Scholars in the courtyard

Understanding all this, Yang Xiaotao thought for a moment, and then persuaded, "I know this, so we have to apply to our superiors. Just like the cooperation with Quancheng No. 1 Machinery Factory, didn't our superiors also approve it?"

"Well, it's not impossible, it's just..."

"It's just that everything is produced by others, or does it come from our steel rolling mill?"

Yang Xiaotao was confused by what Yang Youning said and was stunned for a moment.

"Why not? As long as it is assembled in the workshop of our steel rolling mill, it is our product."

Aren’t those groups in later generations just piecing together the products of one supplier after another?

Besides, establish a good relationship with suppliers now so that we can have better cooperation in the future.

"Besides, this involves national development. As long as a few factories work together, they can do better."

"Director, only in this way can we make a better electric pressure cooker. You don't want our pressure cooker to be eliminated in a year or two. Then our friendship pot will become history, and our foreign exchange earnings will be over. "

Yang Xiaotao said sincerely, and Yang Youning finally made up his mind after hearing this.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Write me a plan based on what you just thought about."

"I will respond to the superiors for the rest."

Yang Youning said, thinking in his mind.

If it is true as Yang Xiaotao said, this electric pressure cooker has great potential. If he can earn more foreign exchange for the country, he, the director of the steel rolling mill, may move up his career.

"Okay, I know you are an outstanding revolutionary comrade with great wisdom, courage, and big heart."

"Under your leadership, the rolling mill will surely..."

"Okay, okay, don't put a high hat on me. Whether this can happen or not depends on the opinion of your superiors. Don't be too happy too early."

Yang Youning still doesn’t know Yang Xiaotao’s mouth?

This is a steel rolling mill that can rival him.

When Yang Xiaotao heard what Yang Youning said, he knew that it was done. As long as he had parts suppliers, he could continue to improve and let the suppliers cooperate in research and development technology and slowly upgrade the infrastructure.

This is what Yang Xiaotao wants.

By then, it will not only be a pressure cooker, but also a rice cooker in Yang Xiaotao's system space.

"Making this thing is equivalent to robbing the money from my childhood!"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly showed a cruel smile, and Yang Youning saw it, and immediately stretched out his hand to stop him, "Okay, okay, you just don't cause trouble for me in the future."

"gone!"

Perhaps because of Yang Xiaotao's persuasion, or because Yang Xiaotao's smile was abnormal, Yang Youning turned around and left the office.

"You laughed so scary just now."

After Yang Youning left, Lou Xiaoe suddenly came over and said.

"Really? I smile so gently, you must have seen it wrong."

"No, I can clearly see that you smile so evilly!"

Lou Xiao'e confirmed seriously, and then saw Yang Xiaotao staring at her.

"You, what are you looking at!"

"You, are you still laughing?"

Suddenly, Lou Xiao'e felt as if she was being targeted by a demon. It was a feeling she had never felt before, as if she couldn't help herself.

"Hey, you're not happy to say you're young, you're cowardly."

Yang Xiaotao withdrew his gaze and sat back at the table. Lou Xiao'e patted her chest and breathed carefully.

It wasn't until Yang Xiaotao began to immerse himself in writing that he finally regained his breath.

"Bad guy, you're definitely a bad guy."

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Ignoring Lou Xiao'e's anger, Yang Xiaotao immersed himself in writing the plan and organizing the drawings. If it was completed, after approval from his superiors, the parts would be sent to various factories.

On the other side, Huang Degong received the news from Lou Xiao'e and began to organize manpower to produce and install electric pressure cookers. Even Wang Daxuan, the leader of the electric pressure cooker, was captured as a laborer. After all, he was the only one who knew this here.

After several people got off work, they were able to finish half of the electric pressure cooker.

Yang Xiaotao didn't pay attention when he came over to take a look at it after get off work. This thing was originally more complicated than the previous pressure cooker, not to mention that the current workers were not familiar with it. The low efficiency was understandable. He just asked people to watch it carefully and complete it as soon as possible.

