The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 318 Lao Mao’s gift and Yi Zhonghai’s insidious plan
This night, Li Aiguo slept in darkness.

I didn't get up until nearly eight o'clock.

Chen Xueru had already made breakfast and placed it on the table, but he didn't even bother to eat it.

bar.

Leaning down and taking a bite on Miss Chen's fair face, Li Aiguo grabbed a steamed bun and strode out of the house.

"Hey, the emperor still needs hungry soldiers. Let's finish our meal before leaving."

"It's too late. The project officially starts today. As the deputy commander-in-chief, I cannot be late."

Li Aiguo swallowed the steamed buns three times, five times, two times, and pushed the bicycle out.

Yesterday I sent three fishes, but nothing happened.

Yan Bugui stayed awake for half the night and was waiting at the gate early in the morning with dark circles under his eyes.

Seeing Li Aiguo approaching, Yan Bugui quickly stood up and greeted him: "Aiguo, last night, I..."

Li Aiguo was in a hurry to get to work, so he didn't bother to tell him this. He asked directly: "Do you want Yan Jiecheng to join the project team?"

"Alas" Yan Bugui didn't dare to be cunning this time.

"The project team is short of some porters. If Yan Jiecheng is willing, I can transfer him over."

"Yes, yes!"

Yan Bugui's heart hanging in the air finally fell to the ground.

He was also about to say a few words of gratitude, but Li Aiguo had already mounted his bicycle and bolted away.

The third aunt came up from behind and said, "Lao Yan, I just told you that Patriot is not the kind of ruthless and unrighteous child. I'll scare you."

"Don't I feel sorry for you?" Yan Bugui blushed.

When Li Aiguo rode his bicycle to the project department of the locomotive depot, Director Zhang was already waiting there with a group of team members.

"Driver Li, the technical personnel from each factory who came to support us today are already in place. Here is the list. Please take a look." Director Zhang handed over a list.

On it is written the worker's age, technical level, type of work, and the factory to which he belongs.

Li Aiguo just glanced at it and handed it back: "Old Zhang, why are there so many first-level skilled workers on top?"

"It's like this. Senior technical masters often need the cooperation of their apprentices." Director Zhang explained.

Li Aiguo asked: "How long does it take to be promoted from a first-level worker to a second-level worker?"

"Second-level workers are actually just skilled workers, and their technical requirements are not high. Even for ordinary workers, one year is enough." Director Zhang has a technical background and understands it very well.

"So, those workers who have not been promoted to second-level workers have problems with their work attitude?" Li Aiguo said.

Director Zhang's expression changed.

In fact, the difficulty of processing train cars is not high. The most important thing is that it requires precision.

If those first-level workers who are not honest are negligent at work and cause problems with the structural strength of the carriage, then there will be big trouble.

These carriages have to be sent to the leaders of the research institute and even the department leaders for demonstration, which is related to the development of railway transportation technology.

"Patriot, you are right to remind me. I will immediately notify those skilled workers to conduct a basic skills test."

Director Zhang is a good old man.

Even if they are aware of this, they are unwilling to expel those workers just because of their level.

Li Aiguo nodded and said, "Sorry to trouble you."

at this time.

Jia Dongxu followed Yi Zhonghai to the maintenance workshop of the locomotive depot.

He first walked around the workshop with his hands behind his back, taking square steps.

Looking at the various advanced equipment in the workshop and the neatly dressed locomotive section employees, Jia Dongxu's eyes flashed with envy, and he curled his lips disdainfully and said: "Master, the treatment of these grandsons in the locomotive section is also very good.

We are also a key factory, why don’t we even have NTU fans? "

"Stop talking nonsense."

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly pulled his arm and reminded him: "The name will be registered soon. Please don't cause trouble later."

"Don't worry, master." Jia Dongxu nodded and assured.

at this time.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang came over from a distance, stood at the registration desk and scanned the crowd with his eyes.

