Scholars in the courtyard

Outside the hospital.

Ran Qiuye was riding her bicycle while Tang Mingyue beside her was telling her to pay attention to safety.

Ran Qiuye was concerned about Xingxing and asked her to go back and take care of the child.

On the other side, cars were waiting on the roadside.

Grandma Lin had already got in the car and left, and the remaining people were also saying goodbye.

"Brother Yuan, just stay at my place tonight. There are plenty of rooms at home, so we can go there together early tomorrow morning."

Yang Xiaotao took Teacher Yuan's hand and said, but Teacher Yuan shook his head, "I won't go, it's too late, so there won't be any trouble."

"Brother Xiao Yang, what you said at the dinner table just now, I don't dare to take it as my old brother."

Teacher Yuan said sincerely, but Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, "Brother Yuan, I believe you can do better than me in the future."

"Don't rush to refute."

"Because only then will the people have two bowls of rice on their dining tables and they will not go hungry."

"This is inevitable and something that can definitely be done."

"Believe in yourself!"

Teacher Yuan originally wanted to say a few more words, but after Yang Xiaotao said this, he would stop being pretentious.

"Okay, let's work together."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, "Then I'm going to take advantage of it."

The two laughed, and then Yang Xiaotao watched them get into the car and leave.

After the car drove out, Yang Xiaotao walked to Ran Qiuye, took the bicycle, and waved to Tang Mingyue, "Get some rest early."

"By the way, I have to remind the chief to go to the machine factory tomorrow."

Tang Mingyue smiled and shook his head, "The chief has a very good memory and doesn't need to be reminded."

"That's good, let's go."

"Daughter-in-law, get in the car!"

Ran Qiuye waved to Tang Mingyue, then sat on the back seat. Yang Xiaotao pedaled hard and the bicycle left the yard.

After the people disappeared around the corner, Tang Mingyue returned to the courtyard.

When I walked into the house, I heard the eldest sister and the old man talking about Yang Xiaotao.

"This kid can talk to anyone. The key is to know a little bit about everything and be able to talk a little bit about everything."

"Everyone is willing to make friends with him, and anyone can become his friend. This is a kind of charm."

The old man was sitting on the bed, soaking his feet in the basin.

The eldest sister picked up a foot towel and handed it over, "Yes, besides Sister Lin, there are several others here, including workers, farmers, soldiers, teachers, and experts, but these people can all talk to him."

"Even those teachers who consider themselves intellectuals are willing to bend the rules."

"This has to be said to be a very strange thing."

The old man took out his feet and wiped them with a foot towel while saying, "This shows that he is really capable."

"Otherwise, those people can obey him?"

"Moreover, I found that before he came, these people seemed very reserved, and even the communication was only superficial, as if they were a little out of place."

"But after he came, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became active, and he also mobilized everyone's enthusiasm."

"It's like, like a lubricant, connecting everyone and twisting them into a whole."

The old man said with great interest, "This is his most important ability."

"People like this are needed everywhere."

The old man said, getting ready to rest.

The eldest sister poured the water aside, then turned around and said, "That's why you agreed to go tomorrow. I remember you would meet."

"If you don't want to go, just let the people below go."

"But, having said that, Comrade Ironman and Comrade Chen both went to the machinery factory. I always feel that there is something to look forward to."

"What to expect?"

"Ha ha."

"I'm telling you"

As the lights in the room went out, Tang Mingyue turned and walked towards her residence.

However, I was still thinking about the old man's evaluation of Yang Xiaotao. It was hard to imagine that the words spoken by the chief would be used on a young man.

This has never been seen before.

"Daughter-in-law, are you cold?"

Yang Xiaotao slowed down, and Ran Qiuye hugged Yang Xiaotao hard, pressing his body against his back, feeling full of security.

"It's not cold!"

"oh."

"By the way, whose family does that child belong to today? He was crying there. It was really exciting."

Yang Xiaotao asked curiously when he thought of the child crying next door while eating.

