Chapter 396 Difficult Itinerary

Looking at Silly Zhu's pleading eyes, Li Ping'an agreed, saying that he would help him find a way out, and would help him keep an eye on it if there was a chance.

Under Sha Zhu's gratitude, Li Ping'an declined Sha Zhu's invitation to dinner at night on the grounds that he was about to go on a business trip.

After sending Silly Zhu away, Li Pingan continued to wash the diapers by the sink. As soon as he finished washing the diapers and hung them up to dry, he saw Zhang Daquan running in in a hurry.

"Section Chief, the factory asked me to call you back. They said they were leaving soon and asked you to arrive at the factory before 6 o'clock."

After sending Zhang Daquan out of the door, Li Pingan hurried back to the house to prepare to say goodbye to Ding Qiunan.

When Li Ping'an returned to the room, he saw that Ding Qiunan and Auntie had already started to help him pack the luggage needed for the business trip. It seemed that the two of them heard clearly what he just said in the room.

Time was very tight. After the eldest mother went out, Li Pingan took a good look at the child, gently held Ding Qiunan in his arms and comforted him for a few words, then took the prepared luggage and ran out quickly. .

It was time to get off work now, and the road was full of workers coming off work. Li Pingan went against the flow of people and arrived at the steel rolling mill smoothly at 55:[-].

Arriving at the transportation dispatching area of ​​the steel rolling mill, the dispatching van was full of large vehicles. Hundreds of porters were moving like ants using various tools to move large boxes from truck boxes to train carriages.

All the leaders in the factory were here, standing on the platform with serious faces, urging the workers to speed up.

When Li Huaide saw that Li Pingan had arrived, he quickly called Li Pingan to his side and reiterated the importance of this transportation several times.

After a brief look at the personnel configuration of this transportation, he found that there were no personnel from the security department following this transportation. Li Ping'an was very confused about this and asked Li Huaide: "Director, why is this such an important transportation? Are there no comrades from the security department to escort you?"

"This time the escort work will be taken over by comrades from the army. They are already waiting for us to meet up at the train station." Li Huaide kept urging the people around him to urge the progress of the transportation. When he heard Li Ping'an's question, he answered casually.

Hearing what was going on, Li Ping'an nodded and did not continue to ask any other questions. It was obvious that the transportation above caught Li Huaide off guard. Now Li Huaide was anxious, so he had better stay away and wait to get on the bus. lets go.

The transportation work was carried out quickly under Li Huaide's urging. After all the carriages were closed and locked, Li Ping'an and other transportation personnel were divided into two groups and boarded the carriages one after the other.

Before getting on the bus, Li Huaide handed Li Ping'an a briefcase filled with sealed files. Without any smile on his face, he said with a serious look: "Comrade Ping'an, this is the breakdown of the items transported this time. As well as detailed information, the confidentiality level is the highest. You must always be careful not to let this briefcase leave your sight."

After taking a deep look at Li Huaide, Li Ping'an solemnly took the briefcase from Li Huaide and made an equally solemn promise to Li Huaide: "Director Li, don't worry, I am here, I will keep my eyes open even if I am sleeping. Staring at this document with one pair of eyes."

After shaking hands with each other, Li Pingan tightly grabbed the briefcase in his hand and turned around to get on the train.

The train drove on the railway track for about 10 minutes and then stopped steadily at a station. The door of the carriage was opened from the outside. A group of heavily armed soldiers walked into the carriage and invited Li Ping'an and others out of the carriage. come out.

Under the guidance of the soldiers, Li Pingan and others came to a large lounge. At this time, many people were waiting in the lounge. When Li Pingan and his group came in, the people around them just glanced at them. , and looked away from them.

After the soldier led Li Pingan and others to sit down, he said politely: "Comrade Li, this is the rest area of ​​the steel rolling mill. You can rest here for a while. If you are hungry, there are prepared meals and hot water in front of you." , everyone can enjoy it as they please”

Looking at the dining car in front of him, Li Ping'an smiled at the soldier who led them over: "Okay, I'm really sorry to trouble you. If anyone of us is hungry, we will take the initiative to eat."

