Chapter 1535 Hammer and Knife

The next day, it was already dawn when Yang Xiaotao and Lao Jin were woken up by a phone call.

Yang Xiaotao quickly picked up the phone, and it was Wang Dahai on the other end of the phone.

"Brother, the things are already on the way. We will send you as much as we find. It's a transport truck. We have to thank Lao Liu for this..."

A tired voice came from the phone, but Yang Xiaotao was grateful.

"Brother, thank you for your hard work..."

"Hey, it doesn't matter, our relationship is here, it's just a joke!"

"That's right, I'm being pretentious. Let's find a day and prepare some wine!"

"I'm just waiting for your words! By the way, if it's not enough, we'll find it for you!"

"good!"

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xiaotao calmed down.

"How about it?"

Lao Jin asked, and Yang Xiaotao nodded, "It seems that we have found a lot. The train started to leave last night, and we will probably arrive at noon!"

After Yang Xiaotao went out, "I'll arrange for someone to guide them."

Lao Jin nodded after listening.

At noon.

Yang Xiaotao and Lao Jin drove out of the city, and not long after they saw a truck appearing on the road, the Yellow River Heavy Truck.

The straw at the back of the carriage was filled to the brim.

The two of them waved quickly, and then the car stopped.

The seven trucks following behind stopped one after another.

A person jumped out of the leading car first. Yang Xiaotao looked at it and immediately stepped forward.

"Chief Huo, thank you for your hard work."

Yang Xiaotao held hands. This person was Huo Lin, the security section chief of Quancheng No. 1 Machinery Factory.

The former section chief has been promoted because of his meritorious service in assisting Director Yu in arresting the enemy.

"Mr. Yang!"

Chief Huo nodded, "We are the first batch of convoys. The factory director is afraid of delaying you, so he asked us to set off overnight."

"There will be a second batch later."

"Right now, the entire Quancheng City is collecting straw. After the local leaders heard about it, they issued approval slips to prioritize the needs of the machinery factory..."

As Chief Huo narrated, Yang Xiaotao pressed his lips to his lips, feeling a million emotions in his heart but not knowing how to express them.

He didn't expect that just asking Wang Dahai to do a favor would make the entire Quan City rush for him.

I was both moved and proud.

I am moved by those people and proud that the country has such people.

When Comrade Lao Jin heard this, he was secretly speechless.

I originally thought that Yang Xiaotao was just looking for someone to help, but he just mobilized most of the city to help.

This is not a command mission, it is a simple favor.

A favor can make this happen. If you cooperate with the orders of your superiors, then...

Isn’t that the answer to a single call?

‘This kid seems to have some magic power about him. ’

Lao Jin put away his surprise and stood aside silently looking at the approaching truck.

Is this the model that defeated Shanghai Automobile in the election?

This time, I want to try it myself.

"Thank you, Director Wang, Director Liu and all the comrades workers for me."

"Thank you to the leaders of Quancheng for me!"

"I also want to thank the people of Quancheng for me!"

"Thank you!"

Yang Xiaotao shook Chief Huo's hand and said solemnly.

Chief Huo shook his head and then smiled, "Director Wang expected you to say this before coming here. He also said that if you really want to thank you, go to Quancheng and have a drink then!"

Yang Xiaotao laughed, "Brother Wang said this! He didn't run away!"

Everyone around laughed when they heard this.

Yang Xiaotao then directed everyone to get on the bus and go to Yangjiazhuang.

So, the convoy started again and moved forward along the road.

In the jeep in front of us, Yang Xiaotao was driving, and Director Huo was sitting in the passenger seat.

Comrade Lao Jin also went to the truck behind, saying he wanted to see what was unusual about the Yellow River heavy truck. In fact, he could see that Director Huo had something to tell Yang Xiaotao.

After the car drove for a while, Director Huo said, "Mr. Yang, before you come here, Director Wang asked me to bring you a message."

Yang Xiaotao looked sideways at Section Chief Huo, then nodded, "Say it!"

