Chapter 120: Pregnant again (additional update for Ragnarok)
The next day, after Yang Xiaotao came home from get off work again, Uncle Chen came to him and told him that someone from the street office was here today.
Only then did Yang Xiaotao realize that the people in the courtyard were jealous and wanted to pull the wires.
But he was a little surprised that these people didn't come to him directly. Instead, they took a roundabout route and asked the street office to come forward.
Yang Xiaotao never thought about making things difficult for the people in the courtyard, let alone making money from this.
He just wants to have electricity. If other people want to use electricity, they have to share the cost equally.
Let’s not talk about labor costs, but the public money cannot be paid by oneself.
After a few words with Uncle Chen, Yang Xiaotao asked him to pay attention to who was pulling wires in the lower courtyard.
Before leaving, Uncle Chen still said, "Xiao Tao, don't make trouble with the Jia family about this matter, or you will end up in trouble."
Yang Xiaotao understood what he meant, nodded and said.
"Don't worry, I usually don't care about public affairs."
Uncle Chen nodded. He knew that Yang Xiaotao knew how to advance and retreat, so he said no more.
In the middle courtyard, the first uncle's house, the second uncle and the third uncle were sitting at the table, discussing how to collect money.
They already knew that the wires and telephone poles pulled outside cost a total of 86 yuan, and they had to share this money.
"Today I asked my aunt to ask the central courtyard who wanted to pull the wires."
"In the middle courtyard, there are Jia's family, Zhuzi's family, Wang Dashan's family, Sun Laoliu's family and ours, a total of five households."
Yi Zhonghai wrote his name on the paper, and the second uncle Liu Haizhong took over the conversation, "My family and Xu Damao's family are the only ones in the backyard."
There are many people in the backyard, but few are capable.
In fact, the middle courtyard is similar to the backyard, except that Yang Xiaotao's family is in the middle courtyard, and the bright lights are too tempting for the family.
“Our front yard is our house!”
Yan Fugui whispered, their situation was similar to that in the backyard, but the good thing was that electric lights had to be installed at the gate, which would be borne by the whole hospital, and would be shared equally by the whole hospital.
"Including Yang Xiaotao, there are nine households in total. Third child, how much does one household cost?"
As soon as Liu Haizhong spoke, Yi Zhonghai looked up and said, "The old lady's are mine, there are ten in total."
Yan Fugui just took out his notebook. He didn't need to list the calculation formulas now, and said directly, "Eight yuan and sixty-four cents for a family!"
Yi Zhonghai nodded, "That's it. Let's make it clear to the others. As for the line into the yard and the lamp socket, you have to pay for it yourself."
"The electric switch will be placed at the third uncle's house first. I will advance the money and divide it into the electricity bill next month."
Several people nodded. It was obvious that the front yard was more suitable at this point, while the back yard suffered the most.
However, the second uncle's family and Xu Damao's family don't lack this, and they don't care.
The results of the Intermediate Court's discussion were quickly communicated, and every household began to prepare money if they needed it.
During the Saturday break, Officer Li from the subdistrict office came to Yang Xiaotao and handed 77 yuan and 80 cents to Yang Xiaotao.
Yang Xiaotao also knew which house in the courtyard needed to pull wires.
He was not surprised to see other home improvement wires. Even though they were poor these days, they were also divided into different grades.
Just like a big man, his monthly salary is so much, not to mention in this courtyard, even in the entire steel rolling mill. How can you say he is poor?
There is also Silly Zhu, who already earns a salary and relies on his craftsmanship to take jobs outside. His income is no less than that of Yang Xiaotao.
In other words, this guy doesn't like to pick things up, otherwise the house wouldn't be so sloppy.
He hasn't touched the Jia family yet. The blood is thick, so pulling the wire is not a problem.
As for the second uncle's family and Xu Damao's family, let alone them.
Instead, it was the Jia family that surprised Yang Xiaotao.
How long has it been? The last time Full Moon Wine was lost, Jia Dongxu only had a monthly salary of 27.5 yuan, so he dared to join in the fun?
Yang Xiaotao didn't know where the Jia family relied on him. It simply had nothing to do with him, so he didn't care.
