Night falls.
Yang Xiaotao got out of the car, waved to Liu Feng who was driving, and the latter smiled and watched Yang Xiaotao walk into the courtyard before driving away.
After passing through the hanging flower gate, Yang Xiaotao glanced around the courtyard, but couldn't find any familiar figures.
Rongrong is usually in the yard at this time, but I didn't see her today, which is really strange.
However, Yang Xiaotao was not worried about the other party's safety. With Xiaowei around, the safety of the children in the family could be guaranteed.
Moreover, there are also comrades in charge of internal affairs on the outside. If problems still occur, then there is definitely something fishy going on.
After passing the big locust tree, Wangcai was lying in the shade. Hearing the sound, he looked up at Yang Xiaotao, then quickly got up and ran over. Over the past ten years, Wangcai's body had not weakened but had become stronger.
In contrast, Hei Niu is now in her twilight years and rarely goes out.
Yang Xiaotao also wanted Xiaowei's help, but it was no use at all.
Not only that, Xiao Wei is just an elf, not a fairy.
That's why Wangcai's sons haven't increased in number over the years, but his grandsons have increased quite a bit.
Yu Zecheng mentioned last time that the dog brigade in the internal affairs department had added about ten more dogs, saying that the output of military dogs was getting higher and higher.
Patting the dog's head, Yang Xiaotao strode into the yard.
Wangcai shook its head behind them, sensing that its owner was in a good mood today, so it went back to its kennel and lay down next to Heiniu.
Chop chop chop
As soon as he entered the door, he heard the sound of chopping vegetables coming from the kitchen. Yang Xiaotao put down his bag and went into the kitchen, where he saw Ran Qiuye preparing dinner.
Hearing footsteps behind her, Ran Qiuye said without turning her head, "Why are you back so early today!"
Then she was pulled into the arms of the person behind her. "Stop fooling around, I'm chopping vegetables!"
Yang Xiaotao rested his head on Ran Qiuye's shoulder, reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, feeling the weight on his arm, and silently closed his eyes.
A man pursues many things throughout his life.
But the one I'm holding in my arms right now is definitely the one I can't let go of the most.
At least he can't let go.
Ran Qiuye leaned against Yang Xiaotao's chest, touched her arm, and then asked, "Are you tired?"
"Yeah, a little."
"Shall I give you a massage tonight?"
"Ok!"
"Go to bed early, don't stay up late."
"Ah."
"How about we take a break?"
"No, I have a ton of things to do."
The two embraced and poured their hearts out to each other.
After a long while, the sound of a bicycle being put down came from outside the house. Only then did Yang Xiaotao let go and roll up his sleeves to prepare to help.
"Dad, Mom!"
Miao Miao's voice came from the doorway. Yang Xiaotao turned around and saw that it was Miao Miao.
"Jianhua, why are you back today?"
Ran Qiuye stepped forward and took the schoolbag from Miaomiao's hand, "It's just in time to go home for dinner."
Miao Miao took Ran Qiuye's arm and said, "Mom, school let out early today. The teacher said we could study at school or go home, so I rode my bike back."
"Dad, you're back pretty early too."
Yang Xiaotao turned around and smiled, "I'm going to a meeting, I'll be back when it's over."
"Where are they during the Dragon Boat Festival?"
Miao Miao searched the house and found that apart from Dudu playing in the yard, the other three were not at home.
Yang Xiaotao then remembered something and looked at Ran Qiuye beside him.
"Yueyue went to the library, she should be back soon."
"I went to Mao'er Hutong with Rongrong for the Dragon Boat Festival."
"Is Alphat back?" Yang Xiaotao asked.
"Yes, I've been at home the whole time. I said I was going to go and take a look."
"By the way, I heard that Mosidov is coming. You should prepare some gifts for him, and we can go and visit him when we have some free time."
As the two were talking, Miao Miao picked up a bucket from the house and began watering the vegetable garden.
"Miss."
Yueyue walked in from outside and saw Miaomiao working.
Seeing Yueyue carrying two books, Miaomiao quickly stepped forward and asked, "Did you go to the library by yourself?"
"Yes, eldest sister."
Yueyue smiled and patted her second sister's head. "If you want to go in the future, just tell me, and I'll take you there on my bike."
Yueyue nodded, then smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing much. You can just take a bus directly there."
"Then you should be careful."
As they talked, Yueyue put down her book and helped water the flowers.
