The train driver in the courtyard

Li Aiguo had no interest in the power of the courtyard.

The reason why the Siheyuan Foundation was established is that there will be a difficult period in a few years.

Being prepared in advance may help many people.

As a time traveler, in this passionate era, you must always do something while protecting yourself.

Chen Xueru is kind-hearted by nature and supports the Poverty Alleviation Foundation with both hands.

As a street office worker, she had to think a little more.

“It’s just that there are too many people talking in the compound, so it’s best to get support from the street office.”

"Early tomorrow morning, I will go to the subdistrict office to find Director Wang."

Li Aiguo took off his clothes and lay on the bed with his arms and legs spread out.

He patted the side and said, "Come on."

Chen Xueru's face turned red.

Sit on it.

The quiet night is full of ambiguity.

Early the next morning.

After breakfast, Chen Xueru went to work at the Daqianmen Subdistrict Office, and Li Aiguo rode his bicycle to the Nantongluo Lane Subdistrict Office.

"Recently, our neighborhood is counting the list of poor households. I hope you can strictly control it."

Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office had just arrived at work and was talking to the officers of the Subdistrict Office. When he saw Li Aiguo coming over, he motioned with his eyes to wait in the office for a while.

Li Aiguo had been here several times and was quite familiar with it. He opened the door and walked in, picking up a pack of cigarettes from his desk.

pat.

Light the lighter.

嘶

call

Take two pleasant puffs.

At this time, Director Wang walked in, sat opposite him with a smile, and looked at him with a smile.

"Patriot, when did you come back from your business trip?"

"Yesterday, I just happened to get some bamboo shoots in the mountainous area. I thought that my aunt really likes to eat this kind of fresh food, so I brought it to you."

Li Aiguo took out a newspaper bag from the canvas bag and handed it over.

The newspaper bag was not big, with only about two kilograms of bamboo shoots inside, but Director Wang had an aunt's smile on his face.

"It's rare for a kid like you to miss me even when you're on a business trip."

"Who told you to be my aunt!"

"You kid, you just have a sweet mouth."

Director Wang put the bamboo shoot paper bag into the drawer, took out two packs of cigarettes and handed them to Li Aiguo.

"This was given to me by someone else when I attended a wedding banquet a while ago. I don't smoke, so you can take it back."

"Hey, thank you, aunt."

Li Aiguo smiled happily when he saw the smoke.

A pack of flowers and a pack of sunflowers are considered good smokes.

After sitting down and chatting for a few words, Li Aiguo brought the topic back.

"Aunt Wang just heard that the list of poor households will be re-calculated. What's going on?" Li
"Hello, the number of poor households in our neighborhood seems to have increased a lot in recent times, and many families have applied for subsidies from the sub-district office."

Director Wang stood up and poured him an enamel jar of tea and handed it over.

"But you also know that there are too many people now, and there are only so many places every year. Our sub-district office can only review it again and try to make a bowl of water even. Try to spend the limited funds on the cutting edge to help those who really need it. people."

When mentioning this matter, Director Wang, the old director of the sub-district office, sounded helpless.

She couldn't bear to look at the poor households in the neighborhood, but it was hard for a clever woman to make a living without rice.

When Li Aiguo heard this, he immediately smiled: "Isn't this a coincidence? I have established a Siheyuan Poverty Alleviation Foundation in the Siheyuan, and I just want to report it to you today."

"Siheyuan Poverty Foundation?" Director Wang was stunned.

The foundation sounds very high-end, why is it connected with the little name Siheyuan.

"The thing is like this, I called on the residents of the courtyard to donate a sum of money."

Smoking a cigarette, Li Aiguo explained the model of the Siheyuan Poverty Fund.

Director Wang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he instantly realized the feasibility of this kind of poverty foundation.

The most important thing is that the foundation has adopted a 'monument of merit' model, which can increase the enthusiasm of residents.

"Patriot, do you think this kind of foundation can be promoted in our neighborhood?" Director Wang suddenly became interested and took out a small notebook.

