After leaving the Red Star Machinery Factory, Mr. Peng and Mr. Chen were sitting in the car.
"Old Chen, what do you think will happen to the aircraft from the Red Star Machinery Factory?"
Mr. Peng suddenly asked.
Mr. Chen pondered for a moment and then said, "The original intention of the Red Star Machinery Factory is to make use of their engines."
"And the performance of this engine is even better than that produced by the Third Machinery Department."
"And you see, this design drawing clearly shows that there are two engines. In other words, the speed of this aircraft will definitely exceed that of Shengjing."
Mr. Chen expressed his judgment, and Mr. Peng pursed his lips and nodded, "So you are more optimistic about the aircraft from this machine factory, right?"
"Yes, I believe in the design of the machinery factory, and even more so in Yang Xiaotao's design."
"This can be guaranteed from the previous engines and machine tools."
"What's more, in order to manufacture airplanes, the machinery factory specially built a Mercury machine tool."
"This is the best machine tool in the country."
Mr. Peng nodded again, then thought for a moment, and then sighed.
"At the last meeting, even though we talked about three ways, we have to implement it."
"However, given our current situation and limited resources, we must prioritize and make choices."
Mr. Chen immediately agreed after hearing this, "I agree with your judgment."
"Three roads going hand in hand will only slow down the progress. On the contrary, focusing on breakthroughs is the most suitable for the present."
"Well, so, I want to bet my money on the machine factory's plane."
Mr. Peng said seriously. Mr. Chen leaned back in his chair and nodded lightly.
"In our machine shop, there will be no problem."
"I believe it too, Comrade Yang Xiaotao!"
...
While people in the machinery factory were looking for Yang Xiaotao everywhere, Yang Xiaotao came to the West Garden on his bicycle carrying the fish he caught.
I originally wanted to rest when I got home, but when I got home, I remembered that Ran Qiuye came to report to the elder sister.
He also thought about visiting the old man and connecting with Tong Xiaolong.
So he came with the fish he caught.
The guard at the door naturally knew Yang Xiaotao, but before he could report, he saw Tong Xiaolong passing by. After seeing Yang Xiaotao, he immediately ran over.
"Brother Xiaotao, why do you come here when you have time?"
"What's going on?"
Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and picked up the fish and eggs in his hand, "It's okay, I just came to see the leader!"
After hearing this, Tong Xiaolong took Yang Xiaotao inside and helped Yu.
"Did you catch this?"
"Of course, my fishing ability is second to none, but no one dares to say I'm first."
Yang Xiaotao boasted, but Tong Xiaolong believed it. After all, he didn't know how to fish, but when he saw that Yang Xiaotao could catch fish, he felt very impressive.
Several people walked around and soon arrived at the courtyard.
"Sister! Look who's coming!"
Yang Xiaotao walked in and Ran Qiuye was talking to the eldest sister.
There was Secretary Tang on the side, reaching out to pat a child in front of him to attract attention.
The three people's eyes were all on the child who was trying to learn to walk.
Yang Xiaotao looked over and saw that the child was only one or two years old. He was learning to walk in the courtyard at the moment, but he looked a bit familiar.
Tong Xiaolong's voice immediately attracted the attention of the three people.
In an instant, the three of them turned around and saw Yang Xiaotao.
Then the three of them felt their hearts pounding.
Especially Tang Mingyue, who subconsciously turned to look at her son.
Ran Qiuye also panicked, fearing that Yang Xiaotao would see something, so he quickly stood up and stood in front of him.
The eldest sister responded the fastest, "We were talking about you just now, and then you came."
"It really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao have arrived!"
The eldest sister said, attracting Yang Xiaotao's attention.
Yang Xiaotao looked away from the child on the side, and then said with a smile, "I got off work early today, so I came to see you and the chief."
The eldest sister smiled and said, "Then you're late. Your chief hasn't come back from the meeting yet."
"The chief is so busy, so he has to take care of himself."