Ran Qiuye pressed her cheek against Yang Xiaotao's back. After hearing Yang Xiaotao's question, she hesitated whether to tell the truth.

But thinking of Tang Mingyue's instructions, exposing this matter will only bring trouble, and now is not the time to talk about it.

"I heard it was Sister Zhang who helped take care of the child."

"My parents are not around, so I just keep them with me and watch."

"Oh, that's it."

Yang Xiaotao responded without going into detail.

The bicycle appeared under the street lights, and then disappeared into the darkness.

Early the next morning.

Yang Xiaotao didn't care about eating, so he came to the machinery factory early.

However, Liu Huaimin came earlier than him.

Arriving at the office building, Yang Xiaotao knocked directly on Liu Huaimin's door, opened it and walked in.

Liu Huaimin, who was on the phone, saw Yang Xiaotao walk in and looked up at the time, which was seven-thirty in the morning.

This guy has changed his gender today and he’s here so early.

But when he heard a voice on the other end of the phone, he hurriedly waved to Yang Xiatao and sat down.

Seeing Liu Huaimin talking on the phone, Yang Xiaotao came to a chair and sat down, thinking about what to say.

But after listening to the conversation on the phone for a while, I knew who it was.

Yang Youning.

It's probably about the Yanzhou branch, Yang Xiaotao is also curious about the situation there.

After waiting for a while, the phone was hung up, Liu Huaimin smiled, "Old Yang called just now, the progress there is very smooth, the departments are connected smoothly, it will probably be on the right track soon."

"When did you say you'll be back?"

"I said it, it will be almost before the New Year, when Zhan Lei will be left, he will bring people back."

Liu Huaimin said with some ease, Yang Youning is back, finally someone can share some of the burden.

As for Yang Xiaotao, thank God that this guy doesn't find work for him.

But it's also strange, those things are not a problem in his hands, but they can't be solved in his hands.

Is this the difference in ability?

But he firmly believes in a saying, diligence can make up for clumsiness.

As long as he is more diligent and conscientious, he is no worse than him.

Unlike this guy who is only enthusiastic for three minutes, wasting his talent!

Thinking of this, Liu Huaimin felt full of determination in his heart.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao asked, "How is the production of threshers in Yanzhou? Now is the corn harvest season, we can't miss it."

The first batch of products decided by the Yanzhou branch was corn threshers, which also gave them a way to develop.

As long as the reputation is spread, they can gain a foothold in the northwest.

Of course, the initial investment of the machinery factory will not be small.

"It can already be produced normally. We brought people and machines, which can be used after installation. It is said that the first batch of 30 threshers have been sent to farms in the northwest."

Liu Huaimin said, and then talked about the situation of the Yanzhou branch.

Now the initial scale of the Yanzhou branch has been determined. Although it is not as good as the second branch in the northwest, Yang Youning means to develop in the direction of the second branch. It's just that there is no ready-made factory for him to "acquire", so he can only maintain the current scale and then expand step by step.

Now we recruit local workers. After simple training, they can take up some work and will gradually become the main force of Yanzhou in the future.

Liu Huaimin talked a lot, looked at Yang Xiaotao, and asked, "By the way, why did you come so early?"

"This is the first time the sun has risen from the west."

As he said, he put the documents on the table in front of him and prepared to start a day's work.

Yang Xiaotao was still thinking about Yanzhou's affairs just now. When he heard Liu Huaimin say this, he remembered the important things today.

"Old Liu, I went to a meal yesterday. Do you know who was there?"

"You went to a meal, what does it have to do with me?"

Liu Huaimin lowered his head and handled the documents seriously. He had nothing to say about Yang Xiaotao. He came to show off after having a meal.

It's not like he had never eaten before.

Yang Xiaotao stood up and came to Liu Huaimin, "Old Liu, did you go to the chief's house last night?"

"Chief?"

Liu Huaimin looked up in surprise, "Which chief?"

