Scholars in the courtyard

Just before Director Jin got up and went out, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

With a frown, Director Jin walked to the table and picked up the phone.

Three minutes later, Director Jin looked serious and sat directly on the table.

Five minutes later, the call continues.

But Factory Director Jin already showed an impatient look, and he just wanted to give the other party a face and still listened patiently.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that Director Jin hummed twice and hung up the phone with a sneer on his face.

"The abacus is very good, but unfortunately, not everyone can be the best."

Turn around and leave the office.

The time soon arrived on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and most of the factories in Sijiu City were already on holiday.

The workers have been busy for a year and are ready to celebrate and reunite with their families.

As a result, everywhere in Sijiu City was full of festive atmosphere.

At this time, in the steel rolling mill and auto repair workshop, a Jiefang truck slowly left the workshop under the careful driving of the driver of the power plant.

Half an hour later, the driver came back with excitement on his face. When Niu Jun, who was accompanying the car, handed the test data to Yang Xiaotao, the other person's thumbs up immediately made the auto repair center burst into enthusiastic cheers.

This made Yang Youning on the side equally encouraged.

Then, this sound quickly spread in the 49 cities along with the good news that the Jiefang truck could be modified.

After receiving the news, several trucks from the power plant came immediately.

If it weren’t for the Chinese New Year tomorrow, there would probably be more.

The auto repair center seized the time to develop the auxiliary system, and multiple teams started working at the same time, racing against time to help modify the car.

In the evening, as the news spread, Director Jin also got the news at the Changchun Automobile Factory.

His face instantly became solemn.

For a long time, after understanding the development progress of the workshop, I slowly picked up the phone on the table.

Under the night, the lights in the auto repair shop of the steel rolling mill were still on.

As the last Jiefang truck was modified, Niu Jun and other workers finally put down their tools and smiled happily.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the time and saw that it was already half past eleven in the middle of the night.

This year is a small year, the 29th New Year's Eve, so in one day, it will be the New Year.

The year Jiachen of the lunar calendar is the Year of the Dragon.

"Xiaopeng. Have you made arrangements?"

Yang Xiaotao handed over to Zhou Peng for questioning.

"Brother Tao, it's agreed that Master Zhang from the kitchen knows how busy we are, so he stayed here to make midnight snacks for us."

"good!"

Yang Xiaotao clapped his hands and everyone looked over. There were only about ten people present.

"Everyone wash your hands. I asked the cafeteria to prepare food. Let's go back after eating."

Everyone cheered. Many people had heard of Yang Xiaotao's generosity. He was arranging midnight snacks in the middle of the night. Others would not be so thoughtful.

Soon, about ten people came to the second canteen. Zhang Qingjun was standing in front of the rice bowl, cooking pork stewed with cabbage and Erhe noodle steamed buns.

"Brother Zhang, thank you for your hard work."

Yang Xiaotao walked up to him and was polite, but Zhang Qingjun waved his hand.

"You are out of sight when you say this. Come sit down and eat."

"Let's eat together."

Yang Xiaotao pulled Zhang Qingjun down to the table and started to prepare the meal himself.

Soon, everyone at the table was eating and chatting with their lunch boxes.

Yang Xiaotao sat in the middle, chatting and laughing, and could say a few words to everyone.

"Pengzi, are you ready for the wedding? When did you get the certificate?"

"Okay. I got it on the New Year's Day. There will be a banquet on the 29th of the New Year, and everyone will come to drink the wedding wine."

"That's necessary. We need to see the bride."

"Needless to say, it must be beautiful."

Zhou Peng smiled proudly, and the workers on the side asked where he came from. When he found out that it was a female worker from a textile factory, he was even more amazed, and then asked about the secret of his success.

Zhou Peng raised his head with a confident smile on his face.

"Of course it's the beauty and talent! Otherwise, why would the textile factory be so picky and willing to be his wife?"

"cut!"

Everyone laughed, and Yang Xiaotao revealed how he chased his wife, making everyone laugh even more.

"Hey, don't just laugh. If you're looking for a wife, you have to be like him. Shameless, stalking, and working hard."

