The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 367: Unity works together to rescue, but Yi Zhonghai has sinister thoughts

"Promote the spirit of fearlessness"

On this stormy night, Director Wang frowned after listening to Li Aiguo's suggestion.

Can you still do this?

Isn't this fraud?

Director Wang is an upright street office cadre who never engages in fraud.

She was going to object subconsciously.

But when I thought about it carefully, I discovered the difference between the two.

Promoting a spirit of fearlessness does not conflict with the suffering caused by disasters themselves.

It's just a different perspective on the problem.

When we look at things, we can divide them into two parts.

"Wonderful, this is such a wonderful idea. The leaders of the district don't want to see negative events happening in the neighborhood, so they will definitely support it."

Director Wang was very politically sensitive and nodded heavily: "Early tomorrow morning, I will report to the leaders of the district committee."

After seeing Li Aiguo off, Director Wang finally relaxed and sat on a chair to sip some tea.

Thinking of what happened just now, she felt a little lucky.

Wherever there are people, there will be strife.

The temple in the street is not big, but there are many monks.

Some of them still have backgrounds, and they have been watching eagerly from the side.

Fortunately, Li Aiguo reported the matter to her in the rain, giving her time to operate.

Li Aiguo came up with two more ideas, which made it possible for her to save the day.

Otherwise there will be big trouble this time.

It would be great if he really had such a son.

Director Wang put down his tea cup, turned around and went into the room to sleep.

She needed to be mentally prepared for the upcoming battle.

In this dark night.

The torrential rain was coming.

Every drop of rain is as heavy as a thousand pounds, hitting the ground and leaves with a deafening sound.

Li Aiguo straightened his raincoat clothes, held a flashlight and walked home with his head shrunken.

The human heart is more poisonous than ghosts.

This is a natural disaster, but with the propaganda of someone with good intentions, it will become a weapon to criticize the opponent.

Do they really care about the victims?

No.

They just do it to promote emotions and to demoralize their opponents.

As a time traveler, Li Aiguo has seen too much.

Naturally, we cannot tolerate the stigma attached to Director Wang of the sub-district office who is dedicated to serving the people.

Big things cannot be done for the time being, but some small things still have to be done.

Otherwise, you will become a time traveler.

When Li Aiguo returned home in the rain, it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening.

Chen Xueru had fallen asleep for a while and was squinting her eyes in a daze when she heard the noise and got up.

Seeing Li Aiguo soaking wet, Chen Xueru felt heartbroken.

He helped change out of his soaked clothes and pulled Li Aiguo into the bed.

She pressed her warm body against Li Aiguo's cold body.

After hugging and kissing me for a while, the red-faced Miss Chen rubbed me dishonestly.

Chen Xueru is a kind-hearted girl. She doesn't want to see Jia Dongxu, nor does she want to see the tragedy happen.

He said with some worry: "The rain came to the house just now, and the Jia family's house in the middle courtyard collapsed. Will Jia Dongxu be killed?"

"Probably not. Although Jia Dongxu is unlucky, he is very lucky."

Li Aiguo didn't care about this issue, but he was worried that Miss Chen wouldn't be able to sleep at night, so he said casually.

After a tiring day, he could no longer open his eyes.

"That's true. His house collapsed once before, but he was fine." Chen Xueru also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just woke up, Miss Chen is in high spirits.

She hugged the rough man tightly, and her little hands began to become dishonest.

Li Aiguo was a little tired and paralyzed.

"What's wrong, you're out of energy?"

Faced with Miss Chen's provocation, Li Aiguo naturally could not show weakness.

Miss Xiao Chen was given a severe lesson.

Miss Chen is the kind of person who is both good and fun-loving, and will surrender after a short while.

Li Aiguo took advantage of the victory and chased the chicken. It was not until she pitifully shouted, "Baba, I was wrong," that it was considered a nail and a wedge.

Getting off her body, Li Aiguo fell into a deep sleep listening to the sound of wind and rain.

The pale-faced Miss Chen stared at the snow-white ceiling dreamily, breathing heavily.

She understands what pain and happiness are.

zzzZZ

Li Aiguo had a happy night life, but Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were worried.

After the three stewards and Li Aiguo left, the residents dispersed in twos and threes, seeing that they could not save anyone.

Soon they were the only two people under the roof.

