Scholars in the courtyard

Two days later, in the morning, courtyard.

Yang Xiaotao helped Ran Qiuye, who was wrapped in a scarf, get out of the car and slowly walked into the courtyard.

After lying in the hospital bed for six days, Ran Qiuye felt that his body was almost flabby.

On the third day, she felt that her body had recovered, and the sutured incision no longer hurt. She could not even feel the mark of the incision when she wiped it with her hand.

Regarding this matter, I was examined several times by Dr. Li. In the end, it was believed that Ran Qiuye recovered quickly because of his good physical condition.

However, Yang Xiaotao still asked her to stay in the hospital until now. She was not ready to be discharged from the hospital until she and her two daughters were fine.

Behind them, Ran's mother and Liu Yuhua each held their children, and the group slowly walked into the courtyard.

"We're home. Have a good confinement period and don't make trouble!"

Ran Qiuye showed her helplessness. She knew her own body well. This confinement period was really depressing.

"Let mom stay here with you during this period. Tell me what you want to eat and I'll cook it for you when you come back in the evening!"

"My grandpa will come to see the child in two days..."

As Yang Xiaotao said, many people came to the room, all coming to see the children.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao went to the yard to prepare fishing rods, planning to take advantage of the last day of "nursing leave" to catch some big fish to replenish Ran Qiuye's health.

Speaking of nursing leave, Yang Xiaotao personally requested it from Yang Youning.

Although the other party was very reluctant and even took out the machine tool to talk about it, Yang Xiaotao understood that he had done all the core parts, and the remaining parts were not a problem for Liu Daming and the others.

As long as you follow the drawings, it can be completed in two days.

He went back, just in time to assemble it.

Yang Youning couldn't convince him, and Yang Xiaotao really said it was "reasonable", so he had no choice but to agree!

As a result, the steel rolling mill had the first "nursing leave" for men!

In the room, Ran Qiuye was talking about how to tell which one is the elder sister and which one is the younger sister!

A group of women looked at the twin sisters with curiosity. This was the first time in this courtyard.

Little Duanwu sat aside, holding a piece of cucumber in his hand, biting it in his mouth and looking at the two sisters on the side from time to time. Whenever he wanted to go over and take a look, he would be hugged by Ran's mother.

Then the smiles filled the room again.

At the door of Jia's house, Mrs. Jia Zhang looked sideways at the sky with an expression of disdain.

But in my heart, I felt so uncomfortable.

Although it is a loser, it is still from the Yang family. It means that the population is prosperous and it means that Ran Qiuye can have children.

This time, the three children arrived directly at their home.

If there was another child in the future, whether it was a boy or a girl, wouldn't it be better than their family?

Thinking of being surpassed by the Yang family in terms of number of children, Jia Zhang felt alienated.

Glancing at the busy yard of the Yang family, there were people going to the front and back yards one after another, as if they were watching a movie.

Look in front of my house again, not even a bird has fallen.

"By the way, where is Qin Huairu? Where have you been all morning? No one is there!"

"Xiaodang, where is your mother?"

Xiaodang, who was holding the little Sophora japonica next to him, shook his head when he heard the cry.

At this time, Qin Huairu came from outside, carrying a flour bag in her hand. As soon as she entered the middle courtyard, she saw the situation of the Yang family, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared.

Jia Zhang glanced at the flour bag and immediately remembered that today was the day to receive food supplies.

Thanks to Qin Huairu, there is still a supply of food, otherwise their family...

Thinking of this, Jia Zhang looked at Yang Xiaotao in the yard with even more resentment.

"You earn so much money but you don't know how to help others, and you have a bad heart. These two losers are your retribution!"

Pooh!

Turning around and following the gloomy-looking Qin Huairu into the house, Jia's door slammed shut.

On the other side, Yang Xiaotao packed up, nodded to Wangcai, and prepared to ride out.

But as soon as he left the courtyard and before he left the middle courtyard, he saw Chen Gong running from outside the courtyard, followed by Wang Hao.

The two met in the yard. When Chen Gong saw Yang Xiaotao, the flesh on his face began to tremble.

