The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 373 Grain Station Red Deer, Minister Niu’s Young Wife

Zhou Que came in without knocking.

Arouse the resentment of red deer.

He put down the pen and frowned slightly: "Honey, how many times have I told you that this is work, not home, so you must be polite."

"Lao Ma, something bad has happened. Our little army has been captured."

The fierce running made Zhou Que breathless.

She unbuttoned her collar, gasped and shouted loudly.

Ma Lu was aware of Ma Xiaojun's restless temper.

She thought she was messing around with someone again and was being dealt with by the police station, so he said to her: "Which police station are you being detained in?"

"It's not a police station, it's a police station."

"???"

"Oh, it's the police station of the locomotive depot!" Zhou Que's face turned red from holding back, and he finally said it.

Red Deer's face darkened.

"what happened?"

"Didn't our son go to Guangcheng to play with friends? On his way back."

Zhou Que did not dare to speak nonsense and truthfully told the reason why Ma Xiaojun was arrested and what happened.

"Today, the police station of the locomotive depot sent a detention notice. This is what the young comrade told me."

After listening to Zhou Que's narration, Ma Lu's face suddenly turned livid, as if a powerful shock had hit his temple.

He felt like his head was buzzing, as if it was going to explode.

He pinched his brows and said, "I have told you so many times to keep an eye on Xiaojun.

Don't let him fool around with others outside, and work conscientiously at the grain station.

You just don't listen. "

"Snapped!"

Zhou Que slammed the table, glared at Ma Lu, and said angrily: "Why are you yelling at me? If you have the ability, go yell at the people in the maintenance section."

"Did our son do something wrong? Didn't he just take a chicken leg and get out of the car a little late? Is there any need to arrest people?"

"Let me tell you, Lao Ma, we only have one son. If we are really locked up, I will fight you to the death!"

When Red Deer heard this angry voice, he subconsciously shrank his neck and sighed inwardly.

A loving mother often loses her sons, how much has this son spoiled her!

Complaints remain complaints, but Ma Lu had to find a way to rescue Ma Xiaojun.

After all, the Ma family has been passed down from three generations, so it’s just a solitary seedling.

“It really doesn’t matter at the locomotive depot.”

Ma Lu leaned back on the chair with his eyes closed, lit a cigarette, and began to take stock of his network of relationships.

Zhou Que also lost his temper at this moment, sat down on the chair, and muttered in a low voice: "I asked my good sisters to find out. This matter was instigated by a train driver named Li Aiguo from the locomotive depot. Should we do something on him?" idea."

"Just like the last time I dealt with that blind old man at the grain station." Zhou Que blinked his little eyes and sneered at the corner of his mouth.

I often walk by the river, so how can I not wet my shoes?

Last year, when Ma Xiaojun was sneaking grain, he was seen by an old temporary worker guarding the granary.

The old man was a stubborn old man. Even though Ma Xiaojun had good things to say, the old man still didn't know what was wrong and wanted to report it to the grain station.

Ma Xiaojun took advantage of the darkness and brought a gang of brothers to smash the old man's black bricks.

The old man stayed in the hospital for two months and quit his job and returned to his hometown before his injury healed.

Taking a deep breath of cigarette, Ma Lu quickly waved his hand: "Nonsense, the train driver is different from the temporary workers at the grain station. They are all organized and registered."

When Ma Lu saw Zhou Que's ruthless attitude, he became angry.

His wife’s maiden cousin’s name is Zhang Dequan.

Before liberation, he had a nickname-Dong Ba Tian Zhang Ba.

There was a saying about Tianqiao in those days: "The Tianqiao market is full of depressions at both ends, so don't be afraid of the King of Hell, but be afraid of Zhang Ba".

Zhang Dequan joined the Youth Gang and became a minor leader.

He also served as the security chief of the puppet government. He had dozens of thugs under his command and ran rampant on the flyover for thirty years.

After liberation, Zhang Dequan ate peanuts at the kiln.

Zhou Que's natal family was not affected.

In particular, Zhou Que has been following Zhang Dequan since he was a child, and he is very cruel and ruthless!

When encountering a problem, if you don’t think of a way to solve it, you always want to solve it for others.

Seeing that Zhou Que was disapproving and still had a fierce look in his little eyes, Ma Lu reminded: "Now that we are liberated, it is no better than before liberation. Don't use those crooked tricks anymore. Have you forgotten how Brother Dequan died?"

When Zhang Dequan was escorted to the kiln platform, Zhou Que went to see him off.

Seeing the arrogant Zhang Dequan in front of the black muzzle with his own eyes, he was so frightened that he wet his cotton pants.

