Scholars in the courtyard

In the yard, Xu Damao sighed, "We all use tap water, and everyone uses it together. Your family is the only one who digs a well? Why don't you go to heaven?"

"Being separated from the masses and doing something special will not yield good results. Sooner or later you will be punished."

Bangs on the side nodded, Xu Damao was right.

A guy as ostentatious as Yang Xiaotao will suffer a loss sooner or later.

Don't think that you can be arrogant just because you have some support, huh.

When I turned around and returned to the backyard, I felt uncomfortable when I saw the scene in the yard.

Sitting with the factory director and secretary, talking about the future, this is Liu Haizhong's forte.

He should be allowed to come on this occasion.

Silly Zhu was lying on the bed to rest. When he heard the cheers in the courtyard, he covered his head with a pillow and didn't want to hear it.

"Damn you bastard, stop being a human being!"

"How about the factory leaders? What kind of virtue do they have? Bah!"

The curses continued, and at this moment, Silly Zhu was possessed by Jia Zhang.

Yi Zhonghai got up from the dinner table and went home to rest.

The aunt looked at a group of people busy in Yang Xiaotao's yard and asked in confusion.

"Lao Yi, Yang Xiaotao built the well by himself, why didn't he go with the compound?"

In the past, when there was no running water, wells were a place to bring people closer together. We all drank the same water, did laundry and cooking, and maintained a harmonious relationship with neighbors.

This is also the reason why the courtyard has running water, but not every household.

Everyone still uses the same sink and is still in the same courtyard.

But now, Yang Xiaotao has built a well on his own, which means he doesn't have the same water as the people in the courtyard.

Even though Yang Xiaotao had shown that he would not interfere with the affairs of the hospital before, he was not as intuitive as he was this time.

What Yi Zhonghai is even more worried about is that the courtyard will be completely divided into two factions because of this incident.

A group of people must use well water.

"I don't know, I just love it."

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to deal with these troublesome things. Now he just wanted to deal with Jia Dongxu's funeral affairs quickly so as not to cause any trouble.

Half an hour later, when the well was drilled to more than five meters, turbid water was already visible, so Yang Xiaotao stopped adding coal to the steam engine.

Have someone put the cement pipe up and lower it slowly.

The cement pipes made by the cement factory are all one meter long. In recent years, there have been no steel bars, so they cannot be made too long.

But it is most suitable for making a well.

After a while, Zhou Kui used a rope to lower the first piece of cement pipe to the bottom, and then lowered it down piece by piece.

Finally, 30 centimeters of cement pipes were exposed on the ground. Yang Xiaotao was going to ask Zhou Peng to buy a pressurized water well and install it on it.

In this way, water is convenient and the well mouth can be sealed, so that the children in the courtyard do not know the depth and safety, just in case.

When Yang Xiaotao finished cooking, he saw people in the courtyard pointing around, all of them very curious.

Li Zhixing even wiped his bald head and smiled.

After the cement pipe was put down and the surrounding fill soil was fixed, the groundwater was now clear.

Although the diameter of thirty centimeters is not large, the water is deep enough for use.

After a while, the yard was repaired and everyone disassembled the steam engine and placed it in the house. Other parts were also dismantled.

Yang Xiaotao also wanted Zhou Kui to go to dinner, but Zhou Kui shook his head, obviously not suitable for this kind of dinner.

When I got home, I took the cake and went out to take care of the mule.

Yang Xiaotao didn't force it, returned to the room and served the food on the table.

Liu Huaimin, Yang Youning and others sat down.

"I didn't expect that this kid has such a skill!"

"It's just home-cooked food, as long as the leaders like it!"

Yang Xiaotao was polite, and Xu Yuanshan looked at the green leeks growing in the yard. They are growing one after another. As long as they are not frozen to death in winter, they will bloom as soon as the weather warms up.

Looking at the yard, you can understand why Yang Xiaotao wants to dig a well in the yard. If he grows vegetables and fruits in the future, he will need a lot of water.

While several people were talking, Yang Xiaotao put the food on the table.

Looking at the food on the table, the ingredients were nothing special, cabbage, radish and potatoes, the special thing was tofu, and eggs fried with leeks freshly cut from the yard. Yang Xiaotao made it this way and it tasted surprisingly good.

Several of them are also people who pay attention to food, so they still have some discernment.

Just like the potato shreds, you can tell at a glance that the knife skills cannot be made even after three years of cooking.

Moreover, the shredded potatoes made here taste crisp, delicious and fragrant.

There is also the braised carp, which is so fragrant, and the soup is perfect for dipping the steamed buns into the meal.

Not to mention the scrambled eggs with leeks, which are emerald green with a hint of burnt brown, and are deliciously beautiful.

Several people had been watching in the workshop all morning, and they didn't eat lunch. It was almost three o'clock, and they finally had lunch.

Yang Youning lost his pretense as a factory manager and took the Erhe Noodles Steamed Bun, scooped half of the shredded potatoes into a bowl, and took two bites first.

No one was drinking, and Liu Huaimin was waiting to go back and write a report.

Among the few, Xu Yuanshan is the best drinker.

However, several others had heard about Yang Xiaotao's stay in Quancheng. He was the one who drank Wang Dahai down, so he had better not be embarrassed here.

They are all old men, and they don’t pay much attention to their meals. Everyone has something to do, and they are pressed for time, so they eat quickly.

The food on the table was all eaten in a short time.

Afterwards, Xu Yuanshan had to go to the machine repair shop to say thank you to Ding Xiangjun.

The favor must be returned.

Li Zhixing was in high spirits, especially when Yang Xiaotao said that the farm needed a lot of cement pipes and hoped that the cement factory could produce more.

Regarding the specific quantity and funding issues, we will contact the Academy of Agricultural Sciences after they respond.

