The train driver in the courtyard

That afternoon.

Li Aiguo took advantage of his break, picked up his backpack and went to the library of Beijing University.

This time, the books Li Aiguo chose were related to physics.

Similar to "Physics and Chemistry", "Experimental and Theoretical Physics", "Physics Problems", and "Solid State Physics".
Zong Xianfeng, who works part-time in the library, is not surprised.

This train driver has a wide range of hobbies. He studies everything from astronomy and geography to women giving birth.

"Driver Li, let me help you find books."

In his spare time, Zong Xianfeng also took the initiative to help Li Aiguo move books.

With his help, Li Aiguo gained eight points in one afternoon.

It wasn't until the library was about to get off work that Li Aiguo stood up and shook his sore neck, preparing to go back.

As soon as he left the library door, Zong Xianfeng chased him from behind.

"Driver Li, we will have a holiday in a few days." Zong Xianfeng said a little embarrassed.

Because the Spring Festival is the most important festival in rural areas and has been valued by the people since ancient times, after liberation, the authorities also arranged the Spring Festival holiday for a long time, asking students to enjoy the Spring Festival happily and have a happy Spring Festival holiday.

In this year and month, the university's winter vacation usually lasts from the middle of the twelfth lunar month to the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, which lasts about a month.

Li Aiguo said: "Are you planning to go back this year?"

"Yes, my brother called me and said that my old mother is not in good health. I haven't been home for two consecutive years and I want to go back and have a look." Zong Xianfeng said: "We also have comrades in the college who are responsible for buying tickets. But I want to work in the library for a few more days, and I need to go back very late. I’m afraid I won’t have any tickets by then.”

Li Aiguo: "Okay, I will work in the maintenance section at the front door. When the time comes, you can go directly to me inside the section and I will take you to the train."

Li Aiguo had a good impression of Zong Xianfeng, so he naturally wanted to lend a helping hand.

"Thank you so much, Driver Li."

"You're welcome."

Farewell to Zong Xianfeng.

Li Aiguo was riding his bicycle on the street, only to realize that he had unknowingly arrived at the last month of the fifth or sixth year (the lunar year).

Although the Spring Festival is still a month away, changes have already taken place on the streets.

Stalls selling New Year pictures and vendors selling candy figures have appeared on the streets.

This is not allowed on weekdays, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and no one will care about these people who are living a hand-to-mouth life, and no one will ruin the festive atmosphere.

There are children rehearsing programs in the park, and the atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere.

Although supplies are scarce in these years, the flavor of the year is stronger than that of later generations, and people's eyes are full of hope for the future.

When passing by a scrap shop, Li Aiguo saw Zhang Erpao posting a red word "happy" on the door and slapped his head suddenly.

I have been busy with RPG these days, and I almost forgot about Wang Dakui's marriage.

After returning home in a hurry, Li Aiguo took out a radio ticket from the cabinet and rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative with Chen Xueru.

When Li Aiguo rushed back to the scrap shop again, many people were already gathered in the house.

All the relatives of Wang Dakui's family arrived, and Li Aiguo also saw Zhang Erpao's eldest brother Zhang Dapao and his father Zhang Shun in the crowd.

"You're here too!"

After Li Aiguo greeted the two of them affectionately, he handed a cardboard box to Wang Dakui: "Dakui, happy wedding!"

Wang Dakui took the box and opened it. When he saw the Modu 132-1 tube radio inside, he was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out.

"Patriotism, this, this is so precious."

He wanted to push the radio back at that time, but Li Aiguo waved his hand:
"Take it, this is for Comrade Wang Tingting, it has nothing to do with you."

Wang Dakui hugged the radio tightly with both hands.

He's not a very emotional person.

But at this moment, his eyes turned red quietly.

******
The next day was Wang Dakui's wedding day, but Li Aiguo had a deep sleep.

the reason is simple.

This guy and Wang Tingting participated in a group wedding held in the district this time.

Since the 1950s, the capital has begun to publicize and implement the Marriage Law, strengthen marriage administration in accordance with the law, abolish bad customs such as arranged marriages, and select model couples and model families.

