Scholars in the courtyard

As soon as he gritted his teeth, Yang Xiaotao saw that the credits column instantly turned into double digits.

Then, in the system space, a brown wooden box was placed quietly.

Yang Xiaotao decided that when he got to his new residence, he would wash his hands and rub them vigorously before driving.

"It would be great if my wife is by my side. Then my luck will not be bad."

…

"Dear Mohammed, it's so nice to see you!"

It was dawn, and the car was parked outside a manor. The courtyard wall surrounded by low fences probably couldn't protect even a rabbit.

Looking around, it looks like a wilderness.

Yang Xiaotao got out of the car and looked at the two people hugging each other in front of them.

It was a middle-aged man with a slender beard and a big belly. The two hugged each other and showed false smiles.

"Dear Li, I'm very happy to see you too!"

The two clapped their shoulders and talked for a while before Li Shengli came forward with someone.

"This is the Secretary of Commerce, Mohammed."

Li Shengli introduced, while Mohammed put his right hand on his chest and said hello in half-baked Chinese.

"Welcome, everyone!"

Everyone quickly bowed their heads and were polite.

"Oh, what did I see? God, this is, this is definitely, a great creation!"

Suddenly, Mohammed looked at the truck behind everyone, his eyes couldn't pull it out immediately, and he kept sighing.

Li Shengli was translating on the side, with an expression on his face that he knew it would be like this.

"Li, do you still have a car like this?"

"Li, we are friends!"

Mohammed looked around. This car was so beautiful. Not only was it beautiful, it was also big enough.

Such a car has always been a dream in his mind.

"Mohammed, calm down, calm down."

Li Shengli smiled and said, "This is decided by others. If you need it, I will order one for you when you get back."

"Really? That's a shame."

Mohammed shook his head. He knew the goals of people like Li Shengli.

It is also clear that the financial gap between the two countries is not a personal relationship, but a huge difference underground.

Sometimes, he hated his ancestors. Why did they throw away that golden place in the first place?

"Li, keep your word!"

Li Shengli nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, with our relationship, it will be no problem to give you one when the time comes."

"That's wonderful!"

"When I drive it, it will definitely be the most beautiful thing on the grassland."

The two laughed together.

Li Shengli didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Kazakhstan itself was an important partner of their Ministry of Commerce. Through here, more markets could be opened up.

As for the truck, there might not be one exactly like it, but with his knowledge of trucks, it would be easy to conquer these guys on horseback.

"This is Yang Xiaotao and his wife, who are also the main people on this trip."

"The rest are their guards."

Li Shengli started to introduce, and Mohammed glanced at Yang Xiaotao and showed a kind smile.

"Welcome, Mr. Yang Xiaotao!"

Mohammed stretched out his thick fingers and stepped forward to shake hands.

As Yang Xiaotao approached, the smell of mutton on his body immediately made Yang Xiaotao's nose uncomfortable.

Out of politeness, Yang Xiaotao still stretched out his hand to hold it.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Mohammed."

After the two met, Mohammed greeted everyone into the manor.

"This is where my father lived when he was alive. Even though he is a little old, I come back every year to live for a while."

"There's everything inside. If you live here, there will be no problem."

While talking, several people came to the inside of the manor.

"The first floor is the dining room and living room, and the upstairs is the residence. By the way, there is also a study room."

"Well, there are a lot of books inside, which were left behind when the old man was here. If you have nothing to do, you can go in and have a look."

Li Shengli was translating word for word on the side. When he mentioned the study room, Yang Xiaotao's eyes lit up.

Nothing else, but a place to sleep!

At this point, Mohammed whispered into Li Shengli's ear, and they both laughed at the same time.

Yang Xiaotao and the others didn't care and walked straight into the house.

Mohammed came to the room and began to introduce everyone one by one.

Yang Xiaotao and others followed behind. This style, which was very different from that of China, really aroused everyone's curiosity.

For a moment, there was no sleepiness at all.

"There is some food. I will ask someone to bring some mutton and vegetables, but you have to do it yourself."

