Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2508 There are a lot of people coming
Siheyuan.

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao got out of the car with the model left by Mr. Huang in his hand.

Of course, this thing cannot be given to Duanwu and the others to play with.

Otherwise, it will always be a trouble if it is taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.

After all, the Nautilus is a lesson learned, and Yang Xiaotao will not make a mistake, even if the model is only similar in appearance but the inside is filled with random things.

Watching Yang Xiaotao put the submarine model into the study, Duanwu, who was staring with wide eyes, went from anticipation to disappointment.

He thought it was bought for him.

Lao Jin was also curious, but since Yang Xiaotao didn't explain, he didn't ask any more questions.

In the room, Ran Qiuye's aunt was busy cooking, while the young wife of Liu family and Wang Dashan's family were gossiping with a few people.

Yang Xiaotao came to the kitchen to help and listened to what was happening in the yard.

"I heard from Third Aunt that Second Uncle Liu Haizhong and his family are all working in the northwest."

"Liu Haizhong is just thinking about good things. He wants to come back? Why does he come back? Are there any factories in Sijiu City that want him?"

"Is there still room for him in the quadrangle?"

"This guy deserves it!"

"They also said that the two brothers Liu Guangtian in their family have not yet found wives, and it is said that it is all because of Liu Haizhong's incident."

"By the way, Auntie San also said that she met He Daqing..."

The young wife of the Liu family found out all the news in the courtyard, and Wang Dashan's family also brought up the grievances and grudges in the courtyard, which made Ms. Cui very satisfied.

I feel like this is more interesting than watching a drama.

Yang Xiaotao was cooking on the side, but he knew everything about the yard.

There is no way, whose news can avoid Xiaowei?

Even if Yang Xiaotao didn't ask deliberately, Xiaowei's chatterbox nature made it difficult for Yang Xiaotao not to listen.

"Aunt, have you guys settled down and are you going back?"

Yang Xiaotao kneaded the dough and asked Jin Pingping beside him.

"I've booked it. I'll be leaving next Monday. I've also made arrangements with Shanghai!"

"Well, then I'll give you a certificate and send you to the train station!"

Yang Xiaotao agreed. Comrade Lao Jin should have returned to Shanghai a long time ago, but unexpectedly a heavy snowfall caused a train accident.

It took three or four days just to process it. I have been asking these days whether the road is open to traffic or not. Now it seems there should be no problem!

It’s strange to say, but this year, before the twelfth lunar month, there have been three snowfalls in the north, and each one is bigger than the last.

I heard from people who came back from Pengcheng that there was a lot of snow there and it was much colder than in previous years.

This is a big challenge for transportation.

"Aunt, I bought some things for the child. Please help me bring them back when the time comes."

Ran Qiuye was wrapping dumplings at the side and spoke.

"No need, we have them at home!"

"It's yours if it's available. It's just a token of our appreciation. Besides, it's for the children. It's not a very expensive thing!"

The two were about to refuse, but Yang Xiaotao interrupted them directly, "Auntie, Xiaoqing hasn't come back yet?"

Hearing this, Jin Pingping shook her head, a little helpless on her face, "Who knows where this girl has gone? Last time I heard she went to Northeast China with the group to perform, and I don't know when she will be back."

"Forget it, my daughter is grown up now, I can't control her anymore!"

Jin Pingping said this with some melancholy, Yang Xiaotao said to comfort her, "Xiaoqing is a smart guy, don't worry, I'll take care of him when you get home."

"What are you looking at? Just do your own thing. I've noticed during my stay here that you're busier than your uncle. It's ok when you're young, but you can't keep doing this when you're older!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and nodded, knowing his own body well.

However, Yang Xiaotao still felt warm in his heart because of this kind of care.

The family ate dumplings in the evening. Yang Xiaotao sent Mr. Ye back home, and Comrade Lao Jin and the Taoist priest went to the backyard.

