Chapter 192 Looking for a job
Before leaving, the two of them agreed that they would go to Yangjiazhuang on the weekend to tell the village the good news and at the same time let Ran Qiuye know the way.
Maybe it was because he no longer had worries in his heart, or maybe because he got to know Ran Qiuye, Yang Xiaotao just felt relaxed and his thoughts were clear.
I started cooking when I got home.
Of course, he will not reveal it to the group of people in the yard, lest these guys come out and make people disgusted.
At night, after Yang Xiaotao finished his meal, he took out a bag of green tea from the space, made a cup of tea, and read quietly.
On the other side, Ran Qiuye, who left school, went straight back home.
The Ran family also lives in a courtyard with three entrances, but it is smaller in size and has not many residents.
Different from Yang Xiaotao’s courtyard house, the people living here have the unique spirit of this era. It’s OK to be poor, but not bad.
As a human being, you must have a conscience.
When Ran Qiuye returned to the courtyard, his face showed enthusiasm. He greeted his neighbors and walked all the way to the backyard back home.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother cooking, and my younger sister and younger brother next to me were playing. When I saw my eldest sister coming back, I immediately greeted her.
"Mom, eldest sister is back."
"eldest sister, why are you so early today?"
"eldest sister, can you buy me a candy man? Front Uncle Wang from the hospital bought one and I took a bite. It was so sweet!”
She felt extremely happy to have her sister and brother hugging her.
"Little brother, Mom said you can't eat candy. Your tooth hurts if you eat candy."
"Second sister, but the candy man is so delicious."
"That won't work either. , our family’s money still needs to buy stick noodles!”
The two said seriously in front of Ran Qiuye, Ran Qiuye took out two cents from his pocket with a smile and handed it to the second sister, “Take it out. Go play.”
When the two little adults saw it, they immediately ran to the front yard.
"Mom!"
"Hey, why are you back so early today?"
"You, you are spoiling them again!"
Ran The mother put down the noodle scoop in her hand, Ran Qiuye walked to her side, rolled up her sleeves, and pinched the dough head.
"Mom, the school has arranged a job for me."
"What kind of job?"
"Going to teach in a village below will make three yuan more per month than now."
Ran's mother raised her head and looked at Ran Qiuye.
“The village below?”
"Hmm!"
After a moment of silence, Ran's mother looked at her eldest daughter and sighed in her heart, "Qiuye, did you ask to go?"
Ran Qiuye's hand shook, knowing that her mother had seen through it. , didn’t speak, just kept his head down and worked.
“Alas!”
Ran’s mother sighed.
"Mom, don't think too much."
"I volunteered. Staying in school makes me feel uncomfortable. I just want to take this opportunity to go to the countryside."
"Besides, I I don’t think there’s anything wrong with going to the countryside. I can teach well instead of having nothing serious to do in school like now!”
Ran Qiuye said firmly, and Ran’s mother no longer objected after hearing this! , instead asked about school.
Seeing that her mother supported her, Ran Qiuye also told the story about Yangjiazhuang Elementary School. Of course, she didn't notice. After Ran's mother listened to the whole story, she found that the person who appeared most in Ran Qiuye's words was a steel rolling man named Yang Xiaotao. Factory worker.
After dinner, Ran Qiuye helped prepare things at home, but Ran's mother left the backyard, walked to the front yard, and came to the uncle's house in the yard.
After a while, Ran’s mother returned home again, as if nothing had happened.
In the early morning, Yang Xiaotao got up, got dressed, heated up the leftover steamed buns in a pot, and then practiced lunging in the yard for a while.
The thrusting skill is still at the elementary level now, and it has not improved no matter how hard I practice.
Finally, Yang Xiaotao guessed that if you want to upgrade, you need actual combat exercises.
After eating, Yang Xiaotao picked up his fishing rod and prepared to go to the West Sea.
The tank has been empty for a long time recently, so I just happened to catch a few more fish.
When I walked to the front yard, I met Yan Fugui who was also going out.
“Hey, Xiao Tao, you go fishing too!”
“Good morning, Mr. Third!”
"It's getting late. I can't find a good place now. It would be great if I had a bicycle."
Yan Fugui said as they met, and the two walked out of the alley together.
"By the way, what did the principal ask you for yesterday?"
Yan Fugui asked curiously. Last time, he vaguely mentioned that he could help buy school supplies, but Yang Xiaotao The guy ignored him at all, making all his plans go to waste.
"Nothing, just asking about school."
Yang Xiaotao would not tell him about Ran Qiuye. It was this guy in the movies and TV series who let Sha Zhu know that Ran Qiuye would not do anything after accepting the gift.
A shit stirrer.
Besides, if you let him know, wouldn’t the entire courtyard know about it?
Given the urinary nature of this group of people, what kind of ulterior motives can come from not being equal?
It’s better to keep it a secret.
"Xiao Tao, let me tell you, school work is not simple. You need qualifications and experience..."
Yan Fugui started to show off himself, Yang Xiaotao didn't want to say more, "Third uncle, I'm going to be late." There’s no place left, I’ll leave first.”
Ignoring Yan Fugui’s surprise, he speeded up and left.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao walking away, Yan Fugui had no choice but to speed up his pace.
If you go late, you will really have no place. In this way, when Yan Fugui came to the West Sea, many people around him had already started fishing.
Yan Fugui quickly found an open space, which happened to be not far from Yang Xiaotao.
At this time, something was already swaying in Yang Xiaotao's bucket, and he took a quick look and saw a fish swimming happily.
