The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 229 The old ox pulls the train

Beijing.

In a small cabin not far from the locomotive depot.

Liu Erfeng, the dispatcher of the Qianmen railway section, put the purchased pastries on the table and woke Liu Chunhua up.

"Sister, look what good things I bought you."

Liu Chunhua yawned and got off the bed.

Snow-white feet stretched into small leather shoes.

A pair of leather shoes worth ten yuan, just hanging around casually.

He lazily walked to the table, picked up the cake at random, took a bite, and threw it on the table.

"The craftsmanship in Daoxiang Village is getting worse and worse. It no longer has the same taste as before liberation. Don't buy it in the future."

"Yes Yes Yes"

Liu Erfeng was not angry when he saw that the cakes he had worked so hard to buy were being ruined.

Wrapping up the paper, he sat down and said, "Sister, I helped you vent your anger today."

"Er Feng, didn't I tell you not to fight with that boy Li Aiguo anymore? We have more important things to do."

Liu Chunhua covered her mouth and stretched, her sleeves slipped down, revealing two snow-white arms.

Looking at her soft light blue satin pajamas, Liu Erfeng couldn't help but admire that this sister is really capable.

This set of satin pajamas was specially customized at Chen Kee Satin Shop and was cut by Boss Chen himself.

The labor cost alone cost nearly 12 yuan.

After Director Jia was captured, Liu Erfeng lost his backer and felt depressed for a while.

Who would have thought that his sister would actually rely on a big shot again.

A big shot who could take him overseas.

Overseas, it is a world of flowers, and Liu Erfeng has long been yearning for it.

of course.

Everything has a price.

The big shot said that if you want to go overseas, you must obtain domestic railway planning drawings.

The drawings are stored in the archives room.

To gain access, one must either be a full-time archivist or be of a high enough level.

Liu Erfeng didn't like either of them.

If Director Jia was still there, he could naturally ask Director Jia to transfer him there.

Now we can only rely on our own efforts.

Liu Erfeng chuckled: "Sister, don't worry, I can kill two birds with one stone this time. I can not only let that guy Li Aiguo know how powerful I am, but I can also be transferred to the archives room."

Liu Chunhua looked at Liu Erfeng in surprise: "Erfeng, this matter is of great importance. Maybe both of us have to go in, so you have to be careful."

Half a month ago, when she was playing at a little sister's house, she met this middle-aged man named Shang Chonghou by chance.

Shang Chonghou's official identity is that he is a salesman in Qianmen Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

His position is very low, but he is generous and charming.

It is said that the family took advantage of a lot of money before liberation.

Liu Chunhua thought she had found another financial sponsor.

Who would have thought that after several good times, Shang Chonghou asked Liu Chunhua to help him steal the railway planning drawings.

Liu Chunhua is a smart woman.

Who in general would be interested in domestic railway planning drawings? !

Shang Chonghou's background is definitely not right.

In the past, Liu Chunhua was the director of the education office.

After guessing Shang Chonghou's identity, Gao Dede reported him to the maintenance section to make a great contribution.

but.

Now she has been expelled from the maintenance section, and her two old friends have fallen and lost their support.

It's better to pretend not to know the identity of the other party.

After settling the matter, follow the other party to the other side to live a happy life.

However, she has also received many years of confidentiality education and knows that this kind of thing is of great importance.

After hearing this, Liu Erfeng smiled disdainfully: "Sister, don't worry, this time I'm a beggar catching lice - I'm sure of it."

He raised his wrist to look at his watch. Seeing that it was almost time to take over, he stood up and was about to leave.

Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something. He turned around and rubbed his hands towards Liu Chunhua: "Sister, look, I am performing a task for you. Do you have to divide the activity funds given to you by your brother-in-law? Give me some?"

"What kind of activity funds are there?"

Seeing Liu Erfeng's playful smile, Liu Chunhua felt angry and funny. She reached out and touched under the pillow for a while, and pulled out a small yellow croaker and dropped it into his hand.

"Take it."

The sun shines through the window and slants on the little yellow croaker, and the golden light reflects into Liu Erfeng's eyes.

He quickly tightened his grip on the little yellow croaker: "Brother-in-law is really a great talent!"

It's just a little yellow croaker at first glance. It seems that Shang Chonghou is really a big shot.

Liu Erfeng's determination became even stronger.

