Scholars in the courtyard

As Yang Youning finished speaking, the eleven workshop directors below looked at each other, and then walked onto the rostrum under the leadership of Sun Guo.

Sun Guoxiang, Yang Youning and others nodded, and then took the microphone, "This time in my workshop of the steel rolling mill, I selected an outstanding group as Wang Li's team. In last year's work, the team leader Wang Li."

There was a sudden burst of cheers in the workshop below, and seven or eight people were seen surrounding a middle-aged man, constantly excited.

As Sun Guo finished speaking, Zhan Lei, the director of the second workshop, stepped forward and named the outstanding groups in his workshop.

Then one by one the directors finished speaking. When it was Wang Fa's turn, as the newly promoted director, his voice changed a bit.

"The outstanding group in our workshop is Xing Jiaqi's group."

In the 11th workshop, Xing Jiaqi and Li Nan hugged each other, and a group of people gathered around them, touching each other's heads.

Their team is responsible for the core part of the tractor, the steam engine. Not only can it keep up with the production speed, but it is also the team with the best quality control. It is obvious to all that the workers in the 11th workshop have no objection to this.

Just when everyone thought it was over, after all, it was like this every year, and outstanding groups were only selected in the workshop, but unexpectedly, someone else came on stage.

Everyone looked around and saw that the leader was Zhang Guanyu from the R\u0026D Department, followed by the Logistics Director and the Canteen Director.

Facing the gazes of everyone below, Zhang Guanyu breathed a little quickly. He walked to the microphone and read out the lines he had memorized hundreds of times in his heart, word for word.

"The outstanding collective in our R\u0026D department is the technical team."

OK~~~

bang bang bang

As Zhang Guanyu finished speaking, Liu Daming and Liu Yizui winked at Hou Baobao on the side, and both of them laughed.

Then the logistics director said that the warehouse group was an outstanding group. When it was the canteen director's turn to come forward and announce it, everyone already had a candidate in mind.

After all, the biggest change in the canteen this year is the rise of the Second Canteen. Now the Second Canteen not only cooks delicious food, but also never turns the spoon. In addition, the people in the kitchen are friendly and will help anyone who wants to help.

Privately, the people in the second cafeteria take care of life and death, and that is just friendly help, which is much better than Sha Zhu's half-doing and half-getting style.

"The chefs in the second canteen are an excellent collective."

Following the announcement from the canteen director, Zhang Qingjun and his wife hugged each other in the crowd, and then the chefs around him jumped up with joy.

On the contrary, the kitchen staff in the cafeteria nearby were all taking their meals, and even Liu Lan, who was the most arrogant, swallowed his saliva unwillingly.

This canteen is nothing without Silly Pillars.

As the announcement ended, each outstanding group sent representatives to the stage to accept the honor.

Each group will get a small flag embroidered with the advanced group, with big yellow characters on the red background. Everyone holds it in front of their chest. Wang Hao, who is in charge of taking pictures, holds the camera and leaves a mark with a click.

At the same time, each group member will receive a bed sheet and two pillow covers, with a reward of five yuan.

"Now, I will announce the list of outstanding employees at the first level of our factory."

Yang Youning stood up and read out immediately.

As a result, the meetings were carried out one by one, and every worker who received the honor gained a lot, not only with certificates of honor, but also with various prizes.

The larger ones include thermoses, flashlights, enamel basins, and military kettles; the smaller ones include pillow covers, towels, enamel jars, as well as various bonuses and industrial coupons.

Gifts were distributed one after another, which not only amazed the award-winning personnel, but also made the people watching below feel jealous.

This year's steel rolling mills are really too wealthy.

The steel rolling mill here is holding this exciting award ceremony, and from time to time there is a loud sound that shakes the world, surprising several factories next door.

On the other side, in the hospital, Xu's mother accompanied Qin Jingru and was also waiting for the results.

Qin Jingru was not nervous when she was sitting on the bench. Anyway, she had already checked it last time, so she didn't panic because she had something in her belly.

Mother Xu on the side was wringing her hands nervously, feeling a little panicked.