“Third uncle, hurry up!”
Yang Xiaotao lifted the pole, and a palm-sized carp was thrown up. He took it off and threw it into the bucket.
When Yan Fugui saw it, he immediately became greedy and quickly set up his posture to fish.
At ten o'clock, Yang Xiaotao looked at his watch and then at the fish that was having difficulty swimming. He put it away with satisfaction, then picked up a half-meter-long big fish next to him and got up to go home.
This is the second time I have caught such a big fish.
It’s just that this time it depends on your fishing skills.
On the side, Yan Fugui looked at the heavy fish bucket and the big fish hanging on the rope in his hand, his face almost twisted with envy.
Looking at his fish bucket again, I saw a small fish with long fingers turning its belly, which made me feel uncomfortable.
"Third uncle, I'm back, you continue."
Yang Xiaotao deliberately walked past Yan Fugui, and Yan Fugui's eyes became hot again.
I wanted to get some fish, but I saw many people watching around me, so I still didn’t feel embarrassed to ask.
Just after Yang Xiaotao left, Yan Fugui ran over, hoping to catch more fish with the help of Yang Xiaotao's feng shui treasure.
Yang Xiaotao once again ‘swaggered through the city’. People who recognized Yang Xiaotao along the way sighed again and received a lot of attention.
As for returning to the courtyard, let alone that, there is no third uncle in the front yard, but the third aunt is still there. In addition, the relationship with Yang Xiaotao has improved a lot this time, so she came up to her at this time and showed her kind smile. smile.
"Third aunt, the third uncle is behind, we have gained a lot this time."
Yang Xiaotao walked into the middle courtyard with a smile. After hearing this, the third aunt froze on the spot and looked back towards the alley. Mouth, there is no one.
But hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, a feeling of expectation arose in my heart.
Qin Huairu, who was looking after the child in the middle courtyard, looked straight at her. She didn't pull her neck back until Yang Xiaotao walked back to the house. Her eyes looked at the fish, full of longing.
Back at the house, Yang Xiaotao packed up the big fish on hand. With his level 4 cooking skills, braised fish was a piece of cake.
"Damn little beast, he eats fish, how can he not let the fish bones get stuck to death."
Jia Zhang held the stick in his arms, swearing in his mouth, and smelled the stick in his arms He smelled the fish smell and immediately started crying.
“Grandma, I want to eat fish.”
"Woooo. I want to eat fish."
While shouting, he ran to Yang Xiaotao's house.
But halfway through, he was blocked by Wangcai.
Banggeng stopped immediately when he saw Wangcai, his body trembled, and he took two steps back in fright.
Over the years, he has often been frightened by wealth, and every time he was frightened, it was useless to go to his grandma and mother.
Grandma even told him not to come near here.
Over time, the area around Yang Xiaotao’s home became a forbidden area for Bangge.
After their sister Xiaodang came out, this place became a forbidden place for them.
In fact, this place not only belongs to them, but also to their family of five.
Otherwise, Mrs. Jia Zhang would only dare to show her authority at the door and ask her to try it in front of Yang Xiaotao's house?
She doesn't have the guts.
“Dead dog, bad guy, big bad guy.”
Frightened, Bangge ran back into Jia Zhang’s arms and shouted at Yang Xiaotao’s house. In the end, he imitated grandma He looked like he was crying, "Damn it, you little beast" "Young, little beast."
"Haha, my dear grandson is right, damn little beast."
After hearing this, Jia Zhang felt that this eldest grandson was worthy of being a descendant of the Jia family. , so smart at such a young age, he will definitely be successful in the future.
Qin Huairu beside her looked at Xiaodang waving his little hands and making gestures at Wangcai, with a smile on his lips.
“Eat, eat.”
“I’ll see if you still want to eat in ten years.”
In the front yard, the third aunt looked at Yan Fugui I came back with the fish bucket and welcomed it with joy, but I saw only two fish, which was incomparable to Yang Xiaotao's harvest, and I felt disappointed.
Yan Fugui didn't say anything. He just said something about drinking fish soup, and walked to the back room angrily to relieve his depression.
During dinner, the aroma of fish meat came from the yard again, and could be smelled in the front and back yards. Naturally, there was another round of condemnation.
Xu Damao was sitting at the table, opposite Lou Xiao'e holding chopsticks. On the table were fried rice with eggs, fried meat with green peppers and a plate of shredded potatoes.
"Ezi, try it quickly."
Xu Damao looked attentive.
For their family, the poverty of life is not a problem at all.
Not to mention the things Xu Damao brought back from one of his trips to the countryside, even the monthly salary was enough for the two of them.
Coupled with the help from the Lou family and the help from Xu Damao's parents, life in this courtyard is enjoyable.
However, Xu Damao was well aware of the virtues of the people in the courtyard, and he did not have Yang Xiaotao's ability, so he ate all the good food behind closed doors.
When I get good things, I take them home secretly.
Recently, the relationship between the two has become closer. Xu Damao rarely spends nights outside, he does not smell like other women, and he still cares about his family, which makes Lou Xiaoe change his mind a lot.
He picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the green pepper, and nodded in response. Xu Damao looked happy and picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Lou Xiao'e said.
"Da Mao, I have been thinking about it in the past few days and I have something to tell you."
"You can say anything!"
"Yeah . In this way, it’s okay for me to stay at home all day long. The country encourages women to go out and build homes. I just want to find a job in the steel rolling mill!”
"What? No, Ezi, you are enjoying yourself at home, why are you going to the factory?"
