Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 1061 Helpless Father Ran

Yangjiazhuang.

Yang Xiaotao brought the hot dumplings to the table. People around him had already prepared bowls and chopsticks, waiting for food and drinks.

He took off his shoes and got on the kang and sat down next to the master.

Opposite are Teacher Hong and his lover. At this moment, Teacher Hong is playing with the little Dragon Boat Festival. Next to him, his lover and Ran Qiuye are holding each other and talking for a while.

The two daughters were dressed thickly. It had just entered November, and Ran Qiuye had prepared cotton coats and trousers for them.

Of course, now I have to wear crotchless pants.

The clothes were made from Yang Xiaotao's old coat, and even the cotton was from the past.

It’s not that we don’t have cotton coupons at home, it’s just that children’s bodies grow too fast, and they need to be replaced with new ones after wearing them for a year or two.

Ran Qiuye kept the clothes she wore during the Dragon Boat Festival so that she could wear them when she has children.

In comparison, the three children in Yang Xiaotao's family are already quite happy.

Many children in the village still don't have cotton-padded clothes. Even if they do have cotton-padded clothes, they wear them with patches on top.

And more people don’t have cotton-padded jackets at home.

So in the winter, the children at home are kept indoors.

However, the situation on the farm has improved in the past two years, and the stove has been installed in the school, giving the children more places to go.

"Teacher Hong, wine is what makes dumplings. The more you drink, the better. Let's make one first."

Yang Xiaotao picked up the wine glass and said to Teacher Hong.

Teacher Hong smiled and showed his big teeth, pointing to the food on the table, "What you said is obviously because you want to get me drunk and prevent me from eating so many good dishes."

Haha
"I don't know how much you drink. Even if you finish drinking all the wine at home, you can still go out for a couple of runs."

After hearing this, Teacher Hong picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Taiye and Yang Xiaotao, and the three of them drank it down in one gulp.

Then he picked up the chopsticks and ate the hot dumplings.

At this time, Teacher Zhang beside him saw that his husband was drinking, and sighed, "Old Hong, I never drank alcohol before."

Yang Xiaotao was stunned. It seemed that he knew how to drink when he first met Teacher Hong.

"It's all old history, people will always change."

Teacher Hong put down his chopsticks and said happily.

After hearing this, Teacher Zhang glanced at her husband. Seeing that Yang Xiaotao still couldn't believe it, he immediately explained, "He was afraid of drinking and getting into trouble during the war. Plus, he couldn't smell the smell of alcohol, so he never drank."

"When we got married, when we were toasting, he drank water while others drank. Because of this, several comrades kept laughing at him."

After hearing this, Teacher Hong waved his hand again, then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "It's true that I never drank alcohol before."

"But later on, I felt that time would pass quickly when I drank wine, and I would forget some things. It was good."

Speaking of this, Teacher Hong was filled with emotion.

Yang Xiaotao picked up the wine bottle and filled it up himself.

"As a result, when I drank, I realized that I drank a lot."

Hahaha

Teacher Hong smiled, and the two drank another drink.

The grandfather took the little Dragon Boat Festival and asked about the students.

Yang Xiaotao has also been paying attention to the students in junior high schools in Forty-Nine City, especially those at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. He still knows the news about Yang Hongye and the others.

In particular, many parts of the support programs implemented by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have already emerged.

Naturally, there is a hybrid rice plan in the south.

The people who went to study in the northwest with Yang Xiaotao last time came back and felt that their abilities had improved a lot. In view of this, when Gao Yufeng contacted him, he also wanted to train a few people to study in the south.

Use practice to improve abilities.

Yang Xiaotao thought it was a good idea, but what he learned from books was not as profound as practice.

Now that Yang Xiaotao talked about the affairs of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Mr. Yang was relieved. In his life, it would be difficult to see Dragon Boat Festival and the others grow up, after all, their age.

But seeing the children like Yang Hongye grow up and become talents, it can be regarded as an explanation with the ancestors.

Ran Qiuye and Teacher Hong were very happy to hear that the children would have a future.

Each of these children who walked out of school poured their hard work into their lives.

