Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1410 You make me very proud
"Old Fang!"

"Director Xiao Yang!"

Fangyuan still looks the same, but compared to when he saw her before, time has not spared anyone.

But the spirit is not comparable to before.

Obviously, this pressure is reduced a lot.

The two hugged again.

"long time no see!"

"No, last time I came here, your corn had just started. Now look, corn is being planted everywhere."

"It's been so long, and I heard that I licked two girls again? You have to make up for this wine for us!"

Fangyuan said without hesitation, and Yang Xiaotao patted his shoulder, "Needless to say, I brought the wine."

"But are you ready with your sorghum wine? Don't fool me with the water mixed with it!"

Yang Xiaotao joked, and Fangyuan immediately said to the people behind him, "How is it? I'm not lying to you, this is Director Xiao Yang, a very open-minded person!"

"I drank our wine back then, and in my heart, I have always been from the northwest!"

Everyone behind him was laughing.

Among them were people from the original manufacturing factory who had seen Yang Xiaotao's abilities and heard about Yang Xiaotao's deeds.

But more importantly, I still haven’t seen Yang Xiaotao.

On the contrary, when the factory was built, I met Director Yang, the director of the main factory, a senior official.

He is an upright person and a serious person.

And it is said that the person in front of me is the second highest official of the main factory, higher than Director Yang who came last time.

Everyone thought that he must be a more serious person.

But now I see that this man is younger than I thought.

He doesn't have the airs to be an official yet, but his enthusiasm and forthright energy and words are more in line with the bold taste of their Northwest men.

They like this kind of leader!

"Am I that kind of person?"

Fangyuan pulled her neck and said, while Ma Xiaoling behind her rolled her eyes and smiled.

Yang Xiaotao nodded with a few people.

"Two years, two full years of preparation, you don't know how much we have changed!"

"Everything has changed. Workers have jobs and farmers have hope. These days, like the wheels of a tractor, they keep running forward!"

A few words can express the feelings of those behind you.

"I've been keeping the wine, just waiting for you to come!"

Fangyuan turned around, with tears in his eyes.

Yang Xiaotao patted Fangyuan's arm, "You all earned this by yourself. If you don't live up to your expectations, no one can help you!"

"Moreover!"

"Don't be afraid of late for good wine! Sooner or later you will have it!"

Fang Yuan nodded, "Yes!"

"It will happen sooner or later!"

After Fang Yuan calmed down, she and Director Hong introduced everyone around them to Yang Xiaotao.

"This is Fan Ming, the director of the chemical plant! He just returned to China last year and studied petrochemical engineering in France."

Director Hong introduced.

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward enthusiastically and was surprised when he looked at the elegant middle-aged man in front of him.

It is not easy to study abroad these days, and it is even rarer to be able to come back.

He stepped forward to shake hands, then turned back to Director Hong and said, "Old Hong, you are hiding such a good talent!"

Director Hong smiled and said nothing. Fan Ming's situation was no better than him.

If I really want to go back to Sijiu City, it will be difficult to do anything practical, let alone the factory.

"Mr. Yang, it's great for me here. I can work with the workers every day. It's very fulfilling!"

Fan Ming smiled without much thought in his voice.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, knowing that this was a person with a story, and then didn't ask any more questions.

Then Fan Ming talked about the current situation of the chemical plant and its future development direction.

"Chemical plants, yes. In the future, there will be more and more machinery in the land of the northwest. You have to refine more oil. Don't be afraid of falling. Humans, just learn to walk like a child and don't fall twice. How can you run?"

"Other products in the chemical industry must also be developed and utilized."

"These things that we think are waste, as long as we find a way, they are still treasures."

"Then asphalt can pave roads."

"When will the northwest vertical and horizontal arterial roads be covered with asphalt roads, then it will be really done!"

"You know these things better than me, so feel free to do it and go ahead and do it. In the northwest, you can achieve great results!"

Fan Ming held Yang Xiaotao's hand and could only nod excitedly, but he had a backbone in his heart and knew that he could walk freely in the future.

"Steelworks, Zheng Dezhi!"

"Hello, Mr. Yang!"

"Okay, steel matters are related to the success or failure of the industry. I won't say any more. What you have to do is to make more steel and become better steel workers."

"Yes, Mr. Yang can rest assured that our steelmaking plant must be the best steelmaking plant in the northwest, and the workers in our steelmaking plant must be the best steel workers."

"it is good."

Yang Xiaotao met everyone one by one, and then walked to the factory with Director Hong.

Behind him, Yang Zhi will bring gifts. Two guards beside Director Hong, and the three of them follow Yang Xiaotao.

Tang Mingyue looked at Yang Xiaotao being surrounded by everyone, and thought of the time when she followed the leader on a business trip to inspect.

It seems to be very similar to the scene in front of me.

Later, accompanied by everyone, Yang Xiaotao came to the workshop and met Li Nan and others.

They all come from the main factory, so Yang Xiaotao is naturally familiar with them.

We met one by one and asked about how it was working here, whether there were any difficulties, whether I missed home, and what to do.

Everyone answered with a smile, but their hearts felt warm.

Then Yang Xiaotao came to Yan Jiefang and his group and looked at the people in the courtyard, feeling very satisfied.

A group of little guys, the childishness on their faces has faded, replaced by a hint of worker maturity.

