Night is starting to fall, and the daylight is getting longer, but it's still dark when it's time to leave.

After the New Year, the weather was not good, and it was still cold and windy.

Yang Xiaotao rode a bicycle to the gate, Zhao Chuanjun and Wang Guodong were smoking together, and when they saw Yang Xiaotao coming over, they hurriedly recruited.

"I said both of you, both of you are off work, why don't you go home yet?"

Yang Xiaotao put the car under the car and refused the cigarettes handed over by Wang Guodong, which was about to arrive home, and the smell of smoke was not good for children.

"Xiao Tao, why hasn't there been any movement today?"

Wang Guodong asked, at the end of this day, he was always apprehensive, or rather expectant.

Looking forward to the benefits of this practice for rolling mills.

"Movement? How can it be so fast? ”

Yang Xiaotao smiled, "Uncle Wang, we have to calm down, the lower this spring is pressed, the higher it will bounce, and the greater the surprise." ”

Wang Guodong nodded when he heard this, and could only wait slowly.

Yang Xiaotao saw that the two were fine, so he stretched out his legs and kicked and rode out of the rolling mill.

Looking at Yang Xiaotao's distant back, Wang Guodong suddenly asked Zhao Chuanjun, "Old Zhao, have you noticed that Xiaotao is very calm." ”

Zhao Chuanjun glanced at Wang Guodong, "At least it's calmer than us." ”

"Well, that's what you said. This kid has been calm since he was a child. ”

Wang Guodong remembered his previous days in the third workshop as he spoke, and couldn't help laughing.

No matter what happens to Yang Xiaotao in the future, the mark of the third workshop on his body will never be erased.

"Let's go, let's wait for this."

Zhao Chuanjun nodded, asked the people from the security department to strengthen the defense, and the two hooked up and left.

And this wait is three days.

On this day, Yang Xiaotao got up from the gentle township, with excitement on his face.

I remembered a sentence I once saw, no matter how powerful a woman is, there are times when she falls into the wind.

And once a woman gives her heart to a man, she will continue to break the bottom line of her heart for this man.

"Daughter-in-law, where do you want to go around the weekend the day after tomorrow?"

Yang Xiaotao was dressed, Ran Qiuye tightened the quilt, revealing his snow-white neck, "You still have time?" ”

"How could it not be, this time is like that, there is still a crowd!"

Saying that, looking at the quilt, Ran Qiuye understood in seconds, and immediately turned his back.

"Alas, daughter-in-law!"

"Where to arrange it the day after tomorrow, I'll take you there."

"Okay, it's been a long time since I've been to the library, and it's time to return the books at home."

Ran Qiuye thought about it for a while, there was really no good place to go this day, so he went to the library to have a look.

"Okay, I'll go to the library, I haven't seen Master Gu for a long time, and I haven't seen Master Gu for a long time, so I don't have a good old age."

After getting dressed, Yang Xiaotao went out and saw two nests on the table, and there was a boiled egg next to it, Yang Xiaotao picked up one and walked out.

Out of the middle courtyard, I saw Qin Huairu wearing a cotton shirt wrapped in a headscarf to go out, and after a closer look, his face was indeed a little wrong, he was more yellow than before, and his cheeks were thinner, and his chin was even more retracted.

Listening to Ran Qiuye, recently, there have been frequent howls from Jia Zhang's family in Jia's family, and if he can't get it, he will say that his daughter-in-law bullied her mother-in-law and didn't give her food.

Now it seems that it should be really difficult at home, otherwise people like Qin Huairu would not starve themselves.

The two walked to the front yard one after the other.

Many people in the yard also went out to work, and a group of rolling mill workers gathered together, striding and walking, talking and laughing constantly.

Of course, in front of Yang Xiaotao, everyone is still more restrained, and they can also lower their voices when they speak.

When he got out of the compound, Yang Xiaotao pedaled the car away in twos and threes, and when he passed by Qin Huairu, he also looked at it, Qin Huairu was holding a small burden in his hand, and it didn't look like he was going to work in the street.

When he came to the rolling mill, a banner had been hung at the gate, and Yang Xiaotao realized that the day after tomorrow was Women's Day.