When he came to the restaurant, Mohammed looked at the potatoes on the ground and the ashes on the stove, and smiled sheepishly.

"It doesn't matter, we'll just stay one night and leave tomorrow."

"Mohammed, I need to trouble you again."

"Li, we are friends. Saying this is too foreign!"

Li Shengli smiled, but he felt contempt in his heart. All the activity funds of their department were given to this fat man!

Soon, Yang Zhi and others began to clean up the room. There were more rooms here than in a hotel, so there was no need to crowd them together.

"Oh, this is my old man's study."

Seeing Yang Xiaotao walking to the east room, Mohammed immediately smiled.

"Can I come in?"

Yang Xiaotao spoke in English, and Mohammed nodded, "Of course, you can read the books here as you like."

"Thank you very much."

As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao pushed open the door, and a breath of time hit his face.

The two of them fanned themselves in front of them, and Mohammed even ran over to open the window to get some air, and then smiled sheepishly.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the room. The space inside was not small.

There is a table, a lounge chair by the window, and the rest are bookshelves.

And the bookshelves are full of books.

"There are so many books here!"

Mohammed walked over and nodded, "It's a lot, but it's useless."

"Why didn't it work?"

"Hey, when the old man followed the team into Bolin, he thought he could get some more things, but he arrived late, so he was sent to guard some library."

"The old man is also the one who won't suffer any loss."

"So, just pull back some of the books inside."

Speaking of this, Mohammed showed a proud smile on his face.

Yang Xiaotao also felt a desire in his heart.

"Hey, these books are all in German. Even the old man can't understand them, but I'm willing to put them here!"

"Just put them on display. When you see these books, you can recall those days."

"This can be regarded as the glory of my life!"

Muhammad was a little sad at the end, and at the same time he was a little proud.

Driving tanks on Boleyn Street, marching in front of the building, showing off one's strength, this is what a man should do.

Yang Xiaotao ignored Mohammed who was trapped in some illusion, but walked into the study and looked at the books in the room.

Although it is covered with dust, although it looks a little yellow, although some of it is dilapidated, some has fallen to the ground, and there are still places on it that are wet and wrinkled by water.

But the German-language book titles on the yellowed paper made him feel hot-skinned at a glance.

"Mechanical Sound"

"The Art of Forging Steel"

"Controllable Space of Precision Instruments"

…

Fortunately, Yang Xiaotao studied German with Ran's father for a period of time, and he was also studying German materials during this time, so he could understand it clearly.

The more clearly he saw, the more Yang Xiaotao felt that his inhalation was a bit long, his chest kept bulging, and his heart began to beat faster.

"Yang."

Mohammed came back to his senses and saw Yang Xiaotao staring blankly at the bookshelf, so he asked, "Can you understand?"

"Uh, I can understand a little bit."

Yang Xiaotao still stared at the bookshelf, glanced over it, and replied softly.

"Can I take a look?"

"Uh, okay, I'm fine."

"Feel free to look at it!"

Mohammed tilted his head indifferently, then turned around to look for Li Shengli, who wanted to tell him about the truck.

Yang Xiaotao closed the door and walked to the bookshelf.

Xiaowei came out of her pocket, hissed twice, and started to clean up the house.

"This is…"

Yang Xiaotao glanced at the bookshelf, and then looked at a thick book tilted in the corner, feeling a sense of familiarity.

He remembered that when Ran's father was looking for books on machine tool improvements for him, he got the information from Mr. Qian.

Among them, there is such a book.

It's just that the book is missing a bit, especially the last part.

He quickly stepped forward, took it off the bookshelf, blew the dust away from the book, and carefully opened the pages.

"That's right, that's right!"

The first few pages are the same as what I saw.

Then flip through it quickly until you get to the last part.

"Sure enough, it does!"

When he came to the desk, Yang Xiaotao sat down and looked at it carefully.

Xiaowei has already cleaned up and is cleaning other places.

Outside the house, Mohammed was saying goodbye to Li Shengli.

He came here specially today because he had many things to do.

