Scholars in the courtyard

Yang Xiaotao parked the car and entered the courtyard with his bag.

Before they could pass through the hanging flower door, they saw Xu Damao pushing his bicycle, pulling the projector, and walking out with his head lowered.

The two of them passed by each other, Xu Damao curled his lips, lowered his head and walked out quickly without speaking.

Apparently he went out to show movies to people.

Yang Xiaotao ignored Xu Damao. This guy had obviously kept a low profile since he came back from the countryside.

Of course, it could also be that without Si Zhu, his enemy, he would not be able to work hard.

Back in the yard, I saw Duanwu sitting in the snow from a distance, holding a snow dumpling in his hand and throwing it at Wangcai, smiling while throwing it back, but he couldn't hit Wangcai. The snow dumplings were thrown aside.

Yang Xiaotao walked in in two steps. The little guy was obviously stunned when he saw Yang Xiaotao, and then continued to play.

The next second, Duanwu felt his body appear in mid-air, and then Yang Xiaotao carried the cotton-padded jacket into the house.

"This little guy is playing outside, don't worry."

Yang Xiaotao put the Dragon Boat Festival on the chair, stretched out his hand and slapped his buttocks to brush away the snow.

Then the cotton pants were already wet.

When Ran Qiuye saw them, he could only put his two girls down and come over to help.

"You don't know, this guy poked at the stove in the house and let him get on the kang, but he climbed down by himself. He's so capable."

Ran Qiuye complained, and Yang Xiaotao saw that the little guy was taking off his cotton trousers. The long johns underneath were not yet wet. He was struggling to go to the kang to see his sister.

Without thinking, he slapped his little butt and said, "Be honest."

Dragon Boat Festival didn't cry either, watching the two sisters turning over and giggling.

When Ran Qiuye saw it, he quickly put the cotton pants on the radiator to bake, then ran to the bed and watched.

At this time, the mistress was turning over, lying on the kang, humming, raising her head to look at Yang Xiaotao and the others, pouting her buttocks, and actually crawling back.

"Look, there is a capable person who started crawling in just six months. You guys named Yang are really amazing."

Ran Qiuye reluctantly went over and picked up the mistress whose face was almost on the kang, and then put her down again to lie down.

As soon as she put it down, the second child on the other side also turned over, but she was much more agile than the third child and could already move her left leg.

Of course, it’s also crawling backwards.

This is the same as when Dragon Boat Festival was a child.

When they first came out, the elder sister was lighter than the younger sister, but now they are almost the same size, but the second child is less playful and the third child is more active.

I thought that the third child was more dexterous than the second child, but I didn't expect that the second child learned faster than the third child.

Talent is such a hard thing to say.

"These two are also careless. They will flip around if they are not paying attention. I have been doing the right thing with the three of them all day."

Ran Qiuye said helplessly, but Yang Xiaotao walked to the kang with Duanwu in his arms, "It's okay, look at that naughty guy, just hit him hard."

Ran Qiuye glanced at Yang Xiaotao, "Are you willing to give up?"

"Why can't you let go? Look."

After saying that, he slapped Duanwu on the butt again. The little guy was holding out his hand, but the mistress grabbed his fingers and put them in his mouth.

After being hit by Yang Xiaotao, he quickly retracted his hand, his eyes filled with tears.

"Don't touch my sister if your hands are dirty!"

Ran Qiuye looked at it and felt aggrieved for Duanwu. It was obviously the mistress who reached out to grab it.

He could see that the men in this family did not care for their sons and their daughters.

If you don't obey, you'll be beaten. I guess you said it to Dragon Boat Festival.

Then Yang Xiaotao put the Dragon Boat Festival aside, then picked up the second and third children and sat on the kang, leaning on pillows behind them. The two children could just sit down.

Then, with Yang Xiaotao's efforts, the three children sat in a row, and Yang Xiaotao pointed at himself, "Dad."

Pointing to the Dragon Boat Festival again, ‘brother’.

While Ran Qiuye was preparing dinner, he heard the voices of "Sister is Yueyue" and "Sister is Rongrong" coming from the house, and a smile appeared on her lips.

After eating, the two put the child to sleep and then went to bed to rest.

