Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 1730: The Mass Wedding of Factory

When Yang Xiaotao walked out of the workshop, he saw Liu Huaimin and others coming down from the office building and walking towards the convoy.

At the front of the motorcade, Tony Yang stood aside, smiling.

I haven't seen him for more than a month and he has become thinner.

But in good spirits.

Seeing a few people, he walked forward quickly.

"Old Yang, why did you come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Liu Huaimin stepped forward and the two of them hugged each other and patted each other on the back.

Yang Xiaotao came over, looked at the two of them, and smiled at Chen Gong who had just come out, "Ah, this is true love."

"I've been away for three months, and when I come back I'll just shake hands."

Chen Gong immediately responded, "That's right, Director Yang only has eyes for Secretary Liu."

"you do not say!"

The two sang in unison, and Tony Yang and Liu Huaimin laughed out loud. Tony Yang then put his arm around Liu Huaimin's shoulders and smiled at them, "This is called our firm revolutionary friendship. You should envy me, right?"

Then he looked at Yang Xiaotao, "And you, kid, every time you come back you always go home to find your wife first, how dare you say that."

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes and said, "I am a good family man."

After saying that, he walked forward and the two hugged each other.

"Welcome back, Lao Yang."

"Thank you!"

Tony Yang nodded, looking excited.

Then Chen Gong also stepped forward and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"No, I just arrived. I don't have time."

"I want someone to prepare a table?"

"It has to be prepared and let the comrades eat it, but I won't eat it."

Tony Yang said this, then turned around and picked up a little boy wearing a five-pointed star hat from the car.

He looks to be only four or five years old, a little younger and shorter than Duanwu.

Being held in Tony Yang's arms, he held his arms tightly with both hands. When he saw the people around him, there was some fear on his face.

Seeing this scene, everyone understood.

Tony Yang smiled and said, "Mingming, call me uncle."

The little boy looked around with wide eyes, then carefully called "Uncle".

Liu Huaimin and others agreed with a smile.

Yang Xiaotao took out two candies from his pocket and said, "Mingming, come here, uncle will give you some candies."

Then he handed the candy to the little boy.

Unfortunately, the tactics that had always worked for me in the past no longer worked here.

The little boy still hid in Tony Yang's arms and didn't even look at Yang Xiaotao.

"The little guy is scared."

"I'll send it back first. Tonight, you guys, call Lao Xu and go to my house for a drink."

"Just think of it as a welcome for me."

After saying this, Tony Yang got into the car with the child in his arms, waved goodbye, and walked home.

After the car left, several people didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Old Yang, it's not easy."

Chen Gong suddenly sighed beside him.

He is about the same age as Tony Yang and Liu Huaimin.

But as for children, he has two boys and two girls.

Liu Huaimin also had a son and two daughters.

Only Tony Yang has three daughters in his family, and the youngest daughter has also started working.

This child was brought back obviously for old-age care.

And when the three of them thought about who was sent to the disaster area, they wondered why Tony Yang was so enthusiastic.

"Old Yang has only three daughters, and he used to focus on his nephew."

"Yang Weimin?"

Yang Xiaotao asked, and Chen Gong nodded, "Later, this nephew was also a troublesome person. After a few incidents, Old Yang gave up."

“It’s okay this time!”

Liu Huaimin was also happy for his old brother, "Let's all go tonight. Call Lao Xu and Lao Sun, and let's all go."

Chen Gong nodded, while Yang Xiaotao was thinking, "It's just that this child is a little young. It will take at least ten years to raise him up."

Then he saw Liu Huaimin and Chen Gong looking at him together.

"No, what do you two mean?"

Chen Gong walked up and patted Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder, "In the future, as an uncle, you have to help me well."

Liu Huaimin also looked the same.

In an instant, Yang Xiaotao understood!

As the people who returned were settled, information about the situation in the disaster-stricken areas in the south was also brought back.

Yang Xiaotao also learned some things about the disaster area.

