Scholars in the courtyard

Because it is made of stone.

Several people at the table looked puzzled, even Ran Qiuye and Lou Xiaoe were curious, what does this have to do with stone?

But the stone monkey is just stone, so there is nothing wrong with saying that.

Yang Xiaotao continued, "This furnace is just like the steelmaking furnace in our factory. Do you know what the temperature of the furnace is?"

A group of people shook their heads, and Lou Xiaoe immediately said, "More than 1,300 degrees."

She knew this.

"What is the melting point of stone?"

Lou Xiaoe lowered her head, she didn't know much.

"Stone, this thing needs 1,600 degrees to melt."

"You said that a furnace at 1,300 degrees can burn a stone at 1,600 degrees to death."

Ran Xinrui opened her mouth wide, as if a new world had opened up.

"So that's it."

Lou Xiaoe poked the bowl and suddenly realized.

Ran Qiuye also heard this version for the first time, but it sounded really reasonable.

"Then, then brother-in-law, how should Sun Wukong be burned to death?"

Ran Hongbing finally served as a qualified supporting actor for a while.

"We have a solution for this in our steel mill."

"What solution?"

"Oxygen, by increasing the temperature through liquid oxygen, can be raised to more than 1,700 degrees, which can burn Sun Wukong to death."

Ran Xinrui's eyes lit up, "This is a catalyst, right? I learned it in junior high school chemistry."

Yang Xiaotao nodded with relief, "Yes, it is a catalyst."

"So, the reason why I can't burn Sun Wukong to death is not because he is not capable enough, but because I don't study and don't know how to count."

Ran Qiuye and Lou Xiaoe looked at each other and immediately understood what Yang Xiaotao meant.

After Ran Xinrui came to the conclusion that 'I don't know how to count', she suddenly felt that she really had to learn math, physics and chemistry well.

"So Xinrui, don't think about learning design or drawings now."

"Your first task now is to lay a solid foundation. Only when you understand more and learn more knowledge can you be more helpful."

"Just like my brother-in-law, he also studied in high school and went to school."

"It's not good if there are no seats. Let alone design drawings, I can't even understand the drawings."

"Brother-in-law said that, you understand it."

Ran Xinrui nodded vigorously, "I understand, I want to get into high school, study hard, and learn design after I learn it."

Okay, I'm going to compete with design in this life.

I just don't know if my father-in-law will let you learn it.

But there is still a long time. When she really reaches that step, learning design is also a way out.

After everyone finished eating, Lou Xiao'e said goodbye, saying that she had an appointment to watch a movie in the evening.

Yang Xiaotao guessed that he went to watch a movie with Liu Lixue again.

This pair of sisters is more amazing than the other.

Some people had approached them before, but as they failed one after another, single men in the machinery factory kept their distance.

Now the news has spread in the machinery factory that these two people have high standards, and ordinary people don’t look down on them, and they don’t seem to be in a hurry at all.

With this attitude towards life, the two people live a very chic life.

They are free and unrestrained. If they want to watch a movie, they can make an appointment together. If they want to eat anything, they have money anyway.

They don’t have to consider getting married and having children, they don’t have to consider their children’s schooling, and they don’t have to consider their children’s marriage in the future.

They live a stress-free life and live an enviable life.

Of course, there must be people who can’t stand this behavior that drags down the country’s fertility, especially men. What’s the big deal if a good girl doesn’t get married or have children?

Especially since the two of them are good-looking, isn’t this a waste of resources?

But some people think this is good, especially female compatriots, who think this is a manifestation of women’s pursuit of independence and freedom, and a manifestation of their pursuit of equality.

And it is said that many girls in the machinery factory have been affected, which has caused a lot of trouble for the matchmakers in the street office.

Yang Xiaotao didn't want to say much about this. As long as he did his job well, he didn't care about anything else.

What's wrong with not getting married in this life? What does it have to do with him?

Ran's mother and the children led the people in the courtyard to watch TV in the living room, while Yang Xiaotao hid in the study, picked up a pen and paper and began to design drawings.

