Of course, Zhou Chen would not be arrogant because of his favor. He had a very positive attitude and packaged himself as a young man who had just entered the society to work. He was humble and polite, and pretended to be young and immature.
Captain Hu took Zhou Chen to chat about family matters for a while, reminiscing about the past, and then slowly got to the point.
"Zhou Chen, your father used to be an advanced backbone of our passenger police team and a hero of the police force. Your joining our passenger police team is like adding a capable person to our passenger police team. I am very happy. I believe that you will inherit your father's will and become an excellent passenger police."
Zhou Chen maintained a polite smile and listened to what the other person said. No wonder he could be a leader. He spoke so nicely.
Captain Hu praised you for a few words before saying, "Regarding your work, I have arranged it like this. There are several routes in our team. I remember that many people in the compound where you live are on the Ningha train line, so I plan to arrange you on the Ningha train line during working hours. The Ningha line is a long-distance route, and a round trip takes three or four days. What do you think?"
If it was an ordinary newcomer, Captain Hu would never make arrangements in such a consultative tone, but Zhou Chen's situation is different after all, and he must be taken care of internally, so he asked this question.
"I have no objection. I will follow the arrangements of the organization and Captain Hu."
Zhou Chen was very sensible. It didn't matter to him which route he was on. Besides, a train conductor's job was on the train. Three, four, five or six days didn't make much difference.
Moreover, the Ningha line is the route where Wang Xin and Ma Kui work as train police officers in the plot, and it is also the main line of the TV series plot, so this route is still good.
"it is good."
Captain Hu clapped his hands happily. Although it was just one sentence, he could see Zhou Chen's attitude. He knew that Zhou Chen was easy to get along with and easy to manage, which was enough for him as a leader.
"Then it's settled. The train I've chosen for you will depart in three days. You should stay in the team for the next few days, study hard, and do some office work."
"Yes, Captain Hu."
"Come on, I'll take you out to meet everyone."
Captain Hu took Zhou Chen out of the office and introduced him to his colleagues in the unit. Everyone was very enthusiastic. After all, they were all from the railway circle. The captain personally introduced people, so of course the people below had to give him face.
In front of his colleagues, Zhou Chen behaved very modestly, always calling them "brother" and "brother-in-law", and played the role of a newcomer in the workplace.
Today is
For two consecutive days, he worked in the flight police team, doing clerical work, and also got to know his colleagues in the office.
He didn't know much about the job of flight attendant before, but in the past two days, he has learned a lot.
He used to be a policeman. Compared with policemen, train attendants have relatively harder work, especially train attendants in this era, which are more tiring.
A passenger train needs about three to five conductors, one of whom is a captain and the rest are ordinary conductors. During the New Year and other holidays, one or two more may be added, but even so, it is still very busy.
After all, there are more than a dozen carriages, and people get on and off the train, so the flow of people is very large and complicated. I heard from my colleagues that it is actually very difficult to fully staff the train with train police. There are usually about three people, and they are absolutely overwhelmed when they are busy.
However, the Ningha train line is generally equipped with four train police officers, because this line is one of the largest railway lines at Ningyang Station and has the largest passenger flow.
Zhou Chen heard from his colleagues that the captain of the Harbin team on the Ningha line is Jiang Zhanxian, an experienced veteran conductor. Originally there were eight conductors in two shifts, but one had been transferred away not long ago. His arrival just made up for the shortfall.
After get off work, Zhou Chen bought some things. As soon as he walked into the compound, he saw Cai Xiaonian and Niu Dali standing together and talking.
"Zhou Chen, come here."
Cai Xiaonian called Zhou Chen over, looked up and down at Zhou Chen's blue police uniform and the national emblem cap, and said, "Look, this police uniform looks so straight and handsome on Zhou Chen."
Niu Dali looked at Zhou Chen, who was half a head taller than him, and said unconvincedly: "It would definitely look more handsome on me."
Zhou Chen teased, "Then I'll take it off and let you try it?"
