Chapter 222 Letter from Lou Xiaoe
Early the next morning, I came to the locomotive depot.
Li Aiguo helped Xu Damao contact Captain Liu Dashan of the bridge workshop construction team of the locomotive depot.
Told Xu Damao’s thoughts again.
Captain Liu Dashan agreed immediately and led the construction workers to start the renovation project of the Xu family's house.
Although the transformation is relatively simple, it still takes more than ten days.
Xu Damao could only suppress his inner anxiety and postponed his wedding to Liu Lan.
Liu Lan is a generous little widow who seems not to have been affected by Jia Dongxu at all. These days she often goes to the courtyard to greet her and clean up the house.
The guys didn’t see the incident between Liu Lan and Deputy Director Li with their own eyes.
In addition, Liu Lan is a helper in the cafeteria.
She is responsible for preparing food at the window. If she offends her and weighs the spoons for you, you will be hungry.
So, everyone will no longer mention those things in the past.
Liu Lan has the sweetest taste and quickly became familiar with the residents of the courtyard.
The lives of Xu Damao and Liu Lan are developing in a beautiful direction.
Li Aiguo’s little life was also very nourishing.
There is no need to drive, and the daily work is to write the railway code with Wang Guozhen in the education room.
Soon, he understood Liu Guozhang’s intention.
In less than five days, three waves of leaders from the General Administration came down to inspect the work.
Two deputy directors, three dispatch chiefs, and seven or eight middle-level leaders of the bureau.
It can be said that the Qianmen Locomotive Depot has never received so many leaders since its establishment.
Every time, Li Aiguo, the deputy team leader, would be pushed to the front by Wang Guozhen to receive these leaders.
The name Li Aiguo soon spread among the General Administration.
It seems that there is no benefit at the moment.
But if you want to continue to make progress in the future, this reputation will be a great help.
No matter what era you are in, reputation is power.
There is also news from the Hong Kong City.
On this day, Li Aiguo accompanied the dispatcher of the General Administration to have a working meal and was preparing to return to the office to continue working.
The security officer on duty at the door ran over, "Driver Li, someone is looking for you at the door."
"Who is it?" Li Aiguo took out his cigarette and handed it over.
Li Aiguo, who has lived in two generations, knows one thing very well: never offend the person in charge of the gatekeeper.
In future generations, if you offend those security guards, you won't even be able to go back to your own home.
Not to mention, the security officers in this era were all in the regular establishment and all had guns.
"How embarrassing is this? It costs you money every time."
The security officer took the cigarette with a smile, put it on his ear, and said with a smile: "She is an old lady. She looks over seventy years old."
The old lady.
Li Aiguo was a little confused.
When he followed the security officer to the gate, Li Aiguo became even more confused.
He didn’t know the old lady at all.
Quickly walked over and said with a smile: "Auntie, who are you?"
The old lady held the basket on her arm, raised her head, and looked at Li Aiguo up and down with her cloudy eyes, as if to confirm that Li Aiguo was identity.
"Are you Li Aiguo, the train driver?"
"It's me. Do you have a problem with me?"
"It's like this. Someone asked me to give you something." The old lady took something from the basket. He took out a book and handed it over.
The title of the book is "What happens in the body of athletes when they exercise".
The author is from Suzhou and published by Education Press. It can be regarded as the most common physical education textbook in this era.
Who gave me this thing for what?
Want me to be an athlete?
Li Aiguo raised his head while holding the book, and when he was about to ask, the old lady had disappeared.
Looking around, there was no trace of her.
This speed is too fast
Li Aiguo soon realized something was wrong, walked to the shade of a tree, opened the book, and quickly saw the clues.
The books are coded with symbols painted on them.
This kind of symbol belongs to a special set of codes, and the inventor is Li Aiguo, who only handed it over to Lou Xiao'e.
Good guy, this girl knows how to learn and apply it.
Li Aiguo looked around and saw that no one was there. He put the book in his arms and walked into the locomotive depot swaggeringly.
Back to the dormitory.
All the comrades in the private group drove away, and there was no one in the dormitory.
Li Aiguo spread the books on the table and checked them according to the coding table in his memory.
Soon.
A complete "letter" was translated.
The "letter" was indeed sent by Lou Xiao'e.
In the letter, Lou Xiaoe stated that she had arrived safely in Hong Kong City and found the eldest brother of the Lou family.
The situation of the Lou family in Hong Kong City is as Li Aiguo expected.
I have invested in many industries, but they are all at a loss due to the troubles caused by the corporate elements and the exploitation of the police.
Lou Xiao'e concealed the fact that she was carrying gold.
According to Li Aiguo's plan, the gold was deposited in Huifeng Bank, leaving only a small amount for living expenses.
