Scholars in the courtyard

Siheyuan, Jia's house.

Qin Huairu sat on a stool and leaned against the wall. The child in her arms had fallen asleep, but she was not sleepy at all.

When I came to the workshop today, I thought that the team leader, Han Liyan, was gone and no one would supervise her work, so she could work hard and relax.

But who knows, the team leader left, but the tasks did not decrease, but became more than usual.

In order to complete the task, everyone in the same group was busy with their own tasks, and no one helped her.

We can only sit next to each other at the workstation.

Qin Huairu had only been working for a few days, and her skills at hand were not as sharp as her words. She could only work hard in order to complete the task.

Morning to noon, noon to get off work.

I have been busy all day, and there are not many workpieces on hand. Not to mention that the task is completed, but not even half of it.

The people in the same group were nagging and saying unpleasant things.

What can she do?

She was not good at learning, but now that her master is gone and there is no one to help her, how can she complete the task?

When the workshop director Guo Dapizi found out, he went directly to the workshop and started to get angry, saying that he could do whatever he wanted to do and get out if he didn't want to do it.

If an apprentice doesn't work honestly, what else do you want to do?

In front of everyone in the workshop, Qin Huairu blushed and felt completely humiliated.

On the way home, my legs could no longer bend. When I finally got home, I put the cornbread into the pot and I didn’t want to move.

During dinner, Mrs. Jia Zhang's picky face, her insistent demands for meat, and Xiao Dang's cold eyes made her feel as if she was being pressed down by a stone, making her feel uncomfortable.

I'm so tired that I don't want to do anything.

I just want to lie down at home, even if I have endless laundry every day like before, it’s still better than going to work.

"Team leader, Li Man is recruiting!"

Xiaobo walked out of the interrogation room with a document in his hand.

Team Leader Yu looked tired, but after hearing the news, he was excited and suddenly became energetic.

These days, the work is in a quagmire.

The comrade in charge of the platoon visited the entire street office and brigade headquarters around Sijiu City, but could not find the person described by Aunt Zhou.

Team leader Yu guessed that this woman must be disguised, and even her gender may not be real.

As a result, the investigation of the incident returned to the starting point again, and the investigation must be launched from Li Man.

According to the information provided by Quancheng, Ding Junhong and his group who were captured earlier stated that their liaison officer was this Li Man.

As an important link between the action team and the intelligence team, Li Man will definitely have more information.

Pry open her mouth and you'll find clues.

"Team leader, Li Man's real name is Li Xiaoxiao. His father Li Zhongcai studied in Japan and worked for the Wang Puppet regime during the Anti-Japanese War. Later he joined the military and became a lurking member!"

"Li Xiaoxiao was trained by his father for many years. Later, during the liberation period, his family was attacked and his father was killed by rebel soldiers while fleeing."

"Later, Li Xiaoxiao changed his name to Li Man and lurked..."

Xiaobo said what Li Man told him, and Team Leader Yu nodded. This little girl is not very old, but she can endure it till now. She would not be able to do this without professional training.

"Who is her contact person?"

"It's a moth!"

"It is indeed her. Where is she?"

Team leader Yu was a little excited, but Xiaobo shook his head.

"They communicated through dead mailboxes, and the two parties have never met."

Team leader Yu was a little disappointed.

But then, Xiaobo brought another good news.

"However, it might be useful for Li Man to give you a piece of information."

"What is it?"

"Although she has never seen Moth, she once heard his father say that Moth married an ordinary carpenter and lost his figure!"

Team Leader Yu frowned after hearing this.

"Is she married to a carpenter? It means she is a woman. This range can be narrowed down."

"Do you know what year you got married?"

"Before the liberation of Forty-nine Cities!"

"That is to say, it has been at least thirteen years since he faced the middle-aged woman we know!"

"As long as the direction is correct."

"Organize manpower immediately to investigate the entire Sijiu City. People who were carpenters before liberation."

