Near noon, Director Wang presided over the funeral.

First, Platoon Leader Du told Hao Ren's life, combat exploits, and contributions to the people.

During this period, Hao Ren's heroic performance in the battle was even mentioned, and the people around him even shed tears several times.

Lou Xiao'e beside her burst into tears, which fell to the ground and turned into water petals.

Yang Xiaotao also had swollen eyes and sore nose.

Then Secretary Liu paid tribute to Hao Ren on behalf of the steel rolling mill.

"Comrades, relatives..."

"A great man once said that death is inevitable for all people. It may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. If you die for the benefit of the people, it is heavier than Mount Tai."

"Our beloved Comrade Hao Ren, his life was glorious and great. He used his youth to tell his love for Guo Jia, and used his life to express his loyalty to the people."

"He has left us, but this spirit of sacrificing himself for others and sacrificing his family for everyone will always live in our hearts."

When Liu Huaimin talked about the emotional point, his eyes couldn't help but moisten. In his blurred vision, he seemed to see a figure rushing forward without hesitation, that cold and unchanging face.

Everyone was sad and sad, but there was a fire in their hearts.

"Fight the reactionaries and protect the fruits of the revolution!"

A roar came from Platoon Leader Du's mouth, and the mourning hall that had been silent just now suddenly erupted into a strong roar.

"Fight the reactionaries and defend..."

There were roars all around.

Perhaps, Captain Hao would also like this kind of enthusiasm.

At noon, there is a funeral.

Yang Xiaotao and several veterans carried the coffin all the way to the Martyrs Cemetery.

Everyone followed behind, and more people paid attention and saluted along the way.

When they arrived at the cemetery, the cemetery was ready. Yang Xiaotao looked at the coffin being buried, feeling emotionally empty.

The soldier standing nearby raised his pistol.

Bang~~

boom!!!

Not far away, there were also gunshots, and the sounds were intertwined.

Team leader Yu watched the two comrades being buried and looked to the side, where there was also a crowd of people.

He knew that it was the comrade from the steel rolling mill.

After taking a deep look, he led the people away quickly.

After the funeral, Yang Xiaotao bid farewell to Platoon Leader Du.

Platoon Leader Du took out a handkerchief from his pocket.

After opening it, there was a yellowed note inside.

"Director Yang, this is Hao Ren's relic. It is also the wish of our remaining brothers."

Yang Xiaotao took the note and opened it. There were two strings of numbers on it.

"This is the coordinates of the place where we buried our comrades."

"If there is a day in the future, take them back and bury them with us."

"I can't see it anymore because I'm afraid I might accidentally lose it."

Yang Xiaotao squeezed Platoon Leader Du's hand tightly, "Don't worry, leave it to me. One day, I will bring the martyrs back."

Wrap the note again, put it in your pocket, and put it into the space.

Seeing Dr. Li helping Platoon Leader Du leave, Yang Xiaotao couldn't calm down for a long time.

Looking up at the sky, this God has a wrinkled face, covering the sun in a dark way, but being so stingy that he doesn't want to give me any tears.

In the afternoon, after bidding farewell to everyone, Yang Xiaotao and Xu Yuanshan returned to the steel rolling mill.

When we arrived at the gate, the place had been cleaned and there were no traces left on that day.

When Yang Xiaotao came back by car, it happened to be the day when wages were paid at the steel rolling mill.

Everyone was paying wages in the workshop, and no one paid attention to Yang Xiaotao's return.

Back in the office, Yang Xiaotao met Yang Youning and asked about Yang Xiaotao's physical condition.

Yang Xiaotao shook his head silently, not feeling very high.

Yang Youning could also see it and did not comfort him.

Only when you step out of this kind of thing can you discover a new world. Otherwise, immersing yourself in it will be in vain.

Yang Youning then explained the work matters, and he had to take advantage of the fact that Factory Director Wang was also there to confirm the intention of cooperation between the two parties.

With Yang Xiaotao's relationship, the cooperation between the two parties is mutually beneficial and can be accomplished in one fell swoop.

After the steel rolling mill determines the production plan, it will call Quancheng Machinery Factory to confirm the order for that month.

Quancheng Machinery Factory produces qualified parts and components, which are transported to the rolling mill by train, and then settled the next month.

After the two parties are confirmed, Director Yang and Director Wang will sign the cooperation letter, which will be submitted to the superior department. After the superior department agrees, the cooperation will be concluded.

After the task was completed, Director Wang proposed a return trip.

Yang Xiaotao originally thought of treating Director Wang to roast duck and drinking at his house as a guest, but for so many days, Quancheng was also waiting for news.

Factory Director Wang will return to Quancheng after the cooperation is confirmed.

In the middle of the afternoon, Yang Youning arranged for someone to buy train tickets, while Yang Xiaotao asked someone to buy two Quanjude roast ducks, and finally brought them back before Director Wang left.

"Director Wang, I'm sorry that I can't have a drink with you."

"Next time we come, we will definitely have a drink."

Director Wang said nonchalantly, "Aren't there roast ducks and Erguotou to take back? Just let the calf have a meal."

After saying that, he looked at Yang Xiaotao again, who was not tall but hugged him, "Thank you this time."

Yang Xiaotao patted Director Wang on the back and said, "Have a nice trip."

"Take care of yourself!"

Later, he met other people, and Director Wang took the people in a car to leave the steel rolling mill.

Returning to the office again, Yang Youning handed an envelope to Yang Xiaotao.

When I opened it, I saw that it was my salary for this month.

"Director, the number is wrong!"

Yang Xiaotao just felt the thickness and knew there was more in it than last time.

Much more.

"The director's salary has been adjusted." Yang Youning picked up the jar and took a sip of tea, "and your reward this month."

"Okay, don't look at it, they are all paying the bills, just take it."

Yang Youning said, Yang Xiaotao took advantage of the situation and put it in his pocket. No one cares about the money!

"Director, I heard that there is a trial run at the local level..."

Before Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he saw Yang Youning's playful smile and stopped quickly.

"Why don't you say anything?"

"Director, don't you know everything?"

Yang Youning did not tease Yang Xiaotao, "When we built the tractor, Mr. Tao was the first to find the leader. I don't know where I got the news, but I found out so quickly!"

Yang Xiaotao made a joke, he told Director Gao about the tractor, and it was with this excuse that Director Gao didn't come to see him during this period.

But since I haven't been back for so many days, there are a lot of things going on at the farm. It's a good thing for him to let go of the boss. I guess Director Gao should also scold him.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao shuddered.

The anticipation of driving the tractor back became even stronger.

At least for the sake of driving the tractor back, I should be able to get less scolding.

"This, maybe it's because our reputation is too great, everyone knows it."

hehe…

Yang Youning smiled, and Yang Xiaotao smiled awkwardly.

"It's okay to go back and see your family!"

"However, before you leave, arrange the workshop for me, and come back at least once a week. This is the bottom line."

After a while, Yang Youning stretched out a finger. He didn't dare to let this guy stay outside for a long time. If something happened in the workshop, it would take half a day to go back and forth from such a distance.
