The night falls, the cool breeze blows slowly, and the moon and stars are scarce.
The night in March was still a bit cool, but I could still wear single clothes.
Yang Xiaotao set up three tables in the middle courtyard.
The dishes for the three tables, under the direction of Yang Xiaotao, were a combination of meat and vegetables, and the portions were large and filling.
Ran's father came back this time when he had time, and sat with Yu Zecheng and Lao Tao. Yang Xiaotao accompanied him. There were also Yan Fugui, Wang Dashan and others at the table.
Ran's mother and Zhou's mother also came over and shared a table with several elderly women in the courtyard.
Finally, there was a table made by Yang Xiaotao alone for his wife and children. They were all made with simple ingredients, and there was no fish that would get stuck in the throat.
For a time, the whole courtyard was lively.
"Xiao Tao, I, as the master of the courtyard, have to say a few words about such a big matter today."
"Just in front of Director Ran, Director Yu, and Lao Zhang, I want to make some suggestions."
Yan Fugui drank a glass of wine and felt indescribably happy.
Ever since the second oldest child in the family hitched a ride with Yang Xiaotao, the family found opportunities to follow Yang Xiaotao.
The benefits of this are obvious.
Not only did the people in the courtyard give Yang Xiaotao a face, but they also paid attention to his management, and they were also able to serve Yang Xiaotao.
That's an improvement in status.
After sowing all this, I can make more money than other calculations in most of my life.
"Uncle Yan, you are right, you are the boss in charge of this courtyard, you are the biggest."
Yang Xiaotao smiled while holding the wine glass. Wang Dashan beside him also laughed after hearing this, "That's right, you are the biggest one in this courtyard."
Father Ran and Yu Zecheng also smiled. They felt that Yan Fugui was a very normal person.
He has advantages and disadvantages, but his flaws do not outweigh his advantages. Overall, he is a good person in the current environment.
At least he's more normal than the laughing guy next to him.
"Okay then, I'll just make Brick."
After saying that, Yan Fugui stood up and coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, and then solemnly said, "The first one is Comrade Yang Xiaotao, who has done something very meaningful."
"Today, as the steward of our courtyard, I, on behalf of everyone, would like to warmly welcome little boy Yang Jianhua to become a member of our courtyard."
bang bang bang
Everyone immediately clapped their hands to welcome him.
Miao Miao was beside Ran Qiuye, and after hearing this, a shy smile appeared on her face.
Yang Xiaotao took the opportunity to pick up the wine glass and said, "From now on, if we all do something bad in the same courtyard, I will apologize here first, so please bear with me."
After saying that, drink it all in one gulp.
On the table next to him, Liu Yuhua held Xiaoyu in one hand and Miao Miao in the other. Hearing Yang Xiaotao's words, he immediately said, "Brother Tao, you are wrong."
"How could a child like Miaomiao not do well?"
"Yes, Brother Tao, I think you want to drink."
Zhou Peng also cheered from the side, and the table was full of happy laughter.
Yan Fugui didn't care that Yang Xiaotao interrupted. After he finished speaking, he continued, "This second one, let me tell you, our hospital has donated a lot of materials to the disaster area this time, and the street office has praised us.
, let us keep up our efforts.”
"good!"
People around him shouted again.
"All of this and more."
“After learning about it, the superior leaders decided to award us the honor of ‘Glorious Quadrangle’.”
"Tomorrow, hang it outside the gate. Everyone will be happy."
After Yan Fugui finished speaking in one breath, he felt as if he was drunk, and he smiled happily after sitting down.
There was constant laughter in the Yang family, but there was mixed joy and sorrow in Yi Zhonghai's family.
Several people were guarding the dining table, but no one moved their chopsticks.
After Xiaodang and Huaihua finished eating, they ran out to play. Qin Huairu didn't care. There was nothing going on in the courtyard anyway.
At the dinner table, several people were silent.
The aunt still insisted on adopting a child for the simple reason that she could still move and wanted to feel like a mother again.
