Scholars in the courtyard

When Yang Xiaotao woke up from hunger, it was already eight o'clock the next morning.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at his watch and was curious, why didn't he do any exercises this morning?

Besides, it’s so quiet outside!

Get up, carry the basin and walk outside.

Outside the door, Liu Daming and Shen Rong were communicating, their voices low.

"Gong Liu, Team Leader Shen, what are you talking about?"

Yang Xiaotao walked over with a basin. When the two saw Yang Xiaotao, they immediately straightened up and talked. Shen Rong even came over and looked at Yang Xiaotao with relief.

"Master Yang, have you recovered?"

"Well, I feel better after a nap, but I'm just hungry."

"I've got it ready for you. Come on, I'll take you to dinner."

Shen Rong said happily.

Yang Xiaotao asked where were the other people in the warehouse?

Shen Rong smiled and said, "We are all busy. When you finish eating, the team leader wants you to come with us."

Yang Xiaotao nodded and walked to the meal point. The cook placed a bucket of noodles in front of Yang Xiaotao.

"The team leader told me to let you eat enough."

"Don't worry, this is his own share, just eat as much as you can."

Shen Rong said, and gave Yang Xiaotao a bowl, which was still steaming. Yang Xiaotao quickly took it, "You don't want to eat it?"

"You've eaten, hurry up."

Yang Xiaotao was urged to finish eating, and then went out to see Zhang Dedao waiting aside.

"Let's go, get in the car!"

Yang Xiaotao was surprised, did he take a car today? Or a Jeep?

"Thanks to you, we don't have to walk."

Zhang Dedao spoke with some regret.

Yang Xiaotao didn't recognize it either. Anyway, this bull-nosed man always spoke like this.

It's fast by car. What used to be an hour's journey takes less than ten minutes.

Arriving at the base, Yang Xiaotao and Yang Xiaotao came to the familiar room again, just like before.

"well!"

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Dedao started to sigh. When Yang Xiaotao asked him what was going on, he didn't say anything. He only looked at him occasionally, which made Yang Xiaotao feel a sense of resentment.

Yang Xiaotao was so frightened that he quickly went to the window to look at the scenery.

This awesome nose is so evil!

Experimental area.

The newly assembled test product looks no different from the previous one, but those who are familiar with the manufacturing process know that the inside has long changed.

There were still three people watching in the observation room.

"Lao Ran, you won't go down anymore?"

Director Zheng spoke, and Director Huang looked over.

He has now determined that this team leader Ran has thoughts about Yang Xiaotao.

Of course, he had the same idea. Who wouldn't like such a good seedling?

With him here, I can support a team!

You must react to your superiors and keep people here.

Ran's father doesn't know what Director Huang is thinking, so he will definitely come up and try to trick you into taking advantage of my uncle.

"I won't go. It's just a little bit worse than last time. As long as there's no problem, that's fine."

Ran's father said calmly, but his face was full of pride.

Director Zheng on the side felt disgusted, but couldn't envy him.

Who would have thought that that little guy could actually be made? Not only was it done, but it also reached a precision of 1.5. Even a machine cannot achieve this level of accuracy.

damn it.

Director Zheng just wants to curse for fun.

While speaking, the experiment below has entered a critical moment.

The three of them became nervous as they watched.

As the pressure increased, nearby observers took careful notes.

After two minutes passed, a sound of success resounded throughout the experimental area.

Director Zheng put aside other thoughts and reached out to hold the hands of Father Ran and Director Huang. The six hands were crossed and held together, with excitement on his face.

"Success, success!"

"Hahaha, our mission is accomplished!"

The three of them shouted, and they were all a little incoherent in their excitement.

"I'll report the good news to the commander-in-chief!"

Director Zheng said a word and ran away quickly, while Father Ran and Director Huang stayed behind to clean up the scene.

"I said, what do you mean by sighing here?"

Yang Xiaotao really couldn't stand Zhang Laodao's eyes and the sighs he heard from time to time.

After hearing Yang Xiaotao's words, Zhang Dedao looked over with a special look.

"Niubi, I tell you, if you look at me like this again, I will go back and take away your wine jar!"

"You have to take it as much as you like."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Dedao suddenly spoke and choked Yang Xiaotao.

"No, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? From now on, if you want to drink, feel free to drink."

Yang Xiaotao was stunned, "Bah, I won't drink it. You can keep it for yourself in the future. I'll go back to Sijiu City, I..."

Yang Xiaotao suddenly stopped talking and his face changed wildly, "Niubi, did you hear something?"

"Hey, boy, this is good or bad, it all depends on what you think."

Zhang Dedao stopped talking after speaking, but Yang Xiaotao felt clear in his heart.

My performance during this period has become somewhat conspicuous.

Perhaps, the above has already started to consider it.

When the time comes, how do you choose?

On the other side, Director Zheng was in the office, talking to the phone about what happened.

Judging from his respectful look, the person on the other side of the phone has a good background.

I thought it was just a report and it would be over, but I didn't know that I had been talking here for almost half an hour.

He couldn't figure out what the other boss was thinking.

When the other party hung up the phone, Director Zheng was still in a daze. Father Ran and Director Huang who were waiting at the door hung up the phone and walked in quickly.

"Old Zheng!"

Ran's father said something without asking any more questions, but Director Zheng smiled.

"Let's go meet the hero this time."

He said and left first.

In the room, Yang Xiaotao was still fighting in his heart.

If you stay, it's not impossible. Anyway, there isn't much time left before that happens.

But I'm afraid that I will continue to stay behind. After all, you can't use a slingshot with that thing.

In that case, one year? Two years? Or longer…

Yang Xiaotao felt unsure.

Can you refuse...

Will it make you say no?

