Scholars in the courtyard

"Okay, good boy!"

"Come on, grandma, give me a hug!"

After saying that, he picked up Dragon Boat Festival and reached into his pocket to take out a handful of toffee.

In an instant, the woman's tears flowed down.

Seeing this, Zhang Qing quickly stepped forward and introduced, "This is my dad. My eldest brother Zhang Kangzhan, and my second brother Zhang Shengli!"

"Uncle!"

"Big brother, second brother!"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the three of them. They were all about the same height and had average skin color.

Just look at Zhang Qing, this girl couldn't be picked up.

Yang Xiaotao put down the child and handed it to Ran Qiuye, and then met Zhang Wu and the others.

"Why!"

"Okay, good boy!"

"Knowing that you were coming, your aunt and grandma didn't think twice about it. They were talking about it at home every day!"

The two anti-war brothers nodded in response. When they first learned that they had such a relative, they were still very excited.

But after his father fell behind, Yang Xiaotao became someone else's child in the eyes of his parents, which made the two brothers feel a little unable to let go.

You know, the young man in front of you has a higher rank than your grandfather before he retired.

What's important is how old this guy is!

After the few people finished speaking, Zheng Chaoyang looked around and then stepped forward, "Let's talk about it when we go home!"

When Zhang Wu saw Zheng Chaoyang, as well as Hao Pingchuan and Bai Ling beside him, he also remembered the old man's explanation, instinctively looked around, and then said to his wife who was talking to Ran Qiuye next to him, "It's too noisy outside, let's go first Go home and don’t keep your parents waiting.”

Yang Xiaotao also reacted, "Yes, let's go back first!"

Several people also reacted, then quickly got in the car and rushed to their residence.

Yang Xiaotao and others followed Zhang Wu out of the platform and came to the car.

In order to pick up Yang Xiaotao, Zhang Wu specially asked someone to borrow a minibus. After putting his luggage away, he got on the bus and drove out of the train station.

Along the way, Yang Xiaotao and Zhang Wu sat together, while Ran Qiuye and several women sat in a group, chatting with each other about topics of interest.

The car was driving very fast. The sun had set and the street lights had not yet been turned on, but the shops on both sides had already turned on their lights, gradually illuminating the entire street.

There are various billboards hanging on both sides, as well as small vendors nearby, exuding enticing aroma and noisy sounds, making passing cars unconsciously open their windows.

There are classic cars parked on the street corners as you pass by, as well as a variety of old buildings, filled with a rich historical atmosphere.

The crowd is bustling, some are strolling, some are discussing deals, and some are enjoying life.

There are children dancing in school uniforms and red scarves on the street, lively girls with twin tails, and teenagers carrying schoolbags chasing each other and playing around.

Young men and women in simple clothes would laugh like silver bells from time to time.

There are also a few blond and blue-eyed people dotting the streets, giving people a sense of the unique style and taste of old Shanghai.

In this bustling city, whether it's the evening breeze along the tree-lined boulevards or the fishing fires on the riverside, everyone feels warm and comfortable.

Seeing the scenes in front of him, Yang Xiaotao finally understood what was the difference between this place and Sijiu City.

That's a kind of romance!

A romance that blends East and West!

A romance that combines humanities and technology!

A romance where prosperity and retro complement each other!

Here, you can experience the purest side and feel the most essential color of life.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the high-rise buildings that kept passing by. The density was even higher than that of the Forty-Nine City.

Next to him, Zhang Shengli opened the topic and smiled, "Well, this place is different from Sijiucheng."

"Well, two feelings."

Yang Xiaotao turned around and said seriously, "The heritage of Sijiu City, the prosperity of Shanghai, every movement and silence are all fascinating."

After hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, Zhang Wu rubbed his head and said, "You cultural people are different when you open your mouth."

Jin Pingping, who was chatting with Ran Qiuye at this time, looked over, glanced at Zhang Wu, and then said, "You think everyone is like you, a big boss."

Zhang Shengli and the two brothers laughed, Zhang Qing was even more lively, "Yes, yes, mom is right, dad, you should read more books and less charts."

Zhang Wu was not angry at being squeezed by his mother and daughter, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "I heard from my father-in-law that the engines produced by your machinery factory are very good."

"Which one is my uncle talking about?"

"Um, are there many more types?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and then started to explain the single-cylinder diesel engine to the eight-cylinder diesel engine, which made Zhang Wu open his mouth.

"We produced a batch of four-cylinder diesel engines and gave them to the logistics comrades, and they said they would be put on the assault boats."

Snapped

Zhang Kangzhan immediately patted his thigh after hearing this, "Dad, even the last batch was given to the north, but we didn't catch any of it."

"You mean those swordfish speedboats?"

"Yes, that's them."

After Zhang Kangzhan confirmed, he looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "Lao San."

Now they are ranked in seniority. Yang Xiaotao is younger than the two of them and older than Zhang Qing, ranking third.

"Do you have any spare engines there?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You don't have to ask, how come there isn't such a big factory?"

Before Yang Xiaotao could say anything, Zhang Wu interrupted, then looked at Yang Xiaotao with a smile on his face, "What kind of engine is this? It's not Xiaotao's job to say a word."

"Right."

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao felt that the evaluation he had just given to this big boss was a bit lacking.

"This, as long as there is a mission, we have no reason to refuse."

Zhang Wule grinned. In the past, because of the relationship between his father-in-law and his father-in-law, they had to do all these things closely to the automobile factory in Shanghai. All task orders were given to the automobile factory, but the effect was worse than the saury fish in the northern coastal defense area last time. Far.

The speed is not fast, and the battery life is not good either. That is to say, the recently developed gasoline engines are good, and if it breaks down, there is no need to worry about replacement parts.

