Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2478 A Match Given Special Significance
The next day, the sun was shining brightly and noisy sounds could be heard in the courtyard.

Yang Xiaotao opened his eyes, turned over to look at the alarm clock on the bedside table, then lay back down on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.

It was already ten o'clock in the morning, but he had no intention of getting up.

Just thinking, lie down a little longer.

But the noise in the yard was getting louder and louder, and Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to get up, put on his clothes, and walk towards the living room with his shoes on.

in the living room.

Ran Qiuye was holding Dudu and chatting with Cuiping, Liu Yuhua and others. Aunt Zhou and Ran's mother were busy picking vegetables. They whispered to each other from time to time with satisfied smiles on their faces.

"Did you wake up?"

"He can sleep better than your Dudu."

Cuiping was holding Qianqian and couldn't help but joke when she saw Yang Xiaotao coming out.

Yang Xiaotao smiled and walked over to Ran Qiuye and sat down, "Who doesn't want to sleep in on the weekend?"

He picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

Cui Ping grinned and said, "Stop talking. My eldest child just can't get up to go to school on weekdays."

"But when the holiday came, you hadn't even opened your eyes yet, and this guy had already dressed and gone out to play."

"You don't even have to eat."

Ran Qiuye nodded after hearing this, "Yes, those people in my family ran away a long time ago."

"Asking them to learn to read is like forcing them to jump into a fire pit."

Cui Ping nodded quickly, "That's right, especially his father, who doesn't care at all and even spoils him. What do you think we should do?"

"I'm telling you, this kid..."

Ran Qiuye immediately started talking to Cuiping about her parenting experiences. Liu Yuhua, who was standing nearby, also became interested and interrupted to say a few words.

After listening for a while, Yang Xiaotao felt that if these three mothers continued chatting, the children in the courtyard would suffer.

So he decisively hugged Dudu, and then looking at Qianqian with big eyes staring at him, he reached out and hugged Qianqian as well.

"Oh, this wife is heavier than Dudu."

Yang Xiaotao held one in each hand and weighed them twice.

The three stopped discussing and smiled as they looked at Yang Xiaotao holding the two children.

The two little guys were used to their mother's gentle embrace, and they were immediately unhappy when they were suddenly moved to another place.

But the next second, they felt their vision became higher, and the two kids immediately started dancing with their hands and feet.

"Don't scare them."

Ran Qiuye saw Yang Xiaotao lift up Dudu and said hurriedly, but Yang Xiaotao didn't care, "It's okay, just get used to it in advance."

Liu Yuhua smiled and said, "Brother Tao really likes children."

"Unlike my Kuizi, who loves his daughter without knowing how to love her."

Ran Qiuye looked at Yang Xiaotao after hearing this and said, "He only kissed when he was a child. When the child grew up, who did you see him kiss?"

"Why didn't you kiss me? I miss you so much."

"I don't know you yet?"

Ran Qiuye glared at him, and Yang Xiaotao decisively picked up Dudu and said, "Come on, Dad will take you to the yard to play."

Having said that, he walked out without caring whether Dudu and Qianqian were willing or not.

When I came to the yard, I saw a group of children chasing each other. If the one leading them was not Stone, then who was it?
Who else could that guy with leaves stuck on his head and dirt on his clothes be but Duanwu?
The key point is that this guy was chased around by several little girls in the yard. It was really embarrassing.

"You little brat, you need to be taught a lesson."

Thinking in his mind, he walked aside holding the two children.

"Uncle Wang, when will you step down?"

Wang Dashan was playing chess with Grandpa Li in the yard at the door of his house. When he saw Yang Xiaotao coming over, he immediately smiled and reached out to hug the child.

"This Dudu is so handsome."

As he said that, he reached down with his rough big hand. Uncle Li at the side laughed and said, "I see you want to hold your grandchild. You are greedy."

"Go, go, go. You're everywhere."

Last year, Wang Jun found a partner, a city dweller.

But there has been no news for almost two years, and the old couple are very anxious.

"I have everything. I tell you, Old Yan and his family went to the northwest to see their grandchildren."

"If your Wang Jun doesn't hurry up, hehe, there's no guarantee that he'll have a second one."

Several people around who were watching the fun also joined in the noise, and spoke in a very serious manner, which made Wang Dashan really anxious.

"You guys are just worrying about nothing. Old Wang gave birth to three children in one go. How can anything happen to my child?"

"It will definitely be no problem. I will definitely be able to hold my grandson in my arms after the New Year."

Wang Dashan started arguing with several old men around him, and Yang Xiaotao took the opportunity to take his son back and escape from his clutches.

Chi Chi
Suddenly, a loud speaker at the entrance of the alley sounded, and the noise of the crowd was immediately suppressed.

"Here's a piece of good news!"

Then I heard a voice coming from inside, a little distorted, but still clear.

"Here is a piece of good news. In yesterday's Olympic Games, during the women's volleyball quarter-finals, our women's volleyball team showed the spirit of not fearing loss, not fearing strong enemies, and daring to fight with bayonets."