He said loudly: "In view of the importance of this project, our project office needs to conduct a basic skills test on the workers involved in the construction. Only those who pass the test can officially join the project team."

Most of the people who can come to participate in the construction assistance are senior workers, and a simple skill test cannot trouble them at all.

So most of the workers had no objection and just nodded silently.

There were only a few people with connections whose faces turned ugly when they heard that they wanted to test their skills, including Jia Dongxu.

"Master, why do you need a skill test?" He took Yi Zhonghai's arm and asked.

"I haven't tested it before." Yi Zhonghai thought of what happened last night, and his face suddenly turned livid: "Li Aiguo must be doing something wrong in there."

It seems that this guy has really become the person in charge of the project.

Yi Zhonghai's mood suddenly darkened.

But there is no way.

After all, human rights are used in the locomotive depot.

"Dongxu, why don't you give it a try? Maybe you can pass."

Jia Dongxu knew that with his three-legged cat skills, he would not be able to pass the test.

I was unhappy at that time and clamored for an explanation from the project team.

"We came all the way here to help you, aren't you just kidding us by doing this?"

"We can't agree!"

This remark was echoed by several second-rate men.

"Yeah, we finally got here and just go back like this, what's going on!"

"The Qianmen locomotive depot is bullying people!"

"Everyone, please don't take the skills test. I'll see what they do!"

For a time, the crowd in front of the project office was excited.

Director Zhang is a good old man. When he saw the workers getting angry, he wanted to explain a few words.

"Dear comrades workers, the test is only to ensure the construction of the carriage."

"Are you kidding? The quality of your carriages has nothing to do with us. If we don't give you an explanation today, no one will let me leave."

But those second-rate guys were just here to make trouble. Instead of listening to him, they became even more arrogant.

Some even picked up steel sticks, stood on the machine, and shouted at the top of their lungs.

The atmosphere at the scene was almost the same as when we held the event.

Director Zhang was sweating on his forehead, but there was nothing he could do.

"Get out!"

At this time, a cold voice came from behind him, and Li Aiguo strode out.

He glanced sharply at the faces of those second-rate men and said seriously: "Our locomotive depot does not support idlers!"

The voice just fell.

Minister Niu, who had been waiting nearby, rushed over with his people.

Most of the comrades in the Armed Forces Department of the Locomotive Maintenance Section are from the railway corps and have really seen blood.

They rushed into the crowd with wooden sticks and beat up the troublemakers.

Although the wooden stick is no match for the steel rod, the key is that there is a heavy machine gun mounted on the window next to it.

This thing is rare. Just the thick barrel of the gun can scare a group of people.

Those second-rate guys are just paying lip service.

At this meeting, the maintenance section really dared to take action. He covered his head and instantly turned into birds and beasts.

"The locomotive depot is beating someone up, what the hell are you doing!"

Jia Dongxu held his butt and refused to leave. He was hit hard twice in the face and suddenly couldn't speak any words.

Two comrades took his arms and threw him outside the locomotive depot.

Jia Dongxu sat on the roadside crying without tears.

Getting beaten is a trivial matter.

It's not like I haven't experienced it before.
The key is that his big words have already been blown out, so how can he have the nerve to return to the workshop?

No way.

Jia Dongxu could only return to the courtyard in silence, preparing to hide at home for a few days.

Seeing Jia Dongxu come back before noon, with two bruises on his face, Jia Zhang was surprised and said: "Son, didn't you go to participate in the construction aid?"

"Forget it, mother, registration has already started, but Li Aiguo's grandson caused trouble and kicked me out." Jia Dongxu sat on the chair, took the hot towel handed over by Qin Huairu, and said angrily.

"It's Li Aiguo again!" Mrs. Jia Zhang was so angry that she gritted her teeth and her triangular eyes squinted: "We didn't beat him to death at the beginning, so he has to make trouble with us again and again!"

Qin Huairu: "."

Jia Zhang's brain circuit is quite strange.

It's just that she is concerned about something else now.

