Scholars in the courtyard

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao came out of the conference room.

Today's meeting will be open from morning to noon, and after lunch, it will be open again in the afternoon.

Although the people in each meeting are different, the basic content is the same.

That is to expand the scale.

In the words of Yang Youning, in the past month or so, various workshops have adapted to what they should have adapted to, and it is time to speed up.

Coupled with the stimulation of steel plants, the demand for steel in machinery plants will be greatly alleviated in the future. With sufficient steel, steel must be turned into machines, equipment, and wealth.

In today's meeting, there are three main goals achieved initially.

First, the second workshop is responsible for machine tool production and will manufacture two more Venus machines before the end of the year, bringing the number of Venus machines to six.

There are two semi-automatic milling machines, one each for Hong Mill No. 1, Hong Chong No. 1, and the newly launched air compressor. The remaining one is used for the manufacturing of other equipment.

Second, Hongxingpai’s diesel engines and tractors will increase their output, and their output will be doubled before the end of the year.

To this end, the machine tools produced in the second workshop are given priority to equip the two workshops to maximize mechanized production.

Third, speed up the construction of the distillation tower of the chemical plant. Now one of the twin stars has been lit up, and it is still eye-catching. This has made several people in the machinery factory look forward to the chemical plant.

Xu Yuanshan secretly held his breath for this.

The success of the steel plant put him under pressure, and now was the time to turn pressure into motivation.

Yang Xiaotao observed Xu Yuanshan's expression in the conference room. He knew this old superior very well. Even though he kept quiet, he valued honor more than anyone else.

I guess some comrades in the chemical plant will suffer from it in the future.

After leaving the conference room and returning to the office, I saw Lou Xiao'e packing her things and getting ready to go home.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the time and saw that it was not yet o'clock, "Are you going to get off work now?"

"Ah, no, this isn't preparation."

"What are you preparing for? A blind date?"

Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes at Yang Xiaotao, "Who are you going on a blind date with? Can I like ordinary people?"

Then he went out, "I made an appointment with Liu Lixue to go to the cinema tonight."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the exit door and said, "It's great to be single."

After cleaning up, Yang Xiaotao went to the workshop and talked with Wang Fa, Li Nan, Xing Jiaqi and others. Everyone had a good idea of ​​the next work. As the saying goes, the more you do, the better the benefits will be during the New Year.

In this matter, last year's New Year's goods, the steel rolling mill was the best around.

As for this year, it goes without saying that even a worker can tell that it is definitely better.

After saying goodbye to a few people and agreeing to go home for a drink another day, Yang Xiaotao drove back to the courtyard.

As soon as he put the car away, he saw Yu Li coming back from outside, accompanied by Yan Jiecheng. It was obvious that she was going to her husband's house to pick up her daughter-in-law, but Yu Li looked like she was reluctant.

Looking at Yang Xiaotao from a distance, Yu Li lowered her head, and Yan Jiecheng just nodded and walked into the yard.

This time when Yan Jiecheng went to the village to help, he felt indescribably gloomy.

I don’t know what I encountered in the countryside.

After passing the gate, Yan Fugui was still at the door looking at the gate, but today he looked different from the past, and he no longer had the energy to worry about the courtyard.

There is only such an old man in the courtyard now, and he has a certain status in the courtyard. Of course, it would be better without him.

Yang Xiaotao looked at Yan Fugui carefully and wondered, has this old man changed his gender now?

Or is there glue on the stool and it won't come up?

I was thinking of saying hello to Yan Fugui when I passed by. The other person glanced at me, straightened his waist, said something and came back, and continued to sit.

Yang Xiaotao didn't say much and walked towards the middle courtyard.

As a result, before I passed the Chuihua Gate, I heard Mrs. Jia Zhang’s cursing voice. Is this old godly woman back today?

When they came to the yard, they saw Mrs. Jia Zhang sitting under the big locust tree, with her legs splayed on the ground, kicking up the dust on the ground. Her body was unkempt.

"Someone come quickly, someone come quickly."

"Come and see, my daughter-in-law is abusing her mother-in-law, she's unfilial, she's unfilial."

Jia Zhang was thrashing on the ground at the top of her lungs. Looking at the ground around her, she must have been sitting there for a while.

