Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2553 Yang Xiaotao is more important
On the other side, Yang Xiaotao sat in the office for a while, processed some remaining documents, and then went out to the research institute.

Because of the Spring Festival holiday, there was no one else in the entire institute except the security guard at the gate.

Yang Xiaotao walked inside quietly for a while.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of a machine tool starting up, and walked over out of curiosity.

When he came to the workshop, Yang Xiaotao actually saw a familiar figure.

"Alphart!"

Yang Xiaotao took two quick steps and came forward.

Alfate saw Yang Xiaotao coming over and quickly put down the things in his hands, smiling happily, "Brother Yang, why are you here today?"

Yang Xiaotao took a look and saw that Alfat was now wearing the uniform of a Ninth Division worker with many greasy spots on it. He looked like a completely different person from before.

"I'll come to the Nine Departments to take a look!"

"Besides, why can't I come today?"

Hearing this, Alfate smiled.

Yang Xiaotao walked up and patted Alfat on the shoulder, feeling a little apologetic.

Ever since sending this kid away, Yang Xiaotao hasn't cared about him anymore.

Of course, most of the time I didn't have time to care about it. When I wanted to take a look, the kid was back in school.

So Yang Xiaotao only learned about Alafat's situation from other people.

But now that he saw him in person, Yang Xiaotao felt that this was different from what he had thought.

"Darker and stronger!"

Yang Xiaotao pinched Alfat's arm and said with emotion.

"I can eat two big steamed buns in one meal now, and I can also eat a lot of dumplings..."

Alfate said this very sincerely.

During the time in these nine parts, no, it should be said that during the time in Sijiu City, he has become accustomed to the life here.

Although the environment is completely different from before, the people here make him feel at ease.

And over time, he felt that his spirit had been elevated.

Work hard with the workers, work together, and eat together from the jar.

Sometimes I would rack my brains to come up with a solution for a certain design.

As time went by, he felt that his previous lazy habits gradually disappeared, and his whole person was sublimated.

Nowadays, I get up at dawn to attend classes, and then come to work in the ninth department.

I sleep more soundly at night than before.

Looking at the natural smile on Alfat's face, Yang Xiaotao understood that he had really integrated into the place.

"What are you doing?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the pile of parts below, full of confusion.

Alfate scratched his head in embarrassment after hearing this, "Well, I came to process a piston head, but I can't do it well!"

"The piston head? The engine's!"

"Yes, that's it!"

“Is this thing still not possible?”

Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, Alfat looked a little ashamed.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at the parts on the ground and saw what the problem was. He picked one up and walked to the machine tool. "Come, I'll teach you!"

Alfate immediately ran over excitedly. He had heard from Master Liu that the most powerful eighth-level master chef in the entire Nine Departments was this Brother Yang.

You will definitely learn it if you learn from him.

"Watch carefully, don't shake your hands when processing. At the beginning, keep your eyes on the wheel, don't look at the part in your hand, and try to find that feeling..."

Yang Xiaotao was giving instructions from the side, and Alfat was listening attentively.

Soon, after scrapping two parts, Alfat quickly figured out the trick and then processed a qualified piston head.

"That's great! I've been trying for three days but still can't make it. Master Liu is so upset."

Alfate said excitedly, holding the piston head in his hand, "This is very commemorative. I want to take it back and put it at home."

"As long as you like it!"

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "What's important is that you have mastered the processing technology. Once you have learned this, you can try to practice with level 5 parts."

"Really? Level 5 components, I'm also a level 5 worker!"

Alfate jumped twice with excitement, and Yang Xiaotao nodded seriously, "You have great talent. If you continue on this path, you will be no worse than me!"

Alphat felt embarrassed now, and then he walked aside and put the piston head into his backpack.

Yang Xiaotao could only shake his head in his heart when looking at the other person's appearance. This level corresponds to a worker. Are you a worker?
"Do you know what day it is today?"

"I know that my classmates at school said that today is the Spring Festival, which is the most important festival of the year for you."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Then why are you still standing there? Come home with me to celebrate the New Year."

Alfate said happily, and then asked undecidedly, "Well, my classmates said this is a time for family reunion, can I go?"

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao hugged Alfate in his arms and pressed his head hard, "You little bastard, we are a family, stop saying those polite words!"

"Yes, I understand!"

"You know what's going on? Follow me now!"

Alfat felt Yang Xiaotao's strength and just laughed, and his eyes became a little blurry.

"I say, do you want to go back to see your father?"

Yang Xiaotao let go of Alfat, but hooked his arm around his neck to see what was in his mind.

Alfate unexpectedly shook his head, "I want to, but I won't go back!"

Yang Xiaotao was surprised, but Alfate said seriously, "My being here is the best help to my father."

