Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 331 This is Good, Eat More

"Come on, I'm talking about you!"

The old principal waved to Yang Xiaotao, "This is Comrade Yang Xiaotao, an eighth-level fitter in the rolling mill. This time the heating furnace was written by him..."

The old principal introduced the two of them. One of them was a middle-aged man, wearing a black tunic suit, thick glasses, and a parted hair, who spoke first.

"Hello, Comrade Yang Xiaotao, I am the principal of a primary school in Chongwen District, and my surname is Zhou!"

"Hello, Principal Zhou!"

Yang Xiaotao hurried forward to shake hands, and had some eyebrows at the two people's intentions.

The old principal asked the three of them to sit down, "Old Zhou, he is my junior!"

"This time I got a heating stove in the school, I asked him to come over and take a look. It looks pretty good now!"

Principal Zhou on the side spoke at the right time, "In the past two years, there have been more and more students, and the pressure on the school has also increased. In order for the children to receive education, they can only be divided into two shifts, with half of the students in the morning and the other half in the afternoon. The progress of the lecture was naturally delayed."

Yang Xiaotao listened and nodded. Now Yangjiazhuang Primary School is the same. Not only are there many students, but there are also few teachers, so the children are asked to go back to their respective homes after school.

"Especially now that it's cold, it's even more inconvenient to study in the classroom."

"So, this time I received a letter from the old principal, so I rushed over to take a look."

Speaking of this, Principal Zhou smiled, "The radiator you made is good. It's really good. It's safer and more hygienic than burning stoves in the classroom. I heard it saves coal."

"So we ran over non-stop, look, can we make a set for our school?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't know what was going on when he heard this, so he immediately said, "Principal Zhou, the radiators installed in the school this time, including the ones on the market for families, are all experimental products."

"It's hard to say, it's just testing the waters, and it hasn't been officially put into production yet."

The young people beside Principal Zhou were a little anxious, but the calm Principal Zhou stopped him with his hand, and continued to listen to Yang Xiaotao.

"However, after this period of observation, these heating furnaces have been tested by the people, and the data we have collected is almost the same. The next step is to apply for project approval like the leaders of the rolling mills. By then, more heating furnaces will definitely come down."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Principal Zhou pondered for a moment, "How long will it take? It's freezing cold, but we can't wait too long!"

Yang Xiaotao was silent for a moment, "I'll report it in the next two days, it should be soon!"

"Ok!"

Principal Zhou was silent for a moment, "Then Gong Yang, please leave this matter to me."

"Don't worry, it's all for children and education."

"As long as you come, we will arrange it as soon as possible."

"Haha, then I'm relieved!"

"I heard that you have set up a school in Yangjiazhuang. If you have any difficulties, just ask. I will help if I can..."

As soon as the subject changed, Yang Xiaotao looked at the old principal, who nodded faintly, and Yang Xiaotao immediately became enthusiastic.

"Oh, Principal Zhou, I really have something to trouble you..."

At eleven o'clock at noon, Yang Xiaotao lowered his wrist, glanced at the fish in the bucket, and raised his hand casually, and another fish was thrown up. The fishermen around him had long been used to it, and even became numb.

Not far away, the Third Master Yan Fugui glanced at Yang Xiaotao's appearance, feeling depressed and panicked.

This guy didn't come here for long, but he collected seven or eight fish, but he came here so early, and he had been in the cold all morning, and there was only one small fish in the bucket. Really, a bunch of beasts without eyes.

Why do you just hit Yang Xiaotao's hook?
No prospects!
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was about to leave, the people around him breathed a sigh of relief. This guy was here and completely shattered their pride.

Yang Xiaotao passed by the third master without stopping, and went back on his bicycle.

It's making soup at noon, so hurry up.

But after Yang Xiaotao left, Yan Fugui sat down to his original position without hesitation, dropped the hook, and after a while, he really caught a big fish.

My heart is inexplicably sad, this fish is really worthless!
Silently took off the hook, put it into the bucket, and quickly lowered the hook again. Before the fish could react, I caught two more.

Yang Xiaotao ran all the way back to the courtyard. As soon as he entered the front door, the voice of congratulations continued.

Yang Xiaotao was also polite with everyone, and the third mother was even more envious when she saw the heavy fish bucket.

If only the daughter-in-law was pregnant with a child, she would be able to be a grandmother, and how comfortable it would be to look after the child at home!

Walking to the middle courtyard, I immediately saw Jia Zhang swearing with his mouth crooked.

On the contrary, Qin Huairu lost her previous self-confidence, as if her spine was broken, she lowered her head to work.

Yang Xiaotao didn't bother to pay attention, and walked all the way into the yard.

In the back room, beautiful singing came from the radio. After listening carefully, it turned out to be an episode of the movie Five Golden Flowers.

After entering the room, I saw Ran Qiuye sitting there talking with two people.

One is Lou Xiaoe and the other is Yu Li.

The three talked and laughed, maybe the sound of the radio covered up the footsteps, and Lou Xiaoe didn't see Yang Xiaotao until he approached.

"came back!"

Ran Qiuye heard the movement, got up and walked over to get the fish bucket.

"I'll come, you just sit down."

Then he nodded to Lou Xiao'e and Yu Li, "Talk, I'll go and clean up."