Yang Xiaotao immediately expressed concern, but when he glanced at Tong Xiaolong beside him, he immediately understood that the eldest sister was joking.
Sure enough, the next second the old man walked out of the house wearing a white shirt and holding a paper airplane in his hand. He was also stunned when he saw Yang Xiaotao.
Just now, he received a call from Mr. Chen and told him what happened in the machinery factory.
I also knew that this guy gave the workers a holiday, which made Lao Peng and the others even more disappointed.
Then he saw the fish in Yang Xiaotao's hand and the haggard look on his face.
At this time, I didn’t forget to come see him. My heart suddenly felt warm!
"Come here, do you have anything else to bring?"
"Qiuye has brought it, you should bring it too, let's bring two loads of things together as a family."
The old man walked to the child with a smile, put the paper airplane in his hand, and gestured with the child's hand.
Yang Xiaotao quickly answered, "Of course, Qiuye came to see eldest sister, and I came to see you."
The eldest sister was unhappy and said, "If you don't look at me, I won't cook for you."
"Then let me come, I just brought some fish, try my skills!"
The eldest sister smiled and said, "You are openly bribing me."
"That's not true. I didn't buy the fish. It doesn't cost anything, so it doesn't count as a bribe."
"Okay, you guys, sit down quickly."
"Xiaolong, send the things to the kitchen."
Tong Xiaolong responded, then ran back with the fish in hand.
The old man found a place to sit down, then picked up the child who was holding a stool and sat beside him.
Yang Xiaotao came to sit next to Ran Qiuye.
"Are you free today?"
"After finishing the work in the factory, I came over to take a look."
Yang Xiaotao replied, and then asked, "Whose child is this? Brother Tong's? Isn't his daughter a girl?"
"Why does it look a little, a little, familiar?"
Yang Xiaotao's voice was not loud, but people nearby could hear it.
Ran Qiuye panicked, and Tang Mingyue clenched her fists even more with her back to Yang Xiaotao.
Finally, the eldest sister said, "This is my relative's child. How about it? Isn't it cute?"
"Yeah, she's very cute, with a tiger-like head and a tiger-like brain."
"Hey, I get it."
Yang Xiaotao suddenly pointed at the child in the old man's arms. At this time, Xingxing also looked at Yang Xiaotao, and the two happened to meet their eyes.
Tang Mingyue felt her heartbeat stopped, and Ran Qiuye was ready to tell the truth.
The eldest sister and the old man also exchanged glances calmly, but they didn't want Yang Xiaotao to say at this time, "I know, the clothes this child is wearing are from the Dragon Boat Festival. I wonder why he looks so familiar."
"It looks just like the Dragon Boat Festival."
As he said this, Yang Xiaotao started laughing.
Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, and Ran Qiuye nodded, "There are still a lot of clothes during the Dragon Boat Festival, just in time for my brother to wear."
Tang Mingyue shook her head at Ran Qiuye, who immediately understood.
"That's right, I still have girls' clothes at home."
"When we have another girl, this sister will have more clothes to wear."
The eldest sister shook her head and smiled, "How did you know it was a girl?"
"intuition."
Everyone was stunned by Yang Xiaotao's answer, and then laughed.
"This boy has teeth."
Seeing the child in the old man's arms open his mouth and smile, showing a few small teeth, Yang Xiaotao couldn't help but become curious.
"Teeth don't grow until eight months."
The old man smiled and then motioned to Yang Xiaotao, "Wake up and go play with uncle for a while."
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao immediately stood up and walked over, "Wake up? This nickname is good, what is your nickname?"
Yang Xiaotao stepped forward, and the eldest sister at the side said, "Child, just call me by your nickname!"
Yang Xiaotao didn't care either. Their children all had nicknames and were called smoothly.
I just call him by his famous name when I go to school.
"Come, wake up, uncle, give me a hug."
The little guy wasn't afraid of food either. He took it from the old man's arms and said, "Oh, it's still a little heavy. It looks like it's a good meal!"
