Scholars in the courtyard

"Oh shit!"

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao immediately cursed, regardless of Director Tian's presence.

With this cooperative attitude and these requirements, it is difficult to figure out how to use it, let alone learn it.

This trip was in vain.

A waste of time, a waste of favors, a waste of energy.

Director Tian on the side was also cursing in his heart, these protective measures must be too good.

There was no progress here, so Yang Xiaotao, Director Tian and Director Liu said goodbye and returned to their residence.

"Director Tian, ​​do you have any other information about this compressor?"

Yang Xiaotao could tell that the people in the factory were guarding her as much as they were guarding against Japanese soldiers. They didn't know the regulations and requirements, which made them very vigilant. They were strict about protecting the machines. Or for other reasons, they always felt very guarded against him.

So it is better to ask Director Tian for help from this factory.

"I don't know about this either. This compressor has been used for too long. I can't find the manual or anything else, and the information is even more scarce. Otherwise, our Third Machinery Department wouldn't just stick to this point."

"But in this case, what's the point of my coming here?"

"Just look at the usefulness of a technological process. I haven't learned anything really useful."

Director Tian was silent, and the two of them were relatively silent.

"well!"

After a long time, Director Tian sighed and then left the room, "I'll ask you again."

When Yang Xiaotao saw Director Tian leaving, his expression changed, and then he patted his chest, and then Xiaowei popped her head out of the cigarette case in her pocket, "Xiaowei, you go."

On the other side, Director Liu returned to the office with a tangled expression.

Thinking of what Director Tian said, the meaning is very clear. The higher-ups are no longer satisfied with their one factory holding back the industry. Now they are sending people to learn and try to imitate the machines. So next time, should they move the machines and send them to others? Go to a better unit?

But it was a bit unwilling for her to give up her current situation and make changes like this.

Everyone knows exactly what is the key to why their original family business is in its current situation.

Their family was able to obtain this benefit in the first place, and even after the liberation, they still had this job. The people in the family were able to avoid open and covert attacks, and this machine played a major role.

But the current situation could not help her not to think about the worst.

Right now, all she can do is protect this machine and prevent problems. As for other people who want to imitate it, then just imitate it.

Anyway, there are not many imitations in recent years?

Without taking it apart and looking inside, who would know the structure inside?

I haven't heard of anyone making it.

Factory Director Liu thought of this, and the sadness on his face gradually disappeared.

bang bang bang

There was a knock on the door, and Director Liu looked up, "Please come in."

Director Tian appeared in the factory director's office.

"Director Tian."

"Xiao Liu, where is Secretary Zhang? Why don't you see him?"

"Lao Zhang, I'm not going to the meeting above. I think I'll be back in the next few days."

"Really, that's really unlucky."

Factory Manager Liu stood up to pour water. Director Tian looked a little disappointed after hearing this.

If Secretary Zhang was here, he could still say a few words, but there was nothing he could do about this woman.

The two sat in the room for a while, just saying some useless polite words and asking about some situations.

Director Tian did not mention the information, let alone Yang Xiaotao’s needs.

Director Liu didn't say anything about it. After the conversation between the two ended, Director Tian returned to his residence and talked about the information. The disappointment on Yang Xiaotao's face could be seen at a glance.

When Director Tian left, Xiaowei emerged from the window. After telling what she had heard, Yang Xiaotao lay directly on the bed.

When he woke up, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Perhaps because he was sleeping, Director Tian and others did not disturb him, and they did not even call him for dinner.

After waking up, he rubbed his belly and looked at the dark sky outside and the constant sound of rain beating on the windows. Yang Xiaotao walked aside and turned on the light.

The yellow light bulb illuminated the room, and Yang Xiaotao sat on the bed, lost in thought.

After a long time, I picked up the notebook I recorded in the afternoon and looked at it carefully.

dong dong

There was a knock on the door.

Yang Xiaotao put down his notebook and opened the door, and Director Tian walked in with a lunch box.