"Also, we write a letter and make a phone call once a week."

"I know everything about my father. He is also familiar with my situation. He wants me to study hard."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, feeling sorry for the loving hearts of all parents in the world.

He did not comment on Mosidov's choice, but as a father, he gave Arfat a carefree childhood and the opportunity to grow independently. Mosidov is qualified in raising children!

Thinking of my big kid, maybe I can barely live without worries, but as for independence...

Think about the grandfather, the old Taoist priest, Mr. Ye...

Forget it, I don't want to.

"Come on, follow me home."

"I'll tell the school that I can take you out for a holiday during the first month of the lunar year."

"Okay, should I prepare a gift?"

"No, you are a junior, just prepare to receive the red envelope."

"it is good!"

The two of them left the institute chatting and laughing, then got into the car and Yang Xiaotao took them home.

After the two left, Yu Zecheng appeared outside the factory.

"Old Yu, it looks like you guys are going home for the New Year!"

Chen Mingli from the Security Department stood aside and joked with a smile, and Yu Zecheng smiled happily when he heard it.

His main task during this period was to protect Alfat's safety.

This was a specific instruction and request from his superior, and it was a matter of great importance, so he could only keep an eye on it closely.

"Yeah, if your Yangbu could be taken back like this earlier, I could get off work earlier!"

Yu Zecheng said, Chen Mingli shrugged, "Our Yangbu is very busy, and you guys in the same courtyard don't even know about it!"

"If you ask me, you should just suggest that this kid move into your courtyard so that he can be protected nearby."

Yu Zecheng scratched his head and said, "I've said that before."

"It's been denied by the higher-ups!"

"What?"

Yu Zecheng looked at the car that was about to disappear, and then he said slowly, "This will threaten his safety!"

Hearing this, Chen Mingli nodded silently.

In the hearts of those above, Minister Yang is more important!

"Let's go home for the New Year." Yu Zecheng turned around and walked out. Just as he walked out the door, he turned back and said, "By the way, Lao Chen, I will be on duty on New Year's Eve, and you and Shen Tao will be on duty on the first and second days of the New Year. That's what we agreed on."

Chen Mingli was speechless upon hearing this, "You are on duty at home, damn luck!"

Yu Zecheng chuckled, but he knew everything in his mind.

What a shit luck! This is the choice I made based on my understanding of Yang Xiaotao.

Given Yang Xiaotao's personality, it would be strange if he didn't take the initiative to invite Alfat.

"Let's go home and celebrate the New Year!"

Siheyuan.

Yang Xiaotao drove back and the two of them came to the yard together.

Ran's mother brought Ran Xinrui and Ran Hongbing over, and at this moment she was holding Dudu and chatting with Aunt Zhou.

This year, Aunt Zhou came to Zhou Kui's house to celebrate the New Year, adding more liveliness to the courtyard.

Yang Xiaotao brought Alafat to meet everyone. Alafat had also been learning Chinese during this period. He could still communicate simply, but his accent was a bit strange.

Fortunately, everyone was very tolerant, and Ran Qiuye had met Alfate before and both knew English, so there was no problem in communicating.

Afterwards, Alfat integrated into the atmosphere of the courtyard. Sometimes he followed the old men to watch people playing chess, sometimes he followed Duanwu and others to set off firecrackers, and he also shook the rope for the girls. It was very lively in the courtyard.

Yang Xiaotao helped prepare dinner.

Since his cooking skills were upgraded to level eight, Yang Xiaotao has not used his full strength.

Taking advantage of this Chinese New Year, Yang Xiaotao plans to show off his skills.

In the kitchen, Ran Qiuye and Liu Yuhua were helping out, working on two stoves and one furnace without stopping for a moment.

Frying and cooking in oil, the Yang family's kitchen has become the focus of the entire courtyard since nightfall.

Alfat even leaned against the window holding Duanwu, watching Yang Xiaotao shaking his wrist, throwing the fried vegetables in the pot into the air and then falling back into the pot without a drop spilled, he was completely stunned.

"Uncle Fate, is my dad very powerful?"

Danwu said with an adoring look, and Alfate nodded vigorously with the same look.

"In the future, I must become a chef so that I can cook whatever I want to eat!"

Duanwu said seriously, and Alfat agreed, "Yes, governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. I also want to learn how to cook!"

"What are you two doing? Come down."

Suddenly, a scolding voice came from behind them. They turned around and saw Ran Xinrui standing beside them. She was wearing a small cotton jacket and a high ponytail. Her slightly chubby face exuded a heroic look.

Suddenly, Alphat felt something he had never felt before.

When Duanwu in her arms saw this, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, and called out softly, "Little, little aunt."

"Well, what are you doing here?"

