Chapter 185 Yi Zhonghai’s godson
The accumulation process of original capital.
Always boring and boring.
Especially cleaning up the house costs a lot of money.
It turns out that Li Aiguo’s ‘decoration’ budget was only thirty yuan.
Separate a room, build a stove, paint the house, and make it habitable.
But.
With the sincere "suggestions" from Captain Liu of the Locomotive Depot Construction Team, an experienced expert.
Adhere to the "one step to get it right" guideline.
Adhere to the development idea of "it can be used as a wedding room".
Implement the new development concept of “not settling”.
Li Aiguo bravely transformed into the "Money Adding Party".
The "renovation" budget skyrocketed.
It’s close to fifty yuan now.
Li Aiguo feels like he was renovating a house in his previous life.
In the following days, he lived a life of three points and one line.
Wake up in the dormitory in the locomotive depot early in the morning.
Drive to Jincheng.
After returning to the capital, throw down the goods brought back from Jincheng and return to the dormitory again.
In my spare time, I occasionally return to the courtyard to "inspect" the decoration of the house.
On this day, we returned to Beijing from Jincheng.
Li Aiguo got a bucket of "sanitary skirts" from the warehouse of the Materials Department.
The so-called "sanitary skirt" is the waterproof paint and coating of later generations, which is a chemical product.
Brushing on the wall skirt can prevent the wall from peeling off.
And it is smooth and delicate, just like the imitation porcelain paint of later generations.
Chemical products in this era are extremely expensive.
Although it was in the warehouse of the locomotive depot, Li Aiguo received the "internal employee price", and a bucket of "sanitary skirts" still cost him nearly five yuan.
Li Aiguo rode a tandem bicycle back to the courtyard.
The construction team workers are busy inside the house.
All the underground bricks have been uncovered, and the workers are working in full swing.
"Captain Liu, we got the 'sanitary skirt'."
Seeing Li Aiguo come in carrying a plastic bucket, Captain Liu's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Driver Li, I just want to give you a small suggestion. I didn't expect you to actually get this thing."
Li Aiguo: "."
He is a little bit right now. Want to say something dirty.
Captain Liu is now similar to the decoration boss of later generations, only responsible for deception.
Captain Liu took the plastic bucket, opened the lid, sighed in admiration, and began to call the workers to paint.
A strong smell suddenly filled the room.
Although it is not pungent to the nose, it does not smell bad either.
“Don’t worry, sanitary skirts are just like this. Just wait a few days for the smell to dissipate.” Captain Liu explained.
This is something that Su Guo experts painted in the dormitory, so there should be no problem.
Seeing that it was still a while before the construction workers got off work, Li Aiguo was not in a hurry to return to the locomotive depot.
I took out half a box of large front doors from my clothes pocket, spread them around, crossed my legs, and started smoking comfortably.
Amidst the laughter and smoke, his thoughts began to wander.
When the house is finished, he has to consider personal issues.
When Zhang Gangzhu next door was his age, his children were all running around.
If you get married late, you may not be able to realize your dream of starting a football team.
“Holy shit!”
Li Aiguo, who had not finished smoking a cigarette, accidentally glanced out the window, was startled and almost dropped the cigarette butt to the ground.
Outside the window, I saw a bunch of old women and young wives lying on the window sill of his house with their eyes wide open and their mouths open, like zombies besieging the city.
When Li Aiguo walked out of the house, the group of old women and young wives rushed over.
Li Aiguo finally saw the strength of the third aunt.
I saw her left arm pulling away the Zhang family aunt, and her right hand holding the Wang family's young wife's clothes. Like a loach, she squirmed left and right, forcing her way out of the crowd and blocking Li Aiguo's path. in front of.
It seems that the third aunt often grabs cheap vegetables at the vegetable market.
“Third aunt, what are you doing?”
“Aiguo, I think you have no use for that plastic bucket. It’s a hindrance if you keep it at home, so I’ll put some effort into helping you. Lost it?" The third aunt pretended not to care, but her dark eyes were full of expectation.
Good guy, no wonder the third aunt squatted in front of the door and stared at him.
It turned out to be a plastic bucket.
“I really can’t give you a plastic bucket.
First of all, it contains chemical paint. Even if it is washed clean, it may be toxic.
Secondly, this bucket is specially made and needs to be recycled and returned after use. ”
Li Aiguo was really afraid of poisoning Yan Bugui’s family. Yan Bugui took his wife and children to live in his house and refused to leave.
Well, blackmailing is more common in this era. Few, but Yan Bugui can definitely do it.
“Oh, who wants your bucket? I just want to help you. If you don’t need it, forget it. "The third aunt muttered with some disappointment, and left with her hands behind her back.
The old ladies and young wives behind her also looked disappointed, shook their heads and left.
