Ran Qiuye was sorting out materials in the study room. This time he came to Shanghai to conduct research on schools and obtained a lot of information and heard the voices of many teachers.
In the next few days, she will also visit schools in the suburbs.
She has to sort out these and become the material for her future work.
In the living room, Lao Jin held a water gun and was filling it with water. The Dragon Boat Festival beside him was filled with anticipation.
The two people who are separated by several generations are fooling around together, which makes them look a bit like children.
Ms. Cui, for the rare moment, did not sing any dissent. She and Zhang Qing were looking at the child together.
"Come, get ready to eat."
Yang Xiaotao shouted in the kitchen, and Zhang Qing reacted immediately, handed Rongrong to Ms. Cui, and trotted into the kitchen.
"Wow, it smells so good."
Looking at the several plates placed on the table, which contained prepared meals, Zhang Qing only saw food.
Ever since he tasted the food cooked by Yang Xiaotao last time, Zhang Qing has been extremely impressed by his cousin's cooking skills.
Even if you want to find a partner after you give birth, you should look for someone who can cook.
Pot-roasted pork, stir-fried shredded potatoes, and fried tofu…
There is also a carp in the pot, and the smell makes my stomach growl.
Looking at the eggplant box on the plate, I couldn't help but reach out.
"It's hot!"
Yang Xiaotao said without looking back, Zhang Qing stuck out his tongue, and then walked towards the living room with the plate in hand.
Soon, the food was served, and Ran Qiuye came out of the study. Looking at the smile on his face, he knew that he had gained a lot this time.
Lao Jin came over holding the wet Dragon Boat Festival with a happy face.
Ms. Cui placed the two children in front of the table, each with a small bowl with a wooden spoon in it. The two children stared at the plate in front of them and reached out to grab it.
A few people sat down. Yang Xiaotao picked up a bottle of wine from the house and sat next to Lao Jin.
"Aren't you going out in the afternoon?"
Lao Jin asked, Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "I'm not going!"
"It's hard to come here once. Let's sit at home more and spend time with you and your two elders."
Lao Jin curled his lips after hearing this. He was willing to take Yang Xiaotao out for a walk so that the old brothers could see him and grow his face.
There is no way, because the Shanghai Automobile Factory has caused a lot of embarrassment in recent years.
You finally caught it, why don't you show it off?
In contrast, Ms. Cui kept nodding in agreement.
Although they had only known each other for a few days, being with Yang Xiaotao's family made her feel more comfortable than she had ever felt in all her years in Shanghai!
She enjoys this atmosphere very much.
Yang Xiaotao filled Lao Jin's glass with wine, and everyone picked up their chopsticks and got ready to start.
"It's better to come sooner than later!"
Before the door was closed, Zhang Wu was seen walking in from the outside, followed by an old man with white hair.
"Dad! Mom!"
Zhang Wu walked in and called out. Yang Xiaotao and Lao Jin put down their chopsticks and looked at the person.
Lao Jin stood up immediately when he saw the old man behind him.
At this time, Yang Xiaotao also stood up, followed by Ran Qiuye.
"Mom and Dad, this is our old superior!"
As he spoke, the old man came forward and stretched out his left hand.
At this time, Lao Jin discovered that the man's right arm was empty.
"Hello, just call me Lao Chen!"
The old man spoke sonorously and forcefully, and his face was as dark as Zhang Wu's.
Lao Jin also quickly stretched out his left hand, and the two of them held it, "Hello, my name is Jin Dali, just call me Lao Jin!"
Since the other party is his son-in-law's old superior, judging from his current status, this person's status is not low.
Even if he retreats, he is still an extraordinary existence.
"Lao Chen, Xiao Wu, you came at the right time, hurry up and take your seats!"
Lao Jin greeted, and Ms. Cui asked Zhang Qing to move the stool, but the visitor looked at Yang Xiaotao.
At this moment, Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and shouted when Lao Jin, Zhang Wu and others were shocked.
"Grandpa Chen!"
Ran Qiuye followed and also called Grandpa Chen.