Li Aiguo said: "It's not a big problem if we promote it, but we need to pay attention to one thing: residents must make voluntary donations."

"Voluntary donation. This is easy to do." Director Wang said.

Hearing this, Li Aiguo smiled bitterly and shook his head, but did not answer.

Sometimes, in order to complete some tasks, units like the subdistrict office will inevitably use some means.

But this kind of problem cannot be solved by him alone.

What he has to do now is to guard the three-thirds of an acre of the courtyard.

Director Wang was very interested in the foundation and personally took Li Aiguo to the civil affairs department to go through the relevant procedures.

Later, Li Aiguo was asked to write down all the charter and precautions of the foundation.

"Patriot, I will write a report to the district. If the district agrees, then we can promote it throughout the neighborhood."

Director Wang seemed very positive.

However, Li Aiguo knows very well that the success of the Siheyuan Poverty Alleviation Foundation is due to the special situation in the courtyard, which makes it very difficult to promote it in the entire neighborhood.

But there is no way to persuade this kind of thing.

After getting the formalities, Li Aiguo rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.

Snapped!
He threw the procedure on the table at the third uncle's house.

"Third uncle, we are now considered an organized people. From now on, you will be the chief accountant!"

The third uncle looked at the bright red seal on the document and was so excited that he could hardly close his mouth. His hands holding the document trembled.

"I'm an official?!"

There is no one in the world who doesn’t like being an official, but they just don’t have the chance.

The third intellectual man is even more motivated.

On the same day, I went to a scrap shop and borrowed a broken blackboard. I wrote the name of the donor and the amount on the blackboard with chalk, and then hung it at the door.

The blackboard was very conspicuous, and residents passing by gathered around it.

"Xu Damao donated ten yuan. Tsk, tsk, what a good person."

Xu Damao has been almost insulated from the word 'good person' in his life, and this is the first time he has received such praise from others.

He raised his head in excitement.

This feels more refreshing than having sex with my little wife. The ten dollars are well spent!

Those residents had been unknown all their lives, and had never even been on the blackboard newspaper when they were in school. Now their names appeared on the honor list, and they were all as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.

"Old Zhao, your ideological consciousness is really high. You actually donated two yuan."

"You donated one yuan and a half, which is not low."

The two boasted about business for a while and laughed.

The news that the Poverty Alleviation Foundation became a regular official soon reached Liu Haizhong's ears.

"Lao Yan, an old teacher, how could he be an official? He actually became an accountant." Liu Haizhong regretted so much that his intestines turned green.

If he had not sided with Yi Zhonghai and been a little more generous when donating, he might have become a leader now.

With his ability, he can at least be a deputy manager.

"Fifteen yuan. For only fifteen yuan I can be the deputy manager."

Bangs patted his thighs and said regretfully: "Old lady, tell me how could I be so stupid?!"

"Dad, who are you stupid!" Liu Guangfu just came in from outside and didn't understand the situation.

Liu Haizhong's face suddenly darkened, and he pointed at Liu Guangfu and said, "You walked in with your left foot first when you entered the door today. You obediently took off your pants and lay down by the wall, and got ten belts."

Liu Guangfu wished he could give himself a slap.

Who told you to talk too much?

The three poor families in the compound who received donations are now much better off, and they are full of gratitude to the foundation.

noon.

When Li Aiguo returned home, he just walked to the door and met Aunt Zhou, Uncle Liu and Liu Ershuan's daughter-in-law.

Aunt Zhou carried half a bundle of leeks, Uncle Liu carried two radishes, and Liu Ershuan's family held a pair of thousand-layer shoe mats in their hands.

"Patriot, I want to thank you this time." Aunt Zhou looked at Li Aiguo gratefully. With ten yuan, she was finally willing to buy stick noodles so that the children could have a full meal.

"Auntie, what are you talking about? We are neighbors and this is what we should be doing."

