Scholars in the courtyard

Hami City.

Hongxing Machinery Factory, Second Branch.

Director Hong arrived at the factory office early in the morning and began to tidy up the room. After finishing tidying up, he washed his hair and face. He also took off the putty coat he usually wore and put on clean clothes.

That way, it feels like a blind date.

The two sons were dumbfounded.

"Dad, you are shaving and washing your hair. What's going on?"

The eldest brother was wondering what was going on in his mind, "Dad, are mother and sister coming?"

Director Hong looked at his two sons and shook his head with a smile, "No, your sister is still young and can't ride in the car. She can come in two years."

"That is how the matter?"

"This! A very important guest is coming to our factory today."

"He is also the leader of the main factory. Dad, please clean it up. You can't show off to others like this slovenly person!"

As Director Hong said, he thought of something and then ordered, "You two go notify the directors of each workshop and ask everyone to take time to disturb the hygiene."

"Especially equipment management must comply with regulations so that comrades cannot be careless!"

Director Hong said, and the two looked at each other. It was unclear who would make their father pay such attention to him.

Not only did he change his style, but the whole factory also started working on it. How old is this guy?

I became even more curious.

After his two sons left, Director Hong had almost finished cleaning up. He picked up the phone again and called the steel plant and the chemical plant, asking the two deputy directors to come over in the morning.

After briefly explaining the situation, the two people immediately promised not to embarrass the second factory, but they felt a little uneasy in their hearts.

Yang Xiaotao's name is something I've heard a lot.

Although he sounds kind-hearted to everyone, if something really happens, he has a selfless side.

Both of them promised to come to the machine shop and wait after arranging the tasks.

After hanging up the phone, Director Hong took out two industrial coupons from his pocket, and then took out a stack of stamps from the drawer. There were food stamps, meat stamps, and alcohol stamps, all of which were his own salary allowance.

It's just that he is used to being simple and can save a lot every month.

Putting the ticket in his pocket, Director Hong walked to the restaurant.

"Director Hong, morning!"

"morning!"

"Hello, factory director!"

"You're so good!"

Greeting the workers along the way, everyone saw that Director Hong was in great spirits today and asked about the happy event. Director Hong just smiled and then came to the cafeteria.

"Lao Hong, my dear, I almost didn't recognize you!"

"What's wrong with you today? You're so energetic. What's wrong? What's the good news?"

Fangyuan was having breakfast in the cafeteria. Deputy Factory Manager Fang saw a person coming from a distance. He didn't see clearly at first, but when he saw clearly, he was surprised again.

When Director Hong saw Fangyuan, he was in charge of logistics, so there was no need to go to the canteen director.

"You happen to be here, so I won't go into the kitchen!"

Director Hong sat aside, then picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, "Today, prepare more delicious food, including meat and wine."

"Everything comes from me."

As he spoke, he placed a handful of money bills on the table.

But Fangyuan didn't move, and his face was even more surprised, "No, Lao Hong, if you have anything to say first, please tell me. This is nonsense, and I don't feel at ease."

Director Hong picked up the bowl in front of Fangyuan and took a sip of millet soup. After swallowing the steamed buns, he said with a smile, "I received a notice this morning that Comrade Yang Xiaotao is coming to take a look."

"who?"

"Comrade Yang Xiaotao, Yang Xiaotao from the main factory!"

"Oh my God."

Fangyuan immediately thought of something, "Then you have to be well prepared."

Then he saw the money on the table and pushed it back, "Old Hong, if you want to treat me, there are plenty of opportunities."

"No matter what you say this time, you have to listen to me. This meal will go out of the public account."

"Don't worry, nothing will be wasted. It will definitely meet the standards."

"As for the wine, hehe."

Speaking of this, Fangyuan smiled and said, "When Director Xiao Yang came, he drank the sorghum red brewed by me. When he left, I told him to hide a jar of it for him to come next time."

As he said that, he stretched out two fingers and said, "Two years, this hiding is two years!"

"This time, I finally got the chance!"

As he spoke, he licked his lips involuntarily.

Seeing him like this, Director Hong was a little suspicious, whether this guy wanted to drink it himself.

However, it is not easy for a guy who loves to drink to endure it for two years.

Seeing what Fangyuan said, Director Hong just smiled and then lowered his voice, "Xiao Yang is going out to do a task this time, so there are many people following him."

"If you're like this, you should follow the standards for what you should meet. I'll make up for the excess."

Fangyuan nodded after hearing this, then shook his head, "You can't go out alone, let's carry it together."

"Don't even think about doing this by yourself. To be honest, Comrade Xiao Yang deserves at least half of the credit for our factory's current situation."

"If you hadn't come here, we wouldn't know what our lives would be like here."

"Other matters are up to you, but this matter, I, the logistics manager, have the final say."

Director Hong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Okay, then I'll listen to you."

"Hey, that's right!"

After saying that, Fangyuan stood up immediately, "I'm going to make preparations. This time, the comrades must feel the pride of the Northwest men."

After saying that, he trotted out of the canteen.

Director Hong smiled broadly, then stood up and followed him out of the canteen, getting ready for work.

workshop.

"Comrades, I have good news for you."

Ma Xiaoling, the workshop director, stood on a stool at the door with a large speaker. Her loud voice drowned out the rumbling sound of machines, drawing everyone's attention.

"Comrades, we have received a notice from our superiors!"

"Comrade Yang Xiaotao, chief designer and deputy director of the General Machinery Factory in Sijiucheng, came to our factory today to inspect the situation."

"Comrades, let us show our most spiritual side to welcome the arrival of the leader!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the workshop exploded.

Among the people working, some looked particularly excited.

