The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 366 The Jia family’s house collapsed and Li Aiguo refused to save him. What does it mean to turn a bad thing into a good thing?

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the capital's construction was in dire straits.

It clarifies the work policy of urban construction “serving production and serving the working people”.

List urban sewer construction as an important construction project.

The leader even clearly approved the construction opinions: "In the old society, we built projects where dignitaries lived. In New China, we build projects where working people live. The nature of the old and new societies is different."

Since 1953, with the implementation of the first Five-Year Plan, the capital has successively built a number of key projects such as the Sihai Sewerage Project.

only.

Human power sometimes seems particularly insignificant in the face of natural disasters.

This sudden heavy rain caused a lot of trouble to various neighborhoods in the capital.

The situation on Daqianmen Street is not optimistic either.

So much so that when Chen Xueru got home, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.

After dragging her tired pace home, she saw a rough man in an apron bringing a bowl of ginger soup from the kitchen. Miss Chen was so happy that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

The tiredness in his body disappeared immediately, and the sweetness in his heart was about to overflow.

"What are you looking at? Come and drink some ginger soup to dispel the coldness in your body."

Miss Chen raised her little face and pouted her little mouth: "Baba, hello."

Li Aiguo: "."

After meal.

Miss Chen washed the dishes and saw Li Aiguo sitting at the desk reading, but did not disturb him.

He sneaked into the house, took out a trial cheongsam from the cabinet and put it on.

Standing in front of the mirror, she pinched the corner of her clothes and looked left and right. Miss Chen looked confused and muttered in a low voice: "This doesn't look like Crazy Horse? Why does Brother Patriot call it a Crazy Horse show? Is there such a thing?"

After asking three questions in a row, Miss Chen decided to ignore it.

Anyway, the patriotic brother likes to see her dressed like this.

Then put it on.

Before getting married, Chen Xueru was the kind of girl with a conservative personality.

Normally I wouldn't even dare to wear a cheongsam, but now I can wear it so revealingly.

Looking down at Bai Huahua, Chen Xueru's face turned red with embarrassment.

Chen Xueru, Chen Xueru, you are becoming less and less ashamed.

night.

Quietly.

The stage is set up, beautiful actors are in place, and beautiful music plays.

Li Aiguo leaned on the bed, eyes slightly narrowed, ready to enjoy the colorful nightlife.

Night enveloped the courtyard.

It rained heavily, and the courtyard seemed to be wrapped in rain.

The lights were on in every house, and the residents chatted and enjoyed the rare heavy rain after a tiring day.

Inside Jia's house.

Qin Huairu put Banggan to sleep, and then went to help Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu wash their feet. This was a moment of leisure.

She sat on a chair and beat her aching waist, looking at the pouring rain outside the house, and became stunned.

Looking across the door, Qin Huairu's expression suddenly changed and she couldn't help but rub her eyes.

The gap in the wall became bigger and bigger in the wind and rain. Qin Huairu was so frightened that she screamed "Oh my God", rushed out of the back room, picked up the stick and ran into the heavy rain.

"You little bitch, are you going crazy with epilepsy?"

Jia Zhang was shocked by Qin Huairu and was about to take the opportunity to scold her.

"The water is cold, Qin Huairu, come and add some hot water to me." Jia Dongxu shouted at the top of his lungs.

slam

As soon as he finished speaking, the brick wall at the front door of Jia's house collapsed.

Then the whole room shook violently. Bricks and tiles from the roof slid down, spreading dust and ashes all around.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was almost crushed under the brick wall. She didn't even bother to put on her shoes and ran out barefoot.

In a daze, I felt someone behind me.

Jia Zhang subconsciously pushed back, pushed the other person away, and then took the opportunity to run out of the house.

When they got outside, Jia Zhang looked back and was shocked.

The house behind him has collapsed.

Walls collapsed, windows were shattered, and furniture and debris in the house were trapped under the rubble.

The ruins exude a dull atmosphere,

If he hadn't escaped just now, he would have been crushed to death.

Jia Zhang couldn't help but shudder.

Thinking of what Qin Huairu did just now, Jia Zhang felt that the air had turned cold.

"You scared my old lady to death, damn Qin Huairu, you didn't even think about me when you ran away."

"Do you want me to die?"

"You are so heartless!"

In the pouring rain, Mrs. Jia Zhang's hair was sticky to her scalp, and she pointed at Qin Huairu's nose and cursed like crazy.

