The train driver in the courtyard

This bunch of old friends has a characteristic - the louder they brag, the more cowardly they become.

By the time Li Aiguo helped the park and the neighborhood deal with the group of Zi Feng'er and Hua'er returned to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot Police Station, Zhou Ke had already obtained the confessions of the two.

"I didn't even ask two questions before these two people just gave up."

Li Aiguo took the transcript and took a look at it. The specific situation was similar to what Huang Chenglin had confessed.

In order to rush to his elder brother, Chaoyang threw a stone towards the tunnel.

The flower at Jianguomen played a certain instigative role nearby.

There's nothing new about these.

What surprised Li Aiguo was their true identities. It turned out that Chaoyang's surname was Zhu and his name was Zhu Weiba.

Zhu Weiba was originally the son of a small landlord in the suburbs of Beijing. Before liberation, his family property was squandered by his opium-smoking father, and he became a poor man.

Fortunately, he had seen the world before, and Zhu Weiba gathered a few little brothers together, becoming a boss. He usually made a living by stealing and standing up people.

There is a flower at Jianguomen named Liu Meili.

Before liberation, she was a concubine of a wealthy businessman.

After liberation, monogamy was implemented and she was driven out by the rich businessmen and started hanging out with the old gangsters on the street.

"Red Tail? That's an interesting name."

Zhu Weiba no longer had the aura of Lao Paoer. He sat on the chair, his whole body shaking and beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were full of fear and anxiety.

Hearing Li Aiguo's words, Zhu Weiba raised his head and said, "Report, it's nothing special. My father likes to eat pig tails, so he gave me this name when I was born."

Li Aiguo, another illiterate local tycoon, looked through the confession and seeing no loopholes, gave it to Zhou Ke and asked the two to sign and seal it.

"I can't read." Zhu Weiba's five fingers gripped the pen almost like a wooden stick. He felt that he had lost face for Lao Pao and looked at Li Aiguo embarrassedly.

"Then draw a circle."

Zhu Weiba took a deep breath, grasped the pen and drew a circle on it.

Perhaps because he was extremely nervous, he drew an extra tail when he was finishing his stroke, which made him very upset.

“Can I redraw it?”

Zhou Ke ignored him and put the confession into the file bag.

Zhu Weiba had no choice but to suppress his frustration in his heart and looked at Li Aiguo cautiously: "Leader, how many years do I think I will be sentenced to?"

"Several years. At least twenty years!"

These words sounded like a bolt of thunder in Zhu Weiba's ears.

"Boss, please stop joking. I just smashed the car window and injured someone.

I am willing to pay the money and admit my mistakes. In a situation like this, I will only stay in prison for two years at most. Do you think I don’t understand the law?”

A little thug who knows the law?
Li Aiguo looked at Zhu Weiba's smug face in surprise, then he understood after thinking about it carefully.

These gangsters have had many dealings with the police, so they must know more than the general public.

"You do know the law, but not much, only a little. Do you know what your actions are?"

Li Aiguo walked out from behind the table, walked up to Zhu Weiba, leaned over and said coldly: "You are deliberately destroying railway facilities and the economic lifeline of the country. Your behavior is no different from that group of Diet!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Weiba's face changed and he stammered, trying to explain, but he didn't know how.

Li Aiguo didn't mean to exaggerate.

But if Zhu Weiba's behavior is not severely punished.

The bunch of idiots followed suit and, in order to show off their bravery, they also imitated Zhu Weiba and smashed the car windows.

Then the train driver doesn't have to drive.

After all, you can't build walls on both sides of the railway.

Therefore, when such a situation occurs on the railway, strong measures will be taken to serve as a warning to others.

Li Aiguo did not feel that Zhu Weiba was wronged as he only knew a little bit of the law.

The bad things he did in the past are secondary. The key point is that this guy has many "disciples" in the capital.

Those young people who are in confusion may be able to get on the right track.

As a result, he dragged you into being a "bubble kid", which ruined your life.

After Zhu Weiba and Liu Meili were taken away, Li Aiguo reported his thoughts to Duan Nei.

