Scholars in the courtyard

Silly Zhu was so angry today that he gave 50 yuan to Liu Guogang in the morning and was scolded.

I made another self-examination in front of others and felt that I was completely embarrassed.

If the people from the security department weren't watching, he would have turned around and ran away.

I felt uncomfortable and hated Xu Damao even more.

Finally, when it was time to get off work, Shazhu didn't even take his lunch box, and ran to the courtyard with his legs up.

Along the way, he was still thinking about how to deal with Xu Damao, but he didn't even hear Yi Zhonghai calling him.

"Master, this stupid Zhu has taken some gunpowder? He's rushing like that!"

Jia Dongxu looked puzzled as Silly Zhu ran away swinging his arms.

Yi Zhonghai thought of something, but he didn't say anything.

Now his status in the courtyard is a bit unstable, especially because Yang Xiaotao made trouble. People in the courtyard no longer come to him for anything, which makes him feel that his importance has been challenged.

It was just time for Shazhu to make a scene, show his presence, and re-establish his status as the master of the courtyard.

"Let's make a fuss. The bigger the fuss, the better. When the time comes, my appearance will be more useful."

Yi Zhonghai squinted his eyes and walked slowly under the sunset, greeting the passing workers from time to time.

Yang Xiaotao left late today. Ever since he explained the problem to his coworkers after get off work, people would come over to "learn lessons" every time after get off work. Yang Xiaotao was not bored. While solving problems, he could also improve his own abilities. It was a win-win situation.

It's a bit late today, and I was walking on the road thinking about what to eat in the evening.

Yang Xiaotao's space is now filled with fruits and vegetables, as well as some redeemed food.

Although some things are not suitable to be shown in front of others, no one will know if you make them behind closed doors.

The last time I refreshed the items in the exchange bar, I got a pack of braised chicken. It was the authentic kind without additives. It was so hot when it came out that Yang Xiaotao ate it even when he saw the bones.

"Make it simple, let's eat chicken tonight! If it's more expensive, it's just ten credits. Eat it!"

Yang Xiaotao recalled the taste of braised chicken and involuntarily quickened his pace.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I saw a group of people gathered there and pointing.

You can still hear the sound of ouch and ouch inside.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the lively crowd and didn't want to get involved, so he walked around and prepared to go inside to eat.

The affairs in this courtyard are none of his business as long as you don't come to him.

Everyone also understood Yang Xiaotao's attitude, so they didn't involve him in anything.

Passing by the crowd, Yang Xiaotao glanced at them.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and he sneered inwardly.

In the middle was the famous Er Sha in the courtyard. It looked like Sha Zhu had beaten Sha Mao, and his nose was still bleeding.

On one side, Lou Xiao'e supported Xu Damao and Silly Zhu as they argued. The second uncle next to him was watching the fun. The third uncle looked shrewd, but the first uncle listened kindly. Instead of persuading both parties like before, he felt like he was causing trouble. .

Yang Xiaotao shook his head, said hello to Uncle Chen who was watching the fun next to him, and returned home.

After closing the door, tidying up, boiling water, grabbing a few steamed buns, and a bottle of bean paste next to him, he took out the braised chicken from the space, put it on a plate and started eating.

A chicken weighed less than three kilograms. Yang Xiaotao felt full after eating half of the steamed buns. However, the chicken tasted so fragrant that he finally stopped after dipping three steamed buns in the soup.

Put the remaining chicken into the plate and recycle it into the space, as for the bones, they are non-existent.

Braised chicken, the bones are all crispy.

Before Yang Xiaotao could continue reading, there was a knock on the door.

Yang Xiaotao frowned. Normally, no one would disturb him.

When I walked to the door and opened it, I saw Yan Jiefang smiling, sniffing the air, obviously smelling the aroma of chicken.

"Liberation, what happened?"

Yan Jiefang came back to his senses and looked at Yang Xiaotao more cordially.

He was sure that the aroma in the room just now was the smell of roast chicken.

I thought to myself. Yang Xiaotao's life is the real life. Every day he eats either braised pork, roast duck or chicken, and his life is better than that of the uncle's family.

"Brother Tao, my father asked me to inform you that there will be a hospital-wide meeting tonight!"

"Having a meeting?"

As soon as Yang Xiaotao thought about it, he knew that this matter was related to Xu Damao and Silly Zhu. He was about to say that he knew about it, but deep down he didn't want to go.

But before the words came out, I thought I could take a look, just as a seasoning, to watch the fun.

Then he nodded and said, "Okay, I get it!"

Yan Jiefang got the accurate information and quickly ran to inform others. He was also thinking about whether he should stand at the door tonight, maybe he could gain something.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the sun had already set, and there were no electric lights in the courtyard, so every household took out their kerosene lamps. The lights in the courtyard were bright or dim, and it was difficult to tell whether they were humans or ghosts.

A group of people were standing or sitting around the central courtyard, and some were squatting in the corner, looking like they were eating melon.

In the middle of the courtyard, there is a long table with four legs, and three uncles are sitting there.

The first uncle is sitting in the middle, the second uncle is on the right, and the third uncle is on the left. Right in front, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao's family are sitting on benches on both sides.

Yang Xiaotao saw this scene when he went out. He took out a handful of exchanged melon seeds from his arms, walked up to Uncle Chen, looked at Uncle Wang, divided the melon seeds in a circle, and then leaned against the pillar to watch the show.

