Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 696 Take the Children Home
"Master, I have an idea."

After walking for a while, Qin Huairu suddenly spoke.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai didn't speak, he said what was in his mind, "I want Xiao Huaihua to recognize you as a godfather. Do you think it's okay?"

"what?"

"Little pagoda tree?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned, then thought about it.

If it was a stick, he would still consider it, but Xiaohuaihua is such a girl.

Of course, he also knows that stick stems are the lifeblood of Jia Zhang's family, and they must be closely watched. This is probably why Qin Huairu didn't say anything.

As for Qin Huairu's thoughts, he can guess a thing or two.

"Let's go back and talk."

Yi Zhonghai didn't agree. In his mind, it's better for him to be his own.

But what if you can't give birth?

This choice, but it is not bad, has brought the relationship between the two closer, and it makes sense to move around in the future.

Qin Huairu nodded.

What she wants to do most now is to let her three children grow up healthily, and not to be 'involved' by her.

The two were walking, passing a corner, and suddenly saw a scruffy figure in front of them, who looked somewhat familiar.

"Stick? Xiaodang?"

When Qin Huairu saw it, she immediately called out.

In front, the stickman who was holding money to buy candy balls, heard a familiar voice, and immediately turned his head.

"mom!"

As he said that, he ran over, followed by Xiao Dang with a candy ball.

Qin Huairu picked up the two children, buried her head deeply between the children, and hugged her tightly.

"Bang, Xiao Dang, why are you two here?"

"Grandma is looking at little Sophora japonica, we are both hungry, so we went out to look for something to eat."

As Bang Geng said, Qin Huairu's face immediately turned cold, this is his own grandson, Jia Zhang is not a human being, even his own grandson is treated harshly.

There was a surge of anger in my heart.

Xiao Dang straightened his clothes, looking at his scruffy face and whips scattered, Qin Huairu felt even more distressed.

"Mom, where have you been? Grandma said that you don't want us anymore and live a good life by yourself."

"Mom, Xiaodang will give you candy balls, please don't leave Xiaodang, okay?"

After speaking, he picked up a sugar ball and put one in Qin Huairu's mouth.

Qin Huairu burst into tears, "Xiao Zhen is really good. Don't listen to your grandma's nonsense, mom has been busy for a few days, and she won't be in the future."

"Go, Mom will take you home."

As he said that, he took Xiao Dang's hand and prepared to go back.

Behind him, Yi Zhonghai was inexplicably moved when he saw it.

This is a child connected by blood.

"Bang, where did you get the money? Grandma gave it?"

After walking two steps, Qin Huairu suddenly thought of something and asked with a frown.

She knew that the family had no money, and even if there was, it was Jia Zhang's private money, which probably wasn't much.

What's more, Mrs. Jia Zhang watched closely. She was afraid that the stick would steal the money, so she hurriedly asked.

"It wasn't from grandma."

Xiao Dang said happily, BangGou immediately said, "Xiao Dang, don't talk nonsense."

Qin Huairu immediately turned cold, knowing that the money came from a wrong path.

Yi Zhonghai on the side also looked disappointed when he looked at the stick.

Stealing things at such a young age will not be a filial person when you grow up.

"Bang, tell Mom. Where did the money come from?"

The stick stem's eyes flickered.

"Is it stolen?"

"No."

Stick immediately shouted, "I got it by selling chickens."

"Sell chicken?"

"Yes, I picked up a dead chicken outside the yard and bought it for fifty cents."

Qin Huairu was dubious, and looked at the stick seriously, while Yi Zhonghai frowned, he didn't believe that the chicken would die for no reason and be picked up by this kid.

Still selling money, dare to say.

Maybe it's this kid who killed him.

It's just that now they don't care about it anymore.

"What about the money?"

Qin Huairu took this matter to heart, and asked after returning to the yard.

Reluctantly, Bang Geng took out a handful of money, and Qin Huairu counted it, forty-two cents, which was eight cents.

"What did you buy?"

"The food we buy is full of steamed buns at home, we can't get enough to eat at all." Bang Geng pouted, and Xiao Dang beside him also nodded.

