The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 217
The sound of rain covered the roar of the engine.

Two trucks moved silently along the street in the heavy rain.

Lou Zhenhua was originally sitting in the cab.

But I was a little worried about the gold and silver treasures behind me.

Fortunately, Zhang's mother had spread several layers of quilts in the bed of the truck. Sitting on them, she could hardly feel the bumps of the truck.

Lou Zhenhua went through all the arrangements in his mind.

After finally making sure that everything was safe, he narrowed his eyes in relief and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking a little proud.

In two days, he will arrive in the port city.

With the wealth and treasures he brought this time, he was enough to become a powerful force in the port city.

Hong Kong City is a place of feasting and feasting.

As long as you have money, you have everything.

Fame, status, power and movie stars.
Thinking of the female star, Lou Zhenhua felt hot in his heart.

He has watched movies in Hong Kong, and the female star he admires most is Bai Luming in "The Passionate Swallow Returns".

Sunny and fashionable, youthful and beautiful, with an open personality, especially wearing a bright red bikini
The layout of the house is simply amazing!
Compared with the sexy Bai Luming, Tan Liya is just a bad old woman.

When we get to Hong Kong City, maybe we can invest in a film company, ask Bai Luming to star in the movie, and then hold a cocktail party.
Before liberation, Lou Zhenhua often did this kind of thing.

When the time comes, I will definitely be familiar with the road and be able to embrace the beauty.

Thinking of this, the smile on Lou Zhenhua's face became even brighter.

at this time.

puff
There was a loud exhaust sound outside, which could be heard clearly even amid the pounding rain.

Immediately afterwards, Lou Zhenhua felt the truck shaking violently, the front of the truck swinging left and right, and finally stopped with a click.

"Old Zhou, what's wrong!" Lou Zhenhua inserted his right hand into his waist and touched the handle of the gun.

"Maybe something happened! Master, don't be afraid, I'll take someone down to take a look now."

Butler Zhou stood up, called two of his cronies, took out the gun from the box, and jumped out from the back of the truck.

In the body.

Tanya was now so frightened that her face turned pale and she was trembling.

She snuggled close to Lou Zhenhua, held his arm, and said worriedly: "Zhenhua, something is not really going to happen."

"Snapped!"

Before he finished speaking, he received a slap on the face.

Lou Zhenhua said with a cold face: "If you dare to say such depressing words again, I will kick you out."

"you"

Tan Liya originally wanted to show off her temper, but seeing that Lou Zhenhua was looking like a cannibal, she didn't dare to say anything more.

Lou Zhenhua held the tortoise box in his hand, his ears attached to the tarpaulin, listening to what was going on outside.

Unfortunately, apart from the patter of raindrops hitting the tarp, nothing else could be heard.

Butler Zhou and the three cronies who had just gone down felt as if they had been swallowed by the monster outside the truck.

Lou Zhenhua was so nervous that his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't breathe. The tortoise box in his hand was trembling.

"No, I can't wait any longer. I have to see what happened."

He took a deep breath, bent down and moved slowly to the back of the truck. He stretched out his left hand to pull open the tarpaulin, but his fingers began to lose control and kept shaking.

He put down his hand and twisted it on his thigh before he calmed down and yelled: "Who dares to pretend to be a ghost in front of me?"

Lou Zhenhua held the wooden handle of the tortoise box tightly, his finger was on the trigger, the muzzle of the gun was pointed outside, and the other hand suddenly opened the canvas.

next second.

His whole body was sluggish and confused, like a clay or wood carving.
Snapped!
The tortoise box fell from his hand.

It landed in the truck bed and made a crisp sound.

"How did you know I was here?"

Beijing experienced a heavy rain.

What emerges is a completely new world.

The filth on the streets was washed away by the rain and was spotless.

There were a few light white clouds floating in the clear blue sky. Against the backdrop of the rising sun, the white clouds were rimmed with gold, making them look particularly beautiful.

