Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2446 Ye Lao: I know someone

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao closed the pen in his hand, put it on the table, and walked away.

Lou Xiao'e and Liu Lixue were both stunned.

"Let's go. I'll give you half a day off."

Yang Xiaotao smiled at the two of them, then strode out.

"By the way, have someone guard the door and don't let anyone in."

After saying this, the person had already walked away.

Liu Lixue came back to her senses and then said with a smile, "Our leader is really free and easy."

Lou Xiao'e nodded vigorously. "That's totally different. When I was in the courtyard, this guy made delicious food all day long, which made the children in the courtyard cry with greed. But he just did what he wanted and didn't care what others thought."

Finally, he added in his mind, "When it comes to doing bad things, they also have their own set of methods."

Liu Lixue didn't care about that. She came up to Lou Xiao'e and grabbed her hand. "We can finally take a break. Let's go watch a movie."

"Yeah."

The two of them left the office hand in hand. Before leaving, they found Wang Hao and arranged for someone to guard them.

In the courtyard.

Miaomiao took her sister to play. There were many children in the yard now, chattering a lot. When school was over, the whole yard was filled with children's shouting.

As for Duanwu, under Yang Xiaotao's "education", he was standing in the yard holding a pole, his face covered with sweat, but he completed the task meticulously.

This is also what makes Yang Xiaotao very pleased.

I can't tell other things about my son, but I can see some signs in his character.

When doing something, just keep doing it.

It may sound a bit strong to say that he is very determined, but he also knows how to persist better than other children in the school.

Or just be stubborn.

At Yang's house, Cuiping came to visit Ran Qiuye with her child.

The so-called confinement period is a situation in this era.

That is to say, in the city, if you have the conditions, you can stay at home to recuperate after giving birth.

If I were in the countryside, I would have gone to work in the fields long ago.

Ran Qiuye also wanted to come out, as her body recovered faster than Cuiping.

Don’t ask how I know this, because Yang Xiaotao has tried it himself.

Of course, it's just a taste.

"Cui Ping, your Qian Qian is such a good sleeper."

In the room, Liu Yuhua held her belly and talked to Cuiping about the baby. Then she turned to look at Dudu in Ran Qiuye's arms, "Little Dudu is still the most energetic. Look at his little hands, they are clenched tightly."

Cui Ping didn't care after hearing this, "Of course, look whose son-in-law this is."

Liu Yuhua rolled her eyes after hearing this, then looked at Duanwu who was playing with Xiaoyu in the yard, and couldn't help but smile, "Qiuye, you can't favor one over the other. My Xiaoyu grew up with Duanwu, so they are childhood sweethearts, right?"

Ran Qiuye was holding Dudu and listening to the two people chatting, when she suddenly heard Liu Yuhua say this and was unable to react for a moment.

Cuiping smiled and said, "Oh, you're looking for a son-in-law now. What if Xiaoyu doesn't like him?"

Liu Yuhua patted her belly and said, "That's okay. There's another one."

Cui Ping glanced at him, then looked at Ran Qiuye with a smile, "Qiuye, you have to have a few more children quickly, otherwise there won't be enough sons-in-law to share."

Hearing this, Ran Qiuye smiled and shook his head, "You guys are just worrying about nothing. Just live your life first."

They both smiled when they heard it.

Now, the three of them are the most comfortable families in the courtyard.

Needless to say, Yang Xiaotao's family has money and status, and Ran Qiuye is not a pretty face either. She earns no less than other families every month.

Cuiping's family. Even though Cuiping doesn't work, she receives a subsidy every month, and it's not a small amount.

What's more, Yu Zecheng's allowance increases every year, so his children don't need money to go to school. There are not many places to spend money, and his family is well-off.

Finally, there is Liu Yuhua’s family. Both of them are working, and their lives are more comfortable than most families.

"Qiuye, let's take a break. When will we start working?"

Cuiping was biting a cucumber and couldn't sit still.

The confinement period is like torture, it's very uncomfortable.

It was difficult to finish, but the child was too young and there was no one to take care of him, so she could only watch him at home.

Ran Qiuye also missed the children in school.

That is her career and also her hard work.

"Let's wait until a hundred days have passed. Then we can go to the countryside and put the child down."

Ran Qiuye thought for a moment and finally made a decision.

"Okay, let's go together then."

After the two of them agreed, they talked about the country school and then began to talk about their children's education.

Yang Xiaotao came back early today, which surprised everyone.

Especially Ran Qiuye, she knows the pressure her man faces.

For the past half month, I have been busy at home until midnight almost every night, and I have left when I wake up in the morning.

"Why did you come back so early today?"

Ran Qiuye held Dudu up and asked. Yang Xiaotao took Dudu and prepared to prick his beard, but Ran Qiuye hugged him and said, "Don't make trouble, you have an untidy beard."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and touched it, "It's the weekend today, give yourself half a day off."

