Scholars in the courtyard

Time passed quietly on the tip of Sasha's pen in the office.

Lou Xiao'e dealt with the documents accumulated on hand, looked up at the time on the table clock, and was about to eat.

The office was quiet, except for the occasional sound of pencils rubbing against each other.

Lou Xiao'e looked towards the source of the sound.

The soft sunlight in winter shone through the window on the young man, reflecting his well-proportioned figure.

A tough face, a serious look, his eyes kept moving with the tip of the pen, and his hands moved so gently.

The working appearance, like a magnet, deeply attracted her eyes, making her want to see, but afraid of being discovered.

Her eyes flickered, at a loss.

During the Chinese New Year, neighbors and some relatives on both sides mentioned getting married.

Even my mother was nagging in her ears, making her upset when she talked about it.

These days, the country encourages marriage, even widows will be arranged.

Not to mention divorced people like her.

Of course, this is just encouragement.

As long as she insists on not wanting, her family can't do anything.

She understood what her mother said, but in her heart, she really had no feelings for ordinary men.

Besides, she was not alone, and Xiaoxue was with her.

Even if she was old, she still had a godson.

"Maybe, it's good to be quiet now!"

She felt a little satisfied, then looked at the documents on the table, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao, and prepared to get up and let Yang Xiaotao go to eat.

However, just as she stood up, she saw the door of the office was pushed open.

Then Liu Huaimin took the lead, followed by Yang Youning, and Chen Gong and Wang Guodong walked in one after another.

The group of people came straight to Yang Xiaotao's desk as if they were fighting against the local tyrants.

"I say, what's going on..."

Yang Xiaotao just looked up when he heard the noise, and saw Liu Huaimin's face with wide eyes.

However, before he finished speaking, Liu Huaimin's eyes were fixed on the drawings on the desk.

Then he exclaimed, "Is what Huang Degong said true?"

"Do you really want to study engines, no, aircraft engines?"

"Is it true?"

As Liu Huaimin said this, several people behind him gathered around the table, as if they were blocking the door and fighting.

Lou Xiao'e stood up and watched nervously, clenching her fists, not understanding the situation.

"I say, is this the case?"

"It's just an engine. We don't make many diesel engines. Why make such a fuss!"

Yang Xiaotao understood that several people heard the news from Huang Degong, but he said calmly.

"You, what do you know, kid!"

Yang Youning's face wrinkled suddenly, and his voice was trembling.

"This is an airplane engine. Do you think it's the same as a tractor?"

"The Third Ministry of Machine Building, the Logistics Department, so many people can't do it. Now they can't figure it out in the workshop. How much investment has gone down the drain."

"You, you...what can I say to you!"

Yang Youning looked surprised and happy, but the surprise was greater than the joy. What he said represented his inner thoughts, that is, suspicion.

"Xiao Tao, you are too, too bold..."

"Huang Degong and the others don't know, and you don't know how difficult it is?"

"How can one or two factories make it?"

"How many factories in our country are involved, and we have the help of the alliance, but now? It hasn't been made yet."

"To put it bluntly, even if all our machinery factories are counted, it's not even a fraction of the research factories of others!"

Chen Gong was also on the side, persuading earnestly.

It was Wang Guodong, although he didn't speak, but his face was full of suspicion.

Liu Huaimin moved away from the drawings on the table and looked at Yang Xiaotao.

"It's not that you are not allowed to research, but now, we still have a lot of things to do!"

"Like the research and upgrading of machine tools, when Morning Star becomes the norm and Morning Star expands its production scale, we will need better machine tools."

"Research in this area is also the focus of the chief."

Liu Huaimin said, and Yang Youning and others nodded.

They have a clear positioning for the machinery factory now, which is to use the advantages of the machinery factory to drive the development of the whole country.

Consolidate the foundation of domestic industrial construction.

Especially machine tools, the machinery factory will be the mother nest of machine tools in the future.

This status is absolutely second to none and among the best in the country.

But now it's good, everyone is holding back and preparing to do a big job, but Yang Xiaotao turned the steering wheel and prepared to go to another stove.

Really, I almost sprained my waist.

Yang Xiaotao listened to what they said and immediately understood that they were afraid of wasting their energy and time and delaying the tasks of their superiors.

So he smiled and stood up, "Sit, sit, let's sit down and talk."

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning listened and felt that it was a bit inappropriate to stand in front, and then sat aside.

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e hurriedly took out cups from the cabinet and poured water for several people.

"I think this matter can still be done!"

Yang Xiaotao waited for several people to calm down and spoke.

He had reasons to do it.

If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it!

If you don't do it now, you will miss the chance.

Of course, he couldn't say this, but he could only say the first two.

He walked up to them, took out cigarettes and distributed them to a circle, then sat aside and took two puffs, "Listen to me, I brought this up now, first of all, considering our status, we can't rely on our past achievements..."

Yang Xiaotao said the two reasons before, and Yang Youning and the others looked at each other, but still did not give up the idea of ​​persuasion.

Yang Xiaotao continued to speak.

"Moreover, if we want to improve the accuracy of machine tools and make better machine tools, we not only need better materials, but also more level 8 workers."

"Especially the latter, which is directly related to success or failure."

This made Yang Youning and the others speechless.

After all, in the field of machine tool research, the four of them combined are not as good as Yang Xiaotao.

This is what Yang Xiaotao can only say.

"But how can the workers' skills be improved?"

