Scholars in the courtyard

Yanzhou

Under the night, the cool breeze blows.

It's been hot all day, and finally it feels a little cooler at night.

The busy construction site finally stopped. The forklifts drove aside, and the workers who had eaten were busy doing maintenance. There were also a few people in military uniforms nearby, studying hard.

From now on, this will be their car.

Yang Huaimin looked at the dark night, as if he wanted to penetrate the dark night and remember everything ahead.

I have been here for more than three months, and I have seen with my own eyes how the hills were flattened, the soil was moved to fill the pits, and thousands of people braved the wind and sand here, enduring hardships and hardships, and finally achieved the current results.

Gaoqiang is here, there are workshops, there are machines and equipment shipped in, workers are being recruited, and the local area has begun to organize production...

Everything is starting to go on the right track.

Now, he could say, mission accomplished.

I have an explanation for the First Machinery Department, and I can live up to the expectations of the elderly.

Looking back, the past is like the wind.

He knew that if he left this time, he might not come back again.

But what he experienced here was the deepest memory in his heart.

Turn around and look at the person coming behind you.

"Lao Liu, Director An, I'll leave this to you."

"We must ensure that the steel plant goes into production smoothly. I am in Sijiu City, waiting for your good news."

Behind him are Liu Jun and An Zhongsheng, who are responsible for security.

Behind them, there were several people who came to see him off.

Originally, An Zhongsheng was going to go back to Sijiu City with him, but there was an additional task that required building a small converter, so the return time had to be postponed.

Of course, Mr. Xia and his party were also going back with Yang Youning this time, so they were not alone on the road.

"Director Yang, don't worry, next time you come here, this will definitely be a steel base."

Liu Jun patted his chest in assurance.

During this period, he communicated more with Yang Youning, and their relationship quickly heated up.

An Zhongsheng also nodded, "Director, have a nice journey."

"Um!"

Yang Youning didn't say much, just looked at the dark night ahead.

Thinking about it when I came out, it was cold and freezing, with wind and sand flying around. Now that I am about to go back, I don't know if the appearance of Sijiu City is the same as before.

In the past, when I went there, it was raining and snowing; now when I come to think about it, the willows are lingering.

The five flavors in my heart are complicated.

I don’t know what the machinery factory is like now.

"Those two guys know that they are going back, so they don't know how to be happy!"

Thinking of Liu Huaimin and Yang Xiaotao, Yang Youning couldn't help but laugh.

Although I suffered a lot during this trip, without the burden of piles of documents in the office, my body was able to move freely and was in better condition than before.

"gone."

"Take care."

Yang Youning said to Liu Jun, then took Wang Hao into the car and headed to the train station.

There, Mr. Xia and his party waited for them to meet up and then returned to Sijiu City together.

Forty-nine cities.

Yang Xiaotao came to the office early in the morning, ready to finish the business and go to the Minzu Hotel.

In the afternoon, we went to Jinmen for exchange. Then we took a bus to Sijiucheng and stayed at the Minzu Hotel.

As a member of the exchange group, Yang Xiaotao had to attend in the afternoon. As for Ran Qiuye, he rode there in the morning, saying he was going to rehearse.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know what to be positive about. It would be great to be like him and save worry and effort.

Before he could finish processing the documents on hand, Liu Huaimin walked in from outside.

"Xiao Tao, Lao Yang's train today, this guy is finally willing to come back."

As he spoke, he sat aside, took out a cigarette and started smoking.

Yang Xiaotao raised his head, "Really? Isn't it the day after tomorrow?"

"Well, tomorrow night if it's early."

"This old Yang is finally back!"

After receiving Liu Huaimin's confirmation, Yang Xiaotao immediately put the documents in his hands on the table, picked them up, sorted them twice, and then placed them in the corner of the table.

He leaned back on the chair, stretched out, and took a deep breath.

Then he walked aside, sat next to Liu Huaimin, and poured the tea himself.

Liu Huaimin knew at a glance that he was going to leave these things to Yang Youning.

Liu Huaimin didn't point it out, he thought so too.

This guy has been wandering around for more than three months. He has been facing a lot of documents all day long, and his eyes are so tired that he can't justify not keeping this thing for him.

"Where's Uncle Chen? I can't see him lately."

Yang Xiaotao also took out a cigarette, and the two sat together and chatted.

As for work, let’s wait until Lao Yang comes back.

"He is probably going to Lao Xu's place, where he needs to receive petrochemical equipment, so he led the people there early in the morning!"

"Petroleum equipment? The production line has arrived?"

Yang Xiaotao immediately became more energetic. Why did they buy motorcycles?

Why not exchange for better chemical equipment?

Although there are other benefits, for the machinery factory, this is the biggest benefit at the moment.

Liu Huaimin nodded, "The superiors considered our factory's contribution, so they provided some equipment."

"The rest were taken to the northeast, which is close to the crude oil production area and can be refined nearby!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded. He also understood that the scale of the Red Star Chemical Plant was still too small to absorb so much petroleum equipment. He was interested in seeing if he could spy on it and then imitate it with these equipment.

"How is it? Is it better than before?"

"I don't know, but I heard that Lao Xu didn't sleep well all night, and now he stares at him in the workshop all day long. He is very old."

"That must be fun!"

"With better equipment, our chemical plant has made great strides forward!"

"Yes, this old Xu is very strong at heart."

The two talked for a while, then Liu Huaimin stood up and left, while Yang Xiaotao sat back at his desk. Instead of continuing to handle matters, he took out a book from the drawer and looked leisurely.

Ring ring ring

Just when Yang Xiaotao was flipping through the book, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

"Hey! Lao Hong!"

"Uh, uh, uh?"

