Chapter 291: Fighting in Different Courts
Yang Xiaotao led Ran Qiuye around and drank a lot of wine. Ran Qiuye also drank some, with a blush on his face.
The banquet did not end until the afternoon, and some people had already left early.
When Yang Xiaotao saw Yang Youning off, he also wanted to ask about the young man's details.
Unexpectedly, Yang Youning told him with a serious face, "To be honest, I don't know, but I know that about them, just don't ask or pry."
Yang Xiaotao understood immediately and kept the matter in his heart.
After finishing, they returned to the courtyard and tidied up a little. Yang Xiaotao finally put Mr. Yang on the donkey cart. Several old people drank a lot, but they insisted on going back.
The village is harvesting corn, and people cannot be missing at this time.
After Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye saw off Mr. Yang, they had a leisurely meeting.
Looking at Ran Qiuye’s appearance, Yang Xiaotao knew that he was suffering a lot.
I heard in my previous life that getting married was very tiring, but I have experienced it in this life.
I got up early in the morning to get ready. After a busy day, my feet are now touching the ground.
Yang Xiaotao walked to Ran Qiuye, put his arms in his arms, and just lay on the bed.
It was not dark yet and the two of them had already fallen asleep.
On the other side, the people who returned to the courtyard began to talk about the wedding banquet.
Everyone on the table talked about the dishes with gusto, and the people who listened were salivating and their stomachs were rumbling.
Some people even brought back the leftovers and shouted to their loved ones to have another drink in the evening.
The biggest thing among them is the radio.
No need to ask, everyone thought about it and they must be heading towards Yang Xiaotao.
After Yi Zhonghai came back, he heard the aunt's surprised words and couldn't help but breathe coldly.
"Has Yang Xiaotao grown to this point?"
"Hiss..."
Looking in the direction of Yang Xiaotao's house, Yi Zhonghai lowered his head silently.
Si Zhu walked back from outside the hospital carrying a pig tongue.
Yesterday, he knew that Yang Xiaotao was not holding a banquet in the courtyard, so his thoughts disappeared, and then he felt aggrieved that he had not taken advantage.
However, without Yang Xiaotao and a wealthy family, as a well-known chef, many people get married during this kind of festival, so naturally they have to go out to earn some extra money.
No, the pig tongue on the hand is only part of it, and the five yuan of hard-earned money from the pregnancy is the big part.
Just returning to the yard, Shazhu's good mood suddenly disappeared.
Three turns and one ring came to life.
What the hell, how can he find a wife?
His family didn't even get a bicycle.
In the house, He Yuyu was sitting in front of the window. When he saw Silly Zhu walking in, he quickly stepped forward.
"Brother, how long will you promise me?"
Si Zhu looked at his sister in front of him and felt angry.
I have been asking for a bicycle for more than half a year, and I feel uncomfortable every time I hear it.
How could he, stupidly, cut off her bicycle?
It’s just that it’s really hard to get a bicycle ticket!
"I'll get it for you in two days!"
Silly Zhu said perfunctorily, and He Yuyu curled his lips disdainfully. How many times had he heard this? If it weren't for the sake of saving face at his partner's house, She wouldn't be in such a hurry.
"Brother, you have to hurry up. I..."
"I know, I know..."
Silly Zhu felt even more depressed!
"Eat, eat, eat, I'll eat you to death! You heartless bitches..."
Jia Zhang's triangular eyes spit out anger at the lively people in the courtyard, and she almost vomited in jealousy. Acid water comes.
Jia Zhang yelled and cursed in the courtyard, but no one paid attention to her, so she just thought it was a dog barking.
At night, Jia Dongxu came back from outside. He had made some extra money recently, and he became more generous with a few friends.
Lighting a cigarette in his mouth, he quickly came home.
Today is a day to eat meat.
However, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Banggian's reluctant face, and Jia Zhang sitting on the bed and feeling unhappy.
Qin Huairu next to her lowered her head, her teeth hurting.
I went to the pigeon market this morning to buy some meat for the tooth ceremony. Yang Xiaotao didn't invite them to eat the meat, so they just bought it themselves.
Unexpectedly, when we arrived at the Pigeon Market, the usual meat sellers were gone. After asking around, we found out that all the meat dealers had been arrested last time. Without the supply of goods, they would naturally not be able to continue their business.
After searching around, I finally found a stall with a few pieces of meat on display, but when I asked, the price was exorbitantly high.
The money that could buy two taels of meat could not buy one tael now. Qin Huairu was so frightened that she left quickly and did not dare to stay.
I hurriedly bought a few eggs before returning home.
"It's okay. I'll get more next time. It's a long-term deal anyway. Just buy it in two days!"
Jia Dongxu opened his mouth to comfort Qin Huairu, who could only agree.
As for Yang Xiaotao, he didn’t even want to mention this person.
The family finished their meal and went to bed early. Jia Dongxu touched Qin Huairu's waist, half pushed and half pushed down, and the two rolled together.
"Hu Meizi, it's spring again..."
Not far away, Mrs. Jia Zhang felt uncomfortable listening to the voice.
"Those two old bastards, why don't you hurry up and make room for us to live in!"
"They are all old bastards..."
The Yang family , Yang Xiaotao also got up and cooked a pot of noodles, fried two eggs, and a piece of ham.
Ran Qiuye took a nap, regained his energy, and felt hungry. They had dinner at ten o'clock in the middle of the night. After the two of them finished eating, Yang Xiaotao began to count the harvest.
Ran Qiuye on the side was holding a notebook to record, these are all favors that will be repaid in the future.
After counting for a while, Yang Xiaotao sorted out the money, and Ran Qiuye also calculated the total.
