The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 182
The crowd dispersed.

Director Wang walked up to Li Aiguo and asked with a warm expression, "Comrade Aiguo, look at the courtyard wall of our compound."

If the wall collapsed, it might hit someone.

Furthermore.

The director of the street office even found us a small helper, and he is a master fitter of the seventh grade in the rolling mill.

This face is glorious.

Of course we have to help.

Li Aiguo turned his attention to Captain Liu of the construction team: "Brother Liu, I have to trouble you about this matter."

"What's the trouble, we are all comrades in the same section, so we should help."

Captain Liu readily agreed.

Although the work done by the street is not very profitable.

But the necessary labor costs are still indispensable.

After measuring the length of the wall with Director Wang of the Sub-district Office, he offered a reasonable price.

"Director, the old blue bricks on the wall can still be used, which can save a lot of money."

Director Wang of the Sub-district Office nodded frequently.

Sub-district office funds are also very tight, and every penny saved is a penny.

"To build a fence, if you want it to be strong, you'd better need some cement. The binding power of lime is far inferior to that of cement."

As soon as this word comes out.

Director Wang of the Sub-district Office couldn't help turning his eyes to Li Aiguo.

It’s fine if it’s other materials, and cement is considered a controlled material.

In the courtyard, only Li Aiguo could get cement.

It's just that it's not the case to ask others to help you with empty teeth.

Director Wang pondered for a moment, then said with a smile:

"Patriotic, your house is being repaired at home, and there should be no place to eat at night. It just so happens that Uncle Liu came back from the south today and came to have a gathering at home."

After Jia Zhang was sent home.

Under the persuasion of Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu, he soon sobered up.

Now I'm starting to be scared, and I don't dare to yell and scold, so I took Qin Huairu's hand and begged:
"Huairu, please help me to plead with the uncle later, don't send me back to Jiajiazhuang. I can't carry it on my shoulders or lift it with my hands. How can I live in the countryside!"

"How do you ask me to ask, this matter is decided by the street office, and the uncle can't do anything about it.

Besides, the uncle was scolded bloody by you just now, even if you beg him now, he can't do it. "

Qin Huairu said happily.

She also figured it out now.

Since there is no way to restore the reputation of the Jia family, it is acceptable to take the opportunity to send Jia Zhang back to his hometown.

Jia Zhang is not at home, so there is no way to bully her.

"Go to the deaf old lady, she has a good relationship with the street office, please intercede for me." Jia Zhang was not reconciled.

Jia Dongxu sighed and said: "Mother, the deaf old lady has been busy with Shazhu's affairs since Shazhu was taken away, and she no longer cares about the affairs in the compound."

"That's right, if there were a deaf old lady here today, and she would help to say a few words, Director Wang wouldn't be able to listen to Li Aiguo." Qin Huairu chimed in.

Seeing that there was no other way to intercede, Mrs. Jia Zhang simply started to mess up, went into the back room, and lay down on the bed.

"I'm just lying here, let's see what they can do to me!"

at this time.

Yi Zhonghai brought Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to Jia's house.

The two elders in charge, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, knew Jia and Zhang's unscrupulous temperament, so they didn't want to get involved in Jia's affairs.

Yi Zhonghai claimed that this was a political task assigned by the street office.

If they can't finish it, the three of them will have to be cleaned up.

The two reluctantly followed behind Yi Zhonghai.

Entering Jia's house, seeing Jia Zhang lying on the bed, the two made up their minds to act as the head and keep silent, so as not to be scolded by Jia Zhang.

Yi Zhonghai saw that his teammates did not take the initiative to attack.

I had no choice but to move a chair and sit in front of Jia Zhang.

"Sister-in-law Jia, this time we were played by that kid Li Aiguo."

"Just put on a show and go back to the countryside to stay for a few days. When Director Wang calms down and the neighbors don't care about it, Dongxu and I will bring you back."

Let him say all the good things, Jia Zhang just refuses to agree.

She was afraid that once she returned to the countryside, she would never come back again.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to use a slightly threatening tone: "Sister-in-law Jia, this is the regulation of the street office. Don't think that if you lie here, the street office will have nothing to do with you."

"You also know that we have to collect tickets from the subdistrict office every month. Dongxu is the only person in your family who has a food book. If you annoy the subdistrict office, Dongxu's tickets will be suspended. There are no tickets. , your family is going to drink northwest wind."

"The street office is connected with the rolling mill. If you are in the capital and offend the street office, the street office will send a message to the rolling mill, which will affect Jia Dongxu's work."

These words hit Jia Zhang's weakness.

Mrs. Jia Zhang has been lazy all her life. Since entering the city, she has not participated in work. She has been holding her pair of starched soles all day long, sitting at the door and pretending.

When Lao Jia was around, she sucked Lao Jia's blood.

Lao Jia died, and she sucked Jia Dongxu's blood.

Jia Dongxu should have made an agreement with her before getting married that he must give her three yuan a month for retirement.

That's not even counting the one dollar for painkillers every month.

