Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2363: Need a Sea-Suppressing Needle
Yang Xiaotao was picking leeks in the kitchen when he heard Ran's mother's voice at the door, "Xiaotao, there are guests."

When Yang Xiaotao heard that there were guests coming, his first feeling was one of discomfort.

I finally got a day off, and now he's coming home.

Let's not give people a break.

So he stood up with the leeks in his hand. He wanted to see who was looking for him at this critical moment.

Just as he went out, he saw the person coming and a look of surprise appeared on his face, "Brother Han, Brother Wang."

Seeing several people appearing in the yard, the leaders were Han Xuanfeng and Wang Huzi.

Yang Xiaotao put the leeks in his hand aside, wiped them on his clothes and walked forward.

"Brother Han, Brother Wang, why are you two here?"

When they come up to me, I hug them one by one.

"Hurry, come in, come in."

Yang Xiaotao met the two men, said hello to the guard Xiao Wu behind him, and went into the house to greet them.

The three of them walked into the yard.

"Are you cooking?"

When Wang Huzi came into the house, he saw a bunch of leeks at the door.

"Hey, my wife is pregnant and she's getting hungry, so I'm going to prepare some scrambled eggs!"

Yang Xiaotao was explaining at the side. Ran Qiuye heard the noise in the room and came out, just in time to hear Yang Xiaotao talking.

Then her face turned red and she rolled her eyes at Yang Xiaotao.

"Brother Wang, Brother Han."

Ran Qiuye had met both of them before. Although she was not very familiar with them, she would remember everyone Yang Xiaotao knew.

What's more, Yang Xiaotao's attitude towards these two people is not ordinary.

Wang Huzi heard this and saw Ran Qiuye again, smiled and nodded, then immediately smiled at Yang Xiaotao and said, "You are good at this, you can balance work and life, and revolution at the same time!"

Yang Xiaotao patted his chest and said, "Of course, we must support the revolutionary construction! We can't fall behind!"

Ran Qiuye walked up to the two men and said, "Brother Wang, Brother Han, have some tea!"

"He is just greedy and has to use me as an excuse!"

After saying that, he winked at Yang Xiaotao, who immediately nodded and admitted, "Yes, yes, I'm hungry!"

"Brother Han, you went to the south to recuperate. Your face looks a lot paler."

Yang Xiaotao sat opposite the two men and joked, "Look at Brother Wang. You can tell he's been through a lot, and he doesn't even have time to take care of his beard."

Wang Huzi nodded immediately after hearing this. "Hey, you're right. I just straightened it on the plane, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see anyone."

"Unlike this guy, Old Han, who went to the south and ate delicious food and drank spicy drinks. He ate a lot of delicious food from abroad."

Seeing Wang Huzi say this, Han Xuanfeng also laughed and said, "Of course, I sit in the office all the time."

"Those were the days when there was no wind or rain, and we drank and smoked every day, and slept on a soft mattress at night. Those were the days that were so enjoyable."

As he spoke, he waved to the guard outside and said, "I didn't come empty-handed this time. I brought two down quilts. These are from Portugal, pure goose down, but they are both light and warm."

As he spoke, the guard brought in two large woven bags and placed them aside.

Yang Xiaotao quickly refused, "Brother Han, this won't do. It's too expensive."

This thing is not cheap even abroad, let alone in China.

If you want to buy it, it will probably cost a lot of money.

And you have to have connections.

If it wasn't too rare, Yang Xiaotao would have exchanged it from the exchange column long ago.

"Okay, it's for my sister-in-law, not for you."

After Han Xuanfeng finished speaking, Ran Qiuye also declined.

It's not easy to get a new quilt these days, let alone a down quilt like this.

Luxury goods, absolute luxury goods.

"Sister-in-law, put it down quickly. This is a token of my brother's love."

Seeing that Ran Qiuye was also refusing, Han Xuanfeng began to frown. Wang Huzi next to him also tried to persuade her. Yang Xiaotao could only nod to Ran Qiuye.

There's nothing we can do. The gift has already been delivered to the door, and everyone knows whether you accept it or not.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao agreed, Ran Qiuye put the gift away.

