Chapter 1650 Going home for the New Year
"Old Jin, please persuade them quickly. The order has already been given. What's wrong with having a meal?"

Near noon, Yang Xiaotao finalized the cooperation between the two parties and prepared to go home with Lao Jin.

But Secretary Ning was unhappy. The people were already there, and if they were not allowed to show hospitality, it would get out that they were not hospitable enough.

"Yes, Mr. Yang, you must stay for this meal!"

"Yes, it's not a waste. I won't embarrass you!"

Everyone came forward to persuade him, and even the newly appointed Director Guo held Yang Xiaotao's hand and tried to keep him.

He felt that as long as they continued their research in the direction Yang Xiaotao mentioned, their factory's air conditioners could be developed for a hundred years!

I admire Yang Xiaotao's abilities even more.

Comrade Lao Jin looked at Yang Xiaotao and also showed a helpless smile.

"Lao Ning, does our relationship really need a meal?"

"Old Jin, our relationship is indeed not necessary, but you have to listen to me this time."

Secretary Ning said very seriously, "Xiao Tao didn't stay last time he came, but this time he must stay and try our food no matter what."

"I can't say it's delicious, but I'll definitely fill you up."

Secretary Ning blocked the door and insisted on keeping the two men.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao had to tell the truth, "Ning, Grandpa Ning, it's not that I don't want to have a drink with everyone here!"

"To be honest, the train is at 12:30 noon, and I still have to go back and pack my things!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard Yang Xiaotao say this.

"Xiao Tao wants to go back home for the New Year. It's already the 26th, so he has to wait until the 28th to get home. This year is also the Little New Year. If he misses today's bus, he has to wait until tomorrow."

"If we delay for another day, we won't be able to celebrate the New Year!"

Lao Jin was also helpless. Secretary Ning and the others looked at each other in confusion.

"Everyone, it's not like we won't meet again."

"After the New Year, we will make air conditioners. I will come back then and have a good drink with everyone!"

Yang Xiaotao said with a smile, and everyone said nothing more after hearing it!

After all, going home is the greatest thing.

"That's fine! Then, you must come to our factory!"

Secretary Ning patted Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder and spoke, his eyes full of satisfaction.

It's hard to find a guy who is capable and can take care of his family.

It's a pity, if Lao Jin had found his grandson earlier, they might have been able to become closer relatives.

"Everyone, see you next year!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and waved, then went out and got into the car, and left with a wave of his arms.

"Director Guo, next, it's yours!"

After the car left the factory and disappeared from sight, Secretary Ning spoke seriously to Director Guo.

"I'll give you the best workers in the place, the most educated people, you must run this R&D department well for me!"

Director Guo nodded, "Secretary, Director, I think that every time I achieve one of the points that General Manager Yang mentioned, it will be a huge progress."

"Okay, it's not shameful for our factory to follow behind the machinery factory."

"It's even less shameful for you to follow someone as capable as Yang Xiaotao!"

"In the future, communicate with them more, ask for advice humbly, and don't show disapproval."

"Yes, don't worry, I know what to do!"

……

"Grandpa, aren't you going back with me?"

Yang Xiaotao asked Lao Jin while sitting in the car.

"No, just go back and look after them."

Lao Jin shook his head. Taking the train back and forth would cost him his life.

I really don’t want to suffer anymore!

"I'll be back after the New Year anyway, so I won't go!"

"Besides, I have something else for you to see right here. We can't just follow their instructions on this cooperation."

There was a shrewd look in Lao Jin's eyes.

His group of old brothers are all very cunning, so he has to be careful.

"I see you want to live in a single-player world!"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly laughed. Old Jin blushed and then laughed again, "Your grandma is really annoying when she nags!"

"But I'm used to hearing this. If I don't hear it for a long time, I won't be able to adapt!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and listened to Lao Jin chattering.

Perhaps, this is the companion in old age.