"But we only have one son." Zhou Que ran out of ideas.

"I still have a few old friends, they should be able to help. Besides, if the train has an accident, the locomotive department is also responsible."

Ma Lu thought for a moment, thought of words, shook the phone, and asked the operator to connect to the district supplies department.

"Lao Zhang, Lao Ma, are you satisfied with the rice from the north last time?"

"Of course, we are good brothers, and if we have good things, we must stay close to our family."

"It's nothing. It's just my little boy who caused trouble again. I don't know what happened, but he provoked the people in the maintenance section."

"I just stole a chicken leg from someone else. I had a stomachache and sat on the train for a while longer."

Considering that he wanted help from the other party, Ma Lu did not dare to hide it and told the matter over the phone.

"Children are ignorant. Please help me and beg for mercy. Recently, a group of Fuqiang fans came to the district. I will stay with you."

Before he finished speaking, a beeping sound came from the receiver.

Red Deer's face darkened.

"Use people to look forward, don't use people to look behind. Fatty Zhang is too unkind."

Ma Lu took a deep breath to suppress his anger, and then shook the phone to call Section Chief Zhang of the District Armed Forces Department.

As soon as the call was connected this time, the other party learned that it was about the locomotive depot and immediately turned off the phone.

Ma Lu made two more phone calls in succession, and the callers were all leaders he thought could build a relationship with the locomotive department.

The result is the same.

Red Deer also realized something was wrong at this time.

Squatting down on the chair.

"This little brat has really caused a big trouble this time! Those people usually rely on their labor to eat and drink, but now they have become cowards. They must have heard some rumors."

He pinched his brows, fatigue evident in his voice.

"Old Ma, you have to save your son!" Zhou Que said anxiously when he saw this.

"Help, help, help"

Red Deer smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe even I will fall in this time."

From a small worker to the position of director of the district grain station office, Red Deer has a strong sensitivity to management and has already vaguely smelled the smell.

Hearing this, Zhou Que's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly became confused.

Despite her usual blathering, she didn't take the red deer seriously, and would hit and scold him at home.

But she knew very well that without red deer, she, a lazy and delicious woman, would have to eat chaffy vegetables.

The forces that her parents' family had before liberation had long since disappeared and could only be used to scare people.

Zhou Que said: "Then, what should we do?"

"It's better to take the initiative than sit back and wait for death. Wife, do you still have the manpower your cousin left behind?"

When the incident came to an end, the red deer's eyes flashed with a fierce light, not at all as gentle as before.

"Most of them were caught." Zhou Que raised his eyebrows and slapped his thigh suddenly: "Back then, my cousin had a sworn brother at the police station in the fifth district, and he seemed to have escaped."

"It's just him. You should contact him right away. It's the little driver who is causing trouble behind the scenes. As long as this person is gone and I keep running away, maybe our family can escape."

Red Deer never thought that he would do such a life-threatening thing in his life.

However, for the sake of my son, I can’t worry about so much. At worst, I can spend more paper money on the little train driver during the holidays.

"I'll go right away."

Zhou Que stood up and hurriedly walked out.

Boom boom boom!

There was a heavy knock on the door.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

Ma Lu took a deep breath, waved his hand to signal Zhou Que to sit down, and then straightened his collar, showing the majesty of a leader.

"Come in!"

The door was pushed open.

Standing outside were two comrades in uniform and Xiao Wang, the clerk of the district grain station.

The clerk, Xiao Wang, smiled at Ma Lu and said, "Director, the webmaster wants to talk to you."

It is normal for a leader to talk to his subordinates, but with two uniforms, the situation is unusual.

The lights in the room were dim, casting shadows like mottled shadows, like a dark corner shrouded in fear.

Feeling a chill coming from behind, Ma Lu forced himself to hold on and said, "Please tell the stationmaster that I am not feeling well and want to go to the hospital. I estimate that I will have to rest for half a year this time."

This can be regarded as Red Deer's last struggle, trying to win a chance to save his life by giving up power.

It's a pity that the trap Ma Xiaojun poked this time was too big.

Director Wang made a serious face: "Old Ma, the station master is still waiting."

The last hope was dashed, and Ma Lu could only stand up holding on to the table, and staggered out following Officer Wang.

Zhou Que has become invisible since those people appeared, sitting on the chair without saying a word.

Seeing that Lao Ma was taken away, she stood up and smiled at the two uniforms: "You are busy, I have to go home and cook."

"Zhou Que? Do you have a cousin named Zhang Dequan?" The comrade in uniform stepped sideways in front of her.