In the past, Yi Zhonghai said that she would find relatives when she grew up, but this time the Yang family gave her an idea, as long as she adopted an orphan, everything would be solved.
It was these two reasons that left Yi Zhonghai no room for refutation.
As for Silly Zhu Qin Huairu, he had no say in this matter at all, but Qin Huairu was still a little worried.
If they really bring back a boy, will these two people still give this house to Silly Zhu after a hundred years?
You know, the Jia family's house belongs to her now, and Shazhu has been thinking about the Yi family's house.
If the house is given to Silly Zhu, wouldn’t it still be his in the end?
When the topic came up, everyone was silent.
Yi Zhonghai was even more touched this time because the pressure placed on him by his eldest mother was unprecedented.
In the past, he was the one who made the final decision on all the big and small things in the family, and the eldest mother had no sense of presence.
But this doesn't mean that aunts can be ignored.
If so, when he could not have children earlier, he could have divorced her, or even divorced her later, and found a new one who could have children.
But he didn't. It wasn't that he was so loyal to his aunt because he refused to leave the house, but he didn't dare to do so.
The two have known each other for many years, and they still have no secrets.
So this time I realized Auntie's determination, and Yi Zhonghai also knew that this matter could not be solved.
"In that case, I agree."
After much thought, Yi Zhonghai finally decided to comply with Auntie's wish, otherwise the future would be difficult.
"Lao Yi, do you agree?"
The eldest mother seemed unable to believe it and spoke again.
Qin Huairu next to her glanced at Yi Zhonghai, then lowered her head.
"I've been sorry for you all these years."
With a long sigh, the aunt shook her head, and then her whole body came to life as if she were a different person.
"Okay, now that it's all said and done, then this matter is over. I'll go to the street office tomorrow to register and it's done, right?"
Silly Zhu couldn't stand it any longer and quickly urged.
Qin Huairu glanced at Silly Zhu, wondering if he really didn't take the house seriously or if he was really stupid.
The eldest mother had a smile on her face and was ready to greet her for dinner.
Silly Zhu stopped him, "Now that you've talked about it, I still have something to talk about with you."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I have been holding this in for a long time, and it almost choked me to death."
"Master, for this, we have to do something first and then talk about it."
Yi Zhonghai nodded with a smile, the two touched the wine cups, took a sip, and then spoke out what was on their mind under the curious eyes of Qin Huairu and Auntie.
"Let's go to the subdistrict office in the afternoon. The responsible officer Xiao Li told us."
"Because we actively participated in the rescue operation, performed very well and made outstanding contributions to the revolution, the superior leaders considered it..."
Silly Zhu said proudly, while Qin Huairu and Aunt Ma suddenly smiled.
On the night of the earthquake, Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu took the initiative to participate in the rescue operation. The news spread and they were praised by the neighborhood office.
Finally, Shazhu's labor punishment time was reduced by half a year, which means that the punishment will end in August this year.
By then Shazhu will be considered free again.
As for Yi Zhonghai, considering his age and the fact that he was helping out this time, his superiors decided to go to Caojiagou every time when farming was busy and stay in Sijiucheng at other times.
There are gains and losses.
"Well, does this mean good things come in pairs?"
Silly Zhu laughed, Qin Huairu rolled his eyes, and then smiled and said, "Good things come in pairs indeed. No wonder I have to buy biscuits for Sophora japonica."
"Look what you said, I can buy biscuits for my daughter anytime."
"It's just money, it's not like I don't have it."
As he spoke, he patted his pockets and looked like he had money.
Yi Zhonghai and the other three also laughed when they saw Silly Zhu acting like this.
Because Shazhu is really rich.
After reaching a deal with Qin Jingru, Shazhu helped Qin Jingru build a house during this period. Although his craftsmanship was not very good and he was not professional, it was finally built. It rained two days ago and there was no leakage.
This is pretty good.
More importantly, most of the materials were originally collapsed walls, so only a small part of the state's subsidy was used, and the rest was divided equally between the two families.
"Okay, I know you have money, so hurry up and eat."
Qin Huairu said angrily, and Sha Zhu proudly picked up the wine bottle and poured it for Yi Zhonghai.