After arranging the positions of Li Pingan and his party, the soldiers didn't stay much. After saying a few polite words, they left Li Pingan and others behind and left the lounge.

After the soldiers left, he glanced at the twenty or so people sitting quietly around him. Li Ping'an whispered to the transport personnel in the steel rolling mill: "If anyone is hungry, go and eat something. If you're not hungry, you can." Pack a portion and put it in a lunch box. I guess we won’t be able to eat anything serious along the way.”

"What do you mean, the train didn't stop along the way? Young people haven't been on many business trips, right? The train stops at every station, how can it be packed without being able to eat? Do you think cold dishes and cold meals are delicious?" A middle-aged man wearing glasses and wearing a cadre uniform from another factory nearby smiled disdainfully and said sarcastically after hearing Li Ping'an's words.

Glancing at the speaker, Li Ping'an ignored him and urged his colleagues to act quickly.

Among the people in the steel rolling mill, Li Ping'an had the highest rank and was also the person in charge of this transportation. Although these people felt that what the person just said was reasonable. There would be hot meals when the train stopped. There was no need to pack meals now, but they still got up. Take your lunch box out of your bag and head to the dining car to pack it.

The action of a group of people queuing up to pack their lunch boxes naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the room. Some smart transport personnel saw people from the steel rolling mill packing their lunch boxes. After thinking for a moment, they immediately understood what was going on and hurriedly clapped their heads. Take out your lunch box from your bag and join the packing team.

By the time Li Pingan led everyone to pack and sit down again, there was already a long line of people waiting to be packed at the dining car.

"A bunch of fools, pack your lunch boxes at this time, and when the train stops tomorrow, you will drool while watching me eat hot meals and dishes." The glasses that just mocked Li Ping'an mocked the crowd in line again.

A colleague who was sitting in the same factory as Yan Yan looked at the long queue and couldn't help but whisper to Yan Yan: "Section chief, why don't we also pack some meals, what if the train doesn't stop behind us?" "

"What, you also want to be a fool? If you don't stop, I think there is something wrong with your brain. Let's not be such a fool and just wait to see their jokes tomorrow." Glasses glared at the clerk who made the suggestion. He yelled angrily.

After being scolded by his section chief, the clerk shrank his neck and did not dare to continue speaking. He lowered his head and sat on the stool like a quail.

People on both sides were close together, and this scene naturally fell into Li Pingan's eyes. Looking at his glasses, which he thought he didn't know the situation clearly, Li Pingan smiled coldly. This fool is really stupid. For a task that requires such high confidentiality, Even if the train stops for supplies midway, we won't be allowed to get off the train. This guy hasn't realized what he can figure out with his toes.Tomorrow, people will drool when they see you eating hot dishes and hot rice. I hope you won’t drool at us when you gnaw on dry food tomorrow.

The food in the dining car was not fully prepared. With so many people packing, the food in the dining car was quickly packed away.

There were still many people queuing behind who saw the dining car empty, with disappointed eyes in their eyes, and reluctantly took their empty lunch boxes and sat back down in their seats.

The station staff responsible for vehicle dispatching quickly came in from outside and called out the escorts in batches according to the list in their hands.

Since the rolling mill was the last to arrive, it was naturally the last group of people to board the train.

When the last group of people followed the staff to the platform, they discovered that the locomotive was no longer the same one when they came. There were several more wagons behind the train. After questioning, they found out that three factories were transported on this train. of goods.

The escort carriage is divided into three carriages: front, middle and rear. There is one carriage for each factory, and the carriage for the steel rolling mill is at the rear.

After confirming the seal on the rolling mill carriage, Li Ping'an walked into the transport carriage with confidence.

After everyone on the transport team got on the bus, two soldiers came in carrying a basket covered with cloth.

