Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2174: Fraudulent aid? No way!

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao had seen through his thoughts, Old Wang's eyes rolled and he came up with another idea.

"Well, I think we should find another helper, what do you think?"

"You say!"

Yang Xiaotao just wanted to listen.

"I think Lao Huang and his team should be able to help. And Lao Zhou, they are planning to build a missile ship recently. I think we can give it a try!"

"Don't worry, I will never treat them unfairly."

Old Wang calculated carefully, and Yang Xiaotao was completely speechless.

I won’t talk about Mr. Huang, but let’s talk about Mr. Zhou. He is a very honest man. For the gas turbine, he sent ten master craftsmen without saying a word.

Can't you please stop bullying honest people?

"I don't know. You are always the protagonist and I am the supporting role. I will listen to you!"

Yang Xiaotao was completely in a mess. He realized that Old Wang had planned this long ago and this time he was here to get him to join the gang!

"Hey, that'll do."

"Just wait for my notification when the time comes!"

"it is good!"

Yang Xiaotao agreed, then stood up and walked out with the book.

Let Yang Youning worry about this when he gets back.

Uh

There may not be any headaches either.

After leaving the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, Yang Xiaotao looked at the sky and did not return to the machinery factory.

After driving back to the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao put the books in the space, and then walked into the yard carrying a piece of pork.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw the third aunt and a few old women standing at the hanging flower gate. They kept looking towards the central courtyard with a focused expression. They didn't even notice that Yang Xiaotao came in.

"Three Aunties, what are you doing?"

Yang Xiaotao came forward. The three aunts heard the voice and turned around. Seeing that it was Yang Xiaotao who came back, they immediately pointed to the yard and said, "Xiaotao, Shazhu is back!"

"Silly Pillar?"

Yang Xiaotao raised his eyebrows, feeling that this name seemed so old!
"Not only did Shazhu come back, he also brought his wife and children with him!"

"His wife gave birth to a son for him. It's only been a hundred days. Bring him back to show him to Auntie!"

The third aunt was well-informed and had already found out everything by now.

Yang Xiaotao was a little surprised when he heard this. In the film and television drama, Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e finally had a son, which was considered as leaving descendants for the He family. Unfortunately, Sha Zhu was still stupid enough in the end that he didn't even want his own son and insisted on going all the way to the end. In the end, he became destitute and didn't even recognize his own son!
It is true that there is always something hateful about pitiful people.

But this time, because of Yang Xiaotao's inspection, history has changed a lot, and Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e have no chance.

But unexpectedly, Sha Zhu still had a son.

"By the way, we heard that this baby was born prematurely!"

The third aunt revealed again, "It is said that the baby came out in seven months!"

The old ladies around me all nodded, "Yes, this is a bit like Qin Huairu's story about giving birth to a penis..."

A few old ladies were gossiping together, but Yang Xiaotao didn't have time to listen, so he walked towards the central courtyard.

As for Jia Dongxu’s great jokes, they seem even more distant!
When I arrived at the middle courtyard, I saw a little girl sitting at the door of an aunt's house. Then the sound of a child crying came from the house, followed by Shazhu's laughter, the aunt's sigh, and a woman's voice.

Yang Xiaotao ignored him and started preparing dinner when he got home.

Ran Qiuye took Miaomiao and Ran Hongbing back to Yangjiazhuang to go to school. Ran's mother helped take care of them during the Duanwu Festival, and now she is alone at home.

Of course, there is also an old Taoist priest in the backyard.

Sometimes when Yu Zecheng comes back, he will come over and sit with us.

Besides, there are quite a few people in the courtyard, and it is quite lively when they go out for a walk after dinner.

Soon, Yang Xiaotao cooked four dishes, kept them warm in the pot, and went to the study to read.

The books that Mr. Qian gave me were very purposeful, they were about the theory of aircraft flying in the air.

This is very much to Yang Xiaotao's liking.

Outside the yard, Qin Huairu was washing clothes in a basin in front of the faucet, and Xiao Dang Huaihua was standing beside her, looking pitiful.

