Chapter 371: Li Aiguo convinces people with reason
The fellow villagers sent life-saving food.
The tense atmosphere in the carriage suddenly relaxed.
Baskets of food were put on the train by the villagers and distributed to the passengers by the conductors.
The carriage was suddenly filled with the aroma of delicious food.
Ma Xiaojun, who had just received a violent beating, was curled up in his seat and watching the lady opposite him chewing corn cobs, his Adam's apple trembling with greed.
The dog-legged Sande hurriedly got the black cornstarch from the flight attendant and brought it to Ma Xiaojun.
"Brother Jun, please rest your stomach first. When we get to the capital, we will go to Quanjude to eat roast duck."
Ma Xiaojun's stomach was growling after being hungry all day.
There are two types of steamed buns in this era. The yellow steamed steamed buns are made of corn flour, and the black steamed steamed buns are made of sweet potato flour.
The black wotou are very porcelain, even if you bite them with your teeth, you can only leave a scratch on the head.
When people eat, they twist off some and put it in their mouths. After it melts, they hold their necks and swallow it.
Have Ma Xiaojun never eaten this before? After getting the Hei Wo Wo Tou, he couldn’t wait to open his mouth.
“Ouch”
As the wound at the corner of his mouth exploded, Ma Xiaojun was so painful that his tears almost fell.
"Bang!"
Ma Xiaojun slammed the black cornstarch onto the little brother's face, pointed at San De's nose and cursed: "Did you kid laugh at me on purpose?"< br>
“No, Brother Jun.” San De didn’t expect that he would flatter Ma’s legs instead.
“You still said no!”
Ma Xiaojun had a bad temper. He stood up and punched Sande twice.
San De's head was beaten so hard that he didn't dare to say anything. He could only squat in the corridor of the carriage with his head covered.
None of them saw the black nest being picked up by a villager, blowing off the dust, and carefully putting it into a basket. This is food for survival!
The young men who were traveling with him hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ma Xiaojun: "Brother Jun, San Dezi didn't do it on purpose. They are all brothers. Please spare him this time."
"Yes, this is all caused by the female train driver."
When it comes to the female train driver, Ma Xiaojun's anger that had just calmed down rose again, and he gritted his teeth and looked ferocious. Said:
"Whoever dares to offend our food supply! I will find daddy when I get off the bus.
Let daddy go to the locomotive depot in person and peel off the skin of that shrew. .”
The young people looked happy.
Ma Xiaojun’s father is the person in charge of the grain station in Beijing District.
On weekdays, even the district leaders have to give him some face.
In order to make up for his mistake, San De, who had been beaten just now, rolled his eyes around and said in a low voice:
"Brother Jun, those mud-legged guys are delivering food to the dining car right now. I'll sneak in and give it to you." How about getting some chicken legs?”
When he mentioned the fragrant chicken legs, Ma Xiaojun suddenly became energetic and patted San Dezi on the shoulder with great satisfaction.
"Sandoku, you should be smart and smart, I'm starving to death."
"Brother, look at it!"
Sandoku Walking through the crowded carriage to the dining car.
Just when Ma Xiaojun was thinking about eating Zhang Dahua, Zhang Dahua also ate his beloved steamed buns.
I ate two steamed buns in one go and drank two large ladles of water. I was only half full.
I stretched my head outside and drank a few sips of the autumn wind. Zhang Dahua said Only then did I stop being hungry.
She squatted in the locomotive, holding her chin and looking at the railway tracks in the distance, and whispered in her mouth: "I don't know when the rescue train will arrive."
Captain Zhou was also worried about this matter.
Although there are life-saving food sent by the villagers, just waiting is not an option.
The passengers who had eaten and drank enough were also worried at this time.
If the rescue is delayed, they will spend the night in the wilderness tonight.
There is no heating on the train, and the temperature is so low at night that some of them will freeze to death.
Woooooo!
A loud whistle sounded in the distance.
After the whistle penetrated the rain curtain, it seemed weak and feeble, but it sounded like a yellow bell to the passengers.
A few young people jumped off the train in the heavy rain and looked into the distance.
Two bright lights came quickly in the darkness.
"Train, the train is coming! The train to save me is coming!"
The passengers in the carriage suddenly became excited.
“I knew the comrades in the locomotive depot would not give up on us.”
“Yes, yes, it is the people’s railway now, and it is different from before liberation.”
< br>"Baby, we can go back soon!"
Looking at the excited passengers, Ma Xiaojun snorted coldly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to think about how to tell his second uncle this when he returned to the capital. thing.
It is windy and rainy at this time, and driving visibility may be blocked.
After hearing the whistle, Commander Zhou immediately jumped out of the train with the operating commander.
The two braved the wind and rain and marched four to five hundred meters. They stood in front of the railway track, wrapped a small red flag in a flashlight, and waved it desperately.
The rescue train was driven by Cao Wenzhi, who was in the front car.
Li Aiguo, who was inside the Patriot locomotive, was very relaxed at this time.
While smoking a cigarette, I chatted with Liu Qingsong and several rescue team members.
The train rescue team of this era had just been established and the equipment was very rudimentary.
There are no professional lifting trucks, tool trucks, camping trucks, conference trucks, dining trucks and generator trucks.
Not even professional orange firefighting uniforms.
Every time a mission goes out, personnel and equipment have to be temporarily pieced together from various workshops.
I heard Li Aiguo babble. It is really difficult to be responsible for the train rescue work of five lines around Beijing, including the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, the Beijing-Hankou Railway, and the Beijing-Shenyang Railway, in such a crude environment.
