Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 641 Emergency Mission

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao's life is quite leisurely.

There is an extra teacher in the school, and Ran Qiuye has more time, so he goes home from school and takes care of the children at home.

In the yard, Liu Yuhua held Xiao Yu and Ran Qiuye held Little Dragon Boat Festival. The two could talk all day long.

In the evening, people in the compound gathered together, listened to the radio broadcast, and chatted together.

The old man flashed his cattail leaf fan and shouted from time to time as he watched the children chasing each other; the women chatted about household chores, asking how their family was doing, whose children were getting older and it was time for a wife, and who had not yet given birth to a child; the men gathered together. , playing chess and cards, and there would be quarrels from time to time.

After work, enjoy the good times of life.

Yang Xiaotao found that since having children, Ran Qiuye spent less time reading.

Sure enough, when a woman has a child, her heart changes.

After the work of the rolling mill stabilized and the drawings were handed over, various places began to produce steam tractors. While sharing the traffic, the number of machines used in various places also increased.

Yang Xiaotao estimated in his mind that if this continues, within a few years, every village in the northern countryside will have one.

This has huge benefits for agricultural farming. Coupled with the cultivation of hybrid corn, food production will increase year by year.

Of course, that's assuming everything goes well.

Putting down the book, Yang Xiaotao got up and went out. He saw many people enjoying the shade under the big locust tree in the yard, so he also walked over.

Today is Sunday, and the courtyard is quite noisy.

Ran Qiuye was exchanging parenting experiences with Liu Yuhua, although she was also a novice.

There was a small cart next to the two of them, and the two children were lying in it, making noises from time to time.

This car is naturally the masterpiece of Yang Xiaotao.

The relationship between the two families is there, and it doesn't take much effort to build a small car.

"Daughter-in-law, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

Yang Xiaotao came over, and the words "daughter-in-law" made Ran Qiuye feel a little embarrassed in front of everyone.

"Just get whatever you want."

He quickly replied, Yang Xiaotao sat aside, stretched out his fingers and put them in Xiao Yu's palm. The small hands were soft and thin.

It's not like the little Dragon Boat Festival, it's so fleshy that you can't even separate it with your fingers.

"Want to eat fish? There is also a carp in the tank, which is perfect for braised carp."

"Okay, I like to eat!"

Liu Yuhua immediately agreed, and Ran Qiuye was not surprised. Now Liu Yuhua and Zhou Kui eat at their home more than at their own home.

Among them, the most important thing is that Yang Xiaotao's cooking is so delicious.

Even Chef Zhang from the Second Canteen may not be able to catch up.

Ran Qiuye was full of pride in this regard.

A man in my family can make money, cook, and work.

Looking at Liu Yuhua's wink, he knew what she was thinking and said, "Then let's make braised fish. I want to eat it too."

Ran Qiuye said softly, and Liu Yuhua immediately laughed.

"good."

Yang Xiaotao readily agreed, "When the time comes, let Xiaoyu drink fish soup, okay?"

Yang Xiaotao moved Xiaoyu's fingers with a look of fondness on his face.

"Qiuye, Brother Tao likes my daughter so much, please hurry up and have another one, just in time to find a companion for Xiaoyu."

"That's right, Teacher Ran, next time I give birth to a girl, I'll just follow my father."

"Well, they both have big eyes, so the daughter they give birth to will definitely be beautiful."

People in the surrounding courtyards were booing, and Yang Xiaotao also nodded silently, "Yes, Qiuye, I will have a daughter next time."

"My daughter is my father's little cotton-padded jacket! I like the little cotton-padded jacket the best!"

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's shameless words, Ran Qiuye rolled his eyes immediately.

Who has the nerve to say that he avoids me every time?

As if feeling Ran Qiuye's resentment, Yang Xiaotao quickly turned around, not daring to tease, otherwise he would have to hand in homework again tonight.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, while Qin Huairu, who was washing clothes at the side, slapped his sleeves, as if all the grievances, resentments and only pride in his heart were smashed to pieces.

My family is still planning carefully to eat a few steamed buns, but they all have enough to eat, and they are not afraid of being hated by others.

However, hearing that Yang Xiaotao liked his daughter made him feel uncomfortable again.

These days, girls are losers, even if they are also women, Jia Zhang said so, because that is what she herself did.

Qin Huairu thought of her parents at home, and their relationship had faded over the years.

So when Yang Xiaotao said this, it was all out of favor for Ran Qiuye.

After all, no one can guarantee that he will give birth to a son every time, but Yang Xiaotao is willing to accept this result.

Unlike the one who died in her family, she doesn't treat her daughter like a biological child.

Looking up at the happy Ran Qiuye, her radiant face became even more delicate.

Looking down at her fingers, Qin Huairu suppressed the pain in her heart and continued working.

As for the growling stomach, their family already eats twice a day.

"What a little cotton-padded jacket, I'll give you some air when the time comes. Let's see if you cry or not."

I cursed in my heart, and then looked at Xiaodang playing in the yard and Jia Zhang who knocked on the door, feeling sad, "We can't do this anymore!"

The thought that had been hesitant suddenly became firm at this moment.

Just when Yang Xiaotao got up and prepared to cook, a person hurriedly ran in from the yard.

Everyone looked up and then looked at Yang Xiaotao.

The visitor is Yang Youning’s secretary, Xiaoqiang.

"Section Chief Yang, Director Yang wants you to go to the factory quickly. There is an urgent task."

Xiaoqiang said, wiping sweat.

I ran in from the alley and didn't stop all the way, sweating a lot.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao was a little confused as to what emergency could happen at the steel rolling mill on the weekend.

"wait for me a while."