As for Sha Zhu, although he had a constant smile on his face, every time his eyes swept across Qin Huairu, he felt empty in his heart and had an unspeakable pain, but he dared not show it.

"Mom, I'm hungry!"

Xiaodang smelled the aroma of the food, looked back at the Yang family, and then turned back again.

Ever since she could remember, her father had told her that the Yang family was the mortal enemy of their Jia family.

But dad is dead now, why do we still have a mortal enemy?
But her mother wouldn't let her get close to them, and even the Yang family's children were not allowed to play with them.

swipe
Qin Huairu pretended not to hear and continued working.

At this moment, countless emotions surged in Qin Huairu's heart, but they all turned into regret in the end.

Regret for Yang Xiaotao!
Regret for Jia Dongxu!
Regret for the stupid one.

right…

"mom…"

"Find food when you're hungry!"

Qin Huairu said this coldly and continued to beat the already white bed sheets, as if she wanted to vent her regret on them, wishing she could rub them to pieces!

"Xiaodang, Sophora japonica!"

Hearing the noise in the yard, Sha Zhu couldn't help it anymore, and went directly to the door and shouted to the two children, "Come home for dinner!"

"Stupid dad!"

Xiaodang shouted, but looked at Qin Huairu who was standing beside him.

But Qin Huairu just got up, took the basin and went back to the house without saying a word.

"Listen to silly dad and come eat!"

"Silly dad made the braised pork, come quickly!"

When the two children heard about the braised pork, they couldn't help themselves and ran directly into the house.

After returning home, Qin Huairu threw the basin to the ground, then fell flat on the bed, tears streaming down her face, sobbing and crying!
In the evening, the old Taoist returned to the courtyard, and Yu Zecheng returned to the courtyard during dinner time. Unfortunately, Cuiping took Xiao Shitou and Ran Qiuye to the countryside, so the three grown men sat at a table in the house.

"Old Taoist, your research institute needs to be more cautious recently."

After two glasses of wine, Yang Xiaotao began to remind him.

The Taoist priest put down his chopsticks and said, "I said there are a lot more people in the security department. What's going on?"

Yu Zecheng also looked over, and Yang Xiaotao told him about the alliance's matter regarding alloys. "It's better to be careful, so be careful." "Don't go to remote places normally. If there is any problem, tell the factory in time."

"Also, keep an eye on our comrades."

Yang Xiaotao gave instructions and the old Taoist nodded vigorously.

It's not like he hasn't experienced this before. He had this kind of experience when he was in the northwest.

Yu Zecheng was listening on the side. Although he didn't say anything in his heart, now that he knew about it, he would definitely pay attention to it.

"By the way, how is your improvement of titanium-rhenium alloy going?"

After Yang Xiaotao finished explaining, he asked about work matters.

"It is still being improved. We are now trying to obtain the alloy properties at different temperatures."

"Lao Wang, that's Wang Manshan. This guy has a sharp eye. He can tell the temperature from the color with a palm. We are all thanks to him."

The old Taoist picked up the wine cup, feeling very emotional.

The research institute is full of hidden talents.

Of course he is not bad either.

"Oh, there's something else I need to tell you."

"what's up?"

"Regarding the tinplate, now that we have a new type of rolling mill, our tinplate is almost as good as that produced abroad."

"We have received a batch of tasks with great demand for tinplate. If we produce it, it may affect the production of other alloys."

After the Taoist priest finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao frowned, "I don't know about this matter. Who gave me the task?"

"Secretary Liu gave it to me this afternoon."

"Oh, I went to the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building this afternoon. Maybe they didn't tell me. Did they tell me why?"

"I heard from Director Guan that they seem to be urgently making a batch of canned food to support the south."

"I'll go ask about this, don't worry."

Yang Xiaotao thought about it for a while and finally decided to confirm it first.

Although I don't know what happened in the south, they want missiles and canned food, and I guess they will ask for a lot of other supplies. I don't think it's good.

Could it be that the 'limited support' that he proposed would affect the other party's combat effectiveness?
Can't hold it?

impossible.

