The train driver in the courtyard

Under the big tree outside the commune.

Just a few words.

Li Aiguo and Yanzi were about to enter the commune when they suddenly stopped.

He saw Yan Jiecheng hiding behind the jeep and looking over here!

"Yan Jiecheng, why are you back again?"

It stands to reason that after Yan Jiecheng returns to Beijing to ask for help, there is no need to make another trip.

Seeing that Li Aiguo had seen him, Yan Jiecheng could only hold his head and walk out, mumbling for a long time without saying a word.

Li Aiguo felt something was wrong and turned to look at Yanzi.

"Yanzi, what's wrong with this guy?"

Yanzi rolled his eyes angrily at Yan Jiecheng: "Speak for yourself!"

"Brother Patriot, I'm sorry, I met Sai Yinghua on the way to the capital."

Li Aiguo looked serious: "Did you reveal your nakedness?"

Throughout the entire operation, Li Aiguo had been wondering why Sai Yinghua suddenly took action and sent Hong Taoer to poison him before he took action.

It seems that the problem lies with Yan Jiecheng.

"I remember your advice not to tell anyone else about it, but Sai Yinghua lied to me and said she wanted to introduce someone to me."

"You also know that I don't want to be like Xu Damao and Nan Yi, who only end up marrying a little widow."

"Sai Yinghua was too cunning and tricked me. I really didn't mean to betray you."

Yan Jiecheng had a look of regret on his face.

"Now that I have admitted my mistake, I can go back after taking the eggs in the truck." Yan Jiecheng thought to himself.

however.

next moment.

Suddenly, Li Aiguo's hand suddenly raised and grabbed Yan Jiecheng's neck. The force was so strong that he almost couldn't breathe.

"Ahem, what are you doing?" Yan Jiecheng struggled subconsciously.

Li Aiguo ignored him, grabbed his neck roughly, pressed his head against the tree, and then applied a little force with his fingers.

Yan Jiecheng felt like his neck was being clamped by an iron vise at this moment.

A strong feeling of suffocation came over him. He opened his mouth wide and tried to breathe, but what he got was that the iron pliers tightened.

Gradually, he was about to faint and lose consciousness.

Li Aiguo suddenly let go of his hand.

Yan Jiecheng, who collapsed on the ground, was able to breathe again.

Breathing in the fresh air greedily, he raised his head and looked at Li Aiguo in disbelief.

"What are you doing? I just said a few more words. I didn't mean it."

"Do you feel it?" Li Aiguo's cold voice interrupted him.

Despite the fierceness of Yan Jiecheng's screams, he still felt a little weak in his heart. He paused for a moment and asked, "What?"

"The taste of poisoning."

Li Aiguo's face was cold: "It was precisely because of your few words that you leaked the investigation and attracted the enemy's attention, and the enemy adopted the method of poisoning."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Yan Jiecheng's collar with one hand and lifted him up.

Pointing to Dabao and the others who were playing a game of catching Deite next to them, they said, "Fortunately, Sai Yinghua only wants to harm me. If she were bolder and poisoned these children, what kind of serious consequences do you think it would have?"

"This this."

Yan Jiecheng's expression suddenly changed.

He felt as if his throat was blocked by something, and a strong sense of suffocation came over him.

But this time Li Aiguo didn't take action.

"Uncle, uncle, are you a bad person too?"

Dabao ran over with a wooden pistol and looked at Yan Jiecheng with alert eyes.

Yan Jiecheng waved his hand quickly: "Don't talk nonsense, uncle is a good man."

"Then why were you beaten by Uncle Hero? Uncle Hero specializes in beating up bad guys!" Dabao curled his lips: "We kids are not that easily fooled!"

Yan Jiecheng's face immediately turned red, full of shame.

Dabao is right, he is indeed worse than a child.

Children all know the importance of loyalty.

But he sold others for a small gain.

Yan Jiecheng lowered his head and said, "Brother Patriot, I'm really ashamed to have caused you trouble."

