The train driver in the courtyard

In the office of the Locomotive Depot Education Office.

She Cuiping, director of the Education Office, frowned tightly after reading Li Aiguo's application.

"Driver Li, are you going to Beijing University?"

"To be precise, it's the Beijing University Library."

Li Aiguo explained: "You may also know that I am more interested in steam engine technology, so I wanted to read some information. In the university library, there are professional technical books, as well as domestic and foreign journals."

In these years, it is not that there is no communication between China and abroad.

College students like those can even read the latest foreign journals and learn about international cutting-edge technological knowledge.

Li Aiguo's explanation was reasonable, and the news about his automatic fuel ignition equipment had spread throughout the country, so She Cuiping agreed without hesitation.

She issued a letter of introduction for Li Aiguo, stamped it with her official seal, and then picked up the phone to contact Beijing University.

"Comrade Patriot, our locomotive depot has a cooperative relationship with Jingcheng University. You can go to the Security Department of Jingcheng University with your letter of introduction to apply for a pass directly."

"Thank you."

After getting the letter of introduction, Li Aiguo prepared to go to Beijing University.

Just in time, Zhou Keniupi drove back in his jeep.

The jeep stopped in front of Li Aiguo with a click.

Rolling down the window, Zhou Ke took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Aiguo.

"Brother Patriot, where are you going? I'll give you a ride."

Li Aiguo looked at the jeep and asked, "Can I go to Beijing University?"

"Beijing University?" Zhou Ke was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed twice, took out a pass from under the seat and stuck it behind the windshield.

"You are just in luck. Today, our police station specially applied for a special pass in order to send Zheng Xianmin to the ministry. Did you see that there is a red stamp from the ministry on it? You can go anywhere except Haizi."

Huo, this person has such a loud tone.

Li Aiguo saw that there was indeed a seal of the Ministry of Public Security on the pass, and asked curiously: "Isn't that kid Zheng Xianming just messing around with men and women? Does he need to send it to the ministry?"

Zhou Ke looked around and waved to Li Aiguo: "Brother Aiguo, get in the car and we'll talk as we walk."

Li Aiguo got in the car, and the jeep roared towards Beijing University.

Li Aiguo also understood the whole process through Zhou Ke.

Originally, Zheng Xianmin's crime was just promiscuous relations between men and women. Even if he was imprisoned, he would not be imprisoned for a few years.

Seeing that the interrogation was about to end, Zhou Ke was ready to hand them over to the General Bureau.

The woman with small feet suddenly raised her hand and said that she wanted to report Zheng Xinmin for a crime.

It is claimed that Zheng Xianmin once invited two or three pre-liberation technicians to his home. While they were drinking, their words were full of resentment towards the new railway department.

One of them had a hot temper and even claimed that he had hidden more than a hundred kilograms of explosives. If the Dalian factory annoyed him, he would set off fireworks.

It wouldn't matter if it were just a couple of complaints, but the key point was that explosives were involved, and the problem was serious.

Zhou Ke quickly reported the situation.

The Dalian factory was also frightened when they heard the news.

What to do? Check it!

This busy work almost turned someone's house upside down, and they actually found explosives.

Those people were quickly arrested and brought to justice.

Although they said they were innocent, hiding explosives was an undeniable fact.

The case suddenly became serious and needed to be transferred to the Ministry for handling.

Zheng Xianmin is not that bold to cause sabotage. He is probably just drunk and bragging. He is unlucky to have such a small foot, and he will probably never come back in this life.

After passing the gate with the letter of introduction, the jeep arrived at the Security Department of Kyungseong University.

When the comrades in the security department learned that Li Aiguo and Zhou Ke were railway workers, they suddenly became enthusiastic.

"It is because of comrades like you that our country can develop rapidly."

"You're welcome."

After chatting for a while, they applied for the pass and library ID. The jeep parked in front of the security department, and Li Aiguo took Zhou Ke towards the library.

After sending Li Aiguo, Zhou Ke was supposed to go back to the locomotive depot, but this guy said that he wanted to get some cultural flavor so that he could show off in front of Huang Shuxian when he returned.

