The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 177 Zhang Yazhi invites you to dinner
The work of the masons has already been done, given the presence of a regular construction crew.

Li Aiguo gave all his wages to the mason.

The mason worked in Li's house for two days, and Li Aiguo gave him five yuan according to the wages.

"It's too much, as long as four yuan is enough." The mason is an honest man, and he insisted on taking out one dollar and returning it to Li Aiguo.

Li Aiguo held down his hand: "Uncle, this money is for children's tuition."

"You are a good boy." The corners of the mason's eyes were a little moist.

Thinking about what happened at Jia's house a few days ago, the mason feels that there are still good people in the courtyard.

The construction team is coming in tomorrow.

Things in the house need to be vacated.

The Eight Immortals table, cabinets, and heavy objects such as coal stoves are placed under the eaves in front of the door.

Clothes and quilts are temporarily stored at Aunt Liu's house.

The only home appliance flashlight you can carry with you.

Aunt Liu took He Yushui to help pack the clothes.

Knowing that Li Aiguo was going to renovate the house, he asked with a smile: "Aiguo, you have a date, where is the woman's family, and what is her background like?"

"Not yet. This is not taking advantage of the holidays to clean up the house so that you don't have to bother in the future."

Li Aiguo gave the clothes to He Yushui, and asked He Yushui to take the clothes away.

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "The girl I told you about last time is actually pretty good, she is beautiful and her family is well-off."

Hearing Aunt Liu mention this again, Li Aiguo waved his hands with a smirk: "Auntie, we'll talk about the marriage later."

"You kid, you just have too high a vision."

Aunt Liu had already treated Li Aiguo as her own child, so she couldn't help being a little angry.

It's not easy for Li Aiguo to explain to Aunt Liu.

On the pretext of moving the cabinet, he went out of the house and squatted under the eaves to rest.

He just lit a cigarette and was smoking comfortably.

Xu Damao walked in from the outside with his hands behind his back.

I saw that the house was busy.

Xu Damao came over and asked, "Patriotic, are you going to move out?"

"No, the house is going to be cleaned up, so let's empty things out first."

"Clean up the house, it's time to tidy up."

Xu Damao nodded and said: "I have lived in it for more than ten years, and the inside has long been moldy. Before I get married, I have to tidy up the house."

Ever since Xu Damao had a blind date with a girl from the Lou family.

As long as you chat with people, always lead the topic to marriage.

Whenever the residents praised Xu Damao for finding a rich girl.

Xu Damao always raised his head proudly.

It can't be blamed that Xu Damao is not politically sensitive.

After all, Lou Zhenhua now bears the name of a patriotic capitalist.

He is also a member of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, a director of the rolling mill, and can sit in the conference room for meetings.

Who would have thought that such a big tree could be blown down by a strong wind?

Everyone carried the sedan chair, and Li Aiguo would not make Xu Damao feel uncomfortable.

"Your marriage with the Lou family is over?" He casually tossed a cigarette to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao was flattered, took it in a hurry, clicked on it, and said with some pride: "I, Damao, can be regarded as a well-known young man in ten miles and eight towns. Director Lou is very satisfied with me, and I think he will get married next month."

"Congratulations here first."

Li Aiguo had enough rest, stood up and continued to move the cabinet.

"Come on, let me help you."

In the courtyard.

That means Li Aiguo can fight against the Jia family.

Xu Damao was really afraid that Li Aiguo would move away.

"By the way, Jia Dongxu has already been discharged from the hospital. The injury was more than half healed. Last night, when I went to the latrine, I don't know who was suffocated by someone."

"Jia Dongxu was beaten?"

Surprised, Li Aiguo let go of his hand.

The table of eight immortals, which was so heavy and heavy, almost made Xu Damao shiver.

Xu Damao rubbed his waist and rolled his eyes: "How fresh, Jia Dongxu offended those bastards outside, and he will be punished sooner or later."

"That's true."

Li Aiguo felt a little puzzled.

Originally, he thought that this matter was just an excuse for the old men in charge who couldn't find out the case.

Unexpectedly, Jia Dongxu really offended the bastard?

No coal stove.

Lunch was eaten at Aunt Liu's house, and Aunt Liu made vegetable boxes from her hometown.

Although it is thick noodles, it tastes a bit mouthy, but when the kang vegetable box is made, lard is used, which tastes very fragrant.