Section Chief Xing said that this case was a well-known case on the railway, and even if Li Aiguo had not proposed it, the higher-ups would have decided to impose severe punishment.

Li Aiguo and Zhou Kezhe pleaded for Huang Chenglin, and Director Xing said he would report the relevant situation to the bureau.

Although the case was not serious, it had a very bad impact, so the Beijing City Bureau adhered to the principle of quick and strict treatment and dealt with the offenders.

The main culprit, Zhu Weiba, deliberately destroyed railway transportation equipment. The circumstances were serious and the impact was extremely bad. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

The accomplice Liu Meili instigated others to destroy railway transportation equipment. The circumstances were serious and the impact was extremely bad. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

The accomplice Huang Chenglin was misled by the principal due to his youth and ignorance, and he took the initiative to confess after the incident, so he was sentenced to one year of labor education.

After the verdict came down, Old Man Huang personally brought five pounds of eggs to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot to thank Li Aiguo and Zhou Ke.

Li Aiguo pushed the eggs back and said, "Dad, we are doing our job impartially. If we take your eggs, the nature of our actions will change."

Zhou Ke also said: "Yeah, you don't want us to stay in jail for a few years, do you?"

"Good people, all of them are good people."

Old Man Huang was somewhat moved. He wiped his eyes and put the egg back.

Just when Li Aiguo thought that he was going to leave and stood up to see him out, Huang Laodi grabbed Li Aiguo's arm and whispered, "Leader, I know that my child has been given a lighter punishment this time, but he has to undergo labor education for a year. Life in there must be so hard. Can you show some leniency?"

Old Man Huang was halfway through his words when he felt embarrassed to continue.

But because he loved his son so much, he still looked at Li Aiguo with a wry smile.

Li Aiguo said slowly: "Uncle, you are confused."

"Confused?"

"Think about it, if we release Huang Chenglin now, will he continue to hang out with those hooligans on the street?"

Old Man Huang stopped talking.

Li Aiguo went on to say, "Huang Chenglin received one year of labor education, which was equivalent to the government educating him for you for one year. After one year, he completely changed his bad habits and returned home to work and live a good life. You will never find such a good thing even if you search with a lantern."

".It's true." Old Man Huang came to his senses and smiled awkwardly: "Comrade leader, I am really old and confused. Please don't take it personally."

"No way."

Watching the thin figure of Huang Lao disappear in the bleak autumn wind outside, Zhou Ke sighed: "Poor parents in the world"

Li Aiguo looked at Zhou Ke in surprise: "Maybe you will be sad?"

"No way, I just think that Old Man Huang is too pitiful." Zhou Ke quickly turned his head away.

Li Aiguo smiled and said nothing.

Ever since Zhou Ke had a child, he has become much calmer. In the past, in a situation like this, he would never plead for Huang Chenglin.

Thinking of the children, Li Aiguo realized that the things at hand were almost done, so he prepared to ride his bicycle home to chat with Miss Chen.

A while ago, a comrade from the Women's Federation reminded Li Aiguo that pregnant women are prone to mood swings and family members should pay more attention to them.

Before he left the maintenance depot, he was stopped by Yan Jiecheng, who was sent by Director She from the Education Office.

"Brother Aiguo, Director She wants you to come over."

Well, it seems that Miss Chen will have to wait a little longer.

Li Aiguo pushed his bicycle and came to the education room with Yan Jiecheng.

Director She, Huang Shuxian and several other staff members were all gathered in the office.

Seeing Li Aiguo coming in, Director She stood up from his chair and greeted him warmly.

"Comrade Aiguo, my aunt has run into a problem and I want to ask you for advice."

"Aunt She, please tell me what you have to say. As long as I can help, I will definitely not stand idly by." Li Aiguo shook hands with Director She with a smile.

Director She said, "It's because of the case you handled that the General Administration asked us to vigorously publicize the case to deter those hooligans from planning to steal trains again in the future."

Director She explained it in detail and Li Aiguo understood it.

Solving the case is not the goal; the goal is to prevent similar cases from happening again.

The General Administration then handed over the propaganda and education work to the Education Office of Qianmen Locomotive Depot.