So big Plastic buckets are most suitable for holding water.
Li Aiguo looked at their backs and laughed and laughed.
This is the style of the courtyard.
When I want to take advantage, I will often do it under the guise of helping you
At this time, there was a burst of noise from the middle courtyard.
“Congratulations, congratulations, Lao Yi, you can be considered a grandson now.”
“Thank you, Director Zhang, it’s really a blessing that you can come today. ”
Yi Zhonghai has a grandson?
Having not returned to the courtyard for a few days, Aunt Yi is pregnant?
No way. Even if Union Medical College treats infertility, it cannot be so fast!
The person he is looking for is the director of the Red Cross Hospital?
Li Aiguo was wondering when Xu Damao came out of the room yawning.
His skin was sallow, the smoke rings were thick, and his whole person was lifeless, as if he had indulged in too much.
When Xu Damao saw Li Aiguo, his eyes lit up and he ran over: "Aiguo, are you back?"
Oh, as soon as I opened my mouth, I smelled of heather.
Something's wrong. There are no heathers in the capital this season.
Li Aiguo looked Xu Damao up and down: "Da Mao, I haven't seen you for a few days. Why are you like this? You stole from someone else's house at night?"
"How could you?! I, Damao, are from Don’t steal anything.”
Xu Damao felt guilty and scratched his head in embarrassment.
He did not steal from others;
After going on a blind date with Lou Xiaoe, in order to marry the eldest daughter of the Lou family as soon as possible, under the care of Director Lou, I became the leader of the Publicity Department.
Xu Damao was honest for a while.
But.
Taishan is easy to move, but nature is hard to change.
That stuff is addictive.
After Xu Damao held it in for a while, he couldn't bear it anymore.
However.
We Damao is also a smart person.
In order to avoid gossiping about the old woman and the young wife.
We Damao spent money this time to find professionals to solve our personal problems.
He went to the pimp alley to find Xiao Fengxian, who was half-hidden, to exchange learning experiences.
It took me a full day and night to study.
Even the old scalper was exhausted, let alone Xu Damao's small body.
Can it be true?
In order to change the subject, Xu Damao pointed at the Intermediate Court: "Patriot, have you heard? Yi Zhonghai is going to put aside his stick and become his grandson."
"Really?"
Li Aiguo cannot be ignored. Nods no.
In the original work, Jia Dongxu and Shazhu are both candidates for Yi Zhonghai’s retirement.
Now that Shazhu is imprisoned in the locomotive depot police station, only Jia Dongxu can be relied upon. Yi Zhonghai will naturally hold on to Jia Dongxu.
The more a person lacks something, the more he wants to prove something!
The more a person lacks something, the more he loves to show off!
In psychology, this is called psychological defense.
There is a saying in rural areas: shout slogans loudly, and girls will sleep under the covers.
It’s all the same.
Yi Zhonghai talks about benevolence, justice, morality, and uniting the masses.
In fact, he is extremely selfish at heart.
In the original work.
This era was just after liberation and a tragic war, and there were many orphans in the orphanage.
Yi Zhonghai can definitely adopt a child in an orphanage.
But.
He is not willing to spend money and energy on cultivating children.
Jia Dongxu died.
To be honest, Yi Zhonghai is an eighth-level fitter with high salary and high status.
As long as he puts it forward, other disciples will definitely be willing to support him in his old age.
However.
He still didn't want to.
Afraid of being eaten out.
You can know it from how he treated Si Zhu later.
Yi Zhonghai doesn’t want to raise children, doesn’t want to take responsibility, doesn’t want to give, he just wants to be a father and let others take care of him in his old age.
I just want to take advantage and don’t want to pay. How can there be such a beautiful thing in the world?
Who wants to live a good life and find himself a father?
So Yi Zhonghai is extremely insecure in his heart and has a very strong desire to control.
Various means must be used to contain the elderly.
He was very kind to Jia Dongxu and helped Jia Dongxu out in the compound many times, but he was unwilling to teach Jia Dongxu his skills.
Just to prevent Jia Dongxu from leaving his protection.
And we must find ways to build a stronger cage that imprisons Jia Dongxu.
For example, wooing Qin Huairu.
The last time Qin Huairu fought against Li Aiguo. Although he failed miserably, Yi Zhonghai's eyes lit up because of his cleverness.
A little daughter-in-law who has just entered the capital and has no roots needs a backer most.
His current identity is Jia Dongxu’s master, but he is not actually close to Qin Huairu.
If you want to be Qin Huairu's supporter and slowly cultivate Qin Huairu, you must find another relationship.
So.
After Jia Zhang was sent back to the countryside, Yi Zhonghai had the idea of taking up his stick and becoming his grandson.
This way.
From Banggan's point of view, Yi Zhonghai is almost Qin Huairu's godfather.