It has been a few days since they came here, and they were already quite familiar with each other. Zhou Chen, Wang Xin and Cai Xiaonian all grew up in this compound and had known each other since childhood. Niu Dali had also been working there for a few years and had lived in this compound for a few years, and they worked on the same line, so naturally they had a very good relationship.
Zhou Chen also liked the living atmosphere of this compound. These days happened to be the rest time for Cai Xiaonian and Niu Dali, so they spent a lot of time chatting and bragging together.
"No, he's just jealous, leave him alone."
After some banter, Cai Xiaonian suddenly asked, "Zhou Chen, I heard from my dad that you were assigned to the Ningha line, or are you on the same shift as us?"
Zhou Chen nodded: "Yes, Harbin team, I will get on the bus tomorrow afternoon and set off with you."
"Oh my god, that's not right."
Niu Dali let out a strange cry, very happy: "We are on the same train, so we will be able to take care of you in the future. You just started working, if you need anything, just let us know, and we will definitely help."
Cai Xiaonian also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Dali and the others are at the front of the car, they may not be able to help you, but I can definitely help you, just come to me when the time comes."
Niu Dali is the fireman at the front of the train, and Cai Xiaonian is the conductor. They meet each other often, so they often need to cooperate with each other.
Zhou Chen did not refuse and replied with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely ask you for help when I need it."
Cai Xiaonian was so happy to hear this that he pulled Zhou Chen aside and started talking about his own experience.
In fact, he had just become a train conductor not long ago and was currently learning from his master Lu Hongxing.
Lu Hongxing was a train conductor on the Ningha Line and also lived in this compound, right next to Cai Xiaonian's home. Cai Xiaonian's father, Cai Danian, was a train driver and they were on the same train.
As they were talking, a woman came towards them. The moment he saw the woman, the noisy Niu Dali instantly transformed into a bootlicker.
From Niu Dali's changes, one can guess who this beautiful woman who wears fashionable and bright clothes and walks with the wind is.
Yao Yuling!
The unique woman in the railway compound is different from the vast majority of housewives of this era. She loves to dress up, pursues fashion and beauty, and would rather skip meals than not wear beautiful clothes. She is a "new era" independent woman.
After a few days, Zhou Chen had finished watching the TV series "Coming from South to North" and clearly knew the character and ending of Yao Yuling, the second female lead in the play.
What can I say about Yao Yuling?
There is no need to judge her from a moral high ground. After all, everyone has his or her own way of living. Whether she is vain or playing with Niu Dali's feelings, it is her own business. It is consensual and outsiders have no right to say anything.
Anyway, in Zhou Chen's opinion, there will be too many women like Yao Yuling in the future. His view is that it doesn't matter if you hate or like her, just maintain a neighborly relationship. There is no need to have too much contact, just ignore her appropriately.
"Yao'er."
Niu Dali instantly turned into a pug, surrounding Yao Yuling, his eyes glowing, with Yao Yuling the only one in his eyes.
Cai Xiaonian nudged Zhou Chen's arm and pursed his lips. Zhou Chen smiled knowingly and watched Niu Dali's performance.
"Yao'er, where have you been?"
Yao Yuling twisted her waist and picked up something in her hand: "I went to the store to buy some cloth and plan to ask Aunt Lu to make a dress."
Although Yao Yulin's performance in the play is not very pleasing, it has to be admitted that in this backward era, a woman like Yao Yulin who is beautiful, dresses well, and knows how to dress up is indeed very popular with men.
At least among the young people in this compound, there are few who don't like to look at Yao Yuling. Even the older men and women may not say it nicely on the surface, but in private, there are many people who appreciate her beauty and are full of envy.
Yao Yuling is the announcer of the Ningha Line trains. She came to this compound last year. As soon as she arrived, she became a celebrity in Ningyang Station and the compound.
Faced with Niu Dali's flattery, Yao Yuling quickly ignored it and turned to look at Zhou Chen, her eyes as watery and glowing slightly.
"Hey, Zhou Chen, I really didn't realize that you look much more energetic and handsome after putting on this outfit. Not bad, really good."
