Chapter 42 Shock
The atmosphere at the table was lively, and the old man was drinking wine with a complacent expression.
Finally, he said to Director Wang and the other two.
"Girl, Brother Chen, the old man wants to ask you for a favor!"
Director Wang is also a hero among women, and he enjoys drinking.
"Old party secretary, you can always say so, you're welcome."
Uncle Chen also smiled and nodded.
Mr. Yang put down his wine glass and said, "I blame you for this. I didn't see clearly at the beginning and found a marriage for Xiao Tao."
"Now that things have come to this point, it's superfluous to say anything. Me. , I’m afraid that this child will feel uncomfortable and find himself in trouble.”
“So, please help this child, don’t let his family be broken.”
Director Wang listened and nodded in agreement. This is an easy matter. The street office also does it every year. It is a normal business.
On the side, Yang Xiaotao wanted to say something less urgent, but in front of Mr. Yang, he did not dare to say it.
After lunch, Yang Xiaotao and Yang Shitou went to buy seeds together, while Mr. Yang rested at home.
When he came to the supply and marketing cooperative, Yang Shitou bought various seeds according to the needs of the village, and Yang Xiaotao also took the opportunity to buy some.
There are cabbage, potatoes, eggplants, tomatoes, etc. There are not many of each.
"Xiao Tao, you bought so much, where do you plant it?"
"I'm thinking about tidying up the yard and planting vegetables so that I can eat freely in the future."
Yang Shitou nodded. Every household has a vegetable garden, and even if they don’t have enough food to eat, they will sell some to support the household.
Back home, Yang Shitou took out a small bag of beans and an egg, then went to the entrance of the alley and fed the donkey.
The children at the entrance of the alley were very surprised when they saw the donkey eating eggs, and then they became envious.
But in Yang Xiaotao's view, this is normal.
You know, a donkey takes on a lot of tasks at this time. It relies on it for transportation in the village, farming, and travel.
Just like this, ordinary villages may not have it.
So, every donkey is valuable in the current countryside.
People would rather eat less themselves than let the donkey eat well, because this consumption is nothing compared to the contribution it makes.
After the matter is settled, Mr. Yang will go back.
This trip is a far journey.
Yang Xiaotao picked up the remaining wine and meat in paper and put it on the donkey cart. Mr. Yang did not stop him.
However, when Yang Xiaotao took out the seventy yuan, Mr. Yang looked solemn and refused.
Even Director Wang who was seeing him off was also shocked.
This amount of money is not small.
"Master, my monthly salary in this city is enough."
"Besides, this is a reward. I use it to help people in need. This is what the higher-ups want to see." "
"Take this money back and give it to the people in need in the village. It's a small favor for me and my dad."
It's not good for Mr. Yang to see Yang Xiaotao insist on this. He refused, but he had other ideas in mind.
Before leaving, Mr. Yang still called Yang Xiaotao to his side and touched his head with a pair of calloused hands.
"Son, I don't have much time. It's not easy to come and see you once. From now on, you have to walk your own way."
"The men from Yangjiazhuang will not cause trouble. But there is nothing to be afraid of."
"Go back to the village when you have time, it is your root!"
Yang Xiaotao burst into tears and nodded speechlessly.
The old man waved his hand, and the donkey cart moved forward and left slowly.
Without the sight of the donkey cart, Yang Xiaotao and Director Wang walked back together.
"Aunt Wang, thank you."
Director Wang smiled. Now he is more and more satisfied with Yang Xiaotao. It is obviously not selfish to be able to give money to people in his hometown. people.
On the contrary, I became more and more dissatisfied with the three stewards in the yard.
Thinking in his heart, he said, "Auntie won't be happy if I say thank you again."
"Hehe"
"If anything happens in the future, come to my house to find me, at No. 3 Wangjia Hutong We will find out when we get to the hospital.”
“Yes, Wang. "Auntie, actually my grandpa said it was about finding a wife."
As Yang Xiaotao said, Director Wang smiled, thinking that he was in a hurry, but he didn't want Yang Xiaotao to say, "I still want to wait." Eight, if it weren’t for my father’s problem, it wouldn’t be so early.”
Director Wang was stunned for a moment and then asked with certainty.
"Xiao Tao, you won't be conflicted about this, right?"
"No, no, I'm serious. As you know, I have just started in the steel rolling mill, and my work requires Progress, so as to improve the quality of life.”
"I just want to wait until my ability improves and I earn more money. If I find a wife, I won't be at a loss."
Yang Xiaotao said, he himself was a little incoherent, but Director Wang, as someone who has experienced it, , it can be seen at a glance that Yang Xiaotao really does not want to find a wife.
This must be related to the previous incident, but she is experienced and knows that things cannot be rushed and can only be done slowly.
“Okay, I’ll give you a look first, and I’ll let you know if I find something suitable.”
“Hey, thank you Aunt Wang.”
“ Thank you, little bastard. Come to my house tomorrow and recognize me. We will all be relatives from now on. Don’t ignore me when you see me.”
