April 1, 1964, the 29th day of the second lunar month, Wednesday.

Today is April Fool's Day in the West, but it is a big day for the steel rolling mill.

As soon as I got to work in the morning, the people from the Publicity Department hung banners and colorful flags at the gate to 'warmly celebrate the completion of the electric pressure cooker task at the steel rolling mill.'

Director Li even came early in the morning to have people sweep the floor, clean up, and arrange for people to wave small flags at the door.

At the same time, let Yu Haitang publicize the achievements of the steel rolling mill in recent years in the broadcast room. Of course, he must highlight the leadership of his superiors.

So, when workers went to work, they heard exciting slogans and outstanding achievements on the radio.

Yang Xiaotao was busy until midnight again last night, but still had no clue.

This salt-alkali resistant corn is like a layer of fog that cannot be blown away, and it cannot find a suitable path, which makes Yang Xiaotao feel deeply decadent.

But after getting up this morning, I still groomed myself well. I shaved my beard and felt that my hair was a bit long, so I used scissors to cut off the hair next to my ears. Then I washed my hair and put on clean clothes.

The appearance.

After breakfast, Yang Xiaotao rode his bicycle to the steel rolling mill.

Along the way, I met many acquaintances, including Wang Fa, Zhou Kui, Li Nan and Xing Jiaqi who was back from a business trip.

When everyone saw Yang Xiaotao's appearance, they felt relieved.

When they saw Yang Xiaotao's gloomy look earlier, they thought it was the pressure cooker thing that put him under too much pressure.

So I usually don’t dare to say much, I just worry in my heart and sweat over the last moment of today.

In fact, it was not only them, but also Yang Youning, Chen Gong and others. They all discovered something was wrong with Yang Xiaotao a few days ago, and they all thought that Yang Xiaotao was worried about the pressure cooker.

Lou Xiao'e was still worried that Yang Xiaotao would be too stressed, so these days she was thinking of calling Ran Qiuye and asking her to come back and comfort her.

Now, looking at Yang Xiaotao's appearance today, going back to the past made them feel a little more relaxed.

But what they don't know is that what Yang Xiaotao has been worried about is not the electric pressure cooker, but the "unproductive" corn in the yard.

As for the electric pressure cooker, Yang Xiaotao is not worried at all.

There is no problem with the design in the drawings. As long as the parts are up to standard and the functions are in place, there will be no problem in assembling it.

When I came to the door, I met Director Li. Director Li was dressed well with a smile on his face. When he saw Yang Xiaotao, he came up to him and said, "Director Xiao Yang, you are much more energetic now."

Yang Xiaotao smiled, "Really?"

"That's not it. It's a big day. Everyone is waiting for it."

"By the way, Director Yang came just now and was inspecting in the conference room."

As Director Li spoke, Yang Xiaotao muttered, "Old Yang likes to do this."

In fact, yesterday, Yang Youning found Yang Xiaotao and asked about the electric pressure cooker.

In fact, after the components from each factory were in place, Yang Xiaotao had already inspected them and planned to install them overnight. Then he would hand in the templates and, after passing them, let other factories start production at full capacity.

This saves time and increases production.

But he didn't want to be stopped by Yang Youning. After some questioning and Yang Xiaotao's repeated assurances, what happened today happened.

In Yang Youning's words, the superiors and subordinates all looked at it with eyes. If the work was done quietly and others didn't know, what would it be like?

This is a big deal and cannot be compromised.

We need to do it more grandly and solemnly, so that everyone can see with their own eyes how we complete the task.

At the same time, it is also an opportunity to brighten your muscles and enhance your sense of presence.

In the end, Yang Xiaotao was persuaded by Yang Youning. Mainly because he was anxious to go home and make corn, he put the parts and other things in the workshop and installed them today.

Now it seems that what Yang Youning did is really not a small thing.

Especially when I entered the door, I saw Section Chief Zhao leading a group of security officers setting up fire points, as if they were fighting.

However, it can also be seen from the side that today's specifications are a bit high.

Yang Xiaotao knew that Liu Huaimin would come today, but he didn't know if there were others.

Put down the car and return to the office.

