Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 1992 Have a quick meal
After getting off the bus, Yang Xiaotao stood outside the alley, staring at the people passing by in a daze.

Most of the people coming and going were walking, a few were riding bicycles, and a tricycle was passing by quickly not far away.

The rumbling sound faded away, and Yang Xiaotao's eyes fixed.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came into my mind.

Credits come too slowly through reading.

We still need to draw up the drawings.

In comparison, even if the system gives the lowest evaluation, if you pass, you will still get 300 credits.

If it's better, thousands are common.

This is much faster than reading.

Therefore, if you want credits now, you can only work hard on the design.

Then Yang Xiaotao thought of the tricycle made by this machinery factory.

At the beginning, from single-cylinder diesel engines to two-cylinder ones, and finally four-cylinder, six-cylinder, eight-cylinder, etc., although some of them were not made, he earned a lot of credits from the system with these designs.

By the way, there are diesel engines with the corresponding number of cylinders at the back.

Now, these drawings are in their own system space.

Thinking of this, it was not that he wanted to continue designing. In fact, after reaching twelve cylinders, the rewards given by the system became less. It would not be worth it to spend energy on this.

"Then there are only machine tools left for now."

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath. Although the Second Workshop of the Machinery Factory had always wanted to improve the Morningstar machine tool, there had been no effect.

Yang Xiaotao also went to see it. The team led by Chang Mingjie is very hard-working and focused.

However, Morningstar Machine Tools itself is derived from semi-automatic advanced machine tools, and has achieved the best in the field of semi-automatic machine tools.

The only way to improve it is to increase accuracy and strength.

However, improving precision is not as simple as changing the material or the cutter head.

Every upgrade of a machine tool is a major operation.

It requires improvement in all aspects.

This improvement also needs to take into account the overall aspect, that is, it cannot fall short of the requirements, nor can it be overly prominent, otherwise it will only result in half the effort with twice the results.

This kind of change cannot be accomplished overnight, and requires the meticulous work of professionals and a little bit of luck.

But they just lacked luck and never succeeded.

It just so happened that Yang Xiaotao had always focused on aircraft engines and had not paid much attention to the research of machine tools.

In addition, there is also consideration of the current domestic industry situation.

Even if a machine tool is made so well, it may not be usable.

But now, Yang Xiaotao feels that even if he can't make it, it won't stop him from designing it.

These are all credits.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao had his next action goal.

One is to finish the aircraft engine.

No matter what the final result is, no matter whether it is useful or not, just make this thing first.

Moreover, Yang Xiaotao also felt that Zhang Guanyu's design drawing was promising. It was not that his design drawing was good, but that his design ideas were good.

In the future, he could try to design several more types of turbojet engines, just like he did with diesel engines.

Even if you don't use it, it's still worth it for credits.

Another is to design new machine tools.

This is also what the machinery factory needs to do now.

With a plan in mind, Yang Xiaotao turned and walked towards the courtyard.

He has walked through this alley many times, but every time he walks in and looks at the open door of the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao feels inexplicably excited.

Maybe this is the reason for home.

Machinery Factory, Yang Xiaotao’s office.

Zhang Guanyu knocked on the door and walked in. He looked at Lou Xiaoe who was still sorting documents and said with a smile, "Secretary Lou, you are still busy after get off work."

Lou Xiao'e hummed, then complained, "Who made me have such an unreliable leader?"

Zhang Guanyu smiled, but he didn't dare to make up stories about Yang Xiaotao.

As for Lou Xiao'e in front of him, she is different. She is a woman, and she has a good relationship with General Manager Yang.

"Director Zhang, what's the matter with you so late at night?"

Lou Xiao'e put down her pen and looked at Zhang Guanyu who came in.

"Well, I left a blueprint here during the day. It's about a turbojet engine. I'll come over to take it back and make some changes."

Lou Xiao'e suddenly realized, "Oh, so the drawings on the table are yours. I thought they belonged to Mr. Yang and he put them away."

"Wait, I'll find it for you."

As she spoke, Lou Xiao'e stood up and walked to the cook, then took out the key, opened it, and took out a drawing from inside.

Zhang Guanyu took it, opened it, took a look, and then smiled and said, "Yes, this is it."

"I heard that there will be better materials, so I thought about going back to revise it and let Mr. Yang take another look."

Lou Xiao'e immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Director Zhang, you are amazing. I have been in the machinery factory for so many years, and you are the first person besides General Manager Yang who is so diligent in designing drawings."

Zhang Guanyu waved his hands quickly, "No, no, I dare not compete with Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang..."

Speaking of Yang Xiaotao, Zhang Guanyu actually didn't know how to praise him. It seemed that no matter how much he said, he couldn't express his inner feelings.

Especially, I heard that Mr. Yang has also developed the ability to discover materials by identifying the color of alloys.

This this.
After hearing about this, the people in their R&D department specially took several alloys for comparison.

As a result, the result given by everyone is this.

Mr. Yang, the strong ones are not human beings.

How dare he compete with such a person?

"You're not bad either. Once you've designed the blueprint, you can give your name to the things you make in the future."

Lou Xiao'e joked on the side, Zhang Guanyu smiled modestly, then looked at the time and turned away.

After Zhang Guanyu left, Lou Xiaoe looked at the materials on the table and shook her head helplessly, "There is endless work to be done!"

"Forget it. I'm done with this."

