The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 371 Li Aiguo convinces people with reason

Fellow villagers sent life-saving food.

The tense atmosphere in the carriage suddenly relaxed.

Baskets of food were brought onto the train by the villagers and distributed to the passengers by the conductors.

The car was suddenly filled with the delicious aroma of food.

Ma Xiaojun, who had just received a violent beating, was curled up in his seat and watching the lady opposite him chewing corn cobs, his Adam's apple trembling with greed.

The loser Sande hurriedly got the black cornstarch from the flight attendant and brought it to Ma Xiaojun.

"Brother Jun, please rest your stomach first. When we get to the capital, we will go to Quanjude to eat roast duck."

Ma Xiaojun's stomach growled after being hungry all day.

There are two types of steamed buns in this era, yellow steamed buns are made with corn flour, and black steamed buns are made with sweet potato flour.

The black wotou are very porcelain, even if you bite them with your teeth, you can only leave a scratch on the head.

When people eat, they twist off some and put it in their mouths. After it melts, they hold their necks and swallow it.

Ma Xiaojun had never eaten anything like this before. After getting the Hei Wo Wo Tou, he couldn't wait to open his mouth.

"Ouch"

As the wound at the corner of his mouth exploded, Ma Xiaojun was so painful that his tears almost fell.

"boom!"

Ma Xiaojun threw Hei Wo Wo Tou hard on his little brother's face, pointed at San De's nose and cursed: "Did you laugh at me on purpose?"

"No, Brother Jun." San De didn't expect that the flattery would end up patting Ma's leg instead.

"You still said no!"

Ma Xiaojun had a bad temper. He stood up and punched Sande twice.

San De's head was beaten so hard that he didn't dare to say anything. He could only squat in the corridor of the carriage with his head covered.

None of them saw the black wotou being picked up by a villager, blowing off the dust, and carefully putting it into a basket. This was food for survival!

The young men who were traveling with him hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ma Xiaojun: "Brother Jun, San Dezi didn't do it on purpose. They are all brothers. Please spare him this time."

"Yes, this is all caused by the female train driver."

When he mentioned the female train driver, Ma Xiaojun's anger that had just calmed down rose again. He gritted his teeth and said with a ferocious look:

"Whoever dares to offend our food supply! I'll look for dad when I get off the bus.

Let dad go to the maintenance section in person and peel off the skin of that shrew. "

The young people looked happy.

Ma Xiaojun's father is the person in charge of the grain station in Beijing District.

On weekdays, even the district leaders have to give him some face.

In order to make up for his mistake, Sande, who had been beaten just now, rolled his eyes and lowered his voice and said:

"Brother Jun, those mud-legged guys are delivering food to the dining car right now. How about I sneak in and get you a chicken leg?"

At the mention of the fragrant chicken legs, Ma Xiaojun suddenly became energetic and patted San Dezi on the shoulder with great satisfaction.

"Sandoku, you'd better be smart and be smart, I'm starving to death."

"Brother, take a look!"

Sandoko walked through the crowded carriage to the dining car.

Just when Ma Xiaojun was thinking about eating Zhang Dahua, Zhang Dahua also ate his beloved steamed buns.

I ate two steamed buns in one go and drank two large gourds of water. I was only half full.

Zhang Dahua stretched his head outside and drank a few sips of the autumn wind. Only then did Zhang Dahua stop being hungry.

She squatted in the locomotive, held her chin up and looked at the railway tracks in the distance, muttering in her mouth: "I don't know when the rescue train will arrive."

Captain Zhou was also worried about this matter.

Although there are life-saving food sent by the villagers, just waiting is not an option.

The passengers who had eaten and drank enough were now worried.

If rescue was delayed, they would have to spend the night in the wilderness tonight.

There is no heating on the train, and the temperature is so low at night that some of them will freeze to death.

Oh oh oh!

A loud whistle sounded in the distance.

After the whistle penetrated the rain curtain, it seemed weak and feeble, but it sounded like a yellow bell to the passengers.

Several young people jumped off the train in the heavy rain and looked into the distance.

Two bright lights came quickly in the darkness.

"Train, the train is coming! The train to save me is coming!"

The passengers in the carriage suddenly became excited.

"I knew the comrades in the locomotive depot would not give up on us."

"Yes, yes, it is the people's railway now, which is different from before liberation."

"Baby, we can go back soon!"

Looking at the excited passengers, Ma Xiaojun snorted, narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to think about how to tell his second uncle about this when he returned to the capital.

At this time, it is windy and rainy, and driving visibility may be blocked.