Li Aiguo opened the door, asked a few people to sit down, and said with a smile: "Don't thank me for this. If you want to thank me, just thank the government for its policies and the neighbors in the compound."

"Yes Yes Yes"

No matter how Li Aiguo explained it, Aunt Zhou and the others still attributed the credit to Li Aiguo.

They knew very well that if Yi Zhonghai took care of this matter, the poor household now would probably be the Jia family.

Li Aiguo did not refuse the gifts from the three families.

It's not a valuable thing. If you really refuse to accept it with a straight face, you will definitely be considered to be looking down on others.

Before the three families left, Li Aiguo stopped them.

"The foundation's help can save you temporarily, but not forever. If you have the chance, you should still find a way to rely on yourself."

"Patriot, don't worry, I'm not the kind of lazy person. Recently, the match factory is looking for temporary workers to paste match boxes. I heard that they can earn fifteen yuan a month. I want to try it." Aunt Zhou is fifty. Although he is many years old, his waist is very straight.

"When I enter the match factory, I won't need any help."

Uncle Liu and Liu Ershuan's daughter-in-law also have their own plans, saying they will only receive two months of subsidies.

Li Aiguo was not surprised by this situation. These days, the emphasis is on the honor of labor, and these families feel uncomfortable after receiving the poverty alleviation fund.

These families have income and are no longer considered poor households. Then, in the next phase of the poverty alleviation fund, they can help other households.

Those residents who have been favored will also donate enthusiastically, thus forming a virtuous cycle.

The Siheyuan Poverty Alleviation Foundation can only help three families now. It is just a small sapling that will one day grow into a towering tree.

After Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office submitted the report of the Siheyuan Poverty Alleviation Foundation, it was quickly affirmed by the district committee.

The district committee praised the Siheyuan Poverty Alleviation Foundation as a model for residents to help each other, and proposed to learn from the Siheyuan in large courtyards in major neighborhoods.

For a time, the Siheyuan Poverty Alleviation Foundation became famous.

Even Da Kui's daughter-in-law Wang Tingting published an article the size of a tofu cube in the district propaganda newspaper.

However, various hospitals encountered many difficulties when establishing poverty alleviation foundations.

Just as Li Aiguo expected, the stewards of some large courtyards blindly pursue the donation rate and use various methods to ask residents to donate.

This kind of behavior aroused the rebellious psychology of the residents. Instead of establishing a foundation, it caused a mess.

These things were things for later, and Li Aiguo didn't pay attention.

What he has to do now is to take his second brother Chen Xingyi to the Changxindian Railway Factory to go through the transfer procedures.

Chen Xingyi came back from Baoding yesterday. The procedures in Baoding have been completed, and the procedures in the ministry have also been completed. As long as the Changxindian Railway Factory determines the level, he can be transferred back directly.

"Brother-in-law, I'm not familiar with the situation at the railway factory. What should I do if there is a problem during the practical skills test?"

Looking at the mighty gate of Changxindian Railway Factory, Chen Xingyi looked a little timid.

Changxindian Railway Factory is a large state-owned factory, and it is also a factory at the railway crossing. It has high requirements for its employees.

Although Chen Xingyi is a fourth-level mechanic and has been working in the factory for seven or eight years, he still has no confidence.

"Don't worry, as long as you can stay calm and perform to your due level, there will be absolutely no problem."

"I don't know why, but with you by my side, I feel more confident. Brother-in-law, thank you."

"You're welcome. I'm your brother-in-law. If I don't help you, who will?"

Li Aiguo comforted Chen Xingyi and led him to the gate.

When the duty officer at the factory gate learned that Chen Xingyi was here to take the factory entrance skills test, he enthusiastically brought the two of them into the machine repair shop.

At this time, many people had gathered in the workshop, all workers participating in the test.

Skill level tests are directly linked to wages.

Every time you advance to a level, you will get a few more dollars. If your skills are really unqualified, you will be refunded.

