Chapter 1349: A Hidden Agenda

As night fell, Yang Xiaotao returned home.

Originally, he was going to see Wang Dahai and his friends off tonight, but because of Optimus Prime's outstanding performance, the military had already given him the latest task.

At the same time, the Seventh Ministry of Machinery also sent someone to contact them and needed to evaluate the workshop's production capacity.

In this case, they had no time to waste. They returned to the machinery factory in the afternoon to say a simple farewell, and then got on the car to return to Quancheng to preside over the work.

As for the machinery factory, the B-type engine will be satisfied as much as possible.

Without guests, Yang Youning still wanted to have a celebratory drink together, but was rejected by Liu Huaimin.

If you want to drink, you have to wait until everyone is together.

Yang Xiaotao also felt that it was a bit early to drink now.

So this drink was postponed again.

So now, Yang Xiaotao has to arrange the affairs of the fifth workshop and the aluminum alloy.

As for the rest, just follow the schedule.

The yard is as lively as usual. Looking at the children running back and forth and the elderly enjoying the cool, the somewhat irritable heart has calmed down.

When she got home, Ran's mother was watering the garden. The three little ones were playing with water nearby. When they saw Yang Xiaotao, they were not polite and splashed water on him.

Yang Xiaotao frowned and scolded them, but the three little ones were more courageous than the other. They were not afraid at all, but became more and more powerful.

"Look, the three of them are less and less afraid of you."

"If you don't take care of them, be careful that they won't recognize you as their father in the future!"

Ran Qiuye saw Yang Xiaotao running into the house with the water on his body, and said lightly.

In front of the children, or in front of the students, Ran Qiuye's teacher's majesty has become more and more intense in the past few years. When facing the three children at home, he is more afraid of Ran Qiuye than Yang Xiaotao on weekdays.

"That can't be! Children, it's wrong not to make noise!"

Yang Xiaotao changed his slippers and came to the kitchen to help.

"How are your things going?"

"Enrollment has already started, but now it seems that there are too many new students, and the things we prepared are not enough!"

Yang Xiaotao was stunned, "Not enough, I remember the machinery factory provided a batch of support?"

Ran Qiuye rolled her eyes, "This time there are four schools, and you can only provide for two, it's still far from enough!"

After saying that, she put down the shiny dough with her fingers and talked to herself again.

"The remaining two schools are still far from enough, the Ministry of Education can only solve half of it at most, and the remaining half..."

As she said that, she looked at Yang Xiaotao with her big eyes, and her autumn eyes seemed to be full of tenderness.

Yang Xiaotao coughed twice in a hurry, walked to the side and sat down, ready to take the rolling pin, "Well, I'll go back and ask if there are any extra ones!"

"Really? Will it be too bad?"

Ran Qiuye smiled in her big eyes, slowly walked behind Yang Xiaotao, put ten fingers on her shoulders, and kneaded them gently.

Enjoying the tenderness brought by his wife, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but reach out and hug Ran Qiuye from behind to his legs.

Then, he kissed her hard as Ran Qiuye exclaimed.

He didn't let go until Ran Qiuye gave up struggling and was almost out of breath.

"Little girl, you can use the beauty trap, tell me, who taught you?"

"Tell the truth quickly, otherwise, humph!"

Ran Qiuye's heart was in turmoil after being kissed. When she heard Yang Xiaotao's words, it was as if her secrets were exposed, and her face was red and flushed.

"Nonsense, who, who used the beauty trap!"

"Tell the truth!"

Yang Xiaotao pretended to use force on his hands, and Ran Qiuye only felt a little pain in her buttocks, and hurriedly said, "Sister Cuiping, Sister Cuiping said, this will work!"

Pa

Ran Qiuye was hit on the buttocks, and the whole person leaned closer to Yang Xiaotao.

While feeling the elasticity, Yang Xiaotao pretended to be angry and said, "Just tell me directly if you have anything in the future."

Ran Qiuye nodded, feeling ashamed and guilty.

"Even if you want to use a trick, you have to tell me before you use it!"

"Ah?"

"What? Tonight..."

After hearing the inappropriate words, Ran Qiuye immediately got up and walked aside to prepare to knead the dough.

"But, this always requires your machinery factory to help. If this gets out, it will be bad!"