Xiaobo looked at the night outside and wanted to give a warning, but saw bloodshot eyes in the team leader's eyes, and finally swallowed the words in his stomach.

He ran out immediately, and not long after, the three-wheelers disappeared at the door, and they quickly rushed to various street offices, and the brigade headquarters...

…

The next day, Yang Xiaotao got up and went to the steel rolling mill with the people in the yard.

Following Yang Xiaotao, the newcomers looked proud.

There is no inheritance from the parents, no strong skills, and it is not the college students who are in charge of the distribution.

Being able to enter a steel rolling mill was something I had never dreamed of before.

But now, the opportunity is around you. As long as you seize it, work hard, and work hard, you can change your destiny.

As long as you become a worker in a steel rolling mill, you will have a wife and children. In the future, your children's employment will also be solved.

From father to son, son to son.

This is what they really think.

Because of this, they are even more grateful to Yang Xiaotao.

After everyone left the courtyard, Shazhu and Yi Zhonghai were waiting for Qin Huairu.

"Master, this grandson is nothing. Such a good thing, I don't think about the people in our courtyard. Just give it to those few, who are you?"

Silly Zhu had a good idea. When he went to bed last night, he dreamed of being a man again.

Unfortunately, it was not Qin Huairu who I dreamed about last night.

"First Master, I heard that the Second Master in the backyard has been very agitated these past two days. When I went to see the old lady, I whipped Liu Guangfu at home. I really took it out on my son, and it was only natural."

Silly Zhu said, gloating about his misfortune. He also knew why Liu Haizhong was so angry. It was not because Yang Xiaotao made trouble.

"Okay, just say a few words."

Yi Zhonghai spoke in time to tell Si Zhu to stop talking.

He felt upset when he heard it.

I am a dignified eighth-level fitter, but I didn't choose him to go to the tractor workshop. I was looking down on him.

However, it’s really better not to go.

Is it possible to follow Yang Xiaotao's command?

Fortunately I didn't go.

After a while, Qin Huairu came out of the house and smiled at Silly Zhu.

"Master, Zhuzhu, let's go!"

The three of them nodded and walked out of the Chuihua Gate.

When passing by the front yard, I happened to see Yu Li going out and shouting into the house.

"Go by yourself if you have the ability. If you stay at home complaining about others all day long, you can't be a man!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

There was silence in the room.

Silly Zhu chuckled, "Look, another one is angry. Ha~"

Qin Huairu remained silent and continued walking with Yi Zhonghai.

Last night, she already had a plan.

Although she would be criticized behind her back, she didn't care.

What does a little widow care about?

As long as you can provide meat for your family and make your life easier.

Besides, it’s not like there aren’t people like this in the workshop.

She had already found out about Guo Dapizi in the past few days.

Dealing with this kind of person is no more difficult than Silly Zhu.

The three of them had their own concerns. When they came to the gate, they saw a crowd of people gathered outside the steel rolling mill.

Silly Zhu was curious and went over to inquire. It turned out that they were all newcomers to the steel rolling mill.

Seeing so many people, I felt even more disdain for Yang Xiaotao.

After a few people left, Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao also walked to the door.

"Tsk, these people are all new recruits. This is giving gifts through the back door. How much do you get?"

Xu Damao clicked his tongue, his eyes full of envy in his bangs.

How great would it be if so many people were under his leadership?

Just as the two were about to enter the gate, five more people walked behind them, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"These too?"

Some people raised questions because the people who came had either broken their entire arms or broken wrists, and they were missing fingers, so they didn't look like they could work.

Just after everyone was surprised, a man came out of the security room and welcomed these people in.

Suddenly, the people around him started talking even louder.

Xu Damao curled his lips, "This cripple wants to die, he must have gone through the back door."

Looking at Liu Haizhong who was dazed on the side, Xu Damao leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "Second uncle, such a disabled person can be a worker. You can see how many gifts he will give you later!"