She had not been in this compound for long, and Zhou Chen had been studying in the police academy before. The two sides did not have many opportunities to interact with each other, and she did not pay much attention to Zhou Chen.
Today, when she saw Zhou Chen wearing a blue police uniform, with a tall and straight figure, neat and clean clothes, and a handsome face with sharp edges, she unexpectedly discovered that Zhou Chen, whom she had not paid much attention to before, actually had a unique charm.
Facing Yao Yuling's enthusiastic praise, Zhou Chen just smiled calmly: "Thank you."
However, when Niu Dali saw that Yao Yuling was attracted by Zhou Chen, he moved his feet and stood in front of Zhou Chen, blocking Yao Yuling's sight.
"Yao'er, you don't know that Zhou Chen will be on the same train tomorrow. He has also been assigned to the Ningha Line, and is on the same train as us."
"is it?"
Yao Yuling's eyes suddenly lit up. Although she was a broadcaster, it was a good thing for her to have an additional train attendant whom she knew and was familiar with on the train.
She turned her head and wanted to tell Zhou Chen to take care of her in the future, but as soon as she moved, Niu Dali moved with her, blocking her view the whole time, making her feel helpless.
"Niu Dali, get out of the way."
Pulling Niu Dali aside, Yao Yuling said to Zhou Chen with a smile, if they were on the same train in the future and needed help, they could just come to him directly and they would not be polite.
Zhou Chen smiled and nodded, then left them on the pretext of going back to cook.
Yao Yuling also wanted to go back, and Niu Dali followed closely behind: "Yao'er, Yao'er..."
The next day, Zhou Chen had just arrived at the unit for a while when Captain Hu called him to the office.
"Zhou Chen, come here, let me introduce you to an old comrade in our team, Lao Jiang, Jiang Zhanxian, who is also the captain of the Harbin team and your direct supervisor."
"Lao Jiang, he is the son of the old Zhou family, Zhou Chen. He was assigned to our team right after he graduated this year. I arranged for him to be in the Harbin team, so he can be regarded as taking over Lao Zhou's job."
Zhou Chen immediately stepped forward and saluted humbly, "Hello, Captain Jiang."
Jiang Zhanxian is a man who looks to be around 40 years old. Unlike Captain Hu, he does not have a smiling and gentle face. Instead, he looks quite cold and serious.
However, when he heard Captain Hu's introduction, he forced a smile on his face.
"The son of the Zhou family has grown up so much. Zhou Chen, your father and I are old colleagues. You don't have to be so reserved. Just call me uncle."
Zhou Chen took the opportunity to call out, "Uncle Jiang."
Seeing that Zhou Chen was very "spiritual", Jiang Zhanxian's smile became even gentler. The circle of railway police officers is not big or small. Zhou Chen's father passed away only a few years ago, and his old colleagues still remember him. They will definitely take care of him to the best of their ability.
We are all in the same circle. You help me, I help you, and that's how we build our network of relationships. After all, no one can guarantee that there won't be any accidents in the future. Maybe our descendants will also need someone to take care of them in the future?
Captain Hu said, "Zhou Chen, you just came to the police team, so you don't know much about the things on the train. Lao Jiang is the master I arranged for you. Your master has been in this line of work for more than ten years. He is experienced and has made countless contributions. You must learn from him well."
Zhou Chen immediately saluted to Jiang Zhanxian and shouted, "Master, please give me more guidance in the future."
Jiang Zhanxian patted Zhou Chen's arm with a smile and said kindly, "Well done, young man. Just like your father, you are a good candidate to be a police officer."
Putting aside other things, Zhou Chen's height of over 1.8 meters, broad shoulders, and strong back make him look powerful and imposing, and he looks capable of work; and from the few short sentences he just said, it can be seen that Zhou Chen is a smart and sharp-eyed young man.
Being a policeman, hard work and perseverance are the basis, but hard work alone is far from enough. Intelligence and dexterity are also important. As a flight attendant, dealing with people is even more essential, and naturally one must also be able to speak well.
Jiang Zhanxian had worked as a railway policeman for more than ten years and had a good eye for people. Apart from Zhou Chen's identity as a railway child, his first impression of Zhou Chen was also very good.
