Moving Out of the Courtyard
Chapter 2663 Moving Out of the Courtyard
A week has passed since that tea party.
During this week, Yang Xiaotao worked while waiting for instructions on the operation.
While they were waiting, Vice Dean Cheng of Jinling Aeronautical College came to Beijing again, bringing with him the initial design drawings and data.
Yang Youning was the one who received them again.
Yang Xiaotao did not come forward to express his dissatisfaction.
Upon learning of this, Vice Dean Cheng was extremely distressed, repeatedly saying it was a mistake in his work.
But when he wanted to explain to Yang Xiaotao, he couldn't find him, so he had to ask Yang Youning to help him explain.
Yang Youning outwardly agreed, but secretly cursed him.
Is this the attitude one should have towards getting things done?
No wonder they haven't been able to build a helicopter after all this time.
Yang Youning inwardly scorned it, but took the opportunity to reach several cooperation agreements with the Aviation Academy.
One of these issues is the allocation of quotas for outstanding university students.
Although Vice Dean Cheng wanted to take remedial action, Yang Xiaotao had no time to play along with his games.
Putting the helicopter idea aside in a drawer, Yang Xiaotao decided to let it sit for a while before making any further plans.
At the same time, Yang Xiaotao also had several exchanges with Mr. Qian and Mr. Wang.
Last time, Yang Xiaotao was called away by Old Chen to help with cooking.
Qian was then called upon by Liu from the Second Ministry of Machine Building and Song from the Chinese Academy of Sciences to discuss matters.
Afterwards, Qian Lao approached Yang Xiaotao and explained the plans of the Second Ministry of Machine Building and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Perhaps it was because they had wasted the 'five million' from the nine departments that they felt guilty.
That's why they sought Qian Xuesen's help to mediate, meaning that the Second Ministry of Machine Building and the Chinese Academy of Sciences would fully support the Ninth Ministry's research and development of communication satellites.
This is to make up for the losses caused to the nine departments.
Of course, in Yang Xiaotao's view, there is another deeper meaning behind this.
That means participating in this project and sharing some of the credit.
Especially for the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the current situation is uncertain, and there are some things that still need to prove their value.
The nuclear power plant project was originally their first choice, but unfortunately they were tricked by the alliance and ultimately failed.
Therefore, the satellite communication project of the Ninth Division became their last chance.
Yang Xiaotao, of course, welcomed this wholeheartedly.
Although no information about the 'tea party' was revealed to Mr. Qian and the others, their participation would undoubtedly make the plan more complete.
With these people joining, the satellite program will proceed more smoothly.
Therefore, after Yang Xiaotao communicated with Mr. Qian, they reached a preliminary cooperation agreement.
We're just waiting for Yang Xiaotao to issue the assembly notice.
on Monday.
Yang Xiaotao exchanged some goji berries from his spatial storage and carefully tossed them into a thermos, afraid that Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e would see it.
The reason for drinking this is something every man understands.
Yang Xiaotao went back to Yangjiazhuang on Sunday, and while the children were at school, he took Ran Qiuye on his bicycle for a trip to the countryside.
then
Although he received a series of eye-rolls from his wife afterward, and even had his waist pinched until it turned purple, it was the first time the two of them had stepped out of the house after so many years together, achieving a breakthrough from zero.
This novel experience opened up a new door for the two of them, making them unable to stop.
If Dudu weren't still so young, Yang Xiaotao felt that having another child wouldn't be a problem.
After taking a sip of water, Yang Xiaotao looked somewhat listless.
It was only because Xiao Wei came over several times to help relieve my fatigue; otherwise, it would have been uncertain whether I would have been able to arrive at the office on time today.
Just as Yang Xiaotao was yawning, and just as Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e were exchanging glances and thinking about some indescribable scenes, there was a knock on the door.
Liu Lixue quickly got up, tugged at her clothes, and then tucked her hair behind her ear before opening the door.
"Hello, Director Yu."
