The train driver in the courtyard

"Driver Li, Jia Dongxu's reaction is exactly as you expected."

After Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu left.

Wang Zhenshan opened the door of the office next door and sighed in his heart when he saw Li Aiguo with his feet up on the desk, holding a book and reading happily.

Sure enough, people who love reading are smart.

He sat opposite Li Aiguo.

I happened to see clearly the words in bold on the cover of the book: Advanced Primary School Textbook Nature Volume 2

Wang Zhenshan was silent.

With a skill point in hand, Li Aiguo closed the book and put it into a canvas bag.

"Uncle Wang, there should be something big going on with the three tiger, leopard and dog brothers, and I have to trouble you to dig deeper. I still have work to do, so I won't interrupt."

Seeing that Li Aiguo was about to leave, Wang Zhenshan sent him out.

"Don't worry, Patriot. The institute has set up a special task force to investigate the crimes of the three bandits. They will definitely be punished as they deserve."

After chatting for a while, Li Aiguo rode his bicycle and left the police station, went straight to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot, and devoted himself non-stop to the development of automatic umbrellas.

Because foreign machines could not be shipped in for the time being, Li Aiguo commissioned the Changxindian Railway Factory to manufacture a batch of miniature springs in the name of Qianmen Locomotive Depot.

This is the first batch of orders received by Changxindian Railway Factory from brother units after its reconstruction.

The factory attached great importance to it and gave Yang Xingzhai the task of producing samples.

Yang Xingzhai took a look at the materials and technology list and said, Li Aiguo, this is an old acquaintance.

A large number of technical staff were organized that day and seventy or eighty spring samples were produced.

Before getting off work, Yang Xingzhai took the spring sample and rode his bicycle to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot Studio.

"The order was placed in the morning and the sample was produced in the afternoon? Is the efficiency of our railways so high?"

Li Aiguo was studying liver skills in the studio when he received a call from Damenggang. He couldn't believe it for a while.

"Bring him in, yes, I'll be waiting in the studio."

After a while.

There was a knock on the door.

As soon as Li Aiguo opened the door, he saw Yang Xingzhai's big black face.

"Lao Yang, it turns out that you are in charge of this project. I was wondering why it was so fast!"

Li Aiguo stretched out his hand and shook Yang Xingzhai's hand, then led him to the sofa and sat down.

"As the deputy director of the workshop, I need you to make a trip for such a small matter."

"Hey, I still want to visit your studio."

As Yang Xingzhai spoke, he turned his head and looked around.

The so-called studio was very different from what he expected.

Yang Xingzhai originally thought that Li Aiguo's studio, where he had made many inventions, had numerous advanced equipment and a professional research team.
There is nothing here except books.

The room on the left has dozens of bookshelves filled with books.

This is more of a library than a studio.

"It's a little different from what I expected."

"This is a wild place, not a regular laboratory."

Li Aiguo picked up the spring and tested its elasticity.
Although it is not as good as a spring made of special materials, it can be used on an umbrella.

"Driver Li, what invention did you come up with this time?" Yang Xingzhai came over curiously.

Li Aiguo took out a semi-finished umbrella, installed the spring into the slot of the umbrella handle, then held the umbrella in his hand and gently pressed the switch.

pat.

brush!
The umbrella is open!
"Good guy, this thing is automatic!" Yang Xingzhai couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

He couldn't help but take the umbrella and take a closer look. He found that it was not technically difficult, but the design was very clever.

This somewhat subverts Yang Xingzhai's views on inventions.

In his view, invention means developing gadgets with high technological content.

"Driver Li, is this thing useful?" Yang Xingzhai looked at it for a moment. He really couldn't imagine anyone who would be too lazy to open an umbrella.

"Haha, of course it works."

After Li Aiguo made a few samples, he looked at Yang Xingzhai and said, "Old Yang, I'm going to get off work soon. You don't have to go back. Come to my house in the evening and let your brothers and sisters prepare some good dishes. Let's have a good meal." ”

The reason why Yang Xingzhai personally delivered springs today was because he had the idea of ​​visiting Li Aiguo.

He is from the capital city and has few friends in the capital. His only acquaintance is Li Aiguo, so he naturally has to move around a lot.