"I asked you to have dinner at night. I knocked twice and there was no response. I knew you were asleep, so I didn't bother you."

"I just saw the lights turn on in your house. I want to bring you something to eat."

As Director Tian said, Yang Xiaotao quickly welcomed him into the house, "I came back and lay down to sleep, and I forgot to eat."

"It's normal. It's uncomfortable to ride in the car all the way here."

"Eat quickly, the noodles are specially made by the factory. You can still eat them with some hot water."

After putting the lunch box on the table and seeing Yang Xiaotao's notebook on the bed, Director Tian said no more, "You eat first, and I'll go back to bed."

"Okay, Master, walk slowly."

He picked up the lunch box and walked to the bed. When he opened it, it turned out that it contained solidified noodles and a hard-boiled egg on top.

Yang Xiaotao soaked it in hot water. After taking two bites, it tasted nothing, so he took out a bottle of beef sauce from the space and added it to it, and then sent the bottle back to the space.

suck

This noodle is so chewy and unpalatable.

However, this sleep made him sober.

The current situation before him was that the other party would not allow him to touch the machine, and he was not sure about dismantling it, and he did not even dare to think about it.

Really, this equipment is too important.

The thought of deliberately breaking it before repairing it was suppressed by Yang Xiaotao as soon as it came up.

What a joke, what if it can’t be repaired?

Then you are no longer a sinner.

So, forget it.

Let's go back and get an oxygen generator. Anyway, this is readily available and easy to use. It doesn't matter if the effect is not good, as long as it is more efficient than an open-hearth furnace.

Yang Xiaotao completely looked away. When he came out this time, he should just treat it as a trip and relax.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao closed his eyes and went to sleep.

Siheyuan

Qin Huairu was packing her things at home, seeing that most of October had passed. According to the street office, the people who went to the countryside to help before the end of October would be back.

At that time, Mrs. Jia Zhang will be back, and there will be another mouth in the family.

It's also very edible.

And with Mrs. Jia and Zhang around, she couldn't make certain things too obvious.

At least the 'clothes' in my hands must not be left behind.

It's just that Liu Guangqi was obviously very satisfied with his performance last time. In the end, he generously gave him a stack of food stamps. It was quite a lot to take home and count.

What if the other party doesn't like me without these clothes?

Or, the last time?

Qin Huairu thought about it, and the clothes in her hands were tightly grasped.

Thinking of the meat she had chewed off Liu Guangqi these days and the money that was gradually increasing in the box, she had to think about this family and the future.

Seeing that the children were all asleep, Qin Huairu put on the clothes in her hands.

Tomorrow is the weekend, and according to the rules, Liu Guangqi will usually come.

When Jia Zhang comes back in the future, there won't be many opportunities like this.

Outside Sijiu City, there is a coal yard.

Silly Zhu lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling.

The smell of smelly feet around him and the occasional snoring kept him from sleeping at all.

My heart was filled with worries and heavy discomfort.

Whenever he had some free time, he would think about the man next to Qin Huairu.

That man, his intuition told him, must have a special relationship with Qin Huairu.

A widow, a man.

The two of them came together. He was familiar with this plot.

When Xu Damao went to the countryside in the past, wasn't this what he enjoyed?

Although in his heart, Qin Huairu was not such a person.

However, when a man's suspicion arises, it is always accompanied by various conspiracy theories.

Silly Zhu is a normal man, and he has even done "abnormal" things. He naturally uses himself to save others, which makes him even more worried.

But who, he couldn't figure out.

But no one needs to worry about it. What he needs to consider now is whether he will have an extra hat on his head.

When Xu Damao put a hat on his head, Silly Zhu was very excited.

But if I really want to put this hat on my head, I will feel very uncomfortable when my body is crawling with ants.

"No, Huairu said when he came last time, wait for me."

"I'm overthinking it. I must be overthinking it."

Silly Zhu silently encouraged himself.

Then, he took out the five yuan that his aunt gave him last time and said, "Next time, go buy some meat and show off your skills."

