Scholars in the courtyard

Since Mr. Yang left, Yang Xiaotao felt that everyone in the courtyard was much kinder to him than before.

Every time I meet someone when I go out, I say hello, and some people even come up to say a few words.

He is truly worthy of being the wallflower of the courtyard.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao is happy to see this change and cannot avoid it.

Life goes on as usual, who doesn’t want to live a more comfortable life?

As for the Jia family, it is the spice of life. Irreconcilable conflicts cannot be diluted by time.

Yang Xiaotao didn't care about this. He wanted to clarify the relationship now and save things later...

When I come to the workshop, I still work, discuss, eat and then read.

The difference was that when he came to the restaurant, Shazhu's spoon-shaking technique seemed to have lost its power, and he gave Yang Xiaotao a spoonful of food, which contained twice as much meat as before.

Obviously, Silly Pillar is not stupid.

He also knew that targeting Yang Xiaotao at this time would definitely be thankless.

"Perhaps it has something to do with Mr. Yi."

Since that day, the first uncle began to stay away from his own life. No matter what happened, he would not be disturbed. If something happened, he would just let the third uncle know.

Yang Xiaotao knew their plan, which was just for everyone to go their own way and no one to disturb anyone.

"Just what I wanted."

Yang Xiaotao sat at the table and ate, then walked towards the director's office.

Now, I have finished reading the books at home, and my credits are stuck at the second level, which is just shy of reaching it.

So, he wanted to go to the library as soon as possible.

Arriving in the office, Yang Xiaotao walked up to director Wang Guodong.

"director!"

Wang Guodong is looking at the plan. Recently, there have been a lot of production tasks in the factory. Their third workshop has heavy tasks, which makes him breathless.

Seeing that the person coming was Yang Xiaotao, Wang Guodong immediately smiled on his face.

This child's father sacrificed his life for rescuing equipment.

Treating such children of martyrs, he naturally felt a sense of intimacy in his heart.

Looking at Yang Xiaotao now, I feel even more relieved to be close.

If this position was reserved for him so that he could support himself, then Yang Xiaotao's performance completely exceeded his expectations.

In the last grading assessment, I was able to complete the assessment in two months when faced with difficult questions. This kind of talent and hard work is absolutely awesome.

Especially after hearing what the team leader Wang Fa said, this kid is very talented in guiding newcomers, and several first-level workers and apprentices have made rapid progress.

In addition, the efficiency of the team has been greatly improved, and many work tasks have also been eased.

"Xiao Tao, what's the matter?"

Wang Guodong put the things in front of him aside, raised his head and asked kindly.

"Director, I want you to issue a certificate and go to the library to apply for a library card."

Yang Xiaotao explained the purpose of his visit, and Wang Guodong smiled. This child loves learning and reading, and he is a motivated child.

"The exam is coming soon, how are you preparing?"

Wang Guodong took out a pen and paper and started writing, while asking.

"It's not bad. I'm going to give it a try this time."

Wang Guodong nodded after writing. Regarding Yang Xiaotao's skills, Wang Fa said that it should not be a problem to upgrade to level two.

It's just that after the assessment a year ago, the assessment standards in the factory were raised a lot, so many people who could have passed were blocked.

The secretary of the steel rolling mill supports this matter, and these days, the workshop's production defective rate has been reduced by two percentage points, and efficiency has also improved.

However, it is a bit cruel to those entry-level workers who support their families.

"Then take the exam well and don't embarrass your father."

"Um."

Taking the letter of introduction, Yang Xiaotao left the office.

Director Liu of the second workshop in the same room watched Yang Xiaotao leave and said jokingly to Wang Guodong.

"Lao Wang, this newcomer in your workshop wants it."

"You are so motivated at such a young age, you have found a treasure."

Wang Guodong smiled, "You know what is precious or not, even the children of Lao Yang's family."

Director Liu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "What a pity, Old Yang!"

"Stop talking, Lao Liu, don't you have a backup machine? How about giving me one?"

"No! Our workshop is about to be expanded, and it comes in handy."

"Old Liu, you are unjust. Our workshop was hit by a fire last time and two machines were out of service. Why can't you carry forward revolutionary friendship?"

"Old Wang, there is something else to do in the workshop, I'll leave first."

"Hey, hey~"

Wang Guodong was so lonely that he scolded a few old guys in his heart, but he could only exploit the workshop employees.

"I hope more people can pass this assessment."

"No, I'll go find Lao Xu!"

Yang Xiaotao put the letter of introduction in the storage space after getting it, and went to the library after get off work.

He found out clearly that the library was open until nine o'clock in the evening, so he took the car there after get off work and had enough time.

Otherwise, it would take several days until the weekend, and he didn't want to wait so long, and he also wanted to see what benefits it would bring to upgrade the fitter to level two.

After get off work, Yang Xiaotao greeted his coworkers and left the factory first.

I picked up Xiaowei at the gate, then got on the bus and headed to the XC District Library.

The XC District Library is the closest library to the courtyard. Although it has only been established for two years, the library is a library and there must be many books in it.

