Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1414: The merits are offset by the faults
The next morning, the plane arrived over Sijiucheng.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the dark sky below, his face a little nervous.

The last time he went to the Northwest, he almost had an accident on a plane, which left him feeling a little shadowy.

If he had not needed to come back as soon as possible this time, he promised, he would not have dared to fly.

"Everyone, please stay seated and don't move around."

"We're landing now, get ready."

As the pilot shouted, everyone grabbed the handle on the plane again.

Airport, waiting area.

A group of people were watching the plane getting closer and closer in the sky with expectant expressions.

"It fell."

A cry rang out, and many people clasped their fingers together.

呲~~~
The contact between the tire belt and the ground made a harsh sound. Yang Xiaotao and others only felt their bodies bumping up and down, and then they felt that the plane was slowing down.

"We've landed. It's finally safe."

This is what Yang Xiaotao is saying.

When the plane arrived at the waiting area under the control of the pilot, Yang Xiaotao and others had already seen through the window the people greeting them below.

The person in charge was the uncle whom Yang Xiaotao recognized.

For a moment, joy surged into my heart.

The plane stopped, the ladder approached, and the door opened.

Yang Xiaotao stood up first and walked to the cabin door, followed closely by Tang Mingyue, Yang Zhi and others.

Then he looked at the people below, without waving or shouting, he ran straight down the ladder and came to the people.

"Chief!"

Yang Xiaotao said with excitement, "The mission is completed, we are back."

Uncle Deng looked at Yang Xiaotao with relief, "It'll be good to come back. Thank you for your hard work."

Tang Mingyue also stepped forward, "Chief, thank you for coming to pick us up."

"That's what we should be doing."

Later, Uncle Deng met with other people, especially Yang Zhi, who had given them the mission in the first place.

Unexpectedly, the planned things did not happen, but there were many unplanned things, and an elite was lost for this reason.

Fortunately, the mission was accomplished, worthy of the martyrs who died.

Everyone met and chatted for a while, and then everything on the plane was moved down. Except for the model, it was in a car alone, escorted by Yang Zhi and others, and the remaining books were also placed in the car.

"Come on, get in the car, let's go back and talk."

Uncle Deng called everyone to get in the car. Yang Xiaotao and Uncle Deng sat in the same car. Tang Mingyue got into one alone. However, when getting on the car, Tang Mingyue glanced at Yang Xiaotao. For a moment, the two of them looked at each other. Decided.

Cut the mess with a sharp knife.

In the car.

"I didn't expect it to be so twists and turns when I went out this time."

Uncle Deng smiled, then took out a box of red pandas, took one out and handed it to Yang Xiaotao, "Tell me, it was hit along the way."

Yang Xiaotao quickly took out a lighter and lit it for him before lighting it himself.

"Don't tell me, if this journey were written down, it would become a travelogue."

"When we first went abroad, we entered the country of Kazakhstan. Who knew we were targeted there, and then we moved to a manor on the outskirts of the city."

As Yang Xiaotao explained the situation in detail, it was much more vivid than just reading the words in the report.

"You found a lot of books?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately, "Yes, it is said that this was collected from the other party's grandfather when he attacked Germany. It is a pity that the old man regarded these things as witnesses of honor and blinded the knowledge inside."

"If it had been discovered earlier, it would have provided a lot of help to the technology at the time."

Yang Xiaotao said with a little pity, but Uncle Deng shook his head, "You can't say that."

"The alliance reaped a lot of benefits back then. Otherwise, could technology have gone from being a second-rate country to being super first-rate now?"

"This is the essence gathered after plundering Europa. Maybe they have something better, and they don't like these leftovers."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao thought that it was really possible.

Otherwise, a small soldier can bring back so many books?
"No matter what, it's an advantage for us now."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and then told him about the machine tool.

Uncle Deng was surprised again, "If this machine tool can be produced, it will be of great help to the country."

"Especially for manufacturing various machines, airplanes, ships, etc., it can be used."

"Yes, as long as the accuracy improves, the things we make will get better and better."

As the two of them talked, the car turned into a compound. Yang Xiaotao looked around and saw that it was not a place he was familiar with.

"Come here, let's get off the bus."

Uncle Deng spoke, then opened the car door and got out, and Yang Xiaotao quickly followed.

"This is the Sixth Machinery Department?"

Uncle Deng nodded, "Yes, the model will be sent here."

While talking, a thick-bodied old man walked over quickly from the two-story building, smiling from afar.

"Leader, could you please come and make a trip in person? Our Sixth Machinery Department is in full bloom."

"This is Comrade Yang Xiaotao. He is young and promising, but he is not bad."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the person who came with a rigid and serious face, but managed to squeeze out a smile. It seemed a bit inappropriate no matter how he looked at it.

"Okay, I don't know you yet?"

