The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 354 This is about my father-in-law, can I be careless?

Inside the tailor shop.

Tailor Zhang saw Li Aiguo's figure disappearing into the light, and turned to look at Chen Fangxuan: "Old Chen, your son-in-law seems to be special."

"Of course, patriotism is the train driver."

"That's not what I meant. There seems to be something wrong with his eyes."

Tailor Zhang remembered that when Li Aiguo looked at her just now, he felt like he had been seen through, and that feeling was very bad.

"What's wrong? They're just normal eyes. People can still have bull's eyes."

Chen Fangxuan finished cutting the cloth. When he saw Tailor Zhang standing there blankly, he came over and whispered, "How have you considered our matter? The children are quite supportive. How about we finish the matter at some time?" "

"Just wait a little longer, my ex-husband's memorial day will be in a few days."

"well."

Chen Fangxuan, who was in his forties, was like a young boy at this time, a little at a loss.

He seemed to remember something, took out a paper bag from his pocket, and placed it on the table with a straight face.

"I was walking on the street today and met Old Liu from the tailor shop next door. He insisted on giving me these yellow sanded candies.

You also know that I hate eating such sweet things.

Take it back with you. "

After saying that, Chen Fangxuan stood up and went to the back to start busy making ribbons.

Listening to the hum of the sewing machine, Tailor Zhang looked a little moved.

Opening the paper package, there was bright yellow sanded sugar inside.

The sugar candies have distinct grains, each one is bright yellow and crystal clear. You can tell at a glance that it is the famous soldier yellow sand sugar.

Before liberation, the palace sugar makers were living among the people, and a trend of selling sanded sugar emerged under the overpass in the capital.

The most famous one is undoubtedly Huang Bing, who "does not criticize heaven or earth, but only criticizes corrupt officials and officials." He is known as one of the "Eight Freaks on the Bridge".

Daibing yellow sugar candies are quite effective in treating coughs, but they are expensive.

Such a pack costs at least [-] to [-] cents.

Who is willing to give it away.

This old Chen.
  Tailor Zhang picked up a piece of yellow sugar and put it into his mouth. The cool and sweet taste instantly spread throughout his body.

She sighed, then finished the work at hand and asked Chen Fangxuan for a half-day leave.

Chen Fangxuan thought that Tailor Zhang was going to church again, so he agreed immediately.

After half an hour.

Tailor Zhang took a bus to the cemetery in Mentougou.

She walked along the overgrown path to a tomb.

The tomb was newly built, and the weeds had not yet covered it, exposing patches of bare loess, which looked a bit ugly.

"Old Shang, what do you think I should do?" Tailor Zhang took out the sacrifice from the canvas bag and sat down holding on to the tombstone.

She leaned against the tombstone and raised her face to look at the white clouds in the sky.

She paused for a moment and murmured: "I was supposed to help you get revenge, but that person seemed to be a good person. The two of us have been bad guys our whole lives. Now that you are dead, my heart has softened. You said I should What to do!”

"In addition, is the train driver the same person who caught you? I want to check it too, but the information has been sealed. Also, the train driver seems to have nails in his eyes, and I smell us from him. the taste of."

As he spoke, Tailor Zhang burst into tears and his voice trembled: "Why are you dead? Didn't we agree at the beginning that I would get there first, and you would follow me after you finish the matter here? , shall we be husband and wife forever?"

"You are so powerful, how could you die!"

"By the way, you must have fallen in love with that little fox Liu Chunhua, and that's why you were careless and got caught."

Tailor Zhang jumped up from the ground, she was like crazy, trampled the steamed buns and fruits to pieces, and spat at the tombstone.

"What a naughty dog! You are a naughty dog ​​and you deserve to be caught!"

She raised her sleeves, wiped her tears, and strode away.

The spit slid down the tombstone and passed the words 'Shang Chonghou'. He no longer had any strength, and finally solidified on the tombstone.

A gust of autumn wind blew, and the grass swayed from side to side.

Uncle Feng, the tombkeeper carrying a wooden stick, walked over from a distance and suddenly stopped when he passed the tomb.

