Scholars in the courtyard

When I went out, snowflakes started to fall outside again.

Yang Xiaotao no longer knows which snow this year is. Anyway, there has been a lot of snow this year.

Sometimes it’s snow foam, which falls in the morning and melts in the afternoon, leaving the ground wet.

Sometimes it snows heavily, and the sky and the earth change color overnight.

But now, looking at the falling snowflakes, Yang Xiaotao is sure that it will be completely white when he wakes up tomorrow.

"Mr. Yang, I will take you back."

Wang Hao was talking to the side, holding a coat in his hand.

Yang Xiaotao took it and put it on his body, "Are you leading the team tonight?"

"Yes, Captain Liang asked us to guard here so nothing can go wrong."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Wang Hao, "Comrades have worked hard on the night shift. Please prepare more hot soup. Take these cigarettes and share them."

Wang Hao took it with a smile, but he knew that Mr. Yang would never be short of cigarettes.

"Also, comrades, please wear more clothes. It's really cold today."

Wang Hao nodded.

The two got into the car and left quickly.

When I returned to the yard, it was quiet all around. The naughty children at home also stayed at home obediently and slept when they had nothing to do.

The same is true for adults. If you have nothing to do, go to bed, and if you sleep, you will have something to do.

When we came to the middle courtyard, the wind blew the locust tree branches against each other, and the snapping sound was similar to the sound in some houses.

The doors and windows of the surrounding houses were closed, and only the gray smoke coming out of the chimney stood firm in the cold wind.

The Wangcai family leaned together to avoid the wind and snow.

When Yang Xiaotao came back, Wangcai ran out and ran around Yang Xiaotao. Yang Xiaotao reached out and touched the dog's head, then opened the door and walked into the house.

As for Xiaowei, this guy has become a homebody since he got a new home.

Except when I go out with Yang Xiaotao when I have something to do, I hide in the lightning strike wood to absorb energy, but I don't know if I can succeed in the end.

"Back!"

As soon as Yang Xiaotao entered the door, he heard Ran Qiuye's voice.

"You're back, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Yang Xiaotao took off his coat and shoes, took off his socks, and came to the side wearing single shoes.

Ran Qiuye walked out wearing a cotton-padded jacket. After seeing Yang Xiaotao, he went to the stove nearby, took off the hot kettle, poured it into an enamel basin, added some cold water and brought it to him.

"I see you've been very busy these days, and it's cold, so you have to take care of yourself."

Then he put down the basin and put Yang Xiaotao's feet into it.

This is not the first time.

At first, Yang Xiaotao was a little reluctant and just wanted to do it by himself.

But Ran Qiuye persisted and even refused to let her wash her feet because he didn't love her and didn't treat her as one of his own, so Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to let it go.

Of course, this feeling not only warms the soles of the feet, but also warms the heart.

What an honor it is to find a woman who is willing to wash my feet in this life.

This will happen in the future, so don't talk about washing your own feet. It's not an exaggeration to turn it upside down.

Looking at his wife washing his feet, Yang Xiaotao reached out and stroked his wife's hair.

Ran Qiuye looked up, his eyes full of tenderness.

Ran Qiuye poured out the water in the basin and then put the basin aside.

Yang Xiaotao came to her and before she could react, he picked her up and walked slowly into the house.

Outside, the cold wind howled and snowflakes fell.

Inside the house, two figures embraced each other.

The next morning.

Yang Xiaotao rubbed his sore lower back and got up. Looking at Ran Qiuye who was still sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but move his body and slowly recover.

After getting dressed, Yang Xiaotao went out and looked at the white snow in the yard and the snow foam blown down by the wind on the roof. It fell to his neck and was biting cold. He could not help but shrink his neck and rub his palms.

After sorting it out, Yang Xiaotao found a broom and shovel from the house next door and started cleaning the road in the yard.

rub rub

Soon a meter-wide trail was cleared. It was cold and the ground was freezing. The snow was swept away and it would not be muddy even when the sun came out.

"Uncle Wang, good morning."

In the next room, Wang Dashan came out with a shovel, and Yang Xiaotao said hello.

"Good morning, it's quite early for you."

"This young man is getting lazy."

Wang Dashan said, then looked at the next room.

There is the residence of the eldest son Wang Jun.

Since entering the machinery factory, Wang Jun has become promising.

The salary plus benefits he received was almost higher than that of a sixth-level slaughterer like him.

It is with Wang Jun's support that the family's life is getting better and better.

Now, the family is preparing to find a wife for Wang Jun.

It stands to reason that with Wang Jun's conditions, not to mention girls from the city, even female workers in textile factories can be found.

Just like Zhou Peng, finding a female worker and becoming a dual-income family is an existence that people envy.

But the family asked the third aunt to help find several girls, but in the end they didn't succeed.

I don’t know what this guy’s request was, but he just didn’t take it seriously.

For this matter, Wang Dashan worked hard behind his back, just thinking about hugging his grandson as soon as possible.

