Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1801 I don’t know how to count

Because it is made of stone.

Several people at the table looked puzzled, even Ran Qiuye and Lou Xiaoe were curious, what did this have to do with stones?

But a stone monkey is just a stone, so there is nothing wrong with saying it that way.

Yang Xiaotao continued, "This furnace is just like the steelmaking furnace in our factory. Do you know what the temperature of the furnace is?"

A group of people shook their heads, and Lou Xiao'e immediately said, "More than 1,300 degrees."

She understood this.

"What is the melting point of the stone?"

Lou Xiao'e lowered his head. He didn't know much.

"Stone, this thing needs 1,600 degrees to melt."

"You said that a furnace at 1,300 degrees can burn a stone at 1,600 degrees."

Ran Xinrui opened her mouth wide, as if a new world had opened up.

"So this is ah."

Lou Xiao'e poked the bowl and suddenly realized something.

This was also the first time Ran Qiuye heard this version, but it really sounded reasonable.

"Then, brother-in-law, how should we burn Sun Wukong to death?"

Ran Hongbing finally acted as a qualified supporting actor for a while.

"We at the steel mill have a solution for this."

"any solution?"

"Oxygen, by increasing the temperature through liquid oxygen, can be raised to over 1,700 degrees, which can burn Sun Wukong to death."

Ran Xinrui's eyes lit up after hearing this. "This is a catalyst, right? I learned about it in junior high school chemistry."

Yang Xiaotao nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, it is the catalyst."

"So, the reason why I couldn't burn Sun Wukong to death is not because he is not capable enough, but because I don't study and don't know how to count."

Ran Qiuye and Lou Xiaoe looked at each other and immediately understood what Yang Xiaotao meant.

After Ran Xinrui came to the conclusion that "I don't know numbers", she suddenly felt that she really needed to learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well.

"So Xinrui, don't think about learning design or drawing now."

"Your first task now is to lay a solid foundation. Only when you understand more and learn more knowledge can you be of greater help."

"Like my brother-in-law, he also studied in high school and went to school."

"It's not good if the seats are empty. I can't even understand the design drawings, let alone the drawings."

"Brother-in-law said this, you understand."

Ran Xinrui nodded vigorously, "I understand. I want to get into high school, study hard, and then learn design after I have mastered it."

Well, I’ve been obsessed with design in this life.

I just don’t know whether my father-in-law will let you learn it.

But there is still a long time. When she really reaches that stage, studying design may be a way out.

After everyone finished their meal, Lou Xiao'e asked to leave, saying that she had an appointment to see a movie in the evening.

Yang Xiaotao guessed that he went to see a movie with Liu Lixue again.

This pair of sisters are more amazing than the other.

There were people who had taken the initiative to contact her before, but as one after another failed, the single men in the machinery factory kept their distance.

The word has spread throughout the machinery factory now that these two people have very high standards and are looked down upon by ordinary people, and they don't seem to be in a hurry at all.

The two of them have this attitude towards life, and they live a very carefree life.

It’s free and unrestrained. If you want to watch a movie, you can make an appointment together. If you want to eat something, you have money anyway.

You don’t have to worry about getting married and having children, you don’t have to worry about your children going to school, you don’t have to worry about your children getting married in the future.

Live a stress-free life and make people envy you.

Of course, there are definitely people who cannot stand this behavior that holds back the country's fertility rate, especially men. What's a big deal if a good girl doesn't get married or have children?

Especially since both of them are good-looking, isn't this a waste of resources?

But some people think this is a good thing, especially female compatriots, who think that this is a manifestation of women's pursuit of independence, freedom, and equality.

It is also said that many young girls in the machinery factories have been affected, causing a lot of trouble for the matchmakers in the street office.

Yang Xiaotao didn't want to say much about this. As long as the job was done well, everything else was fine.

So what if I don’t get married in this life? What does it have to do with him?

Ran's mother and her children led the people in the yard to watch TV in the living room, while Yang Xiaotao hid in the study, picked up paper and pen and began to design drawings.

In the afternoon, when I was designing an engine for the automobile factory, I suddenly remembered that I had promised the old dean to help design and produce a shelling machine.