During this period, the relationship between these three brothers warmed up quickly, and they either lived at Lao Dao's house or at Lao Ye's house.

He simply doesn't treat himself as an outsider.

Before going to bed, Yang Xiaotao watched Duanwu run into the study room with a curious look on his face, and said unhappily, "That's not a toy, you kid, pay attention and watch out for no one touching it!"

"Tomorrow, I'll bring you something fun!"

After Yang Xiaotao reminded him and said there were fun things to do, Duanwu nodded immediately and promised to help keep an eye on his sisters.

The result was two pairs of small canine teeth for the twins.

The next day.

Yang Xiaotao met Wang Huzi who came from the northwest in Jiubu.

"Brother Wang, you're here too soon. Aren't you supposed to arrive tomorrow?"

In the office, Liu Lixue brought hot tea and Yang Xiaotao smiled beside her.

Wang Huzi picked up the tea and drank most of it in one gulp. Then he wiped his beard and smiled, "Don't say anything. I heard about the tank you made, and I'm itching to try it."

"Well, there was a plane coming back, so I took a ride and came here early."

"Tell me quickly, what do you think of this tank?"

Wang Huzi's heart was extremely hot.

A while ago, we conducted an exercise in the northwest. We thought it would be enough to show off our muscles, but we didn't expect the other side to actually show out a tank battalion.

If this was an old tank, it wouldn't be a big deal to him, after all, the Type 59 tank on our side is not there to sit around and wait for something.

But when the enemy's tank was placed there, it was obvious to the naked eye that it was larger than the Type 59 tank.

Later, the combat staff immediately revealed the enemy's tank information, and Wang Huzi had not shaved his beard since that day of the battle.

"We named this tank the Type 91 tank. It has three people in it and weighs 45 tons."

Yang Xiaotao repeated the data reported by Liu Xiangdong, while Wang Huzi was making comparisons in his mind.

"The details are still under testing, but Mr. Zhang and his team have come to the conclusion that this tank should be a level above the T-62 tanks currently in the Alliance's possession."

When Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Wang Huzi slapped the table and asked, "Are you serious?"

Yang Xiaotao was startled, then nodded seriously, "This is the conclusion given by Mr. Zhang and his team. I don't know whether it is true or not."

Wang Huzi stood up and said, "Where's the car? I'll go check it out."

Yang Xiaotao stood up and said, "The car is at the training ground in the back."

After saying that, the two of them walked out.

On the way, Yang Xiaotao also understood why Wang Huzi was so anxious.

To put it bluntly, it was stimulated by the country of Khasra.

Originally our side had the upper hand, but suddenly a group of powerful tanks appeared on the other side. It must have been difficult for them to accept this.

This is just like other countries learning about the Baiju fighter.

It would be strange if I could feel comfortable.

“This is it?”

Wang Huzi ran to the tank in two or three steps, reached out to pull the cover on it, and his eyes immediately widened.

He then ignored everyone, climbed onto the tank in three or two steps, opened the door and went inside.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to ask someone to go in and help.

After all, this is a matter between three people.

After a while, the tank started.

Yang Xiaotao led his men away from the training ground.

Half an hour later.

Wang Huzi crawled out from inside, and the expression on his face was exactly the same as that of Mr. Zhang yesterday.

"When will this tank be produced?"

When I met Yang Xiaotao, I asked the same questions.

"At the earliest, it will be after the New Year."

"The main reason is that the military takes a long time to inspect and accept the product. The higher-ups won't say anything, so we can only use it ourselves if we make it."

"But don't worry, Brother Wang. If it can be put into production, I will definitely send it to you first."

When Yang Xiaotao said this, there was not much worry on his face. On the contrary, Wang Huzi seemed a little proud when he heard this.

Could it be
Looking up at the security officers around him and the tank driver who had just jumped off the car, he suddenly realized that this guy was not in a hurry at all.

Thinking of this, Wang Huzi walked up to Yang Xiaotao, put his arm around him and walked back.