Considering that there is a lot of movement in the house repair this time, it may affect nearby residents.

Maybe you should go to the street to go through the formalities and the like.

After dinner.

Li Aiguo rode his bicycle to the street office.

The street office manages lunch at noon.

Director Wang filled a bowl of cold noodles from the kitchen and was squatting in the corridor to eat.

Hearing that Li Aiguo was going to repair the house, without further ado, he issued the formalities for Li Aiguo.

"Patriotic, the engineering team of your locomotive depot must be top-notch. Can you take advantage of the gap in the house renovation and repair the courtyard wall?"

Director Wang handed over the formalities to Li Aiguo, and said with a smile, "You also know that the wall on the side of the courtyard had a crack when it rained heavily last time. If it hits someone, it will be troublesome."

"When Captain Liu and the others come to construct tomorrow, I'll tell him to come and talk to you in person." Li Aiguo took over the formalities.

"This time we are asking for comrades from the locomotive depot. I will go there myself tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at home."

Things seem to be very simple, but it is really complicated to operate.

Now the house is completely vacated, and there is no way to live in it. Li Aiguo can only temporarily live in the locomotive depot dormitory.

Since I have not lived in a dormitory for a long time, there is not even a straw mat in the dormitory.

Li Aiguo left the street office, came to Wang Dakui's house non-stop, found a donkey on the backside, and prepared to move bedding and the like to the dormitory.

When Wang Dakui and Zhang Erpao heard that they were going to move things, they also came to the courtyard to help.

It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when I rode a donkey backwards and transported the quilt to the locomotive depot dormitory.

Dakui and Zhang Erpao had to deliver goods to customers, so they left first, and Li Aiguo was alone in the dormitory to make bedding.

The dormitory is the kind of five-person room.

However, most of the train drivers, like Li Aiguo, do not live in dormitories.

Not for anything else.

The most fundamental reason lies in the house.

The dormitory is a kind of tube building, built of single-layer bricks, without insulation measures.

Under the sunlight in summer, the room is like a steamer.

Sitting in a steamer while driving a train, and sleeping in a steamer after work, no one can stand it.

After laying out the bedding and cleaning, the blue and black short-sleeved shirt on Li Aiguo's body was sticky and wet.

Fortunately, there is a bathroom downstairs where you can take a shower.

Li Aiguo carried a washbasin, put on chemical slippers, brought a towel, and took a shower in the bathroom.

Go back to the dormitory, prepare to rest for a while, and then conquer the liver book.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw the door of the next room pushed open.

Zhang Yazhi came out with a washbasin in her hand.

Her wet hair was tied behind her head, a bright red towel was draped over her shoulders, floral blue pants were worn on her lower body, and chemical sandals were worn on her feet.

It is very different from the usual temperament when wearing a uniform. It lacks the temperament of a strong woman and is more like a well-behaved little daughter-in-law.

Seeing Li Aiguo, Zhang Yazhi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover her forehead.

Only then did Li Aiguo notice a bruise on Zhang Yazhi's forehead.

Looking at the shape, it should be hit by a heavy object such as a stick.

Don't ask.

It must be Zhang Yazhi who met Liu Changyi again.

Li Aiguo had also analyzed Liu Changyi.

If Liu Changyi was placed before liberation, he would be the kind of person who would sell his wife to a kiln.

He has almost nothing now, and his only support is Zhang Yazhi.

Even if he risked his life, he would hold Zhang Yazhi tightly.

For this kind of person, there is no way to count on the street office and the Women's Federation, so we can only find a way to send him to the fence.

"Sister Yazhi, go take a shower." Li Aiguo pretended not to notice anything unusual, and greeted with a smile.

Zhang Yazhi felt a little relieved, her face blushed: "You moved here?"

"No, the family is renovating the house and staying here for a few days temporarily."

"Do you want to help? I know the construction team of our locomotive depot."

"This time, it is Liu Brigade and the others who are invited."

"Brigade Liu, their skills are very good. They are the ones hired by Xing Duan's family to renovate the house."

After a while of chatting.

Li Aiguo said with a smile: "Sister Yazhi, go take a shower, after work, when the comrades on duty come back, there will definitely be more people in the bathroom."

"well."

Zhang Yazhi took two steps with the basin in hand, then turned her head, blinked her big eyes and said, "Comrade Patriotic, I invite you to dinner tonight."
