The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 331 Let me show you what unloading a truck means!
Early the next morning.

Simply ate breakfast.

Li Aiguo contacted the Linxi Mine Railway Transportation Department.

The Linxi Mine Railway Transportation Section adjusted the mine dispatching plan and sent a signal to the switching station to allow departure.

Seeing the green flag waving and receiving the signal from Liu Qingquan, the hooker unhooked the front and rear of the car.

Li Aiguo drove the front of the car several hundred meters forward, entered the large turntable, and performed a 180° turn.

Then after re-hooking the carriage, the whistle blew twice and the train was ready to start.

Suddenly a voice came from afar.

"Comrade, wait"

The old and frail voice seemed particularly clear in the noisy coal yard.

Li Aiguo's hand on the gate stopped.

Looking out the side window, I saw a gray-haired lady walking staggeringly from a distance.

She seemed to be afraid that the train would leave and wanted to rush over as soon as possible, but her little feet made it difficult to walk and she seemed to stagger when she walked.

Liu Qingquan also saw Auntie and was a little worried. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Auntie, please slow down."

The aunt ran to the locomotive panting, raised her head to look at Liu Qingquan, and asked softly: "Comrade, is this the train from Beijing? Is Driver Li the driver on the car, Comrade Li?"

"Looking for you." Liu Qingquan looked confused. He didn't remember that Li Aiguo knew the local aunt.

Li Aiguo looked at the aunt and was a little confused.

The old lady's hair has turned completely white and her face is full of wrinkles.

Wearing a soap blue homespun cloth, a long coat with a large front, and wide-legged trousers from Linxi, with black straps wrapped around the ankles, and "pig-arched" homespun shoes on his feet.

This is the classic dress worn by old ladies before the liberation of Linxi.

The only difference is that the old lady tidied up neatly, her clothes and pants were starched and white, and there was no trace of soot on them.

Li Aiguo was about to ask.

The aunt seemed to confirm his identity and handed over a bamboo basket.

He said: "Driver Li, thank you for saving my son."

After the words fell, she turned and left.

It seemed that he was afraid of being seen and getting Li Aiguo into trouble.

The old lady's son?

Li Aiguo opened the coarse cloth covering the basket and saw dozens of pickled duck eggs underneath, and seemed to understand something.

He raised his head and looked up, only to feel that the thin body looked extraordinarily tall against the backdrop of the rising sun.

Watch the old lady leave.

Li Aiguo gathered his mood, gently pushed the small gate, and the train started slowly, roaring towards Zhaojiagou Coal Washing Station.

*

*
Zhaojiagou Coal Washing Station is only five miles away from the loading point of Linxi Mine, and the train takes less than 10 minutes.

The station yard is stacked with mountains of coal.

Trucks, trolleys, and donkeys riding backwards all queued up to buy coal.

A fat man with a big belly and unbuttoned work clothes commanded the loader and was responsible for loading coal.

He waved his big hands, pointed at the people buying coal, and cursed.

Li Aiguo withdrew his gaze and slowly pulled the gate.

The train stopped slowly at the coal washing station.

The arrival of the train attracted the attention of many people. The uncle driving the cattle cart held on to the reins for fear that the animals would be frightened.

When the big fat man saw the train, he narrowed his eyes and staggered over with the record folder in hand.

He walked to the driver's building, looked at the train up and down, and asked sideways, "Are you from the locomotive depot at the front gate? I'm from the management office of the coal washing plant. You can call me Director Liu."

"Hello, Director Liu, this is our dispatch plan. We need to load 2000 tons of clean coal." Li Aiguo jumped off the train, handed over the plan, and handed over a cigarette as usual.

Fatty Liu took the plan and kept mumbling: "2000 tons, you really think that these coals were mined by Fatty Liu! The guys at the Linxi Dispatch Office are also messing around!"

Li Aiguo frowned slightly.

Before leaving, Director Zhang personally called here to ensure that there was enough clean coal in the coal washing plant.

Fatty Liu took the cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, then held the cigarette in front of him, looked at the icon on it, and laughed.

"Little comrade, these cigarettes are pretty good. Lin Xi can't even buy them in the Air Force."

"Really?" Li Aiguo also lit up a cigarette and started smoking.

"I heard that you train drivers always bring several cartons of cigarettes with them when they go out to drive." Fatty Liu looked greedy and gently rubbed his fingers on his trouser legs, making a universal gesture that would be remembered for generations to come.

Is this going to be extortion?

Li Aiguo chuckled and said, "Sorry, you made a mistake."

