Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2082: The Ship's Aircraft
When I went out, snowflakes started falling outside again.

Yang Xiaotao doesn’t know how many snowfalls this year, but it snows a lot this year.

Sometimes it is snow foam, which falls in the morning and melts in the afternoon, making the ground wet.

Sometimes there is heavy snow, and the sky and the earth change color overnight.

And now, looking at the falling snowflakes, Yang Xiaotao is sure that it will be white tomorrow when he wakes up.

"Boss Yang, I'll take you back."

Wang Hao said this, holding a coat in his hand.

Yang Xiaotao took it and put it on, "Are you leading the team tonight?"

"Yes, Captain Liang asked us to guard here. Nothing can go wrong."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Wang Hao, "Comrades, you've worked hard on the night shift. Please prepare some more hot soup. Take these cigarettes and share them."

Wang Hao took it with a smile. He knew very well that Mr. Yang would never be short of cigarettes.

"Also, tell the comrades to wear more clothes. It's really cold today."

Wang Hao nodded.

The two got in the car and left quickly.

When I returned to the yard, everything was quiet. The naughty kids at home stayed at home obediently and slept when they had nothing to do.

It’s the same for adults. If they have nothing to do, they go to sleep, and if they sleep, something will happen.

When we arrived at the central courtyard, the wind made the branches of the locust trees fight with each other, and the crackling sound was similar to the sound in some houses.

The houses around here all had their doors and windows closed, and only the gray smoke coming out of the chimneys stood firm in the cold wind.

Wangcai's family huddled together to avoid the wind and snow.

When Yang Xiaotao came back, Wangcai ran out and ran around Yang Xiaotao. Yang Xiaotao reached out and touched the dog's head, then pushed open the door and walked into the house.

As for Xiaowei, this girl has become a stay-at-home girl since she got a new home.

Except when he had to go out with Yang Xiaotao for something, he would hide in the lightning-struck wood to absorb energy at other times. He just didn't know if he would succeed in the end.

"came back!"

As soon as Yang Xiaotao entered the door, he heard Ran Qiuye's voice.

"You're back, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Yang Xiaotao took off his coat and shoes, took off his socks, and walked to the side wearing only shoes.

Ran Qiuye came out wearing a cotton-padded jacket. After seeing Yang Xiaotao, she went to the stove, took the hot kettle, poured it into an enamel basin, added some cold water, and brought it to him.

"You seem to be quite busy these days, and the weather is cold, so you should take care of yourself."

As he said this, he put down the basin and put Yang Xiaotao's feet in it.

This is not the first time.

At first, Yang Xiaotao was a little reluctant and just wanted to do it himself.

But Ran Qiuye insisted and even refused to let her wash her feet, which meant she didn't love her and didn't treat her as a family member, so Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to let her do whatever she wanted.

Of course, this feeling not only warms the soles of your feet, but also warms your heart.

What an honor it is to find a woman who is willing to wash my feet in this life.

If this happened in the future, let alone washing one's own feet, it would not be an exaggeration to even do the opposite.

Looking at his wife washing his feet, Yang Xiaotao reached out and stroked his wife's hair.

Ran Qiuye raised her head and glanced at him, her eyes full of tenderness.

Ran Qiuye poured out the water in the basin and then put the basin aside.

Yang Xiaotao came up to her, picked her up and slowly walked into the house without waiting for her to react.

Outside the house, the cold wind was howling and snowflakes were falling.

Inside the house, two figures hugged each other.

the next morning.

Yang Xiaotao got up, rubbing his sore lower back. Looking at Ran Qiuye who was still sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but move his body and slowly recover.

After putting on his clothes, Yang Xiaotao went out. Looking at the white snow in the yard and the snow foam blown down from the roof by the wind, which fell on his neck and was freezing cold, he could not help but shrink his neck and rub his palms.

After tidying up, Yang Xiaotao found a broom and a shovel from the next door room and started cleaning the path in the yard.

Wipe
Soon a meter-wide path was cleared. It was cold and the ground was frozen, so the snow was swept away and the path would not be muddy even when the sun came out.

"Morning, Uncle Wang."

Wang Dashan came out of the next room with a shovel, and Yang Xiaotao greeted him.

"Morning, you're up pretty early."

"This young man is getting lazier and lazier."

Wang Dashan said this and then looked towards the next room.

That is where the eldest son Wang Jun lives.

Since joining the machinery factory, Wang Jun has made some progress.

The salary plus benefits he receives are almost more than that of a level 6 butcher.

Thanks to Wang Jun's help, life at home is getting better and better.

Now, the family is preparing to find a wife for Wang Jun.

Logically speaking, with Wang Jun's conditions, he could find a girl not only from the city but also from a female worker in a textile factory.

Just like Zhou Peng, he found a female worker and formed a dual-income family, which is something people envy.

But the family asked my third aunt to help find several girls, but in the end it didn't work out.

I don't know what this guy's request is, but he just doesn't like it.

Wang Dashan has been working hard behind the scenes for this matter, hoping to have a grandson as soon as possible.

