Ran's father led several people to the entrance of the courtyard and said hello to the neighbors.
Qian Lao looked around, but he looked familiar.
"Compared to the last time I came here, there's more of a human atmosphere."
"Old Qian, have you been here before?"
Mr. Wang said curiously, Mr. Qian nodded, "Yes, Comrade Lao Ran just came over at that time, and I came to have dinner."
"Okay, it turns out you two have been hooked up for a long time."
Mr. Wang pretended to be unhappy and then asked, "Who is there?"
Mr. Qian smiled, and Father Ran said at the side, "We all came from the northwest at that time and had a meal at home."
"In the past, we had Lao Li and Li Chengjun from the Seventh Machinery Department, Wang Zaijin from the Fourth Machinery Department, and Lao Zheng from the Third Machinery Department."
Mr. Wang counted them and said, "Yes, they are all elites. Why don't you call me?"
Qian Lao glanced at it and said, "I brought Fenjiu with me."
Mr. Wang stopped talking.
"Well, I was running around here and there."
"By the way, I also went to the machinery factory to catch the autumn wind, that guy, haha..."
Mr. Wang also became happy when he thought of the "good memories" at that time.
After coming back to his senses, he saw several people looking at him, and quickly put away his smile, then pretended to be carefree and looked around, "Well, this place is nice."
"I just like walking among people. If I take a walk after get off work, I will feel less irritable."
"Ahem."
"Of course, it's good to read a book when everyone is quiet in the middle of the night."
"Ha ha"
After hearing this, Father Ran and Mr. Qian turned to look to the side. This man must have misunderstood reading.
But before the three of them entered the courtyard, they saw another car coming not far away.
Usually, this kind of car is rare, so Ran and his father stood aside and waited.
When the car stopped, I saw a middle-aged man getting out of the passenger seat, then a fat old man getting out, and finally an old man with silver hair.
When Mr. Wang saw the person coming, he immediately smiled and said, "Old Tao, you are going out for a walk, and you ended up walking here."
Mr. Wang smiled, and Mr. Qian also saw the old dean and came forward to meet him.
When Mr. Tao saw that it was Mr. Wang, he immediately held out his hand in disgust, "Why do I meet you, a shameless person like you, here? When did you return my wine last time?"
"Hey, Old Taozi, how can I repay the wine I drank in my stomach?"
Mr. Wang said nonchalantly, "You can't let me..."
"Shut up!"
"Hahaha!!!"
Several people met each other, and finally Mr. Tao looked at Ran's father, stepped forward and stretched out his hand, and Ran's father quickly took it with both hands.
"Comrade Ran Zhiqiang, hello, hello."
"Hello, Chief!"
Ran's father still didn't understand what was going on, so he could only be polite.
The old dean on the side smiled and said, "We went to the courtyard, but we couldn't find him, so we asked around and came here."
Ran's father knew as soon as he heard that he was looking for Yang Xiaotao.
This kind of thing has happened countless times along the way, but I'm used to it.
"Xiao Tao should be in the courtyard, I'll ask him to come out right away."
"Hey! Lao Ran, what's your name? We just happened to go in for dinner together."
"What are you waiting for?"
Mr. Wang stopped Ran's father, winked at him, and then looked at Mr. Tao, "We're going to eat. You need to bring a gift."
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the box held in the driver's arms.
Mr. Tao rolled his eyes, "You think everyone is just like you, waving their fingers."
"This wine must be from Lao Qian."
"If I were to let you go, you would have drank it all long ago."
"Haha, the one who knows me is Old Tao!"
"Fuck you~"
Then a group of people, led by Ran's father, walked into the courtyard.
Yang Xiaotao was watching the Dragon Boat Festival and the children in the courtyard pushing the cow. The two boys, both about the same age, were full of energy and pushed forward hard one by one.
A group of children were surrounding, shouting and cheering.
In the eyes of these children, there is no son of Mr. Yang or the son of the director.
In this courtyard, anyone who comes to play becomes a good friend.
A very pure friend.
The grandfather of the little boy on the side opened his mouth with few teeth and smiled happily. Seeing the child so lively, he kept sighing to Yang Xiaotao, saying that now the children have enough to eat.
