Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1814: Doing Big Things Silently

patter
A leg kicked Sha Zhu on the butt, and Sha Zhu, who was sleeping, woke up suddenly. He opened his eyes and looked at the strange house, then turned around and looked at the sleeping woman.

After divorcing Qin Huairu, he got together with Shen Cuihua.

It’s not good, because Captain Zhang’s gun is pointed at us.

So, after the brigade issued a letter of certification, Sha Zhu completed his second marriage in the fastest possible speed.

There was no inviter, no witnesses, let alone any oath.

The two of them just had a meal at home. Shen Cuihua asked her daughter to call him "Dad", and then they went to the bridal chamber.

However, since getting married, Sha Zhu suddenly found that his sky had brightened.

Because of his marriage, he said goodbye to the hay hut next to Ma Peng and moved into Shen Cuihua's house.

Although it feels like being a son-in-law, at least I have a place to stay, even if it is not as simple as the cellar in a courtyard house.

Then the eating habits also improved a lot.

Maybe it’s because I became a villager.

He was also asked to do any cooking work in the village, and he always brought back some food.

This made Shen Cuihua admire him more and more, and even her new daughter became closer to him.

Finally, there are women.

To be honest, this woman didn't feel anything special in the cornfield before. Maybe she was too nervous to appreciate it.

But now, after spending a long time with her, I feel that this woman is no worse than Qin Huairu!

More importantly, when she tormented him, she was more severe than Qin Huairu.

As expected, a widow!
No wonder my father likes widows.

Sha Zhu was lost in thought when he heard snoring in his ear, interrupting his thoughts.

Looking at the woman beside him through the moonlight, he sighed deeply in his heart.

Can I still go back?
Haven’t you seen the Huairu in your dreams yet?

Thinking of this, a tear flowed from the corner of my eye to my ear.

The courtyard filled with his youth and the woman he once was with, he can never go back.

Sha Zhu felt sad and turned over and hugged the woman, which made him feel better.

But why does my belly feel a little big?

……

After dawn, Yang Xiaotao came to the machinery factory.

Factory director's office.

Yang Youning walked in with a cup of water, his forehead covered with sweat.

When I came in, I found someone sitting in the room. When I looked closely, it was none other than Yang Xiaotao.

"I said, why did you come so early?"

"Is the air conditioner still on?"

"Don't you know how to save electricity?"

Yang Youning put down the water cup. Although he said that Yang Xiaotao was wasting electricity, his body was honest and went under the air conditioner, pulling his collar from time to time.

In addition to the conference room, the secretary's office and the factory director's office are also equipped with air conditioners in the machinery factory. No other offices are installed with air conditioners.

Even Yang Xiaotao uses a fan.

Nothing else, the main point is equality.

Even if it is only equality within a certain range, it can make people feel respected.

As for installing air conditioning in the two-person office, it is for receiving guests.

There are some guests coming, like Mr. Chen, Mr. Huang, and others. We can't invite them all to the conference room.

So air conditioners were specially installed in these two places.

Yang Xiaotao just smiled after hearing this. How can you survive such a hot day without turning on the air conditioner?

It's only the beginning of July, and it's not even the hottest time of the year yet.

"Still laughing? You must have been holding your fart in!"

"You're coming here so early. You're not going to be blown by the cold wind! Hurry up and tell me!"

Yang Youning felt much cooler and did not turn off the air conditioner. He sat aside and saw Yang Xiaotao's expression and immediately understood that this was a man who came to visit for no reason!

Yang Xiaotao waited until he was seated before speaking, "Old Yang, you're just saying this when I need you to turn on the air conditioner. It's really disheartening!"

"Stop it, and get down to business!"

Yang Xiaotao shrugged, then came up to him and said, "Last time I designed a thresher and handed it over to a branch factory the day before yesterday."

"Hmm? Thresher, you made it?"

Yang Youning put down his cup when he heard this. He knew about the thresher during the internal audit, but he didn't take it too seriously when he first heard about it.