Li Zhixing said it was no problem and even gave the cement pipes he brought this time to Yang Xiaotao for free.

Of course Yang Xiaotao would not make such a mistake, a few cement pipes, not much money.

The busiest person is Sun Guo. He needs to go back to the factory to find someone to continue producing well drilling machines, especially drill bits, and he needs to prepare more.

The steam engine is a bit difficult to put away first, other parts cannot wait.

The group of people ate in a hurry and quickly finished all the food on the table.

Chen Gong also wants to go back and urge Workshop 8 to build more pressurized water wells, which are matched with water wells. It is conceivable that many will be needed in the future.

After several people finished eating, Yang Xiaotao explained the situation to Li Zhixing and would discuss it with the comrades from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Then he would leave the cement pipeline to Li Zhixing.

Li Zhixing patted his chest and promised that as long as there is a letter, the goods will be delivered to your door.

After sending a few people away, Yang Xiaotao was going to take the well drilling machine and the remaining cement pipes back to Yangjiazhuang at dawn, and take advantage of tomorrow's rest to drill more wells.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Huaimin and others left the courtyard, got in the car and headed to the steel rolling mill.

Yang Xiaotao called Zhou Kui to explain the situation. The two of them loaded the things into the car. Wang Dashan forced Wang Jun over, and Yang Xiaotao didn't say much.

The two drove the car, and Yang Xiaotao rode his bicycle to Yangjiazhuang.

When it got dark, the three people who were on their way finally arrived at Yangjiazhuang.

Along the way, the three of them met many patrol teams from various villages. After seeing Yang Xiaotao, these people quickly let them go.

There were also some whom I didn’t know, and they must have been specially arranged to protect the farm. Although they knew each other, it was just a matter of business. After bringing the three people to the station, they were contacted by phone before they were released.

Yang Xiaotao knew that he would have to apply for a permit to enter and exit in the future, otherwise it would be too troublesome.

Back at Yangjiazhuang, Yang Dazhuang and his people were waiting at the door.

Turning on the flashlight, Zhou Kui led the mule into the brigade headquarters. Although everyone was curious about what was in the car, they were even more delighted with the strong mule.

The livestock in Yangjiazhuang now include two cows, one big and one small, and a donkey.

With this configuration, it is definitely the first of its kind in the surrounding areas.

Now, with another mule, it has naturally become the treasure of the whole village.

In this day and age, whether it’s a donkey or a mule, there are so many things that can be done.

Pulling carts, pulling mills, plowing fields, and hunting fields.

One more mule means one more helper, and the village's labor force increases by 10%.

"Xiao Tao, is this given to us by the steel rolling mill?"

Yang Dazhuang was still a little unbelievable.

You know, when it became a farm, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences wanted to increase the number of cattle and horses and strengthen its farming capabilities.

But after requesting it, the superior did not agree.

The reason is very simple. There is a shortage of food everywhere now, and the start-up of the farm has taken good care of it. If we continue to push the envelope, there will be opinions from above.

At least I won't talk about it again until I get my results.

But now, the steel rolling mill actually 'supported' a mule. Yang Dazhuang and others could not hold back. They just wanted to confirm again and again, for fear that Yang Xiaotao would say no.

"I've said it several times, this mule is raised in our village. But if there is a mission, we must first arrange it."

"Of course, you can also think that it is given to our village."

Yang Dazhuang grinned, not to mention anything else, this mule alone was worth it.

Isn't it just raising a mule? Their village can afford it.

Seeing Yang Dazhuang, Yang Shitou and others all surrounding the mule, they talked about how tall the mule was, looked at the hooves, and said that the horse nails had just been hammered in and did not need to be repaired. Some people even touched the mule and almost kissed it.

Yang Xiaotao walked forward angrily, "Help move the things out of the car, be careful."

Only then did a few people move their things into the brigade headquarters under Yang Xiaotao's arrangement.

After ordering people to look at the things, Yang Dazhuang arranged a place for King Zhou Kui's army to stay. Yang Xiaotao ignored those people who were staring at the mule and turned around and walked back home.

What kind of mule are you looking at? Didn’t you see what’s behind it?

I have no knowledge.

Before I got home, I heard Wangcai's cry.

Xiaowei got out of the sleeves and immediately flew to Wangcai's body, enjoying the soft mattress.

After opening the door and returning home, Ran Qiuye and Mr. Yang were both surprised at why they came back so late.

Yang Xiaotao briefly explained the matter, and then Mr. Yang ran out wearing a cotton-padded jacket. After a while, a burst of laughter came from next door.

Another mule watcher.

There were only two people left at home. Ran Qiuye looked at Yang Xiaotao like this, as if he expected what was going to happen, and his face turned red.

Then I felt myself being held in Yang Xiaotao's arms, "Do you miss me?"

Ran Qiuye nodded.

"Has this little guy thought about it?"

Yang Xiaotao put his hand on Ran Qiuye's abdomen and could feel the swell of life through his clothes.

It will be released in four months. At this moment, Yang Xiaotao couldn't wait, wondering whether it was a son or a daughter.

"I don't know, you have to wait until he (she) comes out and ask!"

Ran Qiuye said playfully, and Yang Xiaotao gave her a long kiss.

After a while, Mr. Yang returned home with an excited face, caught Yang Xiaotao and asked him again.

Yang Xiaotao could only say it again, and only then did Mr. Yang pay attention to the key points.

Well drilling machine.

From the name, you can tell that he is a well digger.

So, Yang Xiaotao was caught by Mr. Yang and asked about digging a well. After learning that Yang Xiaotao had made a new thing and spent more than an hour in the yard to dig a well, Mr. Yang was so open-mouthed.

Soon, Mr. Yang ran out again. He had to see the well drilling machine with his own eyes, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep.