Liu Lixue opened the door and saw Yu Zecheng standing there.
The two were somewhat acquainted, and Yu Zecheng lived in the backyard of Yang Xiaotao's courtyard house, making them neighbors.
More importantly, she knew Yu Zecheng's identity perfectly well, and she had even heard that he was a rising star with unlimited potential.
Building a good relationship beforehand will also benefit her.
"Hello, Secretary Liu."
Yu Zecheng greeted him with a smile, but as soon as he smiled, his eyes disappeared.
As Yu Zecheng walked into the office, Yang Xiaotao perked up and stood up. "Old Yu, what brings you here?"
He then walked to the side and stood still.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao's condition, Yu Zecheng said with concern, "No matter how much you work, you must take care of your health."
Yang Xiaotao chuckled awkwardly and then asked Yu Zecheng to sit down.
"I haven't seen you go back to the courtyard house lately, you've been quite busy."
Yang Xiaotao said casually, and Yu Zecheng nodded, "I've been busy lately, either in meetings or on my way to meetings."
Yang Xiaotao was taken aback. "Isn't this my lyrics?"
But Yang Xiaotao also knew that it was best for him to ask as little as possible about Yu Zecheng's affairs.
What brings you here today?
Just as Yang Xiaotao was about to ask, Yu Zecheng reached for the water glass on the table and glanced at Lou Xiao'e and Liu Lixue.
Yang Xiaotao immediately understood Yu Zecheng's meaning and said to Liu Lixue, "Xiaoxue, you two go to the research institute and ask Professor Shu if he has made any progress."
Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e understood the meaning behind the words, so they quickly got up to respond and then left the office.
Before leaving, he closed the door.
There were only Yang Xiaotao and Yang Xiaotao in the room. Yang Xiaotao then asked, "Alright, it's just the two of us this time. What's up?"
Yu Zecheng took a document out of the file bag in his hand and handed it to Yang Xiaotao.
"Take a look, this is the task assigned to me by my superiors."
As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao had already picked it up.
I knew what was going on the moment I saw it.
This report concerns security for the space program team. At the last tea party, everyone agreed to go all out.
I just didn't expect Old Chen to be so quick, and even to assign this task to Yu Zecheng.
Yang Xiaotao feigned surprise, then silently looked at the document.
Clearly, this was a well-planned document, which not only listed the information of the security personnel but also outlined targeted surveillance and investigations into the social relationships of the relevant individuals.
Yang Xiaotao looked through the plan one by one, and finally closed it. "Old Yu, is this your task?"
Yu Zecheng nodded. "Yes, it was an order personally issued by our superiors. Of course, I am only responsible for the area of Beijing. As for the situation in other places, it will be handled by others."
"That's it!"
"I agree in principle, as long as it doesn't disrupt our normal lives."
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao agreed to support him, Yu Zecheng breathed a sigh of relief.
His biggest worry was that Yang Xiaotao would rely on the Ninth Department's security division, which would make their mission difficult.
Fortunately, Yang Xiaotao agreed.
At this moment, Yang Xiaotao was also feeling fortunate.
Fortunately, it was Old Yu.
If it were someone else, Yang Xiaotao felt that the cooperation between the two parties might be compromised.
"In that case, I have another plan."
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao had agreed, Yu Zecheng took out another plan.
Yang Xiaotao took it again and glanced at it.
Yu Zecheng was clear about the situation of the Nine Departments, so he focused his attention on the living areas.
The living areas of relevant personnel will be subject to key surveillance to eliminate any potential dangers.
Of course, Yu Zecheng also knew about the courtyard house.
They were even more aware of Wangcai's strength in Yang Xiaotao's courtyard, not to mention that they had been stationing people around the courtyard year-round to protect it secretly.
But even if it's just a matter of being safe, he still saw potential dangers in the people living in the courtyard.
Yang Xiaotao took the document, glanced at it, and frowned.
"Old Yu, isn't doing this a bit... a bit of making a mountain out of a molehill?"