Yang Xiaotao gently said a name, and the documents in Liu Huaimin's hand fell on the table.

Damn, I haven't been there before.

He looked at Yang Xiaotao with more envy.

"It's not important!"

"It's not important? Do you know who that is?"

Liu Huaimin felt that this guy was showing off and deliberately angered him, and his good mood for the day was gone immediately.

It's only morning.

How are you going to spend your day?

This bastard!

"Hey, listen to me!"

"Do you know who we are eating with?"

As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Liu Huaimin immediately glared at him, "You are deliberately trying to anger me early in the morning, right?"

"No, listen to me!"

"You say!"

Liu Huaimin forced himself not to be angry, and then picked up the documents on the table. Although he couldn't read them, he didn't want to look at Yang Xiaotao, who was so proud.

"Hey, there are eight of us attending the dinner. I won't mention them. There is also Mr. Yuan, the developer of hybrid rice, the Iron Man, Secretary Chen from Dazhai, and Lin..."

As Yang Xiaotao said each name, the information in Liu Huaimin's hand was reduced by one point, and finally he put it directly on the table, his eyes wide open, looking surprised.

If Yang Xiaotao sat at the same table with Mr. Huang, he would have met them before and could accept it.

He would not be too surprised, after all, it was not the first time!

But now, the people present may not have the same status and official positions as Mr. Huang, but in terms of influence, they are even more than them.

Just go to the street and ask someone, and you will know the name of the boss of the First Ministry of Machine Building, but you will definitely not know who the Iron Man is.

More importantly, there are many people here, and he wants to meet them!

In front of these people, he is like a fan and a star, admiring, supporting, and worshiping them.

And Yang Xiaotao, actually had dinner with so many people he admired, and...

Told him all this, wouldn't that make him angry?

It was numb, Liu Huaimin didn't want to look at this guy for a moment!

"I told them last night that they would come to visit our machinery factory today, and the leader would also come."

"This is what I thought..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Liu Huaimin finally came out of his depression, and then asked with a little surprise, "What did you say just now?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at him speechlessly, he just said a little too much, could he say it again?

"You said, they are coming to our machinery factory?"

"Didn't you hear everything!"

Pah!

Liu Huaimin slapped the table, "Such an important thing, why didn't you say it earlier!"

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and tried to keep himself restrained.

"I've been talking about this all along!"

"Don't interrupt me, hurry up and tell me who's coming?"

"I guess you didn't understand."

"Will you tell me?"

"Speak, speak."

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly repeated the names.

As a result, Liu Huaimin only listened to the first two, Iron Man and Secretary Chen, and immediately jumped up from his seat, then stared at Yang Xiaotao and said seriously, "Is it the Iron Man who learned from Daqing in industry?"

"Yes, that one."

"The Secretary who learned from Dazhai in agriculture?"

"Yes, that one."

"You, you"

Liu Huaimin took a deep breath, exhaled deeply, and then calmed down, then looked at Yang Xiaotao and murmured.

"Learn from Dazhai in agriculture, learn from Daqing in industry, and learn from Red Star in innovation."

"This, this is the 'three studies'."

"The spirit of the three studies! Yes, it is the spirit of the three studies."

The next second, Liu Huaimin's eyes flashed with light, and his expression was as excited as if he had found a child's toy. He came to Yang Xiaotao and wanted to hug him, which scared Yang Xiaotao.

"Old Liu, calm down, calm down."

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly hugged Liu Huaimin's arm. He was almost fifty years old, couldn't he be more stable?

Liu Huaimin didn't care, "Xiaotao, do you know?"

"Three studies, the spirit of the three studies."

"Do you know the meaning of this?"

"This has never happened before. Everyone has studied for so long and shouted slogans for so long. Today we are gathered here."

"Gathered together!"

"Hahaha, three studies, the spirit of the three studies!!!"

Liu Huaimin happily walked to the window and opened it. He needed to calm down, otherwise, he couldn't do anything today.
