Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2362 Yang Xiaotao is hiding from others

Dong dong dong

bang bang

"Long live~~"

"Long live the brave pilots!"

Slogans continued to flow from outside the alley into the courtyard, attracting more people to run out and join the celebrating team.

When the news was broadcast throughout the country and abroad, people took to the streets and loudly celebrated the rare victory.

Those who don't know the inside story are just cheering for yet another victory.

But those who know the inside story understand how significant this is.

This is a transcendence in the field of flying.

At least in the next few years, the sky above China will become a restricted area for outsiders.

No longer can anyone come and go as they please.

Siheyuan, middle courtyard.

Yang Xiaotao supported Ran Qiuye and walked in the yard.

Ran's mother was helping to tidy up the vegetable garden in the yard. Although Xiaowei was taking care of the cucumbers and tomatoes, which were growing well, Ran's mother just couldn't sit still. Whenever she had time, she would squat under the cucumber rack, either pulling weeds or loosening the soil.

It’s strange to say, many people in this courtyard wanted to grow some vegetables, fruits and melons, but in the end nothing came of it.

The reason, of course, is that the input and output are not proportional.

In this yard without fertilizer, relying only on sunlight and water, it is not easy to grow well and bear fruit.

Unless they also have a Xiao Wei.

"You're not going to work?"

Ran Qiuye was supported by Yang Xiaotao and felt a little uncomfortable walking in the yard, especially the gazes of the people in the yard, which made her feel a little shy.

This isn't my first time and I have experience, so there's really no need for me to accompany you like this.

Besides, every time I give birth, I feel much better and don’t even feel tired.

Even the people in the yard were surprised.

Looking at the physiques of Ran Qiuye and Cuiping, one would have thought that Cuiping was more "tough", but the fact is that both of them are about to give birth, while Ran Qiuye is still the same as before, and she no longer complains of being tired after taking a walk in the alley.

Cuiping, on the other hand, has to sit down and rest after walking for a while.

The physiques of these two people really prove the old saying that you can't judge a book by its cover.

However, Yang Xiaotao was willing to spend time with her, and he felt very sweet in his heart.

"No, Lao Hong and Lao Li are here to work, so I have nothing to do during my break."

"Besides, this has to be a combination of work and rest. Working hard will only lead to low efficiency."

Yang Xiaotao said this nonchalantly, and at the same time found an excuse for being lazy.

In fact, the reason why he hid at home was to accompany his wife.

The due date is coming soon, so I have to be with her no matter what. I can’t just rely on those few hours at night.

Women, you have to accompany.

Even if she just walks a few steps with him, she will feel cared for.

Secondly, Yang Xiaotao also wanted to hide.

Ever since the successful conclusion of Operation Caged Bird, his phone has never stopped ringing.

After a while, the leader called to express his gratitude and thanked the Ninth Department for its achievements.

After a while, the big guy called to express his gratitude and asked if there was any help needed.

These people all had high status, and I even knew some of them and had talked to them.

Yang Xiaotao didn't want to refuse, but he couldn't give a definite answer either, which made things very awkward.

This is still considered good. Some people are straightforward and don't mince words and say that whenever a white horse is born, they will be crucified.

Some people even set their sights directly on the Blue Bird.

They say the country needs bluebirds.

What the hell is a bluebird?

I created a white colt. Even if its color changes, it is still a white colt.

If you want a bluebird, build one yourself.

In response to this, Yang Xiaotao made a few polite remarks and then brought up Mr. Peng, saying that if there was anything, he should go to Mr. Peng.

Anyway, for such a big matter, he wouldn't dare to act on his own without the approval of his superiors.

Yang Xiaotao was annoyed after a whole day in the Ninth Department, so he immediately told Li Hongfeng that he was tired and wanted to go home and have a rest.

Li Hongfeng was helpless about this.

As the first secretary, he receives no fewer calls than Yang Xiaotao.

Originally, Yang Xiaotao was there to share the firepower, but now he is the only one left.