"Dongxu, Li Aiguo really became the leader of the project?"

Jia Dongxu was feeling annoyed when he heard this and rolled his eyes: "What's wrong, do you regret it?"

"No. Dongxu." Qin Huairu quickly explained: "I'm afraid he will retaliate against us in the future."

Jia Dongxu's face turned cold.

Judging from Li Aiguo's appearance, he must have made progress again.

If this continues, when he becomes bigger and stronger, will the Jia family still be able to benefit?
No.

You have to find a way to pull him down.

the other side.

Li Aiguo's iron-blooded tactics completely suppressed the group of workers who came to aid the construction.

Those seventh-level and eighth-level workers are usually the top figures in the factory. They even dare to talk to the factory leaders, but at this time, they obeyed the arrangements of the project team honestly.

After all, no one wants to be kicked out now.

Shame!
I don't want to be shot by a machine gun.

Director Zhang successfully arranged the work and finally breathed a sigh of relief and praised: "Patriot, if you hadn't found the comrades from the Armed Forces Department, I really don't know what I would have done."

"Lao Zhang, the workers in the factory are different from the workers in our locomotive depot."

Li Aiguo's words were very vague, but Director Zhang understood.

Most of the workers in the locomotive depot are former railway soldiers. They are only organized and disciplined teams who can risk their lives for the mission.

Local workers are a mixed bag.

He had already made a big mistake by treating local workers the same way he treated railway soldiers.

*

Soldiers are very fast.

On the first day when the skilled workers entered the maintenance workshop, they were divided into teams according to different types of work and started working.

To save time.

24 carriages are being built at the same time, with more than ten types of work including welders, fitters, and cutters working together.

The compound of the maintenance workshop has turned into a huge construction site.

Construction technology is handled by the finishing workshop.

The construction drawings were produced by the first research team led by Lao Dong.

Li Aiguo took on the important task of quality supervision.

He led several officers to patrol the construction site constantly.

Li Aiguo soon felt that he still underestimated the senior workers of this era.

Take the group of eighth-level fitters, for example, who are proficient in carving, filing, sawing, and scribing on the bench.

It is enough to "sharpen what a grinding machine cannot, saw what a saw cannot, and hold a file in hand and file an aircraft carrier."

The welder held the welding gun in his hand, and there was a sizzling sound.

The welds are all bright fish scale welds.

All of these guys are 'Welding Emperors'!

The blacksmith's hammer was swung with great vigor.

Only a few clanging sounds were heard, and the originally crooked workpiece suddenly became square and square.

Liu Haizhong from the blacksmith team saw Li Aiguo approaching, rolled his eyes, stood up and walked over with his waist hunched over.

"Hey, Patriot, you have become a leader!" Mo Yan, who looked proud of Liu Haizhong, clasped his fists and congratulated: "Congratulations, congratulations, I will have to call you Commander-in-Chief Li from now on."

"Well, look at what you said, I'm not a leader. I'm just a temporary transfer who is trusted by the organization." Li Aiguo waved his hand and said: "I won't chat with you anymore. I have to go to the benchwork site to keep an eye on it for a while."

"You're busy, you're busy." Liu Haizhong said quickly.

No matter whether Li Aiguo is temporary or not.

Now he is the deputy commander-in-chief, so it is always good to have a good relationship.

No, as soon as Liu Haizhong returned to his work station, an eighth-level engineer from the Second Steel Plant came to strike up a conversation.

The eighth-level worker who just ignored Liu Haizhong now had a smile on his face: "Master Liu, do you know Commander Li?" "Oh, we are from the same compound and live in our house. Opposite the door." Liu Haizhong said proudly.

"Hey, in the future, your brother will have to take more care of his brother."

"Good to say, good to say"

Li Aiguo didn't know yet that he had been pulled out of a tiger's skin, and he was already inspecting the fitter site.

Yi Zhonghai has been working honestly since Jia Dongxu was driven away.

