Scholars in the courtyard

During lunch, Yang Xiaotao and Chen Gong sat together and talked about today's incident.

Chen Gong smiled and explained that now only their steel rolling mill has pressure cooker tickets due to production, and other places simply cannot get them.

As for the reason, there is no need to think about the current export sales. Even the domestic Youyi brand pressure cookers are given priority to be supplied to border areas. If others want it, they can only go the route of the steel rolling mill.

"No wonder, these calls come one after another."

"But they don't know that we only have ten tickets."

Chen Gong smiled helplessly, "Who says it's not the case?"

"I used to envy bicycle factories. If they produce bicycles, they will definitely have a surplus."

"But now it seems that what outsiders see is always the beautiful side! Alas!"

You know your own situation.

After Yang Xiaotao listened, he also lowered his head.

Fortunately, his family had prepared two pressure cookers, which were enough for the time being.

After the two finished eating, Yang Xiaotao did not return to the office, but came to the workshop to check the progress.

When the workers in the workshop learned that this was a task assigned by Yang Xiaotao, they gave up their rest time and worked overtime. Finally, most of the components were completed before leaving get off work.

Before leaving get off work, Yang Xiaotao checked, asked the people in the security department to pay attention, and then prepared to get off work.

When he walked out of the office building, he happened to meet Yang Youning coming back. He had been hiding in the workshop all afternoon, and now he came back to pack his things after getting off work.

"Xiao Tao, I happened to meet you. I have something to ask you."

Wandering around the workshop this afternoon, Yang Youning heard that Yang Xiaotao had someone process a new pressure cooker.

Although this matter was left to Yang Xiaotao, he was still mentally disturbed every time he mentioned the pressure cooker.

I'm afraid that on that day when an order is issued from above, the people and the workers will be transferred away, and the steel rolling mill will suffer a big loss.

Yang Xiaotao was stopped by Yang Youning and was also curious, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that you asked the people below to start making a new pot?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Well, I designed one last night, but it can only be used for simple heating and cooking. We have to wait and see how it will turn out."

Designed in one night?

Yang Youning complained in his heart. Yesterday he said not to rush, take your time, there is plenty of time.

As a result, they did it in one day and one night.

From now on, I will never say this again. This guy is an existence that cannot be explained by common sense.

"I thought you said it was powered by electricity?"

Yang Youning held back his excitement, looked at Yang Xiaotao and nodded affirmatively, and then solemnly asked, "Tell me carefully."

Yang Xiaotao looked around and saw that many workers were getting off work. But when Yang Youning asked, he couldn't resist, so he explained the simple working principle of the electric pressure cooker.

"So, it's better than the original one?"

"It's not necessarily better, but using electric furnaces for heating is easier for foreign countries with convenient electricity access."

"Yes, yes, you said last time, indeed, the electricity consumption is incomparable between domestic and foreign countries, so, so."

Yang Youning clasped his hands together and stared at Yang Xiaotao, "So, if this one is made, it will not only solve the fuel problem, but it will also be an improvement, right."

Yang Xiaotao understood what Yang Youning meant.

Just make this pot and report it to the superiors, showing that their steel rolling mill has the ability to solve problems and develop better products, so that those who are making up their minds will consider it carefully. If they can't compare with the steel rolling mill, don't worry about it.

"Yes, I think the use of electricity is inevitable in the future. Sooner or later, electricity will be popularized in our country. By then the technology will be mature and people's living standards will also need to be improved. Using voltage cookers will be a trend."

Yang Xiaotao expressed his opinion, and Yang Youning smiled even more.

"But, director, you have to be mentally prepared."

Yang Xiaotao changed the topic and started talking about the shortcomings of electric pressure cookers.

"This electric cooker itself has disadvantages, such as the inability to cut off power at high temperatures and high voltage, which poses a huge safety hazard. Moreover, the materials used are two to three times higher than those of ordinary pressure cookers. If we produce it, we probably won't be able to sell it. go out."

Yang Xiaotao was worried, but Yang Youning didn't take it seriously.

"You are just overthinking it. If you push it out in such a hurry, what will others think?"

"Oh, you're still giving us coal to burn when you obviously have better ones. Who are you looking down on?"

"Am I right."

Yang Xiaotao was stunned. He didn't expect this. He just wanted to quickly build an electric pressure cooker to earn more foreign exchange.