The two children, Hai Long and Haitao, were dozing off, and Liu Lan was about to go to bed. She ignored them and closed the door directly.

In the dark night, Mrs. Jia Zhang squatted in the cold wind, looking at the overwhelming rain, her head was spinning.

"Where will I sleep tonight?"

The chill in the autumn night has come down, and with the heavy rain outside, Qin Huairu's lips were a little blue from the cold.

She trembled and said, "Mom, how about we go to Yi Zhonghai's house and spend the night together."

"Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. Is it because you can't wait to do good things with that old guy after seeing Dongxu die?"

"Mom, what are you talking about? Uncle Yi is not that kind of person." Qin Huairu was about to cry but had no tears.

"I know who he is better than you. I remember back when I first married Lao Jia."

Jia Zhang was halfway through speaking when she suddenly realized something and swallowed the rest of her words back into her stomach.

She stood up and said, "Let's go, let's sleep at Lao Yi's house tonight."

Qin Huairu felt a little confused, but she still followed Jia Zhang obediently.

Yi Zhonghai had just finished taking medicine and was getting ready to go to bed.

Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang coming in with Qin Huairu, her heart skipped a beat.

"Is Dongxu gone?"

"You have no legs! If Yi Zhonghai dares to curse my Dongxu again, I will tear your mouth open."

After Jia Zhang vented her anger, she went straight into the house and lay down on the bed.

After a while, there was a sound of snoring in the back room.

Yi Zhonghai: "."

Aunt: "."

Qin Huairu: "."

The Yi family has only two rooms, one in the back room and one in the main room.

In the end, Yi Zhonghai made concessions.

He slept in the main room, and Auntie, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang were squeezed into the same bed, and they finally spent a difficult night.

The next day.

The heavy rain finally subsided a little.

Early in the morning.

The sub-district office contacted more than ten units including the sub-district police station, the Fire Department of the Beijing Public Security Bureau (formerly known as the Fire Brigade), and the security department of the steel rolling mill.

A difficult one, P Plus support.

Dozens of comrades wearing various uniforms came from all directions with hammers, shovels, shovels and pliers.

Together with the voluntary patrol team and the young people in the compound, a huge disaster relief team was formed.

The person in charge of the rescue work was Xiao Zhijun, deputy director of the Municipal Fire Department.

He is a veteran firefighter.

Before liberation, he served as the captain of the fire brigade. After liberation, he was appointed deputy director because of his advanced thinking.

Jia Zhang had been squatting in front of the ruins for a long time. When she saw Xiao Zhijun wearing a uniform with epaulettes, she recognized him as a leader.

He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Leader, I want to sue that thief Li Aiguo!

He watched helplessly as my son was buried in the rubble and stopped everyone from trying to rescue him.

He wanted to kill my son! "

"Catch him quickly."

Just as the rescue was about to begin, Jia Zhang suddenly jumped out, and the rescue team members at the scene stopped.

Yi Zhonghai was so anxious that his head was sweating: "Sister-in-law, we can wait until later to discuss this matter. It's more important for us to save people first."

"No, Li Aiguo will definitely cause trouble!"

Xiao Zhijun was arranging rescue work. When he heard the noise, he stepped forward and asked for details.

Mrs. Jia Zhang recounted what happened last night in an exaggerated manner.

Zhang Gangzhu was frightened after hearing this and wanted to step forward to defend Li Aiguo, but he was also a little afraid of Xiao Zhijun's uniform.

"Leader, Li Aiguo just wants to harm people, please take him away quickly." After Jia Zhang said this, her heart was filled with hope. Li Aiguo, your grandson is dead.

Dongxu, your death was not in vain after all.

Xiao Zhijun glanced at the collapsed house, turned around and shouted: "Who is Li Aiguo?"

Li Aiguo came back late because he sent Chen Xueru to the Daqianmen Subdistrict Office, and had just entered Crescent Gate at this time.

Hearing the shout, he strode over: "Hello, comrade, I am Li Aiguo, captain of the Siheyuan neighborhood voluntary patrol team, and the train driver at the Daqianmen locomotive depot."

His tall figure looked even bigger in the drizzle, like a solid barrier blocking all wind and rain.

He has clear contours, and his skin has been tempered by wind and sand, becoming rough and strong. Coupled with the messy beard on his chin, he is an out-and-out tough guy.