After a month of consecutive earthquakes, the damage in the area around Shunde is very serious.

The superiors relocated a large number of people from the disaster area and placed them in surrounding towns and villages.

During this period, relief supplies arrived one after another, the situation in the disaster area gradually improved, and rescue teams began to leave one after another.

As for local reconstruction work, local people are still needed.

However, with the support of the whole country, the re-entry work will proceed smoothly.

When talking about the situation in the disaster area, Yang Xiaotao was still deeply shocked.

Although the specific figures have not been released, it can be seen from the disaster situation in Shicheng that Shunde’s losses are just as great.

The factory gave half a day off to those who returned so they could go home and reunite with their families.

It happens that tomorrow is the weekend and May Day, so I can continue to rest at home.

After get off work, Yang Xiaotao and Chen Gong made an appointment to go to Yang Youning's house together. Since they had agreed to it, they had to go.

But he had to go home first. When Ran Qiuye brought the child back, he had to tell his family.

The car drove to the entrance of the alley, but before entering the gate, we saw Yan Fugui standing in front of the door with wedding characters pasted on both sides.

I was thinking to myself, I shouldn’t put up wedding signs on Labor Day.

In this case, it will only be posted when someone in the courtyard is getting married.

Yang Xiaotao came up carrying lamb legs and pork. Yan Fugui happened to see Yang Xiaotao and his happy look made Yang Xiaotao realize immediately that it must be a happy event for the Yan family.

"Xiao Tao, you're back."

Yan Fugui looked at Yang Xiaotao and immediately greeted him enthusiastically. Then his eyes fell on the lamb legs and pork in Yang Xiaotao's hands, and his Adam's apple moved unconsciously.

"Uncle Yan, is there a happy event in the family?"

Yan Fugui nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, there is a happy event in the family, a big happy event."

"Xiao Tao, to be honest, this matter is all thanks to your help."

Yang Xiaotao frowned. He didn't remember what help he had given.

In terms of attitude towards the Yan family, although the relationship has eased over the years, it is still a normal interaction, just like other people in the courtyard. At most, because the other party is the master of the courtyard, he will say a few more words on weekdays.

But when it comes to happy events, at least regarding Yan Jiecheng's affairs, he is too lazy to care.

Otherwise, even though Yan Fugui had mentioned several times in a vague way that he could help solve work problems, he would have been too lazy to respond.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's lack of interest, Yan Fugui quickly explained, "My second son, Jiefang, received a letter this morning saying that the wedding will be held tomorrow."

"The girl also went to Sijiu City."

"I'm thinking that even though I can't come back, the family still needs to be there."

"We quickly found someone to cut out the words and paste them up. It can be considered a festive occasion."

Yan Fugui was so happy that his mouth was almost limp, but fortunately he only spoke the key points.

Yang Xiaotao was also surprised to hear that Yan Jiefang got married in the northwest.

He didn't even know about this kind of thing.

Then I felt relieved again.

It's normal not to know about this kind of thing.

I'm not someone's nanny, and they don't have to report their marriage to me.

However, it was unexpected that the woman also went from the old city.

The workers sent by the machinery factory to the second branch are all men, and the other party is from the old city, so there is only one possibility.

Yang Xiaotao didn't say much, just congratulated him a few words and prepared to go into the house.

Yan Fugui reacted and trotted after him, "Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao, I haven't finished talking yet."

"You say."

"It's like this. As parents, we can't hinder him in getting married. We can't lack the necessary ceremonies."

"I'm thinking of setting up two tables in the yard tomorrow at noon. You'd better come and show your favor."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao subconsciously refused.

As the saying goes, it is easy to change the country but difficult to change one’s nature.

Yan Fugui has been "monopolizing power" in the hospital in the past two years and has done a lot of scheming.

Fortunately, he knew who not to offend in this courtyard, so he didn't plan to offend him.

And setting up the banquet this time and inviting him to attend was definitely a well-planned plan.

Set up two tables and then collect membership fees.

