Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 41
After Mr. Yang left, Yang Xiaotao felt that everyone in the courtyard was much more kind to him than before.

Every time I go out and meet people, I will say hello, and some people even come forward to say a few words.

It really deserves to be the grass on the wall of the courtyard.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao is happy to see this kind of change, and he cannot avoid it.

Life goes on as usual, who doesn't want to live a more comfortable life?
As for the Jia family, they are the condiments of life, and irreconcilable contradictions cannot be diluted by time.

Yang Xiaotao didn't care about this, now he's clearing up the relationship and saving it later...

When I came to the workshop, I still went to work, discussed, ate and read.

The difference is that when he came to the restaurant, Shazhu's skill of shaking the spoon seemed to have lost his skill, and he gave Yang Xiaotao a spoonful, which contained twice as much meat as before.

Obviously, Shazhu is not stupid.

He also knew that targeting Yang Xiaotao at this time would definitely be a thankless task.

"Perhaps, it has something to do with the uncle."

Since that day, Eldest Master has been staying away from his own life, not disturbing him if there is anything, and only let Third Elder communicate if there is anything to do.

Yang Xiaotao knew their plan, it was nothing more than to go their own way and not disturb anyone.

"Just to my liking."

Yang Xiaotao sat at the table and ate, then walked towards the director's office.

Now, I have finished reading the books at home, and the credits are stuck on the second-level stalls, which is almost reached.

So, he wanted to go to the library as soon as possible.

When he came to the office, Yang Xiaotao walked up to the director, Wang Guodong.

"director!"

Wang Guodong is looking at the plan. Recently, there are many production tasks in the factory, and their work in the third workshop is heavy, which makes him breathless.

Seeing that it was Yang Xiaotao who came, Wang Guodong smiled immediately.

The child's father gave his life to save the equipment.

Treating such children of martyrs, he naturally felt a sense of closeness in his heart.

Looking at Yang Xiaotao now, there is more comfort in the closeness.

If this position was reserved for him to support himself, then Yang Xiaotao's performance completely exceeded his expectations.

In the last grading assessment, in the face of difficult questions, it took two months to complete the assessment. This kind of talent and hard work is absolutely awesome.

Especially from what the team leader Wang Fa said, this kid is very talented in guiding newcomers, and several first-level workers and apprentices have made rapid progress.

Even the efficiency of the group has been greatly improved, and many tasks have been eased.

"Xiaotao, what's the matter?"

Wang Guodong moved the things in front of him aside, raised his head and asked kindly.

"Director, I want you to issue a certificate and go to the library to apply for a library card."

Yang Xiaotao explained why he came, and Wang Guodong smiled. This kid loves learning and reading, and he is a motivated kid.

"The assessment is coming soon, how are you preparing?"

Wang Guodong took out a pen and paper, began to write, and asked.

"It's okay, I'm going to try this assessment."

Wang Guodong nodded after finishing writing. As for Yang Xiaotao's skills, Wang Fa said that it should not be a problem to be promoted to the second level.

It's just that after the assessment years ago, the assessment standards in the factory have been greatly increased, and many people who could have passed were stopped.

The secretary of the rolling mill supported this matter, and these days, the production defect rate of the workshop has been reduced by two percentage points, and the efficiency has also improved.

It's just that it's a bit cruel to those junior workers who support their families.

"Then take the exam well and don't embarrass your father."

"Ah."

Holding the letter of introduction, Yang Xiaotao left the office.

Director Liu of the second workshop in the same room watched Yang Xiaotao leave, and joked to Wang Guodong.

"Old Wang, the newcomer in your workshop wants it."

"You are so motivated at a young age, you have found a treasure."

Wang Guodong smiled, "Whether it is treasure or not, the children of Lao Yang's family, you also know."

Director Liu was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, "It's a pity, Lao Yang!"

"Let's not talk about it, old Liu, don't you still have a spare machine? How about giving me one?"

"No! Our workshop is about to be expanded, just in time."

"Old Liu, you don't stand up for justice. Our workshop was on fire last time, and two of them couldn't be used. So you can't carry forward the revolutionary friendship?"

"Old Wang, there is still something to do in the workshop, so I'm leaving first."

"Hey, hey~"

Wang Guodong was so lonely, he scolded some old guys in his heart, but he could only squeeze the workshop staff.

"I hope a few more people will pass this assessment."

"No, I'll go find Lao Xu!"

Yang Xiaotao put the letter of introduction into the storage space, and went to the library after get off work.

He found out clearly that the library was open until nine o'clock in the evening, and he would take the car there after get off work, and the time would come in time.

Otherwise, it would take several days until the weekend. He didn't want to wait so long, and he also wanted to see what benefits the fitter would get if he was promoted to the second level.

After get off work, Yang Xiaotao greeted his fellow workers and left the factory first.

Picked up Xiaowei at the gate, got on the bus, and rushed to the XC District Library.

The XC District Library is the closest library to the courtyard house. Although it has only been established for less than two years, a library is a library, and there must be a lot of books in it.

