Scholars in the courtyard

"By the way, this is it."

Lou Xiaoe suddenly felt shy, lowered her head and wanted to look at her toes, but unfortunately it was difficult.

"Don't tell anyone about this."

Yang Xiaotao naturally guessed that Lou Jingtang didn't want to get involved.

Lou Xiaoe nodded.

"Then tell me why."

"me"

Lou Xiao'e was even more ashamed, and finally said, "I. I'm a Dragon Boat Festival lady. A family, ha ha."

Yang Xiaotao shook his head with a smile, this Lou Jingtang has counted on his daughter's temperament, so he will definitely say it.

Really, silly moth.

"Don't tell anyone about this, your father doesn't want to cause trouble."

"I know. I told you, and no one else said anything."

"Well, go back and thank uncle for me."

"Huh? All right!"

Lou Xiaoe still didn't think about it, why did she tell her father, but Yang Xiaotao didn't want to explain.

Since Lou Jingtang said that there are European machines among those machines, it is not necessarily that there are no tungsten alloys.

Maybe Lou Jingtang thought so too.

No matter what, always look for it.

After going out, Yang Xiaotao went directly to the office next door.

In the room, Yang Youning was really discussing with Wang Guodong about the workshop, and seeing Yang Xiaotao coming in, the two stopped talking.

"How, is the blueprint finished?"

Yang Youning took out a cigarette, and looked at the expression on Yang Xiaotao's face, it was completely different from the previous expression of frowning and bitter hatred.

Yang Xiaotao took the cigarettes directly, took out two and gave Wang Guodong one.

Wang Guodong looked at the cigarette box and sighed mentally.

I've been here for so long and I haven't seen Lao Yang holding a cigarette. This kid has treated him differently since he came here. It's very Lao Yang.

"Director, Uncle Wang, I want to ask you something."

After lighting a cigarette, Yang Xiaotao tried to ask.

"My father told me when he was still alive that our factory wasn't here before, right?"

Yang Xiaotao blamed everything on the dead father, and no one could find fault.

Yang Youning was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in response, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Where is the original factory? I remember Dad said that when the little devil surrendered, he blew up a batch of instruments and equipment, and I..."

slam
The chair slid back, and when Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Yang Youning stood up abruptly, with a wonderful expression on his face.

At this moment, Yang Youning's head was buzzing, and then buried in the deepest memory.

That year, he was asked by his superiors to carry out revolutionary work in the rolling mill. That year, the old factory manager brought them here who had come out of the war. That year, they had only a half-knowledge about managing the factory. Cross the river by feeling the stones.

Scenes from the past and meetings kept emerging.

It's just that when he came to the rolling mill, he had already moved here. As for what happened before liberation, he also learned a little from the old factory.

There are quite a few people who know about those things.

But most of them are old, or relegated to the second line, but not many.

At least, Wang Guodong in front of him is not clear.

He looked at Yang Xiaotao seriously and said, "You mean, there is a batch of scrapped equipment there and you want to find materials?"

Yang Youning knew that what Yang Xiaotao said about the dead father was purely a cover-up, and he knew exactly who said it.

However, at this moment he was more concerned about Yang Xiaotao's intentions.

If, if suitable materials can be found, the honors gained by their steel rolling mill will not be discounted.

"I want to go and have a look. I can find the best one, and it's nothing if I can't find it."

Yang Xiaotao wasn't sure if those equipments were still there. After all, steel was being smelted all over the country, and the waste equipment was donated to be smelted if they didn't have enough.

But it's better than drawing in the office.

"I'll call Sun Guo."

Yang Youning felt that asking this in advance would save money.

After a while, Sun Guo's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Old Sun, do you have a batch of damaged machinery and equipment in your branch factory?"

Yang Youning asked, Sun Guo on the other end of the phone was a little strange.

After all, it was a bit hasty to take up the post. After he took office, he was busy enough to dispatch personnel and organize production.

"I'll go ask someone and I'll call back later."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Guo immediately sent someone to find the logistics director.

At this time, Sun Guo was also wondering.

There was a lot of movement in the rolling mill, especially the establishment of a new project, and this time it was directly approved.

"It's amazing!"

With a few words of emotion, Sun Guo became increasingly optimistic about the prospects of the steel rolling mill.

Of course, he has no regrets about coming to the No. [-] branch factory, and is even very satisfied with his original decision.

Because here, there is a stage for him to display his talents.

"Director, you are looking for me!"

After a while, the director in charge of logistics ran over, glanced at the director, and Sun Guo nodded.

This person was specially promoted after he came to the first branch factory. He is upright, serious in work, and manages the logistics very well.

"Well, Xiaolu, do you know that our factory has broken equipment?"

"Broken instruments? There are not many machines in the library. Over the years, many machines have had accidents. Our factory has someone to repair them. If they can't be repaired, they will be put inside!"

"I mean the old ones, leftover machines."

"previous?"

Director Lu thought for a while, and then suddenly said, "Director, are you talking about the scrap iron in the broken kiln? It is said that it was left from the Jiefang card, and it was blown up later, so it was thrown in there. Tube."

"Originally, last year I thought about turning it over to the state for scrap metal, but later I found it too troublesome, so I didn't report it."

When Sun Guo found out that it was really there, he immediately said, "You should find someone to clean it up right now, and someone will check it later."

The director was taken aback, "Check? Those things have been left unattended for more than ten years, how can you check this?"

Just seeing Sun Guo's dignified expression, and thinking of the cleaning of the first branch factory a few days ago, he ran out immediately.He didn't want to make a mistake because of this.

Sun Guo then called Yang Youning and explained the situation.

Rolling mill

Yang Youning hung up the phone, feeling a surge of hope in his heart.

"Things should still be there, you take a few people to have a look."

