Scholars in the courtyard

When Yang Xiaotao returned to Sijiucheng again, the sky had already darkened.

The car did not return to the Nine Departments. After saying goodbye to Chen Gong, it drove to the Siheyuan.

The weather gradually warmed up, and people had no activities at night. Chatting, playing chess and cards became the main activities at night.

Especially under the street lights, clusters of people gathered together, which was extremely lively.

When he walked into the alley, Yang Xiaotao met many acquaintances. After meeting them, he walked towards the Siheyuan.

Outside the gate, Yan Fugui was explaining something to Yan Jiekuang. When he saw Yang Xiaotao coming over, he smiled and said, "Xiao Yang is back."

"Uncle Yan is busy."

"Not busy, not busy, I received a letter from the second brother. I just wrote a reply and asked the third brother to run errands and put it in the mailbox."

Yan Fugui looked happy. I think Yan Jiefang sent back a lot of things.

However, speaking of this, Yan Jiefang has now become the production supervisor of the second branch, and his job is considered stable.

His wife gave birth to another fat boy, and he can be considered a family man.

Compared with the original novel, Yan Jiefang has changed a lot.

So it is normal for Yan Fugui to be happy.

After saying a few words, Yang Xiaotao walked towards the middle courtyard.

Comrade Lao Jin and Ms. Cui will return to Shanghai in two days, and Yang Xiaotao has to spend more time with them.

When he came to the yard, Ran Qiuye was walking with Cuiping with her belly bulging, and Ms. Cui was busy cooking!

Calculating the time, the due date of both of them is around May.

In this situation, it is no longer suitable to work in the countryside, and the education department is a bit chaotic, and no one cares about their affairs.

For this reason, Ran Qiuye also reported to the relevant departments, but there was no result.

It happened that this period of time was gradually noisy, and Yang Xiaotao was happy to let Ran Qiuye stay in the yard.

He also had energy to focus on work.

When he came to the house, he saw Comrade Lao Jin and Lao Dao fighting on the chessboard.

Yang Xiaotao came forward and took a look at the chessboard. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong.

The old Taoist's chess skills should not be good after his "sharpening"!

Maybe Comrade Lao Jin was leaving, so the old Taoist gave in.

Just after taking two steps, he heard Lao Jin shouting, "Pick it up, pick it up and you have to move!"

"I'm thinking..."

"This is the rule! Don't cheat!"

"I..."

...

"Hey, you have to put my pieces in the box after eating them. This is agreed!"

"Twice, if you do it again, you lose..."

"I..."

The old Taoist was speechless!

Yang Xiaotao paused.

Okay, this is an off-board move!

It's just...

Too shameless!

Putting down the backpack, Yang Xiaotao asked Xiaowei to go to the yard to look after the vegetables and fruits planted.

Last time, it took a lot of effort to clear Ye Lao's body.

So Xiaowei mainly accumulated energy during this period.

After returning home, Yang Xiaotao took out the food from the pot, ate a few bites, and then walked around the yard with his family.

Comrade Lao Jin has lived here for more than half a year, and everyone in the yard is familiar with him, so he is reluctant to leave.

But he also knows that if the two of them live here, they will have to be taken care of by their grandson's family, especially since his grandson's wife is pregnant, which is not appropriate.

In addition, he has to go back to Shanghai to take a look, especially the automobile factory he has been running for most of his life. If he doesn't go to take a look, he will really miss it.

"Xiao Tao, don't you plan to build an automobile factory in the Ninth Department?"

After taking two steps, Lao Jin spoke again.

Yang Xiaotao knew Lao Jin's thoughts clearly and understood that this was for the Shanghai Automobile Factory.

In his eyes, this was for the better development of the automobile factory.

But the reality is that in Yang Xiaotao's eyes, an independently developed automobile manufacturing plant is the most suitable.

And the future Shanghai Automobile Factory has a reputation, which is no worse than Jiefang.

At least, Yang Xiaotao doesn't have the energy to intervene now.