Several workers were obviously eliminated and were squatting on the ground sighing.

"This requirement is too strict. In our original factory, there was no time limit for repairing machines. Here, it needs to be repaired within twenty minutes. Isn't this embarrassing?"

"Yes, yes, the factory at the railway crossing is difficult to deal with. In the past, in the factory, as long as people came to work, it was enough. How could there be so many requirements."

Chen Xingyi's face became even more ugly when he saw this situation, and his heart couldn't help but feel in his throat.

In order to be transferred back to the capital this time, he had a complete falling out with his father-in-law and mother-in-law. If he couldn't join the factory, it would be troublesome.

"Don't think too much, just behave well later." Li Aiguo now also understood Chen Xingyi's character.

Living under the pressure of his father-in-law, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all year round, he has become timid.

Chen Xingyi plucked up the courage, asked the workers about the relevant procedures, and brought the formal documents to the leader in charge of technical testing.

"Director Yang, my name is Chen Xingyi. I am from Baoding Agricultural Machinery Factory. I am here to take the skills test."

"Didn't you see that the test is going on now? Get in line."

Yang Xingzhai, the deputy director of the machine repair shop, had just kicked out a mechanic who had made a mistake with a straight face. He was in a bad mood. Now when he saw someone walking up to the company without thinking, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

He turned his head just in time to see Li Aiguo, his eyes suddenly widened, and the anger on his face disappeared without a trace.

"Driver Li!"

He quickly stood up from behind his desk, walked forward and looked Li Aiguo up and down, and said in surprise: "Is it really you?!"

Li Aiguo was stunned when he saw Yang Xingzhai here.

I can't blame him for his bad eyesight.

But when he went to the Canton Fair, Yang Xingzhai, who invented the automatic road sign receiving device, was still a train driver, and his business work was to lead the research team to make inventions.

In just over two months, he has become the deputy director of the machine repair shop.

"Yang Xingzhai, have you been transferred to the capital?"

Li Aiguo's eyes lit up and he held his hand enthusiastically: "Why don't you sit at home so I can buy you a drink."

Yang Xingzhai seemed particularly happy to meet old friends. He laughed and said, "Why didn't you go? After I came to the capital, I went to your house the next day. Who knew that your wife said you were on a business trip?"

Li Aiguo: "."

He was silent for a moment, then he reached into his pocket and took out a cigarette and handed it to Yang Xingzhai: "Old Yang, let's talk about how you were transferred to the capital, shall we?"

"This matter has a lot to do with you."

Yang Xingzhai took the cigarette and said with a smile, "On the train, you suggested that I should improve myself and take the college entrance examination.

I thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case. After returning to the Locomotive Depot in Shanghai, I applied to my superiors and asked to study at a university in the capital.

After the application was approved, before I even arrived in the capital, Duanli received a request from the Changxindian Railway Factory to expand its production scale and recruit technical personnel.

They simply went through a transfer procedure for me, allowing me to go to university for further studies while serving as the deputy workshop director responsible for technical issues. "

Yang Xingzhai was able to rely on his own efforts to tinker with the automatic sign receiving device, which shows that he has two skills in technology.

If such talents are left to study in university for a few years, it will obviously be wasted. The leaders in the department will also make the best use of their talents.

"Okay, we will be neighbors from now on, and we have to communicate with each other."

"What kind of communication? I have to ask you for advice."

Yang Xingzhai took Li Aiguo's arm and sat down, staring into his eyes and said: "I heard about it after I came to the capital. You set up a studio and made many inventions. If you have the chance, you can I can’t be allowed to visit and study.”

"That's easy to say." Li Aiguo said.

Seeing that Li Aiguo actually knew the leaders in the workshop, Chen Xingyi was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

He had heard before that the train driver's brother-in-law was quite capable, but he was the deputy workshop director and could be considered a leading cadre.

The two chatted for a while, and then Yang Xingzhai noticed Chen Xingyi and asked, "Driver Li, who is this?"