It’s just that the Education Office is usually good at doing propaganda and education work within the section, and is not really familiar with the local areas. For a moment, I didn’t know how to complete the task of the General Administration.

The families of other staff members in the education room also come from the railway crossing.

In the words of later generations, an information cocoon was formed, which made it easy to handle matters on the railway, but at a loss when it came to dealing with local matters.

As a train driver, Li Aiguo doesn't want to be driving a big train happily and suddenly be hit by a brick, so he naturally has to do his best.

“Okay, let’s post the verdict in every vegetable market and neighborhood in Beijing.

You can also communicate with various street offices and ask them to help with publicity work.

As long as the residents of the capital city know that hitting a train will have serious consequences, our educational goal will be achieved."

Several ideas proposed by Li Aiguo were immediately approved by Director She.

In particular, the method of posting the judgment is simple to operate and has quick results.

"We have a large piece of rice paper in our education room, and we can write the verdict now."

Li Aiguo suggested: "It would be better to put a red stamp on the verdict. Use large paper and write in large characters."

In those days, a red stamp was a symbol of authority. Director She was aware of this and nodded in agreement.

Well, the notice made according to Li Aiguo’s method is similar to the propaganda posters of later generations.

The Education Office is good at making "propaganda posters" and can produce more than a dozen in a short time.

Li Aiguo and Yan Jiecheng were about to return to the Nantongluo Lane neighborhood, so they took six copies of the "poster" and posted them in the neighborhood.

Li Aiguo was about to leave when he rolled up the "poster" into a tube and held it in his hand. Yan Jiecheng suddenly raised his hand and said, "Director, we are helping your Education Department. Do you have any reward?"

Director She was confused.

The staff in the Education Office were also confused.

Generally speaking, it is normal for railway employees to help each other, and no one has ever mentioned rewards.

How can this person's ideological awareness be so low? !

Li Aiguo couldn't help but slap his forehead. This guy's old problem came back again.

"Director, Comrade Yan Jiecheng has been learning calligraphy recently. I would like to ask if you have any waste paper here that can be used for practicing calligraphy."

"So that's it."

Director She's expression finally eased, and she asked Huang Shuxian to get a large bag of waste paper and hand it to Yan Jiecheng. Yan Jiecheng also realized that he seemed to have done something wrong.

After carrying the waste paper out of the education room, he touched Li Aiguo's shoulder.

"Brother Aiguo, can I not ask for wages for helping out in the education room?"

".What do you think?"

Li Aiguo stopped and looked at Yan Jiecheng: "Last time we held a meeting in our section, we temporarily changed the venue.

According to the regulations, as a correspondent, you have to notify those attending the meeting one by one.

You won't be able to complete the task on time even if you run yourself ragged.

There were several hundred people there, and it was the comrades from the Education Office who collectively mobilized to resolve the problem. They asked you if you had asked for your labor remuneration?"

"."Yan Jiecheng was speechless.

Seeing Li Aiguo walking away, he hurriedly followed him and handed the waste paper to Li Aiguo: "Brother Aiguo, these waste papers are for you!"

Li Aiguo: "."

He was a little shocked by Yan Jiecheng's generosity.

In the end, Li Aiguo confiscated the waste paper from Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng was happy while holding the waste paper.

I'll take it to the junk shop later and sell it for a dime, enough to buy Yu Li a flowery hairband.

Today is the weekend. Chen Xueru finally got a day off and originally planned to go shopping with Li Aiguo.

As a result, this rough guy went out early in the morning and had not returned until dark.

This made Chen Xueru a little depressed, but fortunately Aunt Liu and He Yushui both came to the Li family, and the three of them planned together how to make small clothes, which helped them pass the boring time.

At this time, Yan Jiecheng suddenly ran over and knocked on the door.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Aiguo asked me to get the paste."

"paste?"

"Brother Aiguo has accepted the task in the section and needs to post notices."

Yan Jiecheng briefly explained the matter, and Chen Xueru immediately perked up.

"Just wait, I'll stir up the mess."

The pastes these days are all handmade. A little flour or rice flour, a certain proportion of water, and a little charcoal fire are all needed to make a lot of paste.

Every year when putting up Spring Festival couplets, every household has to make some paste, and Chen Xueru is also an expert at it.

