

The deaf old lady looked up at the girl, "What? Sister?"

The deaf old lady's ears don't work well again.

"my friend!"

"Oh, your colleague."

"This old lady's ears don't work. Let's go home."

The girl glanced at the deaf old lady and didn't ask any questions. She seemed very introverted.

After the two of them entered the house, the deaf old lady muttered, "Si Zhu doesn't have a partner yet, but you are too impatient."

"mom!"

Liu Guangqi, who entered the house, shouted to the second aunt who was cleaning the room. The second aunt looked up and saw the girl behind her.

"Guangqi, what is this?"

"Mom, this is my friend."

Liu Guangqi let the girl behind him out.

"Hello, aunt!"

The girl's voice is very soft and gentle.

"Ah, oh, hello, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."

The second aunt was polite, but she was unprepared. Liu Guangqi didn't say anything in advance, so why did he bring the girl back?

Full of questions, but with enthusiasm on his face, he asked me to sit down and drink water.

On the other side, Liu Guangfu, who was at home, also saw his boss bringing a girl back with a little envy in his eyes.

"Go and ask your dad to come back quickly after get off work."

The second aunt said a few words, and Liu Guangfu reluctantly left and walked to the steel rolling mill.

In the room, Liu Guangqi introduced Ye Yunfang's situation. The second aunt listened carefully and planned to report to the second uncle in the evening.

The girl Ye Yunfang, a native of Yuncheng, Shanxi Province, came to the Sijiucheng Textile Factory to study this time, and the two met by accident.

The two were similar in age, and Liu Guangqi had a special feeling for the girl, so he started chasing her.

The girl was gradually moved by Liu Guangqi. After dating for more than half a month, she finally agreed to come to meet Liu Guangqi's family.

Liu Guangqi came back today to show off his cards.

When the second aunt heard the girl talking about Shanxi, she felt unwilling in her heart.

These days, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. This son has married a daughter-in-law who is far away. What should he do if he returns to his parents' home in the future?

How will you support your retirement in the future?

The second aunt thought more. The girl was not from Sijiucheng. After marrying, her identity was an issue.

My own family has always looked down on the Jia family. When they talked about finding a foreign wife, the second aunt had already imagined the second uncle's anger when he found out about this.

The second aunt was usually less scheming, and everything she was thinking showed on her face. Now the girl immediately felt strange and alienated.

Seeing his mother like this, Liu Guangqi took advantage of the time of pouring water to come together.

"Guangqi, tell me the truth, are you attracted to this girl?"

Before Liu Guangqi could speak, the second aunt asked first.

"Yes, I like her, and she likes me."

Liu Guangqi said affirmatively.

"You, you!"

The second aunt didn't know what to say, "Let's wait until your father comes back."

Liu Guangqi knew as soon as he heard this that he disagreed, and he held a breath in his heart.

The two returned to the table, but the atmosphere was not harmonious.

There was silence in the room. The girl felt strange and lowered her head, not daring to look at the second aunt.

Liu Guangqi was suffering in his heart. He didn't want the girl to be wronged, especially from her parents.

"Aunt, I, I'm leaving first."

After all, the girl was a bit thin-skinned, so she only sat for a short while before getting up and preparing to say goodbye.

"good!"

The second aunt spit out a word from her throat without a smile on her face.

The girl was even more embarrassed, got up and walked out.

"Xiaofang, wait, I'll see you off."

Liu Guangqi glared at the second aunt and quickly ran up to see her off.

When Liu Guangqi came back, he looked angry.

"Mom, why are you putting on such a bad face?"

"You still don't know what I'm doing?"

"How do I know? I brought my girlfriend back, and you have this attitude?"

"What's wrong with my attitude? Isn't it obvious yet? Guangqi, you are the eldest son of our family. You will provide for us until the end of your life. You find a wife who is thousands of miles away. If you have something to do, you will go back. Your father and I what to do?"

The second aunt spoke earnestly, but she didn't see Liu Guangtian in the room, with a look of resentment on his face.

Liu Guangqi is a son, but he is not?

Just don't use him to support your old age when the time comes.

After hearing this, Liu Guangqi ran into the house with anger on his face without looking back.

In the evening, when Yang Xiaotao came home from get off work and walked all the way back to the courtyard, it was already dark.

As soon as he sat down at home, he heard a roar coming from the backyard. Yang Xiaotao didn't pay attention. After all, this was Liu Haizhong's way of educating his children, and outsiders couldn't say much about it.

After only listening for a while, Yang Xiaotao realized something was wrong.

Usually the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were beaten. Why did they become Liu Guangqi now?

This is the pet peeve of the old couple, how could they be willing to fight?

Yang Xiaotao picked up a steamed bun, put a piece of ham in the middle, smeared it with chili sauce and walked out.

In the yard, Uncle Chen looked over when he heard the commotion and said a few words.

"Look, Liu Guangqi has already found a partner, so you're not in a hurry!"

"Has Liu Guangqi found a partner?"

Yang Xiaotao was surprised. In the memory of the film and television drama, Liu Guangqi had already left the courtyard when the plot started. Except for a few mentions in the whole process, no one had seen him at all.

From that brief mention, Yang Xiaotao didn't get much information.

But one thing he was sure of was that Liu Guangqi would leave here and never come back.

He also gave the young people in the courtyard a plan to escape from the courtyard.

The last two brothers moved at night, and the children of the third uncle's family left the courtyard. Maybe they were all influenced by him.

"Ah!"

Yang Xiaotao sneered and said nothing. He would not judge the future situation of Liu Haizhong's family.

As a scholar, you must have correct three views. This spirit of courage to resist and the behavior of fighting against old ideas must be promoted and encouraged.

Of course, it's just moral support.