The campus of Beijing University in those days was quite dilapidated. Both the teaching buildings and the walls were made of blue bricks, with no whitewash or cement on them.

It's just that the faces of the students are incomparable to future generations.

Groups of college students are walking on the cement path. They are wearing dark gray student uniforms. They are all full of energy. Some even hold books while walking.

From time to time, there are Cambodian, Vietnamese, and languages ​​that Li Aiguo cannot understand, flowing in the air.

There is a positive atmosphere on campus.

Li Aiguo fell in love with this place instantly.

There is no hope of going to school here in this life. When I have a child with Chen Xueru, I have to work hard no matter what.

Of course, you can't send your children to the school next door.

Who knows if he might be kidnapped abroad and then shot for no apparent reason.

Zhou Ke looked curiously at this top school in the country.

"Brother Patriot, are these young people and students all college students?"

"What do you think!" Li Aiguo said with a smile: "Speaking of which, within a radius of 500 meters, you are probably the only one with the lowest academic qualifications."

Zhou Ke was a little depressed: "If I hadn't taken over my old man's class, I would have gone to a technical secondary school. I was only a few points away from the admission line for the technical secondary school."

"What score? I heard from my aunt that you seemed to be missing by more than a hundred points." Li Aiguo was surprised.

Zhou Ke: "Don't expose the shortcomings, okay. When my son grows up, I must let him study at Beijing University!"

Sure enough, no matter what era they are in, in the hearts of Chinese people, college students are the pride of heaven.

What's more, they are college students from Beijing University.

The two were chatting.

Sudden.

"Catch the thief!"

A urgent call came from the front.

A middle-aged man wearing glasses, with a thin build and a middle-parted hair ran forward in a panic.

Seeing Li Aiguo and Zhou Ke blocking the road, he yelled: "Get out of here!"

Li Aiguo was still hesitant because he didn't understand the situation. When the other party said this, he immediately winked at Zhou Ke.

"Comrade Zhou Ke, I remember you are a policeman, right?"

"Leave it to me, hehe"

Zhou Kezheng was depressed because he had the lowest academic qualifications on campus, so he couldn't miss the good opportunity to show off his skills.

He strode forward and used a sweeping kick. The middle-aged man fell to the ground with a scream, and the book in his arms fell out.

The middle-aged man struggled for a while and was still trying to get up when Zhou Ke stepped on his back with a big foot.

"Thief, huh? He actually stole it on the university campus, you are so brave!"

The middle-aged man was trampled on the ground and couldn't get up. He struggled a few times. A trace of shame and annoyance suddenly flashed across his face, and he began to mutter words such as "stealing books cannot be counted as stealing".

At this time, a boy wearing a student uniform ran over.

Seeing that the thief had been caught, he gasped and said, "Comrade, thank you, otherwise I would have to pay the library this month's subsidy."

As he spoke, the boy picked up the four or five books scattered on the ground, carefully dusted them off, and held them in his arms.

"Comrade, it seems to me that you are not students of our Capital University, right?" the boy asked.

Li Aiguo said: "We are workers in the locomotive depot. We originally wanted to go to the library to read, but this happened to us."

"Isn't it a coincidence? I am a work-study student in the library."

The boy came immediately and told the whole story.

His name is Zong Xianfeng, a junior student in the Electrical Department of Beijing University, and he comes from the southwest border.

Although it is said that there is no cost to study these years, the state provides each student with a stipend of 18 yuan every month.

Among them, 12 yuan is for food, and the other 6 yuan is a living allowance for students from poor families.

But Zong Xianfeng's family is relatively difficult. His father died young, his mother has been sick all year round, and his younger brothers and sisters are still young. The family is in great need of money.

In order to take care of him, the school arranged for him to work-study in the library.

It was his turn to be on duty today. This middle-aged man slipped into the library from nowhere. He grabbed a few books and tried to escape without registering them. Zong Xianfeng happened to find him.

Only then did we have to catch the thief later.

When he heard that Zong Xianfeng came from the southwest border, Li Aiguo couldn't help but take a closer look at him.

