Chapter 641 Urgent Mission
On the other side, Yang Xiaotao’s life was quite leisurely.
The school has an extra teacher, and Ran Qiuye has more time, so he goes home from school and takes care of the children at home.
In the yard, Liu Yuhua held Xiao Yu and Ran Qiuye held Little Dragon Boat Festival. The two could talk all day long.
At night, people in the compound gathered together, listening to the radio and chatting together.
The old man flashed his cattail leaf fan and shouted from time to time as he watched the children chasing each other; the women chatted about household chores, asking how their family was doing, whose children were getting older and it was time for a wife, and who had not yet given birth to a child; the men gathered together. , playing chess and cards, and there would be quarrels from time to time.
After work, enjoy the good times of life.
Yang Xiaotao found that since having a child, Ran Qiuye spent less time reading.
Sure enough, when a woman has a child, her heart changes.
The work of the rolling mill has stabilized. After the drawings were handed over, various places have begun to produce steam tractors. While sharing the traffic, the number of machines used in various places is also increasing.
Yang Xiaotao estimated in his mind that if this continues, within a few years, every village in the northern rural areas will have one.
This has huge benefits for agricultural farming. Coupled with the planting of hybrid corn, food production will increase year by year.
Of course, that is if everything goes well.
Putting down the book, Yang Xiaotao got up and went out. He saw many people enjoying the shade under the big locust tree in the yard, so he also walked over.
Today is Sunday, and the courtyard is quite noisy.
Ran Qiuye was exchanging parenting experiences with Liu Yuhua, although she was also a novice.
There was a small cart beside the two of them, and the two children were lying in it, making noises from time to time.
This car is naturally the masterpiece of Yang Xiaotao.
The relationship between the two families is there, and it doesn’t take much effort to build a small car.
“Daughter-in-law, what do you want to eat for lunch?”
Yang Xiaotao came over, and the words "daughter-in-law" made Ran Qiuye feel a little embarrassed in front of everyone.
"You can just make some."
He quickly replied, Yang Xiaotao sat aside, stretched out his fingers and put them in Xiaoyu's palm. The small hands were soft and thin.
It’s not like the little Dragon Boat Festival, it’s so fleshy that you can’t even separate it with your fingers.
“Want to eat fish? There is also a carp in the tank, which is perfect for braised carp.”
"Okay, I like to eat!"
Liu Yuhua immediately agreed, and Ran Qiuye was not surprised. Now Liu Yuhua and Zhou Kui eat at their home more than at their own home.
Among them, the most important thing is that Yang Xiaotao’s cooking is so delicious.
Even Chef Zhang from the Second Canteen may not be able to catch up.
In this regard, Ran Qiuye is full of pride.
A man in my family can make money, cook, and work.
Looking at Liu Yuhua’s wink, knowing what she was thinking, he said, “Let’s make braised fish, I want to eat it too.”
Ran Qiuye said softly, Liu Yuhua He immediately started laughing.
“Okay.”
Yang Xiaotao readily agreed, “When the time comes, let Xiaoyu drink fish soup, okay?”
Yang Xiaotao moved Xiaoyu's fingers with a look of fondness on his face.
"Qiuye, Brother Tao likes his daughter so much, please hurry up and have another baby, just in time to find a companion for Xiaoyu."
"Yes, Teacher Ran, it will be just right to have a girl next time. Follow Dad.”
"That's right, they both have big eyes, and the daughter they give birth to will definitely be beautiful."
Everyone in the surrounding courtyards was booing, and Yang Xiaotao also nodded silently, "Yes, Qiuye, next time I give birth. A daughter.”
"My daughter is my father's little cotton-padded jacket! I like the little cotton-padded jacket the best!"
Hearing Yang Xiaotao's shameless words, Ran Qiuye rolled his eyes immediately.
Who is it that I avoid every time? I have the nerve to say it.
As if feeling Ran Qiuye's resentment, Yang Xiaotao quickly turned around, not daring to tease, otherwise he would have to hand in homework again tonight.
Everyone was talking and laughing, while Qin Huairu, who was washing clothes at the side, slapped his sleeves, as if all the grievances, resentments and only pride in his heart were smashed to pieces.