Before leaving, Yang Xiaotao gave some instructions and called Lao Hong over.

Ran Qiuye nodded and left, and the three continued to talk and laugh.

Yang Xiaotao picked up the teapot and poured water for the two of them. "So, you two discussed this together?"

Wang Huzi and Han Xuanfeng looked at each other and then nodded.

"There's a meeting going on upstairs, but some people haven't arrived yet. We'll team up to look for you if we have nothing to do."

"I called your ninth department. Liu Huaimin said you were at home, so I came to find you right away."

Wang Huzi explained, and Yang Xiaotao looked speechless. "I'm just afraid of being found, so I'm resting at home."

"I didn't expect that you two would find it."

Han Xuanfeng picked up the water cup and took a sip, then said with a smile, "Do you really think you can be safe if you hide at home? Let me tell you, this meeting is most likely related to you. You can't escape."

Yang Xiaotao shrugged, "I've thought about it. There will definitely be more work to do later, so I'm taking a break while I'm still working."

Wang Huzi shook his head, "You, this is not a disadvantage at all."

"No, no, it's a blessing to suffer a loss. If you say so, I can't blame you for feeling upset."

They both laughed when they heard this.

Then the three of them poured tea and drank water and started chatting casually.

Yang Xiaotao also had a general understanding of the two people's situation.

I had heard from my uncle before that Han Xuanfeng was in charge of matters at the Guangdong government. Now that he is back, Yang Xiaotao also wants to inquire about the situation at Peninsula Hospital.

After all, there are people from the Nine Departments there.

Of course, that is also an important 'client' of their nine departments.

"The situation abroad is starting to improve, some medicines are starting to work, and the human body has developed resistance, which is similar to a cold."

Han Xuanfeng took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then talked about the situation in Peninsula Hospital.

"The number of patients is now half of what it was before, and patients coming for treatment are no longer mainly suffering from epidemic diseases, but are coming for various symptoms."

"Then there are the health products you guys have developed. Now the number of people lining up outside the hospital every day is enough to circle the hospital twice."

"Local people make a lot of money by reselling them."

After hearing what Han Xuanfeng said, Yang Xiaotao didn't expect that there would be scalpers in Peninsula Hospital now, and it seemed that they were making a lot of money.

"However, the Guangdong government is expanding its scale, and the output of medicinal liquor will double in the second half of the year, which will increase foreign exchange a lot."

Han Xuanfeng added, and then saw Yang Xiaotao smiling, "Brother Han, have you tried this medicinal wine?"
Wang Huzi choked on his tea, and Han Xuanfeng reacted and laughed, "I tried it, it's good."

Then he looked at Wang Huzi and said, "Old Wang, have you tried it too?"

Wang Huzi gathered his thoughts and said, "We also have an exit over there."

"Oh~"

Yang Xiaotao and Han Xuanfeng made strange noises, and Wang Huzi could only wipe his beard.

However, the effect of the medicinal wine is really good.

After Han Xuanfeng finished speaking, Wang Huzi also talked about the Northwest Red Star Machinery Factory.

"When I came, there was still a lot of construction going on there. I heard that they were going to build a workshop specifically for producing engines."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, he approved this matter.

"We plan to produce aircraft engines there as well, just to prepare in advance."

"By the way, are Mr. He and the others okay?"

Wang Huzi nodded, "It's fine. We are preparing for the spring sports meeting during this period."

"By the way, they are still thinking about forming a team to compete with the headquarters. I guess we will know soon."

"Sports meet, that's a good idea."

Yang Xiaotao thought about it and decided that it was not impossible to participate in this kind of sports activity.

We can't hold cultural performances every year.

The three of them were chatting, and soon Lao Hong's voice was heard from outside the door.

"I heard that you two were back, so I made a special trip to the supply and marketing cooperative."

Then they saw Lao Hong walk in with two bottles of wine. After hearing his cheerful voice, the three of them quickly stood up to greet him.

Wang Huzi even went forward and gave Lao Hong a hug.

The two had a good relationship in the Northwest before.

"You guy, you didn't gain weight after coming back, this shouldn't be the case!"