At this time, everyone else in the room was shocked.
Grandpa Chen?
What do you mean, this is also a relative of yours?
Lao Jin turned around, "What did you call him?"
Zhang Wu was also confused. He originally told his boss about the swordfish speedboat when he returned to the headquarters, but who knows how this boss knew about it. He didn't even have lunch, so he called him
Came over.
You must know that this is also their old superior. Although he has retired, the person sitting on the seat now is his former soldier.
He didn't dare to underestimate this kind of relationship.
But now, when he heard Yang Xiaotao's name, he realized that this old man knew Yang Xiaotao.
Looking at Yang Xiaotao carefully, I felt a little confused.
Who else does this guy know?
Without waiting for Yang Xiaotao and the others to explain, Lao Chen started talking on his own.
"Haha, I heard from Xiao Zhang that Yang Xiaotao from Sijiucheng was talking about the man from Hongxing Machinery Factory. I guessed that he was your kid. Sure enough, he was."
Lao Chen smiled, Yang Xiaotao quickly moved out of the way, and Ran Qiuye went to the kitchen to get two more sets of dishes and chopsticks.
"The food is good. Let me see, um, your cooking skills!"
Lao Chen sat next to Lao Jin, and these words made Lao Jin and others confirm that there was more than just an acquaintance between the two.
Lao Chen sat down and then looked at Lao Jin.
"This boy, my former old captain was his grandfather. I met him last time when I went to Sijiu City."
Only then did Lao Jin understand what was going on.
I also knew something about Yang Xiaotao's grandfather, but I was surprised that the relationship between the two was so good?
"How is your great-grandfather?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Okay, now I'm watching the children running and doing exercises in school, and sometimes I even take the lead, and my body is still resisting."
"Okay, back then, the captain led us to run like this, and kept running. We ran faster than the enemy's wheels."
"Yes. Now Zhuangzi is getting better and better. If you want to say something, just call the brigade headquarters."
As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao gave the phone number of the Yangjiazhuang brigade. Lao Chen was even more happy after hearing this. He found a piece of paper and wrote it down, "I'll call you when I get back!"
"I would be happy if I knew it."
"That is!"
The two were chatting and laughing, and everyone at the table understood their relationship.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Later, Lao Jin felt a little uncomfortable. He originally thought that he would introduce Yang Xiaotao to a few old brothers tonight and become Yang Xiaotao's assistant in the future.
This can be regarded as the political legacy of Jin Dali who has been messing around for so many years.
But now it seems that my inheritance is not as good as others.
Not to mention his status in the First Machinery Department, he is just like Mr. Yang. As long as he is alive, no one will dare to do anything behind his back.
If you want to deal with Yang Xiaotao in an honest and fair manner, you must have an honest and fair reason, and you must also consider the energy of the First Machinery Department.
The old guys there were capable of taking action and never nagging. They didn't dare to offend the other departments until they saw it.
Besides, this was just Yang Xiaotao's backstage. He looked at Ran Qiuye again. This girl's backstage was based on his father's ability to sharpen a sword incognito for ten years in the northwest, the bunch of comrades in arms, and the current energy of the Seventh Machinery Department.
If we really want to talk about it in detail, he, the old secretary in Shanghai, is really inferior to him.
For a moment, Lao Jin's heart was a little tangled.
After all, it’s hard to say who is superior to whom!
Suppressing his surprise, Lao Jin greeted everyone while drinking and chatting, which made it very lively for a while.
After the food was removed, the four of them came to the side. Yang Xiaotao made a pot of tea and sat together to chat.
"Xiao Tao, I heard from Xiao Wu that the engine you built is very good."
"That's why I came here this time."
Lao Chen put down his cup and got to the point.
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Mr. Chen, my uncle told me about this. I also told the machinery factory that as long as there is an order here, I will rush there to make it."
Not to mention the general manager, even the production technology of the first branch factory has matured, and the production of four-cylinder engines is no longer a problem.
Zhang Wu listened and nodded, but Lao Chen shook his head and said, "That's not why I came here this time."
