The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 314: After returning home from the wedding, Liang Ladi reappears
I didn't come home for three days after the wedding.

Li Aiguo and his wife went out early in the morning with various gifts and prepared to go to Chen Ji Tailor Shop.

Because this was the first time I came to my house after my marriage, I brought a lot of things with me.

Five kilograms of mutton, seven kilograms of sheep bones, two bottles of Maotai, an air force, a large bag of glutinous rice cakes, and two hanging pig intestines given by Wang Gangzhu.

Even though the bicycle was big enough, it took a lot of effort to install it on the car.

"Brother Patriot, are you bringing too many things? We still have to live by ourselves." Chen Xueru was a little angry with the rough guy. This was too generous.

"Hey, isn't this the first time we've been here since we got married? Besides, we didn't have a homecoming party a while ago."

Li Aiguo rubbed Chen Xueru's little head.

In just a few days, Chen Fangxuan's little cotton-padded jacket was pierced by him.

The two pushed the bicycle outside.

Just entered the front yard.

I saw Yan Bugui and Yan Jiekuang milling around the motor under the eaves.

"Third uncle, you are busy!" Li Aiguo greeted with a smile.

Chen Xueru also said hello: "Good morning, third uncle."

"Hey, are you going to my father-in-law's house?" Yan Bugui straightened up and became greedy when he saw the things on the car.

He also heard Yan Jiecheng talk about the locomotive maintenance section giving Li Aiguo dozens of kilograms of mutton.

The mutton was only given to the train drivers, not even the leaders in the locomotive depot.

The train driver is so cool!
"Patriot, when will my Jie Cheng become a train driver?"

Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and stretched out his greasy hand to pull Li Aiguo's arm.

However, Li Aiguo glared back. He could only laugh and rub his hands: "Xie Cheng is still young and always carries a big bag. It's not a problem."

"The locomotive depot has training classes every year. He can sign up first, then start working as a stoker, and after passing the examination in a few years, he can become a train driver."

Li Aiguo stopped and explained the train driver's promotion system in detail.

"It's so difficult." Yan Bugui suddenly became discouraged, "You have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to become a train driver."

"Train drivers have a heavy responsibility, and they must also be cautious in the locomotive depot."

Li Aiguo actually does not support Yan Jiecheng becoming a train driver.

This guy's character is too frivolous, his eyes are high but his hands are low.

Yan Bugui was a little disappointed to see that there was no hope for a short time.

He turned around and was about to continue working, but suddenly stopped again.

He pointed at the electric grinding wheel and said, "Patriot, can you repair this thing?"

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know what happened. Yan Jiekuang must have been pedaling too hard."

"Dad, you were the one calling me with all your strength." Yan Jiekuang was about to cry but had no tears.

Li Aiguo parked his bicycle, walked over and took a look, but didn't see anything.

"You'd better take it to the car repair shop and ask Liu Haizhu to take a look."

"That guy is too shady. It costs at least [-] cents to repair it." Yan Bugui was stingy.

Li Aiguo gave him an idea: "The mechanics in the machine repair shop can also repair this thing. Go and find out."

"This is a good idea!" Yan Bugui opened his eyes wide with excitement and praised Li Aiguo for his good idea.

Most people really wouldn't go to a suburban machine repair shop more than ten miles away for a few cents.

But Yan Bugui is a man who will lose money if he doesn't pick it up when he goes out.

"You're welcome."

Li Aiguo said casually and raised his wrist to check the time: "Third uncle, it's getting late. My father-in-law should be waiting in a hurry soon."

"Go, go, say hello to me and your father-in-law." Yanbu Guixi said happily.

Chen Fangxuan is a very particular person.

Although Yan Bugui is the matchmaker for the man, he still gave Yan Bugui half a catty of brown sugar as a matchmaking gift a while ago.

The young couple pushed their bicycles out of the courtyard.

Run along the spacious street to Chen Kee Tailor Shop.

At this time, Chen Kee Tailor Shop has reopened after renovation.

The Daqianmen Sub-district Office has not dispatched a public manager for the time being.

The private manager Chen Fangxuan took over temporarily, but sent a middle-aged female seamstress to serve as a full-time seamstress.

Chen Fangxuan was hanging around the door of the shop early in the morning.