"In the end, we defeated the United States women's volleyball team with absolute advantage, and raised our country's prestige."

"This proves once again that imperialism is a paper tiger and is not something to be feared."

"As long as we dare to fight, victory will surely belong to us."

"The great revolutionary cause will surely last for a long time"

The loud speaker emitted inspiring words which reached everyone's ears.

"This is, winning the United States?"

Wang Dashan scratched his ears and said in disbelief.

The Olympic Games issue caused a lot of buzz a while ago. Not to mention the whole country, even in the surrounding areas of Beijing, every factory participated.

Their meat processing plant also recommended several good guys to participate in the Olympics.

Unfortunately, none of them were selected.

Now, when they suddenly heard that the women's volleyball team had defeated the United States, everyone felt a little unbelievable.

When it comes to fighting, young and old are not afraid of it.

But this is playing ball.

I always feel it's not that simple.

When the people around heard Wang Dashan's doubts, many of them looked at Yang Xiaotao.

He is the biggest and fastest source of information in this hospital.

But this is the first time Yang Xiaotao knows this.

Moreover, he was even more shocked at this moment.

Could it be that my arrival really allowed the women's volleyball team to step onto the podium ahead of schedule?

Everyone looked over, and Yang Xiaotao finally reacted. He immediately carried the child back home, followed by a group of people.

Ran Qiuye, Cui Ping and others also heard the news on the loudspeaker and were similarly shocked.

Yang Xiaotao ran in, handed the child to the two of them, and then quickly turned on the radio.

In an instant, the room became eerily quiet.

Soon, after a period of adjustment, a deep male voice came from the radio.

"We interviewed the head coach of the women's volleyball team, Comrade Luo Zhen, who said here that she would lead the women's volleyball team to go all out to bring glory to the country and the revolution."

After explaining how the women's volleyball team fought tenaciously with a revolutionary spirit, the announcer continued, "Next, we will face the champion of the previous Edo Olympics and the favorite to win the women's volleyball championship in this Olympics, the Japanese women's volleyball team."

"They relied on their flexible tactics and varied play styles to successfully defeat the league women's volleyball team and achieved"

"The semi-final will be held in two days. I hope our women's volleyball team can continue to fight hard."

"Kill the Japs."

Suddenly a roar exploded in his ears and Yang Xiaotao was startled.

I was listening to the radio just now, and suddenly someone shouted in my ear, and then the whole courtyard was filled with angry shouts, "Kill the Japanese!"

Yang Xiaotao was a little dazed. Shouldn't he be happy that he had defeated the United States?
This is the United States, shouldn't we be excited?

Why did you change your target so quickly?

Sure enough, in the hearts of Chinese people, the number one thing is still a simple life.

However, Yang Xiaotao was clear that the fact that the women's volleyball team could face Xiao Rizi this time was most likely the result of his own time travel.

I just hope that this time the women’s volleyball team can withstand the pressure and defeat the Japanese.

"Kill the Japs."

I heard Duanwu's roar, and the little fist he raised looked really real. "This kid is pretty good."

I completely forgot who just said that we should educate him well.

Soon, the performance of the women's volleyball team became the topic of conversation in the streets and yards.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the time and it was almost noon, so he packed up, took Miaomiao and Duanwu, and drove to the train station to meet Comrade Lao Jin.

After waiting at the train station for about half an hour, Yang Xiaotao finally saw Comrade Lao Jin carrying a lot of bags, with his grandmother Ms. Cui and his aunt Jin Pingping following behind him.

The three of them saw Yang Xiaotao at a glance and then quickly walked forward.

Yang Xiaotao came forward, and Miaomiao and Duanwu ran the fastest and threw themselves into their grandma's arms.

Comrade Lao Jin on the side had already opened his arms, but unfortunately, it was in vain.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and picked up the bag that had been put down, "Grandpa, you guys came pretty quickly."

Lao Jin smiled and said, "I think the train is too slow!"

After saying a few words, Yang Xiaotao greeted his grandmother and aunt, "Qiuye is preparing food at home, so we can go back and eat."

Grandma and aunt each hugged one and were very happy to see Yang Xiaotao.

"This child has grown taller again!"

Duanwu was touched on the head by Ms. Cui and his face was full of smiles.

Because the old lady is here, there is someone to support us.

Jin Pingping even took out a red bow from her pocket and pinned it directly on Miaomiao's head.

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Hey, Miaomiao is so good."

The group was very happy to see each other and then walked towards the car together.

"I heard you've started several new projects?"

As soon as they got on the car and left the train station, Comrade Lao Jin couldn't wait to ask questions. Before Yang Xiaotao answered, Ms. Cui in the back seat became unhappy.

"Why are you in such a hurry to come here? You ask about work as soon as you get here. Are you here to see the kids or to work?"

"If that's the case, don't come next time and stay at home."

