The train driver in the courtyard

Li Aiguo did not think of himself as a hero.

He felt that he was just doing what he was supposed to do.

Our ancestors shed their blood and sacrificed their lives to achieve today's good situation.

If we allow those with ulterior motives to cause damage, all Chinese people will be affected, including our own descendants.

Because the old ghost's matter involved Dieter, after the old ghost was brought back, comrades from the special department officially took over the case.

After working hard for a few days, Li Aiguo returned the dagger and returned to the railway department's station.

I exchanged a few words with Liu Guozhang.

Then he went back to his room, covered his head and fell asleep.

Dimly, he seemed to hear a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Li Aiguo woke up instantly, picked up the pistol from under the pillow and inserted it into his waist. Then he put on his shoes and walked to the door, turned sideways and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was a lesbian wearing a gray woolen coat.

Approximately in his thirties, with short ear-length hair and fair skin, he exuded the unique power of a person in a high position.

"Hello Driver Li, I am Zhao Ning's friend Zhou Yanhe, Zhou Fang's sister." Zhou Yanhe directly explained his identity.

At the same time, she was also secretly sizing up Li Aiguo.

He is tall and tall, his eyes are shining, his left hand is on his waist, and he is very alert.

This person is not as rude as Zhou Fang said, and he is not a big boss.

"Please come in."

Zhou Yanhe entered the room, closed the door, and Li Aiguo poured her a cup of tea.

"I also came here rashly, and I hope you don't mind."

"Sit, sit."

Li Aiguo motioned for Zhou Yanhe to sit down, and then he sat on the single sofa opposite.

"I heard from Zhao Ning that you have some misunderstandings with Zhou Fang and me. As a sister, I am here to apologize to you on his behalf today."

He spoke apologetically, but his tone was a little stiff.

"Oh?"

Li Aiguo raised his eyebrows.

Zhou Fang’s sister? It seems that he came here because of Zhou Fang's arrest.

[Zhou Fang almost caused a major accident because he lost his pass and failed to report it to the Preparatory Committee in time. Now he has been arrested by the Preparatory Committee.

After this guy was imprisoned, he behaved like a man at first, taking all the responsibilities on himself.

No matter how Section Chief Zhang asked, he would not explain the origin of the pass. He just shouted that he wanted to see his sister.

And he kept saying that someone wanted to punish him, and that person was Li Aiguo from the Ministry of Railways delegation.

Section Chief Zhang reported Zhou Fang's incident to Li Aiguo.

Li Aiguo was busy cooperating with the Chinese tunic suit to arrest people. He had no time to pay attention to this spoiled big brother. He just asked Section Chief Zhang to change Zhou Fang's detention location from Aiqun Building to the small dark room of the Preparatory Committee.

Well, there are a lot of mice in that house.

Zhou Fang was a man, and he persisted like this for three full days.

After all the enemies were caught and the case came to an end, Li Aiguo asked Section Chief Zhang to tell Zhou Fang the seriousness of the matter.

Zhou Fang panicked when he learned that the person who took his ID actually brought firecrackers to sneak into the Canton Fair.

He confessed that the ID was given to him by Zhao Jiayue, and it was said to be the ID of Zhao Jiayue's brother.

After receiving this information, Section Chief Zhang took people to the suburban compound to summon Zhao Jiayue and Zhao Jiayue's brother.

The result was unsatisfactory.

Zhao Jiayue left Yangcheng two days ago because of poor health and needed to recuperate, and has now arrived at a sanatorium along the coast.

Section Chief Zhang could only ask Zhao Jiayue over the phone.

Zhao Jiayue said that she and Zhou Fang were just ordinary friends and would never violate discipline by lending their IDs.

Zhao Jiayue's brother also took out his ID and confirmed that he had not borrowed it.

Therefore, Zhou Fang’s words cannot be confirmed.

