Scholars in the courtyard

The next day, the wind stopped and the sun was shining brightly.

In the room, Yang Xiaotao was still resting with Ran Qiuye in his arms.

The two of them went to bed a little late last night, and with the fatigue of many days, they woke up later than usual.

It was not until there were mixed sounds in the yard that Ran Qiuye opened his eyes, looked outside through the curtains, and then prepared to get up.

"Get up quickly, it's dawn."

Ran Qiuye pushed Yang Xiaotao, who turned over and continued to lie down.

"Get up quickly, don't delay work."

Ran Qiuye urged again, but Yang Xiaotao turned around and hugged him in his arms, without opening his eyelids, "It's okay, Lao Yang and the others can't get up until noon."

As he said, he was about to reach out.

Ran Qiuye struggled to leave his arms, leaving Yang Xiaotao lying on the bed with his head against the pillow.

"Get up, it seems that there is a commotion outside."

Ran Qiuye heard the movement outside and couldn't help but lie on the window to look.

"It's so noisy."

Yang Xiaotao also heard the noise in the yard and couldn't help but feel irritated, but he didn't want to sleep anymore.

He got up, put on his clothes, and went out to the yard.

I immediately saw a group of people gathered in front of the Jia family's door. Seeing the noise coming from inside, he frowned and walked forward.

"What's going on? Why are you restless so early in the morning?"

Yang Xiaotao came to the crowd and caught Wang Xiaohu and asked.

"Brother Tao, this silly Zhu took his wife and children to occupy the Jia family's house."

Wang Xiaohu was not small, but he was a head shorter than Yang Xiaotao, and he couldn't see the situation inside when he stood outside.

After hearing Yang Xiaotao's question, he quickly told what he knew.

Yang Xiaotao stood aside and saw a table in the room. Xiaodang and Huaihua had white cloth strips tied on their heads and knelt beside to burn paper for Banggeng.

Because Banggeng was still young and had not married, and Xiaodang and Huaihua were sisters, no one wore mourning for Banggeng.

It is estimated that the police station will finish the inspection today, find a few people to bury the stick, and the funeral will be over.

As for whether the Jia family should abide by the funeral, it depends on Qin Huairu's opinion.

"Brother Tao, you are here to judge."

"Qin Huairu has married Sha Zhu, so what does this house have to do with him?"

Wang Xiaohu naturally heard from his family, and this view is very popular in the courtyard.

"Of course it has nothing to do with it."

Yang Xiaotao answered affirmatively.

As for why these people in the courtyard can't see Sha Zhu doing well, it is probably because Sha Zhu lived too well in the past.

In addition, the house of the Jia family is also everyone's dream.

Although there is a sealed main house on the side, it is also the best and largest house in this courtyard.

But everyone knows that even if it is their turn, it will not be their turn.

On the contrary, the small family of the Jia family is exactly the target of everyone.

"What are you looking at? Our own home can't come back!"

Sha Zhu heard the discussion outside and rushed out suddenly, with a rough look and full of anger.

If Sha Zhu had spoken nicely and then given in, everyone was in the same courtyard, and it would have been okay.

But Sha Zhu's attitude made everyone unhappy.

"Sha Zhu, this is the Jia family, not your He family."

Someone shouted, Sha Zhu looked over and pointed at the person who was talking, "Song Lao Er, don't just stand there and talk, if you have the guts, come forward and speak."

"Sha Zhu, stop messing around, this is a courtyard, not a place for you to do evil."

Someone immediately shouted at the scene, Sha Zhu looked around, and then snorted, "When did I say this is the He family's house?"

"It's not the He family, why are you living in it?"

Wang Xiaohu was shouting on the side, Sha Zhu looked over, but his eyes were fixed on Yang Xiaotao on the side.

He was instantly furious, and this morning's incident might have been caused by this guy.

He immediately pointed his finger at Yang Xiaotao, "Yang Xiaotao, I tell you, don't talk nonsense here?"

"My last name is He, but my two children's last name is Jia."

"I advise you not to take this house!"