Zong Xianfeng was dressed simply, his collar and cuffs had been washed white, and his figure was thin, but his big eyes were as deep as the sea, shining with intelligence.

This person is a talent!

Li Aiguo once listened to Director She of the Education Office talk about the college entrance examination in recent years.

Last year, fewer than 5 college students were enrolled nationwide, with an admission rate of %.

The admission rate to a top domestic university like Kyungseong University is estimated to be a terrifying one-thousandth.

By the way, the college entrance examination in these years is not entirely based on scores, but is evaluated based on a combination of test scores and school performance.

In the schools on the southwest border, it is estimated that students will not be able to achieve any outstanding performance in school.

In addition, in addition to liberal arts and science, there is also an engineering major. For example, the electrical department studied by Zong Xianfeng is an engineering major.

After chatting for a while, Zong Xianfeng looked at the howling book thief and said, "Driver Li, what should we do with him?"

"Of course I'll send it to your security department!" Li Aiguo said.

"No, it's not necessary. He just stole a few books." Zong Xianfeng said.

When the book thief heard this, his eyes rolled around, and he suddenly howled: "Ouch, my stomach hurts so much, help me, I was injured by you, take me to the hospital quickly."

Zong Xianfeng was an honest and simple child. He was startled and quickly stepped forward to help him up, trying to help him up.

Zhou Ke hesitated and looked at Li Aiguo. After Li Aiguo nodded to him, he raised his feet.

After the book thief stood up with the support of Zong Xianfeng, he said in a loud voice: "This classmate, you are a cultural person and can understand us cultural people. Unlike these two big bosses, how do they understand that stealing books is not a problem at all?" It can’t be considered stealing!”

"How can you call a worker brother a coward?" Zong Xianfeng frowned and said, "I think Driver Li is right. You should indeed be sent to the Security Department for education."

The middle-aged book thief didn't expect that his flattery would hit the horse's hooves. He took advantage of Zong Xianfeng not paying attention and ran away.

Zong Xianfeng wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

But Zhou Ke had been staring at him for a long time, how could he let him run away.

A flying kick landed on his back. After the book thief flew out, he fell down and ate mud.

"Why bother!"

Li Aiguo felt that he was suspected of fishing for law enforcement, but this could only be attributed to the book thief being too stupid.

If you didn't want to escape, wouldn't there be so much trouble?

Li Aiguo walked over and turned the book thief over. This time the book thief fell hard. His face was livid and his nose was bleeding.

Even so, this guy still rolled his eyes at Li Aiguo.

"Stealing books is not stealing"

"You should tell the security officer about this."

At this time, the security officer patrolling the campus arrived on a bicycle.

Looking at the book thief with a bruised nose and swollen face, the two frowned and asked, "What's going on?" Li Aiguo: "This man is a thief."

Book Thief: "Stealing a book is not stealing!"

Two security section officers: "."

In the end, the book thief was sent to the security department.

Li Aiguo, Zhou Ke and Zong Xianfeng also had to record a transcript as witnesses.

"Name?"

"Feng Huacheng"

"age."

"38 is old."

"You are only 38 years old, how come you look like you are in your fifties?"

".I look at the old prime minister, okay."

"Profession."

"poet!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Aiguo and the officers of the Security Section were shocked.

Is there still a profession of poet in these days?

Everyone is busy building the country, so why are you making such sour and corrupt remarks? Can I give you a bowl of rice?

What, this person’s name is Feng Huacheng?

Uh. That's okay.

Li Aiguo's eyes suddenly widened.

In the human world, Feng Huacheng was already in his mid-thirties when he appeared on the scene, and he was still thirty years old now, so Li Aiguo didn't recognize him for a while.

In the original work, Feng Huacheng always regarded himself as a poet.

It just plagiarized a few poems from Big Brother, mixed them with decadent European and American tunes, and used them to deceive little girls.

But I have to say that this guy is really good at deceiving young girls. Relying on his reputation as a cultural poet, he found a minister's daughter as his wife.

After getting married, he relied on the minister's daughter and wife to support him.

Later, because the halo was discovered, his wife left him.

