Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2009 Everyone is an Iron Man
The sun shines all over the earth, the sky is clear and countless people gather together under the boundless blue sky, making the scene particularly spectacular.

The square was crowded with people from all over.

In the front row, near the rostrum, workers from various factories were lined up and waving flags.

They were wearing work clothes of various colors, separated in rows, like a plain plaid shirt, but the flags above their heads made them look brightly colored.

Further back, there was a boiling ocean where people of all kinds, men, women, young and old, gathered into a huge force, with flags above their heads as well.

Under the colorful flags, the noise of the crowd rose one after another. Some were discussing the Iron Man, some were discussing Dazhai, and some were talking about the Red Star Machinery Factory. They gathered together and showed off their "knowledge".

Some people were shouting slogans, and some were singing along with the radio.

But more people are full of anticipation, looking forward to the official opening of the conference.

Dong dong dong

As the horns sounded not far away, the crowd gradually quieted down, and everyone's face was filled with anticipation and solemnity.

Liu Huaimin, dressed in formal attire and holding a speech, walked up to the podium, and everyone's attention was focused on him.

The surroundings suddenly became silent, as if only the sunshine and the naughty wind were moving around, disrupting the order of the venue.

Liu Huaimin stood in front of the podium, holding the manuscript in both hands, looking nervous.

This was not the first time he had attended or hosted such a conference.

But this time, it was extra tense.

It wasn't just because he didn't have Mr. Huang and his gang to support him, it wasn't just the slogan above his head that made him feel pressured.

Moreover, because of the tens of thousands of eyes present, they came here with full of expectations and hope.

If we fail, not only will we disappoint them, but we will also ruin the conference and make the Red Star Machinery Factory a laughing stock.

Even though the factory directors and secretaries came here just to show off for them, he had no idea how many of them were actually sincere.

But certainly, someone was expecting them to suffer misfortune.

Competitors are enemies, this is not just an "exclusive" thing in the old days.

Therefore, he cannot bear this responsibility.

Facing the morning sunshine, Liu Huaimin looked at the people present and tried to calm himself.

Not far away, there were people entering the venue.

Below, groups of people waited in anticipation, flags flying.

In front of us were rows of leaders from various factories, street offices, and ministries.

There are four people at the front.

Liu Huaimin glanced at Yang Xiaotao and the others, and finally saw the smile on Yang Xiaotao's face, and then he became determined.

All the pressure is on Yang Xiaotao, what is he afraid of?

Am I, a fifty-year-old man, not as good as a young man who has just started out?
Taking a deep breath, Liu Huaimin looked down at the manuscript in his hand. His workload was not large, only a few lines of words.

It's just a few lines, just shout it out.

Thinking of this, Liu Huaimin's mood gradually calmed down.

This is a podium made up of eight microphones lined up side by side.

The surrounding wires are connected to sixteen large speakers.

His voice can be projected to every corner around him.

In order to attract people gathering outside the venue, six large speakers were even placed on the wall to make it easier for more people to hear the sounds inside.

Behind the rostrum, there is a backup diesel generator to ensure that there will be no power outages.

"Dear guests, dear worker comrades, dear peasant comrades, dear fellow villagers!"

"good morning guys."

Bang bang bang bang
The workers at the machinery factory were the first to applaud, and then the entire venue was filled with applause.

"On this sunny day, on behalf of all the comrades of the Red Star Machinery Factory, I welcome everyone."

Papapa

“We can gather here”

Liu Huaimin took the manuscript and began to read it. At this time, only the words on the manuscript could make him think of something.

Only after he finished reading it briefly did he look at the people in front of him.

"Now, let us welcome the three heroic comrades who have come here with warm applause."

After Liu Huaimin finished speaking, he looked at the three people below.

"They are the iron comrades from Daqing."

Bang bang bang bang
The venue was quiet for a moment, and then there was a thunderous sound.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, the Iron Man walked onto the stage, waving his arms around.

The iron man smiled with a calm expression, and he looked very relaxed as he strolled leisurely.

The clapping of hands was particularly loud.

"Welcome, Comrade Chen Yonggui from Dazhai."

Papapa

There was another round of intense and rapid applause.

Chen Yonggui stood up, with a simple smile on his face under the white towel. He then waved to everyone and walked up to the stage step by step.

The applause paused for a moment.

"Welcome, our beloved PLA, Comrade Yu Bei."

Bang bang bang bang
Applause broke out, the sound was weaker than the previous one, but still deafening.

At this moment, Yu Bei could only straighten his back and step onto the stage step by step like a sharp sword.

I even forgot to turn around and say hello to everyone.

Only when she walked onto the stage did she stand at attention and turn around.

Then salute.

But he used his left hand.

At this moment, everyone discovered that the other party was actually missing an arm.

The sunlight shining on his thin cheeks made the badge on his chest shine brightly.

Papapa

The applause suddenly broke out, even louder than before.

The three of them stood aside, and Liu Huaimin's heart began to beat faster.

What comes next is the most important.

After a moment's silence, Liu Huaimin's high-pitched voice rang out, "Finally, we would like to invite the representative of the Red Star Machinery Factory, Comrade Yang Xiaotao."

Papapa

ooh ooh

Applause and cheers broke out at this moment.

It was as if the earth was shaking and there was a mountain torrent and tsunami.

Yang Xiaotao's originally serious face was replaced with a smile.

