Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 677 A Photo

"Director Zheng, I don't think all connections need to be like this, but you can try the parts that often go wrong..."

Yang Xiaotao's voice brought Ran's father back to reality, and then he looked at the drawings.

"The idea is very imaginative, and the point of action of this force is very accurate..."

Ran's father looked at the drawings to express his opinions, and even drew some parts to join the discussion.

Yang Xiaotao also began to diverge his thinking and put forward his own opinions from time to time.

The two quickly found a common topic on the blueprint design, while Director Zheng was holding an enamel jar and watching the team discuss there.

Feeling in my heart, it's not a family, don't enter a family.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost time for dinner. Seeing that the two were still discussing, Director Zheng said, "Let's eat first, and continue in the afternoon after eating."

Yang Xiaotao and Ran's father looked at each other and stopped working.

Director Zheng at the side said something to the guard at the side, who nodded and left the room.

Yang Xiaotao and Ran's father looked at each other, feeling as if they were going underground.

"Come on, let's go eat together."

Director Zheng said as he walked out the door, Father Ran got up, and Yang Xiaotao followed.

Seeing the distance Director Zheng deliberately opened, Ran's father slowed down.

"It's okay at home."

It was a familiar question again, but this time Yang Xiaotao's answer was more straightforward.

"Everything is fine, don't worry about it."

"Ok!"

Ran's father didn't know what to ask or what to say for a while.

"Well, Uncle, if I will go, should I tell Qiuye?"

Yang Xiaotao tried to speak, but he couldn't make out the phrase dad, so he just called him uncle.

Anyway, many people call it that.

Ran's father didn't care about the address, he just thought about Yang Xiaotao's question in his heart.

It took a long time before I lowered my voice, "Or, don't say it."

"I said it, but it will cause trouble. Wait..."

Ran's father didn't stay silent for a moment, "I'll explain when I get back."

Yang Xiaotao nodded.

The two continued to move forward, and when they reached the corner of the corridor, Yang Xiaotao took a quick step, then put his hand into Ran's father's pocket, and quickly took it out again.

Father Ran was surprised, Yang Xiaotao explained in a low voice.

"Uncle, this is our family portrait, er, that temporary family portrait."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, Father Ran paused for a moment, a look of excitement flashed across his face, and then continued to move forward.

When the two came to the cafeteria, a row of people were queuing up to eat with lunch boxes.

Director Zheng came over and handed a lunch box to Yang Xiaotao.

"Lao Huang and the others have already gone back. When it's over here, I'll send you back."

"Okay, thank you leader."

"It's not working time, just call me Uncle Zheng."

Director Zheng waved his hand very kindly.

"Okay, Uncle Zheng."

Yang Xiaotao yelled, but Ran's father beside him was coughing, and the three lined up for dinner.

There is no need to spend money or food stamps to eat here, and you can get as much as you eat.

One steamed bun with two noodles per person, and one steamed bun if it wasn't enough. Yang Xiaotao found that most people didn't want steamed buns, so he felt embarrassed to take them.

Except for the steamed buns, there was only a spoonful of potato cubes. It looked a little oily and watery in the soup, but I searched around with chopsticks, and there was no meat at all.

Yang Xiaotao and Ran's father sat on the bench, and a few people came over to say hello.

Director Zheng and Father Ran greeted everyone, and many people nodded and smiled when they saw Yang Xiaotao even though they didn't know each other.

After dinner, Yang Xiaotao followed Director Zheng back to the office, but Ran's father went to the bathroom.

In the toilet, Ran's father heard that there was no one around, and then took out the photo from his pocket.

Over the years, local comrades have brought many family members' information, but this is the first time I have seen the photos.

Looking at one by one, my wife is old and has many wrinkles, but her appearance is still the same.

The little guy I'm holding is Qiuye's child?
Long head and thick head, really white.

This is Qiuba, a big girl, a mother, good job!