"what?!"

Zhou Que's legs went weak and he collapsed on the ground.

Five years have passed since Zhang Dequan's incident.

The turmoil back then had long since subsided, and no one had ever traced her.

Now that it is mentioned again, it must be the train driver behind it.

Zhou Que’s teeth are almost broken: Is it necessary to kill them all?

Ma Lu was taken to an office on the third floor by Officer Wang.

There were seven or eight people sitting inside at this time.

Everyone's face was as dark as ink, and the office was filled with smoke, like a temple incense burner.

"Cough cough!"

Red Deer coughed several times uncomfortably, and felt inexplicably hot and uneasy.

Entering the room, he chuckled and said, "Hey, the three halls are here to interrogate Xiao Baicai! Here are the elders."

This embarrassing joke failed to melt the frost on several people's faces.

Ma Lu quickly took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes from his pocket, took out the cigarettes and scattered them one by one, but no one picked them up.

Seeing that Red Deer was playing tricks, the director of the district grain station frowned and said, "Red Deer, please sit down."

After Ma Lu sat down, the stationmaster pointed to several comrades and said: "This is Political Commissar Liu from our district public security committee, this is Director Zhang from the district discipline inspection committee, and member Zhou from our grain station supervisory committee. Do you know them?" of."

Red Deer glanced at the group of people in the room, feeling frightened and frightened. His face looked ugly, as if his son had died.

How could that train driver be able to mobilize the leaders of so many disciplinary units?

But he also knew that there was no way out at this moment.

"Stationmaster, I want to report to you that Ma Xiaojun of the Wuliang Station embezzled grain money, secretly resold grain, and engaged in unhealthy practices!" Ma Lu took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and spoke loudly.

"Although Ma Xiaojun is my son, I can't let him act recklessly and embezzle national property!"

"I have been educated by the organization for many years, don't stop me!"

Waka is indeed capable of great things.

Unfortunately.

The stationmaster looked up at Ma Lu, then turned to look at Political Commissar Liu: "Old Liu, what do you think?" What else do you think? At first, when Political Commissar Liu received Zhou Ke's call, he felt a little disgusted.

This kid Zhou Ke has a lot of problems, but he never engages in such things. What's wrong now?

He was about to teach Zhou Ke a lesson on the phone, but he heard a long list of accusations on the receiver.

The district has long received reports from residents that the employees at the Wuliang Station are too shady, often substituting substandard goods, and deliberately adding sand to the grain.

The district committee launched investigations several times, but because Wuliang Station was monolithic, no actual evidence was obtained.

The locomotive depot provided incriminating evidence, and it was as if I was dozing off when I met the person who gave me a pillow.

As long as Ma Xiaojun opens a breakthrough, he might be able to find out the Wuliang Station.

Political Commissar Liu immediately reported Ma Xiaojun's matter to the leader.

The leadership instructed to deal with it strictly and restore the reputation of the grain station in the hearts of the people as soon as possible.

This time things got big, and it wasn't just Ma Xiaojun who had to deal with it.

Red Deer wanted to abandon his pawn to save his chariot, which was a bit natural.

After thinking about this, Political Commissar Liu took out a notebook from his bag, spread it on his knees, and said with a smile: "We have all the information about Ma Xiaojun's situation. Now let's talk about your problem."

Red Deer slumped in his chair.

Did he even betray his son and not even give him the last chance?

Little train driver, you are too cruel!

After handing over Ma Xiaojun's matter to Zhou Ke, Li Aiguo stopped caring.

This group of monsters and monsters, despite shouting and shouting all day long, are vulnerable to an iron fist.

Now is a new society, and the sun shines on the earth.

Since they dare to show their faces, they will definitely not be able to escape.

After leaving the locomotive depot police station, Li Aiguo and Cao Wenzhi took a hot bath in the bathroom.

Originally he wanted to go back to rest, but was transferred by Xing Duanchang to cooperate with the rescue team Liu Qingsong.

Inside the rescue team office.

Liu Qingsong picked up the hot water bottle and brought it to an enamel vat to heat tea.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled at Li Aiguo: "Driver Li, wait."

He went into the office next door and came out a moment later with a jar of brown sugar.

He scooped up a full spoonful, poured it into the enamel jar, and handed it over.

Good guy, I’m enjoying maternity-level treatment.

The brown sugar slowly dissolves, and the tea gradually turns rosy, as if illuminated by warm sunlight.

Brown sugar is a rare tonic these days, Li Aiguo sipped it.