Asking Ran Qiuye to sit down, Yang Xiaotao came to the kitchen with a bucket of fish, picked out the biggest one, and put the rest into the tank for raising.

He slapped the fish casually with a knife, knocked the fish unconscious, then scraped the scales of the fish in the yard, and cut open the belly.

It's better to stay away from this fishy smell, so that Ran Qiuye won't feel nauseous.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao like this, envy flashed in Lou Xiaoe and Yu Li's eyes.

And amidst this envy, Lou Xiao'e felt more regretful in her heart.

"Qiuye, take a good rest, I'll go back and cook first!"

After sitting for a while, Lou Xiao'e got up to say goodbye, Ran Qiuye held her back twice, and then sent Lou Xiao'e home.

Passing by the gate of the courtyard, Lou Xiaoe looked at Yang Xiaotao's busy appearance, feeling sad for no reason.

After Lou Xiao'e left, Yu Li also got up and left. When she walked to the door and saw this scene, she was envious, "Your man is really capable. He went to the kitchen, went to the workshop, and made so many things. Compared with him, my family is a waste!"

Ran Qiuye pursed her lips and smiled. Although she agreed with the evaluation of her man in her heart, her reserved attitude still made her polite, "How could you say that, isn't this just making money!"

"Hey, that's not enough to pay off the debt!"

Yu Li curled her lips and walked to the front yard.

Yang Xiaotao returned to the house with the fish in his hand, "Don't think about it, it's his own business, let's not get involved."

"Ok!"

"By the way, I went to see the old principal today, and guess what?"

While cooking, Yang Xiaotao talked about the school to Ran Qiuye, who was helping him.

"Really? Then, that principal Zhou promised to find someone to go to school?"

"Well, that's what he promised, but the specifics need to be written after school starts after the Chinese New Year."

"Great, don't say two, even one is good."

When Ran Qiuye heard that the teacher's problem had been solved, she was very happy.

The two chatted for a while, then let Ran Qiuye go to rest, prepare some gifts, and go to Aunt Wang's house in the afternoon, don't tell me about it, next time we meet, it will definitely be a lesson.

At noon, Yang Xiaotao brought the food to the table.

A plate of braised fish head is slightly spicy, a pot of fish pond with fish oil floating in it, a bowl of rice, a pot of steamed buns with Erhe noodles, and two small plates of pickles.

In an instant, the smell of fish spread throughout the courtyard.

"Take a sip of fish soup first. The nutrition is on this layer of membrane. Fish oil is a good thing. It can promote the development of the fetal brain and help the child's vision to be healthy."

What Yang Xiaotao said was serious, but Ran Qiuye was dubious, "Really?"

"Is that still false? It's said in the book."

"All right!"

Ran Qiuye drank a bowl of soup seriously, his stomach was warm, and the taste was really good.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao took the fish head apart, "This is also a good thing. It is easy to digest and absorb, and it is good for pregnant women and fetuses."

Ran Qiuye glanced at Yang Xiaotao, then ate it.

"This fish is also very good. Eat more, and you will still have the strength to give birth."

Ran Qiuye opened his mouth suspiciously.

"Uh, eat more of this rice."

Ran Qiuye.
The young couple here are immersed in the happy and joyful dining, but on the other side, the yard is disturbed by the smell of fish.

Many people were eating, and the smell disappeared immediately after smelling it.

Even Shazhu put down the chopsticks in his hand and sniffed vigorously, "What kind of condiment did you use to make it so fragrant?"

In the Jia family, the stick started to toss again, asking for fish all the time, and Jia Zhang next to her was also yelling and cursing. Since Yang Xiaotao started fishing, after so many years, she got cheap once, and was bitten by a cat in the end. It was rumored in the courtyard that she was revenged by the cat, and she couldn't go out for a while.

Fortunately, the uncle came forward to stop the rumors, but after that, he never ate a fish from Yang Xiaotao's family.

Obviously there are so many fish in the house, so what can I do if I divide one?It's not his raising, a heartless little beast.

Yi Zhonghai was sitting at the door. Ever since they found out that Ran Qiuye was pregnant, the old couple had been silent and speechless.

At this moment, this smell of fish is more like the poison of regret, the more I smell it, the more I regret it.

After lunch, Yang Xiaotao asked Ran Qiuye to sleep for a while. From now on, he will develop the habit of napping.

I read a book by myself.

In the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao rode a bicycle with Ran Qiuye and some gifts to Director Wang's house.

Hearing the good news, Director Wang was naturally happy. He pulled Ran Qiuye to ask questions, explained this and that, and asked about work matters, especially school matters in the future. Pregnancy is not a trivial matter.

After the meal, he told Yang Xiaotao that there was already news about the heating stove, anyway, the leak was good, so Yang Xiaotao should be prepared.

Back home at night, Ran Qiuye half leaned on the bed to read, while Yang Xiaotao finished the report at hand.

In addition to household heating stoves and school heating stoves, Yang Xiaotao also designed a set of heating stoves that use pressure pumps.

After tidying up, the two fell asleep.

However, Yang Xiaotao was much more honest this time...

The next day, Yang Xiaotao got up early and finished breakfast, then went to the rolling mill with his bag on his back.
