Scholars in the courtyard

Yang Xiaotao's series of inquiries gave Xu Yuanshan the illusion that Yang Xiaotao understood chemistry.

In fact, these things Yang Xiaotao said were all knowledge learned in previous lives.

As for what can stay in the brain, most of it is at the level of electrolytic sodium chloride.

As for the periodic table of elements, I just memorized calcium and forgotten the rest.

If you want to learn chemistry, you can either go to school to recharge your skills and recharge in the library, or you can wait for the sub-skills to be unlocked and master chemistry, and then click on it step by step.

The reason why Xu Yuanshan thinks this way is purely due to the torture of these days.

Chemical plants need to develop, and talents are essential.

But now there are not many chemical talents in the country, and the few masters are in several large factories in Shanghai and Jinling. Their chemical factories in the Forty-Nine Cities started late, and if the country wants to support them, they need someone to support them.

There is no other way, he can only find a way to find talents by himself.

For this reason, he often goes to universities to recruit talents.

But the effect is so-so.

As for the development of chemical plants, it is also a headache.

If you want to develop, you must have a product, and a product that can be recognized.

But now, there is really not much domestic demand for these products.

They cannot boost domestic demand and no one uses what they produce, so why do they do it?

"Uncle, the greenhouses made abroad use plastic film, and this plastic film is polyvinyl chloride. Your chemical factory can make it."

"There are also chemical fertilizers, which are good for the land. Things like ammonium carbonate and urea are all useful."

Xu Yuanshan frowned after hearing this. He knew about greenhouses and chemical fertilizers, but these two technologies were not available in chemical plants.

"Our technology is not up to par with this thing."

"You can learn if your skills are not up to standard. The books in the library have information on this, and you can list chemical fertilizers separately. Chemical fertilizers will be indispensable for agricultural production in the future. Especially with the emergence of high-yielding crops, the requirements for fertilizers and soil are increasing. high."

“The land cultivated by farmers has high yields, and only then can we have the confidence to start working in other industries.”

"As for the greenhouses, you can cooperate with the local government. They provide plastic films, and you can have priority in purchasing and using the agricultural products produced. You can achieve multiple benefits with one stone."

Yang Xiaotao was a little excited when he said that if the greenhouse is built and Xiaowei is here, he can also eat grapes and strawberries in winter.

Xu Yuanshan was also tickled by what Yang Xiaotao said, "By the way, doesn't your Yangjiazhuang have contact with the Ministry of Agriculture? Since you said it, you can help ask about this matter."

"This is easy. I'll talk to the farm later. When the time comes, we'll build two greenhouses first to solve the vegetable problem in winter."

"Okay, I'll have someone study the plastic film later."

The two of them were talking to each other, but Xu Peng on the side couldn't keep up. Wasn't it about the chemical plant?

Just now, he was thinking about whether the chemical formula in the textbook could help his father, but in the blink of an eye, he said that plastic film was planted on the ground, and he couldn't keep up with his thinking. Then he heard the two of them talking about the pressure cooker.

Xu Peng gave up completely and didn't want to show off. He honestly picked up the teapot and poured water for the two of them.

Yang Xiaotao and Xu Yuanshan talked for a while, and the meal was already prepared at home, and several people gathered around the table to prepare it.

Mr. Yang and Mr. Xu sat together, with smiles on their faces from time to time.

"Brother, this is the second eldest son of my family. The eldest son is in the north, so he is by my side."

Mr. Xu introduced Xu Yuanshan at the dinner table. The latter picked up the wine glass and the two clinked.

"I've seen them before. I saw them last time at Xiao Tao's house. They're all good. The country needs you like this."

"This is my grandson, Xiaopeng, call him grandpa."

Xu Peng quickly stood up, and his sister Xu Li also stood up obediently, "Hello, Grandpa Yang."

"Hey, okay, they are all good children. When they grow up, they will be educated people! They must be promising and continue to contribute to the country."

"yes!"

"I won't introduce you to my family. They have known each other personally for a long time, and I have even benefited from him."