Xinrui has also grown up, she looks like her mother, she smiles really well.

Also, Red Soldier.

I tried my best to recall the face of the past in my mind, but I still couldn't overlap with the one on the photo.

Wrapped in tears, vision began to blur.

When he left, Hongbing didn't know how to call him Dad, and now that he's grown so tall, he heard that he didn't study well, so he has to take care of it.

I just don't know what will happen when I see myself?

Will you call me daddy?
Probably, yes.

Tears flowed down uncontrollably.

A family portrait without one person is right in front of you.

Ran's father watched quietly, letting the tears fall.

When Yang Xiaotao saw Ran's father again, the latter had regained his composure, but his eyes were a little red.

Director Zheng didn't speak, and the guards guarding the side didn't pay attention, and the two continued to discuss design issues.

Throughout the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao could feel the change in Ran's father's mentality, his voice became louder and softer.

Get things done and work hard.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the discussion between the two ended. Father Ran put away the drawings, glanced at Yang Xiaotao, and nodded silently.

There was a look of relief in his eyes.

Director Zheng was talking to the guards, Father Ran took the opportunity to pass the photo to Yang Xiaotao.

In Yang Xiaotao's surprise, he whispered something.

"It's enough."

Yang Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, seeing Ran's father winking at the guard, he immediately understood what was going on, and immediately put the photo into the space.

The guard cast his eyes away, but he didn't notice anything unusual, and nodded to Director Zheng.

A moment later, Yang Xiaotao, led by the guards, followed behind and left the base.

After Yang Xiaotao left, Ran's father returned to the chair, while Director Zheng took out the cigarettes from his collection.

"This kid is good."

"Then it's up to you to say, can my daughter's eyesight be bad?"

"Hey, I said work."

Director Zheng looked at the changed blueprint, while Ran's father also nodded.

"The previous plan doesn't work, so try another way."

"Didn't the commander-in-chief say that what works well abroad may not necessarily work well for us, we have to have our own look at what they look like."

Father Ran nodded, "Then give it a try."

"I went back to change the blueprint."

Director Zheng nodded, and Ran's father walked to the door, "By the way, people call me uncle, so you're still an uncle?"

"You have to be kind to be a human being."

After finishing speaking, he left.

Director Zheng was stunned for a long time before he smiled helplessly, "Old Ran!"

They are the same age, and he is one month younger in terms of life.

However, listening to Yang Xiaotao calling him uncle, indeed, surpassed Lao Ran.

Haha
Delighted, Director Zheng took out the letter paper from the drawer and wrote down the words "memorandum" with a pen.

He needs to explain clearly the cause, process and result of the incident, especially what aspects Yang Xiaotao's behavior involves.

Then it will be approved and confirmed layer by layer until there is no problem.

Otherwise, it would be of no benefit to Yang Xiaotao.

When Yang Xiaotao returned to his residence, Zhang Dedao came over and walked around Yang Xiaotao, making Yang Xiaotao look disgusted.

"Niubi, what are you doing?"

"Oh, you just came back empty-handed?"

Zhang Dedao said indifferently, and raised his head and let out a long sigh.

"Well, I came back empty-handed."

"It's boring. What's for lunch?"

"Good meal!"

"It's boring."

After sending Zhang Dedao away, Yang Xiaotao took out the photo from the space, looked at it, and suddenly found that there were words on the back.

"May the family be safe and well."

No byline, no time.

But Yang Xiaotao was sure that it was left by Ran's father.

Putting the photos away, Yang Xiaotao felt that he still had to tell Mother Ran and Qiu Ye about this matter.

After all, this is also their spiritual sustenance for many years.

After putting the photos away, Yang Xiaotao tidied up, looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, and tightened the collar of his coat.

"This weather is really cold!"

Xiaowei crawled out of the bed, jumped into Yang Xiaotao's pocket, and then squeaked twice, very unhappy.