"Is the food in the Ninth Department too bad? Why don't you come back with me?"

Wang Huzi joked, Lao Hong put the bottle of wine on the table, and then patted his stomach, "Stop talking, this time, the little bit of fat in my stomach has been drained out by all these things!"

Han Xuanfeng laughed and said, "You are now the chief steward of the Nine Departments, your pockets are bulging, and you drink two bottles of wine at a time, and you still say you don't have money!"

"You are so good, Han Xuanfeng, even drinking can't stop your mouth."

"Next time I'll bring you a pig's ear."

Lao Hong smiled, and Yang Xiaotao added, "No need for next time, we have some at home."

Yang Xiaotao let the three of them chat while he went to the kitchen and started cooking.

I was originally thinking of going fishing, but I guess there will be one less dish on the table tonight!
Ran Qiuye and her mother helped out, and soon the table of food was ready.

Three cold dishes, three hot dishes, and two bottles of wine.

The four of them sat together, eating and chatting.

Because Han Xuanfeng and Wang Huzi had to attend a meeting in the afternoon, they only talked briefly and then started talking about the battle.

Yang Xiaotao and Han Xuanfeng are both considered first-line talents. Although Wang Huzi doesn't know them, he has heard of them.

As for Lao Hong, he knows everything Yang Xiaotao knows.

However, among the four, except Yang Xiaotao, the remaining three are generals, and have their own unique understanding of war and tactics.

Although Yang Xiaotao has never experienced this, he has seen a pig run even if he has not eaten pork.

When Wang Huzi talked about the battle situation, Yang Xiaotao was able to interrupt and say a few words.

When Han Xuanfeng talked about tactics, Yang Xiaotao was able to interrupt and say a few words.

When Lao Hong talked about strategy, Yang Xiaotao was still able to interrupt and say a few words.

The four of them ate and chatted, and didn't separate until mid-afternoon.

After seeing the two off, Lao Hong stood beside Yang Xiaotao and suddenly laughed.

"Get ready."

After hearing this, Yang Xiao suddenly sighed.

"As soon as they arrived, I knew this was going to happen."

Lao Hong laughed unkindly again, "Yeah, although these two guys didn't say anything, but..."

Then he turned around and looked at Yang Xiaotao, "What can you do?"

Yang Xiaotao looked up at the sky, "Yeah, what can I do?"

The two looked at each other for a moment and suddenly laughed together.

In the car, Han Xuanfeng and Wang Huzi sat together.

Each of them leaned against a car door, with the window open to get rid of the smell of alcohol.

If they go to the meeting drunk, President Peng will probably make them stand and listen.

"Old Han, you are not kind."

"You prepared the gift yourself without telling me."

Wang Huzi was the first to attack. Han Xuanfeng's face twitched, and he immediately introduced, "These are the two extra beds that Ms. Li Rong from the Foreign Trade Department asked me to bring back."

"Otherwise, I can prepare this."

"Don't say anything, at least you should give me a heads up in advance, you are so disloyal."

Wang Huzi turned his head away, but Han Xuanfeng sighed after hearing it.

"Brother Wang, it's not that I think too much, I really have no choice."

Han Xuanfeng's expression became solemn. Wang Huzi took out a cigarette and handed it to him. They both lit it.

"Now, the Seventh Team over there is becoming more and more rampant."

"Just before I took off, they approached again with ships and planes. What's even more hateful is that the dogs and cats of Dayuan rushed in front."

"Our ship is not working, so we can only rely on the plane."

"So the main purpose of my coming this time is to ask for the Sea-Suppressing Divine Needle."

"At the very least, make the people over there behave themselves and stop causing trouble all day long."

Han Xuanfeng puffed on the cigarette, sparks and smoke coming out, then he turned his head to look at Wang Huzi.

"Brother Wang, you have to help me with this matter. Don't let that guy Lao Zhang make things worse."

Wang Huzi extinguished his cigarette and threw it out of the car. "No one needs to help you with this matter. Just think of this meal as free."

"Besides, your two duvets are worth two planes."

"Relax, Chief. We all know."

Han Xuanfeng nodded slightly after hearing this and then said nothing more.