After unbuttoning her clothes and covering Banggan's head, Qin Huairu wiped the rainwater from her forehead and said calmly: "Mom, Dongxu is still in the house."

"belch"

When Jia Zhang heard this, her expression suddenly changed.

She quickly ran to the side of the house and wanted to rush into the house. At this time, the roof shook and two more tiles fell down.

When it landed at her feet, Jia Zhang was startled and quickly retreated.

She pointed at Qin Huairu and shouted: "Save people, Qin Huairu, go in quickly and rescue Dongxu!"

In the pouring rain, Qin Huairu's heart was as cold as the rain.

She could clearly see what Jia Zhang had done just now.

The old woman was afraid of death. Instead of saving her son, she wanted to take risks for her.

"Mom, I can't save people by myself. Let's call others for help." Qin Huairu said with a roll of her eyes.

"Yes, yes, if one party is in trouble, there will be support from all sides. They have to help us." Jia Zhang said, patting her thigh.

She completely forgot about those words she cursed at the vigilante patrol.

Jia Zhang ran to the backyard in a hurry.

A brutal collision knocked open the door of Yi Zhonghai's house.

Yi Zhonghai was getting ready to go to bed when he was startled, lifted up the quilt and ran out wearing only his underwear.

Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang's panic, she felt that something had happened.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

"My house collapsed, and Dongxu was crushed under the house." Jia Zhang yelled, "Lao Yi, you are Dongxu's master, hurry up and bring someone to rescue Dongxu."

Jia Dongxu was appointed by the emperor to support the elderly, and Yi Zhonghai was also panicking at this moment.

He rushed into the back room, put on his clothes, and rushed out.

The eldest mother grabbed him and said, "Old man, you have to be careful."

"Do not worry."

Yi Zhonghai took the flashlight and took Jia Zhang back to the middle courtyard.

At this time, many residents were already surrounding the middle courtyard.

Everyone heard the loud noise and rushed over to help.

But it was raining hard at this time.

The raindrops covered with coldness fell on my face, as if it had been cut by a knife.

Everyone was hiding under the eaves in front of Xu Damao and Nan Yi's house to take shelter from the rain.

Seeing Qin Huairu disappear, Jia Zhang shouted at the top of her lungs: "Qin Huairu, where did you die? Your man was crushed to death, but you are at ease."

Qin Huairu had just put the stick on Liu Lan's bed and hadn't had time to wipe her hair.

Hearing the roar, I could only say apologetically to Liu Lan: "Liu Lan, thank you.".

Then he quickly ran out of the house.

Liu Lan looked at Qin Huairu's back, smiled bitterly and shook her head: "It's really hard for this woman to have a mother-in-law like Jia Zhang."

Xu Damao stared at Qin Huairu's plump ass and swallowed.

He muttered in a low voice: "I had long thought that Qin Huairu was the little widow's fate, but I didn't expect that Jia Dongxu would die like this, so did I..."

His lustful look caught Liu Lan's eyes.

Snapped!

Liu Lan took off the soles of her shoes and breathed into Xu Damao's face.

outside the house.

Under the dim light, the rain became heavier and heavier.

Jia Zhang hid under the eaves, pointed at Qin Huairu's nose and wanted to curse.

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and stopped her.

"Sister-in-law, the most important thing now is to rescue Dongxu quickly."

"Yes, yes, Lao Yi, you are Dongxu's master, hurry up and rescue Dongxu."

Yi Zhonghai: "."

He also knew that Jia Zhang could not count on him, so he walked to the onlookers, raised his hands and said: "Dear young and old gentlemen, now the Jia family's house has collapsed, and Jia Dongxu's life and death are unknown. I hope that everyone can lend a helping hand and save things." Xu was rescued from the rubble."

At this time, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui also arrived, and the two stewards also shouted for them to save people quickly.

The residents looked troubled.

In fact, they have already tried it just now.

The key is that the Jia family's house will collapse at any time, and no one dares to rush in.

Yi Zhonghai also had no idea.

Of course, it was impossible for him to save people personally.

Jia Dongxu is really caring for the elderly.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to be buried so early.

"Sir, a voluntary patrol team has been set up in our neighborhood. We can ask the patrol team for help." Jia Zhang's mouth evoked a hint of sinisterness.

Yi Zhonghai also heard about the patrol team from Aunt Ma.