A little while later, Duanwu and Rongrong ran in from outside, followed by Xingxing and Jiajia.
"Sister Miao Miao".
Tong Jiajia ran up to Miao Miao as soon as she saw her, her eyes narrowing into slits.
My father said that the eldest sister of the Yang family is really good at martial arts, and she is also good at studying. She is my role model.
"Jiajia!"
"Sister Yueyue!"
"Jia Jia."
Miao Miao led Yueyue forward to meet them, while Xingxing, behind them, shook her head and walked into the yard.
Just then, Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye came out.
"Uncle Yang, Aunt Ran, we've come to freeload a meal."
Tong Jiajia was not polite at all, but Xingxing noticed that the two of them looked a little unnatural.
"Uncle Yang, Aunt Ran."
Yang Xiaotao nodded to the children, "Perfect timing, it'll be ready soon, wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Ran Qiuye smiled and stepped forward, not forgetting to take Xingxing and Jiajia's hands and lead them into the house.
Duanwu and Rongrong were at the very back.
"Big brother, don't you think Mom is biased?"
Rongrong pouted as she looked at Xingxing and Jiajia, who were being pulled into the house.
Duanwu glanced at Rongrong after hearing this, and asked, "So, do you think Dad is biased?"
Rongrong's eyes darted around as she nodded earnestly and said, "Of course he's biased. Dad loves my eldest sister the most."
"We don't care about or love anyone."
"You're talking nonsense."
I won't fall for that at Dragon Boat Festival. "You're the one Dad favors the most."
"Who among us dares to fail the exam?"
At this point, Rongrong immediately stopped talking and ran into the kitchen to hug Yang Xiaotao's arm, saying, "Dad, you've worked so hard, I'll do this."
"Wow, there's braised pork too! Dad, you're the best dad ever!"
Duanwu at the door pursed her lips speechlessly; this girl's words were too sweet.
"Sycophant!" came a muttering voice from behind. Duanwu turned around and saw it was Xiaowu Dudu.
“You’re right, we can’t follow her example in the future.”
"A real man should have backbone and not bow down for a pittance."
I felt it was necessary to set an example for my younger brother during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Before she could finish speaking, Dudu rushed into the kitchen.
"Dad, let me do it, let me do it, my chopsticks."
Duanwu was completely bewildered after hearing this in the courtyard.
What kind of brothers and sisters are these?
"Big brother, please help me."
Yueyue saw Duanwu standing in the yard and quickly called out to him.
When I came to my senses during the Dragon Boat Festival, I saw Yueyue carrying a fruit basket and picking persimmons, so I quickly went over to help her.
At dinner time, a group of children took up most of the table.
With the constant clatter of bowls and chopsticks, the food on the table was quickly devoured.
Yang Xiaotao brewed a pot of tea and sat in the courtyard with Old Ye and the old Taoist priest.
"Can computer production keep up?"
After a few words, the three of them turned the conversation to work.
When Elder Ye asked, Yang Xiaotao nodded and said, "We can basically meet the demand for orders now, but it will be difficult to expand further."
How much is it now?
The old Taoist priest asked curiously, "Didn't we have a lot of stock?"
Yang Xiaotao smiled wryly, "That's because you don't know how much foreign countries have asked for."
"How many?"
Yang Xiaotao didn't say it directly, but asked, "Guess?"
The old Taoist rolled his eyes. "What's there to guess? There's nothing to guess about this."
"Tell us quickly, let us have a laugh too."
Old Ye, who was standing to the side, also looked at Yang Xiaotao, clearly wanting to know the current situation.
Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaotao directly held up three fingers and said, "France made a purchase request some time ago, for about one million units. Of course, this is just a preliminary plan, and the outcome is still uncertain."
"Moreover, the sea route to France is a bit long, so air freight is being considered domestically."
"Then there's the alliance. This time they also ordered a million units, probably because they were afraid of running out of stock if they didn't tell us sooner."
"There are also places with good relations, such as the desert and Persia, where there are more than a million units in total. In short, the current mission output is only more than that."
After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, both of them looked surprised.
They had expected there to be many, but they never imagined there would be so many.
The old man had already heard about what was going on in France, so he said, "France has been one of our biggest customers these days. Whenever they get something good, these guys never let it go."
Old Ye sighed, "I remember that an institution was set up in the capital of France back then, you know about that, right?"
Yang Xiaotao nodded, "I heard from President Peng that it's a coordinating committee."