“Well, okay”
The two made an appointment and separated at the entrance of the alley.
On the other side, the master was sitting in the car, and Yang Shitou hesitated.
Pa
Stopped on the forehead, "Shitou, if you have anything to say, tell me, what does your mother-in-law look like?"
Shitou chuckled.
"Master, this money?" "What's wrong, you want it?"
"No, no, no, this is not me, this is not it, the second master's house collapsed, do you think you can do it?" ..."
At the end, the voice became lower and lower.
Mr. Yang sighed, and then said cheerfully.
"This money will be used to build houses for the whole village. From now on, there will be no more house collapses."
"Hey, good, good!"
Tou Shi was very happy. The whip was also whipped up.
"Also, flip down my old house. From now on, it will be Yang Xiaotao's ancestral home!"
Tou Shi was stunned again, but soon became more happy.
"Hey, okay, great!"
"This is a family."
In rural areas, as long as there is a house in the village, it means it has roots and it is a family.
"Hurry up and hurry up. Let's go home to meet my old brother and have another drink."
The old man patted the wine bottle and paper bag beside him, and his smile became even brighter.
"Master, sit still and drive~~"
Night, courtyard.
Jia family.
Since Mr. Yang and the two came, Qin Huairu took Jia Zhang home on the spot and stayed quietly in the house, not going out or doing anything.
Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu also knew what was going on, so the Jia family was particularly quiet today.
Only then did the door of the house open. Qin Huairu was washing clothes with a basin in her hands and saying hello to the neighbors.
It’s just that after today’s incident, her originally warm neighbor always seemed distant, which made her efforts these days in vain.
With a forced smile on his face, Qin Huairu was filled with sorrow.
Similarly, Silly Zhu, who always likes to watch the excitement, is also staying in the house. He is stupid but not really stupid. He comes from the countryside, especially the family of a martyr. He has beaten Japanese and killed people. The fierce look in his eyes made him frightened.
Yi Zhonghai did not go home, but came to the deaf old lady's house in the backyard. Now he was a little undecided and wanted to hear the old lady's opinion.
The old deaf lady has been staying in the backyard today, but she is not deaf and can hear clearly what is going on in the middle courtyard.
When she heard that the visitor was a loyal person, she couldn't stand listening anymore.
When you are in front of others, you just do whatever you want, so you turn around and go back to the house.
"His uncle, you must be more fair in matters in this yard from now on."
"Also, I understand Yang Xiaotao. As long as you don't mess with him, he will not come forward. ”
"That's it from now on, just throw him aside and tell Si Zhu and the Jia family not to provoke him."
"This compound must be stable."
Yi Zhonghai nodded, Only when the situation is stabilized can we continue planning.
"His eldest brother, do you really don't want it anymore?"
The deaf old lady changed the topic, "You are not even fifty yet, and his eldest mother still has time, don't you Have you tried it?”
"You have to understand that other people's children are not as good as your own. When you get to my age, you can't regret it anymore."
Yi Zhonghai looked pale, "Old lady, how much money have we spent over the years? Obviously, it doesn’t cost money, but we We really don't have that fate."
"Oh! If it doesn't work, it's still too late."
"Let's talk about it." When the second uncle returned home, he knew what happened today.
Especially about getting the reward, I complained in my heart that the second aunt didn't call him back. I missed such a beautiful thing. I really regret it.
As for what happened next, he also heard about it.
I also knew in my heart that I could no longer treat Yang Xiaotao like before.
However, if you ask him to change now, he can't do it.
Unless Yang Xiaotao really helps him.
At the third uncle's house, Yan Fugui pinched some peanuts and said to the third aunt, "Look, I used to think that this kid was helpless and easy to bully."
"Look from now on, if this is the case Anyone who dares to bully him will be offended. "It's a hornet's nest."
The third aunt nodded and stroked her belly, "Seventy yuan, I gave it as soon as I said it. It's really..."
Yang Xiaotao didn't avoid people when giving money. Many people in the front yard saw it.
“This is called family.”
Yan Fugui lamented that he was also an outsider in the compound, but the Yan family did not have such a backing.
"From now on, you and Yang Xiaotao will walk around more at home."
"Yeah!"
In the Xu family, Xu Damao was eating his meal in a dull mood, "A bunch of country bumpkins , what’s so arrogant?”
Pa
Xu's father hit the back of his hand with a chopstick, making Xu Damao tremble. Xu's mother on the side quickly asked, "Why do you do it properly!"
"What? Are you saying this casually?"
Father Xu's face was solemn. Xu Damao also realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly looked out the window.
In this era, the poorer you are, the more glorious you are, not to mention that the other party is full of loyal martyrs. If someone is heard speaking ill of martyrs, a fight is inevitable.
“Be more thoughtful when speaking from now on.”
Xu's father put down his chopsticks, and then warned, "It's okay, don't mess with Yang Xiaotao."
"Those people are really aggressive and never ambiguous!"
Xu Damao lowered his head after hearing this and pulled hard. With food.