They are tired of each other, but can't be separated and can't bear to part.

"By the way, don't you want to go and see the car factory?"

"Jiang Dayong called several times."

"I heard they have some new ideas for gasoline engines."

"By the way, the machine tool factory in Jinling, I don't know where you got the news from the last time you went there. I heard that you were there, so I wanted you to go there too."

Lao Jin opened up and kept talking.

Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "Let's talk about that after the New Year."

"Now, I just want to go back, have a good sleep, not think about anything, and then celebrate the New Year and have some fun..."

"Give yourself a break!"

Lao Jin didn't say much after hearing this.

When the car returned to the residence, Aunt Jin Pingping and the eldest and second sisters-in-law were preparing things, some of which were for Yang Xiaotao to use on the road and some for food.

Some are gifts to bring back for family and children.

This saves Yang Xiaotao the trouble of buying gifts!

Yang Xiaotao packed a lot and had a simple meal at home. Then Zhang Kangzhan and Zhang Shengli sent Yang Xiaotao to the train station.

"Brother, Brother, go back!"

Yang Xiaotao, carrying a bag of things, said to Zhang Kangzhan.

Zhang Kangzhan nodded, then walked forward and hugged Yang Xiaotao.

Zhang Shengli also stepped forward.

The three of them hugged each other tightly.

"Thank you, Third Brother!"

"We are a family, it's too formal!"

"gone!"

The three of them let go, and Yang Xiaotao said, "When we get to Sijiu City, I'll treat you!"

"Go back!"

"Wangcai, say hello and leave!"

Woof…

Zhang Kangzhan and his brother looked at Wangcai's appearance and patted the dog's head with a smile.

"gone!"

After saying that, Yang Xiaotao led Wangcai towards the train.

I have to say, there are so many people on the train in front of me!

If Wangcai hadn't had a collar on his neck and Yang Xiaotao had been holding him with a rope, it would have been unclear whether he would be allowed to get on the bus! After much effort, he finally found a seat. As soon as Yang Xiaotao sat down, Wangcai next to him called out twice.

And in the next carriage, two dogs barked.

Instantly, there was a connection.

Yang Xiaotao raised his head and glanced inside. In the hazy crowd, he saw two familiar faces.

Kuchi Kuchi…

The train started slowly, the scenery quickly receded, and finally left the station and headed north.

"Wang Wang!"

Wangcai lay on the ground and barked twice. Not far away was his dog son.

Yang Xiaotao touched his head and said, "It's not convenient now. I'll take you there after the Chinese New Year!"

Woof…

Wangcai was lying in the carriage, looking listless.

Yang Xiaotao looked to the side, then looked away.

He knew that Yu Zecheng was there, but it was not convenient to meet him now.

This is good for both him and myself.

In the other carriage, Yu Zecheng leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, resting.

Xiaobo at the side reminded, "Director, I saw Wangcai, it should be him!"

Yu Zecheng nodded slightly and then stopped talking.

When Xiaobo saw this, he instantly understood what it meant. He reached out to comfort Dalong and Xiaolong and didn't think any more about it.

This time, they can finally go home!
……

Sijiucheng, Siheyuan!
Ran Qiuye and Zhang Qing were tidying up furniture in the yard.

Ran's mother was busy in the kitchen.

At home, Ran's father sat beside her, holding Duanwu and talking to Ms. Cui.

He returned to Beijing after the New Year.

I just returned to the compound yesterday after reporting my work at the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

But after I came back, I heard about so many things that had happened, and I felt mixed emotions.

Especially the incident with my youngest daughter being beaten. I didn’t know about it at the time, but now that I know, I want to beat her up again.

I came to visit my son-in-law's house today. Although Yang Xiaotao was not at home, I made it clear that I was grateful.

"Sister-in-law, when do you think my brother will be back?"

Zhang Qing was washing plates and bowls with warm water and asked Ran Qiuye who was washing cabbage nearby.