"Ha ha"

Mr. Yang pointed proudly at Yang Xiaotao, and then looked at Mrs. Xu Yuanshan who was busy at the side, "My dear, stop working. Your father and I are not outsiders. It's just a family affair to sit down together."

Mr. Xu also nodded, "Second daughter-in-law, please sit together."

"Okay, Dad!"

Sitting down at the table, Mr. Xu was filled with emotion, "Lao Chen came here last time and made me laugh so hard."

"Haha, that guy also came to find me and stayed there for one night. You don't know, he cried when he left."

"Hey, old brothers, they wouldn't be envious if they knew the life we ​​are living now."

As Mr. Xu said, Mr. Yang's eyes were slightly red. Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao quickly stopped the conversation, "Sir, Mr., you don't know, last time I went to the northwest, I met a horse bandit. That guy was so ruthless, he bit the flesh with his gun. "

When Yang Xiaotao talked about things in the northwest, it was probably the war that aroused the interest of the two old men.

"Where are you from? You guys have never seen a real war."

Before Yang Xiaotao could finish speaking, Mr. Xu commented with a smile, "Brother, you didn't tell him?"

He looked at Mr. Yang again.

Mr. Yang shook his head, and Mr. Xu became interested, "Come on, let me tell you a story about the war."

"Our time was, in the spring of 1941, about the river mussel scene..."

Mr. Yang narrowed his eyes and then nodded.

The old man spoke slowly, and when he got to the exciting point, he picked up the glass and drank it. Xu Yuanshan was so frightened that he didn't dare to add more wine, so he could only drink tea.

During this meal, both the grandfather and the old man were drunk, and in the end Yang Xiaotao carried the grandfather and put him in the car.

"Uncle Xu, I'm leaving."

"Okay. Drive slowly and be careful on the road."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, sat in the car, and started slowly.

The car was smooth, and Mr. Yang, who was lying in the back seat, was already snoring.

Yang Xiaotao took a look and vaguely understood the purpose of Mr. Yang's coming here.

For the first time, I left Yangjiazhuang and came to Sijiu City to celebrate the New Year. I have met Director Wang these days and come here again. The motivation is self-evident.

Connections!

Mr. Yang wanted to bring his connections closer and then use them on Yang Xiaotao.

Maybe the old man can see far, or maybe he knows that it's not cold at high places, so he prepares in advance.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t come to Xu’s house just to reminisce about old times?

‘Could it be that Teacher Hong told him? still? ’

Yang Xiaotao thought about it mentally, and he couldn't make up his mind either.

What role should we play in the coming storm?

After the car left the military hospital, Xu Yuanshan and Xu Peng helped the old man back to the room. Just as he was about to help the old man lie down, the old man waved his hand. How could he look like he was drunk just now?

Seeing this, Xu Yuanshan knew that his father had something to confess.

Xu Peng also stood aside and listened quietly.

"Yang Yao is not a good person today."

Xu Yuanshan frowned and didn't understand what it meant.

The old man looked at Xu Peng.

"You are not young anymore. After the Chinese New Year, you will go to the army to gain experience."

Xu Peng was shocked. He had done well in school in Sijiu City, but going to the company was not a hardship for ordinary people.

Especially those from the big courtyard, when they join the army, they are required to lead by example and are even treated with priority. They are more demanding than ordinary soldiers.

"Grandpa, I still go to school."

"Then go to the army and learn."

The old man's voice was firm, Xu Peng pursed his lips and did not dare to speak.

Xu Yuanshan and his wife on the side also remained silent.

In this family, the old man's words are orders and cannot be refuted.

And facts have proved that the old man's decisions on major matters are all correct.

This may be the intuition before the crisis.

Mr. Xu glanced at Xu Yuanshan and sighed, "I understand Yang Yao. If there was nothing wrong, he would not come to my place. He! He is so proud."

"Also, Yang Xiaotao is a capable person. Last time I came here, I felt that if this person had been born twenty years earlier, he would definitely be a figure."

"Didn't you notice the murderous aura in him?"