In the later period, as the addiction to painkillers increased, it cost two yuan to buy painkillers a month.

Just buying painkillers is enough for an adult's ration money.

Before Sha Zhu was caught, she could still order Qin Huairu to suck some blood from Sha Zhu.

If you want to smoke now, you can only go to the police station of the locomotive depot.

If Jia Dongxu loses her job, she will really be hungry.

"Then when will you pick me up?" Jia Zhang was a little scared.

Still can't handle you, an old woman from the countryside?
Yi Zhonghai heaved a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, I'll report to Director Wang that your ideological transformation has been completed within a month at most, and I'll put you in a donkey cart to pick you up."

"Then you must not forget."

Jia Zhang didn't believe Yi Zhonghai's words, but had no choice but to nod and agree.

Yi Zhonghai was afraid that Jia Zhang's family would change his mind, so he immediately went to the sub-district office to report the situation to Director Wang.

Director Wang praised Yi Zhonghai for his effective work.

I issued a letter of introduction and directions to Mrs. Jia and Zhang, and asked Yi Zhonghai to send Mrs. Jia back to the countryside as soon as possible.

Jiazhang knew that there was nothing to be done, and was afraid that he would never return to the capital, so he hid his savings for many years and Lao Jia's subsidy in his inner pocket.

I went to the hospital to buy ten bottles of painkillers, and packed a big bag.

Early the next morning.

Jia Dongxu took a day off at the rolling mill and planned to send Jia Zhang back in person.

Jiajiazhuang is more than ten miles away from the capital, so it is definitely not possible to rely on both feet.

Yi Zhonghai borrowed a donkey cart and led it to the gate of the courtyard.

Many residents gathered around to watch the fun.

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu moved their luggage to the donkey cart, but Jia Zhang changed his mind and lay still on the bed.

She is afraid of going back to the countryside.

"Old sister-in-law, it's getting late, we should be on our way. When we get to Jiajiazhuang, I have to visit the leaders of the commune to help you clean up the place. If you delay the time, we won't care about it then."

Under the threat of Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhang got into the donkey cart with a lot of hesitation. Even if a resident greeted her, she still kept a dead face and said nothing.

"Drive."

Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu, and Qin Huairu got into the donkey cart, the driver waved his whip, and the little donkey ran towards Jia's village with its buttocks pouted.

Looking at the retreating scenery on the bumpy donkey cart, Jia Zhang felt very aggrieved.

She just cursed a few words, and she was about to be driven back to her hometown in the countryside. That kid Li Aiguo was really too cruel.

Siheyuan gate.

The first mother watched the donkey cart leave with a stick in her arms.

When she saw the donkey cart disappearing at the end of the road, the first mother rubbed sticks affectionately on the face of the stick.

"My grandson"

It was already late at night when Yi Zhonghai drove the donkey cart back to the courtyard from Jiajiazhuang.

After working hard all day and spending all his time in the countryside, Yi Zhonghai was very happy in his heart.

Ever since Yi Zhonghai knew he was infertile, he began to look for elderly people in the compound.

Certainly not with a father.

I have never seen someone who is not filial to his own father, but is someone else's son.

A young man without a father.

There are two halves in a courtyard.

One is Li Aiguo and the other is Jia Dongxu.

Shazhu's father ran away, so he can only be regarded as half.

under balance.

Yi Zhonghai chose Jia Dongxu as the main pensioner.

Silly Zhu as the reserve army.

Now Silly Zhu got into the fence.

Jia Zhang can only rely on Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu has no father, but has an unreliable mother.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to take care of the elderly, not find a mother.

Now Jiazhang has finally been sent back to the countryside.

It was a good time for him to win over Jia Dongxu.

If you can recognize the stick as your grandson.

The two families got closer.

Back home, Yi Zhonghai told Aunt Yi what he thought.

Aunt Yi agreed without hesitation, and boiled hot water herself to wash his feet.

"I said old man, you really have to thank Li Aiguo this time."

"Li Aiguo?" Yi Zhonghai was surprised.

"What do you think, if Li Aiguo didn't make an excuse, Jia Zhang would be sent back to the countryside?"

"If you say that, it's really true."

Yi Zhonghai pondered for a long time, and after he figured it out, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Obviously Li Aiguo is a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh.

Now I have to thank him.

What is this called!

Jia Zhang's departure caused quite a stir in the courtyard.

Everyone couldn't believe that Jia Zhang, who had lived in the capital for more than ten years, was really sent back to the countryside.

Several families didn't want to sleep until dark, just to wait for the news.

When they saw Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu and the others returned without Jia Zhang's figure, the residents felt relieved.

The Xu family in the backyard.

Xu Jixiang is still reviewing what happened today.

As a small projectionist, he was able to become relatives with the Lou family because of his love of research and research.

Especially good at analyzing various relationships and looking for opportunities that can be used.

Now he wants to pass this skill on to his son Xu Damao.

After some explanations, Xu Damao, a Miyoshi student, felt that he had benefited a lot.

At the same time, there is also a doubt.