Seeing the young couple coming on a bicycle, he quickly shouted into the shop at the top of his lungs: "Xiao Zhang, please look after the shop."

"Did your daughter and son-in-law come to your door? Manager Chen, please go back quickly. I'm here to greet you." Tailor Zhang put down his work and raised his head and said.

Chen Fangxuan was very satisfied with Tailor Zhang.

This seamstress was an old seamstress before liberation. She has good skills and is practical in her work.

Later, her husband died of illness, leaving her alone.

Tailor Zhang was also an infatuated person and never remarried.

Now I live alone, without worries, and almost regard the tailor shop as my own home.

Chen Xueru did not come to work at the tailor shop this time.

Thanks to Tailor Zhang, Chen Fangxuan was not in a hurry.

With Tailor Zhang watching over the shop, Chen Fangxuan felt relieved, turned around, walked into the backyard, and opened the door at the back.

Seeing so many things hanging on the bicycle, Chen Fangxuan took the things with a smile and said angrily: "Patriot, why did you buy so many things? Isn't this a waste of money!"

"Most of them were issued by the locomotive maintenance department, and they didn't cost any money." Li Aiguo handed him the bag of cakes and carried a few heavy items into the house.

"Your eldest brother and sister-in-law have work today and will come over at noon."

Putting the things on the square table in the main room, Chen Fangxuan helped Li Aiguo pour tea and handed him a cigarette: "Aiguo, sit down quickly."

Chen Xueru on the side rolled her eyes.

She is such a big person, can't Chen Fangxuan see her?
He hurriedly picked up the fan and fanned Li Aiguo.

Taking the cigarette, he took out the lighter and lit it. Li Aiguo helped Chen Fangxuan light the cigarette again: "Dad, how is the shop lately?"

"It went very well. After Fan Jinyou's incident, the street paid special attention to our tailor shop and specially selected one of the best tailors."

While the two were chatting, the courtyard door was pushed open.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law walked in one after another.

After not seeing each other for a few days, my sister-in-law's belly has grown a lot, and her large overalls can no longer close.

"Patriot is back, please work hard on your mission." The eldest brother Chen Xingjia greeted Li Aiguo enthusiastically.

The sister-in-law went straight into the house. When she saw the meat on the table, her eyes almost lit up: "Little sister, where did you get so much mutton?"

"It's from Duan Zhongli." The corners of Chen Xueru's mouth raised slightly.

This silly girl was so proud that she didn't see her sister-in-law in the house, so she secretly cut a large piece of mutton, wrapped it in newspaper, and hid it in the corner of the cupboard.

"Hey, Qingfang, what are you doing!" Chen Xingjia just stood up to pour tea and looked at him.

The sister-in-law was startled, hurriedly closed the cupboard door, covered her heart and said: "Why are you making such a fuss? It's just a piece of meat. It's so much, and our dad can't finish it by himself. What's the matter if I take it back to my parents' house to order some?" ?”

"This is a patriotic gift. If you want to take it, you have to wait until they leave."

"My mother-in-law's family hasn't seen the smell of meat for a year. As a son-in-law, don't you know how to buy some meat to visit her old man?"

On weekdays, Zhao Qingfang often brings things back to help her parents and her unfulfilled brother.

Even if Chen Xingjia knew it, he wouldn't say anything.

It's just that today is the first day that the new uncle comes to visit.

Zhao Qingfang hid most of the mutton sent by others.

What will the new uncle think of the Chen family?

Will you look down on Chen Xueru because of this?
It's okay for Chen Xingjia to feel a little wronged, and he doesn't want to affect his sister.

At that time, he entered the house and started arguing with Zhao Qingfang.

The originally harmonious atmosphere in the small courtyard was broken by the quarrel.

Chen Fangxuan's face was so dark that ink dripped from it.

"Patriot, today you came to the door for the first time and you made a joke."

Li Aiguo smiled and said, "Dad, you are worrying too much. If our life is not like this, how can any family be free from conflicts?"

While chatting here, the war over there is over.

Although the sister-in-law was so aggressive, she actually felt a little weak in her heart, so she finally put the piece of mutton back.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law came out of the house, and there was nothing strange on their faces.

If he hadn't heard the noise just now, Li Aiguo would have thought nothing happened.

