Chapter 1456: Learn to be flexible

"Chief, please take a rest."

In Guangdong Mansion, Tang Mingyue looked at Uncle Deng's tired look and couldn't help but stepped forward to persuade him.

Although he heard the good news on the phone, facing the current situation still made him anxious.

Uncle Deng heard the voice. Although he was tired, he had a smile on his face. When he saw Tang Mingyue, he waved his hand quickly, "You, sit down quickly."

"Also, just like him, just call me uncle."

"Yeah! Uncle!"

"It's okay. If I move more, it will be good for my health."

Tang Mingyue smiled sweetly.

When Uncle Deng heard this, a flash of guilt flashed in his eyes, "Xiao Tang, if we had known this earlier, we would have never let you go."

"In that case, you can still stay with my eldest sister and do what you like!"

Tang Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head, "Uncle, in that case, for both public and private reasons, it is the best choice for me to go."

"You and eldest sister don't have to do this. This is my choice."

"Actually, this is pretty good."

Tang Mingyue suddenly smiled confidently, "Really, I think it's pretty good."

"Besides, after it's over, I can still go back and continue to follow the chief, right?"

"I just hope you can keep it a secret and don't tell him."

The uncle shook his head helplessly, knowing that he would always feel sorry and guilty in his heart.

But this guilt can only be left to be made up for in the future.

"Okay, only a few of us know about this matter."

Tang Mingyue smiled, handed the tea in front of her with her own hands, and then said, "I didn't expect this place to be in such a mess."

"Yeah, how long has it been?"

"It can be seen that this time it is coming with great force."

Uncle Deng stood up with the teacup in hand, came to the map on the side, and looked at it carefully.

"Xiao Tang, have you been there, what's your impression of it?"

Uncle Deng suddenly spoke, and Tang Mingyue came to him, looking at the map of Xiangjiang, slowly recalling what he had seen and heard in his mind.

"Uncle, my first impression of the place is that it is very prosperous, even more prosperous than Shanghai."

"At that time, I went by boat with underground comrades, and I saw many boats in Weiwan, big and small, going back and forth. Some were transporting goods, and some were carrying people for fun."

"The streets are filled with all kinds of goods, and people are wearing more colorful clothes, beautiful clothes and bright skirts."

"There are also many shops and factories. Some factories come out with many workers after get off work, just like the machinery factories in Sijiu City."

"And many people come here every year, including our people, making their houses here more and more valuable. Real estate is developing very rapidly."

"pity!"

After Tang Mingyue said this, she felt regretful.

"What's a pity?"

"It's a pity that the environment here is very violent, people are fighting each other, and many dark forces are sprouting. It's very chaotic."

Uncle Deng nodded, "This is the world of capital. What they care about is always the smell of money on their hands, not the hardship of people's livelihood."

"But no matter how much copper stink is, it is worthless in the face of life."

Tang Mingyue smiled, "Otherwise there wouldn't be so many people running towards us now."

Uncle Deng nodded and looked at the map. There was a small fishing village across the river.

Because there were so many people coming back, he could only ask people to clear out the small fishing village first, send people to maintain order there, send food and medicine at the same time, and organize people to build houses to accommodate more and more people.

Although there are many people on the opposite side, this area is vast and sparsely populated, so we can accommodate as many as we want. However, this will increase the burden on the local area and is not a long-term solution.

After thinking again and again, Uncle Deng suddenly asked, "Mingyue, do you think it's a good thing that these people have come back?"

"Yeah, of course it's a good thing."

Tang Mingyue said without thinking, "People have fled to our place. Let's see how they manage the place in the future. Maybe they will leave this land and go back to their hometown."

"Just like now, they just ran away without knowing that their hometown is not safe either."

Tang Mingyue smiled, but found that Uncle Deng was shaking his head.

He took out a cigarette from his pocket, but held it in his mouth without lighting it.

"Uncle!"

"Am I wrong?"

"Save the land and lose the people, and everyone and the land will be lost; save the people and lose the land, and both the people and the land will survive. Isn't that what it means?"

"If we call all the people there, what else can they do?"

Hearing this, the uncle smiled and said, "That's correct, no problem."

"But we have to learn to be flexible. As you said, he also said to seek truth from facts."

"It just tells us to make better judgments based on the facts!"

"Think about it, if all the people on this land were gone and replaced by people from other places, would their hearts still be with us?"

"Then this land still belongs to us?"

Tang Mingyue's eyes widened and then shook his head.

"So, we want our people on that land."

"People who are devoted to us."

At this moment, Tang Mingyue saw a shrewd light of wisdom in Uncle Deng's eyes.

'Exchange blood! '

Suddenly, a word popped out of my mind, my body trembled, and then it was firmly pressed back into my stomach.

"So, the most important thing for us now is to see if Xiaotao and the others can do it."

Uncle Deng looked away from the map and then looked out the window. Although the plan was good, it needed an opportunity to execute it.

"Xiao Yang, have you listened to the radio?"

During the morning meal, Yang Xiaotao and Wang Xuebin were together.

Although several people's faces were still pale, they seemed to be eating more than the others.

Even in the past two days, although several people looked ugly, their bodies felt like they had gained weight.

Yang Xiaotao knew the key to this, and felt inexplicably moved in his heart.

"What's the broadcast? What's wrong?"

Yang Xiaotao was holding Erhe noodle steamed buns, eating pickles, and drinking porridge.

In order to relieve the boredom of a few people, Yang Xiaotao specially applied for a radio for them to use when they are bored.

After all, there are a few people here who have less time than the people watching the gate. If they don't find something to do, they will really get sick from boredom. "You really don't know."

