Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2337 Cooperation requires sacrifice
When Yang Xiaotao returned to Sijiu City again, the sky had already darkened.

The car did not return to Jiubu. After saying goodbye to Chen Gong, it immediately drove to Siheyuan.

As the weather gets warmer, people don't have much to do at night, so chatting, playing chess and cards become the main activities at night.

Especially under the street lights, clusters of people gather together, making it extremely lively.

As he entered the alley, Yang Xiaotao met many acquaintances. After meeting them, he walked towards the courtyard.

Outside the gate, Yan Fugui was explaining something to Yan Jiekuang. When he saw Yang Xiaotao coming over, he smiled and said, "Xiao Yang is back."

"Uncle Yan is busy."

"Not busy, not busy. I just received a letter from my second son. I wrote a reply and asked my third son to run errands and put it in the mailbox."

Yan Fugui looked delighted, probably because Yan Jiefang had sent back a lot of things.

However, having said that, Yan Jiefang has now become the production supervisor of the second factory and his job is stable.

My wife gave birth to a fat boy, so I can be considered a family man now.

Compared to the original novel, Yan Jiefang has changed a lot.

So it is normal for Yan Fugui to be happy.

After saying a few words, Yang Xiaotao walked towards the central courtyard.

In two days, Comrade Lao Jin and Ms. Cui will return to Shanghai, and Yang Xiaotao will have to spend more time to accompany them.

When they arrived at the yard, Ran Qiuye was walking with Cui Ping with her bulging belly, and Ms. Cui was busy cooking!

Calculating the time, both of them are due around May.

In this situation, it is no longer suitable for them to work in the countryside. In addition, the education department is in a bit of chaos and no one cares about their affairs.

For this reason, Ran Qiuye went to the relevant departments to report it, but there was no result.

It just so happened that things were getting lively during this period, and Yang Xiaotao was also happy to see Ran Qiuye in the yard.

He also has the energy to focus on work.

When I came into the room, I saw Comrade Lao Jin and Lao Taoist fighting on the chessboard.

Yang Xiaotao came closer, took a look at the chess board, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

It shouldn't be possible that the veteran chess skills have been "honed" by him!
Maybe Comrade Lao Jin wants to leave, so the old Taoist should give way to him.

Just after taking two steps, I heard Lao Jin shouting, "Pick it up, pick it up and you have to go!"

"I'm thinking..."

"This is the rule! Don't cheat!"

"I…"

……

"Hey, if you eat my seeds, you have to put them in the box. That's what we agreed on!"

"Twice. If you do it again, you lose..."

"I…"

The old Taoist is speechless!

Yang Xiaotao paused.

Well, this is an unconventional trick!
that is…

So shameless!
After putting down his backpack, Yang Xiaotao asked Xiaowei to go to the yard to look after the vegetables and fruits planted.

The last time I cleared Mr. Ye’s body, it cost a lot.

So Xiaowei mainly accumulates energy during this period.

After returning home, Yang Xiaotao took the food out of the pot, ate a few bites, and then walked in the yard with his family.

Comrade Lao Jin has lived here for more than half a year. He has become familiar with everyone in the hospital and is reluctant to leave.

But he also knew that if the two of them lived here, they would have to be taken care of by their grandson's family, especially since his granddaughter-in-law was pregnant, which was not appropriate.

Besides, he also has to go back to Shanghai, especially the car factory he has run for most of his life. If he doesn't go, he will really miss it.

"Xiao Tao, don't you guys in the Nine Departments plan to build a car factory?"

After taking two steps, Lao Jin spoke again.

Yang Xiaotao understood Lao Jin's thoughts very clearly and knew that he was asking about the Shanghai Automobile Factory.

In his eyes, this is for the better development of the automobile factory.

But the reality is that in Yang Xiaotao's eyes, an independently developed automobile manufacturing plant is the most suitable.

Moreover, the future Shanghai Automobile Factory will have a reputation that is no worse than that of Jiefang.

At least, Yang Xiaotao doesn't have the energy to intervene now.

Yang Xiaotao shook his head directly, "I don't have such plans for the time being."

