The old man smiled and handed the cigarette to him. The old man in military uniform took it immediately, and then went to the leading old man to borrow a cigarette. Then he laughed and said, "You better understand that our great butler always reports good things but not bad things."
"
"This time it's good news again."
"How about we take a guess?"
"Okay, you can guess, if you guess right, I'll treat you to lunch."
"Okay, haha, I'm so lucky to be able to eat Ms. Deng's cooking just after I came back."
Everyone was laughing, and the thin old man didn't care. They were all old brothers and comrades for many years, and it was time to get together.
"I'll say it first."
The leading old man waved boldly and did his duty.
Holding a cigarette and looking at the city for a while, he said seriously, "These other aspects are not considered happy events for you, only those related to the people's bellies are considered happy events!"
Everyone nodded, and the thin old man also smiled.
The old man laughed and said, "So, I guess, one of these must be a bumper harvest, right?"
The thin old man nodded, "Sure enough, you are the one who knows me!"
"Yes. I left you guessing!"
"Hahaha"
The leading old man laughed.
Everyone lamented that he came out on top, and at the same time lamented the irreversible friendship between the two.
The thin old man held out three fingers in front of everyone and said, "The yield of corn crops this year is three times greater than the same period last year."
"What? Is the calculation correct?" the old man in military uniform asked in disbelief. This time he returned to Sichuan and Sichuan for an inspection, which could be regarded as understanding the grain output.
Hearing the news suddenly, he was very surprised, but he also understood that the thin old man would not joke about this, "Three times is a lot."
"If we were in Sichuan and Shu, we wouldn't be able to leave!"
"Haha, yes, it's three times."
There were exclamations from all around, but they were undoubtedly full of joy, "I have food in my hands, so I don't feel panic in my heart!"
"Yeah yeah!"
"You can do a lot of things with food."
As everyone was talking, the thin old man began to explain, "Three times the grain yield is a big deal!"
"First! Because the seeds we use are good, the yield and adaptability of Yangcun No. 1 high-yielding corn are much higher than those of ordinary Yulai. The local comrades have already calculated this."
"The second is the help of relevant agricultural machinery."
"During this period, domestic agricultural machinery increased rapidly, especially the use of tractors. Half of the credit for the grain harvest in the northwest must be attributed to this tractor."
Afterwards, the thin old man briefly talked about the development of agriculture.
Everyone nodded when they heard this. When they went abroad to inspect, what they saw the most was mechanized mass production.
Unexpectedly, domestic machinery development is not slow either.
"Well, I've heard of tractors from some kind of machinery factory. When conditions were unavailable, they used coal to burn steam. Later, when the technical capabilities were achieved, they switched to diesel engines. The comrades in this machinery factory are very discerning!"
The gray-haired old man said jokingly, and the leading old man looked outside the building, "I heard that they have organized a tractor formation this time, but you have to see, this is purely domestically produced!"
The only woman on the side smiled and said, "You have to take a good look at it. It would be best if you can tell it later!"
Everyone listened and nodded again.
In addition to bulk grains, the only items that can be exported domestically are two types of pressure cookers. The market in the south is still unstable.
Speaking of which, people there are not very enthusiastic about the use of pressure cookers. They don't use them at all for making rice. Moreover, pressure cookers are dangerous and their sales are not as good as those in the northwest franchise countries.
Therefore, people in the Ministry of Commerce have always wanted to expand trade routes and look for better export items.
"Do you like this car?"
Someone next to me asked, and the lady nodded.
"The tractors after the replacement are working well. If possible, I would like to arrange a batch to try them this time."
The lady's gentle voice came, and everyone nodded.
"So, if you need food, you also need money!"
The leading old man summed it up humorously, and everyone laughed again.
“Then the second one, I guess it’s related to agriculture!”
"Oh why?"
The old man in military uniform who spoke earlier brought the topic back again, and the leader was also surprised.
Then the old man in military uniform said with a smile, "Good things come in pairs. It's different. It can't be called a pair."
Hahaha
The thin old man smiled and said, "They say that you learned a lot of military art from Taihang. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that you have learned a lot!"
The old man in military uniform quickly humbly said, "Old Liu's tricks are something most people can't learn. I've just seen it so much that I can't take it seriously."
Everyone knew that he was modest, so they didn't tell him. The thin old man smiled and said, "You really guessed it right!"
As he spoke, the old man took out a piece of paper from his pocket flap and handed it over.
The old man in military uniform shook off the ashes of his cigarette, took it and took a look at it. He was immediately surprised. Seeing this, the people around him also stepped forward. After a while, they all looked at the thin old man, "Is this true?"
"Wang Beard personally investigated it, so it's not wrong."
With that said, the leading old man took the note, looked at it for a while, and then smiled, "This must be that Comrade Yang Xiaotao again, right?"
The thin old man nodded, "Yes, he did it."
Before the people around him could ask what was going on, they saw Secretary Tang walking over and handing a document to the thin old man.
"Chief, this is an important document sent by Chief Wang. It needs to be handed over to you as soon as possible."
The old man just glanced at it and then quietly put it in his windbreaker pocket. Everyone familiar with him knew that this was not a good thing.
But when it came to issues of principle, no one said much.
Seeing this, Secretary Tang thought of Yang Xiaotao's incident, and then whispered the matter.
The thin old man was obviously stunned, and then he heard laughter coming from beside him, "Haha, this means Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived!"
"I think since most people from the village come to deliver things, we can't let them fail to complete their tasks!"
"Besides, this is all sincerity, we can't be left out in the cold."