The Jingmen Railway branches off from Chegongzhuang Station on the south side of Xizhimen Station, passes westward through Fifth Road, Xihuangcun, Pingguoyuan, and Sanjiadian Station, and finally reaches Mentougou Railway Station.

Based on distance calculation, the rescue train should be located between Huangxi Village and Apple Orchard.

This is a benchmark in the capital and has taken the lead in implementing communes.

Every day, the commune members are led by the production team leader to do farm work in the fields. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset. The harvest in the fields belongs to the commune. The commune members eat in the commune's big pots and stoves without spending money.

Just like workers in the city.

The members of Huangxi Village Commune had already seen the weird locomotive, but they didn't pay much attention.

Living along a railway line, who doesn't want to see dozens of trains every day?

But the speed of the locomotive became slower and slower, and finally it almost stopped, and the white smoke from the front of the locomotive became thinner.

The members felt something was wrong, and they all looked up with their hoes.

"What are you looking at? I've never seen a train lying around. Work quickly. If we don't rake this land today, our progress will be taken away by the third team!"

Huang Maocai, captain of the Second Production Team of Huangxi Village, felt a little anxious when he saw the members stop and began to curse.

"Captain, look, someone is coming down."

Huang Maocai looked along Goudan's fingers.

Sure enough, I saw two workers in railway uniforms climbing down from the front of the car and running towards this side.

One of them is in his 40s, has a public face, and is not worth mentioning at all.

The other one is amazing!
He is only eighteen or nineteen years old.The three-dimensional facial features are as handsome as a knife, and the whole person exudes a masculine aura.

Especially with the swing of the sleeves, the vaguely visible muscles made Huang Maocai, a well-known strong man from all over the country, a little jealous.

If he had such strong muscles, wouldn't the mother-in-law at home have to chirp every night?

More importantly.

This guy also has a train driver's armband pinned to his cuffs.

As residents along the railway line, members of Huangxi Village Commune often take trains and occasionally see the train driver.

The train driver is a senior master, who is not 40 or [-] years old?
Huang Maocai was stunned for a moment.

It wasn't until Li Aiguo put his hands to his mouth and shouted from the field ridge that he quickly waved to answer.

"I am the captain of the second production team of Huangxi Village."

Li Aiguo strode over with Liu Qingquan and stretched out his hand to shake him.

Huang Maocai rubbed his muddy hands on his clothes before reaching out.

"Hello, comrade captain, our employees at the Qianmen Locomotive Depot, the train is out of coal, and we would like to ask the villagers for help."

As he spoke, Li Aiguo winked at Liu Qingquan.

Only then did Liu Qingquan react. He quickly took out the big front door that Li Aiguo had given him in advance from his pocket, opened the seal, and walked around to the members one by one.

Even a few female members were not missed.

"The train is out of coal." Huang Maocai clamped the cigarette to his ear, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Comrade, workers and farmers are class brothers. Now that you are encountering difficulties, we should help you, but there is no coal in our village. ah.

We have to pass the apple orchard in front and reach the small station where there is coal. "

Li Aiguo smiled and said: "Captain Huang, we don't need coal, we need donkeys and big oxen. The more the better."

Only a donkey, a big ox, and a big ox can become the production team leader. His brains are enough and he will understand it quickly.

His eyes widened: "You want to use animals to pull the train, but the train is made of iron. Animals can't be that strong."

"Don't worry about this. There is still a small amount of coal burning on the train, which can maintain an idle speed. Now if external force is applied, it can be easily pulled."

Li Aiguo carefully explained the plan to Huang Maocai.

Huang Maocai nodded frequently after hearing this: "This is a good idea. Just wait, I will go and bring all the cattle and donkeys in the village over now."

Huang Maocai also had a fiery temper. He turned around and yelled: "Goudan, Shitou, Shuanzhu and you guys. Now the big brother worker is in trouble and needs the help of our farmer brothers. You hurry back to the village and find us." Livestockmen, bring in the oxen and donkeys.”

"Captain, the donkeys are fine. They are all left to graze behind the village. The cattle were taken to the back beach to plow the fields by Lao Wangtou from the fifth group." A younger commune member scratched his head.

Huang Maocai suddenly pulled open his coat, revealing his bronze chest, and shouted loudly: "Tell Lao Wangtou now to send the cattle immediately. If it delays the worker's big brother's affairs, even if his son is a clerk in the commune, He also has to be criticized."