Right now, the eldest son is so procrastinating that nothing seems right to him. “Perhaps I haven’t found the right one yet. When I encounter it, I will find it naturally.”

Yang Xiaotao was comforting on the side, but he knew Wang Jun's thoughts clearly in his heart.

In other words, they all know the thoughts of these young people in the alley.

These young people may not have much ability, but their hearts are as high as the sky.

Just like when Qin Huairu entered the Siheyuan, the young people in the courtyard raised their standards for finding a partner.

Although it is no longer the same as before, the young widow in her twenties, coupled with her original figure and deliberate dressing, has made many young people always think about this standard.

Later, Ran Qiuye entered the Siheyuan. With the help of Yang Xiaotao, her body has become more mature and charming, making her more outstanding.

Invisibly, many people with high ambitions have raised their standards for choosing a spouse again.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that bastard."

Wang Dashan waved his hand. Now that his son can make money, he, as a father, has to save some face in front of others.

"Has your uncle Chen written to you recently?"

"Uncle Chen, no, but it should be soon. You have to talk about it during the New Year."

"Old Chen is going to enjoy his life, with his children and grandchildren around him."

The two chatted while working.

After Ran Qiuye got up in the room, she started to clean up and prepare breakfast.

After a while, Miaomiao got up and put on her clothes, and helped the twins to put on their clothes. After a while, Duanwu also ran out, and the family started to eat.

When Yang Xiaotao went out to work, the remaining snow in the yard had become a battlefield for the children to play.

Of course, there were also the shouts of parents in the yard.

These days, there are not many clothes. If they get wet, there is no change.

When I came to the machinery factory, I sat down with Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning and talked about the situation of the aircraft engine.

All that can be inspected have been inspected, and they are all qualified, meeting the standards set by the aircraft factory.

As for the follow-up arrangements, we can only wait for Mr. Chen's opinion.

The three met and talked for a while, and Yang Xiaotao went to the training ground to find Liang Zuoxin who was running in circles.

"I heard that you put everyone in a circle when you were in the military academy?"

Liang Zuoxin said happily, radiating heat from his body.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the training ground not far away, and a group of people were running in the ice and snow in short sleeves.

It really is winter training.

"That, it's not worth mentioning."

Yang Xiaotao waved his hands, looking like he had nothing to show off.

Liang Zuoxin grinned, then returned to normal.

I have become immune to this guy's thick skin.

After chatting with Liang Zuoxin for a while, he asked him to pay attention to the aircraft engine. It must be pulled back to the machinery factory today, and it must be paid special attention to in the future, and no mistakes can be made.

Liang Zuoxin naturally understood the meaning and would not be careless.

After finishing his business, Yang Xiaotao ran back to the office.

It's cold outside, but it's warm in the office.

I stayed in the room all morning, read the report for a while, and picked up the design drawings of the machine tool that Chang Mingjie sent last time.

Seeing these design drawings, Yang Xiaotao remembered the machine tool that Alfat sent last time.

I thought that after the machine tool arrived, it would be sent to the machinery factory first.

Who knew that when the people from the machinery factory went to receive the materials, they heard that the machine tool was borrowed by the people from the Second Machine Ministry.

Yes, it was what Mr. Chen said, borrowed.

As for what to do specifically, Mr. Chen didn't say, and Yang Xiaotao had no way to ask.

As for the research and promotion, they didn't know they had a system.

So this matter could only be put on hold, and when the Second Machine Department had finished using it, their machinery factory would come back to study it.

I just don't know if their machinery factory will make a better one after the Second Machine Department had finished using it.

After looking at Chang Mingjie's design drawings, Yang Xiaotao made a few changes on it, and then asked Lou Xiao'e to send the drawings over.

After doing this, Yang Xiaotao wanted to take out the book on artillery reconnaissance radar to continue studying, but as soon as he opened the page, he remembered what he promised Hao Pingchuan.

There was no news from Shanghai, which meant that Zheng Chaoyang was still preparing, or looking for a suitable opportunity.

At this time, the method Hao Pingchuan said might not be unreasonable.

Besides, this gas turbine is somewhat similar to a turbine engine.

Since the turbine engine has been designed, it should not be difficult to modify it and make a gas turbine for ships.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao made a preliminary gas turbine construction on paper.

Unlike the engines required for airplanes, ships, due to their size, need engines that are not as fast as airplanes, but must be powerful enough.

And they can work stably for a long time.

Continuously provide power for ships.

And to meet these two requirements, it seems simple, but it is difficult to do.

Nowadays, in addition to the United States, Britain can fully master this technology.

As for the Alliance, it is still very rough and far behind in this regard.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. Even if Yang Xiaotao fully mastered the design structure of the turbine engine, he was still a little overwhelmed at first.

Fortunately, he is not an ordinary person. Since there are difficulties, let the system help.

As long as you design it a few more times, through the system's continuous trial and error, you can always find the most suitable design.
