Scholars in the courtyard

After leaving the Red Star Machinery Factory, Mr. Peng and Mr. Chen sat in the car.

"Old Chen, what do you think will happen to the aircraft from the Red Star Machinery Factory?"

Mr. Peng suddenly asked.

Mr. Chen pondered for a moment and then said, "The original intention of the Red Star Machinery Factory is to utilize their engines."

"And the performance of this engine is even better than that produced by the Third Machinery Department."

"And you see, this design drawing clearly shows that there are two engines. In other words, the speed of this aircraft will definitely exceed that of Shengjing."

Mr. Chen expressed his judgment, and Mr. Peng pursed his lips and nodded, "So you are more optimistic about the aircraft from this machine factory, right?"

"Yes, I believe in the design of the machinery factory, and even more so in Yang Xiaotao's design."

"This can be guaranteed from the previous engines and machine tools."

"What's more, in order to manufacture airplanes, the machinery factory specially built a Mercury machine tool."

"This is the best machine tool in the country."

Mr. Peng nodded again, then thought for a moment, and then sighed.

"At the last meeting, even though we talked about three ways, we have to implement it."

“However, given our current situation and limited resources, we must prioritize and make choices.”

Mr. Chen immediately agreed after hearing this, "I agree with your judgment."

"Three roads going hand in hand will only slow down the progress. On the contrary, focusing on breakthroughs is the most suitable for the current moment."

"Well, so, I want to bet my money on the machine factory's plane."

Mr. Peng said seriously. Mr. Chen leaned back in his chair and nodded lightly.

"Our machine shop, no problem."

"I believe it too, Comrade Yang Xiaotao!"

While people in the machinery factory were looking for Yang Xiaotao everywhere, Yang Xiaotao came to the West Garden on a bicycle carrying the fish he caught.

I originally wanted to rest when I got home, but when I got home, I remembered that Ran Qiuye came to report to her elder sister.

He also thought about visiting the old man and connecting with Tong Xiaolong.

So he came with the fish he caught.

The guard at the door naturally knew Yang Xiaotao, but before he could report, he saw Tong Xiaolong passing by. After seeing Yang Xiaotao, he immediately ran over.

"Brother Xiaotao, why do you come here when you have time?"

"What's going on?"

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and picked up the fish and eggs in his hand, "It's okay, I just came to see the leader!"

After hearing this, Tong Xiaolong took Yang Xiaotao in and helped Yu.

"Did you catch this?"

"Of course, my fishing ability is second to none, but no one dares to say that I am first."

Yang Xiaotao boasted, but Tong Xiaolong believed it. After all, he didn't know how to fish, but when he saw that Yang Xiaotao could catch fish, he felt great.

Several people walked around and soon arrived at the courtyard.

"Sister! Look who's coming!"

Yang Xiaotao walked in, and Ran Qiuye was talking to the eldest sister.

There was Secretary Tang on the side, reaching out to pat a child in front of him to attract attention.

The three people's eyes were on the child who was trying to learn to walk.

Yang Xiaotao looked over and saw that the child was only one or two years old. He was learning to walk in the courtyard at the moment, but he looked a bit familiar.

Tong Xiaolong's voice immediately attracted the attention of the three people.

In an instant, the three of them turned around and saw Yang Xiaotao.

Then the three of them felt their hearts pounding.

Especially Tang Mingyue, who subconsciously turned to look at her son.

Ran Qiuye also panicked, fearing that Yang Xiaotao would see something, so he quickly stood up and stood in front of him.

The eldest sister responded the fastest, "We were talking about you just now, and then you came."

"It really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao have arrived!"

The eldest sister said, attracting Yang Xiaotao's attention.

Yang Xiaotao looked away from the child on the side, and then said with a smile, "I got off work early today, so I came to see you and the chief."

The eldest sister smiled and said, "Then you're late. Your chief hasn't come back from the meeting yet."

"The chief is so busy, so you have to take care of yourself."

Yang Xiaotao immediately expressed concern, but when he glanced at Tong Xiaolong beside him, he immediately understood that the eldest sister was joking.

Sure enough, the next second the old man walked out of the house wearing a white shirt and holding a paper airplane in his hand. He was also stunned when he saw Yang Xiaotao.

Just now, he received a call from Mr. Chen and told him what happened in the machinery factory.

I also knew that this guy gave the workers a holiday, which made Lao Peng and the others even more disappointed.

Then he saw the fish in Yang Xiaotao's hand and the haggard look on his face.

At this time, I didn’t forget to come see him. My heart suddenly felt warm!

"Come here, do you have anything else to bring?"

"Qiuye brought it, so do you. Let's bring two loads of things together as a family."

The old man walked to the child with a smile, put the paper airplane in his hand, and gestured with the child's hand.

Yang Xiaotao quickly answered, "Of course, Qiuye comes to see eldest sister, and I come to see you."

The eldest sister was unhappy and said, "If you don't look at me, I won't cook for you."

"Then let me come, I just brought some fish, try my skills!"

The eldest sister smiled and said, "You are openly bribing me."

"That's not true. I didn't buy the fish. It doesn't cost money. It doesn't count as a bribe."

"Okay, you guys, sit down quickly."

"Xiaolong, send the things to the kitchen."

Tong Xiaolong responded, then ran back with the fish in hand.

The old man found a place to sit down, then picked up the child who was walking with the stool beside him and sat him aside.

Yang Xiaotao came to sit down next to Ran Qiuye.

"Are you free today?"

"I finished my work at the factory, so I came to see him."

Yang Xiaotao replied, and then asked, "Whose child is this? Brother Tong's? Isn't he a girl?"

"Why does he look a little, a little, familiar?"

Yang Xiaotao's voice was not loud, but people nearby could hear it.