Currently, I have met the Chancellor of Hong Kong City University through my relatives in Hong Kong City, and I am preparing to study at Hong Kong City University.
Her current contact address and phone number are attached at the end of the "letter".
The "letter" is very long, with three to four thousand words.
The rest of the content is just love nonsense.
The language is relatively explicit, which shows that Lou Xiaoe has been affected by the atmosphere of the port city.
After reading the entire "letter", Li Aiguo was relieved.
As long as Lou Xiaoe can execute the plan according to the plan, he will be safe and sound in Hong Kong City.
After the spring breeze arrives, Lou Xiaoe, who has graduated from college and is already familiar with the port city, will also help him become bigger and stronger.
Although I am a little reluctant.
Li Aiguo still took the book to the boiler room below the dormitory, and while the boilerman was away, he threw the book into the stove.
The books turned into smoke in the fire.
Time.
Like a bad stomach.
It was clear that the water was flowing down behind me, but I couldn’t catch much useful information.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed.
Xu Damao’s house has also been tidied up.
Because Captain Liu Dashan of the construction team deliberately controlled the budget, the total cost was less than thirty yuan.
This made Xu Damao very happy.
However.
In front of Liu Lan, he did not mention that cheap materials were used.
I just keep praising the skills of the construction team at the locomotive depot.
"Liu Lan, look, how sturdy this little bed is. No matter how naughty the children are, the bed will not collapse."
Xu Damao pointed to the two heights of the compartment. Bed introduced.
In this era, ordinary residents did not have bunk beds in their homes. Liu Lan had never seen such a thing before.
I was so happy that I couldn’t even close my mouth.
Praise: "I didn't expect that Li Aiguo could really persuade the construction team of the motor vehicle depot to help our family clean up the house."
"That's right, I have a good relationship with Li Aiguo! A while ago , he also stood up for me." Xu Damao was full of praise when he thought of Li Aiguo's performance when Jia Xudong was beaten.
Liu Lan's eyes flashed, she pursed her lips and smiled: "Li Aiguo is so good, why aren't you married yet?"
This question seems a bit out of line.
Xu Damao didn't think much about it, and said while sweeping the floor: "It turned out that he had a fiancée, the Qin Huairu who quarreled with you two days ago.
His father passed away later. He was also seriously ill. Qin Huairu was such a thief that she married into the Jia family."
"This is called being smart but being misled by your cleverness!"
Liu Lanzuo. He got to the chair and continued to ask: "I heard that the salary of train drivers is quite high?"
"Li Aiguo doesn't like to talk about these things. It's probably more than a hundred yuan."
When Li Aiguo was mentioned, Xu Damao also felt honored, stood up and said: "He is not an ordinary train driver. He was in the newspapers a while ago An article has been published.”
“Really?” Liu Lan’s eyes widened.
"Of course, I'll look for it for you."
Xu Damao also collected a newspaper, pulled it out from under the bed, and handed it to Liu Lan.
Looking at the printed words above, Liu Lan's eyes widened with admiration.
She has no culture and usually admires those literate people the most.
If you can publish articles in newspapers, you are considered a great intellectual.
Seeing Liu Lan's obsessed look, Xu Damao also felt something was wrong and quickly took the newspaper back.
“Li Aiguo is a well-rounded guy, and he has a good selection of people. Ordinary girls really can’t catch his eye. A while ago, Aunt Liu helped him introduce a partner, but he rejected her. I heard that she was still the owner of a silk and satin shop. ”
Liu Lan came to her senses at this moment and pretended to be serious: "Da Mao, you know quite a lot!"
"That's right, there is no one in the courtyard that I don't know. "
Xu Damao then remembered that he had not introduced the situation of the courtyard to Liu Lan.
“Daughter-in-law”
“Who is your wife?” Liu Lan’s face turned red.
Xu Damao chuckled, sat next to Liu Lan, took her little hand and said, "I've identified you now, you will never be able to escape in this life."
"Virtue !" Liu Lan shook off his hand and rolled her eyes.
“I’m not going to make trouble with you, but I’m going to tell you something.”
Seeing that Xu Damao became serious, Liu Lan also straightened up.
Xu Damao then said: "The situation in our compound is quite complicated. Do you know Mr. Master?"
"That's Yi Zhonghai, a seventh-level fitter and the leader in the workshop." Liu Lan nodded.
"Don't look at him as a sanctimonious man, but he is actually a villain. He has no children and wants Jia Dongxu to help him take care of himself in old age, so he favors Jia Dongxu in everything."
"I said last time you told me Jia Dongxu had a conflict, why did Yi Zhonghai come up to lecture you indiscriminately? "
Liu Lan didn't take Yi Zhonghai seriously.
After all, Yi Zhonghai seemed a little scared when he saw her last time.