In the afternoon, when designing an engine for the car factory, he suddenly remembered that he had promised the old dean to help design and produce a hulling machine.

Yang Xiaotao understood the situation in the countryside. There are two ways to thresh wheat now.

Or there are two ways to deal with hulling operations.

The first is the rolling method.

The process is complicated. It has to be cut with a guillotine, dried, and then people use animals to drag a stone roller to roll back and forth on the ground, and then use the wind to sharpen the wheat grains.

This method takes several days to complete, but it is also the most common and most commonly used method in rural areas.

The second is the extrusion method.

This method relies on a machine, which the villagers call a wheat threshing machine, which is driven by a diesel engine.

This machine is of different sizes, and is basically rectangular in shape. It is made of iron rods and wood, and is driven by an electric motor to rotate. A person holds the dried wheat and puts the wheat heads in. The machine squeezes the wheat grains inside.

Both methods have their own advantages, but they are not the kind that Yang Xiaotao remembers.

So, what he wants to design is the shelling machine he saw when he was a child.

After working until midnight, he finally got the general outline and the specific working principle. The next step is to find the bug of the card system.

Yang Xiaotao took a shower and returned to the bedroom. Ran Qiuye had already lain down and fallen asleep.

The busyness during the day, plus the "worry" of taking care of the children, made her go to bed early to rest.

But when Yang Xiaotao came over, she still heard the noise and sat up from the bed.

Yang Xiaotao went forward and hugged him in his arms, ready to do something bad, but was rejected by Ran Qiuye, so Yang Xiaotao didn't succeed.

Mainly because she was embarrassed by what she said about dinner at Duanwu.

I thought the child didn't know, but who knew that this little guy had such a keen ear.

Yang Xiaotao was not a must-have person, and the two of them leaned together and talked, which was quite peaceful.

"While you were busy, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu went to the street office."

"Street office? Are they really going to divorce?"

"Well, I heard from the people who went to watch the excitement that Sha Zhu was worried about dragging Qin Huairu down, and he couldn't come back from the countryside, and the care would not change, so he went to find Aunt Wang to file a report, and it is estimated that they will divorce tomorrow."

Ran Qiuye sighed. Although she didn't get along with Qin Huairu and the others, few women had the courage to divorce, especially at the moment.

That is, people like Lou Xiaoe, who are open-minded and don't care.

"But this Sha Zhu did a good thing, so he didn't drag people down."

After Ran Qiuye finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao sighed, "Sha Zhu? Him? Doing good things, what are you thinking about."

"I guess there must be something fishy here. Maybe Sha Zhu committed a crime and had no choice but to divorce."

Ran Qiuye looked surprised, "Can he find a woman after the divorce?"

"Why not? There is a widow-loving gene in their family. Maybe he has taken a fancy to a widow in the countryside."

Yang Xiaotao said with ill intentions, but he hit the mark by accident and really made him guess right.

"Also, don't feel sorry for Qin Huairu."

"Maybe she is happy in her heart."

Ran Qiuye didn't refute after hearing this. She knew that her man's ability to judge people was very accurate.

"Take your hands away, not tonight"

"I know, but I can't control my hands."

"Bad guy~"

Yi Zhonghai's house

Sha Zhu sat at the head of the bed, smoking a cigarette, which was rare, just like Yi Zhonghai, and both of them couldn't sleep.

"Uncle, don't worry, even if you divorce Huairu, you are still my uncle."

"I will still take care of you in your old age."

Auntie's eyes were red when she heard it, "Zhuzi, why can't you control me like this?"

"Huairu is such a good daughter-in-law, you, auntie don't know what to say."

Sha Zhu lowered his head when he heard it, "I, I also wish I could be separated from you, so as not to cause trouble."

Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly when he heard it.

He really cut off a piece.

"But my life is important."

"And we agreed that when I have nothing to do with that woman, I will find a way to divorce and remarry Huairu."

"Don't worry, I, He Yuzhu, will do what I say."

Yi Zhonghai sighed in his heart when he heard it.

He understood Sha Zhu's little thoughts, wasn't it just because he liked this house?

If he really took care of them in their old age, it didn't matter who the house was given to?