The distance between the godfather and his daughter may become negative.
Yi Zhonghai is an old fox. He wants to accept the stick as his grandson, but instead of going directly to the Jia family, he finds Yan Bugui.
In the courtyard house, the three stewards have their own characteristics and responsibilities.
Yi Zhonghai is responsible for moral kidnapping, preaching truth, and has the character of a majestic elder.
Liu Haizhong likes to drink. After drinking, his eyes will be red. When he was young, he was like a fool in the courtyard. He also whined and chattered, which was considered a force.
Yan Bugui, an old teacher, relies on his words and is mainly responsible for ideological work, similar to that of a political commissar.
When Yan Bugui saw that Yi Zhonghai had brought half a catty of peanuts, he knew that Yi Zhonghai wanted something.
Thousand-year-old foxes are just playing games.
Yi Zhonghai told Yan Bugui straightforwardly his thoughts.
Yan Bugui was originally unwilling to take care of this matter, mainly because he was afraid that Mrs. Jia Zhang would scratch him when he came back from the countryside.
But.
That’s half a pound of peanuts.
The Yan family was bitten hard by Li Aiguo just two days ago. This time they will get their blood back.
Yan Bugui reluctantly agreed and came to Jia's house with his hands behind his back.
"Dongxu, Huairu, now that Jia and Zhang have returned to the countryside, your family has no elders and no one to help, so life will definitely be difficult. Besides, Banggeng is still young and needs someone to take care of him. I I think your family should recognize a relative."
Qin Huairu was breastfeeding Banggen and nodded subconsciously: "You are right, third uncle. Now that Banggen is young, I am really too busy on my own. . But, who should we consider as relatives? "
"Old Yi family, Yi Zhonghai is Dongxu's master, and now he regards Bangge as his grandson. This is called getting closer.
If you agree, we will hold a simple ceremony in a few days, and your two families will recognize each other as gods. What do you think? ”
"Hey, I don't have any objection."
You can eat meat by holding a ceremony.
Besides, Bangge has become Yi Zhonghai’s godson.
No one will dare to bully the Jia family from now on.
Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and wanted to agree.
But she is not the head of the Jia family, so she can only set her sights on Jia Dongxu.
Jia Dongxu is a little embarrassed.
He now has a biological mother, a biological grandmother, and he has a godfather inexplicably. What's going on?
Comrade Lao Jia in the photo frame certainly cannot agree.
Qin Huairu quickly took Jia Dongxu's arm and whispered: "Dongxu, Master Yi is the first master of our compound and your master. You will have to rely on Master Yi in the future!" Don’t be stupid.”
Jia Dongxu has a soft temper.
In the past, when Mrs. Jia Zhang was at home, he listened to Mrs. Jia Zhang.
Now that Jia Zhang is gone, she naturally has to listen to Qin Huairu.
After hesitating for a while, he agreed.
"Since you have agreed, hurry up to Lao Yi's house and settle this matter. I am an elder, so it's hard to wait for someone to come and beg you." Yan Bugui urged.
Qin Huairu held the stick in her arms and pulled Jia Dongxu to Lao Yi's house.
Put the stick on the fire kang, hold down the stick’s head, and kowtow to Yi Zhonghai three times.
Yi Zhonghai reluctantly agreed, called Banggian "grandson", took out fifty cents and put it into his pocket.
Most people, at most, have a meal together in the evening, that’s it.
But.
In order to solidify this relationship, Yi Zhonghai decided to hold a family recognition ceremony.
Not only Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui from the courtyard were invited, but also several leaders from the steel rolling mill were invited. Even the deaf old lady was pulled out of the house by him.
A group of people had a lively meal.
From then on, Banggan became Yi Zhonghai’s godson.
After eating and drinking, Yi Zhonghai sat on the chair and narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the well-behaved Bangge and the filial Jia Dongxu.
He felt that Jia Zhang should not need to return to the capital again.
Li Aiguo, who understood the whole thing, didn't care.
It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to God to make things happen.
The more you calculate, the more you will lose.
Yi Zhonghai has been calculating for most of his life and would never have thought that everything would be ruined by an accident.
certainly.
This is a secret that must not be revealed.
Li Aiguo returned to the locomotive depot and devoted his attention to work again.
For train operations, the most important indicator is safety.
The sky is big and the earth is big, safety is the greatest.
In order to improve the safety awareness of railway employees, the railway bureau regards safety as an important indicator to measure the performance of the locomotive depot and the chartered crew.
The most important task of the 131 crew recently is to break the 200-day safe operation record of the locomotive depot.
In the past few days, the comrades in the private group have been so nervous that they keep their eyes on the road even when walking.
I am afraid that I will step on ants and cause a safety accident.
Today is the last day. As long as you get through it safely, you can get the 200-day safe operation record.
The atmosphere within the crew became even more tense.