'Women can hold up half the sky, and women in the rolling mill will compete for the lead. ’

'Celebrate Women's Day with great enthusiasm. ’

Banners hung on the side of the road, reminding everyone that Women's Day was coming.

Workers walking back and forth are also talking about whether the factory will send out something on Women's Day, and what it will be.

"It seems that I will prepare a gift for Autumn Leaves the day after tomorrow."

Yang Xiaotao thought about putting the bicycle away, and was just about to go upstairs to the office, when there was a sound of car brakes behind him.

Yang Xiaotao turned around, a jeep stopped in front of him, and then saw the door being pushed open, Yang Youning jumped down from the co-pilot, that vigorous action made Yang Xiaotao believe that Liu Dehui said, jumping out of the car in this era is the basic skill of the driver.

"Director, you're back."

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, but Yang Youning went up to hold Yang Xiaotao's arm and walked quickly to the office.

"Let's go, tell me about the situation, what's going on?"

"Factory director, didn't you make it clear on the phone?"

"Let's talk about it."

The two walked all the way to the factory director's office, and the secretary Xiaoqiang hurriedly went out to fetch water to make tea.

"I'll take the train as soon as I get off the train, and I haven't returned home."

Yang Youning poured a sip of water, and then asked with a strong spirit, "What about the letter?" Tell me, how did you deal with it? ”

On the way to the train, he couldn't make a phone call, and he was in a hurry, for fear that a few people in the rolling mill would mess things up.

Yang Xiaotao saw Yang Youning's appearance and hurriedly explained the matter clearly.

"Handed over to Lao Liu? That's good, that's good. ”

When Yang Youning heard this, he was obviously relieved, "I'll call Lao Liu and ask." ”

After speaking, he picked up the phone early in the morning and called.

didn't think about it, Liu Huaimin was really at his post, and when the phone was connected, Yang Youning couldn't wait to inquire about the situation.

"The letter has been handed over to Old Xia, and it will be handled by his old man, let's just wait."

On the phone, Liu Huaimin told the situation, and Yang Youning was silent for a moment, knowing that how this matter progressed was all up to the will of the superior leaders.

"Okay, let me know if there's any progress."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, and when he just came back, the spirit seemed to be interrupted, and the whole person became sleepy.

"Factory director, you have a good rest, maybe there will be good news soon."

Yang Xiaotao persuaded that this matter should not be rushed.

In other words, you can't have too much hope, otherwise once you are disappointed, Yang Youning's hard-working body will definitely not be able to bear it.

"Good!"

Yang Youning is as good as a stream, mainly because of the double eyelids that started to fight.

Yang Xiaotao left and gently led the door.

Yang Youning sighed, what he wanted was very simple, that is, to sell this pressure cooker abroad, not only to earn foreign exchange for the country, but also to make a name for the rolling mill.

You must know that the current means of earning foreign exchange in China, in addition to grain, is a rare metal.

The export of such resources will not help much in the country.

How much foreign exchange can a peasant earn even if he pays his rations?

Unfortunately, things are beautiful to think about, but it's another thing to do.

Leaning back on the chair, Yang Youning put his coat on his body and slowly relaxed.

At noon, Yang Xiaotao and Wang Fa went to the canteen to eat.

After the Chinese New Year, the food in the canteen has obviously improved, there are two dishes in each window, one meat and one vegetarian, the meat is braised pork, the vegetarian is also a little meat, and the potato fried meat. Try to let the workers get some meat and oil, so that they can have the strength to work.

This also shows that the rolling mill has made a lot of profits, otherwise this 'meat' piece is enough for the rolling mill.

Yang Xiaotao made a portion of braised pork, asked for a portion of potatoes, stirred two dishes together, and then asked for two large steamed buns.

It is not surprising that the people around him see it, firstly, Yang Xiaotao has money and tickets to eat, and secondly, they all know that Yang Xiaotao has a large amount of food.

Of course, the amount of alcohol is not small.

Sitting with Wang Fa, there was Lao Huang beside him, and several people were immersed in eating.

Yang Xiaotao pushed the braised pork aside, first took the steamed bun and ate it with the soup, waited for the steamed bun to eat one, and then began to eat potato pieces.