Early in the morning.

Li Aiguo climbed out of bed and hung the wet clothes he had collected yesterday on the rope under the eaves again.

The residents in the compound also got up one after another.

The clanking of pots and pans, the slapping of children, and the heartfelt laughter intertwined together, echoing in the sky above the compound, intertwining into a beautiful piece of music.

Zhang Gangzhu was squatting at the door eating pig intestines as usual. When he saw Li Aiguo, he stood up and greeted: "Brother Patriot, can you take a bite?"

His face no longer had the bitterness and hatred of the past, but was replaced by relief after completing something important.

"I don't have that kind of hobby!" Li Aiguo refused as always.

joke.

Eating raw pig intestines early in the morning will make you smell bad.

After putting on the clothes, straightening out the wrinkles, and preparing to go back to the house to cook, Zhang Gangzhu came over with a bowl: "Patriotic brothers, I am going to take a day off today and go back to my hometown to burn paper for my parents."

"Really?" Li Aiguo laughed.

"I got some good news last night, Lou."

Zhang Gangzhu bit off a piece of pig intestine, raised his sleeve and wiped his nose, looked around, saw a resident passing by, and quickly changed his words: "I have to tell the parents underground about the good news quickly."

"wait."

Li Aiguo entered the room and took out a bunch of firecrackers and handed them to Zhang Gangzhu: "Uncle Zhang treated me well before. You helped me set off these firecrackers at the grave."

"Okay!" Zhang Gangzhu took the firecracker and put it in his pocket.

At this time, Zhang Gangzhu's daughter-in-law's Hedong lion roar sounded in the Zhang family house: "Zhang Gangzhu, where have you run? The baby is lying on the bed!"

"Patriotic brothers." Zhang Gangzhu wanted to say a word of thanks, but he couldn't say it.

He felt that ignoring and saying anything was contempt for Li Aiguo.

Seeing Zhang Gangzhu's hesitant expression, Li Aiguo patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go quickly, my sister-in-law will take care of you later."

"Yes, yes," Zhang Gangzhu nodded heavily, turned around and ran into the house with the bowl in hand.

Immediately, there was a sound of nagging and the crying of children in the Zhang family's house.

Just through the sound, you can think of the scene of chickens and dogs jumping around.

Maybe this is life.
Li Aiguo turned around with a smile and entered the room.

I am in a good mood today.

Have a delicious meal in the morning.

Kang made two steamed buns and fried five eggs.

The only regret is that there is no milk.

If paired with two liters of milk, a simple breakfast would be considered qualified.

After eating and drinking, I cleared away the dishes.

Li Aiguo pushed his bicycle and prepared to go to work.

Before he reached the Crescent Gate, he saw Liu Haizhong running out of the house in a panic.

He ran to the faucet and shouted loudly to the residents.

"Comrades, have you heard? Lou Zhenhua is dead!"

"what?"

The residents who were squatting by the faucet eating breakfast stood up in shock.

Many residents of the courtyard are workers in the steel rolling mill.

Even if you don’t know it, you have heard of Lou Zhenhua’s name.

Also, the matter between Xu Damao and the Lou family was very controversial a while ago. Everyone was eating at it, so they naturally knew about Lou Zhenhua.

The residents' surprise made Liu Haizhong even more excited.

The fat on his face trembled, and his hands waved up and down.

"Last night, Lou Zhenhua and his concubine took advantage of the heavy rain last night to prepare to leave. It was a bit complicated. Anyway, they died."

These words are like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in circles.

"How is this possible? Lou Zhenhua is the director of the steel rolling mill, how could he do that kind of thing?!"

"Yes, Lou Zhenhua also attended the meeting of the Federation of Industry and Commerce a while ago."

"Second uncle, is your news accurate?"

Faced with the doubt, Liu Haizhong puffed out his belly and said triumphantly: "This is what was reported on the radio, what do you think?"