Seeing students become talents is the best reward for teachers.

A few people were chatting and laughing, and Teacher Hong suddenly asked about the machinery factory.

"It was said on the radio that you have developed a new technology for steelmaking? Tell me?"

Yang Xiaotao put down his chopsticks and didn't hide anything, "That's called an oxygen top-blown converter. It has a pipe extending into the furnace from above..."

Yang Xiaotao was making gestures and explanations, and Teacher Hong kept them in mind.

These things can help him understand the current situation of the country, which is very useful.

"Is liquid oxygen so difficult to obtain?"

"It's not bad, as long as the key technologies are developed."

"The efficiency of steelmaking has improved?"

"Well, it saves half the time and fuel than before..."

The two of them were talking on the table, and the wind blew outside at some point, causing the trees to sway and the branches to sway.

In the yard, Wangcai used his tall body to shield the black girl from the wind.

The black girl leaned on Wangcai and absorbed the warmth of Wangcai.

The next day, Taiye and Ran Qiuye got up early and went to school, while Yang Xiaotao looked after the children at home.

Now that it's getting colder outside, he doesn't dare to take it out, so he can only stay at home.

Faced with three children, Yang Xiaotao was also overwhelmed.

After a while, Little Dragon Boat Festival was about to go out, but the little guy was careless and wild, and kept going out.

Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to put on thick clothes and let him play with Wangcai in the courtyard.

After a while, the third child was hungry and cried, and Yang Xiaotao went to heat up the rice porridge.

After a while, the second child peed and cried, and Yang Xiaotao quickly went to change the diaper.

Fortunately, Yang Shitou's family came over with their children and finally helped watch.

Yang Xiaotao didn't have anything to do. He picked up the carpentry work he had put down and started making small chairs for the two girls in the courtyard.

After the New Year, the two little guys can use it.

In the middle of the afternoon, Ran Qiuye came home from school and saw two small chairs under the sun in the courtyard, and Yang Xiaotao was oiling them with a brush.

He walked into the house, looked at the child, and then prepared to cook.

"Any news from dad?"

Yang Xiaotao looked up and then shook his head.

"No!" Ran Qiuye nodded, then became a little worried, "There's been no news for so long, he's not still in the same place!"

Yang Xiaotao stood up and didn't know what to say.

Yang Xiaotao had also thought about Ran's father's arrangements, and he also heard some information from Director Tian when he went to Jinling last time.

Combined with what he heard in his previous life and what he decrypted from TV, Yang Xiaotao believed that Ran's father was probably going to combine the two bombs.

After all, it’s not enough to just have bullets and a gun. You also need to make the bullets and gun models consistent.

Otherwise, none of them will work.

It's just that he can't tell Ran Qiuye about this, and besides, he doesn't know about this union.

After comforting Ran Qiuye, the two talked in the yard.

From school students to parents, most of the topics ended up being about the three little guys in the room.

Yang Xiaotao suddenly discovered that since having these three little guys, the relationship between him and Ran Qiuye was changing.

The love in the past is fading away, and there is more of family love.

It's not that it's not good, I just feel like it's missing some of the feelings that men and women should have.

Well, that feeling of passion.

"Passion is always created."

Yang Xiaotao touched his chin, watched Ran Qiuye run into the house, and followed closely.

As for the Little Dragon Boat Festival, let’s play outside.

Forty-Nine City, the train station.

The train stopped, Ran's father was carrying his luggage, and he was followed by the guard Xiao Wang, but this time there was Lao Zheng and the guard beside them. The four of them got off the train one after another and came to the platform.

"Old Zheng, we're here."

Ran's father said happily.

Since receiving the invitation letter from the Third Machinery Department last time, the two of them submitted the application together. This time they returned to Sijiu City to report to the Third Machinery Department.

Lao Zheng looked at Sijiucheng and sighed with emotion.

Unlike Ran's father, who was originally in Sijiu City, as an outsider, he had never been to Sijiu City before, and this was his first time here.

Looking at the train station, which was larger than the ones along the road, as well as the trains coming in and out from time to time, and the people getting on and off the train, Lao Zheng was a little dazzled for a while.

