When Yang Xiaotao returned to the house, several people from Liu Yuhua and Wang Dashan's family were talking about Jia and Zhang.
Each one said it in a convincing manner, as if he had gone to the hospital.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao coming back, they smiled and said a few words, and then went home to prepare dinner.
In the room, Ran Qiuye hung Yang Xiaotao's coat on the clothes rack, and then brought a glass of water over.
"Where are grandma and the others?"
Yang Xiaotao saw Ran Qiuye in the room and asked casually.
"Grandma thought it was noisy here, so she took the kids to stay at mom's house!"
"Ah? Can you live at home?"
"Yes, dad won't come back, that's more than enough!"
Ran Qiuye couldn't help but emphasize her tone when talking about Ran's father.
Obviously he was very upset about Xin Rui being beaten and never coming back.
Yang Xiaotao mourned for his father-in-law in his heart, and then quickly changed the subject.
"What's going on in this courtyard?"
Ran Qiuye packed up the tea cups and table, and then walked to the kitchen, "It's not Xu Damao's house in the backyard!"
Yang Xiaotao rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen to help.
"The family is making trouble again?"
"Well, during the day, the old couple blocked Qin Jingru outside the door and refused to let him in. They made a lot of noise and cursed very hard."
"Later, stupid Zhu Yi Zhonghai came to terms with it and called Yan Fugui over to persuade him for a while before giving up!"
"But they come here every now and then these days, and the people in the backyard are annoyed. Sister Cuiping hasn't come back yet, and Uncle Zhang lives in the steel factory. He said that he often hears female ghosts crying at night, which is unlucky.
"
Ran Qiuye rubbed his face, showing some sympathy on his face.
Sympathy for Qin Jingru’s unfortunate experience.
Now everyone in the compound knows Qin Jingru's situation. She is either divorced but has no house to live in. Unless she finds a new home in the city, she has no choice but to return to the countryside.
But if we don’t get divorced, we have to wait for Xu Damao for ten years...
Yang Xiaotao didn't see Ran Qiuye's expression, he just took out a few potatoes from the vat and started peeling them, preparing to fry the shredded potatoes.
But Lao Dao didn't come back. Could it be because of work?
As for female ghosts and the like, would a Taoist priest be afraid of them?
I guess he's afraid of women.
"What's the end?"
Seeing that Ran Qiuye was silent, Yang Xiaotao asked.
"at last?"
"Ah, are they divorced?"
Ran Qiuye shook his head, "I don't know. I seem to have heard Aunt Wang say that Qin Huairu asked her to divorce, but Qin Jingru couldn't make up her mind."
"If we really had a decision, we wouldn't be in trouble like this!"
Someone said with emotion, but now Yang Xiaotao could see it.
"What's wrong, do you sympathize?"
Ran Qiuye nodded, "This woman's life is too miserable!"
Yang Xiaotao suddenly laughed, "Is her life miserable? Stop joking!"
Ran Qiuye was puzzled, and then Yang Xiaotao explained, "To say that life is hard, except for the two pregnancies that were not saved, it is indeed a bit."
"But if you compare it with others, she can still have enough to eat and eat well without having to work. How hard is it to tell fortunes?"
Ran Qiuye opened his mouth, thinking that it really didn't matter.
As for the kids…
The medical situation is like that these days. Although the risk of a woman giving birth has decreased, it is still the difference between fifty and one hundred. Moreover, not every child born will be good.
Especially in rural areas, where medical care is underdeveloped, this phenomenon is even more common.
This is also the reason why people in the village want to have more children. After all, you can't guarantee that you will grow up healthy after giving birth to just one. What if, what if it doesn't happen?
"Also, don't think that Qin Jingru didn't divorce because she was waiting for Xu Damao. Who in our courtyard doesn't know that she was on a blind date with Silly Zhu, but she was taken to have a meal with Xu Damao, and she became close to Xu Damao. At that time
Xu Damao has a problem with his style. Not long after he was paraded on the street, people like this can take a fancy to her. What do you think she is doing?"
Ran Qiuye lowered his head. Everyone in the institute knew this. If you think about it for a moment, you will know the reason.
