Outside the kitchen, Yi Zhonghai was talking to Si Zhu.
Two days ago, the third uncle Yan Fugui asked him to prepare a banquet for his family Yan Jiecheng. Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but want to lose face. At the same time, he also wanted to win over Yan Fugui and pave the way for what would happen next, so he agreed.
"Master, let Mr. Yan speak for himself on this matter."
"This is a banquet for others, at least this number."
Silly Zhu stretched out five fingers and said, "If Yan Laoji comes here, since they are all from the same hospital, I will give him a discount, just four yuan per table!"
Yi Zhonghai smiled on the side, "Zhuzi, since Yan Fugui has found me, then this matter is my business. You have to give me my respect!"
Silly Zhu immediately laughed and said, "Look at what you said, can I not give you the respect of the great master?"
"Come on, one dollar, you have to let me earn some!"
Silly Zhu said, Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, the voice on the radio rang, and both of them looked ugly after listening for a moment.
"Damn it, Yang Xiaotao, got another benefit!"
Si Zhu was indignant, but Yi Zhonghai frowned and left in a hurry.
After he finished inquiring about the news, everyone stood stunned on the spot.
"Don't touch it, don't mess with it, don't mess with it again!"
Yi Zhonghai murmured, and the secret in his heart warned him that if he continued like this, he would only be asking for his own death.
After a long while, Yi Zhonghai let out a long breath.
If you can't mess with him, you can only hide!
boom
Liu Haizhong put the lunch box on the table and then pulled it up. Xu Damao sat next to him with an ugly expression on his face.
"Second uncle, have you heard?"
"Humph, the whole factory is spreading rumors, and I'm not deaf!"
Xu Damao lowered his head. The better Yang Xiaotao was, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Especially Lou Xiao'e's look was even more disgusting.
"Second uncle, I heard that Yang Xiaotao is going to be the leader of the R&D team. Do you know what he will do?"
Mentioning this, Liu Haizhong felt even more uncomfortable.
He had always wanted to be an official, but after working for so long he was still a worker. Now compared with Yang Xiaotao, he was far behind.
He has asked the director. The leader of this R&D team has the same status as the deputy director.
Deputy Director, why isn’t he?
Damn Yang Xiaotao!
"have no idea!"
"Second uncle, you said this kid..."
In the courtyard, Ran Qiuye cleaned up the inside and outside of the house, and then looked at the side of the yard.
The three children were absentmindedly sweeping the floor with a sweeping pole. Among them, the one with weak legs and feet was the boss of the Jia family. Every time he looked at him, his little eyes were filled with sternness.
Recalling what Yang Xiaotao told her about what happened in the yard, at first she had some thoughts about Yang Xiaotao making it difficult for a child, but now it seems that she understands.
My man is right, some people are destined not to get close to them.
Ran Qiuye tidied up the yard, but the temporary pig pen made by Yang Xiaotao was not dismantled, thinking that it could also be used to raise chickens in the future.
In Yangjiazhuang, there are many chicken farmers, and the eggs they lay can be exchanged at the pigeon market. Many of the food used by the children at home is made from the chicken coop!
Ran Qiuye clapped his hands, then walked aside and picked a ripe tomato to eat.
Crisp and sweet, Ran Qiuye is very satisfied.
After looking at the ripe tomatoes, Ran Qiuye planned to make tomato scrambled eggs tonight, so he found a pot and picked them in the yard.
At this time, Aunt Chen walked out of the door and looked at the three children who came uninvited into the yard. Without saying anything, she walked up to Ran Qiuye.
"Auntie, come inside and sit down."
Seeing this, Ran Qiuye quickly led Aunt Chen into the house, and the two of them entered the house and closed the door.
Banggian on the side watched Ran Qiuye eating tomatoes, swallowing the saliva in his mouth, but he was also afraid of going there. Yang Xiaotao's yard was too evil, and his toes still hurt.
Not far away, Mrs. Jia Zhang put down the shoe mat in her hand and kept staring at Ran Qiuye.
"Bah, you're still a teacher. You don't have any sympathy at all. I think you are just a hen that can't lay eggs. Sooner or later you will be destitute."