Yang Xiaotao guessed that it was a cloudy day, which delayed her energy absorption.

Coming here, the abundant sunshine can make Xiaowei dance for a long time.

The most direct manifestation is that Yang Xiaotao doubled the time spent watching "Video Peeping", and the sufficient sunlight changed the frequency from once every half a month to once every ten days.

"It's going to snow, let's go home when it's over."

Yang Xiaotao said to Xiaowei, and he responded with two swooshes.

Get up, ready to go to the next door to see Liu Daming.

The weather has changed too much recently, the sun is good during the day, but it can freeze to death at night.

At Liu Daming's age, he couldn't stand the cold.

If there are heating stoves that can be used in Sijiu City, let alone heating stoves here, there are not many stoves.

What's more, those who lack materials even have to save some coal.

Sometimes, Yang Xiaotao can't wait to take out the things in the storage space to improve the life here.

Reason told him, no.

Because, this is a materialistic world.

If you take it out, it won't be a surprise if you don't die.

……

Siheyuan, Siheyuan.

The sun is shining brightly, the sun is setting, and half the sky is red.

In the yard, under the big pagoda tree, Ran Qiuye drove his bicycle out.

Xiao Duan Wu sat on a special small chair, which Yang Xiaotao specially made for Xiao Duan Wu.

The small chair is fixed on the beam, surrounded by wood, and there are two cloth strips behind it, which serve as safety belts.

At this time, Xiao Duanwu was fixed on the chair, and his two little hands, wearing gloves made by Ran Qiuye, pressed against the wooden board and tried to stand up.

Wearing a small hat on the head, the big eyes are looking at the bell of the bicycle, which is very novel.

"Qiuye, are you going home?"

Liu Yulan saw the rice noodles on the back of Ran Qiuye's car and a piece of pork hanging on the handlebar, so she asked curiously.

"Well, go back to your mother's house and have a look."

"Go back to school tomorrow."

"I haven't been back for a long time. There are too many things happening in the factory these days. You don't know. The noisy pressure cooker was taken away this time. I heard that it was taken by the machine repair factory to imitate it. Alas, this is a big deal. , it was fine at first, it’s all the fault of those guys, who are obviously incapable but show off their abilities..."

Liu Yulan got angry when she mentioned this.

Ran Qiuye was not in a hurry, and soon understood what was going on.

Since the pressure cooker exploded and killed people, even if it was only one night, it shocked many people.

These days, the death of a worker is not a trivial matter, and the higher-ups even sent an investigation team to identify the circumstances of the accident.

At first, people in the workshop thought that there was a problem with the design of the pressure cooker itself, and many workshops abandoned the semi-finished pressure cooker.

Unexpectedly, the final result was that the people in the tenth workshop modified the parameters without authorization, and it was even an operation error, which caused the tragedy.

At this time, it was even heard that the superior leaders assigned the pressure cooker project to the machine repair factory, and the machine repair factory carried out imitation production.

After everyone found out, the hatred in their hearts.

As an honorable member of the rolling mill, even if several internal workshops are in competition, the rotten meat is all the rolling mill's own, who knows that this time it will be cheaper for outsiders.

"This group of people is rat shit. You can't do good things, but you can do disgusting things."

Liu Yulan glanced at Jia's family, feeling unhappy. If it weren't for them, the rolling mill would have gained more money.

According to Mr. Chen Bin, that's a big deal, not worse than a tractor.

pity…

"Unfortunately, if Brother Tao were here, there would be no such trouble, and no need to make it easier for outsiders."

When Liu Yulan said that, Ran Qiuye felt a longing in his heart, but it was quickly suppressed in his heart.

A man should not be a house sparrow staying at home, but an eagle flying high.

The two continued to talk, but Wangcai barked twice, reminding him to leave, and then Liu Yulan stopped, watching Ran Qiuye push the car away.

I still feel uneasy, "What a great opportunity, it's just wasted like this."

"Ugh!"
