The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 345: Cui Rendong was killed, and the maintenance section exchanged things for things.

The autumn wind is blowing and the weather is cool.

Today was originally a good day for Cui Rendong.

As long as the conference is over.

He can be elected as president naturally.

But now something like Cui Dake happened. Cui Rendong raised his eyes and looked at the group of wolf-like locomotive depot workers, and he instantly made a decision in his heart.

He strode forward and said hypocritically: "Cui Dake, I treat you like my nephew. You dare to embezzle Cui Dashan's salary. You are simply embarrassing our Cui family."

He turned to look at Li Aiguo: "Leader, don't worry, the maintenance section will deal with this guy how he wants to be dealt with. I will never protect him."

That look, that tone, that attitude, they are so well-controlled.

He is simply an upright village cadre.

Li Aiguo knew it.

After this person became the leader of Nanshi Commune.

Ignoring conscience and disregarding reality caused a huge disaster to the members of Nanshi Commune in the difficult years.

Although the wheel of history is unstoppable.

But a commune leader who cares about the members is enough to ensure that the members survive the hard times.

Li Aiguo will not block the car with his hands.

But we still have to do some small things that can be done for the members.

Otherwise, you will become a time traveler.

Li Aiguo said lightly: "Thank you for your understanding."

Just when Cui Rendong breathed a sigh of relief, Li Aiguo continued: "This time our locomotive depot will adopt Miaomiao, so Miaomiao's family property will be taken back to the locomotive depot, and will be distributed to Miaomiao after she reaches adulthood."

"Cui Dake, please hand over all Cui Dashan's property."

Hearing this, Cui Dake was shocked. Before he could react, Cui Rendong's expression changed.

"Cui Dashan and his wife fell ill and spent all their money. What kind of family property do they have left?"

"is it?"

Li Aiguo took Miaomiao from Zhao Yazhi's arms and asked with a smile: "Miaomiao, tell uncle, what do you have at home?"

Hard work has tempered people's hearts. Miaomiao, who was only five years old, was already sensible. She pouted and said, "Uncle, my family has a sewing machine. The sewing machine was rewarded by the leaders after my father's meritorious service. There is also a flashlight, twenty pounds of white flour, three Ten kilograms of stick noodles and a courtyard. These were left to me when my mother passed away."

Cui Rendong broke into a cold sweat after hearing this.

For no other reason than because the sewing machine from Cui Dashan's house was currently in his house.

He winked at his nephews repeatedly and ordered them to stop the people from the locomotive depot even if they were dead or alive.

The young people shrank several times.

At the critical moment, he stood up slowly, holding the hoe and shovel tightly.

Zhang Hongliang suddenly became nervous and called Xiao Hu and the others to prepare for action.

The comrades at the police station had their hands on the handles of their guns.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and even the air became thicker.

The Cui family members from the side branches hid far away. Only Cui Dahu stood still and looked hesitant.

Li Aiguo suddenly looked at Cui Dahu: "Comrade Cui Dahu, please take us to Cui Dashan's house."

When Cui Dahu heard this, how could he not understand that this was an opportunity provided to him by Li Aiguo.

"I have also heard about the Dashan brothers, but my family and the Cui Dashan family are two different Cui families.

I was afraid of causing misunderstanding to others, so I failed to help in time.

I didn't expect Cui Dake to be able to do such a cruel thing, worse than a pig or a dog! "

Cui Dahu stood up and said angrily: "Let's go, I will take you to get your things now. If anyone dares to stop you, don't blame me for not having eyes on my sickle."

As he spoke, he took out the sickle from his waist and waved it twice in the air.

More than a dozen members of the first mutual aid team squeezed in from outside and stood behind Cui Dahu.

Their clothes were in tatters and their faces were thin, but the hoes and sickles in their hands gave off a little cold light under the sunlight.

Those cold rays of light shone in the eyes of the Cui family, and their hearts suddenly froze.

The young man who had already stood up and was about to step forward to stop him took back his steps at this time.

The situation at the scene had undergone earth-shaking changes, and Zhang Hongliang was relieved.

I couldn't help but give Li Aiguo a thumbs up.

By dividing the Cui family and avoiding a fight, this train driver is really powerful.

"Then there's Brother Lao." Li Aiguo didn't take these soft-legged shrimps of the Cui family seriously. Under the iron fist of the locomotive maintenance section, they had no power to fight back.