After hearing the whistle, Commander Zhou immediately jumped out of the train with the operating commander.

The two marched four to five hundred meters in the wind and rain, stood in front of the railway track, wrapped a small red flag in a flashlight, and waved it desperately.

The rescue train was driven by Cao Wenzhi, who was in the front car.

Li Aiguo, who was inside the Patriot locomotive, was very relaxed at this time.

While smoking a cigarette, he chatted with Liu Qingsong and several rescue team members.

The train rescue team of this era had just been established and the equipment was very crude.

There are no professional lifting trucks, tool trucks, camping trucks, conference trucks, dining trucks and generator trucks.

Not even professional orange firefighting uniforms.

Every time a mission goes out, personnel and equipment have to be temporarily pieced together from various workshops.

Li Aiguo was stunned. It was really difficult to be responsible for the train rescue work on five lines around Beijing, including the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, the Beijing-Hankou Railway, and the Beijing-Shenyang Railway, in such a crude environment.

Sometimes cranes cannot be seconded, and when rescuing the train, manpower is used to pull the overturned train up.

Liu Qingsong also seemed particularly excited, because although Li Aiguo seemed to be an outsider in rescue, he could always hit on the key technical issues of rescue.

Especially in the management of the rescue team, this little driver has unique insights.

"The rescue team must always be ready to dispatch. As soon as the train is dispatched, everyone on the train is a "conductor" and everyone is a "combatant."

Every now and then, emergency rescue drills are conducted for all personnel.

At the same time, we need to go deep into the passenger transport workshop, freight workshop, and maintenance workshop to understand the technical details of each train. "

Liu Qingsong wrote these contents down in a small book with a pen.

These are valuable experiences for the rescue team to become more formal in the future.

at this time.

puff puff

Accompanied by a violent exhaust sound, the train slowly stopped.

The rescue team members, who had been laughing leisurely just now, immediately turned serious.

They are both amateur and professional.

As soon as the train stopped, I immediately opened the side door, jumped out of the car and rushed into the wind and rain.

"Driver Li, wait here, wait until we take care of things there, and then we will notify you to drive." Liu Qingsong put the small notebook into his underwear pocket, stood up and said to Li Aiguo.

As a train driver, Li Aiguo did not need to leave the train to perform tasks during the rescue.

It is not Li's patriotic character to just stand by and watch the suffering of our comrades.

"I designed the derailer. You still have to keep an eye on it when installing it."

Li Aiguo also followed Liu Qingsong off the train.

The rain mixed with the cool autumn air came quickly, and it felt a bit like being hit by a cold fist.

The sound of the raging rain seemed to be roaring in Li Aiguo's ears, but it was like a fire was burning in his heart.

He tightened the collar of his labor protection raincoat and strode into the wind and rain.

at this time.

Duan Chang Xing and Cao Wenzhi also walked off the [No. 81] locomotive in front.

Seeing Li Aiguo approaching, Duan Chang Xing said to Cao Wenzhi: "Old Cao, I guessed it right. You, a good apprentice, will definitely not lie down and sleep on the train."

Cao Wenzhi took out a bag of large Qianmen from his pocket and slapped it in Duan Chang Xing's hand: "You win."

When Duan Chang Xing got the big front door, he was even more excited than getting the Great China, and he grinned.

Seeing two old comrades, who together were a hundred years old, bet like children, Li Aiguo felt a sigh of relief in his heart.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the pure working environment in the locomotive depot that subordinates and superiors can maintain such an innocent relationship.

At this time, Captain Zhou of train 322 rushed over with the driver Master Gao and the assistant driver Zhang Dahua.

Seeing that there was no lifting equipment on the rescue train, Captain Zhou frowned cryptically.

However, as a train conductor, it was not convenient for him to intervene in the rescue work, so he indirectly said:

"Captain Duan, aren't we going to rescue the train today?"

Duan Chang Xing: "Xiao Zhou, this time we are adopting Comrade Li Aiguo's rescue plan, so we don't need those gadgets."

As he spoke, Duan Chang Xing pointed at Li Aiguo.

Captain Zhou often heard this name from Zhang Dahua, but he was always driving outside and had no chance to meet him.

She looked over curiously, feeling that this person was like that.

He's just taller, handsomer, and burly, but there's nothing special about him.

Why do you know how to drive a train?

Also proficient in rescue?

It's just that the rescue plan was decided in Duan, and Captain Zhou had no way to intervene.

"Captain Duan, how do you need our train crew 322 to cooperate."