"Let's go, uncle will take you to fly~"
Hahaha
Cluck cluck~~~
Tang Mingyue stood aside, and Ran Qiuye stepped forward to hold each other's hand. The two of them watched Yang Xiaotao wandering around the yard holding the child.
"Duanwu kissed me like this when I was little."
"But when I grow up, I start to take on the airs of my father."
Ran Qiuye smiled, "But he really likes my daughter."
"Duanwu has been beaten a lot since he was so old, but his three daughters have never touched a finger."
"Sometimes I change my face, and in private he goes to be a good person."
Tang Mingyue listened quietly, and then laughed, "It seems like this guy owed a lot of marriage debt in his previous life."
Then he looked at Ran Qiuye and said, "You have to be careful."
Ran Qiuye smiled confidently, "We will take care of it together."
Tang Mingyue's face suddenly turned red!
...
At noon, at the dinner table.
Yang Xiaotao placed the braised carp in the middle, and the aroma was overflowing.
There were many people eating, and the dinner table was very lively.
"Xiao Tao, I heard that you built a machine tool?"
"Yes, sir, our machine tool is called Mercury. It was developed based on the best machine tools in France."
"But chief, our machine tool is better than France's."
Yang Xiaotao said seriously, and the old man nodded.
"But I heard that this machine tool is difficult and requires a lot of resources?"
"Yes, the last production of one Mercury machine tool took more than forty Morningstar machine tools."
Yang Xiaotao thought for a moment and replied, "But it's all worth it. With this Mercury machine tool, we can build airplanes better."
"Well, Lao Chen called me just now and heard that you have made the design drawings of the aircraft?"
Yang Xiaotao picked up the wine glass and poured it for the old man, "Yes, we just decided this morning. The overall structure has been completed, and the rest is to supplement it!"
The old man listened and rubbed his fingers on the wine glass.
Of course he knew about the little black bird.
We are also aware of the current situation we are facing. The country is completely helpless about this!
When the eldest sister and the others heard the two talking, they all lowered their voices and listened carefully.
Tong Xiaolong even took Yang Xiaotao's wine bottle and poured wine for several people.
"How confident are you?"
the old man asked cautiously.
Yang Xiaotao didn’t think much about it, “I can definitely do it!”
"As for whether we can achieve the predetermined goal, it depends on how far we go!"
"You also know that domestic resources are limited, and many good designs are eventually defeated by practical difficulties, so..."
Yang Xiaotao did not continue because everyone present knew it.
Even Ran Qiuye, who has been with Yang Xiaotao for so long, knows some things.
The old man was silent for a moment, and then said, "Just do your best!"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Don't worry, our machinery factory has made so many preparations just for this last hammer!"
The old man smiled, "That's good!"
"Come on, let's eat, let's eat!"
After everyone heard this, they immediately picked up their chopsticks.
"Chief, I respect you!"
"good…"
…
The lunch lasted until almost two o'clock, and then Yang Xiaotao left with Ran Qiuye.
After the two people left, the old man came to the conference room and picked up the phone to make a call.
"Lao Peng, it's me!"
"Well, Yang Xiaotao was here just now, and I just have something to suggest to you!"
"I think..."
When the old man finished speaking, Mr. Peng fell silent on the other end of the phone.
"I know, I will consider it carefully!"
After a long time, Mr. Peng's voice came, and the old man hung up the phone.
On the side, Tang Mingyue couldn't help clenching her fists after hearing the old man's suggestion. Now after making the phone call, she spoke.
"Chief, isn't this arrangement too hasty?"
"After all, he, Yang Xiaotao, is too young!"
After hearing this, the old man waved his hand and said, "We revolutionary comrades don't talk about seniority!"
"Whoever has the ability will be in charge!"
"If we adopt that set of formalism, will the revolution still have a future?"
The old man said with a serious look on his face, "And, I think he can do it!"