Finally, I put the braised pork into my mouth piece by piece.

Until there was the largest piece left in the lunch box, Yang Xiaotao put it in his mouth with chopsticks, and then chewed it carefully.

The whole afternoon was meaty in the mouth.

"Director Yang, Director Xiao Yang!"

Just when Yang Xiaotao tasted the taste, Xiaoqiang's secretary outside the cafeteria came running quickly, looking anxious.

"I'm here."

Yang Xiaotao stood up, handed the lunch box to Wang Fa, and walked up quickly.

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

"Director Xiao Yang, someone is here, you should hurry up to the office."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao immediately ran to the office.

Running to the door at a trot, Yang Xiaotao wiped his mouth with his hand, and then walked in.

In the room, Yang Youning was wearing a coat, his eyes were bloodshot, but his cheeks were pulled up to the sides, and the whole person was excited.

Wang Guodong sat on the side, and Zhao Chuanjun was beside him.

On the opposite chair was Liu Huaimin and a capable middle-aged man.

"Xiao Tao, come on."

Liu Huaimin hurriedly greeted Yang Xiaotao when he saw him come in, and at the same time introduced to the middle-aged man next to him, "This is Comrade Yang Xiaotao of the rolling mill, the designer of the pressure cooker." ”

"Xiao Tao, Director Zhong of the Propaganda Department."

"Hello, Comrade Yang Xiaotao, I have heard of the name for a long time, and today I saw that it is really a hero and a young man, and a young hero is amazing."

Director Zhong had a smile on his face and hurriedly stretched out his hand.

Yang Xiaotao took the opportunity to hold Director Zhong's hand, "You are an old boy, I am still a good man, and I can't be a hero."

"Don't be modest, what you do, our propaganda department is clear, but some things are inconvenient to publicize, but this time it's different."

"You are still polite, I have fulfilled the responsibility of a revolutionary worker and led in the rolling mill. With the help of all the workers, we have achieved the results we have achieved. ”

"We can see the efforts of the workers, but your contribution will not be short either."

"Thank you"

The two were polite to each other, Wang Guodong and Zhao Chuanjun on the side glanced at each other, Yang Xiaotao's ability to talk about it is really amazing.

After the two finished speaking, Liu Huaimin got down to business.

"This time, Director Zhong brings good news."

Immediately, Director Zhong took over the topic, glanced at Yang Xiaotao and began to preach.

"We've learned about what happened this time."

"After many efforts by the superiors and the mediation of the other party, we have used the friendship pot as a bridge of communication, and the other party intends to buy our pressure cooker."

With Director Zhong's explanation, the breathing of the people in the room accelerated.

After Director Zhong finished speaking, the coat behind Yang Youning had slipped off, and Wang Guodong clenched his fists even more.

This has finally come to pass.

"So, this time, I'm here, in addition to being commissioned by my superiors, to conduct a complete interview."

Director Zhong looked at Yang Xiaotao seriously again, "There is still an important task. ”

Yang Xiaotao was a little apprehensive when he was watched by Director Zhong many times in a row, and when he heard that there was a task, Yang Xiaotao's psychology was refusal.

Because this is likely to go to the other party, nine times out of ten is to help build a factory raw tea pressure cooker.

It's just that now I can only listen.

"Considering various factors, the exchanges between us are claimed to be non-governmental organizations, not official."

"The day after tomorrow, that is, on the day of International Women's Day, China's women's representatives will go to the other country's capital to conduct people-to-people exchanges and offer gifts for Women's Day."

"The superior instructed that this pressure cooker is one of them."

After listening to the words of the director of the propaganda department, they finally understood that this time the pressure cooker of the rolling mill was going to go abroad with the women representatives.

Then the two sides take this opportunity to improve relations, and even the entourage will come to some kind of agreement.

"So, are we going to provide a pressure cooker?"

When Yang Xiaotao heard that he didn't have to go by himself, he suddenly came to his senses.

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's words, Director Zhong nodded affirmatively, but then shook his head.

"Yes, it's just that this pot should be different, representative and unique."

After Director Zhong finished speaking, the office fell silent again.