I heard shouts from outside, and I couldn't help but sneer in my heart.
Even Yan Fugui, the abacus master, is on the table, but these people are not very good.
...
Early the next morning, while Ran Qiuye was still dazed, he heard the movement in the yard and hurriedly opened his eyes and prepared to get up.
As a result, the next second, my legs felt sore, and my chest was pressed by an arm.
Only then did he realize his situation and hurriedly pushed Yang Xiaotao away, then found some clothes and put them on.
"What's wrong?"
"Get up quickly, there's something going on outside."
Ran Qiuye glanced at Yang Xiaotao, especially at his lower abdomen. This guy had hurt her last night.
At this time, Yang Xiaotao also heard the noise outside and hurriedly found clothes and put them on.
Then the two opened the door and saw Miaomiao fetching water in the yard.
"Miaomiao, why do you get up so early?"
Yang Xiaotao stepped forward, carrying the bucket, and spoke a little harshly. Miao Miao stood aside and was at a loss.
Ran Qiuye yawned and walked over and looked at the time. Not many people in the courtyard were up.
"Dad, Mom, I, I couldn't sleep, so I just got up and cooked."
"I used to get up so early at home."
Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye looked at each other, with a hint of sadness in their wry smiles.
Look, these are our own children, how sensible they are.
Looking at the other three, they are probably still sleeping soundly on their stomachs.
"Miaomiao, don't get up early anymore. If you can't sleep, just close your eyes."
"You're still growing taller. If you don't sleep well, your body won't be able to keep up. Do you understand?"
Ran Qiuye said seriously, "Besides, your parents don't want you to do this. You are still a child, so just do what children should do."
"Have fun, study hard, and live a good life."
"Mom and dad will take care of the rest, okay?"
Miaomiao nodded, and then Ran Qiuye pulled her towards the house.
When the two of them entered the house, Yang Xiaotao also wanted to go in, but found that Ran Qiuye had closed the door.
I had no choice but to hang out in the courtyard and wait for breakfast.
"Hey, it's not like you to get up so early."
The old Taoist voice came from the Moon Gate. Yang Xiaotao looked at it and then joked, "The older you get, the less you sleep."
"Hey, that's right. I can't sleep, especially if it's noisy in the middle of the night."
When Yang Xiaotao heard this, he knew what this guy was talking about, "How about I ask the third aunt from the street to pay attention to you?"
"Infinite Heavenly Lord!"
"The old Taoist is devoted to the Tao. Please don't try to destroy my Taoist heart."
"Tch, I don't believe you. Did you give me Lao Yu's wine?"
The old Taoist said nothing and walked out quickly.
Yang Xiaotao quickly followed, "But this wine is really strong. Old Master, do you have any more..."
As they talked, the two walked out, out of the gate, outside the alley, and then to the breakfast shop.
It's still the same decoration, with portraits of great figures on one side and special slogans on the other, "10 points of targets, 12 points of measures, 24 points of motivation!"
The two of them entered the store, and there were not many people eating, so they ordered fried dough sticks and soy milk, and the old man ordered an extra portion of soy milk.
"This stuff is like pot water, you can drink it."
The old Taoist didn't take it seriously, "This is called authentic."
Yang Xiaotao pouted, "This is asking for trouble."
The two of them ate, and Yang Xiaotao bought another pound of fried dough sticks and two bowls of soy milk. As for the eggs, they had them at home.
On the way home, Yang Xiaotao told Lao Tao about what happened in the morning. After hearing this, Lao Tao couldn't help but admire, "You must train such a precocious child well."
"I can't say, he is really his future successor."
"I like to hear this."
When I returned to the courtyard, there were already many people in the courtyard.
And what happened in the morning was also known to the people in the courtyard.
In addition to lamenting their past experiences, more people praised Miaomiao for being sensible.
The eldest mother got up early to clean up the house and at the same time prepared to go to the street office to submit an application.
At this time, when I heard the praises given to Miaomiao in the courtyard, my heart was filled with longing.