Yang Xiaotao pointed to the arrangements for the courtyard house in the document.
Yu Zecheng, however, remained serious and softly uttered two words, "No."
"Moreover, it's not just courtyard houses; we'll discuss with the neighborhood committee any potential safety hazards in the entire alley and move the residents out."
"Of course, it would be even better if you were willing to move to the military dependents' compound."
"There's no need to disturb them."
Yu Zecheng smiled as he finished speaking, but Yang Xiaotao suppressed his smile.
It felt like the smile was shifting.
"Then forget it, I'm quite happy living in a courtyard house."
Yang Xiaotao didn't want to leave the courtyard house. Not for any other reason than that he had lived there for more than ten years and had developed an attachment to it.
It's hard to leave one's homeland, isn't it? Besides, the children have spent their childhood here; if they move to another place, they'll have to readjust.
Too troublesome.
"Don't worry, we will make arrangements with the neighborhood office. Everyone who moves out will be provided with housing, and they might even receive some assistance."
Seeing that Yu Zecheng said this, Yang Xiaotao did not ask any further questions.
Since his superiors have this in mind, he will cooperate.
After handing the documents back to Yu Zecheng, Yang Xiaotao inquired about the relevant arrangements, which Yu Zecheng answered one by one.
After the two of them established the tone for their collaboration, Yu Zecheng left with Yang Xiaotao's opinions.
In the following days, he needed to implement the plan as soon as possible to fill the gaps.
After Yu Zecheng left, Yang Xiaotao still had a helpless smile on his face.
I used to be just a lowly fitter; back then, nobody knew who he was.
But as I've grown up, I've encountered more and more things.
Who made him a thorn in the side of some people?
Even if I don't need it myself, I still need to protect my family.
With this in mind, Yang Xiaotao felt even less burdened.
Siheyuan.
Third Aunt came out of the Jia family home, her face also beaming with joy.
Inside the room, Qin Huairu looked at a red towel on the table with a complicated expression.
Beside her, Qin Jingru bit her lip, lost in thought.
This towel is the betrothal gift brought by the third aunt.
Ever since Qin Huairu made the decision to ask her third aunt to help her find a husband, she has been waiting for news.
Finally, yesterday, Sunday, she received a message from her third aunt saying that there was a nice man in his thirties, and the two met in the park.
At first glance, the other person took a liking to her and even showed a look of 'desire'.
She had seen this expression on Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai before.
This made her very happy.
This shows that her charm remains undiminished.
Putting everything else aside, just look at her physique and the fact that she's had three children; she's clearly a woman who can bear children easily.
In addition, she has a pretty face, and although the years have left their mark, she has a more mature charm than the average young girl.
As for the man, he was about the same age as her, also unmarried, and raising two sons alone.
The older one is twelve, and the younger one is nine.
This is much larger than the small locust flower.
The thought that the other party's children were two boys gave Qin Huairu a strange sense of excitement.
When Jia Dongxu was alive, she wanted to have more sons so that she could outnumber Ran Qiuye.
Unfortunately, Jia Dongxu passed away later, and his successor, Shazhu, was incompetent, leaving her with a nice house but no one to rely on.
Now that she's remarried, it's like she's back on track.
Moreover, this man looked honest and reliable; he had been working at the coking plant for years and was a coking worker himself.
Although the work is not easy, it pays well.
I get more than thirty yuan a month, and a lot of food coupons too.
The key point is that this man has accumulated a considerable fortune over the years.
Of course, she also had her own conditions.
First, the man must bring his family to live in the courtyard house.
As for the reason, it's quite simple.
She wanted to make a name for herself here, to live a good life, and to show Ran Qiuye what she was made of.
There was also a selfish reason, which was to see Yang Xiaotao every day.
She didn't want him to change his mind; she just wanted him to understand that she, Qin Huairu, was self-reliant and determined.
Secondly, from now on, the man will be the breadwinner, and she will be the homemaker.
