Scholars in the courtyard

Everyone was curious, and Yang Xiaotao was no exception.

Seeing this, Liu Huaimin smiled and said, "Open it and take a look, kid, I'm even a little jealous."

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's curious look, Liu Huaimin moved the wooden box forward.

Yang Xiaotao quickly took it.

After hearing what Liu Huaimin said, the people around him also came over to watch.

As Yang Xiaotao opened the box, everyone saw that there was a book inside, an old book.

"hiss…"

"No way, another one?"

After just one glance, Yang Youning and Chen Gong reacted.

All of them knew that Yang Xiaotao once harvested a book because of the hybrid corn thing.

They are very greedy for that book.

And now, another book…

Yang Xiaotao resisted the excitement in his heart and picked up the book.

The book is very thick and bulging, so something must have been stuck inside.

"Das Kapital"

This is also available in libraries, but those are newer.

The book in front of me must be quite old.

This further illustrates the value.

Opening it carefully, there were indeed many notes inside.

Suddenly, Yang Xiaotao saw a familiar name.

"This is!"

Chen Gong suddenly spoke after seeing it.

Yang Xiaotao closed the book with a snap, then quickly put it in the box and hugged it to his chest.

He already knew who gave him the book.

This person is also a great man in his heart.

Yang Youning opened his mouth wide, and then stabbed Liu Huaimin on the side.

"yes…"

The finger pointed upward.

Liu Huaimin nodded.

Mr. Tao was also surprised. He didn't expect that Yang Xiaotao would fall into that person's eyes.

Everyone looked at the box that Yang Xiaotao held in front of his chest. Thoughts continued in their hearts, but they were all sad.

Why is this guy so lucky at such a young age?

Mr. Tao and others sat for a while and then got up and left. Several others followed and sent them out, and then only the people from the steel rolling mill were left.

"Lao Liu, come and finish your meal before leaving. It just so happens that we don't get together anymore!"

Yang Youning pulled Liu Huaimin and refused to let him go, so Liu Huaimin simply followed him back to the steel rolling mill.

After leaving this period, I still miss the steel rolling mill very much.

At least, there's not that much intrigue.

Back in the office, Yang Youning sent Yang Xiaotao to arrange the tractor and left the wooden box behind.

Yang Xiaotao could only reluctantly leave the box behind, and then quickly went to the workshop to arrange things.

Fortunately, with the help of Lou Xiao'e, I remember clearly where to send the goods every time. Although Mr. Tao said that everything will be given to Northwest, the steel rolling mill has its own considerations.

After looking at the details of the recent shipments and the inventory, Yang Xiaotao started scheduling.

On the premise of not affecting the interests of both parties, the local government will not say anything if the shipment volume is appropriately reduced.

But if one car doesn't start, it will offend people.

Of course, this will put greater production pressure on the steel rolling mill.

Yang Xiaotao was thinking about increasing the number of people working the night shift.

Workers are allowed to rest when it is too hot during the day and return to work when it cools down at night.

This way you can keep up with the progress.

In the afternoon, after the arrangements were made, the team started to set off.

At this time, the horn of the steel rolling mill suddenly sounded.

Everyone thought it was just routine publicity and didn't take it seriously.

But I didn't expect it to be a reward notification.

"Comrade workers, please note that Comrade Yang Xiaotao of our steel rolling mill works hard, studies and studies, and has made outstanding contributions to our factory."

"With the unanimous approval of the superior department and the leaders of the steel rolling mill, Comrade Yang Xiaotao is specially awarded the honorary title of Advanced Worker."

"Comrade workers, please pay attention..."

The loudspeaker rang three times, and the news spread throughout the factory.

In the workshop, Liu Gong and others congratulated Yang Xiaotao. They had heard about what happened that night from Wang Fa and others, but did not inquire carefully.

But today it seems that it should be resolved.

Yang Xiaotao responded politely.

Since there are rewards from above, it doesn't make sense that the steel rolling mill doesn't have any points.

It is reasonable to give it to an advanced worker.

"Section Chief, for such a big happy event, we can't treat guests to dinner?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled and worked hard on the side. Being an advanced worker is not only an honor, but also a qualification.

When Yang Xiaotao reaches this stage, if he wants to climb up, these things are indispensable.

"Please, didn't you just eat two days ago? You are going to make my family poor!"

