Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2001: The Spirit of the Three Studies

Outside the hospital.

Ran Qiuye was riding a bicycle, and Tang Mingyue beside him was reminding him to be careful.

Ran Qiuye was concerned about Xingxing and asked her to go back quickly to look after the children.

On the other side, cars were waiting on the roadside.

Grandma Lin had already gotten into the car and left, and the remaining few people were also saying goodbye.

"Brother Yuan, you can just stay at my place tonight. There are many rooms at home, so we can go together tomorrow morning."

Yang Xiaotao held Teacher Yuan's hand and said, but Teacher Yuan shook his head and said, "No, it's too late. I won't bother you."

"Brother Xiao Yang, I don't deserve to be called your elder brother as you just said at the dinner table."

Teacher Yuan said sincerely, but Yang Xiaotao waved his hand and said, "Brother Yuan, I believe that you can do better than me in the future."

"Don't be so quick to refute."

"Because only in this way can people have two bowls of rice on their tables and not go hungry."

“This is inevitable and can definitely be done.”

"trust yourself!"

Teacher Yuan originally wanted to say a few more words, but after hearing what Yang Xiaotao said, it would be awkward for him to continue being pretentious.

"Okay, let's work together."

Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Then I will benefit from it."

The two of them laughed, and then Yang Xiaotao watched them get into the car and leave.

After the car drove out, Yang Xiaotao walked to Ran Qiuye, took the bicycle, and waved to Tang Mingyue, "Go to bed early."

"By the way, remind the chief to go to the machinery factory tomorrow."

Tang Mingyue smiled and shook her head, "The commander has a good memory and doesn't need anyone to remind him."

"That's good, let's go."

"Wife, get in the car!"

Ran Qiuye waved to Tang Mingyue, then sat on the back seat. Yang Xiaotao pedaled hard and the bicycle left the yard.

After the people turned the corner and disappeared, Tang Mingyue returned to the yard.

When I walked into the room, I heard the eldest sister and the old man talking about Yang Xiaotao.

"This kid can talk to anyone. The key is that he knows a little bit about everything and can talk about everything."

"Everyone is willing to make friends with him. Anyone can become his friend. This is his charm."

The old man sat on the bed with his feet soaking in the basin.

The eldest sister picked up a foot towel and handed it over. "Yes, except for Sister Lin, there are workers, farmers, soldiers, teachers, and experts here, but all of them can talk to him."

"Even those teachers who consider themselves intellectuals are willing to humble themselves and make friends with them."

“This is, I have to say, a very strange thing.”

The old man took out his feet and wiped them with a foot towel while saying, "This shows that he has real skills."

"Otherwise, will those people be able to obey him?"

"Also, I noticed that before he came, these people seemed very reserved, and even their communication was superficial, as if they were somehow out of place."

"But after he came, the atmosphere on the scene immediately became lively, and everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized."

"It's like a lubricant that ties everyone together and twists them into a whole."

The old man was very excited, "This is his most important ability."

"People like this are needed everywhere."

The old man said this and prepared to rest.

The eldest sister poured out the water and turned around to say, "So that's why you agreed to go tomorrow. I remember you had a meeting."

"No, just let the people below go."

"But, having said that, Comrade Tieren and Comrade Chen have both gone to the machinery factory. I always feel a little bit excited."

"What are you looking forward to?"

"Ha ha."

"I'm telling you."

As the lights in the house went out, Tang Mingyue turned and walked towards her residence.

However, I was still thinking about the old man's evaluation of Yang Xiaotao. It was hard to imagine that the words spoken by the leader would be used on a young man.

This has never been seen before.

"Wife, are you cold?"

Yang Xiaotao slowed down, and Ran Qiuye hugged Yang Xiaotao tightly, with her body pressed against his back, feeling full of security.

"not cold!"

"Oh."

"By the way, whose child is that today? He's crying so hard. It's really exciting."

Thinking of the crying sound of a child coming from next door while eating, Yang Xiaotao asked curiously.