She was responsible for managing the household expenses.
Considering that Qin Huairu only brought her two daughters, the man agreed.
These days, the preference for sons over daughters is prevalent. Once a daughter is married, she's considered like water spilled from a cup; the family property will inevitably be left to the son.
Of course, it would be even better if Qin Huairu could have a few more sons.
This was also Qin Huairu's plan.
Since the man had no problems with either of these two points, Qin Huairu had nothing to hesitate about.
Just as Qin Huairu was reminiscing, Qin Jingru suddenly spoke up, "Sister, are you really decided?"
"You, you don't understand Sha Zhu anymore?"
"He'll be out in a few years. What will happen to him if you marry someone else?"
Upon hearing Qin Jingru mention Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu's eyes dimmed, but she quickly recovered.
"Shazhu and I divorced a long time ago."
Whether I get married or not has nothing to do with him.
"It doesn't matter?"
Qin Jingru hurriedly walked to Qin Huairu's side, "It's okay, I'll give you the money I save every month."
"Sis, that's not fair of you."
Qin Huairu composed herself, her expression turning cold once more. "Jingru, I know what you mean."
"Don't worry, I won't bother Sha Zhu anymore. Of course, if you want to get closer to Sha Zhu, I don't mind. After all, you two were once together, weren't you?"
Hearing Qin Huairu say this, Qin Jingru felt a pang of panic.
My first thought was that we'd been exposed.
But she recovered quickly. There was no real evidence of that kind of thing, and as long as she denied it to the death, no one could do anything about it.
As for persuading Qin Huairu, it was purely out of jealousy.
In this courtyard now, she and Qin Huairu are in the same boat.
Qin Huairu wanted to wait for Sha Zhu to come out.
She was the same; she wanted to wait for Sha Zhu to come out.
The results of it?
Qin Huairu actually withdrew halfway through, and even ended up as a live-in son-in-law.
What is she supposed to do?
She didn't divorce Xu Damao.
Moreover, if she gets divorced, the house will no longer be hers, unless she finds a man who owns a house in the city.
But would that kind of man even be interested in her?
You should know that she doesn't have any children.
This is itself a negative point.
"Sis, what are you saying? I don't understand."
Qin Jingru chuckled awkwardly, and Qin Huairu, too lazy to say more, simply smiled at Qin Jingru, "Jingru, don't worry, from now on, we'll still be family in this courtyard, still."
Just as Qin Huairu was speaking, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the courtyard.
Looking through the door, the two saw the three women leading Xiao Li, an official from the neighborhood committee, into the room.
"Qin Huairu, I need to talk to you."
Just as the two were wondering what was going on, the three women shouted loudly.
The two quickly came out of the room and came to stand in front of him.
"Auntie, Officer Li, what's up?"
Qin Huairu smiled, but Xiao Li nodded indifferently, then glanced at Qin Jingru, "Since you're here too, I'll say it all at once."
Qin Jingru was taken aback when she heard this.
Then, Officer Li took out a piece of paper and said in front of everyone, "Given that my street..."
Therefore, Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru and their families will be relocated.
As soon as Xiao Li finished speaking, word by word, the entire courtyard erupted in excitement.
Many people were puzzled. Why would they suddenly make Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru move?
But this was a requirement from the neighborhood committee, and they had no right to refuse.
Moreover, many of them had smiles on their faces.
At this moment, both Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru were pale and looked dazed.
"You two hurry up and pack your things. The neighborhood committee will send a car over to help you move them in a bit."
"The new place is in Shitou Hutong. The house is all ready, so you can move in right away."
"Don't do anything rash this time. There are still about ten households in the whole street that need to move there, so hurry up."
"I'm going next door."
After saying that, Officer Li left with the people from the neighborhood office.
The murmurs that arose in the courtyard brought Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru to their senses.
patter
Qin Huairu plopped down on the ground, "No, no, I won't move. This is my house, I, I won't move."