"Old Jiang, I'll leave Zhou Chen to you. Take him out with you this afternoon. This is his first time out, so please keep an eye on him."
"Don't worry, Captain Hu."
"Okay, then go get ready."
Zhou Chen followed Jiang Zhanxian out of Captain Hu’s office.
"Let's go to the locker room first. Have you got the locker key?"
"Yes, Master."
"We're going to be leaving in the afternoon. Have you prepared all the daily necessities?"
"It's ready. It's all in the box."
Jiang Zhanxian nodded with satisfaction. In fact, with his current qualifications, he no longer needed to accept apprentices. It was Captain Hu who personally told him this time that he agreed.
Originally he was worried that he had caused trouble, but now it seems that Zhou Chen's performance is very good and he doesn't seem to be the kind of newcomer that would cause people to worry.
Taking Zhou Chen to the locker room, Jiang Zhanxian fulfilled his responsibilities as a master and talked to Zhou Chen about getting in the car.
"This is your first time on the train, so you may not know the situation. Our round trip on the Ningha Line will take three or four days. During this time, we have to stay on the train. At most, we can get off the train to rest for a while when we arrive at the station. The rest of the time, we have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate on the train..."
This talk lasted for more than half an hour. Jiang Zhanxian explained every detail seriously, and emphasized some important points.
He saw that Zhou Chen was listening very seriously and kept taking notes in his notebook, having already written several pages. This attitude made him very satisfied.
When taking an apprentice, I am not afraid of if the apprentice is stupid, but I am afraid of those newcomers who are not serious, refuse to listen, are self-righteous and arrogant.
I can teach a stupid person slowly, but there is really nothing I can do if he has a bad attitude.
After having lunch in the cafeteria, when it was time to set off, Zhou Chen carried the suitcase that had been prepared long ago and followed Jiang Zhanxian to get on the bus.
In addition to Jiang Zhanxian and Zhou Chen, there were two other train attendants on this trip. Both of them are veterans of the train attendant team and have been working there for several years.
One of them, whom Zhou Chen had met and got to know in the past two days, was called Wang Ming. He was an experienced conductor who had worked for six years and was not yet 30 years old. The other one was called Yu Xingguo, who was 30 years old, a retired soldier, and had been in the conductor team for four years.
Train police officers can usually rest after each trip. Sometimes they need to work in the train police team even when they are not on the road. So in a month, some can rest for more than ten days, while others can rest for seven or eight days.
It seems that there is a lot of rest time, but in fact, every time you go out on a drive, you are working, and each time you work for several days in a row. The intensity is not low at all, but very high. If there is not enough rest time, even an iron man can't bear it.
Ningyang Station is an important hub in Northeast China. It is a large station with several important lines, so there are many passengers at Ningyang Station every day. Order needs to be maintained from the moment they enter the station, and it is even more chaotic when they get on the train.
Things are different now than they were decades ago. You could board the bus with your ID card and the inspection would be completed by a machine. Now ticket checking is completely manual, and the ways of boarding are also different.
Some enter through the carriage door, and some simply climb in through the window. There are only so many train attendants and police officers, so in most cases they cannot control them all, and they always need to check their tickets again after getting on the train.
When he arrived at the platform, Zhou Chen saw the neighbors from the compound preparing to get on the train, Cai Danian and Cai Xiaonian, father and son, Niu Dali, Wu Changgui, Lu Hongxing and others, and Yao Yulin's very recognizable voice was heard on the radio.
Zhou Chen followed his master Jiang Zhanxian and began to maintain order.
"Get in line, one by one, don't be in a hurry, take out your tickets."
"My child, comrade, please take good care of your child."
"Don't push, I went first."
"Hey, I'm talking to you, why are you pushing so hard..."
"Salute, you squeezed out my salute..."
Even with train police and conductors directing, there was still chaos when people boarded the train. Not only were there a lot of people, but they were all dragging boxes and carrying sacks. The door of the carriage was so small, and with everyone rushing in, how could it not be crowded?
