Scholars in the courtyard

Soon, in the evening, everyone was eating in the school. Home-cooked noodles were also delivered. The children ate the roast duck and chewed the bones and swallowed it.

When everything was settled, Yang Xiaotao took Ran Qiuye and Xiao Duanwu back to Sijiu City.

In the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao arranged the things. The couple watched the little Dragon Boat Festival holding a persimmon and chewing on it in the courtyard, while Wangcai returned to the kennel, wagging his tail very comfortably.

"Are you in trouble?"

Ran Qiuye sat on the chair, touching his belly from time to time. Yang Xiaotao was peeling the apple with a knife and eating the peel at the same time.

"It's a bit troublesome, but it's nothing."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and waved a peeled apple to the little Dragon Boat Festival. The little guy stood up and took two steps, then sat down on the ground again, pouting and about to cry.

But when he saw that there was no great grandfather around, he glanced at the 'bad dad' in front of him, and finally stood up unsteadily, took two quick steps on his legs, and fell directly into Yang Xiaotao's arms.

Wipe your little hands clean with a towel, and then put the apple in Dragon Boat Festival's hand.

"How many teeth does this little guy have?"

"As a father, you don't even know how many teeth your son has."

Yang Xiaotao was embarrassed. The main reason was that the boy in Dragon Boat Festival had his teeth late, while other children had their teeth come out at seven or eight months. As a result, this boy only had two front teeth when he was eight months old, and the ones behind him stopped moving.

It's the Dragon Boat Festival in two days, and I'm about to turn one and two years old, and I still haven't got all my teeth yet.

"Nine of them. The big tooth on the right side has also popped up."

Ran Qiuye pointed at the Dragon Boat Festival and said, Yang Xiaotao picked up his son with a smile, opened his mouth and looked at it, the Dragon Boat Festival was so hot that he screamed.

"Little guy, hurry up and grow your teeth so you can eat meat."

Ah~~

The little Dragon Boat Festival whined, and the whole family was enjoying themselves.

At the Moon Gate, Qin Huairu lowered his head and came out, just in time to see this scene.

Suddenly, his eyes felt like needles pricking him, and they hurt.

However, after touching the steamed buns in her arms and thinking of the five yuan in her pocket, Qin Huairu finally found some comfort in her heart.

In the backyard, Qin Jingru sat blankly on a stool. There were three plates in front of the table, one with pickles, one with cabbage, and another one that originally contained steamed buns.

This was her dinner, and when Xu Damao came back, it was a midnight snack.

However, at this time, the plate containing the steamed buns was gone, the meat in the cabbage was gone, and half of the pickles were missing.

The reason for this is naturally Qin Huairu.

At dinner time, Qin Jingru had just finished cooking, and Qin Huairu came to sit down.

Then he rudely found a pair of chopsticks and sat aside to eat. Qin Jingru wanted to drive her out, but Qin Huairu stopped her by saying, "I was stupid when I was a child."

Afterwards, Qin Huairu took away the meal and took away a 'loan' of five yuan.

Bada

Tears fell on the table, and Qin Jingru's face finally showed expression.

He touched his belly, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

"Next time you dare to come here, you will die."

"Anyway, there is no proof. Let Shazhu know when the time comes, and let's see how you end it!"

The next day, when he woke up in the morning, Yang Xiaotao looked at his son lying on his chest. He ate too much fruit yesterday. As a result, in the middle of the night, Yang Xiaotao smelled the smell of urine, and then...

He couldn't sleep in the small bed, so he had to put him on the big bed. Yang Xiaotao was worried about touching Ran Qiuye's belly, so he put the little guy on the other side.

As a result, the little guy insisted on looking for Ran Qiuye, so Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to hug him, and then put his hand on Ran Qiuye.

I just don’t know how to crawl on myself!

He turned his head and glanced aside, but he didn't see Ran Qiuye.

Then I heard the sound of washing clothes outside, and I knew what was going on.

"You brat, if you dare to be unfilial in the future, I'll spank you."

Putting aside the sleeping Dragon Boat Festival, Yang Xiaotao put on his clothes and sandals and went out.