"Let's look at cooking."

Without waiting for Duanwu to speak, Alfat immediately answered.

Ran Xinrui knew about Alfate's situation, so she just nodded and looked at Duanwu, "I heard from Miaomiao that you got 90 in math in the final exam?"

I was shocked during the Dragon Boat Festival. Apart from my mother, the person I am most afraid of is my aunt.

Especially in studying.

It is said that this is how my mother educated my aunt, and now it is his turn.

He felt that this was retribution, but unfortunately, it came upon him.

However, Duanwu is not without countermeasures. He has already decided in his mind that when his aunt has a child, he will also educate the child well.

In the room, Yang Xiaotao heard the noise outside the window and looked up, then saw Duanwu being scolded by Ran Xinrui. He didn't take it to heart and continued cooking.

During the night shift, the entire city was filled with rumbling sounds.

At the Yang family, Yang Xiaotao asked everyone to sit down, and then started eating dumplings.

Alfat sat next to Yang Xiaotao, enjoying the food while looking across without leaving a trace.

After a night, the first day was very cold, but it couldn't stop everyone from celebrating the festival.

Yang Xiaotao led a group of young people out to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning.

I returned home to have a meal at noon, and continued to visit relatives and friends in the afternoon.

Second day of the first year, Kashima.

Father Ran followed behind the head of the investigation team, Mr. Zhang, and the group slowly walked into the venue.

This is the third time they have held a tripartite investigation meeting.

Father Ran walked to his seat and sat down with an indifferent expression.

In the middle, the representative sent by the alliance sat upright with an inviolable look on his face.

The representative on the far right is from the United States, but he doesn't look nervous at all at the moment. Instead, he is trimming his nails as if nothing has happened.

To put it bluntly, the three-party investigation is just a facade of agreement but a lack of sincerity.

Especially between the Alliance and the United States, there has been more competition than cooperation over the years.

The reason I can sit here is because this incident was too serious and many people implicated were directly demoted to the bottom.

And right in front of the three parties, an old man with a gloomy face was hunched over, waiting for the meeting to begin.

After a while, the three parties nodded to each other, and then the host of the alliance said,
"Now, let's start the third formal meeting."

Father Ran sat aside and listened quietly, while also paying attention to the development of the situation.

He has already given a report on the debris of the rocket launched by the other side.

The reason why the rocket exploded was purely due to a failure in the circuit control, which led to problems with internal combustion and caused it to explode.

Telling the other party to "stop in time" or "reform" has nothing to do with it.

It can even be seen from this report that the other party launched the attack in a hurry. Its purpose is self-evident: it just wanted to take a gamble.

Unfortunately, he lost the bet in the end, so he pretended to be pitiful.

As the test results came out, the sinister old man below had no way to refute and just bowed his body like a sinner being judged.

Unfortunately, this is just false sympathy, and it looks pretty good.

As the meeting progressed, Father Ran felt a little restless.

For no other reason than it was too perfunctory.

Not only are the days of mistakes being perfunctory, but the United States is also perfunctory, and even the Alliance is also perfunctory.

Obviously, none of them wanted to deal with this mess.

Seeing this, Ran's father felt depressed.

Sure enough, these guys didn’t take this matter seriously at all.

Because they don't care whether the other party has offensive weapons, they care about the target of the attack.

Just when Father Ran thought the matter was over, suddenly Mr. Zhang stood up with a serious look on his face.

“This is the final resolution of our meeting.”

"The other party must apologize and make relevant guarantees on top of the original compensation."

"If the other party insists on distorting the facts, we will withdraw from the investigation and make the facts public."

Mr. Zhang submitted the documents and then sat quietly aside, waiting for the final result.

Upon seeing this, the alliance representative frowned and read it once, then looked at Mr. Zhang in surprise, and then handed it to the representative of the United States.

At this time, the representative of the United States did not dare to take it lightly. After all, this was a matter of principle. If any trouble really arose, the United States might not be in trouble, but he, as a representative, would definitely not end up well.

So he quickly glanced at the resolution and then showed the same expression as the alliance.

The two of them glanced at each other quickly, then nodded at the same time and looked at Mr. Zhang again.

The three of them just had a simple exchange and finally reached a tacit agreement.

As for the person bending over below, the three parties simply chose to ignore him.

Half an hour later, the meeting ended.

The old man bowed and signed the final decision, then fell to the ground with a thud.

Afterwards, Father Ran followed Mr. Zhang out of the door with a calm expression.

Although the final result is not the best, it is not the worst either.

It is within the acceptable range.

This can be considered as completing the instructions from my superiors.

Standing in front of the exploded launch pad, Mr. Zhang smiled and said to the people behind him, "Let's go, let's go back and celebrate our old age."
