Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

Chapter 688 Yellow Flame Ignites

In the front yard, Old Yan sat upright on a chair. His children Yan Hui, Yan Jun and Yan Xia sat opposite him. The old lady next door was visiting nearby.

"Well, let me say a few words."

Old Yan coughed lightly and looked around at the children. "New Year should have new plans..."

"It's the new year, we have to make a plan, what are your plans?"

Old Yan gestured a few times on the table and looked at the children.

Yan Hui lowered his head. He knew that this discussion would most likely go against him.

His career is not going well, his family is not at peace, and he has been like an idler at home recently. Even his family members call him a "worm". Since even his family members say so, there is no point in refuting it.

"Third brother, what do you think? The school wants you to go to the countryside? Do you want to go?"

Old Yan looked at Yan Jun. "Do you really want to go?"

Yan Jun was silent for a while before he said: "I don't know!"

“You don’t really want to go, do you?”

Old Yan saw through his thoughts at a glance. "I'll weigh the pros and cons for you."

Old Yan looked at the young Yan Xia, then turned to his eldest brother Yan Hui and asked for his opinion. "What do you think, Boss?"

"No idea." Yan Hui replied immediately.

"Then I will help you analyze a route."

As expected, this was nothing more than asking him to go out and work to earn money.

It turned out to be just as I wished.

He was used to it. "Okay."

"The first thing is to find a job, even if it's just a temporary job, to earn money to support myself.

Lin Xiaotao looked at the candied haws that were a little bent and kindly reminded, "Eat it quickly, or it will melt."

Li Duanyang on the side widened his eyes, extremely greedy.

Wang Qing noticed it and handed over the candied haws. "Li Duanyang, count them. If you count correctly, I'll give you one."

Li Duanyang nodded immediately, stretched out his fingers and started counting.

After walking on the street for a while, Lin Xiaotao and his group arrived at Director Liu's house.

They come in to greet the new year, sit for a while, then leave and continue to visit other places.

It was almost noon when they visited all the relatives and friends nearby.

They went home to eat, and then Lin Xiaotao went out to continue walking.

Along the way, he visited Zhang Yuanshan's home, Yang Youcheng's home, and Li Huaimin's home.

Afterwards, several people made an appointment to go to Zhou Feng's house together.

When I said goodbye and left again, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Lin Xiaotao returned to the courtyard only after sending Zhang Yuanshan home.

The second day of the Chinese New Year was similar, and I spent it hurriedly visiting various places.

On the morning of the third day of the Chinese New Year, Lin Xiaotao brought his grandfather back to Linjiazhuang. Other people in the village were also ready.

When my grandfather returned to the village, before dawn, we set out for Nanshan.

When they reached the river, Lin Xiaotao walked forward carrying his grandfather on his back.

Several young villagers carried the elderly across the river.

"Brother Dazhuang, it's better to build a bridge. What if the river rises?"

Lin Xiaotao proposed to build a bridge again.

Yang Dazhuang nodded and agreed: "We will organize people to repair the bridge during the slack season."

The group walked along a mountain road for a while and finally arrived at the ancestral tomb.

There were originally hundreds of tombs of various sizes on this area, and several new ones were added.

Lin Xiaotao followed his grandfather to the ancestral tomb, laid out the yellow paper, and placed the steamed buns he brought in front of the tombstone. Then, he lit the yellow paper with a lighter, and a yellow flame ignited.

Finally, Lin Xiaotao placed the offerings one by one and prayed silently.

"Dad, Mom, I found my grandma and grandpa."

"Mom, grandpa and grandma really wanted to come and see you, but I didn't let them come because I didn't want to disturb them."

"Rest in peace, I've spent a lot of money, enough to buy a house."

After Lin Xiaotao finished worshipping, his grandfather also took the lead in kowtowing to the ancestors, and Lin Xiaotao followed suit and kowtowed respectfully.

After visiting the grave, the affairs of Linjiazhuang were over. My grandfather had planned to stay, but Lin Xiaotao took him back for a medical examination.

It would take two more days for the test results to come out, so Lin Xiaotao returned to the courtyard.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Xiaotao started his work for the new year.

During the Spring Festival, there are so many things to prepare for, and the days seem to pass by so slowly. However, the time of the Spring Festival seems to pass by in a flash and is over very quickly.

After the Spring Festival holiday, the machinery factory finally made a decision. On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the superior leader, Old Man Chen, conveyed new instructions.

All branch leaders gathered in the conference room, and Old Man Chen announced the order on their behalf, and the core management remained unchanged.

This time, Lin Xiaotao's position changed. Yang Youcheng was responsible for managing the factory's party branch and organizing the implementation of the resolution. Lin Xiaotao served as chief engineer, with the main responsibilities of improving scientific research capabilities and production management.

In addition, Liang Zuoxin is still in charge of security work, but is now directly managed by the headquarters and has expanded his staff and powers.

After the personnel arrangements were announced, there were basically no changes, and everyone felt relieved.

Afterwards, Lin Xiaotao submitted the task plan and read out the task arrangements, which were approved.

The eighth day of the first lunar month, in a workshop at a machinery factory.

Lin Xiaotao and Huang Degang watched the workers moving the newly manufactured Xingyao machine tools.

Huang Degang shouted happily, "Boss Lin, this is the third channel!"

Then he asked quietly, "Boss Lin, what new task are you assigning us?"

Several technical backbones were listening carefully. Everyone was wondering what the first workshop would do after the previous task was completed.

At first, I guessed it might be the rolling mill, but yesterday I learned that this task had been given to another workshop.

Everyone was a little surprised but also full of expectations. They all believed that General Lin would never treat his people unfairly.

Lin Xiaotao looked at everyone and said with a smile, "There is no special mission. Stop guessing."

But he couldn't resist the pleas of everyone, "Okay, let me tell you something. We are going to do a new project - researching turbojet engines!"

Huang Degang was extremely shocked when he heard this. He took a deep breath and was very excited. After calming down for a moment, he solemnly promised that he would do his best to complete the task.

Everyone cheered and thought that although the turbojet engine was more difficult to operate, it was more powerful and was in no way inferior to the diesel engine.

In order to maintain confidentiality, Huang Degang initially emphasized that one must keep silent.

Everyone nodded in agreement, their hearts filled with fighting spirit.

Facing new challenges, Lin Xiaotao pointed out the need to strengthen technical training. Everyone realized the great responsibility.

Huang Degang expressed his gratitude firmly, "Boss Lin, thank you for your trust. The first workshop will never embarrass you!"

Other colleagues echoed the sentiment. “That’s right! Our technical level will not fall behind!” Everyone was full of confidence.

Lin Xiaotao looked at them with relief, knowing

"Director Zhao, leave it to us. We will never embarrass you!"

There were waves of excited voices from the crowd, and everyone was full of fighting spirit. Zhao Wei was very pleased to see this atmosphere.

"You have such determination and drive, which is great," he said. "I chose you because I believe you have potential."

Zhao Wei scanned everyone's face. "This is the first tough battle our machinery factory faces after being upgraded to a direct subordinate of the headquarters. It is also the key battle of this year! Whether we can complete this battle beautifully depends entirely on our own strength."
