The courtyard is extremely lively today, especially since it is still Sunday. The production workers in the machinery factory are taking turns off work, and the logistics workers are also off.
After learning that Yang Xiaotao was coming back today, many people were waiting in the courtyard.
Of course, there are some people who can't stand the excitement.
After lunch, Shazhu took Qin Huairu, his aunt and two daughters to the countryside to visit Yi Zhonghai.
As for Jia Zhang, I don’t know where she has gone now.
At the gate, Yan Fugui got up early and asked people to clean up the alley.
If not for anything else, just for the honor that Yang Xiaotao brought to the courtyard, for having such a prominent figure in their courtyard. As an old man, he has a lot of face when he goes out for a walk.
The people in the courtyard were also willing, especially the families who were cared for by Yang Xiaotao. The boy in the family became a worker, and the whole family benefited from it.
And those who have not been taken care of, and whose children are about to work, are even more enthusiastic.
Who doesn’t know that the machinery factory looks different every day now, and it’s unclear when it will be filled with people?
In the middle courtyard, Ran's mother was busy preparing meals. At this time, it was estimated that Yang Xiaotao would be able to have dinner when he came back.
Ran Qiuye and Cuiping were helping.
Lou Xiao'e, on the other hand, led a group of children in the courtyard to play, especially during the Dragon Boat Festival. She followed behind and called her godmother, which made Liu Lixue, who was looking after the two girls, helpless.
Why does she look down on the younger one?
Also, why did she so blindly agree to come along?
Liu Lixue frowned, and when she finally saw Lou Xiao'e's appearance, she thought of the relationship between the two.
I have a godson here, and I will have someone to call on me if I need anything in the future.
From this perspective, it’s pretty good.
That is, do you want to identify yourself?
Looking down at the two girls, one was sitting obediently in the car, chewing her fingers.
The other stood up on his legs and left the car, waving his little hands, looking more like a boy than a boy.
Liu Lixue looked at it twice and finally shook her head.
Even if I think about it, I guess the Yang family won't be happy either.
What's more...
Thinking of my old man, I felt helpless.
It was easy for me to say that I would not force myself to get married and that I would wait two years before saying anything.
If this exposes my thoughts, then...
Liu Lixue pushed the child onto the seat, "Xiao Rongrong, sit tight, or your father will come back and beat you."
The mistress who was standing up holding on to the handle heard the word dad and immediately shouted dad, dad.
Liu Lixue smiled and before she could react, she saw someone walking in from the hanging flower door, which made the mistress even more excited.
"dad!"
Duanwu let go of Lou Xiao'e's hand and immediately ran towards the person.
"Xiao Tao is back!"
"came back!"
In an instant, everyone in the courtyard saw the person coming, it was Yang Xiaotao.
"Good son!"
Yang Xiaotao picked up the little Dragon Boat Festival, threw it up, and then caught it steadily.
"Do you miss Dad?"
"Think about it!"
Duanwu said very seriously, but looked at the guards coming in behind Yang Xiaotao. The two of them had a big bag and a small bag in their hands, and their faces were full of anticipation.
"brat!"
Yang Xiaotao put down the Dragon Boat Festival, and when he heard the noise, Ran Qiuye and Ran's mother also came out.
"mom!"
"Autumn leaves!"
Yang Xiaotao stepped forward quickly. When Ran's mother saw Yang Xiaotao coming back, she kept nodding her head, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!"
Ran Qiuye nodded at the side, with a smile on his face.
Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and held Ran Qiuye in his arms.
Instantly, all kinds of strange screams rang out in the courtyard.
Ran Qiuye's face turned red and she wanted to break free, but was held tightly by Yang Xiaotao.
In the room, Director Yu and Ran's father came out to take a look. Ran's father curled his lips and said nothing.
But when Director Yu saw Cuiping looking over from the side, the meaning in his eyes was, "Look, it's been a long time since you hugged me like this!"
He looked back and said, "I'll hug you tonight!"
But he still felt a little weak in his heart. He was like a wolf at thirty and a tiger at forty, and at an age like a wolf and a tiger, he was not invincible.
He glanced at the old man stroking his beard and thought about going to sit in the house for a while.
Lou Xiao'e stood in front of Liu Lixue. They looked at Yang Xiaotao and the others, then looked back at each other at the same time, and then smiled knowingly.
At the Moon Gate, Xu Damao helped Qin Jingru and looked at her, then turned around and said, "Let's go back and take care of her!"
"When our son is born, we will also play in the courtyard and buy a lot of things. We will be so envious of him. We will be so envious of Silly Zhu."
Qin Jingru smiled and nodded, then lowered her head and touched her still invisible belly, "My child, you must be well. You will definitely be the best in the future."
"Let go quickly, many people are watching."
Ran Qiuye's ears were red and her face was hot.
Yang Xiaotao calmed down, looked at Ran Qiuye, and then nodded, "I'm back!"
"Know."
Ran Qiuye lowered his head, then raised his face again, his big eyes were filled with relaxation, "Is everything okay?"
"Nothing's wrong, everything is fine!"
Ran Qiuye felt relieved after hearing this, and then helped place the things!
"Dad! Lao Yu, Lao Dao..."
Yang Xiaotao let go of Ran Qiuye, and then greeted Ran's father and others.
Father Ran stepped forward and patted Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder, "Just come back!"
"No, if you don't come back, your father-in-law won't even dare to go home!"
The old Taoist on the side laughed, and Ran's father's face fell. Then he smiled at Yang Xiaotao.
"You're going out now, but a lot of people are worried about you!"
Director Yu smiled and Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "Next time, I have to call you."
"Easy to worry!"
"No, no, no, I'm very busy with my business right now, and I have no plans to work part-time for the time being!"
