Scholars in the courtyard

Ps: Dear friends, I received a notice from the editor that there will be a "best recommendation" tomorrow. Atao feels that he cannot be sorry for Penglai's hard work. Therefore, during the recommendation period, do your best to update.

I hope you guys will give me a subscription, a reward, a monthly pass...

Atao, thank you.

Of course, if there is an alliance leader, A Tao will receive an additional 10,000 updates.

——

At 1:30 in the afternoon, a jeep drove to the steel rolling mill. Liu Huaimin got out of the car with a smile, then said a few words to the driver, and the driver drove away.

Liu Huaimin jogged all the way to the office.

After a while, Yang Xiaotao was called over.

In the office, Yang Youning, Chen Gong, and Xu Yuanshan were all there. Several people gathered together again, as if they had realized something. When Yang Xiaotao came in, everyone smiled at him.

As soon as Yang Xiaotao sat down here, he watched Secretary Liu take out the documents, then showed them to a few people, then sat there and smiled knowingly.

This credit is guaranteed.

"The superior leaders attach great importance to this time, especially cooperating with brother departments, so that we must have a sense of unity."

“Moreover, considering the role of pressurized water wells, the two chief ministers will jointly classify them as a national agricultural subsidy project.”

After hearing this, Yang Youning's heart felt numb. This was a treatment that he didn't even enjoy the heating stove.

Once the national agricultural subsidies are established, there will be no need to worry about not having buyers, and the steel rolling mills will be open for production, so there will be no worries about not being able to sell.

Everyone understands the meaning. Although the profit will not be too much, being able to participate is an important honor in itself.

However, Secretary Liu hadn't finished speaking yet, "The higher-ups intend to finish it within two days and give it as a gift to the motherland."

A gift?

A gift!

Several people immediately became excited after hearing this, even Yang Xiaotao was also in agitated mood.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Chen Gong changed his usual composure and stood up from his seat, "The factory has produced about ten sets. Bring them all out and let's go experiment."

Yang Youning also nodded. Today is twenty-seventh, and the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I can't wait.

"Director Gao of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences means the same thing."

Secretary Liu said, and then said to Yang Xiaotao, "Secretary Gao said it must be applied on the farm, where you are familiar with it."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "My hometown, Yangjiazhuang, is right there."

"Well, what Director Gao means is that you should go back with this pressurized water well first, and tomorrow, we will go and testify together."

"No problem, I promise to complete the task."

Yang Xiaotao agreed, and Xu Yuanshan stood up and said, "Secretary Liu, someone from the steel rolling mill needs to come forward in this matter. I will go with you."

Liu Huaimin thought about it and felt that it would be more formal if Xu Yuanshan went there, so he agreed.

"That's it, I'll ask the team to dispatch a truck and bring the things with us."

"You can find a few more workers to follow, and this matter must be completed."

"yes!"

Yang Xiaotao and Xu Yuanshan left, while Chen Gong went to the workshop to supervise and strive to produce more pressurized water wells. Once the promotion started, the demand for pressurized water wells would only be in short supply.

"Uncle Xu, I'll go home and say something."

Yang Xiaotao talked to Xu Yuanshan, and Xu Yuanshan nodded, "Just wait at home. I'll ask the driver to transfer you."

"Okay, I'll leave first."

Xu Yuanshan nodded and went to find the car.

Yang Xiaotao rode his bicycle and quickly returned to the courtyard. In the middle courtyard, Mrs. Jia Zhang was still guarding the door, repeating, 'I'm so stupid, really.'

She already has 70% or 80% of the charm of Mrs. Xianglin.

As for other families, they are all busy packing and cleaning.

Ran Qiuye had already packed his things, but he didn't expect Yang Xiaotao to come back so early.

After explaining the situation, Ran Qiuye didn't think much about it and asked Yang Xiaotao to go back first so that she wouldn't cause any trouble.

But Yang Xiaotao had other ideas.

Soon, a large military green truck stopped outside the alley, attracting the children in the alley.

At the entrance of the courtyard, Xu Yuanshan and Wang Haolai walked together.

People who knew Xu Yuanshan were all surprised. This was the director of the steel rolling mill. What happened when such a big official came to the courtyard?