"So, she hasn't found a better one or a new home, otherwise, she would have been divorced long ago!"
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he began to shred a lot of potatoes. Ran Qiuye came back to his senses and continued working, but the two of them did not talk about what happened in the courtyard.
As for the Jia family's affairs, or matters related to Qin Huairu, Ran Qiuye knew what Yang Xiaotao meant and would not mention it in front of him under normal circumstances.
Even if he mentioned it, Yang Xiaotao would not say another word.
"By the way, why are you free to come back today?"
Ran Qiuye kneaded his face vigorously. Yang Xiaotao soaked the shredded potatoes in a basin with water, then wiped his hands on a towel and came behind Ran Qiuye, "Of course I miss you!"
He said and hugged me from behind.
"You're lying. You smell like drunk. Where did you go at noon?"
Over the years, Ran Qiuye has long been accustomed to Yang Xiaotao's attitude, and is also aware of his man's mouth.
Yang Xiaotao put his head on Ran Qiuye's shoulder and touched his wife's waist without any fat, "Daughter-in-law, do you want to have more sons?"
Ran Qiuye was waiting for Yang Xiaotao's reply when he suddenly heard the expression on his hand and stopped, and then felt something strange behind him. Even though they were an old couple, their cheeks were still a little red.
"It's you who said it for two years, and now it's you who wants it. It's you who have the final say no matter what!"
Ran Qiuye whispered, not having much resistance to having children.
Who doesn’t have five or six children in their family nowadays?
Although they already have three children, the boy only has one during the Dragon Boat Festival. It seems that the goal of spreading the family is far from being achieved.
This is what Ran's mother often told her, while you are still young, try more times.
Even Ms. Cui is also insinuating that she should have more sons and don't be like her.
Of course, Ms. Cui did not forget to urge her to buy a bigger house so that she could have space for her children.
"Hey, you can have it if you want it!"
Yang Xiaotao continued to smile, and kissed Ran Qiuye on the face. Ran Qiuye wiped it with his sleeves pretending to be disgusted, and then snorted coldly, "If it's that easy, there are many childless people in the courtyard!"
Yang Xiaotao held Ran Qiuye in his arms, "Can it be the same? Just because they can't do it, doesn't mean I can't do it!"
"Besides, you still don't know if your man is strong or not?"
"Let go, you already know how to bully me!"
"I can't bully others either!"
"Huh, you think so, but you just don't dare!"
"You actually said that to your man, it depends on my family..."
"Don't move, I don't dare anymore, no..."
The two of them quarreled in the kitchen for a while before getting back to cooking.
Ran Qiuye's face turned red with embarrassment, and she turned her eyes to Yang Xiaotao and said angrily, "It's all your fault, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat now!"
Yang Xiaotao smiled proudly, "Nonsense, you are full, but I am still empty!"
Ran Qiuye wanted to understand something and immediately made a fuss and ignored Yang Xiaotao.
During dinner, Ran Qiuye asked about the situation of the greenhouses in the village.
"I came back this time just to go to the first branch factory. There is going to be a lot of work in the greenhouse, but..."
Ran Qiuye heard that more greenhouses would be built in the future, and asked in surprise, "With so many greenhouses, can they be busy?"
"It should be about the same. Many people from the surrounding villages went to help. It should be no problem a year ago."
"Then what blender made it?"
"That's not easy. I designed it in one night and will probably send it to you tomorrow!"
"oh!"
Ran Qiuye ate the pot stickers and looked at Yang Xiaotao's confident look, feeling very proud.
"By the way, is Xinrui okay at school?"
Yang Xiaotao has been busy with the greenhouse these two days, and the school has not interfered.
Speaking of this, Ran Qiuye shook his head quickly, "Xin Rui's affairs are nothing, but there are many things about school."
"And it involves quite a lot!"
Yang Xiaotao immediately raised his head and listened carefully.
Then Ran Qiuye told the news he heard from the Academic Affairs Office.
Mr. Li is indeed not a vegetarian!
The principal and director of the school were taken away on the spot, and many teachers were also called in to investigate.