Yang Xiaotao took out the rolling pin, "It's okay. The machinery factory has made a lot of money recently, and Lao Yang is very happy!"

It's easy to talk to Lao Liu. I just mentioned it to him last time, and then he agreed happily.

As for Lao Yang, Yang Xiaotao thinks it's not a problem.

Lao Yang, you are used to being a man!

Siheyuan, at the gate.

Sha Zhu walked in with two lunch boxes with a proud step. Xiao Dang and Huaihua beside him each held a piece of candy, eating while calling him "Sha Dad".

"Sha Zhu, you've made extra money again!"

Yan Jiecheng looked at the gate, holding a paper fan and whirring, staring at Sha Zhu's lunch box.

"Yan Jiecheng, don't just lean against the door all day long, you really think you are an onion!"

Sha Zhu glanced at Yan Jiecheng and said with disdain.

If there is one person in this courtyard that he despises the most, it is Xu Damao.

What a bad seed.

But this bad seed is at least capable, at least he can support Qin Jingru.

And the guy in front of him is really a worthless thing.

He obviously has a wife, but he lost her.

He obviously has a job, but now he can only stay at home.

What a waste!

"A good man, eating and sleeping at home all day, are you useless!"

After saying that, he walked into the courtyard with the lunch box.

Yan Jiecheng opened his mouth wide, and his face immediately became hot after being told so by Sha Zhu. He wanted to say something, but he saw that Sha Zhu had already passed the hanging flower gate, so he could only spit twice behind him.

Turning back to go home, seeing the cold eyes of his mother, Yan Jiecheng was even more angry.

"I am not a useless person!"

Throwing down a sentence, he returned to the house, took out a book on basic knowledge of electricians from the drawer, and read it with gritted teeth.

He saw that during this period of time when he was stuck at home, if he wanted to change his life and live a good life, he had to study like Yang Xiaotao.

Studying can help you eat meat.

The third aunt glanced at the eldest brother who returned to the house, and then glanced at Sha Zhu who entered the yard, and threw the vegetables into the basin, "You are such a shameless thing, you still have the nerve!"

Not long after Sha Zhu left, Xu Damao drove in from the alley, with a string of mushrooms hanging on the handlebars, his chin sticking out high, and his eyes looking down.

"Shazhu, wait for me, we'll take our time!"

"Sooner or later, we'll clean them up one by one!"

...

"Zhuzi, you're back!"

As soon as Shazhu passed the hanging flower gate, Jia Zhang came up to him, smiling innocently and greeting him.

Her eyes were glowing green as she stared at Shazhu's lunch box.

Shazhu glanced at Jia Zhang, with a hint of disgust on his face.

At present, Qin Huairu has become the daughter-in-law of his He family, and he has no reputation in this courtyard, so he doesn't have to look at the face of this old woman.

Last time Banggeng got into trouble, when he rushed back to Qinjia Village, the street office originally asked someone to accompany him back, but Jia Zhang refused to go with him, which ruined his plan.

Now he won't give a good face when he sees her.

"This is chicken, right!"

Jia Zhang didn't wait for Shazhu to speak, and put her nose in front of the lunch box, looking very happy.

Shazhu picked up the lunch box, and walked straight to Yi Zhonghai's house without saying a word.

Jia Zhang stood there, and was about to yell and curse when Sha Zhu ignored her, but she swallowed her words when she thought of her current situation.

"Hmph, when Qin Huairu comes back, she will be sent back obediently?"

After saying that, she saw Xiao Dang and Huaihua walking by her side, and she didn't even call her grandma, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

"Two money-losing goods, little ungrateful wolves!"

After cursing, she saw Sha Zhu enter Yi Zhonghai's house, and a smug look appeared on Jia Zhang's face.

...

"Uncle, I'm back!"

Sha Zhu stepped through the door and shouted to the inner room, and Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua ran in excitedly and called him grandpa.

Sha Zhu entered the room and saw Yi Zhonghai sitting on the kang, his face as white as wax.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Sha Zhu approaching, Yi Zhonghai looked up and showed a waxy face.

Seeing Sha Zhu, Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said nothing.

"What's wrong?"

"Say something!"

Sha Zhu felt a little flustered when he saw Yi Zhonghai staring at him with a miserable look.

