On the other hand, Yang Xiaotao's life is a lot more leisurely.

There was an extra teacher in the school, and Ran Qiuye had more time, so he went home from school and took care of the children at home.

In the courtyard, Liu Yuhua hugged Xiaoyu and Ran Qiuye hugged Xiao Dragon Boat Festival, and the two could talk all day.

In the evening, all the people in the compound gathered, listened to the radio broadcast, and chatted together.

The old man flashed his fan, watching the children chase and fight, shouting from time to time; Women are at home, what is the life of whom, whose children are older and should marry a daughter-in-law, who has not yet given birth to children; The men got together, played chess and cards, and from time to time there were quarrels.

Outside of work, enjoy the good times of life.

Yang Xiaotao found that since he had a child, Ran Qiuye had less time to read.

Sure enough, when a woman has a child, her heart changes.

After the work of the rolling mill stabilized and the drawings were handed over, the production of steam tractors began in various places, and while the flow was shared, the number of machinery used in various places increased.

Yang Xiaotao estimated in his heart that if this continues, it will not take a few years for every village in the rural areas in the north to have one.

This is a huge benefit for farming, and together with the cultivation of hybrid corn, food production will increase year by year.

Of course, only if all goes well.

Putting down the book, Yang Xiaotao got up and went out, and saw many people in the yard enjoying the shade under the big locust tree, so he also walked over.

Today is Sunday, and there is a lot of noise in the courtyard.

Ran Qiuye is exchanging parenting experience with Liu Yuhua, although she is also a novice.

There was a small cart on each side of the two, and the two children were lying in it, making noises from time to time.

This small car is naturally Yang Xiaotao's masterpiece.

The relationship between the two families is there, and it doesn't take much effort to talk about a small car.

"Daughter-in-law, what do you want to eat at noon?"

Yang Xiaotao walked over, and his daughter-in-law made Ran Qiuye a little cramped in front of everyone.

"You can just get some."

hurriedly replied, Yang Xiaotao sat aside, stretched out his fingers and put them in Xiaoyu's palm, the little hand was soft and thin.

Unlike the Little Dragon Boat Festival, it is fleshy, and the fingers are almost inseparable.

"Want to eat fish? There is also a carp in the tank, which is just right to make braised carp. ”

"yes, I like to eat!"

Liu Yuhua immediately agreed, and Ran Qiuye was not surprised, now Liu Yuhua and Zhou Kui eat more at their house than at their own house.

Among them, the most important thing is that Yang Xiaotao's cooking is too delicious.

Even Chef Zhang of the second canteen may not be able to catch up.

In this regard, Ran Qiuye is full of pride.

The man in his own house can earn money, cook, and work.

Seeing Liu Yuhua's eyes, knowing her thoughts, he took the opportunity to say, "Then make braised fish, I want to eat it too." ”

Ran Qiuye said softly, and Liu Yuhua immediately laughed.

"Okay."

Yang Xiaotao happily agreed, "When the time comes, give Xiaoyu fish soup, okay?" ”

Yang Xiaotao moved Xiaoyu's fingers, looking like.

"Autumn leaves, Brother Tao likes his daughter so much, you hurry up and have another one, just find a companion for Xiaoyu."

"That's right, Mr. Ran, next time I give birth to a girl, just follow my father."

"That's it, both of them have big eyes, and they must be good-looking when they give birth to a girl."

The surrounding courtyards were all coaxing, and Yang Xiaotao also nodded silently, "Yes, Qiuye, next time I will give birth to a girl." ”

"My daughter is my father's little padded jacket! I like the little padded jacket the most! ”

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's shameless words, Ran Qiuye immediately glanced at him.

Who avoids it every time, it's embarrassing to say.

As if feeling Ran Qiuye's resentment, Yang Xiaotao hurriedly turned around, not daring to tease, otherwise he would have to hand in his homework again tonight.

Everyone laughed, and Qin Huairu, who was washing clothes on the side, snapped his sleeves, as if he had smashed the grievances, resentment, and only pride in his heart.

At home, they are still carefully eating a few nests, and they have all eaten fish, and they are not afraid of being hated.