Ran Qiuye was putting sheets on the clothesline, and Yang Xiaotao hurried over to help.

"Don't sleep a little longer, it's only six o'clock."

Ran Qiuye smiled, "These two boys are making a lot of noise inside. If they get up and walk around, they will calm down."

"These two guys are not as good as his brother at that time."

As he spoke, he reached out to touch Ran Qiuye's belly, but in the yard, Ran Qiuye was shy and immediately moved away, "I'm going to make something to eat."

The two had breakfast, Ran Qiuye pushed Duanwu to Ran's house, escorted by Wangcai, while Yang Xiaotao drove to the steel rolling mill.

Back at the steel rolling mill, Yang Xiaotao first went to the warehouse to take a look. Because he had not yet finalized the design parameters of the core part, everyone was working on other parts. Of course, the speed inevitably slowed down.

After all, the core part also needs to be related to the surrounding parts, so there are many fewer options for manufacturing.

After Yang Xiaotao learned about the situation, he also understood that he could not delay it.

Even if you are reluctant, you must accept this reality.

"Two knives are better than no knife at all."

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao returned to the office, found the drawings, and began to revise the design again.

"The strength and hardness are reduced. If you want to maintain the effect, it cannot be too thin here. If you need to increase the thickness, then it should be here."

Yang Xiaotao looked at a drawing and made modifications on it, considering more things.

If it weren't for the fact that a lot of materials, manpower, and force had not been expended, he would have wanted to tear down all the design drawings and recreate them.

The redesigned machine tool is suitable for existing materials and is much better than high-end and low-end machines.

It's a pity that he has already put in all the hard work and cannot allow him to start over.

I lower my head at the table and revise it carefully. Sometimes I have to consider multiple aspects.

"Unfortunately, this was not designed by myself, and the system cannot prompt it."

I cursed again mentally, feeling that this was even more difficult to do, but I had to do it.

Throughout the morning, Yang Xiaotao was busy at his desk.

During this period, Yang Youning passed by and asked about the situation. Yang Xiaotao briefly said a few words and asked about the progress. Although he was the person directly responsible, he only talked about it in name. It was Yang Xiaotao who really did the work, and he highly recognized Yang Xiaotao's work attitude.

The two talked for a while. Yang Youning asked about yesterday's exam and expressed his attitude. If the children are motivated, some internship positions will be arranged at the steel rolling mill.

No details were given, but the leaked information made Yang Xiaotao feel that this was exactly the same as Dean Deng's method.

But I happily agreed, as long as it’s good for the children, feel free to use sugar-coated bullets.

After Yang Youning left, not long after Chen Gong came over to talk.

The welding rods in Shanghai have been solved, and the newly customized welding rods have been delivered to the train station. He will pick them up in person later and ask Yang Xiaotao if he wants to go with him.

Looking at the drawings on the table, Yang Xiaotao shook his head and asked Chen Gong to entertain people in the name of the steel rolling mill. Maybe it would be useful in the future.

Chen Gong naturally knew it, and even said that he had prepared a friendship pot for others. Of course, it was the "problematic pot" originally saved by the steel rolling mill. Chen Gong was very skilled at doing this kind of thing.

After Chen Gong left, there was no one else in the office. Except for Lou Xiao'e who came back from time to time, he didn't know what he was doing. Yang Xiaotao didn't care and focused on revising the drawings.

During lunch, Yang Xiaotao was not in the mood to go, and continued to correct the drawings with a frown.

He found that more and more things needed to be changed.

It started out as three core design drawings. After one was modified, it became six design drawings, and now it has been changed to the tenth.

He finally understood what it meant to move the whole body.

I am even more impressed that it is indeed a precision machine tool produced in Germany.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao felt a little dizzy, probably because he had lowered his head for a long time and hadn't eaten anything, so he found two candies from the space and stuffed them into his mouth, then lay down on the table to rest for a while.

As soon as he lay down, he heard someone walking in.

Hearing the footsteps, Yang Xiaotao knew it was Lou Xiao'e, so he continued to lie down for a while.