"Yes Yes Yes"

Several members whose names were called threw away their hoes and ran away.

Li Aiguo was also moved by Huang Maocai's enthusiasm. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it for him.

"Captain Huang, thank you so much this time."

"Why are you so polite? If this isn't the People's Railway, let alone help, I'll take the opportunity to intercept the train and you'll be burning incense." Huang Maocai smoked a cigarette and waved his big hand back and forth, making a sign of boarding the train.

Hey guys, another one from the Railroad Right Hit Team.

Actually it is not surprising.

The people living along the railway line before liberation could not survive, so they had to rely on the railway line for food.

The members were particularly active in being able to help the big brother the workers, and it only took a moment.

A group of people drove donkeys and oxen from all directions.

Li Aiguo miscalculated and found that there were more than ten donkeys and more than 30 oxen.

It seemed that this was not from a commune. Huang Maocai was afraid that the number of animals was too small to pull the train, so he also borrowed animals from nearby communes.

"Captain Huang, where is the train? This is my first time seeing a donkey pulling a train. Today is an eye-opener."

An old man wearing a coarse cloth coat and holding a bullwhip strode over with his hands behind his back.

The old man is over 60 years old, but he doesn't look old when he walks. He is still as vigorous as ever.

In the blink of an eye, he was there.

Huang Maocai introduced to Li Aiguo: "This is Captain Han of Pingguoyuan Commune. Before liberation, he personally killed seven or eight Japanese."

"It's senior!" Li Aiguo suddenly felt respectful and stretched out his hand to shake his hand tightly.

"That's all in the past. Now I am a member of the club."

Captain Han led the members to the locomotive, walked around the locomotive, and scratched their gray hair.

"Little driver, how should I hold this thing?"

Captain Han's worry is not unreasonable. If the strength of dozens of large animals cannot be combined during the pulling process, it will be half the result with half the effort.

Li Aiguo calculated the number of animals, picked up stones and counted them on the ground, and came up with an optimal plan.

Throw away the stone.

He walked up to Captain Han and said, "Senior, you will be in the front row later, leading a cow at the front, and the ones following you will be"

After Li Aiguo arranged the order according to the plan, he left Liu Qingquan to take care of him on the ground, turned around and boarded the train.

Yan Jiecheng did not expect that Li Aiguo would borrow so many large animals in just the blink of an eye, and that so many members would come to help.

He squatted in the passenger seat, and when Li Aiguo got into the car, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Aiguo, what trick did you use to get these people to help? Back then, my father went to the countryside to exchange for food stamps. At that time, I also dealt with those farmers, and he always said that farmers are the most cunning."

Yan Bugui went to the countryside to exchange for food stamps. According to his character, he must have been trying to take advantage.

The members are poorer, but not stupid.

Who would care for such a person?
Li Aiguo checked his instrument and said with a smile: "Next time if your father earns half a catty less sweet potatoes from food stamps, the fellow villagers will definitely be willing to help."

".That's impossible." Yan Jiecheng shrank his neck and remained silent.

He started tinkering with things in the passenger seat, looking left and right, his eyes full of excitement.

This time, Yan Jiecheng was accidentally taken out of the city by train. It was a blessing in disguise that he actually sat in the passenger seat.

Well, Yan Jiecheng's rise began as a train co-driver.
Seeing that he was acting like a monkey, Li Aiguo could only reprimand him with a straight face, saying that if he dared to touch the levers of instruments or the like, he would be stuffed into the furnace and burned as loose coal.

Only then did Yan Jiecheng calm down.

At this time, Liu Qingquan's shout came from below.

"Report to the driver, comrade, we are ready!"

"Ready, pull!"

Li Aiguo slowly pulled the valve, and the remaining steam from the boiler poured into the engine along the pipes, pushing the cylinder, which drove the connecting rod, and the train speed increased slightly.

Dozens of large animals followed the whistle and pedaled hard on the back ladder. The traction rope was stretched and tightened, and the speed of the train suddenly increased.

Seeing that the big animal really moved the train, Captain Han and Captain Huang both laughed loudly.

Captain Huang shouted at the top of his lungs: "Folks, let's work harder. When we get back, you can brag to your mother-in-law that you pulled the train by yourself."

The crowd suddenly burst into laughter.

Captain Huang is good at everything, he is positive, and he is one of the front row workers in the commune. He just likes to bring up the topic of lesbians.