Yang Xiaotao shook his head directly, "I don't have such plans for the time being."

Old Jin was a little disappointed, and then asked, "Is there any cooperation?"

"No."

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's straightforward answer, Old Jin sighed helplessly.

Ms. Cui and Ran Qiuye on the side covered their mouths and laughed. In the end, it was Ms. Cui who was familiar with her old man's mind, "You are talking as if you can't live without the Ninth Department."

"Isn't the car factory good now? Why do you care about this and that?"

"You are just a retired person now, don't make trouble."

Old Jin curled his lips after hearing this, but did not refute.

Cooperation requires effort.

What is there in the Shanghai car factory that is worthy of the Ninth Department's attention?

If I insist, wouldn't it be using the resources of the Ninth Department to support the car factory?

What's the difference between that and embezzlement?

"Forget it, everyone has their own fate, don't worry about it."

Hearing Old Jin say this, Yang Xiaotao knew that the matter had come to an end for the time being.

The next day, the sun rose, the temperature rose, and the city of Sijiu was full of spring.

Yang Xiaotao sat in the car, watching the willow trees sprouting on the side of the road, thinking it was a good day for an outing.

Unfortunately, this kind of life will become less and less in the future.

When he arrived at the Ninth Department, Yang Xiaotao handled his official business as usual.

When it was almost noon, he picked up the phone and called Li Chengjun of the Second Factory.

Li Chengjun returned to the Second Factory a year ago and brought back the news of the establishment of the Ninth Department.

Of course, the Second Factory has now been renamed the Red Star Machinery Factory.

This can also be regarded as a kind of inheritance.

People in the first branch factory had some opinions about the name change. They thought that even if it was a succession, it should be the first branch factory that inherited it. Now, although the first branch factory is also a machinery factory, it lacks the two words "Red Star".

This made everyone from the factory director Sun Guo to the ordinary employees confused.

Later, when the Yanzhou branch factory learned about this, Zhan Lei also called and said that they were the same as the second branch factory. All departments had occupied it, and they could also inherit the name.

Later, Yang Youning went there and told the future plan of the first branch factory, which calmed down the anger.

It can be seen that the five words "Red Star Machinery Factory" are very important.

Therefore, after the second branch factory received this news, the whole factory was boiling.

Because this means that the superiors have them in mind and do not despise them because they are located in a remote area.

In the workshop.

Yan Jiefang was leading people to inspect the production of four-cylinder diesel engines.

"Director! Good morning."

At the entrance of the workshop, Yan Jiefang met Li Chengjun and Fang Yuan and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

"Director Yan, good morning."

Li Chengjun smiled kindly, he had known Yan Jiefang before.

The most important thing is that this kid is from the same hospital as Yang Xiaotao, and it was Yang Xiaotao who encouraged him to come to the northwest.

"Everything is OK in the workshop."

"Director, no problem, everything is fine."

Yan Jiefang said quickly, Li Chengjun nodded, and then walked towards the workshop.

"I heard that you are studying recently?"

No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

Yan Jiefang nodded, "Yes, I didn't study hard in school in the early years, but fortunately I picked it up and learned more."

"Well, this is a good habit. It's never too late to learn."

"In this regard, you should learn from Yang Bu. I heard that he loved to study in the early years."

Speaking of Yang Xiaotao, Yan Jiefang nodded immediately, "Yes, Yang Bu not only studied in the factory, but also kept a book in his hand in the yard. The rest of us were playing outside, and he was reading at home."

"At that time, many people in the yard laughed at Yang Bu."

"Now, those who laughed at Yang Bu have become a joke."

Yan Jiefang smiled. In his heart, Yang Xiaotao was his idol.

Even if he could not reach Yang Xiaotao's level, learning from Yang Xiaotao would be beneficial to him.

What's more, his wife also encouraged him to study.

"Yes, whoever laughs at Yang's department is now a joke."

Li Chengjun smiled, then patted Yan Jiefang on the shoulder, "Study hard, you are still young, and there will be heavy responsibilities for you to bear in the future."