Two days later, Li Tiejun led people to the courtyard again.
There were more people this time, seven or eight people, mainly because the workload was heavy and three people were too busy.
Thanks to Yang Xiaotao, everyone can make a fortune this time.
Of course, according to the market price, it’s two yuan a day!
Several people went door to door to check the situation, and then gave a price. If they agreed, construction started immediately.
It's easy for other people, but it's a bit troublesome when it comes to the Jia family.
Several families had no problem, but the Jia family felt that the money was too much and they couldn't argue.
The Jia family had already spent more than eight yuan to pull the wires, and now they were buying lamp sockets and miscellaneous light bulbs for more than two yuan. This money gave Jia Zhang a toothache, so she wanted to spend less so that she could earn less money.
This is not the first time that Li Tiejun and others have encountered such a person. They made their attitude clear directly. If they want to bully someone, they will give them money. If they don’t want to bully someone, just say so.
Jia Zhang, who was used to being domineering in the yard, was choked to the point of being unable to speak. She hid in hiding several times and became sulky.
In the end, Jia Dongxu went to Yi Zhonghai and borrowed five yuan to deal with it.
In just one day, Li Tiejun and others installed the electric switch according to the situation of each house, leaving the light socket open, and just installed the light bulb.
This time Yang Xiaotao directly asked Li Tiejun to pull a wire from his house and install electric lights in Uncle Chen's house.
Especially Aunt Chen, looking at the light bulbs in the kitchen, she smiled from ear to ear.
“It will be much easier to cook now!”
After people in the courtyard found out, they started a new round of discussion.
They knew that Yang Xiaotao provided one-on-one assistance, so they decided to take advantage of the Chen family.
Many people said that the Chen family got a big deal, and some even said that Yang Xiaotao had ulterior motives and had a bad idea.
Fortunately, the Chen family still has a son out of town, otherwise someone would have said that Yang Xiaotao would be exterminated.
Mrs. Jia Zhang has been suffering from toothache for the past two days, and everyone in the yard speculated that she was angry with Yang Xiaotao and the Chen family.
After hearing that Yang Xiaotao was energizing the Chen family and using one meter for both families, he felt unhappy.
The bad words in the yard were also spread by her.
If Yang Xiaotao hadn't been on the same level as her, Xiao Wei would have been asked to intensify her efforts to punish her.
That’s right, Jia Zhang’s toothache was caused by Yang Xiaotao asking Xiaowei to do it.
It was a dark night, and Mrs. Jia Zhang accidentally fell off the bed, and there was a wooden bump where she fell. So the next day, Mrs. Jia Zhang's face swelled until the swelling subsided, and the roots of her teeth were not healed either.
It hurts if you drink some cold water.
There is no other way, Jia Zhang can only take painkillers these two days to survive.
Now, the courtyard lights up at night, and family members who have electricity can feel more dignified when they go out.
Especially at Xu Damao's house, with electricity now available, Xu Damao is going to show movies in the yard during the Chinese New Year. This makes the courtyard and even the whole alley excited, with everyone looking forward to celebrating the New Year as soon as possible.
This also allowed Xu Damao to win over a wave of people, and he could hear greetings whenever he met people.
Of course, Silly Zhu was not in such a good mood and was depressed at home.
However, Xu Damao's mood did not last long, and his miserable pregnancy preparation career began again.
On the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, in the small year, good news came again from the Jia family.
Qin Huairu is pregnant again.
As soon as the good news came out, Jia Zhang's teeth no longer hurt and she showed off in the yard.
After hearing the news, many people came out to check and saw Jia Dongxu supporting Qin Huairu for a walk in the yard. Behind him, Jia Zhang held a stick and looked arrogant.
Several young daughters-in-law in the hospital were envious of Qin Huairu's ability to have children. She got pregnant so quickly. She had a very easy-to-pregnant constitution.
After hearing the news, Yi Zhonghai suddenly had a bad thought in his heart.
Then it was buried deep in my heart.
In the backyard, Lou Xiao'e, who heard the news in the morning, returned to her parents' home at noon.
Xu Damao looked at the empty room and just hoped that his child would stop playing hide and seek with him and come earlier.