Put the test paper in a box and put it in the jeep, then started the car, drove out of the steel rolling mill and returned to the courtyard.

In the yard, Ran's mother led Ran Xinrui and Ran Hongbing home after lunch.

Although Ran Qiuye was reluctant to give up, she also knew that her mother had her own life.

Just looking at Ran Hongbing's attitude of wanting to run away immediately, she, the eldest sister, felt that she was losing face.

Yang Xiaotao parked his car at the entrance of the alley, locked his things in the car, and went home with his backpack.

In the yard, Ran Qiuye was also packing things. When he saw Yang Xiaotao coming back, Wangcai rushed over with a roar and wagging his tail.

Yang Xiaotao patted the dog's head, then walked to the yard, looked at the leeks that had grown up overnight, smiled and picked up half of the sickle on the ground, "Daughter-in-law, I will make you a leek box tonight."

"Okay, I'm still thinking of cutting some more and taking them back tomorrow so that I can have a taste."

"Don't worry, there's still time to cut again tomorrow morning. The leeks will be delicious this morning."

As Yang Xiaotao spoke, he had already separated a large handful of leeks, and sat in front of the pool to wash off the soil before the two of them entered the house.

At the hanging flower gate, Qin Jingru came back with a bag of eggs. She bought them from the supply and marketing cooperative and planned to boil them tonight.

As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye returning to the house. She also saw the green leeks in the yard. Qin Jingru wanted to scramble eggs with leeks.

Just seeing the vicious dog guarding the door, Qin Jingru turned her head decisively. She couldn't mess with this dog.

Returning to the backyard, I looked at the ruins next door. After a winter of wind and rain, the scene was even more dilapidated, with bricks scattered around. Children usually played here, and it was even more ruined.

"Second aunt, it's time to cook."

Qin Jingru glanced at the second aunt who was going out to wash vegetables, and lifted the eggs in her hand. Ever since the second uncle Liu Haizhong was taken away to the labor camp, the Liu family had been completely reduced. If it weren't for the second son of the Liu family, he still had a full job. The appearance, I don’t know how to live a long time.

Even so, it's still a dead wage. You won't starve to death, but you won't be able to eat well.

It's not like their Da Mao, who has a lot of skills and earns a higher salary than Liu Guangtian.

"Jingru, are you buying eggs?"

"Hey, I'm pregnant right now. Do I need to supplement my nutrition? A few days ago, Damao said that he wanted to buy two old hens, which are just right for laying eggs, and they can also take care of the confinement in the future."

Qin Jingru said proudly, and at the same time she was still thinking about the 'support' given by Sha Zhu. The child in her belly was from the He family, so how could she not pay him.

The second aunt felt uncomfortable when she heard Qin Jingru boasting for a while, so she turned around and went home to cook.

"Mom, if you listen to her nonsense, she is just a country bumpkin. Marrying that Xu Damao is really a lame donkey, so let's deal with it."

Liu Guangfu heard clearly what was going on outside at home, and showed disdain for Qin Jingru.

However, thinking of the tender whiteness he saw last time, Liu Guangfu was still jealous of Xu Damao.

"Okay, I don't know her yet?"

"In this courtyard, she is just like her cousin Qin Huairu. They are both unfamiliar white-eyed wolves."

"Look at the three brothers who crawled out of Qin Huairu's belly. Is there a good thing? Birds come out of whatever nest they come from. Even she was a bad guy when she was born."

The second aunt pouted and said that during this period, the changes in life have changed her personality a lot, but some things cannot be changed.

"By the way, how's your job search going?"

Liu Guangfu sat on the chair, "What else can I do? Thanks to Comrade Liu Haizhong, as soon as I heard that there was a labor reformer in our family, he kicked me out without saying a word. Even if I say that I am estranged from the relationship between father and son, they will not recognize me. .”

"Hey, we can't stay at home all the time."

"Let's see. It's hard to find a job now. If it doesn't work out, I'll do odd jobs to earn a living first."