Ran Qiuye panicked, and Tang Mingyue clenched her fists with her back to Yang Xiaotao.

Finally, the eldest sister said, "This is my relative's child. How is it? Is he cute?"

"Yes, he is very cute, with a chubby head."

"Hey, I know."

Yang Xiaotao suddenly pointed at the child in the old man's arms. At this time, Xingxing also looked at Yang Xiaotao, and the two happened to meet each other's eyes.

Tang Mingyue felt that her heartbeat had stopped, and Ran Qiuye was ready to speak the truth.

The eldest sister and the old man exchanged glances without any expression, but Yang Xiaotao spoke up at this time, "I know, the clothes this child is wearing are from Duanwu, I was wondering why they look so familiar."

"It looks the same as Duanwu."

Yang Xiaotao laughed.

The others all breathed a sigh of relief, and Ran Qiuye nodded, "Duanwu still has a lot of clothes, just right for my brother to wear."

Tang Mingyue shook her head at Ran Qiuye, who immediately understood.

"That's right, my family still has clothes for girls."

"When we have a girl, this sister will have more clothes to wear."

The eldest sister shook her head and laughed, "How did you know it would be a girl?"

"Intuition."

Everyone was stunned by Yang Xiaotao's answer, and then laughed.

"This kid has grown teeth."

Looking at the child in the old man's arms smiling with his mouth open, revealing a few small teeth, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but become curious.

"It takes eight months to grow teeth."

The old man smiled and gestured to Yang Xiaotao, "Wake up, go play with uncle."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao immediately stood up and walked over, "Wake up? This nickname is good, what's the real name?"

Yang Xiaotao walked forward, and the elder sister next to him said, "Children, just call them by their nicknames!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't care, their children were also called by nicknames, which was easy to call.

Only when they go to school, they call them by their real names.

"Come, wake up, uncle hugs you."

The little guy was not afraid of strangers, and took the child from the old man's arms, saying, "Oh, it's still a little heavy, it seems to eat well!"

"Come on, uncle will take you to fly~"

Hahaha

Hehe~~~

Tang Mingyue stood aside, Ran Qiuye stepped forward and held each other's hands, and the two watched Yang Xiaotao holding the child around the yard.

"Duanwu was also like this when he was a child."

"But when he grew up, he took on the airs of a father."

Ran Qiuye smiled, "But he really likes his daughters."

"At this age, Duanwu has been beaten a lot, but he has never touched his three daughters."

"Sometimes I change my face, and he goes to be a good person in private."

Tang Mingyue listened quietly, then laughed, "It seems that this guy owed a lot of marriage debts in his previous life."

Then he looked at Ran Qiuye, "You have to watch it carefully."

Ran Qiuye smiled confidently, "We should watch it together."

Tang Mingyue's face turned red all of a sudden!

At noon, on the dining table.

Yang Xiaotao put the braised carp in the middle, and the fragrance was overflowing.

There were many people eating, and the dining table was very lively.

"Xiao Tao, I heard that you have built a machine tool?"

"Yes, Chief, our machine tool is called Mercury, and it was developed with reference to the best machine tool in France."

"But Chief, our machine tool is better than the French one."

Yang Xiaotao said seriously, and the old man nodded.

"But I heard that this machine tool is very difficult and requires a lot of resources?"

"Yes, the last time a Mercury machine tool was produced, it took more than 40 Morning Star machine tools."

Yang Xiaotao thought for a while and replied, "But these are all worth it. With this Mercury machine tool, we can make airplanes better."

"Well, Lao Chen called me just now. I heard that you have made the design drawings of the airplane?"

Yang Xiaotao picked up the wine glass and poured it for the old man, "Yes, it was just confirmed this morning. The overall structure has been made, and the rest is supplementary!"

The old man rubbed his fingers on the wine glass after hearing this.

He naturally knew about the little black bird.

He also knew the current situation. The country was helpless in this regard!

When the elder sisters and the others heard the two talking, they all lowered their voices and listened carefully.

Tong Xiaolong even took Yang Xiaotao's wine bottle and poured wine for them.

"How confident are you?"

The old man asked carefully.

Yang Xiaotao didn't think much about it, "It can definitely be done!"

"As for whether it can achieve the predetermined goal, it depends on how far it can be done!"

"You also know that domestic resources are limited, and many good designs are ultimately defeated by practical difficulties, so..."

Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything more, because everyone present knew.

Even Ran Qiuye, who has been with Yang Xiaotao for so long, knows something.

The old man was silent for a moment, and then said, "Just do your best!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Don't worry, our machinery factory has made so many preparations just for this last hammer!"

The old man smiled, "That's good!"

"Come on, let's eat, eat!"

After everyone heard this, they immediately picked up their chopsticks.

"Chief, I respect you!"

"good…"

…

The lunch lasted until almost two o'clock, and then Yang Xiaotao left with Ran Qiuye.

After the two people left, the old man came to the conference room and picked up the phone to make a call.

"Lao Peng, it's me!"

"Well, Yang Xiaotao was here just now, and I happened to have something to suggest to you!"

"I think..."

When the old man finished speaking, Mr. Peng fell silent on the other end of the phone.

"I know, I will consider it carefully!"

After a long time, Mr. Peng's voice came, and the old man hung up the phone.

On the side, Tang Mingyue couldn't help clenching her fists after hearing the old man's suggestion. Now she finished the phone call and spoke.

"Chief, isn't this arrangement too hasty?"

"After all, he, Yang Xiaotao, is too young!"

After hearing this, the old man waved his hand and said, "We revolutionary comrades don't talk about seniority!"

"Whoever has the ability will be in charge!"

"If we adopt that set of formalism, will the revolution still have a future?"

The old man said with a serious look on his face, "Besides, I think he can do it!"