In addition to failing to report the loss of his documents in time, Zhou Fang was now charged with forging documents. 】

Seeing that Li Aiguo didn't respond, Zhou Yanhe said with a smile: "Although I am Zhou Fang's sister, I am not like him. Don't worry. It's just that I only have one younger brother, Zhou Fang, and I can't just watch his future be ruined. Please forgive me.”

After explaining something to Li Aiguo, she continued to introduce herself: "My surname is Zhou, and my given name is Yan He. My name comes from "Chu Ci Nine Bian", and I work in the General Political Department."

The General Secretary and Zhao Gang were in the same unit. Li Aiguo squinted his eyes and nodded, indicating for her to continue.

Zhou Yanhe didn't care about Li Aiguo's attitude.

She came uninvited and had to plead for Zhou Fang, who had a conflict with others. They didn't kick her out directly, which was considered polite.

Zhou Yanhe's position was not high, but he was very popular. He had already found out about Li Aiguo through his connections.

The information is quite confusing, and a lot is missing. Even some of Zhou Yanhe's friends cannot get it. The only thing that can be found is that he is a train driver.

But these were enough for Zhou Yanhe to understand that the train driver in front of him was more than just a train driver.

"hehe."

Li Aiguo smiled, took out a pack of Daqianmen from his pocket, and waved it in front of Zhou Yanhe: "Do you mind?"

"Please."

Zhou Yanhe bit his lip, put down the ceramic cup, stood up holding the table, and struck a match to light it for Li Aiguo.

Li Aiguo looked at her in surprise and took a light breath of cigarette.

"Can I have one?" Zhou Yanhe pointed to the cigarette case.

Li Aiguo took out a cigarette and handed it to her. Zhou Yanhe took it and lit it with a match.

She slowly brought the cigarette to her lips and took a puff. As the smoke filled her face, her face looked even more hazy and mysterious.

"I would like to ask Driver Li... if he is interested in making friends. I also have many friends in the Ministry of Railways."

"Not interested in."

Li Aiguo took a puff of cigarette, narrowed his eyes, and replied in Zhou Yanhe's surprised eyes: "I am just a rough driver. I only like to drive big trains and have no interest in promotion."

"Sorry to hear you say that."

Zhou Yanhe was a little surprised, but he didn't show much disappointment.

"If you want to release Zhou Fang, you have to set a price."

This is about opening up the conversation.

Li Aiguo sat up straight, holding a cigarette between his index and middle fingers, rubbing his chin with his thumb and asked, "Any price is acceptable?"

"of course."

Zhou Yanhe raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You may not know our Zhou family, but our family's situation is different from that of Zhao Ning's family. Mr. Zhao walked across the grass back then, and our old man rode in a luxury car."

Luxury car It seems that the Zhou family was a wealthy businessman before liberation, and then he was on the right side.

There are many families in the capital like the Zhou family, who can hold high positions while retaining their previous properties.

Zhou Yanhe continued: "How about twenty small yellow croakers? Or a three-entry house in Yongding Gate?"

Li Aiguo waved his hand: "You misunderstood, I think you must have misunderstood."

In Zhou Yanhe's surprised eyes, Li Aiguo reached out and flicked the ashtray in the ashtray on the coffee table, and said calmly: "I am a train driver, and my monthly salary is enough to support my family."

"Driver Li, aren't you sure?"

Zhou Yanhe looked at Li Aiguo with a smile and said, "I heard that you often bring local specialties back to the capital from other places. You have a huge appetite."

"Yes."

Li Aiguo smiled and nodded: "It's normal for me, a train driver, to carry something, right?

My appetite is not small, but I can’t make enough money, and my life will be spent, right?

Sometimes the food you eat cannot be digested and you will be suffocated to death. "

"Driver Li, you are so funny."

Zhou Yanhe's unique scent of a mature woman filled the room with her giggles.

What a white-bone spirit.

Li Aiguo took a sip of tea and continued: "Zhou Fang's incident almost caused serious losses. Now the root cause lies with the Preparatory Committee. If you want to save Zhou Fang, you have to start with the Preparatory Committee."

"That's it."

Zhou Yanhe looked at Li Aiguo with a smile. Although he believed it, Li Aiguo could see that this woman did not believe her words at all.