He looked down at the steamed buns and fruits scattered on the ground, frowned and muttered: "Who is so wicked? He dares to mess with things belonging to the dead."

Uncle Feng leaned down and was about to place the sacrifices. When he saw the name on the tombstone, his brows suddenly frowned.

"I remember that Shang Chonghou seemed to be a bad guy. What did the little driver say at that time, this guy is the enemy of the masses!"

Uncle Feng was deeply impressed by the young driver.

After digging the grave, the driver came to visit him from time to time, bringing many gifts each time.

Those things come from all over the world, and some of them can't even be named.

The driver is a good person.
  Uncle Feng looked at the sacrifices and seemed to remember something. His expression suddenly changed. He picked up the wooden stick and strode towards the management office.

the other side.

After Li Aiguo left the tailor shop, he rode his bicycle to the Daqianmen Street Office.

It was business hours at this time, and people were coming and going in the street office.

Li Aiguo was thinking about how to call Chen Xueru out when a voice came from behind.

"Hey, isn't this the chief driver of Xueru's family? He came to pick up Xueru so early today."

Li Aiguo turned his head and was immediately happy. The lesbian standing opposite in the street office uniform was from the same office as Chen Xueru.

"Sister Wang, please help me call Xueru."

"She may be in literacy class now, just wait." Sister Wang agreed and quickly walked into the subdistrict office.

Li Aiguo waited for half an hour before Chen Xueru's pretty figure appeared at the door of the street office.

"Brother Patriot, why are you here?" Chen Xueru ran over like a little white rabbit.

Li Aiguo stepped forward and said with a smile: "I just went to the tailor shop to do some errands, and suddenly I thought of a question."

Li Aiguo explained the matter about the ribbon, and before Chen Xueru could speak, he said directly: "I don't think Tailor Zhang is from the capital."

"It shouldn't be. When the sub-district office sent her to the tailor shop, they already introduced her. Tailor Zhang's real name is Zhang Xiuhua. Her family seems to live in an alley not far from Daqianmen. Her husband died before liberation and she has no children. She is childless and belongs to the urban poor." Chen Xueru frowned.

The urban poor have a birth code of 15, and their characteristics are similar to those of the rural poor. This background is very valuable.

"Then where did she work as a tailor before liberation?" Li Aiguo continued to ask.

Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment, raised her eyelids and thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"I asked dad before, but he was worried about bringing up Tailor Zhang's past sadness, so he never asked."

Chen Xueru's big black eyes rolled around and she said with a smile: "Tailor Zhang was sent to the tailor shop by the Daqianmen Sub-district Office. The Sub-district Office should have her file. I'll check it out and find out."

"Then I have a wife to work for!"

Li Aiguo looked around and saw no one, so he took a bite from the tempting little mouth.

"Bullying people~" Chen Xueru waved her hands in disgust and asked curiously: "Brother Patriot, do you think there is something wrong with Tailor Zhang?"

Li Aiguo was stunned for a moment.

Only then did she remember that Chen Xueru had dealt with Dieter before.

In addition, after joining the Daqianmen Subdistrict Office, they need to study and train specifically, and even ask people like Lao Mao to give them lectures.

For example, strangers with foreign accents and no letters of introduction; residents who eat meat more than twice a month; residents who buy more than two sets of new clothes every year;

Good guy, after Miss Chen studied and compared these rules carefully, she discovered that she was also suspected of Diet.

The rough man can get meat almost every month, and seafood is always available at home.

Ms. Chen hurriedly reported her family situation to the street office to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Miss Chen was already alert. When Li Aiguo asked the question just now, he did not hide it, so she was caught.

But that's fine too.

Husband and wife are of the same mind, and their strength is as strong as gold!

Li Aiguo stopped and looked at Chen Xueru seriously: "Chen Xueru, now I give you a dangerous and arduous task, are you confident to complete it?"

The rough man suddenly became serious, and Chen Xueru was a little uncomfortable with it.

This was the first time she had seen this side of a rough man. The rough man was now like a majestic mountain, weighing her down and making her breathless.

