Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 650
Night falls.

Yang Xiaotao took the lunch box to Liu Daming's residence, where Liu Daming and Hou Baowei were already waiting.

This is their benefit. They don't have to go to the cafeteria to queue up. Naturally, someone will deliver food to them, including washing the dishes.

Yang Xiaotao walked in, the room was cold, and the two were holding enamel jars to keep warm.

"Liu Gong, Hou Gong, I brought sugar water, you guys have a taste."

Yang Xiaotao handed over his water bottle, then sat on the bed and opened the lunch box.

Erhe noodle steamed buns, with a large piece of cabbage on the bottom and a layer of chili oil on top.

Yang Xiaotao looked a little nauseated, but he couldn't stop eating.

After all, this is Er He Noodle Mantou, a food that is hard to find here.

The three of them ate with their heads down, and wiped out everything in the lunch box, even the chili oil was stuffed into their stomachs with steamed buns.

After eating these, the two picked up Yang Xiaotao's water bottle, and each got a cup of 'sugar water', but the taste of today's sugar water was a bit different, like peach flavor.

The two drank a few sips, then Hou Baowei nodded to Liu Daming, then got up and left.

Yang Xiaotao also wanted to leave, but was stopped by Liu Daming.

"Xiaotao, there is no outsider here, let me tell you the truth."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Liu Daming who closed the door in surprise, "Gong Liu, tell me what's the matter."

Liu Daming was silent for a moment, and began to say, "You also know the relationship between Shen Rong and me, and there are some things that I know."

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "Gong Liu, tell me, I won't spread the word."

"Ah."

Then Liu Daming told Yang Xiaotao what he 'guessed' today.

For this, Yang Xiaotao had expected it a long time ago, but the surprise on his face was not in his heart.

There are so many of them practicing here non-stop, consuming precious food and materials every day and not working, even the rolling mill will not support idlers.

"Xiao Tao, you have to be serious tomorrow."

"Liu Gong, I understand."

Liu Daming nodded, and then sent Yang Xiaotao out.

Back in the room, Yang Xiaotao sat on the stool and thought for a while.

I still listen to Liu Daming, and staying here now is just a waste of time.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Yang Xiaotao put down his books and lay down on the bed.

Xiaowei flew in from the window sill and landed on Yang Xiaotao's chest.

"Let me see what they're doing."

Yang Xiaotao said softly, this time out for more than a month, Yang Xiaotao did not let Xiaowei use her abilities.

After all, with such a distance, using one ability will consume a lot of money for Xiaowei.

Fortunately, there is plenty of sunlight here, and Xiaowei has replenished a lot these days, but it can withstand the use.

Xiaowei screamed twice, and Yang Xiaotao closed his eyes.

Suddenly, a picture appeared in my mind and played quickly.

In Yangjiazhuang, Ran Qiuye was playing in the yard with Xiao Duanwu in his arms.

There were other people around, and the kid from Yang Shitou's family ran around in the yard.

Joy and laughter kept coming, Mr. Yang was laughing happily, and Yang Dazhuang beside him was talking about the harvest.

Suddenly, Ran Qiuye felt a tremor in her chest, and then it disappeared. She didn't take it seriously, just hugged Xiao Duanwu in a different position, and continued to talk.

"Teacher Ran, you let Duan Wu lie in the car, it's so tiring to hug her all the time."

Yang Shitou's daughter-in-law said, and then pointed at her boy, "Look, now he will run away when he grows up, and he can't control it."

Ran Qiuye smiled, "It's okay, I'm not tired."

"When he grows up, if he wants to be hugged, he won't be allowed to hug him, but then he won't be able to hug him anymore."

"Teacher Ran is right. My kid struggled while holding him, feeling uncomfortable all over."

"Isn't it? I'm not as obedient as I was when I was a child."

A few people were chatting and laughing, and suddenly Xiao Duanwu began to cry. Ran Qiu touched his forehead and found that it wasn't wet. Then he got up, "I'm going to the house."