Yang Xiaotao and Lao Jin looked at each other, then looked over suspiciously.
Old Chen picked up the cup and took a sip, and then said, "This swordfish speedboat is good, but the situation we face is different from the ones in the north, so it is okay to use it near the sea, but farther away, we still need a larger boat."
Lao Jin frowned, "Lao Chen, do you want to build a destroyer?"
Yang Xiaotao was also surprised. This destroyer is not something that can be built. With the current domestic technology, if you want to design and then build it, the difficulty is no worse than that of missiles.
Mr. Chen shook his head, "There will be destroyers in the future, but they are not my purpose today."
"I came today for the gunboat."
"gunboat?"
Yang Xiaotao looked at Zhang Wu, who shook his head. He didn't know.
"Yes, the main force of our defense now is the fast gunboat."
"However, after actual combat with our current gunboats, we have discovered many problems, the biggest of which is the imbalance between speed and stability."
With that said, Mr. Chen revealed the purpose of his visit this time.
Nowadays, although most of the gunboats in Shanghai are domestically produced, core components such as engines are still imported.
Moreover, each gunboat uses two twelve-cylinder diesel engines.
However, in actual combat, when speed is pursued, if the two engines are used at high power, the front of the gunboat will tilt up, seriously affecting the shooting accuracy.
Only one engine can be used, which will affect the maneuverability.
Although relevant domestic research departments are redesigning gunboats, this window period is very dangerous.
"I heard about the eight-cylinder diesel engine you built, and I came here to ask how it performs."
Lao Chen said his purpose was an eight-cylinder diesel engine.
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao explained the engine's performance data, and Mr. Chen nodded.
"Eight hundred horsepower is quite a lot. Our current gunboats are from the Alliance, and the power is only a little over a thousand. This high-speed form has a too short lifespan, so we don't dare to use it under normal circumstances."
"Besides, now it's a waste of one and one less!"
"It's hard to say anything else about your engines. At least they can be replaced if they break down, so I'm here to see if you can allocate a few of them to us for use!"
After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao did not rush to agree, but asked, "Mr. Chen, I personally have no problem with this matter, but this machinery factory does not have the final say alone, and the engine matter is not a trivial matter. It needs to be
Let’s discuss it.”
"However, I will try my best to fight for you!"
"Well, I know that. Just do your best."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, then got up and walked to the study.
After a while, Yang Xiaotao dialed Yang Youning's phone number at the machinery factory.
Yang Youning was a little surprised when he received the call, especially when he heard that an engine was needed here. After thinking for a while, he became interested.
After thinking for a moment, Yang Youning said, "I think it will happen."
"There are many paths and there are many directions."
"How do you say that, if there is no light in the east, there will be light in the west. This engine is not good even for armored vehicles and trucks. If it is not good for trucks, wouldn't there be gunboats now?"
"This deal will not be a loss no matter how you calculate it!"
Yang Xiaotao was speechless as he listened, saying that his engine seemed useless.
But since Yang Youning said he agreed, based on his understanding of Liu Huaimin, there should be no problem.
After explaining the situation, Yang Youning was responsible for taking care of the situation in the factory, and then asked Yang Xiaotao when he would return before hanging up the phone.
Returning to the living room, Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Nine times out of ten, there will be no problem."
Lao Chen smiled, and Zhang Wu on the side was also happy.
Because of the engine, they have less time to go out for training, and they have to consider various factors during combat, which greatly increases the risk of combat.
If the engine problem is solved, that would be good news.
"Mr. Chen, if you didn't come this time, I really wouldn't know you were in this business!"
Yang Xiaotao smiled and gave Lao Chen some water. Lao Chen waved his hand, "I don't dare to say it because I'm afraid it will be embarrassing."
"There is nothing to be ashamed of. They are all guarding the border for the country and are glorious soldiers."
Yang Xiaotao was puzzled, but Lao Chen shook his head, "You don't understand!"
"The sea, so many people's dreams! So many sailors' dreams!"
"But we can't protect the place in front of this house well..."
