Chapter 1411 Dare to act boldly
Yang Xiaotao broke the pancake and put it in a bowl. Director Hong handed over two red chili peppers. Yang Xiaotao took them with a smile.

"I've been coming here for a long time. When I eat, I just want to take a few bites to whet my appetite."

Director Hong said, Yang Xiaotao took a bite, it was spicy.

"When I get back, I'll prepare a big can of chili for you the next time someone comes over."

"Okay, I want the beef sauce kind!"

Director Hong is not polite at all, and Yang Xiaotao likes it that way.

If you talk in a roundabout way, then you should go to Lao Yang, he is not used to it anyway.

"Sister Zhang didn't send you a letter?"

"Here you go, one letter a month. The stamps are worth a lot of money."

Director Hong smiled and was very satisfied with the life of his wife and daughter.

Especially in Yangjiazhuang, there is nothing to worry about. During the day, there are old people in the village helping to look after the children. I can be a teacher with peace of mind, and go home to play with him at night. My life is simple and fulfilling.

"When the children grow up, we will take them over. We will also set up a school here."

"We can't always rely on others to provide us with this talent. We have to cultivate it ourselves!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Qiuye has experience in reporting to school. Let her advise you when the time comes."

"That's great!"

The two talked for a while, and after Yang Xiaotao finished eating, he followed Director Hong to the office.

"The phone is there, I won't go in!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled, then picked up the phone and started dialing.

Nowadays, this kind of long-distance calls are all through special channels in China, with special operators responsible for them. Therefore, these dedicated lines are rarely used unless there is something important.

The phone in the Second Branch is more convenient for local contact, but for long distance, there is also a long distance line set up in the 49th City Main Plant.

Therefore, it is impossible for Yang Xiaotao to directly connect Yangjiazhuang's phone here.

After dialing the phone and waiting for seven or eight minutes, the voice finally came.

"Hello, who is it?"

The sound from the microphone was a little distorted, but it still felt familiar.

"Is it Comrade Yang Youning?"

"Yes, who are you?"

"I'm from the inspection team of the machinery factory, and I'm going to deal with your violation of regulations and disciplines now..."

"Yang Xiaotao, you bastard, say it again?"

"Ha ha ha ha"

Yang Xiaotao smiled, and Yang Youning's laughter came from the opposite side.

"Lao Yang, are you okay?"

The sound stopped and Yang Xiaotao asked.

"No, I'm very bad. You ran away alone and left me with the mess. You even called me to scare me..."

Yang Xiaotao listened quietly to Yang Youning's roar on the phone for three minutes, and then heard at the end, "When will you be back?"

"The flight will be in the afternoon, I guess I'll arrive tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, I'll have someone pick you up at the airport."

"No, I have a mission, I can just go back by myself."

After a moment of silence, Yang Youning's voice came again, "Come back well."

"know."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao left the office and came to Director Hong.

There were two young men standing not far away.

Director Hong called the two over, and Yang Xiaotao found out that they were the sons of Director Hong.

Both of them are young, and Director Hong is taking care of them and teaching them at the same time.

When they met Yang Xiaotao, the two of them were very reserved. After a brief meeting, they were sent away by Director Hong without saying a few words.

Then the two of them came outside, smoking cigarettes and talking quietly.

"Lao Hong, I told you last time about the Third Special Protection Division. How are you doing?"

Director Hong took a puff of cigarette and nodded in agreement, "It has been formed. They are all factory workers, comrades with good character, character and style."

"This power is not small. I don't dare to find too many people."

"That's good!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded. He was the one he agreed to at the beginning, and this was the safe house he had chosen.

"Is the situation serious?"

Director Hong is not a political idiot. He just doesn't want to do some things, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know them clearly.

"Well, things are not going well."

"There are some things that I feel are abnormal, but I want to change them, but I don't have the ability, so I can only prepare for a rainy day."

Yang Xiaotao didn't say it clearly. After all, it will start next year, and now it is just the accompaniment before the storm.

"I understand!"