Turning around and going back to the house, watching Xiao Duanwu coaxed him a few times, then lifted up his clothes, Xiao Duanwu immediately stopped crying and drank.

Looking up at the word '正' left on the wall, Ran Qiuye counted carefully.

"It's been 55 days."

"Duanwu, do you miss your father?"

Ran Qiuye said softly, seeing his son eating happily, remembering how her husband was staring at him before, he couldn't help but smile.

"Mom, I thought about it."

The picture was interrupted suddenly, but Yang Xiaotao still had that white scene in his mind.

"Daughter-in-law, I think about it too."

At night, the sound of the factory machines died down.

Man enters the dream.

Xiaowei flew to the window sill slowly and blended into the window lattice.

The moonlight was falling, and the room was a little dark.

The next day, Yang Xiaotao got up, felt the discomfort from below, and reluctantly took off his underwear and threw it into a basin, filled it with water to soak, then went downstairs to get a steamed bun from the door, and walked to the workshop while eating .

When I came to the workshop, I found that today is different from the past.

There were more guards than usual, and Shen Rong's face became more serious.

After everyone assembled in the workshop, Shen Rong still stood there, as if thinking about something, his eyes were a little dazed.

Just when everyone was impatient and Liu Daming was about to speak, Shen Rong finally came to his senses.

Cough
"Today we are going to conduct a thorough assessment. I hope everyone will show their true skills and pay attention to this assessment."

After Shen Rong finished speaking, You Qi glanced at Yang Xiaotao.

Feeling Shen Rong's gaze, Yang Xiaotao grinned.

Everyone has long been accustomed to this. For more than a month, there has been a test almost every week, and the test results are not announced, but everyone has a familiar understanding of their own abilities.

Soon, the staff handed out the drawings in their hands to everyone. Yang Xiaotao took a look and saw that it was a part for normal practice.

However, he also knew that the most important thing here was always precision.

This is unthinkable in a rolling mill.

After all, everyone is the same, it is enough to achieve ten, but you just make five, the accuracy is improved, and the effect is similar, but the production cost has increased by a factor of two.

This is in a market economy, and it is estimated that it will die at a loss.

Take the blueprint and come to the workbench.

This time, Yang Xiaotao looked serious and correct.

He also wanted to try, to what extent he could achieve by working hard on himself.

Chi Chi Chi

sizzle

Everyone in the workshop started to work, repeating a single boring process.

Liu Daming didn't act in such a hurry as before, and his body was constantly adjusting to maintain the best condition.

This made Shen Rong, who was watching from the side, tangled in his heart.

The reason why he told his master at the risk of making a mistake was that he really wanted to pass on his ideas to Yang Xiaotao, and more importantly, let him retreat in the face of difficulties. After this failure, he could return to Forty-Nine City.

Here it is, it's an effort.

At a young age, he didn't want his master to go there to suffer and suffer.

However, what Liu Daming showed now made him smile wryly.

"Master, that stubborn temper has not changed."

Half an hour later, someone had finished and started leaving the workbench.

An hour later, Yang Xiaotao and Liu Daming finished almost at the same time, and they left one after the other, while Hou Baowei, who left earlier, also had a smile on his face.

Seeing the sky, he also performed exceptionally, showing his strongest state.

The three of them got together, Niu Jianfeng also came over, and they were talking.

At this time, a tall figure came over, with a square face and big eyes like two bells, "Brother Xiaotao, I see you."

The person who came was Chen Chonghan from Jinling. During this period of time, everyone in this group of people is an expert, and you can get a general idea of ​​who they are after a few times.

Among them, the most powerful three are undoubtedly Yang Xiaotao, Chen Chonghan and Wan Jiyuan from Beisan.

If the three of them want to say who is the strongest, they really can't tell.

Anyway, it can achieve accuracy 3, and it is not easy to define who is strong and who is weak.

But in fact, in terms of age, Yang Xiaotao who has reached this level undoubtedly has the greatest potential.

After all, fitters are manual jobs.

I have a lot of experience, but I can't keep up if my body can't keep up.