After Yang Xingzhai agreed immediately.

Seeing Li Aiguo holding an umbrella and about to leave, he asked curiously: "Driver Li, it's time to get off work now, what are you going to do?"

"After get off work? What is after get off work? Do we train drivers have to go to and from get off work?"

After speaking, Li Aiguo strode towards the locomotive depot office building with an umbrella in hand.

Yang Xingzhai looked at Li Aiguo's diligent back and scratched his head in depression.

"You just said you were going to get off work soon, but when it's your turn, things changed."

However, Yang Xingzhai did not feel depressed for long.

Because next door to the studio is the fire brigade, where a group of young guys are exercising.

Weight lifts, push and pull machines. These are all new gadgets that Yang Xingzhai has never seen before.

"Comrade, where did you buy this?"

Yang Xingzhai is also a good athlete, and his hands suddenly felt itchy.

Pointing at the push-pull device, this thing has a simple structure and no technological content at all.

"Driver Li helped us make it. Don't underestimate this thing. With it, our team members can train more efficiently and safely."

When the fire captain saw Yang Xingzhai wearing a gray tunic suit, he explained a few more words.

Yang Xingzhai looked at the players sweating profusely on the equipment and felt that his previous views seemed wrong.

“Whether an invention is great does not depend on its technological content, but on whether it can change people’s lives and production methods.”

In the office of the locomotive section chief.

When the leaders of the locomotive depot learned that the project that cost 80 yuan of research funds had produced results, they all put down the work at hand and came to the office.

In the spotlight.

Li Aiguo raised the umbrella high, pressed the switch, and the umbrella opened.

Duan Chang Xing: "."

Several section leaders: "."

Their doubts were similar to those of Yang Xingzhai.

Who is willing to spend an extra dollar to buy an automatic umbrella just to save some effort?

If anyone could give them a dollar, they could manually open and close their umbrellas for a whole day.

This kind of umbrella will definitely not be sold. Xing Duanchang felt that his investment this time seemed to have failed.

However, the project funding of eighty yuan is not a lot, and it is acceptable.

Duan Chang Xing coughed twice and whispered: "Comrade Patriot, this umbrella is very beautiful."

"pretty?"

Li Aiguo was stunned for a moment before he understood what Duan Chang Xing was thinking.

Just like praising a woman, if that woman is very beautiful, then you should praise her beauty directly.

If a woman is not beautiful, she can only find other reasons to praise her, such as being elegant, elegant, and bookish.
For the comrades in the locomotive depot, the last thing an umbrella needs is beauty.

Li Aiguo knew that these people all had straight thinking and there was no way to change their minds.

He placed the umbrellas on the table and said with a smile: "Chang Duan, as long as you find a way to help me produce two thousand umbrellas like this, I will definitely be able to sell these umbrellas within a month."

The cost of an umbrella is three yuan, and the selling price must be at least three and a half cents to break even.

Three and a half yuan can buy more than 30 kilograms of stick noodles. Who is willing to spend so much money to buy an umbrella that is just more beautiful and saves effort?
However, Duan Chang Xing is not worried about the failure of the Li Patriotic Congress.

After all, there is still a maintenance section.

The locomotive depot has tens of thousands of workers and hundreds of thousands of workers' families. If the umbrellas cannot be sold, they can be directly purchased within the depot and then distributed to those workers as welfare goods.

If Li Aiguo knew what Duan Chang Xing was thinking, he would definitely give him a thumbs up and praise him for mastering the essence of internal circulation.

"Two thousand automatic umbrellas are not a lot." Duan Chang Xing turned to look at several leaders, "Old Zhang, Old Liu, what do you think?"

Deputy Section Chief Zhang said: "I think this automatic umbrella is quite interesting. Even if it doesn't rain, it can be used as a toy."

Deputy Section Chief Liu nodded: "It just so happens that our subordinate Hongqi Umbrella Factory has not had many orders recently. It will take about ten days to produce two thousand automatic umbrellas."

Hearing this, Li Aiguo couldn't help but clenched his fists.

He knew that he had come to the right place when he originally focused on joining the railway locomotive depot.