The two of them were chatting and laughing as they walked around the front and back yards.

In the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu hung the washed clothes on the rope, then carried the basin and walked home.

Every extra second I stay here is a torture to my heart.

Especially when she saw how affectionate they were, it made her feel uncomfortable.

If she hadn't been reluctant to leave this courtyard house, if it hadn't been for Xiao Huaihua's food rations, if she hadn't had some thoughts in her heart, she would have
She had moved to the countryside like the old man a long time ago.

Just thinking about life in the country automatically erases the thought.

After returning home, Qin Huairu looked through the window at the loving couple and snorted coldly, feeling sour in her heart.

Looking back at my own home, although it is well organized, it still lacks a bit of liveliness.

Especially when there is no man in the family, there is always a lack of masculinity.

More importantly, that vixen in the Yang family is about to give birth again, and there will be one more person in the family.

As for her, it was originally three to three, and she was not at a disadvantage.

But later, the ratio increased from one to the other, and it became 2 to 4, and now it is about to become 2 to 5. The gap is getting bigger and bigger.

If you don't take care of yourself quickly, who will you rely on for support when you are old?

Thinking of this, I remembered what the old lady told me before she left last time.

Qin Jingru had no choice because she was tied to the house and to Xu Damao.

But she has a choice.

The state encourages widows to remarry and continue to contribute to revolutionary construction.

Huaihua is five years old now, and she has been a widow for five years because of Jia Dongxu.

Although there was a passer-by named Sha Zhu in between, she did not feel that it was a betrayal, because she had never really regarded Sha Zhu as her man.

What's more, Sha Zhu did something wrong to her, which not only made her lose face, but also made her feel resentful.

Am I not as good as a country girl?
In terms of appearance, figure, and eloquence, how is she, Qin Huairu, worse than others? Thinking of Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu felt a hint of resentment in her chest.

Returning to the house, he prepared to check the quality of the 'medicinal wine'.

This is the 'Medicinal Wine No. 2' that she and Yi Zhonghai improved after much research. She put a lot of effort into this medicinal wine.

"Sister, sister, it's a big deal, a big deal."

Just as Qin Huairu was checking the medicinal wine, Qin Jingru strode in from the door, shouting as she ran, and the basket in her hand was almost thrown away.

"You're so impatient. What are you doing?"

Qin Huairu said unhappily that the two sisters were a "different kind" in this courtyard and were not liked by the neighbors. If they didn't focus on their work, they would inevitably be laughed at.

Qin Jingru ignored him and came up to him and said, "Guess who I met when I went to see Xu Damao?"

"Who? It can't be another fool."

Qin Huairu said without turning her head.

The reason I say this is because of the previous incident when Sha Zhu helped transport supplies but ended up stealing.

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she waited for Qin Jingru to speak.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, so he turned around and saw Qin Jingru's face full of disbelief.

Qin Huairu was startled, and then asked in surprise, "Is he really a fool?"

Qin Jingru nodded, "Sister, if I didn't know you were always in the courtyard, I would have thought you were paying attention to Sha Zhu."

Qin Jingru looked at Qin Huairu with a scrutinizing look in her eyes, and then asked in a low voice, "Sister, you are not still thinking about Sha Zhu, are you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Good horses never turn back!"

Qin Huairu just thought about Sha Zhu's appearance in her mind and put the matter behind her.

Qin Jingru then stepped forward and said, "Today I went to see Xu Damao and heard from him that Sha Zhu was also in prison and was sentenced to five or six years."

As he said that, he took out a big unity note from his pocket and showed it off in front of Qin Huairu, "This is what Damao earned this month. I heard that his skills have improved and he has become a team leader. He gets an extra five cents a day."

Qin Huairu didn't care about these things. "What did Shazhu do wrong? Five or six years, that's not a light punishment."

"By the way, what about him, his wife and children?"

Qin Huairu thought about the reason why Sha Zhu divorced her, which was because of that woman and the child.

Thinking of this, I felt a little secretly happy.