"Time flies so fast. Tomorrow is the last day of this year."

Yang Xiaotao hugged Ran Qiuye and felt quite emotional.

Although it's cold outside, it's warm under the covers.

"Yeah, it will be 65 years soon, so fast."

"Watching the children grow up little by little, time seems to have a shape."

Ran Qiuye leaned against Yang Xiaotao's chest, sweat could still be seen on his forehead, and the blush on his face gradually faded.

During their sage time, the two often chatted about things in life.

Especially children's matters are a common topic between the two of them.

"When does school get out?"

"Hurry, little time."

"That's really fast."

"I heard that your factory is going to hold a competition? Many workers in the yard are talking about a mysterious prize for the first place, and they are all guessing what it is."

Ran Qiuye held up the quilt and asked curiously.

Although there were no lights on in the room, with Yang Xiaotao's eyesight, he could see clearly where he was propped up.

By the way, the biggest change he has witnessed in his wife over the years is that her figure is getting better and better.

Especially the jade pendant, which is well hidden.

"I really don't know about this."

"Ask Lao Yang, he doesn't know. He just heard that it was a reward given by the leaders above."

Yang Xiaotao stretched out An Lushan's hand, "But it's definitely not a bicycle. This thing is a little short of a mystery prize."

"So mysterious?"

"Yeah, I don't even know what it is, so it's mysterious."

"oh!"

"However, I know there is a more mysterious place."

Yang Xiaotao suddenly smiled mischievously, and Ran Qiuye was stunned for a moment. He thought of something before he could speak. Then the quilt was pulled up, and with exclamations, the two began to discuss the mysterious place.

One night passed, Yang Xiaotao got up, sent Ran Qiuye and the child to Ran's house, and then drove to the machinery factory.

Today is an important day for the machinery factory. As a relevant leader, it is natural to go there early.

It snowed yesterday, and the ground was frozen this morning, so you had to be careful when driving.

After putting the car away, Yang Xiaotao came to the office wearing a coat. He saw Yang Youning wearing a Chinese tunic suit, with his hair neatly styled, and he looked particularly energetic.

"Uncle Yang, you look energetic."

Yang Youning laughed, "You're not bad either, you have the same demeanor as when I was young."

Yang Xiaotao smiled bitterly after hearing this, "We have never seen what you were like when you were young."

It is not easy to find a wife.

"Lao Yang, go to the gate quickly, get ready for someone to come."

Chen Gong's voice came from the door. Yang Xiaotao took a look. He was also dressed in fine clothes and looked very coquettish.

"Let's go together."

"By the way, Xiaoqiang, let people get ready."

Yang Youning pulled Yang Xiaotao out, not forgetting to remind Xiaoqiang.

When a few people arrived at the gate, a motorcade was already coming in from the outside.

After Zhao Chuanjun led people to conduct verification, the people in the car got off and entered the machinery factory greeted by everyone.

"This is a brother department of our First Machinery Department."

Liu Huaimin looked at the people on the sign-in list and explained to Yang Xiaotao and others.

"This time, a total of 138 people from our machinery factory participated in the competition, and there were about 120 brother units from the First Machinery Department."

"In addition, there are more than 80 people from the Third Machinery Department, 103 from the Logistics Department, and fewer from the Seventh Machinery Department, with only 48 people participating in the competition."

"I calculated, almost five hundred people participated this time."

"As for the major events, there are thirteen, and these are also the events in which the main personnel participate."

Liu Huaimin explained on the side, but Yang Xiaotao was more concerned about those people with "unique skills".

"How many are left showing off their 'unique skills'?"

"All walks of life, forty-seven in total."

"It's so little, less than one-tenth."

Yang Xiaotao thought there would be a lot, but he didn't want it to be so small.

"Just be satisfied. None of these people with unique skills are the treasures of the factory. If they can show them this time, it will be considered as a favor to our machinery factory."

Yang Youning said on the side, another truck was put in by the security office in front of him, and several people came forward to greet them, being polite to each other.

"Uncle Zheng, are you leading the team this time?"

Not long after, Yang Xiaotao saw Director Zheng leading some people from the Three Machinery Department and hurriedly came forward to see him.

