"Yes, welcome to Jingao."

Wang Lian appeared beside her at some point, and said happily, interrupting Yang Xiaotao's thoughts.

"You're an entourage, it's been a hard journey."

Yang Xiaotao didn't explain, after all, a young man came out of a bunch of old men, which was really unacceptable.

"Okay."

The two chatted for a while, and Yang Xiaotao confirmed that this person was from the machinery factory and the logistics director.

Then the crowd came to a truck, threw the salute into the car, and then got into the car.

"After a while, you will have a good rest at the station, and the factory leaders will entertain you in the evening."

"Are you from Forty-Nine City? It's not close. ”

Sitting in the car, Wang Lian said to everyone in the carriage.

Everyone also looked at the unfamiliar environment and looked at the surrounding scene.

The car starts and moves slowly.

The bumpy road surface makes people slob from time to time.

Yang Xiaotao looked out through the gap in his cloak.

On the earthy yellow road, there was a pothole from time to time, and when the car passed by, many children ran behind.

They laughed and screamed, as novel as the children of Sijiu City, with innocent smiles on their faces.

A group of workers in blue overalls laughed and walked down the road, and when their footsteps fell, black and white cloth shoes always brought up a cloud of dust.

In the air, the sound of factory horns was faintly heard, and the passionate slogans continued to come, making the walking people full of enthusiasm.

This is probably an industrial area.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the surrounding buildings, although they are not tall or dense, but compared to the scenes along the way, this place is full of industrial atmosphere.

Skip the houses and look up into the distance.

The mountains in the distance are undulating, emerald green and black, and only the silhouette can be seen.

Like Yang Xiaotao, everyone looked at the unfamiliar environment.

The car circled around through a dense factory area and then a little further north, where the surrounding buildings began to thin out until it drove into a factory and then stopped in front of a small three-story building made of red brick.

Everyone got out of the car, Wang Lian led people upstairs, and then arranged a room for each person.

Yang Xiaotao walked into the house, a room and a living room, a table, a bed, a mattress on the bed, pillows and quilts were stacked neatly, and there was an enamel basin under the bed, and there was a white enamel jar and a green iron thermos in it.

After putting the salute and daily necessities on the table, Yang Xiaotao got up and went out after tidying up the bed.

When you come to an unfamiliar environment, you always have to take a turn.

On the left side of the door is Liu Daming's residence, and he is already lying on the bed at this time and doesn't want to move, Yang Xiaotao waved his hand when he went to call, not interested.

Yang Xiaotao had to go downstairs alone.

Downstairs, two soldiers stuck to their posts, and one of them was older and hurriedly stepped forward when he saw Yang Xiaotao going downstairs.

"Hello, comrade, how do you need help?"

"No, I just want to come down and take a walk." Yang Xiaotao said, the man nodded, didn't ask much, just followed Yang Xiaotao.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao walked to the factory.

Half an hour later.

"Xiao Yang, we were a family five hundred years ago."

"This is just coming to the machine, and it's being loaded inside. I won't let in! ”

"This is the cafeteria, are you hungry? There is ramen in the cafeteria, I will take you to eat at noon, and the food stamps are the same price as steamed buns. ”

Yang Xiaotao lit a cigarette and looked at the surrounding buildings, and the soldiers who followed him also had cigarettes in their hands, and there was a half-pack of large front doors in their pockets.

That's right, Yang Xiaotao hired a guide for half a pack of cigarettes and took a general look around the factory.

"Lao Yang, ramen, is there any meat? Is it beef? ”

Yang Xiaotao remembered the "chain stores" that opened all over the country in later generations.

"This! Anyway, there is oil and water in the soup. ”

Well, in the future, there are a few pieces of meat in a bowl, and even the meat is gone.

"What is that place?"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly looked into the distance, where there was a row of low factories, which looked very ordinary, but there were many soldiers on duty at the door.

Asked about this, Lao Yang hurriedly pulled him away, "Xiao Yang, that is a place where you can't go." ”

"Don't ask, don't ask, don't look for it. Just don't see it, you know? ”

Lao Yang's face was serious, and Yang Xiaotao immediately understood that there was a secret in it.

"I know, I don't see it, I don't know!"

The two of them smoked cigarettes and hurried away, in case they were caught as enemies, they would not be able to return home.

"Xiao Yang, is Sijiu City big?"

"Big, big!"

"How many people are there?"

"Many, many!"

"You ......"

The two talked all the way, and it wasn't until they returned to the dormitory that Yang Xiaotao lay on the bed, digesting the news they heard.

This is the largest general machinery manufacturing plant in Jingao, and it is also a national key project.

Originally, there were a lot of woolly bear experts here, but after the experts left, some projects fell into a bottleneck, and Yang Xiaotao guessed that they might have come for this purpose.

From Lao Yang's mouth, I learned that in order to prepare for accommodation, they cleared out the entire building, dozens of houses, obviously more than a few of them.

Thinking that Yang Youning said that there are ten of the best in Sijiu City, then other places will also send people.

After thinking for a while, Yang Xiaotao heard the sound of cars coming from outside again, and looked at the window, and more than a dozen people came down and walked into the dormitory building under the leadership of Wang Lian.

Bang bang bang

There was a knock on the door, and Yang Xiaotao got out of bed and opened the door.

"Liu Gong."

Yang Xiaotao welcomed Liu Daming into the room and sat down.

"I saw the people from the North No. 3 Machinery Repair Plant just now, but I didn't expect them to come too."

"North No. 3 Machine Repair Factory?"