In the past, when a young man lived in poverty and had two sons at home, the family had a tight life.
Yang Xiaotao nodded, although in his memory he had never been hungry during the Dragon Boat Festival. Even the children in the yard had rarely starved to death in the past two years.
But when he was a child, he knew what it felt like to be hungry.
Now listening to the old man talking about the past, it feels like it is happening before my eyes.
Several people were chatting, with laughter and rebuttals coming from time to time.
"Dragon Boat Festival, push your right foot forward as hard as you can, oh, don't go back."
"Harder!"
"Ouch~~"
Ran Hongbing, who was playing, was trying to help the Dragon Boat Festival when he suddenly felt a pain in his head, as if something had bounced off him. He hurriedly covered his head and turned around, just in time to see Ran's father's serious expression.
"Dad, dad~~"
After shouting twice, he hurriedly ran into the house.
"Mom, sister, dad is back~~~"
Yang Xiaotao stood up from the steps when he heard the noise, looked up, and his eyes shrank.
There are quite a few people here.
Without thinking too much, he quickly ran forward to greet him.
"dad!"
"Chief Wang."
"Hello, Chief Tao."
"Uncle Qian!"
"Old Dean."
"Lao Gao."
Yang Xiaotao ran up to him and said hello.
From beginning to end, I shouted one by one.
Everyone smiled and nodded. When they entered the yard just now, they saw Yang Xiaotao sitting there chatting with the old man. It was rare to see such a down-to-earth person.
"Xiao Yang, there's something wrong with your title."
When everyone was about to enter the house, Mr. Wang suddenly felt something was wrong. He waved his finger at Yang Xiaotao and said, "You call me and Lao Tao both leaders, but it's wrong to call me Lao Qian."
"Old Qian, when did he become your uncle?"
After Mr. Wang finished speaking, he looked at Yang Xiaotao.
"Oh, it's my fault, I called you the wrong junior."
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Tao, please come in quickly, please come in."
Yang Xiaotao immediately changed his title, and Mr. Wang laughed, "That's right."
Mr. Tao also smiled, "Don't listen to this guy's nonsense."
"No, Uncle Wang is right."
Yang Xiaotao looked serious, and if Mr. Tao didn't mind, he followed Ran's father into the house.
Ran's mother came out and saw Ran's father. She glanced at him first, and then hurriedly greeted the guests into the house.
Several people sat down, and Ran Qiuye also helped bring tea and water.
Ran Xinrui even handed Mr. Wang tea.
When he was bullied in school, it was Mr. Wang who brought him there, but Ran Xinrui always kept it in mind.
Mr. Qian also knew about Ran Xinrui. Then he looked at the certificates on the wall and couldn't help but ask, "Xinrui, how are you studying? Where do you rank in the class?"
Ran Xinrui looked at Ran's father, and then subconsciously looked at Yang Xiaotao.
Seeing her brother-in-law nodding to her, she whispered, "First in the class."
"First, yes. Is this a junior high school?"
Mr. Wang asked.
Ran's father smiled and said, "I will be in the third grade of junior high school this year and will go to high school in the Chinese New Year."
"Okay, where are you at the senior department?"
Mr. Qian asked again.
Ran Xinrui felt confident this time, "It's also number one."
"Okay, this is, the tiger father has no dog daughter."
Mr. Wang was happy again, and then looked at Ran Hongbing who ran in, "Old Ran, your son is studying well, right?"
Ran's father was happy, then, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he looked back at Ran Hongbing who was carrying the Dragon Boat Festival behind him, "This, it's not bad."
"Lao Ran is so humble."
Ran's father smiled, and when Yang Xiaotao saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to pour water for Mr. Wang, and at the same time told Ran Hongbing, a lookless guy, to go away quickly.
If we don’t leave, the fried pork with bamboo shoots will be a must-have tonight.
"What do you want to do in the future?"
Mr. Qian focused his attention on Ran Xinrui. After asking about it just now, he found that the little girl had a very solid foundation and became interested.
"I, I..."
Ran Xinrui looked at Ran's father, and finally at Yang Xiaotao, and then made up her mind, "I want to be a worker. A worker as good as my brother-in-law."