Bang bang bang for more than half an hour, Yang Xiaotao came to the library and looked at the wall which was not tall. It was not much better than the library of the second-rate college in his previous life, but it allowed more people like him to see it. books.

Stepping on the cement steps, I looked at the slogans on the plaster walls.

"Books are the source of wisdom and the ladder of human progress!"

Slowly walking through the door, you feel like you are in another world.

It is peaceful and full of tranquility.

Rows of bookshelves are filled with books, and the air still smells of ink and paper. In front of each row of bookshelves, there are people sitting or standing, flipping through books.

Some people even selected books and took them to the reading area aside, greedily sucking in the knowledge contained in the books.

The sky has darkened, and the librarian has turned on the lights to illuminate the future of the readers.

Yang Xiaotao stood here, feeling that he was not a real scholar, because he studied for the system, for credits, and for life.

But think about it on the other hand, if the people in front of you were not here to make a living, would they come to study?

Life is not only about the present, but also poetry and distance.

"Hello, comrade."

Arriving in front of the librarian, there was a stack of books on a simple bookcase, and a middle-aged woman in her forties sat behind her.

"Hello, do you need anything?"

Compared with the waiters in the supply and marketing cooperative, the administrators here have a service attitude that the customers are God in future generations.

This is the difference between studying and not studying. At least in dealing with people, the quality is reflected.

"Hello, I'm a worker in a steel rolling mill. I'm here to apply for a student permit!"

With that said, Yang Xiaotao took out the letter of introduction and handed it over.

The administrator just looked at it for a while and started applying for a library card without verifying it.

Soon, a small palm-sized book became the library card of this era.

It has Yang Xiaotao's name, place of origin and work unit.

The next few pages are the names of books to be taken home and borrowed, which is also convenient for management.

There is no charge for reading books in the library, but if you take them home to read, each book requires a deposit of 10 cents. When the book is returned after reading, it can be returned if there is no damage.

In other words, as long as you have a dime and enough time, you can read all the books in the library.

Of course, you have to have time.

After applying for a library card, Yang Xiaotao walked around the library and then selected five books. In fact, it was the same book, but divided into five books.

The name is "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".

Now, Yang Xiaotao has discovered that reading this kind of historical text can not only be read, but can also be used as a spice for life.

The most important thing is that this book is written in vernacular Chinese, unlike the books found at shopping malls, which are all in obscure and difficult-to-understand classical Chinese.

As for modern literature, let’s leave that to later.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao had no intention of using the storage space to get library books. Not only can’t afford to lose that person. I don’t even want to tarnish my identity as a scholar.

I came to the cabinet, registered the book, paid 50 cents, and then left the library with it in my arms.

When I got home, it was already dark.

When passing by the front yard, only the third uncle's house still had the lights on, while other people had already turned off the lights and went to bed.

At this point, it’s probably around seven or eight o’clock.

"What an era that lacks entertainment!"

"No wonder watching a movie has become a grand event in all corners of the country."

Arrive at home, light the kerosene lamp, and turn on the stove.

He heated up two boxes of steamed buns and then ate the leftovers.

Xiaowei was also jumping around at this time, obviously very excited.

In the past few days, the light energy has been continuously absorbed, and a lot more energy has been fed back to Yang Xiaotao. The little changes every day have gradually improved Yang Xiaotao's physical fitness.

If he continues, it will be a matter of time before he becomes a sports athlete.

Of course, this little guy is of great use.

"When the weather gets warm, I'll make a paradise for you."

Yang Xiaotao, teasing the little guy, is full of hope for the future.

After dinner, Xiaowei hid in the wood as usual, showing her head from time to time and watching Yang Xiaotao reading.

As the night fell, Yang Xiaotao was flipping through the first book, which recorded the events of the three dynasties "Zhou Ji", "Qin Ji" and "Han Ji".

From the first article, Yang Xiaotao seems to be in a trance and out of control.

Perhaps this is the charm of reading history.

Until midnight, the lights in the room were still on. Under the dim kerosene lamp, Yang Xiaotao did not feel tired at all, but instead felt energetic.

After reading each article, it gave him some inspiration and gain. It was not until he finished reading the last article and gently closed the book that he realized that the east had turned white and the night had passed.

"Ding, the host has roughly read 1/5 of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and gained 25 points!!"

"Ding, the host's current credits are 512 points. Do you want to spend 500 credits to upgrade the fitter level?"

Yang Xiaotao took a nap, rubbed his sore eyes, and then stretched.

"yes!"

Confirmed in consciousness, the credits on the character attribute panel instantly changed from 512 to 12 points.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the main skill Fitter level has reached level two."

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the upgrade reward is 100 yuan. One Dali Pill. The storage space is increased by 10 cubic meters, and the current storage space is 110 cubic meters."

"Ding, congratulations to the host. The main skill has reached level two. The exchange bar is opened. The current exchange bar is 3 spaces."

"Ding, congratulations to the host. Your main skill has reached level two and you have acquired the sub-skill Fishing."

Yang Xiaotao felt a constant ding in his mind, and his originally sleepy brain became energetic at this moment.

For all the big readers and comrades out there, A Tao shamelessly asks for some recommendation votes, monthly votes, and rewards...