When Yang Xiaotao looked at Wang Huzi who was hugging his shoulders, he thought of Mr. Zhang yesterday.

Why do all these people in military uniforms like to do this?

The two walked and chatted for a while, and Wang Huzi whispered, "Xiao Tao, how many vehicles are you going to equip the Security Department with?"

Yang Xiaotao's eyes widened, and then he gave a thumbs up, "Brother Wang, you can see all this." Wang Huzi smiled confidently, "I dare not say for others, but for you, I am confident that I understand."

"You are not in a hurry now, so you must be thinking of leaving some benefits for the Security Department, but it is difficult to say it openly, so you just use this method to deal with it, right?"

Yang Xiaotao looked back and then lowered his voice and said, "Great! Old Brother Wang is still as skilled as ever."

"Screw you."

Wang Huzi reached out and patted Yang Xiaotao on the shoulder. Yang Xiaotao didn't care. Instead, he whispered, "You have to keep this a secret for me. Don't tell anyone."

"Mr. Zhang came yesterday, and I was talking about this one."

"And yet he asked me to give him thirty."

"If he knew about this, he would kill us in a minute."

Wang Huzi stroked his beard and laughed, "You know what, this big face can really do such a thing."

"But don't worry, I am a very honest person."

"So how many do you have now?"

"Tell me the truth, I know your Ninth Department is not a small factory."

Yang Xiaotao saw Wang Huzi's eyebrows raised, and then he did not hide it, "In addition to this one, there are two more that have been made and are in the machinery factory. In addition, there are five more on the production line."

“It will probably be offline in another week.”

As Yang Xiaotao was talking, Wang Huzi counted on his fingers, "So fast? You guys are not slow."

"It's not bad. If we run at full speed, we can produce at least 30 to 40 vehicles a month. Of course, these are just products that need to be inspected and accepted."

Yang Xiaotao said this casually, of course this was not the mode where all nine units were firing on all cylinders.

If we really work at full capacity and stop doing other work, it would not be a problem to produce a hundred or so vehicles a month.

Of course, that's impossible.

This month's production is still under ideal conditions.

Wang Huzi rolled his eyes and asked, "I think it's okay for your security department to equip a few of them."

"But your factory in the northwest also has a security department, right?"

Yang Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Brother Wang, you have changed."

Wang Huzi laughed and said, "This is called progress!"

"Okay, let's see when the time comes. I'll send a few to Northwest."

"A few are too few. Give me a company."

"How many?"

"We need at least ten of them. Any less will lack the deterrent effect."

"Shock? Who?"

The two men came to the office with their arms around each other's shoulders, and Yang Xiaotao also understood Wang Huzi's intention.

This is to get back the venue.

The two sat down, and Yang Xiaotao patted his chest and said, "Of course we can't tolerate this."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely deliver twenty to you before the New Year."

When Wang Huzi heard that there were ten more cars, he immediately asked Xiao Wu to take out the wine he had brought, and said that they must have a drink at noon.

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand and said, "No, let's go home for lunch."

"It's a good opportunity to see my little one."

"Yes, yes, yes, I also brought a gift for the little guy."

As he said that, he took out a small boat made of a bullet shell from his pocket. Yang Xiaotao immediately thought of something, "Oh, now that you mentioned that, I forgot something."

"Brother Wang, please sit down for a while. I'll be back soon."

"It's okay, I'm with you."

When the two men walked out of the workshop, Wang Huzi looked at the box in Yang Xiaotao's hand and said with a wry smile, "This is what you are talking about."

Yang Xiaotao weighed the box in his hand and said, "Yes, those kids in my family, if I don't give them something to do, they will overturn the house."

With that, the two of them got in the car and returned to the courtyard together.

After entering the yard, Yang Xiaotao introduced Wang Huzi to his grandparents. When Comrade Lao Jin saw Wang Huzi, his face became radiant.

Especially when the other person calls you "old man" according to your seniority, it makes me feel particularly satisfied.