Then came a series of punishments, and the sanctimonious principal and the awe-inspiring director in the school even ate peanuts.
There are also several teachers who were directly expelled from the school. It will probably be difficult for them to earn a living in the future.
"You don't know that in the past few years, they have colluded with each other through up-and-down connections to impersonate many people into the school!"
"After this incident was revealed, the entire Academic Affairs Office was shaken. The director personally investigated the matter. I heard that other departments were involved. Anyone who has done this will be punished!"
"I didn't expect these people to be so bold, how dare they!"
"It's really, really abominable!"
Ran Qiuye held the chopsticks in her hands and said bitterly.
Is it easy for children to take the exam these days?
Whose family is not trying to sell iron to supply, but is interrupted by this group of ruthless people? That is a family's hope!
Yang Xiaotao sighed after hearing this, feeling pity for the children who suffered injustice.
It has only been a few good years and it has been stable for a long time, but so many things have popped up.
"We are currently investigating other schools and say there are problems that need to be rectified as well!"
Ran Qiuye poked at the food with chopsticks, feeling a little disappointed.
This is a sacred profession in her mind, how could it be like this!
“How did those students handle it?”
Compared to the school's punishment, Yang Xiaotao is more concerned about the future affairs of the school's students.
Ran Qiuye thought for a moment and then said, "I heard from the superiors that new regulations will be issued in the future!"
"What rules?"
"I didn't say much. It seems that in the future, students who excel in school can choose to continue their studies. After graduation, they can choose to find jobs in the city. They can also choose to go to the countryside."
Yang Xiaotao thought about it briefly and understood the deeper meaning.
The current students in the school, except those from the city, are all from rural areas.
According to regulations, those who pass the exam must return to their place of origin to work after entering the city.
But now this regulation is equivalent to further interpretation, giving outstanding students one more opportunity to choose.
"Are you not doing well in studies?"
"Most of them will be sent to the countryside."
"Of course, there are also special circumstances, such as those who make mistakes or have special requirements, and they may not necessarily be graduates..."
“Everyone’s wishes will be taken care of!”
Yang Xiaotao nodded. This way not only retains talents, but also takes care of the task requirements above. To be able to achieve this, the big guys in the Academic Affairs Office have done their best.
At least it's much better than the one-size-fits-all approach in my previous life.
Yang Xiaotao was thinking in his heart, but he didn't know that the main reason for these changes was his appearance.
It was under his wings of instigation that when the domestic industry was at a low ebb, he led the Red Star Machinery Factory to go upstream, constantly making waves, and while confusing the stagnant water, he also found a new outlet to let the entire industry flow.
Rise up and form living water!
Just like converter steelmaking has significantly improved the country's steelmaking capacity, the country's steel production has doubled, and the increase in steel can make more products.
The emergence of alloys has opened the valve of production capacity limitations, allowing research to be further improved.
Under the leadership of Hongxing Machinery Factory, new products are developed using steel and alloys.
From the initial pressure cooker, tractor, tricycle, then air conditioner, armored vehicle and so on.
It has developed step by step, and now it has involved people's livelihood, machinery, military industry and other fields.
These changes form two cycles.
One is domestic internal circulation. During the circulation, the production capacity of each factory is increased, allowing more factories to flow, and gradually improving basic capabilities.
One is the external circulation related to foreign countries. Obtaining foreign exchange through trade with the outside world, although the scope is not large now, is also a means to stimulate the domestic economy.
Just like now, the related industries surrounding Hongxing Machinery Factory have begun to shake off the downturn and are now developing rapidly.
This kind of driving is like a train. When the Hongxing Machinery Factory locomotive starts moving, the carriages behind it will follow.
The more powerful the locomotive is, the faster the car will go, and the carriage will naturally fly accordingly.
The improvement of the industry requires more people to participate.
Taking this demand into consideration, the Education Department made suggestions to its superiors to reserve some places in the city.
Although Yang Xiaotao doesn't know what's going on behind this, it doesn't stop him from moving on and doing more things.
Perhaps, when the industrial scale reaches a certain level, the people trained in schools will not be enough.