"What do I know? Didn't you see that my butt is still on the ground all day long?"

Yang Xiaotao said angrily, and Lao Li on the side chuckled, "If I had known about it, I wouldn't have said it, so as not to make him happy."

Wang Xuebin also nodded, and several others snickered.

"No, Uncle Wang, what's going on? Is it good news?"

Wang Xuebin put the egg in his mouth, then smiled and said, "Your steel factory has made tinplate!"

"It was said on the radio that this is the first time in our country, but it is a big deal."

"There is also a passage from Mr. Chen in it, which highly praises the innovative spirit of the workers in your machinery factory."

"By the way, there are a few key names mentioned in it, and you're the first one."

"How about it, be happy!"

"Happy, of course I'm happy!"

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "I didn't expect it to actually be made."

"Oh, it's a pity that I wasn't there, otherwise it might have been in the newspapers again!"

Yang Xiaotao looked remorseful, which made Wang Xuebin and others feel unhappy. They lowered their heads and didn't bother to pay attention.

"I asked you what kind of brain you have!"

Lao Li muttered, and Yang Xiaotao chuckled, "It's just that long."

"This fully shows that people are different."

"cut!"

"You can make rockets if you can!"

Lao Li raised his neck and retorted, and Yang Xiaotao quickly lowered his head to eat.

But I was thinking, "When the system is upgraded, I'll go study the spaceship!"

……

Courtyard house

Ran Qiuye rushed back from Yangjiazhuang a long time ago, preparing to report the situation to his superiors.

Now that the weather is getting colder, heating in schools needs to be implemented as soon as possible.

She didn't want the children to hold pens in the cold weather.

Not to mention having warm classrooms like the schools in Sijiu City, but at least they should have two radiators like those in Yangjiazhuang.

This is also good for teachers.

She was also a teacher, and she couldn't even hold the chalk in the cold weather.

Moreover, this is the first time to run a school. People in some places have no experience at all and think that they will be fine just by sending their children to school.

In fact, there are many things going on here.

Coal needs to be solved in the village.

Cuiping has already negotiated with each village on this matter. At the same time, the superiors will make some arrangements, and Yangjiazhuang will also share some, so there should be no problem this winter.

But next year, the local government will need to raise its own funds.

After riding to the courtyard, Ran Qiuye went home first to have a look.

After all, Yang Xiaotao has been away for more than a week, and she has been in the country for more than a week. Not only is she homesick, but she is also homesick for her three children!
After finishing things, go to Ran's house to see the children.

Ran Qiuye entered the courtyard thinking about it, and then she was surrounded by the third aunt Liu Yuhua and others, chattering, which made Ran Qiuye confused for a while.

Finally knowing what was going on, Ran Qiuye smiled modestly and dealt with it.

In the middle courtyard, Shazhu looked at Ran Qiuye coming out, curled his lips, and went out with a kitchen knife to make noodles for the banquet.

In the past two days, the courtyard has been abuzz. Last time, after the third aunt's publicity, the news that Yang Xiaotao was going to be promoted was widely spread inside and outside the courtyard.

Especially Yan Fugui, after listening to the third aunt's explanation, he was even sure that Yang Xiaotao was going to become a successful person!
And that's not the main thing. After all, many people couldn't believe it just from the words of a few fathers, daughters, and old ladies.

But then, Director Wang from the sub-district office came in person and asked about the situation, which made everyone feel that this was true.

Yang Xiaotao is only a few years old now, and he has already reached the second-in-command position in the machinery factory. People in the courtyard said that Yang Xiaotao's rank is better than the local first-in-command position in some places.

Even in Forty-Nine City, they are an outstanding group.

If such a person continues to rise, he will reach heaven.

Everyone in the courtyard thought it was a good thing and waited for the good news to come one by one.

But in Silly Zhu's eyes, it was just a bolt from the blue.

Similarly, several people felt even more uncomfortable.

Now, it is no longer regret, but an inexplicable fear.

Maybe if Yang Xiaotao showed some opinions, someone would rush to kill him.

Shazhu's work in the past two years was not in vain. During his time in the coal factory, he also heard many people talk about the outside world. This was much more than what he knew in the water hole in the courtyard.

Therefore, there are some things that you cannot live with yourself.

When it's time to shrink back and be a turtle, it's time to shrink back. When it's time to stop invading the river, you can't rush forward in one go.

His fool has also grown up.

He is no longer the stupid young man he used to be, and he is no longer stingy.

In the yard to the side, Qin Huairu quietly lowered his head as he watched Ran Qiuye deal with the sounds around him, with a confident and satisfied face, carrying a basin to wash clothes.

If her man had this ability, she would be prouder than Ran Qiuye.

Looking at Ran Qiuye, I felt sour in my heart.

If there had been no Jia family back then, everything she had now belonged to her!
pity…

However, now she has looked away and is satisfied.

Looking at it from another angle, Yang Xiaotao is the only one in this courtyard.

Without him, Yang Xiaotao, the taller one among the remaining dwarfs would be Si Zhu!

Since joining Sha Zhu, life has been much better than when he was at Jia's house.

Even if Jia Dongxu was still alive for a few years, it would be better to follow Silly Zhu.

The only thing that made her feel uncomfortable was that her stomach seemed to be closed. Why wasn't it working?

In the past, she didn't care when Silly Zhu couldn't do it. She always felt that she could do it.

But now that Silly Zhu is alive, she can give it a try every once in a while, but her stomach doesn't live up to expectations.

Really, he dropped the chain at the critical moment!
He glanced at Ran Qiuye in the crowd. Although he felt sad, he also looked away. He had to go on with his life.

Turn on the faucet and wash clothes as before, but different from before.