“A total of one hundred and sixty-five yuan and fifty cents!”
Ran Qiuye said and Yang Xiaotao nodded.
The three uncles in the front yard also paid almost a hundred yuan. I was able to collect so much this time because Factory Director Yang and the others took the majority. At ten yuan each, a few people accounted for one-third.
The remaining people are worth just eighty cents.
Of course, the biggest gain this time is the radio.
Not only do you save money, but more importantly, you also save tickets.
I just don’t know who sent it.
"Qiuye, keep this money."
Yang Xiaotao handed the money to Ran Qiuye, who nodded and put the money in a wooden box.
Yang Xiaotao looked at it and thought that he still needed a lock. After all, there was a "cultivating" thief in the courtyard, and he had to guard against it.
"Master, who do you think gave me this radio?"
Ran Qiuye fiddled with the radio. Of course, there was no socket at the moment, and there was no station to listen to.
Yang Xiaotao looked at it carefully for a while. This radio was Shanghai brand 131. It was orange in color and not small in size, but it was a good thing of this era.
Thinking of Yang Youning's instructions, "I don't know either!"
"But since it is given to us, we will use it, no matter who he is."
See you At this, Ran Qiuye also nodded in agreement.
Yang Xiaotao walked to the side and reached out to hold Ran Qiuye.
"Daughter-in-law, this is for you!"
Yang Xiaotao took out a jade pendant, but it was a relic left by the original owner's mother. In the original owner's memory, this jade pendant was very important and profound.
He also did some research and asked people in Yangjiazhuang to know some things about his mother, but most people only knew that his mother came here as a refugee and they got married after meeting his father.
Even Mr. Yang is not very clear.
Yang Xiaotao felt that this should be his mother's token of recognition. As for where to go to recognize her relatives and whether there are any relatives, she could only leave it to chance.
Ran Qiuye looked at the jade token tied up with red string with curiosity.
After Yang explained, Ran Qiuye solemnly put the red rope around his neck. The red rope hung on his snow-white neck and the white jade pendant was stuffed into his collar.
For just a moment, Yang Xiaotao saw the snow-white skin through the collar, and the jade pendant had disappeared into the mountains.
Yang Xiaotao immediately stepped forward and picked Ran Qiuye up from the chair.
“Daughter-in-law, it’s time to sleep…”
The next day, Yang Xiaotao got up and went to work, while Ran Qiuye packed things at home.
Uncle Chen's family next door is about to leave. They are dealing with their belongings these days, and Ran Qiuye is helping.
Now, Ran Qiuye has established a firm foothold in this courtyard and has begun living in the courtyard.
Especially when there are good things like sewing machines and radios at home, Ran Qiuye often has people coming around when he is at home.
Among them, the Wang Dashan family is naturally the most diligent. Their family already has a good relationship with Yang Xiaotao, and they even went to the Ran family to get engaged. The relationship between the two parties will naturally take a further step.
Secondly, there are the family members of the steel rolling mill. They all know that Yang Xiaotao's current status does not need to care about their feelings. Instead, they need to curry favor with Yang Xiaotao.
It’s just that Yang Xiaotao’s usual behavior is to stay away from strangers, and he doesn’t get close to the people in the yard. He goes out to a few houses and doesn’t interact with others.
But Ran Qiuye is different. She has a tactful temperament and is kind to others. She can talk to anyone. Even Qin Huairu, who has been targeted in the past, can still say hello to her when she meets him.
Not to mention Lou Xiao'e in the backyard, since Ran Qiuye arrived, the relationship between the two has heated up rapidly, and they don't know where the common topics came from.
Yu Li from the front yard also came to visit from time to time, sitting with Lou Xiaoe and Ran Qiuye, talking and laughing.
Gradually, through constant interactions, Ran Qiuye's attitude towards life, persistence and principles of dealing with others became known to everyone.
Word of mouth spread, and his reputation spread quickly, and he seemed to be wrestling with Qin Huairu, a model worker in the courtyard.
Facing Ran Qiuye’s sudden rise, Qin Huairu would naturally not admit defeat, let alone sit still and wait for death.
Although she does not have as rich resources or cultural heritage as Ran Qiuye, she also has her own advantages, that is, her connections and daily friendships, and the reputation she has accumulated over the years.
With the joint promotion of the Jia family, the Shazhu family and the first man's family, Qin Huairu has continued to gain a reputation for being hardworking, kind and respectful to the elderly.
Nowadays, any house in the courtyard will come to help if something happens. She is a very enthusiastic young woman.
The competition between the two parties, either intentionally or unintentionally, actually sparked sparks of competition in this small courtyard, and became a topic of conversation among people in the courtyard after dinner.
It also made the whole yard agitated.
Yang Xiaotao was also aware of this, but didn't take it to heart.
Let Ran Qiuye do what he wants. He doesn't care at all about what will happen in the end. It would be best if they can get along well with each other.
It doesn't matter if they don't get along well, he didn't take these people seriously in the first place.
If you mess with him, your fists are not a vegetarian.
But now it seems that the wife I have found is not only gentle and intellectual, but also has her own persistence.
With the help of sewing machines and radios, Yang Xiaotao clearly felt that Ran Qiuye was "forming cliques". Several families that originally surrounded Yang Xiaotao had formed a solid circle through the "lady route".
Now he dares to say that if there is any general meeting, this group of people will stand by his side without Yang Xiaotao speaking.
This is the human heart.
And Ran Qiuye is the focus that maintains this human heart.
After knowing this, Yang Xiaotao felt relieved, "I have a good wife and a prosperous family for three generations. You can never deceive me!"
