Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 462
The next day, Yang Xiaotao went out as usual, and many workers from the rolling mill walked together, talking and laughing.

When he came to the rolling mill, he put down his things, straightened things out, and ordered Lou Xiao'e to do things.

Then I went to a workshop to have a look.

Before getting close, Yang Xiaotao heard voices coming from the door.

"Master Yi, this one won't work."

"It's a little bit worse than the requirements on the drawing!"

Sun Guo's voice was hoarse but firm.

"Director, I'm trying my best, and the data is simply not up to the mark. How many times have I done this, and how many steel pipes have been used, it will never be achieved!"

"I think it's Yang Xiaotao's nonsense!"

"This thing is meaningless at all. Instead of wasting effort on it, it is better to complete the task of the superior."

"We have been in the first workshop for so many years, and the completion rate of the tasks has always been 100%. Director, you can't lose the watermelon for a little sesame."

Yi Zhonghai spoke weakly, his physical strength couldn't keep up, and he couldn't concentrate after working for a while.

More importantly, he didn't like what Yang Xiaotao was doing, such as well drilling machines. These days, just a few people can dig wells. It's a waste of time and materials.

"That's enough! Yi Zhonghai. I'm the director of the workshop. I don't need you to teach me what to do."

"That's it, you are an eighth-level fitter, whether the data of this workpiece is real, you don't know in your mind?"

"I don't care how many steel pipes you use, you must make them for me."

Sun Guo said sternly, "The whole workshop is waiting for this turnaround."

"Don't forget the loss your apprentice brought to the workshop."

"Also, who wiped the ass of this matter!"

"Still asking for leave?"

"What's the point of this, you ask me for leave?"

"Everyone in the workshop is watching this thing, look at it, look at it, you have to ask for leave at this time, isn't everyone's hard work in vain?"

Yang Xiaotao recognized that it was Sun Guo's voice, and anger was suppressed in the voice.

As soon as Sun Guo finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai's unique voice sounded again.

"Director, I have no other choice. This Jia Dongxu is going to die soon. Anyway, he is an employee of our first workshop. It's only been a few days. As a master, if I don't watch in front of my eyes, how will I live in my heart in the future?"

Yang Xiaotao heard that it was Yi Zhonghai's voice, and the meaning in the words seemed that Jia Dongxu was going to die?
Speeding up his pace, Yang Xiaotao walked past and walked quickly towards the third workshop.

Behind him were the voices of Sun Guo and Yi Zhonghai.

In the afternoon, Xu Yuanshan lost his temper in the office, Yang Xiaotao listened cautiously next door, and finally saw Sun Guo running out of the office in a panic.

Then Lou Xiaoe went out to inquire about the news, and said that Yi Zhonghai disobeyed Sun Guo's order, left his post before completing the task, and returned to the courtyard.

Now the progress of building the steam engine has been affected. If it weren't for the fact that there are still a few seventh-level fitters in the first workshop, who are barely making do, it is estimated that it will stop now.

But after Xu Yuanshan found out about this, he still lost his temper with Sun Guo.

A workshop director can't even handle this matter, how will he lead people to complete the task in the future?
Sun Guo was also wronged. As an eighth-level fitter, Yi Zhonghai was an old employee. Many people in the workshop spoke for him. What can he do?
In the end, Xu Yuanshan asked him to find a way by himself.

He also said that if he is capable, he will hand over the task if he can't do it. The second workshop can also do it.

As for the reason why Yi Zhonghai left his post, it was heard that Jia Dongxu was dying, and the people in the courtyard came to inform him, so he ran back.

Regarding the matter of the courtyard house, Lou Xiao'e knew it well.

Anyway, I left and didn't want to ask more questions.

After Yang Xiaotao heard this, he just lost his mind for a moment, thinking that the locust tree in the courtyard was about to bloom.

Immediately there was no response, what should I do.

But after a while, Sun Guo ran back again.