He didn't even dare to take a break while drinking water, for fear of being caught by Li Aiguo.

What was originally an easy construction assistance job turned into a big production sprint at the end of the year.

At the end of the morning, my arms were so sore that I couldn't lift them up, and my fingers kept trembling.

Seeing Li Aiguo drinking tea leisurely, Yi Zhonghai's blood surged and he almost fainted.

"Comrade Patriot, Minister Niu invites you to come over."

Li Aiguo was about to check the quality of the fitters when a cadre in work clothes hurried over.

"Old Zhang, please keep an eye on this place."

Li Aiguo confessed and hurriedly left the maintenance workshop.

Yi Zhonghai's perked ears trembled, and his mood became even heavier.

He had already inquired with Yan Jiecheng just now.

Li Aiguo was only temporarily transferred to deputy commander-in-chief and did not become a section leader.

But with Li Aiguo's momentum, I am afraid that he is not far away from becoming a leader.

By the time.
Thinking of the things that offended Li Aiguo in the past, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but shudder.

This guy dares to blow up the Jia family
*

Li Aiguo entered Minister Niu's office.

Seeing that besides Minister Niu, there were three other comrades wearing black Mao suits, I suddenly felt a little strange.

Especially those three comrades all gave people a strange feeling like they were comrades in a group of five.

"Captain Duan, you have something to do with me."

"These are Lao Mao's family members. They passed by the capital and specially gave me some local specialties."

Li Aiguo, Lao Mao's family member, instantly realized the identities of these people.

He took the initiative to step forward and shook hands: "Old Mao, are their health okay?"

"Don't worry, everyone is alive and well." The leader held Li Aiguo's hand and said with a smile: "Old Cat also asked me to tell you that some people thought the goldfish were a bit ugly and decided to take the goldfish out of the fish tank. "

"That's great!"

Li Aiguo instantly became energetic.

It seems that the fish farming plan has come to an end. After several failures, the other party decided to take action on the goldfish.

There is nothing more exciting than knowing that your plans are about to succeed.

"The old cat also said that you have been a guest at home several times, and each time you have brought big gifts. As the master, he deserves to reciprocate in person, but he is very busy at work, so he specially entrusted us to bring the gifts." Black The tunic continued.

Only then did Li Aiguo notice the things on the ground: a whole box of Maotai liquor, sea cucumbers and abalone packed in flour bags.
"Old Mao told me that these are for my younger siblings."

The black Chinese tunic suit opened another sack, which contained dozens of kilograms of smoked and dried bacon, as well as a complete leopard skin.
He even saw two black, bloody bear paws that made Li Aiguo's eyes twitch.

To put it bluntly, in future generations, every single person in the room would have to be arrested.

So many things can no longer be regarded as human relations.

Li Aiguo took the arm of the black tunic and said, "Comrade, I'll keep the wine, and you can take the other things back. If you accept this, you will make a mistake."

The man in black Chinese tunic suit smiled and said: "Comrade Patriot, you may have misunderstood. These are gifts, rewards, and even more so, a thank you gift."

"Besides, we never make mistakes when giving out gifts!"

His tone was calm, but he revealed unquestionable power.

Li Aiguo also understood.

I helped Lao Mao solve two cases.

Due to identity issues, Laomao has no way to distribute rewards at the organizational level.

That's why I asked someone to send me gifts as a reward for my labor.

Li Aiguo really wants to say something: I don’t ask for anything in return.

But I was afraid of breaking the old cat's heart.

The old team leader was also a stubborn person.

Forget it.

Accept it reluctantly.

Li Aiguo originally wanted to give Lao Mao some gifts in return.

Thinking about it carefully, the old cat might be busy catching goldfish at the moment, so he gave up.

I just asked the black tunic to say hello to me.

The etiquette is less important than the intention.

None of the three men in black Chinese tunic suits were of a family-like nature. After the matter was settled, they saluted Li Aiguo and turned around to leave.