Li Aiguo said: "You kid, don't think that I am trying to harm you. If you don't change your bad habit of being greedy for petty gains, you will suffer big losses sooner or later!"

"You're right, I will definitely learn from experience and lessons in the future." Yan Jiecheng nodded and said.

Judging from his expression and the emotion in his eyes, Li Aiguo felt that this kid had indeed realized his mistake.

But whether it can be corrected is hard to say.

"The wolf meat the commune gave you this time has been confiscated!"

Li Aiguo said with a straight face: "Dabao has made a great contribution this time. His family is in trouble. Your share of wolf meat, plus my share, will be given to Dabao's family."

Hearing this, Yan Jiecheng's expression changed drastically: "Brother Patriot, that is my wolf meat."

Halfway through his words, Yan Jiecheng couldn't speak any more under the cold gaze.

It hurts! I feel bad!

A full five kilograms of wolf meat was just gone.

If I had known this would be the result, I wouldn't have been so mean at that time.

Yan Jiecheng just wanted to slap himself hard at this moment.

He felt that he would never forget this in his life.

Just because of these five pounds of wolf meat.

Zhang Tieniu watched Yan Jiecheng being beaten. Although he didn't know what happened, he also understood that he must have ruined something big.

Now that he heard that Li Aiguo wanted to give away his share of the meat, he also stepped forward and said with a smile: "Driver Li, I don't like to eat wolf meat, so I can give my share to Dabao's family."

"You don't like to eat, don't your wife and children also like to eat?" Li Aiguo frowned.

It is his own business to promote his style, and he is unwilling to morally kidnap others.

"Hey, I am twenty-one years old this year and I am not married yet! If one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry." Zhang Tieniu scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

I am not married yet at the age of twenty-one, and I am about to become an older young man of this age.

Yan Jiecheng was frustrated, his eyes lit up, he took Zhang Tieniu's arm and whispered: "Brother Tieniu, there is a girl named Zhou Hongmei in our locomotive depot maintenance workshop. She is pretty and pretty, and she matches you very well. What do you think? Don’t you want me to introduce it to you?”

"Really?" Zhang Tieniu was overjoyed.

"Of course, let's go and have a chat."

Yan Jiecheng felt that he had found a sure way to make a fortune, and took his first customer aside.

Li Aiguo: "."

Yan Jiecheng must get up wherever he falls!

But as long as he didn't mess around, it wouldn't be considered a mistake.

Yan Jiecheng and Zhang Tieniu came to the truck.

Out of Li Aiguo's sight, Yan Jiecheng squatted on the ground, rubbed his neck and groaned: "It hurts so much, I feel like my neck is about to break."

Zhang Tieniu saw a bright red handprint on Yan Jiecheng's neck and marveled at Li Aiguo's strength.

He lit a cigarette, looked at Yan Jiecheng and said: "Xiao Yan, Comrade Patriot is doing this for your own good, so don't bear any grudge against him. If he hadn't beaten you up this time, I'm afraid Comrade Yanzi would investigate and you would have to squat on the fence. !”

"How can you! Brother Zhang, am I the kind of person who doesn't know what is good and what is good?" Yan Jiecheng also understood the seriousness of the problem and was full of gratitude to Li Aiguo.

He scratched his head and said depressedly: "I also know that it's wrong, but sometimes I feel itchy when I see a small advantage, and I feel panic if I don't take advantage."

"You."

Zhang Tieniu is a rough guy and doesn't know how to do ideological work, so he can only bring the topic to blind dates.

"What is the condition of Zhou Hongmei in the maintenance workshop of your locomotive depot? How old is she?"

"My age is about thirty."

Yan Jiecheng saw Zhang Tieniu's expression change and said quickly: "She is nine years older than you. As the saying goes, a girl who is a junior holds gold bricks. If she is nine years older, she holds three gold bricks."

"Brother Zhang, you are going to get rich."

Zhang Tieniu: "."

Yan Jiecheng rolled his eyes and continued: "Zhou Hongmei is a young widow with five children."