"That's it."

Zhang Wu smiled, he still had some power in this regard.

However, Zhang Qing on the side heard what his father meant and immediately came forward, "Dad, you don't need the car factory anymore, then I have to go back and talk to grandpa."

"This is an elbow turned outward."

Ahem

Zhang Wu covered his mouth and coughed. The second son Shengli next to him knew that his father's 'virtue' was eaten by these two women at home, so he quickly helped and said, "Little sister, what you said is No, why are you turning outside? Is this Xiao Tao an outsider?"

"Yes, third child."

As he spoke, he winked at Yang Xiaotao, who nodded with a smile.

"Yes, as long as uncle is willing."

Zhang Qing curled his lips and said no more.

While several people were talking, the car had already arrived in front of an apartment.

"Comrade Yang Xiaotao, we won't go in."

"Next, if you need to go out, you'd better tell us. We can make arrangements in advance."

Zheng Chaoyang looked at the car approaching the family area and spoke seriously.

For them, regardless of whether they could find the enemy and remove them, ensuring Yang Xiaotao's safety was the top priority. After this trip, they were finally halfway done.

As for the opponent's lack of action, perhaps the enemy was concerned about their existence and did not find a better opportunity.

But they won't let up.

"clear!"

Yang Xiaotao did not ask how to notify. He believed that there would be many people watching around.

"Thank you for your hard work along the way!"

Hao Pingchuan shook his head, "It's okay to work hard, as long as nothing happens to you!"

After saying that, he looked at the puppy in the cage at his feet, and he was very greedy.

"If you have another puppy, you must leave one for me!"

"Well, it depends on how many babies there are!"

Yang Xiaotao did not agree immediately, because too many people wanted to go out, so Lou Xiaoe should have complained for a long time.

Not to mention everyone else.

"Anyway, remember that this happened."

Hao Pingchuan said seriously.

It seems that Yang Xiaotao and Lao Zheng are ordinary people.

They are all smart.

But in the past few days of interaction, I felt more sincere than Lao Zheng. I would definitely follow what I said and what I should do.

In this regard, they are very similar to people in Shanghai. They don't agree easily, but they will definitely do what they promise.

When the car stopped, the three of them did not step forward, but walked to the side.

There, a car was parked, and inside it was Yu Zecheng, who had arrived earlier.

After Yang Xiaotao got off the bus, he saw two old people standing at the door, and beside them there were two women leading three children.

At this moment, the two old men were staring at the car.

For a moment, Yang Xiaotao felt an indescribable emotion in his chest, constantly impacting his heart.

Ran Qiuye stepped forward, held Yang Xiaotao's hand and walked to the front.

Zhang Wu and others stood behind the two of them holding their children.

"Xiao Tao!"

A voice full of excitement and uncontrollableness sounded, and then a woman wearing white half-sleeves and reading glasses stepped forward, calling Yang Xiaotao's name.

As if his legs and feet were out of control, Yang Xiaotao led Ran Qiuye forward quickly.

"Lingling, Lingling, I saw your child, Lingling."

The woman's voice became louder and louder, calling Yang Xiaotao's mother's name.

Plop

Yang Xiaotao and the two came to the old man and couldn't help but kneel on the ground, "Grandpa, grandma, I, my substitute mother, are here to see you."

Yang Xiaotao's eyes were moist, and he kowtowed to the approaching old man.

Ran Qiuye also kowtowed.

"Son!"

The old woman also sat on the ground and immediately hugged the two of them.

"I found it, I found it, my son, my son."

Lao Jin on the side was also crying. He quickly stepped forward and stretched out his rough hand, touching Yang Xiaotao's appearance, as if he was looking for the appearance of his little daughter back then.

Ren Na's heart, which was full of trauma, was also aroused with deep self-blame and full of sadness at this moment.

Behind her, Jin Pingping was also wiping her tears, and Zhang Qing was crying in his father's arms.

Others are also concerned.

"Mom and Dad, our sister's child is back, we should be happy."

Jin Pingping stepped forward to help the old woman up, and Yang Xiaotao and the other two also supported the old woman. Lao Jin on the side looked at Yang Xiaotao's appearance, especially his eyebrows, and kept nodding.

"Is this your boy?"

"Yes, the nickname is Duan Wu, and the nickname is Yang Gain. These are my two daughters, twins."

Yang Xiaotao brought the child over to recognize him.

The two old men became close again, touching the two children from time to time.

"Like, the eyes and nose are really similar."

The old woman looked at the twins, especially when she saw her sister Yueyue, and muttered, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "My daughter looks like my father. This child's eyebrows are the same as your mother's when she was a child."

As he spoke, his eyes turned red again.

Jin Pingping hurriedly urged her to go into the house.

Finally, he took Yang Xiaotao's hands and walked into the house.

Everyone came to the house, the table was filled with fruits, and then they began to get acquainted.

In addition to the two elderly people, there are also Zhang Wu and his wife, followed by Zhang Kangzhan's family of four, Zhang Shengli's family of three, and Yang Xiaotao's family of five.

Children are the easiest to get close to. After a while, after getting to know each other, Duanwu ran out to play with his two brothers and one sister.

Rongrong Yueyue also wanted to follow out, but was hugged by Ran Qiuye.

As everyone sat down, the old woman began to talk about what happened back then.

"Back then, I took your mother and aunt to the countryside to escape, carrying a pole and two bamboo baskets. Your mother sat in the back, and there was food in the front. I took your aunt here."

"Then I bumped into the Japanese plane. The man was confused and I was knocked to the ground and passed out."

"When I woke up, there was no one around me. Then I found your aunt, but I couldn't find your mother."

"Then I walked around the surrounding area, looking for it."

At this point, tears flowed down again.