Yang Xiaotao walked in, glanced at Mrs. Jia Zhang, and then saw Qin Huairu leaning on the aunt's pitiful look at the door, and immediately understood what was going on.

When Jia Zhang saw it, she just looked at him resentfully, and then continued to shout regardless, "Old Jia, look at it, outsiders bully me, and my family also bullies me, how can I live?"

"Dongxu, please come up and take care of your troubled wife. She is embarrassing our family."

Yang Xiaotao happened to pass by the faucet, and when he heard this familiar 'line', he immediately laughed.

Not far away, everyone was watching the excitement, especially Wang Dashan and his family, as well as Xiao Liu's wife holding her child, and Liu Yuhua also carrying a fire stick. When they saw Yang Xiaotao laughing, they all started laughing too.

In an instant, apart from Jia Zhang who was sitting on the ground, and the two people at the door of the aunt, the whole courtyard was filled with laughter.

When we came to the yard, Zhang Laodao was sitting in the yard, holding a jar in his hand, enjoying himself.

"Old Taoist, do you have any spells in your Taoist arts that are similar to summoning the dead?"

Yang Xiaotao came closer to ask, and several spectators around him pricked up their ears when they heard it.

"Summoning of the Dead?"

Zhang Laodao thought about it and quickly shook his head, "Yes, there is, but I don't know how."

"No? You haven't mastered this technique yet. Take a look."

Yang Xiaotao pursed his lips and looked at Jia Zhang, "I'm very good at summoning the undead. I can call the men in the family to come up at every turn."

"Isn't it great?"

Zhang Laodao was speechless and put down the tea cup with a solemn expression, "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, if you disturb the souls of the dead, your life span will be shortened."

The sound was not loud, but Jia Zhang, who was not far away, just heard it. The sound stopped suddenly, as if her throat was stuck, and she could no longer say what she just said.

The laughter around him became even louder, and from time to time there were several children running around.

"Come here, you are unfilial. Qin Huairu is unfilial."

After a moment, Mrs. Jia Zhang came to her senses, slapped the ground again, and screamed.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao also figured out the cause of the matter.

In the morning, Mrs. Jia Zhang came back from the countryside. During lunch, she saw the cornbread and felt nauseated, so she wanted Qin Huairu to buy some meat.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu directly said that he had no money.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was not happy. When she went to the village, she left her pension book behind because she was afraid of losing it. But now, Qin Huairu said that all the money had been spent. Why did Sophora japonica spend money when she caught a cold? Bangge needs money to go to school, and he also needs to eat and stuff.

In a word, the pension fund is gone.

That's what happened now.

They were noisy at home for most of the afternoon. Finally, Qin Huairu couldn't bear it anymore and took the three children to the aunt's house. Jia Zhang ran out and scolded her in the yard.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at Qin Huairu, and Qin Huairu happened to look over, and their eyes met. Qin Huairu quickly lowered his head and continued to wipe the corners of his eyes, pretending to be pitiful.

"No wonder Yan Fugui's butt is so heavy."

"However, since Jia Zhang is back, Xu Damao must be back too."

Yang Xiaotao asked. When the two never came back, people in the courtyard knew that these two guys must be up to no good.

"I came back in the morning, but I took my wife back to the countryside at noon."

Wang Dashan beside him said that people in the courtyard basically ignored people like Xu Damao.

"Let's go home and drink."

No longer paying attention to the bullshit in the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao invited the old man to go home for dinner.

Things at the steel plant are over, and the machinery plant is moving forward on the right track. Yang Xiaotao has been busy for a while, and it's time to take a breath and run his life.

After hearing this, other people in the courtyard also went home to cook.

Not long after, there were only a group of idle old people and a group of lively children left in the courtyard, still looking at Jia Zhang and cursing.

At the door of aunt's house.

Qin Huairu's tears were like spring water, not many but constant.

"Auntie, I~~"

Qin Huairu, full of grievances, poured out her helplessness and grief to her aunt.

The aunt glanced at Jia Zhang and sympathized with Qin Huairu.

"Don't worry, she won't be able to cause trouble in a while."

Qin Huairu nodded, and then followed the aunt into the house.