"Really?" Fatty Liu glanced at Li Aiguo threateningly, but saw no movement.
He suddenly laughed and slapped his belly loudly: "That's because I remembered it wrong."

Fatty Liu flipped through the dispatch plan and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Just wait here, I will arrange for someone to load the car for you right away."

Liu Qingquan, who had been following behind, saw Fatty Liu staggering over to arrange for loading the car. He scratched his head and said, "I thought we were going to suffer a lot of bleeding this time, but I didn't expect that this guy actually gave in."

"People from far away places, please don't be careless."

At this time, the driver who had been watching from the side opened the door and jumped out of the gas truck.

"Fat Liu is notoriously difficult to deal with in the coal washing plant. If anyone is not respectful, he will definitely cause harm in secret."

Li Aiguo handed over a cigarette: "I am from the Qianmen Locomotive Depot, who are you, comrade?"

"I'm from Tangshan Thermos Bottle Factory. I come here to pull coal for the boiler."

The gray-haired truck driver took the cigarette, turned around and saw his little apprentice sitting motionless in the truck, and yelled: "Second pillar, quickly lift the cover and fill the water tank. If you open the pot again on the road, I will kill you, kid." Throw it down."

The young apprentice responded, jumped off the truck, picked up the enamel basin hanging on the side of the truck, and ran to the coal washing pool next to it.

"This kid doesn't even blink. If he wasn't a relative's child, I really wouldn't want to take him."

The truck driver seemed to be explaining, but Li Aiguo could understand.

If you want to learn to drive these days, you have to be an apprentice with a master and do some chores.

Li Aiguo turned around and continued to ask: "What does filial piety mean?"

"You are really from a distant land."

The truck driver kept staring at the young apprentice working and said in a low voice:
"Fat Liu is the dispatcher of the coal washing plant and can command the loader.

The position is not big, but the power is not small.

Whether to pack good coal or poor coal, to pack too much or to pack too little, is all a matter of one word from Fatty Liu.

No one dared to offend him.

Everyone who comes to load coal knows his rules.

A truckload of coal requires half a pack of cigarettes, and a truckload contains two packs.

A train as big as you needs at least one cigarette. "

It was already autumn, there was no shade at the loading yard, the ground was steaming with heat, and the people queuing up to load coal were restless.

"Oh, we have formed a rule."

After listening to the truck driver, Li Aiguo's face became serious.

The truck driver looked at Li Aiguo worriedly, took two puffs of cigarette, and said, "You guys who drive trains are just like us who drive trucks, they are all drivers.

Drivers all over the world are one family.

I want to remind you that you should hand over the cigarettes as soon as possible, otherwise..."

"puff"

Not finished.

The young apprentice ran too fast with the basin, tripping on a stone and falling to the ground, throwing the enamel basin more than half a meter away.

"Damn, you kid is so messy, how can you be a driver in the future!" The truck driver stopped talking and rushed over without looking at the enamel basin. Instead, he grabbed the little apprentice.

He raised his big slap and wanted to throw it away from the young apprentice, but in the end the slap was reluctant to fall.

He patted the dust on the child's torn cotton-padded jacket, glared and said fiercely: "Stand here and watch how the master works."

The truck driver picked up the enamel basin, ran to the coal washing pool to get a basin of water, then lifted the lid of the engine room and got busy.

Liu Qingquan looked at the truck driver and said with some worry: "Driver Li, how about we pool money to buy a cigarette and give it to Fatty Liu."

Lao Zheng also nodded in agreement: "People have to bow their heads when they are under the eaves."

Li Aiguo chuckled, turned to look at the loader loading coal, and said nothing.

He wanted to see how capable Fatty Liu was.

Linxi Mine was bought with the blood of big guys, how can we let these people mess around!

Two thousand tons of clean coal would take a full two hours to load, even with an earthen loader.

At around [-] a.m., as the loader retreated, the train finally completed loading.

Li Aiguo took Liu Qingquan and the others to the side of the train. Fatty Liu, with his nostrils turned upward and mung bean eyes squinting, handed the dispatch book to Li Aiguo.

"Here, your two thousand tons of coal have been loaded. Just sign and you can leave."

"is it?"

Li Aiguo took the dispatch book and walked around the train car without signing it.

"Hey, what are you doing? You can't park here for a long time. Leave quickly!" Fatty Liu was obviously panicked.

Li Aiguo ignored him.

Suddenly he pulled up the railing, climbed onto the carriage from the rear, and shouted to Lao Zheng: "Master Zheng, hand me your shovel for shoveling coal."

