Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1731 Everyone talks about it
Second branch, dormitory.

Director Hong was leading people to check the bridal chambers one by one.

In order to reassure people and for the development of the factory, the machinery factory prepared a house for every newly married couple.

Although it is just the original dormitory building, after a little renovation, the one-bedroom and one-living room layout can temporarily meet the needs of newcomers.

As for what to do if they have children in the future, the machinery factory has already started to build a family area.

Construction will begin this year to build a batch of houses specifically to solve the housing problem.

Anyway, there is a lot of unowned land here. As long as the materials are in place, the machinery factory can decide how many houses to build.

"Each room has a thermos, two cups, two pillowcases and a quilt."

"Count them carefully. There can be no mistakes."

Director Hong stood at the door, looking at the people busy inside and gave instructions again.

The woman inside heard it and replied, "Don't worry, Director, it will be folded neatly and arranged beautifully, just like a bridal chamber!"

Laughter was immediately heard all around, and even Director Hong started laughing.

After visiting several rooms and making sure everything was intact, Director Hong headed towards his office.

When I arrived at the office, I heard bursts of busy sounds in the room.

When Director Hong walked in, he saw his wife and several other women busy preparing big red flowers.

These women are not simple.

Among them are the wife of the factory director, the wife of the sports director, and the local women's director.
It can be said that this group of women is the representative of feminism in this area.

They were the most active in organizing a collective wedding at the machinery factory this time.

What ceremony process, what emcee, what speech and oath
He doesn't need to worry about any of this.

"How did you come?"

Seeing Director Hong come in, Teacher Zhang hurried over to ask.

The other women in the room also looked over.

"I came over to see how the preparations are going!"

"Don't worry, I'll prepare everything well, so go get busy."

Director Hong was kicked out of the office without saying a few words. He stood at the door, looking at his office and shaking his head helplessly.

Don't mess with these women in there.

After leaving the office, Director Hong went to the Human Resources Department to check on the prepared marriage certificate, making sure not to write the wrong name, otherwise it would be a big joke.

At this time, in the workshop, teams of newcomers were rehearsing on the podium under the organization of President He.

"Remember everything. When the time comes, we will come in from this side and stand here."

Mr. He's passionate voice rang out among the twenty-eight couples, with men on the left and women on the right, all listening attentively.

The surrounding workers stood on the periphery to watch the fun.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, many newcomers blushed.

"Stand still, yes."

"And hold hands."

Mr. He held a tin horn in his hand and shouted loudly.

There was immediate laughter all around.

Many newcomers on the stage lowered their heads shyly.

Yan Jiefang and Han Li stood at the front.

Among them, Yan Jiefang, as the deputy director of the workshop and with the highest rank, naturally has to take the lead.

After Mr. He finished speaking, while others were still hesitating, Yan Jiefang grabbed Han Li's hand and held it tightly.

Oooo
Many people around saw it, and immediately there were sounds of ghosts howling.

After hearing this, Yan Jiefang raised both of their hands high, regardless of the fact that Han Li was lowering her head.

As if announcing that this was his person.

President He saw this from the side and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

A real man should like something if it's what he wants. There's no point in being hesitant and fussy.

We're going to enter the bridal chamber tomorrow, but I don't dare to hold hands right now.

"This guy is good."

President He praised him, and then he saw others also shaking their hands and raising them.

The cheers around became louder.

Han Li felt the trembling in her palms and looked up at Yan Jiefang.

Although he was very nervous, he did not hesitate and did not look back.

Maybe that's why she fell in love.

"Dad, I'm getting married next year too."

Liu Guangtian watched Yan Jiefang on the stage and felt very uncomfortable.

In terms of age, he is two years older than Yan Jiefang, but the other person is married now, while he has never even touched a woman's hand.

If we don't hurry up, other people's children will be left alone.

Standing in the crowd with bangs, his big face is full of envy.

Of course, what he envied was not getting a wife.

What he envied was being able to catch the eye of the factory leaders, since promotion would be a sure thing in the future.

Hearing his second son say this, Liu Haizhong came back to his senses and thought of something.

If his two sons get married together, will the factory leaders pay attention to him?

Is it possible for him to go further?
The more I think about it, the more likely it becomes.

"Dad, I'm talking to you."

"Yes, I am listening."

Liu Haizhong said without turning his head, and then whispered, "Pay attention to it yourself later, and tell your mother if you like it."

"All right."

"Also, Guangfu is not young anymore, so it's a good opportunity for us to go together this time."

"The factory has given us a house anyway, so it's better to solve the problem once and for all."

"okay!"

As the father and son were discussing, the rehearsal on the stage was still going on. Laughter could be heard from time to time around them, bringing the entire Second Branch into the festive atmosphere ahead of time.

Four Nine Cities.

When it got dark, Yang Xiaotao said goodbye to Ran Qiuye and went out with his things.

In the yard, Duanwu was playing basketball with a group of children, while Miaomiao took Yueyue and Rongrong to sit under the cucumber rack. Each of them held a cucumber and counted them one by one without worrying about the numbness of their mouths.

"Drink less alcohol at night."

Ran Qiuye gave instructions while standing at the door, and Yang Xiaotao nodded.

Although he can drink a lot, he can still get drunk.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

"Get yourself something to eat."

"I know. Go ahead."

Yang Xiaotao glanced at Wangcai in the doghouse, then went out with the bag. He drove to pick up Wang Guodong and then went to the military compound to pick up Xu Yuanshan.

Finally, we drove to Yang Youning's residence.

When the three people got out of the car and knocked on the door to go in, Chen Gong and Sun Guo had already arrived and were sitting inside.

Yang Youning heard the noise in the kitchen and hurried out to greet them.

"You three are late. We are almost ready to serve the food."

