When he walked in, Xu Yuanshan was talking on the phone. There were two open lunch boxes on the table. At first glance, he knew they were not from the canteen, but should have been brought from home.
Two fine-grain steamed buns, one scrambled egg, and a ball of cabbage underneath.
This food is pretty good.
"If you have nothing to do, why are you wandering around? Go back and chat with your men."
Seeing Yang Xiaotao looking at the lunch box, Xu Yuanshan hung up the phone and said angrily.
"Uncle Xu, you are so busy that you haven't even eaten. The cold is not good for your stomach."
He closed the lunch box and said, "I'll heat it up for you."
"No, leave the lunch box for me."
"Looking at what you said, it sounds like I'm about to eat it. Well, this is what my aunt made, it's so delicious."
As Yang Xiaotao spoke, he was already lying on the scrambled eggs and smelling them. The veins on Xu Yuanshan's forehead wrinkled.
This guy did it on purpose.
"You kid, tell me if you have anything to do."
"Hey, Uncle Xu, what's going on with Lou Xiao'e?"
Xu Yuanshan knew that if this kid didn't explain things clearly to him, he would come back to bother him in the future.
Xu Yuanshan then talked about the news he knew.
When Xu Yuanshan talked about the history of the steel rolling mill, Yang Xiaotao knew some about it from film and television works in his previous life, but he just followed what others said, and no one really said anything about the specific situation.
In Xu Yuanshan's narration, he finally got a concrete impression about the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.
The Red Star Rolling Mill was formerly a small factory that combined foreign investment and national capital. Later, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out and was occupied by the Japanese, foreign capital withdrew and national capital was plundered.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, national capital returned, that is, the forces represented by the Lou family took over the steel rolling mill and were managed by officials appointed by the then government.
During the War of Liberation, the Lou family followed the general trend and became red capitalists. They contributed a lot to the peaceful liberation of Forty-Nine City and saved most of the machinery in the steel rolling mill.
After the founding of the country, it has always contributed to national construction.
Later, after state-owned reorganization, the steel rolling mill was nationalized, but considering the contribution made by the Lou family and the need for their management experience, some share rights were retained.
It's just that as managers mature, the country's demand for steel rolling mills increases day by day, and the superiors have stronger control over the steel rolling mills.
Therefore, up to now, most of the equity interests in the steel rolling mill have been confiscated, but some are still in the hands of individuals.
There are always some constraints on this part of the equity, and we also need to care about some reputation, so we are thinking of taking back these shares.
But with little success.
It was at this time that the Lou family returned their equity, and Lou Jingtang resigned from the board of directors, completely giving up his rights.
And that's not all. Lou Jingtang turned over most of his family's money to support national construction.
These days, the country’s foreign exchange reserves are only so small. There are so many good things that you can bring back with just the money, but you just don’t have the money to buy them.
This move made the superiors see the signs of Qianjin City's horse bones, and they used them as examples, so they naturally received preferential treatment.
Lou Xiao'e came to work in the steel rolling mill because of Lou Jingtang's request.
In this regard, the superior department agreed and handed it over directly to the steel rolling mill.
"You kid, remember, the composition of Lou Xiao'e now is different from the Lou Xiao'e before."
Xu Yuanshan was afraid that Yang Xiaotao would not understand clearly, so he warned, "In the past, she was the daughter of a capitalist, but now, she is a worker in our factory and our revolutionary comrade."
"The same applies to Lou Jingtang. We must treat comrades who love the motherland equally and cannot discriminate because of past events."
Yang Xiaotao listened and nodded immediately.
But in my heart, I was still worried.
It's now 63 years.
What will happen if the Lou family is reported again?
Maybe it will be better than what you see in movies and TV shows, but maybe you have to go to Hong Kong Island.
But at this time, Hong Kong Island was not necessarily a good place. Gangs, criminal policemen, street gangs, gun battles, etc. were even more chaotic than in China.
Regardless of these things, it is hard to say whether the leaders of the steel rolling mill, or even himself, will be implicated because of this matter.
Those people are all unreasonable beings.
Yang Xiaotao doesn't think that Xu Damao, especially, is not a generous person.