This was something that a few bastards in the yard used to do frequently in the past.

But this time it’s the Yan family’s turn.

But considering that this was for Yan Jiefang, and that Yan Jiefang was different from the Yan family, not only was he close to him, but he was also a worker in the machinery factory and now he had outstanding performance and became the deputy director of the workshop, it was reasonable for him to attend.

"Okay, I'll definitely come if nothing goes wrong."

"If something happens, I won't be there in person, but I will definitely be there with my courtesy."

Yan Fugui immediately laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if it's polite or not, as long as you can come."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and walked towards the courtyard carrying the lamb leg.

Yan Fugui immediately ran into the house. As soon as he entered the house, Auntie asked, "How is it? Is it done?"

Yan Fugui smiled and nodded, "It must be done."

"He really agreed?"

"Of course I can help you. I'll do it."

The third aunt also became energetic, and Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi were also jumping up and down in the room. They only knew that the second brother was getting married, and there would be a feast at home with delicious food.

"Then we have to think carefully about how many people will come and how many tables should be set up."

"We still have to figure out how much meat and vegetables to buy, as well as alcohol and cigarettes."

The three aunts immediately started complaining on the spot, and Yan Fugui also became solemn. After all, they had to pay for all the money themselves.

But thinking of the people in the hospital and Yang Xiaotao, he will definitely be generous and will be able to make up the money spent.

So Yan Fugui gritted his teeth and increased the original amount by 30%.

"Old Yan, do you think Jiefang will come back?"

The third aunt suddenly spoke, Yan Fugui was stunned, and then he had to face the facts.

"I will come back to see you."

Yan Fugui said this seriously, but he just thought he was coming back to visit relatives.

They all knew that their second son had taken root in the northwest.

"After paying for the expenses, give all the money from this donation to him."

"The details must also be handed over."

Yan Fugui suddenly said this in a decisive tone, and the third aunt nodded vigorously after hearing this.

In the remote northwest, this money is more useful.

Northwest Second Branch.

At this moment, the sun is shining brightly.

The new factory director Li Chengjun is leading his team to inspect the factory.

Ever since he came to Northwest Factory No. 2, the feeling he got here was freedom.

Even though the environment is a bit harsh, with frequent winds and sand, and you can shower when you're hot during the day but you don't dare go out to pee at night because it's too cold, there isn't so much intrigue here, and people feel comfortable from the inside out.

And here, you can do practical things.

Today, the Second Factory has become the leader of the industry in the northwest, driving the development of the surrounding machinery industry.

It’s Wang Huzi, who comes here every few days and is very happy to see the machinery factory changing every day.

Now, he is more and more satisfied with his original decision.

Coming here is the right thing to do.

"He, Director He, you are busy!"

Li Chengjun happened to be walking outside the Sports Secretary's Office when he saw President He and two other men carrying a basket filled with sandbags. He quickly ran up to greet them.

"Hey, Director Li, have you eaten yet?"

President He laughed, and Li Chengjun quickly stepped forward to take out a cigarette and light it up, "I haven't eaten yet, why don't I check it out."

"Well, you are so dedicated to your work, it's a waste of your talent to be a factory manager."

"Don't say that, old man. I'm very satisfied to be here."

Li Chengjun said this sincerely, and then asked, "What are you busy with?"

"The factory is holding a group wedding tomorrow. I have designed a few small games to be played on site to liven up the atmosphere."

"For us, this is also a new type of wedding."

President He said excitedly that with the help of him, the director of physical training, the sports business of the second branch is booming.

Of course, he also had a thought in mind, which was to get the entire machinery factory involved and organize a competition.
Li Chengjun didn't know what Mr. He was thinking, but he very much agreed with tomorrow's group wedding.

This is also the first collective activity since he took office.

"I'll go with you!"

"Okay, okay, as the factory director, you must strongly support sports."

"sure."

"Oh, right. Where's Lao Hong?"

"He went to prepare gifts for the newlyweds."