In his opinion, the patrol team was created by Li Aiguo just for the limelight, and he couldn't count on it at all.

Now, it's just in time to use it.

If Li Aiguo didn't come forward to save people, he would be embarrassed in the courtyard.

If we were to save people, danger would easily occur in this situation.

He might be beaten to death.

Win-win!

A win-win situation means Yi Zhonghai wins twice.

Yi Zhonghai became energetic: "Shout Li Aiguo!"

Inside the Li family house.

The dim lights were soft, beautiful melodies flowed from the radio, and Chen Xueru danced on the bed wearing a [Crazy Horse Costume].

She has a little red lips on her pink face, and her expression is both eager to speak and yet shy. Her dancing posture is light and nimble, her body is as soft as clouds, her arms are as soft as boneless, and she dances step by step like a lotus.

The light beam flickers on and off, creating a full stage effect.

Li Aiguo swallowed.

The show is really exciting.

As the tune reached its climax, Chen Xueru suddenly had a whim and made a posture of leaning back and lowering her waist, with her legs standing upright, and she could see the beauty at a glance.

Li Aiguo couldn't bear it anymore.

The flashlight fell on the bed and he put on a real horse stance.

bang bang bang.

An untimely knock on the door broke the good time in the house.

He wanted to pretend not to hear, but Chen Xueru had turned into a shy little girl at this time, got into the bed, and covered her head with the quilt.

Li Aiguo couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows.

Can't these people wait another two hours?

Take two deep breaths.

Li Aiguo opened the door and saw Yi Zhonghai's old face coming out of the darkness, and became even more upset.

"Master, what happened? Knocking on the door this late at night?" "The Jia family's house collapsed! Jia Dongxu was crushed underneath, and his life or death is unknown!"

Yi Zhonghai urged: "You are the captain of the neighborhood voluntary patrol team. Please rescue Jia Dongxu quickly."

"Jia Dongxu is dead?"

"Life or death is unknown."

"pity."

Yi Zhonghai: "."

Li Aiguo went into the back room and spoke to Qin Huairu, then left the room with a flashlight.

Halfway down the road, he whistled.

Sharp whistles penetrated the rain curtain, and patrols came from all directions.

When Li Aiguo arrived at the middle courtyard, Zhang Gangzhu arrived with seven or eight team members.

Seeing the mess, everyone gasped.

Jia Zhang hid under the eaves and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Li Aiguo, you are the patrol captain, please rescue me, Jia Dongxu, quickly!"

Zhang Gangzhu and several young people rushed into the ruins to move bricks and tiles before they had time to think.

But was stopped by Li Aiguo.

"Brother Patriot, what are you doing? Although Jia Dongxu is not a thing, he is still a life." Zhang Gangzhu looked at Li Aiguo in disbelief.

He felt that Li Aiguo was not the kind of person who would not save someone even in the face of death.

Li Aiguo glanced around the ruins, picked up a brick and threw it at the wall that had not yet collapsed.

boom!

The wall that was crumbling suddenly collapsed.

The faces of Zhang Gangzhu and the young men all changed drastically, and they couldn't help but take a step back.

If they had rushed over just now, they would have been trapped inside.

Li Aiguo said slowly: "The first factor in rescuing people is to ensure your own safety! If you rush in rashly, not only will you not be able to rescue Jia Dongxu, you will also be in danger, and you may lose your life."

It is not uncommon for those who save others to die.

People's hearts are unpredictable, especially in later generations. Not every rescued person has good intentions.

Some unscrupulous rescuers even deny the fact of being rescued, leaving only endless sorrow and suffering to the families of the rescuers.

And Jia Zhang is just this kind of heartless.

Everyone knew it too. After looking at each other, they turned around and evacuated under the eaves.

It rained heavily, and in just a moment, Li Aiguo's hair and clothes were soaked.

She took the towel handed over by Liu Lan, wiped it hastily, and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work."

"Oh, big brother, who among us is following the other?" Liu Lan pursed her lips and smiled with a blushing face.

This little girl is getting more and more enthusiastic.

When Jia Zhang saw the patrol team withdrawing, she was extremely anxious.

He strode over and shouted at Li Aiguo: "Li Aiguo, aren't you saving people? Why are you back!"

At this time, she was extremely angry, her eyes were wide and round, and her hands were clenched into fists, as if she wanted to eat someone.