A confident smile.

He wore a straight blue work suit and walked towards the podium step by step as if he had been measured.

The way he walked was as if he was carrying a heavy mountain on his shoulders, but nothing could stop him from moving forward.

At this moment, everyone saw a figure that was moving forward without fear. I don't know why, but this feeling made people admire him.

In the office building in the distance, the old man and Mr. Huang were sitting in front of the window, and Zhu Ziqing and the other three were also holding binoculars.

At this moment, several people were watching everything that was happening on the field through their lenses.

Not far from them, a large loudspeaker was facing here, and the speaker's voice could be heard clearly.

Yang Xiaotao walked step by step to stand in front of Yu Bei.

"Relax, it's no big deal."

Feeling Yu Bei's legs trembling, Yang Xiaotao smiled gently, not realizing that the tone of his voice had also changed.

“The more nervous you are, the more mistakes you’re likely to make.”

"Relax, just think of it as preparation before the charge."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao felt a flash of murderous intent from the young man beside him.

This is definitely a killer.

For a moment, both of them calmed down their excitement and faced it with emotion.

"Next, please welcome Comrade Iron Man!"

Liu Huaimin felt that there was no need for him to stay on the stage any longer. By handing the stage over to them, his mission would be accomplished.

So he shouted this sentence at the top of his voice and turned around and walked back.

The iron man nodded, took a deep breath and walked forward.

Yang Xiaotao and the other two walked aside and sat down.

Coming to the microphone, the Iron Man placed his hands on the podium, his expression calm.

"Hello, comrades."

Papapa

Iron Man smiled and nodded.

"I am what you call an iron man."

Papapa

The Iron Man was still smiling.

"But what I want to talk about today is not me."

"What I want to say is, the spirit of the iron man!"

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then looked at the iron man on the stage more seriously.

"I came here today to accept the invitation of Comrade Yang Xiaotao to visit the machinery factory, because I know that the machinery factory has done a lot of things. The tractors they produce make our work more convenient, transportation smoother, and industrial development rapid."

“And I also know that the machine shop does a lot of things, so I wanted to come and see it.”

"I just didn't expect to see so many comrades here, which makes me very happy."

"Because I saw the desire in the eyes of my comrades."

The Iron Man spoke with full energy, his eyes sweeping across the audience, "I can see from everyone here that you all aspire to become an Iron Man."

"You all have a heart to become an iron man!"

Papapa

Yang Xiaotao was the first to applaud, and then the audience burst into excited voices.

Especially the workers in the machinery factory, their excitement was beyond words.

The same is true for people in other factories around.

What a great honor it is to be recognized by the Iron Man.

“Since everyone wants to become an ironman, let me talk to you about what an ironman is.”

“What is the Iron Man Spirit?”

The Iron Man raised his palm.

"In my opinion, the Iron Man spirit is hard work, struggle, dedication, sacrifice and unity."

Every time the iron man said one, he put away a finger and clenched it into a fist.

"These five elements, when combined together, form a force that supports everyone's courageous progress. This is the Iron Man Spirit."

"Everyone knows that our country used to be called a barren land without oil."

"But we just don't believe it. We say we can't produce oil and we can't develop industry."

"Why should they say whatever they say? I don't believe it. We oil workers don't believe this nonsense!"

The Iron Man raised his fist and roared, as if he was fighting and lighting fires.

"We carried it on our shoulders and in our hands, using basins, pots and pans."

“The difficulties are unimaginable. Sometimes I don’t know what to do, but if there are conditions, I will do it. If there are no conditions, I will create them and do it.”

"When the oil workers roar, the earth will shake three times. Oil workers are very motivated and are not afraid of any difficulties!"

"We have to show people how to do it!"

“There is no task that we oil workers cannot accomplish”

Every time the Iron Man roared, there would be loud applause from all around the venue.

The sound shook the entire universe, as if all the clouds in the sky were blown away, not daring to block the sunlight from peeking through.

The words the Iron Man used were not fancy, but simple language that made people feel the power in the words.

Even Yang Xiaotao felt the fire in his chest being ignited.

This is a cry of life.

Awakening the fire in the hearts of workers.

"Comrades, especially worker comrades."

"Revolutionary construction requires our hands, but more importantly, our warm hearts!"

“Comrades, may everyone become an iron man, unite, fight, struggle, dedicate, and sacrifice for the revolution, for the country, and for future generations!”

"Thank you comrades for listening to my report."

Bang bang bang bang
As the Iron Man left the podium and walked to the side to bow deeply in thanks, the entire venue erupted in loud cheers.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao came up with a bold idea.

If the Iron Man were left in the machinery factory, the workers would probably cry out in protest.

pity.

Iron man is an oil worker.

But the iron man spirit belongs to everyone.

After the Iron Man expressed his thanks, he came to the back with a smile, and the three of them stood up to greet them.

Looking at the three people, Iron Man smiled and said, "How about my suggestion?"

Chen Yonggui shook his head, "You are turning your head, and I am just a lump of earth."

"It's so great, I feel my chest burning."

Yang Xiaotao was talking on the side, and Yu Bei nodded, with more admiration in his eyes when he looked at the iron man.

"Then I'll go get you some more firewood."

After hearing this, Chen Yonggui burst into laughter, adjusted the towel on his head, then patted the non-existent dust off his butt and strode forward.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao felt a little more expectant.