At that time, Feng Huacheng was already thirty-five years old, poor and downcast, but he was still able to seduce Zhou Rong, who was only eighteen or nineteen years old at the time, by writing letters.

You must know that when the two of them first exchanged letters, Zhou Rong was only in the second grade of junior high school, and she was still a little girl who was inexperienced in the world. She was actually able to do this, and she was worse than a beast.

Zhou Rong is also a lover, so she abandoned the Zhou family and Feng Huacheng and came to Yungui.

After the two got married, they did not have anything to do with childbirth, but thought about their romance all day long. They lived on money sent by Zhou's family every month.

Feng Huacheng once again lived a life of soft food.

Later, Feng Huacheng was arrested for being in the limelight, which indirectly caused Zhou's mother to suffer a stroke and be in coma for two years. She evaded responsibility and left her daughter Zhou Yue to be raised by Zhou Bingkun and his wife, who were already in difficulty...

Later, Feng Huacheng returned to the capital, completely forgetting the kindness of the Zhou family, and relying on the poet's aura, he got together with a female student who was more than 20 years younger than him.

Naturally, Li Aiguo didn't have a good impression of such a ruthless person.

At this time, the security officer had figured out the truth of the matter.

"Did you break in through the wall on the east side to steal things?"

"Someone told me that the wall on the east side is shorter." Feng Huacheng corrected him, "Stealing books cannot be called stealing. How can it be called stealing when it comes to cultural people?"

Security officer: "."

Finally, the security officer thought there might be something wrong with the man's head, so he picked up the phone and notified Feng Huacheng's ex-wife.

What he didn't notice was that there was a glimmer of success in Feng Huacheng's eyes.

This matter has nothing to do with Li Aiguo.

After finishing the transcript, Li Aiguo left the Security Section and followed Zong Xianfeng to the Capital University Library.

As soon as he entered the library, he felt that he was in the right place.

There are young female college students everywhere here. No, there are a lot of books.

"Driver Li, the books you are looking for related to train manufacturing are on the A2 shelf in the east."

"Comrade Zhou Ke, the books on criminal investigation and law are on the west shelf, but they are all in Russian."

Zong Xianfeng was grateful to Li Aiguo for helping him catch the thief, and enthusiastically became a guide.

Zhou Ke: "."

He regretted not studying hard at first.

After Li Aiguo took a few books, he looked at Zong Xianfeng and asked, "Are there any books on weapons manufacturing in the library?"

"Of course, it's on the shelf in the back."

Zong Xianfeng led Li Aiguo over and asked curiously: "Driver Li, are you also interested in weapons?"

"Of course, weapons are the guarantee of everything." Li Aiguo turned over the book and smiled: "Let me ask you, if there is a famine year, you have two choices, one is to collect food, and the other is to collect guns. Which one do you choose?"

"Of course it's food. Only with food can you fill your stomach." Zong Xianfeng said innocently.

"What if I take a gun and steal your food?"

"This"

Zong Xianfeng's eyes widened suddenly.

"I should have enrolled in a military academy."

Looking at Zong Xianfeng with a look of regret on his face, Li Aiguo felt that he was guilty.

Are all people in this era so real?

He patted Zong Xianfeng on the shoulder: "No matter what position you are in, you can contribute to the country. Besides, modern weapons also need to be electrified. If we want to build big aircraft carriers, big rockets, etc., we can't lack electricians like you." engineer."

"Can we build an aircraft carrier?" Zong Xianfeng was inevitably a little discouraged.

The ignorant are fearless.

College students like Zong Xianfeng have access to a lot of knowledge and understand the specific situations overseas.

Faced with the huge gap, it is inevitable that they will feel pessimistic in their hearts.

Turning the pages of the book, Li Aiguo said calmly: "Our generation can't build one. There are still the next generation, and the next generation. As long as we work hard enough, sooner or later, we will be able to build a large aircraft carrier."

The sun shone through the glass window and fell on Li Aiguo's cheek. The already deep facial features were now coated with a faint golden light, giving Zong Xianfeng a feeling of perseverance and bravery.