"Especially those of you who don't have a family. If you study more, you might be able to find a girl from a textile factory."

When Yang Xiaotao said this, two or three single guys immediately stared. Their status as workers in the steel rolling mill was worthy of being a female worker in the textile factory.

"Brother Peng, you can't hide your secrets. My brother's happiness depends on you!"

Zhou Peng patted his chest, "No problem, just remember to bring more red envelopes."

"cut!"

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao glanced at exactly twelve o'clock.

After leaving the factory gate and saying hello to the comrades in the security department, Yang Xiaotao rode his bicycle directly to the courtyard.

As for the jeep, put it in the alley. There are many naughty children during the Chinese New Year, so you might want to set off a firecracker.

Riding a bicycle all the way, we soon arrived at the courtyard house.

The door is not closed.

Since Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong stepped down and left the courtyard, Yan Fugui, as the only uncle in the courtyard, canceled the locking of the door in order to build up the reputation of the courtyard.

He walked gently into the middle courtyard, and just after passing the hanging flower gate, he saw Wangcai raising his head from his nest, and then a green light flew over and landed on Yang Xiaotao's chest.

Communicate with Xiaowei and find out what’s going on in the yard.

Then he put the car away, entered the door, quietly took off his coat, and lay down on the bed.

Ran Qiuye turned his back to Yang Xiaotao and breathed evenly.

Yang Xiaotao hugged her from behind, yawned and fell asleep slowly.

When I woke up the next morning, I heard the sound of firecrackers outside the yard, and a group of children went out to set off firecrackers.

Yang Xiaotao opened his eyes, and Ran Qiuye in his arms also woke up.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao being held in his arms, with his palms still covering his swollen belly, Ran Qiuye remembered that there were still people at home after all.

Yang Xiaotao saw it, stretched out his hand to help him get up, and then helped him get dressed.

squeak~

There was a sound at the hall door, and the footsteps belonged to the grandpa, and then the voice came, and it was Ran's mother.

The two of them got up early and were preparing breakfast.

Yang Xiaotao finished braiding Ran Qiuye's hair, and then the two of them went out.

On the other side, sister and brother Ran Xinrui also got up, got dressed and went to play in the yard.

After the family had breakfast, Yang Xiaotao was responsible for the sanitation of the yard, Ran's mother cleaned the house, Mr. Yang was responsible for looking after the children, and Ran Qiuye was responsible for resting.

After cleaning up the yard, Yang Xiaotao gathered with the people in the yard to chat, and then took Ran Qiuye out to visit.

There are many old relatives and friends around, and the time after the new year is short, so I took advantage of the new year to walk around.

The two of them did not take their children with them, and Yang Xiaotao took Ran Qiuye through the streets.

There are lively people all around, and the joy of the festival makes the atmosphere even more intense. The sound of firecrackers is crisp and clear amid the laughter of the children, exploding everything in sight.

Pedestrians passing by are sometimes startled, and then face the naughty children with a straight face. The children are not afraid, they just make a face and run away.

Ran Qiuye was wrapped in a scarf, and Yang Xiaotao put a military cap on his head. His big ears were pulled down and wrapped tightly.

Not long after, Yang Xiaotao arrived at the home of the old principal of Hongxing Primary School, carrying two bags of tea.

The old man was in good spirits, but he didn't expect Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye to come, so he was very sad when he spoke.

He even talked about Ran Qiuye's situation in school, which made Ran Qiuye's eyes turn red.

Then he changed the topic and asked about Yangjiazhuang Primary School. He was very relieved to hear that the school was successful, and he was even more impressed when he heard that enrollment would be expanded after the new year.

I strongly agree that Yangjiazhuang values ​​education.

Yang Xiaotao mentioned that the graduating children had to take the exam and wanted help from the old principal. The old principal also agreed. As long as the student status is accurate and they can pass the exam, there will be no problem for him to talk to the Ministry of Education.

The visitor sat for a while, declined lunch, and then left.