There was no way, except for Yi Zhonghai, the other fitters in the workshop couldn't do it at all, and the slide valves they made were unqualified, so he couldn't feel embarrassed hiring other workshop workers, so he had to come here to invite Yang Xiaotao.

When he came to the office, Sun Guo was a little embarrassed. Yang Xiaotao knew the situation and asked him if he had any difficulties before he could open his mouth.

Sun Guo borrowed the donkey from the slope and asked Yang Xiaotao to help.

The two came to the first workshop, and Yang Xiaotao began to take over the parts manufacturing.

Liu Haizhong tapped with a small hammer, listening to the people next to him constantly complaining that Yi Zhonghai didn't understand the overall situation and was full of opinions.

Liu Haizhong didn't dare to say more, he didn't like what Yang Xiaotao created, but he didn't dare to let go like Yi Zhonghai did.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao surrounded by a group of people, surrounded by stars and moons, I felt more envious than jealousy.

"For the sake of official career, endure it!"

Liu Haizhong spat on the palm of his hand and continued to swing the hammer.

On the other side, Yi Zhonghai walked towards the courtyard full of worries.

When I saw Jia Dongxu last night, I felt like I didn't have much time.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long before I received news that Jia Dongxu was going to die.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai's heart was tangled.

Years of master-student relationship, even if it is a stone, can warm up after a long time, not to mention that he really treats Jia Dongxu as his son.

Even if there is his own selfishness in it, his contribution is huge!

But now, Jia Dongxu is going to be gone, he is not only sad, but also feels pity for himself.

It's a pity that he has planned for many years, but it turned out to be nothing.

The feeling in my heart is hard to tell, maybe it is such a pain for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person.

Back in the courtyard, many parents and children who stayed in the yard were watching around the yard. In Jia's house, Jia Zhang's cries had not stopped since the morning.

"Old Yi, go and see Dongxu."

The first mother stood guard at the door and hurried over when she saw Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai didn't care much to say, and rushed into the house with a brisk walk.

The gate of Jia's house was full of people, the second and third mothers, the old woman and the young daughter-in-law in the courtyard, and those who were at home all gathered to check on the situation.

In the room, Qin Huairu's eyes were red from crying, and Jia Zhang's face was haggard. Although they knew that this day would come sooner or later, when it really came, the two of them were still sad.

"Dongxu, Dongxu."

Yi Zhonghai yelled softly beside him, and Jia Dongxu who was lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes.

Thin cheeks, withered yellow hair, and a pair of slender eyes burst out with the last touch of color after seeing Yi Zhonghai.

"Master, you are here."

At this moment, Jia Dongxu's speech was full of spirit, but it was the last reflection.

"Dongxu, I'm here! Don't worry, the master is here, you will be fine."

"Master, it's useless, I know my own affairs!"

"I waited for you in this tone, just to say something."

"Master, I'm useless, I can't give you a retirement pension."

As Jia Dongxu spoke, his breath was short of breath, as if he couldn't breathe.

Slowly raising his hand, Yi Zhonghai quickly reached out to hold it.

"Dongxu~"

"Master, it doesn't matter. There are sticks and Huairu. I'm leaving. They will respect you as well."

"As soon as I leave, the old and the young in this family, as well as the child in Huairu's belly, will be entrusted to you."

"You and aunt are a little tired, please help me take care of it, here I am, thank you for being old."

With a sad expression on his face, Yi Zhonghai's eyes were moist, "Don't worry, the master is still here, so they won't be wronged."

"Well, apprentice, I will miss you underground."

Jia Dongxu firmly held Yi Zhonghai's hand, and then looked at Jia Zhang.

"Mom, my son is not filial, so let's go first. You always take care of this pair of children for me. When they grow up, I will rest in peace."

Jia Zhang was crying, her hair sticking to her face.

Jia Dongxu looked at Banggeng again, "Banggeng, when you grow up, you must remember your father's words and protect grandma, mother and sister!"

Facing Qin Huairu again, "Huairu."

"Dongxu! Tell me, I'll listen."

