Scholars in the courtyard

Siheyuan

Ran Qiuye sat by the stove holding the Dragon Boat Festival. The little guy was very curious about the two relatives under his buttocks and always wanted to sit on them and take a look.

Several pregnant women with bulging bellies were sitting on the side, the fire was burning, the iron pot sitting on it was exhaling from the mouth, and rattling sounds could be heard from time to time from all around.

Now the Yang family has become a gathering place for them, and they come here to visit when they have nothing to do.

Of course, in this courtyard now, only the Yang family's fire is burning, and there are free melon seeds to eat.

After Yang Xiaotao came back, he bought a pile of coal and put it in the yard. He probably wouldn't be able to use it all throughout the winter.

Everyone in the courtyard saw this, and many people were envious, but that was just envy.

Ran Qiuye and Yang Xiaotao also knew the situation in the hospital, so they planned to give some to help the needy people in the hospital, which could also stop many people's mouths.

As for the candidates, at Yang Xiaotao's insistence, they only gave them to families who had needed help over the years. The Jia family, the Yan family, etc. were not considered at all.

And it was sent in the name of the street office.

It's not that Ran Qiuye is petty, she also knows that the Jia family's life is not as good as before. Even after Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu did their labor reform, they were on par with the worst families in the courtyard.

But Yang Xiaotao firmly disagreed.

In Yang Xiaotao's words, this family is like a white-eyed wolf. They give it in vain, but they will rely on it.

Including those in the courtyard, fighting for favors and enmities, if the Holy Mother's heart is overflowing, you will only be the one being cheated.

There was no choice but to disappoint the Jia family and the Yan family who were looking forward to it.

"Teacher Ran, are you going back to the countryside for the Chinese New Year this year?"

"No, Xiaotao said he would go back in the new year. It will be cold this year, so we will stay here."

Ran Qiuye said, and everyone around him was happy.

"This year we are finally here, so we can have a good time."

"Yes, that's right. My family said that they have made a lot of money this year and they want to treat Director Yang to a nice dinner."

The Liu family's daughter-in-law said, and the nearby women hurriedly helped her, "That's not true. Your family got a lot of benefits just by pressing the water well."

"Yes, you have to treat me to this meal. Director Yang is not available."

Da da

Suddenly there was running outside the door, and several people couldn't check. Then they heard Wangcai's cry, and Ran Qiuye hurried out to check the situation.

"sister in law."

The person who came was Zhou Peng, but it looked like he had come all the way, and he didn’t know what was going on.

Seeing the joy on his face, Ran Qiuye guessed that it was not a bad thing.

Ran Qiuye stamped her feet at Wangcai, who returned to his nest and then ran to the yard.

"Pengzi, why did you come back when you weren't at work?"

"Sister-in-law, good news, good news."

"Brother Tao, he has become the deputy director of the steel rolling mill. He was just elected today."

"Deputy factory director."

"My sister-in-law asked me to come over and tell you."

As Zhou Peng said, several women in the room who came out to see what was going on looked at each other, but none of them heard clearly.

"What did you say?"

Zhou Peng swallowed and spoke carefully.

"Brother Tao, it's done, deputy director."

In an instant, Ran Qiuye didn't know what to say. He opened his mouth, feeling joy, shock and full of pride in his heart.

The women in the room exclaimed one after another. The pregnant women who just said something about Director Yang immediately opened their mouths and were all shocked by the sudden news.

The emergence of a director in the courtyard was already as high as the sky, and now there is a deputy director.

This is second to none in the entire alley!

"From now on, you have to call Director Yang."

The Liu family's daughter-in-law whispered, and several people on the side nodded. She must treat her to a drink during the Chinese New Year this year.

Rolling mill, synagogue.

After Yang Xiaotao said a lot of thanks and promised that he would live up to so and so, and so on, it was finally over.

Although it took a long time and his voice was a bit loud, the audience still gave him warm applause.

In any case, this expression of determination made people in front of and behind him feel that the newly appointed deputy factory director was very aware and full of revolutionary enthusiasm.

It's just that the people next to me were waiting a little impatiently and felt a little uncomfortable.

So, when the microphone was handed over to Wang Guodong, facing the enthusiastic crowd, with Yang Xiaotao in front, Lao Wang felt a little bit frightened.

All in all, Yang Xiaotao does a lot of harm to people.

Wang Guodong just said a few words, then handed the microphone to Chen Gong, and then walked to the side of the rostrum, where staff had already moved two chairs and sat next to Yang Youning.

After the two of them were done, Wang Guodong blew his beard and glared at Yang Xiaotao, which made Yang Xiaozhi very happy.

While Liu Huaimin was talking, Yang Xiaotao leaned over and asked softly.

"Uncle Wang, what do you mean by that?"

"You brat, why are you talking so much? Just leave me a few words."

"I'm dizzy. I'd better hold back and stop talking."

"You are cruel."

The two of them suddenly laughed as they spoke.

"Uncle Wang, what should we do about this?"

"What else can we do? We have to invite everyone who should be invited. No one can be left behind."

"Where can I invite you? Canteen?"

Wang Guodong glanced at the crowd below and shook his head slowly, "No, the atmosphere in the factory has just risen recently, so we can't use eye drops at this time."

Yang Xiaotao was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Why don't you go to my house? I'll make a table just in time, and you still have sincerity."

"Okay, I'll prepare the wine then."

"Um."

