The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 353 The deaf old lady who was innocently lying at gunpoint, Tailor Zhang is on the move
  Not to mention the laughter and laughter of the Xu family.

The Jia family suffered a big loss this time.

After Jia Zhang returned home, she scolded Qin Huairu again.

Qin Huairu, who was shot while lying down, naturally shouted innocent.

Jia Zhang felt that Qin Huairu should be like the old women in the countryside and rush to fight Xu Damao.

Even if he can't take advantage, he can still make Xu Damao look coquettish and make him feel bad.

Qin Huairu was speechless for a moment and could only go into the kitchen to work.

Because there was no meat seller in the afternoon vegetable market, the Jia family had to make do with stick noodle porridge for dinner.

Mrs. Jia Zhang drank the porridge and smelled the aroma from Xu Damao's house. She was so angry that she threw her chopsticks on the table and cursed.

"Xu Damao, a thief like me, won't even treat my old lady to meat. Sooner or later, I'll choke to death."

Banggeng was learning to speak now, and he also clapped his hands and shouted, "Thief Sun choked to death, Thief Sun choked to death."

Qin Huairu wanted to stop Banggeng, but Jia Zhang picked up Banggeng and couldn't close her mouth with joy: "My eldest grandson is awesome!"

Although Banggeng was ignorant, he knew that Mrs. Jia Zhang was praising him, so he scolded him even more vigorously.

After the Xu family, Li Aiguo and Chen Xueru had had enough wine and food, they said goodbye and left a little drunk.

Xu Damao was also a little drunk. Before leaving, he took Li Aiguo's arm and asked, "Brother Patriot, can't you really go to Nanshi Town?"

"I won't persuade you to go, and I won't go if you ask me to go."

"." Xu Damao couldn't understand, while Liu Lan felt that she should sign up for literacy classes.

On the way back, Chen Xueru also became curious about the purchase of supplies in Nanshi Town, and said with some confusion: "Liu Lan is a nice person, and he helped me a lot in the compound. Why can't you explain the matter clearly? ?”

She knew that the reason why Li Aiguo was so sure was that he must have obtained the exact information.

"There are some things that I can't tell you clearly." There was no hint of drunkenness on Li Aiguo's face.

A gust of cold wind blew over, and Chen Xueru shivered and woke up.

As a former tailor in a tailor shop and now a temporary director of the subdistrict office, Chen Xueru is also more sensitive than the average person.

Instantly aware of the danger.

Sometimes, an innocent mistake can be used as a basis for others to attack you.

The air is getting cooler.

Chen Xueru's hands tightly grasped the rough man's arm.

Having him by my side makes me feel more at ease.

After returning home, the two of them washed up and sat at the head of the pit. Li Aiguo took out the book from under the pillow and chuckled: "Daughter-in-law, let's go back and continue studying. We will finish the book soon."

Chen Xueru: "."

This rough man is very serious when doing things, but when he goes to bed, he becomes less serious?
  However, she likes it.

The sound of Chen Xueru's reading soon sounded in the room.

At this time in the house next door.

Liu Lan put the two children to sleep, took off their pants and got into bed.

Xu Damao got into bed early, curled up and pretended to be sleeping soundly.

Hitting Xu Damao with her elbow, Liu Lan reminded: "Da Mao, how long has it been since we lived?"

"Hmm. I'm drunk. Let's talk about it next time." Xu Damao pretended to be drunk.

He has been to the countryside to play movies too many times recently, and he is a little overwhelmed.

I heard that Li Aiguo has some kind of medicinal wine, which is very effective. I can think of ways to make some.

It's just that this guy is not a generous person, so he has to find other ways.

"Sleep, sleep, sleep! Just sleep, I might as well marry a stone!"

Liu Lan became even more angry when she heard the sound of reading next door.

He twisted Xu Damao's body hard, got into the bed, and pulled the quilt to cover his head.

This day is not as happy as being a little widow!

Xu Damao's body was bruised and swollen but he did not dare to say a word.

Seeing that Liu Lan was sleeping, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the corner of the quilt to prepare for bed.

Whoa!