However, hearing that Yang Xiaotao likes his daughter, it was uncomfortable again.

In these years, a girl is a loser, even if she is also a woman, Jia Zhang also said so, because she did it herself.

Qin Huairu thought of her parents at home, and over the years, the relationship had faded.

So Yang Xiaotao said this, it was all love for Ran Qiuye.

After all, no one can guarantee that they will have a son every time, but Yang Xiaotao is willing to accept this result.

It's not like the one who died in her family, and it's not like her own daughter to her daughter.

Looking up at the happy Ran Qiuye, the face that glows with glory is even more delicate.

Looking down at his fingers, Qin Huairu suppressed the sourness in his heart and continued to work.

As for the rumbling of their stomachs, their family has already eaten twice a day.

"What a little padded jacket, when the time comes, it will leak for you, see if you cry."

scolded in his heart, and then looked at Xiao Dang playing in the courtyard, as well as Jia Zhang's who hit the door, and felt sad, "It can't be like this!" ”

The thought that had been hesitating at this moment suddenly became firm.

Just when Yang Xiaotao got up and was about to cook, a person hurriedly ran in the yard.

Everyone looked up, and then looked at Yang Xiaotao.

The person who came was Yang Youning's secretary, Xiaoqiang.

"Section Chief Yang, Director Yang asked you to go to the factory quickly, there is a task, and I am in a hurry."

Xiaoqiang said, wiping his sweat.

Running in from the alley, I didn't stop along the way, and I sweated a lot.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao wondered what urgency the rolling mill could have on the weekend.

"You wait for me."

After saying that, I went back to the house and changed my shoes, and then I came out.

"Daughter-in-law, make something to eat yourself."

"Okay, slow down."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, picked two melons from the yard, took the water and flushed it, threw one to Xiaoqiang, and followed out.

"Did you say anything?"

"Don't know?"

Xiaoqiang nibbled on the melon, it was so sweet.

"A good thing?"

"I don't know, but the director is serious."

"Who is participating?"

"All the workshop directors, and some eighth-level workers."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao felt a little unsettled in his heart and sped up.

The jeep left quickly, and there was another gossip in the yard.

Came to the rolling mill, entered the office building, came to the conference room.

Several workshop directors were together, and on the other side, Yang Xiaotao also saw Liu Daming, as well as Yi Zhonghai at the end, and his heart was even tighter.

These are all eighth-level fitters in the factory!

Something happened!

"Here, come and sit!"

Wang Guodong pointed to the stool beside him, and Yang Xiaotao hurriedly found a place to sit down.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a little solemn, "Uncle Wang, what's the situation?" ”

"I don't know, I also called from home."

"I haven't even eaten!"

Sun Guo also said on the side, and then came to Yang Xiaotao's side, "For a while, talk less and listen more!" ”

Yang Xiaotao nodded.

At this time, Yang Youning and Chen Gong walked in, and then the door closed.

"It's all here. There is something to do. ”

Yang Youning didn't sit down, and stood and spoke directly.

The conference room was even more solemn.

"I received an urgent notice from my superiors that there were no factories in Sijiu City, so I dispatched excellent fitters to the northwest to support production."

"We have three places in the rolling mill."

"There is only one request, and the best fitters will be selected as soon as possible to support the front line!"

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they went to the northwest to support.

This kind of thing has happened before, but it is not beautiful, many people have gone, and now they have not returned.

The conference room was heavy, not relaxed because of the small number of places, but even heavier because of this request.

The finest fitters.

They are all level eight, who admits that they are worse than others?

What's more, the meaning behind this kind of thing.

Yang Xiaotao is young and unclear, but many of the old people present understand that once these people are selected...

Last time, Liu Daming's apprentice left the rolling mill in this way, and he hasn't seen anyone until now.

I don't know whether I live or die, and I don't hear from him.

If it weren't for the money tickets issued by the rolling mill every month, who would still remember him?

Several people looked at Liu Daming on the side, and Yang Xiaotao could feel the grief and anger on the old man.

But this task can't be done, the top has gone down to the rolling mill, they must complete it, and they must complete it with quality and quantity.

