Scholars in the courtyard

Yang Xiaotao left the plan behind and saw that it was almost time to get off work. Now he was a little hungry, so he didn't go looking for food. Instead, he returned to the office and prepared to gather the staff first.

A few old people in the R\u0026D department, Liu Daming and Hou Baobao, are two of the most capable people in the northwest, so we need to bring them with us.

Other seventh-level workers can follow behind the two.

Blacksmiths like Lao Guo who master the iron plate relief also need to go in.

By the way, as Lao Sun mentioned last time, who else has special abilities?

It's a pity that Lao Sun went to the first branch factory, otherwise he could have done something.

Forget it, for every type of work, level eight workers must have, this, and this...

Yang Xiaotao wrote his name in the notebook, presumably taking the opportunity to recruit most of the special talents in the steel rolling mill to the R\u0026D department.

After the three of them left, Yang Youning sat at the table, picked up a thermos bottle and filled half a tank of water for himself, then blew it gently while his eyes fell on the plan in front of him.

After a long time, Yang Youning picked up the phone.

No. 1 Machinery Department, office on the second floor.

Liu Huaimin has been very irritable these past two days. He is too busy to find Bei's irritability. Even his beautiful secretary is too busy and the phone rings non-stop every day.

Ever since the instruments and equipment produced in the northwest were shipped back to China, except for some special equipment, the rest were targeted as soon as they entered the country.

If a few big guys from the 1st Machinery Department hadn't reacted quickly and pressed the object directly, they would have been divided long ago.

Even so, the callers all asked for "support," as if they couldn't do their jobs without support.

Moreover, the position of the caller also increased step by step, and his weight became more and more important, which he had to face up to.

Among them, the two high-end machine tools that are 80% new are the ones that attract the most attention.

After several manufacturing plants learned the news, they scrambled fiercely like sharks smelling blood.

What kind of relationship does it matter? If it doesn't matter, I just call him every day. It's annoying to death.

In this regard, Liu Huaimin also understood their difficulties, but he could not solve the problem.

Who said there were only two machine tools?

In the past few years, domestic channels for imported machine tools have been almost blocked. In addition, after the relationship with the alliance has deteriorated, it is even more impossible to introduce new machine tools.

Nowadays, most of the machine tools used in China are old machine tools from more than ten years ago. Even when they were introduced, they were already behind the times.

The few factories in China that are capable of manufacturing machine tools only manufacture ordinary machine tools, but they cannot expand on a large scale because their output cannot increase.

Moreover, this kind of ordinary machine tool manufactured with ordinary machine tools has inherent flaws, and it plays a limited role in the development of domestic machine tools.

Logically speaking, only ordinary machine tools made by high-end machine tools are reliable.

Unfortunately, there are almost no advanced high-end machine tools in China.

Nowadays, the appearance of these two high-end machine tools, even if they are only 80% new, has attracted widespread attention.

Not to mention anything else, just a few machine tool manufacturers are eager to go back immediately.

However, Liu Huaimin knew the considerations and inclinations of the leaders above, which was to let Shanghai and Jiefang Automobile Factory, whose purpose was naturally to develop engines and complete the upgrading of the automobile industry.

It's a pity that in this matter, he can take care of one end but not the other. He can only weigh the pros and cons and try to balance it.

Ring ring ring

The phone on the table rang again. Liu Huaimin subconsciously looked up at the time. Then his secretary answered the phone, "The leader is Director Yang of the steel rolling mill!"

Liu Huaimin suddenly felt a headache.

Having worked with Yang Youning for many years, I know exactly what his temper is.

This guy has no profit and can't afford to be early. If he calls, something must be wrong.

Maybe they're using Feiying's excuse to get the machine tool.

It would be really troublesome for him to open his mouth about this matter, especially when he is trying to trick people into doing things one by one.

I can’t not answer the phone!

Liu Huaimin picked up the phone and heard Yang Youning's voice immediately.

"Hey, Lao Liu, I'm busy."

"You, you, are about to get off work. You are still so busy, so you don't have to worry about being exhausted."

Liu Huaimin didn't want to say more about the daily greetings, "You are calling now. Is there something wrong? Is there something wrong with the pot?"

