Scholars in the courtyard

The night passed.

The next day, when Yang Xiaotao came to the machinery factory, he received a call from Liu Dehui in Quancheng.

The people sent by Quancheng Automobile Factory have already set off. This time they came with the same few as last time, but there were a few more, all of whom were veterans of vehicle design.

Liu Dehui reciprocated the favor. The people he sent were all carefully selected in order to maintain good cooperation with the machinery factory.

Zhang Guanyu went to the northwest on a business trip, and Yang Xiaotao could only arrange for Pang State to receive them, and then introduce them to Dai Qinggang and the others.

Although the purposes of both parties are different, the needs are naturally different.

One is an armored vehicle and the other is a heavy truck.

There are still differences in the requirements for the engine.

Yang Xiaotao has nothing to do about this. He can't design two eight-cylinder engines.

It can only be done by letting both parties adapt to the engine.

As for the engine drawings, Yang Xiaotao plans to wait until the two groups of people meet before taking them out.

During this time, Yang Xiaotao will ask Pang Guo and Liu Daming and others to prepare first.

As for the subsequent finished products, this has to be inspected by the first machine department and superiors, and then produced depending on the situation.

After arranging the personnel, Yang Xiaotao continued to study his motorcycle.

The morning passed like this. During lunch, Yang Xiaotao received a notification from Liu Huaimin that Yang Youning had arrived in Yanzhou.

Yanzhou, where the steel plant was built!

Yang Youning got off the train, took a bumpy ride on a truck, and finally arrived here.

Facing the roaring crowd and the dusty construction site, Lao Yang's face was covered with a layer of dust.

If he hadn't arrived in the northwest, Lao Yang would still be a little disappointed, but now, he's used to it!
"Hello, this is Director Yang from Hongxing Machinery Factory!"

"I'm Liu Jun! Just call me Lao Liu!"

While looking at the construction site, a middle-aged man wearing military green long sleeves strode over, followed by two guards.

Yang Youning came to his senses and hurried up the mountain, "Hello, Comrade Liu Jun."

When the two met, the person who came was the on-site commander here and the leader of the station.

Before coming, Yang Youning had learned about the situation here.

The members of the new team knew that the head of Sijiu City had personally dealt with this matter, so they did not dare to be vague. When they asked for people to give people and things for things, they were doing their best to ensure the logistics work.

However, the nature of this steel plant has become a military industry, which is an unchangeable fact.

Yang Youning didn't care about these things.

Even in his mind, it would be good to become a military industrialist. Dealing with soldiers would save a lot of twists and turns.

Just like the person in front of me, although he speaks straightforwardly, he is not artificial at all.

"Director Yang, you're finally here. We, the soldiers, have a headache just looking at the drawings. If someone doesn't come to take charge of the overall situation, I'll give up and go back!"

Liu Jun complained that what he was doing here was actually much more difficult than conducting exercises in the military camp.

"If I hadn't been left behind by the king's team, I would have gone south to participate in the exercise now, alas!"

As he spoke, Liu Jun sighed to himself again, obviously reluctant to do this job.

It was just a military order, and he couldn't refuse it.

Yang Youning couldn't do anything about Liu Jun's complaints.

He is the director of a machinery factory, not a steel factory!

But if you just build a factory, you still have some experience.

"Old Liu, how is the situation now? How far has the project progressed?"

Liu Jun picked up a kettle and handed it to Yang Youning, "Construction started during the Chinese New Year, but the weather in the northwest is very cold. It wasn't until last week that it got warmer, and the ground was a little loose."

"The comrades have the fighting spirit, but the progress is indeed not fast!"

As they talked, the two came to a construction site, where one person was pushing a wheelbarrow and the other was loading soil into the baskets on both sides of the car.

“The ground must be compacted and the foundation must be laid, otherwise nothing can be built on top!”

Yang Youning nodded, just looking at this efficiency, it is too low!
Seeing Yang Youning's thoughts, Liu Jun spread his hands and said, "There is nothing we can do, we have tried our best!"

Yang Youning nodded, and then walked around the construction site.

This is much more difficult than expected!

It takes at least a day to push a mound of soil over from a hundred meters away.

If this continues, let alone finishing it in the middle of the year, it will be good if it is built before the end of the year.

Not to mention arranging the machines to be in place and building the converter, let’s postpone it later!

After walking all the way down, Yang Youning was in a low mood, "Old Liu, I want to contact Sijiucheng. Do you have a phone number?"

"Yes, it's a military phone. Just transfer the line. It'll be quick!"

The two walked to the temporary station.

Sijiucheng, Machinery Factory.

Yang Xiaotao was eating in the cafeteria, and several people around him were laughing and discussing things in the workshop.

Zhou Peng leaned in front of Yang Xiaotao, opposite Li Nan and Wang Fa.

"When will your baby be born?"

Zhou Peng smiled, "Around June!"

"I went to the hospital for a checkup last week. There is nothing wrong. The adults and children are fine!"

Opposite Wang Fa put down his chopsticks and said, "You still have to be careful. It's not a trivial matter for a woman to be pregnant and give birth to a baby!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes, especially the emotions. If you have nothing to do, please stay with me at home!"

"Well, now as long as I don't have to work the night shift, I'll be with you at home!"

"Her textile factory has also arranged lighter jobs, so it's taken care of!"

Zhou Peng is very satisfied with his current life.

His monthly salary is quite high, and with the benefits, he is also one of the best in their courtyard.My daughter-in-law is also a regular worker, and the salary in the textile factory is also good. The young couple manages their own life.