Ran Qiuye put her cheek against Yang Xiaotao's back. After hearing Yang Xiaotao's question, she hesitated whether to tell the truth.

However, thinking of Tang Mingyue's advice, exposing this matter would only bring trouble, so now is not the time to talk about it.

"I heard that it was Sister Zhang who was helping to look after the child."

"If your parents are not around, just keep them by your side and watch over them."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Yang Xiaotao responded without further investigation.

The bicycles appeared in sections under the street lights and then disappeared into the darkness.

Early the next morning.

Yang Xiaotao didn't even have time to eat and went to the machinery factory early.

However, Liu Huaimin arrived earlier than him.

When he arrived at the office building, Yang Xiaotao knocked directly on Liu Huaimin's door, then opened it and walked in.

Liu Huaimin, who was on the phone, saw Yang Xiaotao come in and looked up at the time. It was 7:30 in the morning.

This guy has changed his personality today and comes so early.

But he heard a voice from the other end of the phone, and hurriedly waved to Yang Xiatao and sat down.

Seeing that Liu Huaimin was on the phone, Yang Xiaotao came over and sat on a chair, thinking about what to say.

But after listening to the conversation on the phone for a while, I knew who it belonged to.

Tony Yang.

It was probably something about the Yanzhou branch. Yang Xiaotao was also curious about the situation there.

After waiting for a while, the call was hung up. Liu Huaimin smiled and said, "Lao Yang called just now. The progress over there is very smooth. All departments are connected smoothly. It will probably not take long to get back on track."

"When did you say you were coming back?"

"I told you, it will be almost done before the New Year. When the time comes, leave Zhan Lei behind and he will bring his men back."

Liu Huaimin said with some relief that now that Yang Youning was back, there was finally someone who could share some of the burden.

As for Yang Xiaotao, he should be thankful that this guy doesn't find work for him.

But it was strange, those things were no problem in his hands, but they were impossible to solve in my hands. Was this the difference in ability?

However, he firmly believes that diligence can make up for lack of talent.

As long as you work harder and more conscientiously, you can be no worse than him.

Unlike this guy who only gets excited after a short period of time, what a waste of talent!

Thinking of this, Liu Huaimin felt his heart filled with determination.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao asked, "How is the production of threshers in Yanzhou? Now is the corn harvest season, we can't miss it."

The first batch of products decided by the Yanzhou branch was corn thresher, which also gave them a way to develop.

As long as you spread your reputation, you can gain a foothold in the Northwest.

Of course, the initial investment of the machinery factory will not be small.

"It is now in normal production. We brought people and machines with us. They can be used once they are installed. It is said that the first batch of 30 threshers have been delivered to farms in the northwest."

Liu Huaimin said this and then talked about the situation of the Yanzhou branch.

Now the initial scale of the Yanzhou branch has been determined. Although it is not as good as the second branch in the northwest, Yang Youning intends to develop it in the direction of the second branch. However, there are no ready-made factories in the local area for him to "acquire", so he can only maintain the current scale and then expand it step by step.

We are now recruiting local workers, who can already take up some of the work after simple training and will gradually become the main force in Yanzhou in the future.
Liu Huaimin spoke for a while, then looked at Yang Xiaotao and asked, "By the way, why did you come so early?"

"This is the first time the sun has risen from the west."

As he spoke, he placed the documents on the table in front of him and prepared to start the day's work.

Yang Xiaotao was just thinking about the affairs of Yanzhou. After hearing what Liu Huaimin said, he remembered the important matters of today.

"Lao Liu, I went to a dinner yesterday. Do you know who was there?"

"You go to eat, what does it have to do with me?"

Liu Huaimin lowered his head and handled documents seriously. He had nothing good to say about this guy Yang Xiaotao. He even came to show off after having a meal.

It’s not like I haven’t eaten it before.

Yang Xiaotao stood up and walked over to Liu Huaimin, "Old Liu, I went to the chief's house last night."

"Chief?"

Liu Huaimin looked up in surprise, "Which leader?"

