Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 384 Trust
Walking in the door, Xu Yuanshan was on the phone, and there were two open lunch boxes on the table. It was obvious that they were not from the cafeteria, but brought from home.

Two fine-grain steamed buns, a scrambled egg, and a bunch of cabbage underneath.

This food is not bad.

"It's okay to wander around, go back and chat with your subordinates."

Seeing Yang Xiaotao staring at the lunch box, Xu Yuanshan hung up the phone and said angrily.

"Uncle Xu, you're so busy that you haven't even eaten. It's not good for your stomach when it's cold."

Then he closed the lunch box, "I'll warm it up for you."

"No, leave the lunch box for me."

"From what you said, it looks like I'm going to eat it. Well, this is made by my aunt, it's so delicious"

As Yang Xiaotao said, he was already lying on the scrambled eggs and smelling them, the veins on Xu Yuanshan's forehead wrinkled.

This kid did it on purpose.

"Boy, tell me something quickly."

"Hey, Uncle Xu, what's going on with Lou Xiao'e?"

Xu Yuanshan knew that if this kid didn't explain clearly to him, he would come back to bother him in the future.

Then Xu Yuanshan talked about the news he knew.

When Xu Yuanshan talked about the history of the rolling mill, Yang Xiaotao knew something about it from film and television works in his previous life, but he was just echoing others, and no one really talked about the specific situation.

In Xu Yuanshan's narration, he finally had a concrete impression of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant.

The predecessor of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was a small factory with foreign capital injection and national capital. Later, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, it was occupied by devils, foreign capital withdrew, and national capital was plundered.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the national capital returned, that is, the forces represented by the Lou family took over the rolling mill and were managed by officials appointed by the government at that time.

During the War of Liberation, the Lou family followed the general trend and became red capitalists. They contributed a lot to the peaceful liberation of Forty-Nine City and kept most of the machines in the rolling mill.

Since the establishment of the country, it has been contributing to the country's construction.

Later, after the state-run reorganization, the rolling mill was nationalized, but considering the contributions made by the Lou family and the need for their management experience, they retained part of the shareholding rights.

It's just that as the management personnel mature, the country's demand for rolling mills is increasing, and the superiors' control over the rolling mills will become stronger.

Therefore, until now, most of the equity in the rolling mill has been confiscated, but some are still in the hands of individuals.

This part of the equity is outside, there are always some constraints, and I have to cherish some reputation, so I want to take back these shares.

But the results are minimal.

At this time, the Lou family returned their equity, and Lou Jingtang resigned from the board of directors, giving up his rights completely.

And that's not all, Lou Jingtang handed over most of his family's money to support national construction.

These days, the country's foreign exchange reserves are so small, so many good things can be brought back with money, but there is no money to buy them.

This action made the superiors see the signs of Qianjin City's horse bones, so they took it out as a model, and naturally they should be treated preferentially.

It was Lou Jingtang's request that Lou Xiao'e came to work in the rolling mill.

In this regard, after the superior department agreed, it was directly handed over to the rolling mill.

"My boy, remember, now Lou Xiao'e is different from the previous Lou Xiao'e."

Xu Yuanshan was afraid that Yang Xiaotao would not be clear, so he warned, "In the past, she was the daughter of a capitalist, but now, she is a worker in our factory and our revolutionary comrade."

"The same is true for Lou Jingtang. We treat comrades who love the motherland equally, and we must not discriminate because of past events."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately.

But in my heart, I was still worried.

It's 63 now.

The Lou family is like this, what will happen if they are reported again?

Maybe it will be better than the ones in the movies, but maybe I have to go to Hong Kong Island.

But Hong Kong Island may not be a good place at this time.Gangs, black police, street attacks, large shootouts, etc., are more chaotic than domestic ones.

Regardless of these things, because of this incident, it is hard to say whether the leaders of the rolling mill, or even himself, will be implicated.

Those people are all unreasonable existences.

Yang Xiaotao didn't think, especially Xu Damao, he was not a magnanimous person.

Knowing that Lou Xiao'e works here, are you crazy?
Once you see the opportunity, you have to take the knife.

