Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 96
In the afternoon, Yang Xiaotao and Zhou Peng went to sign up for the factory protection team.

Regardless of whether you can enter or not, at least you must stand on the right footing.

It is a red heart to prove that one's heart is for the motherland.

If you don't even have this attitude, if you are a young man, if you don't sign up to guard the factory, then you must have something wrong in your heart.

If you don't sign up, there will be problems. In this day and age, the reason is as simple as that.

How could Yang Xiaotao make such a mistake, not to mention that he might not be selected if he applied.

After all, people need to work, right?

After signing up, it was indeed as Yang Xiaotao had imagined. In the whole factory, as long as the age agreed to the requirements, no one was left behind.

Even people like Xu Damao came forward to sign up.

Then follow tomorrow's arrangement in the workshop, distribute the slogans and banners needed tomorrow, and then come to the factory and follow them to the venue.

After a busy afternoon, it was almost six o'clock when Yang Xiaotao returned home.

Take out two bags of instant noodles from the space, pour them into the pot and start cooking.

Ham sausage, eggs, and a box of canned beef, it's dinner.

Maybe it's the day when the salary is paid, or maybe it's the influence of the atmosphere of the National Day, the fragrance in the courtyard today is extraordinarily rich.

Although Shazhu didn't pass the assessment, he already had a lot of salary, plus he was alone on weekdays, ate in the kitchen, and could bring back some leftovers. There were not many places to spend money, so he saved a lot of money.

Today, I also got paid, bought half a catty of pork, fried celery in the evening, drank a little wine by myself, and lived a comfortable life.

"This Yang Xiaotao is really not a thing. He taught others skills casually. This is not a broken rule. How will the master lead the apprentice in the future?"

Silly Zhu's eyes were dim, and he thought that the director of the cafeteria was looking for him this afternoon, asking him to learn from Yang Xiaotao and teach the people in the cafeteria the cooking skills, so that everyone can cook better after learning it, and improve the quality of food for the workers.

After listening to Sha Zhu, he almost gave him a spoon on the spot, can he do that?
Does he dare to do this?

If he did this, not to mention that he lost his ability to eat, he didn't know if he could be the squad leader in the future. If his colleagues heard about it, it would be strange if he didn't break his pots and pans.

The director got a bad nose, and naturally he didn't look good towards Sha Zhu.

Silly Zhu didn't dare to scold the leader, but he hated Yang Xiaotao.

He started scolding Yang Xiaotao in the back kitchen, and many people knew what was going on.

Back in the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao also cursed a few words before he came back. After Yang Xiaotao came back, he hid in the house and didn't go out.

"Damn it, when you hand over all your skills, who will look at you?"

"Humph!"

……

Papapa

Yang Xiaotao was still asleep when he was awakened by the sound of crackling firecrackers, then he checked the time, it was five o'clock in the morning.

Outside, it was already dawn, thinking about today's day, I lay down on the bed again.

"Xiaowei, close the door, close the window!"

Thinking in her heart, Xiaowei at the side immediately opened the window, closed the door and window, the sound in the room gradually died down, and Yang Xiaotao lay down with his eyes closed.

At the gate of the front yard, Yan Fugui got up early, took the firecrackers issued by the street office and set them off.

With a smile on his face, he didn't care about the shouting and cursing in the compound.

In this festival, being able to receive this honor will add a lot of color to his teacher's resume.

I thought to myself, this year's excellent teachers can compete with each other, but they are two catties of fine grain!

As the firecrackers sounded, the sound of firecrackers also sounded in other alleys around, and the crackling was more lively than the Chinese New Year.

At this moment, he still wanted to sleep and couldn't sleep anymore, Yang Xiaotao got up and picked it up, went to the pool in the middle courtyard to get a basin of water, went home to wash, then ate two eggs and drank a pack of walnut milk , I took a telescope, put it on my neck, and went out to the factory.

There were more and more pedestrians on the road, and the people I met seemed to be awake, but when I came to the workshop, I saw red flags fluttering in the wind, and the whole factory was in flames.

The red ones make people feel excited, the red ones can't help themselves, and the red ones make him feel the unique patriotic charm of this era.

Shocked, Yang Xiaotao quickly ran to the square team, and then followed the team to the left and right, and began to assemble and assign tasks.

Wang Fa and the others also came quite early, looking at the binoculars on Yang Xiaotao's neck, Che Wenwei also raised his hand, which he asked someone to borrow on purpose.

Several people have made preparations, otherwise they will not be able to see anything if they are at the back.

Things were properly arranged, and Yang Xiaotao, holding a small red flag in his hand, soon followed the group to Tiananmen Square.

As representatives of the working class, their steel rolling mill was assigned a position not in the front, but it was also a good position where they could see Tiananmen Square.

When I came to the venue, the surrounding area was already full of people. People from Forty-Nine City and people from all over the country covered the entire square.

Standing here, there are people in the front, back, left, and right, with various accents and greetings.

Yang Xiaotao stood in the crowd and looked at the ten high platforms outside Tiananmen Square. At this time, people had already entered to watch.

He is nearly 1.8 meters tall and looks around through a telescope.

Some foreigners also appeared in it, obviously they have made great achievements in diplomacy.

Later, Yang Xiaotao saw the troops participating in the review. Although it was only a part of the troops, the murderous aura emanating from them was even more shocking than putting on airs.

After waiting for more than an hour, the National Day officially began.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao saw a group of people on Tiananmen Square.