Hitting someone or not hitting someone in the face, Li Aiguo also pretended not to know and started chatting with his eldest brother.

The sister-in-law and Chen Xueru murmured for a while, then suddenly raised their heads and asked: "Aiguo, you are treated so well in the maintenance section, can you think of a way to bring your eldest brother in too."

Why are you focusing on the locomotive depot today?
Li Aiguo laughed and said: "My eldest brother works as a third-level machine carpenter in a lumber factory and can earn more than 40 yuan a month. When he enters the maintenance section, he can only start as a porter, and his salary is much less."

Hearing this, the sister-in-law shrank her neck and remained silent.

Chen Fangxuan seemed to feel that today's sister-in-law was really outrageous.

He patted the table and said, "It's almost noon, sir. Xueru is back today and he is a guest. You should hurry up and cook."

"I'm going right now."

Although my sister-in-law is a little reluctant.

But he didn't dare to disobey the old man's intention, so he went into the kitchen and got busy.

Chen Xueru didn't regard herself as a guest. After sitting in the main room for a while, she quietly slipped into the kitchen to help.

The laughter of my sister-in-law and sister-in-law soon sounded in the kitchen.

The voice gradually lowered, and finally turned into a private conversation between the aunt and the sister-in-law.

"Ah, Xueru, your man is a donkey?"

Next came Chen Xueru's voice of grievance: "Sister-in-law, Brother Patriot said this is normal. Do you and my brother do the same?"

The sister-in-law hesitated and said: "It should be the same. It's been a long time and I forgot about it."

"Really?" Chen Xueru was suspicious.

The shocked sister-in-law didn't want to lose face, so she whispered in Chen Xueru's ear: "Xueru, when you have dinner at noon, don't leave in a hurry. My sister-in-law will teach you a few more tricks. As long as you do this first, then It will be too much for your man to keep you safe like that."

"Ah, sister-in-law, how embarrassing." Chen Xueru was so embarrassed that she couldn't even lift her face.

The sister-in-law taught her as someone who had been through it: "Everything between a man and a woman is a matter of course. There is nothing to be ashamed of."

The two of them didn't realize that the kitchen door was not closed tightly, and those whispers slipped out through the crack in the door.

Li Aiguo narrowed his eyes slightly.

Because of my sister-in-law's enthusiasm, I should get more mutton and let her take it back.

When Chen Fangxuan saw Chen Xueru limping back today, he knew what was going on.

The young couple is newlyweds, which is the time when they are interested.

It's hard for him, as an elder, to say anything about being diligent occasionally.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Fangxuan felt that it was a little too much.After hesitating for a moment, he looked at Li Aiguo: "Aiguo. You are still young, so you should cherish your own body."

Li Aiguo, who has always been shameless, also became a big blush at this time.

The eldest brother interjected from the side: "Qingfang made me a piece of earthwork a while ago, saying it can repair my body. I will ask Xueru to take it back later."

This uncle can still handle it!

Li Aiguo was preparing to express his gratitude.

The kitchen door opened. My sister-in-law and Chen Xueru had already prepared the meal and walked out with the meal.

Today's meal is richer than usual.

Fried eggs with green peppers, ground three delicacies, stir-fried mutton, shredded potatoes, and a plate of braised pork.

Because Li Aiguo and his eldest brother are both workers and do heavy physical work on weekdays, the food is also spicy, with a layer of red pepper floating on it.

Seeing the food put on the table, Chen Fangxuan asked his sister-in-law to separate out some of the various dishes and deliver them to Tailor Zhang in the shop in front.

The sister-in-law responded, took the lunch box and packed some food, opened the door of the compartment and walked in.

Chen Fangxuan saw Li Aiguo's confused face and explained with a smile: "Tailor Zhang lives alone. He doesn't go back at noon on weekdays, so he stays in the shop."

Chen Xueru smiled strangely and said, "We should invite Aunt Zhang over and let's have dinner together."

"She is a very particular person. I have already invited her once in the morning, but she was unwilling." Chen Fangxuan said.

Look at Chen Fangxuan's embarrassed look, and then look at Chen Xueru's winking look.