"Good Le!"

Taking the shovel, the shovel followed the coal and penetrated deep into the clean coal, and it made a crisp sound.

After shoveling hard and pulling a few times, seven or eight round gray-brown gangues were exposed underneath.

Li Aiguo's face suddenly darkened.

At this time, Lao Zheng also climbed onto the carriage. Seeing so many gangues, his expression changed drastically: "We want clean coal, why are there so many impurities!"

After the coal is excavated from the coal cave, it becomes raw coal after manual sorting and debris removal.

After the raw coal is washed, the gangue in the coal is removed, and it becomes high-quality coal suitable for special purposes, which is clean coal.

To drive a train, clean coal with high heat and high energy density is necessary.

If this batch of coal is sent back to the locomotive depot, it will not pass the inspection of the Materials Department, and the charter team will definitely be criticized.

Fatty Liu who got off the train was not worried when he saw that the stuffing had leaked. He crossed his arms and said, "Maybe the loading master slept with his wife last night. He was a little confused today and shoveled a small amount of low-quality coal."

"A small part?" Lao Zheng ran toward the shovel to the car in front. He inserted the shovel hard and shoveled it a few times. There was a large amount of gangue underneath.

I ran another car and shoveled it a few times, but the situation was the same.

In just ten minutes, Lao Zheng turned over the wagons one by one. Except that the upper part was made of clean coal, the lower part was all gangue.

What a thief, in order to cover up the gangue below, he deliberately asked the loader to cover it with a layer of clean coal.

Lao Zheng was afraid for a while. If Li Aiguo wasn't more careful, they would be fooled now.

Li Aiguo stood on the carriage and looked down at Fatty Liu: "The 24 carriages are all filled with low-quality coal. How do you explain it?"

"Explanation? Hahaha." Fatty Liu laughed so hard that he covered his chest and said, "Do I need to explain to you?"

He straightened up, his face became ferocious, and he said viciously:

"The carriage has been loaded. Unless you unload all two thousand tons of coal yourself, drive away as soon as possible!"

Fatty Liu stood next to the loader, looking at the fully loaded train, smiling proudly.

When the truck driver saw this situation, he let out a long sigh and muttered in a low voice: "These people from far away just don't know how bad the coal washing plant is."

He has an enthusiastic temperament. When Li Aiguo met him just now, he offered cigarettes and greeted him, so he was obviously a good person.

Don't let good people suffer a big loss.

The truck driver threw down the enamel basin and trotted over. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Fatty Liu: "Director Liu, these people from far away don't know the rules. You are a great man and don't remember the villain's faults. Please spare them a moment." Suffer."

Fatty Liu took the cigarette and recognized the truck driver. He snorted coldly: "Driver Meng, it's not that I won't let them go, it's that they broke my rules."

"Yes, yes, it's their fault."

Fatty Liu pointed at the loading truck and said, "Do you think it's easy to command a loader? Since I became a dispatcher, I've lost seven or eight pounds. What's wrong with asking them for a few packs of cigarettes?"

"Yes, yes, Director Liu, thank you for your hard work." The truck driver nodded repeatedly: "How about I ask them to deliver a cigarette, and you call the loaders to help unload the coal from the train." "Meng Drivers, if everyone is as sensible as you, wouldn't the world be at peace?" Fatty Liu puffed out smoke from his nostrils: "It's a pity that it's too late."

"If I don't let them know how powerful I am today."

"Who will abide by my rules in the future?"

Fatty Liu smiled evilly and said: "Unless they unload all the coal from the train today, they will pull back all the gangue from these dozens of trains, hahaha."

Fatty Liu's wild laughter suddenly stopped.

The whole person stood there blankly, his mouth couldn't close, and his eyes were as wide as bells.

It was a little hard for him to understand what he was seeing.

I saw that the handsome man who was better than the train driver actually entered the train driver's building with his comrades from the private crew.

The train started and black smoke billowed out from the roof.

"Haha, these guys have given up!"

Fatty Liu came to his senses, patted his belly excitedly, pointed at the train and said to the people around him who were preparing to load coal: "You see, this is the consequence of not obeying the rules."

"At the Zhaojiagou Coal Washing Plant, if anyone dares to disobey the rules, they will have to take the stone back."

"Don't say it's from the Beijing Locomotive Depot, even if the King of Heaven comes, I, Liu Chusheng, said so!"

When the crowd heard this, they lowered their heads and put their hands into their pockets to feel the gifts they had brought to see if they were enough.

At this moment, the train suddenly blew its whistle twice.