Ever since Xu Damao mentioned to her about coming to the hospital for a check-up, she had been worried. Fortunately, she came here in person this time so she could see what happened.

"Mom, the results are out."

Just when Xu's mother was lost in thought, Qin Jingru saw the nurse coming out and quickly stepped forward to take the test sheet, then glanced at it and handed it to Xu's mother.

Xu’s mother didn’t know much about literacy, but she still recognized the word ‘pregnancy’, and her face suddenly melted, like a blooming chrysanthemum.

"Okay, Damao has a baby, and our family has a baby too. That's good."

Then he looked at her pretendingly, "Jingru, how is the child?"

Looking at a series of numbers, Xu's mother asked tentatively.

"The nurse said that all the indicators are pretty good, but he is a little anemic. He just needs to take more supplements."

This is what Qin Jingru heard from the people in the yard. Anyway, Xu’s mother didn’t know whether it was true or not.

"It's okay. I'll buy a chicken when I get back. Let's make up for it first. We can't miss out on our eldest grandson's ration."

"Hey, that's good."

Hearing that Xu's mother wanted to buy chickens, Qin Jingru immediately became friendly and even held Xu's arm in an extremely intimate manner.

Xu's mother put the laboratory test sheet in her pocket. She wanted to show it to Xu Damao when he came back to save her from worrying all day long.

If you have children, you should calm down and think about your children.

Xu's mother thought as the two walked outside the hospital.

Branch factory

When the steel rolling mill held an incentive meeting, it was also held at the branch factory.

However, there are not many people here, and the rewards are all distributed by the Steel Rolling Plant.

Even so, the workers here are excited. This is the first time that the main factory has distributed benefits, which is much better than other factories around it.

Silly Zhu and Yi Zhonghai stood together, and this matter had nothing to do with them.

Yi Zhonghai was directly expelled from the factory, and now he is a prisoner in a labor camp. Although Si Zhu was not expelled, he was even worse. His labor camp time was doubled, and he still doesn’t know what the world will be like after he gets out.

Neither of them has the right to enjoy welfare, but they really don't care about this thing.

"Master, I will go out to prepare a banquet tomorrow. What do you want to bring?"

Silly Zhu whispered, logically speaking, he could not go out during the labor reform period, but Silly Zhu got through the doorman, and the place he obtained was around the branch factory. According to Silly Zhu’s words, the residential area around the branch factory also belonged to the branch factory, so it was Within the scope of the branch factory, it is not considered a mistake.

"Just bring whatever you want."

Yi Zhonghai squatted on the ground and looked at the applause and people surrounding him in front of him, feeling quite emotional.

In the past, he was also the one who enjoyed this honor.

But now, he is not even a worker.

It would be great if there was no such thing as a deaf old lady.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"By the way, Zhuzi, don't take too much when you go out this time like before. Things are more valuable here than in the city. If you take too much, you will be disliked easily."

Yi Zhonghai instructed and Silly Zhu nodded.

"Master, don't worry. I, Silly Zhu, am the one who robs the rich and gives to the poor. I rob the rich executives and children to give to our poor families. You don't need to remind me about this."

"As long as you know."

When the two said this, Xu Damao's face was tangled on the other side.

Today, his mother took her daughter-in-law for a check-up.

Unfortunately, he didn't find out until he got home.

Looking up at the sky, Xu Damao just wanted the sun to set quickly so that he could confirm whether he really became a father.

At noon, the meeting at the steel rolling mill dispersed, but the workers at the meeting did not go home. Instead, they returned to their respective posts to prepare for the arrival of new work clothes.

The workers were not disappointed. The chief section chiefs and others brought back the clothes that had been counted by the logistics department.

At this time, there are not so many sizes for clothes. Basically, it depends on your head. If you are big, you will get bigger, and if you are short, you will get smaller. As for whether it fits or not, you will know it yourself.

People are generally thin these days, so it doesn't matter if they are bigger.

Some people even particularly like the big ones because they have more fabric and can be turned into smaller clothes in the future without cutting them.

As for shoes, you can’t mess with them.

After all, it’s not comfortable to wear on your feet and you can’t walk well.

