Scholars in the courtyard

Mr. Zhang, who hung up the phone on the other end, was still sighing, completely unaware of Mr. Huang's intentions.

But at this time, Mr. Huang walked back to the house happily, looked at Mr. Xia who was rearranging the chessboard, and couldn't help but curled his lips and said, "I won the plan just now!"

Mr. Xia ignored him, "Why win? I still have more horses than you!"

"What's the point of having multiple horses? Both of our pawns have crossed the river!"

Huang Lao said dissatisfiedly, then sat across from him, and the two continued to fight.

At the same time, Mr. Huang also explained the situation on the phone just now, and finally said with emotion, "Oh, they are really dragged down by this!"

"Yes, not only the Third Aircraft Department, but also the Logistics Department are having a hard time!"

"You helped one but not the other? Are you afraid that Lao Qin will come to find you?"

After hearing this, Mr. Xia sighed with emotion, and then talked about the support, "Although our family is rich, we can't stand such a big deal. Don't be a bad person!"

Mr. Huang glanced at it and then said disdainfully, "You think I have bad intentions? I am just taking precautions to avoid causing trouble to the east!"

"What do you mean?"

Mr. Xia is a little confused. How can it be a good thing in your mouth to give money to others and suffer losses?

Seeing that Mr. Xia's eyes were wrong, Mr. Huang quickly explained. "Tell me, if they can't do it, what will they do in the future?"

"This thing can't be done anymore!"

Mr. Xia couldn't keep up with Mr. Huang's thinking and asked doubtfully, "Do it! If you can't do it, of course you have to keep doing it!"

"If this thing doesn't work in one year, just two years. If it doesn't work in two years, then ten years. If it doesn't work in twenty years, it can be done eventually!"

Mr. Huang said in disbelief, "You are still looking at things too one-sided!"

Then he picked up the cart and ate up the cannon on the opposite side, but Xia Lao jumped on the horse and continued to draw the cart.

Heavy losses!

Mr. Huang was embarrassed, and then explained, "What's the point of making these ten or twenty years old? Why don't they be eliminated?"

"Yeah, that's true."

Mr. Xia frowned, vaguely understanding what Mr. Huang meant, "So, you mean..."

"Well, the situation has been a bit chaotic recently. The fighting in the southeast is fierce, the north is not stopping, and there is someone who is determined to come back. In this case, the Air Force is under a lot of pressure!"

Huang Lao said softly, and his expression became solemn.

As for the surrounding situation and being in his position, he naturally knows more.

In order to make up for the lack of fighter planes, the military specially formulated a combat method of hitting one more and replacing one more.

The purpose is to consume the opponent's ammunition through sacrifice, thereby winning the final victory.

It's just that this victory is based on a lot of sacrifices, and behind it is the helplessness of a generation of aviation people.

"Now the West is hostile to us, and the alliance is also technologically blocked. If we want to develop, we must rely on ourselves!"

"There's a lot of pressure from above!"

Mr. Huang took a deep breath and said, "So, if they can't do it, the superiors will definitely change the target!"

"Tell me, who will the superiors consider?"

Mr. Xia frowned, he already understood what Mr. Huang meant!

"Just now Zhang Ban said that if you have the ability and ability to do this kind of thing, you are called a hero!"

"If you don't have the ability to do it, it's just a burden."

"Do you think our First Machinery Department can do it?"

"Or do you think Yang Xiaotao's machine factory can make it?"

Mr. Xia suddenly changed his expression, "Don't be kidding, what does our First Aircraft Department do? It has nothing to do with this aircraft or anything, and we have no experience at all. It's impossible!"

Mr. Huang said leisurely, "You can learn and accumulate without experience!"

"Besides, Yang Xiaotao is making aircraft engines in a machinery factory!"

snap

The chess piece in Old Xia's hand fell on the chessboard, "You mean, it's possible?"

Huang Lao nodded, "With my understanding of the above and my familiarity with Lao Qin, I can really do such a thing."

"No, I have to go to the machine shop..."

Xia Lao couldn't care less about playing chess and had to get up and go to the machine factory.