After saying that, he went back to the house and put on his shoes before coming out.

"Daughter-in-law, please make something to eat."

"Okay, slow down."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, picked two melons from the yard, washed them with water, threw one to Xiaoqiang, and then walked out.

"What happened?"

"have no idea?"

Xiaoqiang gnawed on the melon, it was so sweet.

"Good thing?"

"I don't know, but the factory director is very serious."

"Who is participating?"

"All the workshop directors, and some eighth-level workers."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao felt a little confused and speeded up.

The jeep left quickly and there was another round of gossip in the yard.

Came to the steel rolling mill, entered the office building, and came to the conference room.

Several workshop directors were together. On the other side, Yang Xiaotao also saw Liu Daming and Yi Zhonghai at the end, and felt even more nervous.

These are all eighth-level fitters in the factory!

problem occurs!

"Here, come and sit!"

Wang Guodong pointed to the stool next to him, and Yang Xiaotao quickly found a place to sit down.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit solemn, "Uncle Wang, what's going on?"

"I don't know, I also called you from home."

"I haven't even eaten yet!"

Sun Guo also said something on the side, and then came to Yang Xiaotao's side, "For a while, talk less and listen more!"

Yang Xiaotao nodded.

At this time, Yang Youning and Chen Gong walked in, and then the door closed.

"They're all here. There's something to do."

Yang Youning did not sit down, but stood and spoke directly.

The conference room became more solemn.

"I received an urgent notice from my superiors that there are no factories in Forty-Nine City. We have dispatched outstanding fitters to the northwest to support production."

"Our steel rolling mill has allocated three quotas."

"The only requirement is to select the best fitter as soon as possible to support the front line!"

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they went to the northwest for support again.

This kind of thing has happened before, but it was not good. Many people went there and have not come back yet.

The conference room was very heavy. It was not relaxing because of the small number of seats. On the contrary, it was even heavier because of this requirement.

The finest fitter.

They are all in Grade 8, who admits that he is worse than others?

What's more important is the meaning behind such things.

Yang Xiaotao is young and doesn't know, but many old people present understand that once these people are selected...

Last time, Liu Daming's apprentice left the steel rolling mill like this, and he hasn't seen anyone yet.

I don’t know whether I am alive or dead, and I have no news at all.

If it weren't for the checks issued by the steel rolling mill every month, who would still remember him?

Several people looked at Liu Daming aside, and Yang Xiaotao could feel the grief and anger in the old man.

But this task cannot be done without completing it. The higher-ups have gone down to the steel rolling mill. They must complete it, and they must complete it with quality and quantity.

Yang Youning looked around, and finally looked at Yang Xiaotao.

In his heart, there is no doubt about Yang Xiaotao's skills. In this steel rolling mill, as a fitter, he is the number one and there is no objection.

However, now that he is an engineer, he still has a lot of things to do.

The reason makes sense, but you can go or not.

Deep down in his heart, Yang Youning still wants to keep Yang Xiaotao. Who knows what will happen this time?

The rolling mill is still full of things. Without him, if something technically goes wrong, they really can't do anything about it. They always feel that they lack a backbone.

Yang Xiaotao felt Yang Youning's gaze, and Wang Guodong beside him reached out and pulled his sleeve.

There was warning in his eyes.

Yang Xiaotao sat there, having a fierce struggle in his heart.

This urgent mission is likely to be related to next year's earth-shattering event.

After traveling through time, it always feels like a pity not to witness such an important moment.

But now he is not alone, he has a family, a wife, a son, friends, and brothers.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao frowned and couldn't make up his mind.

"You are all excellent fitters in the factory. I hope you will have the courage to take on this task and contribute your strength to the country and the nation."

Yang Youning looked at the crowd, especially the few fitters, with no extra expression on his face.

At this time, Secretary Xiaoqiang knocked on the door and came in. When Secretary Liu called, Yang Youning hurried out.

Chen Gong thought for a moment and went to inquire about the news.

The room immediately became agitated and people were discussing with each other.

Especially the master fitter who was called here was struggling in his heart between his family and his country.

If it were an ordinary person, it would not be so difficult to choose.

But they are different. They understand that there is no family without a country.

But when the time comes, it's still hard to choose.

Wang Guodong began to tell Yang Xiaotao what happened before, and several people looked grave.

Yang Xiaotao also calmed down.

Yi Zhonghai was the last in the crowd, calculating in his mind.

He is an old man from a steel rolling mill, so he has naturally experienced what happened last time.

I was thinking silently in my mind.

What happened last time was that he deliberately let things go and was not selected.

And the facts proved that it was right not to go.

Otherwise, let alone finding someone to take care of him in old age, he still doesn’t know whether he can come back to these four-nine cities.

But this time, it's different.

Three years of forced labor!

He also wanted some closure, to go home and work hard for future generations.

Now, because he is far away from the courtyard, his control over Qin Huairu is getting weaker and lower. Especially recently, Qin Huairu has been somewhat ambiguous with Guo Da Paizi, which makes him wary.

Qin Huairu was his chosen partner. If he flew out of the courtyard, where would he find such a good tool?

But, what if I go and can’t come back? Might as well wait three years!

Yi Zhonghai was a little worried when he thought about the possible consequences.

How desolate it is to die of old age in a foreign land without even a single descendant!

I hesitated in my heart, feeling as uneasy as the people around me.

Da da

Rapid footsteps came, and Yang Youning walked in.

There was still a serious look on his face.

"After thinking about it, has anyone taken the initiative to sign up?"

After saying that, everyone looked at the fitters on the side.

No one spoke, and several of them had red faces, clenched fists, and trembling arms.

"I!"