People always think they are smart.
Sometimes when you tell the truth, they don't believe it. Do you have to lie to them?

"I heard that Driver Li is from the old capital?" Zhou Yanhe changed his tone and stopped talking about Zhou Fang.

Li Aiguo nodded: "Yes, I live in South Tongluo Lane."

Zhou Yanhe must have found out what kind of underwear he was wearing. There was no need to hide these things.

Zhou Yanhe flipped up her hair, pursed her lips and asked, "Our General Administration often organizes dances and movies. If there is a chance, can I invite you to go?"

"It depends on my wife's consent. You may not know that my wife is very jealous." Li Aiguo spread his hands.

"Driver Li was joking again, how could a man like you be afraid of his wife?"

"That's not called fear, it's called respect!"

Li Aiguo put out his cigarette butt as if to see off the guests: "Now that the higher authorities are promoting female comrades, it's only half the sky. We have to respect lesbians."

"Hahaha"

Zhou Yanhe said with a smile: "Driver Li, you are so interesting. I think we should be friends."

"That's for sure. When the time comes for you to take the train, just give me your name and the flight attendant will arrange you into the camping car." Li Aiguo said angrily.

"."

Zhou Yanhe felt that he no longer needed this benefit.

She never had to pay for her train rides.

After sending Zhou Yanhe away, Li Aiguo lit another cigarette and started smoking lightly.

Although Zhou Yanhe has a special status, Li Aiguo is not afraid of her doing evil things.

When it comes to black hands, we, Li Aiguo, are our ancestors.

As for Zhou Fang, Li Aiguo did not have the slightest sympathy for him.

Such people rely on the merits of their fathers to think that they are superior to others, and they should indeed receive some lessons.

Li Aiguo didn't have much contact with the big courtyard boys in the capital, but he also knew that not all the big courtyard boys were like Yanzi, inheriting their father's ambitions. More big boys uphold the view that "I am a hero and my son is a hero" and act recklessly.

Well, there is a similar saying in later generations: "Why should the efforts of three generations be lost to your ten years of hard study!"

Regardless of whether it is really the efforts of three generations.

Those people must have forgotten that there is a person named De Huang Chao.

Before the Tang Dynasty, the gentry clan had been passed down for hundreds of years, and they believed that no matter who was the emperor, their status would never change.

It's just that Huang Chao doesn't seem to agree with their views.

Use a sentence: "When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill all the flowers after they bloom." Let them understand how ridiculous their ideas are.

Li Aiguo yawned and got into bed.

I slept in darkness for a full four or five hours. When I woke up, the street lights outside the window were already on.

Li Aiguo yawned and stretched, and was about to go to the restaurant to eat when the intercom phone in the room rang.

"Who is it?" He grabbed the phone and asked casually.

Hearing the voice coming from the microphone, Li Aiguo's face suddenly became serious and he couldn't help but puff up his chest.

After a while.

He appeared in a room on the second floor of the pavilion.

Under the dim light.

A comrade in a gray Zhongshan suit shook hands with Li Aiguo enthusiastically: "Comrade driver, I bring greetings from Comrade Farmer. He said that you helped the merchant find the dagger this time and avoided a foreign affairs dispute, which is a great contribution."

"Thank you, the old leader, for me." Li Aiguo put his feet together and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

"In view of your great contribution, the organization specially awards you first-class merit as a reward."

The man in gray tunic took out a golden medal from the box, pinned it on Li Aiguo's chest, and straightened his collar.

Looking at Li Aiguo, he nodded with satisfaction, took two steps back, and saluted.

Does this deserve first-class merit?
Li Aiguo's head was buzzing.

When he saw the tunic saluting, he realized and quickly returned the salute.

"Please rest assured, organization, I will definitely not slack off in my future work. I will continue to work hard and strive to catch all the hidden evil spirits!"

"Good good."

The man in the Chinese tunic suit said "good luck" three times, suddenly stepped forward, took out the medal again, and put it back into the box.