A loud noise came from outside.

Both of them were shocked. Xu Damao put on his shoes and walked out of the back room. They saw that the glass window in the main room was smashed and broken glass was scattered on the floor.

Looking at the brick, Xu Damao scratched his head: "I haven't offended the deaf old lady recently. Why did she smash the glass of my house?"

"The deaf old lady who lives in the back room? Why is she doing this?"

Liu Lan knew that there was an old lady in the compound, but she had not met her several times.

But she couldn't understand why the deaf old lady would do such a thing.

"I don't understand either. Forget it, go to sleep. Tomorrow I will go to the logistics department of the steel rolling mill and install a piece of glass."

"Da Mao, are you afraid of the deaf old lady?" Seeing that Xu Damao was scared, Liu Lan took his arm and said, "What is the origin of this deaf old lady?"

"She is the ancestor of our compound, and she is very good at pretending to be crazy and acting stupid.

In the past, when Silly Zhu was here, he would show off his power in the courtyard all day long.

Because of his bad intentions, he cursed Silly Pillar into it. "

Xu Damao said this, feeling that he had a share of credit for sending Silly Zhu in.

Xu Damao suddenly became excited, picked up the newspaper to block the broken window, took Liu Lan's arm and walked into the inner room.

The wild cat outside meowed for two minutes and then suddenly stopped.

"Have you been messing around again lately?"

"No, absolutely not."

"Snapped!"

Xu Damao was kicked out of bed.

Lying on the cold floor, Damao wanted to understand a truth: never initiate an unwinnable war when you are at a disadvantage.

Damn deaf old lady.

If you hadn't smashed the glass, would I have been so impulsive?
  If I don't act impulsively, I won't fail.

If you don’t fail, you won’t get kicked.

So you are the culprit.

Xu Damao turned into a great philosopher again at this moment.

"Ah!"

On the bed in the nursery, the deaf old lady suddenly woke up from her nightmare and sneezed twice in a row.

This time the courtyard pants incident was such a big deal.

Yi Zhonghai asked her twice to suppress him, but she was sad about Si Zhu and did not agree.

She couldn't understand why someone was cursing her behind her back?

Inside Jia's house.

Jia Dongxu gave a thumbs up to Jia Zhang: "Mom, your trick of blaming others is really powerful. Xu Damao's window was smashed and he didn't even dare to show his face."

"Of course, the deaf old lady in our compound likes to smash other people's windows!" Mrs. Jia Zhang said proudly.

Although her family suffered a loss this time, they were able to blame the deaf old lady.

To some extent, it is also a victory.

All parties felt victorious.

In the following days, the courtyard returned to calm.

Li Aiguo arrived at the locomotive depot today and had a new task - to make an enhanced version of the cabin crew rules.

This was Commander Bai's idea.

"There are more than [-] chartered crews across the country, and they have all learned the code of conduct for flight attendants. It is very difficult for us to stand out from the crowd." Captain Bai looked at Li Aiguo: "So the chartered crews must increase their responsibilities. Driver Li is the code of conduct for flight attendants." The writer must have new ideas.”

When his name was called, Li Aiguo stood up and said, "I do have two ideas, but they are more difficult."

Hearing that it was difficult, Commander Bai became interested.

It is precisely because of the difficulty that we can achieve the goal of being able to stand out from more than [-] groups and win the final victory.

For the sake of collective honor and to get the enamel jar, Li Aiguo naturally would not hide his secrets and said slowly:

“The first one is the issue of water delivery.

According to the current regulations, passengers need to go to the pot dining car to buy tea tickets, and then go to the tea stove car to buy boiling water.

These jobs are nothing for young people, but some elderly people have poor legs and feet and are prone to accidents.

So I suggest that the flight attendants deliver water to your seat. "

"It's a good idea to deliver water to all seats." Captain Bai was an experienced coach and immediately realized the feasibility of it: "Xiao Zhang and Xiao Zhao in the crew were previously responsible for selling goods, so we can let them be additionally responsible for delivering water. Door-to-door mission.”

Just after liberation, there were salesmen on the train selling candies, cigarettes, souvenirs, etc. in baskets.