"Old Zheng, Old Zheng, what are you looking at?"

Seeing that Lao Zheng didn't respond, Father Ran quickly stepped forward and shouted twice.

"Ah, it's okay, I just came here for the first time to take a look."

"have a look."

As Lao Zheng spoke, the excitement on his face slowly returned, and he said to Ran's father, "Well, this is your land. You must fulfill your duties as a landlord."

"That's necessary. Come home with me later. When the time comes."

As Ran's father said, he suddenly remembered that his family was not rich, but he thought that he had a good son-in-law who had many good things, so he changed his mind and said, "When the time comes, let my son-in-law come and have a drink with you."

"Yang Xiaotao? That boy, it's been a long time since I left last time."

"Not only that, old Taoist, the former Zhang Dedao is now a neighbor of my son-in-law."

"Really? Then we need to get together more."

The joy of life is meeting old friends in a foreign land.

Just as the two were about to leave the platform, two people suddenly stepped forward and stopped the four.

Xiao Wang followed the other guards and immediately stepped forward to block the two people from outside.

When the two approached, they saluted together, then took out their IDs, and said, "You two are Comrades Zheng Shuangyan and Ran Zhiqiang."

"We are Wang Tao, the security officer of the Third Machinery Department, and we have been ordered to pick you two up."

After the leader Wang Tao finished speaking, Xiao Wang had already checked the documents and found that there were no problems, so he nodded to the two of them.

Old Zheng glanced at Ran's father. Although the two of them were going to the Three Machinery Department this time, they were not in a hurry to tell each other. They wanted to report after settling in Sijiu City.

Especially Lao Zheng, his family is still in Xiangsha City. They just made a phone call a few days ago and agreed to come to Sijiu City for a reunion.

After settling in, we have to bring our family over.

Okay now, go directly to the No. [-] Machinery Department to report?
wrong.

Suddenly, Lao Zheng and Ran's father looked at each other. This scene was so similar to when they left home.

It's just that they have no other choice.

Wang Tao saw the concerns of the two of them and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you two. We were just ordered to invite you two. The chief wants to see you two."

After hearing Wang Tao's words, both of them understood what was going on.

just.

We all arrived at Sijiu City and were about to enter the house.

When I go there, I still don’t know what will happen, how we will arrange it, and where we will go.

Passing through the house without entering, seriously, helpless.

"Let's go."

After Ran's father adjusted himself, he saw a look of uneasiness flashing across Lao Zheng's face. He had clearly agreed to gather his family in Sijiucheng, but this time he might have to change his goals again. Thinking of his mother, wife and children who were running around, Lao Zheng's heart , deeper.

He sighed, then stepped forward and said, "It may not be a bad thing, let's go and take a look first."

After all, Lao Zheng is an old revolutionary, and he also knows that there are some things that he cannot control himself.

Hearing Father Ran's words, he nodded silently.

The two followed, and after exiting the platform, they got into two jeeps.

Then the car drove towards the north of Sijiu City.

About half an hour later, the car stopped in front of an office building. After Lao Zheng and Ran's father got off the car, they walked to the office building under the leadership of Wang Tao.

"Welcome, you two."

As soon as I entered the building, I saw a middle-aged man walking towards me, with a very enthusiastic expression.

"Comrades, this is our office director, Director Tian."

Wang Tao introduced at the side, and Lao Zheng stepped forward to shake hands, "Hello, Director Tian, ​​I am Zheng Shuangyan, and this is Comrade Ran Zhiqiang."

"Hello, hello, welcome to Director Zheng from the Third Machinery Department."

"Welcome, Team Leader Ran."

"You two are here. The chief asked you three times a day. If he hadn't been in a meeting right now, he would have come to greet you two personally."

Director Tian was still polite, but looked at the two of them with different eyes.

He was simply polite to Director Zheng, but to Father Ran, he was somewhat flattering.

Neither Lao Zheng nor Ran's father noticed this, and both of them felt strange. How could the head of the Third Machinery Department care about these two 'little soldiers'?
The two were temporarily arranged into the conference room, where they waited anxiously.
