Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2385 Senior Meeting
The uncle didn't stay in the yard for long. He chatted briefly with Yang Xiaotao and then left.

Yang Xiaotao sent the car out of the alley, and stood there in a daze, watching the car drive away.

Thinking of what his uncle had promised, this "deal", apart from other things, these martyrs must be welcomed back, Yang Xiaotao's heart was filled with mixed emotions, "Once it's settled, I must tell Platoon Leader Du and let him fulfill this wish."

Thinking to myself, I turned around and prepared to go home.

As soon as I turned around, I saw a person walking towards me with a bag in his hand.

Yang Xiaotao squinted his eyes and after confirming that it was Qin Huairu, he turned and walked towards the alley.

Qin Huairu looked tired as she carried her bag.

This time I went to the countryside to visit Yi Zhonghai and Auntie. I gave them a lot of things, but I also brought a lot back.

All in all, I still made some money on this trip.

More importantly, through an old lady, she learned about Sha Zhu's situation.

The last time she heard Qin Jingru talk about Sha Zhu, she became suspicious and took the opportunity to visit Yi Zhonghai to tell the two of them the news.

Upon learning about Sha Zhu's experience, Yi Zhonghai sighed, and Auntie couldn't bear it even more, so she found an opportunity to visit Sha Zhu and ask about him.

I heard from an old lady that Sha Zhu had an argument with the village captain, and because he was drunk and not thinking well, he beat the man to a cripple.

As for the reason, Sha Zhu hesitated and didn't say anything.

Then there is the relationship between Sha Zhu and Shen Cuihua that she is concerned about.

As expected, people like Sha Zhu who have been in jail will never be able to wash away their guilt for the rest of their lives.

How can we continue the marriage because of the child's composition?

When Sha Zhu was sentenced, Shen Cuihua divorced him.

After hearing what the aunt said, Qin Huairu had more thoughts in her mind.

Of course, for Xiaodang and Huaihua, she would not reconcile with Shazhu.

But, we can take care of each other together.

It's only about five or six years, and if they behave well, they can be released early, which is just right for the two of them to continue living together.

She was sure she could catch Shazhu.

Besides, Sha Zhu is a craftsman with cooking skills, so he won’t starve to death if he goes out.

The most important thing is that Sha Zhu can earn money working there, just like Xu Damao. He can save a few dollars for Qin Jingru every month. He can't use the money there, so he might as well give it to himself.

Thinking of this, Qin Huairu's wishful thinking started to click, and the bag in her hands didn't feel heavier anymore.

As soon as I looked up and saw that familiar figure, most of my good mood was gone.

We are not afraid of comparing goods, but we are afraid of comparing ourselves to others.

People are more dead than people.

My own day.
Seeing Yang Xiaotao turn and leave, Qin Huairu could only slow down and keep his distance.

After returning home, Yang Xiaotao took care of the children and let them rest, then talked with Ran Qiuye for a while before lying down to rest.

In the following days, Yang Xiaotao took the old Taoist priest Ye Lao to work and back home as usual.

Things at work are going smoothly and various projects are progressing in an orderly manner.

After get off work, I go home and take a walk with my wife, and we go out to play on weekends.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Yang Xiaotao calculated the days and found that it would be hot when the child was born.

How can my wife take care of herself during the confinement period in such a hot day?

That day, after Yang Xiaotao arrived at the Ninth Department, he received a call from Mr. Chen, saying that a meeting was organized at 1:00 p.m. and asked him and Li Hongfeng not to be late.

Yang Xiaotao wanted to find out what the meeting was about, but Mr. Chen didn't reveal anything.

When Yang Xiaotao and Li Hongfeng arrived at the meeting place, the Great Hall, they realized that this meeting was not simple.

After stopping the car, Yang Xiaotao saw Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia chatting with Mr. Qin and Mr. Zhang.

Not far away, Mr. Qian from the Second Ministry of Machine Building also got out of the car and walked towards this side with a middle-aged man.

"Mr. Huang, Mr. Xia."

Yang Xiaotao hurried forward to greet them.