"Patriot, Lao Liu, you two in charge come and explain to Captain Zhou."

"okay!"

Braving the rain and running to Captain Zhou, Li Aiguo stretched out his hand and shook her hand.

"Captain Zhou, because the power of the rescue train is limited, in order to successfully pull the train out, you need to ask all the passengers on the train to get off."

"This is easy to handle. The passengers are anxious to go home and will definitely cooperate. I will inform them now,"

Captain Zhou wiped the water off his raincoat and hat, shrank his neck, turned and ran into the carriage.

Only then did Li Aiguo notice that at the rescue scene, even the comrades who could take shelter from the rain did not seek cover.

No one held an umbrella, just standing there in the storm.

This behavior may seem stupid, but it is actually related to the key to the success or failure of the rescue - fearless spirit.

Only when people are full of courage can they complete impossible tasks in difficult and dangerous circumstances.

Captain Zhou took the flight attendants one by one to explain to the passengers.

Liu Qingsong and Duan Chang Xing led their comrades from the public works workshop to build temporary railway tracks.

In the storm, roars, rapid footsteps, and the sound of metal collisions were intertwined, and then dark gray figures became busy one after another.

The rescue was carried out in an orderly manner.

Li Aiguo took Zhang Dahua to the 322 locomotive to check the derailment situation.

The situation at the scene was the same as Zhang Dahua described.

Only the front part of the car derailed, and both wheels were on the same side.

Li Aiguo knelt down, picked up a crushed sleeper, and said with a smile: "Master Gao, it's really thanks to your timely braking this time, otherwise the train would have had to rush out."

There is a ditch two hundred meters away from the railway track. If the train rushes into the ditch, the consequences can be imagined.

Master Gao had heard about Li Aiguo for a long time, and said with a smile: "Li Dach, thanks to the co-driver, Comrade Zhang Dahua, for sending the signal in time."

Zhang Dahua puffed out his chest: "Yes, it's all my credit."

Li Aiguo: "."

Only then did Li Aiguo have time to look at Zhang Dahua.

Li Aiguo couldn't help but let out a "squeak" as his eyes slid over Zhang Dahua.

"Dahua, you seem to have lost a lot of weight?" Zhang Dahua lowered his head and looked at his shriveled belly, and said somewhat depressedly: "In our school, the cafeteria is full and we can open the car.

On train 322, you need to buy a meal ticket to eat.”

Li Aiguo remained silent.

He remembered that when Zhang Dahua graduated and left school, the canteen director of the railway school bought a bunch of firecrackers and crackled them at the school gate.

Someone asked him why he was so happy? The director of the cafeteria, who has lost several pounds in three years, said: "I no longer have to go hungry every day."

Since then, Zhang Dahua has become a legend in the railway technical school.

Every time new students enter school, they always hear from their seniors that in Class 2, Grade , there was a girl who almost brought down the cafeteria.

With sympathy for the 322 crew, Li Aiguo patted Master Gao on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, Lao Gao."

Master Gao couldn't laugh or cry: "Comrade Dahua has no other shortcomings except eating more."

Zhang Dahua: "."

Site investigation completed.

Li Aiguo directed the rescue team to place the derailer under both bogies of the wheel at the same time.

Road construction workers in the public works section lay ballast in the direction of the line where the bogies run.

Comrades from the rescue team connected the locomotive of train 322 with five wire ropes to the large hook at the bottom of the rescue train.

By the time all this was done, the temporary tracks had been laid and connected to the old railway tracks.

Passengers on the train also got off the station one after another and stood in the heavy rain after being explained by the crew members of the 322 package crew.

Duan Chang Xing looked at Li Aiguo and was about to issue the order to board the train for rescue. A flight attendant stood at the door of Car No. 322 of Train 2 and shouted: "Captain, there are five passengers in Car No. 2 who are not getting off."

Captain Zhou's heart skipped a beat.

Duan Chang Xing frowned, looked at Captain Zhou and said, "Xiao Zhou, what is going on?"

"The man's name is Ma Xiaojun, he seems to be the leader of the grain station. Because of the food issue, he had a conflict with our crew, and later Comrade Zhang Dahua..."

Captain Zhou originally planned to communicate this matter with Duan Chang Xing privately in order to plead for Zhang Dahua.

At this point, there was no choice but to tell the story of the conflict that happened on the train.

After listening to this, Duan Chang Xing looked a little angry: "Even if you have any objections to our locomotive maintenance section, you need to go back to the capital to resolve them. What's going on now that you're occupying the bunk and affecting the rescue?"