The full sweetness is intertwined with the unique aroma of sugar cane and flows in your mouth, creating just the right amount of comfort.

Liu Qingsong took the notebook and handed it to Li Aiguo: "Driver Li, the rescue regulations you talked about on the rescue train were very useful. There should be some that haven't been mentioned yet, right?"

Li Aiguo looked down at the brown sugar tea, and then looked up at Liu Qingsong, whose skin color was the same as the brown sugar tea.

I feel like I've been cheated.

Is this guy planning to have sex for free again?

Knowledge is the ladder that promotes the progress of human civilization.

Many of today's inventions and innovations often stand on the shoulders of our predecessors.

But conversely, if the knowledge of future generations is brought to the present.

It is enough to achieve dimensionality reduction and overtaking in corners.

In order to promote the development of train rescue technology.

Li Aiguo was willing to be fooled, picked up a pen and started writing quickly in his notebook.

The sunlight filtered through the glass window and fell on him, making his already burly body even taller.

It is impossible to have prostitution for free.

Impossible in this life.

The locomotive depot is off work.

To celebrate the success of the rescue operation, the locomotive depot held a celebration banquet in the canteen.

Duan Chang Xing, members of the rescue team, comrades from the 322nd crew, Zhang Dahua, Cao Wenzhi and Li Aiguo gathered together and had a lively meal.

At the banquet, after a group of female comrades finished drinking, they were still asking Li Aiguo about Linggui Zhanshi Liquor.

When they learned that the wine was gone and they needed to go to the border to get it, they all looked a little depressed.

After all, I am used to eating hard meat, and eating soft kimchi is a bit hard to eat.

Since it was a work banquet, we didn’t waste much time.

After eating, Li Aiguo was about to leave when he was stopped by Minister Niu of the Ministry of Armed Forces.

"Go, come home with me."

"What?"

"Kimchi, you forgot, I promised you that I will give you kimchi when I come back from the rescue." Minister Niu patted his chest and promised: "Everything I say, old Niu, will spit out nails."

Zhou Ke and a group of others were making noises nearby: "Patriot, Minister Niu has always been stingy. We have only had a few bites of kimchi with him for so long. This time you have to empty all his kimchi jars."

"Do not worry!"

Someone offers kimchi, so naturally we can’t refuse.

Especially the authentic Korean style kimchi.

In addition, Li Aiguo is also very interested in the North Korean daughter-in-law who can make Minister Niu make mistakes.

On his first visit, despite being blocked by Minister Niu, Li Aiguo went to Daoxiang Village and bought two boxes of shortbread cookies.

Minister Niu's daughter-in-law is named Jin Xiyuan. She is only one character different from the famous star of Bangzi Country in later generations, but her appearance is not inferior at all.

After being brought back by Minister Niu, he applied for a formal household registration and now works in the third line factory of the locomotive depot.

Jin Xiyuan speaks standard Mandarin, has a fair oval face, big eyes, and very white and neat teeth.

If they met on the road, Li Aiguo would hardly be able to tell that she was from a foreign country.

But after being in contact with it for a while, I quickly discovered the difference.

The fire was started, the table was set, and the tea was poured.

Li Aiguo and Minister Niu were sitting on the Kang table, talking face to face.

Seeing Jin Xiyuan standing nearby quietly.

Li Aiguo greeted her and said, "Sister-in-law, we are not outsiders. There is no need to be so polite. Sit down quickly."

A very ordinary sentence, but Jin Xiyuan panicked and waved her hands quickly: "Young Master Yila (it doesn't matter), Young Master Yila."

"Don't worry about her, the women over there are like this and can't sit at the same table with men." Minister Niu explained with a smile.

He drank too much tonight, and now he was a little excited. He lowered his voice and said, "We men don't have to do anything at home. Washing clothes, sweeping the floor, washing dishes and chopsticks are all Xiao Jin's work. Even brushing his teeth is his job." Xiao Jin did it for me."

Although the voice was low, Jin Xiyuan was nearby and could still hear it clearly. However, she pursed her lips and smiled, acquiescing to Lao Niu's words.

"Brother Niu, you are really awesome!" Li Aiguo was finally able to understand why Minister Niu took the risk of making a mistake and brought Jin Xiyuan back.

Why are men fighting to the death outside? Isn't it just to have a woman who knows how to feel hot and cold when I get home?

Well, Miss Chen is not good enough yet and there is still room for improvement.

Minister Niu seemed to feel that his words were contrary to the principle of equality between men and women, and quickly added: "Patriot, your sister-in-law and I have been tested by blood and fire."