Now that you know Lou Xiao'e works here, are you crazy?
Once you see an opportunity, you have to take the plunge.
When Yang Xiaotao came out of Xu Yuanshan's room, there was no movement in the office, so he walked in.
Lou Xiao'e was sorting out the information on the table. She didn't know what she was doing. She just wanted to find something to do. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to stare at each other in this room.
When Yang Xiaotao walked in, Lou Xiao'e's eyes came over.
"It's okay, just be busy."
Yang Xiaotao said, walked back to the table and started working.
Lou Xiao'e looked at it and finally plucked up the courage, "Gong Yang, you, you have a job, do you want to leave it to me?"
Yang Xiaotao looked up, then frowned, and took out a stack of drawings from his hand. He had checked these, but Lou Xiao'e didn't know.
"This is the drawing of the heating furnace. It is for the brother factory. Please check the parameters above."
Yang Xiaotao handed over the drawing and took out another drawing, "As long as it is the same as the value above."
Lou Xiao'e nodded, and after taking it, she returned to her original seat and compared it carefully.
When she was about to get off work in the afternoon, Lou Xiao'e was sitting on a stool and had already read the drawings on hand twice. However, she saw Yang Xiaotao reading a book and it was not convenient to disturb him, so she kept waiting.
It wasn't until after get off work that Yang Xiaotao stretched out and put the books away, then got up and sent over the compiled drawings.
"After reading it, there is no problem with these."
Lou Xiao'e put the materials on the table and looked at Yang Xiaotao, "What tasks do I have tomorrow?"
"Well, it's okay. I'll tell you if there's anything."
Yang Xiaotao got up, took his backpack, packed it up, and got ready to get off work.
"By the way, when you have nothing to do, you can read a book."
Lou Xiao'e nodded, "Okay."
The two left the office one after the other and then rode their bikes home.
During working hours, there is no other communication.
The same goes for after get off work.
However, to outsiders, it doesn’t look like this.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yu Haitang stood at the gate, holding a handkerchief, looking at Lou Xiao'e with jealousy in his eyes.
At noon today, she went to see Yang Xiaotao and planned to talk to Yang Xiaotao about this exchange group. After all, some things needed to be publicized, and the factory leaders also said that they should be publicized well.
Isn't this just an opportunity?
But who would have thought that when she entered the office, she saw a woman sitting inside, which shocked her.
After the conversation, she learned that this woman would be working here from now on. At that moment, she just felt that she had entered the wrong room and it was difficult to speak.
Fortunately, the other person may have just joined the factory and is not familiar with things, so what he said may be wrong.
The two of them just exchanged polite words and exchanged words, ended in a hurry, and went about their business.
After leaving the office, Yu Haitang asked someone to find out the details of the woman.
Lou Xiao'e, Xu Damao's ex-wife, a resident of Yang Xiaotao's compound.
However, I heard that there was something going on between the two of them, and she didn't know the details, but she always felt that their relationship was too deliberate.
Deliberate avoidance is abnormal.
As Yu Haitang walked, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. Yang Xiaotao made it very clear that he didn't want to see her in the first place. Now here comes Lou Xiao'e. Could it be that Yang Xiaotao likes this kind of woman?
For a moment, Yu Haitang seemed to have caught something, but she couldn't accept this.
"Forget it, it's not like I can't get married, I'm much better than Yang Xiaotao!"
…
"It's not normal! It's not normal!"
Silly Zhu followed the first man behind him and clicked his tongue, with a gossipy look on his face.
On the contrary, Yi Zhonghai had no feelings at all, or in other words, he didn't want to pay attention to anything Yang Xiaotao had to do.
If you don't worry about it, you won't get into trouble.
"Master, do you think Yang Xiaotao and Lou Xiao'e are having an affair? These two people almost got together before, but now they are in the same office, hehe."
Silly Zhu smiled maliciously, as if he had seen the scene where Yang Xiaotao returned home and was bitterly lectured by his wife and daughter-in-law.
"Zhuzi, we don't care what Yang Xiaotao likes."
"It's you, you're over 26 years old, right? Look, you're already an older young man, why don't you hurry up?"
