Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 693

under night

The Northwest Station is full of stars.

Only here did Yang Xiaotao know what a starry sky is.

"Xiao Tao, you have been cooking fish for most of the night, when will it be good?"

Zhang Laodao was pinching his beard at the side, waiting very anxiously.

There are several people beside him, all watching.

Yang Xiaotao picked up the lid of the pot, looked at the two braised fishes in the pot, took a look at the soup, poured it with a spoon, and it was fragrant.

The master chef who is in charge of cooking is also intoxicated.

From Yang Xiaotao's doubts when he was preparing to cook in the afternoon, to his admiration when he showed off his exquisite knife skills, to the delicious food now, this fire-headed army who has worked here for more than ten years has been completely conquered.

"Don't worry, just wait a few minutes and boil the soup."

Yang Xiaotao put the lid on the pot, blocking the sight of several people, and then went to the next pot to look at the pancakes, the golden brown pancakes were just right.

The last was a small pot, which Yang Xiaotao used half a catty of pork to make braised pork, of course, the meat in it was definitely more than half a catty.

Seeing what Yang Xiaotao said, Zhang Laodao immediately drove them away and told them to go back and wait.

He was the only one left at the scene, and then he kept staring at the pot, his throat throbbing from time to time.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Laodao shook his head regretfully, and Yang Xiaotao saw him, "Old Dao, what expression do you have?"

"I'm sighing. I didn't expect you to have such a skill. This cooking tastes better than girls' cooking. It's simply inhuman."

"Hey, you didn't reveal it earlier, otherwise it would be nice to let you cook every day."

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes, "It's not like I'm here to cook, so take it as a compliment."

As he said that, he felt that the heat was almost ready, so he took the braised pork out of the pan and placed it on two plates.

The master here hurriedly carried them, and sent them to the cafeteria one by one.

Then Yang Xiaotao prepared to boil the fish.

"Oh, I won't be able to eat such delicious food in the future."

"It's okay, when you go to Forty-Nine City, I'll cook you something more delicious."

Yang Xiaotao said indifferently, Zhang Laodao shook his head, "I'm afraid I won't have that chance."

"What do you mean?"

"The above two days are reviewing your matter, and it is estimated that the review is almost done, and it will only be these two days."

"You mean we're leaving?"

"Nine times out of ten."

In the base office.

Director Huang held the phone with a serious expression, and his mouth was dry.

"Leader, we need him."

"His technology and ability are fully qualified for the tasks here, and even with his joining, we can save manpower and material resources..."

Director Huang spoke seriously, but the phone on the other side remained silent.

It wasn't until Director Huang finished speaking that a hoarse voice slowly sounded.

"Old Huang, I know your intentions, but..."

"Let me tell you, we can't keep him."

"Why? Isn't our work important?"

"important!"

"But the motherland needs too many places. Some things, I can't tell you. But continuing to let him here, the contribution is far less than going back."

After the voice on the other end of the phone finished speaking, Director Huang opened his mouth in astonishment. Is there anything more that needs him?
What the hell is this guy doing?

"Leader, I see."

Director Huang said bitterly.

He didn't go into it, these things may involve confidentiality, and he knows the regulations here.

After hanging up the phone, Director Huang sat on the stool and sighed in disappointment.

However, Director Huang soon regained his spirits. The work here was completed, but it was only the first step of the Long March.

In another experimental site, a failure of the deformation of the shell case was exposed, and they will go there to help in a short time.

To be honest, he really wanted to take Yang Xiaotao there, just to help solve the problem.

But now it appears that hope has been dashed.

On the other side of the base, in Director Zheng's office.

Director Zheng held the documents approved by his superiors, and he was relieved that all six people had approved the approval.

Obviously, the superior did not agree to his request and released Yang Xiaotao.

And he knew a thing or two about the reasons for this.

There was a knock on the door, and before he could speak, Father Ran walked in.

Ever since he left Yang Xiaotao in response to his superiors, although Ran's father did not turn his back on him, his attitude these days showed that I am angry with you, don't talk to me.

"Okay, don't give me this trick."

Director Zheng said angrily, he should discuss this matter with Ran's father.

Ran's father sat on the stool, and before he could speak, Director Zheng handed over the document first.

"Hey, let's take a look, it's all released. Now you can rest assured."

Father Ran took the document, quickly found the page on Yang Xiaotao, read it twice, and finally nodded slightly.

But then he frowned again, "Did the superior let it go?"

"I'm going to the west here, and I heard that there is something wrong with the shell of the thing again, so I let it go so easily?"

Ran's father suddenly changed his attitude, making Director Zheng roll his eyes.

"I said Lao Ran, what do you mean?"

"I'm afraid that you are the one who stays. Now let him go, and you are complaining about the lack of vision of the leader here. What do you mean? Let me tell you something."

Ran's father was also questioned, but he still felt that it would be better to go home and take care of the family.

But I also felt that it would be more normal for a son-in-law like Yang Xiaotao to stay.

As if seeing through his mind, Director Zheng leaned forward and leaned over gently, "Old Ran, I'm asking about this matter."

"He said that he called up the phone last time, and then there was no sound."

"Later, I heard that the higher-ups held a special meeting to discuss his future. But in the end, he still left here."

"Old Ran, the big thing your son-in-law did is obviously not this one."

Father Ran opened his mouth to digest the meaning of the words.

It took a long time to come back to my senses, "Fart, what big thing can be bigger than what we are doing now?"

"I guess he is not needed, so I let him go."

Ran's father had an affirmative expression on his face. Director Zheng also knew that this was his father-in-law's little pride, so he didn't say anything.

"Okay, this thing will be distributed tomorrow. I guess it will leave soon."

"How about you send it?"