In the field of vision, the faces seen in textbooks, on TV, on the screen and even in pictures appear in sequence.

Familiar faces, some can be called out, some can't be called out, but they feel kind.

Especially the few people in front, Yang Xiaotao's heart beat violently after seeing the real person.

This is a model of an era. In his childhood memories, when his grandfathers talked about these people, they were their gods.

And he saw the 'God' with his own eyes today.

The 'God' who looks simple and kind, the 'God' who looks full of wisdom, and the 'God' who looks like he will never forget.

With a firm voice echoing between heaven and earth, everyone below all listened with bated breath.

Yang Xiaotao is the same as the people around him. At this moment, he does not have the pride of a time traveler, nor is he proud of foresight, nor does he have any sense of superiority.

At this moment, like the people around him, he listened to the elder's instruction with excitement and gratitude, listening carefully, with incomparable piety.

If you haven't lived in this era, you don't know how lofty that belief is.

This kind of belief is the belief that rescued them from the suffering of war, the belief that brought them freedom from oppression, and the belief that gave them a way to survive.

Yang Xiaotao suddenly discovered that he was completely assimilated by this era, and his own beliefs slowly grew in his heart.

That is, for this country, for this nation, do your best!do your best!
The passionate music began to sound, and then a team of phalanxes participating in the National Day came one after another.

Yang Xiaotao's thoughts were already chaotic, he simply stopped thinking about it, and stopped pursuing it.

Now he is a worker in a rolling mill.

Zhou Peng's voice came from the side, "Look, it's a cannon."

"There are still tanks, take a look."

"Overhead, there are planes overhead!"

The excited crowd spoke excited words, Yang Xiaotao laughed and shouted loudly, "It's our plane! There will be more in the future!"

"And, there is no need to fly twice!"

……

In the courtyard, under the gatehouse in the front yard.

A group of old women sat in Maza, those who sewed the soles of their shoes, and those who sewed clothes.

In this festive day, everyone talked and laughed.

All the young and old went out to watch the excitement, and the remaining wives and daughters-in-law also put down their goods, taking a rare vacation.

Lou Xiao'e also didn't want to leave the group of the compound, and wandered around the compound when she was free. People in the compound these days also saw her temperament.

Of course, the most important thing is that Lou Xiao'e is generous, and anyone who needs it will warmly help.

Taking advantage of this, the three mothers in the front yard have a good relationship with her.

There is also the second aunt of the middle courtyard, the two families are next door, so the relationship is naturally better.

After breakfast today, Xu Damao hurried out, saying that he was attending the National Day ceremony, but in fact he just watched from afar.

Even so, she was envious in her heart.

With her status, it is difficult to watch it live, not to mention that she has not had a formal job yet.

Qin Huairu from the middle courtyard is growing up, and she will still be lying at home, and Lou Xiaoe doesn't want to disturb her, so she comes to the front yard alone, watching a group of old ladies chatting, and finds a free place to sit down and listen to them. Talking is also very interesting.

Everyone didn't see Lou Xiao'e coming over, and continued with their own topics.

"Old Wang's, how much does Yang Xiaotao pay per month?"

A woman with shoe soles asked in surprise.

The old Wang's needle went in, and then he pulled out the thread, and said, "There is nothing to say about this, the whole factory knows."

Then he smiled proudly, "My guy is from the third workshop. Yang Xiaotao's third-level fitter's salary is 42.5, and he was rewarded with 5 yuan later."

"It adds up to 47.5."

"47 yuan and 5 yuan, that's a lot."

No matter how many times you listen to it, someone will always be surprised.

The three mothers on the side were also surprised, their old man can't earn so much.

"This Yang Xiaotao is the third most in our courtyard."

The young daughter-in-law of the Liu family who was next to her suddenly spoke, and she snapped her fingers, "The first uncle is the most, then the second uncle, and now Yang Xiaotao is the third."

As soon as he finished speaking, the daughter-in-law of the Shen family disagreed and said, "I think Xu Damao's family still has more."

The daughter-in-law of the Liu family immediately became unhappy when she heard the rebuttal. "How is it possible? Xu Damao's projectionist only costs about [-] yuan."

The Shen family said disdainfully, "That's visible income. Every time Xu Damao went to the countryside to watch a movie, didn't he come back with a bag full of local specialties?"

"If you come here several times a month, won't you earn money?"

"Isn't it just some wild mushrooms, chestnuts and so on, how much is it worth, this is less than ten yuan."

The daughter-in-law of the Liu family shook her head in disbelief, and seemed to think of something, "Don't forget, this Yang Xiaotao has a vegetable garden at home. As good as Yang Xiaotao's house, how many are there?"

"What's more, Yang Xiaotao is good at fishing. You haven't seen the water tank in his house, and you've never been free. They are all big fish weighing more than four or five catties."

"Only these two things are much better than local specialties."

The young wives and wives around listened with gusto, and even the daughter-in-law of the Shen family who had a different opinion was persuaded.

After all, what Yang Xiaotao ate all day and what kind of life he lived, he could see clearly in the compound, who wouldn't know how to count.

Lou Xiao'e, who was on the side, wanted to get up and leave when she heard about Yang Xiaotao.

I don't want to have anything to do with that person anymore.

But when I heard about Xu Damao again, I suddenly had an urge to listen to it, and I couldn't move my legs, so I sat aside and listened quietly.