Qin Jingru shook her head. "I heard from Damao that he got drunk and had an argument with some villagers. Both of his legs were broken. The worst one was the third one, which was broken by a kick."

When she said this, Qin Jingru blushed.

"Humph, you deserve it for fighting."

Qin Huairu cursed, then her eyes rested on the big unity in Qin Jingru's hand, and an idea came to her mind.

Under the big locust tree, Yang Xiaotao supported Ran Qiuye and walked towards home.

"By the way, I'll call dad later and ask him to come over for dinner if he's free in the evening. We'll go to the West Sea to fish for two fish later."

"Eating more fish is good for children."

"clever!"

Yang Xiaotao supported Ran Qiuye and walked back to the yard. Thinking that he hadn't eaten fish for a long time, he started talking.

Ran Qiuye smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's up to you, smart."

"I'm diligent, okay?"

“If you work hard, you will reap the rewards.”

When Ran Qiuye saw Yang Xiaotao's eyes fall on her belly, she knew that the direction of her hard work was a little off.

Ran's mother stood up and said, "Don't worry about him. He is not home all day long. It's not easy to wait for him to eat."

"And the second child was abducted by him and is also not at home."

Speaking of this, Ran's mother was full of resentment. Her little girl was doing well in school, so why was she called to the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building by the old man?
The key point is, you can go to the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, but you have to go home.

I can't just work overtime with you and sleep in the office at night.

"Mom, Dad, that's for work."

"Besides, he can still delay Xinrui."

Ran Qiuye defended her on the side. Ran's mother snorted coldly and continued to apply powder to the cucumber. Ran Qiuye was helpless when she saw this.

"Xinrui went to the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building?"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly thought of something. Last time, Ran Xinrui wanted to go to the Ninth Ministry to study, and he was thinking of helping out and recruiting his sister-in-law into the research institute in the future. Why did she suddenly go to the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building?

Seeing Yang Xiaotao asking, Ran's mother snorted again.

If it were up to her, she would prefer her daughter to go to the Ninth Department.

Apart from anything else, having my brother-in-law Yang Xiaotao looking after me is much more reliable than that rigid old man.

She also heard that there were many students and young people in the ninth department.

Having these people together is also beneficial to my daughter's development. Otherwise, what good would it be for a little girl to face a group of middle-aged men all day?

When Ran Qiuye heard her mother's voice, she had no choice but to wink at Yang Xiaotao. The two of them hurried into the house, and then she said, "Dad said a few days ago that Xinrui should go to the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building for an internship for a while."

"Oh, that's good. Many of the projects of the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building are still very cutting-edge."

Yang Xiaotao didn't think much about it and said it subconsciously.

Seeing this, Ran Qiuye had to swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

In fact, the reason why my father did this is mostly because of his own men’s affairs.

To put it bluntly, I just don't want my son-in-law to be outdone.

So Ran Xinrui suffered an unexpected disaster.

Hey~
I can only say that my man is so outstanding, so outstanding that even my father-in-law is jealous.

Thinking of this, Ran Qiuye suddenly laughed.

Yang Xiaotao was a little puzzled when he saw his wife suddenly smile, but after glancing at the door and looking at the two particularly conspicuous groups, he involuntarily stretched out his hand.

"Don't make trouble."

Ran Qiuye felt something strange and quickly pushed Yang Xiaotao's hand away, but after pushing away one hand, there was another one.

Helplessly, he could only turn sideways to avoid being caught by Ran's mother.

"I want scrambled eggs."

When she felt her body was about to collapse, Ran Qiuye snuggled in Yang Xiaotao's arms and whispered.

"No problem, fried chives and eggs, I'll make it for you now."

Yang Xiaotao also felt a little angry, but now was not the right time, so he naturally did not dare to continue teasing.

After tidying up his clothes, Yang Xiaotao stood up and walked out.

Ran Qiuye lay down, reached out to touch the little life beating in her belly, with a smile on her face.

It’s so nice to have him accompany me these days.