"Come back and sit down!"

Mr. Huang suddenly started scolding him. Mr. Xia just raised his buttocks after hearing this. He then sat down again.

"What are you going to say? To stop him from researching? Doesn't that stop him from making progress?"

"I…"

Mr. Xia suddenly felt that he really couldn't stop the other party with this reason after he left!

"Sit down, sit down, I'm just saying it's possible, not necessarily true."

"Besides, do you think that guy can be better than the Third Machinery Department and the Logistics Department?"

Mr. Xia's expression changed, and then he sat down, "Then what do you mean, you are deliberately entertaining me, right?"

"You, can't you think more about why I support them?"

Mr. Xia narrowed his eyes and understood immediately that he was confused just now because he was concerned!

Then he looked at the chessboard and said, "General, you lose!"

Mr. Huang was stunned by Mr. Xia's rapid change, and then he reacted and looked at the chessboard, thinking in hindsight, damn it!

snap

Huang Lao threw the chess piece away, stood up and said, "I'm going to your house for dinner tonight!"

Mr. Xia laughed after hearing this, but he was thinking in his heart that he would call Yang Xiaotao later and have a good talk.

…

As night fell and the day came to an end, Yang Xiaotao drove back to the courtyard after get off work.

In the yard, Ran Qiuye was clearing the vegetable shelves in the vegetable garden. During this time, the whole family was in Yangjiazhuang. Although the people in the yard helped to clean up, some things had to be handled by themselves.

"Why are you back so early today?"

Ran Qiuye looked at the sky. It was long now and she could still see the red face of the sun. Yang Xiaotao would not come back so early normally.

"There's nothing to do at the factory, so I came back early to see you."

"What nonsense."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, then looked around, "Where are those little guys?"

"Miao Miao took them out to play."

Ran Qiuye looked around, and there was no one in the yard, so she asked, "Didn't you see them in the alley when you came back?"

"No, where's Wangcai?"

"Wangcai went out with him."

Ran Qiuye said uncertainly, and Yang Xiaotao hummed.

Yang Xiaotao knew that if Wangcai followed him, the child would be fine, but he was still a little worried, so Xiaowei flew out of the big locust tree and disappeared in the yard.

"By the way, Aunt Zhou came over this morning."

"Aunt Zhou? What's the matter?"

Yang Xiaotao asked curiously. Generally, if there was something wrong with the Zhou family, Zhou Kui and Liu Yuhua would come over to tell them. If Aunt Zhou came over, it was not to visit, but there must be something wrong.

Ran Qiuye glanced around, then lowered her voice and walked over, "Aunt Zhou heard that we have medicinal wine at home."

"Medicinal wine? You mean, Aunt Zhou wants medicinal wine?"

Ran Qiuye nodded, "Zhou Peng and Liu Fen have been married for so long, but there has been no movement in their stomach."

"Old people always want to have children and grandchildren around them. Zhou Kui now has only one daughter, and the old people want to continue the Zhou family line. Isn't this anxious?"

Speaking of Zhou Kui, Ran Qiuye looked in the direction of Zhou Kui's house.

Since marrying Zhou Kui, Liu Yuhua has become fatter than before, especially since their salaries are considered a small group at the top of the pyramid in this courtyard. With no worries about food, meat and eggs, and not much pressure in life, their bodies are inevitably getting fatter.

Zhou Kui is better. The high-intensity work in the machinery factory makes his body relatively well-proportioned, but Liu Yuhua is now like pregnant.

Even her daughter Xiaoyu has become fatter and her weight is almost catching up with that of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Uh

Dragon Boat Festival is not light~

Anyway, with this weight, it seems a bit difficult to have another child.

Auntie Zhou saw Liu Yuhua's usual filial piety and knew that the young couple lived a sweet life. Besides, they were not without children, so she didn't blame them.

So hope fell on Zhou Peng and his wife.

"Liu Fen said that she went to the hospital for a check-up and there was nothing wrong with her body. Then the result was naturally that Xiaopeng was in trouble."

"Auntie heard about the medicinal wine and came to you."