The fact that his eldest son was so slow made him feel that something was not right. "Maybe he hasn't found the right one yet. When he does, he will find it."

Yang Xiaotao was trying to comfort him, but he knew clearly what Wang Jun was thinking.

In other words, he knew clearly what these young people in the alley were thinking.

These young people may not have much ability, but they have great ambitions.

Just like when Qin Huairu entered the Siheyuan, the young men in the courtyard raised their standards for finding a partner.

Although things are no longer the same as before, the young widow in her twenties, coupled with her good figure and careful dressing, has made many young people always aim to achieve this standard.

Later, Ran Qiuye moved into the Siheyuan courtyard. With the help of Yang Xiaotao over the years, her body has become more mature and she exudes charm, making her even more outstanding.

This has invisibly caused many people with high ambitions to raise their standards for choosing a spouse.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that bastard."

Wang Dashan waved his hands. Now that his son was able to earn money, he, as a father, had to save some face in front of others.

"Has your uncle Chen written to you recently?"

"Uncle Chen, no, but it should be soon. We have to talk about it during the New Year."

"Old Chen is enjoying his life, surrounded by his children and grandchildren."

The two chatted while working.

After Ran Qiuye got up in the room, she began to clean up and prepare breakfast.

After a while, Miaomiao got up and put on her clothes, and then helped the twins to get dressed. After a while, Duanwu also came out and the family started to eat.

By the time Yang Xiaotao went out to work, the remaining snow in the yard had become a battlefield for the children to play.

Of course, there are also the calls of parents in the yard.

There aren’t many clothes these days, and if they get wet, there’s nothing to change into.

When I arrived at the machinery factory, I sat down with Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning and talked about the situation of the aircraft engine.

All that could be inspected have been inspected, and all have passed, meeting the standards set by the aircraft manufacturer.

As for the follow-up arrangements, we can only wait for Mr. Chen’s opinion.

The three of them met and talked for a while, then Yang Xiaotao went to the training ground and found Liang Zuoxin who was running laps.

"I heard that you trapped everyone when you were in the military academy?"

Liang Zuoxin said happily, heat radiating from his whole body.

Yang Xiaotao looked at the training ground not far away and saw a group of people running in the snow in short sleeves.

It really is the coldest time of winter.

"That's not worth mentioning."

Yang Xiaotao waved his hands, looking like he had nothing to show off.

Liang Zuoxin grinned, then returned to normal.

I have become immune to this guy's shamelessness.

I chatted with Liang Zuoxin for a while and asked him to pay attention to the aircraft engine. It has to be pulled back to the machinery factory today, and we have to pay close attention to it in the future to make sure no mistakes are made.

Liang Zuoxin naturally understood the meaning of this and would not be careless.

After finishing his words, Yang Xiaotao ran back to the office.

It's cold outside, but it's warm in the office.

He stayed in the room all morning, read the report for a while, and then picked up the design drawings of the machine tool that Chang Mingjie sent last time.

When Yang Xiaotao saw these design drawings, he remembered the machine tool that Alfat sent him last time.

I originally thought that after the machine tools arrived, they would be sent to the machinery factory first.

Unexpectedly, when the people from the machinery factory went to receive the materials, they heard that the machine tool had been borrowed by people from the Second Ministry of Machine Building.

Yes, that’s what Mr. Chen said, he borrowed it.

As for what he did specifically, Mr. Chen didn't say, and Yang Xiaotao had no way to ask.

As for the research and promotion, people don’t even know they have a system.

So the matter had to be put on hold until the Second Ministry of Machine Building had used up the materials, and then their machinery factory would come back to study it.

I just don't know if their machinery factory will make a better one after the Second Ministry of Machine Building uses it up.

After looking at Chang Mingjie's design drawing, Yang Xiaotao made a few changes on it, and then asked Lou Xiao'e to send the drawing over.

After finishing all this, Yang Xiaotao thought about taking out the book on artillery reconnaissance radar to continue studying, but as soon as he opened the page, he remembered what he had promised Hao Pingchuan.

There is no news from Shanghai yet, which means Zheng Chaoyang is still preparing, or looking for a suitable opportunity.

At this time, the method proposed by Hao Pingchuan may not be unreasonable.

Besides, this gas turbine is somewhat similar to a turbine engine.

Now that the turbine engine has been designed, it should not be difficult to modify it and make a gas turbine for ships.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao began to construct a preliminary gas turbine on paper.

Unlike the engines required for airplanes, ships, due to their size, require engines that may not be as fast as those of airplanes, but they must be powerful enough.

And it can maintain stable work for a long time.

Continue to provide power for the ship.

Meeting these two requirements seems simple but is difficult to do.

Today, the only countries that can fully master this technology, apart from the United States, are Britain.

As for the alliance, it is still very rough and is far from being good in this respect.

All things are difficult at the beginning. Even though Yang Xiaotao has fully mastered the design structure of the turbo engine, he still feels a little overwhelmed at first.

Fortunately, he is not an ordinary person. Since he has difficulties, he can let the system help.

As long as you design it a few more times yourself and use the system's continuous trial and error, you will always be able to find the most suitable design.
