Scholars in the courtyard

On the side, Yang Youning had a bitter face.

"Old Liu, please be merciful. I just lost a secretary and a deputy director. If you take away all the pioneer generals, how will I be able to run the steel rolling mill? How will I be the director?"

"Going back to making parts before? Isn't this a joke!"

"Old Liu, please do your best and leave a way for me to survive, okay?"

Yang Youning acted pitifully. To be honest, even though Liu Huaimin had been promoted, the superiors might not send a secretary down. After all, not everyone can be a secretary, and not everyone can come to the steel rolling mill.

Therefore, it is certain that the powerful will be in sole control for some time to come.

Because of this, if there is any political achievement next, he will be the first to benefit.

How could it be possible to send Yang Xiaotao out?

To be honest, he was not willing to send Yang Xiaotao away even if he wanted to send Xu Yuanshan away.

It won’t work if you add Chen Gong.

"Don't do this to me."

Liu Huaimin was unmoved, and it was after careful consideration that he transferred Yang Xiaotao to take office with him.

First of all, Yang Xiaotao knows the basics and doesn't have to worry about anything.

Secondly, Yang Xiaotao's work ability is obvious to all, especially as an engineer. He is a senior talent. If he goes to a higher level, he will have greater room for development.

Finally, he also needs Yang Xiaotao to support his performance.

If you want your butt to be stable, you must show political achievements!

That's why I brought it up, but I didn't expect Yang Youning's reaction to be so strong.

"Let me tell you, this Yang Xiaotao is an engineer, and you have seen his ability. Even if he is in a steel rolling mill, it is not good, but the space is definitely limited, and he will rise."

"Old Liu, what you said is wrong."

Chen Gong suddenly spoke from the side, leaving Liu Huaimin unable to react.

"Twenty-four-year-old director, don't tell me we don't value this salary and remuneration? In the steel rolling mill, I can guarantee that no one dares to wear small shoes for Yang Xiaotao."

"As for rising, you said it, young man. You have to settle down at a young age. Our steel rolling mill is a stable place, and it is most suitable to stay here."

"When he settles down, he will definitely skyrocket."

Chen Gong patted his chest and thought to himself, without Xu Yuanshan, it would be better for him and Yang Youning to have half the benefits than a quarter.

At this moment, Yang Youning and Chen Gong reached a tacit agreement and made up their minds to protect the achievements of the steel rolling mill and never let Yang Xiaotao out.

Xu Yuanshan watched these people arguing here, sitting aside and watching their noses, mouths and hearts without saying a word.

Of course, he had not never thought of transferring Yang Xiaotao to the chemical plant, but this idea was just a thought.

If an engineer in the steel industry dared to mention that he should work in the chemical industry, the three people in the room would dare to attack him.

Seeing the persistence of Yang Youning and Chen Gong, Liu Huaimin could only let go of his psychological thoughts.

They are all old brothers who get along well and have worked together for many years, so the relationship cannot be stalemate.

What's more, he was able to go up this time because of the efforts of the steel rolling mill. From now on, if the steel rolling mill does well, he, the former secretary, will be proud of his face.

"Okay, this kid stays."

"Hey, that's right. We are on the same front, and Lao Liu, you are indispensable for this meal."

"That's right, Lao Xu first, then you, we can have two meals."

Chen Gong Yang Youning said, Liu Huaimin and Xu Yuanshan smiled helplessly, this meal cannot be avoided.

There was more laughter in the room, which was a good thing after all because of Gao Sheng, and the atmosphere when talking became less tense.

"By the way, the boy has come to work."

Yang Youning lit up the cigarette, and Xu Yuanshan and the two of them also puffed away. After a while, all that was left of the cigarette Liu Huaimin took out was the cigarette case. If he didn't smoke now, he would have no chance in the future.

"coming."

Chen Gong said, "This boy, if you catch this time, he will take it as a holiday. He is enjoying himself at home. I am so fucking envious."