Yang Xiaotao only listened for a while, and his expression became serious.

"Lao Hong, are you kidding me?"

Lao Hong on the other end of the phone could hear the surprise in Yang Xiaotao's words, and his face became more proud.

It shows that what he did is big enough.

"Mr. Yang!"

"No, just call me Xiaotao."

"Okay, I have considered this matter carefully. Now if the second branch factory wants to develop, it must take a step forward, throw off its arms and rush forward."

"The steel plant is an important restriction. The steel we use needs to be reported to the superiors first, who will then investigate, review, and then approve it. The steel plant has to get a task before it can open the furnace. This is not the same as in the Four-Nine City , their output here is not high, and they maintain the minimum output standard every month..."

"It will take five or six days to complete the lap. Now that Lao Wang is watching, we will kill first and then tell the story later, but this is not a formal matter. We have to think about the future..."

"Also, there is a strong demand from the steel plant for the merger to come in. I asked Lao Fang to bring someone to negotiate, and we hit it off really well..."

Lao Hong was talking on the phone, feeling very excited.

Of course, there is another reason he did not mention, and that is to use the big tree of the machinery factory to develop the industry in the northwest bit by bit.

As Lao Hong spoke, Yang Xiaotao finally digested the information.

However, there was no less surprise in my heart.

I thought that Teacher Hong did not go to the Northeast for his reasons, but went to the Northwest in advance, which would change the trajectory of his life.

But I didn't expect that people in the northwest corner were still doing well.

Sure enough, gold will always shine, it just lacks sunlight.

"Okay, I understand this matter. I will report it to the superior. I believe the leader will not refuse."

There is no reason to refuse such a good thing.

Yang Xiaotao asked again about the current situation of the factory, and the two talked for a while. Overall, the development momentum was very good.

"By the way, Lao Hong, did you receive the photos I took of your daughter when I went back last time?"

A year later, Teacher Zhang gave birth to a daughter. On the 100th day, Ran Qiuye went back to congratulate her, took a photo of the mother and daughter, and handed it over to her.

"Got it, got it!"

Lao Hong grinned and looked at the photos on the table, feeling warm in his heart.

"By the way, there is also good news, our Yangjiazhuang Primary School..."

The two talked on the phone for more than half an hour, and Yang Xiaotao didn't know why he had so much to talk about.

After hanging up the phone, Lao Hong sat aside, took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked slowly.

In this life, let’s not talk about the first half of my life, which was filled with bullets and bullets. When I recall it, there is always unspeakable sadness.

Just saying that in recent years, since he was sent to the countryside, he has felt an indescribable grievance in his heart.

But he never gave up on himself and kept waiting for the light to come.

I thought I would be alone in the dark for a long time, but I didn't want to be transferred to Yangjiazhuang. Everything changed.

He recalled the past in his mind, but his eyes were focused on the present.

Director Hong suddenly came to pick up the photo on your desk. The appearance of the little daughter was so clear and cute.

"Welcome to this new era, my little cutie!"

…

"Old Liu, this is the situation!"

Yang Xiaotao sat on a chair and recounted what he had just said on the phone. When Liu Huaimin heard half of it, he couldn't sit still.

Now I am walking step by step.

He could see that this was an opportunity, an opportunity for the machinery factory.

If things go well, the development prospects of the Second Branch of the Machinery Factory will be no worse than that of the chemical factory.

"Do you think Mr. Huang will agree?"

Yang Xiaotao curled his lips, "Do you think he has any reason to disagree?"

"Yes, that's right. I guess everyone would agree with this kind of solution to local difficulties."

"Not to mention it's just a small steel factory!"

Liu Huaimin muttered to himself and continued to pace in the office.

"Tell me, should we send someone to do such a big thing?"

After a long time, Liu Huaimin stopped again, somewhat undecided.

If it was anything else, he really had nothing to worry about.

But he doesn’t know about the northwest side.

If it becomes a burden, the machinery factory's surplus food is also limited.

"I can't go. I'm attending some party these two days. The research institute will open in two days. There will be armored vehicles and research machine tools..."

"Stop, stop, stop..."

"I know you're busy, so there's no need to say anything!"

Liu Huaimin quickly stopped. If he continues to listen, this guy will definitely be pushed out of his current job.

The two of them were silent together.

Suddenly, as if they had discovered gold at the same time, they looked at each other and said, "Lao Yang!"

"Old Yang!"

shouted at the same time, and then the two of them laughed knowingly.

Then he went out at the same time, and Liu Huaimin reported to his superiors to finalize the matter.

Yang Xiaotao picked up the phone, contacted Mr. Xia before he left, and then explained the matter concisely and clearly.

Although Mr. Xia was surprised when he heard this, he did not refuse.

When he came to Yanzhou this time, Mr. Xia also felt that the development of northwest industry was in decline. The machinery factory was doing the same thing as the Sijiucheng Steel Rolling Mill, concentrating resources to do big things.

He also learned about the man from the Second Branch of the Machinery Factory from Mr. Huang and knew he was a capable person.

So it's not surprising that he did this.

With Mr. Xia done here, Yang Xiaotao is waiting for news from Liu Huaimin.

After a while, Liu Huaimin walked in with a smile, "Huang Lao agreed quickly after hearing this."

"We are currently meeting with the leader in charge of northwest work, but the general direction is fine, but the details still need to be discussed."

"It's very appropriate to let Lao Yang go over and take charge of the overall situation."

Liu Huaimin smiled and Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I don't know what Lao Yang thinks."

"What else can I think? I must scold my mother."

Hahaha

After Liu Huaimin left, Yang Xiaotao looked at the documents arranged on the table and shook his head helplessly.