Seeing the old Taoist's suspicion, Yang Xiaotao explained, "This committee was an organization established in 1949, led by the United States and with the participation of seventeen countries, including Britain, France, and Japan."
"Its essence is to block the entry of high technology into the country and control the export of strategic materials, attempting to suppress our scientific and economic development in this way."
"In 1952, a special committee was established to target us, and we were on the embargo list even more than the Alliance."
"This includes military equipment, cutting-edge technology products, and rare materials. According to Mr. Peng, there are tens of thousands of items in this collection."
Upon hearing Yang Xiaotao's explanation, the old Taoist priest nearly slammed his fist on the table, and Elder Ye, who was standing to the side, also became serious.
"Damn it, these guys start blocking us when they don't need us, but when they do need us they can't wait to buy us. They're like dogs."
The old Taoist was cursing when the Heavenly Venerable next to him heard the noise and wagged his tail and ran over. The old Taoist waved his hand again, and the Heavenly Venerable ran off to play with Wangwang.
Old Ye sighed, "Those guys have never even looked at us properly."
"It was true before, it is true now, and it will not change in the future."
"The only thing we can change is to become stronger."
"So powerful that they don't dare to bare their teeth in front of us, whether they look at us directly or not."
"Otherwise, break their legs."
Yang Xiaotao nodded in agreement, then smiled and said, "Actually, their blockade isn't necessarily a bad thing."
"Look, they've blocked access to semiconductor materials."
"As it turned out, we figured it out ourselves, and the quality of ours was higher and better than that of the Alliance's."
"They wouldn't let us develop precision machine tools, and what was the result?"
"Our master craftsmen are no less skilled than machine tool makers, and the CNC machine tools we produce are leading the domestic industry to take off step by step."
"They tried to trip us up in aerospace, but we swiftly developed satellites, created the Baiju satellite, and now we've even successfully developed satellite phones. It's clear who's stronger."
"They're still imposing an embargo on computers, but now they'd love for us to buy more for them."
With each word Yang Xiaotao spoke, the wrinkles on Old Ye's face deepened, until finally he beamed with joy.
"So the more they blockade us, the more we need to strengthen ourselves."
"Only with such a solid foundation can we achieve great things and become a valuable asset in our hands."
"As for the others, let them block them."
"In the end, we will be able to make anything and have anything."
The old Taoist clapped his hands and laughed, "Well said, well said!"
"The power of the people is immense. Self-reliance and independent innovation are our winning formula."
Old Ye nodded in agreement, "The more we blockade, the stronger we will become."
The old Taoist stroked his beard and sighed, "Looking back over thousands of years, our Chinese ancestors built up one brilliant civilization after another on this land. Back then, they even imposed a blockade on us?"
"Blockade my ass! They're all like savages, how can they compare to us?"
"Our ancestors were able to lead the world without relying on others."
"There's no reason why we should rely on them to develop."
Yang Xiaotao clapped his hands and said, "Old Daoist, although you sometimes talk a lot of nonsense, what you said today is good. It's better than those guys who have drunk foreign ink and don't know their ancestors' surnames."
"Tch, stop beating around the bush and mocking me."
"No, no, there's no need for us to beat around the bush."
"Go to hell."
The two chatted and laughed. Old Ye picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said with deep feeling, "In the development of modern science, we were held back by the ignorant Qing government. If the people are not enlightened, we will be vulnerable to attack."
"But now is the time for us to catch up."
At this point, Old Ye looked at Yang Xiaotao and said, "We're not afraid of a blockade, we're afraid of no one taking the lead!"
"Now that we have you all, and the Nine Departments, what about later?"
Old Master Ye said solemnly, “We must pay attention to the cultivation of talent. If there is no successor, it will be a waste.”
"This matter concerns the success or failure of the future."
Yang Xiaotao nodded. "Don't worry, I've already reported this to my superiors regarding education. At this stage, we'll prioritize ensuring the number of students, selecting talent from a large pool of applicants, and then gradually developing the education system."
Old Master Ye listened without saying much, saying, "It takes ten years to grow a tree, but a hundred years to cultivate a person."
Education is not something that can be decided casually by banging on a table. Ran Qiuye spent nearly ten years working on a rural school, and this time the initial results are promising.
Improving the overall level of education is a long and arduous task.
P.S.: I'm back in my hometown, so typing on my phone is a bit slow.
There will be another chapter later!