After the three people left, Minister Niu came out of the back room. When he saw the things on the ground, he felt envious in his eyes.

"Patriot, did your boy commit a shocking case?"

"Absolutely." Li Aiguo thought about it, and the goldfish case was indeed a shock.

When Minister Niu heard this, he suddenly became curious and wanted to ask a few questions, but in the end no sound came out.

He lamented: "Oh, I also slacked off when I got to the place, and almost forgot the discipline."

There were too many gifts this time. Li Aiguo looked at Minister Niu and said, "Minister, why don't you give these things to the comrades in Duanli?"

"No, if you dare to give it away, we really don't dare to ask for it." Minister Niu took two steps back in fright.

If those people knew, he would give the things to others.

Regardless of whether Li Aiguo did it voluntarily or not, he would not end up well.

Minister Niu didn't want to be pulled out of bed in the middle of the night for inspection.

It was almost noon at this time.

Li Aiguo went to the project department and walked around again. When he saw that everything was as usual, he returned to the courtyard with gifts.

Too many gifts can be a hassle.

The bicycle was blocked by the threshold, and Li Aiguo was able to carry the bicycle into the courtyard with the help of passing Liang Ladi.

In the past few days, Liang Ladi often went to the courtyard to see Nan Yi under the guise of helping Yanbu Gui repair the electric grinder.

"Driver Li, where did you get so many good things?" Liang Ladi asked smoothly.

"From a friend."

Li Aiguo said a few words casually, and pushed his bicycle to go inside.

At this time, Jia Dongxu happened to come out of the central courtyard.

He was holding a rice bowl in his hand, probably ready to visit.

Seeing Li Aiguo, Jia Dongxu snorted coldly, stopped, and stood blankly at the door of Yueyue.

The Crescent Gate is not wide to begin with, so two people have to rub shoulders to pass.

This guy stood in the middle, completely blocked.

Even Liang Ladi couldn't stand the look of deliberately trying to embarrass others, and wanted to go up and teach Jia Dongxu a lesson.

Li Aiguo didn't seem to see anything. He got on the bicycle and pedaled hard. The bicycle flew away like an arrow.

Jia Dongxu's expression suddenly changed as he looked at the approaching bicycle.

As if he was afraid that his parents might have grown two legs, he quickly turned around and got out of the way.

The bicycle rubbed against Jia Dongxu's arm and entered the middle courtyard. Li Aiguo left without looking back.

"What the hell" Jia Dongxu was about to curse.

Suddenly remembered something.

Looking at Li Aiguo's back, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

evening.

When the exhausted Yi Zhonghai trudged home, he saw Jia Dongxu sitting on a chair chatting with his aunt.

Yi Zhonghai said apologetically: "Dongxu, what happened today is not that the master didn't help you, but that Li Aiguo was so hateful. If I stood up, he would definitely kick me out too."

"Master, I don't blame you."

Jia Dongxu stood up and closed the door, saying excitedly: "I caught Li Aiguo's trap!"

Yi Zhonghai was worried about how to deal with Li Aiguo, but he became interested when he heard this.

But he didn't show it. Instead, he pretended to persuade: "Dongxu, Li Aiguo is now the deputy commander-in-chief of the project and a popular person in the maintenance section. You are no match for him. It's better to endure this tone first and talk to Qin Huairu well." Live life.”

Jia Dongxu became even more angry when he heard this: "Master, judging from what you said, I am no match for Li Aiguo? Don't worry, I have found Li Aiguo's weak point this time. As long as I poke it out, he will be ruined immediately."

"Really?" Yi Zhonghai smiled vaguely.

Jia Dongxu pursed his lips in the direction of the Li family: "You are not in the compound today, so you may not know.

Li Aiguo came back with a lot of gifts.

There was a whole box of wine and two large sacks, the mouths of which were not tied properly.