"The leadership of this steel rolling mill is too shady. If you ask me, report it directly to your superiors, and it will be a great achievement!"

Xu Damao's words were like a magic spell, and Liu Haizhong immediately thought that after making great achievements, he would be praised by the leader, promoted, and become the leader of the steel rolling mill, thus embarking on an official career...

In an instant, the center of the bangs moved.

However, Liu Haizhong soon realized that it would be fine if the report to the factory leader was successful, but if not, it would be a frame-up.

This steel rolling mill has nothing else to do.

Looking at Xu Damao's little face, "Why don't you go to such a good thing?"

Xu Damao twisted his face and smiled, "Isn't my level not high enough? You are a seventh-level worker and a famous master. Your appearance will be more convincing!"

Liu Haizhong was noncommittal, and walked to the workshop with a hum.

In Workshop 11, Yang Xiaotao looked at the arranged equipment and began to arrange production.

There was no opening ceremony, no leaders coming to give speeches, or drawing cakes for everyone. Everything was just like going to work.

Everyone got busy according to the plan.

The people led by Liu Daming have already started work. They are responsible for manufacturing the steam engine. Each person builds a part specially, and then assembles it. It will be used after it is inspected by Liu Yizu and several people and it passes the test.

Wang Fa, Liu Guogang and others also started to get started. The people in the R\u0026D team sent the verified drawings to everyone. With the drawings, everyone had a direction for their work.

Moreover, these parts were not very difficult. Although they worked on them later than the steam engine people, there were more people and more power, and everyone was busy with their own tasks, so the progress was very fast.

Yang Xiaotao took the opportunity to arrange the newly recruited people among them, and each of them had one or two new people under his command.

Yang Xiaotao doesn't need them to teach him step by step to be as good as them. Now he just needs to follow him and become familiar with the process.

Only after they become familiar with it will they try to make it themselves, and these people only need to be able to make one type of component.

Just like Han Liyan brought the only girl here this time.

This girl's name is Gao Yu. She was brought by Secretary Liu and handed over to Yang Xiaotao personally.

Yang Xiaotao didn't ask, but judging from the clothes he was wearing, he didn't think he was an ordinary person.

Considering the girl, Yang Xiaotao handed her over to Han Liyan.

Because of her meticulous work, Han Liyan is responsible for making tractor brake pads.

In total, this part is not even at the intermediate level, but it needs to be done by someone who is careful and cannot be careless.

The girl is not the kind who is good at talking, maybe it has something to do with the environment, but her attitude towards learning is very sincere.

After half a day of contact, the girl can endure hardship without complaining about being tired.

If Han Liyan doesn't let her stop, the girl can keep doing it.

This is in line with Han Liyan's temperament, which is much stronger than that of Qin Huairu whom she had taken care of before.

After the parts are built, Chen Bin is responsible for the inspection here, and the people from the R\u0026D team temporarily serve as quality inspectors.

Finally, there is the installation team, led by Yang Xiaotao himself.

In this group, except Zhou Kui, who is a newcomer, everyone else is a workshop worker.

Without some basic knowledge, it is difficult to get started.

Even Zhou Kui has made great progress along the way by tinkering with heating stoves, pressurized water wells and steam well drilling machines.

In Yang Xiaotao's view, Zhou Kui is the kind of person who is clumsy in speech and skillful in hands. Although he has not undergone formal study, he has great ideas about these instruments and machinery and learns quickly.

At this time, the finished parts had already been delivered, and Yang Xiaotao led the installation team to start the formal installation.

Similarly, the people in the installation team also have a clear division of labor.

Some are equipped with a front end, some are equipped with a body, some are equipped with a clutch, and some are equipped with a transmission.

Everyone has their own position, and doing well in their position is what Yang Xiaotao requires of them.

A tractor can be installed in just one day.

But in order to let these people remember and see clearly, Yang Xiaotao will explain every step repeatedly, giving them time to remember and solve any problems.

Only in this way can you learn something.