In addition to Zhang Dedao's sigh, there was also the sound of Yang Xiaotao's pacing in the room.

squeak…

The door was pushed open, and Director Zheng walked in with a smile on his face.

Ran's father glanced at Yang Xiaotao behind him and was very pleased, but this relief quickly turned into sadness.

After finishing just now, Director Huang's words made him break into a cold sweat.

I want to keep Yang Xiaotao here.

Perhaps he was motivated by public interest and wanted to recruit talents for this cause.

But in his heart, selfishness still prevailed.

As long as he is here to endure hardship, the next generation needs to do other more meaningful things.

Ran's father thought so, but he couldn't speak.

Everyone has his own choice, and everyone has his own feelings about his family and country.

Yang Xiaotao saw the three people coming in and quickly calmed down.

On the other side, Zhang Dedao also changed his expression, looking upright.

Director Zheng told his face that the experiment was successful, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao.

"Comrade Yang Xiaotao, thank you for your efforts."

Director Zheng stepped forward and held Yang Xiaotao's hand with extra force.

"Leaders have to do what they should do."

Yang Xiaotao's voice was trembling, and there was some resistance in his heart.

Did you go too far?

Director Zheng didn't think much about it, thinking it was because of excitement, he looked at Yang Xiaotao and liked it even more.

This kid not only completed the task, but also came into the chief engineer's eyes.

When we made the call just now, the chief engineer specifically asked for the call and talked for more than half an hour.

To sum up, there are two things. One is to congratulate Yang Xiaotao for being able to have his own ideas, learn and apply them, and create something of his own.

At the same time, let them not be limited to foreign things, their own is the most suitable.

The second is to award Yang Xiaotao a medal.

The issuer is already on his way.

He doesn't even have this thing.

"Don't leave for a while, we still have a mission."

After Director Zheng finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao felt a sudden change in his heart, thinking, what are you thinking about?

Director Huang on the side then stepped forward to shake hands with the two.

Then there was another round of praise and encouragement. This time the task was completed, and all participants had meritorious service, which was recorded.

Yang Xiaotao was polite, but he felt that Director Huang was too polite.

Finally, Ran's father said a few words. Yang Xiaotao could tell that Ran's father was worried, and thought of what he had guessed, maybe the two of them thought of going together.

After finishing speaking, the two of them looked at each other helplessly.

Yang Xiaotao simply didn't want to think about it anymore. There must be a road for cars to reach the mountain and for boats to reach the bridge.

we'll talk about it then.

Several people were discussing on the side when they heard footsteps coming from outside.

Then a young man wearing a special uniform walked in followed by two soldiers.

"Hello, Director Zheng!"

The young man entered the room and saluted, without introducing himself.

However, Director Zheng and Zhang Dedao became obviously serious after seeing each other's clothes.

Yang Xiaotao looked curious, who is this person?

"Hello, comrade!"

After Director Zheng finished speaking, he saw the young man looking towards the people in the room, and finally towards Yang Xiaotao.

"Hello, this is Comrade Yang Xiaotao."

"Yes, hello, I'm Yang Xiaotao."

The young man smiled kindly.

"I am ordered to forward this medal to you!"

After speaking, he took an iron box from a soldier behind him.

He walked solemnly to Yang Xiaotao and raised his hand.

"Thank you for your contribution to the country and your efforts to the nation."

"The commander-in-chief hopes that in the future, you can continue to maintain an optimistic spirit, work hard, and move forward courageously in the construction of the motherland, just like here."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the box in front of him, searching for the impression of the commander-in-chief in his mind, but he couldn't figure out who this person was.

However, the words the other party brought seemed to mean that he was leaving?

This is good news.

Finally, when he saw the iron box handed to him, Yang Xiaotao took it with both hands.

"Please rest assured, leader, please rest assured, commander-in-chief. I will definitely work hard to build the revolution and serve the people wholeheartedly!"

The young man smiled and nodded, "I will take it back."

"Comrade Yang Xiaotao, goodbye!"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand, and Yang Xiaotao also stretched out his right hand, and the two held each other tightly.

"goodbye!"

The young man came as quickly as he left. He turned around and left the room before disappearing into the corridor.

Only then did Yang Xiaotao react and open the iron box in his hand.

Ran's father immediately came over to take a look.

He understood the meaning of the words just now, and the superiors let him go.

Although he didn't know the leader's considerations, Yang Xiaotao felt at ease because he could go home and take care of his children.

Director Zheng and Zhang Dedao also came over, but Director Huang struggled in his eyes and finally made up his mind to give it a try.

"what is this?"

"A medal? What, a bullet casing?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the contents of the box, a brass-colored bullet shell with two small dots on the bottom, like two small wings. A red line runs through the bottom. If it is hung around the neck, it looks a bit like the whistle that I played with when I was a child.

"What do you know? With so many people in our base, we can't get more than two hands on this thing."

Seeing the disgust on Yang Xiaotao's face, Ran's father almost raised his hand.

Zhang Dedao and Director Huang looked at each other, and both could see the fire hidden in each other's eyes.

They have been working here for so many years and have never encountered this before. When did the leaders above become so generous?

Could it be that the pre-appraisal requirements have been lowered?

Isn't it just making a component and changing the design?

Is it necessary to give such a high honor?

There was a hint of suspicion in the eyes of the two of them.

Director Zheng still couldn't stand it, "Boy, this thing is our internal honor, called the "Take-off" medal. Yours is made of copper, that is, you are here to help, like us..."

Director Zheng was a little sour at the end.

In terms of contribution, none of them are bad, but the limit of evaluation is there, and they can only pursue a higher honor, which is the silver "Beyond" medal.

When Yang Xiaotao heard this, he quickly clutched the medal. This thing may not be like other widely circulated medals, but in this circle, it is definitely heavyweight.