He Yushui also came forward to help, and Aunt Liu helped to light the fire. After a short while, they had boiled a pot of paste.

When Chen Xueru and He Yushui arrived at the gate of the courtyard with basins, there were already quite a few people gathered outside the courtyard.

Liu Haizhong, the third uncle, Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu all came over curiously as they watched Li Aiguo stick the large white paper on the wall with paste.

"Patriotism, what does it say here?" Liu Haizhong asked curiously.

Li Aiguo put up the big white paper, turned around and pointed at the Third Uncle: "Third Uncle, you are the one in charge, read it to everyone."

As the most educated person at the scene, the third uncle had long wanted to show his face.

I thought to myself that this child is really sensible.

He walked to the notice with his hands behind his back and read aloud: "Railway Transport Court Verdict: Zhu Weiba, male, 45 years old, illiterate, from a small landlord family. Because of intentional and serious circumstances, he was sentenced to years in prison.

Liu Meili, female, 28 years old, primary school education, from a poor family. The circumstances were aggravated, so she was sentenced to years in prison.

Presiding Judge: Zhou Dashan

Vice Presiding Judge: Hu Zhengxin
Assistant Judge: Luo Yi
Clerk: Qian Weiran

This case has been submitted to the Railway Transport Court of the Beijing Railway Bureau, and the Railway Transport Court has approved it and no appeal is allowed.

January 2, 1958 in the Gregorian calendar.

Red stamp.

"

In the past, even if a criminal’s crime was to be announced, it was just a written notice.

This time, there is indeed a complete judgment from the Railway Transport Court.

The bright red spots were reflected in the sunlight and into the eyes of the onlookers, and they all couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

"One was sentenced to thirty years, and the other was sentenced to twenty years. Isn't this too serious?"

"You know what? Their actions are to destroy railway facilities, which is just as bad as what Dieter did."

"From now on, we have to keep an eye on those rascals and keep them away from the train."

Jia Zhang, who was hiding in the crowd, was also startled.

He was sentenced to thirty years in prison just for smashing a window. Aren’t these guys on the railway too cruel?
As the manager, Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to step forward and say a few words, but when he heard the number thirty years and twenty years respectively, he thought of the past and his face turned pale.

"Yi Zhonghai, you are a great man, come on, tell us about it."

Li Aiguo saw Yi Zhonghai turning around to leave and waved at him.

“This is your railway business.”

Yi Zhonghai hesitated and was unwilling to come forward. Yan Jiecheng rolled his eyes and pushed him to the front from behind: "Uncle, you should give everyone a lesson to prevent the residents in our compound from making mistakes."

Yi Zhonghai was forced to do something he could only suppress his frustration and said, "Ahem, railways are related to the construction of our motherland, they are very important, everyone please don't destroy the railways in the future."

If it were in the past, if he had the opportunity to show up in front of everyone, Yi Zhonghai would definitely quote from classics, stand at a height of at least 200 meters, and give everyone an ideological education meeting for at least an hour.

But at this moment he was like an ant on a hot pan. He stammered a few words, then made the excuse of taking medicine and turned around and ran into the yard.

This damn Li Aiguo is so abominable that he actually wants to threaten me with the Railway Court!

As the second uncle, Liu Haizhong would definitely replace Yi Zhonghai's position in the past, but this time he kept silent.

Yan Jiecheng asked him with a smile: "Second uncle, don't you want to say a few words?"

"No, no, I only have primary school education, how can I teach you guys?"

After saying this, Liu Haizhong ran away in shame without waiting for everyone to react.

Just kidding, I feel scared just thinking about the thirty-year sentence coming out of my own mouth.

The effect of posting "posters" in the courtyard is very good.

No matter how naughty or reckless a guy is, he will hesitate again and again when facing a thirty-year sentence.

Li Aiguo took Chen Xueru and He Yushui with him to post "posters" in seven or eight places in the neighborhood, including the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, the entrance of the scrap shop, and the entrance of the street office.

After posting "posters" and doing publicity work, it was already six o'clock in the evening when we returned to the gate of the courtyard.

By this time it was getting dark.