It's like a small kingdom here, with all the attached factories. There was no private trade in these days, let alone private orders. The factory's production tasks were all assigned by superiors.

If he entered a steel factory now and wanted to produce umbrellas, he would probably have to ask his grandfather to sue his grandmother.

Now with the help of the locomotive depot, all you need is an approval slip.

Xing Duanchang said: "Okay, it's decided. Lao Liu, tomorrow you take Aiguo to the umbrella factory and transport the materials needed to produce umbrellas."

Two thousand umbrellas were nothing to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot, and Duan Chang Xing didn't take them to heart at all.

Several deputy section chiefs left. When Li Aiguo was about to leave, section chief Xing suddenly called him.

"Patriot, do you still have your Linggui Zhanshi wine?"

Seeing Li Aiguo looking at him with surprise, Duan Chang Xing blushed immediately.

"This wine is not for me. Look at me. I am as strong as a cow. Do I need that thing? Yes, yes."

People these days are honest. Duan Chang Xing was mumbling for a long time without saying anything.

Li Aiguo laughed and said: "Chang Duan, is a friend of yours in need of this kind of wine?"

"Oops. How did you know that?" Duan Chang Xing felt that this boy was very good at talking. He clapped his hands and said, "That's right, that friend of mine is not in good health."

"I went to Sentie a while ago and got some materials, but brewing still needs some time."

"It's okay, my friend can afford to wait."

After Li Aiguo left, Xing Duan sighed: What a good excuse for a friend.

Li Aiguo returned to the studio.

By this time, Yang Xingzhai was already having a great time playing on the fitness equipment with the firefighters.

"Driver Li, can you help me make a set of this land vehicle?" Yang Xingzhai reluctantly walked off a land boat.

His home is close to the seaside, and he especially likes boating, but it is not convenient after arriving in the capital.

With the Land Cruiser, you can enjoy the fun of boating on the ground. You can't miss it.

"This is easy to talk about. I will help you make it when I have time."

Li Aiguo agreed immediately.

What does it mean to be a great scientist? This is it!

The sun sets in the west.

Little bits of golden light spread all over the capital.

Li Aiguo took Yang Xingzhai back to the courtyard.

Yang Xingzhai usually lives in a factory dormitory. This is the first time he has entered such a big house, and he can't help but look around curiously.

"Tatar officials really know how to enjoy themselves. If this kind of big house were placed before liberation, ordinary people like us would not even have a chance to enter."

"Yeah, luckily I'm liberated."

Li Aiguo greeted the residents and walked towards the backyard.

As soon as he reached the crescent gate of the central courtyard, he heard a roar coming from the central courtyard.

"Jia Dongxu, get out of here you little brat!"

Although the voice sounded a little deformed driven by anger, Li Aiguo still recognized it - Liang Ladi.

I couldn't help but take a few steps quickly.

At this time, many people had gathered at the door of Jia's house.

I saw Liang Ladi standing in front of the door holding a kitchen knife, standing out in a domineering manner.

"Jia Dongxu, if you continue to be a coward, don't blame me for being rude!"

As she spoke, Liang Ladi raised her kitchen knife high.

The sharp blade reflected the golden cold light under the setting sun.

She learned from the police station in the afternoon that the whole incident was caused by Jia Dongxu, and she was furious at that time.

Since marrying into the courtyard, Liang Ladi has restrained herself a lot and never offends others.

She just didn't let the Jia family take advantage, so the Jia family didn't need to harm anyone!
Jia Dongxu was hiding in the house now, how could he dare to go out? He gently pushed Jia Zhang's arm: "Mom, you better go, I'm afraid."

"I am an old woman, how can I fight with others?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang was also scared and turned to look at Qin Huairu: "Daughter-in-law, this is just a misunderstanding. Just explain it to Liang Ladi."

Qin Huairu: "."

Qin Huairu had no choice but to hold Banggeng's hand and leave the house.

"Sister Liang, misunderstandings are all misunderstandings!"

When Qin Huairu faced the angry Liang Ladi, there was no trace of panic on her face, and she said calmly: "My Dongxu didn't know the identity of those people, and he fell into their trap out of good intentions.

Now the police station has severely punished me, Jia Dongxu, and my family is also a victim. What else do you want? "

It has to be said that Qin Huairu has some motives.