As Qin Lao's words came to mind, Lou Xiao'e felt warm in her heart, "This guy does have some conscience."

Thinking that Liu Lixue had something to do today, Lou Xiao'e decided to go to the courtyard to see her godson and have a meal.

Siheyuan.

Yang Xiaotao greeted people along the way. After passing the hanging flower gate, he saw Miaomiao leading Duanwu Xiaoyu running in the yard. A group of children were playing the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken", with their clothes pulled straight. In the yard, two little girls were digging soil with small wooden shovels, constantly filling the pockets of their tricycles, and then one of them rode to the big locust tree, fell down, and then went back.

Wangcai and Heinu were standing at the two ends, wagging their tails in boredom.

Yang Xiaotao thought of Wangwang, wondering when Yu Zecheng would be sent back.

After walking into the yard, Xiaowei greeted everyone and knew there were guests in the house, so she pushed the door and walked in.

Then I saw Ran Qiuye sitting at the table, talking to someone.

That person, looking from behind, looks so familiar.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Ran Qiuye stood up, and then the man also stood up and turned around to reveal a familiar face.

Tang Mingyue.

After seeing this, Yang Xiaotao felt a little embarrassed, after all, something had happened between them.

Moreover, Ran Qiuye also knew about this.

If this happened forty or fifty years later, it wouldn't be a big deal.

At that time, everyone was very receptive.

But now
Anyway, Yang Xiaotao felt inexplicably guilty when he saw the two of them together.

Tang Mingyue was wearing a black casual suit and stood there with a calm expression.

It's just that there's an indescribable maturity in this indifferent temperament.

Just like Ran Qiuye.

Yang Xiaotao didn't dare to look at him any more. He came up to him and said calmly, "Secretary Tang, long time no see."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Tang Mingyue spoke generously, just like when they met before.

But deep down in her heart, there were still some unspeakable emotions.

When the leader asked her to inform Yang Xiaotao, she agreed without thinking much about it.

But after arriving at the courtyard, entering the door and seeing Ran Qiuye, he hesitated again.

Fortunately, Yang Xiaotao was not at home.

The two started chatting in the room.

Speaking of which, the two have met several times during this period, especially at the eldest sister's house. Ran Qiuye also sent a lot of clothes and met Xingxing. The two of them get along well.

But when I came to this courtyard, I still felt a little uncomfortable.

However, Tang Mingyue had seen a lot of the world, so she hid what she was thinking on her face, looking calm and composed.

This allowed Yang Xiaotao to put his messy thoughts aside.

The three of them sat down again. Ran Qiuye noticed that the two of them were talking unnaturally, so she explained, "Sister Tang came here this time to tell you something. She wants you to attend a dinner party."

"Dinner party?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't pay attention to Ran Qiuye's address, but was concerned about the dinner.

Tang Mingyue sat aside and nodded slightly.

"This time the chief is inviting a few people to his home for a simple meal. I was sent by my eldest sister to invite you."

"A quick meal?"

Yang Xiaotao was a little suspicious, "Who else?"

Tang Mingyue smiled and said, "There are probably seven or eight more people."

"There is an iron man"

When Tang Mingyue mentioned a few names, Yang Xiaotao's eyes widened immediately. Ran Qiuye, who was standing next to him, had already received the news and was not that shocked. However, the fact that Yang Xiaotao could sit with these people was also a symbol of status.

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.

These people may not hold such high official positions, but on the other hand, each of them has a unique side.

Like Iron Man.

That was the spirit of the times.

There is also Brother Yuan, who is here this time. There is no need to say much about his achievements.

and also
Yang Xiaotao felt that this simple meal, whether for the host or the guests, was of higher standard than the one at noon.

"Can I go?"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly felt a little unconfident.

The others are people who have made 'outstanding contributions'.

But he still knows his own weight.

Ran Qiuye rolled his eyes after hearing this, and Tang Mingyue felt helpless seeing him like this.

Just thinking about the other person's age, I couldn't help but smile.

He smiled and said, "The chief asked you to go, which means you are qualified."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, and then said, "We have to bring something with us when we go to dinner. We can't go empty-handed."

"What should I bring?"

Then Yang Xiaotao became distressed.

If you bring something too expensive, people will think you are frivolous, and the leader is not someone who likes material things.

If you bring something too casual, people will inevitably accuse you of being disrespectful to the host.

It's a bit difficult.

"What do you think we should take with us?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the two of them, especially Tang Mingyue, who was a popular figure nearby and must have noticed them.

Hearing this, both women smiled bitterly.

This person's thinking is indeed different.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao looking at her, Tang Mingyue lowered her head, picked up the water cup and took a sip, then shook her head, "The chief doesn't like people giving him gifts."

"If you want to show off, go early and help with the cooking."

Yang Xiaotao's eyes lit up, "That's easy to say, OK, when? Oh, tomorrow night, right? I'll go there in the afternoon."

"By the way, Qiuye, come with me tomorrow afternoon and help me."

As he said this, he winked at Ran Qiuye. Ran Qiuye opened her mouth and looked at Tang Mingyue.

Hearing Yang Xiaotao say this, Tang Mingyue did not refuse, but nodded and said, "There are so many people here, and my elder sister is too busy, so you can go and help."

But in his heart he was thinking that it was good to have Ran Qiuye around so that they wouldn't be embarrassed.

"Okay, I'll send the child to my mother tomorrow."