These days, radio is as authoritative a source of information as newspapers.In the courtyard, only Liu Haizhong's family and Yanbu Gui's family had radios.

When the residents heard this, they were convinced of the authenticity of the news.

They looked at each other, each seeing a hint of surprise in the other.

Lou Zhenhua is a well-known big shot in the capital. Before liberation, he owned steel rolling mills, hospitals, pawn shops and other industries.

At that time, very few people in China had ever ridden in a car, and even those who had seen one were very limited.

And Lou Zhenhua not only owns a car, but it is said that he also works hard to buy foreign brand-name goods.

Such a great man was just gone.

Simultaneously.

The residents also secretly praised Xu Damao's good luck.

If Xu Damao really marries Lou Xiao'e, the Xu family will definitely be implicated this time.

He Yuyu was brushing his teeth by the sink and was shocked by the news.

Ignoring wiping the toothpaste from the corner of his mouth, he raised his hand and asked: "Second uncle, did Lou Zhenhua and his concubine only mentioned on the radio? Where's Lou Xiao'e?"

"Lou Xiao'e? It wasn't mentioned on the radio." Liu Haizhong frowned, feeling that He Yuyu was a little troubled.

He Yuyu was relieved.

As long as it is not mentioned on the radio, it means that nothing happened to Lou Xiao'e.

He Yuyu didn't know what bad things Lou Zhenhua had done.

But she had dealt with Lou Xiaoe several times.

The eldest lady is very kind-hearted and will definitely not do bad things.

News of Lou Zhenhua's death continued to spread in the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai learned about this when Qin Huairu came to borrow salt from his house.

"Huairu, if you need anything at home, just come and get it."

"Master Yi, our family is indebted to you, otherwise we would not be able to survive."

Qin Huairu was sent away.

Yi Zhonghai was so worried that he couldn't even drink the stick noodle porridge.

Auntie saw Yi Zhonghai like this.

Some do not understand: "Lao Yi, Lou Zhenhua has nothing to do with our family. Even if he dies, do you still go to his grave to mourn for him?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said: "There are some things you don't know. In the past, after I met Lou Zhenhua through the help of the deaf old lady, later..."

Yi Zhonghai thought of the bad things he had done before, and felt annoyed. He waved his hands and said, "Why am I telling you this!"

A while ago, Auntie and Yi Zhonghai 'received' Lou Zhenhua.

From the intimacy between the two, I realized that the two must have had a good relationship before.

Maybe they did something together.

Now that Lou Zhenhua is in trouble, Yi Zhonghai may also be implicated.

People are dead, but there are still people alive.

If the matter is revealed, Yi Zhonghai will be in trouble.

Aunt Ma wanted to scold Yi Zhonghai, but she knew it was too late now.

He sighed and said: "Lao Yi, you might as well find the deaf old lady and discuss how to deal with it."

"If you hadn't kept me talking, I would have left long ago."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't eat anymore, so he turned around and walked out of the house to the deaf old lady's house.

The deaf old lady is still the same.

Lying on the bed, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he were dead.

Coupled with the dark and gloomy atmosphere in the house, it makes people feel a bit creepy.

Even though Yi Zhonghai had been here many times, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that the stick noodle porridge on the table was cold, he whispered: "Old lady, you always skip meals, how can you do this?"

"Zhonghai, if Silly Zhu doesn't come out, I'm so depressed that I can't eat anything." The deaf old lady opened her eyes and stared at the roof feebly.

"It is estimated that Shazhu will be sentenced next month. I asked someone to inquire. Due to his bad temper and Li Aiguo's friends who are causing trouble, I estimate that he will be sentenced severely. At least."

Yi Zhonghai was afraid that the deaf old lady wouldn't be able to bear it.

After a pause, seeing that the deaf old lady's expression did not change, she continued: "At least five years."

"Five years!"