After Director Zheng finished speaking, Ran's father immediately shook his head, "I'm not going, I don't know what to say when we meet, I'm going to the west for a meeting tomorrow. It's better to let him go early."

After he finished speaking, he got up and walked out.

As if to let go of one thing, Ran's father left very fast this time.

Director Zheng shook his head, knowing that Lao Ran was afraid of another misfortune, so he put away the documents without saying much.

"Oh, this kid, after all, he didn't stay behind."

The helplessness of the superiors when conveying instructions sounded in my ears again. People from the Ministry of Agriculture, people from the northwest, people from Sijiu City, and even people from the southern military region all greeted. This group of people together has a lot of energy.

Who would have thought that such an ordinary young man would have such a great ability to attract the attention of so many adults.

It is simply unbelievable.

Turn off the lights, leave the office and go back to bed.

On the other side, in the resident cafeteria, the plates were cleaned up, and even the fish heads were chewed and eaten into the stomach.

After eating, everyone was not in a hurry to leave, they just sat in the cafeteria, chatting and joking with a group of people.

"Xiao Yang, where did you get your skills?"

Chen Chonghan was picking his teeth with a small wooden stick. Sitting in front of Yang Xiaotao, he was always curious. Of course, more of his curiosity was helplessness.

It is no better than a fitter, and now people can still catch fish. In this era of scarcity of supplies, being able to catch fish means that there is food, and they can subsidize the family. This is not a small skill.

And it's not enough to catch fish, this guy also has good cooking skills, it's really incomparable.

"Self-taught."

"Blow it and you'll do it. I've asked about it. As far as your skill is concerned, let alone learning it by yourself, even an ordinary master can't teach it."

"believe or not."

"Hey, let's discuss, you can teach me how to cook braised pork."

"What you said is that ordinary masters can't teach them well, and you are obviously stealing them."

"Hey, don't we have a good relationship? Besides, I will cook it for my family after I learn it, and I won't take your job."

Chen Chonghan hurriedly said, "Besides, you don't want to eat this bowl of rice."

"That's no good, I promised the master, I can't pass on the secret at will."

"Didn't you just say that you were born self-taught?"

"Uh, I got caught by you." Yang Xiaotao was speechless, looked at Chen Chonghan and shook his head helplessly, "I can see you, but I will need you in the future."

"Don't worry, it's absolutely unambiguous."

Chen Chonghan patted his chest to assure.

Yang Xiaotao told him the recipe of braised pork, and Chen Chonghan hurried back to the room to find a paper to write it down.

After leaving here, Shen Rong came over to have a chat with Yang Xiaotao. He also realized that these people were leaving, and Yang Xiaotao was naturally willing to establish a good relationship with them.

Liu Daming also came over, and the three talked for a while.

Shen Rong said that he had already made an agreement with his family that his wife would bring the child to see Liu Daming tomorrow, which made the old man very excited.

After everyone dispersed, Yang Xiaotao returned to his residence, lay on the bed, and checked that the time was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

The sound of Liu Daming turning over things came from next door. It is estimated that he is going to see his grandson tomorrow, and he is preparing a gift for meeting.

Smiling in my heart, I closed my eyes and mentally contacted Xiao Wei.

After a while, the image of Ran Qiuye appeared in his mind.

In the picture, Ran Qiuye is sleeping soundly, and Xiao Duanwu beside him is covered with a quilt, sleeping soundly.

Seeing this picture, the corners of Yang Xiaotao's mouth curled up, and he gradually fell asleep.

The next day, when he woke up early in the morning, Yang Xiaotao washed up and was going to find Mr. Zhang to see if he could go out again today.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I found Zhang Laodao, I saw him in a hurry and asked what was going on.

Seeing that it was Yang Xiaotao, Zhang Laodao stopped and said a few words.

He received a call from Director Huang early in the morning and organized people to go to other places to perform tasks.

Surprised, Yang Xiaotao asked hastily. "What about us?"

"Stay where you are, someone will arrange for you."

Zhang Laodao glanced at Yang Xiaotao, with reluctance showing on his face, but it quickly dissipated, "I wanted to get together again, but I didn't expect it to be like this."

"In the future, if I have a chance, I will go to Sijiu City to find you. Don't forget the old man!"

Yang Xiaotao came to his senses and nodded solemnly.

At this time, Shen Rong also came in from the outside, holding a little boy, followed by a woman, leading a boy.

"Group Leader Shen."

"Xiaotao, come, this is my daughter-in-law, Li Xiuming."

"This is Brother Xiaotao."

Yang Xiaotao hurried forward, "Hi sister-in-law."

"Hi brother Xiaotao."

The woman looks like a woman from Northwest China, her skin is not white but she is healthy, and she has a kind smile when she speaks, which is very kind.

"Call uncle."

"Hello, uncle."

The two children didn't recognize their birth, and they started yelling. Yang Xiaotao nodded and took out a handful of white rabbit toffee from his pocket. Shen Rong saw that he ate it last time, but he didn't expect Yang Xiaotao to keep it until now.

The two children didn't know what it was, Shen Rong asked them to take it, "They haven't been out yet, and they haven't seen it."

Yang Xiaotao reached out and stroked the heads of the two children, "In the future, when you go to Sijiu City, uncle will take you to watch the flag raising and eat a lot of delicious food."

The two children smiled, and the mother on the side also loved them.

"Team leader, will sister-in-law also come with you?"

When Yang Xiaotao saw the small burden on Li Xiuming's back, Shen Rong nodded slightly.

"No way, this time I went far away, there happened to be a family elementary school there, let the two of them go to school."

Yang Xiaotao nodded.

It is also a good choice to bring the child with you, at least you don't have to suffer from lovesickness.