After hearing this, Shazhu looked depressed, "Master, I'm looking for you now. Last time I went to find a matchmaker, but they didn't see me at all. What can I do?"
"What should I do? If you don't look at what you've done, why can't you just say something? If you can't find a wife, you just have to be a bachelor for the rest of your life."
Silly Zhu's expression changed. He looked at Yi Zhonghai walking away and stamped his feet angrily, "Isn't she just a wife? It's not like I haven't found one yet."
"After the Chinese New Year, I will go looking for them. I can't find them in the city, but there are not a lot of them in the countryside."
Silly Zhu thought of the corn pile and Qin Huairu, a girl from the countryside, who was even better.
Yang Xiaotao returned to the courtyard, and Ran Qiuye was active in the courtyard. Rice was cooking on the stove in the house. When he saw Yang Xiaotao coming back, he quickly prepared to clear the table for dinner.
"Daughter-in-law, let me go inside first and tell you something."
Ran Qiuye was pulled into the room by Yang Xiaotao and sat on the bed. Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was very serious, Ran Qiuye quickly asked what was going on.
Yang Xiaotao told what happened about Lou Xiao'e, and then looked at Ran Qiuye.
"That's it. What do you look like?"
Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was very serious, Ran Qiuye couldn't help but laugh.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao felt that he was taking it too seriously.
But Ran Qiuye must know about this matter.
He didn't ask anything else, "Just let me tell you about this."
"I thought it was something. It's great that Xiao'e can go to work in the steel rolling mill. When we talked before, she wanted to find a job. Unfortunately, because of her background, she never went out to look for it. This time she can find a job, and I will do it for her.
happy."
Yang Xiaotao saw that Ran Qiuye was really happy for Lou Xiao'e, and then he realized that he was overthinking.
But your attitude must be correct. Telling it yourself and hearing it from others have two different effects.
"That's it, nothing more."
"I understand, it's not easy for Xiao'e to work. Please pay more attention to her in the future."
"Okay, hurry up and wash your hands and go eat."
Yang Xiaotao looked at it again and again, Ran Qiuye smiled, then nodded and fetched water to wash his hands.
Ran Qiuye watched Yang Xiaotao leave, a hint of sadness appeared on his smiling face, but it quickly dissipated.
Excellent men always make women insecure, and so does she.
Although the time she spent with Yang Xiaotao didn't last long, the feeling he gave her made her understand that she could no longer leave him.
From not daring to dream at first, to now having a warm home, she is very satisfied and can even make any sacrifices.
But she doesn't want to be a vase, or the vines on Yang Xiaotao's big tree. What she wants to do is the same tree, even if it's not tall, but it will stay with him and go through the wind and rain together.
In Leo Tolstoy's book, Anna's tragic life tells her that love is not easy to get, but once you get it, you must cherish it and not tolerate suspicion.
She found love and therefore cherished this love even more.
When Yang Xiaotao came back, Ran Qiuye was as usual, making Yang Xiaotao feel particularly at ease.
Just as he thought, Lou Xiao'e is just a colleague now.
Jia family
Mrs. Jia Zhang covered her nose and struggled to lift Jia Dongxu. Qin Huairu endured nausea and quickly changed her clothes, then quickly went out to prepare for cleaning.
Jia Zhang put Jia Dongxu down and ran out to breathe fresh air.
As for Bangge Xiaodang, he ran out of the house long ago, leaving Jia Dongxu alone, unable to move and could only suffer in the house.
"Dad, can't you just say, it's so smelly, how can our family eat?"
Banggeng was standing at the door. Today, Jia Zhang couldn't bear Banggeng's entanglement. She took out a dollar and asked Qin Huairu to buy some meat. While dinner was being cooked, Jia Dongxu's roar came from the room.
Then, there was a pungent stench everywhere in the house, and several people quickly opened the windows and got busy again.
"Little bastard, try roaring again?"
Jia Dongxu was lying on the bed, his veins bulging out from anger, "Get in here, or I'll beat you to death for being unfilial."
"If you don't go in, I won't go in. If you can, get up."
"You, you little beast, come in here, cough cough"
"I won't go in. It's so smelly inside. It's all your fault. It's all your fault."