It’s just that old rules always have a strong inertia, and arranged marriages are repeatedly banned.

The Municipal Women's Federation consulted with other departments and reported to superiors for approval, deciding to hold a collective wedding every few months with the aim of "changing old customs and establishing new ones."

As a director of the Propaganda Section of the District Committee, Wang Tingting has a positive attitude and naturally wants to support the decisions of her superiors.

Wang Dakui's relatives on his father's side were gone long ago, and he had no idea of ​​having an old-fashioned wedding. After getting his mother's consent, he agreed to participate in the collective wedding.

The collective wedding was jointly organized by the Women's Federation of the District Committee and the Civil Affairs Department.

There is no need for help from relatives and friends such as Li Aiguo.

At this time, the sun was already shining beside the bed, reflecting a golden light in the room.

Miss Chen was so tired these days, she still tilted her cute head and slept soundly like a little raccoon.

Li Aiguo turned over and hugged her from behind.

Miss Chen woke up from her sleep and felt that it was Li Aiguo, so she snuggled into his arms gently.

"Brother Patriot, we still have to go to the district committee to attend the ceremony. It's time to get up now."

"One hour, it's only eight o'clock now, let's get up at nine o'clock."

"Um"

It was said to be an hour, but it wasn't until there was a knock on the door outside at 9:30 that Li Aiguo and Chen Xueru got up.

After pulling the quilt to cover the battlefield and changing clothes, Li Aiguo opened the door.

Standing outside the door were He Yuyu and Zhang Gangzhu.

"Brother Patriot, Brother Dakui is getting married, let's go together."

"Okay, let me wash my face."

Close the door.

Li Aiguo and Chen Xueru washed up and then came to the courtyard.

He found that many residents went to attend Wang Dakui's wedding.

Among Liu Hai, Xu Damao, Yan Bugui, Aunt Liu and He Yuyu.

Although Wang Dakui does not live in the compound, he makes a living by collecting waste and often interacts with the residents.

In addition, he is an innocent and lively person, and has become friends with many people.

Also, group weddings are rare these days, and everyone wants to see the surprise.

A large group of people walked toward the district committee.

Halfway down the road, Yanbu Gui tugged at the corner of Li Aiguo's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Aiguo, do you not have to hand over the money to participate in the collective wedding?!"

Li Aiguo was silent for a moment and explained: "That's not true. A wedding is a wedding and a wedding banquet is a wedding banquet. If you attend the wedding banquet, you have to pay, right?"

Yan Bugui shrank his neck and felt a little regretful.

It's just that he is too embarrassed to go back now.

In the past six months, he has been selling scraps in a collective scrapyard.

If the relationship is not good, Wang Dakui will try to trick him to lower his price in the future, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

Forget it, I just lost two cents when I went out today.

When Li Aiguo arrived at the district committee's large conference room, the conference room had long been decorated like an auditorium.

The word "Happy" is pasted on the wall.

There is also a red cloth strip stretched across it, which reads "The Twelfth Collective Wedding Ceremony".

In the middle of the conference room, there were several pieces of water-red red silk hanging.

This kind of arrangement is both simple and grand, which is very suitable for the festive atmosphere of the wedding at that time.

Wang Dakui and a group of young people wore a big red flower made of red silk on their chests and a brand-new badge.

Their honest faces were filled with joy.

Wang Tingting and her gang of girls were wearing brand new soap blue overalls.

The only difference from the past is that they all have a red flower in their hair.

They all lowered their heads and looked shy.

The collective wedding was of high standard, with the main leaders and leaders of the Women's Federation attending and delivering warm congratulations.

Afterwards, the wedding officially began, and all the people who came to watch the ceremony sang a passionate song under the leadership of the leader.

"The east is red, the sun is rising"

Li Aiguo had just arranged for his bicycle to enter the auditorium and quickly started singing along.

The song ends.

The civil affairs comrades picked up their marriage certificates and read them one by one, and then they each read out their vows.

