Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1961 You are the only one who has free time
"My two leaders, this is where I live."

Father Ran led a few people to the gate of the slum and greeted the neighbors.

Old Qian looked around with a familiar look on his face.

"Compared to the last time I came here, there's more of a sense of life here."

"Old Qian, have you been here?"

Mr. Wang said curiously, and Mr. Qian nodded, "Yes, Comrade Lao Ran had just come over at that time, and I came to have dinner."

"Okay, so you two have been connected for a long time."

Mr. Wang pretended to be unhappy and asked, "Who are they?"

Old Qian smiled, and Father Ran said, "At that time, several of us came from the northwest and had a meal at home."

"We used to have Old Li from the Seventh Machine Department, Li Chengjun, as well as Wang Zaijin from the Fourth Machine Department, and Old Zheng from the Third Machine Department."

Wang Lao counted them and said, "Yes, they are all elites. Why didn't you call me?"

Mr. Qian glanced at it and said, "I brought Fenjiu with me."

Mr. Wang stopped talking.

"Well, I was running around."

"By the way, I also went to the machinery factory to get money from that guy, haha"

When Mr. Wang thought of the "good memories" at that time, he also became happy.

After coming to his senses, he saw that everyone was looking at him, so he quickly put away his smile and looked around in a casual manner, "Well, this place is not bad."

"I just like walking around among people. After get off work, I can feel less irritable."

"Cough cough."

"Of course, it's nice to read a book in the dead of night."

"Ha ha"

After hearing this, Mr. Ran and Mr. Qian turned to look to the side. This gentleman must have some misunderstanding about studying.

But before the three of them entered the compound, they saw another car approaching not far away.

This kind of car is rare in normal times, so Mr. Ran and the other two stood aside and waited.

When the car stopped, I saw a middle-aged man getting out of the passenger seat, followed by a fat old man, and finally an old man with silver hair.

When Mr. Wang saw the person coming, he immediately smiled and said, "Old Tao, you were out for a walk and walked here."

Old Wang smiled, and Old Qian also saw the old dean and went forward to greet him.

When Mr. Tao saw that it was Mr. Wang, he immediately extended his hand in disdain, "How come I met someone as shameless as you here? When did you return the wine you took from me last time?"

"Hey, Lao Taozi, there's no way you can return the wine you drank."

Mr. Wang said indifferently, "You can't let me."

"Shut up!"

"Hahaha!!!"

Several people met each other, and finally Old Tao looked at Ran's father, stepped forward and stretched out his hand, and Ran's father quickly shook it with both hands.

"Comrade Ran Zhiqiang, hello, hello."

"Hello, Chief!"

Father Ran didn't understand what was going on and could only be polite.

The old dean at the side said with a smile, "We went to the courtyard, but couldn't find the person, so we asked around and came here."

As soon as Mr. Ran heard it, he knew that this was someone looking for Yang Xiaotao.

This kind of thing has happened so many times on this journey that I'm used to it.

"Xiao Tao should be in the yard. I'll call him out right away."

"Hey! Lao Ran, why are you yelling? It's a good opportunity for us to go in and have dinner together."

"What are you waiting for?"

Old Wang called Ran's father and winked at him, then looked at Old Tao, "Come and have dinner, and bring gifts."

As he said this, he glanced at the box in the driver's arms.

Tao Lao rolled his eyes, "You think everyone is like you, wagging their fingers."

"This wine must belong to Lao Qian."

"If it were you, you would have drunk it all long ago."

"Haha, the one who knows me best is Lao Tao!"

"Fuck you~"

Then a group of people, led by Ran's father, walked into the slum.

Yang Xiaotao was watching Duanwu arguing with a kid in the yard. The two boys, who were about the same age and full of energy, were pushing each other forward with all their might.

A group of children were surrounding and shouting "Come on!"

In the eyes of these children, there is no Mr. Yang’s son, no director’s son.

In this yard, anyone who comes to play is a good friend.

A very pure friend.

The little boy's grandfather was grinning with his toothless mouth. Seeing the lively child, he kept expressing his feelings to Yang Xiaotao, saying that the children were now well fed.

In the past, the little boy would eat up his father's money, and if there were two sons in a family, life would be tight.

Yang Xiaotao nodded. Although he had never been hungry during the Dragon Boat Festival, even among the children in the yard, there were very few people who 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 as if it is happening right before my eyes.

A few people were chatting, with laughter and rebuttals coming from time to time.

"Duanwu, push forward with your right foot, push hard, oh, don't step back."

"Harder!"

"Ouch~~"

Ran Hongbing, who was playing, was giving advice to Duanwu when he suddenly felt a pain in his head, as if hit by something. He quickly covered his head and turned around, just in time to see the serious expression of Ran's father.

"Dad, Dad~~"

He shouted twice and ran into the house.

"Mom, sister, Dad is back~~~"

When Yang Xiaotao heard the noise, he quickly stood up from the steps, looked up, and his eyes narrowed.

There are quite a lot of people coming here.

Without thinking too much, I ran forward to greet him.

"dad!"

"Captain Wang."

"Hello, Chief Tao."

"Uncle Qian!"

"Old Dean."

"Lao Gao."

Yang Xiaotao ran up and started greeting him.

From beginning to end, he called out one by one.

Several people smiled and nodded. When they entered the yard just now, they saw Yang Xiaotao sitting there chatting with an old man. It was rare to see someone so down-to-earth.

"Xiao Yang, there's something wrong with your address."

When everyone was about to enter the house, Wang Lao suddenly felt something was wrong, and waved his finger at Yang Xiaotao, saying, "You call me and Lao Tao both leaders, but it's not right to call me Lao Qian."

"Old Qian, when did I become your uncle?"

After saying this, Mr. Wang looked at Yang Xiaotao.

