Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 804
Night was starting to fall, and the days were lengthening now, but it was still pitch black by the end of the day.

After the new year, the weather has not improved, and it is still cold and windy.

Yang Xiaotao rode a bicycle to the gate, Zhao Chuanjun and Wang Guodong were smoking together, saw Yang Xiaotao coming over and quickly recruited.

"I said, both of you are off work, why don't you go home?"

Yang Xiaotao put the car down and refused the cigarettes offered by Wang Guodong. He will be home soon, and the smell of cigarettes is not good for the children.

"Xiaotao, why hasn't there been any movement on what happened today?"

Wang Guodong asked, at the end of the day, I was always anxious, or looking forward to it.

Looking forward to rolling mills reaping the benefits of this practice.

"Movement? How can it be so fast."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, "Uncle Wang, we have to hold our breath, the lower the spring is pressed, the higher it will bounce, and the greater the surprise will be."

Wang Guodong nodded and could only wait slowly.

Seeing that the two of them were fine, Yang Xiaotao stretched his legs and rode out of the rolling mill.

Seeing the back of Yang Xiaotao going away, Wang Guodong suddenly asked Zhao Chuanjun, "Old Zhao, have you noticed that Xiaotao is very calm?"

Zhao Chuanjun glanced at Wang Guodong, "At least he is calmer than us."

"Uh, that's what you said. This kid has been calm since he was a child."

Wang Guodong couldn't help laughing when he thought of the days in the third workshop.

Regardless of Yang Xiaotao's future, the imprint of the third workshop will never be erased.

"Let's go, let's wait for this matter."

Zhao Chuanjun nodded and asked the people from the security department to strengthen the defense, and the two hooked up and left.

And this wait is three days.

This day Yang Xiaotao got up from the gentle village, his face was still full of excitement.

I remembered a sentence I once saw in my mind, no matter how powerful a woman is, there are times when she loses her strength.

And once a woman gives her heart to a man, she will continue to break the bottom line of her heart for this man.

"Daughter-in-law, where do you want to go on the weekend the day after tomorrow?"

Yang Xiaotao was wearing clothes, and Ran Qiuye pulled the quilt tightly, revealing his snow-white neck, "Do you still have time?"

"Then why not, this time is like that, there are still squeezes!"

As he spoke and looked at the bed, Ran Qiuye understood in seconds, and immediately turned his back.

"Alas, daughter-in-law!"

"I will take you where to arrange the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I haven't been to the library for a long time, and the books at home should be returned."

Ran Qiuye thought for a while and realized that there was really nothing good to do that day, so she went to the library to have a look.

"Okay, let's go to the library. I haven't seen Master Gu for a long time, and it happens that the first month is not out. Let's pay my respects."

After getting dressed, Yang Xiaotao went out and saw two steamed buns on the table, and a boiled egg next to it. Yang Xiaotao picked up a steamed bun and went out.

After leaving the middle courtyard, I saw Qin Huairu going out wearing a cotton padded coat and a headscarf. Looking closely, she found that her complexion was a bit wrong. It was yellower than before, and her cheeks were thinner, and her chin was even more retracted.

According to Ran Qiuye, Jia Zhang's howls often come from Jia's house recently, saying that the daughter-in-law bullies the mother-in-law and refuses to eat if she can't do it.

Now it seems that the family is really difficult, otherwise people like Qin Huairu would not starve themselves.

The two walked towards the front yard one after the other.

Many people in the yard also went out to work. A group of workers from the rolling mill gathered together, walking with big strides, chatting and laughing constantly.

Of course, in front of Yang Xiaotao, everyone is more restrained, and they can also lower their voices when speaking.

When he got out of the compound, Yang Xiaotao pedaled away in twos and twos, and glanced at Qin Huairu when he passed by. Qin Huairu was holding a small bag in his hand, and he didn't look like he was going to work on the street.

When he arrived at the rolling mill, a banner had already been hung at the gate, and Yang Xiaotao realized that the day after tomorrow would be March [-] Women's Day.