Is this what a rough guy looks like at work?
  Really like.
  "Patriotic brother, Comrade Li Aiguo, please rest assured, I am a female soldier and I promise to complete the mission!"

Chen Xueru put her legs together and straightened her chest.

Female warrior. That's not wrong. After all, this girl has a five-pointed star on her leg.

"This mission is quite special. It needs to be done quietly. No shooters are needed." Li Aiguo waved to Chen Xueru and whispered in her ear.

Chen Xueru's eyes widened little by little, and finally she nodded heavily: "Brother Patriot, don't worry, I can do it!"

Chen Xueru couldn't help but get excited at the thought of finally being able to uncover those bad guys with the rough guy.

At this time, this fierce tiger seems to have turned into a real tiger.

  At the time of liberation, the illiteracy rate was as high as 80%, which means that 10 out of 8 people could not read.

In order to change this situation, the country started its first large-scale literacy campaign in 1952;
  In 1956, the higher authorities called on the people across the country to march toward modern science and culture.

Thus, the second literacy campaign set off another climax.

Against this background, Daqianmen Street held the second literacy class non-stop after the success of the previous literacy class.

Chen Xueru has now been recognized by the subdistrict office and has become a gold medal lecturer, so she naturally has to shoulder important responsibilities.

I was busy in the temporary classroom for two hours.

When it was time to get off work, Miss Chen finally had some free time.

After sending away the old ladies carrying shoe soles and the young wives carrying their children, Miss Chen walked leisurely to the Labor Department located in the Second Department.

These days, the subdistrict office, as the most basic unit, has great power and is responsible for dispatching public managers and other personnel to various shops.

These personnel are managed by the labor group.

The officer of the Labor team is Zhang Mei, a middle -aged aunt. When she saw the girl Xiao Chen coming in and greeted, "Director Chen, aren't you busy lectures? Why did you come here?"

Chen Xueru took out a newspaper bundle from her pocket and handed it over: "Don't your daughter-in-law have a bad appetite? My family went on a business trip a while ago and got some wild hawthorn from the countryside. This stuff is good for your body and appetite. Try it."

Zhang Mei's eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant. She vomits everything she eats, but she just wants to eat some fresh hawthorn.

This is a good thing for sour children and spicy women, but there is no fresh hawthorn in the Beijing Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and Zhang Mei is very worried.

"Hey, it's still fresh."

"That train driver of yours is really capable."

Zhang Mei opened the paper bag and looked at the bright red hawthorn, her eyes narrowed with joy: "Xueru, I didn't say anything. If you come to my aunt's place usefully in the future, I will definitely have nothing to say."

A bit of wild hawthorn is not worth much, and the relationship between the two quickly became closer.

After chatting for a while, Chen Xueru pretended to be unintentional and asked: "Aunt Zhang, the tailor Zhang sent to Chen Ji Tailor Shop doesn't sound like she's from the capital, right?"

"No, after Fan Jinyou's incident, the people sent to your tailor shop are all carefully selected. They won't use those raw melon eggs outside." Zhang Mei put the paper bag into her coat pocket. , stood up and took out a stack of files from the cabinet.

"Auntie will check it for you right now."

After flipping through a few pages, Zhang Mei's brows suddenly frowned: "Something's wrong, why is there no Tailor Zhang's file here?"

Chen Xueru's heart skipped a beat, but her expression was calm: "Aunt Zhang, I just asked casually."

Management was not strict these days, and it was common for files to be lost. Zhang Mei didn't care at first, but she felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.

"Xueru, something is wrong with this matter. Wait a minute. I'll ask Old Suntou. He was the one who handled Tailor Zhang's matter back then."

"Old Suntou, where is Zhang Xiuhua's file! Haven't you sent it over yet?" Zhang Mei rushed out holding the file box in her arms.

After a while, she returned to the office and said angrily: "I understand, Zhang Xiuhua is not from our street office at all, not even a temporary worker."

"She was originally a tailor at Hou Ji Silk Shop. Don't we need a tailor with superb skills? Butler Bai introduced her here."

