Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2289 Fight Again

Yang Xiaotao returned to the courtyard and saw Ran Qiuye and Ms. Cui making dumplings in the yard.

Comrade Lao Jin and the old Taoist were walking in the yard.

After Yang Xiaotao came back, Lao Jin didn't ask any more questions.

Although he knew what Yang Xiaotao was doing, Lao Jin didn't think it was important.

In his opinion, it would even be better to take his wife and children to the West Garden.

In his eyes, that side is obviously more important.

If Yang Xiaotao knew about this, he could only chuckle twice, and then say in his heart, "You are so short-sighted!"

I returned home, reported that I was safe, and then went to Zhou Kui's house next door.

Recently, because Ran Qiuye and Cuiping were both pregnant, Zhou Kui and his wife also wanted to find a companion for Xiaoyu, so they have been working hard.

Not only their family, but other families in the yard who are able are also working hard.

"Tao, Brother Tao."

Zhou Kui saw Yang Xiaotao come in and smiled foolishly.

Liu Yuhua was making dumplings in the house, while Xiaoyu was calling him "Uncle" beside him.

He nodded to Zhou Kui, then picked up Xiaoyu and said, "Xiaoyu is so good."

"Here, it's from my uncle. Buy some candy."

As he said that, Yang Xiaotao stuffed two cents into Xiaoyu's hand.

"Thank you, uncle."

"Yeah, much more obedient than Duanwu."

"From now on, watch over Duanwu. If he does anything bad, tell me, okay?"

Xiaoyu looked at her parents and lowered her head, "Brother Duanwu did nothing bad."

After saying this, the three of them laughed.

"Xiaoyu, go out and play."

When Liu Yuhua saw Yang Xiaotao coming, she knew something must have happened, so she sent Xiaoyu out.

After the child ran away, Yang Xiaotao sat on a stool nearby and said, "Kuizi, I need your help in doing something."

Zhou Kui picked up the jar and placed it in front of Yang Xiaotao with a respectful look.

When he heard Yang Xiaotao asking him to do something, he immediately became excited.

Their family is where they are today, 100% thanks to the help of Yang Xiaotao.

Today, the couple earns more than 160 yuan a month, which not only allows them to take good care of their family but also help their parents.

Now that we have money, everything will go smoothly.

"Tao, Tao"

Liu Yuhua stood up and came to the side, "Brother Tao, if you have anything to ask, just tell me, Kuizi and I will definitely help you complete it."

Zhou Kui nodded vigorously.

Yang Xiaotao knew the personalities of the two men, so he took out a piece of paper with an address written on it from his pocket, and then took out a stack of big unity notes from his pocket.

"Kuizi, tomorrow you ask Zhou Peng to bring tools for repairing the heating furnace and go here to do some maintenance and cleaning for this family."

"Take this hundred yuan and go to the coal station to buy a truckload of coal and deliver it to the people."

"There are two elderly people in there. You must respect them."

Yang Xiaotao reminded.

Liu Yuhua immediately took the address and said, "Brother Tao, you can tell us to take the money back. We have it ourselves."

Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "You have to take the money, otherwise they won't keep the coal briquettes you gave them."

“We don’t tell them”

Yang Xiaotao stopped him, "This is also my filial piety."

After hearing this, the two of them said nothing more and just accepted the money and the address.

"Is Aunt Zhou okay?"

Yang Xiaotao picked up the tea and started talking about family matters.

"Okay, you're fine."

"I'm at home taking care of my grandchildren now. How can I not be happy?"

Liu Yuhua felt a little jealous when she talked about this.

When Xiaoyu was born, my mother-in-law didn't seem so happy.

To put it bluntly, I still want grandchildren.

Zhou Kui gave a bitter smile, and Yang Xiaotao could only comfort him, "You are still young, there are plenty of opportunities."

They both laughed when they heard it.

"What about Zhou Yun? Is she doing well in the pharmaceutical factory?"

Liu Yuhua nodded vigorously, "Not bad, my sister-in-law doesn't talk much, but she's very popular now that she works at the pharmaceutical factory. I guess it won't be long before she can eat wedding candy."

This surprised Yang Xiaotao. Zhou Yun was probably only sixteen or seventeen years old.

"nice! You love it."

After a long while, Yang Xiaotao could only utter a few polite words.

After sitting at Zhou's house for a while, it was already dark.