Besides, at his age, does he have any other choice?

"Okay, just know it yourself."

Yi Zhonghai picked up the cigarette and lit it again. An old lady beside him frowned. The father and son smoked a little too much today.

"This time you are sorry to Huairu, you must compensate her well."

Sha Zhu nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely compensate her, just like my father, I will give her some money every month when I make money."

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was choked by the smoke in his nose and kept coughing.

Qin's family.

Qin Huairu sat in a chair, thinking about how to go in the future.

In her thirties, a widow, a second marriage, and two daughters.

What kind of person can she find?

She looked down at her assets, and then looked in the mirror again and again.

Time makes people old. Compared with Ran Qiuye, she is older after all.

"I can give birth, raise and manage the family. I don't worry about no one wanting me."

Talking to herself in the mirror, full of confidence.

The next day.

Yang Xiaotao sent the child to the nursery, and Ran Qiuye was going to take Miaomiao back to school.

When the family went out, they saw Shazhu walking out in slovenly clothes with his head down.

Behind him, Qin Huairu was dressed neatly, and she had two braids on her head, which made her look very conspicuous.

She was just pretending to be young.

Yang Xiaotao looked back at Ran Qiuye, who also saw Qin Huairu's dress, and shook her head when she saw Yang Xiaotao looking at her, "I don't want to."

Ahem

"I didn't say that."

"I don't know you yet?"

Ran Qiuye drove the car, and Miaomiao sat on the beam, laughing.

"Little girl, what are you laughing at."

"Dad, you are staring at that aunt."

Ahem

"Dad sees someone pretending to be young, unlike your mother, who is really young."

"What nonsense, hurry up."

Ran Qiuye snorted and drove away.

Yang Xiaotao led the three brothers Duanwu out and got in the car.

The Taoist priest sat in the passenger seat, yawning.

"Taoist priest, be careful at night, don't fall asleep, what will your comrades think?"

"What will they think? I didn't do anything."

"That's right, one person can't do it, then find you a companion?"

"Go away, you devil, you disturb my mind!"

"Tsk!"

The car left, sent the child to the bus to the steel plant, and then drove back to the machinery plant.

As soon as I entered the gate, I heard Liu Lixue's voice on the radio.

I thought it was the daily song time, or the radio time.

But I didn't expect to hear Liu Lixue popularizing scientific knowledge this time.

Yang Xiaotao listened to a few words, then shook his head and said nothing.

This guy said exactly what he had said to Ran Xinrui.

Especially the last sentence, "I don't know how to count", which made many people laugh.

No need to guess, it must be Lou Xiaoe who told her.

This traitor.

Going upstairs, before Yang Xiaotao entered the office, he saw Li Jun, the director of the publicity department, coming out of the factory director's office with a smile. When he saw Yang Xiaotao, he immediately stepped forward.

"Boss Yang, you are really versatile and knowledgeable."

"This is the first time I have seen this form of popular science."

"You don't know, Factory Director Yang is going to start a program like this, with a fixed time every week to promote it, which can not only improve the cultural level of the workers, but also enrich their activities, killing two birds with one stone."

"In the future, you need to come up with more ideas so that this column can be started."

"By the way, Boss Yang, what do you think the name of this program should be? You have to help me think about it."

Before Yang Xiaotao spoke, Director Li kept talking, not giving Yang Xiaotao a chance to interrupt.

However, Yang Youning knew about this, and Yang Xiaotao understood his intention.

Publicity, isn't it just about letting people know?

But coming up with ideas, that depends on whether you have time.

Too busy, how can you have so many ideas.

"Let Lao Yang come up with the name of this program."

"He's a naming madman, don't make yourself uncomfortable."

Yang Xiaotao reminded with a smile, and then walked to the office.

Director Li was stunned, and then his legs shook, how could he forget about this.

No wonder the factory director didn't even raise his head when he said he would go back to think about the name of the column.

So this is it.

Director Li almost slapped his thigh, and hurriedly shouted to Yang Xiaotao's back, "Boss Yang, thank you."

After that, he ran to the factory director's office, this impression point must be saved.