"Director Wang said, thank you to the comrades in the machinery factory!"

"Why?"

"The factory director said that this time you showed off your muscles, but you beat a lot of people!"

"It shocked Xiao Xiao."

Huo Lin patted his thigh and said happily.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao was silent for a moment, pondering the meaning of Huo Lin's words.

When he went to Quancheng Machinery Factory for the first time, it was this person who picked him up at the station with guards.

At that time, he still remembered that this man was very disdainful when he talked about the deputy director of the machinery factory.

In many subsequent contacts, Huo Lin always stood by Wang Dahai's side with a clear-cut stance.

So this person is Wang Dahai's confidant.

And what he said is probably similar to what he said in other places.

"Thank you!"

Huo Lin was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what it meant, but he quickly recalled something and said immediately, "It should be thank you."

Chief Huo looked at the road ahead and said softly, "Those guys are making a lot of noise in the factory. If Director Wang and Director Liu hadn't built a tight fence, they would have caused trouble a long time ago."

"But they seem to have forgotten that there is our hammer on that blood-red flag!"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly laughed.

Because he thought that on the construction site of the greenhouse, in addition to their hammers, there was also Mr. Yang’s sickle.

And what they do together is not the cooperation of hammer and sickle?

"That's well said!"

Cars arrived at Yangjiazhuang one after another. Yang Dazhuang and others who had been waiting at the entrance of the village saw them and immediately directed them to the threshing floor of the village.

At this moment, the threshing ground had been cleared, and the snow and weeds were pushed aside. Many people were busy leveling the ground.

Soon, the trucks arrived at the threshing ground under the driver's control, and then the straw on the trucks was unloaded.

After all eight trucks were unloaded, Yang Xiaotao took Secretary Huo back to the machinery factory.

After returning to the factory, Yang Xiaotao asked Chang Mingjie to lead people to load the prepared machine tools. After returning to the office, he explained the situation to Liu Huaimin.

"Uncle Liu!"

In the office, Liu Huaimin was busy processing documents. Yang Xiaotao came in and just looked up.

Hearing Yang Xiaotao speak, Liu Huaimin nodded, "You are not busy in Yangjiazhuang, why are you back?"

"I'm here to say hello to you."

After Yang Xiaotao sat down, he told what happened in the countryside in the past two days.

"If there is anything in the machinery factory, you can call. I will come back when it is on the right track."

Yang Xiaotao finished explaining the situation and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Liu Huaimin suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

Yang Xiaotao turned around and saw Liu Huaimin taking out an envelope from the drawer.

"This is for you. It's the reward given by Mr. Chen after the Morning Star engine was made last time."

"Reward? Just me?"

Yang Xiaotao immediately stepped forward to take the envelope, but Liu Huaimin shook his head after hearing it, "Our machinery factory was awarded a second-class collective merit, and you are awarded a first-class individual merit."

"Other comrades who participated in the research and development and production also received corresponding rewards."

Yang Xiaotao was relieved when he heard that others had received them.

As he was about to open the envelope, Liu Huaimin spoke again, "I heard that you asked Lao Yang to go to Changchun to poach people?"

"Ah, Lao Yang told you?"

"Does Lao Yang need to tell me this? The director of the Changchun Research Institute has come to my door and called Lao Xia."

"Why is Lao Yang poaching someone so loudly?"

Yang Xiaotao was speechless. If he had known that such an honor would be exposed, he might as well have done it quietly.

Obviously, Lao Yang has not yet learned the essence of poaching.

"What did Mr. Xia say?"

Yang Xiaotao was more concerned about the following matters. No matter whether the other party knew about it or not, he had to get the person here first.

Liu Huaimin glanced at Yang Xiaotao and said unhappily, "What else can I say? Let's solve it privately."

Then he added, "Respect personal opinions!"

Yang Xiaotao understood as soon as he heard it. It depends on whether the other party is willing to come.

But now he is too busy to take care of his buttocks. How can he have time to visit him three times!