"Xiao Tao, this is Lao Zhou from the Sixth Machinery Department."

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward quickly and said, "Good leader."

"well."

Lao Zhou smiled, then stretched out his hand and held it firmly, "Welcome to the Sixth Machinery Department. When you are free in the future, be sure to come and visit often. We should move around more."

"Okay, no problem, just don't find it annoying when the time comes."

"Definitely not. You are always welcome here."

The two let go, and Mr. Zhou introduced several key personnel behind him, and then looked aside.

Uncle Deng waved to the back, and then he saw two people carrying a wooden box to the front and putting it down carefully.

"This, this is it?"

"Yes, this is the model brought back from the desert."

"Cover the bag with the softest clothes along the way, for fear of getting damaged."

As Yang Xiaotao said, Mr. Zhou eagerly stepped forward and looked around the wooden box again and again, and finally asked someone to lift it up and send it up.

Looking at the precious looks of the people around him, those who didn't know it thought they were just pretending to be gold.

Of course, in the eyes of these people, this is much more expensive than gold.

"Come on, let's go up and sit down and have a sip of tea."

Uncle Deng shook his head, "The things have been delivered. If you have any questions, just call me."

"This guy just came back, I'll send him back first."

Mr. Zhou listened but refused, "Boss, if you come to our Sixth Machinery Department and don't come in to take a look, you just stand at the door. What will people think if this spreads out?"

"I definitely think that there is no need for our Sixth Machinery Department to sit."

"This hurts the enthusiasm of comrades."

After Mr. Zhou said this, Uncle Deng could only smile bitterly, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao.

When Yang Xiaotao saw the people around him like this, he nodded and said, "Uncle, earlier or later, it doesn't matter."

"Now that we're here, let's go in and take a look. I haven't dismantled this model yet."

"Yes, Comrade Xiao Yang is right."

Seeing this, Uncle Deng could only obey the majority.

So everyone entered the Sixth Machinery Department under the leadership of Mr. Zhou.

When Yang Xiaotao and the others came out again, the smile on Mr. Zhou's face had not disappeared.

"Leader, Xiaotao, please slow down, I will send you off not far away."

Standing in front of the doorstep, Mr. Zhou said with a smile.

Uncle Deng smiled and nodded, then got in the car.

Yang Xiaotao also laughed and then closed the car door.

Just when the car moved less than ten centimeters, Yang Xiaotao saw Mr. Zhou turn around, run, and disappear from sight.

"I didn't expect this to be a nuclear-powered ship."

"I didn't expect that."

Uncle Deng said happily, then looked at Yang Xiaotao and nodded with satisfaction.

"I didn't expect that this guy turned out to be the USS Enterprise, and it was so detailed. It's comparable to that submarine model."

Uncle Deng patted his thigh and said, "Let's go and tell the chief the good news first."

"Over there, wait for a while, and then go back and spend time with your wife and children in the evening." When Yang Xiaotao heard that he was going to the chief, thinking of Tang Mingyue, his eyes couldn't help but panic.

Although it has been discussed long ago, we should cut through the mess quickly, do not hide anything, and face it directly.

But when you really want to say something, it takes a lot of courage to move your lips.

Uncle Deng was still smiling, thinking that now that the model was ready, the next step was to set up a special team to concentrate on building one.

Yang Xiaotao finally made up his mind at this time.

"Uncle, there is something I want to tell you alone."

Uncle Deng turned around and looked at Yang Xiaotao's anxious expression and the slight panic in his eyes. He frowned and finally nodded.

"Pull over."

The driver and the guard understood, parked at the entrance of an alley, and got out of the car, away from the guard.

"what's up?"

Uncle Deng asked in a caring tone. Yang Xiaotao gritted his teeth and then spoke.

"Uncle, I, I made a mistake."

Uncle Deng frowned and said, "Speak clearly."

"Yes."

Yang Xiaotao clenched his pants with both hands, his palms filled with sweat.

As Yang Xiaotao finished explaining the matter, Uncle Deng's face was very calm.

But this calmness is completely different from the joy just now.

Yang Xiaotao lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

"Why are you telling me?"

The uncle suddenly spoke. Yang Xiaotao raised his head and said firmly, "I, I, I don't know."

"Just wanted to tell you."

After saying that, he lowered his head again.

Uncle Deng's eyes flickered, and finally turned into a sigh.

"You, you."

"Why do you make such a mistake? It's too low-level, too low-level."

"Ugh!"

A sigh, but there is a kind of helplessness that hates iron for not being able to become steel.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"Stop talking. Since you both have decided to confess, you should listen to the chief's wishes on this matter."

Yang Xiaotao nodded. At this moment, he felt that his back was already wet with sweat.

The car started again, but it became silent inside.