"By the way, let Liu Daming go with him. He used to stay in a steel mill before, and he just happened to go to the branch, so he didn't miss it."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and soon Liu Daming and Wang Hao arrived, accompanied by Pang Guo, who has researched steel, and heard Wang Hao talk about going down to find steel, so he followed after he had nothing to do in the warehouse.

The four got into the jeep, Wang Hao drove, Yang Xiaotao explained the situation, Liu Daming and Pang Guo felt a sense of expectation in their hearts.

A branch factory.

The logistics director looked at the dilapidated brick kiln, which was covered with dust, and he could vaguely see iron pieces scattered around the corner.

This is an open space behind the factory, surrounded by villagers who have planted corn, and there are some garbage left by children in the broken kiln.

With the situation in front of him, the director looked back at the seven or eight support staff who followed, most of them were women, and after some mental calculations, he asked people to clean up the surrounding area first, and then went back to the factory to call for help.

Not long after, when the director came to the broken kiln again, there were three people behind him.

It was Yi Zhonghai Shazhu and Xu Damao.

"Comrades, here are materials that are very important to the country. We must not miss a single one, clean them all up, and wait for the inspection by the superior."

"Comrades, for the sake of revolutionary construction, let's all work hard, come on."

Director Lu shouted slogans, and several people in the logistics department around him responded one after another.

Silly Zhu glanced at Xu Damao, curled his lips and shouted in the same way, a good man doesn't suffer from immediate losses, and a good attitude is also helpful for his reform through labor.

The three of them yelled a few words, and then they entered the broken kiln and began to clean it up.

"Master, what is this place? Why is there such a thing?"

Shazhu endured the stench coming from inside and used a branch to push a black thing aside. Xu Damao was hit by the black thing and screamed. He jumped up immediately. He just glanced at the people around him and said bitterly, "Silly Zhu, please watch carefully and don’t get dirty things on revolutionary comrades.”

Sha Zhu sneered and said, the daughter's punch hasn't been thrown out yet.

This grandson is also a ghost and has been avoiding him. If the director hadn't called him out, who would have known he was hiding in the ditch?

"Master? Master?"

"Ah, oh!"

Yi Zhonghai was deep in thought, and after coming here, he looked familiar.

After walking into the broken kiln, looking at the scattered iron pieces on the ground and the machines piled up under the turning head, I suddenly remembered where it was.

The former site of the rolling mill!

I didn't expect that what I heard before really happened.

After hearing Sha Zhu's call, Yi Zhonghai reacted and looked at the iron piece in Sha Zhu's hand.

"Grandpa, if you are not used to it, you can start after me. There are quite a lot of these things."

"fine."

"This should be the place where the old factory abandoned broken machines. I heard people say that this was the former site of the rolling mill before liberation. Later, it was blown up by the little devils and it couldn't be used, so it moved to the city."

"What? These are all blown up by little devils? This **** little devil is no joke."

Sha Zhu scolded the little devil, but it was more because the little devil caused him trouble.

If they hadn't blown up the machine, he wouldn't have used it to work here, and he would have been guarding the toilet, how would he cope with it?

As for the feelings of family and country, he can't see it at all.

A cook can't die of starvation in a famine year, and a little devil must eat too.

"Hurry up and work!"

When the director's voice came from behind, Sha Zhu let out a sound in his heart, and hurriedly helped to lift the machine out.

The machines in front of me were all blown up to a state of disarray. Two or three people could lift the bigger ones, and one person could get 30 yuan for the smaller ones.

A dozen or so people helped to carry it out while cleaning it up. In the end, the rest were large pieces, most of which were buried under the ground, rusty and ugly.

After working for a while, Sun Guo brought a few people over.

Silly Zhu was resting aside, looked up, and immediately began to curse.

"Damn it, why did this bastard come here!"

Yi Zhonghai followed his gaze, and saw Yang Xiaotao walking quickly behind Sun Guo.

Xu Damao saw Yang Xiaotao looking at him with that glamorous look on the side, Xu Damao lowered his head and minimized his sense of existence.

"Xiaotao, it's here."

"Director Lu, this is Comrade Yang Xiaotao from the rolling mill."

Sun Guo introduced it earlier, and Director Lu immediately stepped forward to meet him, "Director Yang, you are welcome to inspect the work."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Sun Guo. The latter remained calm, but immediately understood. He went up to shake hands and asked, "Have you moved everything out?"

"Director Yang, most of them have come out, and seven or eight are seriously damaged but too big, so they haven't been cleaned out."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and then saw Sha Zhu squatting on the ground and grinning at him, ignoring the monkey, nodding to Liu Daming Panguo next to him, and the two left and walked to the cleaned up 'tack pile' to pick each other up.

"Master, what else are they looking for?"

When it comes to technology, Shazhu will always be the first in his heart.

"It should be looking for a component, or looking for materials."

Yi Zhonghai watched Liu Daming pick up a palm-sized fragment, looked at it and guessed.

"That's it? It's all junk. They come here to pick up scraps."

"Let us work hard to get it out, really"

Silly Zhu didn't say anything out loud, but Pang Guo suddenly shouted, "Team leader, look!"

"That's it, absolutely right."

Yang Xiaotao ran over quickly, looked at a finger-shaped iron bar, and examined it carefully.

"Pang Gong, are you sure?"

Yang Xiaotao suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked in a low voice, Pang Guo nodded vigorously, "That's right."

At this time, Liu Daming also came over with a piece of metal, "This one is too."

Behind them, Sun Guo saw that the two had found something, and asked, "Do you want to go in and have a look?"

The three nodded and quickly walked inside.

After a while, Yang Xiaotao's angry voice was heard.

"You little devils, I will grow mushrooms for you sooner or later."