The third aunt in the front yard saw it from afar, and then heard Xu Yuanshan's identity from someone else's mouth, and immediately ran home in fright.

If you don’t do bad things, you won’t be afraid of ghosts coming to your door.

Who knows if they are here to investigate Jia Zhang’s money loss?

In the middle courtyard, Yang Xiaotao was carrying a backpack, and there were two baskets beside him, containing eggs and duck eggs, and a pocket at the back, all of which were prepared for the New Year.

"That's not good."

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just a free ride. It just serves the people."

Yang Xiaotao didn't care, he was just afraid that you, Ran Qiuye, would come with him. This cute bicycle is much more comfortable.

Ran Qiuye had no choice but to let Yang Xiaotao make the decision.

Xu Yuanshan and Wang Hao walked into the middle courtyard, and Jia Zhang, who was thinking quietly, saw the two of them.

She didn't recognize Xu Yuanshan, but Wang Hao did.

People from the security department came to this courtyard to arrest people last time.

In an instant, Mrs. Jia Zhang seemed to wake up from a dream and ran home quickly.

In the room, Qin Huairu was rubbing Jia Dongxu's legs without using any force on her hands.

Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang running back, her face no longer dull as usual in the morning, I felt that the original stupid, cunning, mean and evil mother-in-law was back.

Qin Huairu still hoped that she would be like this, at least not to suffer a loss.

If the man in the bed leaves and Jia Zhang becomes stupid again, she will really consider remarrying.

Fortunately, Jia Zhang is back again.

"I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death!"

Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang lying on the crack of the door, Qin Huairu stepped forward and asked, "Mom, are you okay? Are you not stunned anymore?"

Jia Zhang was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Huairu, I'm fine, I'm fine!"

Jia Zhang was dancing around in the room, making Jia Dongxu open his eyes, and then closed them sickly, unable to keep up with his energy.

After a while of commotion, Mrs. Jia Zhang thought of the lost money again and felt depressed.

"That bastard who stole my money, I cursed him to death by choking on food, drinking water, and being hit while walking..."

Jia Zhang cursed, which made Qin Huairu upset, so she got up and walked out.

When they came to the yard, they saw Yang Xiaotao leading Ran Qiuye to carry things, Wang Hao behind him was helping to carry the belt, and Xu Yuanshan was also helping to carry the basket.

The four people holding things immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In the front yard, Yan Jiefang saw the big car at the entrance of the alley, and immediately ran back to shout. People in the yard quickly realized that it was from the steel rolling mill, and then watched a few people walking towards the car.

The driver Yang Xiaotao also knew him, Liu Jun, who went to the machine repair shop to pick up the old sow last time.

However, after the last accident, the captain of the convoy was removed, and the original deputy captain Liu Jun became the captain. This time he personally drove the water well to Yangjiazhuang.

"Uncle Liu, this is my partner. This time I will take a ride back to my hometown."

"Qiuye, this is the captain of the rolling mill team, Uncle Liu."

"Uncle Liu!"

Liu Jun smiled heartily, "Okay, get in the car quickly. It's cold outside!"

Yang Xiaotao helped sit Ran Qiuye in the passenger seat and stuffed the items into the car. The three of Yang Xiaotao sat in the back compartment.

Fortunately, there are only ten sets of pressurized water wells delivered this time, so it is not too crowded for three people to go in.

The car started in front of a group of old people and children in the courtyard, and there was another wave of surprise.

Qin Huairu watched the car leave, feeling disappointed. At this age, she had never made a car before.

As for the bicycle, I only rode it once during my wedding.

Sad.

Equally saddened was Jia Zhang.

Of course, her way of expression is very direct.

"Why are you so arrogant? You evil-hearted little beast, is that car something you can do? Just sit there and wait for God's punishment."

"Bah. A family is nothing."

Mrs. Jia Zhang cursed, but saw the stuck start disappearing in front of her eyes. She turned her eyes and looked towards the Yang family yard.

There are a lot of good things in Yang Xiaotao's house.

However, after one glance, I didn't dare to look again. Thinking of that day when Wangcai knocked someone to the ground with his claws and bared his fangs, I shuddered in my heart and felt a chill on my back.

"My money!"

Feeling sad, Jia Zhang shouted again and walked towards the entrance of the alley.

Look again, maybe you can find it.