"Yes, that's right, the one who leads, who is very arrogant and has a mustache, is the master of Beisan."

"This old boy, hum!"

Liu Daming said, with disdain on his face.

But the person who can be remembered by him is definitely not simple.

Liu Daming is like this, and Yang Xiaotao suspects that he has suffered a loss from a mustache.

"This time, they're here, we can't afford to lose."

"I lost, but I lost the faces of my colleagues in Sijiu City."

Liu Daming said solemnly.

Yang Xiaotao just nodded and did not speak.

He has his own cognition, he will judge right and wrong, and will not make wrong choices because of personal feelings.

However, if it is a comparison of craftsmanship, he really has no other ideas.

As long as you can do it well, you can do it.

Liu Daming talked about the grievances with Beisan back then, but he still looked down on it technically and looked down on it, so Yang Xiaotao listened to it as a story.

Waiting for Liu Daming to leave, Yang Xiaotao continued to lie down, closing his eyes and resting.

Outside, from time to time, bicycles drove in, and people kept getting out of the bikes and walking into the house.

Yang Xiaotao They came first, lived on the second floor, and the second floor was full and went up to the third floor, and various dialects came from time to time in the entire corridor, which made Yang Xiaotao very curious, what kind of task is it, talking about so many people in a hurry?

"Is it really hand-rubbed mushrooms?"

"No, mushrooms shouldn't be needed."

Looking at the cement roof, Yang Xiaotao fell into deep thought.

In the evening, the crowd went downstairs amid a shout.

is still Wang Lian, the capable logistics director, who shows her white teeth when she speaks, with the heroism unique to Northwest girls.

A group of people walked out the door, then looked at the unfamiliar faces left and right, but they were friendly inquiries, and then saw acquaintances, and nodded and hugged with a smile.

Just like now, Liu Daming shook hands with the mustache with a smile on his face, and there was no unhappiness on the faces of the two.

Yang Xiaotao is not surprised, after all, everyone is an adult.

Everyone greeted each other and asked each other about their origins, not bursting out of laughter, but also cordial greetings.

Yang Xiaotao counted, there were about forty people, but they were all old men with gray hair.

And he is the only young man.

Everyone was communicating, and Yang Xiaotao also knew that this time there were really people from all over the world.

The northern, southern, and western ones also have them, each speaking with a local accent, and some of them speak like Goryeo, not to mention the abrupt ones, even if they listen to the words word by word, they don't know what they mean.

There are more people in the south, and they can be heard in Goryeo compared to it.

However, the language barrier does not prevent everyone from getting to know each other.

It's clear that all those who come here have two brushes.

Yang Xiaotao also met the mustache and Tang Shanlin.

The eighth-level fitter master of North Three Machinery.

However, listening to Niu Jianfeng's inquiry, the most outstanding person in this Beisan Machinery selection is a middle-aged man named Wan Jiyuan, whose skills are more refined than Tang Shanlin, and he ranked first in the selection.

Similarly, there is Chen Chonghan from the Jinling manufacturing factory in the south, who is tall and has no worse skills than Wan Ji.

Although the fame of the two did not spread throughout the country, they were also well-known in the local area.

And they are all people in the circle, and everyone knows it in their hearts.

Yang Xiaotao walked among a group of middle-aged and elderly people, and from time to time he heard the sound of talking, and someone vaguely said his name.

Wang Lian led the way in front, and everyone followed towards the cafeteria.

It is similar to the canteen of the rolling mill, with long tables and benches, which can seat three people at a time, and eight or nine people at a table.

Everyone sat down casually, Yang Xiaotao was next to Liu Daminghou to defend, and a few people came out of Sijiu City.

In an unfamiliar environment, people will always choose to get together with people they know, which is called reporting for warmth.

And when they were all sitting down, three or five men came in from the outside.

The first man had a yellow complexion, a lean face full of wrinkles, large eyes that were about to bulge out, and a gray hair on his head.

He was followed by several people, all of whom also had malnourished faces.

This group of people came over and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Hello everyone!"

Wang Lian stepped forward quickly and began to introduce.

"This is Secretary Wang of our factory, and he is here to welcome everyone."

Bang bang bang

Saying that, he took the lead in applauding, and everyone hurriedly got up, and Yang Xiaotao followed and clapped his hands.

didn't notice that Liu Daming on the side was staring at one person in the crowd in a daze.

"Welcome to Jingao!"

Secretary Wang spoke, his voice loud.

"This time, we will gather everyone from Tiannan and Haibei, that is, we have an important task entrusted to you, and I hope that you can overcome all difficulties and ensure the successful completion of the task."

"Do you have faith?"

"Yes!"

"Well, this is the spirit of our revolutionary workers."

Secretary Wang said, his tall and thin fingers patted the person in front of him, "Here, the conditions are hard, everyone must be mentally prepared, what needs in life, we must say, we will try our best to meet..."

Secretary Wang said a little and quickly beckoned the service staff of the factory to start serving.

The crowd sat down and waited for the meal to begin.

After a few moments, the meal was ready.

Two dishes, one plate of fried peanuts and one plate of fried cabbage, no meat.

Then each person has a large bowl with a ball of ramen noodles floating on top with a little green onion.

Sure enough, Yang Xiaotao saw what it means to have hard conditions.

If this is in the rolling mill, Yang Youning entertains a group of eighth-level masters, and such a dish will be shabby when taken out.

A large factory with thousands of people, just give this to the guests?

No leader with a brain would be like that.

And here, exactly that's right.

It can only be said that these are the best!
