Scholars in the courtyard

"By the way, this is it."

Lou Xiao'e suddenly became shy, lowered her head and tried to look at her toes, but unfortunately it was difficult.

"Don't tell anyone about this, right?"

Yang Xiaotao naturally guessed that Lou Jingtang did not want to get into trouble.

Lou Xiao'e nodded.

"Then tell me what to do."

"me"

Lou Xiao'e was even more ashamed, and finally said, "I. I am the Dragon Boat Festival Godmother. One family, haha."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and shook his head. Lou Jingtang had figured out his daughter's temperament and would definitely tell her.

Really, stupid moth.

"Don't tell others about this, your father doesn't want to cause trouble."

"I know. I just told you. No one else said anything."

"Well, go back and thank uncle for me."

"Huh? Okay!"

Lou Xiao'e still didn't think about why she told her father, but Yang Xiaotao didn't want to explain.

Since Lou Jingtang said that some of the machines are European, it may not be that there are tungsten alloys.

Maybe Lou Jingtang thought so too.

No matter what, always look for it.

After going out, Yang Xiaotao went directly to the office next door.

In the room, Yang Youning was really discussing the workshop with Wang Guodong. When Yang Xiaotao came in, the two stopped talking.

"What, have you finished changing the drawings?"

Yang Youning took out his cigarette and saw that the expression on Yang Xiaotao's face was completely different from the previous frown, bitterness and hatred.

Yang Xiaotao took the cigarette directly, took out two cigarettes and gave one to Wang Guodong.

Wang Guodong looked at the cigarette box and sighed mentally.

I've been here for so long and I haven't seen Lao Yang holding a cigarette. This kid has treated him differently since he came here. It's very Lao Yang.

"Factory Director, Uncle Wang, I want to ask you guys something."

Lighting a cigarette, Yang Xiaotao tried to ask.

"My father mentioned it when he was still alive that our factory wasn't here before, right?"

Yang Xiaotao blamed everything on his dead father, but no one could find anything wrong with him.

Yang Youning was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Where is the original factory? I remember dad said that when the Japs surrendered, they blew up a lot of equipment. I..."

Wow

The chair slid back, and after hearing Yang Xiaotao's words, Yang Youning stood up quickly with a very wonderful expression on his face.

At this moment, Yang Youning's head was buzzing with memories buried in the deepest part.

That year, he was asked by his superiors to carry out revolutionary work in the steel rolling mill. At that time, the old factory director brought people like them who had come out of the war to come here. At that time, they had only half an understanding of managing the factory. Cross the river by feeling for the stones.

Scenes from the past and meetings kept emerging.

It's just that when he came to the steel rolling mill, it had already been relocated. As for what happened before liberation, he also knew something about it from the words of the old factory.

There are many people who know about those things.

But most of them have grown old or have taken a back seat, but not many.

At least, the Wang Guodong in front of him was unclear.

He looked at Yang Xiaotao seriously and said, "You mean, there is a batch of scrapped equipment there and you want to find materials?"

Yang Youning knew that what Yang Xiaotao said about his deceased father was purely a cover-up. He also knew exactly who said it.

However, at this moment he was more concerned about Yang Xiaotao's intentions.

If, if suitable materials can be found, the honors gained by their steel rolling mill will not be discounted.

"I want to take a look. It's the best I can find. It doesn't matter if I can't find it."

Yang Xiaotao is not sure whether the equipment is still there. After all, steel is being smelted all over the country. If the equipment is not available, these used equipment will be donated for smelting.

But it's better than drawing in the office.

"I'll call Sun Guo."

Yang Youning felt that asking this in advance would save money.

After a while, Sun Guo's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Old Sun, do you have a batch of damaged machinery and equipment in your branch factory?"

Yang Youning asked, but Sun Guo on the other end of the phone was a little strange.

After all, he took office in a hurry. After he took office, he had to dispatch personnel and organize production. This period of time was quite busy.

"I'll go find someone and ask. I'll call you back later."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Guo immediately called someone to find the logistics director.

At this time, Sun Guo was also wondering.

There is a lot of movement in the steel rolling mill, especially the establishment of new projects, and this time the project was directly established.

"Amazing!"

With a few words of emotion, Sun Guo became increasingly optimistic about the prospects of the steel rolling mill.

Of course, he has no regrets about coming to the No. 1 Branch Factory, and is even very satisfied with his original decision.

Because here, there is a stage for him to display his talents.

"Director, look for me!"

After a while, the director in charge of logistics ran over and looked at the director. Sun Guo nodded.

This person was specially promoted after he came to the first branch factory. He is upright, serious in work, and manages logistics very well.

"Well, Xiaolu, do you know that there are broken instruments in our factory?"

"Broken instruments? There are a lot of them in the library. Many machines have had accidents over the years. Our factory has hired people to repair them. The ones that can't be repaired are kept in there!"

"I'm talking about the useless machine left behind from before."

"previous?"

Director Lu thought for a while, and then suddenly said, "Director, are you talking about the scrap iron in the broken kiln? It is said that it was left over from the Jiefang brand. It was blown up and was thrown in there without anyone." Tube."

"Originally, last year I thought about turning it over to the state for scrap metal, but later I found it too troublesome, so I didn't report it."

When Sun Guo learned that it was indeed there, he immediately said, "You should find someone to clean it out immediately. Someone will check it later."

The director was stunned, "Check? Those things have been neglected for more than ten years, so why would you check this?"

Just seeing Sun Guo's solemn expression and thinking about the purge of the first branch factory a few days ago, he ran out immediately.

He didn't want to make a mistake because of this.

Sun Guo then called Yang Youning and explained the situation.

rolling mill

Yang Youning hung up the phone, feeling a surge of hope in his heart.

"The things should still be there, take a few people to take a look."