When Yang Xiaotao came out of Xu Yuanshan's room, there was no movement in the office, so he went in.

Lou Xiao'e was arranging the materials on the table. She didn't know what to do, she just wanted to find something to do, otherwise it would be embarrassing to stare at her in this room.

When Yang Xiaotao walked in, Lou Xiaoe cast her gaze on him.

"It's okay, as long as you are busy."

As Yang Xiaotao said, he walked back to the desk and started working.

Lou Xiao'e looked at it, and finally mustered up the courage, "Mr. Yang, you, you have a job, can you leave it to me?"

Yang Xiaotao raised his head, then frowned, and pulled out a stack of blueprints from his hand. He checked all these, but Lou Xiaoe didn't know.

"This is the drawing of the heating furnace. It is for Brother Factory. Please check the parameters on it."

Yang Xiaotao handed over the blueprint, and took out another blueprint, "As long as it is the same as the value above."

Lou Xiaoe nodded, and after taking it, she returned to her original seat and compared it carefully.

When she was about to get off work in the afternoon, Lou Xiaoe sat on a stool and had already read the blueprints on hand twice, but she saw that Yang Xiaotao was reading a book, and it was inconvenient to disturb her, so she just waited.

It wasn't until after get off work that Yang Xiaotao stretched his waist and put the book away, then got up and sent the finished drawings over.

"After reading it, there is no problem with these."

Lou Xiaoe put the materials on the table, then looked at Yang Xiaotao, "What tasks do I have tomorrow?"

"Well, it's nothing, I'll tell you something."

Yang Xiaotao got up, took his backpack, packed it, and prepared to leave work.

"By the way, when you're free, you can read a book."

Lou Xiaoe nodded, "Okay."

The two left the office one after the other, and then went home by bicycle.

Working hours, no other communication.

The same goes for after get off work.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, it is not like this.

Yu Haitang stood at the gate, clutching a handkerchief, looking at Lou Xiaoe with jealous eyes.

At noon today, she went to find Yang Xiaotao, and planned to use the exchange group to talk to Yang Xiaotao. After all, some things needed to be publicized, and the factory leader also said that they should be well publicized.

Isn't this just an opportunity?

But who would have thought that when she entered the office, she was shocked to see a woman sitting in it.

After the conversation, she knew that this woman would work here from now on. At that moment, she just felt that she had walked into the wrong room, and she couldn't speak fluently.

Fortunately, the other party may have just joined the factory and is not familiar with things, and what he said was wrong.

In this way, the two of them were polite to each other, chatted with each other, ended in a hurry, and each was busy.

After leaving the office, Yu Haitang asked someone to inquire about the woman's details.

Lou Xiaoe, Xu Damao's ex-wife, a resident of Yang Xiaotao's compound.

However, she heard that there were some things between the two, and she didn't know the details, but she always felt that the relationship between the two was too deliberate.

Deliberate avoidance is not normal.

As Yu Haitang walked, he couldn't help but feel disappointed. Yang Xiaotao made it very clear that he didn't want to see her at first, and now Lou Xiao'e came again. Could it be that Yang Xiaotao likes this kind of woman?
For a moment, Yu Haitang seemed to have caught something, but she couldn't accept it.

"Forget it, it's not that I can't get married, she's much better than him, Yang Xiaotao!"

……

"It's not normal! It's not normal!"

Silly Zhu followed behind the uncle and talked with a gossip.

On the contrary, Yi Zhonghai didn't feel anything, or in other words, he didn't want to talk to Yang Xiaotao about anything.

Don't worry about it, you don't have to cause trouble.

"Master, do you think Yang Xiaotao and Lou Xiao'e have sex! These two people were almost together before, and now they are in the same office, hehe."

Silly Zhu smiled maliciously, as if seeing Yang Xiaotao returning home and being hated by his wife and daughter-in-law.

"Zhuzi, we don't care about what Yang Xiaotao likes."

"It's you, you've passed the age of 26, look, these are all older youths, why don't you hurry?"

Silly Zhu heard this, his expression was downcast, "Master, I'm looking for this too, last time I went to look for a matchmaker, but they didn't see me at all, what can I do?"