"What are you"

Li Aiguo was confused by his sudden behavior.

Isn’t this a case of giving a child a piece of candy and snatching it away before the child even fills his mouth?

Is it still reasonable?
The Mao suit man smiled and explained: "This is an old rule of our special front. Medals must be kept by the organization first."

"Then when can you return it to me?" Li Aiguo looked at the medal with greedy eyes. He, a tall and thick man, actually felt a little aggrieved.

"There are two situations."

The man in the Mao suit looked up at the incandescent light bulb, then at Li Aiguo, with an expressionless face: "First, after you retire, you will have nothing to do with the front or other comrades in the future.

Second, you died heroically. After the archives are sealed for 30 years, the medal can be returned to your descendants. "

"I'd better choose the first option."

Li Aiguo hesitated for a moment, scratched his head and said, "Besides medals, there is nothing else interesting? We are really stingy."

"Before I left, Comrade Farmer told me that the driver is a guy who climbs along the pole. If he doesn't get any benefits, he will definitely not be willing to accept it."

The man in the Chinese tunic suit took out a pen from his pocket and handed it over as he spoke.

"This is a gold pen. It is of great commemorative value. You can keep it."

Seeing the gold pen, Li Aiguo's face suddenly became serious, he took it with both hands and held it tightly in his hands.

He remembered that Old Mao also had a gold pen like this.

Subsequently.

The Chinese tunic man briefly explained the case of the old ghost.

Lao Gui has a very high level. His work goals are "rectification and subversion, internal instigation of rebellion, and guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines." Violent means such as assassinations and explosions have become his main methods of activity.

In order to achieve his goal, Lao Gui focused his work on the Canton Fair.

To this end, he started preparations two years in advance and gathered a large number of people.

According to the information provided by the old ghost, a total of eight people were arrested. All of them had legitimate occupations, and many of them were advanced workers in the unit.

Moreover, three of them are in very sensitive positions.

If left undetected, a lot of confidential information could be leaked.

It can be said that if these people are allowed to continue to hide, they will inevitably cause great losses to the country.

"Comrade driver, your ability to pry open the old ghost's mouth in a short period of time is the key to preventing the news from leaking." The Chinese tunic suit felt sad as he thought about the scars on the old ghost's body.

For a professionally trained person like Lao Gui, even if he takes action personally, he may not be able to win it in a short time.

"how did you do it?"

"It's very simple. In my eyes, those Dieters are not human beings." Li Aiguo lit a cigarette and replied calmly.

The man in Mao Suit didn't expect to get such an answer, but after understanding it, he nodded heavily: "Those kind of people are indeed not human beings. They have lost the rights they should have as human beings."

"Comrade Patriot, I have to catch a flight back to the capital, so I'll take my leave first."

I saw Mao Zedong and was about to leave.

Li Aiguo stood up and saw him off. When he was sent to the door, he casually asked: "I don't know what to do with the guy whose ID was stolen."

"Zhou Fang? That kid has little to do with the case. He was handed over to the Security Office of the Preparatory Committee and put in charge of them." The Chinese tunic suit seemed to have thought of something, stopped and said:

"Zhou Fang's sister seems to have found a lot of leaders, but she didn't do anything extraordinary. It was the lesbian named Zhao Jiayue from Yangcheng."

He paused, looked at Li Aiguo and asked, "Did she have any issues with you?"

"No, we only met him once when we were eating Western food in Aiqun."

"This is strange. Zhao Jiayue, who is far away in the nursing home, told his superiors through his brother that the reason why Zhou Fang's ID was stolen was because you were behind it. He also said that you had a crush on a TV reporter."

The man in Chinese tunic suit patted Li Aiguo on the shoulder and said, "But don't take it to heart, no one can frame our own comrades. We will investigate this situation."

It’s great to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree.

If the person who caused the trouble was caught, it wouldn't be a big joke.

****
1957 5 Month 25 Day.

The first Canton Fair ended successfully in the drizzle.

