Scholars in the courtyard

"Just come back! Just come back."

"Um!"

The two had met each other, and said hello to Chen Gong and Wang Guodong, then stepped aside to introduce the newcomers.

"Director, this is Director Liu!"

Entering Forty-Nine City, Yang Xiaotao became the leader and led the way. At this time, Liu Dehui also came down to meet Yang Youning and introduced him from the side.

"Director Yang, thank you very much!"

Liu Dehui held Yang Youning's hand and shook it twice.

"One family does not speak the same language as two families! For the sake of the country, let's just say this and ignore it."

"Let's go, eat first, and then go make some noise after you've rested."

Liu Dehui was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and smiled as well, "Okay, let's go together."

Several people walked to the office together. The logistics staff had prepared hot water for dinner. Yang Youning took Chen Gong and Liu Dehui to drink together, but Yang Xiaotao said he was guilty and was in a hurry to go home, so he did not participate.

Yang Youning and the others didn't care. After being out for so long, it was time to go home and take a look. Yang Xiaotao rode his bicycle all the way. He had been away for ten days. At first, he didn't feel it. After all, Xiaowei was beside him and he could watch the "video". Moreover, he spent every day busy, so the feeling of homesickness was not that intense.

But as he got closer to Sijiu City, the feeling became stronger.

Thinking of the scenes of his wife, son, and family, and thinking of the other party's surprise when he suddenly showed up, scenes appeared in his mind, and Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but exert force on his feet.

Xiaowei lay on Yang Xiaotao's shoulder, feeling the master's eagerness and joy, and also chirped like a car bell.

There were not many people walking along the way. The workers at the steel rolling mill had already got off work, and it was cold and no one was hanging around outside.

These days, there are plenty of cotton-padded jackets at home, and Sijiucheng is better. In other places, when the weather gets cold, people basically don’t go out and only go out to bask in the sun.

The car rolled over the cement road. Yang Xiaotao stopped when he entered the alley, found a corner and took out two packages of mutton rolls, a package of beef rolls, and the torn-off dipping soup base from the space.

It's a cold day, so it's a good time to make hot pot.

Put it in a bag and hang it on the car, Yang Xiaotao rode into the alley.

When we arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, the door was open and there was no one there.

Yang Xiaotao didn't care and drove towards the middle courtyard.

Yan Fugui was waiting for dinner at home when he saw Yang Xiaotao's figure passing by. He ran to the door and took a look before walking back into the house, "Yang Xiaotao is back?"

After hearing this, the third aunt quickly took a look, and happened to see the back of the hanging flower door, with a smile on her face, "Hey, this guy is back, and the people in the courtyard will be honest."

Yan Fugui nodded. After summing up his experience and lessons these days, Yan Fugui found that as long as Yang Xiaotao was in this courtyard, there would be less trouble and the Jia family would be more honest.

But if Yang Xiaotao leaves, something will definitely happen in the courtyard.

Yan Fugui told his family about this discovery. The third aunt, Yu Li, and the others recalled it together and found that it was really like this.

"It's good to come back. There must be someone in this courtyard who can control him."

Yan Fugui said, closing the door and living his own life.

In the middle courtyard, everyone was preparing dinner, and then they saw Yang Xiaotao driving back.

After passing the Weeping Flower Gate, Yang Xiaotao walked towards his yard.

There were slowly things hanging on the car, and many people said hello, and Yang Xiaotao responded one by one.

Qin Huairu sat at the door and lit the fire dully. There was one less person in the house, so this meal was also saved.

It's just that she would rather have less than one person, even if everyone can't eat enough together, she doesn't want anything to happen to Banggeng.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao walking past the door, with his pocket full of things and the smile on his face, Qin Huairu felt cold and hateful.

If their dog hadn't found the money, Bangge wouldn't have been taken away, and this family wouldn't have to be like this.

It's all his fault, Yang Xiaotao, and that hateful woman.

If it weren't for them, this courtyard would still be Qin Huairu's stage.

But now, there is almost no room for it.

In the house, Mrs. Jia Zhang was completely lost. She stopped working and stayed at home, eating and waiting to die.

Bangge was taken away, just like the backbone of the Jia family was broken, lifeless.

…

"Daughter-in-law, Mom. I'm back."