"Forget it, if I get it, I am lucky, if I lose it, I will die!"

Yang Xiaotao sighed and prepared to leave.

Liu Huaimin's voice came from behind again.

"You are so young, why are you sighing? If you have time, go to the workshop and rub the parts for me."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao ran away.

Back in the workshop, Yang Xiaotao handed two bottles of white wine and two packs of cigarettes to Huo Lin and gave them to Wang Dahai to take back.

Then he took out two boxes of cigarettes and stuffed them into Huo Lin.

Then he handed the matter over to Chang Mingjie, and he had to go back to Yangjiazhuang to see the situation.

…

Bringing Comrade Lao Jin with them, when they returned to Yangjiazhuang again, a long line of trucks came from outside the village.

When they got closer, they found that some trucks came from Quancheng to transport straw, some from the first branch to transport steel pipe racks, and some from the timber factory to transport wooden boxes.

All three parties came together, and as a result, there was only one road into the village. After the snow, the road was muddy, and many cars were stuck on the road.

Yang Xiaotao got off the car and looked at Yang Dazhuang who was in a state of panic in front of him, and immediately stepped forward to ask about the situation.

"Uncle Dazhuang, go and arrange for someone to take over, and transport the steel pipe racks directly to the school playground."

"Put the wooden boxes in the brigade headquarters, and the straw is still in the threshing ground."

"Leave this to me!"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao coming, Yang Dazhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned around to make arrangements.

Yang Xiaotao stood at the intersection and then served as a traffic officer.

Just standing by the road and looking at the potholes on the road, he secretly decided in his heart that he must repair the road when he had time.

If you want to develop, you must build roads.

Otherwise, how can we go when it rains and snows?

In the evening, under the command of Yang Xiaotao, the task was finally completed.

After unloading the goods, the car returned to the original route, but Yangjiazhuang was busy.

In the school, Yang Xiaotao led people to sort out the brackets.

This time, the first branch factory only delivered six sets of greenhouse brackets according to the plan, but they were mixed together after delivery, which required everyone to sort them out.

Here, Yang Xiaotao led people to sort out, and on the threshing ground, a group of people were using carts to transport bundles of straw to the village.

In the village, every household lit a kerosene lamp and made straw curtains overnight.

Under the lamp, Grandpa Yang was holding straw and fiddling with it on the straw rope rack. As his rough fingers twisted, a thin and long straw rope soon appeared in front of him.

Next to Grandpa, there were circles of finished straw ropes.

Lao Jin was learning on the side, but the straw ropes he made were not of the same thickness and were easy to break.

Ms. Cui on the side complained a lot.

But Lao Jin ignored him and continued to study seriously.

He did a lot of work during this trip to the old city, but his body was much more relaxed, and he slept more soundly!

He even suddenly felt that this kind of life was more interesting than reading newspapers and walking around the streets in Shanghai.

On the other side, Ran Qiuye and Ms. Cui were tying the sorted straw together with straw ropes, and several circles had been rolled up behind them.

Each bunch of straw was tied with two ropes, Ran Qiuye tied the top and Ms. Cui tied the bottom, and the two worked together quickly.

In front, Zhang Qing was responsible for sorting the straw and then passing it to the two.

As for the three boys at home, they were rolling on the straw at the moment. With Duanwu as their big brother, how could they be quiet?

But I didn't want to take care of them at this time, so I let them play by themselves.

"Teacher Ran, are you done?"

There was a shout from the door. Ran Qiuye took a look and saw that it was the one responsible for transporting the straw.

He looked back and saw that the curtain was obviously not long enough, and then shouted.

"Not yet, wait for the next time!"

"Okay!"

After the man finished speaking, he pulled the cart to the next house. Soon, the sound of Yang Dazhuang's family came from next door, which made the people in the house speed up again.

They were all from the same village. If too many were left behind, it would be a shame.

Only Master Yang worked slowly, and from time to time he took a puff of his pipe, and then chatted with Comrade Lao Jin, and the rhythm was very stable.