"What should I do? If you don't look at what you did, you can't put your mouth on the door? If you can't find a wife, you, you will be a bachelor for the rest of your life."

Silly Zhu's expression changed, he watched Yi Zhonghai walk away, and stomped his feet angrily, "Isn't she just a daughter-in-law, and it's not like I haven't looked for it before."

"After the new year, I will look for it. I can't find it in the city, and there are not a lot of it in the countryside."

Silly Zhu thought of the corn pile, and Qin Huairu, a country girl, was even better.

When Yang Xiaotao returned to the courtyard, Ran Qiuye was doing activities in the yard, and rice was cooking on the stove in the room. Seeing Yang Xiaotao came back, he hurriedly prepared to clear the table for dinner.

"Daughter-in-law, come in and tell you something."

Ran Qiuye was dragged into the room by Yang Xiaotao and sat on the bed. Seeing that Yang Xiaotao was very solemn, he quickly asked what was going on.

Yang Xiaotao told about Lou Xiao'e, and then looked at Ran Qiuye.

"That's it. What do you look like?"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's seriousness, Ran Qiuye couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao also felt that he was taking it too seriously.

But this matter must be known to Ran Qiuye.

He didn't ask anything else, "Just this, let me tell you."

"I thought what was the matter. It's great that Xiao'e can go to work in the steel rolling mill. Before we talked, she wanted to find a job. Unfortunately, she didn't go out to find a job because of her background. This time, I can find a job for her. happy."

Yang Xiaotao saw that Ran Qiuye was really happy for Lou Xiao'e, and then realized that he was thinking too much.

But this attitude must be correct. Telling yourself and hearing it from others have two effects.

"That's all, nothing else."

"I see, Xiao'e's work is not easy, you should take care of her more in the future."

"Okay, wash your hands and go eat."

Yang Xiaotao looked again and again, Ran Qiuye smiled, then nodded and washed his hands with water.

Ran Qiuye watched Yang Xiaotao leave, a trace of sadness appeared on his smiling face, but it quickly dissipated.

Good men always make women feel insecure, and so does she.

Although the time with Yang Xiaotao was not long, the feeling she gave her made her understand that she could no longer leave him.

From the initial unimaginable to a warm home now, she is already very satisfied, and she can even make any sacrifices.

But she didn't want to be a vase, she didn't want to be a vine on Yang Xiaotao's big tree, what she wanted to be was also a tree, even if it wasn't tall, but it would accompany him through wind and rain together.

In Leo Tolstoy's book, Anna's tragic life told her that love is not easy to get, and you should cherish it even more after you get it, and there is no room for suspicion.

She found love, so she cherishes this love even more.

When Yang Xiaotao came back, Ran Qiuye was the same as usual, making Yang Xiaotao feel at ease.

Just as he thought, Lou Xiao'e is just a colleague now.

Jiajia
Jia Zhang held her nose, and carried Jia Dongxu with all her strength, while Qin Huairu endured nausea, quickly changed her clothes, and then went out quickly, ready to wash.

Jia Zhang put Jia Dongxu down, and also ran out to breathe fresh air.

As for Xiaodang the stick, he ran out of the house a long time ago, and only Jia Dongxu was left, unable to move, so he could only suffer in the house.

"Dad, you can't just say, it's so smelly, how can we eat at home?"

Stick was standing at the door, today Jia Zhang couldn't bear stick's entanglement, took out a dollar and asked Qin Huairu to buy some meat, while dinner was being prepared, Jia Dongxu's roar came from the room.

Then, there was a pungent smell everywhere in the house, and several people hurriedly opened the windows, and they were busy again.

"Little bastard, try roaring again?"

Jia Dongxu was lying on the bed, his veins bulging with anger, "Get out of here, I won't beat you to death, you are unfilial."

"If you don't go in, I won't go in. Get up if you have the ability."

"You, you little bastard, come in for me, cough cough"

"Don't go in, it's so smelly inside, it's all your fault, it's all your fault."

"You, cough, cough. Little beast, little beast"
