Chapter 201 Family
“Xiao Ran, is this your boyfriend?”
“This guy is okay, he’s energetic and sensible, not bad.”
"Qiuye has found a good boy, which is a great joy in our courtyard."
"Yes, when are we going to eat the wedding candy?"
Many people gathered in the courtyard, and some aunts began to ask. Ran Qiuye introduced Yang Xiaotao to the people around him with a blushing face and some pride. After knowing Yang Xiaotao's situation, he sighed again.
They all praised Ran Qiuye for his good fortune and finding a good home.
Yang Xiaotao took out his cigarettes and shared them with the uncles on the side, which could be considered as a way to get closer.
In the end, the two children were running ahead with a small bag on their shoulders. Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye took their things together and walked home.
Behind me, the comments are still there and the envy is still there.
Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye came to the courtyard and walked into the house.
The layout is the same as other courtyard houses, with two rooms facing the sun on both sides.
The master bedroom is large, and the second bedroom is small. The living room, kitchen and bedroom are integrated. There are not many appliances in the room. An old and tarnished cabinet is placed against the wall, and the table used is also somewhat old.
However, this home is clean and tidy.
When Yang Xiaotao came in, he saw a woman with gray hair cooking. When she saw Yang Xiaotao, she quickly wiped her hands on her apron and smiled.
Yang Xiaotao knew that this was Ran's mother, so she quickly put down her things, stepped forward and said respectfully, "Auntie! Hello."
"I am Yang Xiaotao."
When Ran's mother heard the words, she smiled. said.
"Just come, sit down!"
Then he saw a bunch of things brought, Ran Qiuye stepped forward and put the heavy basket on the table, "Mom, there's everything in here It’s an egg.”
When Ran's mother saw it, she stepped forward and took a look. There were not only eggs inside, but also a large piece of meat, just covering it.
"So many..."
The two children next to them also came over and handed the candy in their hands to their mother, showing off again.
"Okay, hurry up and pack it up."
Ran's mother came back to her senses and saw Yang Xiaotao still standing aside. She quickly asked her daughter to pack up and sent the two children out. Then he asked Yang Xiaotao to sit down.
"You kid, you brought so many things, you can't do this again."
After sorting out the things, Ran's mother estimated that this trip would cost at least ten yuan.
This does not include tickets.
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao waved his hands and said, "It's okay. Anyway, I am alone and I don't need so many things."
"I am alone now, and I will still be alone in the future. ? You can have a better life in the future. ”
When Ran's mother said this, she implicitly agreed to the matter between the two of them. Ran Qiuye, who was beside him, bowed his head and made peace with her face, with a smile on her face.
Yang Xiaotao grinned after hearing this, "Yeah, live a good life from now on."
Then he walked to the table, took a knife and started to chop the meat.
The three of them were busy. Yang Xiaotao was responsible for rolling out the dough, and the mother and daughter started wrapping it.
The two children ran back from outside and shouted around the table. They had just gone out to share candies with their friends in the yard, but they got a meal to show off.
I even clapped my hands and jumped up when I knew I was eating meat dumplings.
Ran Qiuye was even more happy when she saw that the smile on her mother's face had not fallen, and her eyes towards Yang Xiaotao were even softer
After making the dumplings, Ran's mother drove the two of them out of the kitchen and let them go. Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye were sitting on the steps in front of the house.
Two children ran over and stood next to Ran Qiuye.
“Xinrui, Red Soldier, don’t run around, we’ll have dinner later.”
Ran Qiuye looked after her sister and brother, and then introduced them to Yang Xiaotao.
The older sister Ran Xinrui is twelve years old and is in fifth grade at Hongxing Primary School.
Xiaodian’s younger brother, Ran Hongbing, is eight years old and has just entered the first grade.
Yang Xiaotao took out two apples from the house, one for each person, and they started to eat them.
Ran Qiuye also petted their little heads dotingly. The family has been in a tight situation these years, and even if the two children are taken care of, they don't have much life.
Otherwise, the reason why my little sister is not growing well now is because she is hungry and full.
Thinking of this, Ran Qiuye turned his head, "Thank you!"
Yang Xiaotao was a little confused by the sudden thank you.
But seeing the figures of the two children, I understood something.
Reach out your hand and hold Ran Qiuye's little hand.
Still cold and thin.
