After get off work, Yang Xiaotao went to the vegetable market, walked around, bought some vegetables, walked to a deserted place, took out the meat, and took some eggs, and then carried them back to the courtyard.
When passing by the front yard, Yan Fugui was cleaning at home. It was probably that something good was about to happen.
In the middle courtyard, Mrs. Jia Zhang was still sitting in the familiar place, her eyes wide open.
However, Yang Xiaotao felt something was wrong in the past two days. He always felt that something was missing. It was not until Banggeng ran out of the house that Yang Xiaotao realized that Banggeng was not greedy anymore?
Usually if someone has something delicious, this guy will ask Jia and Zhang for it.
Why have you been so good these days?
Something is wrong.
"Buying so much meat will make you sick to death!"
As they passed the door, Jia Zhang's broken voice sounded again.
Yang Xiaotao ignored the old pious woman and instead looked at Bang Gang and Xiao Dang.
Unexpectedly, Banggeng still swallowed his saliva greedily, but did not cry out for meat.
"Heh~"
"You really can't hold it back!"
Yang Xiaotao only thought that the lesson given last time was profound enough and did not think about other things.
After returning home, Yang Xiaotao prepared a table of dishes, drank wine with Uncle Chen, and talked about things to pay attention to when getting married.
Uncle Chen was on the sidelines making plans, explaining clearly how to pick up the bride and how to hold the ceremony.
Aunt Chen said to pay attention to the details and don't violate taboos.
Of course, this was the way he met back then. In the new society, weddings in the new era don't have so many rules, but you still have to pay attention to what should be paid attention to.
Yang Xiaotao kept it in mind to avoid making jokes when possible.
Finally, when it came to setting up a banquet, Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen felt that they should not set it up in the yard as it would only be a source of discomfort with those few families there.
Yang Xiaotao also thinks so, and has been thinking about where to set up two tables these days.
After eating, Yang Xiaotao washed up, sat at his desk, picked up his brush and started practicing.
Calligraphy requires time and accumulation and cannot be accomplished overnight.
After practicing for a while, I put away the table, took out a book from the bookshelf, and looked at it quietly.
Outside the window, water droplets floated up from nowhere and hit the ground, and the whole night sky was filled with the sound of rain.
Yangjiazhuang.
Mr. Yang looked at the falling rain and walked into the house.
Yang Dazhuang also followed.
"Master, everything is ready!"
“Every family contributed a little, and finally we got it together!”
Yang Dazhuang said, a little embarrassed, "It's just a little missing, I can only make one bed!"
Mr. Yang picked up the pipe and pot and lit it.
"It's all the folks' wishes, and Xiaotao is not a stingy person!"
"The things he has done to the village over the years mean he is not a narrow-minded person!"
"Tell the villagers, as long as you have this intention, don't worry too much! As a grandfather, I understand for them!"
Yang Dazhuang nodded, but in his heart, he still placed Yang Xiaotao's position very high.
Without Yang Xiaotao, their Yangjiazhuang would not be what it is today.
Look at the surrounding villages, those little girls are rushing to marry into the village, just to have enough to eat?
Isn't it the school in Xiangzhong Village?
There is no shortage of wives for the young men in the village. They have given birth to more children in the past two years and are able to support them. They are living more vigorously as time goes by.
And what brought all this was Yang Xiaotao’s corn, Yang Xiaotao!
"Dazhuang! I told Xiaotao that when the time comes to welcome the bride, our village will have to leave people."
"You should go and run when the time comes!"
Yang Dazhuang became excited after hearing this.
He had wanted to do this for a long time, but he was too embarrassed to say it. After all, it was the elders who got married, and in this village, there were many people who were more suitable than him.
"Master, don't worry, you will never let Yangjiazhuang suffer any loss!"
"Um!"
The rain became violent and splashed a layer of dust on the ground.
"Come on, come on!"
"Drink enough water and you will be strong. This year will be another good harvest!"
The two men looked at the rain outside the house and fell into deep thought.
Time followed the footsteps of the rain, and slowly came to September. The corn in the fields had entered the maturity stage, and the children who were herding cattle also walked into the classroom, sat at the table, and read aloud about the beauty of the new era.
Ran Qiuye has returned to school, and Yang Xiaotao has been alone during this period.
Back to simple life again.
Get up, exercise, eat, go to work, get off work, eat, read, sleep.
Occasionally practice thrusting in the morning, warm up, and move your body.
Or I would go home, put away my pen and ink, and practice calligraphy with Fang Qiu.
Life is like a wind-up alarm clock, passing by bit by bit.
alive.
After riding his bicycle out of the courtyard and arriving at the factory, Yang Xiaotao started his day's work.
The wedding day is getting closer and closer, Yang Xiaotao wants to complete the last ring, but of course he still lacks a watch so that Ran Qiuye can tell the time.
It’s not easy to get radio tickets, so I can only place my hope on Director Yang’s wooden box. Let’s take a look when the time comes.
If it doesn’t work, I’ll buy it again in the future!
As for the watch, Yang Xiaotao can think of a way.
Watches do not require proof of registration like bicycle tickets. Many people now carry watches. As long as they can get a watch ticket, there is basically no problem.
However, setting the target on the rolling mill is overkill, and there is still time, let’s take another look.
If that doesn't work, go to Pigeon Market and take a look.
The difficult period is over and Pigeon Market is back in business.
Yang Xiaotao thought about Shen Lin, who had done business before, and didn't know how he was doing recently. He had time to find out.