Afterwards, the newlyweds bowed three times to the large portraits, and the wedding ended.

The staff of the district committee distributed melon seeds and candies, and the scene suddenly became lively.

Those young couples who don't hold banquets will ride bicycles and go to the park, which is considered a travel wedding these days.

Wang Dakui and Wang Tingting had prepared a few banquets and had to go back to entertain the guests, so they followed Li Aiguo outside the auditorium.

When he saw their bicycles tied with red ribbons by Li Aiguo, Wang Dakui patted Li Aiguo heavily on the shoulder: "Aiguo, thank you."

"We are brothers, why are you so polite?"

******
Wang Dakui's wedding banquet was held in the courtyard of the collective junk shop.

Because we were concerned about the impact, we didn’t do anything big.

The Zhang family prepared five tables.

In addition to relatives, the guests who came were residents of nearby neighborhoods.

The dishes are not very rich, with only six dishes in total, including scrambled eggs, stewed cabbage, stewed pork with potatoes, braised crucian carp, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and braised tofu.

But it tastes good, after all, Nan Yi is cooking it himself today.

The staple food was two white steamed buns, each as big as a fist. I didn’t even care that there was enough for just two people, so I couldn’t eat enough.

The person responsible for distributing the steamed buns was Wang Dakui's brother-in-law.

Since he came out of the police station, this guy often runs to the scrap point, claiming that he wants to learn traditional cultural knowledge from Wang Dakui.

We, Li Aiguo, don’t know what this kid has learned.

The wine is loose wine brought from the old tavern.

Zhang Erpao is responsible for pouring the wine, one glass for each person, no more.

The wedding banquet looked very simple, but no one thought it was inappropriate.

After all, in this day and age, it would be nice to be able to drink wine and eat meat. The only one who has an opinion is Liu Haizhong.

He took a sip from the wine glass and smacked his lips in dissatisfaction: "If I had known we would have brought a bottle of wine, just one glass of wine would be boring."

Xu Damao could understand, but he was a bit angry: "Second uncle, there are so many people, and each person received a gift of 20 cents. If you manage them all, how much will it cost? Not everyone is like you, a sixth-level blacksmith, everyone I can get a monthly salary of sixty or seventy yuan."

Liu Haizhong wanted to get angry on the spot. When he saw Li Aiguo coming over with a wine glass, he quickly smiled and said: "Yes, yes, Dakui is also responding to the call on the street."

He stood up, picked up the wine glass and gave it to Li Aiguo to clink. Then he looked at Xu Damao and said, "When the wedding banquet is over, come to my house and have another meal. That's enough!"

Despite Liu Haizhong's high salary, he is usually very stingy and has never invited anyone to drink.

In the compound, it is estimated that even Yi Zhonghai has never drank Liu Haizhong's wine.

Thinking of Liu Haizhong's active help in cleaning the steel pipes last time, Li Aiguo seemed to understand something and agreed at that time.

Xu Damao is naturally happy to have wine.

After finishing the banquet, Li Aiguo said a few words to Wang Dakui and his wife, and then came to Liu Haizhong's house in the courtyard.

Liu Haizhong picked up two bottles of Maotai liquor and asked the second aunt to get a plate of peanuts.

After drinking until evening, Li Aiguo returned home.

The second aunt cleaned up the mess on the table and said somewhat depressedly: "Haizhong, did we suffer a loss?"

"You, what do you know? I call it a long-term plan to catch the big fish. That boy Li Aiguo is not easy to fool. We have to do it step by step."

Liu Haizhong picked up the last glass of wine, drank it down, straightened his chest and said, "However, we don't need to invite Xu Damao next time. This guy is unreliable. It would be a waste to invite him to drink."

The second aunt always felt that there was some wishful thinking in bangs.

Li Aiguo doesn't look like the kind of child who is greedy for petty gains. He can bribe others with just a few glasses of wine?

But she also knew Liu Haizhong's temperament, and even if she tried to persuade him, he wouldn't listen, so she simply gave up.

Just when Li Aiguo was drinking in the bangs.