"You two brothers must keep fighting. Mom is counting on you two. I'll cook for you."

At night, the yard is filled with the smell of leeks.

Yang Xiaotao did not break his promise and made about ten of them that night. Not only Ran Qiuye ate them, but also several members of the Liu Yuhua and Wang Dashan families ate them.

Several families enjoyed the chive boxes delivered to their door by Ran Qiuye, and their relationship became even more cordial.

In Jia's house in the middle courtyard, Mrs. Jia Zhang took a steamed bun and looked at Qin Huairu and the people in the yard. She smelled the scent of leeks and the faint aroma of eggs and meat, and felt more determined about her actions at night.

There was the only way she could think of.

Qin Huairu lowered her head and ate the steamed buns, pretending to be immune to leeks.

Silly Zhu's change of attitude chilled her.

You've obviously tried very hard to hint, why didn't you take the bait?

I must have worn thick clothes, so that everyone could see the results of my weight loss during this period.

When the weather gets warmer, I will definitely let Shazhu know that I am the best.

The next day, Sunday.

At dawn, Yang Xiaotao got up and cut a bunch of leeks, then wrapped two large bundles in newspapers and set them aside.

Ran Qiuye was holding the little Dragon Boat Festival, and there was a pile of clothes on the bed. Yang Xiaotao came into the house to help, and moved the needed things into the car.

The two of them packed up the clothes, the trolley, and dozens of books specially selected by Yang Xiaotao. They emptied almost half of the bookshelf before packing everything properly.

After a simple breakfast, we got on the bus at around nine o'clock in the morning. We left Sijiu City with Ran Qiuye, Xiaodanwu and Wangcai.

At noon, the car stopped at the entrance of Yangjiazhuang Brigade Department.

Now the people in Yangjiazhuang knew Yang Xiaotao's jeep and recognized it from afar. When Yang Xiaotao got out of the car, Mr. Yang and Yang Dazhuang were already waiting at the door.

"Duanwu, come to Master."

As soon as he got off the bus, Mr. Yang held Dragon Boat Festival in his arms, his beard moved to his little face, while Yang Xiaotao asked people to move things down.

Clothes and food were moved into the house one after another, and finally there was a box of books and exam papers.

"Why bring so many papers? And so many books?"

Yang Dazhuang helped move the things down and was very curious.

“This is for the kids graduating.”

Yang Xiaotao said something and continued working.

At noon, Yang Xiaotao personally cooked a table of wine and food, and then entertained Mr. Yang and others.

He also asked Yang Shitou to invite Teacher Hong, but Yang Shitou said that Teacher Hong was greeting his lover and might not be able to come.

"When did this happen?"

During the last Chinese New Year, Teacher Hong wrote a letter asking her lover to come here to teach and asked her to mail it out. Unexpectedly, she actually came.

"Just came yesterday."

"Let's go together."

Yang Xiaotao put down the pot and spatula in his hand and walked to school with Ran Qiuye who was chatting.

Teacher Hong's residence is right next to the school. It has two houses. The village helped to repair them, so it is not a problem to accommodate them.

Halfway through, Yang Xiaotao asked Ran Qiuye to wait while he went back to get something.

Not long after, when I came back, I had a towel, an enamel jar, a large piece of pork, and a bag of eggs.

"Let's go."

Carrying things, I came to the small room next to the school and saw smoke coming out of the chimney, apparently cooking.

"Teacher Hong!"

Yang Xiaotao opened the door of the small courtyard and walked in. As soon as his voice fell, he saw Teacher Hong running out with a coat on her back, "Xiao Tao, Teacher Ran, you are here, please come in quickly."

"Teacher Hong, are you going to cook now?"

Yang Xiaotao carried his things and walked into the room. Teacher Hong smiled at the side and said, "Comrade Xiao Zhang, come out quickly to meet this distinguished guest."

After the voice fell, a middle-aged woman with short hair and a kind face came out of the room. She had a smile on her face when she walked out.

That smile was very kind and sincere.