Yang Xiaotao understands the situation in rural areas. There are currently two ways to thresh wheat.

In other words, there are two ways to deal with the shelling operation.

The first one is the rolling method.

The process is complicated. The wheat has to be cut with a guillotine, dried in the sun, and then rolled back and forth on the ground using a stone mill dragged by people and animals. The wind is then used to sharpen the wheat grains.

This method requires several consecutive days to complete, but it is also the most common and most commonly used method in rural areas.

The second method is the extrusion method.

This method relies on a machine, which the villagers call a wheat-throwing machine, which is powered by a diesel engine.

This machine varies in size and is basically rectangular in shape. It is made of iron rods and wood inside and is rotated by an electric motor. A person stands by holding dried wheat and putting the wheat heads in. The machine squeezes inside to squeeze out the wheat grains.

Both methods have their own advantages, but neither is what Yang Xiaotao had in mind.

So, what he wanted to design was the shelling machine he had seen as a child.

After working until midnight, I finally had a general outline and figured out the specific working principles. The next step was to fix the bug in the card system.

Yang Xiaotao took a shower and returned to the bedroom. Ran Qiuye had already fallen asleep.

The busyness during the day, coupled with the worry of taking care of the children, made her go to bed early in the morning.

However, when Yang Xiaotao came over, she still heard the noise and sat up from the bed.

Yang Xiaotao walked up to him and hugged him in his arms, ready to do something bad, but was rejected by Ran Qiuye, which prevented Yang Xiaotao from succeeding.

The main reason is that she feels embarrassed about eating during the Dragon Boat Festival.

I thought the child didn't know, but who knew this little guy had such a sharp hearing.

Yang Xiaotao wasn't the one who had to be together, so the two of them leaned against each other and talked, which was quite peaceful.

"While you were busy, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu went to the street office."

"Street Office? Do you really want a divorce?"

"Well, I heard from the people who went to watch the fun that Sha Zhu was worried that he would be a burden to Qin Huairu and couldn't come back to take care of her, so he went to find Aunt Wang to file a report. I guess they will get divorced tomorrow."

Ran Qiuye sighed. Although she didn't get along with Qin Huairu and the others, few women had the courage to divorce, especially at this moment.

People like Lou Xiao'e are carefree and don't care.

"But this silly Zhu did a good thing, saving himself from being a burden to others."

After Ran Qiuye finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao sighed, "Shazhu? Him? Doing good things, what are you thinking about."

"I guess there must be something fishy going on here. Maybe Shazhu has done something wrong and they have no choice but to divorce."

Ran Qiuye looked surprised, "Can he still find a woman after the divorce?"

"Why not? There is a widow-loving gene in their family. They might have their eyes on a widow in the countryside."

Yang Xiaotao said this with bad intentions, but he hit the mark unexpectedly and actually guessed it right.

"Also, don't feel sorry for Qin Huairu."

"Maybe he's happy in his heart." Ran Qiuye didn't refute after hearing this. She knew that her man was very good at judging people.

"Take your hands off me, not tonight"

"I know, but I can't control my hands."

"Bad guy~"

Yi Zhonghai's family.

Sha Zhu was sitting at the head of the bed, smoking a cigarette, which was a rare occurrence for him. Like Yi Zhonghai, both of them couldn't sleep.

"Uncle, don't worry, even if you divorce Huairu, you are still my uncle."

"I will still take care of you until the end of your life."

The aunt's eyes turned red when she heard this, "Zhu Zi, why can't you control yourself?"

"Huai Ru is such a good daughter-in-law. As for you, I don't know what to say to you."

After hearing this, Sha Zhu lowered his head and said, "I, I also wish I could be separated to avoid getting into trouble."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai snorted coldly.

He really cut off a piece.

"But my life is at stake."

"And we agreed that, once I have nothing to do with that woman, I will find a way to divorce her and remarry Huairu."

"Don't worry, I, He Yuzhu, will do what I say."

Yi Zhonghai sighed in his heart after hearing this.

He understood Sha Zhu's little thoughts. Wasn't it just that he liked this house?
If I really want to take care of them in their old age, it doesn't matter who I give this house to.

Besides, at his age, does he have any other choice?
"Okay, just know it yourself."