Anyway, she earned her own money, so if she wants to eat meat, it depends on her mood.

Jia Zhang was always paying attention to Qin Huairu's movements. Seeing this, her scolding became even worse.

It didn't take long for Jia and Zhang to yell and curse.

The smell of meat and food in the air made Jia Zhang, who had been eating steamed buns all this time, feel like her stomach would pop out.

That's not all. The other dishes at home were pretty average, but Yang Xiaotao's specially made braised pork made her greedy tongue uncontrollable.

After a while, Mrs. Jia Zhang got up and ran home.

If she stayed any longer, she would definitely be starved to death.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao went to work as usual. After get off work, he drove back to Yangjiazhuang.

Today is the beginning of winter, and tomorrow happens to be Sunday again. I am spending time with my wife and children at home.

In the courtyard, Mrs. Jia Zhang no longer dared to mess with what happened yesterday. The main reason was that she could see the present clearly and no one would do what she did.

In other words, without Yi Zhonghai in this courtyard, no one cares whether she makes trouble or not.

As for Yan Fugui, he didn't want to see her at all.

Moreover, she was also afraid that Qin Huairu would really leave him alone.

Really scared.

After dinner, Qin Huairu packed things at home.

Jia Zhang was in contact with Bang Gang, but she didn't know what she was thinking. Anyway, Bang Gang didn't want to talk to her at all.

After clearing away the dishes, Qin Huairu saw a figure walking out of the yard. She wiped her hands calmly and went out after a while.

Outside the alley, Qin Huairu saw Liu Guangqi lighting a cigarette and playing with a few children, so he smiled and stepped forward to say hello.

Liu Guangqi also smiled and nodded. The two of them looked normal, and no one around them thought anything of it.

After a while, there was no one around, and Liu Guangqi whispered, "Sister Qin, you have to help me with something."

Qin Huairu turned her back to Liu Guangqi, "What's the matter, tell me."

"You know that guy Yang Xiaotao, right?"

"Why are you mentioning him? He is just a 'grievance bag'. His mind is as sharp as a needle, and he will remember every little thing for a lifetime."

Naturally, Qin Huairu had no good words to say about Yang Xiaotao. Liu Guangqi chuckled after hearing this, "That's right. Whoever uses Sister Qin knows how good she is."

"It's nonsense. Hurry up and say what's going on. My old lady is still watching."

Liu Guangqi nodded. Regarding Jia Zhang, he knew how difficult it was to deal with him.

"Didn't you listen to the radio? Yang Xiaotao's skills are so fucking amazing."

Liu Guangqi explained his meaning as quickly as possible.

Qin Huairu listened and thought secretly in her heart.

Liu Guangqi said that if he wanted to get better prospects in the factory, he relied on the technologies developed by Yang Xiaotao, so Yang Xiaotao's research information was helpful to him.

As long as he has this information, his status in the factory will be better, and he will be able to earn more money and give her more.

"Sister Qin, you have to help me with this."

"You have to be quick, otherwise, I might not be able to eat anymore."

Liu Guangqi thought of the cold feeling on the back of his head and knew that this was definitely not a joke.

"Okay, I get it."

Qin Huairu saw Yan Fugui coming out of the door, nodded and left.

Liu Guangqi didn't say anything and continued to smoke.

After returning home, Qin Huairu slowly thought about it.

Steal Yang Xiaotao's things?

The consequences are too serious.

Just look at Banggeng and you will know that one eye is just gone.

And this is to steal things in the house, not in the yard.

If caught, Banggeng is still young and is just disciplining him, but he is an adult.

Qin Huairu thought of the consequences and immediately gave up the idea of ​​taking action himself.

But Liu Guangqi gave too much, more than Shazhu and Yi Zhonghai.

Although I have paid a lot, the value is the same.

She didn't want to lose Liu Guangqi as her sponsor, she didn't want to live a life of hunger and hunger, and she didn't want to sweep the streets from dawn to dusk.

Therefore, the data must be corrected.

So, I can’t go by myself, Jia Zhang?

This old pious woman will only do bad things if she knows.

That's all it is, awesome stuff.

Anyway, since he is young and exposed, he can go and have free food and accommodation.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu looked at Banggeng with a smile.

A big boy like myself is not useless.