Sha Zhu shouted, but Yang Xiaotao's expression did not change. He still stood there, not saying anything, nor refutating.

That is, ignoring his existence.

"Neighbors!"

Just when Sha Zhu was targeting Yang Xiaotao, Qin Huairu came out of the house with a basin of clothes with red eyes and looked at everyone.

"Our family encountered this kind of thing, which caused trouble to all uncles, old neighbors and old houses!"

As she said, Qin Huairu showed a sad expression and apologized to the people around her.

At this time, the people around looked at each other, and the original questioning words could not be said.

Qin Huairu continued to speak.

"It's unfortunate for my family. I didn't expect that my mother-in-law would harm Banggeng."

"My, my poor Banggeng, he's still a child..."

Speaking of this, Qin Huairu put the basin on the ground and squatted on the ground crying.

Shazhu saw this and hurried forward to comfort him.

The people around shook their heads and sighed, and then left.

Since things have come to this, they can't just rush in and carry Shazhu out.

Besides, even if Shazhu is driven out, the house may not fall on them.

Why bother about this.

They came over, just to disgust Shazhu.

Seeing everyone leave, Shazhu's eyes fell on Yang Xiaotao's back, spit on the ground, and said unclearly, "You want a house, no way!"

Yang Xiaotao paused for a moment, with a sneer on his face.

House, he wants it, and there is one!!!

…

After breakfast, Lao Jin went to call Shanghai, while Yang Xiaotao came to the machinery factory. Sure enough, Yang Youning was still lying in the office, and Liu Huaimin was nowhere to be seen.

Yang Xiaotao went to the workshop. Huang Degong and others had already received the news from Yang Youning, so when Yang Xiaotao arrived, the workshop had already started preparations.

For the workers, the better the machinery factory develops, the happier they are.

As for the fact that a workshop wants to hand over the production technology of rice cookers, the workers have no objection.

After a round in the workshop, Yang Xiaotao returned to the office.

For the changes in the factory, the workers showed more enthusiasm, and there was resistance, but not much.

In the face of the general trend, there was no big deal.

"Lao Liang, why didn't you go last night?"

As soon as he sat down, he saw Liang Zuoxin coming over, so he joked.

"I was caught by my old brother to decorate the wedding room last night, so I don't have time."

"But don't worry, I can't escape this wine."

Liang Zuoxin said, sitting aside and drinking the tea on the table.

"Wedding room?"

Yang Xiaotao remembered something, "Tomorrow is the Little New Year."

"Yes."

"I almost forgot. I have to attend a wedding tomorrow."

"Really? There are many people getting married tomorrow."

Liang Zuoxin didn't doubt him, and then got to the point, "Yesterday, the higher-ups said that we will be directly under the headquarters in the future. I received news that the specifications of our security department will also be upgraded."

"Upgrade? How?"

Yang Xiaotao became interested.

He also heard from Liang Zuoxin that the three departments have a director and two deputy directors in charge of command. There are also section chiefs below the director level.

But there are section chiefs who manage people, manage logistics, and handle official business.

Under the section chiefs are the captains, squadron leaders and team leaders of each brigade.

Right now, Yang Xiaotao and Liang Zuoxin are at the level of captains.

If this is raised further, then it will be the section chief.

If it is the operations section chief, it is fine, but if it is the logistics section chief, forget it.

"This is what I want to say."

"The higher-ups mean that according to the headquarters' direct subordinates, we will be promoted to the first level of the department and directly managed by the superior leaders."

"Superiors? Who?"

Yang Xiaotao has been in the officialdom of this world for many years, so he naturally knows some things.

Some people are in charge of administration, some are in charge of economy, and some hold military power.

And these three places, to put it bluntly, are not under the management of the machinery factory.

So there must be someone from above to lead and manage.

"I don't know, the higher-ups haven't decided yet."

"However, I heard from the grapevine that it might be Leader Wang."

Hearing Liang Zuoxin say this, Yang Xiaotao nodded quietly.

If this person comes to be their leader, it can be regarded as having a big tree to rely on.