Qin Huairu took a deep breath, took out another two cents, a child gave one cent, and then put the rest of the money in his pocket.

"Master."

Yi Zhonghai didn't respond, "Let's go."

Seeing this, Qin Huairu took Stick Xiaodang and walked back together.

The truck screeched along on the Gobi, and a gust of wind blew up a cloud of dust.

Yang Xiaotao was sitting in the pocket of the car, while Liu Daming was leaning on the luggage, swaying as the car swayed.

"Hey, my old bones finally got my wish."

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao put down his backpack and leaned over, "What wish?"

"When I left Sijiu City, I wanted to come out to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. On the way, I have seen great rivers and mountains, and now I have come here, the deserted Gobi. I took a bicycle, a train, haha. It's worth it."

The more Liu Daming talked, the more excited he became, and Tang Shanlin from the side came over, "The only regret is that I didn't stay."

"Go and go, you are everywhere, is that called regret? That is called not good at learning, and people look down on you."

"Hey, you're right. I didn't expect that our old bones are about to sink into the ground, and we can still walk around. This life is worth it."

The two were talking together, Yang Xiaotao saw it.

The face-to-heart discord when we met before, I didn't expect that after nearly half a year of getting along, the relationship would be eased, and the existence of talking for a long time to relieve boredom.

The same is true for several other people in the carriage.

While the car was swaying and enjoying the scene without people, suddenly a jeep ran over from the side.

The accompanying guards on the truck immediately raised their guns, and the captain of the co-pilot also leaned over and took out his pistol.

The jeep was extremely fast, approaching [-] meters in the blink of an eye, without slowing down, and rushed directly in front of the truck.

"parking."

Squeak
The car stopped, and the jeep also stopped tens of meters ahead.

At this time, one person got on and off the jeep, and ran to the truck quickly, saluted, and negotiated with the team leader.

Several people in the car looked at each other, feeling suspicious.

It's not like something happened.

After a while, the captain confirmed the other party's information and led the people over.

"Comrade Yang Xiaotao. Come down, please."

Liu Daming and the others looked at Yang Xiaotao. Yang Xiaotao didn't know what was going on, so he had to jump off the truck and come to the side.

"Hello, you are Teacher Yang."

The person who came was a young man, wearing a military overcoat, with red ribbons wrapped around his arms, his face was immature, but his smile was innocent.

Just calling him Teacher Yang made Yang Xiaotao feel a little strange.

"Hello, comrade."

"Teacher Yang, I am the clerk of Farm No. 714. I was ordered to pick you up at the base this time, but the car had a problem halfway and I was late, so I took a shortcut and came to see you."

"This is given to you by your superiors, please have a look."

As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his backpack and handed it to Yang Xiaotao.

Just looking at the name on the envelope, Gao Yufeng, Yang Xiaotao's heart tightened.

Open it and look at it, then take a deep breath and close it slowly.

The letter didn't say what he was doing specifically, but he was going to visit the children in the village.

I have a decision in my mind.

"Comrade, please wait a moment."

After finishing talking and coming to the car, "Gong Liu."

Liu Daming hurried down.

"Liu Gong, please go back and report my family's safety. I still have tasks here."

"Any more tasks?"

"Yes, I'm going to pick up the kids and go home."

Liu Daming wondered, where did the children come from?
Chen Chonghan and the others also gathered together, they came together, of course they wanted to go back together.

It was inconvenient for Yang Xiaotao to tell them, after all, the matter of high-yielding corn needed to be kept secret.

"Liu Gong, just go back and tell my wife that. She will understand."

"As for the rolling mill, it is said that someone else is working."

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's firmness, Liu Daming didn't ask any more questions, "Then take care."

"I'll wait for you to go back for the New Year in Forty-Nine City."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, "Okay, I will wish you New Year's greetings then."

After speaking, Liu Daming got on the truck again, and everyone waved goodbye to Yang Xiaotao.

Watching the truck continue to go north, Yang Xiaotao put his luggage on the jeep.

"Comrade, where are we going?"

"Northwest, where the wind blows!"

Rolling mill

At noon, the gate was full of greeters.

Unlike the last time, this time it was more enthusiastic.