Yang Youning looked left and right, and finally looked at Yang Xiaotao.

In his heart, Yang Xiaotao's skills are undoubted, in this rolling mill, he is the first fitter, and no one objects.

It's just that now he's an engineer, and there's a lot of work to do.

The reason is reasonable, but you can go or not.

In his heart, Yang Youning still wants to keep Yang Xiaotao, who knows what will happen this time?

There are still a lot of things going on in the rolling mill, without him, if something happens technically, they really can't do anything, they always feel that they lack the backbone.

Yang Xiaotao felt Yang Youning's gaze, and Wang Guodong beside him reached out and pulled his sleeve.

There was a warning in his eyes.

Yang Xiaotao sat there, fighting fiercely in his heart.

This urgent mission is likely to be related to next year's Rock Breaker.

It's always a pity not to witness such an important moment.

It's just that now he is not alone, he has a family, a daughter-in-law, a son, a friend, a brother.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao frowned, unable to make up his mind.

"You are all excellent fitters in the factory, I hope you can have the courage to undertake this task and contribute your own strength to the country and the nation."

Yang Youning looked at the congregation, especially lingering on a few fitters, and there was no superfluous expression on his face.

At this time, the secretary Xiaoqiang knocked on the door and came in, and when he talked about Secretary Liu's phone, Yang Youning hurriedly ran out.

Chen Gong thought about it for a while, and also went to inquire about the news.

The room immediately fried the pot and discussed with each other.

Especially the master fitter who was called, he was struggling in his heart, with his family on the one hand and the country on the other.

If you are an ordinary person, it will not be so difficult to choose.

But they are different, and they know that there is no home without a country.

But when it comes to the end, it is still difficult to choose.

Wang Guodong began to tell Yang Xiaotao about the previous events, and several people looked heavy.

Yang Xiaotao also calmed down.

Yi Zhonghai was the last in the crowd, calculating in his heart.

He is an old man in the rolling mill, and naturally he experienced what happened last time.

I was silently thinking about it.

Last time, he deliberately released water and was not chosen.

And as it turned out, it was right not to go.

Otherwise, let alone finding someone to support the elderly, I don't know if these four or nine cities can come back.

But this time, it's different.

Three years of labor reform!

He also wants to finish, go home, and work hard for future generations.

Now, because he is far away from the courtyard, his control over Qin Huairu is getting lower and lower, especially recently, Qin Huairu and Guo Da are a little ambiguous, which makes him vigilant.

Qin Huairu was the object he had chosen, if he flew out of the courtyard, where would he find such a good tool?

It's just that what if you go and can't come back? It's better to wait three years!

Yi Zhonghai thought of the possible consequences and was a little worried.

Old and dead in a foreign land, there is not even a descendant, desolate!

Hesitant in my heart, like the people around me, uneasy.

Da-da-da

Hurried footsteps came, and Yang Youning walked in.

There was still seriousness on his face.

"After thinking about it, did anyone take the initiative to sign up?"

After speaking, everyone looked at a few fitters on the side.

No one spoke, and several of them were even more flushed, their fists clenched together, their arms shaking.

"Me!"

"I'll go!"

Unexpectedly, there was incredulity in everyone's eyes.

"Xiao Tao, you, you've thought about it!"

Wang Guodong almost jumped up and reached out to pull Yang Xiaotao's arm.

His expression was serious, and he spoke with a tremble.

"Uncle Wang, if the country needs me, what do I have to hesitate!"

"Besides, I'm young!"

"You! You! ”

Wang Guodong slapped the table, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart.

Yang Xiaotao stood up, his eyes firm.

But in my heart I think more.

Now, what tasks does the state have to use them?

Nine times out of ten, it had something to do with that.

So, what is there to hesitate about, what is there to scruple about?

Besides, how long is it until a mushroom egg?

It's a year and a half.

When he went, his family would be worried, but he would be uncomfortable for a while.

But if he doesn't go, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

This choice, he believed, Ran Qiuye would understand.

It will be supported as well.

He was also convinced that this was the most meaningful thing he could do in this world.
