Scholars in the Courtyard

Chapter 1269: Not Enough to Share

In the courtyard, Lou Xiao'e walked through the alley with a bag of loose milk candy.

She had no objection to the courtyard. She was a carefree person. Besides, there were people she didn't want to see in the courtyard, but there were more people she wanted to see, so it was natural for her to come here.

After passing the entrance of the alley, she saw the third aunt sitting at the door as usual. Since Yan Jiefang left the Yan family and went to the northwest, the third aunt felt that the family was less cheerful and very dull.

In addition, the eldest son Yan Jiecheng was divorced and had no fixed job. He stayed at home most of the time, which made her upset.

Nowadays, the salary of her husband at home was not enough to support her, and the courtyard was not as calculable as before. Life was really tight.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e coming in from outside, the third aunt's eyes lit up.

This Lou Xiao'e is now very powerful. Not only has she become a worker, but she is also Yang Xiaotao's secretary. I heard from the workers in the courtyard that her salary is not lower than that of a third-level worker.

Moreover, the one who is close to the water gets the moon first. Last time when their machinery factory distributed benefits, Lou Xiao'e was the first to pick them out. Even the plum blossom soap at that time, she also had a piece.

"Xiao'e, you are here again."

Third Aunt put down her needlework and said. Many people in the yard saw Lou Xiao'e. Someone greeted her, and Lou Xiao'e naturally couldn't keep a cold face.

"Yes. You are busy."

Looking at the third aunt, Lou Xiao'e replied and walked towards the middle courtyard.

Third Aunt looked at the disappearing back, and saw Yan Jiecheng walking in from outside with his head down, and an idea came to her mind.

After passing the hanging flower gate, Lou Xiao'e saw that in the Yang family yard, little Duanwu was holding a water gun and spraying water from the basin into the yard. This combination of bamboo pole and chopsticks was Yang Xiaotao's masterpiece at a glance.

"Duanwu, look, what did your godmother bring you?"

Lou Xiao'e raised her hand and shouted with a smile.

Duanwu saw it and immediately ran over with a water gun, "Godmother~~"

"Hey~~"

Lou Xiaoe picked Duanwu up and kissed him on the face, "Well, your little face is so soft, do you miss your godmother?"

"Yes!"

Little Duanwu said in a baby voice, but his eyes were fixed on the White Rabbit candy in Lou Xiaoe's hand.

"Hmph, shameless!"

Just when Lou Xiaoe was holding Duanwu, a disgusted voice sounded from the side. Lou Xiaoe looked and saw that it was Jia Zhang who was rubbing her head at the door of Jia's house.

Lou Xiaoe knew what kind of old woman this was. She was a bully who only feared the strong and bullied the weak. Your tolerance to her would only encourage her arrogance and make her worse.

At this time, Jia Zhang felt uncomfortable looking at Lou Xiaoe, especially when she brought a bag of candy back to the little beast of the Yang family. The three children in her family had never seen so much candy.

"Hmph, isn't this the professional cesspool owner on the street, Jia Zhang!"

Lou Xiaoe held Duanwu without any self-interest, but what she said made Jia Zhang's forehead hurt even more.

"You..."

"Well said!"

Before Jia Zhang could speak, a mean voice came from the moon gate in the backyard, and then Xu Damao came out again with a bottle of soy sauce.

He had seen Lou Xiao'e at the moon gate a long time ago, and his ex-wife was becoming more and more feminine in his eyes, much better than the country girl at home.

Thinking of the love and good times they had spent together in the past, he felt regretful.

Only after losing did he know how to cherish, and only after comparison did he know how good his ex-wife was.

And he thought he knew Lou Xiao'e well, and as long as he showed a little, the relationship between the two sides could be eased.

That's why when Jia Zhang was about to embarrass Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao saw an opportunity, an opportunity to improve the relationship.

However, he obviously forgot that Lou Xiao'e was no longer the caged bird or canary.

Just when Xu Damao was about to approach Lou Xiao'e, Lou Xiao'e looked at him with disgust and then pulled away.