"I won't come to see you off tomorrow. As for what you said, I will arrange it for you."

Mohammed said seriously, and Li Shengli expressed gratitude, "Thank you."

"You're welcome. I wish you all the best on your trip."

"Thanks!"

After looking at the big truck again, Mohammed got into the car and left the manor.

Back in the room, Li Shengli took a look and asked, "Where is Comrade Yang Xiaotao?"

"I'm reading in the study room."

"Reading a book? Okay."

Li Shengli thinks reading is good, as long as nothing happens.

"Captain Yang, you should make arrangements for safety. I'll go see what's available to eat!"

"OK!"

Several people quickly arranged it and started working on their own.

And Yang Xiaotao looked at the books carefully as if he was fascinated.

Read page after page. If you don’t understand anything, use a pencil to circle it.

If there are any words you don’t recognize, circle them.

Yang Xiaotao has forgotten that this is not his study room, and he has even forgotten that this is not his own property.

In fact, when Yang Xiaotao stepped here, he had a feeling that these books should not be gathering dust here, and the essence of this book should not be buried in the dust of time.

I even feel that these essences representing knowledge are placed in this idle manor and placed on the decaying bookshelf. It is simply a blasphemy to them and their creators.

These books and this knowledge should be passed down so that more people can understand them.

Wow

Turning over the page, Yang Xiaotao looked at the words on it carefully, savoring the essence of the words strung together into language, with a wonderful smile on his face.

At noon, Tang Mingyue was busy in the kitchen. To be honest, she only had a slight understanding of cooking.

But here, if you expect Yang Zhi and others to cook, you might as well drink soup.

On the side, Shi Qingsong was holding a machete and cutting the mutton.

It has to be said that Mohammed sent people to deliver a lot of things, including mutton and mutton chops.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."

Shi Qingsong approached and asked. Tang Mingyue was rubbing her face. After hearing the sound, she turned back to look at the others. When no one noticed, she smiled and said, "Xiao Tao calls me Sister Tang. You can just call me Sister Tang."

Hearing this, Shi Qingsong confirmed that it was a mission.

"Brother Tao told you about me?"

"Well, I say you are a trustworthy and good comrade."

Shi Qingsong suddenly felt a surge of heat in his heart.

"Sister Tang, Brother Tao has been inside all morning. Why don't you go in and take a look?"

After hearing this, Tang Mingyue looked in the direction of the study room. When Yang Xiaotao arrived here, he dived in.

I gave him water twice, but every time I went in, I saw Yang Xiaotao reading seriously.

She also asked what these books were for, and then Yang Xiaotao excitedly picked up a book at random from the bookshelf and talked excitedly about what could help him improve his mechanical knowledge and what could make up for his shortcomings. She read I don’t understand, but I understand these books are very important.

Especially that look, it was as crazy as seeing a peerless treasure.

An image of Yang Xiaotao sitting in front of the window, looking quiet and serious appeared in his mind.

"I'll call him."

Just when Tang Mingyue was about to go over, the study door opened and Yang Xiaotao walked out.

"Brother Tao, you're out."

Shi Qingsong held up the knife and smiled. Yang Xiaotao saw the two of them, and then greeted Yang Zhi and others beside him.

"I'm hungry, come out and find something to eat."

After saying that, he looked at the mutton on the chopping board and the dough being kneaded.

Tang Mingyue thought that Ran Qiuye had told her that Yang Xiaotao's cooking skills were no worse than those of the chefs, so she immediately took two steps and said, "We are about to cook, you came at the right time."

It seemed to Yang Xiaotao that he only wanted to find something to eat when he came out. He ate quickly and continued reading. After all, he only had one day and one night here.

But seeing Tang Mingyue's appearance, she told him to take action.

Looking at the other people, who looked like they were waiting for their meal, Yang Xiaotao knew that the matter was over.

There is no other way. If you want to fill your stomach, you have to do it yourself.

Rolling up his sleeves, Yang Xiaotao walked into the kitchen.

Tang Mingyue took the initiative to start.