"Five children." Zhang Tieniu's expression changed.

Yan Jiecheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Tieniu, can brothers harm you? Think about it, by marrying Zhou Hongmei, you will have five children for nothing. Where can you find such a good thing?"

I'll introduce you to such a nice girl, as long as you find a way to get me ten liters of gasoline.

You truckers have no shortage of this stuff. "

Zhang Tieniu took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "Yan Jiecheng, I think I have to let Driver Li deal with you again."

"what?!"

Yan Jiecheng reacted and scratched his head, "I, am I trying to take advantage again?"

Zhang Tieniu: "."

After the two left.

Yanzi, who had been silent next to him, stepped forward, looked at Li Aiguo and said:

"Driver Li, after Yan Jiecheng realized that he had been deceived, he took the initiative to report the matter to Minister Liu. This can be regarded as a meritorious service."

When Yanzi learned about this, he was also surprised that the person chosen by Li Aiguo was so unreliable.

This is not in line with Li Aiguo's always cautious character.

Later, when I thought about it carefully, I understood.

The situation was special at that time. Li Aiguo could not leave Wei Zhuang, and the only people around him who could be useful were Yan Jiecheng and Zhang Tieniu.

Compared with Zhang Tieniu whom they met for the first time, Yan Jiecheng is obviously more reliable as Li Aiguo's neighbor.

Yanzi also investigated Yan Jiecheng and found that although he liked petty gains, he had no serious problems.

The reason why there are mistakes in the operation can only show that the enemy is too cunning.

As an investigator, Yanzi has experienced too many dangers and will never underestimate any enemy.

Even if the other person is just an old woman herding sheep on the roadside.

The fact that these guys were able to hide for four or five years without revealing their true identity is enough to show how powerful they are.

Take Lao Hei for example.

Having been an old investigator for more than ten years, he can be said to be an experienced veteran. Even though he was careful, one of his ears was cut off by the enemy.

This is a war.

War is cruel!

Yan Zi looked up at the tall figure walking towards the commune gate and sighed slightly.

As a train driver, it is very rare to be able to see through the opponent's tricks twice in a row and finally eliminate all the culprits.

*

Subsequently.

Yanzi took over the investigation work in the name of the investigation team.

Things are crystal clear.

The discovered oceans and radio stations found in the cave are enough to prove the identities of Zhao Youcai and Sai Yinghua.

The two beards have all been killed, and the belongings found in the cave have been sent to the weather station.

Weather analysts at the weather station may be able to find useful clues about people who have been in contact with Sai Yinghua.

The subsequent investigation will be taken over by a specialized investigation team.

Now the trickier thing is what to do with the hearts.

Although this woman had been a beard, she had done no harm.

And when poisoning, he still has a conscience and can find his way back in time.

"Comrade Yanzi, Hongtaoer once worked for me. She once spared Huangjiazhuang a meat ticket. I suggest we check it out."

Li Aiguo suggested: "If it is true as Hong Tao'er said, we can give her a lighter sentence."

Yan Zi stood at the door of the warehouse, watching Wang Stutter and Hong Tao'er chatting with each other in the warehouse, and was also moved.

"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate now."

Although moved, discipline is discipline.

In order to prevent Hongtaoer and Wang Stutter from getting involved, Yanzi specially entrusted comrades from the county to investigate.

Half a moment passed.

The comrades from the county town returned to the warehouse with two members, a man and a woman.

The female club member was probably in her thirties, with tanned skin. She strode over when she saw Hong Tao'er.

"puff"

She knelt down in front of Hong Tao'er and kowtowed heavily.

"My benefactor, I finally see you. If it hadn't been for your kindness back then, I would have been sold into a miserable brothel by those damn beards."

Comrades in the county introduced that this girl was the eldest daughter of the Huang family.

After she was released by Hong Tao'er, she didn't dare to go home.

Instead, he hid in a relative's house and later married a young man in the village.

Now she is the mother of three children. The appearance of the eldest daughter of the Huang family confirmed the credibility of Hong Taoer's testimony.

