Scholars in the courtyard

Siheyuan, front yard.

The third aunt was cleaning up the house at home. When she got home, she tidied up, got some food to send Yan Fugui and the others away, and sent Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi away, then carefully checked the belongings.

Of course, it's not because last night was noisy, but if I don't look at it twice every day, I feel unsure.

Similarly, my wife also has this problem.

When she walked to the place where the money was hidden, the third aunt touched her hands and looked back at the window, for fear that someone would be watching.

Um?

The third aunt suddenly froze because the familiar feeling she expected did not appear.

Then the third aunt hurriedly touched it twice, and finally opened the box directly, took out the quilt on top, and searched again and again, but there was still nothing.

The third aunt is in despair.

Then I started rummaging around the house again, looking for all the places where I could hide money and where I had hidden money before.

But in the end, it was still not found.

snap

The third aunt sat on the ground dejectedly, her face pale.

This is their entire family's wealth.

"No. No more. How could it be gone?"

The third aunt's mind was in chaos.

…

In the steel rolling mill, Yang Xiaotao was busy in the workshop, counting the quantities and guiding the work.

The weather is getting hot very quickly, with temperatures reaching 30 degrees Celsius at noon in Sijiu City, and the workshop is even more stuffy.

At this time, even the wind blown by the fan is hot, which can only relieve the stuffy heat.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao missed the central air-conditioning of future generations very much.

Unfortunately, doing this now is a bit expensive.

And the people in the workshop are very satisfied with the current working environment. At least there is a fan compared to last year, right?

Sweating profusely, Yang Xiaotao walked up and down in the workshop.

Wang Fa and others also asked about what happened yesterday, but Yang Xiaotao only said briefly and did not go into details.

The topic was quickly brought to last night's alarm, and everyone was talking and gossiping about various news.

"I heard it came from the east! It flew overhead for a while!"

"That's right! You didn't see the explosion above your head. I heard that many iron shells fell down and destroyed many houses."

"Fortunately the house is empty, otherwise it would be tragic."

A group of people were gossiping, and Yang Xiaotao was not in the mood to inquire about the news.

Now, if the country falls behind in strength, it will suffer the consequences of being dumb.

While Yang Xiaotao was counting data, Lou Xiao'e ran in from outside, sweating profusely, and stood in front of Yang Xiaotao, panting.

Yang Xiaotao looked at Lou Xiao'e, the clothes on her chest were wet with sweat, and the fullness of the package was vaguely visible.

I don’t know, I’m this old before I have a child. If I have a child...

Yang Xiaotao didn't think about it anymore and quickly looked away.

"What's wrong? Are you running so fast?"

Lou Xiao'e rubbed her hair and felt something was wrong on her chest, but she was not in the mood to care.

The person who has been here is not a little girl who has been through nothing, so don’t worry about this little detail.

"Section Chief, Dean Deng is here, and there are several others."

"The factory director wants you to go to the office quickly."

"Going right now."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao thought about the thesis and was surprised. Didn't he say that he would be given a day's grace?

Why are you still chasing the steel rolling mill?

It couldn't be anything else.

Thinking of this, he put down his tools and quickly walked to the factory director's office.

In the office, the windows and doors were open, but it was still hot.

Yang Youning sat aside and looked at Dean Deng very cordially.

Although the two of them did not want to give up the same system, their positions were several levels higher than his, so how could they dare to sit in their original positions?

"Dean Deng, you are a rare visitor."

Yang Youning handed the cool white bottle sent by his secretary to Dean Deng, and looked at Gao Yufeng again. The last time this guy came, it was for Yang Xiaotao, and this time he did it again.

It's not like robbing people.

"It's true that I haven't been to this steel rolling mill for several years. The last time I came, it was the opening ceremony. I remember that it was Lao Li who came at that time?"

Lao Li is Director Yang’s predecessor, and he took over after his retirement.

"Yes, Master Li was ill, so he took a back seat!"

"Oh, so many years have passed. Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each generation is getting better and better!"

Dean Deng sighed with emotion, and the faces of those who came with him turned red.

They are all elites of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, but they never expected to come here to study with a ninth-level engineer.

But they couldn't refuse, because the other party's genetic theory was enough to be their teacher.

The two were talking, and Yang Xiaotao walked in from outside.

"Dean Deng, director, factory director!"

Saying hello, Yang Xiaotao stood aside.

Gao Yufeng glanced at Dean Deng and was about to speak.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside again, and then a chubby old man was seen walking in.

"Mr. Tao!"

Gao Yufeng was facing the door and shouted immediately.

Dean Deng Yang Youning quickly stood up.

"Everyone is here, just in time!"

Mr. Tao wiped the sweat from his head, walked to the front, picked up Dean Deng's water glass, and drank a lot of it.

Everyone looked at each other, why did this big boss come to the steel rolling mill?

Yang Youning felt uneasy.

If the big boss opens his mouth and says that he has a small body and cannot withstand the tossing, should he submit to compromise or submit to compromise?

Looking at Yang Xiaotao who was also shocked, I just hoped that this guy could stick to himself.

Chen Gong and Zhao Chuanjun who followed behind also looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

"You guys go out first."

Mr. Tao waved to a few people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, then looked at the people at the steel rolling mill, and the directors also left wisely.

The door to the house is closed.

Instantly hot.

Mr. Tao took out his cattail leaf fan and fanned himself, sweating on his forehead from drinking water.

"Mr. Tao, what are you doing?"

Dean Deng asked.

"The instructions were just issued. I called and told them that we are here. It just so happened that the matter was related to the steel rolling mill, so I came directly."