After working for most of the afternoon, I finally finished handing out shoes and clothes. Tomorrow, New Year's Day, the steel rolling mill will have a day off, allowing workers to rest and relieve their tense nerves.

In Yang Xiaotao's office.

Lou Xiao'e looked at the welfare brought back by Yang Xiaotao with surprise in her eyes.

The same is true for Yang Xiaotao. He didn't expect that the deputy director would have so many benefits.

First, the work clothes, but the work clothes of the deputy director are not ordinary blue work clothes, but two sets of Chinese tunic suits, one thin and one thick. The shoes are also leather shoes, one pair for summer and winter.

In addition, there is a beige cotton scarf that is one foot wide and one meter long, a pair of gloves, and many other small things.

As for the basins and jars, we were not given anything, but we were given a quilt, a bright red quilt cover that looked like it weighed more than ten kilograms of cotton, and finally sheets and towels.

"Whatever you like, take it and use it."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Lou Xiao'e. There was nothing about Lou Xiao'e in this commendation meeting.

It wasn't that Yang Xiaotao didn't apply for her, but that Yang Youning rejected her.

Although what happened last time was reversed in the end, it still gave him a wake-up call.

Not only did he reject Yang Xiaotao's request, he also warned Yang Xiaotao to stay less involved in the Lou family's affairs.

Yang Xiaotao could only passively accept Yang Youning's love and care.

"real?"

Lou Xiao'e smiled, and she also knew that the reason why she was absent this time must be related to the previous disturbances, but she cared more about Yang Xiaotao's attitude than the factory's rewards.

As long as Yang Xiaotao treats her the same as before.

"I've taken a fancy to these pillow covers, you won't be reluctant to part with them, right?"

"That's it, and the basin and the jar." Yang Xiaotao said nonchalantly, "Do you want a towel?"

"want!"

Lou Xiao'e was not polite and took whatever Yang Xiaotao gave her.

At the same time, my heart also relaxed.

After a while, Lou Xiao'e brought a basin and placed it on her desk, while Yang Xiaotao took the rest and left the office.

After putting them on the jeep, Yang Xiaotao drove back to the courtyard.

Then he sent Ran's mother and two children home first, and then came back to eat and rest with Ran Qiuye.

I have to go back to Yangjiazhuang tomorrow and I need to take some things with me.

In the middle of the night, Xu Damao couldn't wait to run back to the courtyard. Xu's mother, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Xu Damao in her room, for fear of disturbing Qin Jingru's sleep.

"Look, you are still thinking blindly. You should be more careful in the future."

Xu's mother handed the test sheet to Xu Damao, and then looked at it anxiously.

"Really, haha, really!"

Xu Damao smiled and ran into the house to protect the sleeping Qin Jingru carefully. He was afraid of waking her up, but he wanted to kiss her twice.

The next day, Xu Damao ran to the branch factory with excitement and red eyes.

At the door, Sha Zhu was sitting with Yi Zhonghai eating.

"Shazhu, come here, let me show you something."

From afar, Xu Damao started shouting.

Silly Zhu frowned and swallowed the dough. He had something to do today and was too lazy to pay attention.

But Xu Damao still came closer.

"look!"

A list appeared in front of Sha Zhu, which made Sha Zhu impatient.

"You stupid Silly Mao, if you want to be beaten, just wait. I don't have time to talk to you today."

Xu Damao didn't mind either. In his opinion, this was just a slap in the face and pretending to be fat!

"Silly Zhu, didn't you fucking say that I don't have a son? Look, my wife is pregnant, it's written in black and white, every word!"

Xu Damao slapped the report sheet, looking proud.

Silly Zhu was stunned and understood that the one he saw last time was not pregnant.

Could it be that Xu Damao was deceived again?

Then he grabbed the test sheet. This time, it was clear on it.

For a moment, Shazhu was stunned.

"How about it, I have nothing to say this time."

Xu Damao smiled, but Sha Zhu didn't listen.

If it wasn't there last time, why is it there this time?

In the middle, what happened in the middle?

happened…

For a moment, Shazhu trembled all over and understood what was going on.