At home, the dumplings had been wrapped. Yang Xiaotao took out a string of firecrackers from the house, and then asked Miaomiao and Duanwu to carry fishing rods and light them outside the yard.

Crackling
Firecrackers rang out, big red lanterns were hung up, and then the whole yard was filled with the sound.

Whoosh!
Snapped!
The Sky Rat suddenly soared into the sky with a whistling sound, and then exploded with a bang.

"Let's go home and eat dumplings."

With a shout, the children ran home like birds returning to their nests, not even picking up the small firecrackers that fell on the ground.

The night passed.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao drove to the Red Star Machinery Factory.

As soon as the car stopped, Wang Fa came over and shouted "Military Yang" in front of him.

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Wang, you are slandering me."

Wang Fa didn't care, "Everyone calls me like that, so what's wrong with me calling you like that?"

"No, as long as you like it."

As they talked, the two men walked together, but Brother Wang was still the same as before. Even though Yang Xiaotao's status had been improved, in his heart, he was still his brother.

"Brother Wang, you also know about the workshop."

"The production of this engine must be independent."

"How about being a factory manager?"

Wang Fa took out a cigarette and they both lit it. As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Wang Fa shook his head.

"Come on, my job as workshop director is already mysterious, let alone factory director."

"What's the big deal? This is my first time doing this, too."

Wang Fa shook his head again, "We are different. You are born with a strong drive, but I can't do that. I am not suitable!"

"Brother Wang, you have to do it now!"

Yang Xiaotao said seriously and sincerely, "Brothers, you have to support my work at this time!"

Wang Fa thought for a moment, and finally walked to the front of the office building and said, "Then I'll try it first!"

Yang Xiaotao was overjoyed, "That's right!"

As they talked, the two of them walked towards the office building.

Standing up, Yang Xiaotao did not have high requirements for the law, he just needed to have execution ability. He just needed to do the things he assigned and execute them according to the regulations.

In addition, we also need elders like Wang Fa to stabilize people's hearts.

Especially now that the nine departments have just been established, stability is even more needed!

After chatting with Wang Fa all the way, Yang Xiaotao finally came to the office.

Lou Xiao'e was sorting out some things, but her mind was not on them at all.

After Yang Xiaotao came in, Lou Xiao'e felt worried.

It is a foregone conclusion that Yang Xiaotao will become the boss of the Ninth Division, but what about her?
Can I continue to be a secretary?
You know, at that level, if you want to be a secretary, you also need to have qualifications.

Especially because of her background, she couldn't get past this hurdle.

But if she doesn't work as Yang Xiaotao's secretary, what else can she do?
Thinking of the situation her father had explained to her and Liu Lixue's encouragement to her, her heart was a mess.

After Yang Xiaotao walked in, he also noticed that Lou Xiao'e was acting strangely, and he knew what she was thinking.

But just as Lou Xiao'e thought, once you reach a certain position, some things need to be considered more comprehensively.

Just like when Liu Huaimin went to the First Ministry of Machine Building, his secretary who had been with him for many years was replaced and he had no choice.

However, Yang Xiaotao is not an unsympathetic person.

Lou Xiao'e has followed him all these years. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard. Even if she cannot be his secretary, she will be arranged to be one!

Yang Xiaotao is well aware of this.

After finishing reviewing most of the documents in the morning, Yang Xiaotao called the Northwest Second Branch.

When the phone rang and was connected, Yang Xiaotao recognized it as Li Chengjun's voice.

Yang Xiaotao revealed his identity and had no intention of hiding it from the other party.

I am just conveying the news of the establishment of the nine ministries. We will discuss the details after the official document is issued.

Li Chengjun was confused by what he heard on the other end and didn't understand the cause and effect. Then he heard Yang Xiaotao looking for Lao Hong.

He quickly asked someone to call Lao Hong over, and then he lit a cigarette and thought about what Yang Xiaotao said.

"Boss Yang, I'm Lao Hong."

"Old Hong, I can tell from your voice that you have a good life. You sound full of energy."

Yang Xiaotao joked on the phone, and Lao Hong was not polite, "That's right, except for the strong wind, everything here is good!"

"The mountains, the water, the people are all good, and it's even better to keep healthy!"

"Ha ha!"

Yang Xiaotao immediately said, "Are you fine now and don't want to go back to the city?"

Lao Hong heard something and asked, "That depends on who lets me go back!"