And that Zhang Dahua, how could he beat up passengers!

If this spreads out, what will the common people think of our locomotive depot? "

During the storm, rainwater flowed down Xing Duanchang's cheeks. His dark face was stained with drops of rainwater, which made him look even more terrifying.

Captain Zhou wanted to intercede for Zhang Dahua at this time, but was frightened back when the words came to his lips.

Li Aiguo always felt that Zhang Dahua was depressed today, but now he understands the root cause.

He walked forward and said with a smile: "Commander Duan, please leave this matter to me, right?"

"You?" Duan Chang Xing was stunned for a moment.

Li Aiguo said: "You know, in our locomotive depot, no one knows how to do mass ideological work better than me."

Looking at Li Aiguo who transformed into an understanding king, how could Duan Chang Xing not know what he was thinking.

This train driver always protects his shortcomings, not to mention Zhang Dahua is his old classmate.

"That's okay, but you have to pay attention to your work attitude."

"You can rest assured that our passengers will be satisfied."

After Li Aiguo finished speaking, he called Zhang Dahua aside, asked about the ins and outs of the matter, and then brought two policemen to Car No. 2.

The passengers who were standing below saw the people from the locomotive depot coming, and they all followed and got on the bus.

On the one hand, it is to avoid rain.

On the other hand, it is eating melon.

In these difficult times, is there anything more joyful than eating melon?

The carriage was suddenly filled with people.

All the ladies and aunts stretched out their heads, and a few young people even climbed onto the luggage rack, only to be pulled down again by the police.

Just kidding, tickets are not sold on the train.

Ma Xiaojun was lying flat on the bunk. When he heard the footsteps, he raised his eyelids slightly.

When he saw Li Aiguo coming with someone, he folded his arms and snorted coldly, turned his head away, and pretended to be sleeping.

But the next moment, he couldn't sleep.

Li Aiguo secretly looked at Ma Xiaojun. He had a sinister look on his face and was arrogant. He didn't look like a good guy.

"Hold it down." Li Aiguo pointed at Ma Xiaojun and said.

When Ma Xiaojun saw so many people coming, he was still waiting to talk about his grievances.

Seeing that Li Aiguo was not playing his cards according to common sense, he immediately got up from the bunk and rolled up his sleeves. Seeing Li Aiguo's burly body, he pushed down his sleeves angrily.

Ma Xiaojun rolled his eyes at Li Aiguo: "Who are you? You."

“I am the train driver and the deputy commander-in-chief of this rescue mission.

Comrade, the rescue is about to begin. It is not only dangerous for you to lie in the carriage, but it will also affect the rescue.

For the safety of the train and your own safety, please get off the train immediately. "Li Aiguo said sonorously and forcefully.

Ma Xiaojun had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, pointing it at his face.

"Everyone, take a look. The driver on the train beat me like this, and now he wants to kick me off the train. Is there any justice in it?"

It’s just that the old passengers in Car No. 2 knew the ins and outs of the matter.

The passengers in other carriages did not know the truth of the matter and suddenly started making noises.

"What, the train driver actually hit someone?"

“Hasn’t the railway always promoted itself as a people’s railway?”

"It's harmful. That's a lie. Let's just listen to it. The crows in the world are as black as before liberation."

Seeing the support of the masses, Ma Xiaojun became even more arrogant.

He sat down on the small table, folded his arms, and looked sideways at Li Aiguo. His left leg was crossed on his right leg, and his toes were shaking.

"I won't give you a hard time today either."

"As long as that female driver who looks like Zhu Bajie and her second aunt comes to kowtow to apologize to me and call me Brother Jun, I will be wrong."

"I'll get off the bus with you today."

His attitude was as arrogant as ever, and his face was annoying to look at.

The two policemen behind him couldn't help it anymore and stepped forward to deal with Ma Xiaojun, but were stopped by Li Aiguo.

"Don't worry, we have to convince people with reason."

The two police officers woke up when they saw the disdainful looks of the onlookers.

The reputation of the railway sector before liberation was not good.

After liberation, the world changed, and the railways became the iron eggs of the people.

But it’s hard to change people’s minds.

After two years of hard work by all the railway staff, we have changed people's views and won the trust of the people.

If he acted impulsively this time, he would definitely discredit the railway people.

Li Aiguo walked forward slowly.

Tall and strong, he looked down at the chicken-like Ma Xiaojun with majestic and cold eyes.

Ma Xiaojun saw that he was angry, but he was not afraid at all. He said with a playful smile: "Hey, don't be angry. I'm joking with you, why can't you help but laugh."