After all, it is just an agricultural machine. In comparison, he would like to study more about the improvement of machine tools and new industrial machinery.

Just like semi-automatic machine tools, it would be great if we could make a better machine tool than Morning Star.

"Of course I did. I experimented with it last night."

"How's it going?"

Yang Youning asked, not finding it strange.

After all, this was designed by Yang Xiaotao, and the strength of the branch factory is there. It would be strange if it failed.

He just looked up and saw Yang Xiaotao smiling calmly, which brought back a familiar memory for him.

Before he could figure it out, he heard Yang Xiaotao raise two fingers.

"A thresher worked for a little over an hour and threshed out a ton of wheat."

"This efficiency is equivalent to that of a hundred people."

A ton an hour!
One to one hundred!
"What? Say it again!"

Yang Youning expressed doubt about Yang Xiaotao's two fingers, "Are you sure it's one ton per hour? Not one hundred kilograms?"

"A ton an hour. Do you know what that means?"

"This is no joke."

Yang Youning became more and more excited as he spoke. He stood up from his seat. Even though the wind was cold, he felt his chest getting hot and he couldn't help but unbutton his shirt.

The calm attitude just now was completely forgotten.

He had also seen the farm work in the village, and he knew that people in this era depended on the weather for their livelihood.

The harvest of one acre of land is placed on the threshing floor, and then the millstone is pulled by livestock or people to turn it in circles to thresh the crops. It is considered good if one acre of land can be threshed in a day.

Moreover, during the busy farming season, we have to race against time with God. If we don’t complete the farming within the prescribed time, the harvest will be late, which may delay the farming season and cause a reduction in yield!

For farmers, the farming season is the starting gun.

Now one machine can do the work of a hundred people, so the ninety-nine people who are freed up can do more work.

this.
If the people in the Ministry of Agriculture knew about this, they would be so happy.

Yang Youning glanced at Yang Xiaotao. Although the other party did not speak, the confidence on his face clearly told him that this was true.

“This is still a conservative estimate!”

Seeing Yang Youning's loss of composure, Yang Xiaotao was not surprised. The small thresher may not be as famous as the Morning Star, but the sensation it caused was no small one.

You have to know that our country is still an agricultural-based society, and agriculture is the cornerstone of revolutionary construction and development.

This small improvement will have significant effects.

Yang Youning looked at Yang Xiaotao after hearing this, "Can't you just finish your sentence?"

"How can I finish what you're saying?"

Yang Youning stretched his neck and forced himself to sit at the table. Now his mind was full of images of honor.

Even though this scene has appeared too many times, it still makes him excited and fascinated every time.

He knew that there would be new members added to his own memorial hall!
"and then?"

Yang Xiaotao pinched his throat and coughed softly.

Yang Youning took a deep breath and asked, while pushing his cup in front of Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao raised his eyebrows, took the cup, took a sip, and flexed his fingers.

Yang Youning hurriedly took out a cigarette box from his pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in Yang Xiaotao's hand, then took out a lighter and lit it.

At this point, who cares about all this red tape?

As long as it is beneficial to the revolutionary construction, Yang Youning doesn't mind if he compromises.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao was just pretending. After lighting a cigarette, he was ready to tell the situation.

patter
At this moment, the office door was pushed open, and Chen Gong walked in from outside, pulling his shirt off his chest. "I heard the sound of the fan downstairs, and I knew you turned on the air conditioner!"

Then he saw Yang Xiaotao was there too, he was stunned for a moment and shook the sweat off his face to the side, then walked to the table and picked up the cigarette that Yang Youning hadn't put away yet, "You two are really nice, turning on the air conditioner without calling me!"

Yang Youning had a bitter face, as he had one less cigarette.

"Don't blame me, he opened it early in the morning!"

Chen Gong glanced at Yang Xiaotao and said, "You came so early, something is wrong!"

"What's wrong? I've always been very early!"

"hehe…"

"I didn't count!"

Two voices came immediately, and Yang Xiaotao looked embarrassed.

"I did that for a reason!"