Director Hong lowered his head and looked at the ground beneath his feet, "No matter what, building this place well is good for the country!"

"Yes!" Yang Xiaotao nodded, "That's why we can't let anyone destroy this place!"

"As long as it's correct, worthy of the country, and worthy of the revolution, let me do it."

"I am different from you."

Director Hong suddenly threw the cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with the sole of his shoe, and stepped hard into the soil.

"Back then, when they punished me, I was never afraid."

"As long as I dare to do it, I dare to admit it. As long as I know it, I dare to say it."

"I didn't do it. You asked me to fake it. Don't even think about it."

Director Hong spoke firmly, but the meaning behind his words was to inspire Yang Xiaotao.

a.

Yang Xiaotao nodded seriously after hearing this, and was also talking about it.

On the other side, after Yang Youning from the machinery factory hung up the phone, he came to Liu Huaimin's office and sat happily on a chair nearby. Then he reached out and took out the cigarette case covered under the documents, and lit one.

"I said you go outside to smoke, it's an eyesore here."

I only have a few cigarettes in total, and this guy comes to snatch them away.

I don’t know if my head hurts from being so busy these days. How can I rely on these to support me?

Yang Youning didn't say anything after hearing this. He crossed his legs and still smoked, but with a smile on his face.

Liu Huaimin looked wrong when he saw this.

What happened in the workshop last night is still fresh in my mind. How long has it been since then and it seems like a different person?

If you fail to complete the task, Mr. Xia can't explain it to you.

"Hey, that guy is finally coming back."

Just when Liu Huaimin's brows were about to come together, Yang Youning finally spoke.

Afterwards, Liu Huaimin was stunned for a while, and then...
The two people sat together, each lighting a cigarette. Soon the office was filled with smoke, and the sound of pleasant conversation spread through the smoke into the corridor. Lou Xiao'e is helping Liu Lixue organize her speech.

Since the Machinery Factory started the big study, the requirements for learning content have been constantly increasing. Especially recently, Secretary Liu heard from nowhere that he was going to carry out some kind of 'acura' and asked the Publicity Department to produce two more good-sounding songs.

This was very difficult for the publicity director, and he had a lot of gray hair.

Liu Lixue, as an important member of the Publicity Department, even sang a song "Send a Little Red Flower" during the epidemic in the machinery factory, which entered the eyes of workers. To this day, this song is still in hospitals, shops, squares, etc. Play it in public places.

You can even hear it on the radio.

For such an excellent person, this task falls on her.

It’s just that she only sings, not writes songs.

Isn't this difficult for her?
"It would be great if Mr. Yang came back. He must have many songs."

Liu Lixue bit her pencil end with a sad look on her face.

Lou Xiao'e on the side agreed after hearing this. Others dare not say that at least Yang Xiaotao has this ability. It's just that this guy is lazy in this regard, so it's hard to say whether he can help.

"Yeah, this guy ran off alone and left a mess for us to clean up."

"When we come back, we must let him sing three songs for us, no, ten songs, to make it up to us."

"By the way, I also want to treat you to dinner, and I want him to cook it himself."

Lou Xiao'e was frightened when she thought that Yang Youning didn't understand and asked her to collect this information and check that document every time.

I never had these worries when I was with Yang Xiaotao.

Thinking of this, she put her legs on Liu Lixue's legs.

"Don't do it."

Liu Lixue felt something heavy on her thighs and quickly looked around.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the Publicity Department at this time, and some were busy organizing promotional materials and preparing slogans for the next round.

So no one noticed their movements.

"There's a movie tonight called "Express". I heard it's very good."

"By the way, there is also something said by a great man in it, 'As long as there are people, all miracles in the world can be created.' These are very good materials. Do you want to study them?"

Lou Xiao'e stared at Liu Lixue.

Liu Lixue turned her head away and didn't look. In the past, she could cure this guy, but as the relationship deepened, now the offensive and defensive momentum was different, and it was her turn to hide.

"Sister Xiao'e, I have good news for you."