I just saw that Cui Dahu was a pretty good guy, so I gave him a hand.

Cui Dahu also knew this, and led the members of the first mutual aid team and Li Aiguo to Cui Dashan's yard.

Miao Miao, who had been silent all this time, struggled to get out of Zhao Yazhi's arms and ran into the house.

"Where are my things?"

She wiped her tears and said, "Uncle, that's all. That cloth tiger is the only thought my mother left for me. Can you help me get it back?"

The house looked like it was being followed by bandits at this time.

Almost all the tables, chairs, benches, and noodle bowls were gone, and even the big iron pot on the stove was taken away.
When I walked into the back room, I saw that the mat on the fire pit had disappeared without a trace.

Li Aiguo had to admire Cui Dake, what a talent he was.

"Let's go to Cui Dake's house. Bring everything back!"

In these days, brothers like to live next to each other.

The Cui brothers are no exception.

Next door to the small courtyard is Cui Dake's house.

Cui Dahu rushed in with the members of the mutual aid team, and came out a moment later carrying large and small bags of things.

Dozens of kilograms of white flour, two new flower quilts, five kilograms of sausages, a table, and chairs.
The onlookers were stunned.

"My mother-in-law, Cui Dake is as rich as the old landlords in the past."

"How can this guy save so much stuff if he doesn't join the mutual aid group and just wanders around the village all day long?"

"Not all of them are robbing Cui Dashan."

When Cui Dake saw those things being moved out, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Those are all the things I saved so hard."

"Snapped!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Dahu slapped him on the face.

"Cui Dake, you still have the face."

"No. Those stools are really mine!" Cui Dake felt aggrieved.

Li Aiguo took inventory of his things, entered the room, and walked around.

His eyes swept through the corners of the room, and he soon noticed something unusual.

He reached out and pulled out the brick, and inside it turned out to be a urinal.

Hiss. This guy is really careless!

Li Aiguo covered his nose and carried the urinal to Zhou Ke: "Open it."

"Why?" Zhou Ke was angry.

"Want to learn to drive?"

Zhou Ke: "."

With a look of disgust on his face, he pulled out the cloth stopper and fished out a paper bag.

Inside the paper bag was a stack of banknotes.

A thick roll costs more than 300 yuan.

"This should be Cui Dashan's salary."

Li Aiguo handed the money to Zhao Yazhi to count, and found that the total was 350 yuan.

When Cui Dake saw the money being dug out, his last hope was suddenly shattered.

The whole person collapsed to the ground like a toad that had been punctured.

He prepared the money to give gifts to the leaders when he arrived in the city.

Years of hard work were all over now.

After their wages were found, Cui Dake's family members completely lost their momentum.

This was not over yet. Li Aiguo paused for a moment, stared into Cui Dake's eyes and asked, "Cui Dake, where is the sewing machine? When Cui Dashan left the capital, he brought a sewing machine back to Cuijiazhuang."

"Leader, if I tell the truth, can you...can you reduce my punishment?"

Cui Dake, who was completely ruined, had lost all thoughts of resistance at this time and only hoped to save a small life.

"Are you trying to bargain with me?" Li Aiguo stared into Cui Dake's eyes and said coldly.

Do not know why.

The originally plain words penetrated into the ears.

But Cui Dake felt like a venomous snake had gotten in and crazily eaten away at his belly and six internal organs.

While he was feeling frightened, another whisper sounded in his ear: "According to policy, if you have an accomplice, if you tell him about it, you can reduce some of your guilt."

As soon as these words came out, Cui Dake was shocked.

Yes, most of the things he got from Cui Dashan's house were given to Cui Rendong.

Why should he bear this responsibility himself?

Cui Dake is a villain and has always been known for his lack of loyalty.

He immediately stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Boss, I want to report that Cui Rendong was the instigator behind the scenes. He tricked me into occupying Cui Dashan's family property. The sewing machine is also in Cui Rendong's house. I also share Cui Dashan's salary." Most of it was given to Cui Rendong."

hiss.
Hiss
sizzle.
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers gasped, and the temperature in Cuijiazhuang rose a lot.

Cui Rendong was the village chief of Cuijiazhuang before liberation.

Because he has always been kind-hearted, Cuijiazhuang has always been peaceful even though the farmers' cooperative in the neighboring village broke out.