"Hmph, I'm leaving soon, but I still have to fart." Fatty Liu raised the corners of his mouth as he prepared to continue educating the masses on the spot.

Sudden.

Crash.

The coal on the train carriage actually slipped off.

Fatty Liu was startled, rubbed his eyes, and couldn't help but take a breath.

It wasn't the coal that slid down, it was the wagon that rose and tilted.

As the angle of inclination gradually increased, the pins on the side panels collapsed under the heavy pressure.

Crash. A whole carload of coal fell next to the railway track.

Is this thing going to deform?

Fatty Liu felt that his brain was running out, and his breathing became rapid. He stood there not knowing what to do.

The truck driver opened his eyes wide and slapped his forehead: "Hey guys, the train has turned into a dump truck."

In this moment of effort, the four train cars No. 20 in the second and third quarters completed their rollovers one after another.

Inside the driver's building.

Li Aiguo slowly pushed the black and thick iron rod to lower the train's carriage back to its original position.

He stuck his head out of the side window and shouted to Liu Mingshan who was standing below: "Researcher Liu, the train carriage just completed a fully loaded rollover. Did you record all the data?"

"Ah" Technician Liu looked at the notebook without any data in his hand and was immediately confused.

Just now, he and several researchers were studying the state of the machine spring of the rollover dump truck under full load.

Li Aiguo suddenly told him that he would perform a cartwheel dump for him.

Technician Liu thought he was joking.

Just kidding, if there are so many carriages, if they are all unloaded, who will load them?

Who would have thought that as soon as they backed away, the little driver actually started a rollover.

"You are really unqualified!" After being despised, Liu Mingshan squatted on the ground in annoyance, not daring to say a word.

Li Aiguo smiled and patted Liu Qingquan on the shoulder: "Go and ask the fat man to help us load the car."

"Great!" Liu Qingquan didn't expect Li Aiguo to be so brave.

But now that the coal has been unloaded, it naturally needs to be loaded again.

He jumped off the locomotive and came to Fatty Liu: "Driver Li said that we have unloaded all the coal as per your request. Now you can load the coal into the car."

The scene in front of him had surpassed Fatty Liu's understanding.

Why can the train turn over?

However, his main character is a scoundrel!
"You can load the train after unloading the coal? Do you think you are the leader of the coal train?" Fatty Liu sneered, pointed at the train and said, "We only loaded it once, and now you have to drive the empty train back."

Liu Qingquan didn't expect Fatty Liu to be so unreasonable.

I didn't know what to do for a moment, so I could only turn my head and look at Li Aiguo.

This man is really a scoundrel!
Li Aiguo took out his pistol from under his seat, put it in his arms, and was about to jump off the train.

Two jeeps roared in from outside the coal washing plant and stopped in front of Li Aiguo with a clatter.

Amid the smoke and dust, Deputy Section Chief Wu and the Chief of the Mechanical and Electrical Section jumped out of the jeep.

Seeing that the train had not yet departed, Deputy Section Chief Wu breathed a sigh of relief and strode up to Li Aiguo.

"Driver Li, I planned to treat you to dinner at noon, but why did you leave without saying hello?"

Seeing that it was Deputy Section Chief Wu, Li Aiguo loosened his hand on his waist and said with a smile: "Old Wu, we have a mission. Let's have a good meal when we pass by Lin Xi next time."

"I came here today to accept the entrustment of the mine director. Thank you for helping us catch Xu Zongtang."

Deputy Section Chief Wu didn't have the kind of nagging temperament. He covered Li Aiguo's hand and said directly: "

You may also know that Xu Zongtang used to be the largest contractor in Linxi Mine.

After liberation, he disappeared without a trace.

This time he was escorted back to the mine, and a meeting was held, which inspired countless miners.

The Ministry of Fuel Industry and Luanping both sent letters of commendation to Lin Xi.

Brother, it’s all thanks to you this time. "

The labor contractors are the direct perpetrators of persecution against the workers.

The significance of this arrest can be imagined. It not only dilutes the negative impact of many technological destruction of machines.

As the main organizer, Deputy Section Chief Wu is expected to be promoted soon.

In fact, the old section chief of the Linxi Mine Security Section had long entrusted his daily affairs to deputy section chief Wu due to physical reasons.

It’s just that Deputy Section Chief Wu is not yet 30 years old.

Although he is a comrade on the special front, he has little experience in the security department and his achievements are not enough, so he has not been corrected for a long time.

Therefore, this case is particularly important to Deputy Chief Wu.