Xu Yuanshan smiled and said, "If you are envious, then hurry up and find an enemy agent."

"Screw you. If I knew who the enemy agent was, I would have taken my gun and killed him."

Chen Gong smiled, "However, there were a lot of people here this time."

A few people nodded, because this operation involved so much, even they were shocked when they heard about it.

There was no mercy in killing so many people.

If the higher-ups hadn't spoken out, someone would probably have been implicated.

"By the way, what is this kid doing?"

"I heard the people eating below came back and said they were cooking pots."

"Pot? His pot is broken?"

"Who knows."

As the two of them talked, Yang Youning looked startled, "Old Liu, what are you going to do with our tractor?"

Talking about business, Xu Yuanshan also looked over.

Although I have to leave the steel rolling mill, this emotion is hard to let go.

The tractor project also has his contribution and cannot be abandoned midway.

"Don't worry about that."

Liu Huaimin first gave a word of affirmation. In the past, he could only help others when he was not in his position. But this time, the big leader went a step further and spoke louder. With the support of him and Mr. Xia, he, Liu Huaimin, took office. It has to be burned.

"Didn't we propose a tractor exchange before? I think it is necessary to hold it."

After Liu Huaimin finished speaking, Yang Youning started laughing, and so did Chen Gong.

After get off work, Yang Xiaotao left as usual.

As for the pressure cooker, it is in the back seat of the car at the moment.

As an eighth-level fitter, it is easy to build such a small thing.

Now I can put the rubber ring on it when I get home and it can be used.

Of course, for safety's sake, you still have to test it yourself.

I was thinking about going to the vegetable market to buy some ribs and experiment.

Returning to the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao walked to the middle courtyard and the first thing he saw was Sha Zhu's house with a seal attached. As for Sha Zhu, he was drinking and dining at Yi Zhonghai's house.

Maybe it was the last supper. In the past few days, Yi Zhonghai's family had been cooking up a small stove, eating whatever was available, chicken, duck, fish and meat. Even Jia and Zhang had some of it, and they had gained weight again.

Yi Zhonghai's house was busy, and Yang Xiaotao walked home.

Ran Qiuye was washing vegetables in the yard. Seeing Yang Xiaotao come back, he looked at the pot in his hand and asked curiously, "Is this what you said, a pressure cooker?"

She had seen it with her own eyes when Yang Xiaotao was designing the drawings.

As for the efficacy of the pressure cooker, although I am a liberal arts student and don't know much about physics, I still know what atmospheric pressure is when I follow my father.

At least she had heard about the Magdeburg Hemisphere Experiment from her father, and she was still surprised and asked about it at the time.

"Yes, I made it today, just in time to try out the effect."

As Yang Xiaotao said, he started to pack the ribs, while Ran Qiuye put water in the pressure cooker and boiled it to remove the smell.

At night, Zhou Kui and Liu Yuhua came over and gathered around the stove. They heard that Yang Xiaotao had made a new pot and that it was different from other pots, so they came to take a look.

Yang Xiaotao briefly explained how to use the pot, especially explaining to Ran Qiuye that if used improperly, the power of a grenade explosion is not much different.

Hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, Ran Qiuye and Liu Yuhua were both startled. Looking at the pressure cooker the size of a basin, they felt a little hairy.

Regardless of what the two of them wanted, Yang Xiaotao put the pressure cooker on the stove. Soon, white smoke came out of the exhaust valve. After a while, he watched the pressure cooker release gas.

After another two minutes, there was a snapping sound, and the hot air that was coming out suddenly stopped, and then there was no movement again.

Yang Xiaotao found that the outlet of the exhaust valve was blocked and only a small amount of light smoke was coming out. He quickly removed the pressure cooker and placed it on the cement floor aside.

Zhou Kui looked around, a little confused. In such a short time, could these ribs be cooked?

In the past, cooking pork ribs at home took most of the day, and there were too many bones and no meat, making it difficult to eat.