The car started off again, riding slowly, with two bottles of wine and a pile of pastries hanging in front of it, and wandered to Director Wang's house.

The arrival of the two people was beyond Director Wang's expectation, and he was obviously startled after opening the door.

But he quickly reacted and quickly let people in. He even asked Xiaohu to call Li Tiejun. He took Ran Qiuye and sat aside, happily asking this and that.

"Aunt Wang, Uncle Li is still busy."

"Well, there is a lot of electricity consumption during the Chinese New Year, so the people at the power supply station have to be on duty at this time of year."

"That's really busy."

"If we don't talk about him anymore, when will you come home?"

Director Wang looked at Ran Qiuye and felt very happy.

Yang Xiaotao's status rose step by step, which she witnessed with her own eyes.

This is a real skill. To put it bluntly, the success of the steel rolling mill today is due to Yang Xiaotao.

If Yang Xiaotao went to another factory, the effect would not be worse than that of the steel rolling mill.

At such a young age, he became the deputy director of the steel rolling mill, and his future achievements will be immeasurable.

"The old party secretary is here? Then I have to go and have a look."

Director Wang was pleasantly surprised when he learned that Mr. Yang had moved here.

A few people were talking, and after a while, Li Tiejun returned home on his bicycle, "I heard you were coming, so I borrowed a bicycle and came back to lie down first."

"Uncle Li, are you still on duty?"

"Yes, it's fine during the day. Several people take turns, but they all have to be there at night!"

…

After talking for a while, Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye looked at each other, then stood up and prepared to leave.

Director Wang didn't leave the two of them to eat, so he got up and sent them out.

After the two people left, Li Tiejun took a deep breath.

"You are young but you are experienced in doing things, you are talented but you are not arrogant or arrogant."

"It's amazing that you recognize this relative."

Director Wang smiled and said, "So, can my eyes still make mistakes?"

Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye left Wang's house. Yang Xiaotao took them to the supply and marketing cooperative again. It was crowded during the Chinese New Year. Yang Xiaotao asked Ran Qiuye to wait outside. He went in and came out after a while, carrying a large bag of pork and rice noodles. .

"So fast?"

Ran Qiuye was surprised that there were so many people.

Yang Xiaotao smiled. He found a place where no one was and took out the things prepared by the space.

There are no cameras these days, so we are not afraid of being discovered.

"I met an acquaintance and jumped in line!"

Yang Xiaotao said, hanging the things on the frame and handlebars.

"where are we going?"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao buying so many things, Ran Qiuye was a little strange.

"Go meet a group of heroes."

The car drove through the alley and soon came to a large courtyard.

Yang Xiaotao supported Ran Qiuye and walked towards the yard with something in his hand.

The yard was very clean, some children were running around, and people sunbathing could be seen from time to time, but these people were all somewhat disabled.

Ran Qiuye understood where Yang Xiaotao was!

People in the surrounding courtyard looked at the two people, many of them were curious.

It wasn't until a worker from the steel rolling mill saw Yang Xiaotao and stepped forward to welcome him that no one in the courtyard knew what was going on.

Two people came out of the room in the middle courtyard.

Yang Xiaotao saw a familiar figure and hurried forward.

"Platoon Leader Du, Doctor Li."

"Director Yang."

Platoon Leader Du heard Yang Xiaotao's voice and grinned, but his eyes were covered with black cloth and he stretched his hand forward.

Yang Xiaotao put down the things and reached out to hold them.

"Director Yang, why are you here?"

"It's Chinese New Year, come and see, brothers."

Platoon leader Du nodded, while Dr. Li on the side received Ran Qiuye. Behind him were the steel rolling mill workers who came after hearing the news. A group of people helped to get things and surrounded the two people into the room.

Sitting next to Platoon Leader Du, I looked at his face. Although he was thin, he was in good spirits. Especially when he spoke, he was more easy-going, like untying a knot in his heart.

Yang Xiaotao took the initiative to ask about the New Year celebrations.

Platoon Leader Du smiled and said that everything was well arranged, the people in the courtyard were helping, and there were people taking care of him in daily life, which was good.