"Try to go out again."

Silly Zhu thought in the dark night, then closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

In the long night, a woman's figure appeared in the dream, gradually blurring, but Shazhu gently called out the woman's name, 'Jingru~'

"Daughter-in-law! Good news!"

The door was pushed open. Qin Jingru was lying on the kang too tired to talk. When she saw Xu Damao running in, she ignored her.

Xu Damao closed the door. The room was much warmer. He walked to the table, picked up the jar, drank the bottom of the jar, and then said happily, "Good news, good news, wife."

"We're going back!"

"What? Are you going back to the city?"

Qin Jingru got out of the quilt and asked with a surprised look on her face.

"Yes, I just went to check with the village chief about today's work status. Guess what, the village chief received instructions from above and can arrange for people to go back next Monday."

"Next Monday, not the end of the month?"

"No, I definitely won't send them all back. I'm going to have a relationship with the village chief and try to get the first batch back to the city."

Xu Damao said proudly, and Qin Jingru was even more happy, "I'm finally going back, I'm finally back to the city. If I stay here, I will become a yellow-faced woman."

Xu Damao was also happy, "When we get back, let's live a better life. Then we will have two more boys and make that bastard Silly Zhu angry to death."

When Qin Jingru heard the last two sentences, her brows that had just spread tightened again.

She now seriously doubted whether Xu Damao could let her give birth.

It's not like that, just find someone else.

The next day, it was dawn.

Yang Xiaotao got up from the bed, his face regained its confidence, as usual.

There are some things that you won’t get into when you look at them.

Just like taking a step back, the sky will be brighter.

Why should I have trouble with myself?

What kind of perfection can you ask for?

Without liquid oxygen, there is still oxygen, as long as it can be used.

How can we spend so much time on this? Wouldn't it be better to go back and study the diesel engine?

Wouldn’t it be a good idea to study agricultural production tools?

No matter what happens, there is still equipment waiting for repair in the chemical plant. When the machine is repaired, maybe we can design and add another project to the machinery plant.

Why bother here?

And it's still meaningless.

Because of this, Yang Xiaotao is no longer firm about the goal of this mission. In line with the principle of learning as much as you can and not running in vain, relax your mind.

When I went out, I met Director Tian and greeted him warmly, "Director Tian, ​​are you going to eat?"

"Ah, oh, I was just about to ask you to eat."

As he said this, he looked at Yang Xiaotao. He felt completely different today compared to what he saw last night.

But this is good, at least there is no need to get into trouble.

To be honest, he also wanted Yang Xiaotao to build an air compressor.

But on the other hand, he is also afraid of breaking the current balance.

After all, there is only one such thing in the country. If it breaks down, even the chief cannot bear the responsibility.

This is why the chief made it clear that it cannot be dismantled.

"Let's go and see how the food in Jinling is. To be honest, the noodles we served last night were not as delicious as those made in Sijiucheng."

Yang Xiaotao said enthusiastically, and Director Tian also laughed.

The two of them came to the cafeteria talking and laughing. There were not many people eating in the morning, and they were all on duty at night. They ordered a piece of fried rice, then took a bowl of gruel and eggs and found a seat to sit down and start eating.

"Director Tian, ​​I finally understand. This trip will most likely be in vain."

Yang Xiaotao rolled the egg on the table, breaking the skin, and then peeled it off to reveal the pale white inside.

"It's a waste of time, don't talk nonsense."

"Why not? That's it. What can I learn? Just watching from the outside, I can't see anything."

After taking a bite of the egg, Yang Xiaotao didn't wait for Director Tian to speak, "I thought about it later and realized that it doesn't matter if I don't need liquid oxygen. Anyway, as long as it's oxygen, it's almost the same. It doesn't matter."

"This time, just treat it as a way to relax. After reading it tomorrow, we will go back the day after tomorrow."

Director Tian was stunned for a moment while holding the eggs, and then slowly started to eat them, "You decide what to do, I'm just here to take a look."

After saying that, the two continued to eat.