In the end, Yanzi discussed with comrades in the county and decided to sentence Hongtaoer to three years of probation.

At the same time, Hong Taoer and the eldest daughter of the Huang family, as victims of the beards, need to go to the county town to attend a meeting to accuse the beards of what they did back then.

By this time the truck had been repaired.

Li Aiguo remembered that he had to go back to drive, so he put down attending the conference.

Say goodbye to Yanzi and return to the grinding field.

Zhang Tiehan was already sitting on the truck, and Yan Jiecheng stood obediently in the truck bed. When he saw Li Aiguo coming over, his face turned pale with fright.

Yan Jiecheng was really scared when Li Aiguo suddenly took action just now.

"Okay, guys, go back!"

Li Aiguo turned around and looked at Village Chief Wei and the members who came to see him off.

Village Chief Wei took a basket from Wang Stutterba and handed it to Li Aiguo: "Driver Li, it stands to reason that you have helped our commune so much, and we should thank you. But our commune is poor, so there is nothing wrong with it." Good thing, here are twenty eggs, please take them back."

Li Aiguo looked at the eggs in the basket. They were all relatively large and must have been carefully selected.

"Then I'll thank you guys."

He accepted without hesitation.

Because he knew that members valued face most, and if he didn't accept their gifts, it would be like a slap in the face.

Just find a way to compensate for these eggs in the future.

Wang stuttered and walked up to Li Aiguo, and knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Li Li Li, Driver Li, my woman wants to harm you, and you beg for mercy on her behalf, I will give you a blow."

As he spoke, he would kowtow.

For a villager, kowtow is the most important etiquette.

As the saying goes, "Kneel down to heaven and kneel to your parents." There is absolutely no such thing as kowtow to your peers.

Li Aiguo hurriedly stepped forward to help Wang stutter: "Captain Wang, what are you doing! The reason why Hong Taoer can get a lighter sentence is because she did not do any evil and she is also a victim!"

"Driver Li, don't worry, I have remembered this kindness and will repay it one day!"

"Okay, now you have to do some ideological work for Hongtao'er, so that she can realize the mistakes she has made and strive to contribute to the village."

"Don't worry."

After chatting for a while, Li Aiguo patted Wang Stutter on the shoulder, turned around and climbed up to look at the truck.

Zhang Tieniu lit the fire and the truck sped away with black smoke.

Seeing the truck disappearing at the end of the road, the two little old ladies from the Huang family said with pouty lips: "That's twenty eggs. Village chief, you are really generous. I don't think the train driver is a good guy either. Just accept it.”

"Shut your mouth, no one will think you are dumb." Public Security Officer Zhou raised his fist: "If it weren't for Driver Li, who knows what big trouble those two beards could have caused. You are talking nonsense, I will punch you!"

Before leaving, Li Aiguo suggested to Yanzi that Public Security Officer Zhou also participated in the operation and should be considered a member of the investigation team.

This is Public Security Officer Zhou’s dream.

Now that someone dares to slander Li Aiguo, he will really beat him up this time.

Village Chief Wei remembered Li Aiguo's instructions before leaving, and his eyes turned cold: "Tonight we will continue to hold a meeting in the commune to discuss the Huang family's problems."

The little-footed old lady of the Huang family shrank her neck in fear and did not dare to speak out.

They regretted it in their hearts.

Isn't that just a couple of extra sentences?

Why did it cause so much trouble?

*

*

*

There is a thatched house at the west end of Weizhuang Village.

Compared with the houses in the village, this house is shabby and lower, with a crack in the yellow mud wall and the thatch on the roof fluttering in the wind.

The house didn't even have a door, and was separated by a straw mat.

Dabao opened the straw mat and rushed into the house with Zhaodi and Xiangdi.

"Father, mother, do you think I brought something back?"

"cough cough"

There was a rapid coughing sound on the bed in the house, and a skinny woman sat up holding on to the fire bed.