"It's okay!"
"With me in the future, things will get better."
Ran Qiuye nodded.
During dinner, everyone gathered around the table, and the two children looked forward to it.
The Ran family doesn't have many relatives in Sijiu City. Ran's father and Ran's mother are both from Zhejiang Province. Later they moved to Sijiu City, and they don't have much contact with the family.
Ran's mother took out the wine bottle, but Yang Xiaotao waved it down. It was his first time, so it was better to be serious.
After dinner, night falls.
It was also time for Yang Xiaotao to stand up and say goodbye, and Ran Qiuye sent him outside.
“Be careful on the road!”
"Don't worry, you should rest early."
Yang Xiaotao said, seeing no one around, he stepped forward and held Ran Qiuye in his arms.
"You, let go, there is someone!"
Ran Qiuye put his hands on his chest, his face hot.
Yang Xiaotao quickly kissed his forehead and then let go.
"I'm leaving, remember to miss me!"
He whispered softly in his ear, then turned around and left with a smile.
When Ran Qiuye saw Yang Xiaotao waving, he quickly looked around and found no one before waving.
Walking on the road, Yang Xiaotao kicked the stones on the side of the road.
This visit is just for a meeting, there are some things that I haven’t talked about yet.
Although I wish I could marry Ran Qiuye into the family immediately, I still have to take it step by step.
Moreover, some things have to be faced.
As the saying goes, the girl who gets married is the water she throws out.
Looking at the people in the courtyard, you will know that this girl is married and has her own family in mind. How can she take care of her own family?
Besides, I just want to help. It’s not easy for anyone these days. How can my in-laws not say anything?
Just like the Jia family, regardless of how life is at home, it is still better than Qinjia Village in the countryside.
Have you ever seen Qin Huairu bring something home?
The only few times, Jia Zhang’s permission was required.
No one felt anything wrong with this.
This is true even for the Qin family who married off their daughter.
But the current situation is that Ran's family is only supported by Ran Qiuye, and Ran's mother can only get some chores from the street office to support the family. If Ran Qiuye marries Yang Xiaotao, the backbone of the family will be gone.
Who cares about the lives of the two children in the future?
Maybe Ran Qiuye didn't think about it in this aspect, but Ran's mother did not have this concern. But in Yang Xiaotao's heart, this kind of thing is not a problem at all.
Although I was not married in my previous life, there were many only children at that time, and some families only had one daughter.
Therefore, after getting married, the couple must not only honor the parents-in-law, but also take care of the woman's parents.
This kind of thing happens so often that Yang Xiaotao doesn’t think there is anything wrong with it.
Everyone is made up of shit and urine, why should they be treated as splashed water?
In Yang Xiaotao's view, marriage is the neutralization of two families, forming a stable triangle, helping and supporting each other.
In this way, life can be stable.
As for the little help, he is not a loser like Jia Dongxu, who can't even support his family.
In a good mood, Yang Xiaotao walked back to the courtyard with his head full of stars.
Saturday, noon.
Yang Xiaotao returned to Yangjiazhuang.
At this time, Ran Qiuye was already in the village, but the relationship between the two was not revealed.
Although the masters and others had already brought the two together, Yang Xiaotao didn't nod, and even if Ran Qiuye showed his interest, the matter would not be brought to the table.
"Master!"
When Yang Xiaotao returned home, Master Yang was lighting the fire and preparing to cook. Yang Xiaotao looked at the stir-fried cabbage and steamed buns with stick noodles.
It’s not very good, but it can still fill your stomach.
Thanks to the high yield of corn, every household in Yangjiazhuang has food to fill their stomachs, which is already famous in the surrounding villages.
"I'm back, just in time. I'll bring the cooked rice to Qiuye."
At this time, Ran Qiuye is still in school. Someone usually delivers food at noon, and only returns home to eat in the evening.
Yang Xiaotao nodded after hearing this, then rolled up his sleeves, took out a piece of pork from his backpack, sliced it into pieces and stir-fried.
Mr. Yang didn't say much when he saw it. He had seen his great-grandson's craftsmanship before, and it was no worse than the chefs in the town.
"Master, let me tell you something."
Yang Xiaotao was cutting cabbage and talking with his head down.
“You said!”
“I’m with Qiuye.”
“What?”
“I’m with Qiuye Yes, I went to her house two days ago!”