"Am I really familiar with you? How dare you sit on a small table and destroy railway property, I'm going to piss you off!" Li Aiguo found a random excuse and slapped him in the face with a rounded hand.

Ma Xiaojun was staggered and fell off the table. Stars appeared in his eyes and his head was buzzing.

He shook his head, covered his face and looked at Li Aiguo depressedly: "Don't you want to convince people with reason?"

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. It's all because you look so annoying."

Ma Xiaojun: "."

Police officer: "."

passenger:"."

Rain outside the car window: "."

Ma Xiaojun's face turned red with anger, he struggled to stand up, and glared at Li Aiguo coldly with resentment.

He regretted that he had met these rough guys on the railway.

Even if he regained his position afterwards, he received two beatings in vain.

Li Aiguo relieved his anger and felt much better now. He pointed at Ma Xiaojun: "Police Officer Zhang, Officer Wang, please arrest this guy!"

"Hey, why! I was beaten for no reason, and I had to be arrested. You guys on the railway can't be unreasonable!" Ma Xiaojun covered his face, with a cry in his voice, like a child who has not grown up. .

The onlookers also frowned, this train driver went too far.

"Okay, I will tell you some truth today." Li Aiguo patted the dust on his seat, sat down slowly, and leaned in a tactical posture.

He took out a cigarette, took out a match and lit it. After taking a few puffs, he suddenly asked: "Did you cause trouble and wanted to share the food in the dining car?"

"That's right, it was this man who did it, but did I do something wrong?" Ma Xiaojun was immediately relieved. He thought this guy was capable of something, that's all?

Li Aiguo said calmly: "Those grains are reserved for the elderly and pregnant women. You are disrupting the normal order of the railway by making trouble."

Ma Xiaojun's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he felt like someone had slapped a big hat on his forehead.

Before he could quibble, Li Aiguo continued: "Now that you are deliberately obstructing the rescue, do you want to put thousands of passengers in danger?

You must know that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and a major flood may occur at any time. "

As soon as these words came out.

The faces of the passengers who had just looked at Ma Xiaojun with pity suddenly changed.

"Yes, I think this product is not a good thing. The flight attendants should distribute the food to the elderly and pregnant women. That is what they should do."

"Whose family doesn't have an elderly person or a child?"

"He just wants to cause destruction on purpose!"

Ma Xiaojun was dumbfounded. He just vented his anger, but now it turned into sabotage.

How dare he admit this? He shook his head hastily: "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

"You little brat, you think you're doing something very smart."

Li Aiguo sneered, put his hand into his trouser pocket, took out a chicken leg and placed it on the table.

He turned back to the chef in charge of the dining car and said, "Man, look, are these chicken legs from our dining car?"

The chef picked up the half-eaten chicken leg and nodded heavily: "When I braised the chicken leg, I used my family's ancestral secret recipe. It is the only one in the whole capital. You can't go wrong."

"How dare you say you're not causing sabotage when you go to a food truck to steal chicken legs?"

Li Aiguo secretly gave an appreciative look to the water carrier of train 322.

This guy is a smart guy.

After discovering that Cao Sande had stolen the chicken legs, he did not say anything about it, but waited until Li Aiguo came over.

A bomb must be detonated at the right time to exert its maximum power.

The passengers looked at Ma Xiaojun with expressions of contempt.

Have all the current grain station cadres turned into thieves?

Several family members of pregnant women were even more angry. They rushed up and slapped Ma Xiaojun so hard that he foamed at the mouth.

"You are so capable of fighting for food with the child in my wife's belly!"

"Don't do anything, we have to convince people with reason."

Li Aiguo hurriedly stopped him and asked the police to tie up Ma Xiaojun and the other five people with ropes and throw them off the train.

Captain Zhou had been standing not far away watching this scene, frowning and said: "Captain Duan, is Driver Li going a little too far? Ma Xiaojun is indeed a bit bad, but he disrupts the order of the railway and deliberately harasses the people on the train." In danger, he should not dare to do it."

"Xiao Zhou, you are still too young." Duan Chang Xing felt relieved. He took out a cigarette and wanted to smoke one, but found that the cigarette case had been wet by the rain, so he had no choice but to give up.

He put the cigarette case into his arms and said with a smile: "Don't these guys have some background? Let's use these charges to imprison them in the maintenance section. Then we will see how much energy those people have."

Of course, Duan Chang Xing didn't say a word.

Li Aiguo hates people who use their power to oppress the people.

These boys from the grain station ran right into the muzzle of the gun.