"If it were someone else, I wouldn't say it, but if it were you, I would have to think about it!"

"Tsk, you still have to think about it. I'm still thinking about you!"

Yang Xiaotao said something, but Lao Hong's expression opposite him became even more serious. Even Li Chengjun narrowed his eyes and looked at Lao Hong.

"Old Hong, I have to let you come back this time!"

The next second, Yang Xiaotao's voice was heard, and there was a hint of solemnity in the eyes of the two.

Just as Lao Hong was asking what was going on, Yang Xiaotao continued, "We need you to come back! The people need you too, come back."

The two people, who had originally had serious expressions, immediately became surprised when they heard Yang Xiaotao say this.

After a long while, Lao Hong finally asked, "Boss Yang, what's going on with you?"

Yang Xiaotao also knew that anyone who heard such nonsense would be confused, so he explained, "Old Hong, this is a long story, and it is not clear in a few words over the phone, so I will briefly explain it!"

Then Yang Xiaotao gave a statement about the affairs of the nine departments.

"How's it going, Lao Hong?"

"Come back, the people need you, and the future of the Nine Departments also needs you..."

On the other end of the phone, Lao Hong was still in shock, and Li Chengjun next to him also had his mouth wide open.

They had finally gotten out of that quagmire, but now, were they going back again?

It took a long time for Lao Hong to come back to his senses, then he sat aside and digested the information.

"You, you said the Nine Departments have been established? And you want me to go back?"

"Yes, I know it's a little sudden, but this matter itself is very abrupt. However, this is also inevitable."

Yang Xiaotao explained again, but Lao Hong could no longer hear clearly at this moment. He only felt that his heart, which could no longer be restrained, began to beat faster inexplicably.

"Old Hong, I think that there is no one else who can take on the responsibility of logistics except you!"

"Really, I'm not being pretentious, it's the Nine Departments that need you to come back!"

"The people need you back too!"

Yang Xiaotao persuaded again.

Then I waited for a while before I heard Lao Hong's voice.

"Okay, I'll go back!"

Yang Xiaotao's face lit up with joy, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away, we'll talk about it later!"

"By the way, Director Li is coming back too. The Ninth Department is being established and a meeting is also being held!"

"it is good!"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao looked happy. Having dealt with Lao Hong, Yang Xiaotao remembered what his uncle had told him, so he picked up the phone again and called Mr. Peng.

"Hello, I'm Yang Xiaotao. Can you help me find Mr. Peng?"

After a while, Mr. Peng's voice came. Yang Xiaotao immediately said a few polite words and then got down to business, "Mr. Peng, there is someone I want to transfer to the Ninth Department as the Director of Logistics..."

……

Second factory.

After Lao Hong hung up the phone, the two looked at each other.

"Something happened, it must be a big accident!"

Li Chengjun said this, and Lao Hong nodded immediately, "I'll go find Mr. He and ask him to find out the situation."

"Okay, I'll give Wang Huzi a call."

At noon, Wang Huzi came hurriedly with a look of surprise on his face.

Everyone gathered in the conference room.

President He puffed on his pipe, but besides shock, there was also a flash of surprise on his face, and in his heart there was something called hope.

The same is true for Mr. Zhu. Although his life is stable after coming to the Northwest, he feels empty inside when he calms down after experiencing all the ups and downs in his life!
Even if I have to go to the battlefield one more time, it is better than dying here of old age!

Li Chengjun didn't expect that after a circle, he would end up going from the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building to the Ninth Ministry of Machine Building.

Wang Huzi never expected that the little brother he knew back then would suddenly become the boss of the Ninth Division!

Everyone else had the same expression. They were shocked by what had happened during this period, and at the same time, they were stunned by Yang Xiaotao's nine parts!

Everyone remained silent, with many thoughts in their minds!

At a certain point, everyone looked at Lao Hong.

After a long time, Lao Hong threw the cigarette on the ground, looked at everyone with a calm tone.

"Boss Peng once said that people of our generation, covered in blood and mud, are destined to a life of toil."

"So, how about trying again?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. He tapped his pipe on the edge of the kang with a smile on his face.

I wish your old fingers will crackle with joy and you will be eager to try!

Wang Huzi even touched his smooth chin, thinking that he should still grow a beard.

Li Chengjun put out his cigarette and said, "Then, let's fight again!"