"I just said, don't worry about losing files." Zhang Mei said and handed over an information sheet: "This is a file that was added later. You see, she is from the capital."

Chen Xueru took it and read it over, wrote down all the information on it, and said with a smile when passing it over: "Aunt Zhang, I heard that pregnant lesbians with round bellies will give birth to sons."

"Yeah, my daughter-in-law's belly is round."

Mentioning these things, Zhang Mei suddenly became energetic.

After the two chatted for a while, Chen Xueru left the labor team and sat for a while with Director Liu who managed the files.

After sending two pecans, I successfully checked the neighborhood residential composition file table.

Returning to her desk and looking at the literacy materials, Chen Xueru no longer had the intention to work.

I just hope to report the situation to the rough man in the evening.

By the time Chen Xueru got home, Li Aiguo had already prepared dinner.

In order to reward the little soldier Chen Xueru for her first mission.

Li Aiguo went to the vegetable market to buy eggs, vegetables, and tofu and made a large table of dishes.

Scrambled eggs with chopped green onions, stir-fried vegetables, braised tofu, fried peanuts, the staple food is cornstarch paste, and white flour steamed buns.

Chen Xueru entered the room and saw the table full of dishes. She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

After washing my hands, I picked up the chopsticks and started eating big chunks of food. I didn't put down the chopsticks until I was full and rubbed my belly.

"Oops, I'm going to gain weight again."

"I just like chubby girls." Li Aiguo picked up a piece of egg and put it into her bowl.

Chen Xueru knew clearly that the rough man was talking sweetly, but she still felt happy in her heart.

"How is the investigation of Zhang Xiuhua's situation?"

"Ah, I almost forgot." Chen Xueru stuck out her cute little tongue and quickly straightened up to report: "Zhang Xiuhua is not a temporary worker from the street office, but was introduced to Daqianmen Street by Butler Bai of Hou's Silk and Satin Shop. It’s done.”

The chopsticks were frozen in the air, and Li Aiguo narrowed his eyes slightly.

He remembered that when the locomotive depot released Hou Bingchang, he did meet a middle-aged man who called himself Butler Bai.

"Zhang Xiuhua's archives were added later. According to the archives, Zhang Xiuhua came to the capital before liberation. Her husband died in the war and she has been working in the Hou family silk and satin shop, but"

As she spoke, a trace of doubt flashed in Chen Xueru's eyes, and she said with some hesitation: "Zhang Xiuhua's birth composition list was not found in the household composition registration files of the subdistrict office."

The rural areas began to be divided into different groups in the [-]s.

By [-], the transformation was over and the urban population began to be divided into different groups.

The sub-district office officers investigate the situation of the households and use a three-year back-examination method to assess the status of the households.

Because this was an important rectification task, all the sub-district office officers were mobilized to conduct door-to-door inspections to ensure that no one was missed.

There was no ingredient list for Zhang Xiuhua at the Daqianmen Sub-district Office, which only meant that she was not in the capital at the time.

Chen Xueru saw Li Aiguo's solemn expression and understood the reason. She put down her chopsticks and said doubtfully: "The tailor shop is not a secret place. My family is not a time-honored brand and there is no ancestral recipe. How could Zhang Xiuhua target my family?"

"The enemy will not target without aim. Since they are acting, they must have a plan!" Li Aiguo said slowly: "What special thing happened to your family recently?"

"No, my dad is the manager and greets customers in the tailor shop every day. The eldest brother is a worker." Chen Xueru said halfway, her face changed: "The eldest brother seems to have been promoted recently. I don't know the specific position. I just heard from my sister-in-law that I can earn more every month." Get a five-dollar subsidy.”

Her voice immediately became hesitant again: "It's just that the eldest brother was promoted. It seems that it happened after Tailor Zhang entered the shop. She couldn't predict it beforehand!"

At this time, Chen Xueru felt like one of our own people in the movie. She knew that the other party was Dieter, but she couldn't make a move.

This is about my father-in-law, how can I be careless?

There was too much information missing, and Li Aiguo was a little confused.

However, he made a quick decision.

Call the police!
  Isn't it stupid to put aside the iron fist and fight with those demons and demons?