Yang Xiaotao smiled, then nodded to Lou Xiaoe and Liu Lixue on the side, and then followed him into the room.
Ran Qiuye was arranging things, and Yang Xiaotao saw the guard holding the big bag and took it immediately.
"Just give me the stuff, I'm sorry to bother you two."
The two shook their heads, and the leader looked serious, "Leader, if nothing happens, let's go back first!"
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Yang Xiaotao took out two boxes of cigarettes from his pocket and handed them over. Before the other party could say no, he whispered, "These cigarettes are what I really want, don't refuse."
The leader nodded after hearing this, "Thank you, leader!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then, salute and turn around to leave.
Yang Xiaotao walked into the study room carrying the package. The moment he put it down, the books in the space also appeared in the study room.
After arranging himself, Yang Xiaotao looked at the package on the side and immediately walked out of the study.
"Autumn leaves!"
Calling Ran Qiuye aside, Yang Xiaotao handed the package over.
"I stopped by the Second Factory this time and brought back some letters. You can send them to the hospital!"
After hearing this, Ran Qiuye took the package and opened it. There were many bulging envelopes and a lot of stuff inside.
"I'll give it to everyone first, so that everyone can be happy!"
Ran Qiuye knows that letters from home are worth ten thousand dollars, and those who travel far will always be missed by their families.
Ran Qiuye took the things and called Lou Xiao'e and they went to the yard to help.
Then he took out a plastic bag, and Duanwu led a group of children to stand beside it, with expectations in their eyes.
"Here, take it and play!"
Dragon Boat Festival howled, took the plastic bag and ran to the yard. After opening it, there were finger-long H-shaped plastic puzzle pieces with stickers of various weapons on them.
Without Yang Xiaotao saying much, a group of children started to figure out how to play!
"Dad, do you think I found something this time?"
Yang Xiaotao sat aside and said to Ran's father.
"what?"
Ran's father has been very busy lately, so he came here today because Yang Xiaotao is coming back, so he came to see what's going on.
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was safe and fine, I felt relieved.
"Hey, I went abroad this time and met something good in Kazakhstan!"
Immediately, Yang Xiaotao explained the general situation of how he came across these books.
"You mean, these books were all obtained from the Deutsche Bibliothek?"
Ran's father sat firmly at first, but Yang Xiaotao explained that it was Dezhi who got it and could no longer sit still.
"Yes, they are all in German, but they must have been written more than 20 years ago!"
"It was useful more than 20 years ago. You got it all back?"
Ran's father was excited. What he learned while studying abroad was enough for him now, let alone those in books.
"Can I get it?"
Yang Xiaotao said helplessly. After all, the package he brought back was so big. It would be bad to say too much.
Anyway, I can read them in the study. Who knows which ones were brought back?
"I just picked some mechanical ones, and I'll wait for the other ones that I think will be useful."
"Oh, what a pity, what a pity!"
As Ran's father spoke, he ran to the study room, looked at a large pile of books, his eyes shone, and then picked them.
Then, sounds of surprise, disappointment, and laughter continued to come from the study.
Lao Dao and Director Yu were not surprised that Ran's father had such a temper.
"By the way, I took your goat horns!"
The old man stroked his beard, as if I had already done it and there was nothing you could do about it.
"One?"
"Ah, you still want to give me two more!"
"Dream on you."
The old man smiled, knowing that Yang Xiaotao was thinking of him.
While several people were talking at the table, Yan Fugui in the front yard took the thick envelope from Ran Qiuye's hand and burst into tears.
"Uncle Yan, hurry back and tell the third aunt, close the door and count."
"This thick stack is worth a lot of money!"
Lou Xiao'e smiled and joked that when she was in this courtyard, she was often annoyed by the three uncles.
Yan Fugui was not angry after hearing this. Instead, he happily put the envelope in his arms and looked up at Ran Qiuye, "No hurry, no rush!"
"Teacher Ran, thank you! I'll go and say a few words to Xiao Tao!"
"Just say a few words!"
With that said, he walked towards the middle courtyard.
Behind them, everyone who was busy stopped when they saw it, and followed them with envelopes. Ran Qiuye shook his head helplessly when he saw it, "Xiao'e, Lixue, and the people in the alley, please send it to me."
"You can help send the rest to Director Wang of the subdistrict office and let her help."
Lou Xiao'e nodded, "Don't worry, you can go back and take care of me as soon as possible."
After saying that, he took the remaining letters and walked towards the entrance of the alley.
Yang family.
Yan Fugui came to the yard with a smile, followed by many people.
When he walked into the house, he saw Yang Xiaotao's kind attitude and said, "Yang, Xiaotao."
"Uncle Yan, sit down!"
In front of a room full of guests, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
What's more, Yan Fugui did not provoke them again during this period, and even took care of them in some matters.
He also handles matters in the yard appropriately.
This old man, if he puts his mind right, it will still be good for the courtyard.
Of course, it is impossible to say that the reason for this is not to curry favor.
But isn’t this human nature?
Yan Fugui immediately smiled, but this time he was more sincere than usual.
"Xiao Tao, I just want to ask how the liberation is going!"
Yan Fugui said immediately, and the people behind him had the same idea.
Yang Xiaotao looked at Yan Fugui, then at the crowd, and then smiled and said, "Jiefang has made his mark there. He has become a team leader. The director of the workshop said that he will become an excellent worker if he gets more."
"The salary and benefits I get now are more than those of a third-level fitter, so you and the third-level aunt don't have to worry."
Yan Fugui's eyes were red, "I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that the second child could actually do this and be so successful."
"Xiao Tao, I, I really thank you!"
As he said this, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore. He took off his glasses and kept wiping them.