After five minutes, Yang Xiaotao saw that there was no more white smoke, so he picked it up and put it on the stove. Within three minutes, white smoke came out again.

After going back and forth like this three times, Yang Xiaotao estimated that it would last at least twenty minutes.

Then I took the pressure cooker into the house.

In front of everyone's eyes, Yang Xiaotao pressed the exhaust valve, hot air came out from the exhaust hole, and the room was instantly filled with the smell of meat.

"It really sucks!"

Watching Yang Xiaotao separate the meat from the bones with a chopstick, Liu Yuhua exclaimed and Ran Qiuye also widened his eyes.

How long ago did it take for it to be so useful?

Soon, the food was served and the house became lively.

At Yi Zhonghai's house, Silly Zhu and Yi Zhonghai got drunk again.

The difference is that this time Qin Huairu did not go to Shazhu's place, and made Shazhu wait for half the night before falling asleep.

In the backyard, after Xu Damao took a shower, he lay on the moldy bed, his eyes rolling, unable to fall asleep.

At this moment, he missed women.

…

The next day, Yang Xiao got up and went to Ran's house in the morning.

Ran Qiuye is about to give birth and he cannot take care of her alone. Ran's mother will move in to take care of her at this time.

Fortunately, there are a lot of rooms at home, so Ran's mother and the two little ones can stay here.

Ran Xinrui and Ran Hongbing were very happy to move to their brother-in-law's house. Not only was their brother-in-law's house spacious, but there were also many delicious and fun places.

More importantly, they can be with their eldest sister, just like when they were children, following her side and clinging to her.

Of course, they were also ignorantly curious about the birth of a nephew, not knowing what a child would be like.

After talking to the uncle of the compound, Yang Xiaotao and Ran's mother came to the courtyard.

In the yard, Wang Dashan's family was helping and talking to Ran's mother.

Generally speaking, many people in the courtyard welcomed Ran's mother to live at home.

Even Yan Fugui, who was not favored by Yang Xiaotao, showed kindness to Ran's mother and said a few pleasant words.

Of course, there are a few people like Jia Zhang who are unhappy. Yang Xiaotao told Ran's mother and just ignored them.

Even the three children of the Jia family should not be treated as children.

Ran's mother is someone who has lived through this. During those years, she had to endure hardships in the courtyard because of her gender. Her understanding of human nature is no less than that of Yang Xiaotao.

At noon, Yang Xiaotao was preparing lunch to welcome Ran's mother and her family.

The remaining ribs were cooking in the pressure cooker, and Zhou Kui watched from the side.

In the house, Ran Qiuye, Liu Yuhua and Ran's mother were talking, while the two little ones were playing with Wang Xiaohu and others outside the yard.

The thing to play with is the glass ball.

As soon as this thing was taken out, Ran Hongbing became the most handsome boy in the courtyard, even Wang Xiaohu was outclassed.

As for Banggeng, he also wanted to play, but Wang Xiaohu and others rushed him aside, leaving Qin Huairu watching from a distance, feeling uncomfortable.

Mrs. Jia Zhang even scolded her, "Why doesn't anyone play with such a good kid?"

This will cause psychological problems in the future, and she can't spare these bastards.

Just when Yang Xiaotao had prepared the food and put it into the pot, a person walked in from outside and came directly to Yang Xiaotao.

"Secretary Li, why are you here?"

Yang Xiaotao saw that it was Yang Youning's secretary and hurriedly came out to welcome him in.

"Director Yang!"

Secretary Li said politely, and then nodded to Ran Qiuye and others, "This time, Director Yang asked me to take you to the dinner."

"Have a meal?"

"Yes, please hurry up."

"oh!"

Seeing the seriousness of Secretary Li's words, Yang Xiaotao stopped asking any more questions and spoke to Ran Qiuye. Ran's mother urged her to work urgently, so Yang Xiaotao followed Secretary Li out of the yard.

Get in a jeep and drive away.