After that, he chatted with Liu Yuhua and Cuiping for a few words, and then went into the house to wash up.

After washing his hair, shaving and tidying himself up, he is a handsome young man again!

After a narcissistic boast, Yang Xiaotao went to the yard and prepared to add a double bed to his home.

After all, there is a new member in the family, and there may be other children in the future.

Have to prepare in advance.

I found the carpenter's toolbox, got the door nails from the house, and started working in the yard.

It was almost dark when I put away the semi-finished products, found some oilcloth to spread out the food, and prepared to cook.

Coming to the kitchen, Yang Xiaotao picked up the Garuda knife, took out a piece of beef from the space, and started chopping it.

"Qiuye, what delicious food is your family going to make?"

Cui Ping asked curiously when she heard the sound of chopping meat. Ran Qiuye looked back at the kitchen and shook his head, saying, "I don't know. He eats whatever he cooks."

A hint of envy appeared on Liu Yuhua's face, of course, this envy was for Ran Qiuye's figure.

She has given birth to four children and eats a lot, but her figure is like that of a newly married young wife.

If we follow past experience, after giving birth to several children, the ones that are supposed to be fat will get fatter, and the ones that are supposed to be fat will get fatter.

Especially the skin, which is loose and weathered everywhere.

Just like Qin Huairu who was washing clothes outside, she gave birth to three children but her clothes were still yellow and ugly.

But these are of no use to Ran Qiuye.

She even felt that the more children Ran Qiuye gave birth to, the better her skin became.

I was even wondering in my heart whether I should ask Ran Qiuye how he maintained it.

As night fell, a bowl of beef meatballs was placed on the Yang family's dining table. The tomatoes inside were orange red, and several children kept swallowing their saliva.

There are four dishes on both sides of the bowl: fried eggs with leeks, fried cabbage with meat, fried shredded potatoes and cold cucumber salad.

"Mr. Chen has replied."

Yang Xiaotao sat down and Miaomiao took the bottle and poured him some wine. Yang Xiaotao smiled and said to Ran Qiuye.

"where?"

"Director Wang said to bring it back tomorrow."

Ran Qiuye picked up a spoon and scooped a bowl of beef meatballs and placed it in front of Yang Xiaotao, then scooped some for the children before giving herself a bowl.

Now, only soup was left in the bowl.

"I guess he wrote back after hearing our good news."

Yang Xiaotao said as he exchanged his bowl with Ran Qiuye's. "Nine out of ten times, he wants to ask how the child is, and then show some concern."

"Well, maybe I can also complain that Brother Chen is lagging behind." "Haha!"

Ran Qiuye was used to this, and after hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, "What's there to compare to?"

"Hey, you don't know yet, the older generation is looking for boys to carry on the family line."

"Of course, in my place, boys are raised in poverty and girls are raised in wealth."

“But the heart is the same.”

Yang Xiaotao added a sentence, then glanced at Miaomiao and the other two, but at this moment the three kids were all eating with their heads down.

It was Duanwu who raised his head, with rice grains still hanging on the corners of his mouth.

What did he hear just now?
Raise your son in poverty?

Then just stay at home.
Xiaodao counted in his head and found that, including those who couldn't speak, there were only two boys and three girls.

So their family is rich?

"Eat well."

Ran Qiuye glanced at Duanwu in a daze and said, "After you finish eating, go do your homework."

Duanwu immediately lowered his head and licked the rice grains at the corner of his mouth into his mouth.

But I was complaining in my heart. I was tired after working all afternoon and still had to do homework in the evening.

I'm still a child.

When Yang Xiaotao saw this, he lowered his head and smiled. He thought that his son probably wouldn't be able to become a teacher when he grew up.

"My grandfather also called me. I think he will come before the 11th."

"With grandma?"

"Well, Auntie wants to come too."

"Then we have to prepare the room in advance."

"It's okay, there's still time."

After the family had finished their meal, Ran Qiuye cleaned up and Yang Xiaotao then came to the backyard with his things.

Ran Qiuye was not very convenient during this period, so the old Taoist got together with Mr. Ye.

Bringing a lunch box of beef meatballs, Yang Xiaotao came to the Taoist's house.

At the door, Tianzun saw Yang Xiaotao coming and wagged his tail.

When I walked into the room, I saw two old men smoking and chatting, and there were several plates and bowls on the table.

"What are you two talking about? You're so excited!"

Yang Xiaotao put the lunch box on the table. The Taoist priest took out a cup and put it in front of Yang Xiaotao. "Nothing to say, just chatting."

Yang Xiaotao sat down cross-legged, picked up the bottle of wine and filled it up for both of them, then poured himself some.

"It's not like you to come back this afternoon."