Before liberation, we were at a disadvantage and had to fight wits and courage with the enemy.

Now that the enemy has fled in panic, all we have to do is use our strength to create a miracle.

After dinner.

Li Aiguo excused himself to go out to eat and prepared to leave the house.

"Brother Patriot, please wait a moment and help me buy something."

Taking a red ticket from Chen Xueru, Li Aiguo was silent for a moment.

Yes, who makes us a good husband?
  Putting the coupons into his pocket, Li Aiguo strode out of the house and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative at the corner of the street.

"Mom, call."

"It's five cents a minute. Just watch the time and put the money in the cardboard box."

The fat lady from the supply and marketing cooperative didn't even owe her money. She continued to crack melon seeds and chatted animatedly with the young man next door.

Li Aiguo really wanted to call Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu over, drag the culprit back to the courtyard and criticize her severely.

After all, if the fat lady had not sold the underpants to Qin Huairu, the underpants would not have entered Xu Damao's house. Xu Jixiang's ribs would not be broken, Jia Zhang's head would not be broken, and Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu would not have bruises on their noses and faces.
  Snap, the fat aunt pressed the alarm clock with her hand.

Li Aiguo: "."

Looking at the ticking hands of the alarm clock, he decided not to argue with the fat lady. He quickly shook the phone and called out a series of numbers to the operator.

Fifty-nine seconds later, the phone was placed on the fork, and the fat lady looked back angrily.

After dropping five cents, Li Aiguo took out a red ticket and [-] cents from his pocket and handed it over: "Comrade, here's something like this."

"What the hell."

The fat on the fat lady’s face was shaking. When she saw the ticket clearly, her expression looked like this↓

Li Aiguo put his hands in his pockets, turned sideways and swayed left and right in front of the counter, whistling in his mouth.

At this moment, he is just an innocent passerby.

"Hey, I'm helping my wife buy a menstrual belt. I didn't expect you to be a good husband."

Li Aiguo was caught off guard and almost ducked.

He dodged the red thing from the fat aunt's hand, turned around and ran away in a hurry.

There was a burst of laughter behind him.

Li Aiguo made up his mind that whoever does this kind of thing again will be a dog.

late at night.

Chen Xueru, who was seriously injured but still insisted on eating ice cream, raised her head and said with a smile: "Brother Patriot, thank you for today."

She was already very tired at this time, her delicate little face was flushed, her eyes were blurred and deep, her eyebrows were white and her teeth were wet, and she was dripping with sweat.

"Ah, it's nothing! It's a new society now, and old ideas are no longer relevant. I'll buy them for you next time." Li Aiguo sat up straight.

I whispered in my heart: It’s not bad to be a dog man
  In the auditorium of the Kuanjie Church of the Church of Christ.

The light is dim.

A group of ladies followed the pastor and chanted scriptures, but Tailor Zhang, who was sitting in the corner, looked a little panicked.

She turned her head from time to time and looked at the door of the auditorium, as if she had been waiting for someone to appear.

It's a pity that I waited until the end and didn't wait for that person.

At this time, the church had already begun to distribute Holy Communion, and the group of ladies who came here just for the biscuits rushed forward one after another and surrounded the church deacon.

"People should examine themselves, and then eat this bread and drink this cup. In the face of sins, we always ask others to forgive ourselves. Although we are many, we are still one bread and one body, because we all partake of this one bread.

Dear citizens, please don’t panic, everyone has a role to play! says the Lord.”

"My dear mother, give me the biscuits quickly."

The old woman and the young daughter-in-law saw the pastor complaining and wanted to tease him a few more words.

At this point, he couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward to loot the Holy Communion.

Just kidding, the reason why they left their children alone and came here to listen to these guys talking nonsense was because of this biscuit.

The blond deacon was obviously a new recruit, and he was stunned for a moment, and the scene became chaotic.

“Forgive these ignorant people,” Tailor Zhang muttered in a low voice, shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and left the auditorium.

As soon as he went out, a voice came from behind him.

"Please come with me, Butler Bai wants to see you."