No.
During the morning meeting, Captain Bai talked about safe driving regulations for half an hour.
"Okay, that's it for today's meeting. There is one more thing that needs everyone's attention."
Until the driver Cao Wenzhi raised his wrist and looked at his watch, he reminded Captain Bai that he was coming soon. When driving, please pay attention to your time.
Captain Bai then nodded and raised his voice with a straight face: "Today is the 200th day that our train No. 131 in the locomotive depot has been running safely. As long as this train is completed safely, we can create a smooth operation in the locomotive depot." It has a record of safe driving, so everyone must keep their spirits up."
"Yes!"
The comrades in the police team, the driver team, and the flight attendants are all in high spirits.
Once you break the record, in addition to receiving a safe operation award, you can also become a Safety Star crew member.
This honor is enough for the comrades of the 131 crew to hold their heads high when meeting other crews.
In this era, honor is more important than anything else, which is no joke.
Sometimes for the sake of honor, people can sacrifice their lives without hesitation.
Li Aiguo frowned slightly. Did Commander Bai just plant a flag?
The atmosphere in the private group is particularly different today.
Liu Qingquan and Lao Zheng, the coal worker, walked very quietly.
Looking left and right from time to time and seeing irregularities, I quickly stepped forward to stop them.
Standing on the field.
Yan Jiecheng worked hard all morning.
At this time, he was eating steamed buns and squatting in the shade to rest with a group of coal workers.
Seeing Li Aiguo approaching, he quickly went up to say hello.
"Brother Patriot, are you driving?"
"Yeah, how are you doing, can you still bear it?"
Li Aiguo waved his hand and asked Liu Qingquan and Lao Zheng to check the locomotive first, and stood There I chatted with Yan Jiecheng for a few words.
"Master Zhang is a good master. He taught me a lot of skills. I have gotten better in the past two days."
When Yan Jiecheng saw this scene, he had already been noticed by other coal workers and the team leader. When he arrived, he licked his face and smiled: "Brother Patriot, you are busy, so I won't waste your time."
Of course, his little moves could not be hidden from Li Aiguo's eyes.
Good boy.
Think of us as a big tree that shelters us from the wind and rain.
As expected, the children of the Yan family are born with scheming skills.
It seems that after a few days, Yanbu will have to treat you to a meal.
Just follow the same standards as last time.
Due to a little delay, by the time Li Aiguo boarded the locomotive, Liu Qingquan and the others had completed all the inspection work.
“Driver Li, the comrades in the machine repair shop are very responsible. The locomotive is in good performance. We have checked the air pump, oil pump, fuel tank, water pump, sand spreader, water tank, water level, etc., and everything is fine. ”
“Light the fire, let’s go!”
Seeing the dispatcher waving the flag, Li Aiguo sat on the steel throne and started the steam engine.
The deafening sound of the whistle makes people's blood boil, and the sound of the cylinder piston powering and exhausting is full of power and intoxicating.
The steam locomotive emitted black smoke and disappeared at the end of the railway track. Yan Jiecheng reluctantly looked away, took a mouthful of black cornstarch, picked up the kettle and took a sip of cold water.
“Driving a train is very simple, and you don’t have to control the steering wheel. What a cow, just tie a bone to the valve and a dog will drive it.”
Yan Jiecheng is a very motivated young man. I have been secretly observing train drivers driving trains for two days, hoping to become a train driver as soon as possible.
"Pa"
As soon as he finished speaking, he received a slap on the forehead.
He raised his head and was about to get angry.
Seeing it was Master Lao Zhang, he quickly put on a smile and said, "Master, why are you hitting me?"
"You have a high vision but a low hand."
Master Zhang clicked. Yantai Guozi said: "The train looks easy to drive, and the knowledge inside is great."
"I went back to my hometown in Jincheng a while ago and took the train driven by driver Li.
“After the train started, the water in the cup on the table did not slosh.
“I was chatting with my wife when I saw the houses receding outside the window, and I realized that the train had already started. .
“That’s called beauty.
“If you switch to a novice driver, the valve control is not good.
"When starting a car, there is often a clang! clang! clang, clang! clang for a long time, which makes you flip over. You have to brake a few times before it can officially start."
Yan Jiecheng narrowed his eyes: "It's so Is that weird?”
“You can’t even carry the burden now, and you still want to drive the train.”
Master Zhang’s eyes widened: “When you carry the burden later. , I can no longer let others support me.”
When Yan Jiecheng started carrying the burden, his lower body was unstable and his upper body was prone to shaking.
In order to take care of him, Master Zhang often asked other coal workers to help Yan Jiecheng.
"I'm just talking"
Yan Jiecheng was very aggrieved.
He has high aspirations.
Not only does it discourage you, but it also discourages you. This master can’t be dealt with.