The two talked for a while, and Liang Zuoxin went out to the training base to continue training his men.

Yang Xiaotao picked up the phone and thought about dialing it.

After a while, the phone was connected and Tong Xiaolong's voice came.

"Brother Long, congratulations!"

Yang Xiaotao said, Tong Xiaolong laughed, "I was just thinking of telling you not to be late tomorrow, but you called me."

"I have to share in the joy of this kind of happy event."

"By the way, what time will we go tomorrow? Do I need to go with you to pick up the bride?"

"No, you can come in the morning. There won't be many outsiders. We can just have lunch at noon."

"Okay, I'll see if I can go earlier and help by the way."

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao thought about what to bring tomorrow.

He knew a little about Tong Xiaolong's affairs. There were not many people in his family and he had no relatives in this city. Because of his usual work, some things had to be kept secret, so the ceremony of this wedding might be as simple as in the countryside, and there wouldn't even be many more guests.

But the identity of this guest

Yang Xiaotao thought he should be cautious.

"Master, can I not go tomorrow?"

While thinking, Xiaowei's voice came from his pocket.

Yang Xiaotao looked around the room and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one else.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to go?"

"No."

Xiaowei's voice was very firm, "Every time I go there, I'm a little scared."

"Scared?"

"Yeah!"

"Why?"

"I don't know, just, very scared."

Xiaowei couldn't explain why, but since Xiaowei said she was scared, then don't go.

"Okay, just stay at home tomorrow."

"Swish~~"

Shanghai.

Wang Wen sat in the office, holding a pen in his hand, constantly opening and closing it.

His eye sockets were still a little bruised, and his cheeks were a little purple.

These were all caused by Zhang Kangzhan's beating last time.

And this kind of pain was unforgettable for him.

Ringing ringing

The phone rang suddenly, and Wang Wen grabbed the phone quickly as if he was electrocuted.

"Hello! Team Leader Zhang, this is Wang Wen."

It was a familiar voice on the other end of the phone. After Wang Wen heard it, an excited expression immediately appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down this time."

After hanging up the phone, the excitement on her face gradually turned into viciousness.

In the afternoon.

In the workshop of the National Cotton Mill.

Sun Hongmei went to work as usual, with Xiao Meng by her side.

Since the last incident, Zhang Kangzhan's appearance spread throughout the factory, making Wang Wen very embarrassed.

So much so that Sun Hongmei's self-criticism was never followed up.

The workshop was talking about it with relish.

However, this matter made Sun Hongmei nervous, and she deliberately hid herself during this period and did not show off.

However, the more she wanted to hide, the more things would come to her.

Just as she was working carefully, she heard footsteps next to her, and then saw Wang Wen coming with a team of security personnel.

Sun Hongmei's heart skipped a beat and her brows furrowed.

"Team Leader Sun, when we checked, we found that two pieces of fine cloth were missing from the warehouse."

"And the number of the previous shift was correct. So, you need to assist in the investigation."

Wang Wen looked serious and businesslike.

Sun Hongmei frowned immediately after hearing this, "We put everything into the warehouse according to the number, there is no way there will be any mistakes."

"Besides, the people in the warehouse will count, you can check the accounts."

Wang Wen was unmoved, just looking at Sun Hongmei, "Please come with us and cooperate with the investigation."

Sun Hongmei had no choice but to take a deep breath and agree.

Xiao Meng on the side said worriedly, "Sister Sun!"

"It's okay, we haven't done anything wrong, we are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."

"You work hard, don't worry about me."

After that, she followed and left the workshop.

"Sister Hu, what should I do!"

"Don't be afraid, I'll make a phone call."

Sister Hu said nonchalantly, looking at Wang Wen who was leaving, a sneer appeared on her face.

That night, Zhang Shengli learned that his sister-in-law was being harassed by the factory's security department, so he brought two people to the National Cotton Mill to ask for her.

Ten minutes later, a warehouse of the National Cotton Mill suddenly caught fire, and the flames rose instantly, illuminating the Huangpu River.

Big guys, it's the last day, please give me a monthly ticket!!!