"You're not here early."

Old Qin spoke up and said that he had been busy with research on the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft recently.

It is said that many research results have been achieved.

"It's a long way, and there's traffic jam."

Yang Xiaotao took out a cigarette and lit it for a few people, saying, "The road is long? Traffic jam? I don't believe you!"

Mr. Qin said this rudely, while Mr. Huang and Mr. Zhang laughed beside him.

Then several people walked into the conference hall.

Walking and chatting at the same time.

Soon, several people arrived at the meeting place. Many people were standing guard around. It was the first time for Yang Xiaotao to attend a meeting of this level, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

As for Li Hongfeng, like Yang Xiaotao, he is like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Several people entered the room and looked at the long table which was filled with a row of enamel mugs, a white notebook, and a fountain pen.

In addition, there are table signs.

Several people found their seats and sat down quickly.

The order is according to the order of the machine ministries, one on the left and two on the right. Yang Xiaotao and his team are at the rear of the Seventh Machine Ministry and in front of the Logistics Department. Opposite them are Mr. Zhou from the Sixth Machine Ministry and Mr. Yan from the Eighth Machine Ministry.

As for Li Hongfeng and others, they sat behind the corresponding positions.

After everyone sat down, Old Qin poked Yang Xiaotao, "I heard that you guys made a lot of money from the calculator business? You shouldn't treat us?"

"By the way, I heard that Lao Zhang gave you a lot of gifts. You can't be too stingy, right?"

After Qian Lao finished speaking, Zhou Lao from the Sixth Machine Department came over with a smile and said, "I also heard that you are researching solar cells. What's the progress?"

At this time, Mr. Qian from the Second Ministry of Machine Building also interrupted and said, "I am more concerned about the progress of your computer research."

Yang Xiaotao was already having a hard time dealing with Old Qin, and now several people suddenly appeared, which made him feel overwhelmed.

Li Hongfeng, who came with them, had never seen such a scene before. Facing the questions from the big guys, he just leaned back in his chair, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.

Cough
"Mr. Qin, you need evidence to speak. Mr. Zhang saw that our researchers were working hard, so he sent us drinks as a token of consolation."

Yang Xiaotao picked up the enamelware cup on the table and took a sip. The tea in it was very good, with a sweet fragrance and the temperature was just right.

Old Qin snorted and looked like he was saying, "I don't believe you at all."

"As for solar cells and computers, we are researching them."

"It's just that we haven't achieved any significant progress yet." Yang Xiaotao then gave a simple reply, but Mr. Qian from the Second Ministry of Machine Building just smiled and said, "That's not what Mr. Song from the Chinese Academy of Sciences said."

"What did he say?"

Old Qin was very curious and looked at Old Qian, wanting to know the answer.

"He said that the computer research of the Ninth Department has reached the forefront of the country, and even the Chinese Academy of Sciences and our Second Department cannot compare with it."

"If nothing else, the production of high-purity silicon is very different between our two companies."

"I also took a look at your silicon crystals, which are better than ours."

"And the integrated circuits used in your calculators are also very well made. We really can't copy them."

Everyone knows that Old Qian never tells lies. If he said that, it means that Yang Xiaotao's nine parts are really in the forefront.

Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia were smiling with satisfaction, just like their own children being praised by the neighbors for getting into college.

As for the others, of course they were shocked.

"Mr. Qian, this is all the result of the hard work of our comrades."

"And thanks to Master Ye's guidance, we have achieved our current results."

Yang Xiaotao knows that he should be humble when necessary, and he also knows that humility helps people progress. He doesn't want to be too aggressive.

As he was speaking, another person came in from behind. It was Mr. Wang from the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building.

Seeing that Yang Xiaotao and the others were ready, he hurried over, smiling as he looked for a seat, "Oh, long time no see, comrades."

"Really, I miss you."

Mr. Wang greeted everyone one by one, found a seat, sat down directly, and then became polite to Mr. Huang and the others.

At the end, he stretched out his hand to Yang Xiaotao. Yang Xiaotao was speechless and could only take out the cigarette box and hand it to him again.