While Yang Xiaotao was at work, Gao Yufeng from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences looked at the information on hand and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just today, the data at the grain station was finally checked. After some calculations, the conclusion reached was the same as he had expected.
It is precisely with this new type of corn that these villages can hand over enough public surplus grain.
Moreover, he also heard that a primary school was opened in Yangjiazhuang. Who would have the energy to do this unless they were full?
Putting down the information, Gao Yufeng picked up the phone.
After dialing, an old voice came from the other side.
The two talked briefly for a few minutes, then Gao Yufeng put on the phone and got up to go out.
Half an hour later, Gao Yufeng left the journal hall.
The natural science journal, which originally had other tasks, directly disrupted the arranged version, and the entire page was occupied by a paper called "Hybrid Corn".
Of course, along with the issuance of the paper, there is also a manuscript fee of thirty yuan.
This is already the highest standard of manuscript fee that Gao Yufeng can earn. Calculating the number of words, it is nearly six yuan for one thousand words. In this era when the average per capita is five yuan, it is quite a lot.
They all earn more than Jia Dongxu.
Yang Xiaotao didn't know that the royalties were coming. At this time, he was urgently processing workpieces in the workshop.
The task is heavy and the work is urgent. This is the situation in the steel rolling mill at the moment.
In other words, the entire Forty-Nine Cities and the entire land of China are working hard and vigorously in this trend.
Different from the tense atmosphere in the steel rolling mill, the courtyard was peaceful. Wangcai followed Ran Qiuye to Yangjiazhuang. The whole courtyard was no longer guarded, and it became a coveted existence by Jia Zhang and Bang Gang.
If Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen hadn't been watching at home, Banggeng would have rushed in and picked those red and orange tomatoes home!
"You are so old that you can't get along with a child when you are old."
Mrs. Jia Zhang was sitting at the door and cursing, feeling panicked as she watched Banggeng trying to get in several times without finding a chance.
"Mom! So many people are watching!"
Qin Huairu was washing clothes in the yard. Their house was close to the faucet, so it was convenient to use water.
But because of this, many people wash vegetables and clothes here. Being so close, everything going on in the Jia family is seen.
Especially BangGeng, who is careless.
Wouldn't she be so stupid as to think that these people would protect Bangge?
As long as Banggeng dares to go in and get something, someone will tell him when Yang Xiaotao comes back.
Most of the people in the hospital could see this last time when Yang Xiaotao said something in a few words.
Regardless of status or strength, Yang Xiaotao's status in this courtyard is incomparable.
In the past, she could build relationships with neighbors through the opportunity of walking around, but this relationship was not strong at all, especially in the face of Yang Xiaotao's strong strength and "financial resources", people would always be very realistic.
"Hmph! So what if I saw it? A kid like Bangjie is so greedy for one!"
"A group of heartless people have been living in this courtyard for so many years. I didn't expect that they are all a group of snobs."
"Hey, when Lao Jia was here, who in this courtyard dared to glare at our family? My poor stickman, without grandpa, you will have to suffer with us..."
Mrs. Jia Zhang kept talking non-stop, and everyone in the courtyard who heard it turned their heads away, as if they didn't know what was going on!
In these years, if you hadn't been suppressed by your uncle, how could you be so arrogant?
It's okay now, the Yang family is up, let's see what you do in the future!
Several old women looked at each other and took their things to the front yard to stay away from this old woman.
When Jia Zhang saw everyone being sprayed away by her, she proudly raised her head to the stick.
When Banggeng saw it, he immediately thought about it. He looked at Yang Xiaotao's yard, thinking about how to run in, take it and leave.
At this moment, Officer Li from the front yard and street office walked into the yard.
The third aunt was chatting and laughing with some of her young daughters-in-law. Yan Jiecheng's good things will happen next week. The two families have already set a date and are waiting for the bride price!
This can be regarded as taking advantage of the old couple's desire to get married in front of Yang Xiaotao to avoid any further troubles.
The three daughters-in-law were all asked to help by the third aunt. When the banquet is held in the courtyard, this family will need to borrow some plates and the other family will get two bowls. They need to agree in advance.
When it comes to carrying dishes, picking out door curtains, etc., you have to find a good person. When you get busy that day, your feet don’t even touch the ground.
As a parent, that's it.
"Hey, Director Li, why do you have time to come here today?"
"If there is anything at the street office, just give your orders. We will definitely respond!"
When the third aunt saw it, she immediately came over to say hello.
Don't reach out to hit the smiling person. Director Li works in this area, so naturally he can't be cold-faced. When the third aunt came over, he only exchanged greetings.
"Nothing else. The street office is here to help with the housing. Come here and give the housing book to Uncle Chen and the others!"
"I heard that your Yan Jiecheng is getting married, congratulations!"
"You go first, I'll go to the middle courtyard!"
After Director Li finished talking about the house, the third aunt was stunned.
house!
House!
They have always had a headache about Yan Jiecheng's life after getting married. Although there is a separate room in the house as a wedding room, their house is only so big, so they still have several children living in the same room with them. If Yan Jiecheng gets married again, this house will
I can't live any longer!
Now that I heard about the house, no matter what, I have to ask about it!
As soon as I came back to my senses, I saw Director Li leaving and walking to the middle courtyard.
The third aunt dropped her things and ran up immediately.
In the middle courtyard, Mrs. Jia Zhang was encouraging Banggan to hurry up and run out as long as she took two tomatoes, leaving the other things next time.
Qin Huairu was also a little nervous, looking around from time to time to look at the way back.
Just when Banggan was about to rush in, Qin Huairu saw a figure walking in, and her heart suddenly lifted.
