Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2299 News leaked
January 1968, 1, the 28rd day of the twelfth lunar month, was the Little New Year.

Just after the Great Cold, the weather in this city responded immediately. In the middle of the night, the falling snow had already covered the entire yard. In the quiet night, the New Year's decorations quietly began.

The next day, the world was covered in snow.

When Yang Xiaotao came out of his house, Comrade Lao Jin and his grandfather were sweeping the snow with brooms. They were in high spirits, chatting while sweeping the snow, and stopping from time to time to take a puff of cigarette.

Life in this courtyard is also comfortable.

After Yang Xiaotao got up, he made a fire, boiled water, and then went to the water pressurized well. He poured a kettle of hot water into the well and finally pumped up some water.

At this time, everyone in the house woke up. When they saw the snow outside, Miaomiao led the family out and played with the snow, chirping.

This snow is the best gift God gives to children.

Wangcai and his family hid in the doghouse. When they saw Yang Xiaotao coming out, they ran out too, leaving a trail of footprints on the snow.

As Wangcai's body gradually grew bigger and Wangwang also grew again, the original doghouse became crowded. Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to build a new nest for Wangwang near the west wall.

This also solves the privacy problem of Wangcai and his wife.

As for whether the couple's family members will increase in the future, Yang Xiaotao doesn't need to worry about it, as there are naturally a lot of people waiting.

Even in faraway Shanghai, Hao Pingchuan would always ask, "Does your Wangcai have a puppy?" every time he called.
The closest one is Yu Zecheng, who always visits Wangcai every time he comes home.

These guys have long set their sights on Wangcai's descendants.

Of course, if Yang Xiaotao is willing to give it up, their desire for Wangcai has never changed.

As each family got up, more and more people came to the yard, and there were also many more children playing around.

After the meal is ready, we will be invited to go home for dinner.

At the dinner table, the grandfather put his pipe aside, picked up an egg and peeled it for the child beside him. Lao Jin did the same thing.

Yang Xiaotao peeled an egg for Ran Qiuye and then waited aside.

After a while, all three egg yolks fell into his bowl.

"Xiao Tao, Shi Tou brought me some leeks yesterday and mentioned this by the way."

Yang Xiaotao finished his rice porridge, then looked up and listened.

The grandfather ate rice porridge and pickles, thought for a while and said, "Shitou also brought a message, saying that the villagers in the village want to thank you and asked you to come back during the New Year."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "I was going back anyway. I can avoid visiting the graves."

The old man nodded after listening. He was just delivering a message, and he knew exactly what the villagers were thinking.

It was because I saw Yang Xiaotao recruited the children from the village into the research institute that I became interested.

All he could say about this matter was that he would not interfere.

In the past, some children were reluctant to go to school, while others would refuse to do so.

Now, everyone wants their children to study and everyone wants them to study well.

But how could such a good thing happen?

After listening to the conversation between the two, Ran Qiuye winked at Yang Xiaotao. Yang Xiaotao understood and said after thinking for a while, "Grandpa, if Shitou comes again, just tell him that as long as he passes the junior high school entrance exam and graduates successfully, I can help you."

"Of course, if you can get into high school or college, I can arrange for you to go directly to the research institute."

This is not Yang Xiaotao's act of favoritism or abuse of power, it's just the reality.

In his previous life, before Yang Xiaotao went to school, college students at that time all had salaries, their jobs were assigned, and their houses were also assigned.

When he went to college, he not only had to spend money, but also had to find a job and a house after graduation.
Now, not to mention college students, even high school graduates can be allocated jobs and houses.

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's affirmative answer, Master Yang smiled with relief.

At least, there is no need to worry.

"By the way, there's a movie showing at the factory tonight, who wants to go?"

After breakfast, Yang Xiaotao prepared to leave, but he still asked before leaving.

As a result, everyone in the room looked over, obviously wanting to take a look.

In the end, Grandpa and Lao Jin stayed behind, while Ms. Cui and Ran Qiuye took the children to the machinery factory.

At that time, Yang Xiaotao will arrange someone to pick them up.

This can also be considered as internal factory welfare.

After all, this is the premiere. If the effect is not good, it will not be released to the public.

When we arrived at the entrance of the alley, Wang Hao was waiting smoking.

Get in the car and start.

"Director Yang, there are quite a lot of people coming to the movie tonight."

Wang Hao said this happily because there were scenes of him in the movie.

For this purpose, he specially called his family members to come and see it together, and told them where it was.

"Well, there should be quite a few people. Let the security department take safety measures when the time comes."

Yang Xiaotao replied, then closed his eyes and thought about today's work.

Today, the nine departments are running more and more smoothly, and thanks to everyone's efforts, they are now on the right track.

However, it will take time to completely stabilize.

Especially the production of Baiju fighter jets, taking advantage of the opportunity of everyone's cooperation, we pulled everyone together and built a close-knit group.

As for the work of other research institutes, it also needs to be gradually advanced.

Nowadays, thanks to the income from foreign trade, the Jiubu has a relatively solid financial foundation, but these research projects cannot be invested in unlimited amounts, and results need to be seen.

In particular, the dean, Yang Xiaotao, also needs to be responsible to his superiors.

You know, the profits that the Ninth Ministry has earned from its pharmaceutical factories and alloy research institutes have already caused many people to complain.

