Chapter 192 Looking for a job
Before leaving, the two agreed to go to Yangjiazhuang on the weekend to tell the village the good news and to let Ran Qiuye know the way.
Maybe it was because he no longer had worries in his heart, or maybe because he got to know Ran Qiuye, Yang Xiaotao just felt relaxed and his thoughts were clear.
Start cooking when you get home.
Of course, he would not reveal anything to the people in the yard, lest these guys show up and make people disgusted.
At night, after Yang Xiaotao finished his meal, he took out a bag of green tea from the space, made a cup of tea, and read quietly.
On the other side, Ran Qiuye, who left school, went straight back home.
The Ran family lives in the same courtyard with three entrances, but it is smaller in size and has not many residents.
Different from Yang Xiaotao's courtyard house, the people living here have the unique spirit of this era. It's OK to be poor, but not bad.
To be a human being, you must have a conscience.
When Ran Qiuye returned to the courtyard, his face showed enthusiasm. He greeted his neighbors and walked all the way to the backyard and returned home.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother cooking, and my younger sister and younger brother were playing next to me. When I saw my eldest sister coming back, I immediately greeted her.
"Mom, eldest sister is back."
"Sister, why are you so early today?"
"Sister, can you buy me a candy man? Uncle Wang in the front yard bought one, and I took a bite. It's so sweet!"
She felt extremely happy to have her sister and brother hugging her.
"Little brother, Mom said you can't eat sweets. Your tooth hurts if you eat sweets."
"Second sister, the candy man is so delicious."
"That won't work either. Our family still has to spend money to buy stick noodles!"
The two of them talked in a serious manner in front of Ran Qiuye. Ran Qiuye took out two cents from his pocket with a smile and handed it to the second sister, "Take it and go out to play."
When the two little adults saw it, they immediately ran to the front yard.
"mom!"
"Hey, why are you back so early today?"
"You are spoiling them again!"
Ran's mother put down the noodle scoop in her hand, and Ran Qiuye walked to her side, rolled up her sleeves, and picked up the steamed buns.
"Mom, the school has arranged a job for me."
"What job?"
"Going to teach in a village down there will cost you three yuan more a month than you do now."
Ran's mother raised her head and looked at Ran Qiuye.
"The village below?"
"Um!"
After a moment of silence, Ran's mother looked at her eldest daughter and sighed in her heart, "Qiuye, did you ask to go?"
Ran Qiuye shook her hands, knowing that her mother had seen through it, so she didn't say anything and lowered her head to work.
"well!"
Ran's mother sighed.
"Mom, don't think too much."
"I volunteered. Staying in school makes me feel uncomfortable. I just want to take this opportunity to go to the countryside."
"Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with going to the countryside. I can teach well, instead of having nothing serious to do in school like now!"
Ran Qiuye said firmly. After hearing this, Ran's mother no longer objected, but asked about the school.
Seeing that her mother supported her, Ran Qiuye also told the story about Yangjiazhuang Elementary School. Of course, she didn't notice. After Ran's mother heard the whole story again, she found that the person who appeared most in Ran Qiuye's words was a steel rolling mill worker named Yang Xiaotao.
After dinner, Ran Qiuye helped prepare things at home, but Ran's mother left the backyard, walked to the front yard, and came to the uncle's house in the yard.
After a while, Ran's mother returned home again, as if nothing had happened.
In the early morning, Yang Xiaotao got up, got dressed, heated the leftover steamed buns in a pot, and then practiced lunging in the yard for a while.
The thrusting skill is still at the elementary level now, and it has not improved no matter how hard I practice.
Finally, Yang Xiaotao guessed that if you want to upgrade, you need actual combat exercises.
After eating, Yang Xiaotao picked up his fishing rod and prepared to go to the West Sea.
The tank has been empty for a long time recently, so I just happened to catch a few more fish.
When I walked to the front yard, I met Yan Fugui who was also going out.
"Hey, Xiaotao, you go fishing too!"
"Good morning, Third Uncle!"
"It's getting late. I can't find a good place now. It would be nice if I had a bicycle."
Yan Fugui said when they met, they walked out of the alley together.
"By the way, what did the principal ask you for yesterday?"
Yan Fugui asked curiously. Last time, he vaguely mentioned that he could help buy school supplies, but Yang Xiaotao ignored him at all, making all his plans go to waste.
"Nothing, just asking about school."
Yang Xiaotao would not tell him about Ran Qiuye. It was this guy in the movies and TV series who let Sha Zhu know that Ran Qiuye would not do anything after accepting the gift.
A shit stirrer.
Besides, if he knew it, wouldn't the entire courtyard know about it?
Given the urinary nature of this group of people, what kind of ulterior motives could come from not being able to keep them all equal?
It's better to keep it a secret.
"Xiao Tao, let me tell you, school work is not simple. It requires qualifications and experience..."
Yan Fugui started to show off, but Yang Xiaotao didn't want to say more, "Third uncle, if you go late, there will be no place. I'll leave first."
Saying that, regardless of Yan Fugui's surprise, he speeded up and left.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao walking away, Yan Fugui had no choice but to speed up his pace.
If you go late, you will really have no place.
In this way, when Yan Fugui came to the West Sea, many people around him had already started fishing.
Yan Fugui quickly found an open space, which happened to be not far from Yang Xiaotao.
At this time, something was already swaying in Yang Xiaotao's bucket, and at a glance he saw a fish swimming happily.
"Third uncle, hurry up!"
Yang Xiaotao lifted the pole and a palm-sized carp was thrown up. He took it off and threw it into the bucket.
When Yan Fugui saw it, he immediately became greedy and quickly set up his posture to fish.
At ten o'clock, Yang Xiaotao looked at his watch and then at the fish that was having difficulty swimming. He put it away with satisfaction, then picked up a half-meter-long big fish next to him and got up to go home.
This is the second time I have caught such a big fish.
However, this time I relied on my fishing skills.
Yan Fugui looked at the heavy fish bucket and the big fish hanging on the rope in his hand, his face almost twisted with envy.
Looking at my fish bucket again, I saw a small fish with long fingers turning its belly, which made me feel uncomfortable.
"Third uncle, I'm back, you continue."
Yang Xiaotao deliberately walked past Yan Fugui, and Yan Fugui's eyes became hot again.
I wanted to get some fish, but I saw many people watching around me, so I still didn't feel embarrassed to ask.
But after Yang Xiaotao left, Yan Fugui ran over, hoping to catch more fish with the help of Yang Xiaotao's feng shui treasure.
Yang Xiaotao once again ‘swaggered through the city’. People who recognized Yang Xiaotao along the way sighed again and received a lot of attention.
As for returning to the courtyard, let alone that, there was no third uncle in the front yard, but the third aunt was still there. In addition, the relationship with Yang Xiaotao had improved a lot this time, so she came up to her with a kind smile.
"Third aunt, third uncle is at the back. This time we have gained a lot."
Yang Xiaotao walked into the middle courtyard with a smile. The third aunt was stunned when she heard this. She looked back at the entrance of the alley, but there was no one there.
But when Yang Xiaotao said this, I felt a sense of expectation in my heart.
Qin Huairu, who was looking after the child in the middle courtyard, looked straight at her. When Yang Xiaotao walked back to the house, she pulled back her neck and looked at the fish, full of longing.
Back at the house, Yang Xiaotao packed up the big fish on hand. With his level 4 cooking skills, braised fish was a piece of cake.
"Damn little beast, you eat fish again, how come you don't let the fish bones get stuck in it?"