The fire brigade is also a disciplinary force, and Xiao Zhijun can't help but feel fond of Li Aiguo.

He held his hand firmly and said, "Comrade Patriot, you did a great job! You avoided a second accident."

"If you want to save others, you must first save yourself." Li Aiguo said, puffing up his chest.

If you want to save others, you must first save yourself. Xiao Zhijun thought for a moment and gave a thumbs up: "This is indeed the truth."

"It seems that you also have unique insights into disaster relief. Let's see how to deal with the scene today."

"I'm just doing my own thing, how can I be as professional as you, brother?"

The two chatted warmly and walked to the ruins to plan the rescue work.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was dumbfounded: "We agreed to arrest people, but why did they become brothers?"

"Oh, sister-in-law, the key issue now is to rescue Dongxu quickly."

"No, Li Aiguo must be dealt with."

"Sister-in-law, listen to me."

Seeing Jia Zhang's reluctance, Yi Zhonghai pulled her aside and muttered something in a low voice.

"I have contacted Deputy Director Ma of the sub-district office through the deaf old lady. If such a big thing happens this time, the superiors will definitely investigate strictly. Then we will take down Director Wang and Li Aiguo at once!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Jia Zhang's eyes lit up: "That's right, Director Wang is not a good guy either. He always looks towards Li Aiguo in everything."

The two of them were preparing to cause trouble behind the scenes. Li Aiguo and Xiao Zhijun had already discussed the rescue plan in detail.

"I sent people to cut the wires in Jia's house last night."

"Our purpose this time is to save people, and the goal needs to be clear."

"Because it will still be raining, we don't have to worry about dust. What we need to consider now is the secondary collapse." "So, we should clean out the bricks and tiles first, step by step, and don't rush."

"."

As a time traveler, Li Aiguo once accompanied the rescue team to support Wenchuan.

I have personally rescued more than a dozen people from the rubble, and I have a good understanding of the details that should be paid attention to during the rescue process.

Those details are all paid for with blood.

Xiao Zhijun is knowledgeable and instantly understood the value of these details.

"Comrade Patriot, please speak slowly while I write these down."

Xiao Zhijun took out the pen from his jacket pocket and recorded the details in his notebook.

Li Aiguo felt that he was being prostituted for nothing, and he was still willing to do so.

After Xiao Zhijun wrote down the details in his notebook, he thanked Li Aiguo, then turned around and shouted: "Start the rescue!"

The rescuers acted instantly, carrying bricks and tiles out of the rubble with their hands and shoulders, and stacking them in the open space next to them.

Because the details of the rescue were followed, the entire rescue process was extremely slow. It was not until noon that more than half of the rescue was cleared.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was stamping her feet anxiously beside her, but she didn't dare to rush forward again.

Because when she made trouble just now, she was severely punished by Xiao Zhijun.

"Comrades, thank you for your hard work. Let's drink some ginger soup to warm your stomach." At this time, Aunt Liu and He Yuyu came over carrying a stainless steel pot.

Xiao Zhijun went up to take it: "Auntie, thank you very much."

"Why are you so polite? You are working so hard to save people. This is what we people should do." Aunt Liu grinned and looked at the rescue team members. She seemed to see the two brothers Tianquan and Diquan.

Yi Zhonghai rolled his eyes when he saw this situation, walked forward and said with a smile: "Boss Xiao, I will cook more food at noon, and everyone will come home to eat?"

"No, someone from the street office will bring food." Xiao Zhijun declined with a smile.

Of course Yi Zhonghai knew this.

That's why he behaves so generously.

Hi, we are working hard again.

noon.

Comrades from the sub-district office, led by Director Wang, came to deliver meals to the comrades of the rescue team.

Comrades participating in the rescue, whether they are from the rescue team or nearby residents, can come together to have a meal.

Yan Bugui led the people in the courtyard to bring clean dishes and chopsticks.

It was raining heavily outside.

The guys filled up the food and squatted under the eaves, chatting while eating.

The laughter added a bit of joy to the tense rescue atmosphere.

Zhang Gangzhu put down his shovel and called Li Aiguo: "Brother Aiguo, shall we eat first?"

"Okay."

Lifting up his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Li Aiguo stacked the bricks and went to the sink to wash his hands.