Yang Xiaotao parked the car in the yard, and Wangcai was already circling around him. Xiaowei took the opportunity to get on Wangcai, and then ran away happily.

In the house, Ran's mother was lighting a fire to cook, and Ran Qiuye was holding the Dragon Boat Festival. The little bastard didn't want to stay in bed, so he wanted to get down, but he had just learned to crawl and couldn't stand firmly, so he could only be rolled around under Ran Qiuye's arms. .

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the house. The little guy raised his head and looked at the door.

The sound was vague, and just as Yang Xiaotao opened the door and came in, he heard the sound of the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Hey~~"

"Good son, haha."

As soon as he came in, he heard his son calling him. Yang Xiaotao immediately responded, put the things aside, and hugged Dragon Boat Festival from Ran Qiuye's arms.

The little guy was wearing a cotton-padded jacket, his hair was not fully grown, his big eyes were blinking, and he stretched out his little hands to grab.

Yang Xiaotao held Duanwu and spun around in circles, but Ran Qiuye quickly stopped him, "It's cold on your body, don't freeze your child."

After saying this, he called the giggling Dragon Boat Festival over. Ran's mother also stepped forward, and Ran Xinrui and Ran Hongbing in the room also gathered over.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back?"

"Mom, I'm driving back this time."

"From Quancheng?"

"right!"

Yang Xiaotao took off his coat and hung it on the wall, and then picked up the little Dragon Boat Festival. Ran Qiuye was also happy mentally. With his man back, the family had a backbone, and he felt a sense of security in his heart.

"I bought mutton and beef rolls. Let's have hot pot tonight."

"Ah, oh, let's eat hot pot, let's eat hot pot~~~"

Ran Hongbing was running in the room, and Ran Qiuye looked at Yang Xiaotao with a smile on his lips.

Soon, the strong smell of soup came from the Yang family. When the north wind blew, the Jia family downwind immediately smelled it.

Mrs. Jia Zhang suddenly got up from the bed and stared out of the window with triangular eyes. Qin Huairu's expression on the side was still stern.

"Don't look at it, there is no one else but the Yang family."

Leng You's voice came out of Qin Huairu's mouth. Jia Zhang glanced at it and silently walked back to the bed, waiting for dinner.

At this moment, Qin Huairu suddenly regretted taking the ring.

If not, maybe she can get rid of the Jia family.

And without the stick, maybe my life would be better.

At this moment, Qin Huairu also began to regard Banggan, Jia Zhang and even Xiaodang Xiaohuaihua as a burden.

And this idea is getting deeper and deeper.

Under the night, Ran Qiuye was lying in Yang Xiaotao's arms. On the other side of the small bed, Dragon Boat Festival had already eaten and slept.

"How many days are you gone?"

Ran Qiuye talked about what happened in the courtyard and learned that Banggen was sent to a labor camp for one year. Yang Xiaotao only felt that one year was too little. A guy with such crooked roots would not be able to manage it for ten or eight years.

As for the situation of the Jia family, it is basically asking for trouble. Everything is brought on by yourself, and there is no one to blame.

After saying this, even if it was exposed, Yang Xiaotao didn't want to hear these bullshit things, so he immediately changed the topic and talked about things in Quancheng, and gradually fell asleep.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao came to the steel rolling mill in the morning. He first went back to the office to deal with the matters during this period. Fortunately, Lou Xiao'e helped to sort them. After finishing the processing before noon, he went to the workshop for a walk.

He has also heard about the auto repair center. Each workshop is allocating personnel. When the people are available, the scale can be expanded. At the same time, work on other vehicle types can also be carried out.

Before eating, Yang Xiaotao came to the team station. Eleven heavy trucks were being repaired under the inspection of the driver. After all, they had traveled such a long distance and had to participate in the competition tomorrow, so they must be inspected carefully.

Liu Dehui and Yang Youning were together. After seeing Yang Xiaotao coming, the three of them got together to discuss the follow-up production work.

Regarding the auxiliary system, Quancheng Automobile Factory is temporarily closed to the public, and all the products produced are used in the products of the automobile factory.

Similarly, the steel rolling mill will try its best to postpone the opening of technology to allow the Quancheng Automobile Plant to ensure sufficient advantages.

In exchange, for the activity quota given to Quancheng Automobile Factory by superiors, ten truck quotas can be reserved for the steel rolling mill this year, and five quotas will be reserved next year.