In the original historical trajectory, the Canton Fair's transaction volume of miscellaneous goods, food, tea, livestock, minerals, etc. totaled US$1754 million.

Because of instant noodles as a killer, the Canton Fair's turnover reached an astonishing US$2300 million, accounting for one-sixth of the country's formal revenue that year.

The most important thing is that the name of the Canton Fair has become famous, and international media have reported on it, breaking the imperialist blockade to some extent.

On the day the Canton Fair ended, the organizing committee held a grand celebration meeting at Anqun Building.

The delegation from the Ministry of Railways came to the stage to accept the commendation on behalf of Liu Guozhang for becoming the sales champion.

This commendation is different from the past. It represents Liu Guozhang's contribution to economic construction. This is the first time this has happened.

Li Aiguo was drinking wine under the stage, and he felt very happy when he saw the gray-haired old man as happy as a child.

After the banquet.

Li Aiguo thought that Lou Xiao'e was still in Hong Kong City, so he wanted to use the Yang family's channels to go to Hong Kong City to criticize the extravagance of capitalism on the pretext of inspecting Hex Technology.

He was just talking to Yang Jizong when Butler Bai hurried over and said in a low voice: "Jizong, the old man is sick. It's quite serious. It may happen."

He looked up at Li Aiguo and continued: "Let's go back to the port city now. The ship is ready."

Mr. Yang is the talisman of the Yang family. He has saved the Yang family from danger countless times. In the hearts of the Yang family, he is like an unshakable mountain.

Now that the mountain was about to fall, Yang Jizong panicked and smiled apologetically at Li Aiguo: "Brother Patriot, I'm so sorry. We can only do it next time."

"The old man's business is very important. You should go back quickly. I have admired the old man for a long time. Say hello to me."

"I know a few well-known old Chinese medicine doctors in the capital. If you need them, just say anything."

Li Aiguo's expression remained unchanged and he smiled and said a few words. It was not until the two left that his eyes narrowed slightly.

Mr. Yang is a real boss, the kind who can be listed on the encyclopedia in his life.

Li Aiguo remembered that Mr. Yang lived for more than ninety years.

Why is he seriously ill now, the kind that could be life-threatening?

You must know that Yang Jizong serves as the representative of the Yang family on the preparatory committee.

Now that the conference is over, it's time to reward merits. If Mr. Yang's condition was not serious, Butler Bai would not be so anxious.

Without Yang Jizong, Li Aiguo could still use the southern channel of the weather station to go to the port city or swim directly there.

However, Li Aiguo was not so anxious.

I received a letter from Lou Xiaoe a while ago. She is now studying at Hong Kong City University and her life is ordinary and happy.

Seeing the Yang family's car disappear at the end of the road, Li Aiguo withdrew his gaze and returned to the delegation's location.

As soon as he opened the door, he ran into Zhou Ke face to face.

"Brother Patriot, Representative Liu gave everyone a one-dollar bonus and gave us three days off. Let's go shopping tomorrow."

Zhou Ke said excitedly, "Before I came here, my wife told me to buy some fashionable things."

There was also laughter in the room. Everyone got a bonus and had three days off.

Liu Guozhang came out of the room, waved to Li Aiguo, and called him into the office.

"Snapped!"

Ten dollars were slapped on the table.

Liu Guozhang said angrily: "Patriot, this is your bonus."

Ten yuan. Li Aiguo took a breath, this was a sky-high bonus.

"Teacher, am I breaking away from the masses?"

Seeing Li Aiguo's hesitation, Liu Guozhang picked up the money and stuffed it into his pocket, patting him on the shoulder: "You are such a cautious kid. Don't worry, these ten yuan were approved by the ministry because of the huge sales of instant noodles." , I will reward you because you have gained face in the department.

We don’t do big-pot jobs on the railways. If there are no rewards for meritorious service, then who will make meritorious service in the future? "

"Thank you, teacher."

Li Aiguo clutched the ten dollars and began to think about how to spend it.

This ten dollars is free, and it is different from my own salary. (End of chapter)