"Also, this matter is actually a guarantee for our superiors to see clearly our strength. It guarantees that we can produce pressure cookers."

"As long as you finish the design drawings and place the samples there, hey, this is a milestone."

"Whoever wants to build this pressure cooker in the future must come up with a better design than this, otherwise it will all be nonsense."

Yang Youning said what he was thinking, and most of Yang Xiaotao's psychological worries immediately dissipated, and both of them smiled.

"If we make a sample, it will be easy then."

Saying goodbye to Yang Youning, Yang Xiaotao rode back to the courtyard.

When he walked into the middle courtyard, Yang Xiaotao saw that the courtyard had been tidied up and planned in an orderly manner.

Especially those quick-finger-long leeks. Now that the temperature has warmed up and the sunshine has begun to get longer, with sufficient energy, this crop of leeks tastes extremely crisp, tender and plump.

"Let Xiaowei work harder tonight!"

"The weather is getting warmer, so I dare to get ready."

Looking at the vacant space aside, I saw that it was my request to plant corn.

With Xiaowei's help, we will definitely produce salt-alkali resistant corn this time.

During dinner, Ran Qiuye mentioned returning to Yangjiazhuang Primary School. Yang Xiaotao expressed support, but Ran's mother had no choice but to accept.

Just when Ran Qiuye went to the countryside, she could also live in a large courtyard. Living here was still somewhat separated from the neighbors, so she was not as comfortable as living in her own large courtyard.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao revised the drawings in the study.

Although the design of the electric pressure cooker has been approved, the evaluation is too low, so Yang Xiaotao still wants to improve it.

We just take this opportunity to learn about the development of domestic science and technology. If there are breakthroughs, we can update it at any time.

While Yang Xiaotao was looking at the drawings, Ran Qiuye walked aside and sat down.

"The child is asleep?"

"Go to sleep. I didn't sleep much today, so I'm going to be snoring."

Ran Qiuye pursed her lips and smiled, while Yang Xiaotao looked sideways, feeling a little hot in his heart.

At this time, Ran Qiuye is just like a ripe peach, which makes people admire.

Looking at the lights on in the houses outside, Yang Xiaotao suppressed his anger and held Ran Qiuye's hand, "Looking at you like this, something is wrong."

Ran Qiuye held his hands and nodded, "I have something to tell you."

"you say."

"Last time Sister Tang came and asked me if I wanted to work at the Women's Federation."

"Then what?"

Yang Xiaotao was a little shocked. This was probably what the chief meant. As for Secretary Tang, this person generally did not express his opinions.

"I, I don't know either."

Ran Qiuye was a little flustered. In fact, what she wanted to do most was to be a teacher.

But thinking of Director Wang's warning, if it is good for Yang Xiaotao in the future, the best way is to enter the system and make progress together.

Seeing Ran Qiuye's appearance, Yang Xiaotao knew that she had made a choice.

The reason why I told myself this was because I was afraid that I would think too much.

"It's okay, no matter which one you choose, I support it."

"real?"

"Of course, you are my wife. If I don't support you, who will I support?"

Ran Qiuye was delighted, "I still want to be a teacher."

"As you know, I always feel inappropriate going to that kind of place. Being with the children is fine. No need for intrigue."

Although Ran Qiuye is not afraid to speak his mind, he will not take the initiative to get involved.

"Then don't go. We will be a glorious people's teacher from now on, educating the flowers of the motherland."

"Um!"

This time, Ran Qiuye was really happy.

Her husband's understanding and support completely solidified her hesitation in the past two days.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao leaned over and picked up Ran Qiuye, holding a princess in front of his chest.

Although there are still two babies in her belly, Ran Qiuye's weight is not heavy, and only her belly is straightened out, while other parts are still well-proportioned.

"What are you doing? Put it down quickly. People outside have seen it."

"Look, I'm hugging my wife, who is she next to?"

"That's not okay, how embarrassing."

Yang Xiaotao suddenly laughed evilly, "What a shame, I forgot where these twins came from."

Speaking of this, Ran Qiuye blushed even more and stretched out two fingers to twist Yang Xiaotao's weak spot.

Suddenly, a suppressed ouch came from the study.

The two played around for a while, with Yang Xiaotao still holding Ran Qiuye.