Yang Xiaotao said affirmatively. Mr. Yang was stunned for a moment and stood up.
“Haha, not bad, not bad!”
“I just said that Qiuye is a good kid, and I was right.”
Mr. Yang was very happy with Yang Xiaotao’s decision. Satisfied and happy, he immediately said, "Call Da Zhuang and the others tonight and let's talk about it together. It will be lively."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, this matter must be formal, so that Qiuye can integrate into Yangjiazhuang. .
During lunch, Yang Xiaotao came to school carrying his lunch box.
Standing at the door of the classroom, Yang Xiaotao looked at a group of children sitting in front of the table. Everyone had a two-faced steamed bun in their hands. In front of them was either a porcelain bowl or a teapot with fried cabbage in it.
This is the lunch provided by the school to the children, which is also a benefit.
At this time, Ran Qiuye was sitting among the children, also holding a Wowotou in his hand. While talking to the children, laughter kept ringing.
Yang Xiaotao stood at the door and watched the warm scene, unable to bear to disturb.
It was not until a long time after Ran Qiuye was reminded by his students that he realized that Yang Xiaotao was standing there, looking at her in a daze.
Ouch...
The children suddenly shouted excitedly. This kind of ambiguity between men and women is embarrassing for their age. They are both expected and thin-skinned. They are afraid of being exposed. People laugh.
Ran Qiuye blushed and did not look back at Yang Xiaotao.
Yang Xiaotao walked into the classroom with a smile and looked at a group of students leaning forward and backward. The teacher's expression changed, "You are not allowed to talk while eating. What should I do if I choke?"
Don't tell me, this teacher's advice really works, and there was a sudden silence in the classroom.
Ran Qiuye glared at him and quickly called the students to eat before returning to normal.
"Why are you here?"
"Why can't I come? I have my class in the afternoon."
Yang Xiaotao put the two lunch boxes on the table , "By the way, give a meal to Comrade Ran Qiuye who has worked hard and devoted himself to the education of the motherland!"
Yang Xiaotao joked, and Ran Qiuye made a face after hearing this, "No, I can just eat the school food."
"That's not okay, I made this dish specially."
As he said Yang Xiaotao opened the lunch box, and a burst of heat rose up. Many slices of meat inside were shiny with oil. Many students lowered their heads to pick up the vegetables.
Ran Qiuye looked at it and saw that the food was very generous, and it was obviously cooked with great care.
It was just that Yang Xiaotao was like this. Seeing his eyes scanning the children around him, Ran Qiuye immediately stood up and picked up the lunch box, and then picked out the meat inside, one piece for each child.
Yang Xiaotao watched from the sidelines, neither stopping nor helping, but he fully agreed with Ran Qiuye's actions.
When the food in the classroom was finished, Ran Qiuye was like the one in the classroom next door. When he knew that the meat in the two lunch boxes was gone, he returned to the classroom, picked up the steamed buns and continued to eat.
When the children finished eating and were lying on the table for a lunch break, Ran Qiuye walked out of the classroom, watched Yang Xiaotao waving to him from a distance, and then walked over.
The two sat side by side at the school.
Pa
Yang Xiaotao took out a cooked egg, pinched it with both hands, and then peeled off the egg skin, revealing the bluish-white egg white inside.
“Where did it come from?”
Ran Qiuye was curious.
“Get it from home.”
“Eat it while it’s hot!”
Handed to Ran Qiuye, Ran Qiuye did not refuse this time.
“Have you eaten?”
“Yes, I ate on the way here.”
After Ran Qiuye finished the eggs, Yang Xiaotao looked at her, “I’m going to The master said it!”
“What did you say?”
"It's our business!"
"Huh? Oh!"
Ran Qiuye was surprised, but relieved. The relationship between the two has been confirmed. In these days, even a happy event will be held in two days. OK.
There is nothing to hide.
"Invite Uncle Da Zhuang and the others tonight. From now on, you will be members of my Yang family."
Yang Xiaotao leaned closer and whispered, so straightforward that Ran Qiuye was a little shy.
"Who is yours, I haven't agreed yet!"
"That won't work, you can't run away in this life..."
Two people After chatting for a while on the playground, Ran Qiuye had to go back to correct the children's homework, and Yang Xiaotao also had to prepare for the afternoon lessons.