I think of him working hard in the rolling mill, working hard on the machine tools, contacting this and that.

If the motor doesn’t work, call to order it. If there isn’t enough steel, call someone. There’s not enough material...

This guy is here and has taken seven days off!

I still have to go fishing...

I...bastard!

Yang Xiaotao saw Chen Gong suddenly standing not far away, and his expression changed. He was definitely not here to see the child.

He quickly put the fishing rod behind his back, but forgot that the fishing rod was so long, how could he block it all?

He could only say angrily, "Chen, Uncle Chen, I'm going to catch some fish for my mother to recuperate."

"You also know that these two children eat a lot, drink some fish soup, and make milk!"

"I definitely don't mean to be lazy..."

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao couldn't hide it, he could only take it out generously and gave a lot of valid reasons.

"I believe you, you big-headed devil!"

Chen Gong said angrily, and then walked into the house.

Yang Xiaotao put down his things with a smile and hurriedly greeted him.

Everyone in the courtyard knew Chen Gong and hurriedly came out of the house.

Ran Qiuye saw Chen Gong coming and stood up to greet him. Chen Gong quickly waved her hand to rest.

Chen Gong entered the room and took a look at Yang Xiaotao's three children. The daughter was still too young to tell, but the boy was tiger-headed and dexterous, just like Yang Xiaotao.

"You kid, you're still fishing when you're so leisurely?"

Coming to the living room from the house, Chen Gong said angrily, "I wonder if Lao Yang and I are almost exhausted?"

"Flying Eagle's orders have surged, and all the machines in ten workshops are busy smoking."

"And the machine tool, the parts are all ready, just waiting for you to go back and assemble it. When you're ready, huh, go back and tell Lao Yang and watch him take care of you."

"Seven days and nursing leave, you are amazing."

As Chen Gong spoke, Yang Xiaotao smiled apologetically. He didn't turn to the topic until he finished speaking, feeling sullen in his heart.

"Uncle Chen, you came all the way just to scratch my pigtails, right?"

"Hmph, you think I am willing."

Chen Gong glanced at him and said, "If Lao Yang hadn't gone to Zhao Lao Liu to talk about something, I wouldn't have had time to come."

"At one o'clock this afternoon, Mr. Xia is going to hold a meeting in the Great Hall. Factory leaders from dozens of important factories in Four-Nine City must attend."

"Mr. Xia? Meeting in the Great Hall? What's going on?"

"I don't know the details. When Lao Yang called, he went directly to Lao Liu and asked me to come and take you with him. Let's go find out the news as soon as possible."

After Chen Gong finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao nodded.

"I'll tell you, please wait for me."

Yang Xiaotao walked quickly to the house, explained the situation to Ran Qiuye, then went back to the house, picked up a notebook, and went out with a pen.

The two left the courtyard and got into the jeep, then started the car and ran towards the assembly hall.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, the car stopped at the entrance of the General Assembly Hall.

Seeing a long series of white steps with many people walking forward, Yang Xiaotao and the two quickly got out of the car and walked up.

"Old Chen."

They didn't take two steps when they heard someone shouting from behind. The two stopped and turned around, just in time to see Factory Sun from the machine repair shop leading a few people over, including deputy director Ding Xiangjun.

"Old Sun, you are here too."

"Well, I rushed over immediately after receiving the call."

"Do you know what's going on?"

"Not sure"

The two of them lowered their heads and walked forward. Yang Xiaotao and Ding Xiangjun came together, "I heard that they have added two more daughters?"

"Haha, those are two little cotton-padded jackets. Are you envious?"

"Why are you envious? My wife is about to give birth. When the time comes, she will give birth to a son who will make you envious."

"Tch, there's nothing to envy about having a son. You also have to buy a house and arrange a job."

Yang Xiaotao counted on his fingers. Ding Xiangjun on the side looked like a "fool" after hearing this, and couldn't help but move away.

Is there anyone who doesn’t like his son these days?

The two of them had already reached the door while they were talking, and then entered one after another after being searched by a kind of guard.

"Lao Chen, Xiao Tao, this way."