The deaf old lady's face changed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "That boy Li Aiguo really doesn't care about the kindness between neighbors at all. That means liberation. If before liberation, I..."

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's expression changed and he quickly walked to the door and stuck his head out to look around.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, he closed the door and walked quickly to the deaf old lady.

"Old lady, don't mention things before liberation in the future. You may still not know that Lou Zhenhua is dead."

"Lou Zhenhua is dead?"

The deaf old lady was shocked, sat up suddenly, stared at Yi Zhonghai with wide eyes.

Until Yi Zhonghai nodded.

She lay back on the bed like a deflated rubber ball.

The dry lips wriggled slightly, and a cold voice came out: "I reminded Lou Zhenhua before, but it is different now. I asked him to behave with his tail between his legs, but he refused to listen. He thought he was very capable and others could not do without him. He simply has no idea what the heavens and the earth are.”

"It doesn't matter if they die. The more people in the past die, the safer we will be."

These cold words, coupled with the dark atmosphere in the room, made Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but shiver.

He felt a little cold, tightened his collar, bent down and whispered: "Lou Zhenhua is dead. But maybe others know about our past things."

"No." The deaf old lady was very confident: "Lou Zhenhua is an old fox and will not leave his hands behind."

Yi Zhonghai heaved a sigh of relief.

The deaf old lady can be said to be very sophisticated. Since she said so, there must be no problem.

"Then I'm going back. I have to go to work later."

"and many more."

Just when Yi Zhonghai turned around, the deaf old lady called out to him: "It's okay for my old lady to be alone now. You and Lou Zhenhua had contacts in the past. You can't hide this from others. In order to stop others' mouths, you should still be active." a little."

"Be positive."

Yi Zhonghai instantly understood what the deaf old lady meant, and nodded towards the deaf old lady: "Old lady, thanks to your reminder this time, I will report to Factory Director Yang on ideological work when I start work today."

Lou Zhenhua is the director of the factory and is quite powerful in the steel rolling mill.

Now that he is dead, the balance of power in the steel rolling mill must be broken.

The person who takes the lead in standing in line will definitely be appreciated by the leader.

"Director Yang is too upright. Even if you want to curry favor with him, I'm afraid you won't be able to curry favor with him."

The deaf old lady's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Yi Zhonghai's forehead, chilling him to the core.

"what do you mean"

Yi Zhonghai knew that the deaf old lady wanted to remind him, so he bent down and came closer.

"I heard that there is a new man named Li Huaide at the steel rolling mill."

The old deaf lady was there, the decadence on her face disappeared, and she seemed to be giving advice.

"Li Huaide? He is new here. Among all the deputy directors of the steel rolling mill, he ranks last. He has no power in the factory committee. Is it worth fawning over?" Yi Zhonghai frowned.

The deaf old lady taught her patiently, "You are just short-sighted. Only by burning a cold stove, playing chess, deep water, and raising big fish can you hide your late blooming talent."

"Burning a cold stove, playing chess, deep water, and raising big fish. Oh, old lady, if it weren't for your background, you would definitely be a big leader now."

Yi Zhonghai was so impressed that he fell to the ground.

Over the years, relying on the guidance of the deaf old lady, he was able to rise quickly and never reach the seventh level of benchwork.

"I will go back now to write a letter of ideological report and hand it into Li Huaide's hands."

Yi Zhonghai suddenly asked: "Old lady, how do you know about Li Huaide?"

Mentioning this matter, the deaf old lady who was originally full of youth suddenly looked a little older.

Sighing: "Silly Zhu told me that Li Huaide always looks for the little widow in the cafeteria. Do you think such a person can be a seamless egg?"

"Damn Li Aiguo."

Mentioning Silly Pillar, the deaf old lady couldn't help cursing again.

There is no trace of the demeanor that he showed just now.

Yi Zhonghai sighed in his heart: Li Aiguo is too cruel to push the deaf old lady to this point.