"Hey, pot? Flying Eagle, it's no problem. Don't worry, when did our steel rolling mill have a crotch lift?"

"Okay, just hang up if you have nothing to do. I haven't even eaten since I'm so busy!"

Liu Huaimin hung up the phone in a hurry, fearing that this guy would make another rude comment.

"Wait, there's something, there's really something."

At this moment, Yang Youning's urgent voice came, and Liu Huaimin sighed in his heart, as expected, what should come must come.

Steel rolling mill, director's office.

Yang Youning crossed his legs and held the phone in his hand.

"Yang Xiaotao is back, isn't he? It's not about rewards."

"Either you just mentioned to us that we need to make the machine tool in the northwest, or we organize skilled workers from the steel rolling mill to try it..."

"Hello? Hello? Old Liu?"

Wow

There was a sound of chair legs rubbing against the concrete floor, and even the sound of a water tank tipping over.

After waiting for a while, Liu Huaimin's voice was heard.

"Old Yang, tell me again? Machine tool, what kind of machine tool?"

Ahem

Yang Youning coughed twice, and when he heard Liu Huaimin's excited voice, he had a proud smile on his face.

"Old Liu, that's the machine tool in the northwest. This guy went there and got the drawings. What do you think..."

As Yang Youning finished talking about the matter, Yang Xiaotao's plan also picked up the key points. Of course, he did not mention Yang Xiaotao's guarantee. He only stated that this was the unanimous request of the leadership of the steel rolling mill, and he did not say death, just that it would be useful. To improve the production efficiency of 'Flying Eagle'.

"I'll go take a look later. Don't wait until I get off work."

After a long time, Liu Huaimin's voice came from the microphone, followed by a busy tone.

Yang Youning looked at his watch and said, 'Come on, I have to work overtime again tonight. ’

As night fell, Yang Xiaotao read the list of personnel again before getting up and preparing to go home.

The room was empty. When I went out and took a look, I saw that the lights in the surrounding factory director's office were still on.

Lowering his voice slightly, Yang Xiaotao left quickly.

After a while, we drove away from the steel rolling mill and returned to the courtyard.

Looking at the home he hadn't seen for more than half a month, Yang Xiaotao still felt a little sad.

After passing the front door, I said hello to the men in the front yard who were blowing the cool breeze, and then came to the middle yard.

In the yard, lights are on in the rooms on the east and west sides. Living standards have improved a lot in recent years, especially for workers in the steel rolling mill. Not only do they have wages and benefits, but they also made a lot of money by following Yang Xiaotao in installing heating stoves and well drilling machines. Every household has Start turning on the lights.

Of course, considering the electricity bill, the lights will not stay on for too long, and the lights are usually not turned on if nothing happens.

There are lights on the east and west sides, whether they are electric lamps or kerosene lamps, there is light, but as soon as the houses on the south side go out, there is no light.

The main house in the middle was sealed, so naturally no one lived in it.

On the left is Yang Xiaotao's house. His wife and son are in the countryside and no one lives there.

"Brother Tao, you're back!"

Halfway through the walk, Liu Yuhua's voice came from the door of the house. Yang Xiaotao looked over and saw that he was holding his daughter out.

"I went back to Yangjiazhuang yesterday."

"Xiaoyu, come here, uncle, see if you have become more beautiful!"

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and looked at Xiaoyu. The little guy immediately turned his head away.

"This kid is afraid of people!"

Liu Yuhua was smiling on the side, and Yang Xiaotao took out a toffee from his pocket and waved it in front of Xiaoyu, finally attracting his attention.

"Brother Tao, I'll come home for dinner later. Kuizi went to buy some wine. The food is ready."

Yang Xiaotao was not polite and nodded in agreement.

After the two had a conversation, Yang Xiaotao returned home and turned on the lights in the yard.

Many vegetables in the yard are ripe and the ground is still wet. Apparently someone comes to take care of them.

Of course, there was nothing in the saline-alkali land where corn was grown nearby, so Yang Xiaotao thought about taking the time to deal with it.

When I opened the door, there was a musty smell in the room.

Walk to a familiar place, turn on the light, and look around.