Most of the masters here suffer from physical strength.

Physical fitness cannot keep up with experience, the production of workpieces cannot be sustained, and any pause in the middle may cause failure.

"Brother Chen."

Yang Xiaotao smiled. Among the three, Yang Xiaotao liked to communicate with Chen Chonghan more than Wan Jiyuan. Don't look at the other party's carelessness, but he has a delicate mind and can think of others.

More importantly, he felt that Chen Chonghan was more open-minded than Wan Jiyuan who only had a cold face and looked like Tang Shanlin.

The communication between the two is very comfortable, there is no need to beat around the bush, just speak directly.

Sometimes, the two would discuss craftsmanship, and Yang Xiaotao also benefited a lot.

Of course, after learning about the pressurized well and tractor made by Yang Xiaotao, Chen Chonghan often asked Yang Xiaotao to learn from him.

Anyway, the blueprints of the steam engine were given to others, and Yang Xiaotao didn't mind, and while he was busy, the two partnered to build a steam engine, which is now being requisitioned by General Motors.

"Brother, you didn't hold back this time, did you?"

"Brother Chen, you didn't stay behind either."

Hahaha

The two laughed, Chen Chonghan took out a cigarette case from his pocket, and there was only one cigarette left in it.

He took it out of the box, put it under his nose and smelled it, and put it back again. He is a heavy smoker, but he couldn't buy cigarettes here, and this was the last one he brought.

Yang Xiaotao smiled, but didn't take it out.

After all, you can't buy cigarettes here.

On the other side, Shen Rong looked at the measured data, and a smile flashed across his face instantly.

Then he closed the book and walked quickly to the front.

Several people talked for a while, Shen Rong suddenly asked people to gather.

Everyone stood together again, just when they felt that today's task was completed and they were about to leave the dormitory, Shen Rong had a serious face and began to roll the roll.

"Please click on the name below, and gather at the front."

Everyone was stunned, but Shen Rong started to shout.

"Yang Xiaotao."

"arrive."

The first one was him, Yang Xiaotao was a little unexpected, but he quickly reacted and took two steps forward.

"Chen Chonghan."

"arrive"

"Wan Jiyuan."

"to~"

Shen Rong called three names in a row, and everyone suddenly realized something, because these three were recognized as the 'strongest', even if some people didn't admit it, they recognized it in their hearts.

Everyone guessed a possibility, even Yang Xiaotao stood aside, watching Chen Chonghan winking, with a clear mind, this time it should be a real choice.

Shen Rong's voice continued, this time the people below were more excited and eager.

"Xu Huaibing"

"To!"

"Tangshan Forest"

"To!"

With an excited voice, Mustache smiled at Liu Daming, and Liu Daming's fists creaked in anger.

In a blink of an eye, five people were called to the front, and the people behind them were breathing more rapidly. They knew that there would not be many places.

Liu Daming stared at Shen Rong, his eyes almost protruding.

Shen Rong could feel the love from his 'parents', sighed in his heart, and called out the last name.

"Liu Daming!"

"To!"

Like a victorious general, Liu Daming walked into the front row with his chest up, and compared Tang Shanlin who was a head shorter than him.

Shen Rong closed the notebook, "You guys go to the back hall to rest and have a meeting later."

Soldiers on both sides came to lead them, and Yang Xiaotao took the lead to follow and walked to the back hall.

Shen Rong looked at the rest of the people, some of them were not convinced, while some were relieved.

"Comrades."

"This is the result of previous assessments, I will put it here, if anyone thinks it is unfair, feel free to look it up."

After speaking, he put the notebook on the table beside him.

After saying this, Shen Rong suddenly bowed to everyone, startling everyone.

"Shen Rong is here, on behalf of his superiors and the working group, to express his sincere thanks to everyone for their selfless dedication."

"Thank you for your hard work during this period of time. Your superiors will know about your hard work, because you are equally outstanding."

Shen Rong said, "Now, please go back to the dormitory to pack your luggage, you can go home now."