My family is still planning carefully to eat a few steamed buns, but they have enough to eat and are not afraid of being hated by others.
However, hearing that Yang Xiaotao liked his daughter made him feel uncomfortable again.
These days, girls are losers, even if they are also women, Jia Zhang said so, because that is what she did.
Qin Huairu thought of her parents at home, and their relationship had faded over the years.
So when Yang Xiaotao said this, it was all out of favor for Ran Qiuye.
After all, no one can guarantee that he will give birth to a son every time, but Yang Xiaotao is willing to accept this result.
Unlike the one who died in her family, her daughter is not like her biological child.
Looking up at the happy Ran Qiuye, her radiant face was even more delicate.
Looking down at her fingers, Qin Huairu suppressed the sadness in her heart and continued working.
As for the growling sound in their stomachs, their family already eats twice a day.
"What a little cotton-padded jacket, I'll give you a leak when the time comes. Let's see if you cry or not."
He cursed in his heart, and then looked at Xiaodang playing in the yard, and Jia Zhang who knocked on the door, feeling sad. From the bottom of my heart, "This can't happen anymore!"
The thought that had been hesitating suddenly became firm at this moment.
Just when Yang Xiaotao got up and prepared to cook, a person hurried in from the yard.
Everyone looked up and then looked at Yang Xiaotao.
The visitor is Yang Youning’s secretary, Xiaoqiang.
"Chief Yang, Director Yang asked you to go to the factory quickly. There is a task and it is urgent."
Xiaoqiang said, wiping his sweat.
Running in from the alley, I didn’t stop and sweated a lot.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao was a little puzzled as to what emergency could happen at the steel rolling mill on the weekend.
"Wait for me."
After saying that, he went back to the house and put on his shoes before coming out.
"Daughter-in-law, you can make something to eat."
"Okay, please slow down."
Yang Xiaotao nodded and picked two melons from the yard. , flushed it with water, threw one to Xiaoqiang, and then walked out.
"Did you say something happened?"
"I don't know?"
Xiaoqiang gnawed on the melon, it was so sweet.
“A good thing?”
“I don’t know, but the factory director is very serious.”
"Who is participating?"
"All the workshop directors, and some eighth-level workers."
Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao felt a little confused and speeded up.
The jeep left quickly, and there was another gossip in the yard.
Arrived at the steel rolling mill, entered the office building, and came to the conference room.
Several workshop directors were together. On the other side, Yang Xiaotao also saw Liu Daming and Yi Zhonghai at the end, and felt even more nervous.
These are all eighth-level fitters in the factory!
Something happened!
“Here, come and sit!”
Wang Guodong pointed to the stool next to him, and Yang Xiaotao quickly found a place to sit down.
The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit solemn, "Uncle Wang, what's going on?"
"I don't know, I called you from home too." "I haven't even eaten yet!"
Sun Guo also said something, 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.
"They are all here. There is something to do."
Yang Youning did not sit down, but stood and spoke.
The conference room became more solemn.
“After receiving an urgent notice from superiors, there are no factories in Sijiucheng. We have dispatched outstanding fitters to the northwest to support production.”
"Our steel rolling mill has allocated three quotas."
"The only requirement is to select the best fitters as soon as possible to support the front line!"
Everyone's hearts trembled, and they went to the northwest again support.
This kind of thing has happened before, but it was not good. Many people went there and have not come back yet.
The conference room was very heavy. It was not relaxing because of the small number of places. On the contrary, it was even heavier because of this requirement.
The finest fitter.
We are all in Grade 8, who admits that he is worse than others?
More importantly, the meaning behind this kind of thing.
It is not clear how young Yang Xiaotao is, but many old people present understand that once these people are selected...
Last time, Liu Daming's apprentice left the steel rolling mill like this, and he has not yet left. Meet people.
I don’t know whether I am alive or dead, and I have no news at all.
Who would still remember him if it weren’t for the money he received from the steel rolling mill every month?
Everyone looked at Liu Daming aside, and Yang Xiaotao could feel the grief and anger in the old man.