Then, roll up your sleeves and start cleaning.

Of course, the main force is Xiaowei, who is flying around, and Yang Xiaotao is only responsible for the execution.

Not long after, the house was almost tidied up, leaving Xiao Wei to continue messing around in the house. Yang Xiaotao washed his hands, picked some fruits from the yard, and brought those things to Zhou Kui's house.

In the room, several workshop workers had been waiting for a long time. Yang Xiaotao was not polite when he came over. He sat on the kang and talked about recent events.

After a while, the food was out, the wine was on the table, and the atmosphere became lively.

Someone was talking about the courtyard house, and Yang Xiaotao was listening. The biggest problem was that Xu Damao and Qin Jingru's child was gone.

Then there are the little things. Uncle Yan in the front yard is sick. I heard that he was made angry by Yan Jie. Yu Li went back to her parents' house. It seems that she couldn't have a child due to a quarrel.

In the backyard, brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu quarreled all day long, and the second aunt couldn't do anything about it.

Xu Damao is still in the labor camp. He has no time to do movie screenings and can't make any money.

But the time is almost up, which is a pity!

The Central Courtyard is generally quite safe, except for the Jia family, something goes wrong every three days. Qin Huairu stopped going to the street to do business a while ago, but she started going there again in the past two days. The old godly woman in the house kept talking all day long. Even though it was clean, the two children also started to act mischievously. A few days ago, Xiaodang led Sophora japonica into the yard and picked two tomatoes.

People in the courtyard didn't say anything when they saw that the child was young.

However, the people in the courtyard are not used to them. They really dare to do it again and again.

My mother's health has been going up and down since the Chinese New Year. She has caught a cold these days...

Everyone was talking to each other, and Yang Xiaotao listened carefully.

These parents are short-sighted, and it sounds like watching TV, which is quite interesting!

From beginning to end, no one asked about Yang Xiaotao's business trip. Obviously they also knew that they couldn't ask about things they shouldn't know.

Jia family.

Qin Huairu was lying on the bed, her stomach growling, so she turned over and pressed it down to resist hunger!

Yang Xiaotao is back!

Every time he thinks of this name, Qin Huairu's heart feels like needles pricking her heart, especially now that her family is at the end of its rope.

A few days ago, there was not much food at home, so I had no choice but to go to Shazhu to ask for money.

This time, people saw it, but it was of no use.

Silly Zhu can't get out of the door at all and can't make money.

Even when the two of them met, there were people from the security department following them around, monitoring the whole process, which made it impossible for her to do even the smallest tricks.

Silly Zhu also had no money. Yi Zhonghai gave all his money to Auntie, so Qin Huairu gained nothing here.

Not to mention, Silly Zhu actually inquired about Qin Jingru in a circumstantial manner. He was already feeling uncomfortable even though he didn’t ask for the money. Now Silly Zhu mentioned Qin Jingru, how could he bear it? After replying that the person was not dead, Qin Huairu turned around and left. .

The silly column now has changed.

"Ouch, ouch!"

Jia Zhang's hoarse voice came from next door, which was particularly desolate in this silent night!

Today Yang Xiaotao is back.

As long as she saw Yang Xiaotao, she was not in a good mood. The better Yang Xiaotao's life became, the more uncomfortable she felt, and her whole body felt uncomfortable.

Now, listening to the bustle on the opposite side, Jia Zhang's head hurts badly, especially when she has no money to buy painkillers, the pain is even more unbearable.

"Huai Ru, buy me two painkillers tomorrow."

Jia Zhang's voice came from next door, Qin Huairu frowned, two painkillers cost five cents.

"Mom, please be patient, our family doesn't have much money."

There was a sound of hammering on the bed board from the opposite side.

After a long time, Jia Zhang lowered her voice and continued.

"Huairu, you'd better go to the street to do it, not for me, but also for the sake of the two children."

After Qin Huairu heard this, she reached out and touched the two girls, and the softness in her heart was touched.

I just want her to do backbreaking work sweeping the streets, so forget it.

Thinking of the biggest secret in her heart, Qin Huairu slowly lowered her head, and then said, "Don't worry, I have a way."