After liberation, the outside world changed, but everything in Cuijiazhuang remained the same. Cui Rendong continued to serve as the village chief.

Who would have thought that such an old village chief would do such an unscrupulous thing.

Cui Rendong had just sent the sewing machine over at this time, and he had already thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

Unexpectedly, Li Aiguo defeated Cui Dake's psychological defense in just a short while.

"Cui Dake, what nonsense are you talking about? I am the old patriarch of the Cui family!" Cui Rendong was so angry that he instantly transformed into a feudal patriarch and rushed in with an iron rake.

"Today I will fulfill the ancestral rules and beat you to death for talking nonsense!"

Cui Rendong held up the iron rake and returned to the pre-liberation period in a trance.

At that time, as the head of the Cui family, he was so majestic.

As long as he stomps his feet lightly, Cuijiazhuang will tremble three times.

*
*
*
The iron rake was swung down hard, but it froze in mid-air.

The black barrel of the gun hit his forehead, and a chill spread throughout his body.

Looking down the barrel of the gun, Cui Rendong saw a mighty face.

Li Aiguo gently pressed his finger on the trigger and sneered: "Patriarch? I think you are a remnant of feudalism!"

"You dare to shoot?" Cui Rendong faced the muzzle of the gun, his temples kept beating, and he straightened his chest: "I am Cui Rendong."

"Maliciously attacking locomotive depot workers, trying to disrupt railway transportation and undermine the overall economic construction of the country." Li Aiguo said slowly: "Do you dare to take a gamble?"

pat.

The safety is on and your finger pulls the trigger.

The sound of the spring in the gun stretching and rubbing was particularly harsh in this silent autumn day.

Pfft!
"Spare your life, leader, spare your life." Cui Rendong knelt on the ground and said with tears in his eyes: "Don't listen to Cui Dake's nonsense. He is a scoundrel and a thief. In the past few years, The cattle of the first mutual aid group were taken to the back mountain by Cui Dake and secretly slaughtered."

Cui Rendong's mental defense collapsed and the dog-eat-dog mode started.

"Cui Dake, you stole the cow!" Cui Dahu was furious when he heard this. He rushed up and grabbed Cui Dake's neck with both hands, and picked him up like a chicken.

The cattle are the strongest fighting force of the mutual aid group.

Because they lost their cattle, in order not to delay farming, the members of their first mutual aid group took turns carrying the reins and pulling the plow.

His shoulders were soaked with blood and his legs were shaken. It took ten days to plow all the fields of the mutual aid group. Cui Dahu, a strong laborer, fell seriously ill after plowing the fields.

Later, in order to save money to buy a calf, more than 50 families formed a mutual aid group and did not see any meat for half a year.

All this is because of Zhou Dake!

His heart was filled with anger and he clenched his hands tightly.

Cui Dake couldn't even utter a cry for mercy, his voice was wheezing, and finally his eyes began to turn white.

Seeing that a life was about to be caused, Zhou Ke quickly stepped forward and stopped Cui Dahu: "Dahu, don't worry, the cattle thieves will not have a good life if they enter the fence of the locomotive depot."

Cui Dahu then stopped and threw Cui Dake to the ground, standing aside and panting.

Zhang Hongliang looked stunned.

In just a short time, the train driver solved an old cattle-stealing case and captured a feudal remnant. It was indeed not easy.

Subsequently.

Cui Dahu and his comrades from the mutual aid group rushed into Cui Rendong's home, moved out the sewing machine and several pieces of furniture, and also found Cui Dashan's salary.

Cui Rendong's family owns the only two vermillion-lacquered gates in the entire Cuijiazhuang.

The red paint on the gate has been mottled, but it still weighs on the hearts of the villagers like a big mountain.

At this time, the gate fell to the ground with a crash, and everyone in Cuijiazhuang knew that from today on, things would change in Cuijiazhuang.

Because the evidence was conclusive, Cui Rendong and Cui Dake were escorted to the jeep and prepared to be sent back to the locomotive depot police station.

Li Aiguo looked at the tattered furniture of the Cui family and felt a little confused.

Broken stools, broken tables, a rolling pin with chipped teeth, and a black iron pot with a handle missing.

Even if these things were sent to a trust store, they wouldn't fetch much money, so they might as well be disposed of locally.

After discussing with Xiao Miaomiao, Li Aiguo took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Cui Dahu: "Comrade Dahu, how about selling these furniture to you?"