After the two put down the basket, one of the young comrades walked up to Li Pingan, took out the pen and paper from his pocket, and handed it to Li Pingan with a smile: "Comrade, this is your dry food for three days. Don't get off the train in the middle." Please sign for it”

After taking the receipt form, Li Ping'an did not rush to sign. Instead, he lifted the white cloth on the basket. After taking a look at the food in the basket, he couldn't help but frowned: "Comrade, these cans are on the same level. What's the point?" After eating pickles and steamed buns for three consecutive days on the train, will one be able to stand up after getting off the train?"

"Comrade, I'm really sorry. This mission is too urgent. We only have this food here. The conditions are difficult. Let's overcome it."

Seeing the other party's firm attitude, Li Ping'an couldn't say anything more. He sighed, signed his name on the receipt and handed it to the other party.

After receiving the receipt, the other party did not stay too long. After a few instructions, he got off the carriage.When the train was about to start, the escorting soldiers jumped onto the carriage before it started.

A total of four soldiers jumped up, led by a deputy squad leader. Everyone introduced each other, and after briefly arranging the night duty personnel, they each made their own beds.

This carriage was a temporary freight carriage. There was no electricity inside, and the only lighting tool was a desk lamp that relied on a battery for illumination.

In order to save power, after everyone packed up their personal belongings, they turned off the desk lamps early, and the interior of the carriage fell into darkness.

In the invisible carriage, Li Ping'an was lying on the bed with his head resting on his arm. He had only left home for a few hours, but he missed his son a little. He didn't know what would happen to him if he didn't change his diaper at night. You won’t cry because you’re not used to it.

Just when Li Ping'an was thinking wildly, someone whispered in the carriage: "Chief Li, how do you know that there will be no serious meals in this mission?"

"Yes, yes, Chief Li, have you been notified in advance?"

"I just wanted to ask, but I never felt embarrassed. Chief Li, please tell me."

Hearing the curious inquiries from everyone, Li Ping'an quickly threw away the random thoughts in his mind, turned slightly, picked up the cigarettes and lighters on his bedside, lit them for himself, and then started to give them to them. explain the reason
"How else to know? It's all down to guessing. Think about it, we've all arrived at the train station and still don't know where the destination of this mission is. That means the confidentiality level of this mission must be top secret. "

"Since it is a top-secret mission, how could we be allowed to come down to eat while the train is stopping? What if there are enemy agents among us who leak this mission? Taking advantage of the fact that there is a train for us at the station, That’s why I asked you to pack a meal to eat on the road.”

After listening to Li Pingan's explanation, everyone understood. They all admired Li Pingan. They secretly sighed in their hearts, no wonder he can become a section chief at such a young age. His agility in thinking is unparalleled in the whole factory. Not many were on board.

The journey on the train was very boring and unbearable. With the army personnel present, Li Ping'an couldn't take the lead and lead them to play cards or something. He could only eat and sleep out of boredom, either in a daze or eating.

Since he ate, drank, and defecated in the carriage, it was okay on the first day and there was no peculiar smell in the carriage. From the second day on, there was always a smell in the carriage. Li Ping'an was so disgusted that he couldn't even eat the steamed buns.

Just when Li Pingan couldn't hold on any longer, the train finally arrived at the key station.

The closed compartment door was opened again from the outside, and a large amount of outside air entered the closed compartment. Li Ping'an instantly felt like he was alive again. He quickly rushed out of the compartment, looked up at the sky full of stars, and took a big breath. Breathing fresh air.

The staff at the local station quickly rushed over and started handover work with Li Ping'an. The technicians who followed the train assisted the local workers and transported the materials belonging to the steel rolling mill in the train skin. Li Ping'an and others were invited Enter the station lounge and take a good rest.

I finally had my first real meal in the past three days in the lounge. I ate the local specialty hand-picked rice. The only flaw was that I didn’t taste the local specialty, the kebabs. This made Li Pingan Very dissatisfied.

After everyone had eaten and drank, the station staff arranged for everyone to go to the guest house to rest. In the local guest house, Li Ping'an saw Jiang Enmin, who ordered his general, Director Jiang, looking at him with a smile in the lobby of the guest house: " Oh, Comrade Ping An, have you been working hard on the train these days? I've prepared a reception banquet for you tonight. Let's have a good drink to relieve our fatigue."