The leading old man spoke, and the grizzled old man beside him also nodded, "You really can't be cold, just accept it!"
Others were confused when they heard it. Only a few people knew that the reason why they agreed to accept it must have something to do with the person who sent it.
The thin old man had met Yang Xiaotao and knew him well. He glanced at the two old comrades beside him. They had even given books to people, so he no longer hesitated.
"Secretary Tang, thank him for me and thank you fellow villagers."
"But, just this once."
Secretary Tang smiled and nodded, then walked down the city gate tower.
After Secretary Tang left, everyone looked ahead again, and saw rows of tractors rumbling forward.
Each car exudes the brilliance of this metal in the sun. Looking from above, they are neatly arranged vertically and horizontally, and the people standing on top are waving red flags vigorously.
As the introduction announcement came, the people below seemed to see the people on the city gate tower, and slogans rang out, covering up the rumble of the tractors.
Everyone couldn't help but applaud.
Listening to the introduction on the radio, many people nodded secretly.
"What's going on with Comrade Xiao Tao?"
The old man in military uniform was curious and asked the convenient lady.
Although this lady has been in Sijiucheng for a long time, she knows some things, but not much. At the moment, she just gave a general introduction to the machine factory and Yang Xiaotao.
Even so, the old man remembered the name Yang Xiaotao.
"By the way, if you want to know more, you can ask your boss, who is currently the dean of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. This person is still working as a temporary employee at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences!"
The old man nodded after hearing the kiss, "I'm going to pay him a visit in the next few days."
On the other side, Yang Xiaotao and four others were still waiting where they were.
"Brother Xiao Yang, what you did is amazing, so amazing."
"This is a gift for the chief. Oh my god, it's so big. This is the first time I've seen it!"
Liu Bin couldn't help but sigh and be surprised.
Wang Feng also expressed his admiration for Yang Xiaotao's behavior in his heart.
Not everyone can come, and not everyone has the courage to "pay bribes." Especially at this time, ordinary people and the chief know who you are.
In their minds, being rejected is normal. Even if they accept it, it is probably confiscated.
Gao Yufeng was also waiting anxiously. In his heart, he actually hoped that the kindness of the villagers would be retained, but it was really hard to say.
"There's nothing I can do about it. The villagers have already taken care of it. What's the point if I don't take it with me?"
"That's right. If it were left at our place, if we knew there was an opportunity, I would probably have someone from Shiba Township send it to us."
Liu Bin put himself in his shoes and felt a sense of admiration for Yang Xiaotao.
At this moment, Secretary Tang came over with the two of them.
Yang Xiaotao immediately came forward when he saw him, "Secretary Tang, long time no see! How are you, Chief?"
Liu Bin and Liu Bin didn't know the person coming, but when Yang Xiaotao asked, he must be someone close to a certain leader.
"Director Xiao Yang, long time no see!" Secretary Tang greeted with a smile, and then said, "The chief already knows your purpose, and asked me to thank the folks for him." Yang Xiaotao immediately laughed, knowing that the matter was settled.
.
"However, the chief said, it's just this one time and it won't happen next time."
"Okay, I understand, just once, just once. Now the folks will be very happy to know."
"By the way, the folks asked me to bring this together, and you can hand it over to the chief together."
With that said, Yang Xiaotao handed the small notebook to Secretary Tang.
Secretary Tang took it, opened it, took a look, and then nodded seriously.
"The chief received two pieces of good news today. He is very happy. I am here. Thank you."
Yang Xiaotao touched the back of his head and didn't understand what it meant, but at this time, when it's time to be humble, you have to be humble.
"It's nothing, everything should be done."
"Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
With that said, he asked the two people behind him to leave with the cornmeal bags.
After Secretary Tang left, Yang Xiaotao put it down and said, "Now the mission is completed."
"Let's go, Lao Gao!"
He asked Gao Yufeng to go to the arranged place, and Liu Bin beside him immediately stepped forward to inquire about Secretary Tang's identity.
Seeing that there was no one around him, Yang Xiaotao whispered a few words, and then the two of them stood there blankly.
It wasn't until Yang Xiaotao and Gao Yufeng walked some distance away that they were still there and said hello that they woke up.
"Old Wang, tell me, should we also prepare a gift?"
After Liu Bin heard who Yang Xiaotao was giving the gift to, his heart was filled with excitement, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Wang Feng regained his composure, slowly shook his head, and looked at Yang Xiaotao, his eyes full of mystery.
"Haven't you heard? It's just this once, it won't happen next time."
Liu Bin opened his mouth and finally sighed, "Oh, why didn't we think of it earlier?"
Wang Feng shook his head, "It's no use thinking about it. Can you send it up?"
The two were silent, and then quickly followed.
On the other side, Secretary Tang climbed onto the city gate tower again and handed Yang Xiaotao's small book to the old man.
The old man took it and looked at it, then his eyes flashed.
This time, the old man did not put the notebook away, but handed it to the old man next to him.
Soon, the small book was being circulated among people around.
"Innocent heart!"
The leader, the old man, looked at the fiery red flag in the distance and sighed with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, a heart of ice is in a jade pot. This is the greatest affirmation for us and the best affirmation."
Finally, the small book returned to the hands of the thin old man. He rubbed the cover and looked at the crooked handwriting inside. All the unhappiness in the old man's heart disappeared.
Whether it's a monster, a ghost, or a monster.
Before the support of the people, they are all paper tigers.
Regardless of whether the wind blows from east to west, from north to south, I will remain unmoved.
"Xiao Tang, tell me when you get home, I will use this cornmeal to make steamed buns to entertain guests at noon."