"In our courtyard, Li Aiguo is the only one who dares to confront Yi Zhonghai." Xu Damao sighed, and then said: "Then there is the deaf old lady, who plays tricks all day long and likes to smash other people's windows, but I was so punished by Li Aiguo that I seldom walk around the compound now."
Xu Damao talked to himself and felt that something was wrong. It was all related to Li Aiguo.
He quickly changed his words: "You also know the second uncle Liu Haizhong. He likes to beat children and like to drink. You don't need to pay attention to him. Just tell the children not to play at the second uncle's house. What you have to be careful about is "Third uncle."
"Isn't the third uncle a teacher?" Liu Lan said.
"Hey, you don't know. It's true that he is a teacher, but he doesn't do anything about the teacher. He always likes to take advantage." Xu Damao grinned and said, "Every time I go to the countryside, I bring back some mountain goods. , he will always take some away.”
Liu Lan was surprised when he heard this, "There are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in your courtyard."
"What is this? Do you know about the Jia family? They stole coal from Li Ai's country a while ago, and the house was blown down. ." After Xu Damao said this, he felt something was wrong. Why is it related to Li Aiguo?
Liu Lan suddenly asked: "I remember that the arrest of He Yuzhu, the eighth-level chef in the cafeteria, was also related to Li Aiguo, right?"
Xu Damao: "."
Why can't I get around it?
We, Damao, are so aggrieved!
Liu Lan is a thief.
How could I not see what Xu Damao was thinking when he could compete with Deputy Director Li?
She straightened her face and lectured: "Da Mao, I think there's something wrong with your thinking."
"What's the problem?" Xu Damao sat up straight.
Liu Lan clasped her fingers to help him analyze: "You and Yi Zhonghai are enemies. Now the only person in the compound who can fight Yi Zhonghai is Li Aiguo.
The enemy of your enemy is your friend. Why don't you win over Li Aiguo? What?
Besides, Li Aiguo treats you well.
Look, if it weren’t for him, how could our family be so well-organized?”
“. That's really what happened." Xu Damao nodded.
Liu Lan secretly rejoiced: "He has published articles at a young age, and he may be able to make progress in the future. If you don't build a good relationship now, it will be too late by then?"
Xu Damao I also have the dream of being a leader.
Hearing this, I suddenly became energetic.
Bah.
Took a bite on Liu Lan's face: "They say the little widow is smart. I didn't believe it at first, but today I am convinced."
"Virtue!" Liu Lan wiped her face and said with a smile: "Now that we have figured it out, how about we invite Li Aiguo to our house for dinner tonight?"
"Okay, but what should we eat?"< br>
"There is no meat in the vegetable market now. I will buy a chicken and you clean up the house."
"Okay, okay."
Xu Damao was arranged by Liu Lan Got it done and got busy in the house.
Liu Lan stood in front of the mirror, took care of herself for a while, put on her basket, opened the door and walked out.
The railway code will be written tomorrow.
Li Aiguo was riding his bicycle, still thinking about his work in his mind, wondering if he had made any mistakes.
After returning to the Siheyuan, I first went to the scrap shop, checked the accounts for the past two days, and asked about the sales situation, and then rode my bicycle back to the Siheyuan.
It was already dinner time, and smoke was rising from the alley.
Li Aiguo was thinking about his work, pushing his bicycle and walking down the alley.
As soon as he turned the corner, a figure ran out from inside and bumped into him.
“Hey young!”
With a gasp, the figure fell back. Li Aiguo, with quick eyes and quick hands, strode forward and grabbed the man's waist.
Li Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief and took a closer look. It turned out that the person was Xu Damao's young widow Liu Lan.
Li Aiguo also met Liu Lan once two days ago, but he didn't pay special attention to it.
See it up close this time.
I discovered that compared with the original work, Liu Lan was several years younger at this time, that is, twenty-one or twelve years old.
She is wearing a floral shirt, a short ponytail hairstyle, and a standard widow's face. Although her appearance is not as good as Lou Xiao'e's, her figure is not inferior at all.
Just like the collision just now, I could feel the amazing bouncing power just through my shirt.
Li Aiguo didn't find it strange at all that she would be targeted by Deputy Director Li.
In the past, Li Aiguo still doubted, why did the thief Cao want to talk about a good wife?
The reason was found.
People in the past got married early.
Married at the age of fourteen or fifteen.
She is said to be a married woman, but she is actually the age when flowers bloom in her twenties.
Liu Lan was hurt by the collision, and Liu Ye raised her eyebrows, as if she wanted to get angry.
Seeing that it was Li Aiguo, his expression immediately softened, and he pursed his lips into a smile.
"Patriotic brother, you are back, and I was just asking Xu Damao to invite you."