I saw sea cucumbers and bacon inside. They were all valuable things anyway. "

He looked at Yi Zhonghai and became even more excited: "Where did these things come from? It must have been obtained by Li Aiguo by taking advantage of the opportunity of being the deputy commander-in-chief."

"Yan Bugui from our courtyard just gave three small fish to Li Aiguo, and Yan Jiecheng joined the project."

Yi Zhonghai also knew about Yan Bugui's gift of fish.

It’s just that three kitten fish are worth only a few cents.

He is another neighbor in the compound. Even if he goes online, he can't blame Li Aiguo.

If we do that, who will dare to help our neighbors in the future?

The situation is the same now.

Yi Zhonghai was shocked and said, "Dongxu, did you read that correctly?"

"Master, don't underestimate me, I have sharp eyes!" Jia Dongxu said proudly: "Also, in the afternoon, my mother went to squat outside Li Aiguo's window for a long time. Guess what?"

"Why, you kid, tell me quickly." Yi Zhonghai pretended to be anxious and continued to be angry.

Jia Dongxu suffered a big loss from Li Aiguo a while ago.

If the heat is not enough, he may not dare to take the lead.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's attitude, Jia Dongxu became even more excited: "Chen Xueru is secretly soaking bacon and cutting leopard skins at home! There are also two bear paws on the Li family's kitchen chopping board."

Bacon, leopard skin, bear paws, these things are very expensive.

If he was really exposed, Yi Zhonghai, who would drink a pot of Li Aiguo, had a small calculation in his mind.

Li Aiguo is becoming more and more arrogant now.

If he is allowed to continue, it won't be long before he becomes the leader.

At that time, he, a seventh-level fitter, can still make a sound in the courtyard?

This time is a good opportunity.

Yi Zhonghai pretended to be a little disappointed and tried to dissuade him: "Dongxu, Li Aiguo is now in the locomotive depot. He is not the same as our street office. Even if you have evidence, what can you do?"

"Can the people in the locomotive depot be lawless? Can the people in the locomotive depot do whatever they want?"

Jia Dongxu stood up and said angrily: "I will go to the locomotive depot to report Li Aiguo tomorrow."

"Report with a real name? Dongxu, are you afraid that Li Aiguo will find out and punish you?" Yi Zhonghai pretended to be worried and patted Jia Dongxu on the shoulder: "How about we write an anonymous report letter?"

"Master, why are you scared out of your wits by Li Aiguo now!" Jia Dongxu stood up and raised his head and said, "You are afraid of him, but I am not!"

Done.

Under Yi Zhonghai's shocked eyes, Jia Dongxu left the room triumphantly.

He didn't see a sinister smile on Yi Zhonghai's lips.

The aunt who was standing nearby had been trying to talk to her, but Yi Zhonghai glared back at her, and she didn't dare to speak until now.

"Lao Yi, let's just live a good life, why do we have to have trouble with Li Aiguo?"

Yi Zhonghai picked up the enamel jar and took a sip of tea: "What do you mean I can't get along with him? It's because he doesn't let me live a good life. Li Aiguo was in the workshop today and kept watching me while I was working, which exhausted me to death."

"If the matter of the report is successful, Li Aiguo will not only lose his job, but also have to squat on the fence. Our two families will have a deadly feud. Besides, he just got married." After all, the aunt is soft-hearted.

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand impatiently: "What do you know, old woman? I can't control Li Aiguo before he becomes the leader.

If things continue like this, I might even give up my position as a senior official to him.

This is what I call planning for a rainy day. "

Seeing that the aunt still wanted to be nagging, Yi Zhonghai continued: "Besides, Dongxu is doing harm to the people. We elders should support him and not hold him back. Otherwise, I will be in the courtyard in the future. How can you convince the public!"

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai had made up his mind, the aunt had nothing to say, so she could only carry a bucket to water the cabbage she planted behind the house.

It's just that she always felt that something was inappropriate about it.

Every time Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu teamed up to deal with Li Aiguo, they failed to gain any benefit.

I just hope I don’t lose too badly this time.