Yang Xiaotao frowned slightly when he heard it. He didn't have a good impression of the four words "hospital check-up".

Giving birth to children, let alone now, even decades later, the hospital dare not say whose problem it is.

And when Zhou Peng was with him before, he didn't think that this kid was weak.

But he couldn't say this.

It's not that you can't have children if you are weak. Many strong people can't have children.

"Did you give it to her?"

"Yes! I took a jar from your hidden wine and asked her to take it back to try."

"Okay, it's good to try."

The two talked about it and went back to the house to prepare meals.

At this time, Xiaowei had sent a message that Miaomiao and the others were found.

The little guys followed the children in the yard and ran to the abandoned yard in the next alley to play.

If Wangcai hadn't been watching, Yang Xiaotao might have come back to teach them a lesson.

Although there are fewer cases of children being lost these days, it does happen.

Besides, Yu Zecheng has explained that the situation is special recently and his family will also become a target, so Yang Xiaotao dare not be careless.

Just when Yang Xiaotao was preparing meals, Xiaowei suddenly sent a message that three strangers appeared and stopped Miaomiao and the others from leaving.

Yang Xiaotao frowned. The strangers who appeared at this time always made him feel uncomfortable.

However, Wangcai did not take action, which means that these three people did not have bad intentions towards the children, but the specific situation still needs to be seen.

"Qiuye, I'll go find the kids."

Yang Xiaotao decided to go out and take a look. No matter what, the kids couldn't get into trouble.

"Okay, come back early for dinner."

Yang Xiaotao hummed and immediately went out of the hanging flower gate, then followed Xiaowei's instructions and came to the next alley.

Before he got close, he saw Miaomiao and Duanwu standing by the wall with seven or eight children. A man was holding his waist and not speaking, and a short and thin woman next to him was yelling at the children.

In the yard, an old woman was tidying up the things in the yard.

Yang Xiaotao walked forward and saw through the collapsed wall that there were a lot of wood piled together, some tiles and bricks, and some stones not far away, but now they were scattered everywhere.

Yang Xiaotao knew that it was probably someone who wanted to live here and was preparing to rest.

As for those scattered things, it was probably done by these children.

"You guys, is this a place to play?"

"You're throwing stones at each other, what if you knock them down?"

When Yang Xiaotao got closer, he heard the woman scolding the children, but after hearing what she said, Yang Xiaotao's face turned strange.

He thought the woman was angry that the children were destroying things and throwing them all over the place.

He also understood her feelings. If it were him, he would definitely give the boys a few shoe uppers.

But when he heard the woman's voice, she blamed the children for not paying attention to safety.

Instead, she didn't take the children's mischief to heart.

If this kind of person is not deliberately pretending, then he should be a kind person.

Yang Xiaotao couldn't think of any other words to describe it, so he walked up to the man next to him and said, "Hello, comrade!"

When Yang Xiaotao approached, Miaomiao and Duanwu immediately lowered their heads.

On the contrary, Yueyue and Rongrong, who were about to cry, saw their savior coming, and immediately ran over, hugging one thigh each, crying and calling for dad.

Yang Xiaotao had no temper with the two children, especially when his daughter was in tears, his heart softened.

He picked up the two children and looked at the man apologetically.

This man was about 40 years old, with a very peaceful complexion, not tall, but very serious.

"Comrade, I'm sorry, this is my child, the rest are children from our yard, I'm sorry to bother you."

"Don't worry, we will help you clean up this mess."

"Hello, I think you misunderstood!"

The middle-aged man interrupted immediately, "It's okay to play here, children are naughty, my wife and I saw them throwing stones, it's not good if they hit their heads, so we scolded them."

"Is that so, we have to scold them."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, then put the two children down and took out a cigarette from his pocket, but the man waved his hand, "Sorry, I don't smoke."

Yang Xiaotao put the cigarette back, "Anyway, I'm sorry to bother you."

"No, no."

The man said politely, "By the way, I'm Wang Yuhang."

"This is my wife, Tian Jing, we are both university teachers, so when we saw the children like this, we couldn't help but stop them."