This made Xu Damao a little embarrassed.

"Xiao'e, no, I'm on your side!"

"No need, Xu Damao, our relationship is not that good."

Lou Xiao'e didn't want to deal with this villain, but Xu Damao really wanted to improve the relationship.

"Xiao'e, listen to me..."

"What are you talking about? A toad wants to eat swan meat, Shamao, I remind you, don't make the same style problem again, and watch the melon again!"

At some point, Shazhu stood at the hanging flower gate with a lunch box, talking while walking into the yard.

In fact, when seeing Lou Xiao'e, Shazhu's eyes were also

If it were usual, Xu Damao would be three points shorter than Shazhu, but since the last time, he has established a psychological advantage and has become tough.

"Shazhu, keep your mouth clean, be careful that I will let you go to the hospital for two days."

Xu Damao said arrogantly with a long face, and didn't forget to kick his feet.

"Shamao, I think you deserve to be beaten, right?"

Shazhu couldn't bear it anymore, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to move forward.

Just as he started walking, he felt a little pain in his crotch, and his face changed, "Lou Xiao'e, I advise you to stay away from this bad guy, so as not to get into trouble."

Lou Xiao'e didn't look at Sha Zhu in a good face, "I know, it's none of your business."

"You two are no good!"

"Hey, Lou Xiao'e, I'm kindly reminding you, don't be ungrateful!"

"That's right, Xiao'e, how can I be like him?"

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao were about to say a few words, but they saw many people in the yard surrounding them.

Looking around, they were all from the machinery factory.

"Hey, you, what are you doing?"

Xu Damao was surrounded in the middle, his face was ugly.

The soy sauce bottle in his hand was shaking a little.

Many people stood beside Lou Xiao'e, calling each other Sister Xiao'e and Secretary Lou, and looked at Silly Zhu with even more unkind looks.

In the yard, Ran's mother walked out, followed by Ran Hongbing, and Wangcai appeared beside Lou Xiao'e at some unknown time, looking warily at Silly Zhu.

Seeing this, Shazhu's face turned pale, and he was suffocating in his heart. People in this courtyard really looked down on him less and less.

Not allowed to say anything?

Before now, who would have dared to challenge him?

"snort!"

Silly Zhu snorted coldly and was about to walk back. He could see that from now on, things in the courtyard had nothing to do with him.

As for Jia Zhang, when the people in the courtyard came out, she ran back home when the situation was bad. As soon as the door was closed, she lay on the window with half of her head exposed.

"They're all here!"

Just when Sha Zhu was about to go home and Xu Damao was about to escape from the crowd to make soy sauce, someone else came in from the outside. Everyone saw that it was Director Zhang from the street police station.

When Xu Damao saw Director Zhang, he instinctively ducked into the crowd with a look of awe on his face.

Silly Zhu's expression changed drastically. The lunch box in his hand felt like a hot potato, and he couldn't even throw it away.

Fortunately, his face was the color of pig liver before, and it didn't change much now, so it didn't attract anyone else's attention.

"Zhang Suo, are you off work?"

When people around him saw Zhang Suo, they came up to say hello. They had done nothing wrong, so naturally they were relieved.

"After get off work, come and take a look."

Zhang Suo smiled. He was now wearing plain clothes. Then he saw Lou Xiao'e and Ran's mother behind him. He stepped forward and asked, "Is this Xiao Tao not back?"

Ran's mother nodded, "Zhang Suo, are you looking for Xiao Tao? Come in and sit down."

"Yes, I heard that your family Wangcai has a baby, so I came here to hold him."

Zhang explained his purpose, and Ran's mother smiled after hearing this, "Well, tell me, and I'll tell him and leave one for you."

"That's a good relationship. I'll pick one first."

The people around them knew what was going on, but when they asked Yang Xiaotao about it before, Yang Xiaotao didn't let go.

Hearing Zhang Suo's intention, Xu Damao and Silly Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, put down their worries, and prepared to leave.