Yang Xiaotao said miserably that he didn't lack that, but he couldn't show off.

Besides, this advanced thing seems to be the third time.

Some are immune.

…

In the tenth workshop, Yi Zhonghai had just finished helping Qin Huairu correct his movements. Qin Huairu was rubbing his arms and complaining to Yi Zhonghai in a low voice.

"Master, please think of a way. This guy Guo is deducting wages all day long. How can our family survive?"

Qin Huairu's face showed grievance.

Yi Zhonghai sighed, "No matter what you try, it's useless. Just practice hard and try to reduce the scrap rate. Then he won't cause trouble!"

Qin Huairu bit her lip, looking miserable.

What kind of data, what kind of format, it is simply an astronomical number, it is strange that she can understand it.

Now the work depends entirely on the feel of the hand, just like an eighth-level fitter.

It's just that they have rich experience, and their feel is no better than a mechanical watch.

But Qin Huairu felt casual.

"I, I can't learn well!"

Qin Huairu also knew that if she wanted to learn, she had to calm down, but there were so many things at home, including eating and making money, how could she calm down?

"I can't always help you."

As Yi Zhonghai said this, Qin Huairu instantly lost his expression.

Without Yi Zhonghai's help, she would still be an apprentice.

If not, we may have to liquidate and clean up the factory.

"Master, you, you have to help me!"

Qin Huairu begged. If there weren't so many pairs of eyes around her, she would have folded her arms and launched an offensive.

"Ahem!"

"You go to the warehouse to get steamed buns at night?"

Qin Huairu gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Then, go later today, I'll let Silly Zhu stay for you!"

Yi Zhonghai said lightly, and Qin Huairu was struggling with whether to agree or not, because she knew exactly what would happen if he went.

"Fellow comrades workers, please..."

The sound of the trumpet came, and Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were stunned at the same time.

Determination flashed in Qin Huairu's eyes.

"good!"

Toilet area.

Xu Damao and Shazhu were rinsing with a wooden barrel each. The stench kept coming, and their faces turned yellow.

It's just that Xu Damao's movements were a bit uncoordinated, and he obviously lost again in the previous competition.

However, if you lose, you don't lose. Anyway, after beating you a lot, your body has adapted.

As long as the key positions are protected, the stupid pillars cannot take advantage of other places.

Besides, Xu Damao is not the one who suffers losses. If he can't beat him, he will just use his mind. Anyway, he can go home and clean up. Can Silly Zhu go home?

Does he still have a home?

"Silly Zhu, let me tell you, now that I have money, I will go to a restaurant tonight. I will make you mad."

"Hey, Silly Mao, with your virtue, what can you get? It's just a piece of shit in your mouth, bah!"

"Hey, you're jealous! You can't get out here, so hurry up."

"Si Mao, you're looking for a fucking beating, aren't you?"

Silly Zhu couldn't suppress his anger with just a few words. Xu Damao held up the barrel and shouted, "Silly Zhu, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

"Hey, silly Mao, I won't teach you a lesson today..."

"Dear comrades workers..."

The sound of the radio came, and the two of them just stood there.

It wasn't until three times that the two of them came back to their senses.

Then, they all cursed in unison, "What a bastard!"

Then he looked at each other in surprise.

"What a bastard!"

…

On the other side, Gao Yufeng also informed Dean Deng of the candidates.

"Are you sure you want to take them?"

"They are all a bunch of dolls!"

Dean Deng was a little surprised.

"Dean, who is most familiar with the operation of hybrid corn? These children have studied with Yang Xiaotao for a long time and are serious about their work. They know this best."

Gao Yufeng was thinking about those students in Yangjiazhuang.

However, the oldest of these students is only thirteen or fourteen years old. It is no joke to leave home and go to the northwest.

Normal young people may not be able to adapt to the environment. If this child is gone, if anything goes wrong, it will be a serious crime.

"Dean, if you want to complete the planting as soon as possible, this is the best way."

Gao Yufeng saw that Dean Deng was still hesitating, "I will explain this matter to Yang Xiaotao and discuss it with the village."

"I think they will agree!"

Seeing this, Dean Deng sighed.

Such a large Academy of Agricultural Sciences actually wants a group of children to go on an expedition.

Yang Xiaotao should have been admitted to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences from the beginning, instead of having no one available now.