When the car stopped and Yang Xiaotao followed Uncle Deng step by step into the West Flower Hall, he felt the eyes from all around, which made him feel particularly uncomfortable.

"Sister, you are still busy."

Uncle Deng came in and saw his eldest sister busy kneading dough, so he quickly came forward to say hello.

Yang Xiaotao followed in. After the eldest sister said a few words to Uncle Deng, she looked at Yang Xiaotao with warning in her eyes.

Obviously, Tang Mingyue has already told the eldest sister about the matter.

Yang Xiaotao felt his face was burning and could only lower his head.

Seeing this, Uncle Deng sighed, "Sister, are they inside?"

The eldest sister nodded, "Is this why you are here too?"

"Well, this kid has to accept punishment when he makes a mistake. I am taking him here to apologize."

After saying that, I heard the door in the study room opened, and a thin figure came out. After seeing the two of them, his face was serious, "You two, come in and talk."

Uncle Deng looked back at Yang Xiaotao, and then walked in.

Yang Xiaotao also quickly followed.

The eldest sister who was kneading the dough looked at Yang Xiaotao, then clapped her hands and followed in.

In the study, Tang Mingyue was sitting with her head lowered. When Yang Xiaotao came in, she raised her head for a moment and her eyes were red.

"sit."

Uncle Deng sat down and Yang Xiaotao stood.

"Xiao Tang told me about this."

"I'm very sad and disappointed."

The plain voice made Yang Xiaotao feel particularly uncomfortable.

The room was even more filled with depression.

It's like the calm before the storm.

And then, it's time to face the violent storm. Whether you break through it or sink to the bottom of the sea depends on your fate.

"Okay, just say a few words and see if you scare the kids."

Just when the oppression was getting heavier and heavier, and she was almost out of breath, the eldest sister finally couldn't stand it anymore.

She saw these two children and loved them in her heart.

"If you ask me, the first responsibility for this matter lies with you two. You didn't think carefully when you chose the task."

"Look what's written on that photo. You two are at least half responsible."

As soon as the eldest sister spoke, the two people sitting in the room moved their buttocks at the same time, looked at each other, and blinked as if they were connected.

"Also, they talked about the matter as soon as they came back. Mr. Yu, this is called recognizing a mistake and correcting it. Who hasn't made a mistake in this life?"

"Even some people, haven't they also talked to each other?"

The two moved their buttocks again.

"Yu Si, why are these two children looking for you? They don't regard you as relatives."

"As for this matter, I have no control over what you do. Here, this matter ends here. No one can say anything wrong."

"As for you."

The eldest sister looked at Yang Xiaotao and snorted coldly, "Go back and talk to Qiuye. As long as she forgives you, this test will be over."

"However, I warn you, if there is another time, no matter what the reason is."

"Sister, don't worry, there will never be a next time."

"It better be this way."

The eldest sister stopped talking, and the two people sitting there were no longer silent.

Uncle Deng even stood up and said, "In this way, the merits are equal to the merits and demerits, but today is special, the merits and demerits are equal to each other. What do you think?"

"Row!"

"Only this one time."

"Just this once."

Yang Xiaotao nodded quickly.

Tang Mingyue on the side also nodded.

It wasn't until he walked out of the West Flower Hall that Yang Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief.

Uncle Deng was walking in front without looking back, but he said, "Go back and explain to your wife that it's time to kneel down. A man must be able to bend and stretch, do you understand?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I know."

"Ugh."

"It's a pity. If you hadn't made any mistakes, you would have received first-class credit this time."

"Still too young."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao's face turned hot.

　I didn’t want to say it at first, but in the next few days, A Tao was really unsure of updating on time, so he had to say it in advance.

　　Yesterday afternoon, my wife was riding a bicycle in the village. She fell to the ground and broke her left femoral neck.

　　After a while of struggling, I finally arrived at the town hospital.

　　In the past two days, A Tao has been accompanying me in the hospital, and what he wrote was all the current codes on his mobile phone.

　　At first it was said that surgery was needed to replace the bones, but the old man did not want surgery, so he could only stay with him in the hospital first, and then do ideological work.

　　I am an only child, so this is my only hope.

　　Especially when I see my mother lying on her side, the pain becomes unbearable even with the slightest movement. As a son, I feel really uncomfortable.

　　Mothers in the past always said, if I can do it for you, I will do it for you.

　　Now my son feels the same way. If I can do it, I will.

　　I stayed with him for two days, and then I found someone, and finally I had a turn for the better.

　　It was said that conservative treatment was possible, but a minor surgery would need to be performed at another hospital, which would be next Monday. Then lie down for a while.

　　Therefore, during this period of time, A Tao could not guarantee to update on time, nor could he guarantee to continue the three chapters.

　　I'd like to say hello to the big guys in advance and hope you'll forgive me.
