Scholars in the courtyard

When Jia Zhang saw the oil paper bag in Banggeng's arms and smelled the smell inside, she immediately hugged Banggian and kissed her.

"He is indeed a good grandson of our Jia family. His sharp eyesight is really easy to use."

"If you eat that bad guy Xu Damao, you will be doing harm to the people."

Qin Huairu smiled after hearing this, but picked up the oil paper bag and put it inside to hide it.

"This roast duck will be eaten tonight. Don't let anyone smell it."

"That's right, don't eat it yet, eat it later in the evening."

Mrs. Jia Zhang touched Banggeng's head, full of kindness.

Xiaodang stood aside and gestured with his thumb to Banggeng, making Banggong feel proud.

In the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao rode back to the courtyard.

As soon as we arrived at the front yard, we heard Yan Fugui's voice, and the house was jumping and banging. I thought to myself, is this the house being demolished?

After carrying the car through the gate, I saw a group of people watching the fun. In front of me, Sha Zhu and Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang were hugging each other. On the side, Yu Li and the third aunt were anxious, and Yan Fugui was hiding behind the door, looking pitiful.

However, the Yan brothers were obviously Si Zhu's opponents, and they were being pushed to the ground and beaten by Si Zhu at the moment.

"Yan Laoxi, you are still a fucking teacher of the people, and you are still a third uncle. You are no longer a human being, right?"

Silly Zhu shouted, and Yang Xiaotao was confused.

He glanced at Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, why didn't these two uncles care?

Aren't the three uncles one body?

What's going on?

Before Yang Xiaotao could find anyone to ask, he heard Yan Fugui shouting, "Silly Zhu, you guys, don't you understand me? I won't do anything illegal or say anything excessive."

"When people ask me, I tell you truthfully, what's the difference between you and a gangster?"

Yan Fugui stretched out his hands to protect his head. There was a red mark on his face, and the legs of his glasses were broken and hung on his ears.

"You seek truth from facts, and I will ask you to seek truth from facts."

When Shazhu heard this, he became even more angry and struggled to fight.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way."

At this moment, Yan Jiekuang finally called the police.

When two police officers came over, Shazhu immediately became obedient and did not move, letting the police control the scene.

"Comrades from the public security department, you have to take care of me. This idiot is beating people. You can see how he beat my men and children. Oh, my God."

The third aunt rushed out and cried to the police.

The two stopped the scene and began to ask about the cause of the situation. After a while, they determined the responsibility and took Sha Zhu and Yan Fugui away.

The yard was peaceful again, except for the Yan family members who were still chatting.

Yang Xiaotao returned home and listened in the yard for a while before he knew the cause and effect.

Regarding the issue of Silly Zhu's origin, he had long expected that such a day would come.

This is an era when birth determines destiny.

If you, a middle peasant, don't have this awareness, you might as well just live your life as a cook.

It's not impossible to get married, you just have to find someone who is a good match.

Well, they are a perfect match.

When Xu Damao was beaten, it was purely because Silly Zhu vented his anger on him, and he deserved it.

As for Silly Zhu seeking revenge on him, haha.

Yang Xiaotao will give him an unforgettable lesson.

After going home and tidying up, Yang Xiaotao continued to design the steam engine after dinner, striving to complete the well drilling machine as soon as possible. The village had already begun plowing the ground. If it didn't rain, they would have to rely on manual watering.

The earlier you dig a well, the earlier you will harvest. Yang Xiaotao understands this.

backyard

Yi Zhonghai walked out from the deaf old lady, looking decadent.

I don’t know what happened, but I came to the old lady today to discuss Silly Zhu’s matter. As a result, the old lady didn’t speak during the whole process, and she was completely different from the past.

Even while he was talking, the old lady actually shed tears.

What are these things?

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to go to the third uncle's house to have a look. No matter what, nothing would happen to Silly Zhu.

In the room behind her, the deaf old lady stood up tremblingly and closed the doors and windows tightly. The room was dark, as if she was afraid of seeing the light.