Mr. Wang lit a cigarette and asked casually, "Why are we all here this time? Why is it so serious?"

"I don't know. Lao Chen didn't say."

Old Qin said this, then looked towards the door and said in surprise, "Did Old Eight send someone here too?"

"It's not easy, it's not easy."

The Eighth Ministry of Machine Building was responsible for agricultural machinery. There was some overlap with the First Ministry of Machine Building, but the Eighth Ministry of Machine Building was closer to the Ministry of Agriculture, and its personnel also came from the Ministry of Agriculture.

When everyone looked over, they saw an old man in plain clothes, leaning on a cane, followed by a middle-aged man, walking inside.

"That's Old Yan from the Eighth Machinery Department, and behind him is the successor they trained, Xu Wei."

Elder Wang explained to Yang Xiaotao, "This Xu Wei is the last disciple of President Deng of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."

Yang Xiaotao nodded after hearing this.

The two walked up to them, and Old Yan smiled and greeted everyone, "Everyone, I hope you are in good health."

"I'm fine, Lao Yan, how come you have three legs now?"

"Yes, Lao Yan, stop struggling, hand over your shift and go back to enjoy your life."

"That's right. Xiao Xu is so outstanding. You are just worrying about nothing."

Everyone came forward to greet him and make some jokes.

Old Yan was talking to everyone with a smile, and when it was Yang Xiaotao's turn, Old Yan's face was even more loving.

"Hello, Mr. Yan."

Yang Xiaotao was polite, but Old Yan shook his head, and everyone was a little confused.

Then I heard Old Yan say, "It would be even better if you could go to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences."

"I can also retire early and not have to worry about this anymore."

Yang Xiaotao scratched his head, feeling a little amused and helpless.

It's been such a long time, why are you still talking about this?

"Mr. Yan, you think too highly of me."

Xu Wei, who followed by the side, stepped forward with a smile, "Minister Yang, nice to meet you."

"Although this is the first time we met, we have had intersections for a long time."

Xu Wei spoke with a smile, but Yang Xiaotao was a little confused.

Then Xu Wei continued, "I was the one who investigated your paper."

"It's a shame to have Director Huo, otherwise we wouldn't have wasted three years of good things that benefit the country and the people."

After Xu Wei said this, Yang Xiaotao immediately understood.

When Yangjiazhuang achieved a good harvest using Yangcun No. 1, Director Huo at the grain station did not take it seriously at all. He thought it was a fraud and did not report it.

Later, Ding Deliang reported it many times before it was finally discovered by investigators.

Just thinking of Ding Deliang, Yang Xiaotao's heart darkened again.

"I didn't expect it was you. I'm so sorry."

Yang Xiaotao was distracted for just a moment and then came back to his senses.

"Don't dare."

Xu Wei quickly spoke modestly, and then asked in a low voice, "Minister Yang, have you not been researching corn in recent years?"

Yang Xiaotao shook his head. "I have done everything I can. Besides, hybrid rice has been a success, right? I will just let it go."

"That won't work. You are the first person in the country to do hybridization."

"I say, are you two still going on? Hurry up and go into the meeting."

As the two were talking, Mr. Wang coughed twice, interrupting their conversation.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao quickly smiled at Xu Wei, then sat down and waited obediently.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, you are just a worker, why are you messing around?"

"By the way, have you made the alloy material yet?"

"We are still waiting."

"I heard that the new material can withstand higher temperatures better? If so, can you give us less silicon?"

Mr. Wang started his shameless daily routine again. Yang Xiaotao had long been accustomed to it and simply ignored him.

After a while, Mr. Zhao from the Fourth Ministry of Machine Building and Mr. Xu from the Fifth Ministry of Machine Building also arrived.

Yang Xiaotao took a quick look and saw that the heads of all nine machinery departments in the entire industry were there, plus Mr. Qin from the Logistics Department. He didn't dare to say much about the specifications of this meeting, but it was definitely a high-end meeting.

Moreover, with these people gathered together, something big must be happening at this meeting.