But this task cannot be done without completing it. The higher-ups have gone down to the steel 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, there is no doubt about Yang Xiaotao's skills. In this steel rolling mill, as a fitter, he is the number one and no one objects.
It’s just that now that he is an engineer, he still has a lot of things waiting for him.
The reasons are valid, but you can go or not.
In the bottom of his heart, Yang Youning still wants to keep Yang Xiaotao. Who knows what will happen this time?
The rolling mill still has a lot of things to do. Without him, if something technically goes wrong, they really can't do anything. They always feel that they lack a backbone.
Yang Xiaotao felt Yang Youning's gaze, and Wang Guodong beside him stretched out his hand to pull his sleeve.
There was a warning in his eyes.
Yang Xiaotao sat there, having a fierce struggle in his heart.
This urgent mission is likely to be related to next year's earth-shattering event.
After traveling through time, it always feels like a pity not to witness such an important moment.
But now he is not alone, he has a family, a wife, a son, friends, and brothers.
At this moment, Yang Xiaotao frowned, undecided.
"You are all excellent fitters in the factory. I hope you will have the courage to take on this task and contribute your strength to the country and the nation."
Yang Youning looked at the crowd and said, Especially when he was wandering around a few fitters, there was no extra expression on their faces.
At this time, secretary Xiaoqiang knocked on the door and came in. Speaking of Secretary Liu’s phone number, Yang Youning ran out quickly.
Chen Gong thought for a moment and went to inquire about the news.
The room immediately exploded, discussing with each other.
Especially the master fitter who was called here was struggling in his heart between his family and his country.
If it were an ordinary person, it would not be so difficult to choose.
But they are different. They understand that there is no family without a country.
But when the time comes, it's still hard to choose.
Wang Guodong began to tell Yang Xiaotao what happened before, and several people looked grave.
Yang Xiaotao also calmed down.
Yi Zhonghai was the last in the crowd, calculating in his mind.
He is an old man from a steel rolling mill, so he has naturally experienced what happened last time.
I was thinking silently in my mind.
What happened last time, he deliberately let himself go and was not selected.
But the facts proved that it was right not to go.
Otherwise, let alone finding someone to take care of him in old age, we still don’t know whether he can come back to these four-nine cities.
But this time, it’s different.
Three years of forced labor!
He also wants some closure, to go home and work hard for future generations.
Now, because he is far away from the courtyard, he has less and less control over Qin Huairu. Especially recently, Qin Huairu has been having an affair with Guo Da Paizi, which makes him wary.
Qin Huairu was his chosen partner. If he flew out of the courtyard, where would he find such a good tool?
But, what if I go and can’t come back? Might as well wait three years!
Yi Zhonghai was a little worried when he thought about the possible consequences.
It is so desolate to die in a foreign land without even a single descendant!
I hesitated in my heart, feeling as uneasy as the people around me.
Da da
The sound of rapid footsteps came, and Yang Youning walked in.
There was still a serious look on his face.
“After thinking about it, is there anyone willing to sign up?”
After saying that, everyone looked at the fitters on the side.
No one spoke, and several of them had red faces, clenched fists, and trembling arms.
“Me!”
"I'll go!"
Unexpectedly, everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Xiaotao, you, you have thought about it!"
Wang Guodong almost jumped up and reached out to pull Yang Xiaotao's arm.
He looked serious and spoke with trembling.
"Uncle Wang, if the country needs me, why should I hesitate!"
"Besides, I'm still young!"
"You! You!"
Wang Guodong patted the table, feeling indescribable in his heart.
Yang Xiaotao stood up with firm eyes.
But there was more on his mind.
Now, what tasks does the country use them for?
Nine times out of ten it has something to do with that.
Then, what are the hesitations and worries?
Besides, how long is it until the mushroom eggs?
A full year and a half.
If he goes, his family will be worried, but he will feel uncomfortable for a while.
But if he doesn’t go, he will regret it for the rest of his life.
He believed that Ran Qiuye would understand this choice.
It will also be supported.
He also believed that this was the most meaningful thing he could do in this world.