"My brother-in-law, who used to work in Baoding, is a Level 4 mechanic and wants to come to your factory to give it a try."

"It turns out that you are taking part in the test. Let's do this. Driver Li, you are also very busy at work. You just go about your business first and I will greet you."

Yang Xingzhai saw Li Aiguo constantly raising his wrist to check the time and said with a smile.

"Something really happened today. Sentai sent a training class to our locomotive depot to study. Today is the opening ceremony. I have to go and keep an eye on it."

Li Aiguo and Yang Xingzhai were old friends, and he did not refuse. He stood up and patted his shoulder and said, "Lao Yang, I have time tomorrow night. Let's get together in Donglaishun."

"Okay, okay, it's a deal, I'll treat you to a drink when the time comes."

Yang Xingzhai walked Li Aiguo to the door of the workshop, and then walked back with his hands behind his back.

He walked up to Chen Xingyi and said kindly: "Are you Driver Li's brother-in-law?"

"Yes." Seeing Yang Xingzhai's good attitude, Chen Xingyi relaxed a lot and said with a smile: "Leader, are you friends with my brother-in-law?"

"Friend. That doesn't really count."

Just when Chen Xingyi was feeling down, Yang Xingzhai straightened his face and said, "He is my idol and my benchmark!"

If it weren't for Yang Xingzhai's serious look, Chen Xingyi would have thought he was joking.

"Really? My brother-in-law is really good at driving trains."

"Drive a train?"

Yang Xingzhai seemed to feel that he had been insulted and said angrily: "Do you know how much money Driver Li's inventions have saved the country? Do you know how much foreign exchange Driver Li's instant noodles have earned for the country? ?”

"If I had any of Driver Li's inventions, I would be satisfied for the rest of my life. You actually think he's great at just driving a train?!"

Chen Xingyi has been staying in the factory in Baoding, and he is the kind of mechanic who doesn't hear anything outside the window.

Li Aiguo and Chen Xueru were not the type to show off, so he didn't know these things at all.

After listening to Yang Xingzhai's words, Chen Xingyi was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and an incredible sound came out of his throat.

"So my sister is married to an incredible person?!"

"Amazing! Amazing!"

After Yang Xingzhai praised him for a few words, he turned to look at Chen Xingyi with a serious look on his face: "Since you and Driver Li are the same family, you must be very capable. I hope you won't disappoint me in the skill test later." !”

Chen Xingyi: "."

He felt that having such a brother-in-law was too stressful.

"Ah"

Which little girl is thinking about this old man like me again?
Li Aiguo was riding a bicycle on the streets of Beijing and couldn't help but rub his nose.

Today's opening ceremony went smoothly, with the section leader and several section leaders participating.

The Qianmen Locomotive Depot attaches great importance to this training class of Forest Railway, and the special Forest Railway training class was arranged on train 2314 for a half-month visit and study.

The charter crew of train 2314 is a rising star crew in the Qianmen Locomotive Depot recently. Yang Yi, the driver of the regular train, once broke Li Aiguo’s speed record.

The rating of the private crew was only a dozen points worse than that of Li Aiguo's train No. 131.

Commander Bai has emphasized several times recently that the private crew should cheer up and not be surpassed by the 2314 private crew.

Zhang Yazhi's flight attendants are under pressure from competition and have been practicing their skills hard these days.

Li Aiguo doesn't care. Now his focus is on the research and development of automatic umbrellas.

I just called Gangcheng today and Yang Jizong said that the equipment was not in place yet.

This kind of equipment is very sensitive, difficult to obtain, and takes longer, which is normal.

It's just that Yang Jizong seemed hesitant on the phone at that time.

Is there something wrong with the Yang family?

The Yang family's Hex Technology is related to Li Aiguo's future research and development plans.

Thinking of this, Li Aiguo turned his bicycle and drove towards Teacher Liu Guozhang's house.

Liu Guozhang is of high rank and may be able to figure out the situation of the Yang family.