She is Dabao's mother. She has tuberculosis and cannot see the wind. She can only lie in the house on weekdays.

Dabaoniang was so shocked that her face changed when she saw that all three children were carrying a piece of wolf meat, each weighing five or six kilograms.

She also knew about the wolf meat eaten in the village last night.

Village Chief Lao Wei knew that the couple was having difficulty moving, so he sent Brother Dazhu to bring them two pieces of meat.

The meat tastes really delicious.

However, instead of being happy, Dabao's mother angrily shouted: "Dabao, where did you get it? Return it immediately, or you will die!"

"What did mother teach you three? Our family is a clean family. Even if we die of poverty and starvation, we cannot steal other people's things."

Dabao didn't expect his mother to be so angry.

He stood there for a moment, with tears welling up in his eyes, unable to speak.

Zhaodi quickly patted Dabao's shoulder, raised his head and looked at Dabao's mother and said, "Mom, don't blame me, these wolf meats were given to us by our heroic uncle."

"Uncle Hero?" A trace of doubt appeared on Dabaoniang's pale face.

Zhaodi said: "It's the train driver uncle who gave us the thermos bottle and enamel jar."

"The train driver is a very good person!" Dabaoniang couldn't help but praise her when she mentioned this.

When the rescue train was going on, Dabao liked to join in the fun and went along with it.

How can a child help? But it was also counted as a quota, and he was assigned a thermos bottle and an enamel jar.

These two pieces of furniture are now the most luxurious items in the house.

In addition, the wolf meat feast was also created by the train driver.

That’s more than a hundred kilograms of wolf meat! It is enough to feed an average person for four to five years.

Dabaoniang, who has poor language, can only use the word "good person" to describe Li Aiguo.

Dabaoniang shook her head, came to her senses, and asked: "But how did he become a heroic uncle?"

"Mom, don't you know, Old Man Liu and Aunt Liu in our supply and marketing cooperative are bearded men!"

Brother Zhao told him everything that happened today.

"In the end, the bad guy was killed by Uncle Hero, just like in the movie. The younger brother also made a contribution, so Uncle Hero sent the wolf meat to our house."

After Dabaoniang heard it, she understood in her heart.

What a meritorious service. They saw that our family was in difficulty, so they deliberately found excuses to help our family.

He helped people and saved their face. This train driver was indeed a good person.

Dabaoniang was moved in her heart.

Seeing the expectant faces of several children, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded heavily.

"Dabao, Mom has misunderstood you. You must remember that these wolf meats were given to you by Uncle Hero, and you must repay Uncle Hero when you grow up."

"Mom, don't worry." Dabao nodded heavily: "I have written down the name of Uncle Hero on the palm of my hand."

As he spoke, he raised his palm, with the words "Li Aiguo" painted in charcoal on it.

The charcoal was obtained from the commune's large stoves, and the words were written for him by the commune's accountant.

Zhaodi suddenly laughed: "Brother, if you wash your hands, won't the words fall off?"

Dabao raised his little face with a determined expression: "I won't wash my hands!"

"Then when you see Uncle Hero next time, won't you become a little stinker?" Xiangdi chuckled.

Dabao: "."

Seeing several children playing there, Dabao Niang put the wolf meat into the jar, and her heart was filled with joy.

With these dozen kilograms of wolf meat, the children at home will not need to eat for at least two years.

At this time, the truck had returned to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot and stopped steadily at the station.

Li Aiguo jumped out of the truck and prepared to go home.

Suddenly I heard a cry and howl coming from behind me.

"Eggs, I dropped eggs! Zhang Tiehan, you pay for my eggs!"

Turn around and look.

I saw Yan Jiecheng squatting in the driver's building, holding Zhang Tieniu in tears!

Zhang Tieniu looked innocent: "Yan Jiecheng, you put the eggs under my seat, what does it have to do with me?"

Li Aiguo took a closer look and was immediately happy.

There is an empty space under the driver's seat of this year's GAZ truck.

Drivers usually use it to store weapons and lunch boxes.