"Director Wang, you are coming this time too."

In the carriage, Yang Xiaotao and Wang Hao were sitting side by side, while Xu Yuanshan was smoking a cigarette on the other side.

The three of them approached the front of the car to block the wind.

"How could such a big matter be without our security department?"

Wang Hao smiled, but threw the cigarette butt out, then opened the canvas bag in his arms, revealing the black leather pocket inside.

"Is this a camera?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the surprise and asked.

When he and Ran Qiuye got married, he also wanted to find a photo studio to take wedding photos, but he really couldn't find one in Sijiu City, and he was not in a good mood at this time. Yang Xiaotao mentioned this to Ran Qiuye, but Ran Qiuye was not very interested. , this matter will be settled.

"Yeah, a serious Shanghai brand camera."

Wang Hao said with a proud look on his face.

"this is yours?"

"You really dare to think that this belongs to our steel rolling mill, what else would I do?"

"Let me tell you, your security department has come out on this matter. It turns out it's to protect important assets."

Yang Xiaotao said, but his eyes were looking at a camera. This thing was rarer than a radio.

"Director Wang, let me take a look."

"Don't think about it. The secretary told me that the machine is close to me and no one can touch it."

"Halo, can you use it?"

"Of course. I'm here to take photos part-time. This time, the factory director specifically requested it."

"This thing is a little troublesome to handle, and it's expensive. If you can't fix it, you'll have to stop doing it. This is what I used to do in the army..."

As the two of them talked, the car had already left Sijiu City. The dirt road was full of potholes and started to bump.

Yang Xiaotao steadied himself, then pulled his backpack to his chest and took out three small porcelain bottles from the bag.

If there is still packaging on the small porcelain bottle, you will definitely be able to identify it as Erguotou in later generations.

"Uncle Xu, Mr. Wang, it's cold. Please drink something to warm yourself up."

Yang Xiaotao happily handed it to Xu Yuanshan and Wang Hao. As for Liu who was driving, he should wait until he got off the car.

Driving, not drinking.

Xu Yuanshan and Wang Hao passively took the small bottle, a little surprised.

Yang Xiaotao directly unscrewed the bottle cap and put it in his mouth. The spicy white wine flowed into his stomach, and a wave of warmth spread throughout his body.

Now the smell of alcohol came out. How could Xu Yuanshan and the two of them not know what it was?

Wang Hao is still hesitating. Now he is on a mission. Can he drink?

Xu Yuanshan doesn't care at that time, what does this little wine mean?

He opened the lid, took a sip, and frowned. This was very exciting.

"Erguotou? Pure grain?"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and nodded. Xu Yuanshan picked up the bottle and took a sip without asking where he came from.

Making wine requires food, but these days there is not enough food to eat, so how can there be extra wine?

Therefore, this wine has become a scarce commodity, and wine tickets are even more difficult to obtain.

In this way, high-quality grain wine will be more difficult to obtain.

Yang Xiaotao motioned to Wang Hao to try it, "Drink some to warm yourself up."

Seeing this, Wang Hao was a good drinker himself, and after hearing what Xu Yuanshan said, he was not obsessed.

Learn to open the wine bottle and take a sip.

Ahem

"This wine is delicious."

Wang Hao covered his mouth and coughed twice, while Yang Xiaotao smiled on the side.

This is Erguotou at 56 degrees.

I brought it home specifically to honor my grandfather, but there is still some inventory in the space, so there will be no shortage when the time comes.

The three of them were in the car, taking a sip from time to time. The car also slowed down, and after a while, they appeared in front of the village.

Several surrounding villages understood that the truck was coming, and many children ran and shouted behind the truck.

Some familiar people greeted Yang Xiaotao, and some even recognized that the person sitting in the passenger seat was Teacher Ran from Yangjiazhuang Primary School. News that Teacher Ran was making trucks quickly spread.

When the car passed by Qinjia Village, the villagers basking in the sun on the roadside stared at it again.

At the entrance of the village, Qin Jingru was combing her big black braids and ignoring the young man at the door. Qin's mother was saying this to an old woman next to her.

The young man looked at Qin Jingru with tenderness, but Qin Jingru didn't speak at all.

Finally, the old woman noticed the situation and asked her son to leave.