He Yuyu had already lined up to prepare meals, moved a bench from the house, and called Li Aiguo over.

The rice is white rice and the side dish is boiled cabbage. This was the most common combination of big pot rice in that era.

The canteen chef usually stir-fries the cabbage with lard, digs in a little oil with a spatula, and then puts the chopped cabbage, cabbage and leaves into a large iron pot and stir-fries.

The recipe is simple, but the taste is very good. As soon as he took the enamel bowl, Li Aiguo could smell the fragrant food.

After taking a few bites, Li Aiguo's eyes widened immediately. It smells so good.

No one seems to think lard is unhealthy these days.

If someone thinks so, he can donate all the lard at home, and Li Patriotic Congress will thank him.

Everyone is struggling for a mouthful of food and a piece of clothing, but you think that eating lard is unhealthy and purely sinful.

Isn’t this standard petty bourgeoisie thinking?

Li Aiguo thinks that the sanitary oil at home should be replaced by lard.

The sanitary oil seems to be made from cottonseed, which is said to kill sperm.

While we were enjoying our meal, there was a noise in the distance.

"Auntie, it seems that you are not a member of the rescue team and have not participated in the rescue. How can you eat here?"

The aunt from the rescue team who was in charge of cooking rice banged her spoon and glared at Jia Zhang.

Not to be outdone, Jia Zhang puffed out her chest and said, "I am a disaster victim."

The aunt on the rescue team deliberately shouted loudly, "Ah, your son is buried in the rubble, why don't you join the rescue? Why are you lazy?"

Jia Zhang opened her eyes wide and said, "Why do you slander me?"

"Slander, you just moved a brick in one morning!"

Jia Zhang's face turned red, veins appeared on her forehead, and she argued: "Resting cannot be regarded as laziness. Rest! Can the disaster-stricken people be regarded as laziness if they rest?"

Then there are more incomprehensible words, such as "she is because she is anxious", and "she is because she did not sleep well last night" and so on.

The air under the eaves is filled with joy.

Qin Huairu stood nearby, feeling a little feverish in her face.

He walked over to persuade Jia Zhang: "Mom, Dongxu is still buried underneath, why are you not worried?"

"Daughter-in-law, are you really not in a hurry?"

Jia Zhang held the rice bowl and narrowed her eyes slightly: "As long as we don't seem to care, these people will work harder to save Dongxu.

They are all experts, much better than us. "

As she spoke, she emphasized her tone:

“Even if I cry to death now, Dongxu can’t save me.

Back then, my second uncle went to the city to sell grain and was killed by the Japanese.

When the news came back, my second grandma neither cried nor made a fuss, and just ate the bowl of leftovers left for the second uncle.

No one understands the second grandma's indifference, but I agree with her.

Because the second mistress was about to get up and go to the capital to collect the body of the second uncle.

This trip will take three to five days, and the bowl of leftover rice will definitely go rancid by then.

That's a bowl of Erhe noodles. "

Hearing this, Qin Huairu was stunned in the autumn wind.

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether Jia Zhang was heartless or calculated.

Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office asked Xiao Zhijun about the situation. Seeing the mess, he had to wave to the rescue team aunt: "Sister Zhao, give her a meal."

When Jia Zhang tasted the fragrant rice, she was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.

He Yuyu gnawed the steamed buns depressedly and whispered: "Jia Zhang took advantage of the public family again."

Students these days are not squeamish at all. They have to go to school even if it rains heavily, so He Yuyu did not participate in the rescue this morning.

The little girl was a little greedy when she smelled the fragrant food, but she didn't lick her face for food. She just picked at Li Aiguo's enamel bowl with her chopsticks.

This girl also specializes in picking up pieces of meat.

Li Aiguo looked at the few remaining pieces of cabbage: "."

"Patriot, let's eat!" At this time, Director Wang stood not far away and greeted him.

Li Aiguo saw a lesbian wearing a gray tunic suit standing next to her, and there might be something urgent.

So he handed the rice bowl to He Yuyu and said angrily: "It's all for you."

"Thank you, brother." He Yuyu took the bowl and chopsticks, looked at the remaining rice, and said happily.

Li Aiguo: "."

Director Wang of the sub-district office does have important matters.

After pulling Li Aiguo under the roof of Nan Yi's house, he stopped and introduced the two of them.