"I don't know how the students are doing in their review. This exam is very important."

Ran Qiuye was worried, and Yang Xiaotao pressed her forehead against Ran Qiuye's, meditating quietly.

This year, there is still a need to take an exam to advance from primary school to junior high school. Maybe in a few years, there will be a policy to cancel the exam, and then you can go to school nearby. But for Yangjiazhuang Primary School, the closest one is still the Four-Nine Cities.

Don’t talk about the far ones, just talk about the near ones.

During the Chinese New Year, the old principal of Hongxing Primary School had already negotiated with his superiors, and Yangjiazhuang Primary School could be affiliated with Hongxing Primary School to participate in the exam. However, Yangjiazhuang Primary School has only been in operation for a few years, and there are only a few grades in total, while Hongxing Primary School has grades from first grade to sixth grade. Each stage is complete, so if Yangjiazhuang wants to take the assessment, only those who meet the age of sixth grade can sign up.

“How many children are old enough?”

"I thought about it, the earliest batch plus the later ones, there are twenty-four."

"It's quite a lot."

"Yes, but this exam is a bit hanging. The best student here has only been studying for three years. How can he compare with the children who have been studying for six years?"

"Junior high school is based on grades. If you don't do well in the exam, you won't be able to get into it."

Ran Qiuye was a little upset. She had put a lot of effort into these children, so she naturally hoped that the children would achieve good results and successfully enter junior high school to receive a better education.

Yang Xiaotao suddenly laughed when he heard Ran Qiuye's worry, "Isn't this simple? Just leave it to me."

"You? Don't mess around. This is education, fair and just."

Ah~~

Ran Qiuye thought that Yang Xiaotao wanted to have a relationship, but when he said it, he felt that a sensitive part was being pinched, and his ears turned red instantly.

"What are you thinking, can I be that kind of person?"

"You, let go first."

"If you don't let go, you will be wronged."

"Dear, husband~~~"

Ran Qiuye, whose ears were red, suddenly let out a sweet cry. Yang Xiaotao almost lost control and then let go.

"Hey, my method is very simple, just answer the questions."

"Refresh the questions?"

"Yes, if you want to do well in the exam, you have to cram in the moment. If you want to hold the Buddha's legs tight, it is indispensable to study the questions."

"What? It's all nonsense."

"Don't you understand? This is a wise saying. By the way, test, test, test, the teacher's magic weapon, every point is the lifeblood of the students."

Yang Xiaotao thought of the time in his previous life when he was only dominated by test papers, the thick winter vacation garden, and the summer vacation garden.

Unconsciously, I used some force on my hands.

"You'll know then."

One night passed, Ran Qiuye lay in bed with a red face, and didn't get up until Yang Xiaotao left.

When he arrived at the steel rolling mill, Yang Xiaotao was not in a hurry to work. Instead, he picked up the phone and called the principal's office of Hongxing Primary School.

"Old principal, I am Yang Xiaotao. I have a favor for you to do~~"

After some communication, Yang Xiaotao drove to the Education Office during lunch. When he came back in the afternoon, he had a stack of papers in his hand.

These examination papers are all examination questions from primary school to junior high school over the years. Some of them are organized by local governments, some have the same papers across the country, and some schools independently test them, including Chinese and mathematics.

Thanks to the old principal's acquaintance with people from the Education Department, and the fact that Yang Xiaotao brought a bag of fruits and several boxes of cigarettes, they were able to find them from the warehouse.

After returning to the steel rolling mill, Yang Xiaotao recruited people from the R\u0026D department as young men. Each person was given two papers and copied them on wax paper. The steel rolling mill had a ready-made 'mimeograph machine', and Lou Xiao'e's logistics team was responsible for printing.

After engraving one piece, print one copy, 30 copies each.

For a time, the R\u0026D technology department was filled with the sound of heads bowing and clicking. Only Lou Xiaoe's logistics team was busy brushing ink, drying the test papers, and then placing them together as a whole.

Of course, Yang Youning and Chen Gong psychologically despise Yang Xiaotao's behavior of abusing power for personal gain.

But there was a warm smile on his face.

Because Yang Xiaotao's electric pressure cooker has been built.

Dear friends, it’s the end of the month and if you still have extra monthly votes, please vote.

Thank you!