He raised his hand and asked:
"Father, this time Jia Zhang was sent back to the countryside.

Except that Li Aiguo grabbed her by the braid and came to take advantage of her strength.

The most fundamental reason is that Jia Zhang's household registration is rural.

Jia Zhang was not liberated when he married Lao Jia.

I heard that in the first few years after the liberation of the capital, it was easy to move in with a registered permanent residence.

Why didn't Jiazhang move his household registration to the capital?
"

Xu Jixiang said: "That's Jia Zhang's greed. Back then, the street office came to her door to apply for her household registration. She was unwilling to change her household registration for the sake of a few acres of fertile land in the countryside, but she was dumbfounded later."

He looked up at Xu Damao: "Da Mao, you must remember in the future, you must not be greedy."

"Don't worry, I, Da Mao, am sure that the blue is better than the blue." The three-good student Xu Damao is very confident.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

the other side.

Li Aiguo was going to have dinner at Director Wang's house in the evening.

Seeing the sky gradually darken.

Li Aiguo dug out two things from the box, put them into a canvas bag, and went back to the main room.

Aunt Liu was about to go into the kitchen to cook. Seeing that he was about to go out, she asked, "Patriotic, are you not going to eat at home tonight?"

Li Aiguo: "Director Wang treats guests tonight, and Uncle Liu is back."

Aunt Liu responded with a smile: "Then you go, and say hello to Old Liu for me."

out of the house.

He Yushui was playing with Li Aiguo's tandem bicycle with Yan Jiefang from the Yan family.

A tandem bicycle has four wheels, and even a person who can't ride it will not fall down when riding it.

He Yushui sat in the front and supported the handle of the car, while Yan Jiefang pushed behind.

The two had a great time.

He Yushui wobbled on his bicycle and stopped in front of Li Aiguo: "Brother Aiguo, when I start working and save money, I want to buy a bicycle like this."

Li Aiguo took the car keys and said with a smile: "Girls from every family, of course they want to ride Erliu bicycles."

He Yushui pouted: "Who says women are inferior to men!"

Li Aiguo reached out and rubbed her head: "When you grow to a height of 1.8 meters, I will buy you a [-] big stick."

He Yushui pouted: "."

After receiving the bicycle, Li Aiguo got on it and was about to leave.

Xu Damao walked over from the front yard with an empty basket and walked happily in small steps.

"Why did you go, Brother Da Mao?" Li Aiguo greeted.

"Hey, it's okay. I just delivered eggs to my father-in-law. As you know, my moth is a lady, and I like to eat stupid eggs from the countryside the most."

Do ladies like to eat stupid eggs?

What is this all about?

Li Aiguo was a little confused.

Chatted with Xu Damao for a few words, then pushed the bicycle out of the courtyard.

Director Wang's family lived in Qianmen Hutong, and Li Aiguo turned several corners before he finally found the place.

This is a small courtyard with a single family.

A plaque of [Glorious House] was hung on the wooden courtyard door, and the golden plaque was particularly dazzling under the sunlight.

Seeing that Li Aiguo really came, Director Wang happily opened the door.

After entering the room, Li Aiguo took out two newspaper packages from the canvas bag and put them on the table.

"Hey kid, you are still polite when you come to your own house, we can't do this, take it back quickly." Director Wang pretended to be angry.

Li Aiguo smiled and opened the newspaper: "Aunt Wang, it's not some expensive stuff, it's just some local products from the frontier."

Looking at a withered flower and a black stick, Director Wang was a little dazed.

The flowers should be like snow lotus, what is the black stick?

Li Aiguo whispered a few words in Director Wang's ear.

Director Wang's face turned red immediately, and he slapped Li Aiguo: "Aiguo, there is something wrong with your thinking now, take this thing back quickly."

"Don't tell me, Uncle Liu and you are only 40 years old and still very young. If we work hard, we might not be able to have another child." Li Aiguo laughed.

Director Wang hesitated.

At this time, a man in a tunic suit came out from the back room and said in surprise: "Oh! Patriotic, you have grown into a young man. Before liberation, I protected you in the public office. Today, I saw that you have grown into adults. We are really grown up. I'm old,"

His gaze fell on the black stick, and he asked in surprise, "What is this?"

Director Wang muttered a few words in a low voice, smiled and pinched Li Aiguo, and said to her husband, "Old Liu, tell me, is this kid a bad student?"

Liu Qingshan is a cadre going south.

In [-], I left the old district and went to work in the south.

At that time their only son had died on the battlefield.

Director Wang was heartbroken, he was not in good health, and couldn't keep up with the big team, so he stayed in the capital.

The two also tried to have another child, but they have not been able to do so.

Liu Qingshan took a deep look at the black stick.

"Put it away, this is also a patriotic heart."

"you"

Director Wang felt that his old face had a fever.

After living to such an old age, being laughed at by a child, it is almost impossible to live.

Fortunately, this child is his own child.

Director Wang coughed twice, wrapped up the newspaper with a straight face, and took it into the room.