Just when Liu Lixue was about to agree, there was a knock on the door, and then Xiaoqiang ran in. Liu Lixue immediately put her legs away, and Lou Xiao'e's legs fell to the ground.

"Xiaoqiang, what good news do you have?"

As he spoke, he stood in front of Liu Lixue, like an old cow protecting its calf.

Xiaoqiang chuckled, glanced at Liu Lixue, who had half of her body exposed, and then said, "I heard from the factory director that Mr. Yang will be back tomorrow."

"what?"

Lou Xiao'e exclaimed, and then got up, "It's broken, I still have a lot of reports to finish."

After saying that, he ran out of the Publicity Department.

When Xiaoqiang saw Lou Xiao'e leaving, he still looked at Liu Lixue.

"Well, Director Liu, do you have any ideas for the song?"

"I, I have, a song, do you want to listen to it?"

Xiaoqiang stammered, and although Liu Lixue was a little resistant in her heart, she still nodded calmly, "Okay, you can sing a few lines and listen."

"Hey, good."

Xiaoqiang knew that his opportunity had come, so he quickly cleared his throat, coughed twice, and then started singing.

"My family has a piece of land, which is yellow land. I get up and work every day to build for the revolution."

After hearing the first few lines, Liu Lixue stopped her voice and shouted, "Comrade Xiaoqiang, this song is good, but it doesn't meet my requirements."

"Thank you."

When Xiaoqiang heard this, he became even more energetic, "Director Liu, if this song doesn't work, I have another one, please listen to it again."

"My home in the far northeast."

The person who responded was still Liu Lixue's calm face, but there was a feeling of hopelessness in her heart.

'When will this great study begin? '

Northwest Second Machinery Factory.

Time was limited. The two talked for a while, and it was past two o'clock. Yang Xiaotao had to get in the car and rush to the airport.

With a thick stack of letters and blessings from a group of people, Yang Xiaotao sat in the car and waved goodbye to a group of people at the door.

"Looks like you're quite good at drinking!"

In the jeep, Yang Xiaotao and Tang Mingyue were sitting in the back seat, with Monkey driving and Yang Zhi on guard.

Tang Mingyue smelled the alcohol smell on Yang Xiaotao, but he was just a little drunk, so she couldn't help but ask.

"It's just normal. If you drink any more, you'll have to get down!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled. The improvement of his physique allowed him to drink more, but it was not unlimited.

Hearing this, Tang Mingyue took a look, then lowered her head and asked softly, "You didn't drink much that night!"

Yang Xiaotao's face was instantly embarrassed, but he did not answer the question.

The two suddenly fell silent.

It wasn't until the jeep drove into the airport that Yang Xiaotao suddenly figured it out.

What Director Hong said today, although ordinary, represented his persistence.

It also strengthened his inner thoughts.

He has done something sorry for Ran Qiuye and made a mistake, so he must admit it.

He didn't want to have an extra layer of estrangement in his heart when facing Ran Qiuye in the days to come.

I don’t even want to live with the guilt.

Instead of doing this, it is better to tell the truth.

Put everything out there.

As for the consequences, could they be more serious than a divorced couple?
Of course, Tang Mingyue was also a victim in this matter, and her thoughts should also be considered.

"I made a decision."

Yang Xiaotao suddenly spoke and then expressed his thoughts.

Tang Mingyue's face suddenly turned pale, and she felt a little uneasy.

But when I saw that Yang Xiaotao was not joking, when I thought about it carefully, I realized that this matter might be hidden for a lifetime, but it would be a lifelong shackles.

Whether Yang Xiaotao faces Ran Qiuye or she faces Ran Qiuye, it will never be possible to go back to the past.

Even if you say it, it may be difficult to go back.

But rather than lying or cheating, talking and explaining gives each other one more chance to communicate.

She didn't pray that Ran Qiuye could forgive her, she just hoped that she could listen to what she said.

"Okay. But, I need to tell my eldest sister first."

Yang Xiaotao glanced at Tang Mingyue, thinking of his eldest sister and the chief, and then nodded silently.

"can!"