Although there are two younger sisters in the family, the eldest brother Zhou Kui fights more than the two of them combined, and his sister-in-law is not bad either. The life the family is living now is something they have never imagined.

Not to mention having a capable "brother".

With Yang Xiaotao here, their family has a backbone.

In response, Zhou's mother even went to the courtyard house every now and then to help look after the children.

He even said that it would be great if Duanwu and Xiaoyu were together and they could kiss each other.

"That's right, Brother Tao!"

Zhou Peng lowered his voice, "That He Yuyu in your courtyard is Si Zhu's sister! Do you remember?"

"Well, I know! What's the matter?"

When Yang Xiaotao heard the somewhat distant name, He Yuyu's vague face appeared in his mind, and he lowered his head and continued eating.

This person was also a good tricker in the original drama.

It was just because of his arrival that He Yuyu was affected, and he became a sensible person in the courtyard. After getting married, he moved out and never returned to the courtyard.

I heard that the relationship with Shazhu was also broken, which is a blessing among misfortunes!
"Isn't my partner working in the same factory as her?"

"I heard that he was unhappy with his mother-in-law because he had no children. Because of his background, his partner's promotion was affected. I heard that it seemed like he was getting divorced!"

Yang Xiaotao stopped his chopsticks and recalled in his mind the several times He Yuyu appeared in the play.

It seems that after getting married, she rarely appeared in the courtyard.

Finally, when Lou Xiao'e brought her child back, she met Sha Zhu.

After that, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu were brought together. It can be said that Sha Zhu finally had a chance to get rid of Qin Huairu. Together with Lou Xiao'e, he could be regarded as a "family member".

But under the influence of He Yueyue, Shazhu was originally unable to carry it, and Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai and a group of people in the courtyard were scheming.

In the end, not only did Sha Zhu lose his opinion, but Lou Xiao'e also became a big grievance.

As for the "happy happy ending" in the final film and television, it is purely for the sake of catering.

That's it. Yang Xiaotao remembers that during the final "reunion", He Yuyu also came to the courtyard alone.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know the inside story either. After all, what was shown on TV were concentrated points of conflict, and more of the banality of daily life!
Even so, it can be seen that He Yuyu's life after getting married is not satisfactory!
"Alas! This natal family is not strong enough, and the married daughter is also being bullied!"

Zhou Peng sighed, thinking of his two younger sisters. If anyone dares to bully them, they will definitely be beaten!
"Okay, let's eat!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't think much about He Yuyu. To him, He Yuyu was just a passerby.

What does good or bad have to do with him?

It is estimated that when two people meet, they cannot say hello!
After everyone finished eating, Yang Xiaotao walked to the office to prepare the design drawings of the motorcycle.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Liu Huaimin sitting on a chair nearby.

"Lao Yang called just now."

Before Yang Xiaotao could speak, Liu Huaimin took the lead and said, "He is in Yanzhou, and the factory construction there is encountering some difficulties!"

Yang Xiaotao sat down, and Liu Huaimin immediately explained Yang Youning's situation.

Of course, Yang Youning felt uncomfortable when he heard that the machinery factory was constantly moving.

I even regretted my decision to leave the machinery factory, which was too hasty.

Especially when he learned that Yang Xiaotao was going to build an eight-cylinder engine, he was even more anxious. He wanted to end the matter here quickly so that he could return to the machinery factory to take charge of the overall situation.

On the phone, this anxiety was also conveyed to Liu Huaimin.

Liu Huaimin didn't know what Yang Youning was thinking. He was just worried that the comrades in the steel plant would be tied up in Yanzhou, which would not be a good thing for the future development of the steel plant.

So, after dinner, I came to Yang Xiaotao to wait.

"That's the way it is!"

"The comrades from the steel plant are expected to arrive tomorrow, but with the conditions on site, I'm afraid they won't be able to carry out work for a while."

As Liu Huaimin spoke, he also expressed concern about what happened in Yanzhou.

"Have you told Mr. Xia?"

"said!"

"Lao Yang and Mr. Xia are angry! But Mr. Xia is also thinking of a way."

Speaking of this, Liu Huaimin approached Yang Xiaotao, "This time, Chief Wang is looking for the military, which means that this steel plant is considered a military industry. Although our First Machinery Department is involved in it, there are some accounts that cannot be dealt with clearly, and there is nothing Mr. Xia can do about it." .”

"This time, the main thing is for us to figure it out ourselves."

Yang Xiaotao sat in a chair and thought deeply. An Zhongsheng and others will be the elites of the future steel plant. The current output of the steel plant can still meet the demand, but with the increase in production capacity and the gradual increase of machine tools, the demand for steel will only increase.

Taking precautions is the best policy.

Besides, leaving them idle is not a waste of energy.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Xiaotao had an idea.

"Since the current project progress is a bit slow, let's speed up!"

"Manpower is sometimes scarce, so use machines."

Liu Huaimin looked at Yang Xiaotao in surprise, not understanding what he meant.

Yang Xiaotao took out his notebook and started drawing on it.

Liu Huaimin stepped forward and took a look, and immediately understood that this was a forklift.

"If we modify our Double Star tractor and let the steel mill cooperate, it will not be difficult to assemble a forklift!"

Liu Huaimin nodded and said, "This is the only thing we can do now!"

"This matter is left to you."

"it is good!"

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao agreed, Liu Huaimin stood up and left.

As for how to solve it, we have to wait and see.