The old Taoist drank his wine with a slurp. Old Ye could drink quite a bit, but he was very restrained when drinking. "Yeah, I heard you were working on an airplane a while ago. Have you found a solution?"

Yang Xiaotao picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "No, but it will be soon."

Yang Xiaotao had a feeling that success was only a few days away.

"I'm glad to be back early today."

After saying this, he put down his wine glass and told the story. Others could choose not to tell it, but given the status and position of these two people, it would not matter if they told it.

"What? One hundred million?"

"Did you really scam 100 million?"

The old Taoist's voice changed, and Mr. Ye also sat up from his reclining position.

They both knew about Yang Xiaotao's "silly moves" during this period, which was to treat the people in the desert as rich people. But even though they are rich people, they are not stupid.

How else could he have this wealth?
The two had no hope for Yang Xiaotao's small moves.

But now it seems that this rich man's brain is really extraordinary.

No, it should be said that the brains of these poor people cannot keep up with other people's thinking.

"What are you yelling about? It's just 100 million. Is there any need to be so aggressive?"

"Besides, what is a scam? This is a normal economic transaction, it's something we both agreed to. How can it be a scam when you say it?"

"Old Taoist, I must criticize you. Your ideological awareness is a bit behind the times."

Yang Xiaotao said calmly, but the old Taoist pointed his finger and said, "You, you bastard, are you still pretending to be me?"

"You talk as if you've seen it before. Let alone 100 million, even if you erase two zeros, have you ever seen it?"

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao felt that this question was a bit tricky, so he decided to remain silent.

After the Taoist priest finished speaking, he still felt uncomfortable. He picked up the wine glass and poured the wine into the cup, then drank it in one gulp.

Mr. Ye picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.

"One hundred million, divided in half, fifty million, after conversion, one hundred million should be enough."

"Now, we have a solution for solar cells."

Hearing Master Ye say this, Yang Xiaotao's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward, "Master, did Master Chen Fang contact you last time?"

As soon as Mr. Ye heard it, he knew what Yang Xiaotao was planning and shook his head. “No, I guess they haven’t made up their minds yet.”

"But I think we have to help with this."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Of course we have to help, we don't need that little bit of money, right?"

The old Taoist standing by squinted his eyes and smiled after hearing this, saying, "It's true that the Jiubu is rich now."

“But I still want to fight for it.”

Hearing this, Mr. Ye did not say much. He knew that Yang Xiaotao was a man of his own ideas, so he pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Last time I heard you say that you wanted to do satellite communications. I know someone who used to study walkie-talkies when he was in the United States. He is very talented in optoelectronic information communications."

“We haven’t had much contact since I came back, but this guy is a talented guy.”

"Maybe I can help you."

When Yang Xiaotao heard this, he didn't care about the Chinese Academy of Sciences anymore. If these two people could really help him develop it, he would pay for building a satellite himself.

When the time comes, the worst that can happen is that I can say a few nice words to the master and ask my father-in-law for help. Why worry about not being able to deliver the goods?

"Master, please tell me quickly, what's the situation with this person? Where is he? I will ask someone to look for him tomorrow."

"If such a talent doesn't come to our Nine Departments, we will suffer a great loss, and he will also suffer a loss."

Yang Xiaotao was excited, and Old Ye was also smiling, then he said softly, "This man is called Shu Xingbei, he is a little younger than me, we can only be considered acquaintances."

"Shu Xingbei? I seem to have heard this name somewhere before."

Yang Xiaotao frowned, not sure whether he had heard it in his previous life or in this life.

But this person should be a celebrity.

None of the things Yang Xiaotao can remember are simple.

"I don't know exactly where he is now, but I heard a while ago that he accepted a job offer from Qilu University and became a teacher. You can ask around."

"Okay, Qi Lu, I have someone."

Yang Xiaotao thought of that generous face and immediately had an idea.

The three of them chatted for a long time at the dinner table. As it got dark, Yang Xiaotao helped Mr. Ye back to the central courtyard.

When I got home later, I saw the light in the study was on, so I knew Duanwu was doing his homework in there. I could see the aggrieved expression on his little face from a distance.

After thinking about it, Yang Xiaotao walked into the study, and out of curiosity, he picked up the design drawing on the table and began to unfold it.

"Dad, is this a plane?"

Duanwu threw the pencil away, his face full of curiosity.

"Yes, this is the plane designed by Dad."

"Oh!"

"So, Dad, what is this?"

"This, this is the fuel tank inside the plane."

"what about this?"

"This is a wheel, but inside it is a buffer device with hydraulic oil."

Yang Xiaotao explained carefully, and Duanwu's eyes became more and more interested.
Ran Qiuye saw Cuiping off and saw this scene when he passed by the window. A smile appeared on his face involuntarily, and he couldn't help but think of what his father had said to him, 'Parents are the best teachers for their children.'