"I heard that you have made great progress. In the entire factory, your workshop has the highest output, the highest efficiency, and the best quality!"

Yan Jiefang looked back at everyone, everyone smiled and nodded.

This honor has always been their pride.

"You did a good job, and you didn't embarrass our hospital." Yang Xiaotao came to Yan Jiefang, looked at the changed Yan Jiefang, and nodded heavily, "You did a good job!"

"Brother Tao!"

Yan Jiefang's eyes were red, but he could no longer speak.

Yang Xiaotao patted his shoulder and said, "Do a good job!"

"There's nothing going on in the courtyard. Write more letters to your parents. As we get older, sometimes we just look away!"

"Yes, I understand!"

Yang Xiaotao took two more steps and looked at the people in the courtyard, "Er Niu has grown again, right?"

"Hey, Brother Tao, you've grown a bit!"

"Have you eaten enough? I remember that in the courtyard, you always told the old man that you were hungry."

Erniu immediately shed tears after hearing this, "I'm full, I'm full."

"Brother Tao, is my father okay?"

"Okay, that's good. You can hand over the twenty yuan every month. The family will have good food and your younger brothers and sisters will start going to school."

"It's just that the old man hopes that you will find a partner quickly. It can be a local one, you don't have to go to Sijiu City."

"You've told me this several times, you need to hurry up!"

After hearing this, Er Niu felt a little unnatural on his face, and a group of people around him immediately burst into laughter.

Yang Xiaotao met with others again, and then came to the side and said, "When I go back this time, be ready to bring whatever you want."

"Write letters when it's time to write, and prepare things when it's time to prepare!"

"Of course, don't bring anything big, I can't carry it here."

Hahaha

"besides!"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly stopped smiling and looked at everyone.

"You guys make me so proud!"

After saying this sentence, Yan Jiefang burst into tears.

More people shed tears.

They used to live in the courtyard, talking about nothing, and they didn't know where they would be in the future.

But now, they have found a way, a way to realize value.

"Brother Tao, we will make you proud!"

Bang bang bang bang
Director Hong took the lead in applauding, and there was a loud sound in the workshop.

Behind the crowd, Liu Haizhong had a bitter taste in his mouth, looking at the young man in front of him who was scolding Fang Qiu, trying to get rid of the image of the poor boy in the courtyard in his mind.

Hedong in thirty years and Hexi in thirty years.

It's been less than ten years, and the person in front of him has already become someone he looks up to.

Even his name was forgotten.

At this moment, all the revenge, jealousy, and official addiction disappeared.

It wasn't until Yang Xiaotao and others left the workshop that Liu Haizhong came back to his senses.

He looked at his sluggish stomach and his hair that was starting to fall out.

At this moment, he finally realized that he was old.

No matter how great your ambitions are, they cannot withstand the erosion of time.

What's more, he just has the will and is powerless.

Dejected, he moved his steps.

The shouts of Yan Jiefang and others came to my ears. They wanted to go back and write letters, report that they were safe at home, and bring something with them.

After shouting, Liu Haizhong suddenly stood on the spot.

Where is his family?
Where is his son?
Where is his home?
At this moment, Liu Haizhong thought of his former home and his eldest son who had worked so hard to cultivate him, but now he had left him.

The remaining two sons, because they were beaten too hard and controlled too strictly, were on the wrong team, and now they have distanced themselves from him and do not take him seriously.

My wife of many years...

Failure, desolation.

My eyes suddenly became blurry in my bangs.

What came to mind was the scene of the three uncles holding a courtyard-wide meeting in the courtyard.

At that time, although the three of them had their own thoughts, they were among the best in the courtyard.

Life, work, everything goes smoothly.

"I don't know how they are doing!"

"Well, this guy Yan Laochao should be good, after all, he is the only uncle left!"

"As for Lao Yi, haha!"

Liu Haizhong walked out with the crowd, thinking about the beginning of all changes.

"Since when?"

I kept recalling it in my mind, and finally settled on that cold winter.

That day, there was a happy event in the courtyard.

That day, a young man with a bruised nose and face walked out of the room, faced the eyes of everyone in the hospital, stood on the opposite side of them, and made his voice heard.

At that moment, the tiger roared and all the beasts were frightened.

"It was us who forced him, no, forced ourselves to take this path step by step!"

At noon, Yang Xiaotao and Director Hong sat together, talking and laughing.

Fangyuan didn't lie. The sorghum red that had been hidden for two years was turbid in the bowl, but it had a strong smell of alcohol.

Compared with the local wine brought by Yang Xiaotao, it was more than one level better.

Lunch is also sumptuous.

For this meal, Fangyuan directly asked the chef to prepare a pot of mutton soup, then some pickles, and the staple food was baked multi-grain pancakes.

A dozen people sat together, talking about the situation in the factory, eating and drinking.

Among everyone, except Director Hong and Fangyuan who knew about Yang Xiaotao's drinking capacity, no one else knew.

Therefore, when everyone started drinking, Yang Xiaotao would kill them boldly.

This attitude is very suitable for the taste of their Northwest men.

As a result, I didn’t drink much mutton soup, and seven or eight people had already fallen on the table.

In the end, several factory directors realized that something was not going well and drank less to avoid being embarrassed.

Even so, everyone was even more convinced when they saw Yang Xiaotao still chatting and laughing with Director Hong.
