Scholars in the courtyard

West Garden.

The eldest sister hugged Xingxing, who was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, and teased the child's little hands from time to time.

Outside the house, the sun is warm, but a little cold.

"Wake up, did you wake up again?"

The eldest sister was particularly fond of the little guy's eyes widening and not crying or fussing.

Ahhh~~

As soon as he finished the compliment, the little guy opened his mouth and started crying.

A small grain of rice is exposed.

The little one is starting to grow teeth.

Hearing the cry, Secretary Tang, who was reporting the situation to the old man not far away, paused for a moment, and then continued.

"Chief, this is the statistics of materials sent to the disaster area."

"After we sent people to follow up, we found that many people were lining their own pockets, and some were replacing items with defective ones during transportation to fool the people."

Tang Mingyue told the situation, and the old man slapped the table angrily.

"Rampant, extremely arrogant."

“These are all people’s hard work and life-saving things for them to survive the winter.”

"How dare they reach out, how can they bear to reach out?"

The table was banged by the old man's slap, and Tang Mingyue hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man sit down.

"Little dragon."

"Hey, Chief."

"Let the people below conduct a strict investigation."

"yes!"

Tong Xiaolong turned around and was about to leave. The old man thought of something and suddenly stopped, "This time, I will catch the culprit, and the rest can be dealt with as appropriate."

"If it's too difficult for someone, if it's not too serious, just give it a little punishment and don't make it bigger."

"Okay. I understand."

Tong Xiaolong understood that the leader was still kind-hearted and had everyone in his heart.

"Hey, it's me, the head of the family, who didn't do a good job, otherwise, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened."

The old man sighed again, and Tang Mingyue felt sad for the old man.

"Chief, you have done a good enough job."

"At the very least, it's much better than those years of eating tree bark."

The old man shook his head after hearing this, "No, no, that's all the result of the efforts of the comrades and has nothing to do with me."

"Speaking of which, I saw the report Wang Beard sent, saying that production will be increased next year?"

Tang Mingyue nodded immediately, then pulled out a report from the pile of documents on the side and handed it to the old man, "Chief Wang said that because many machine tools were used this year, especially the emergence of threshing machines, it saved manpower and material resources and shortened time. reclaim more land.”

Tang Mingyue explained the contents of the report, and the anger on the old man's face gradually dissipated.

What happened before was just a small abscess. Just squeeze it and apply some medicine.

But the increase in food in the northwest can make people full and strong.

"They also said they wanted more machines."

After Tang Mingyue finished speaking, the old man nodded and said, "Here, I'll give you as much as you want."

"As long as he gives me more food."

Tang Mingyue wrote this down, and then heard the old man ask, "By the way, what's going on with the aircraft engine? Is there any news?"

At this time, the crying of the children outside became louder and louder, probably because they wanted to eat.

"You go ahead and I'll call and ask."

Tang Mingyue nodded and left, while the old man picked up the phone.

"Help me find the Third Machinery Department"

Outside the study room, the eldest sister shook the little guy and coaxed him, but the little guy didn't buy it at all and cried hard.

"Sister, give it to me."

Tang Mingyue walked out quickly, took the child from the eldest sister, and then walked into the house.

After a while, his mouth was gagged and he couldn't care less about crying anymore.

The eldest sister walked into the study at this time and saw the smile on her husband's face.

"Why are you so happy?"

The old man hung up the phone and prepared to go out, "The engine at the Third Machinery Department is making good progress. Most of it has been installed. It is estimated that it can be tested in two days."

"If there are no problems, it can be installed on the aircraft."

"The aircraft factory in Shengjing has been improved and ready, and the engines are just waiting."

"If everything goes well, we can have a test flight in the spring after next year."

The eldest sister heard what the other person said, and then saw that the other person was putting on the coat and getting ready to go out, so she stopped at the door and asked, "Just tell me what you are saying. What are you going to do?"

"It's so cold outside, what do you do if you catch a cold?"

The eldest sister stopped at the door. Today is a day off. Even if you deal with official business, you have to do it in the study. There is no need to go out at all.

The old man laughed again after hearing this, "I said last time that the machine factory also built an engine. They are also installing it. I'm going to see how this engine is doing."

"If two engines are released at once, it will be a huge progress for the development of our aviation industry."

Saying that, he walked out.

The eldest sister had no choice but to call Tong Xiaolong to take good care of him.

Tong Xiaolong drove quickly after hearing this, so the two of them got in the car and walked to the machinery factory.

"Xiaolong, it's quite warm in this car."

Tong Xiaolong turned around and smiled, "This is an air conditioner made by Hongxing Machinery Factory. It can not only heat, but also cool."

"Oh? It was promoted so quickly?"

The old man knew that the machinery factory made air conditioners. Nowadays, many of them are installed in foreign guest hotels. This summer, they were praised by many foreign friends.

Moreover, the profits from exporting air conditioners are not small.

Tong Xiaolong shook his head, "It's made by a machinery factory, but it's not enough for export. They are now only undertaking vehicle modifications for various leaders."

"They also said that the chief's health is the most important thing."

"Nonsense."

The old man heard the most important words about the chief's body and said them without thinking.

But Tong Xiaolong took it seriously.

The old man's legs had been suffering from disease for many years. On such cold days, his legs would feel sore and uncomfortable whenever they caught cold.

Now it's warm in the car, which makes the old man feel much better.

The car left the yard and was immediately escorted by vehicles at the front and back, heading quickly to the machine shop.    In the house.

Tang Mingyue put down the fed little guy, and then looked at the little gourd beside him, stunned.

