After driving slowly all the way, Yang Xiaotao returned to the courtyard.

After parking the car, I heard the sound of crackling firecrackers coming from the alley, and at the same time, there were bursts of laughter.

Yang Xiaotao thought for a moment, took out a bag of candies and a bag of melon seeds from the space, and walked home with them.

Outside the gate, the Dragon Boat Festival was playing with a group of children.

This kid is about to enter elementary school, but he only thinks about playing.

If the little head Guazi hadn't been quite smart enough to satisfy my dear Teacher Ran, my butt would have blossomed a long time ago.

"dad!"

"dad!"

As soon as Yang Xiaotao appeared in front of her, Yueyue Rongrong hurried over and took the bag from Yang Xiaotao's hand.

These two clever guys know who has the final say in the family, so they can only act coquettishly to their father when their mother can't see them, and then get some benefits.

Yang Xiaotao also knows what the children are thinking. It’s the Chinese New Year, so the children should be happy.

So Yang Xiaotao took out a handful of candies from the bag and gave three pieces to each child who came over.

The children who came over after hearing the news also participated.

Yang Xiaotao didn't even pay attention to Xiaodang and Huaihua who came to join in the fun.

After sending the group of children away, Yang Xiaotao looked at the new couplets that had been pasted on the gate.

Love the collective, love the family, work hard and bear no complaints

Build the country and build the revolution with one heart and one mind

One look at the handwriting shows that it is Yan Fugui's handwriting.

Look up again, look at the banner above, serve the people.

Come on, Comrade Lao Yan has changed his gender this year and has become enlightened. He is no longer a Fulin Courtyard.

But this level is just average.

Yang Xiaotao walked in after reading it. He didn't have time to come back today. He couldn't miss making dumplings in the evening.

As soon as I entered the door, the congratulations from the neighbors on the left and right could be heard.

The news about the Spring Festival performance held in the machinery factory in the morning has long been spread, and many people in the courtyard have received awards.

Among them, Wang Jun's group from Wang Dashan's family was rated as an advanced model, and each person received a reward of thirty yuan.

Although it is only a small reward, for today's families, thirty yuan is almost equivalent to one or two months' income.

What's more, the machinery factory has prepared New Year's goods for everyone, including food and supplies.

But he was the envy of others in the courtyard.

"Mr. Yang."

"Xiao Tao is back."

"Brother Tao, come to my house to eat dumplings."

As soon as he entered the courtyard, there were sounds of greetings coming from all around, and Yang Xiaotao responded one by one.

Passed the hanging flower gate and walked into the courtyard.

Wangcai's family was wandering around the yard, and the New Year's celebration also infected them, and they were playing in the yard one by one.

"Master!"

As soon as Yang Xiaotao entered the door, he saw his grandfather playing chess with Lao Tao.

On the side, Ran Qiuye was kneading dough and preparing to make dumplings.

Ran Qiuye breathed a sigh of relief when Yang Xiaotao came back. He was worried that Yang Xiaotao would not be able to come back if something happened during the Chinese New Year.

Now that Yang Xiaotao is back, the family has a backbone.

"Back."

The master looked up and then continued to stare at the chessboard.

Yang Xiaotao placed the melon seeds next to the two of them and took a look at the battle situation, which showed two stinky chess baskets.

Coming to the kitchen, Ran Qiuye had already prepared the meal.

"Xiao'e came over this afternoon and said that your performance was a success?"

"What's the point of success? I wasn't given any reward."

Yang Xiaotao complained, but Ran Qiuye smiled and said, "With your status, what other reward do you want?"

Yang Xiaotao listened and looked outside, and then said in Ran Qiuye's ear, "You don't have to give up other rewards, but you can't give up yours."

As he looked up and down with his eyes, Ran Qiuye blushed and said, "No one is serious about celebrating the New Year."

bang bang bang

There was the sound of crackling firecrackers outside, and then I heard Dragon Boat Festival running in with a roar, begging for something next to the master.

Ran Qiuye was about to go out when she saw him, but Yang Xiaotao held her back.

"This guy has lost thirty cents today. He will definitely go out to buy some cannons soon."

"Buy it, my grandpa will give it to me. Go and tell me not to give it to you. Will he listen to you?"

Ran Qiuye was stunned for a moment, then said, "This brat is getting more and more rampant, he needs to be educated."

While he was talking, he saw the master take out two cents from his pocket, and the old man took out two cents. At this moment, Duanwu collapsed with excitement, and ran out with the money.

"I would like to see if this guy can spend money."

Yang Xiaotao suddenly smiled and said, "It would be okay if Hua understood."

"But if you can't settle the accounts, this kid, haha, needs to be educated."

Ran Qiuye rolled her eyes, her feelings were waiting here.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Dragon Boat Festival to run back with a bunch of firecrackers, followed by a group of children.

Yang Xiaotao came out with a handful of melon seeds. When he saw the Dragon Boat Festival showing off his joy, he waved to greet him.

The young man still didn't know what his father meant. He was talking excitedly about how many firecrackers he had bought. Yang Xiaotao didn't interrupt him and waited until he finished speaking before asking, "How much does a firecracker cost?"

Dragon Boat Festival was stunned for a moment, with confusion on his face.

He ran into the supply and marketing cooperative before it closed, gave all the 40 cents to the salesman, and then ran back with the cannon in his arms.

As for how much it costs, I didn’t even ask!

Duanwu was hesitating and speechless, and Yang Xiaotao asked Miaomiao to bring the cannon over, "Count how many!"

Duanwu felt that something was wrong and hurriedly went over to count.

People in the surrounding courtyards came out to watch the fun.

"Dad, six, six hang!"

After counting the Dragon Boat Festival, I still don’t understand what happened.

"Miaomiao, tell me, how much does a hanging cost?"

Miaomiao glanced at Dragon Boat Festival and knew in her heart that her brother had miscalculated!

But in front of her, her father was watching, so she didn't dare to say anything wrong, so she could only say honestly, "Dad, the supply and marketing cooperative works for five cents a piece!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then looked at Dragon Boat Festival, "Your great-grandfather gave you two cents, and grandpa Zhang gave you two cents. You both bought small cannons, right!"

Duanwu still didn't understand the current situation. He stretched his fingers behind his back and counted. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.

"Have you figured it out?"

Duanwu nodded.

"Wrong?"

"Um!"

"How many should it be?"

"Eight, eight!"

"It's not bad, that's right!"

Yang Xiaotao threw the melon seed peels in his hand into the vegetable garden, turned around and walked into the house.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Your New Year's money is gone this year!"

Hearing this, Duanwu was stunned for a moment, and then tears filled his eyes, and he burst into tears immediately.

"If you dare to cry, don't eat tonight!"

The sound came from inside the house, and Duanwu immediately shut his mouth tightly, not daring to say anything.

It's just the grievance on his face that makes anyone feel distressed when he sees it.