Even if the steel rolling mill does not use so much, it can still be exchanged with other mills.

The automobile factory can also obtain technical support and benefits from the steel rolling mill. After all, if there is a quota, something must be exchanged.

The three of them talked for a while and reached a tacit understanding with each other.

After lunch, Liu Dehui left the steel rolling mill with eleven trucks and headed for the site arranged in the suburbs.

Yang Youning took Yang Xiaotao back to the office to discuss the auto repair center, and also confirmed that they and Chen Gong would also attend tomorrow.

For such things, Yang Xiaotao also wanted to see what the best truck manufacturer in the country looked like.

The next morning, when Yang Xiaotao arrived at the steel rolling mill, he was asked to get into the jeep and the three of them rushed to the outskirts of the city together.

After leaving Forty-Nine City, Yang Youning took out a sign and handed it to Yang Xiaotao. He looked at it and read the two words "VIP" on it, and the three words "passport" on the back.

After walking for more than half an hour, Yang Xiaotao saw smoke and dust puffing in front of him, and the sound became noisy.

The jeep was parked outside. Yang Youning and the other three got out, showed their IDs to the soldiers at the checkpoint, and then walked inside on foot.

Along the way, we encountered many armed patrols and security personnel, giving us a chilling atmosphere.

After walking for half an hour, we arrived at our destination.

Only then did Yang Xiaotao see clearly that this was a huge venue. Except for a row of tables on the hillside on the left, there were already people sitting down and holding binoculars.

There were seven or eight piles of trucks parked here and there below the hillside.

Various colors, styles, and brands are placed aside in batches.

In the middle is a large field with dirt slopes, puddles, and ditches, but most of it is flat dirt roads.

There is a vehicle at the moment

"Over there!"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly pointed to the sky blue car on the side. Yang Youning and the other two looked at it and then walked over there.

"Lao Yang, Lao Chen, Gong Yang, you are here."

Liu Dehui came forward with a kettle and greeted the three of them warmly.

"Old Liu, what's going on? There are a lot of people coming this time."

Chen Gong looked around and saw many vehicles participating in the bidding. This was not a good sign.

"Isn't that right? People from the north, those in the northeast, people from South China, Chang'an, and Shanghai are all here."

"Who knows what kind of medicine these guys took? Some of them are not even medium-sized trucks, so they came to join in the fun."

Liu Dehui complained, while Yang Youning looked at the trucks bringing up dust on the field and thought for a moment, "I guess they are all eyeing this fat piece of the army."

"If you are chosen by them, even just a little soup will be enough to feed their factory."

Hearing this, Liu Dehui looked helpless. The domestic market was only small, and the bulk of it was the army.

To put it bluntly, today’s rural areas cannot afford to own a car.

It is difficult to use oil alone.

This is also the reason why steam-powered tractors developed by steel rolling mills were imitated by various places.

Coal is cheaper than oil.

Several people were silent. At this time, another vehicle came off the field and began to adapt to the venue.

"Director Liu, why don't we take the car and try it?"

Liu Dehui looked to the side of the podium, which was almost full.

"The test cars are all drivers selected by the army. We came late and were last in line."

"Finally? How long does it take to start? Is it too late?"

Liu Dehui looked at his watch, "There are still twenty minutes."

"Isn't this quick? How about we go down and try it ourselves."

Yang Xiaotao suggested, and Liu Dehui shook his head, "No, in the past, people were recruited from the army."

"Did you say you wouldn't let it go?"

"This, there is no such thing."

"That's alright, let them show off their power down there, and we'll make a mess of it, Lao Yang, don't you think so?"

Yang Xiaotao encouraged Yang Youning, who glanced at him and then looked at Chen Gong, "Old Chen, what do you think?"

"What do you think? We are here just to watch the fun, how can it be fun if we don't do something?"

"Then do something."

Liu Dehui listened to the three people talking and wondered why the workers in the steel rolling mill were so tough?

Before Liu Dehui could speak, Yang Xiaotao had already opened the door and stepped into the driver's seat.

"No, are you coming?"

Liu Dehui held the car door, and Yang Youning and the others also felt that something was wrong.

"Don't worry, I'm familiar with this car."

Yang Xiaotao's eyes gleamed, and he looked at the venue with an indescribable heat.