Yi Zhonghai came to the front yard, and Yan Fugui had already returned.

The temples of the spectacles were broken and were being tied up with strips of cloth. The redness and swelling on his face had subsided a bit, and they looked less eye-catching.

When Yi Zhonghai came over, the third aunt pouted angrily. Yu Li was cooking aside and ignored Yi Zhonghai.

When Yan Fugui saw it, he just raised his head, still feeling angry.

As soon as he was old, he was beaten by Shazhu, and what was even more outrageous was that Yi Zhonghai Liu Haizhong actually watched the fun outside and left it alone, which made him feel psychologically uncomfortable.

Yan Fugui ignored him, but Yi Zhonghai had a clear mind.

When he was slapped by Yang Xiaotao, he also resented Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong.

If you think about it, you can't blame Yan Fugui for being like this.

"Lao Yan, twenty yuan for writing a letter of understanding."

Yi Zhonghai said straight to the point, "Then Zhu Zhu comes out and I ask him to reimburse you for your medical expenses."

"Whether it works or not, in one sentence, I will leave tomorrow morning at the latest."

Yi Zhonghai turned around and left without giving Yan Fugui a chance to speak.

He understands Yan Fugui's personality and will not do anything that would result in a loss.

After being beaten, others would have to let the attacker squat on the fence, but Yan Fugui would not do it. As long as there was profit, it would be enough for him to get compensation. What's wrong with a beating?

Yi Zhonghai believed in his own judgment, so he went straight to the point without looking at his family members' faces.

Yi Zhonghai left and Yan Fugui stood up reluctantly.

Yan Jiecheng sighed at the side, "Dad, leave him alone, this time we must let Silly Zhu squat on the fence."

"Yes, it hurts me to death. I must squat on the fence."

Yan Jiefang was watching from the side, and the two of them were pushed to the ground and rubbed by Sha Zhu in order to protect their father.

The three aunts on the side stopped talking. At that time, Yu Li came over to support, and then Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi also came over to support them.

"What do you know?"

"Let Silly Zhu squat on the fence. His pettiness will prevent him from chasing you in the future? You can't see Xu Damao like that?"

Yan Fugui pointed at a few people and educated them, "Besides, Silly Zhu is squatting on the fence. We are venting our anger by beating him, but who will pay for the medical expenses? Shouldn't we pay for it ourselves?"

"You still have twenty yuan to get, don't you understand this?"

The third aunt listened and nodded, "You all listen, your dad is right, we were beaten, we can't be beaten in vain, we have to make money."

Yan Jiecheng was furious, "What are you afraid of? The police said today that if you beat someone, you need to compensate for it. You have to pay compensation."

"You know shit. How much did we spend on medical expenses?"

"A total of one dollar and two cents."

Yan Jiefang replied.

"That's it. Compensation means compensation. Then there is reimbursement of medical expenses. The compensation is ten times the compensation. How much is it?"

"Twelve dollars and two cents."

Yan Fugui clapped his hands and said, "Calculate, which one is suitable?"

Yu Li nodded aside, "Of course twenty yuan is appropriate."

"Yes, our daughter-in-law here has a very quick mind. You guys, please learn from your sister-in-law."

With that said, Yan Fugui put on his glasses and went to the house to find paper and pen.

Yan Jiecheng snorted, and then said reluctantly, "Dad, how are we going to divide this money?"

"Yes, Dad, I have to compensate for the beating I got."

"And me, I'm going to call the police and I want money too."

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang said immediately, and even Yan Jiedi opened her eyes wide, thinking about how to make money.

Yan Fugui's writing hand shook, and the last word of the "Letter of Understanding" was missing a little.

Before it got dark, Yan Fugui found Yi Zhonghai with a letter of understanding and returned home with twenty yuan.

Then, Yi Zhonghai took the letter of understanding and went out.

As night fell, there was a lot of discussion in the courtyard. Everyone was more satisfied with what happened in these two days than watching a movie.

At Jia's house, Qin Huairu closed the door tightly before starting to eat.