"Aunt Jia, it's not that you won't save people, it's too dangerous in the ruins now, accidents may happen." Zhang Gangzhu took a step forward and stopped Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang's triangular eyes were slanted, and he pointed at the members of the patrol team and cursed loudly.

"What you patrol team does is dangerous work, and when things happen, you all turned into fools."

"If you don't rescue Dongxu today, my old lady will fight you tooth and nail!"

"I think you want to watch my Dongxu die. Those of you who have been stabbed a thousand times have your consciences eaten by dogs."

"Snapped!"

Ms. Jia Zhang also sprayed feces all over her mouth and received a big slap on her face.

She covered her face and looked at Li Aiguo in disbelief: "You, you dare to hit me!"

Li Aiguo raised his palm.

Jia Zhang, who was still angry just now, screamed "Oh my god" in fright and hid behind Yi Zhonghai.

"Master, you have to take care of me. The patrol team didn't save people, and even beat the victims' families."

Yi Zhonghai has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and he admires the strength of his teammates in his heart.

He strode up, looked at Li Aiguo and said, "Li Aiguo, what are you going to do! Now that Jia Dongxu was smashed under the house, not only did you not save him, but you also beat Jia Zhang. Is this what your patrol team does?"

“The patrol’s job is to patrol the neighborhood and avoid accidents, not to get people killed.”

Li Aiguo pointed to the ruins of Jia's house and said: "Yi Zhonghai, you also know the situation in the ruins. Once people enter, not only will they not be able to save Jia Dongxu, they may also be injured."

Yi Zhonghai was speechless.

Li Aiguo turned around and pointed at the members of the patrol team and said: "They are also born and raised by their parents. They are old and young. Are you willing to watch them die in vain?!"

As soon as this was said, the onlookers nodded.

"Yes, it's raining so hard, and the house will collapse at any time. Anyone who goes in now is looking for death."

"Didn't Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang force people to die?"

"Jia Dongxu's life is life, but other people's lives are not life?"

The patrol team members also looked at Li Aiguo in a particularly different way.

Working with such a leader makes me feel at ease.

These days, there are many leaders who just push things from behind and don't care about the lives of their subordinates.

If something happens, he won't even get a certificate.

People are not afraid of sacrifice.

What I'm afraid of is meaningless sacrifice.

What this kid was best at was mobilizing the masses, and Yi Zhonghai felt a huge pain in his heart.

All the words he had prepared just now were of no use now.

Seeing that Li Aiguo had the upper hand, Yan Bugui rolled his eyes and came over to comfort him: "Old Yi, it is indeed dangerous in the ruins now. It is really inappropriate to let so many people take risks in order to save one person."

"Old Yan." Yi Zhonghai's heart hurt even more.

Liu Haizhong wanted to show off in front of Li Aiguo, so he took the opportunity to say: "Lao Yi, I know you feel sorry for Jia Dongxu, but you can't let others take risks.

Besides, Brother Li's patrol team is a voluntary patrol team and does not receive salary.

It is really inappropriate for people to risk their lives to save others. "

"You call him Brother Li"

Yi Zhonghai felt that Liu Haizhong had also rebelled, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Xu Damao was watching the excitement in the house, but he didn't come forward at all. He wished that Jia Dongxu would be beaten to death.

By then, maybe something indescribable will happen to Widow Xiao Qin.

Liu Lan pinched him hard: "Why don't you express your stance and let Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong steal the limelight!"

Xu Damao remembered Deputy Factory Director Li's visit to the Li family, and he suddenly came to his senses, and said in a strange voice at the top of his lungs: "Yi Zhonghai, are you afraid that if Jia Dongxu dies, no one will take care of you in old age, so you are so anxious! "

boom.

The crowd burst into laughter.

Yi Zhonghai felt his heart beating suddenly, and his vision went dark and he almost fainted.

The aunt who was already prepared quickly stretched out her hand to support him.

"Old man, are you having a heart attack again? Come on, let's go home and take medicine."

Yi Zhonghai knew he couldn't get any advantage, so he had to borrow Poxia's donkey and staggered away with the help of his aunt.

Jia Zhangshi also waited for someone to rescue Jia Dongxu.

Seeing this, he stamped his feet and shouted at the top of his lungs: "You don't care about our Dongxu family anymore?"

Yi Zhonghai just pretended not to hear and whispered to the eldest mother, "walk faster"

Yi Zhonghai is an extremely selfish person.