Lao Jin was a little disappointed, and then asked, "Is there anyone who wants to cooperate?"

"No."

Hearing Yang Xiaotao's straightforward answer, Lao Jin sighed helplessly.

Ms. Cui and Ran Qiuye on the side covered their mouths and laughed. In the end, Ms. Cui was familiar with her old man's thoughts, "You talk as if you can't live without the Nine Departments."

"The car factory is doing well now, why do you have to care about this and that?"

"You are a retired person now, so don't do anything bad."

Lao Jin curled his lips after hearing this, but did not refute.

Cooperation requires dedication.

What is there about the Shanghai automobile factory that is worthy of the attention of the Nine Departments?
If I insist, I will be using the resources of the Ninth Department to support the automobile factory.

What’s the difference between that and embezzlement?

"Forget it, everyone has their own destiny, so don't worry about it."

After hearing what Lao Jin said, Yang Xiaotao knew that the matter had come to an end for the time being.

The next day, the sun rose, the temperature rose, and the city was filled with spring.

Yang Xiaotao sat in the car, looking at the willow trees sprouting beside the road, thinking it was a good day for an outing.

Unfortunately, this kind of life will become less and less common in the future.

Arriving at the Ninth Department, Yang Xiaotao handled his official business as usual.

It was almost noon when he picked up the phone and called Li Chengjun at the second factory.

Li Chengjun returned to the Second Factory a few years ago and brought back the news of the establishment of the Ninth Department.

Of course, the current Second Factory has been renamed Red Star Machinery Factory.

This can be regarded as a kind of inheritance.

The people at the first branch factory had some objections to the name change. They felt that even if it was an inheritance, it should be the first branch factory. Now, although the first branch factory is also a machinery factory, the two words "Red Star" are missing.

This puzzled everyone from the factory director Sun Guo to the ordinary employees.

Later, when the Yanzhou branch learned about this, Zhan Lei also called and said that they were the same as the second branch, occupying all departments, and could also inherit the name.

Later, Yang Youning went there and explained the future plans of the branch factory, which calmed down his anger.

This shows the weight of the five words "Red Star Machinery Factory".

Therefore, when the second branch received the news, the whole factory was in an uproar.

Because it means that the superiors care about them and do not look down on them just because they are in a remote place. In the workshop.

Yan Jiefang is leading his team to inspect the production of a four-cylinder diesel engine.

"Director! Good morning."

At the entrance of the workshop, Yan Jiefang met Li Chengjun and Fang Yuan and hurried forward to greet them.

"Morning, Director Yan."

Li Chengjun smiled kindly, as he had some understanding of Yan Jiefang.

The most important thing is that this child is from the same courtyard as Yang Xiaotao, and it was Yang Xiaotao who encouraged him to come to the Northwest.

"Everything is fine in the workshop."

"Director, no problem, everything is fine."

Yan Jiefang said quickly, Li Chengjun nodded, and then walked towards the workshop.

"I heard you were studying recently?"

Yan Jiefang nodded, "Yes, I didn't study hard in school in the early years, but fortunately I picked it up and learned more."

"Well, it's a good habit. It's never too late to learn."

"You should learn from Yang Bu in this regard. I heard that he loved to study in his early years."

Speaking of Yang Xiaotao, Yan Jiefang nodded immediately, "Yes, Yang not only studies in the factory, but also keeps a book in his hand in the yard. When the rest of us are playing outside, he stays at home reading."

"Many people in the hospital laughed at Yang Bu at that time."

"Now, those who laugh at Yang's department have become a joke."

Yan Jiefang smiled. In his heart, Yang Xiaotao was his idol.

Even if he cannot reach Yang Xiaotao's level, it will be beneficial to him to learn from Yang Xiaotao.

What's more, his wife also encourages him to study.

"Yeah, anyone who laughs at the Yang Department is now a joke."

Li Chengjun smiled, then patted Yan Jiefang on the shoulder and said, "Study hard, you are still young, and there will be heavy responsibilities for you to shoulder in the future."

"Yes, I promise not to disappoint the leader."