Silly Zhu, on the other hand, became even more depressed. He stayed at home and was too lazy to go out, for fear that seeing Sister Xiao Qin's appearance would make him unbearable.
Yang Xiaotao came in from the yard pushing a wheelbarrow. He also learned about Qin Huairu's pregnancy and knew that this was probably a ploy.
Of course, he was also afraid that his little butterfly's wings would be disturbed too much, and something might go wrong.
However, this has nothing to do with him.
In such a family environment, no matter how many children you have, you will not be able to get rid of the consequences of being a white-eyed wolf.
Passing by the Jia family, he came to the yard and took down the coal from the wheelbarrow.
It was cold this year, so Yang Xiaotao bought more coal to ensure that the two families could use it.
Send a bag of coal to Uncle Chen's house, and then have dinner at Uncle Chen's house.
Jia Zhang looked at the coal that Yang Xiaotao had brought back and thought about the coal bag that was about to bottom out, and her breathing started to get heavier.
Take a look at the houses around you. Who hasn’t prepared for the winter and bought a lot of coal?
The triangle-shaped eyes stared at Yang Xiaotao's house, and after a while, he walked to the uncle's house with the stick in his arms.
"What? A meeting?"
Yi Zhonghai was just about to eat when he saw Mrs. Jia Zhang walking in with her child in her arms. As soon as she entered the door, she started shouting about a hospital-wide meeting.
"Master, why did we not implement the assistance we provided last year this year?"
"I remember that the street office rewarded each of you with an alarm clock ticket. You didn't take advantage of it and didn't do anything, right?"
Yi Zhonghai only felt a pain in his forehead. This guy's mouth really stinks.
"Jia Zhang, you also said that it was from last year, not this year."
"Don't get confused."
Jia Zhang rolled her triangular eyes and said, "I don't care, it was possible last year, why can't it be done this year?"
"If you don't open it, I will go to the street office and sue you three uncles for not doing anything!"
Jia Zhang was unreasonable and Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to give in.
"Okay, you go back first, and we will have a meeting again after dinner."
Mrs. Jia Zhang happily hugged her grandson and left. Before going out, she even leaned in front of the aunt to show her face. Then, regardless of the aunt's change of face, she walked home.
"Hmph, a dog can't change its habit of eating shit!"
The eldest mother sighed, but she felt disgusted in her heart.
It would be great if she had a body like Qin Huairu's.
"Lao Yi, where are you going?"
Yi Zhonghai put on his cotton-padded jacket.
"I'll go talk to Yan Fugui. Jia Zhang is right. We have to do this!"
After that, go out.
When we came to the front yard, the third uncle was repairing the fishing rod. This winter could not stop the enthusiasm for fishing.
As soon as Yi Zhonghai said this, Yan Fugui immediately remembered his experience last year. Although his family was rated as a "household in difficulty", there were too few people willing to help.
However, I was awarded an alarm clock ticket last year, and I don’t think anyone will be willing to do it this year.
Thinking of this, Yan Fugui immediately asked Yan Jie and Yan Jiefang to inform the people in the compound and have a meeting after dinner.
Then Yi Zhonghai went to the backyard again, exchanged opinions with Liu Haizhong, and then went home for dinner.
A Tao himself thinks he is a fake football fan.
If I really want to say who I like, I don't have an answer in my heart.
But, this is the youthful past of our generation.
Once upon a time, when I was still with my father, I asked him what offside was.
Now, as a father, his son is also watching, but he is watching Ultraman.
Once upon a time, I ate instant noodles in my dormitory and stayed up late watching football.
Now, good brothers can only watch videos, but it is difficult to get together.
Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, Modric, Muller.
The grace of my youth is still in my heart, but looking back, I see that he is still in his thirties just like me.
Time, you are so fucking stupid!!!
o(╥﹏╥)o
I sighed for a while, you guys, don’t laugh at me.
Adding an update for The Last Battle of the Gods is a different kind of support for me, a pseudo-fan.
Finally, I hope our...
Forget it, let's not mention the spoiler.
The last weak sentence is that I am betting on Germany (*^▽^*).