"Ouch, it's my fault. I called you the wrong person, junior."

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Tao, please come in quickly. Please come in."

Yang Xiaotao immediately changed the address, and Mr. Wang laughed, "That's right."

Tao Lao also smiled and said, "Don't listen to this guy's nonsense." "No, Uncle Wang is right."

Yang Xiaotao looked serious, asking Mr. Tao if he didn't mind, and then followed Ran's father into the house.

When Ran's mother came out and saw Ran's father, she glanced at him first, then hurriedly invited the guests into the house.

Several people sat down, and Ran Qiuye also helped to serve tea and water.

Ran Xinrui even handed tea to Mr. Wang.

When Ran Xinrui was bullied at school, it was Old Wang who brought people there. She has always kept it in mind.

Mr. Qian also knew about Ran Xinrui's situation. He then looked at the award certificate on the wall and couldn't help but ask, "Xinrui, how is your study? What's your ranking in the class?"

Ran Xinrui looked at Ran's father, then subconsciously looked at Yang Xiaotao.

Seeing her brother-in-law nodded to her, she whispered, "First in the class."

"First, sure. Is this a junior high school?"

Mr. Wang asked.

Father Ran smiled and said, "He is in the third year of junior high school this year, and will go to high school during the Chinese New Year."

"Okay, in the department?"

Mr. Qian asked again.

Ran Xinrui was confident this time, "It's also the first."

"Well, this is a case of a tiger father and a dog daughter."

Old Wang was happy again, and then looked at Ran Hongbing who ran in, "Old Ran, your son is also doing well in school, right?"

Father Ran was happy, but then the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He turned around and looked at Ran Hongbing who was carrying Duanwu on his back, "This is not bad."

"Old Ran is just humble."

Ran's father smiled. Yang Xiaotao hurried forward to pour water for Mr. Wang and told Ran Hongbing, the tactless guy, to go away quickly.

If you don't leave now, you will have to have fried bamboo shoots with pork tonight.

"What does Xinrui want to do in the future?"

Mr. Qian focused his attention on Ran Xinrui. After asking her a few questions, he found that the girl had a very solid foundation and became interested.

"me"

Ran Xinrui looked at Ran's father, and finally at Yang Xiaotao, and then she 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, I don't know how, I was led astray by Yang Xiaotao.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Yang Xiaotao.

Yang Xiaotao was also helpless. He thought that he was a capable worker, but not suitable for you.

"Xinrui, if you want to be a great worker, you need to be more than just your brother-in-law."

But 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, Wu Gang, and the little rabbit."

"Have you seen it?"

"No, I heard it from my brother-in-law."

Father Ran looked back again and asked, what is this teaching?

Yang Xiaotao said he was innocent.

I was just trying to appease the kids.

"Then you want to know?"

"Ok!"

"Then we have to go up and take a look, right?"

"Ok!"

"But how do we get up there?"

Ran Xinrui shook her head, "I don't know."

Mr. Qian smiled and said, "This is what your father is doing now. One day in the future, the rocket your father makes will be able to send people to the moon."

Ran Xinrui widened her eyes and looked back at Ran's father, her eyes full of desire.

Father Ran nodded and smiled kindly.

Yang Xiaotao saw it clearly from behind. At this moment, Ran Xinrui completely followed the old path of Comrade Ran.

"I want to fly to the moon and see if there are any little rabbits."

Hearing Ran Xinrui's words, everyone around smiled kindly.

Afterwards, Ran Xinrui ran out to play. From a distance, Yang Xiaotao could still hear Ran Hongbing arguing about something like a big kite.

"Xiao Tao, Lao Tao and I came here to talk to you about something."

The old dean picked up the water cup and took a sip. Seeing that everyone was chatting, he explained his purpose.

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 has reported the situation to us and said he has given you the information."

"We are here to confirm again so that we can report the good news to our superiors."

Yang Xiaotao immediately felt embarrassed when he heard this.

On his way back, he actually forgot about this matter.

I was originally planning to call the dean when I go to work tomorrow, but I didn't expect him to come to me directly.

"Well, Uncle Tao, old dean, I thought today was a holiday, so I didn't bother you two."

"I'll 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 now."

"We revolutionary workers must have a spirit of dedication and a spirit of putting revolution first."

"Look at your father-in-law. He is very dedicated to his work. The first thing he thinks about when he comes home is work."

"Look at you, you are still leisurely spending the holiday here. You need to learn from your father-in-law about your awareness."

Yang Xiaotao nodded quickly, "Yes, Uncle Wang is right. My awareness is indeed a little insufficient. I will actively improve and learn from my father-in-law in the future."

Then he immediately got down to business, "Uncle Tao, old dean, after I went to Chaoyang, I saw the hybrid rice harvesting process there with my own eyes."

"The yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu is real data. There is no falsification or 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 came from the south and knew a little about rice cultivation. Being able to produce 1,000 kilograms per mu was absolutely remarkable.

"Xiao Yang, such important news should have been told earlier."

Old Qian said this, and Ran's father nodded beside him.

"Well, I'm just too busy and forgot a little."

Yang Xiaotao said this embarrassedly and apologized to Director Gao and the other two.

Gao Yufeng smiled and said, "Please sit down first. I'll go make a phone call."

Yang Xiaotao embarrassedly saw Gao Yufeng out the door, but before he left, he saw Liu Huaimin running towards him in a hurry.

When he saw Yang Xiaotao, he shouted, "You guy, we are all busy as hell, but you have nothing to do. Give yourself a holiday."

The people in the house heard the noise and came out to see what was happening.

When Yang Xiaotao heard what Liu Huaimin said, he smiled bitterly and said, "Old Liu, stop talking. I have realized my mistake."

"I shouldn't rest during this Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Oh~~~"