Li Aiguo's eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in his heart, is the old tree going to bloom? !
Thinking about it, Chen Fangxuan is actually less than 50 years old now. Because he has never done any heavy physical work, he looks younger than the average person.

It would be nice to find a suitable wife.

Perhaps because he was afraid that his daughter and son-in-law might notice something, Chen Fangxuan stood up as if to cover up and took out a bottle of Laofen wine from the cabinet.

The eldest brother took it, poured it for the three of them, and picked up the wine glass with a smile: "Aiguo, from now on, we are a family. As the eldest brother, I would like to propose a toast to you first."

After getting along with each other for a while, Li Aiguo also saw that this uncle was a real person.

He didn't show any airs. He picked up his wine glass and had a drink with Chen Fangxuan and his eldest brother: "Yes, we will be a family from now on!"

This was meant for the Chen family, and also for himself.

After saying this, the three of them raised their heads and drank the wine in their glasses.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became lively, and the slight barriers in the past gradually disappeared.

evening.

The fire clouds in the sky are burning beautifully.

The new daughter-in-law, Chen Xueru, was riding a bicycle alongside Li Aiguo. The young couple were whispering to each other, and their loving style was filled with the sweet smell of dog food.

As soon as the young couple entered the door, they saw Nan Yi running out of the yard in a panic.

This guy looked like he had been chased by a dog. He didn't care about looking at the road on the sidewalk and almost hit Li Aiguo's bicycle.

"Hey, hey, Nanyi, have you stolen from someone else?"

"It's Driver Li who's back."

Nan Yi stopped, turned his head to look behind him in horror, and ran away without saying anything: "I have something urgent, let's talk later!"

After a moment.

A pretty figure chased out of the yard.

"Nanyi, don't leave, Damao misses you."

Liang Ladi chased her out of the yard.

Seeing that Nan Yi had disappeared, he stamped his feet angrily.

Her hands were stained with engine oil, and she was probably helping the Yanbu family repair their electric wheel.

Seeing Li Aiguo, Liang Ladi was a little embarrassed: "Driver Li, if you want to modify the bicycle, just come to me. We happen to have a used tractor engine in the workshop."

".I have no plans for that at the moment."

Li Aiguo doesn't want black smoke to emit from the back of his bicycle.

Chatting.

The three of them walked into the yard.

Liang Ladi suddenly stopped: "Driver Li, speaking of which, I have to thank you."

"why?"

"If you hadn't asked Yan Bugui to ask me to repair the electric wheel, I wouldn't have known that this guy Nan Yi had moved to this yard."

When Liang Ladi thought about this, she became very angry.

In order to avoid her pursuit, Nan Yi even transferred his family from the machinery factory to the steel rolling mill.

At this time, Yan Bugui was still waiting under the eaves.

Seeing Liang Ladi coming back, she stepped forward and complained: "Master Liang, you are here to repair things, why did you run away?"

"Meet an acquaintance."

Liang Ladi turned her head and said goodbye to Li Aiguo. She picked up the wrench and squatted in front of the grinding wheel to start working.

Yan Bugui stood aside and said with a smile: "Master Liang, when will this thing be repaired? I'm still waiting to use it."

"No matter what, it will still take ten days and a half a month or two or three months." Liang Ladi rolled her eyes and knocked here and there with the wrench.

".Are you reliable?" Yan Bugui's eyes widened.

Just kidding, he was still waiting to listen to the radio.

bang.

Throwing the wrench to the ground, Liang Ladi raised her head: "Teacher Yan, if you think I'm unreliable, you can find someone else!"

Hearing this, Yan Bugui suddenly panicked: "Reliable, Master Liang, you are a third-level mechanic, absolutely reliable! Just repair it slowly, I can wait."

Although Liang Ladi looks unreliable.

But there’s no charge for repairing things!
The worst case scenario is to reconnect the power supply and make do with it for a while.

Chen Xueru ate the melon but didn't understand it. On the way home, she pulled Li Aiguo and asked, "Is Master Liang pursuing Nan Yi?"

"This Liang Ladi is a great person." Li Aiguo told the story about Liang Ladi and Nan Yi.

The little girl was instantly immersed in the poignant love between the two, wiped her tears and said, "We should match them up."

"Ha, you underestimate Liang Ladi too much. Don't worry, Nanyi will definitely be captured by Liang Ladi in less than a month."

joke.