And there was one more person standing in front.

Wang Fuhan and Yang Youning stood together, with Chen Gong and Zhao Chuanjun behind them.

Although the two were close, they didn't communicate much.

Even when the eyes were not easily intertwined, there was no other expression on his face, and he quickly moved away.

Banners were pulled up on the rolling mill behind him, and welcome people stood on both sides of the road. Under the organization of propaganda, they were on standby at any time and applauded enthusiastically.

After the crowd, Sun Guo and other directors gathered together again.

"Old Sun, this posture is bigger than last time, who is here?"

"Don't ask me, you go to Lao Wang."

Sun Guo shook his head and pushed Director Huang to Wang Guodong's side.

When everyone looked over, they saw that Wang Guodong, who was usually bold and forthright, was very serious today. Seeing everyone looking over, Wang Guodong just shook his head and didn't say anything.

Several people thought that he didn't know, but they didn't want to, they just didn't want to say it.

Afraid to say it, it will hit everyone.

Sun Guo glanced at Wang Guodong, feeling helpless as well.

The situation is stronger than people, and people can't help it at all.

Dong dong dong

Suddenly, the drum sounded at the door, and everyone was shocked and looked outside.

Two jeeps stopped one after another.

The first to come down was Liu Huaimin, whom everyone knew.

Coming down from the back was a middle-aged man whose face looked younger than Liu Huaimin's. He was wearing a woolen overcoat and leather shoes on his feet. The rolling mill is coming.

"Director Zhang, you are welcome to inspect the rolling mill."

Wang Fuhan came to Director Zhang immediately and shook hands enthusiastically.

Director Zhang nodded slightly, and then Yang Youning also came up to shake hands.

At this time, Wang Fuhan looked at Liu Huaimin and showed a warm smile.

After everyone saw it, Wang Fuhan led the way to the office.

When they came to the office, Director Zhang sat at the top, Liu Huaimin at the bottom, and Wang Fuhan, Yang Youning and Chen Gong sat aside.

"I came this time to read out the appointment under the instruction of the superior. Of course, I should have come yesterday, but I was delayed by some things."

"However, this is also good. You can meet in advance and get in touch with each other, so that you can work together in the future."

Director Zhang spoke casually, as if he didn't know what happened in the rolling mill.

Liu Huaimin was drinking water and did not speak.

He came here this time purely because he was drawn to serve as the backdrop, and it was also for Wang Fuhan, his successor.

Hearing what Director Zhang said, Yang Youning put on a smile on his face, "Leader, please rest assured, we will definitely cooperate with Secretary Wang's work."

"We also believe that under the leadership of the leaders, the rolling mill will continue to achieve higher and better results and make contributions to the people and the country."

Director Zhang glanced at Yang Youning, then nodded.

"It's good that comrades have this kind of ideological awareness. They are all old revolutionaries for many years. We should take a long-term view of problems and think more about the country..."

Half an hour later, Yang Youning and others left the office and followed Liu Huaimin to the factory director's office.

In the room, only Wang Fuhan and Director Zhang were left.

So, the two offices separated by the corridor were closed tightly.

Half an hour later, a group of people sat down in the auditorium.

Yu Haitang stood aside, facing the participants in the rolling mill with a voice full of enthusiasm.

"Next, applause is welcome. Director Zhang is speaking to everyone."

Bang bang bang bang
Below, Sun Guo and others applauded, and then watched Director Zhang stand up kindly.

"Hello, comrades!"

"I came to the rolling mill today and saw the workers who contributed to the country's construction. Your enthusiasm..."

Papapa

"Here, I read the letter of appointment from my superiors to Comrade Wang Fuhan..."

Papapa

"I hope that under the leadership of Comrade Wang Fuhan and a group of leaders, the rolling mill will achieve greater glory."

Papapa

"Next, let's welcome the rolling mill with warm applause. Secretary Wang will give a speech to everyone."

Papapa

"Comrades, as cultivators on the road of revolution..."

"I hope that everyone can work hard and plain, be diligent and frugal, devote full enthusiasm to the construction of the motherland, and realize the rejuvenation of the great nation..."