Zong Xianfeng withdrew his gaze, silently picked up the book, and began to study it carefully.

A train driver in the locomotive depot works so hard and is so worried about the people. As a college student, he cannot stand back.

Time passed bit by bit.

In one morning, Li Aiguo read twenty books.

Seeing the twenty points arriving, he was extremely satisfied.

Zhou Ke also found something good, which were several detective novels from the previous dynasty, and he read them with gusto.

Gurgling, both of their stomachs began to growl.

Li Aiguo asked Zhou Ke to put the book back to its original position and prepare to return to the locomotive depot for dinner.

When he walked to the door, Zong Xianfeng came back.

"Are you going back?"

"Yeah, it's time for dinner."

"Eat at our school, I'll treat you."

"You invite?" Li Aiguo looked Zong Xianfeng up and down.

He had just heard from a comrade in the library that Zong Xianfeng had only bought two pairs of socks since he came to Beijing University.

One pair is washed and the other is worn. If the washed pair of socks doesn't dry in the winter, they will be put under the quilt to warm them.

Such a frugal person treats others to dinner.

"Harm, it's just a coincidence for you, we won't spend any money today."

Zong Xianfeng seemed to have regarded Li Aiguo as a friend at this time, and pulled the two of them toward the cafeteria.

In these days, Capital University had two student cafeterias, one large and one small. The larger cafeteria was called the "big dining hall".

The "big dining room" was filled with square tables. Zong Xianfeng was familiar with the way and led the two of them to a table.

Five people with the same degree were already sitting at the table. When they saw Li Aiguo, they were very curious: "Pioneer, who are these two?"

"My new friends, they are comrade workers from the Beijing Locomotive Depot."

"Comrade workers!"

Hearing that Li Aiguo and Zhou Ke were workers, the college students seemed very enthusiastic and quickly asked them to sit down.

"Driver Li, you are really a train driver."

"How can this be false! Look, this uniform we are wearing, isn't it awesome?"

"Awesome!" A little fat man gave a thumbs up in envy: "Back then I also wanted to drive a big train, but my father forced me to go to college."

Li Aiguo: "."

If you don't study at Beijing University and become a worker, this person must have a lot of brains!

What, it’s the 1950s?

That's normal.

Being a train driver is a very respected job.

As far as Li Aiguo knew, there was a train driver named Zhu who came from a very powerful family and had studied at the Anti-Japanese University.

If Driver Zhu wanted to, he could have been a leader in a ministry, but he was a man of high ideological consciousness, but he was willing to start as a train driver.

Therefore, the thinking and spirit of people in this era are unimaginable by future generations.

As a train driver, Li Aiguo traveled extensively and was very good at bragging, and he quickly became involved with this group of students.

Two classmates who live far away from home have already begun to inquire about train tickets back home.

Li Aiguo patted his chest and said, "We are all friends. When you are on vacation, say hello to me and I will ensure that you can buy tickets."

"Thank you, Brother Li!"

A group of people were chatting animatedly, and the canteen began to distribute food.

That's right, food is distributed.

I saw an employee in the cafeteria pushing a cart with two large pots on it.

There is rice in one pot, and dishes in the other. The dishes include fish and meat.

The cafeteria staff placed eight meals on each table and then pushed the cart toward the next table.

Only then did Li Aiguo understand why Zong Xianfeng said that the treat would be free of charge.

It turns out that the cafeteria of Beijing University implements a supply system these days, and meals are distributed according to tables.

If someone asks for leave, the classmate sitting next to him can enjoy an extra meal.

This method is really strange.

After eating, Li Aiguo waved goodbye to the college students and took Zhou Ke back to the library to continue the great cause of Ganshu Dominance.

He earned more than 20 points in one afternoon. When leaving Beijing University, Li Aiguo also turned to the Security Department.

I learned from the security officer that Feng Huacheng's ex-wife came here and paid the fine for Feng Hua.

Because he only stole a few books and failed to succeed, causing no serious consequences, Feng Huacheng wrote a letter of apology and was released.

This guy is really born to feed on women. (End of chapter)