After the two talked, they reached a consensus.

Liu Huaiming has finished speaking here. The general meaning is that he hopes that the steel rolling mill, under the leadership of the factory leaders and with the joint efforts of everyone, will keep pace with the times and become the vanguard and locomotive of revolutionary construction.

Applause rang out and then fell.

Yang Youning stood up again, glanced at Yang Xiaotao and Wang Guodong beside him, nodded to Liu Huaiming, and then walked to the center of the rostrum.

"First of all, we would like to congratulate the two comrades who have been entrusted with important responsibilities on the revolutionary road."

"At the same time, I hope they can live up to everyone's expectations and contribute their own efforts to the construction of the steel rolling mill."

Looking at the two people while speaking, Yang Xiaotao and Wang Guodong quickly sat upright with serious expressions.

"From now on, Comrade Wang Guodong will be responsible for the production tasks of workshops one to nine."

"Comrade Yang Xiaotao, responsible for the 10th, 11th and technology research and development work."

"I hope everyone can support and supervise me at work."

After Yang Youning announced the responsibilities of Yang Xiaotao and Wang Guodong, he spoke eloquently for another half an hour, and then the meeting ended with a burst of warm applause.

Everyone started to take a stand, Yang Xiaotao and Wang Guodong were still communicating with Secretary Liu and Director Liu.

"This is the recognition of you from your superiors, and it is also their expectation for you."

Liu Huaimin stood with Yang Xiaotao, and his words were full of encouragement, "Before I came, Mr. Xia highly praised your ability to complete the tasks of your superiors. He also said that sometimes, if young people take bigger steps, they can Change the original progress.”

"I hope you won't live up to Mr. Xia's respect."

"Secretary Liu, please tell the leader that I will talk less and do more, do practical things and do things that are beneficial to the people."

Liu Huaimin nodded, then said a few words to Wang Guodong, and then left the rolling mill with Director Liu.

Yang Xiaotao followed Yang Youning, put the two of them in the car, and then walked to the office.

On the road, the four people walked together, and the workers along the way stopped and talked about them. There is no doubt that these four people are the future senior executives of the steel rolling mill.

Especially Yang Xiaotao, one of the four, has become the deputy director at such a young age. With his ability, he can survive until the other three retire and become the director of the steel rolling mill.

This is also the unanimous idea in everyone's mind.

Too young, too advantageous.

Returning to Yang Youning's office, the four of them sat down. Yang Youning asked Xiaoqiang to serve tea, looking very happy.

"Come on, come on, we finally have enough people."

"From now on, we must work together for the steel rolling mill. The four of us will set up a stage to sing, so we must cooperate well."

Yang Youning said, Chen Gong took the lead in nodding, "That's right. From now on, we will advance and retreat together, and we will handle things together."

After saying that, he and Yang Youning looked at each other and both smiled.

Yang Xiaotao happened to be thirsty, so he picked up the water bottle and took a sip. He almost drank half of it, and the water in his mouth almost spurted out.

Wang Guodong also understood what the two of them meant, and his eyes widened, "No, what do you mean?"

"Co-authored, we are here to top the tank."

Yang Xiaotao swallowed the water and said quickly, "Yes, Director Yang, Director Chen, I'm still young and a child, I can't stand it."

"Bah, you are still a child, and your children are almost three."

Yang Youning said with a smile, this time he finally tied this good horse firmly to the steel rolling mill.

Before leaving, Liu Huaimin's cryptic look was an affirmation for him. It won't take long for the superiors to know that things were done well this time.

"Yes, my son is still so young, and my wife's belly still has two babies."

"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about? It feels like the sky is falling. Can't you think better?"

Chen Gong pointed at Yang Xiaotao and criticized him in a serious manner. If the two of them said they were not selfish, it would be a lie. After all, the day Yang Xiaotao was in the steel rolling mill, the superiors would pay attention to him.

He is an engineer and has the ability to repair rolling mills and design tractors. I don’t know about it in the future, but with his current achievements, not to mention the slave factories in Forty-Nine City, even the military intends to transfer him into the system.

That's why it's even more important to keep this guy.

As long as we stay, the steel rolling mill will not be lonely in the future.

The two people looked at each other and laughed, as if their conspiracy had succeeded.

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes when he saw it, and muttered, "The sky is falling anyway, you three hold on first so I can run away."

Wang Guodong listened and suddenly felt bad.

We are in the same group.

Do you think I'm tall?

Wang Guodong suddenly felt that it would be very tiring to be the deputy director.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get down to business."

Yang Youning put down his cup and looked at Yang Xiaotao.

"As I said just now, from now on, the routine tasks will be handed over to Guodong. You must do a good job in the ideological work of the workers. The routine tasks are the foundation of our steel rolling mill. If we cannot complete them and fail to complete the above tasks, our steel rolling mill will be embarrassed. .”

Wang Guodong nodded, actually he understood the intention when he arranged the workshop.

"I know, I guarantee there won't be any mistakes."

"Well, this is our basic plan. As long as there are no problems with these, everything else is just a minor problem."

Wang Guodong nodded.

Yang Youning looked at Yang Xiaotao again.

"Guodong is our shield in stabilizing the fundamentals. Then you are the sword for the development of our steel rolling mill."

"How far you can go, how far you can reach, your sword is the key."

"The enemy that Lao Yang said is supported by a few of us. No matter how capable you are, feel free to use it."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I understand."