"No, I'm here just to watch the excitement. The leader is our boss."

"Just in time, you will be the referee when you come. We are still worried about finding someone."

Yang Xiaotao pushed Director Zheng to Yang Youning and explained the situation. Yang Youning naturally invited him politely.

Director Zheng finally had no choice but to agree.

After a while, Yang Xiaotao smiled at Yang Youning and ran to a truck, "Dad, you are here."

Father Ran smiled and patted Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder, "Did you send the child off this morning?"

"Well, I can't see Akiha alone at home."

"That's right. That guy at Little Dragon Boat Festival has a strong energy at first sight, so you have to watch him carefully."

"No, I slapped you twice last night!"

"Oh, the child is still young and can't remember it even if beaten. He still needs education."

The two of them chatted in front of the car for a while, and then waited for everyone from the Seventh Machinery Department to arrive before walking to the workshop under the leadership of Ran's father and another director.

Of course, Ran and his father were also invited to be part of the referee team.

After a while, the brigade of the Third Machinery Department and people from the logistics department also came over.

The referee team has absorbed several more directors, and the team has grown rapidly.

Half past nine in the morning.

All the people attending the event arrived, and there was a row of check marks on the sign-in table for Liu Huaimin.

The only ones left are the leaders attending this time.

At about 9:40, two trucks riding on escorts entered the machinery factory first, and then took charge of security together with the personnel of the security department.

Behind the truck were small jeeps, about seven or eight of them.

The car stopped, and Mr. Xia and Mr. Sun got out of the car one after another.

bang bang bang

‘Welcome, welcome, warm welcome. ’

As the propaganda director raised his hands, workers on both sides of the road waved red flags in unison, while others clapped their hands vigorously.

Yang Xiaotao stood at the front and kept clapping his hands.

After everyone in the jeep got out, the car moved out of the way.

Then came the car in which Mr. Huang and the others were riding.

When Huang, Lao Zhang, Lao Qin, and Lao Wang got out of the car one after another, the applause around them became more intense.

Mr. Huang also raised his hand and stood with Mr. Xia and others, lining up their hands.

Obviously, this position is particular.

"It's Mr. Chen."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the car behind him and was recognized the moment Mr. Chen came out of it.

"That's true, otherwise they would be so enthusiastic and exchange technology, tsk tsk."

Yang Youning said happily.

It was as if he admired his foresight.

As Mr. Chen got out of the car, strong applause erupted from the surroundings again.

Yang Xiaotao clapped his hands and prepared to go forward to greet him.

I went to find that there was another car behind Chen's car.

"Wait a minute, there will be more."

Yang Xiaotao grabbed Yang Youning who came forward, and looked at the expressions of Huang Lao and others. The applause that never stopped made him more certain that there would be bigger figures coming from behind.

Yang Youning also noticed it and quickly looked back.

"It can't be~~"

Looking at the strong man getting out of the car, Yang Xiaotao's palms became stagnant and his voice became confused.

"Xiao Tao, who is it?"

Yang Youning shouted excitedly. In his opinion, the bigger the leader comes, the greater the help to their machinery factory.

"Big, big chief."

Yang Xiaotao opened his mouth wide, a little unbelievable.

Who would have thought that the old man would actually come here.

"What is it"

Yang Youning was just about to ask, and then he saw a thin old man wearing a black windbreaker getting out of the car.

He knew this person.

On the wall of his house, there are pictures of four people, one of whom is this person.

bang bang bang

The next second, people around him who recognized the old man's identity suddenly raised their hands.

At this moment, the originally uniform applause became chaotic and violent.

Everyone wants to use their greatest strength and fastest speed to make the loudest sound.

Even though his palms were numb, he didn't stop, just watching the gentle old man walking forward steadily step by step.

bang bang bang bang

Yang Xiaotao and Yang Youning leaned together, and the palms of their hands were patted red.

"Xiao, Xiaotao, can I go up?"

"Go up. You'd be a fool not to go up."

Yang Xiaotao raised his feet and walked forward, and Yang Youning quickly followed.

"Okay, also, when we shake hands later, be sure to take a photo of me. This is the most, most, most important thing."

Yang Youning whispered, his face turning rosy with excitement.