'Women hold up half the sky, but women in rolling mills must take the lead. '

'Warmly celebrate Women's Day. '

Banners were hung on the side of the road to remind everyone that Women's Day is coming.

The workers walking back and forth were also talking about whether the factory would distribute anything on Women's Day, and what it would be.

"It looks like I'm going to prepare a present for Qiuye the day after tomorrow."

Yang Xiaotao was thinking about putting his bicycle away, but just as he was about to go upstairs and return to his office, there was a sound of car brakes behind him.

Yang Xiaotao turned his head and saw a jeep parked in front of him. Then he saw the door was pushed open, and Yang Youning jumped off the co-pilot. That vigorous movement made Yang Xiaotao believe what Liu Dehui said, that jumping from a car is the basic skill of a driver in this day and age.

"Director, you are back."

Yang Xiaotao hurried forward to say hello, but Yang Youning went up to hold Yang Xiaotao's arm and walked quickly to the office.

"Come on, tell me about the situation, what's going on?"

"Director, didn't you make it clear on the phone?"

"Let's talk about it."

The two walked all the way to the factory director's office, and the secretary Xiaoqiang hurried out to fetch water and make tea.

"As soon as I get off the train, I will come by car, and I haven't returned home yet."

Yang Youning took a sip of water, and then asked with a strong spirit, "Where is the letter? Tell me quickly, how did you deal with it?"

Taking the train along the way, he couldn't make a phone call, and he was in a hurry, for fear that some people in the rolling mill would mess things up.

Seeing Yang Youning's appearance, Yang Xiaotao quickly explained the matter clearly.

"Give it to Lao Liu? That's good, that's good."

Yang Youning breathed a sigh of relief when he heard about it, "I'll call Lao Liu and ask."

After speaking, regardless of the early morning, he picked up the phone and made a call.

Unexpectedly, Liu Huaimin was still at his post, and when the phone was connected, Yang Youning couldn't wait to ask about the situation.

"The letter has already been handed over to Mr. Xia, and he will handle it. Let's just wait."

On the phone, Liu Huaimin explained the situation, and Yang Youning was silent for a moment, knowing that how this matter will progress depends entirely on the wishes of the superiors.

"Okay, let me know if there is any progress."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone. When he just came back, his energy seemed to be interrupted, and he became sleepy.

"Director, take a good rest, maybe there will be good news soon."

Yang Xiaotao persuaded that this matter should not be rushed.

In other words, you can't have too much hope, otherwise, once you are disappointed, Yang Youning's busy body will definitely not be able to bear it.

"it is good!"

Yang Youning is as good as he is, the main reason is that the double eyelids started to fight.

Yang Xiaotao left and gently closed the door.

Yang Youning sighed, what he wanted was very simple, that is, to sell this pressure cooker abroad, not only to earn foreign exchange for the country, but also to make the steel rolling mill famous.

You must know that the current domestic means of earning foreign exchange are rare metals in addition to food.

The export of such resources does not help the country much.

How much foreign exchange can farmers earn if they even hand in their rations?

It's a pity that things are beautiful in thought, but it's another matter to do it.

Leaning on the chair, Yang Youning covered his body with the coat and relaxed slowly.
At noon, Yang Xiaotao and Wang Fa went to the cafeteria for dinner.

After the Chinese New Year, the food in the cafeteria has obviously improved. There are two dishes in each window, one meat and one vegetarian.Try to let the workers have some meaty oil and water, so that they can work hard.

This also shows that the rolling mill has made a lot of profits, otherwise this piece of 'meat' would be enough for the rolling mill.

Yang Xiaotao ordered a portion of braised pork, another order of potatoes, mixed the two dishes together, and then ordered two large steamed buns.

The people around him were not surprised to see him, firstly, Yang Xiaotao was rich and could afford it, and secondly, everyone knew that Yang Xiaotao had a big appetite.

Of course, the amount of alcohol is not small.

Sitting with Wang Fa, and Lao Huang beside him, they all buried their heads in eating.

Yang Xiaotao pushed the braised pork aside, first ate the steamed buns with the soup, waited until one of the steamed buns was eaten, and then began to eat the potato cubes.

Finally, he put the braised pork into his mouth piece by piece.