Yang Xiaotao also needs to achieve results as soon as possible to consolidate his position.

When the car arrived at the headquarters, Yang Xiaotao got out and saw Yang Youning directing people to arrange the seating in the conference hall.

In front of the Great Hall, staff from the film studio were busy unloading equipment from the truck.

Jiang Wei, who was in charge of the filming, immediately smiled when he saw Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao waved to him and walked into the office building.

"Teacher Jiang, who is that?" A young man wearing a military cap, uniform and a belt around his waist asked curiously. His ears were obviously red from the cold, but he reluctantly let the ears of his cap down, and stood up straight like a proud rooster, trying to attract the attention of the female worker.

In comparison, Jiang Wei was much more down-to-earth. He pulled his hat down to cover most of his face, wore gloves on his hands, and a coat on his body. He didn't care about his image at all.

"He, you should know."

"Who?"

"Yang Xiaotao!"

Jiang Wei lowered his voice and said that after all, the other party's identity was there, and it was not appropriate to call the other party by his name directly.

"Ah~~"

"Oh, I, I should go up and get an autograph."

The young man looked regretful after hearing this, and then stamped his feet, "Teacher Jiang, you have to help me later. It would be best if we can take a photo together."

"My grandmother, mother, and sisters all gave me tasks."

The young man spoke pitifully, and Jiang Wei laughed and said, "Okay, as long as you have a chance."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man's heart skipped a beat.

There are so many people here today, it's really hard for him to get a number.

"God bless me! Please give me an autograph."

Yang Xiaotao hurried to the office. Lou Xiao'e and Liu Lixue had already started working and a stack of documents were already on the table.

"I said, there's a large pile every day, are you sure you sent it to Lao Hong?"

Yang Xiaotao turned around the table and looked at Lou Xiaoe.

"It has been sent to Director Hong."

Lou Xiao'e said affirmatively.

"So, what about Lao Li?"

"delivered."

Liu Lixue added on the side.

"That"

"They were also sent to Secretary Liu and Director Yang."

Before Yang Xiaotao could finish, Lou Xiao'e reminded him and looked at the pile on the left. "This is the procurement plan for next year submitted by the research institute. Secretary Li said that you need to make the decision on this matter."

Ok.

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and then sat down to start processing the documents.

Liu Lixue and Lou Xiao'e looked at each other and continued to organize the information.

They agreed to finish their work early so they could go to the Great Hall to help and find a good seat to watch a movie.

At this moment, Yang Xiao was holding the report submitted by Liu Xiangdong from the Ordnance Research Institute.

The report clearly stated that the "main battle tank" project will be studied next year.

The new tank will use an eight-cylinder diesel engine produced by the original machinery factory. The armor will use some alloys to increase strength, and then the outer layer will be equipped with reactive armor to increase protection.

In addition, the installation of night vision goggles and gun aiming systems will greatly increase the combat performance of the main battle tank.

This is a beautiful blueprint when the Type 59 tank often has problems.

But Yang Xiaotao had no idea whether he could achieve the expectations.

After reading the report sent by Liu Xiangdong, Yang Xiaotao did not rush to make a decision.

After thinking for a while, he wrote the five words "automatic ammunition feeder" on the back.

If I remember correctly, this thing has already appeared.

And it was used in main battle tanks of later generations.

Since it exists, it is reasonable, so Yang Xiaotao doesn't mind doing it in one step.

Besides, he just needs to bring up the matter, and someone will naturally do the specific work.

After processing a document, put it aside and move on to the next one.

While Yang Xiaotao was busy processing documents, Liang Zuoxin was taking Chen Mingli to a meeting.

The person who chaired the meeting was Mr. Zeng from the Internal Affairs Department, and sitting opposite Liang Zuoxin was Wang Lei, and next to him was Song Tao.

There are only five people in the room.

But outside the house, there was a group of people standing by nervously.

"Xiao Song, tell me the situation."

Song Tao nodded immediately after hearing this, then picked up the information beside him and said, "Commander, after the last battle in Shanghai, we have already preliminarily grasped the movement trajectory of the 'Water Bird'."

"And after successfully using the water birds to release the message, the water birds have been under our surveillance."

"Due to the crash of the Blackbird reconnaissance plane, the other side has been very active recently. Of course, not only on the other side, but also in the north and south, there are some people who are joining in the fun and are very concerned about our news."

Song Tao briefly explained the situation and continued, "We have done a lot of preparation work, but..."

At this point, Song Tao was a little discouraged, but then he cheered up and said, "But I didn't expect that there would still be a loophole."

After he finished speaking, Liang Zuoxin and Chen Mingli looked at each other, then looked up at Mr. Zeng.

Seeing that the other party looked serious, he continued listening.

"We discovered a secret group lurking in the railway transportation department while tracking water birds."

"After our investigation, we found that these people are from the same family. Their elders worked in railway transportation and then arranged for their children to join the industry."

"I have been working in railway transport dispatching for many years and have a good understanding of the goods and important resources transported by railways."

"When we arrested them, they had already passed on some of the information they had collected."

"Among them, there are special metal materials for manufacturing aircraft."

“It is understood that this was a special investigation after they received the order.”

Song Tao finished speaking the message in one breath and then looked at everyone.

The room was terribly cold at this moment.