Yan Jiecheng may have thought it was the safest place, so he hid the eggs there.

But he had never been in a truck and didn't understand how bumpy it was.

Along the way, almost all the eggs were cracked, and there was a puddle of yellow stuff under the driver's seat.

Zhang Tieniu saw that Yan Jiecheng was still unwilling to give up. He tugged on his collar and said, "Boy, I haven't asked you to help me clean the truck yet, and you still dare to nag me here."

Yan Jiecheng was immediately speechless.

During this trip to Wei Zhuang, Yan Jie originally got five kilograms of wolf meat, but in exchange he got more than a hundred eggs. It was a great harvest.

Now the wolf meat has been confiscated, all the eggs have been smashed, and the pants are almost gone.

Only now did he understand the true meaning of Li Aiguo's saying, "Take advantage of a small amount and suffer a big loss."

of course.

Don’t let those broken eggs go to waste.

Li Aiguo gave Yan Jiecheng an idea and asked him to borrow a dozen kidney lunch boxes from his coworkers and then borrow a spoon from the canteen.

Yan Jiecheng spent a long time putting the broken eggs into the lunch box.

Although those eggs stained with engine oil cannot be taken away.

But the remaining ones were filled with more than a dozen lunch boxes.

Li Aiguo rode on his bicycle, and Yan Jiecheng put the lunch box on the back of the bicycle and tied it tightly with a rope. He sat behind and held it.

Just like that, the two of them returned to the courtyard.

Just after lunch, Yan Bugui was waiting at the entrance of the courtyard, walking back and forth with his hands behind his back.

The third aunt saw him like this and persuaded him: "Old man, don't worry, Yan Jiecheng will definitely bring the eggs back."

"This is a big business. We can earn at least two yuan from those extra eggs. Can I rest assured?"

The two were chatting, and Li Aiguo came back on his bicycle.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng holding a pile of iron waist lunch boxes, Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly: "Jiecheng, where are the eggs? Didn't you bring them back?"

"Bring it back."

"where?"

"In the lunch box."

Yan Bugui: "."

Looking at the dozen lunch boxes, Yan Bugui felt his temples throbbing.

After taking off the round-mouthed cloth shoes, Yan Jiecheng must be taught a lesson.

"How dare you break the eggs? You're going to kill me!"

Good guy, Yan Bugui's incarnation got hit in the bangs.

Yan Jiecheng was so frightened that he wanted to hide, but he was still holding the lunch box and had no place to hide. He could only watch as the smelly shoe soles were slapped at him.

Li Aiguo quickly jumped off his bicycle to stop Yan Bugui.

"Third uncle, Teacher Yan, you are a cultural person. You have to reason with your children, but you can't do anything!"

"me."

Yan Bugui felt that he couldn't swallow the anger in his throat.

He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Today I will no longer be a cultural person, I have to deal with this unsatisfactory boy."

Good guy, this thing can be used as a thing if you want to, but if you don't think of it, it's inappropriate.

Yan Bugui mainly focuses on flexibility.

Seeing that Yan Bugui was indeed angry, Li Aiguo quickly gave Yan Jiecheng a wink.

Yan Jiecheng gritted his teeth and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Yan Bugui is beating someone! The third master of the courtyard, Yan Bugui, is beating someone!"

The roar instantly alarmed the entire compound.

Xu Damao poked his head out of the room: "Did I hear wrongly? Shouldn't Liu Haizhong be the one who beats the child?"

Liu Haizhong was holding a leather belt, ready to teach Liu Guangfu a lesson.

Hearing the sound, everyone was stunned.

"Lao Yan is no longer a thing. She even wants to snatch the privilege of spanking children from me."

Yi Zhonghai, who was 'supervising the work' at the Jia's construction site, frowned.

"It's getting more and more outrageous in the courtyard these days. Even the intellectuals are starting to beat people up."

Jia Zhang narrowed her eyes and said, "Yes, it's all because of this kid Li Aiguo's trouble."