"This is Director Wang Tingting from the District Publicity Department, who is responsible for this publicity work."

"This is Li Aiguo, a resident of the compound."

advertising

Li Aiguo understood instantly.

It seems that Director Wang has already communicated with the leaders in the district.

Officer Wang looked at Li Aiguo and said, "Comrade Aiguo, Sister Wang has already introduced your ideas to me on the way."

Sister Wang? Li Aiguo looked at Director Wang.

Director Wang chuckled: "I forgot to introduce you, Wang Tingting is my cousin."

Director Wang is only in his twenties, and Director Wang is at least forty years old. There is at least a twenty-year age difference between the two. It is really amazing that they are cousins, Director Wang's grandmother.

Director Wang can directly praise outstanding young people, and Li Aiguo looks average. Wang Tingting is also sizing up Li Aiguo in a subtle way.

"Comrade Patriot, Sister Wang mentioned that you have some ideas about publicity work, so this time I want to hear your opinions on how to publicize this disaster relief event."

Wang Tingting is a regular high school student. Last year she was assigned to the district committee propaganda office. She was determined to achieve results and was already working.

Seeing that Li Aiguo didn't answer, Director Wang nodded at him: "Aiguo, Tingting is a member of our family. If you have anything to say, you can just say it."

Li Aiguo then said slowly: "To publicize disaster relief and turn bad things into good things, we must focus on the leaders' foresight and concern for the comfort of the masses.

Then it is emphasized that the rescue team members are not afraid of hardships and dangers, and if they rescue people, they can also make a big mark. "

Wang Tingting nodded frequently and couldn't wait to ask: "What if I can't be saved?"

"Then just brush it off."

Li Aiguo looked up at the ruins and nodded seriously.

Wang Tingting instantly realized the feasibility of Li Aiguo's publicity plan. She took paper and pen and was about to conduct an on-site interview.

Li Aiguo continued: "It would be better if we could get a camera and take some disaster relief photos. Dry words are far less convincing than pictures."

"I have an old friend who is the manager of a photo studio and I can borrow it."

Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office’s eyes lit up.

Wang Tingting also became energetic. She felt that it was a moderate achievement that the matter was done well.

Li Aiguo had no other ideas, but he couldn't let those villains succeed.

Yi Zhonghai hid at Yueyue's door and kept staring here with a gloomy expression on his face.

He has contacted Deputy Director Ma of the sub-district office.

When the other party learned that a collapse occurred in the courtyard and the victim was Jia Zhang, he was immediately overjoyed.

Said he would make good use of this matter.

Now we just have to look at the final rescue result.

If Jia Dongxu is rescued, the street office will be guilty of negligence.

If they cannot be rescued, the street office will ignore the lives of the people.

No matter what kind of situation it is, as long as a serious fire is lit, the life of Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office will come to an end.

"Old Wang, we are old friends. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be so harsh. Who made you get closer and closer to that boy Li Aiguo!"

There was a hint of sinisterness in the corner of Yi Zhonghai's mouth, and he returned to the house with his hands behind his back.

He also had to take medicine for a heart attack.

After a morning of running-in, the rescue progress in the afternoon was significantly accelerated.

Coupled with the dark clouds in the sky, Liu Haizhong heard from the radio that the second heavy rain was coming, so all the residents of the courtyard joined in the rescue.

Nanyi, Xu Damao and seven or eight workers all took leave to participate in the rescue.

It is not a joke that natural disasters have no mercy.

Bricks were pulled out of the ruins with bare hands, beams were carried out, and the ruins were cleared bit by bit.

The guys were covered in mud and were digging desperately in the storm. Wang Tingting was also moved and took the initiative to join the rescue.

Sudden.

A faint voice came from the corner of the ruins: "Mom, I'm so hungry."

"Jia Dongxu, it's Jia Dongxu!" Nan Yi shouted excitedly: "Jia Dongxu is still alive!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang was squatting under the eaves watching the excitement. She took an umbrella and ran over: "My son Dongxu, are you still alive?"

"Mom, I'm so hungry. Why did you push me when you ran away last night?"

"."

Jia Zhang's face froze, and she turned around and looked at Captain Xiao Zhijun in embarrassment: "Leader, my son was frightened and I have to trouble you to rescue him quickly."