"I have come step by step from the grassroots positions. I know that if a worker wants to improve his skills, in addition to that little talent, he must also make unremitting efforts."

"If you don't practice for a day, you will become rusty, and after a long time, you will be useless."

"Now I go to the workshop from time to time to find something to warm up my hands, otherwise this ability will also decline."

"So you want to use this to sharpen them?"

Liu Huaimin understood what Yang Xiaotao meant.

"Yes, not only the first workshop, but also the other workshops need to be urged."

"But you don't have to use this engine as a whetstone."

Chen Gong was still a little worried.

"Yes, this blueprint design is very difficult!"

Yang Youning finished smoking a cigarette, took out another one from the cigarette box on the table, and lit it with the cigarette butt, "I heard that the Logistics Department is designing the blueprint in Shengjing, and it has not been finalized yet."

"They also said that they should design and make it at the same time, and then improve it while experimenting. It consumes a lot of manpower, material resources and time!"

"Xiao Tao, I think you should put it aside for now?"

"If it really doesn't work, there is still a tank project!"

"I think this is better. It happens that the third workshop produces armored vehicles, and this one is produced together."

Yang Youning persuaded again, trying to make Yang Xiaotao give up the idea of ​​​​making aircraft engines.

But Yang Xiaotao still shook his head after hearing this, "I think it's better to make aircraft engines."

"Besides, I have the confidence to make it, all right!"

After saying this, Yang Xiaotao stopped talking, but everyone could see the determination on his face.

"Since Xiaotao thinks it's okay, I think we should give it a try."

Wang Guodong, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this time, but Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning rolled their eyes.

"Old Wang, you betrayed at the critical moment, I should have known not to bring you here."

Chen Gong said speechlessly on the side.

Wang Guodong was not annoyed after hearing this, and grinned.

"Anyway, I think that every time Xiaotao made something, it was always unexpected."

"But it always worked!"

"I came here this time to see if he was serious. Now I see that he is determined to do it seriously, what can I object to?"

"Maybe after a while, he will really make it."

Wang Guodong said freely, and Liu Huaimin and the other two listened thoughtfully.

Yang Xiaotao even gave a thumbs up, "Uncle Wang, you are still very open-minded."

"Haha, I have seen a lot along the way and have practiced it!"

Wang Guodong smiled. Although he stayed in the workshop on weekdays, his position was also the same.

But it was because of this that he could see clearly.

The development of the machinery factory to this day is all due to Yang Xiaotao.

It is not that Yang Xiaotao has to adapt to the development of the machinery factory.

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning looked at each other, and then Yang Youning nodded.

"What Lao Wang said makes some sense!"

"I think this way, this research should be done in advance, but other things cannot be left behind."

"What do you think?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I have no problem with this!"

After getting Yang Xiaotao's affirmation, Liu Huaimin and the other two did not stay any longer and left the office one after another.

"Tell me if you have any difficulties!"

Wang Guodong walked at the end and patted Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder to encourage him.

"Just wait for good news!"

Wang Guodong smiled and nodded, then left.

"Boss Yang, you really want to make airplane engines!"

After Lou Xiao'e and the others left, she walked up carefully and asked.

Yang Xiaotao returned to the table, put away several drawings, and then nodded, "Isn't this what we are doing?"

"Plane!"

Lou Xiao'e exclaimed, and suddenly fell into some memories.

"It's time to eat, don't just stand there!"

Yang Xiaotao packed up his things and prepared to eat, but saw Lou Xiao'e still in a daze, so he shouted.

"Ah, yeah, I'll go right away."

When he arrived at the cafeteria, Yang Xiaotao lined up with an enamel pot.

Without waiting for the food, Liu Daming followed a group of people and then cut in behind Yang Xiaotao.

The workers who were originally behind didn't dare to say much when they saw this group of people cutting in line, but stepped forward to inquire about the news.

"Boss Yang, you said you want to make airplane engines? Is this true?"

Liu Daming asked excitedly.

In the short two or three years following Yang Xiaotao, he has experienced more things than most of his life.

From pressure cookers to electric rice cookers, from steam engines to single-cylinder diesel engines, but now machine tools, rolling mills.

This experience is like sesame blossoming, one level higher than the other.

"Yes, we are working on the design drawings."

Liu Daming immediately smiled at Hou Baowei and others behind him.

Pang Guo, who was standing next to him, was a little worried, "Boss Yang, I heard that this thing is not easy to make."

"Other brother departments have been working on it!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I know, but so what?"

"It's not just them who can do it, our machinery factory can do it too, right!"

"Besides, what if we make it?"

Liu Daming nodded immediately in agreement, "That's a good point, why can they do it but we can't!"

"If we make it, let's see if those guys still have the face to show off in front of us."

"Okay, this is not conducive to unity! Don't say it anymore in the future."

Yang Xiaotao stopped them, but they didn't take it seriously and continued to discuss it like an old child.

Soon, the future tasks of the first workshop spread quickly in the factory, and then spread to several units of the First and Third Machinery Departments.

When they learned that the machinery factory was going to make aircraft engines, Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia were silent for a moment, and then they felt a little disappointed.

It is said that the two of them made an appointment to drink at home for half a night after get off work.

However, after hearing about this, Mr. Zhang from the Third Machinery Department specially called Mr. Qin from the Logistics Department. After the two finished talking, they both looked calm.

But the department that was researching the engine received the first stressful gift package of the New Year!