Li Aiguo was just about to go home to cook egg noodles when he heard the sound of a donkey cart in the distance.

Turning my head, I saw a donkey cart swaying towards me from a distance, and the driver was a middle-aged man dressed as a commune member.

He leaned against the cart, walked to the gate of the courtyard and gently pulled the reins, and the donkey stopped steadily.

Xu Jixiang and his mother got off the donkey cart and thanked the driver.

"His second uncle, I'm sorry to bother you this time."

"Old Xu, look at what you are saying. Your daughter-in-law is pregnant. Your family has a successor. We, the villagers, are also happy."

The driver took a cigarette from Xu Jixiang's hand, waved his whip, and the donkey cart jumped away.

Xu Jixiang turned around and saw Li Aiguo.

"Oh, it's patriotism, taking a walk?"

"Just got back from work." Li Aiguo raised the paste in his hand and looked Xu Jixiang and Xu's mother up and down: "Did you just come back from the countryside? Is it because of your daughter-in-law's pregnancy?"

"Of course not, come on, Aiguo, come and have some big red dates." The old wrinkles on Xu Jixiang's face were smoothed out now. He reached into the sack and grabbed a handful of red dates.

Li Aiguo was shocked when he saw the red dates and quickly claimed that he had a stomachache and refused.

The last time I heard Xu Damao say that the red dates in his family had a strange smell, I, Li Aiguo, was really worried that Xu Jixiang had some bad habits.

Xu Jixiang was in a hurry to go back at this time, so he didn't say anything and rushed into the yard with Xu's mother.

"Da Mao, Dad is back."

Li Aiguo looked at their backs and shook his head with a smile. Xu Jixiang and Xu's mother were back, and the courtyard was about to become lively again.

It was already past six o'clock in the evening when Li Aiguo returned home and cooked two bowls of tomato and egg noodles.

The tomatoes are grown by myself in the greenhouse, the eggs are country eggs, the flour is refined white flour, sprinkled with green onions and a little sesame oil, the taste is delicious.

"Are you trying to make me a fat girl?" Chen Xueru didn't have a big appetite to begin with, but she couldn't resist the delicious food and gulped down a big bowl of it.

She felt the noodles were about to reach her throat.

"You're eating for one person now, but it's for two people, so naturally you have to eat more. If you think you've eaten too much, let's go for a walk in the park later."

After Li Aiguo tied on an apron and washed the dishes, he gave up his plan to paint and took Chen Xueru out of the house.

Just walked to the middle courtyard.

Then Xu Jixiang's angry voice was heard: "Who is the one who gave birth to a son without an asshole and is spreading rumors behind my back? Get out here!"

Well, less than two hours after Lao Xu returned to the courtyard, the fight started.

Now that there was a good show to watch, Miss Chen didn't care about going for a walk anymore. She grabbed Li Aiguo's arm and shook it: "Let's go later?"

"."

Alas, all women have a gossipy heart.

Li Aiguo had no choice but to stop.

At this time, all the residents in the compound were alarmed. Many people didn't know that Xu Jixiang had returned, and were surprised to see him.

"Brother Xu, why are you back?"

"My daughter-in-law is pregnant, which is a big event for our Xu family. I came back with some things to take a look. Who would have thought that as soon as I entered the compound, I heard people gossiping behind my back."

Xu Jixiang pointed at the entrance of the Jia family and said sarcastically, "Don't think I can do nothing to you just because you hide in the house. You are a coward, right? Well, I will report it to the street office later and let the comrades in the street office handle it."

After hearing the report to the Street Office, Yi Zhonghai and the third uncle, who were hiding aside, became nervous.

Yi Zhonghai walked forward and patted Xu Jixiang on the shoulder with a smile: "Old Xu, what's the matter? Is there anything that can't be solved by us, the managers?"

"Well, Lao Yi, you came just in time." Xu Jixiang said angrily, "Someone is slandering my daughter-in-law behind her back, saying that the baby in her belly is not my Xu Damao's!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became awkward.

There have indeed been similar rumors circulating in the courtyard in recent days.

But everyone was talking behind the scenes.

Now Xu Jixiang is out in the open!
