The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 55

Officer Wang opened the door and reported the test scores to Minister Niu.

Minister Niu nodded in satisfaction.

He took a bunch of keys from the wall and brought Li Aiguo to a warehouse not far from the office.

The key opened the rusty big iron lock, and with the sound of 'squeaking', the big iron door slowly opened.

Various weapons are placed on wooden shelves in the warehouse.

Pull seven, pull eight, ten rings, twenty rings, push wheel, thirteen pulls and other pistols, as well as rifle rifles, bronze guns, [-], [-], [-] rifles, card handle guns, Tom submachine guns, Czech light machine guns, Canadian heavy machine guns, etc.

The condition of the weapons is not very good, it is full of rust, and some are still incomplete, which should be eliminated from the army.

Li Aiguo saw two M1 81mm mortars in the corner.

The sun shines through the glass window on the black gun barrel, exuding a cold luster.

From a maintenance point of view, this thing must be easy to use.

As long as the shells are loaded in, the opposite wall can be knocked down.

Seeing Li Aiguo's eyes fixed on the mortar, Minister Niu quickly waved his hands: "That thing is not good, don't even think about it."

"If you want to be imprisoned, don't take me with you."

The idea of ​​firing a shot is about to fail.

Li Aiguo walked to the wooden shelf reluctantly, and began to change.

"Hey, the bazooka doesn't work either!"

"You seem like a good boy, why are you as greedy as Master Ni?"

"Only with a gun."

Reluctantly putting down the bazooka, Li Aiguo picked up a pistol.

Different from ordinary pistols, this pistol is extraordinarily large, and has a brown handle and silver-gray gun body, which looks extraordinarily mighty.

When Minister Niu saw Li Aiguo approaching with a pistol, a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes: "You have a good eye. This Colt M1911A1 pistol was captured by the soldiers of the 23rd Regiment from Task Force Smith."

"It is said that on the Burmese battlefield, the American devils used this pistol to shoot down the "Zero" fighter jet of the RB devils with four consecutive shots."

"This is the only one in our locomotive depot."

Li Aiguo fiddled with the pistol for a while, and suddenly thought of a key question: "Minister, do you have the matching bullets?"

"I'll take a look"

Minister Niu took out the notebook, rummaged through it for a while, and said with a smile: "You are lucky, there are exactly two hundred rounds of .45-inch Colt pistols in the warehouse."

Two hundred rounds of ammunition may not seem like much, but it is actually enough.

As a train driver, there are not many opportunities to actually shoot.

It's just that according to the regulations of the Ministry of Armed Forces, each driver can only receive 4 rounds of bullets each time.

Putting the bullet in the clip, Li Aiguo tried a few more shots on the shooting range under the gaze of Minister Niu.

The crisp sound of gunfire echoed in the air, and the bullet hit the bullseye.

"Okay, I have the demeanor of your master."

Minister Niu helped Li Aiguo complete the formalities.

From then on, Li Aiguo also has his own big gun.

Back at the Armed Forces Department, Li Aiguo was about to say goodbye to Minister Niu when a handsome woman came running from a distance.

The woman told Minister Niu in broken Mandarin that the child was sick, and she could not deliver food to Minister Niu at noon, so Minister Niu had to make do with it in the canteen of the locomotive depot.

"I know Xiaojin, you should send our son to the hospital quickly."

The woman nodded, looked at Li Aiguo, nodded slightly, and left in a hurry.

Seeing that the woman has a standard North Korean woman's face, and then contacting her surname Jin, and her broken Mandarin.

Li Aiguo somewhat understood why Minister Niu changed jobs early.

With a sigh in his heart, Li Aiguo chatted with Minister Niu for a while, then turned and walked to the finance department.

The pistol at his waist was heavy, and it bumped against the base of his thigh from time to time, making him uncomfortable.

Li Aiguo felt that he should get a holster and put the pistol on his belt.

It's just that this is a matter for the future, and his most important task now is to collect his salary.

This month's salary can be drawn before going to work. This sensational thing happened right in front of Li Aiguo.

Li Aiguo held 102 yuan in his hand, a stack of meal tickets, gas tickets, match tickets, and laundry tickets. He was so moved that he almost shed tears.

In contrast.

Those unscrupulous bosses who only paid last month's salary at the end of next month in the previous life.

He should have been hanged on a telephone pole.

The boss who paid wages before NO.20 can let him choose a shorter telegraph pole.

"Comrade, Comrade"

Seeing Li Aiguo's excited look, the finance department officer felt a little strange.

After calling him twice, he pointed to the receipt: "Comrade, please sign it."

"well."

After leaving the locomotive depot, Li Aiguo felt that the sky was extraordinarily blue, and the chirping of birds was extraordinarily pleasant.

With 102 yuan in his pocket, he has a sense of arrogance unique to later generations of ten thousand households.

With the money, we can build it with great strength!
Pedal bicycle to Chaoyang Vegetable Market.

It cost 2 cents to buy five catties of Chinese cabbage.

Then I went to the grain station to buy five catties of stick noodles for Aunt Liu next door.

Aunt Liu's legs and feet are inconvenient, so she will entrust Li Aiguo to help her buy food every half a month.

When I rode a tandem bicycle back to the courtyard, it was already lunch time, and the air was filled with the smell of food.

Walking to the door of Aunt Liu's house, Li Aiguo was secretly relieved that there was no signboard of Glory House on the lintel.

Both Liu Tianquan and Liu Diquan were workers of the exploration team. They were taken away from the mission three years ago, and the mission could not be announced to the public.

Even Aunt Liu didn't know where they were.

It can be seen that this task is not easy.

Reconnecting that this year is 1956, the matter of growing mushrooms in the Gobi Desert has already been put on the agenda.

They are likely to be exploring places to grow mushrooms in the Gobi Desert.

Or join the 519 Geological Exploration Team to search for uranium deposits in the frontier.

No matter which one it is, they are working at the risk of dying.

Li Aiguo collected his thoughts and knocked on Aunt Liu's door.

Aunt Liu was busy cooking, when she saw Li Aiguo standing outside with a cotton bag, she hurriedly invited Li Aiguo in.

"You child, the aunt has troubled you again."

"Look at what you said. Brother Tianquan and Brother Diquan are not at home. As neighbors, I should help."

Li Aiguo poured the cotton bag into the noodle jar, folded the bag, and put it in the canvas bag.

This thing can still be used next time.

At this time, Aunt Liu had already taken out fifty cents and a five-jin coarse grain ticket from her pocket.

"Son, you go on."

Li Aiguo was not polite either, took the food stamp and put it in his pocket.

He turned his head to see Erhe noodles on the table.

"Ma'am, Tianquan and the others send back so much money every month, you can definitely eat fine grains."

Aunt Liu smiled and said: "In old age, when the capital was in chaos, my seven brothers and sisters had no food, and I was the only one who survived."

"I'm getting old, and eating those fine grains is kind of messed up."

Li Aiguo was aware of Aunt Liu's temperament, so he didn't say anything more, turned around and went back to the house.