Then Ran Qiuye came over with Dudu to meet Wang Huzi. Xiao Wu took out a bunch of toys from his bag and distributed them to the children.

Then it’s time to prepare lunch.

Just as Yang Xiaotao was greeting Wang Huzi, footsteps were heard outside the yard again.

At first Yang Xiaotao didn’t think anything of it, but when the person came in, Yang Xiaotao and Wang Huzi were dumbfounded.

"Old, Old Han, why are you here?"

"Brother Han, you are a rare guest."

Wang Huzi and Yang Xiaotao spoke almost at the same time, but Han Xuanfeng looked at them, raised his hand to adjust his hat and said with a smile, "Why can't I come?"

"Just in time for dinner. I brought some wine with me."

As he said that, Yang Xiaotao quickly welcomed Han Xuanfeng into the house and served him tea and water.

Ran Qiuye and Han Xuanfeng had met several times and were quite familiar with each other. It was just that Comrade Lao Jin came out for a walk and then returned to the backyard excitedly.

"Old Han, you are really fast."

Wang Huzi joked, and Han Xuanfeng put down the cup, "Don't mention it, the train is not running, I came back by plane."

"The train isn't running yet?"

Yang Xiaotao asked, and Han Xuanfeng shook his head, "I heard that two trains collided. Alas!"

After saying that, he looked at Wang Huzi again and said, "Aren't you arriving tomorrow?"

Wang Huzi raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you tell me it was tomorrow too?"

After the words fell, both of them lowered their heads in silence, then raised their heads and smiled, as if they hadn't spoken just now.

Yang Xiaotao quickly asked Ran Qiuye to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and personally poured wine for Han Xuanfeng, "Brother Han, have a drink to warm yourself up."

"Drink the wine slowly first."

Before Han Xuanfeng picked up the wine glass, he heard a familiar voice coming from outside the yard.

"I knew this guy would come."

Wang Huzi shook his head and spoke.

Han Xuanfeng joked, "We came back together. This is their base. It would be strange if we didn't know about it."

"I guess he can't sit still anymore."

As he was speaking, Mr. Zhang strode in with a smile on his face and two bottles of wine in his hands.

"I said no hurry, no hurry, here it is, authentic Erguotou."

Mr. Zhang naturally heard Han Xuanfeng's teasing, but he didn't care. He smiled at Yang Xiaotao, then handed it to Ran Qiuye beside him, and finally found a stool and sat between Wang Huzi and Han Xuanfeng.

Three people sat together, all of them smiling. Yang Xiaotao looked at one, then looked at the other, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Should we wait a little longer?"

The three of them didn't say anything, and Yang Xiaotao didn't know how to start, so he looked out the window and asked tentatively.

When Mr. Zhang heard Yang Xiaotao's question, he turned around and looked at the yard, then asked, "What's wrong? Did you find someone else?"

"No, I'm just afraid that someone will come again."

As he looked at the two of them, Zhang Lao smiled and said, "I just came here for a look. I happened to run into two old comrades, so I have to come in and meet them."

Han Xuanfeng squinted his eyes and said, "You are afraid that we will take more than we deserve and you will suffer the consequences."

"Old Han, you are being mean-spirited. Am I that kind of person?"

Han Xuanfeng nodded vigorously, "If you don't, the sun will rise from the west."

"The sun rises in the west? When did this happen?"

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the yard, and the room fell silent in an instant.

“Someone really came.”

The three looked at Yang Xiaotao in surprise, "You knew?"

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and said, "I wish I knew."

After saying this, someone went out to greet them.

Inside the room, three people hurriedly followed.

Because that voice sounds familiar.

Sure enough, when I went out, I saw Yang Xiaotao and Mr. Peng standing together. The three of them looked at each other and there was confusion in their eyes.

Why is this person here?
Then the three of them thought of something at the same time, and couldn't help but exclaimed in their hearts, "It's over, the robbers are coming."