Chen Gong was disdainful, "What's the reason? I'm just lazy!"

Yang Youning said nothing and silently put away the cigarette box.

Then he said, "Old Chen, you can't say that. After all, Xiao Tao also had his reasons!"

Ok?
Chen Gong suddenly became alert. Considering his familiarity with Yang Youning, this statement was not normal!
"Well, Lao Yang is right!"

Chen Gong understood that if he followed the flow at this time, he would definitely not fall into the trap.

Sure enough, after hearing what Chen Gong said, Yang Youning smiled, then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "Tell me something to make Old Chen happy!"

Chen Gong had an expression that said "as expected", and then listened to Yang Xiaotao's explanation of the situation.

In an instant, Chen Gong felt his whole body was clear and cool!

Who doesn’t know the importance of agriculture these days!

That was a matter of food and clothing for the entire population, and the hand-held tractor that had been developed previously had made the machinery factory famous.

The steel rolling mill was promoted to a machinery plant, which also played an important role.

The original intention was to encourage them to produce tractors.

Who would have thought that the machinery factory would expand further and further, and finally reach such a scale.

However, anything that helps agriculture will be elevated to a higher level.

Not to mention the benefits this thresher brings.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Chen Gong picked up the cup on the table and drank up the water in the bottom of the cup. Then he looked at the two of them and said, "I was told that you two were so secretive and didn't make any moves during the review."

"So it's here, doing great things quietly."

"Okay, you two are awesome."

Yang Youning was about to explain after hearing this. He had just learned about this, but then he heard Yang Xiaotao say, "We are being strict, don't you understand?"

Yang Youning glanced at Yang Xiaotao, and when he saw him wink, he changed his words and said, "I only knew about this matter and took the lead. The details were still done by him."

Chen Gong was filled with envy after hearing this. Even if he was just a leader, he would be on the list of people to be rewarded in the future.

Why doesn't he have such good fortune?
Could it be that this is the difference between a factory director and a deputy factory director?

"Okay, keep talking. Then what is a conservative estimate?"

Yang Youning urged, maybe someone else would come over soon.

Yang Xiaotao nodded and said, "This thresher can not only thresh wheat, but also sorghum, peanuts and rice."

Yang Xiaotao counted on his fingers, and with each time he said a word, Yang Youning and Chen Gong felt their heartbeats quicken.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the two of them widened their eyes.

"The first branch, has everything been arranged with Old Sun?"

Yang Youning didn't ask anything else, he just wanted to know about the production capacity of the first branch.

"Yes, if he can't do it, let's assign one workshop, no, let workshop one or workshop five do it first."

Chen Gong was also speaking on the side.

If such a good thing were known to the higher-ups, at least the drawings would have to be handed over, and then machinery factories all over the country would have to imitate and produce it.

As the first one, their machinery factory must at least get the first wave of dividends.

Even if you hand it over and gain fame in return, you can't let go of the meat at your fingertips.

"I told Uncle Sun that their first branch will organize production as soon as possible, but we still have to inform the Academy of Agricultural Sciences about this thing."

"I made this at the request of the former president of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. I have to tell you now."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Yang Youning had already stood up.

"Hurry up and make the call, and drive over to pick someone up."

"Old Chen, call Sun Guo and ask him to go all out for production. Also, you need to arrange for a workshop to do it first. They don't have any tasks for the time being, so just do this first."

"I'll tell Lao Liu that we'll report this matter after the comrades from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences confirm it."

Yang Youning finished the water in the cup and said, "I'm just going to take a look."

Chen Gong nodded immediately. It was not that they would not report it, but they wanted to confirm it first.

No problem.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao still sitting there, Yang Youning quickly said, "Go make the call quickly, don't sit here and wait for the cold wind."

After saying that, he turned off the air conditioner.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the sun outside and it was getting hotter and hotter.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

The air conditioners were turned off, and Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to get up and work.

After Yang Xiaotao left, Yang Youning went out and walked into the secretary's office.

How could Liu Huaimin be absent from such a matter?
