The two of them entered the house, and Xiao Liu's wife glanced at the little Dragon Boat Festival who was still sleeping, "Your Dragon Boat Festival is really worry-free, unlike mine, where you sleep late and wake up early, and make trouble all day long."

Ran Qiuye glanced at the little Dragon Boat Festival and smiled, "It's still young. It will crawl in a few days. I don't know how to do it yet."

"That's true. Old people say that naughty boys have great potential. I heard that Director Yang was the king of children when he was young."

"Really? I don't know yet."

"I also heard what Aunt Chen said. By the way, does Aunt Chen believe it? How are you doing there?"

"Aunt Chen, I wrote to ask about the situation last time, and also said that I would come back at some time to see the little Dragon Boat Festival..."

Ran Qiuye said happily.

In those years in this courtyard, I became close to Uncle Chen's family.

It's a pity that I just left the Siheyuan.

"Yes, Uncle Chen and his family have been gone for so long, and I still miss them so much when I talk about them."

"But there is nothing we can do. The eldest brother of the Chen family has children who have to go to school and have to work. They can also help in the past..."

Then the two started talking about the Chen family, and the Liu family's daughter-in-law listened quietly and took it to heart.

"By the way, I heard that there was trouble again at the steel rolling mill."

After talking about the Chen family, the Liu family's daughter-in-law changed the topic to the steel rolling mill, "This time I want to build a pressure cooker, heater, stove, etc., so that my family doesn't know what to do. What's going on with this steel rolling mill?"

Things are happening everywhere, can’t we live a stable life?"

"By the way, they also talked about holding a workers' meeting and asking everyone to vote on it."

"What else should I choose? These things were all done by Director Yang, so Director Yang should be in charge."

The Liu family's daughter-in-law said this sincerely. In her family's opinion, Yang Xiaotao was capable, everyone was willing to listen to him, and he was kind to someone from the same hospital.

If a new director were to take over, the one in his family would not want to go to Workshop 10 anyway.

It's not that I look down on Shifang, but I don't want to be with someone I don't know well.

"As long as the leadership decides on matters in the steel rolling mill, we workers should just do our own thing."

Ran Qiuye heard the Liu family's daughter-in-law complain for a while and replied casually.

The little daughter-in-law of the Liu family nodded, and finally envied Ran Qiuye. She was a blessed person. She was pregnant with two children at once, and her revolutionary mission was completed.

Much better than the few that can be born in the courtyard.

Asked again when Yang Xiaotao would come back, Ran Qiuye shook her head. She didn't even know where Yang Xiaotao was now.

However, Yang Xiaotao should be with the children.

If we come back, let's come back together.

After the Liu family's daughter-in-law left, Duanwu had woken up. Ran Qiuye helped the little Duanwu and fed him some rice cereal. Then he heard the sound of a stick killing a pig coming from the yard, and Ran Qiuye shook his head again.

Without Yang Xiaotao in this family, it's like half of the family is missing. There is no interest in joy, anger, sorrow or joy.

Suddenly there were footsteps outside the door. Ran Qiuye looked up and then stood up.

Outside the house, Ran's mother came over with anxiety on her face.

Ran Qiuye went out and invited Ran's mother into the house. Seeing her mother acting like this, something might have happened.

Without waiting for Ran Qiuye to ask, Ran's mother said, "Qiuye."

"Today the uncle in the courtyard told me that there are people around the courtyard asking for news in the past few days."

"It's our family's business inside and out, and by the way, it's also your father's business."

"You also know that the dead man has been missing all these years. I don't know where he is. Who do you think is investigating us? Could it be..."

Ran's mother's hands were cold as she spoke.

Ran Qiuye's heart skipped a beat when she heard that her family was being investigated.

In the early years, their family was worried about this incident for a long time.

However, it was just a matter of fear and gossip from people around me, so it was usually just speculation. After all, many people knew that my father was studying abroad.

But there is really no such secret investigation.

"Mom, don't be afraid yet."

"If the higher authorities really want to investigate, they will do so in an honest and fair manner."

Ran Qiuye calmed down and analyzed calmly, and then remembered what Director Wang once said.

"Director Wang has said this before, and Xiao Tao has also explained it. Let's not scare ourselves by thinking about it."

Ran's mother felt relieved after hearing this, but she panicked at the thought of being investigated.

Seeing her mother like this, Ran Qiuye was also a little undecided.

"Well, you watch the Dragon Boat Festival, and I'll go to the subdistrict office to find Director Wang to see what's going on."

Ran's mother nodded.

Right now, all she can rely on is her eldest daughter.

Ran Qiuye asked Ran's mother to wait at home, and then left the house.

In the yard, Banggeng was chased by Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiefang. They ran all the way to the door of the house and hid behind Jia Zhang.

"You two bastards, what are you doing?"

"If you dare to bully my awesome family, you're courting death, right?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang stood up, her hair was messy, and her scalp, which was missing a piece, was particularly fierce.

Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiefang were both frightened by Jia Zhang, but they felt angry when they saw Bang Gang hiding behind and making faces.

"Bangge, if you dare to curse anyone again, I will beat you every time I see you."

The two of them said harsh words and turned around and went back to their respective homes.

Mrs. Jia Zhang sighed, "Little bastards, why are you scolding you? That's right!"

He stared at the two of them, and then saw Ran Qiuye coming out of the house and walking towards the front yard step by step.

Mrs. Jia Zhang muttered a few words.

"You have to pay for having two children, huh!"

Turning to look at Banggeng, "Banggeng, where is your schoolbag?"

Jia Zhang glanced at Banggeng. Apart from her clothes, which were a little darker, she had nothing else. She just couldn't find her school bag.

"Throw it away at school."

"Then what are you going to do with your studies? Your mother is coming back to check your homework."

"Now that I've done it, I've learned that a long time ago."

After hearing this, Jia Zhang touched Banggeng's head and said, "My Banggeng is still smart, and he will definitely be promising in the future..."

When Banggeng returned home, Xiaodang hurriedly came up.

"Brother, won't you take me out to play?"

BangGeng straightened his neck and said, "Boys are playing, why are you getting involved?"

After saying that he was not happy to see Xiaodang, Banggeng took out a yellowed book from his chest and said, "I picked this up from Liu Guangfu, and he doesn't know it yet. What a fool!"

"Haha. Look, there are paintings on it, it's so ugly!"

Xiaodang quickly brought it over. There wasn't much paper at home, so I would have some for going to the toilet later.

"Brother, what are these words?"

Xiaodang pointed to the first three words, Banggeng glanced at it and said, "Mu Xiaosan."

"oh!"

...

On the other side, Xiao Liu's wife, who returned home, remembered what she heard and then led her child out of the alley.

After a while, I met my uncle and told him what Xiao Liu had told me.

After finishing talking about the matter, Xiao Liu's wife did not leave, but solemnly asked, "His uncle and sister-in-law are from a womanly family, but there are some things that I need to ask clearly."

"Sister-in-law, tell me."

Seeing that the other party was serious, Xiao Liu quickly agreed.

"My sister-in-law has lived in this courtyard for many years. The Yang family are good people."

"You can't wrongly accuse good people."

Xiao Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he couldn't tell her the specific things, so he could only nod, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we won't do those things."

Xiao Liu's wife nodded and then took her child home.

After the others left, Xiao Liu looked at the collected information and said, "I have no clue."