As Tony Yang was talking, a woman came out from the side, holding Mingming in one hand. Seeing the three of them, she was polite, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Come anytime, it's fine."

Yang Youning’s wife’s surname is Zhang. Yang Xiaotao has met her several times. She is a very strong-willed person.

If not for this, we can't control Lao Yang so strictly that even smoking has to be regulated.

"Aunt Zhang, sorry to bother you."

"Don't be polite, come in and sit down."

Tony Yang said, and then called to Liu Huaimin, "Old Liu, please help greet them."

Liu Huaimin waved his hand, picked up the teacup and poured water for the three people.

Yang Xiaotao casually placed the things he brought on the table. There was a ping-pong sound, and everyone laughed.

"How many bottles did you bring?"

As Chen Gong spoke, he lifted the two bottles of Xifeng wine at his feet and placed them on the seat.

Sun Guo also grabbed two bottles of wine.

As for Xu Yuanshan, what he brought was a cigarette.

Wang Guodong was carrying two bags of tea.

"not much."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, then opened the bag, revealing six bottle openings.

"Damn, this isn't much. Let me see."

"Moutai, Xifeng, this Laobai Gan? Where did it come from?"

Chen Gong was also an expert on value, and he looked at the light blue bottle with great curiosity.

"Wang Dahai brought this to me last time he came over. Weizhou's Laobaigan is absolutely delicious."

"I'll definitely say something to this old Wang next time I see him. He won't keep the good stuff for me."

A few people were chatting and laughing, and soon Aunt Zhang started serving the dishes.

Yang Xiaotao stood up to help, and soon the table was filled with dishes.

Yang Xiaotao filled everyone's glasses with wine, and Aunt Zhang came over holding Mingming.

Tony Yang picked up his glass and said, "Thank you all for coming today. I am very happy today because my family has a new son."

"From now on, I'll rely on you guys as usual."

"Come on, come on, touch one, touch one."

A few people clinked glasses and drank two taels of wine before they even started eating.

Putting down the cup, Tony Yang took Mingming from Aunt Zhang's arms. The little guy was obviously not used to the unfamiliar environment, but he was very quiet in Tony Yang's arms.

"This child, when I went there, it happened to be the second earthquake, and I rescued him on the way."

"At that time, I was lying in the collapsed ruins, hugging the arms that stretched out from the ruins."

As Tony Yang was speaking, Aunt Zhang beside him had already red eyes.

Although it is not the first time I have heard it, every time I think of that scene, my heart feels heavy, as if my chest is blocked.

Yang Xiaotao had been to the disaster area and had seen worse things than this.

After hearing what Tony Yang said, he started talking about Miao Miao.

After hearing this, Aunt Zhang could no longer hold back her tears.

"When there is time, let them meet and get to know each other."

Yang Xiaotao nodded in agreement. Seeing that the people around him were in a very heavy mood, he said in surprise, "This, this relationship is not right."

"What's wrong?"

Tony Yang was confused by the question.

Yang Xiaotao pointed at Mingming and said, "Look, this is your son, and he calls me uncle, and I call you Uncle Yang. Isn't this confusing the generations?"

When everyone heard it, it was really like this.

Liu Huaimin laughed immediately, "What's the matter, you want to raise your status and be on equal footing with us?"

"Dream on you."

Chen Gong immediately added, then laughed, "We are about the same age as your father, and you still want to be of the same generation as us, what are you thinking?"

Wang Guodong also nodded. When it came to matters of principle, he couldn't support Yang Xiaotao. "It's okay. Let's talk about our own affairs."

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes. He didn't expect that the first person to say this was Wang Guodong.

"Yes, to each his own."

Tony Yang laughed loudly. He would never let Yang Xiaotao live with them for the rest of his life.

Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to do this for now.

I can't let this little brat call me big brother.

What about our own children?
drink!

Yang Xiaotao quickly filled up everyone's glasses, and with some banter, the atmosphere at the table gradually became more lively.

The drinking session lasted until ten o'clock, when Liu Huaimin asked everyone to get up and say goodbye.

Tony Yang just came back and was exhausted from the long journey. Originally, the dinner should have been postponed tonight and ended early so that his family could rest early.

Yang Xiaotao looked at Wang Guodong and Chen Gong whose heads were shaking, and could only walk out with Xu Yuanshan, each supporting the other.

Tony Yang also drank quite a bit, so he had to ask Aunt Wang to come out and see him off.

The few of them said goodbye. Yang Xiaotao had drunk quite a bit, but luckily he had a good alcohol tolerance and was able to drive.

The car was not going fast, and it was already eleven o'clock when it sent the two people home.

Finally, they drove to the military family compound and Xu Yuanshan got out of the car holding the door.

"Uncle Xu, shall I take you upstairs?"

"No, this little bit of wine is fine. Go back quickly!"

After saying that, Xu Yuanshan walked inside unsteadily. Unexpectedly, his steps walked in a straight line.

Yang Xiaotao saw him enter the family compound, then got into the car and walked towards the courtyard.

"Master, let me help you."

Xiaowei jumped out of the pocket and flew to Yang Xiaotao's shoulder, ready to sober Yang Xiaotao up.

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, "No, this little bit of wine is nothing."

Xiaowei responded, then sat on the car window, enjoying the evening breeze and looking at the scenes on both sides of the road.

"Master, there is someone there."

Just as Yang Xiaotao was about to turn into the branch road, Xiaowei suddenly pointed to a corner not far away, but Yang Xiaotao didn't care.

Just as the car lights swept across the corner when it turned, the glimpse of two figures made Yang Xiaotao's mind suddenly light up.

The car slowed down, but Xiaowei disappeared into the night.

Yang Xiaotao didn't stop the car until he had driven a hundred meters away.

Then he got out of the car with a deep look in his eyes.