"Didn't I tell you? I'll be on the train at noon today and will be back tomorrow night!"

Ran Qiuye answered with a smile, finally feeling relieved.

Yang Xiaotao called back and said that everything was going well and her family was safe, which finally made her feel relieved.

There is no need to hide it from Ms. Cui anymore!

"Really? There are so many people in the factory. If they have to send him, why not just send a director?"

Zhang Qing said gloomily.

I really miss the food cooked by Yang Xiaotao!
During this period, although the food cooked by Ran's mother and Ran Qiuye was edible, it was still inferior to that cooked by Yang Xiaotao.

The guy next door named Shazhu cooks delicious food.

"I think you don't miss your cousin, you want to eat the food he cooks!"

"Why don't you just find a chef to coax you to eat every day!"

Zhang Qing immediately quit after hearing this, "I don't want to do it!"

"That stupid pillar is covered in putty, it smells disgusting, I don't want it!"

"Haha, our little sister wants to get married!"

Ran Qiuye grasped the key point of the words, which made Zhang Qing blush, but he raised his head and said, "I want to find someone who is as capable as my cousin!"

"Haha, then you have to work harder!"

yard.

Qin Huairu was also cleaning up, and the broom in her hand kept sweeping the dust out of the door!
The New Year is coming soon, so it's a good time to move back to the Jia family and clean up the house before the New Year.

Those broken things should be thrown away, washed, put away, and dealt with.

With the help of the hostess, the place finally looks like home.

Although it only took a short time to go in and out, it felt like many years to her.

"Ugh!"

Putting the broom next to the stove, Qin Huairu looked at the familiar furniture and couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking back to the time when she was young, she married into the Jia family.

At that time, a family of three lived in this house.

Although Jia Zhang often ordered her around, nowadays every daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, and it is natural for her to be ordered around by her mother-in-law.

She didn't think there was anything wrong.

Later, Bang Geng was born, and the Jia family had an heir, and her days were filled with joy.

At that time, with the help of Yi Zhonghai, the three uncles in the courtyard, the Jia family lived no worse than a dual-income family.

Later, Xiaodang was born.

Later...

It is the sad memory of Jia family...

The East House is gone, Banggeng is gone, and Jia Zhang is going to be gone too!

Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Qin Huairu silently glanced around the room, then took a deep breath, exhaled suddenly, and smiled.

After years of hard work, the rewards finally came!

Now, the burden on her is gone!
Now, Shazhu helps her support the family!
Now, this Jia family, no, this Qin family, finally belongs to her!

From now on, she will live every day well.

She also wanted to let everyone in the courtyard see that she, Qin Huairu, was a good woman who was thrifty and brought good luck to her husband!
"Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu. Come out quickly!"

Just when Qin Huairu was feeling excited, the three aunts from the Chuihua Gate ran in and started shouting at her.

In the yard, many busy people heard this and immediately turned their eyes to the Jia family.

"Third Aunt, what's going on?"

Qin Huairu pretended to be kind and came to the door and asked.

The third aunt followed the golden mean of not getting close to each other but not offending each other, and said loudly, "Someone from the street office asked you to go over there, saying that they have something to discuss with you."

"Street Office?"

"Yes, hurry up!"

After saying that, the third aunt ran back to the front yard. There was still a lot of things going on at home.

Qin Huairu stood at the door, her face suddenly pale.

When the people around heard this, they immediately guessed that it was about the Jia family's house. There was constant discussion, and some people even had a gloating look on their faces.

Qin Huairu stood at the door, undecided, until Yi Zhonghai came out from the opposite side. The two looked at each other and he nodded to Qin Huairu. Only then did Qin Huairu make up her mind to go out.

It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.

At worst, I can just go back to Yi Zhonghai’s house.

Anyway, that guy is useless, so I won’t suffer any loss!

That’s right, I feel a little uneasy!