"It was left after rolling around on the battlefield. This kid looks gentle, but he is actually a ruthless character. If you deal with him in the future, remember, you can only use soft, not hard."

Xu Yuanshan nodded after hearing this.

"Let's talk to the boss about what happened today. Also, let Xiaolong stay there with peace of mind. What's wrong with the cold spot? Now that we have hot meals, don't keep thinking about coming."

"There is also Xiaohu, who is acting out of tune day by day. If he does this again, I will whip him with the barrel of a gun~~"

After chattering, everyone left the house until the old man lay down.

Finally, Xu Yuanshan walked to the study and sat quietly alone.

Write down the things you communicated with Yang Xiaotao today, wait for the start of work, and go back to discuss with the people in the technical department.

If it is really useful, it can be regarded as opening up a new path.

Back home, Yang Xiaotao carried his grandfather on his back and went into the house to rest. Ran Qiuye saw it and complained to the side that Mr. Yang still drank so much in his old age. Yang Xiaotao smiled bitterly at the side. Isn't it normal for these old brothers to drink too much when they meet together? ?

After settling the old man, Yang Xiaotao took advantage of his free time to visit other leaders of the steel rolling mill.

Everyone sits down to express their feelings.

We returned to the courtyard before dinner.

The next day, the third day of junior high school.

Yang Xiaotao sent his grandfather back to Yangjiazhuang, then followed Yang Dazhuang and the others, holding yellow paper firecrackers, went to the forest to burn the paper and set off the whips, and then followed everyone back to the village.

After paying New Year's greetings in the village again, we drove the jeep to Sijiu City.

He drove a lot these days and traveled a lot. Fortunately, Yang Xiaotao stored a lot of gasoline in the space and didn't go to the steel rolling mill to ask for gas.

In addition, Yang Xiaotao is proficient in repairing small cars, and he can fix minor problems with the car by himself.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the steel rolling mill goes to work.

Ran's mother returned to the courtyard, and Ran Qiuye prepared to visit Yangjiazhuang when the weather warmed up. After all, there were still several months before the due date. She had heard that the school was going to expand enrollment, so how could she still stay at home?

If school hadn't started yet, I would have gone back long ago.

Yang Xiaotao didn't care about this. Little Dragon Boat Festival was more valuable to Mr. Yang than his own, and He Kuan had more wealth to follow.

Just thinking about the possibility of influenza in spring, Yang Xiaotao still put the children's medicine prepared in advance in the medicine box and took it with him when he returned to the village.

"Happy New Year, Director Yang."

"Happy New Year, happy New Year."

Outside the office, Yang Xiaotao was carrying a bag of melon seeds. Whenever he passed by the department, he would go in and put down two handfuls, and everyone he met would greet him warmly.

When I walked into the office, I saw Lou Xiaoe wearing a brand new work clothes, a blue hat on her head, and her hair had been trimmed to just below her ears. She looked a bit like a tomboy.

Of course, this is just a look.

"Happy New Year, Comrade Lou Xiao'e."

Yang Xiaotao glanced under his chin, quickly turned his eyes away, and handed the melon seeds forward.

Lou Xiao'e narrowed her eyes and smiled, showing a forced smile, "Happy New Year, director."

As a result, Yang Xiaotao took the whole bag of melon seeds and was stunned. He still wanted to eat them.

"By the way, Qiuye asked you to have dinner at home tonight, don't forget it."

Yang Xiaotao said something, then came out of the office, walked around other rooms, and finally headed to the workshop.

Especially the auto repair center. When I came here this morning, there were already trucks parked on the roadside, waiting for modifications.

I communicated with Xu Yuanshan when I was in the second grade of junior high school. They had a few Jiefang vehicles in their chemical plant, and they wanted to modify them before they thaw. Otherwise, when the weather gets warmer, the factory will be busy, and the roads are muddy, making it difficult for the cars to drive.

Just as Yang Xiaotao was shuttled between workshops, a jeep stopped outside the steel rolling mill. Liu Huaimin got out of the car and then walked towards the factory director's office in the right direction.