Jia Zhang was indignant, especially when she saw Ran Qiuye eating tomatoes.
Sure enough, Lou Xiao'e was not found talking to the aunt in the distance. After hearing this, the two people's expressions changed, and then they went home.
After hearing this, Qin Huairu, who was drying the quilt on the side, lowered his head and flashed with envy and jealousy in his eyes. Finally, he regained his composure and shouted to Banggeng.
"Bangge, I'm home!"
As soon as Banggeng heard this, he immediately ran home with the sweeping column and looked back at Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang not far away.
When the two brothers saw this, they didn't wait much and ran to the front yard with the sweeping pole.
In the front yard, the third aunt didn't care about the two brothers' affairs, and her heart was focused on the eldest brother's marriage.
After a cordial and friendly conversation, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li’s marriage was finally decided on this Saturday.
The Yan family was bleeding heavily because of this wedding. They originally thought that a gift of twenty yuan would not be a problem, but with Yu Haitang's interference, they abruptly raised the price to thirty yuan.
This is far beyond current specifications.
But who let Yu Haitang know about Yang Xiaotao?
In this comparison, thirty yuan is really not much. At least one bicycle can compare, let alone two bicycles and a sewing machine!
well
They would be able to accept it if Yan Jiecheng was more promising, but who knew that Yan Jiecheng was wrong and refused to marry Li, which made them very passive.
I have no choice but to bite the bullet.
"Old man, you can go to the middle courtyard and ask again."
"It's hard for Yang Xiaotao to talk, but Ran Qiuye is also a teacher, and you are all teachers, so it's not necessarily impossible!"
The third aunt talked about the bicycle for the wedding and encouraged the third uncle to borrow the bike.
Yan Fugui thought so. Yang Xiaotao was stingy, but Ran Qiuye might not be stingy.
Besides, we are all teachers, so we should still give them some face.
"Okay, I'll go take a look!"
After saying that, Yan Fugui patted his butt and walked to the middle courtyard.
Arriving at the middle courtyard, Yan Fugui looked at Jia Zhang in the courtyard, without saying hello, he went straight to Yang Xiaotao's house.
"What's the air? I just want to find a daughter-in-law, huh!"
"What's so good about it!"
Mrs. Jia and Zhang quarrel with the sky, the earth, and the air. Anyone who is better off than her family is the target of her curse.
Especially when Yan Jiecheng found a daughter-in-law in the city, she was naturally better off than her family finding a wife in the countryside, which made her even more uncomfortable.
Now look at it, her family is the only one in this courtyard who has found a country wife, which makes her a little bit unable to hold her head up.
In the room, Qin Huairu naturally knew what her mother-in-law was thinking, and she didn't ask for trouble.
Yan Fugui knocked on the door of Yang Xiaotao's house. Inside, Ran Qiuye and Aunt Chen were chatting about home affairs. When they heard the knock on the door, they quickly came out to take a look.
"Teacher Yan!"
Ran Qiuye looked at Yan Fugui and did not address him as Third Master like the others. After all, she had not been through the door yet and was not from this compound.
"Hey, Teacher Ran, are you busy?"
"Just finished cleaning up!"
Ran Qiuye said, Yan Fugui looked into the room, and Ran Qiuye generously invited Yan Fugui in.
No matter what, they are all guests, not to mention that the Yan family is not the Jia family.
Under Yang Xiaotao's subtle influence, Ran Qiuye has accepted the situation of not having contact with the Jia family until death, but other people in the courtyard who can speak will not be cold-faced.
The two of them entered the house.
"Aunt Chen is here too!"
Suspicion flashed in Yan Fugui's eyes. The Chen family and Yang Xiaotao were too close. This was not a good sign!
"The third uncle is here!"
Aunt Chen said something but didn't get up.
Ran Qiuye poured the water and handed it to Yan Fugui with all the courtesy. Yan Fugui nodded in his heart, he was worthy of being a scholar.
Well
He is also a scholar!
Can't lose weight!
"Teacher Ran, I took the liberty of visiting you. I really have something to discuss with you."
Yan Fugui began to ramble, "My family is getting married this Saturday. We still need your help with some things."
Ran Qiuye listened and said calmly.