Li Yunlong, who returned to Fu Jian, did not rest, but came to the front line.

There are also tens of thousands of kilometers of coastal defense lines.

Fu Jian and Guangdong coastal areas are both frontline areas.

The C Army led by Li Yunlong is an important force.

On weekdays, he is mainly responsible for the Pingtan Island area.

The situation in this area is chaotic, especially near the seaside, and it is occasionally disturbed.

Unwilling to be defeated, the enemy organized a total of about 1 pirates in the area, including the 2st, 3nd, and 7rd Marine Assault Columns, and the 4000th Column of the Maritime Independent Column, and plundered the sea.

Li Yunlong personally led the troops to wipe out the pirates on the island and protect the safety of the people.

dusk.

The sunlight has almost disappeared, and it seems that the sea has also lost its color and become dull. The sky in the distance began to glow with a fiery orange-red color, which merged with the sea surface to form a gorgeous hue.

If there were a great poet here, he would definitely leave two famous sayings.

However, after Li Yunlong looked at it for a long time, he only managed to say, "This bitch is so damn beautiful."

The several leaders of the C Army behind him all wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh. They were so depressed that they felt uncomfortable.

On the day Li Yunlong came back from the capital, a meeting was held. In front of all the leaders, this guy slapped his diploma on the table.

He announced loudly: "I, Li Yunlong, am also a literate person!"

Is this the level of a cultural person?

Or is it that Mr. Jingcheng’s level is too low?
Of course, no one questions it.

After inspecting the team, Li Yunlong took several leaders to stroll on the beach, studying coastal defense issues while enjoying rare leisure time.

Sudden.

The rapid ringing of bells in the distance broke the beautiful world.

"What happened!"

A uniformed guard ran over from a distance, saluted Li Yunlong and said:
"Reporting to the chief, a child who went up the mountain to pick wild fruits just now found a cloth bag buried in the soil and reported it to our comrades here.

After investigation, it turned out that there was a walkie-talkie wrapped in the cloth bag, which led to the conclusion that the "Water Ghost" had landed.

Now the third and fifth platoons have been dispatched and a large-scale manhunt is underway. I believe that it won't be long before the 'water ghost' is caught. "

"The enemy is really evil!"

Li Yunlong did not take this unexpected situation seriously.

Careful arrangements have been made in Haiphong.

After giving the instructions, he continued to walk along the beach with several leaders.

As the top commander, Li Yunlong has been away from C Army for some time and needs to figure out the internal status of C Army in the shortest possible time.

******
Things were just as Li Yunlong expected.

On Wangye Mountain, five miles away from the beach, gunshots were fired and people were shouting.

A "success team" was running away, chased by the people and soldiers.

They carried radios and weapons and originally planned to hide with the help of the island's moles.

Then wait for the opportunity to establish a so-called "activity base."

But not long after landing on the island, he was discovered and had to go back again.

Wangye Mountain is located on the seaside of Donghai Village, Liushui, and is a famous scenic spot in later generations.

But in this day and age, this is a mountainous area with strange rocks and overgrown vegetation, making it easy to hide but difficult to climb.

"What the hell, these mud-legged guys are becoming more and more vigilant. We were discovered before we even climbed over the mountain."

"I guess the inside line was leaked."

Wang Quanshun, the captain of the "Success Team", fled while comforting the team members around him: "But don't be afraid, we are driving a motor boat this time. These mud-legged people can only dispatch a few broken fishing boats in a short time. As long as we Get on board and you'll be safe."

Almost surrounded by people, but not worried at all, Wang Quanshun's confidence is based on strength.

The members of the "Success Team" are die-hard members.

For example, Wang Quanshun was born as a big landowner. His family had thousands of fertile fields and thousands of farm laborers. He should have been able to live a life of luxury and debauchery.

As a result, after liberation, all the fertile farmland at home was given to those poor people.

Can he not hate it?
Vice-captain Zhang Zhiwen is even more remarkable.

Before liberation, my family was an opium seller, and the gold and silver they saved back then could fill a room. Now all the gold and silver have been taken away by poor people.

