At noon, Ran's father led Ran's mother's family to the courtyard.

Yang Xiaotao went out to greet him, but this time he brought a lot of things, all of which were brought back by Ran's father.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, the people in the courtyard looked at Ran's father from afar, and the temperament on his body couldn't help but remind people of the previous Ran Qiuye.

body, a smell of cultural people.

Father Ran entered the courtyard and was also looking at the people around him.

Then, I saw Zhang Laodao smiling at him.

"Team Leader Zhang."

"Team Leader Ran, congratulations."

The two were very excited to meet.

"What are you?"

"I, haha, live in this courtyard."

"Okay, that's right, it's a success."

Zhang Laodao smiled, "That's right, I finally have time to do something of my own." Still, I envy you. ”

Father Ran listened, smiled and shook his head, he knew what Zhang Laodao meant, he just shook his hand, "Everywhere, it's all the same, it's all for the country and the nation." ”

Zhang Laodao nodded.

"Dad, old man, come into the house and talk."

Yang Xiaotao said on the side, Zhang Laodao and the two nodded, and entered the courtyard.

Father Ran looked at it, the Yang family, it's really good.

There is a yard at home, and the vegetables and fruits in the yard grow well, as well as a pressurized well, and a separate bathroom.

No matter how you look at it, this day is better than the cadre building.

No wonder I heard the child and his mother say that they are all deputy factory directors, but they are still willing to stay here.

He also yearns for such an environment.

"Xinrui, do you know what the principle of this pressurized water well is?"

Ran Xinrui followed behind Ran's father, saw that Ran Qiuye was pressurizing water, and hurriedly said, "I know, my brother-in-law told me that it was the principle of atmospheric pressure." ”

"Yes, do you know what atmospheric pressure is?"

"I, I don't know."

"This atmospheric pressure, to put it bluntly, is gas."

Before entering the house, Ran's father started a physics class in front of the pressurized water well.

Yang Xiaotao finally understood where Ran Qiuye's teacher attribute came from, it was definitely not acquired, it was definitely inherited from the depths of genes.

Seeing the two of them talking in the courtyard, Ran's mother smiled helplessly and beckoned to everyone, "Don't worry about them." ”

Ran Qiuye smiled, Lao Dao looked at Ran's father, then looked at Ran Xinrui, and thought of the little girl crying and shouting yesterday, and laughed too.

Ran's father was teaching on the spot in the courtyard, and Yang Xiaotao couldn't be left out in the cold, so he accompanied him, anyway, the meal had already been prepared.

After a while, Ran's father walked around the house twice, and then entered the study with the Dragon Boat Festival in his arms.

Usually, the Dragon Boat Festival is not allowed here, mainly because this little guy is too curious, and he wants to tear everything and take a bite.

There are heirlooms in this study, and they are torn, so they can be returned.

So when he was reported in by Ran's father, his little face was smiling, and he didn't resist being hugged by a 'stranger'.

"In the past, I also wanted a study room with a shelf of books, and when it rained, I would be in front of the window, listening to the sound of the rain and savoring the taste of the book."

Father Ran sat on the chair, Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye stood beside him, listening to Father Ran's emotion, looking at each other and smiling.

"Dad, I'll install a chair here in the future, and you'll come if you're fine."

Ran Qiuye said, pointing to the side of the two chairs.

Father Ran laughed when he saw it, "When the time comes, let's read books together, it's a bit like the taste of a library." ”

Hahaha

A few people laughed, but Father Ran thought of something, and then the laughter gradually dissipated.

"Little one, don't dare to move this thing."

Father Ran saw the Dragon Boat Festival stretching out his hand to the drawings on the table, and he also saw that this was a design drawing, so he hurriedly hugged it.

Ran Qiuye also stepped forward to hug him when he saw it, but Ran's father was fascinated by the design.

"This is, the engine?"

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and looked at it, it was a waste draft when he was making a diesel engine before, and he hadn't had time to deal with it.

"Yes, a single-cylinder diesel engine was designed the other day"

Yang Xiaotao made a brief introduction, and Ran's father suddenly became interested.

He also knows the situation in China, the diesel engine is not simple, especially when Yang Xiaotao said that this single-cylinder four-stroke diesel engine has forty or fifty horsepower, which can catch up with ordinary cars.

Hearing Yang Xiaotao say that it should be installed on the tractor first, Ran's father became even more interested.

"This kind of design has already appeared in the West, but we don't understand it well in China, or the design flaws are always full of problems."

Father Ran looked at the drawings with burning eyes.

Yang Xiaotao simply redrew the drawings he had designed in front of the table, explaining while drawing.

"This valve and spring, pay attention to the material, and also pay attention to the material of this piston."

After only looking at it for a while, Father Ran put forward his opinion.

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Now we have a lot of special materials in the rolling mill, thanks to the support of the comrades in the logistics department." ”

"Huh? Logistics, those people are not easy to talk to. ”

Father Ran had obviously dealt with the people in the logistics department, and what he said hit the nail on the head.

Yang Xiaotao smiled, and immediately briefly said about the machine tool, and Father Ran looked at Yang Xiaotao even more surprised.

He had heard from his daughter-in-law that this kid was the deputy director of the rolling mill, and that some of the designs were made by him.

Now it seems that this kid is better than he knows.

"This single-cylinder diesel engine, is there any other design scheme?"

Father Ran looked at it for a while, and Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Yes, now it's a single-cylinder, and when the technology matures, I'll engage in double-cylinder, four-cylinder, and eight-cylinder ones." ”

Father Ran nodded, he could also think of this, the difference is that one can really design it and then make it.