"Brother Jiefang, I, did I hear you right? Yes, it's Brother Tao who came to see us?"

The person who spoke was Erniu from the front yard of the courtyard, and he was also the first group of people to come here.

boom

Before Yan Jiefang could speak, his companion who was following him patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Tao, it's Mr. Yang. Don't scream nonsense when you're working."

Erniu chuckled, "This is so exciting, have you forgotten?"

In the courtyard, they are all called Brother Tao.

It was only after working that it became clear that Yang Xiaotao's status was too far behind them.

Sometimes, when they talk to others about what happened in the previous courtyard, they will involuntarily change Brother Tao to Mr. Yang.

But now that I suddenly heard it, I felt happy.

Yan Jiefang showed a smile on his face and nodded seriously.

"The director said so, so it must be right."

"Cheer up and work hard. You can't embarrass Brother Tao."

The dozen or so people around listened and nodded seriously.

"Get to work, we're loading ten tractors this morning."

"Okay, I can't finish it, so I won't eat!"

"Come on!"

A roar rang out in the workshop, and then I saw a group of people trying to grab something, and they ran away within a few meters.

Then, more people participated, and the whole workshop became excited.

"Bah! What's so happy about!"

In the midst of the boiling crowd, the person who was knocking on the components said disdainfully, but his face showed a little excitement, just like the people around him.

"Bangs, hurry up, don't waste time!"

On the side, Li Nan was inspecting the workshop.

Seeing that there weren't many parts in front of Liu Haizhong, he scolded her.

The main factory has arranged for people to start rotating them once every six months, which can ensure the normal operation of the second factory.

This time it was his turn.

Originally he was just a team leader at the main factory, but when he came here, he became the deputy director of the workshop.

This is also an improvement in welfare benefits for people who come from the main factory.

Only the team leader can become the deputy director.

Of course, if Li Nan chooses to stay here, he can continue to work.

Hearing the voice coming from the side, Liu Haizhong immediately showed a kind smile on his face.

At this time, Liu Haizhong's body has lost a lot of weight compared to Siheyuan. Although he is still a fat man here, he no longer has a pampering environment. In addition, there is no salary subsidy here, only daily expenses, and he cannot leave. Machinery factory, so the body has also changed.

"Director Li, don't worry, I'll just take a break and make sure to complete the task."

Li Nan glanced at Liu Haizhong. When he went to the Siheyuan in the past, he had often heard about this second uncle. Moreover, when he was at the steel rolling mill, this guy was also a person who was good at showing off, and he was also a foreigner when he did some work.

Moreover, this guy is definitely not from the same group as Xiao Tao.

This is enough.

"Well, the workshop is progressing very quickly now. We must ensure the supply of parts. You have to cheer up and don't work too hard, let alone waste."

"Yes, I understand, I understand!"

Seeing the sincerity on Liu Haizhong's face, Li Nan nodded and left.

Pooh!

In my heart, I cursed again.

"You are a person who relies on human power. Without that little beast to control you, how would you be today?"

"I am a seventh-level blacksmith, and I will let you take the lead?"

Liu Haizhong lowered his head and cursed in his mind, but it was of no use after cursing for a while.

Now he is doing meritorious service and is not even a worker.

well!

I sighed again in my heart.

Thinking of Yang Xiaotao, my heart felt painful again.

If he had a good relationship with Yang Xiaotao before, wouldn't he be the director here?

The director is the director. When I first heard the news, I couldn't sleep for many nights!

If he was still in the machinery factory, this position would definitely be his!

"Still, it's good to have the right!"

"Still, you have to have a backer!"

Bang bang

The hammer was swung, and the bangs were struck mechanically.

…

"Is this the second factory?"

On the jeep, Tang Mingyue looked at the factory that suddenly appeared. It was completely different from the small towns he had seen along the way. It seemed to be full of vitality.

Even in Hami City, this place is prosperous.

"Yes, it's right here!"

Yang Xiaotao stopped the car, looked at the gate in front of him and the trucks coming in and out, and said proudly.

The flower of the Second Machinery Factory finally took root and bloomed in the northwest.

In the car, Yang Zhi and Houhou jumped out of the car, looked around, then took the gifts from the car and stood behind Yang Xiaotao.

A group of them came to Hami from the station, preparing to take the afternoon flight back to Sijiu City.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao wanted to visit the branch factory, so the two of them had to accompany him.

Although there will be no problems in this inland area, who can guarantee it?

As for Tang Mingyue coming, in Yang Zhi's eyes, it was probably to avoid Li Shengli.

Back in China, everyone also knew a little bit about Tang Mingyue's identity, and understood that for the mission, she pretended to be Yang Xiaotao's wife, and that's why Li Shengli happened.

Of course, in Yang Zhi's view, Tang Mingyue's attitude towards Li Shengli was more of a comrade's communication, but the look he looked at Yang Xiaotao, although it was very subtle, he could tell that it was different.

Maybe it's because of the mission. It's been so many days and I can't change it for a while.

Yang Zhi was thinking in his mind, but Yang Xiaotao ran towards the gate of the second factory.

At this time, Director Hong was standing there with a group of people at the gate.

"Lao Hong!"

Yang Xiaotao ran forward quickly, looked at the thinner Director Hong, and stepped forward to give him a hug.

"Xiao Tao!"

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Yang Xiaotao said with some emotion. Director Hong felt inexplicably satisfied for a moment. Someone still remembered his efforts.

"It's not hard, it's great here!"

"Work hard and work hard for the revolution."

Director Hong said seriously.

Yang Xiaotao nodded equally seriously, "On the road to revolution, you must take care of yourself."

"That way, we can see the day when the revolution succeeds!"

"good!"