"Director Zhang, please wait."

Lou Xiao'e directly held Duanwu in front of him.

"Comrade Lou Xiao'e, what are you doing?"

"Zhang Suo, there is one of mine here, and I agreed to it first, so I have to pick it first no matter what."

Zhang Suo was stunned for a moment, then he understood something, "Okay, there's one anyway, you come first."

"Thank you Zhang Suo!"

As he said that, he prepared to walk into the yard, followed by Zhang Suo. As for Ran's mother, it didn't matter anymore.

In her opinion, if there are so many puppies in the house, they will have a lot to eat when they grow up.

Giving a few away will just relieve the pressure.

"etc!"

Just when a few people were about to enter the yard, someone suddenly shouted, and then everyone saw two people walking over quickly.

Seeing the leader, Silly Zhu felt his legs trembling.

It was these people who handled the old lady's case, and they were also the ones who were sentenced to forced labor. As for their identities, it is self-evident.

Seeing them, Silhu's heart was filled with fear instinctively.

Fortunately, the visitor did not notice Silly Zhu, but came directly in front of Zhang Suo. The leader laughed and said, "Old Zhang, hurry up and hurry up. We finally caught up."

As soon as Zhang Suo saw the person, he shouted in his heart, "This guy must be here just for this little bitch."

"Director Yu, you are quite well-informed."

"No way, no way, I'm still one step behind you."

The two were chatting, but they did not enter the yard, but chatted outside.

They knew that the current situation would only work if Yang Xiaotao came back to make a decision.

Fortunately, they didn't wait too long. Yang Xiaotao came in from the outside with Ran Qiuye, and then saw people outside the yard.

"Director Yu, Suo Zhang, what kind of wind brought you two here together today."

When Yang Xiaotao saw the beautiful girl for the first time, his heart skipped a beat.

In addition, Zhang Suo was also there, guessing what was going on and asking these two people to come together.

He glanced around and communicated with Xiaowei in his mind that there was nothing strange.

"What kind of wind? Of course it's an east wind. We've been waiting for this wind for a long time."

Director Yu said it rather playfully, then got into the topic and explained his intention.

"We're not greedy for these puppies. Just give us four."

Director Yu knows how important a well-trained police dog is. Just like the last time he arrested Han Mei, Wangcai played a key role.

"Four? There are only seven in total. You want more than half of them."

Before Yang Xiaotao opened his mouth, Zhang Suo had already objected. He was one of them. Who would have thought that this guy, who seemed to be honest and responsible, could be so greedy.

Yang Xiaotao also shook his head, "Four is too many, not enough."

"Uncle Xu wants one, Wang Hao from the security office wants one, and the old man in the backyard wants one. Our family will keep another one, and we agreed to one from Uncle Chen."

Yang Xiaotao counted on his fingers as he spoke. After calculating this way, what can be divided is not enough.

Director Yu frowned upon hearing this, "Xiao Tao, I said this first."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yeah, so you can only have one."

"Ah? Where's mine? I said so too."

Lou Xiao'e counted and found that Yang Xiaotao's share was no longer hers.

Yang Xiaotao shrugged awkwardly. He just realized that he had exceeded the number.

Ran Qiuye saw this and pulled Lou Xiaoe into the house. She realized that these puppies were in great demand.

"Xiaotao, you know our mission. These police dogs need good seedlings for training, so you have to give me at least two."

Director Yu stepped forward and put his arm around Yang Xiaotao's shoulders, saying kindly.

"Xiaotao, our police station is the same, but I'm not greedy. One is enough."

Zhang, who was standing by, also spoke up, and Yang Xiaotao had a headache.

"Hey, Director Yu, Chief Zhang, we can't go back on our word."

"It's true, there's not enough to share."

Before Yang Xiaotao could speak, a Sichuan accent came from the Chuihua Gate, "What's not enough to share? Good stuff, let me take a look."

After the voice fell, an old man in simple clothes, short but energetic, with a cigarette butt in his hand and a smile on his face, walked in slowly.