Li Chengjun smiled and pounded his chest, "It's a request."

"You haven't read this book yet."

Yan Jiefang smiled embarrassedly.

Not far away, Liu Haizhong was hammering carefully with a hammer.

Also around him were the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

The Northwest is vast and sparsely populated, and even less industrialized.

Therefore, not many people can become workers.

"Dad, hurry up, stop looking."

Liu Guangtian wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted to Liu Haizhong who was standing there in a daze.

Liu Guangfu straightened his back after hearing this, looked at Yan Jiefang who was passing by not far away, then looked at Liu Haizhong, and then said, "Don't look at him, he is the director, forget it."

Liu Haizhong heard his two sons snort coldly, "What's wrong with the director? The director also serves the people."

"In terms of the revolutionary nature, directors and team leaders all take the lead in serving, and they are all the same."

Hearing their father starting the same old routine again, the two brothers looked at each other and walked aside to continue working.

"You two bastards, come here quickly."

Liu Haizhong saw that his audience had left and hurriedly shouted.

But Liu Guangtian shook his head and said, "We are working, so we don't have time."

"Hey, you two are itching for sex, right?"

Liu Haizhong acted like a parent, but the two brothers just shrugged their shoulders and were not afraid at all.

Now in this family, the two brothers are the main force.

Besides, I am in the same boat with the two of them. If Liu Haizhong still wants to act like a tyrant like Siheyuan, he can forget about it.

Seeing that the two ignored him, Liu Haizhong stretched out his fingers and trembled with anger, but he also knew what the two relied on, so he snorted coldly and said, "As the team leader, I now order you to come over and work."

Hearing Liu Haizhong say this, the two sighed.

The only thing that made the two brothers reluctant was that their team leader was their old man.

Seeing the two people coming, Liu Haizhong was very satisfied.

Then I felt the importance of "power".

Watching Yan Jiefang walking away, Liu Haizhong raised his eyebrows. If he remembered correctly, there was something wrong with Yan Jiefang's wife.

This is an opportunity.

"Director, Director Yang is calling you."

Hearing the secretary's voice not far away, Li Chengjun hurried to the office.

After the two got through on the phone, Yang Xiaotao announced some decisions of the Ninth Department, and then talked about security work.

"You have to do a solid job of security there."

"I'll transfer some people back for use after a while!"

Before hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao's two sentences made Li Chengjun realize the main purpose of this call.

After leaving the office, Li Chengjun planned to go talk to Mr. He.

Four Nine Cities.

Yang Xiaotao put down the phone, then got up and walked out.

Just now, Lou Xiao'e said that Mr. Song from the Chinese Academy of Sciences came to see him and is now accompanied by Mr. Hong in the reception room.

That's why he ended the call quickly.

"Mr. Song, we are honored to have such a distinguished guest like you."

Yang Xiaotao walked in with a smile, and Old Song stood up and said, "You are a distinguished guest. If this is a shabby room, then there is no good place."

"Sit down, sit down."

Yang Xiaotao said politely, then looked at Lao Hong.

The two have been chatting for a while, and they should have some ideas.

But Old Hong just smiled, and it was obvious that Old Song did not say anything.

"Mr. Song, what are you doing?"

Yang Xiaotao planned to ask directly. Although the two parties were not that familiar with each other, they were not strangers either.

Instead of wasting your breath, it is better to ask directly.

Mr. Song picked up the water cup and took a sip, then laughed and said, "Your Ninth Department has cooperated with 137 and the logistics department. What's wrong? Do you look down on our Chinese Academy of Sciences?"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch."

"Mr. Song, you can't say that. If you tell others and they misunderstand you, our Nine Departments won't be able to do anything else."

Yang Xiaotao quickly explained. Seeing this, Mr. Song did not say much and said directly, "I came here this time because I want to cooperate with you to develop integrated circuit computers."

Now it was Yang Xiaotao's turn to be surprised, but after going through so many ups and downs, he had learned to stay calm when happy. He calmly picked up the cup on the table and took a sip, then asked solemnly, "Mr. Song, how do you want to cooperate?"