Hahaha
Ran's father was helpless. His original intention was to let Ran Xinrui take over his class, and Xinrui was very good at studying physics.
But later on, for some reason, Yang Xiaotao led me astray.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Yang Xiaotao.
Yang Xiaotao is also very helpless. He is a great worker, but it is not suitable for you.
"Xinrui, if you want to be a great worker, you need more than just your brother-in-law."
Mr. Qian said patiently, "Do you know the moon?"
Ran Xinrui nodded.
"Then do you know what's on the moon?"
Ran Xinrui thought for a moment, "There is Chang'e, there is Wu Gang, and there is little rabbit."
"Did you see that?"
"No, I heard what my brother-in-law said."
Ran's father looked back again, "What did this teach me?"
Yang Xiaotao expressed his innocence.
I was just kidding.
"Then you want to know?"
"Um!"
"Then you have to go up and have a look, right?"
"Um!"
"But how to get up there?"
Ran Xinrui shook his head, "I don't know."
Qian Lao smiled and said, "This is what your father is doing now. One day, the rocket your father makes will allow people to fly to the moon."
Ran Xinrui's eyes widened and she looked back at Ran's father with longing in her eyes.
Father Ran nodded and showed a kind smile.
Yang Xiaotao could see clearly from behind that at this moment, Ran Xinrui was completely on the same path as Comrade Lao Ran.
"In the future, I will fly to the moon and see if there are any little rabbits."
Hearing Ran Xinrui's words, everyone around him smiled kindly.
Then Ran Xinrui ran out to play, and far away Yang Xiaotao could still hear Ran Hongbing arguing about the big kite.
"Xiao Tao, Lao Tao and I came here to see you for something."
The old dean picked up the water glass and took a sip. Seeing that several people were chatting, he explained his intention.
Yang Xiaotao looked over quickly.
Mr. Tao put down his cup and said, "We are waiting for news about hybrid rice in Sijiu City."
"Team Leader Yuan reported the situation to us and said he would hand over the information to you."
"We are here to confirm again so that we can report the good news to the superiors."
Yang Xiaotao immediately felt embarrassed when he heard this.
On the way back, he actually forgot about this incident.
I originally thought of calling the old dean when I went to work tomorrow, but unexpectedly, he came to me directly.
"Well, Uncle Tao, the old dean, this one, I was thinking about celebrating the festival today, so I didn't bother you two."
"I thought I'd report the situation to you tomorrow..."
Yang Xiaotao smiled, and Mr. Wang beside him became excited again.
"Xiao Yang, I have to talk about you."
"We revolutionary workers must have a spirit of dedication and a spirit of revolution first."
"Look at your father-in-law. He is very dedicated to his work. The first thing he thinks about when he comes back is work."
"Look at you again, still enjoying the festival leisurely here. You have to learn from your father-in-law."
Yang Xiaotao nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Uncle Wang is right. My awareness is indeed a bit lacking. I will actively improve in the future and learn from my father-in-law."
Then he immediately got down to business, "Uncle Tao, old dean, after I went to Chaoyang, I saw with my own eyes the harvesting process of hybrid rice."
"The yield of one thousand catties per mu is real data, there is no falsification, and there is no falsehood..."
Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, the three of them all had smiles on their faces.
Even Mr. Wang and Mr. Qian opened their mouths in surprise.
Mr. Qian comes from the south and knows a little about rice cultivation. Being able to produce a thousand catties per mu is definitely something extraordinary.
"Xiao Yang, such important news should have been told earlier."
Qian Lao said something, and Ran's father also nodded.
"Well, it's not like I have too many things to do. I kind of forgot about it."
Yang Xiaotao said embarrassedly, apologizing to Director Gao and the other three.
Gao Yufeng smiled and said, "You guys sit down first, I'll make a phone call."
Yang Xiaotao embarrassedly sent Gao Yufeng out of the house, but before he left, he saw Liu Huaimin running over in a hurry.
When he saw Yang Xiaotao, he shouted, "You guys, we are all very busy, but you have nothing to do. Give yourself a holiday."
People in the house heard the noise and came out to take a look.
When Yang Xiaotao heard what Liu Huaimin said, he smiled bitterly and said, "Old Liu, stop talking. I have realized my mistake."
