"I brought you a gift."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the old man smiled and said, "Okay, this is a gift I brought here for dinner, so I have to accept it."

"Chief, I didn't buy it, I beat it for you to use."

As he spoke, Yang Xiaotao handed over the wolf skin on his left hand.

The old man's face was serious, looking at his slightly weathered face, he took it solemnly.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Yang Xiaotao pursed his lips, biting the meat inside with his teeth, his eyes suddenly felt unsatisfactory, wanting to

There are thousands of words to say, but at this moment, I take a deep breath and shake my head hard, "It's not hard, it's not hard."

The old man could see that Yang Xiaotao was suppressing his inner excitement and holding his hand gently.

"Don't be nervous. Just walk around as usual here today."

"You guys are here, why don't you come in, come in and talk."

A female voice came from the room, and then a short woman came out, wearing an apron. She was obviously busy working just now.

The old man smiled and said, "Hurry in, the mistress has spoken, hurry in."

Yang Xiaotao nodded and looked at the woman with a respectful expression.

The woman was also looking at Yang Xiaotao, with a kind smile on her face.

"I just got off the train. You must be tired."

"Hello."

"Not tired!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't know what to call it, or in other words, it felt inappropriate to call it anything.

"You also said, go wash your face and eat something later. You can't even eat on the train."

The woman is nagging like a mother, but it makes people feel like a spring breeze, and inadvertently, their hearts feel warm.

"Oh, good!"

Yang Xiaotao didn't know how he walked. Anyway, it was a little different from normal walking.

On the other side, the old man met Gao Yufeng and shook hands with Section Chief Yu. After a cordial conversation, they walked into the room.

Yang Xiaotao washed his hands and then stood aside.

"Quick, sit down, sit down."

After speaking, Yang Xiaotao and Gao Yufeng sat next to the old man, while Dean Zheng and Section Chief Yu sat on both sides.

Although it was a meal, the only ones really eating were the two of them.

On the table are a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of shredded potatoes, and a bowl of millet porridge.

In addition, each person has a big bowl with hand-rolled noodles in it.

"You two came all the way from the northwest by train. I have something to come here to find you."

Ahem

"Eat first and then talk about business."

The woman reminded from the side, and the old man laughed, "Yes, let's eat first. Come and try my home cooking."

"The dishes are a bit short and the food is a bit plain. You guys will make do with it."

He asked Yang Xiaotao and Gao Yufeng to move the chopsticks.

"No, no, it's very good."

Gao Yufeng spoke quickly, and the old man nodded, "The people's economy must be built, but the culture of hardship and simplicity cannot be lost."

Yang Xiaotao held the bowl and nodded vigorously.

The old man lives such a hard and simple life, and when he thinks about his own life, he feels inexplicably ashamed.

From now on, we must be more diligent and simple.

Taking the chopsticks, I carefully picked up a peanut.

Gao Yufeng saw Yang Xiaotao flapping his chopsticks and started eating too.

Yang Xiaotao lightly chewed the peanuts, then ate the noodles with big mouthfuls.

He ate quickly but made no sound.

There is oil and water floating on the noodles, which makes your stomach feel warm when you eat them.

"Why are you just eating noodles and vegetables?"

As the old man said this, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up shredded potatoes, put them in Yang Xiaotao's bowl, and gave Gao Yufeng another piece.

Yang Xiaotao lowered his head and ate.

Everyone else looked at the two of them, who were eating with their heads down.

The woman on the side smiled and shook her head.

Yang Xiaotao finished the noodles quickly, arranged his bowl and chopsticks neatly, and sat upright.

"Did you finish eating so soon?"

The old man watched Yang Xiaotao finish eating quickly and felt a little emotional.

"When I was young, so was I. I had to do various things, sometimes fights, and eat quickly, otherwise I wouldn't have enough energy."

"But now, my stomach is not working anymore. I have to eat soft food."

As the old man rambled, Yang Xiaotao could feel the closeness around him.

As the old man said, Yang Xiaotao clenched his palms tightly, then mobilized all his strength, raised his hand and slowly grasped the old man's hand aside.

The old man looked over and didn't care, "So, people have to accept old age."

"You are still young"

Yang Xiaotao listened carefully, and his heart was already in contact with Xiaowei on his chest, mobilizing the maximum energy of his body.

The old man felt that Yang Xiaotao's hand was a little warm, and smiled again, "Eat another bowl."

"No, no need."

"This is not enough for you. Have another bowl."

"No, really"

At this time, the woman had already picked up the bowl, filled another bowl and placed it in front of Yang Xiaotao.

"Eat quickly, don't be restrained, he and I are just two old men."

Yang Xiaotao let go, nodded and picked up the bowl again. This time, Yang Xiaotao ate very slowly.

five minutes later.

Yang Xiaotao put down his bowl, looked at the others waiting for him, and sat upright in embarrassment.

"I am full."

Yang Xiaotao said awkwardly, and the old man laughed heartily.

"Now that we're full, let's get down to business."

The old man's expression changed, he got up and walked to the study.

Dean Zheng and others got up to follow.

When he came to the study room, a row of bookshelves first came into view. Yang Xiaotao stood in front of the shelves and looked at them. There were many more books here than at home.

After just one glance, Yang Xiaotao came back to his senses and sat down behind Director Zheng.

While everyone was waiting for the night, Secretary Tang came in and gave several people a bowl of tea, and then went out.

The old man nodded to Dean Zheng, and then Dean Zheng began to briefly describe the situation.

Yang Xiaotao finally understood why he was so anxious to find them.

At the same time, I knew in my heart that the other party was starting to experiment.

After all, they obtained enough copies of their parents from Yangjiazhuang.

However, these seeds have been manipulated by Xiaowei, and the corn grown in the greenhouse now has no problem.

But if you plant it in the wild, I hope you won't encounter strong winds.

Xiaowei's original modified energy directly removed the lodging resistance gene, causing genetic defects.

However, he could not speak out about this matter, especially since Section Chief Yu was responsible for the security issues, and he always felt that there was nothing unusual about it.

He can't say that the other party completed the task by grafting others on.

Not saying that you can't explain it, but letting the other party succeed even after knowing it, this is not a pure motive.