When Lou Xiao'e saw Yang Xiaotao like this, she had the same reaction as Wang Fa and others, and she felt confident.

Not long after, Yang Youning ran over and asked when they met, "Xiao Tao, you, please promise me that today will be absolutely perfect, right?"

Yang Youning looked at Yang Xiaotao nervously, which made Yang Xiaotao feel something was wrong.

Lao Yang usually sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, but his reaction today is wrong.

"Lao Yang, what do you think you can say now will be useful?"

"Don't worry, there will be no problem!"

Yang Xiaotao said, reaching for the enamel jar.

"No, today's matter must be successful, otherwise our steel rolling mill will lose face."

Yang Youning said, his expression suddenly depressed, "It's all my fault. If I had done what you did last night and handed it over to the boss today, nothing would have happened. You wouldn't have to worry about it!"

Yang Xiaotao put down the jar and could hear that there was something in Yang Youning's words.

"Lao Yang, what's going on? Now, don't hide it from me."

Yang Youning looked at Yang Xiaotao with a troubled face and said, "I received a call from Lao Liu this morning."

"Ah, what's wrong?"

"He said Mr. Xia was coming."

Yang Xiaotao nodded after hearing this, "It's okay for Mr. Xia to come!"

"Also, military representatives are coming too."

"What are the military here for?"

"Who knows? It's quite impressive, it has two stars!"

Yang Xiaotao was speechless upon hearing this. This pressure cooker had confirmed a lot of orders for the military, but he didn't come here to join in the fun.

"Is there anyone else?"

Yang Xiaotao suddenly saw that Yang Youning's expression was not relaxed yet, so he tried to ask.

Yang Youning nodded silently.

"The leaders of Sijiucheng, including all participating factories and departments, have said they will come. Now, I don't know how many people are coming. I don't know if there is anything bigger."

Yang Xiaotao slowly put down the enamel jar and looked at Yang Youning speechless.

"Lao Yang, you are putting us on the fire. If something goes wrong, it doesn't matter if we are embarrassed or something. If someone takes away the pressure cooker, we will cry to death in the toilet."

"Who would have thought it would be like this! Xiaotao, you will succeed this time. You are only allowed to succeed, and you are not allowed to fail!"

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath. The installation process, which he thought would not cause any problems, was actually put into such a big fight by Yang Youning, and there was an invisible pressure.

However, this pressure is much less than that of salt-tolerant corn.

"Lao Yang, you've gone too far this time."

Yang Youning looked stern, but before he could speak, Yang Xiaotao continued to add, "When the time comes to protect so many people and show off, it will be a bit of a big deal?"

"Big? Hahaha..."

Yang Youning immediately changed his smile. Yang Xiaotao's words meant that everything was safe.

"Not too big, not too big, just right."

"With your words, I feel relieved. I'm going to prepare for the work. I'll leave the rest to you."

After Yang Youning finished speaking, he hurried out. With so many leaders and comrades coming, the steel rolling mill had to do a good job of welcoming them. They even had to hold a meeting, talk, and maybe even have a meal.

"Lao Chen, why haven't you come yet..."

After Yang Youning left, Lou Xiao'e heard clearly from the sidelines. Seeing Yang Xiaotao still holding the enamel jar in a daze, she quickly stepped forward and asked, "Director, is there really no problem?"

"What is the problem?"

Yang Xiaotao asked, "Don't worry, there will be no problem."

Then I sat aside and took out my notebook and looked at it. It was full of experimental plans and results. Although I had memorized them, I still wanted to take a look at them again, maybe there were some omissions.

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e was not relieved, but became even more worried.

The way Yang Xiaotao looked a few days ago, anyone could tell that he was under a lot of pressure.

High pressure means sleepiness.

He left the office full of thoughts, leaving space to Yang Xiaotao.

After a long time, Yang Xiaotao closed his notebook and remembered the setbacks he encountered when he hybridized corn. They were also the failures of countless experiments, but that time...

Suddenly, Yang Xiaotao thought, and a piece of paper with a four-leaf clover appeared on his hand.

It's the same lucky charm that was originally used.

However, the number of times this thing is refreshed is too few. It has only been refreshed once since the last time it was used, and there is only one like this in the space.