In this warm cabin, Li Aiguo couldn't help but give a thumbs up after listening to the story of that year.

At that time, Lao Niu was still a young man.

The war broke out and the war reached the riverside, and the soldiers went to fight against the bullies.

Unexpectedly, the bully's fighter jets were so numerous that they bombarded the train indiscriminately when they saw it.

As a railway soldier, he bit off his fingers and wrote a letter in blood, and then followed the large troops into the battlefield.

Without air control, repairing the railway is a very dangerous thing.

Lao Niu's company suffered heavy losses trying to repair a section of the lifeline, and Ugly's ground troops also rushed over.

Lao Niu retreated while fighting. When he saw that he was separated from his team members and was surrounded by Ugly Japanese soldiers, he was ready to sacrifice.

Who would have thought that he would escape by accident.

Before Lao Niu could be happy, he found that he was lost.

There was no choice but to follow the railway route in memory and walk back, hoping to find his own troops.

When I encountered a small village, I heard a scream coming from the village chief.

The exhausted old cow rushed into the village regardless of the danger to his life.

Killed five Ugly Japanese and rescued Jin Xiyuan who was about to be humiliated.

Jin Xiyuan's parents and brother have been killed by the Japanese.

The helpless Jin Xiyuan saw Lao Niu as if she had seen a great hero and a savior, and wanted to follow him out of the village.

Lao Niu originally thought that he could get away by taking the girl to the station and handing it over to their people.

He forgot that women are just like a lake. As long as a man walks into it, he can never get out again.

The relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, and on the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke, a story of a beautiful woman falling in love with a hero is unfolding.

Just like that, after the war, Lao Niu returned to China with Jin Xiyuan.

This is really a hero and a beauty, but Lao Niu doesn't look like a hero at all.

As the sun set in the west, Li Aiguo hummed a little tune and left Niu's house on his bicycle.

There are two jars of sauerkraut on the bicycle.

Under the same glow, inside the courtyard.

Mrs. Jia Zhang looked up at the colorful clouds on the horizon, yawned, and shouted into the Yi family's house: "Dongxu, hurry up, we have to clean up the house quickly."

"Mom, why are you working so hard? When we get off work in the evening, we can ask people in the compound for help." Jia Dongxu wandered out.

Jia Zhang said coldly: "You kid, why are you so stupid! We have hidden a lot of money."

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu suddenly became energetic and called Qin Huairu, and the three of them came to the ruins of Jia's house.

Looking at the messy ruins, Jia Zhang almost cried.

Last time Jia's house was bombed, at least the house didn't collapse. Now the entire roof has collapsed, leaving only half of the gable standing.

Jia Zhang cursed angrily: "Damn Li Aiguo, if it weren't for him, our house wouldn't have collapsed."

Qin Huairu had already begun to clean up the ruins.

She just pulled out the little clothes from the rubble, frowned and asked: "Mom, this is a natural disaster, what does it have to do with Li Aiguo?"

"Are you stupid?"

Jia Zhang said with a cold face: "If Li Aiguo hadn't bombed our house, would it have collapsed? Why didn't the other houses in the compound collapse?"

Jia Dongxu also nodded: "Yes, yes, it's all Li Aiguo's fault."

Qin Huairu still felt something was wrong. Just when she was about to say something more, Jia Zhang interrupted her with a wave of her hand: "Huairu, now our house has collapsed and must be rebuilt. If there is a natural disaster, are you ready to ask God to pay for us?" Rebuild?”

"Mom, are you ready?" Qin Huairu took a breath.

Mrs. Jia Zhang said proudly: "Learn more, mother, you will never be able to learn all these skills in your lifetime."

Qin Huairu felt that Li Aiguo would not be captured without hesitation, but she could not persuade Jia Zhang, so she had no choice but to give up.

I just hope that Li Aiguo will be merciful this time because of how miserable the Jia family is.

Jia Zhang spent a long time digging around in the ruins with a shovel.

He dug out a black wooden box and hurriedly kicked it into his arms.

Jia Dongxu saw it and asked curiously: "Mom, is that your money box?"

"No, it's just the thoughts my mother left for me." Jia Zhang rolled her eyes.

Jia Dongxu knew that it was the money Jia Zhang had hidden, so he didn't dare to say anything. He picked up a shovel and started searching in the ruins.

After a while, the three of them found nearly five yuan and twenty kilograms of food stamps in the ruins.

Although banknotes and food stamps got wet, they can still be used as long as they are dried.

Unfortunately, the noodle vat was also damaged.

The half-tank of noodle soup inside was turned into a paste by the rain.