Until the largest piece remained in the lunch box, Yang Xiaotao put it into his mouth with chopsticks, and chewed it carefully.

The mouth is full of meat all afternoon.

"Director Yang, Director Yang!"

Just as Yang Xiaotao was tasting the taste, Xiaoqiang's secretary outside the cafeteria ran over quickly, looking anxious.

"I'm here."

Yang Xiaotao stood up, handed the lunch box to Wang Fa, and walked up quickly.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Xiao Yang, the factory director, someone from above is here, you should hurry to the office."

Yang Xiaotao ran to the office immediately after listening.

After trotting to the door, Yang Xiaotao wiped his mouth with his hand before walking in.

In the room, Yang Youning was wearing a coat, his eyes were bloodshot, but his cheeks were drawn to the sides, and he was excited.

Wang Guodong was sitting beside him, and Zhao Chuanjun was beside him.

On the opposite chair is Liu Huaimin and a capable middle-aged man.

"Xiao Tao, come quickly."

Seeing Yang Xiaotao coming in, Liu Huaimin hurriedly greeted him, and at the same time introduced to the middle-aged man beside him, "This is Comrade Yang Xiaotao from the rolling mill, the designer of the pressure cooker."

"Xiao Tao, this is Director Zhong of the Propaganda Department."

"Hello, Comrade Yang Xiaotao, I've heard about your name a long time ago. When I met you today, you really are a hero born of a young boy. A young hero is amazing."

Director Zhong had a smile on his face, and he quickly stretched out his hand.

Yang Xiaotao took advantage of the opportunity to hold Director Zhong's hand, "You're always flattering the kid, I'm still a good guy, I can't be a hero."

"Don't be humble, what you do, our publicity office is very clear, it's just that some things are inconvenient to publicize, but this time it's different."

"You are always being polite. I just fulfilled the responsibility of a revolutionary worker. With the help of the leaders of the rolling mill. All the workers and comrades helped me to achieve the current results."

"We have seen the efforts of the workers, but your contribution will not be short."

"Thank you"

The two were courteous to each other, Wang Guodong and Zhao Chuanjun looked at each other, Yang Xiaotao's ability to talk is really amazing.

After the two finished talking, Liu Huaimin started to talk about business.

"Director Zhong brought good news this time."

Immediately Director Zhong took over the topic, glanced at Yang Xiaotao, and began to preach.

"We have learned about this incident."

"After many efforts by the superior and the mediation of the other party, both of us have used the friendship pot as a bridge of communication, and the other party plans to buy our pressure cooker."

Following Director Zhong's explanation, everyone in the room felt their breathing speed up.

After Director Zhong finished speaking, the coat behind Yang Youning had slipped off, and Wang Guodong clenched his fists.

It's finally done.

"So, this time I am here, in addition to being entrusted by my superiors, to conduct a complete interview."

Director Zhong looked at Yang Xiaotao seriously again, "There is one more important task."

Yang Xiaotao was a little apprehensive after being watched by Director Zhong many times in a row. At this time, when he heard that there was a task, Yang Xiaotao refused in his mind.

Because this is likely to go to the other party, and nine out of ten are to help build a factory for raw tea pressure cooker.

However, now I can only listen.

"Considering various factors, the communication between us is declared to be a non-governmental organization, not an official one."

"The day after tomorrow, which is International Women's Day, our country's women's representatives will go to the other country's capital for non-governmental exchanges and present Women's Day gifts."

"The superior instructed that this pressure cooker is one of them."

A few people listened to the words of the director of the Propaganda Department and turned several corners, and finally understood that the pressure cooker of the rolling mill was going to go abroad with the women representatives this time.

Then the two sides take this opportunity to improve their relationship, and even the entourage will reach some kind of agreement.

"So, shall we provide a pressure cooker?"

When Yang Xiaotao heard that he didn't have to go by himself, he suddenly regained his energy.

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's words, Director Zhong nodded affirmatively, but then shook his head again.

"Yes, it's just that this pot needs to be different, representative and unique."

After Director Zhong finished speaking, the office fell silent again.