This was given to Ran Qiuye when he came to play a few days ago, saying that Yang Xiaotao made it himself.

All the children in the family have one, and this one is for Xingxing.

The implication is that this child also belongs to the Yang family.

Tang Mingyue had no objection to this.

It's okay for children to be small, but when they grow up, they have to know some things.

I just don’t know when I will find out the child’s father.

"This is the finest agarwood."

The eldest sister walked in from outside and said with a smile.

Tang Mingyue hurriedly raised her head and smiled. The eldest sister sat aside and patted the little guy's hand, which was cute and plump.

"I don't know about other things, but this piece of wood is worth thousands of gold."

The eldest sister smiled, obviously a little surprised that Yang Xiaotao took out such a good thing.

"Is this expensive?"

"How expensive it is depends on where it is used. This thing can be worn by children to prevent various diseases and also provide meditation."

"Of course, there are different types of agarwood, and it also depends on the year. The piece you have in your hand is not only delicate and solid, but also heavy. Especially the smell, which is light and constant, is a good material at first glance."

After the eldest sister talked about it, Tang Mingyue understood the benefits of this hanging chain, but she was speechless when she thought that Yang Xiaotao had prepared seven for Ran Qiuye.

"Sister, you don't know, he just prepared seven."

The eldest sister was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Having more children is also a need of the revolution."

Tang Mingyue lowered her head and said nothing.

"This time the aircraft engine made by the machine factory was watched by many people."

The eldest sister spoke again. Tang Mingyue immediately raised her head, but faced the eldest sister's smile and immediately blushed.

"You are just telling the truth."

Machinery factory.

Yang Xiaotao wiped the sweat from his face and looked at the engine that was gradually taking shape in front of him, feeling an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

As there are fewer and fewer parts on the ground, it means that the final product is just around the corner.

Liu Daming and others were sitting aside.

In the early days, they could still help out and help with things.

But in the past two days, when they entered the later assembly, they couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

It's not as fast as Yang Xiaotao can do it alone.

Watching Yang Xiaotao work, it was like picking up dumplings with chopsticks, picking each one accurately.

If I really had to use an idiom to describe it, it would be confident.

"Xiao Tao, take a rest, the leader is still there."

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao wanted to continue, Yang Youning on the side quickly stepped forward and handed over a glass of water, and then signaled with his eyes.

Only then did Yang Xiaotao see several figures sitting by the stove at the door.

"You came here when you were busy. You have been sitting here for a while."

"By the way, the Third Machinery Department will almost finish it tomorrow. You can talk to us later and make our machine factory look good."

Yang Youning was still giving instructions, but Yang Xiaotao saw the figures clearly, put down the enamel jar and walked forward quickly.

The uncle and Mr. Chen were in the middle, accompanied by Mr. Huang and Mr. Qin on both sides. The four of them were talking and laughing at the moment, and they were very harmonious.

"Chief."

Yang Xiaotao came over, and everyone noticed him. Mr. Chen pointed to the stool next to him, "Nothing, we just came to take a look, you sit down first."

"Uncle!"

Yang Xiaotao sat next to his uncle with a stool, then habitually took out cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them around.

"Hey, Panda, all this guy gave me were peonies."

Mr. Huang took the cigarette and joked at the side.

The uncle smiled and lit the cigarette, "These peonies are not cheap either."

Mr. Chen stayed at a distance, watching several people smoking and moving their stools back involuntarily.

The uncle smiled when he saw it and said, "We have been taking care of you for a long time. It's time for you to take care of us smokers."

Mr. Chen was speechless, "You can suck it, but don't make any trouble with me."

Everyone laughed again.

Liu Huaimin on the side suddenly walked in, winked at Yang Youning, and then ran out quickly.

"I heard them say that you did a good job with the plane. You were at home with nothing to do, so I came over to take a look."

The uncle said relaxedly, but in fact his current situation was not as relaxed as it is now.

Subconsciously, Yang Xiaotao looked around.

Yang Xiaotao naturally heard the meaning of the words, and knew in his heart that although some things have tried their best to change, they will still happen when they happen.

Even though he has changed a lot.

Fortunately, the future is still good.

"What are you looking at? Tell me."

When the uncle saw Yang Xiaotao's expression, he understood what was going on. His heart warmed up, but he didn't want Yang Xiaotao to get involved, so he asked hurriedly.

"Hey, it'll be ready soon."

"Uncle, Chief, I dare say that this engine is the best engine produced in our country."

"It's not even worse than the Alliance's engines."

Yang Xiaotao no longer hid it.

It is not noticeable when looking at the drawings. The manufacturing process is only partially done, and there is no overall feeling.

But during the installation process, he can feel that the difficulty of manufacturing this engine is greater than that of the Morning Star machine tool.

It can only be said that it is worthy of being something that has not yet appeared in the future.

Compared with the product of Morning Star, which is 20 or 30 years ago, this engine undoubtedly has a higher technical content.

When several people saw Yang Xiaotao say this, they immediately showed surprised expressions.

The uncle was close, and after hearing it, he squinted his eyes and exhaled a puff of smoke. He subconsciously thought that it was bragging, but thinking of Yang Xiaotao's reputation, it seems that he has never said bragging for so long.

Then these words are worth thinking about.

After listening, Mr. Chen just coughed lightly on the side. I don’t know if he was choked by the smoke or reminded Yang Xiaotao not to talk nonsense.

Mr. Huang looked at Yang Xiaotao and thought to himself, this guy doesn’t take the Third Machine Department seriously.