With the alliance as our backing and the support from the country, how could we be unreliable?
The only explanation is that these guys are crying poor.

He knew this trick too well.

After the three of them had dinner, the old Taoist went out for a stroll in the alley with Tianzun. Yu Zecheng didn't go home either, and he was nowhere to be seen when he went out.

Yang Xiaotao cleaned up the table and went to the study to read.

the next day.

Yang Xiaotao came to the machinery factory and found Liu Huaimin to ask about tinplate. Sure enough, it was just as Yang Xiaotao thought.

The war in the south was more brutal than expected, and agricultural production was almost impossible to carry out. If it hadn't been for the endorsement and support of the alliance, it would have collapsed long ago.

"This time, not only is there a huge increase in canned goods, but there is also a huge demand for grain."

"I heard from Mr. Chen that we don't make money from this kind of national disaster, so the support is free of charge."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao felt like he was back to his old ways. He had finally come up with some limited support, so why couldn't he hold on?
"What about our Mole Armored Vehicle?"

"This is the same as before. Selling it to the alliance does not fall within the scope of free compensation."

"That's good. At least I'm not that stupid."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Liu Huaimin frowned, realizing that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly said with a smile, "I heard from the steel plant that the production of tinplate takes up a lot of resources. We are very busy now, so I think we should ask other factories to help."

Liu Huaimin looked at Yang Xiaotao in surprise. This guy was obviously lying with his eyes open. He made it clear to Guan Zhiyong on the phone yesterday that he could allocate some people to do the job.

Why are you too busy when it comes to Yang Xiaotao?

What on earth is this guy thinking?

Could it be that someone over there had offended him?

But he didn't interact with anyone.

Liu Huaimin couldn't understand for a moment why Yang Xiaotao became indifferent when it came to things in the south?

"Lao Liu, that's it. If it's inconvenient for you, I'll talk to the chief."

Seeing that Liu Huaimin didn't say anything, Yang Xiaotao spoke.

Since it's free, there's no point in being active.

Wouldn't it be better to produce more steel during that time?
"Forget it, I'll talk to the chief instead."

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was determined, Liu Huaimin was afraid that Yang Xiaotao might cause trouble, so he took the responsibility.

"Okay, I'll go call Guan Zhiyong."

After saying that, Yang Xiaotao left.

Liu Huaimin shook his head helplessly in the back, "Forget it, let them worry about the things above on their own."

After returning to the office, Yang Xiaotao picked up the phone and called Guan Zhiyong.

Although nothing was said explicitly, Guan Zhiyong could sense that something was wrong with the tone of the voice. He did not dare to ask why, but simply stopped the task of producing tinplate. Then, after some thought, he shut down one of the two production lines and transferred the workers in charge of production directly to the titanium alloy production workshop.

After doing all this, Guan Zhiyong called Yang Xiaotao back. Then he heard Yang Xiaotao's voice return to normal and he felt relieved.

On the other side, after Liu Huaimin hung up the phone, he looked helpless again and made up his mind that if such things happened again in the future, he would never interfere.

At the same time, the foreign trade staff who received replies from the machinery factory were also helpless.

The group of people in the south have been crying poor for many days, but there is nothing they can do unless they get any orders from above.

We can't just agree to it casually and then not be able to provide the supplies when the time comes.

I thought the canned pork could be delivered as scheduled, but now it seems that there are not enough cans and they cannot be delivered.

There's no other way, just tell the truth.

After hearing this, Ruan Wenzhe, the representative of Bei'an, sat in his chair in silence for the whole day.

Then he set off back to Bei'an.

Bei'an then took the initiative to launch a counterattack to the south, and reversed its previous weakness, even gaining a local war advantage.

This time, some people in the country also realized that they are not at the end of their rope, but are just crying poor to get benefits.

Unfortunately, if you don’t get any benefits, you can only show your value.

Sure enough, this hit the alliance's sore spot, and the machinery factory's order volume doubled.

After learning about this, Yang Xiaotao's mouth curled up in pride, "You still want to cheat me for help? No way!"