Yi Zhonghai picked up the cigarette and lit it again. An old lady beside him frowned, thinking that the father and son smoked a little too much today.

"You are the one who let Huairu down this time. You must make it up to her."

Sha Zhu nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely compensate her, just like my father, I will give her some money every month when I make money."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai was choked by the smoke and started coughing continuously.

Qin family.

Qin Huairu sat on the chair, thinking about what to do in the future.

She is in her thirties, a widow, married for the second time, and has two daughters.

What kind of thing can I find here?

He looked down at his capital, then looked again in the mirror.

Time makes people grow old. Compared with Ran Qiuye, she is older after all.

"I can give birth, raise children and manage the household. I don't have to worry about no one wanting me."

Talk to yourself in the mirror, full of confidence.

the next day.

Yang Xiaotao sent the child to the nursery, and Ran Qiuye took Miaomiao back to school.

When the family went out, they saw Sha Zhu walking out in tattered clothes with his head down.

Qin Huairu behind him was dressed neatly, and she had two pigtails on her head, which swayed as she walked, making her particularly conspicuous.

Just a little bit, pretending to be young.

Yang Xiaotao looked back at Ran Qiuye, who also saw Qin Huairu's outfit. When she saw Yang Xiaotao looking at her, she shook her head and said, "I don't want it."

Cough
"I didn't say that."

"I don't know you yet?"

Ran Qiuye drove the cart, Miaomiao sat on the beam, laughing.

"Little girl, what are you laughing at?"

"Dad, you're staring at that aunt."

Cough
"Dad sees people pretending to be young, but unlike your mom, she is really young."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Go away."

Ran Qiuye snorted coldly and drove away.

Yang Xiaotao led the three Duanwu brothers out and into the car.

The Taoist priest was sitting in the passenger seat, yawning.

"Old Taoist priest, be careful at night. Don't let yourself fall into a deep sleep. What will the comrades think of you?"

"What do you think? I didn't do anything."

"That's right, you can't do it alone, so how about finding a companion for you?"

"Go away, you devil, you are disturbing my spiritual mind!"

"cut!"

The car left, dropped the child off, and then sent the Taoist priest to the bus to the steel plant, and then drove back to the machinery plant.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Liu Lixue's voice on the radio.

I thought it was the daily song time or the radio time.

But I didn't expect to hear Liu Lixue popularizing scientific knowledge this time.

Yang Xiaotao listened to two sentences and then shook his head in silence.

Isn't what this guy said exactly what I said to Ran Xinrui?

Especially the last sentence, "I don't know how to count", made many people laugh.

No need to guess, it must have been Lou Xiao'e who told her.

This traitor.

Going upstairs, before Yang Xiaotao entered the office, he saw Li Jun, the director of the Propaganda Department, coming out of the factory director's office with a smile on his face. When he saw Yang Xiaotao, he immediately stepped forward.

"Mr. Yang, you are so versatile and knowledgeable."

"This is the first time I've seen this kind of popular science."

"You don't know that Director Yang is planning to launch a program like this, with a fixed time every week to promote it. It can not only improve the workers' cultural level, but also enrich their activities. It's a win-win situation."

"You will need more ideas from now on to make this column a success."

"By the way, Mr. Yang, what do you think we should name this program? Please help me think of a name for it."

Before Yang Xiaotao could say anything, Director Li started talking non-stop, not giving Yang Xiaotao any chance to interrupt.

However, when Yang Youning found out about this, Yang Xiaotao understood this guy's intention.

Publicity is about letting people know.

But coming up with ideas, well, that depends on whether you have the time.

I'm too busy to come up with so many ideas.

"Let Lao Yang come up with the name of this program himself."

"He's a naming madman, don't make yourself uncomfortable."

Yang Xiaotao reminded with a smile, and then walked towards the office.

Director Li was stunned, then his legs began to tremble. How could he have forgotten about this?

No wonder the factory manager didn’t even raise his head when I asked him to go back and think of a name for the column.

It turns out to be this.

Director Li almost slapped his thigh and hurriedly shouted to Yang Xiaotao's back, "Boss Yang, thank you."

After saying that, he ran to the factory director's office. He had to restore his bad impression.