Just hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Yang Xiaotao couldn't continue to pretend not to hear, so he shook his neck and raised his head.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Seeing Lou Xiao'e like this, it was obvious that something was on her face, but she just didn't know what it was, so it was inconvenient to say it.

Lou Xiao'e's hands were tied behind her back, and her fingers were intertwined constantly, feeling very hesitant in her heart.

"If you have any questions, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can in this steel rolling mill."

When Lou Xiao'e heard these words, she suddenly felt moved in her heart.

To be honest, since I entered the steel rolling mill, starting from the R\u0026D department, when Yang Xiaotao was still the section chief, it was thanks to Yang Xiaotao that he vouched for her because of the incident involving the deaf old lady who was an enemy agent. At that time, I was able to withstand the pressure and vouch for her. Among them, The risks are evident.

Especially the lady who is still a capitalist, and the one who took the initiative to 'disconnect' that relationship.

Both emotionally and rationally, Lou Xiao'e's mentality is filled with gratitude.

Later, the family got rid of the false reputation, and she also worked hard in the steel rolling mill, but Wang Fuhan almost pushed their family into a pit of fire. At the critical moment, it was Yang Xiaotao who saved their family with his ability.

If Yang Xiaotao hadn't looked down on her as a fallen flower, she would have been willing to sacrifice herself to compensate.

pity…

"Hey, hey. Talk, what are you thinking about! What are you doing here? I'm telling you, the Dragon Boat Festival is back, and Qiuye will give birth in two days. You, the godmother, have nothing to do and help me take care of the baby. Anyway, take care of the baby. Two days.”

Yang Xiaotao rubbed his neck and said, Lou Xiao'e came back to her senses and immediately laughed when she thought of Little Dragon Boat Festival. Sure enough, a woman's maternal love can always come at any time, even if she has never given birth to a child.

"knew."

"However, I still have something to tell you."

Lou Xiao'e regained her composure, and then ran to the door and closed it, leaving Yang Xiaotao in a daze.

"Well, I told my dad about our machine tool business."

"Well, after all, the steel rolling mill has publicized this kind of thing, so it doesn't matter if he knows."

"Just hear me out."

Lou Xiao'e stepped forward and got closer, lowering her voice by three points. Yang Xiaotao leaned on the chair and couldn't help but move back to put some distance between him and the two groups in front of him.

After all, they are too close to see clearly.

What's more, it's really, really hot on this hot day.

Lou Xiao'e didn't notice this, but said with a little nervousness, "My father mentioned something accidentally."

"He said that when the kid surrendered, even though the Jinling government asked not to destroy industrial equipment, you know that the kid had a bad inside and was covered in holes. There was nothing good about him."

Lou Xiao'e scolded the little devil for about ten minutes before finally getting to the point.

"Obviously they dare not destroy, but secretly they destroy machines a lot, especially in steel plants. In places like this, they even drive away workers and send troops to blow up many machines."

Hearing Lou Xiao'e talk about these things, Yang Xiaotao vaguely felt that this must be Lou Jingtang using Lou Xiao'e's mouth to remind him. As for what the reminder was, he couldn't hear it yet.

"Later, Jinling sent people to take over the steel plant. My father was involved at that time. It was very distressing to see many machines and equipment being blown up."

"At that time, the people in Jinling wanted to sell all the equipment as scrap metal to make money. My father and others tried to stop it, but their arms couldn't lift their thighs, and there was really no need to repair the equipment."

"Where did that batch of equipment go?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't have time for Lou Xiao'e to continue talking, so he quickly asked.

"My dad said that it seemed that no one wanted the scrap metal after selling it, so he just threw it in the warehouse of the No. 1 branch factory."

"The first branch factory?"

"Yes, my father said that we got up later. The first branch factory was the original factory. Later the Japanese took over."

"What else did your father say?"

Lou Xiao'e thought for a while, "My father didn't say anything. That is to say, that batch of equipment is quite a pity. Many of them are imported. Of course, the ones from the little devil are not very good, but the ones from Europa are quite good."

This time, Yang Xiaotao was more sure that Lou Jingtang was helping him.