As long as Li Aiguo helps him, it will be no problem even if he takes it over at the original price.

just
"That's not a problem, but our mutual aid group doesn't have money or food stamps." Cui Dahu said, scratching his head.

Li Aiguo looked at the free-range chickens running in the village and laughed: "Can a living person choke to death? If you don't have money, you can use chickens in exchange."

When we arrived in the capital, we helped Miaomiao convert the chickens into money and deposit them in the bank. "

"Hey, this is a good idea." Cui Dahu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Even if he has doubts about the senior club, Cui Dahu also knows that changing the mutual aid group into a senior club is the general trend.

Those poultry in the mutual aid group will have to be disposed of by then.

It's better to replace it with furniture, pots, pans and the like in advance.

Cui Dahu is a hot-tempered person.

At that time, the members of the first mutual aid group were summoned and Li Aiguo's ideas were explained to them.

Exchanging things for things is definitely not a violation.

These days, everyone's family is poor, and some people don't even have a bench.

The members of the mutual aid team, who were quick-witted and quick-footed, ran home after hearing the news.

Soon, the originally peaceful Cuijiazhuang was in a state of turmoil.

Outside Cui Dashan's small courtyard, Li Aiguo and Zhou Ke lined up the furniture.

Cui Daluzi walked up to him carrying a big rooster: "Leader."

"Don't call me leader, we workers and farmers are one family, call me comrade." Li Aiguo handed out a cigarette.

Cui Damazi took the cigarette, carefully put it on his ear, and grinned: "Comrade, what can I exchange for this big cock?"

At this time, professional buyers are needed.

Liu Dongping caught Li Aiguo's gaze, stepped forward, and picked up the big rooster.

"It's exactly three pounds and eight taels. According to the price in the Beijing vegetable market, each pound of chicken is [-] cents. The purchase price is [-]% lower. In addition, we deliver it to your door, so it is another [-]% lower."

cough cough.

Li Aiguo coughed twice.

Liu Dongping changed from a shrewd canteen buyer to a simple and honest railway soldier in an instant.

"Fellow, considering how worn out the furniture is, could you please replace this big cock with a chair?"

Being able to change to a chair was beyond Cui Daluzi's expectations.

This guy was afraid that someone would snatch him, so he handed the big cock to Liu Dongping's hand, hugged the chair and ran away.

Seeing that they could actually get something, the team members rushed forward holding various small animals.

"I have a duck."

"Two big white geese."

"Don't squeeze, the egg will burst."

The scene was chaotic, and Li Aiguo shouted loudly: "Everyone line up and come one by one."

Cui Dahu also felt that the team members had lost face, so he rushed over and kicked the guy who squeezed the most fiercely: "Er Gou, what do you mean by carrying a bunch of dead rats?"

"Team leader, all the food in my house has been eaten by rats. These things can be considered poultry." Ergou took it as a matter of course.

Li Aiguo waved his hand quickly: "Hey, hey, we don't accept mice. Also, the guy with the worms, stay away from me. If you scare the children, I will settle the score with you."

After eliminating a few random people, the remaining team members became quiet.

With Liu Dongping, a professional buyer, he can give a relatively fair price to everything.

In a short time, the Cui family's furniture was finished.

In total, we got eight big roosters, ten hens, thirty pounds of eggs, two ducks, and some miscellaneous things.

Anyway, no mice or worms.

This time the locomotive depot came to Nanshi Town and only drove a jeep.

Li Aiguo asked Zhou Ke to put the tightly tied Cui Rendong and Cui Dake, as well as the small animals, in the trunk and prepare to return to the locomotive depot first.

Looking at the full trunk, Li Aiguo suddenly turned around and shouted to Cui Ergou: "Fellow, do you still sell these two snakes?"

"Sell, sell, sell. I'll be satisfied as long as I exchange two spoons." Cui Ergou knew that he, a wild animal, could not compare with domesticated ones, and his requirements were relatively low.

There happened to be two spoons left. Li Aiguo handed the spoons over, holding the two lively snakes, and handed them to Zhou Ke.

"This is what we got in exchange for it, where should we put it?"

The corner of Zhou Ke's mouth raised slightly: "Of course it's the trunk of the jeep."

At this time, Cui Rendong and Cui Dake, who were trampled under their feet by the big rooster and had chicken dung on their heads, were frightened.