Those team members also have similar family situations, and all of them have a grudge against Qiu Bangzi, so there is no need to worry about their sudden betrayal.

Additionally, the "Success Team" is a special forces unit.

Formerly known as the Amphibious Combat Force, it is trained by the Old American Advisory Group and uses equipment from the Old American Special Forces.

Later, it was renamed "Successful Special Frogman Team" by micro-managers, or "Successful Team" for short, which means only success is allowed, no righteousness is allowed.

The members of the Success Team are all very skilled, possessing long-distance swimming, fighting, blasting, diving and other combat skills.

They have carried out more than a hundred missions deep into coastal areas and have never been caught.

"Yes, yes, they are so poor that they can't even put on trousers. How can they build a good ship?" Vice-captain Zhang Zhiwen climbed down the stone, threw off the rope and said, "It's just that I didn't make any merit this time. I'll wait until I get back." I can’t go to [831] for tea in the end.”

[831] The name is "Special Tea Room", and it is generally called "Paradise" among the people.

Its nature is similar to that of an ancient brothel, but it is officially run by the enemy.

Female waiters (also known as "waitresses") are recruited from the private sector to provide services to enemy soldiers on a contractual basis.

The members of the special tea room are both voluntary and involuntary, and are extremely complex.

Either they sign up voluntarily because their family is facing difficulties; or they sign up voluntarily because of a crime, in exchange for a reduced or exempted sentence.

There were even cases where enemies died on the battlefield, and their families had to join the special teahouse because of financial difficulties and debt arrears.

It can be said that "a man serves his life on the battlefield to sharpen his spear, and a young woman devotes herself to her country and country."

After liberation, the New World has cleaned up these dirty things.

But the enemy opened "Military Paradise" all over the island.

They persisted in doing this kind of ridiculous thing for decades.

This thing was not abolished until the 1990s.

In later generations, the people on the island did not admit that this happened, which is really ridiculous.

Far away.

According to the regulations, as long as the "Success Team" has made meritorious deeds, they can enter the park for free and be assigned Class A waiters.

Now that the mission has failed and they cannot enjoy the tea service, these people are naturally feeling a little depressed.

But at this time, the gunshots coming from the distance were like a series of reminder bells ringing in their ears.

They didn't care anymore and climbed down the rock with all their strength.

soon.

The "Success Team" is back on the motorboat.

Accompanied by the roar of the motor, the motorboat left the mountain col and headed into the distance at high speed.

Seeing the enemy using motor boats, the comrades involved in the search let out a long sigh.

Just as the "Success Team" expected, there was indeed a patrol boat on the island, but it was unable to operate for a while. It was impossible to catch up with these guys with a small fishing boat.

But things happen to be coincidental.

Zhang Zhiwen, the deputy captain of the "Success Team", controlled the motorboat and was preparing to flee towards the island when he suddenly saw several people in casual clothes walking on the beach, and there were many guards standing next to them.

Zhang Zhiwen is very aware of the style here. Leaders have never liked publicity.

The more plainly a leader is dressed, the more likely he is to have a good reputation.

"Captain, look, those guys may be the enemy's leaders! Otherwise, let's find a way to kill them. Our ship is very fast and they can't catch up."

Zhang Zhiwen suddenly became energetic and made suggestions.

The motor sailing boat is equipped with two light machine guns, with an effective range of up to 500 meters.

Normally, as long as they didn't run into a mud-legged gunboat, they wouldn't be afraid at all.

Now that he saw that the opportunity to perform meritorious deeds was right in front of him, Wang Quanshun's eyes shone brightly, and the scar trembled twice on his face, which looked particularly terrifying.

"Damn it, if these people are really the chiefs, we brothers might even be able to get some small yellow croakers when we go back!"

The reason why they join the "Success Team" is not just for the little yellow croaker.

With an order.

The huge waves rolled up waves of droplets and roared. Several crew members clung to the mast, and the deputy captain on the bow stared seriously ahead, adjusting the direction at all times.

The motorboat turned around and ran towards the beach where Li Yunlong was.