After walking a few steps, Yang Xiaotao heard Yang Youning's voice, and Liu Huaimin stood beside him.

The two people stepped forward. Yang Xiaotao took a look and saw that there were quite a few people coming.

"Uncle Wang didn't come?"

"He looked at the factory."

After Yang Youning finished speaking, he told the two people what he heard.

"Blocked abroad? What do you mean, we won't be able to buy machines in the future?"

After hearing what Yang Youning meant, Yang Xiaotao asked in surprise.

"Nine times out of ten."

Liu Huaimin responded.

"Then what is this meeting for?"

"Mr. Xia is presiding over this meeting. I don't know the details, but it seems to be a very important task."

After hearing this, several people felt solemn.

If you can’t import it from abroad, you have to make it yourself.

But building things can never be solved by shouting a few slogans.

If shouting slogans worked, it would have happened long ago.

It won't stay until now.

It was the madness during that period that produced a large number of substandard products, which not only consumed materials, but also consumed people's enthusiasm for excellence.

After Liu Huaimin finished speaking, he still had other arrangements to make, and the three of them were guided to their seats by the staff.

The third row from the front is considered forward.

Soon, the back was filled with people.

Only then did Yang Xiaotao see how many heavy industries there were in Forty-Nine City. At this moment, it was best to have one or two hundred people.

Based on the calculation of one person and three people, it is about eighty or ninety.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the rear door slammed shut.

Then Mr. Xia, accompanied by Liu Huaimin and others, came to the rostrum and sat down.

The people around him immediately cheered up.

Mr. Xia first glanced at the people around him, his face was serious, and his expression was even more solemn.

"Comrades!"

Mr. Xia stood up directly and said, "I invite you all to come here today. I have something to tell you."

Then Mr. Xia told everyone the previous news, and the meeting room immediately began to discuss among themselves.

Chen Gong even came closer and whispered in Yang Xiaotao's ear, "It seems that what Lao Liu said is right. He may have arranged a task this time."

Yang Xiaotao nodded.

Sure enough, after Mr. Xia finished speaking, he spoke again after a moment of silence.

"In view of the current situation and after discussions with superiors, I once again announced the focus of the next work."

"First, from today on, all factories will strictly enforce internal discipline. Factory leaders must take the lead. Any violations of laws and disciplines, or any inaction, will be dealt with severely."

"Second, we must complete the tasks assigned by our superiors on time. We will improve by 10% to 20% based on the current tasks completed by each factory."

"Third, based on the needs of our country's revolutionary construction, we will issue short-term tasks to each factory, including but not limited to innovation, innovation, technological progress, improved processes, etc. Once requirements are issued, each factory must Completed within time.”

Mr. Xia said something unpleasant, Yang Xiaotao quickly wrote down the contents in his notebook, and so did the people around him.

After everyone digested the three musts just now, their faces became solemn.

Yang Xiaotao clearly saw cold sweat breaking out on the forehead of a middle-aged man next to him, maybe it was because of the heat.

Next to him, Chen Gong looked at the three musts, turned his head to communicate with Yang Youning, and then the two of them looked at Yang Xiaotao in unison.

Being watched inexplicably, Yang Xiaotao quickly lowered his head and seriously understood the three musts.

"Comrades."

Mr. Xia spoke again.

"The situation is not optimistic. I hope that everyone can work together to tide over this difficulty."

"I also know that some things are actually forcing everyone, but there is no way. If I don't force you, the revolutionary construction will force us, and the workers will outperform us."

"So, here, I'll be the first to say the ugly things."

"If you have any difficulties, you can raise them, but the task must be completed."

"If you can't complete the task, let someone who can complete the task come."

"If you don't do well, don't blame us for replacing someone."

Mr. Xia said these words so coldly that everyone present felt a chill on their foreheads and tensed up their backs.

"Now, let's break up the meeting. The tasks will be distributed to various factories later."

"I hope that everyone will unite as one, develop industry, be self-reliant, and revitalize the nation."

brush

People on the left and right stood up.

"Unite together, develop industry, be self-reliant, and revitalize the nation."