In the room, the two looked at each other in silence.

Suddenly, Sha Zhu's heart was beating.

Could it be that he had discovered his affair?

At what time, his mind was shaken.

Thinking of the consequences, a married woman and a married man, they got together.

If they were caught, it would be more serious than Xu Damao's bad behavior.

Maybe, he would have to eat peanuts!

The more he thought about it, the scarier it became. Sha Zhu's face looked the same as Yi Zhonghai's.

"Zhu Zi!"

A hoarse voice came out of Yi Zhonghai's mouth. Sha Zhu's legs were weak. If he hadn't held the door frame with his hands, he would probably kneel here now!

"First, first uncle, I..."

Sha Zhu wanted to explain, wanted to tell him that he only felt it when he saw Qin Jingru, and he could only be a man when he was with her.

Being with Qin Jingru, the feeling of stealing was really not comparable to being married to Qin Huairu!

But the next second, Sha Zhu hid this thought.

Qin Jingru, taking such a big risk to be with him...

He can't implicate her!

At worst, he can take it all on himself, but he must not implicate Qin Jingru.

Grit his teeth and don't say anything.

Sha Zhu looked at Yi Zhonghai, but couldn't say anything.

Sha Zhu was tangled in his heart, and the missing part of his lower body was a little shrinking, and it hurt...

Alas...

Yi Zhonghai sighed, which made Sha Zhu's heart tremble!

"Zhu Zi, this family will be handed over to you in the future!"

"Yeah!"

"Yeah?"

Sha Zhu lowered his head and raised his head again, full of disbelief.

Could it be that Yi Zhonghai also agreed with him and Qin Jingru?

Could it be that he also saw that he and Qin Huairu were not a pair?

What should he do then?

Divorce?

At this moment, Sha Zhu had an idea in his mind that he had never thought of before.

And then he quickly threw it aside.

It was not easy to find a wife, and now, there are two daughters calling him silly dad, anyway, it can be said that he has a wife and children.

This kind of life used to be something that could only be achieved in dreams.

Now, we can't just get divorced easily!

Just when Sha Zhu was thinking about it, another person came in from outside.

"Zhu Zi, Uncle, what are you two doing?"

"Xiao Dang and Huai Hua ate all their lunch boxes outside, and you didn't care!"

Qin Huairu walked into the room, picked up the towel beside the basin and began to wipe her sweat.

Sha Zhu saw that it was Qin Huairu, and he was anxious. He must not let Yi Zhonghai tell this.

Yi Zhonghai was still the same as before.

"Uncle?"

"Zhu Zi, what's wrong?"

Qin Huairu glanced at Yi Zhonghai, and saw that Sha Zhu was pale, but his eyes were fixed on Yi Zhonghai.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Sha Zhu knew about her relationship with Yi Zhonghai?

Instantly, the smile on her face disappeared.

In the room, the three people were silent.

Bump

Just as the three people continued to be silent, a lady came in with a piece of pork in her hand.

Seeing that the three people looked unhappy, she also sighed.

"You all know it!"

"Alas, how can this be!"

As the lady muttered to herself, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu's hearts immediately blocked their throats, and they had difficulty breathing.

Both of them stared at Yi Zhonghai, that look, that look of desire and fear, in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, was attachment and reluctance to him.

How great it would be if this was his own child's wife!

Yi Zhonghai suddenly reached out to wipe a tear from his eyes, and was very excited.

Now in the eyes of Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, there were tears of hatred and regret!

The two dared not speak, lowered their heads, and stood side by side!

"You don't have to do this!"

"Your uncle will leave tomorrow, tonight, we..."

At this point, Auntie couldn't stop her tears from flowing out.

"What?"

"What?"

Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu raised their heads at the same time, staring at each other with wide eyes, and asked loudly.

Yi Zhonghai wiped away his tears and saw the surprised look of the two, obviously reluctant to part with him.

Good, good children!

"You don't have to worry, my legs and feet are almost healed, just go back to the village to continue working."

"Don't worry, it's nothing."

"Maybe I can come back in the future!"

Yi Zhonghai sobbed at the end.

Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu were like deflated balloons, and there was no need to worry about exploding.

Their hearts returned to their stomachs.

They were also relieved, and their faces were flushed.

In an instant, they all realized that they were overthinking.