"By the way, ask Liu Daming to follow him. He used to work in a steel factory and happened to go to share the goods. This will save him from being mistaken."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and soon Liu Daming and Wang Hao arrived, accompanied by Pang Guo. He had research on steel. He heard Wang Hao talk about going downstairs to look for steel, and he followed him as he had nothing to do in the warehouse.

The four of them got into the jeep, Wang Hao drove, and Yang Xiaotao explained the situation. Liu Daming and Pang Guo both felt a sense of expectation in their hearts.

A branch factory.

The logistics director looked at the dilapidated brick kiln, which was filled with dust. Iron pieces scattered around the corner could be vaguely seen.

This is the open space behind the factory, surrounded by corn planted by villagers, and there are some garbage left by children in the broken kiln.

With the situation in front of him like this, the director looked back at the seven or eight logistics staff who had followed him, most of whom were women. After some mental calculation, he asked someone to clean up the outside first, and then returned to the factory to call for help.

Not long after, when the director came to the broken kiln again, he was followed by three people.

It was Yi Zhonghai, Shazhu and Xu Damao.

"Comrades, here are materials that are very important to the country. We must not miss any of them. We must clear them all out and wait for inspection by superiors."

"Comrades, for the sake of revolutionary construction, let's work hard and come on."

Director Lu shouted slogans, and several people from the logistics department around him responded.

Silly Zhu glanced at Xu Damao, curled his lips and shouted the same, a good man will not suffer the immediate disadvantages, a good attitude will also help him in his labor camp.

The three of them shouted a few words, and then several people entered the broken kiln and began to clean up.

"Master, where is this place? Why do you still have this thing?"

Shazhu endured the stench coming from inside and used a branch to push a black thing aside. Xu Damao was hit by the black thing and screamed. He jumped up immediately. He just glanced at the people around him and said bitterly, "Silly Zhu, please watch carefully and don’t get dirty things on revolutionary comrades.”

Silly Zhu sneered and said, my daughter hasn't punched out yet today.

This grandson is also a ghost and has been avoiding him. If the director hadn't called him out, who would have known he was hiding in the ditch?

"Master? Master?"

"Ah, oh!"

Yi Zhonghai was deep in thought. When he came here, he looked familiar.

When I walked into the broken kiln, looking at the iron pieces scattered on the ground and the machines piled up under the turning head, I immediately remembered where this was.

The former site of the steel rolling mill!

Unexpectedly, what I heard before actually happened.

After hearing Sha Zhu's call, Yi Zhonghai reacted and looked at the iron piece in Sha Zhu's hand.

"Master, if you don't get used to it, then you can kill me from behind. There are quite a lot of these things."

"fine."

"This should be the place where the old factory abandoned broken machines. I heard people say before that this was the site of the steel rolling mill before liberation. Later, it was bombed by the little devils and became useless, so it was moved to the city."

"What? These were all blown up by little devils? This stupid little devil is really not a toy."

Silly Zhu cursed the little devil, but it was more because the little devil caused him trouble.

If they hadn't blown up the machine, he wouldn't have come to work here and would have been guarding the toilet. How could he cope with it?

As for any feelings of family and country, you can't see them at all in him.

In a famine year, even if the cook is hungry, the little devil must also eat.

"Work quickly!"

The director's voice came from behind. Silly Zhu sighed in his heart and quickly helped to lift the machine out.

The machines in front of me were all blown up to a state of disarray. Two or three people could lift the bigger ones, and one person could hold thirty yuan for the smaller ones.

A dozen people helped to carry it out and clean it up. In the end, the remaining items were all large items, most of which were buried under the ground and were stained with rust.

After working for a while, Sun Guo came over with a few people.

Silly Zhu was resting aside. When he looked up, he immediately cursed.

"Damn it, why is this bastard here!"

Yi Zhonghai followed his gaze and saw Yang Xiaotao walking quickly behind Sun Guo.

Xu Damao saw Yang Xiaotao looking at him with that glamorous look on the side. Xu Damao lowered his head and minimized his presence.

"Xiao Tao, this is it."

"Director Lu, this is Comrade Yang Xiaotao from the steel rolling mill."

Sun Guo introduced at the front, and Director Lu immediately came forward to see him, "Director Yang, you are welcome to inspect the work."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Sun Guo. The latter remained calm and then understood. He went up to shake hands and asked, "Have all the things been moved out?"

"Director Yang, most of them have come out. There are still seven or eight that are seriously damaged but too big and have not been cleaned up."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and then saw Silly Zhu squatting on the ground and grinning at him. He ignored the monkey and nodded to Liu Daming and Pang Guo beside him. The two left and walked to the cleared 'junk pile' to start digging.

"Master, what else are they looking for?"

When it comes to technology, Shazhu always ranks first in his heart.

"It should be to find a component, or to find materials."

Yi Zhonghai watched Liu Daming pick up a palm-sized fragment and looked at it again and again, making guesses.

"That's it? It's all junk. They come here to pick up scraps."

"It's really hard for us to work it out."

Silly Zhu didn't say anything out loud, but Pang Guo suddenly shouted, "Team leader, look!"

"That's it, absolutely right."

Yang Xiaotao ran over quickly, looked at a finger-shaped iron bar, and examined it carefully.

"Pang Gong, are you sure?"

Yang Xiaotao suppressed his excitement and asked in a low voice. Pang Guo nodded vigorously, "That's right."

At this time, Liu Daming also came over with a piece of metal, "This piece is the same."

Behind him, Sun Guo saw that the two had found something and stepped forward to ask, "Would you like to go in and take a look."

The three nodded and quickly walked inside.

A moment later, Yang Xiaotao's angry voice was heard.

"You stupid little devil, I will grow mushrooms for you sooner or later."