When Comrade Lao Jin heard this, he immediately shrank his neck and smiled sullenly on his face.

Yang Xiaotao whispered, "It's not a big project. I just built a plane. It just had its first successful flight yesterday."

"Plane, Desert Eagle, right? I know."

Cough
Ms. Cui coughed twice, and Comrade Jin immediately lowered his voice.

Yang Xiaotao smiled. It could be seen that Comrade Lao Jin's bronchitis had worsened again.

"I heard you also built a locomotive and a tunnel boring machine?"

"Yes, it was done a while ago, but it has been divided up. The shield machine was given to the First Machinery Department, and the locomotive is from the Transportation Department."

Yang Xiaotao briefly explained the situation, and Comrade Lao Jin nodded with satisfaction.

He felt that what Yang Xiaotao did was right.

No matter how big the pancake is, you can’t become fat by eating it in one bite.

Instead, the pancakes are broken into pieces and distributed. Those who have tasted the benefits will join the ranks of pancake-making. The more people make pancakes, the more pancakes can be made and the more people will eat.

If these two projects are successful, it will be of great help to Yang Xiaotao.

The positions of these nine departments will become more and more stable.

In the future, maybe we can reach even higher levels.

"By the way, have you heard about our country's women's volleyball?"

Yang Xiaotao took the initiative to change the subject, and soon everyone in the car started discussing it.

Until outside the courtyard gate, everyone was still talking about the next game, and each of them was looking forward to defeating Xiao Rizi.

One stone stirs up a thousand ripples. While Beijing and even the whole of China were discussing the women's volleyball team, the people on the Japanese island were also talking about the upcoming game.

Since the last execution of the resistance plan, the blue ghost has been able to circle over the island country and return safely.

This directly broke the defenses of the island nation.

Some cried, some made a fuss, some laughed, some ran away, some marched, and some committed suicide.

Some people even shouted slogans of friendship and peace, calling for unity and friendship.

But no one dared to speak out and ask for revenge.

There's no way, they really don't have that ability.

And I dare not retaliate.

The person who knows you best is always your enemy.

Because they are always studying you, studying how to defeat you, and also studying how to guard against you.

So, although they didn't say it, they all knew in their hearts that if the other party really wanted to do the things they did in those years, they would never show mercy.

A while ago, the enemy's planes flew overhead, which means that they already have the ability to perform surgical operations on them.

More importantly, their Father Sam didn't react at all, which shocked them and made them even more terrified.

It also made those in power in those days feel uneasy.

Not to mention anything else, just look at our current mental state. We can’t even live a good life. How can we develop the economy and make the river nation rise?
How do they make money?

You know, after that terrible epidemic, the development of the entire Dahe nation was forced to regress by more than ten years.

Most of the economic development after the war has been wasted.

What is more important is the loss of life. How many outstanding talents and young and strong people lost their lives.

Without these people, it will be difficult to increase the birth rate.

In this situation, with another hat of panic on their heads, can they live well?
During this period, those in power spent a lot of effort and tried every possible means, but eventually, with the power of time, the people's fear was gradually worn away.

This Olympics is a great opportunity.

As long as they demonstrate the excellence of their great nation on the world stage, they can awaken the patriotism of the people and enhance national cohesion.

Provide additional impetus for the development of the Dahe ethnic group.

Then, good news came again.

Although the United States women's volleyball team was defeated, it was a rare good thing for them.

First of all, there is no need to worry about defeating the United States women's volleyball team and being hated by the father.

Secondly, as long as we defeat the Chinese women's volleyball team, we can inject a shot in the arm for our lives.

Finally, I can help Sam's father vent his anger and maybe even get some benefits from it.

Therefore, this game gave those in power an opportunity.

A great opportunity.

If they can win, they will have a propaganda direction.

They are still the united and superior river nation.

Even if their Papa Sam loses, they can still win.

We can still defend the dignity of the nation.

Even if it's just a small volleyball, we won't lose to the opponent.

At the same time, they can also take this opportunity to take off the panic hats on their heads and ease the tightening ropes a little.

So, in just one night, the voices of "let's play volleyball" appeared all over the island of Japan.

The whole island was in a state of excitement, with the dignity of the entire nation resting on a tiny volleyball.

Moreover, she was the woman they used to look down upon.

Naturally, there are people in China who are concerned about the situation on the Wa Island.

Even as soon as the other party shouted the slogan, Sijiu City received the news.

Although it looks a little ridiculous and even childish.

But under certain specific propaganda, even the most childish things can be given important meanings.

In this way, after some training, the news from Sijiu City quickly spread to Mo City where the Olympic Games were being hosted.

Afterwards, the entire Olympic team knew the significance of this semi-final.

The team leader even personally found the female volleyball players, gathered everyone together, and gave personal explanations.

In response, the girls on the women's volleyball team clenched their fists.

For them, there is pressure, but more of it is a shared hatred for the enemy.

They don't understand anything else, but they know one thing.

When it comes to their daily lives, they can only win, not lose.