That is to say, Liang Ladi hasn't figured it out yet.

After he figured it out, he took off his clothes and got into Nan Yi's bed when no one was around. Nan Yi would marry Liang Ladi that night.

back home.

The drawings for the dump truck are almost complete.

Li Aiguo plans to finish it tonight.

Then I can take it with me when I go to visit the teacher tomorrow.

Chen Xueru was busy like a hardworking little bee at this time.

First he swept the floor and wiped the table, then set up the sewing machine and mended the torn cheongsams.

Li Aiguo is also a veteran at tearing clothes off.

It’s just that I used to tear off stockings, but now I have to tear off cheongsam, and the techniques are similar.

The cheongsam looks torn to pieces, but in fact it is torn along the threads.

Chen Xueru is very ingenious.

Coupled with the sewing machine, which is a great tool for sewing clothes, it only took a moment to sew the entire cheongsam.

She seemed to feel a little unsatisfied, so she opened the door of the back room and shouted to the rough man: "Brother Patriot, do you have any torn clothes? Take them out and I will mend them for you."

".There should be."

Li Aiguo put down his pencil, stood up, walked to the cabinet, and dug out his old clothes.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Chen Xueru standing behind him.

"Your clothes are all in tatters." Chen Xueru frowned.

I originally wanted to teach him a few words, but I was relieved when I thought that Li Aiguo never paid attention to these things, but was proud of them.

Old overalls with torn pockets, a vest with fishnet holes, and denim pants with torn knees
"Hey"

Picking up a pair of socks or sleeves with her little hands, Chen Xueru couldn't bear it any longer: "I can't wear this anymore. I'll knit a pair for you later."

"Listen to my wife."

Li Aiguo chuckled, patted her butt, sat back on the chair, picked up a pencil and got busy.

"You are becoming more and more immoral." Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at him and continued to take things out of the cabinet.

Looking at the hanging silk pants in her hand, Chen Xueru's face turned red with embarrassment, and she wanted to throw it away at that time.

She hesitated for a long time, and finally took him in her arms.

There is no way to mend this thing by hand, so I tried to use old cloth to mend the front rail so that it can still be used.

They are all men of her own family. She has already had a divorce, so why should she be ashamed?

Next time I go home, I will be laughed at by my sister-in-law again!

Chen Xueru took a deep breath, hugged her pants generously, and sat in front of the sewing machine.

evening.

Li Aiguo finally drew the complete set of drawings, stood up, stretched, yawned, opened the door and walked to the main room.

In front of the sewing machine, Chen Xueru pedaled rhythmically with her long legs.

The setting sun shone through the glass window and fell on her curvy body, giving her a divine brilliance.

It’s just that the silk trousers on the sewing machine are a bit disappointing.

Li Aiguo walked over slowly, gently held her waist from behind, and rubbed her fair face: "Daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work."

At this time, Chen Xueru, who already had a sore back, lay down in the rough man's arms and smiled sweetly: "I am your daughter-in-law, and this is what I should do. As long as you treat me well in the future, keep me in your heart."

"Come on, I'll keep you in my heart now." Li Aiguo closed the window and pulled Chen Xueru into the back room without any explanation.

"No, it's not good for people to see it in broad daylight."

Chen Xueru had already regarded herself as a little wife, but she was still a little uncomfortable with the rough man's behavior.

She hesitated and wanted to push the rough man away, but suddenly there was an electric current running through her body and she became soft and weak. She could only hold the rough man's neck with both hands and breathe rapidly.

I don't know how long it took.

All in all, it was over an hour.

Chen Xueru's cheeks were covered with bright red, she snuggled next to the rough man like a water snake, and said with spring eyes: "I know how to torment people."

"The trick you did just now to recruit the gods from outside the world was also very powerful."

Flying fairy
Chen Xueru frowned slightly, and then she understood after thinking about it.

He raised his fist in shame and anger and beat the rough man's solid chest several times.

But she vaguely remembered that when her sister-in-law was teaching her, the trick didn't seem to be called this name, it was called Guanyin or something like that.

Li Aiguo gently grabbed her little hand.

He smiled: "Daughter-in-law, do you want to eat some popsicles?"