Qin Huairu leaned forward, but Jia Dongxu stared at her vigorously. Yi Zhonghai felt that Jia Dongxu's hands were shaking.

Jia Dongxu didn't speak, but just looked at Qin Huairu's stomach, "Huairu, I can't see this child anymore. After I leave, you should think about yourself. I don't blame you, but the child has to stay."

Qin Huairu's face turned pale from crying, and he kept shaking his head, "Dongxu, don't worry, I won't leave, life and death are members of the Jia family."

Jia Dongxu shook his head. When he was dying, everything was clear.

"The most proud thing in my life is to marry you."

"But what I regret the most is marrying you!"

"I'm going to hurt you!"

Jia Dongxu spoke out with his last strength.

Whether it's Qin Huairu or Jia Zhang's, even Yi Zhonghai and Da Ma are sad.

Around the house, after hearing the last words, many people couldn't stand it anymore and turned to leave.

The most heartbreaking thing is parting, not to mention the separation of life and death?
When a person is about to die, his words are also good.

At this time, Jia Dongxu couldn't care less, and if he didn't talk, he would have no chance to speak.

After saying this, Jia Dongxu's chest shriveled suddenly.

"Master, I'll leave Huairu's stomach to you. Apprentice. Report again!"

Before he finished speaking, Jia Dongxu's eyes were all gray, without a trace of brilliance.

"Dongxu~~~"

"My son~~~"

"Dad~~~"

There were shouts in the house.

Outside the house, everyone was silent.

The departure of a life, no one can laugh in front of this heavy topic.

The Jia family wailed.

Jia Zhang lay on Jia Dongxu, crying loudly. The pain of a white-haired man sending a black-haired man made her feel like she lost the whole world.

Qin Huairu stretched out her hand to hold Jia Dongxu's fingers, wanting to wake Jia Dongxu up, even if she just called her name softly, she felt a kind of concern in her heart.

Stick standing aside, looking at his father who refused to answer no matter how much he yelled on the bed, his face was a little flustered.

Xiao Dang was crying on the sidelines, although the father was always aggressive with her, and even though the father sometimes drove her out, but when she was hungry at night, her father could always give her something to eat.

Now, grandma told her that her father was gone and she would never see her again, and Xiao Dang cried even more sadly.

Yi Zhonghai wiped away his tears and looked at Jia Dongxu's wide eyes, full of unwillingness.

Great years, full of children, but no blessings to enjoy.

I don't want to die in peace, I'm not willing to go!

Reaching out to close Jia Dongxu's eyes, he said silently in his heart, "Dongxu, don't worry, I will do what you ask."

"Huairu, Dongxu is gone, what should we do next?"

Qin Huairu wiped away her tears, "My lord, we women don't understand these things."

"You are Elder Dongxu, I will leave this matter to you and the two uncles."

Yi Zhonghai nodded, turned around and arranged for people to report to the street, and then sent people to prepare things.

Now the country advocates frugality and doing things in a simple way, and those cumbersome etiquettes are all classified into the feudal dross, which saves the living a lot of trouble.

But no matter how you save it, the dead are the most important, and it is still the mainstream in people's minds, and the living still have to worry about the dead.

This kind of thing is rare in the courtyard house, but it is not uncommon. There are traces to follow, and many people start to lend a hand and help if they can.

Yi Zhonghai presided over the overall situation outside, asked the first mother to pull the white cloth, asked the second mother to borrow a brazier in the alley, and at the same time found someone to play and sing mourning music, and asked the third mother to arrange the layout of the courtyard. Don't let guests come and say no.

Finally, they sent someone to find the relatives of Jia's family and told about Jia Dongxu so that they could arrange for the funeral.

As for Jiazhang's and Qin Huairu's, someone will notify them.

The courtyard became lively, and the children who didn't know the situation made it even more lively, laughing and playing.

At Jia's house, Qin Huairu found Jia Dongxu's clothes, picked out the most decent one, and put them on with Jia and Zhang.

Then there is grooming, a bunch of things to do.