"Yes, I promise not to disappoint the leader's instructions."

Li Chengjun smiled and hammered his chest, "It's an instruction."

"You haven't read this book yet."

Yan Jiefang smiled embarrassedly.

Not far away, Liu Haizhong was hammering carefully with a hammer.

Beside him were the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

The northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and it is even more scarce for industry.

So there are not many people who can become workers.

"Dad, hurry up, don't look."

Liu Guangtian wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted to Liu Haizhong who was in a daze.

Liu Guangfu straightened his back after hearing this, looked at Yan Jiefang who was passing by not far away, then looked at Liu Haizhong, and then said, "Don't look at him, he is the director, don't even think about it."

Liu Haizhong heard his two sons snort, "What's wrong with the director? The director also serves the people."

"From the revolutionary nature, the director and the team leader are all leading the service, they are all the same."

Hearing that their father started that again, the two brothers looked at each other and walked aside to continue working.

"You two bastards, come here quickly."

Liu Haizhong saw that his audience had left, and hurriedly shouted.

Unexpectedly, Liu Guangtian shook his head, "We are working, we don't have time."

"Hey, you two are itching, right?"

Liu Haizhong put on the airs of a parent, but the two brothers just shrugged their shoulders, not afraid at all.

Now in this family, they are the main force.

In addition, the mother is of the same mind as them, so Liu Haizhong still wants to act like a tyrant in the courtyard, that's a dream.

Seeing that the two ignored him, Liu Haizhong stretched out his fingers and trembled with anger, but he also knew what the two relied on, and snorted coldly before saying, "I am now ordering you to come over to work as a team leader."

Hearing Liu Haizhong say this, the two sighed.

The only thing that made the two brothers reluctant was that their team leader was their own old man.

Seeing the two coming, Liu Haizhong was very satisfied.

Then he felt the importance of "power".

Watching Yan Jiefang walk away, Liu Haizhong raised his eyebrows. If I remember correctly, Yan Jiefang's wife was problematic.

This is an opportunity.

"Director, Yang's call is looking for you."

The voice of the secretary came from not far away, and Li Chengjun hurried to the office.

After the two got through the phone, Yang Xiaotao announced some decisions of the Ninth Department, and then talked about security work.

"You have to do a solid job in security work there."

"I will transfer some people back to use after a while!"

Before hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao's two sentences made Li Chengjun realize the main purpose of this call.

After leaving the office, Li Chengjun planned to talk to Mr. He.

Sijiucheng.

Yang Xiaotao put down the phone, then stood up and walked out.

Just now, Lou Xiaoe said that Mr. Song from the Chinese Academy of Sciences came to see him and was now in the reception room accompanied by Mr. Hong.

This was also the reason why he ended the call quickly.

"Mr. Song, we are honored to have you here."

Yang Xiaotao walked in with a smile, and Mr. Song stood up and said, "You are a distinguished guest. If your house is a shabby one, it would be a bad place."

"Please sit down, please sit down."

Yang Xiaotao said politely, and then looked at Lao Hong.

The two chatted for a while, and they should have some ideas.

But Lao Hong just smiled, obviously Mr. Song didn't speak.

"Mr. Song, what are you doing?"

Yang Xiaotao planned to ask directly. Although the two sides were not so familiar with each other, they were not strangers.

It's better to ask directly than to waste words.

Old Song took a sip of water, then smiled and said, "Your Ninth Department has cooperated with 137 and the logistics department. What's wrong? Do you look down on our Chinese Academy of Sciences?"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh."

"Old Song, you can't say that. If you tell others, they will misunderstand us, and our Ninth Department won't have to do anything else."

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly explained. Old Song didn't say much and said directly, "I came here this time to cooperate with you to develop integrated circuit computers."

Now it was Yang Xiaotao's turn to be surprised, but after experiencing so many ups and downs, he has also practiced not showing anger when he is happy. He calmly picked up the cup on the table and took a sip, and then asked solemnly, "Old Song, how do you want to cooperate?"