After more than half an hour, Yang Xiaotao came to the library. Looking at the not-so-tall wall, it was not much better than the library of the second-rate college in his previous life, but it allowed more people like him to see books.

Stepping on the concrete steps, looking at the slogan on the lime wall.

"Books are the source of wisdom and the ladder of human progress!"

Walking into the gate slowly, it seems that you have come to another world.

It is peaceful and full of tranquility.

Rows of bookshelves are full of books, and the air still smells of ink and paper. In front of each row of bookshelves, there are people sitting or standing, flipping through books.

Some people even selected books, took them to the reading area beside them, and greedily sucked the knowledge in the books.

The sky was already dim, and the librarian turned on the lights to illuminate the future of scholars.

Standing here, Yang Xiaotao feels that he is not a real scholar, because he studies for the system, for credits, and for life.

But think about it the other way around, if the person in front of you is not for life, would he come to study?
In life, there are not only the difficulties in front of you, but also poetry and the distance.

"Hello, comrade."

When I came to the librarian, there was a stack of books on the simple bookcase, and a middle-aged woman in her 40s was sitting behind her.

"Hello, is there anything I need?"

Compared with the waiters in the supply and marketing cooperatives, the administrators here have a service attitude that future generations of customers are God.

This is the difference between reading and not reading, at least in dealing with people, the quality is reflected.

"Hello, I'm a worker in a rolling mill, and I'm here to apply for a student card!"

With that said, Yang Xiaotao took out the letter of introduction and handed it over.

The administrator just looked at it for a while and started to apply for a library card without verification.

Soon, a small book the size of a palm is the library card of this era.

It has Yang Xiaotao's name, hometown and work unit on it.

The next few pages are the names of the books to be borrowed and borrowed, which is also convenient for management.

There is no fee to read books in the library, but if you take them home to read, you need a deposit of [-] cents for each book, and you can get it back after you finish reading the books and return them without damage.

In other words, as long as you have a dime and enough time, you can read all the books in the library.

Of course, you need time.

After completing the library card, Yang Xiaotao walked around the library, and then selected five books, which were actually one book, but divided into five books.

The name is "Zi Zhi Tong Jian".

Now, Yang Xiaotao finds that reading this kind of historical text can not only be read in, but can also be used as a tonic for life.

The most important thing is that this book is written in vernacular, unlike the books from the buying station, which are all in obscure classical Chinese.

As for modern literature, let’s leave that for later.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao didn't plan to use the storage space to get books from the library.Not only can't afford to lose that person.I don't want to tarnish the identity of the scholar.

When I came to the cabinet, I registered the book, paid fifty cents, and left the library with my arms in my arms.

When I got home, it was already night.

When passing by the front yard, only the third uncle's house was still lit, and the others had already turned off the lights to go to bed.

At this time, it is estimated to be seven or eight o'clock.

"What a time of lack of entertainment!"

"It's no wonder that watching a movie has become a grand event in all places."

Come to the house, light the kerosene lamp, and raise the stove.

Heat up two boxes of noodle steamed buns, and then eat them with leftovers.

Xiaowei was also jumping away at this time, obviously very excited.

In the past few days, he has continuously absorbed light energy, and the energy fed back to Yang Xiaotao has also increased a lot. With a little change every day, Yang Xiaotao's physical fitness has gradually improved.

If it continues, it will be a matter of time to become a sports player.

Of course, this little guy is of great use.

"When the weather gets warmer, I'll make you a paradise."

Yang Xiaotao, teasing the little guy, is full of hope for the future.

After eating, Xiao Wei hid in the wood as usual, showing her head from time to time, watching Yang Xiaotao read a book.

As the night fell, Yang Xiaotao flipped through the first book, which recorded the events of the three dynasties of "Zhou Ji", "Qin Ji" and "Han Ji".

From the first chapter, Yang Xiaotao seemed to be fascinated, out of control.

Perhaps this is the charm of reading history.

Until midnight, the lights in the room were still on, and under the dim kerosene lamp, Yang Xiaotao didn't feel tired at all, but rather energetic.

After reading each article, it gave him some inspiration and some gains. It was not until he finished reading the last article and gently closed the book that he realized that the east had turned pale, and this night had passed.

"Ding, the host roughly read 1/5 of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and got 25 credits!!"

"Ding, the host's current credits are 512 points. Do you want to consume 500 credits to upgrade the level of the fitter?"

Yang Xiaotao hiccupped, rubbed his astringent eyes, and then stretched.

"Yes!"

It was confirmed in his consciousness, and in an instant, the credits on the character attribute panel changed from 512 to 12 points.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the main skill fitter has reached level two."

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the upgrade reward is 100 yuan. One Dali Pill. The storage space has increased by 10 cubic meters, and the current storage space is 110 cubic meters."

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the main skill has reached the second level, and the exchange bar is opened. The current exchange bar is 3 grids."

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the main skill has reached level two, and the sub-skill Fishing Technique has been obtained."

Yang Xiaotao only felt a constant ding ding in his mind, and his sleepy brain also became energetic at this moment.

　For the big guys and comrades who read books, A Tao has the cheek to ask for some recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, and rewards...