She held on to the stick, and no matter how angry Liang Ladi was, she couldn't do anything.

But what Qin Huairu didn't expect was that how could Liang Ladi be compared to someone as stupid as Silly Zhu?
The reason why she made trouble was not to vent her anger on others.

Liang Ladi turned her head to look at the onlookers and shouted loudly:
"Don't you know it yet? Jia Dongxu lost money and was threatened by those people, so he leaked the news about my sheep."

"Jia Dongxu also introduced those sheep thieves to my son Ermao."

"Er Mao is only eight years old. He is still a child. Jia Dongxu is doing this to harm others."

"He is actually pretending to be innocent now, saying that he was also fooled. Do you believe it or not?"

The police station needs evidence to handle the case, but the residents in the compound don't need it.

The children in Liang Ladi's family are very sensible. They never cause trouble in the compound and are very lovable.

Even Liu Lan had to admit that Liang Ladi's ability to educate children far exceeded him.

When the residents knew that Jia Dongxu had colluded with the bandits and wanted to murder Liang Ermao, they suddenly became angry.

"Jia Dongxu is so shameless. How can he collude with the bandits?"

"Forget about the bandits, you have forgotten that Jia Dongxu colluded with Dieter last year."

"Yes, yes, you can't deal with this family too much, or you might be harmed by them at some point."

Time can erase everything. As time goes by, the things that the Jia family committed in the past are gradually no longer mentioned in the courtyard.

All the residents in the courtyard also interacted with the Jia family.

Now that Liang Ladi was exposed, the residents suddenly remembered the bad things the Jia family had done in the past.

Qin Huairu now wished that Liang Ladi would rush in and slap Jia Dongxu in the face!

She saw Yi Zhonghai walking in from the outside with his hands behind his back, and quickly winked at Yi Zhonghai, hoping to get help.

Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a moment, turned his head and walked towards the crowd.

Before he could speak, a strange voice came from the crowd: "I can't help it. Who told Jia Dongxu to have a good father? He has a backer, so of course he is not afraid of anything!"

Don't ask, it must be Xu Damao.

Yi Zhonghai's face darkened, he turned his head and walked away angrily.

Yang Xingzhai watched for a while and said cheerfully: "Brother Patriot, your compound is quite lively."

At this time, Chen Xueru also came back, followed by her second brother Chen Xingyi.

When Chen Xingyi saw Yang Xingzhai, he became uncomfortable.

"Why is the deputy director of our workshop here?"

"Is he a friend of your patriotic brother? This person seems to be quite kind."

"Sister, you are mistaken. Director Yang is a famous black bread man in the workshop. He just sent three mechanics to raise pigs yesterday."

"Really?" Chen Xueru looked at Yang Xingzhai who was chatting and laughing with Li Aiguo, but she couldn't tell that he was such a ruthless person.

Li Aiguo also saw the two of them at this time, pulled Yang Xingzhai over and introduced them to Chen Xueru.

Chen Xueru: "Master Yang, my patriotic family often mentions you in front of me, saying that you are a great inventor. Let's go back. I'll cook some dishes for you, and you can have a good meal."

Several people came to Li's house together.
Chen Xueru helped Yang Xingzhai and Chen Xingyi pour tea and went into the kitchen to work.

Li Aiguo drank tea and chatted with Yang Xingzhai and Chen Xingyi.

"Lao Yang, why don't you bring your family members to the capital?"

"Damn it, I'm not married yet."

Hearing this, Li Aiguo looked at Yang Xingzhai in surprise. This guy is now in his mid-twenties and will not even be considered an older youth in future generations.

But in this day and age, there are very few gay men at his age who are not yet married.

Yang Xingzhai explained nonchalantly: "Driver Li, I am obsessed with studying those machines when I was a train driver. At that time, the locomotive depot had just been rebuilt, and there were many train tasks. Naturally, we couldn't give up. The matter was delayed.”

After listening to Yang Xingzhai's explanation, Li Aiguo didn't know what to say for a while. This guy was really a very pure person.

At this time, Nan Yi and Liang Ladi walked in carrying a piece of mutton. (End of chapter)