"Teacher Yan, you're welcome. Although I'm in this family, some things still have to be decided by the head of the household. Some things, even if I say them, don't count."
"You tell me first, we will help you if we can."
"Yes, I definitely can, I'm just a little busy!"
Yan Fugui thought it was interesting, at least Ran Qiuye's performance was not as unsatisfactory as Yang Xiaotao's.
Later, Yan Fugui told him that he would need a bicycle to meet his bride, and Ran Qiuye thought it was no big deal.
These days, every wedding would borrow a bicycle for the bride to sit on, and it would be a scenic ride along the way.
"That's no problem. I won't be using my bike on Saturday, so I can lend it to you then!"
Yan Fugui thought about it, women's bicycles are also fine, and they are more expensive and have face.
I immediately felt proud that my plan was done.
"Teacher Ran, thank you..."
The voice fell, and before he could continue speaking, another voice suddenly came.
"Is this Comrade Yang Xiaotao's home?"
Ran Qiuye heard an unfamiliar voice and quickly went out to take a look.
Yan Fugui felt that the matter was done and did not want any more accidents to happen, so he said hello to Aunt Chen and left.
When I got married, I saw a green leather bag hanging on a big 28-carat at the door. The person pushing the cart was wearing post office clothes. You didn't need to look at it to see that he was a postman.
He knew the person coming, the postman from this area.
"The third uncle is also there!"
"Ah, Xiao Zhang, what's the matter with you?"
"This is a document that needs to be delivered to Comrade Yang Xiaotao and needs his signature!"
Xiao Zhang took out an envelope with a signature sheet on it.
After hearing this, Ran Qiuye stepped forward and said, "Hello, comrade, Comrade Yang Xiaotao is at work now and is not at home!"
"you are?"
"Hello, I am Ran Qiuye, Yang Xiaotao's partner!"
Yan Fugui reciprocated the favor and quickly introduced her, "Yes, yes, this is Comrade Yang Xiaotao's partner, and they will get married soon. You should be like her!"
"That's great, I don't have to make another trip!"
"Well, Comrade Ran Qiuye, these are Comrade Yang Xiaotao's items forwarded from the post office. Please sign for them!"
Then the envelope and documents were handed over to him, along with a pen.
After Ran Qiuye took it, he signed his name and was about to put it away.
Unexpectedly, the postman Xiao Zhang said it again.
"Comrade Ran Qiuye, this is a special item, please check it in person!"
Ran Qiuye was stunned, and Yan Fugui was also confused, but he quickly thought of something.
Generally, items being delivered do not need to be inspected. Only when money is involved will they be counted in person, right?
Yan Fugui looked at the envelope in Ran Qiuye's hand.
Ran Qiuye didn't think too much. After hearing what the postman said, he opened the envelope and took out the contents.
There was a piece of paper with several gray-printed banknotes underneath. Yan Fugui knew it was five yuan at a glance, and his eyes suddenly became hot.
Ran Qiuye took a look at the information on the paper and immediately understood that it was the royalties for Yang Xiaotao's last submission.
Since the high-yield corn incident has been exposed, there is no reason why the paper should not be discovered.
It’s just that the royalties are a lot.
Ran Qiuye clicked, and the number matched. It was thirty yuan, which was more than an ordinary worker's monthly salary.
Yan Fugui was itching to see it. He glanced from the side and realized that this was Yang Xiaotao's royalties. He was even more shocked.
"Comrade, the number is correct, there is no problem."
"Okay, that's fine."
Xiao Zhang said a few words, then pushed the cart away, followed by the children in the yard, full of novelties.
Ran Qiuye put the paper and envelope into an envelope and gave it to Yang Xiaotao when he came back.
When Yan Fugui saw that nothing was wrong, he returned to the front yard.
Mrs. Jia Zhang of the Intermediate Court frowned, wondering what the postman was doing here.
Several other aunties saw the postman asking for news.
In the front yard, after Yan Fugui told the third aunt about what he saw, it soon became known in the courtyard that Yang Xiaotao had earned thirty yuan in royalties.
Everyone was already numb.
Compared to an old sow, this thirty yuan is not much, but it is still enviable.