Li Aiguo also admired Deputy Section Chief Wu's jealous temper, and the two were having a lively chat.

"What's going on with the gangue on the ground?" The head of the electromechanical department, who had been unable to speak, walked around the locomotive and exclaimed when he saw the stone belt that was thousands of meters long.

At this time, Liu Qingquan, who had been scolded by Fatty Liu, had returned to the front of the car.

He said angrily: "Hey, leader of Linxi Mine, this is not gangue, but clean coal from your Linxi Mine."

As soon as this word comes out.

The expressions of Deputy Section Chief Wu and the Chief of the Mechanical and Electrical Section changed.

Having worked in the Linxi Mine for many years, they had also heard that the coal washing plant below had loose discipline and sometimes liked to pass off inferior quality.

However, it has never happened before that a load of rocks was ejected into clean coal.

In particular, the train driver just saved the mine leader of Linxi Mine.
What’s on the ground is not gangue, but his Lao Wu’s face!

"Don't worry, Driver Li, I will definitely give you an explanation."

Deputy Section Chief Wu turned around and sprinted towards Fatty Liu.

In fact, Fatty Liu had already noticed the Gas Jeep when it arrived.

When he saw Deputy Section Chief Wu getting off the jeep talking happily with the young driver, Fatty Liu regretted it.

Deputy Section Chief Wu is famous for being ruthless in the mine.

He was about to step forward to explain when he saw Deputy Section Chief Wu walking over with a smile on his face.

"Chief Wu, Brother Wu, why don't you say hello in advance when you come, so that I can prepare tea."

"Hey!"

Deputy Section Chief Wu rushed over and suddenly flew a kick in the air, landing on Fatty Liu.

Fatty Liu was kicked to the ground.

Just like a fat gourd, it rolled seven or eight meters and stopped when it hit the wheel of the loader.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Wu Ke, this is all a misunderstanding."

Fatty Liu stood up, held up his hands and begged: "If I knew that the train driver was your friend, even if I had a hundred courages, I wouldn't dare to do this."

Li Aiguo also came over at this moment. Hearing this, he said coldly: "Are we ordinary people, and you can embarrass them wantonly?"

"Ah" Fatty Liu had cold sweat on his forehead, his head drooped and he didn't dare to say anything.

Li Aiguo continued: "A dispatcher dared to call himself Director Liu."

The scene just now made the onlookers cheer in unison, and the truck driver booed in the crowd: "Train driver, Fatty Liu's name is Liu Shengsheng. He was afraid that people would call him a beast, so he called himself Director Liu."

"Heh, I think the name Liu Zhusheng suits you better."

Li Aiguo said with a serious face: "The Linxi Mine was bought with the blood of countless predecessors. It should have served the people and contributed to the construction of the country.

You people, however, are taking advantage of the full power entrusted to you by your superiors to obtain cards privately here.

What is the difference from the gang before liberation? "

These words are already on the line.

Fatty Liu also knew how powerful it was. His legs softened and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Comrade driver, you have a lot of money, please bypass me this time."

"I am a fart in front of you, please let me go."

"I am an insect, a puppy, and a bastard."

"Snapped!"

As Fatty Liu spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself.

He was so strong that blood stains instantly appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Li Aiguo didn't move.

He gritted his teeth again and slapped him.

Li Aiguo seemed not to see it.

He took out his cigarette and spread it around the truck driver and the onlookers.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

The crisp slap echoed in the air, and Fatty Liu's cheeks quickly became swollen.

Some of the men driving the carriages in the crowd had expressions of unbearable expression on their faces.

Liu Qingquan, who was angry just now, felt a little sympathetic now, and tugged on Li Aiguo's clothes.

"If you are patriotic, forget about it. We will hand him over to the factory later and he will be criticized."

The reason why bad people are able to run rampant depends on the compassion of good people.

Li Aiguo is not the Holy Mother.

"Old Liu, what do you think would have happened if we hadn't helped the coal mine capture Dieter and Section Chief Wu and the others hadn't arrived?"

Liu Qingquan closed his mouth and remained silent.

According to Fatty Liu's approach, they had to bring a cart of stones back today.

Moreover, no one has interceded on their behalf.

　Reborn into a fiery era full of passion, Chen Guohua was panicked.

　　The adoptive father passed away in a mining accident, and there are three younger sisters at home. The second uncle's family wants to fight for the inheritance, and the neighbors are laughing.

　　He wants to live his life well and work hard to gain a reputation.

　　The first thing I wanted to do was take the college entrance examination and become a college student.