Later, it was banned because of its bad influence.

Delivering water is also a hard job, but the two young flight attendants, Xiao Zhang and Xiao Zhao, stood up and agreed without any hesitation.

"What about another idea?" Commander Bai asked.

"We flight attendants should wear a ribbon with the four characters 'Serve Passengers' embroidered with yellow silk thread."

"Isn't this too exaggerated?" Commander Bai looked strange, and the flight attendants in the crew also looked confused, especially Zhao Yazhi.

The girl felt a little embarrassed when she thought about how she looked with the big red ribbon on her arm, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue.

Li Aiguo explained: "The large characters on the ribbon can make passengers trust our flight attendants more, and at the same time, they can always remind the flight attendants that their job is to serve passengers."

"In addition, the unified red ribbon is also conducive to establishing the image of our 131 crew. When the above selection comes down to the next group, we will see that the image of the flight attendants is unified."

Li Aiguo did not continue.

Captain Bai has already understood.

Facade skills exist in every era.

Besides, the red ribbon can indeed play an important role, and it is not just for appearance.

She secretly sighed in her heart that this boy was really a clever little guy.

"Wearing the ribbon involves the appearance of the flight attendants and requires approval from the Education Department. I will go see Director She now."

Captain Bai wanted to win the title of advanced crew member and quickly left the conference room.     A moment later.

Captain Bai came back and brought back the opinions of the Education Department.

"This is the first time the Education Department has encountered this kind of problem. After some discussion, it adopted an attitude of neither support nor objection."

I have to say that the Chinese language has a broad spirit.

Not supporting or opposing, it means it has nothing to do with me, you 131 pack crew can do whatever you want.

However, because the materials for making the ribbons were not previously documented and could not be obtained from the logistics department, the 131st crew needed to make the ribbons themselves.

Captain Bai and several female flight attendants calculated the situation.

The charter team includes the chief and deputy team, plus the police and driver team, there are more than [-] people in total, and they need two feet of red ribbon and a large amount of yellow silk thread.

In addition, if you want to make a red ribbon into a ribbon, you need several sewing masters. The lesbians in the package crew can only sew and mend some household clothes, but they are really timid about making such fine needlework.

After all, the ribbon is related to the reputation of the crew and must not be careless.

After discussing for a while, Captain Bai walked towards Li Aiguo and said with a smile: "Comrade Patriot, I remember that your wife's family owns a tailor shop. It seems to be quite famous in Daqianmen. Why don't we just leave this job to you?" .”

"That's a good feeling. Thank you Commander Bai."

Li Aiguo was overjoyed. There was no need to kiss her.

Besides, he had always wanted to meet Tailor Zhang, but never got the chance.

The charter group sells a large number of camper van spaces on every trip.

In addition to turning over the extra money to the maintenance section and distributing it to the crew members, Captain Bai would keep a portion of it every time and use it as a small treasury for the 131 crew, which came in handy this time.

As for cloth tickets, that's a better solution.

Captain Bai and several lesbians blocked the section chief's office.

Duan Chang Xing, who was in a hurry to go to the ministry meeting, faced the aggressive female workers. He raised his hands in surrender, called the chief of the material department, and temporarily issued a two-foot cloth ticket.

There is no way, workers in these days are so arrogant.

Driving back to the capital in the afternoon, Li Aiguo, who was entrusted by the crew, rode his bicycle to Chen Ji Tailor Shop.

Sister-in-law Zhao Qingfang, who works in the lumber factory, took off work today and came to the tailor shop early in the morning.

He said he wanted to help, but he actually wanted to chat with Tailor Zhang.

Since Zhao Qingfang started to think about bringing Tailor Zhang and Chen Fangxuan together, Zhao Qingfang often hangs around the tailor shop.

Although Tailor Zhang doesn't like to talk much on weekdays and spends all day squatting in front of the sewing machine, he is particularly enthusiastic about Zhao Qingfang.

Every time I see Zhao Qingfang, I go to the snack shop next door to buy a few snacks.

Although it wasn't worth much, it suited Zhao Qingfang's liking.