The reason why he takes care of Jia Dongxu as his son is because he wants Jia Dongxu to help him take care of him in his old age.

Now that Jia Dongxu was pressed under the house, he had probably burped, so he would not bother anymore.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai slip away, Mrs. Jia Zhang was so angry that she stamped her feet, but there was nothing she could do.

After all, she didn't want to risk rushing into the ruins to save people.

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong are the stewards, but they cannot sit idly by.

The two of them invited Li Aiguo aside and whispered: "Aiguo, now that the Jia family's house has collapsed and Jia Dongxu's life and death are unknown, it seems inappropriate for us to do nothing."

Li Aiguo looked up at the overwhelming rain and said in a deep voice:

"It's impossible to save anyone tonight. I'll go to Director Wang's house later and report the matter to the street office.

Early tomorrow morning, please ask the sub-district office to organize manpower to excavate the rubble.

See if we can rescue Jia Dongxu. "

"This is a good idea! The collapse of the house was not our courtyard's responsibility in the first place." Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong decisively passed the blame.

They didn't have any sympathy for Jia Dongxu, they just wanted not to implicate themselves.

This is also human nature.

Li Aiguo ignored them, returned home, changed into moccasin clothes, and rushed to Director Wang's house with a flashlight.

Late at night, Director Wang lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep, fearing that an accident would happen in the neighborhood.

Seeing Li Aiguo standing outside the door, her first words were: "Aiguo, has something happened?"

"The Jia family's house collapsed," Li Aiguo explained the situation.

"Don't rescue people right away, it might cause secondary harm." After listening to this, Director Wang said subconsciously: "You didn't bring anyone in."

"No way! If you want to open up the ruins, a few people are simply not enough. Besides, the scene is pitch dark and it's pouring rain. The danger is too great."

"That's good, that's good"

Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

But thinking about the Jia family's affairs, his heart rose to his throat again.

Under the dim light, Director Wang's face turned pale.

Li Aiguo stood up and poured her a cup of tea. He held the enamel pot in his arms and warmed his whole body through the heat in his palms. Director Wang's face looked good.

She managed to calm down, took a sip of tea from the tea cup, and said in a low voice: "Patriot, the collapse of the house is a big deal. If Jia Dongxu is killed again,"

Director Wang did not continue, but Li Aiguo understood.

The neighborhood office is responsible for the safety of the neighborhood.

The collapse of Jia's house was a major safety incident.

Even if the house collapses due to a sudden disaster, the subdistrict office will still be responsible for negligence.

"Aunt Wang, don't worry."

Li Aiguo opened the drawer, took out a pack of cigarettes, took out one, and put the remaining cigarettes into his pocket.

Those skillful movements made Director Wang dumbfounded: "You little monkey, you really regard this place as your own home."

"This is my home! You and your uncle don't have children, so I am your son." Li Aiguo puffed on his cigarette and smiled.

"."

After all this fun, Director Wang was in a much better mood. He took Li Aiguo's arm and asked, "Aiguo, what do you think about this matter?"

"No one wants to see a house collapse, but we can't take the blame for nothing." Li Aiguo said while smoking: "The Jia family's house was bombed once, and then Jia Zhang hired a plasterer."

The sound of wind and rain outside the window became louder and louder, and Li Aiguo's voice became lower and lower, almost inaudible.

Director Wang's eyes widened little by little.

Finally, he clapped his hands and said, "Patriot, it turns out that's what happened. It seems that this disaster was caused by the Jia family themselves."

"I guess some superiors can understand this problem, right?"

Li Aiguo emphasized his tone and said the words "some superiors" very clearly.

Director Wang instantly understood what Li Aiguo meant, nodded and said, "I will find two reasonable old leaders to report this matter."

As the director of the old sub-district office, Director Wang has been promoted from the grassroots level and has many acquaintances in the district.

Li Aiguo continued: "In addition, this disaster is not a bad thing."

“Can a disaster be a good thing?”

These words put Director Wang, the old director of the sub-district office, in trouble.

“Natural disasters are merciless, but humans are merciful!

If we focus our propaganda on disaster relief and rescue people, we should vigorously promote the command of the district leaders and the fearless spirit of the people in the neighborhood.

Does a bad thing become a good thing? "

The leaders of this era are still too honest and don't even understand the routine operations in their previous lives.

Li Aiguo had to speak more clearly.