Yang Xiaotao whispered a name, and the document in Liu Huaimin's hand fell on the table.

Damn, I’ve never eaten there before.

There was more envy in the eyes when looking at Yang Xiaotao.

"It does not matter!"

"Not important? Do you know who that is?"

Liu Huaimin felt that this boy was showing off and trying to make him angry on purpose, and his good mood for the day was instantly gone.

It's morning now.

How are you spending today?

This bastard!

"Hey, listen to me!"

"Do you know who we are having dinner with?"

As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Liu Huaimin immediately glared at him, "You are deliberately trying to irritate me so early in the morning, right?"

"No, just listen to me!"

"you say!"

Liu Huaimin forced himself not to be angry, then picked up the documents on the table. Although he couldn't concentrate on reading them, he didn't want to look at Yang Xiaotao, the smug guy.

"Hey, there are eight of us attending the dinner. I won't mention them all, but there's also Mr. Yuan, the developer of hybrid rice, the Iron Man, Secretary Chen from Dazhai, and Lin..."

With each name Yang Xiaotao mentioned, the information in Liu Huaimin's hand was reduced by one point, and finally he put it directly on the table, his eyes wide open, with a look of surprise.

If Yang Xiaotao sat at the same table with Mr. Huang and the others, at least he had encountered them before and could accept it.

I wouldn’t be too surprised, after all, it’s not the first time!
But now, the status and official positions of these people present may not be as good as those of Mr. Huang, but in terms of influence, they are even more influential than them.

Just ask anyone on the street, and most people who know the name of the boss of the First Ministry of Machine Building will definitely not know who the Iron Man is.

More importantly, there are many people here that he wants to meet!
In front of these people, he was like a fan and a star, admired, supported and respected.

And Yang Xiaotao actually had dinner with so many people he admired, and...

Telling him all this, isn't this going to make him angry?
It’s numb. Liu Huaimin doesn’t want to look at this guy for a moment!
"I told them last night that they would come to visit our machinery factory today, and the chief will also come."

"I think so…"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Liu Huaimin finally came out of his depression and asked with a hint of surprise, "What did you just say?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at him speechlessly. He thought he had said too much just now. Should he say it again?
"You said they are coming to our machinery factory?"

"You heard it all!"

Snapped!
Liu Huaimin slapped the table and said, "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath and tried to remain restrained.

"I've been saying that all along!"

"Don't interrupt, tell me quickly, who's coming?"

"I feel like you didn't understand."

"You said it or not!"

"Say, say."

Yang Xiaotao quickly repeated the name.

As a result, Liu Huaimin only listened to the first two, Iron Man and Secretary Chen, and immediately jumped up from his seat, then stared at Yang Xiaotao and said seriously, "Is it the Iron Man who learned from Daqing in industry?"

"Yes, that one."

"Secretary of the Agricultural Learning from Dazhai Movement?"

"Yes, that one."

"you you"

Liu Huaimin took a deep breath and exhaled deeply before he calmed down. Then he looked at Yang Xiaotao and murmured something.

“Agriculture should learn from Dazhai, industry should learn from Daqing, and innovation should learn from Hongxing.”

"This, this is 'Three Studies'."

"The spirit of the Three Studies! Yes, it is the spirit of the Three Studies."

The next second, Liu Huaimin's eyes flashed with light, and he looked as excited as if he had found a child's toy. He even came to Yang Xiaotao and wanted to hug him, which scared Yang Xiaotao.

"Lao Liu, calm down, calm down."

Yang Xiaotao hurriedly hugged Liu Huaimin's arm. He was almost fifty years old. Couldn't he be more cautious?
Liu Huaimin didn't care at all. "Xiao Tao, do you know?"

"Three studies, three learning spirits."

"Do you know what this means?"

"This has never happened before. We have all studied and chanted slogans for so long, and now we are all gathered here together."

“We’re all gathered together!”

“Hahahaha, Sanxue, Sanxue spirit!!!”

Liu Huaimin happily walked to the window and opened it. He needed to calm down, otherwise he would not be able to do anything today.