Qin Huairu chopped a roast duck into two halves, keeping half of it and putting the rest in the pot for stew.

That night, the Jia family finally got some food.

Jia Zhang even drank three bowls of soup, and even Jia Dongxu ate more than usual.

The Jia family finished eating and rested contentedly, but Xu Damao in the backyard was groaning and cursing Silly Zhu for having diarrhea and diarrhea after eating the roast duck.

The night passed and morning came. Silly Zhu walked back to the courtyard from outside the courtyard.

Yesterday, Yi Zhonghai came to the police station with a letter of understanding. After some education, Shazhu paid the fine and was detained for one night and then released.

However, after a night trip to the detention center, Shazhu was obviously much calmer. Although he still looked ruthless, he was not worried about being beaten for no reason.

Of course, except Xu Damao.

…

Yang Xiaotao came to the steel rolling mill as usual, sat in the office, and was busy alone.

As for Lou Xiao'e, after understanding what Yang Xiaotao was doing, she also found two books on steam engines. It seemed that for her, being able to keep up with Yang Xiaotao's rhythm was the greatest pleasure.

Unfortunately, reading is not something everyone can enjoy.

Lou Xiao'e didn't have any basic theoretical background, so she just looked at pictures of steam engines. As for the words "principle", she knew them all, but she didn't know them all.

There was no way, Lou Xiao'e continued to repeat the past days.

In the next few days, she felt that Yang Xiaotao was crazy. Sometimes he would not even eat lunch. She would go and bring food back, and Yang Xiaotao would eat some and continue working.

At this time, Lou Xiao'e finally found a job, that is, working for Yang Xiaotao.

When the water in the tank is low, she will fill it up. During lunch, she would go to pack the meal, even putting money in it, and take the initiative to wash the lunch box after the meal...

It's not that Yang Xiaotao didn't notice it, he also wanted to come by himself, but he forgot about it when he got busy, and gradually got used to it.

On Friday, Yang Xiaotao's steam engine design was finally completed.

Although the steam engine had been invented a long time ago, and domestic steam engines had been studied for a long time, judging from the channels he knew, the research and development of steam engines was not satisfactory.

This can be seen from the development of locomotives. Domestic research and development of steam engines is still insufficient.

Moreover, most of the targets of attention are heavy and large steam engines, and the development of small steam engines has not been paid attention to.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know if it was meaningful to build a small steam engine, but he knew that the well-drilling machine would be enough.

After some modifications, including reference to the design ideas of diesel engines, Yang Xiaotao finally designed a two-cylinder reciprocating small steam engine.

The machine is mainly composed of cylinder, base, piston, crank connecting rod mechanism, slide valve steam distribution mechanism, speed regulating mechanism and flywheel.

This is already the result of streamlining while ensuring sufficient power.

Of course, some of these technologies have high requirements for accessories. Just like the cylinder, which requires extremely high machining accuracy, the smoothness of the cylinder must be ensured.

According to the design, after the water in the boiler is boiled, high-temperature and high-pressure steam is generated, which passes through the air inlet valve and finally enters the cylinder of the steam engine along the pipe.

In this way, the steam drives the piston to move, and the piston drives the connecting rod to move.

The connecting rod drives the flywheel through the crankshaft, and the flywheel begins to rotate highly.

On the other side, when the connecting rod moves, it automatically opens the valve of the cylinder.

The valve controls the time when the steam reaches the cylinder, enters the slide valve chamber through the main steam valve and the throttle valve, and is controlled by the slide valve to alternately enter the right side of the cylinder and push the piston to move.

The steam pushes the piston in the cylinder to do work, and the cooled steam is introduced into the condenser through the pipe to condense back into water.

This process is repeated as the steam engine moves, continuously gaining mechanical power.

The entire steam engine is about one meter long and half a meter high, and the power it generates is expected to be about 15 horsepower.

The specifics still need to be tested.

"finished!"

Yang Xiaotao moved his body, picked up the enamel jar out of habit, and drank a sip of water, feeling that his whole body was smooth.

Then I heard the system prompts and felt even more comfortable.