Alas, now, it's too late!

…

Night falls.

Yang Xiaotao, Liu Huaimin, and Chen Gong Yang Youning sat together, with four cold dishes, two hot dishes, and a glass of wine each in front of the table.

"I asked you, boy, what else are you hiding from us?"

Yang Youning's face turned red after taking two sips.

In the afternoon, Liu Huaimin told the two of them what he knew. At this time, Yang Xiaotao also told the story.

"No, that's all!"

Yang Xiaotao took a bite of the pig head meat, and the minced garlic spread in his mouth. It was cold and delicious, so delicious!

"It's strange that I believe it!"

"What I said is true."

Yang Xiaotao waved his hands and said seriously.

Yang Youning didn't believe it.

Then he took out an envelope and threw it to Yang Xiaotao.

People's hearts still need to be won over.

"This is a reward given to you by the factory."

Yang Xiaotao took it and squeezed it, and he knew a lot.

I didn’t even open it and said, “Thank you, the leader, thank you, the factory director, thank you…”

"Okay, stop doing this."

Liu Huaimin pulled open the collar of his clothes and interrupted Yang Xiaotao's compliment.

"If you are really grateful, come up with more ideas and help the steel rolling mill. Make more contributions."

"Also, just don't cause any trouble."

Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately.

The three of them immediately started chatting, while Yang Xiaotao listened.

Yang Youning and Chen Gong listened with interest when they talked about their troubles. There was no way they would be involved in these officialdom matters in the future.

Yang Xiaotao was also listening. In short, if you don't have too many skills, you can't push away the experience you have passed on.

"I wonder what Lao Xu is like!"

Chen Gong suddenly lamented that the four people in the steel rolling mill had a clear division of labor and advanced and retreated together.

Now they were left holding their ground.

Speaking of this, Liu Huaimin smiled bitterly, "During the last meeting, his leader was named again. Alas, it's also unlucky. I guess Lao Xu is under a lot of pressure."

Yang Youning picked up the wine glass and said, "Hey!"

"Come, let's toast to Old Xu from afar. I wish him success as soon as possible!"

"Damn it, can you speak?"

"Be careful I tell him to..."

Even though he said it, he was just gloating about his misfortune.

I don’t know if Xu Yuanshan should be angry or laugh when he finds out.

The three of them talked and laughed, and it ended quickly, and then everyone went about their own business.

Rolling mill, warehouse.

This place is close to the edge, and the things in the warehouse itself are useless. In addition, the warehouse has been in disrepair for a long time, so it has become a temporary residence for Silly Zhu and Yi Zhonghai.

There are a lot of mosquitoes at night, especially in this kind of wilderness. They are like beans and extremely ferocious.

Yi Zhonghai came back early, tidied up the warehouse, found some mugwort, and lit it in the warehouse to smoke out the mosquitoes.

Fortunately, my aunt at home sent me a mosquito net. It was said to be a mosquito net, but it was just pieced together with fabrics at home. Although it was stuffy, it was better than feeding mosquitoes.

Silly Zhu next door couldn't stand mosquitoes, so he asked Qin Huairu to help build a bed, but he still hasn't found it yet.

Fortunately, Silhu has a strong body and thick skin, so mosquito bites may not break his skin.

After returning to the warehouse to clean up, Ma Hua delivered the steamed buns as usual when he got off work. Sometimes he also brought a lunch box with leftovers in it.

Although it is not as delicious as the one made by Shazhu, it is better because it has more oil and water.

It’s much better than the ‘working meal’ at Wo Wo Tou.

He told Shazhu many times that Ma Hua was the right disciple.

Looking at the sky outside, Yi Zhonghai felt that it was almost time.

Sure enough, after a while, a figure came from the secret place.

Yi Zhonghai knew it was Qin Huairu just by looking at it.

"come on in."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't wait.

A flash of disgust flashed across Qin Huairu's face, but she quickly covered it up.

"Master!"

"Huairu."

Yi Zhonghai held Qin Huairu's wrist with some excitement on his face.

These days, without his aunt around, guarding Silly Zhu every day, he has nowhere to vent his anger.

Qin Huairu was very reluctant, but her face still looked calm.

The two came to the warehouse.

Yi Zhonghai put out the kerosene lamp, and then