The two quickly became good friends.

"Qingfang, come and try this." Tailor Zhang saw off the last customer and took out a White Rabbit toffee from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Qingfang.

"Oh, Aunt Zhang, you are so kind to me." Zhao Qingfang's belly gradually grew bigger, and she was very greedy when she was pregnant.

She took the toffee, peeled off the wrapper and stuffed it into her mouth. Her cheeks were bulging, and she didn't waste time on her little mouth: "Aunt Zhang, why are you so nice to me!"

"I just like your temperament, just say whatever you want." Tailor Zhang coughed lightly and said nonchalantly.

Zhao Qingfang was very happy after hearing this, and sat on the chair holding her waist: "Aunt Zhang, you still know the goods. You are not like my family. I am a boring gourd. I can't beat a fart with three sticks. I dislike me for talking too much!"

"By the way, how's your business going lately?" Tailor Zhang picked up the tea bottle, poured tea into an enamel jar, and handed it to Zhao Qingfang.

"Thank you Aunt Zhang." Zhao Qingfang put the enamel jar on the table and said with a bright smile: "Since I followed that engineer, I can eat with him every day. They call it the expert's stove, and there is a lot of fat in it."

"Really? Your Xingjia family is really good." A sharp look flashed in Tailor Zhang's eyes, he coughed twice and laughed: "Xingjia didn't tell you, what's the name of the engineer? Which workshop is their laboratory in?"

"Not at all. As you know, Xing Jia didn't like me asking about his work." Zhao Qingfang looked a little depressed: "Actually, it was the glass fiber reinforced plastic they made. Xing Jia only told me after he was drunk."

"You, you have to be careful."

"Why, Aunt Zhang."

Seeing Zhao Qingfang's nervous expression, Tailor Zhang paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Auntie is here. She knows men very well. If they deliberately hide something from women, they must want to do something bad."

"No way! My Xingjia family is an honest man." Zhao Qingfang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

He said proudly: "Last year, Xingjia accepted a female apprentice.

You don’t know, that little girl looks as fresh as a green onion, and she follows my family all day long. The master is long and the master is short.

No matter what happens, he will always come to my house, Xingjia.

My shop manager thought she was annoying, so he transferred the little girl to another workshop.

Tell me, what is there to worry about with such a wooden head? "

Tailor Zhang crossed his legs and said, "Don't be careless. I heard that there are lesbians among engineers. Those women have all gone to college, are knowledgeable and cultured, and can also write poems and songs, which are attractive to men." It’s very powerful!”

Hearing this, Zhao Qingfang's expression suddenly changed.

"Xing Jia is not well-educated, but he likes to read poetry and so on. Every time I scold him for being an old sow wearing glasses - pretending to be polite.

Xing Jia used to tell me everything, but now every time I ask about things in the laboratory, he is secretive.

Is there really another woman? "

Tailor Zhang saw that Zhao Qingfang had been taken to the ditch by her, so he did not continue to speak, so as not to arouse suspicion.

The seeds of doubt have been planted, and all that's left is for them to take root and sprout.

Thinking of this, Tailor Zhang felt a little depressed again.

Originally, when she returned to the capital by boat this time, she only had to find a way to steal her dead husband's ashes, find the person who harmed her husband, and find a way to avenge her husband, and then she would leave this sad place forever.

Who would have thought that I would wait until I came to the capital.

Those people went back on their word and had to let her complete the task before they were willing to help her.

In other words, those people had already planned it before sending her back to the mainland.
  Tailor Zhang was also a veteran before the liberation, and was even well-known in the enemy system, otherwise he would not have been able to get the opportunity to go to sea when the capital was liberated.

She returned to the capital on a small sampan.

It was easy to sneak into a tailor shop and wait for the opportunity. It took two months to lock in the fiberglass.

Zhao Qingfang was useless. It had been half a month, but he still couldn't pry Xing Jia's mouth open.

If you use this move today, you may be close to completing the mission.

Tailor Zhang's mood gradually improved, and he decided to go see that damn husband after get off work.

"Qingfang, it's getting late, you'd better go back quickly."

