The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 81

Under the bright starlight, riding a tandem bicycle.

Follow the dim lights and return to the courtyard.

Inside the compound.

The broken windows of every house cast warm light.

The bursts of laughter and laughter that came out from the gaps in the windows floated in the air.

It has quite a taste of the quiet years.

After experiencing the dangers on the train, Li Aiguo felt more and more that the safe life today is hard-won.

The big guy can live peacefully for a long time, because there are countless people behind you, carrying the burden for you to move forward.

Picking up the bicycle and stepping over the threshold, Li Aiguo was about to walk to the backyard.

A figure sprang out from the darkness, blocking his way.

"Patriotic, you came back really late."

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses frame, and the small eyes behind the tortoiseshell frame blinked.

Li Aiguo frowned: "You don't sleep at night, you block the way to play, third master, you're doing well now, don't pick up trash, and become a robber instead?"

Since Li Aiguo has a [Criminal Investigation Skill] of 61 points, everyone looks like a bad guy.

Bang.
The third master felt a heavy iron hat being put on his head, and he forgot what he said when he reached his mouth.

He took a step back in fright and waved his hands: "Patriotic, this is really not nonsense."

"Since I don't block the road and rob, I have to go back to sleep, so let's see you again."

Li Aiguo was pushing his bicycle to the backyard.

Yan Bugui's eyes lit up when he saw the bulging canvas bag on the back seat of the bicycle.

Trot came up, reaching out to grab the canvas bag.

"Patriotic, what good things are in your pocket? Is it a special product brought back from other places?"

As the co-driver, Li Aiguo's father often brought back souvenirs from other places.

It's just that before they can be sent to the pigeon market to earn the price difference, they are divided up by these people in the courtyard at a 'normal price'.

The bicycles and radio boxes of Yan Bugui's family, the wine bottles of Liu Haizhong's family, the eggs of Yi Zhonghai's family, and the painkillers of Jia Zhang's family are all due to Li Aiguo's father.

At this time, Yan Bugui was already thinking about what exactly the souvenir Li Aiguo brought back.

If it is food, it can make a lot of money by sending it to the pigeon market.

Recently, food in the capital has become more and more scarce, and the price of food in the pigeon market has risen a lot.

Unfortunately.

Li Aiguo is not Li's father, and will not let these people exploit him.

"Third Master, the things in the bag have nothing to do with you. If you really want to be a robber, you can open it and have a look."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Pugui, who was full of joy and dreaming of getting rich, had already stretched out his hand to the mouth of the canvas bag, and was stunned in the air.

Just kidding, everyone has seen Shazhu's fate.

In the past, Shazhu was blah blah in the courtyard, often bullying the residents.

Sometimes they even beat Xu Damao so hard that he couldn't get out of bed.

Because of the shelter of the deaf old lady and Yi Zhonghai, he was not punished.

When he met Li Aiguo, Sha Zhu was caught blind and was directly arrested by the railway police station.

The deaf old lady has gotten better in the past two days, and she is looking for the leader everywhere with a cane, trying to rescue Silly Zhu.

Ran and egg.

Railway police stations are not subject to local jurisdiction, and those leaders can't speak.

"I just saw a fly in the bag and helped you get rid of it."

Yan Bugui withdrew his hand embarrassingly.

While talking, he pretended to see the fly and slapped it in the air.

This old boy is really cute.

Li Aiguo slandered a few words, pushed the bicycle and continued walking.

Looking at his back, Yan Bugui always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.

Until the third mother reminded him: "Old Yan, didn't you say that you want to talk to Li Aiguo about our family going to work in the locomotive depot?"

"Hey, I'm so focused on making extra money that I forgot about the business."

Yan Bugui patted his forehead, almost remorseful.

Li Aiguo is not stingy.

In this day and age, it's not easy for everyone.

It is normal for neighbors to help each other and help each other.

Li Aiguo would not mind lending some food if someone really couldn't get rid of it.

However, if in the name of 'helping', you are calculating others.

I'm sorry, Li Aiguo refused to accept it.

Go back to the backyard, push open the dilapidated wooden door, and turn on the electric light.

I was about to cook a bowl of gruel, but found that the coal stove had been extinguished long ago.

Well, if you don't come back for a day, it's strange if you don't die.

Li Aiguo looked at the cold coal stove and scratched his head.

If possible, pots and stoves should be installed in the house.

Thinking that I haven't had dinner yet, I can only carry the coal stove to the door.

The door next door opened suddenly.

He Yushui came out and said to Li Aiguo, "Brother Aiguo, my mother has something to ask for you."

Li Aiguo put down the tongs and walked into the house.

"Ma'am, what's the matter?"

Aunt Liu came out of the kitchen with a plate of steamed buns: "Patriotic, you haven't eaten yet, come on, let's have a bite first."

Just as Li Aiguo was about to refuse, He Yushui blinked and said, "Brother Aiguo, I saw that your coal stove went out."

"That's fine, I'll take advantage of you."

Li Aiguo took the wowotou, and Aunt Liu handed over another salted duck egg: "You are growing up now, so you need to nourish your body."

Li Aiguo hesitated for a moment, took it without saying a word, and began to eat.

Aunt Liu sat down beside him, and said slowly: "Patriotic, what happened a while ago is over, it's over."

"You are still young, and the good days ahead are still to come."

"Don't drill into a dead end."

Li Aiguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Auntie, why did you mention this so politely?"

Aunt Liu pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Brother Aiguo, someone is spreading the word in the compound today that you will never forget your old love for the little daughter-in-law of the Jia family." He Yushui whispered beside him.

Li Aiguo is happy.

Unexpectedly, if he was not in the yard for a day, someone would gossip behind his back.

"Mother, don't listen to their nonsense, Qin Huairu and I have long since broken up, and we will never see each other again."

"That's good, that's good, thinking about other people's wives is not what a good person should do."

Aunt Liu said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, yesterday I met Boss Chen from the silk shop on the street."

"Mom, it's a new society now, you can't be called the boss." He Yushui reminded.

"That's right, it's Manager Chen." Aunt Liu narrowed her eyes and said, "Manager Chen has a daughter who is twenty-eight years old. She is very beautiful and has a rich family background. She is planning to find someone else."

"If you think it's appropriate, my aunt will go and tie you up."

Li Aiguo finally understood at this meeting, Aunt Liu talked so much, so it was just to match him.

In this era, Li Aiguo has two wishes.

One is to do a great cause and change some humiliating events in later generations.

The second is that the wife and children are hot on the kang.

The wife is definitely going to marry, but not now.

He has just become a train driver, and the big train has not driven enough, how can he get married.

"Auntie, I appreciate your kindness, but I just took over and don't want to think about marriage."

Seeing Li Aiguo's resolute attitude, Aunt Liu shook her head regretfully.

"That girl looks like a fairy, you are unlucky if you are patriotic."

"That's right, I've seen the girl from the Chen family, she's prettier than the most beautiful girl in our courtyard." He Yushui also chimed in.

"Okay, I'm full. Thank you for the steamed bread and duck eggs. I'll send you some Xiaozhan rice tomorrow."

Li Aiguo wiped his mouth and ran away quickly.

He'd rather face vicious gangsters than deal with two women who care about you.

Back under the roof.

Finding firewood from the house, Li Aiguo started to work beside the coal stove.