It's just that during this period, how many experiments need to be experienced, and even how many failures and sacrifices have to be experienced, he doesn't know.

"Dad, the steam tractor we made in the rolling mill before, this design size is for easy replacement, if it is enlarged, or improved."

Yang Xiaotao continued, and Ran's father also provided advice on the side, and the exchange between the two could always collide with sparks of thought.

Outside the study, Ran Qiuye and Ran's mother watched Weng and his son-in-law forget to eat there, and the two laughed.

An old voice came from behind him, "It's not a family, it's not a family." ”

The crowd laughed again.

Just when laughter came from Yang Xiaotao's house, the first machine department, Xia Lao's office, was dull and terrible.

The electric fan was spinning, blowing the paper on the table, and the rustling sound kept ringing.

Xia Lao held the pen in his hand and buried his head in contemplation.

I talked about the expansion of the rolling mill earlier, which was also agreed by Huang Lao.

But how can this expansion be done casually?

And the stakes are so high, he can't fake people, so he can only go into battle by himself.

Can...

"Expand, expand!"

"I'll expand my head!"

Xia Lao only felt that his head was buzzing, and there were too many places to consider.

The construction site, the personnel, the organizational structure, and the leadership candidates, all of which must be carefully considered, and which one must be considered in many aspects.

Xia Lao has been busy in the office alone for most of the past few days, and he has only made a rough idea.

"No, it's not a one-man job!"

Thinking of this, Xia Lao also knew that there were too many things, and there was always a gap in one person, so he simply got people done first.

One person counts short, and two people count long.

If not, find a few more.

Then I thought about it and picked up the phone.

A moment later, Liu Huaimin walked into the office suspiciously.

As the direct superior of the rolling mill, plus the secretary of the rolling mill, in Xia Lao's opinion, Liu Huaimin is the best candidate.

Even, after the expansion of the rolling mill, a secretary is also needed to carry out ideological education, otherwise such a large factory will not be able to do without a secretary.

And Liu Huaimin, both in terms of experience and position, is suitable for the expansion and upgrading of the rolling mill.

Of course, the most important thing is that the addition of Liu Huaimin will not affect the organizational structure of the current rolling mill.

Yes, Xia Lao has basically determined that the leadership of the expanded rolling mill will still follow the current leadership.

As for some people, they will make adjustments, but the leading ones will not change.

Of course, the factory area has been expanded, and the rank has to be promoted, which can be benchmarked against the first machine department, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the first machine department.

In addition, the leadership can appropriately increase the number of candidates, which does not mean that it is mixed with sand, but in Xia Lao's planning, some individual industries should be managed by separate departments, and increasing the leadership is convenient for direct management.

After Liu Huaimin came to the office, he sat aside, watching Xia Lao there in a daze, and he didn't dare to speak.

He's been a little busy lately.

Since the first machine department issued a request to increase the amount of tasks, the factories below have been doing it one by one.

In order to complete the task, the factory does not say that it is not enough to sleep and eat, but it is also nervous.

It's just that some tasks are really beyond the capabilities of the factory, so that in order to complete the tasks, you can only ask for technical guidance every day.

In these cases, you can't kill them with a stick.

After all, not every factory is a rolling mill, and they all have such powerful technical capabilities.

Liu Huaimin could only coordinate manpower and go to help solve the problem.

If it weren't for the recent events in the rolling mill, he would have wanted to send Yang Xiaotao and several engineers out.

"Xiao Liu!"

Just as Liu Huaimin was thinking about how to deal with the following request, Xia Lao at the table finally came back to his senses and spoke.

"Chief, please speak."

"Well, Comrade Huaimin, you can take a look at this first."

Xia Lao directly handed a document to Liu Huaimin.

After taking the document, Liu Huaimin just glanced at the title, and his heart jumped violently.

About the expansion plan of the Red Star Rolling Mill.

"Chief, this is."

"You take a look first, and if you have any ideas, just say it."

Liu Huaimin nodded, since the chief has found him, it shows his trust in him.

And if you look for him for such an important matter, then this matter is likely to be related to him.

Immediately Liu Huaimin opened it and looked at it for a while, there were scratches in many places inside, and there were even some places left for space, obviously this was just a first draft.

Of course, as for the maker of this first draft, it must be Xia Lao.

Even so, Liu Huaimin, who took a rough look, took a deep breath, and his heart was pinched, and he couldn't believe it.

He couldn't believe that his superiors had promoted the rolling mill to a factory directly under him, which was on a par with the top eight factories in the first machine department.

You must know that the first machine department, as a national heavy industry department, although it has been divided into many departments over the years and has become the second, third, fourth and other machine departments, but the old bottom is there.

In particular, the heavy industry sector, which was originally established, has always been a machine department.

It occupies an important position in the country's economic construction.

And in these heavy industry sectors, the good deeds are divided into three, six, nine and so on.

In this regard, Liu Huaimin also thinks it is true.

Especially after working here, I also know how much the 'sons' of the first machine department are exposed to the light.

And such a son is not only a historical position, but more importantly, he must have something to take.

It's like the Jiefang Automobile Factory in Changchun in the northwest, which is stacked with thousands of cars.

There are only eight such sons who are recognized by everyone.

And the factories in the back of the queue are also full of energy, thinking of becoming the next son, referred to as Lao Jiu.

If you want to say that the most promising one to become the ninth child at the moment, it is the Quancheng Automobile Factory.

This is one of the most fierce development momentum in China, especially in the case of obtaining a large number of orders, and the call for becoming Lao Jiu in a machine department is the highest.

But I didn't want to, the dark horse of the rolling mill suddenly came out and cut off Lao Jiu.

Really, the world is unpredictable.