Next to him was the eldest son of the Wang family. He was cracking melon seeds and had a sweet taste in his mouth.

"Brother Tao, your melon seeds are so fragrant."

Wang Xiaohu next to him was also very greedy. Today he and Yan Jiefang made a rule, one person would guard the gate for a day, and whoever made the money would belong to the other person, so they couldn't be jealous.

Yang Xiaotao also grabbed a handful from his pocket. Wang Xiaohu immediately held it in both hands and shared it with his friends.

After a while, in the northwest corner of the central courtyard, there was the sound of cracking melon seeds.

"It doesn't look like it. Brother Tao gave me these melon seeds. Can Yan Jiefang hold them?"

"Follow me from now on. If you follow Brother Tao, you will definitely be popular and drink spicy food."

"Five for each person, eat slowly!"

Wang Xiaohu divided half of the melon seeds and threw one in his mouth. Even before he bit it, the salty taste conquered him.

The four or five children around him looked at Wang Xiaohu with envy, and then they clenched the melon seeds in their hands tightly, reluctant to eat them.

Not far away, several people who were originally surrounding Yan Jiefang also ran over after hearing the news.

Wang Xiaohu treated everyone equally, but after dividing them up, there were not many left in his hands.

While Yang Xiaotao was cracking melon seeds and talking to Uncle Chen, Uncle Wang and others, he heard the voice of the second uncle bangs.

"uh-huh!"

"Neighbors, I think everyone has arrived. Let's have a meeting! Let me say a few words first."

"The content of our meeting this time is about the conflict between Comrade He Yuzhu and Comrade Xu Damao. As the saying goes, if the light is not turned on, it will not turn on, and if the reason is not argued, it will not be clear!"

"Comrade He Yuzhu beat Xu Damao in the yard because He Yuzhu said that Xu Damao said bad things about him in the factory. Comrade Xu Damao said no."

"So in order to maintain the harmony and stability of the compound, we must explain the entire matter clearly and clearly."

"Don't worry, under the leadership of our three uncles, this matter will be solved perfectly!"

The leader of Liu Hai Middle School talked nonsense, which made Yang Xiaotao eat melon seeds three points faster.

"Well, I've finished, I'll let you say a few words."

Yi Zhonghai had long been accustomed to Liu Haizhong's official fanaticism, so he didn't care and said directly to the people below, "Silly Zhu, tell me what's going on."

Silly Zhu had his head lowered, but immediately jumped up after hearing this, "Neighbors, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters!"

"Everyone knows about me. Last time my uncle announced my marriage, he was too talkative and said something about Zhu Bajie and his second aunt."

When he said this, there was a burst of laughter around him.

Silly Zhu waved his hand quickly, "Stop, stop, stop laughing, let's get down to business."

When the surroundings calmed down, Sha Zhu walked to the middle, pointed at Xu Damao and said, "Originally, it was just an angry remark, but this matter was spread to the factory by Sha Mao, making people unhappy, and I was beaten. Without saying a word, I even offered him fifty yuan to tell me whether Silly Mao should be beaten."

Everyone has heard about it a long time ago. Now that Shazhu is in this area, there are naturally people who are catering to him, "He should be beaten. If it were me! He would be beaten even harder!"

"That's right, the beating was gentle!"

Xu Damao married the eldest daughter of the Lou family. Nowadays, people in the courtyard are becoming more and more jealous, and their small life is also enviable. If you don't vent your dissatisfaction at this time, how can you vent it?

Xu Damao listened to the discussions of the people around him with anxiety on his face. He looked around at everyone with eagerness on his face.

Lou Xiao'e on the side was holding Xu Damao's arm and staring at Silly Zhu.

The third uncle above adjusted his glasses habitually, and stood up at this time, "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me on this matter."

From the looks of the people around, Xu Damao also turned his attention.

"If there is no hole in the hole, there will be a hole in the hole!"

"As the old saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs!"

"This all illustrates the truth, that is, nothing can happen without a reason!"

The third uncle's sudden drop of his book bag stunned everyone, and even those who didn't understand felt that what he said was reasonable.

The third uncle then struck while the iron was hot and asked Silly Zhu, "Sinzhu, let me ask you, is it you who told Zhu Bajie and his second aunt?"

Silly Zhu also came to his senses at this time and knew that these three uncles were coming towards him.

"Third uncle, you can't sit with your butt crooked. Come on, let's talk about it. What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Huh, Silly Zhu, just tell me if you said it!"

"Yes, so what? I just said it unintentionally, what else could I do?"

Silly Zhu rubbed his nose, but the third uncle became cold-hearted, "What's wrong?"

"Words come from your mouth. What you say cannot be said by others?"

"This is a new era, and everyone has freedom of speech. Xu Damao just told others what you said. He didn't spread rumors to cause trouble, and he didn't slander you out of thin air. What's wrong with that?"

"So, for the matter between Silly Zhu and Xu Damao, Silly Zhu bears the primary responsibility, and Xu Damao also bears secondary responsibility for his improper words."

"Now that Silly Zhu has beaten Xu Damao again, I think that's the end of it. Let's all disperse."

The third uncle spoke clearly and logically, but he was so stupid that he lowered his head and raised his head again, which was not a good feeling.