As soon as everyone heard the instructions from above, they immediately became energetic.

Mr. Tao glanced at Yang Xiaotao and continued.

"The superiors have instructed that the eggs cannot be placed in the same cage and must be separated."

"The farm will allocate a group of people and food, together with the tractors from the steel rolling mill, and send them to the northwest as soon as possible."

In one sentence, no one reacted.

"Old Deng, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences needs to deploy capable personnel. No mistakes can be made this time."

"Director Yang, now, as many tractors as there are in the steel rolling mill, load them all and transfer them immediately,"

"Yes Yes!"

The two of them quickly agreed.

"Also, Comrade Yang Xiaotao."

"Yes, leader!"

"The superior is satisfied with your performance in this exchange."

"Thank you for the recognition from your superiors and the praise from the leader. This is what I deserve."

Yang Xiaotao quickly became humble.

“Don’t be too impatient to be humble.”

Mr. Tao said seriously, "I have an important task for you."

Yang Youning and Chen Gong's heart skipped a beat.

Yang Xiaotao didn't know how to answer. He said it was an important task, so he had no choice.

"The report you handed in has been approved by the superiors and has been cooperated with the North, so we need to come up with the paper as soon as possible. You can discuss this with Lao Deng."

Yang Youning and others on the side were confused. What kind of paper?

Hasn't it been published before? Is there any new discovery?

No, I have to ask again later.

"We have discussed the matter of hybrid corn. There is no reason why our own family cannot do what others have done. Since we are already ahead, let's continue to lead all the way."

"So, I plan to let you go to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to be a teacher for a while. At that time, the Agricultural Sciences Academies from all over the country will allocate people to come and study."

"When the time comes, you have to sort out the hybrid corn, genetic mutations and so on."

After Tao Lao said so much, he felt thirsty again and looked for water everywhere. Chen Gong stepped forward quickly.

Yang Xiaotao was a little surprised when he heard that he wanted to be a teacher.

He was not afraid of teaching elementary school students, but he had never thought about teaching so many elites.

"Mr. Tao, Dean Deng, do you want to think about the class again?"

"I think Director Gao can do it too."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Gao Yufeng, but Gao Yufeng immediately shook his head, "Comrade Yang Xiaotao, I think it's more appropriate for you to come."

"First of all, you have experience and knowledge."

"Secondly, I am going to the northwest this time, how about you go?"

Ahem

"Well, as for academic exchange, I can still do it!"

Yang Xiaotao doesn't want to go to the west, at least not now.

It's not that he's worried about food. He only has what he has in his space, and if he saves a little, he'll be able to eat it for a few years.

The main thing is that the children are still young. If they go away for more than half a year, they will be unfamiliar when they come back.

Dean Deng winked at Gao Yufeng when he saw this, and they had already discussed it when they came.

But if there is no such thing as Northwest, we have to use other methods.

This way, there is no need to send people to follow him here. When Yang Xiaotao goes to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, he will naturally have a lot of time to study.

Yang Youning and Yang Youning also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. They didn't have to worry about being poached.

"Okay, that's it. Let's get ready."

"By the way, this transfer has a level of confidentiality. No one is allowed to mention it outside of this."

"Xiao Gao, you choose the people you bring with you, and they must be kept strictly confidential."

Since Gao Yufeng took the initiative to ask Mr. Tao Tao to agree, and Dean Deng also wanted to let him take over, it was only natural that he would make a contribution after this.

Gao Yufeng has been on business trips many times, all over the world, and even abroad, and he has long been used to it.

However, there is still some hesitation when it comes to choosing the candidate.

The best person is Yang Xiaotao.

But this man, even the steel rolling mill, would not let go unless he talked about the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

As soon as his mind changed, he paid attention.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Yang Youning frowned, didn't he want to be disturbed?

In the eyes of everyone, Chen Gong quickly walked over and opened the door, and then heard the sound of "Lao Liu."

Several people looked and saw that it was indeed Secretary Liu.

The current rolling mill is directly under the superior, Liu Huaimin.

Liu Huaimin walked into the room and looked at Mr. Tao and Dean Deng. His face flashed with surprise and he immediately stepped forward to say hello.

At the same time, he asked Yang Youning what was going on with his eyes.

Yang Youning indicated that there was no problem, then let go of his hand and entered the polite stage.

"Mr. Tao, the tractors from the steel rolling mill will be fully supplied to the northwest, and we will strive to complete the planting as soon as possible."

Liu Huaimin naturally knew the decision of his superiors, but he was not so clear about hybrid corn.

Mr. Tao nodded, and then continued the conversation.

Liu Huaimin then took the wooden box from his secretary.

Everyone was curious and turned their gazes over.

"Xiao Tao, come here!"

After Liu Huaimin finished speaking, everyone looked at Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward.

Afterwards, Liu Huaimin nodded with a pleased expression, looking satisfied in addition to being satisfied.

"You did a good job this time, and you are worthy of being a descendant of our workers. What you did is worthy of the country and the people..."

Liu Huaimin spoke with great truth. When Yang Xiaotao heard this, his face was full of enthusiasm, but his heart was speechless.

There is no need to praise so hard when you are guarding so many people.

"This is what the superior leader asked me to bring to you."

"I hope you can guard against arrogance and impatience, don't be proud, work down-to-earth to seek happiness for the people, and contribute your own strength to revolutionary construction..."

After another conversation, Yang Xiaotao suddenly felt that after being promoted, Secretary Liu was in tune with Yang Youning.

But soon he set his sights on the box.

What good things could be inside?