"Ah, yes, yes, I have to go back and ask Xingjia if there is another woman." Zhao Qingfang was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.

At this moment, a burly figure walked in from the open door, and bright light fell on him, making the whole person look very tall.

Tailor Zhang recognized the person clearly, frowned vaguely, and quickly calmed down.

"Comrade, what clothes do you want to wear?" She stood up and went to meet him.

Li Aiguo entered the shop, nodded to her, then looked at Zhao Qingfang and asked, "Brother Xingjia has another woman?"

Li Aiguo had been standing at the door for a while just now, listening clearly to the conversation between the two.

"He's here for patriotism. What, how can there be a woman? I'm talking nonsense." Zhao Qingfang's eyes flashed and his words faltered.

"Really?" Li Aiguo didn't ask further questions. He walked to the counter and looked at Tailor Zhang calmly: "Comrade Tailor, I want to make a batch of red ribbons with golden words embroidered on them."

Li Aiguo, just like an ordinary customer, described the appearance of the ribbon to Tailor Zhang.

But his eyes were examining Tailor Zhang in a subtle way.

This woman was probably in her forties. Her black hair was pulled up into a bun with a silver hairpin on it. She was wearing a floral blouse and labor cloth pants.

They look no different from those middle-aged women in the capital.

The skin color is somewhat dark.

This kind of darkness is different from the natural blackness.

The natural blackness of ordinary people mainly affects the color of the skin without changing the texture and structure of the skin.

The specific manifestation is that the skin does not reflect light, as if it has not been washed.

This kind of black color is very common in these days when sanitary conditions are poor.

Tailor Zhang's dark complexion gave Li Aiguo the impression that his skin was shiny and unevenly dark.

This is the kind of tan that often appears on people who come back from traveling to the beach.

Most people can't tell the subtle differences.

But Li Aiguo's detective skills are as high as 81 points, so how can he hide it from his eyes?

According to Chen Fangxuan, Tailor Zhang is from the capital and has been staying in the capital and has never been to the beach.

Suspicion arose in his heart, but Li Aiguo's expression did not change at all: "Comrade, please calculate how much money and cloth tickets are needed to make these ribbons."

Just as Tailor Zhang was about to pick up the abacus, Zhao Qingfang stood up and introduced: "Aunt Zhang, you don't know, right? This is Xueru's man, Li Aiguo, the train driver in the locomotive depot."

"Oh, you are Li Aiguo. I often hear Xueru and Manager Chen mention you." Tailor Zhang had just the right amount of surprise on his face.

She looked Li Aiguo up and down, and said with a click of her tongue: "Young man is tall and big. No wonder Xue Ru is praising you at your parents' house."

When Li Aiguo was praised, Zhao Qingfang seemed moved and honored. She said proudly: "Aiguo is not only handsome, but he is also a great driver. I have seen a lot of strange things brought back from all over the world in the past six months."

What could Li Aiguo say? He could only pretend to be shy.

Fortunately, the two of them had been touting their business for a while, and Chen Fangxuan came back from outside.

Hearing that Li Aiguo wanted to help the crew make ribbons, Chen Fangxuan immediately offered a [-]% discount on the crafting fee.

Li Aiguo said that it was not necessary, as long as the ribbon was made more exquisitely, that would be fine.

Chen Fangxuan has often worked for public institutions and knows the ropes.

The price does not need to be favorable, but the quality must be guaranteed.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be a big problem.

Chen Fangxuan immediately took out a piece of red silk from the warehouse that was produced just this year.

I pulled hard with my hand, no problem.

"How about it, patriotism?"

"Dad, you are an old tailor, so this matter will trouble you."

"Then this is the batch of cloth. For silk thread, use this bright yellow thread. Before liberation, this color could only be used by the Huang family."

It was a small job, but Chen Fangxuan felt a lot of pressure. He personally selected red silk and yellow thread and helped sew the ribbon himself.

Tailor Zhang here has already calculated the money and cloth tickets.

Li Aiguo had other things on his mind. After handing her the money and cloth receipts, he said goodbye to Chen Fangxuan and left the tailor shop.