That thing likes to drill holes.
The two of them shuddered and couldn't help but squeeze their legs.

It was getting late by now.

Zhao Yazhi took Miao Miao to the fields to visit Miao Miao's parents.

The girl almost fainted from crying and wanted to follow the jeep back.

Li Aiguo told Zhou Ke to drive carefully, and suddenly thought of something, asked Cui Dahu to borrow a pen and paper, and wrote a note to Zhou Ke.

"When you get back, hand it over to Chief Duan. You can come here again tomorrow."

"Understood!" Zhou Kegang was about to drive, but he opened the door and got out. He circled around the jeep before igniting it and stepping on the accelerator.

Cui Dahu scratched his head: "Did this little driver lose something?"

Li Aiguo: "."

The jeep disappeared at the end of the road.

The onlookers also returned to the village committee to elect the president of the senior club.

"Driver Li, are you interested in going to the election site to have a look?" Cui Dahu hesitated for a long time and said a little embarrassedly.

Li Aiguo chuckled and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go back today anyway, so I'm sorry."

At this time, Zhang Hongliang had already reported the situation to the 'honest man' Mayor Liu.

Mayor Liu's brows knitted into knots, with a look of regret on his face: "Oh, how many times have I educated Cui Rendong and told him not to commit the same old habits before liberation, but it seems he still hasn't listened."

He stood up, stretched out his hand to Li Aiguo, and said apologetically: "Comrades from the locomotive depot, this time our Nanshi Town failed to do its job properly, which caused you trouble."

"Mayor Liu, you didn't cause us trouble, but you hurt Cui Dashan's family." Li Aiguo said unceremoniously while smoking a cigarette.

Zhang Hongliang was a little surprised when Li Aiguo suddenly opened fire on Mayor Liu. This train driver was not the kind of impulsive person.

But as soon as he thought about it, he understood.

He was from the locomotive maintenance department, so there was no need to save face for Mayor Liu.

Besides, Mayor Liu has long known about Cui Rendong’s bad things.

If he hadn't taken care of Cuijiazhuang's "unity", this tragedy would not have happened.

Mayor Liu's face suddenly turned white and blue, and he sighed: "I am also taking the overall situation into consideration."

"There is nothing wrong with taking into account the overall situation, but we must distinguish whose overall situation is." Li Aiguo said loudly: "Now that we are liberated, the happiness of the people is our real overall situation."

"Some people who are not worthy of unity must be swept into the trash!"

These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Mayor Liu's heart.

Mayor Liu has always been proud of his ability to "unify" people. Unexpectedly, this kind of thinking actually led him to go down a wrong path.

Mayor Liu was silent for a moment and repeated: "People's happiness is the overall situation."

At this time, there was a round of applause.

Just applause, no cheers.

Perhaps people in this era are no longer surprised that leaders can admit mistakes to everyone in public.

Li Aiguo found it quite shocking.

I also breathed a sigh of relief.

These days, many of the grassroots leaders in villages and towns, especially those in organizations, are dedicated to serving the people.

Take Mayor Liu as an example.

A frail scholar was able to take the lead in leading the villagers to rush up the river embankment to fight the disaster during a heavy rainstorm the summer before last.

He can get a monthly salary of 32 yuan, of which 20 yuan will be donated to the families of the martyrs in Nanshi Town.

If I hadn't seen this information in the file before coming to Nanshi Town.

Li Aiguo would not give Mayor Liu a hard time. After returning to the locomotive depot, he directly reported the case to the local unit.

Cui Rendong was arrested, and the transformation of the high-level commune continued.

Mayor Liu changed his past "good guy" style and worked for the members of the mutual aid group one by one.

With the cooperation of Cui Dahu, the team members enthusiastically signed up.

There are a total of eight production cooperation groups in Cuijiazhuang, all of which have joined the high-end cooperative.

Cui Dahu was elected president.

after the conference.

Zhang Hongliang and Mayor Liu were about to return to Nanshi Town, and Li Aiguo took Cui Dahu to send them to the entrance of the village.

Zhang Hongliang rode on Mayor Liu's bicycle, and Mayor Liu sat on the back seat. Before leaving, he did not forget to reach out and wave to Li Aiguo.

As for Xiao Hu and other comrades, they could only walk back on their legs.

Looking at the figure fading away under the setting sun, Li Aiguo scratched his head: "Hey, I seem a little sorry for the comrades at the police station."