Sometimes cranes are not available, and when rescue trains are rescued, manpower is used to pull the overturned train up.
Liu Qingsong also seemed particularly excited, because although Li Aiguo seemed to be an outsider in rescue, he could always spot key technical issues in rescue.
Especially in the management of the rescue team, this little driver has unique insights.
"The rescue team must always maintain a state of readiness for dispatch. As soon as the train is dispatched, everyone on the train is a "conductor" and every one of them is a "combatant."
Every three to five days, large-scale emergency response training for all members must be carried out. Rescue drill.
At the same time, we also need to go deep into the passenger transport workshop, freight workshop, and maintenance workshop to understand the technical details of each train.”
Liu Qingsong wrote these contents in a small book. .
These are valuable experiences for the rescue team to become more formal in the future.
At this moment.
Puff, puff
With a violent exhaust sound, the train slowly stopped.
The rescue team members who had been laughing leisurely just now turned serious.
They are both amateur and professional.
As soon as the train stopped, I immediately opened the side door, jumped out of the car and rushed into the wind and rain.
"Driver Li, wait here, wait until we take care of things over there, and then we will notify you to drive." Liu Qingsong put the small notebook into his underwear pocket, stood up and said to Li Aiguo.
As a train driver, Li Aiguo did not need to leave the train to perform tasks during the rescue.
It is not Li’s patriotic character to just stand by and watch the suffering of our comrades.
"I designed the derailer. You still have to keep an eye on it when installing it."
Li Aiguo also followed Liu Qingsong off the train.
The rain mixed with the coolness of autumn came quickly, and it felt a bit like being hit by a cold fist.
The sound of the raging rain seemed to be roaring in Li Aiguo's ears, but it was like a fire was burning in his heart.
He tightened the collar of his labor protection raincoat and strode into the wind and rain.
At this time.
Duan Chang Xing and Cao Wenzhi also walked down from the [No. 81] locomotive in front.
Seeing Li Aiguo coming over, Duan Chang Xing said to Cao Wenzhi: "Old Cao, I guessed it right. You, a good apprentice, would definitely not lie down and sleep on the train."
Cao Wenzhi took out a pack of Daqianmen from his pocket and slapped it in Duanchang Xing's hand: "You win."
Duanchang Xing was more excited to get Daqianmen than to get Greater China. Grinning.
Seeing two old comrades, who together were a hundred years old, bet like children, Li Aiguo felt a sigh of relief in his heart.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the pure working environment in the locomotive depot that subordinates and superiors can maintain such an innocent relationship.
At this moment, Captain Zhou of train 322 rushed over with the driver, Master Gao, and the assistant driver, Zhang Dahua.
Seeing that there was no lifting equipment on the rescue train, Captain Zhou frowned cryptically.
It’s just that as a train conductor, it’s not convenient for me to get involved in the rescue work, so I said insinuatingly:
“Captain Duan, aren’t we going to rescue the train today?”
< br>
Duan Chang Xing: "Xiao Zhou, this time we are adopting Comrade Li Aiguo's rescue plan, we don't need those gadgets."
As he spoke, Duan Chang Xing pointed at Li Aiguo.
Captain Zhou often heard this name from Zhang Dahua, but he was always driving outside and had no chance to meet him.
She looked over curiously, feeling that this person was just like that.
Just taller, handsomer, and burly, there is nothing special about him.
Why do you know how to drive a train?
Are you proficient in rescue?
It’s just that the rescue plan was decided in Duan, and Captain Zhou had no way to intervene.
"Commander Duan, how do you need our 322 train crew to cooperate."
"Patriot, Lao Liu, the two of you in charge will explain it to Captain Zhou."
< br>
"Okay!"
He ran to Commander Zhou in the rain, and Li Aiguo stretched out his hand to shake her hand.
“Captain Zhou, because the power of the rescue train is limited, in order to pull the train out smoothly, you need to get all the passengers off the train.”
“This is easy to do. The passengers are anxious to go home and will definitely cooperate. I will inform them now,"
Captain Zhou wiped the water off his raincoat and hat, shrunk his neck, turned and ran into the carriage.
Li Aiguo then noticed that at the rescue scene, even the comrades who could take shelter from the rain did not seek cover.
No one held an umbrella, just standing in the storm.
This behavior may seem stupid, but in fact it is related to the key to the success or failure of the rescue - the fearless spirit.
Only when people are full of courage can they complete impossible tasks in difficult and dangerous environments.
Captain Zhou took the flight attendants to explain to the passengers one by one.
Liu Qingsong and Duan Chang Xing led their comrades from the public works workshop to build temporary railway tracks.
In the storm, the roar, the sound of rapid footsteps, and the sound of metal collision were intertwined, and then dark gray figures became busy one by one.
The rescue was carried out in an orderly manner.
Li Aiguo took Zhang Dahua to the 322 locomotive to check the derailment situation.
The situation at the scene was the same as Zhang Dahua described.
Only the front part of the car derailed, and both wheels were on the same side.
Li Aiguo squatted down, picked up a crushed sleeper, and said with a smile: "Master Gao, it's really thanks to you that you were able to brake in time this time, otherwise the train would have had to rush out."< br>
Two hundred meters away from the railway track is a ditch. The train rushed into the ditch, and the consequences can be imagined.
Master Gao had heard about Li Aiguo for a long time, and he chuckled and said, "Li Dasha, thanks to the co-driver Comrade Zhang Dahua for sending the signal in time."
Zhang Dahua held out his chest: "No. It’s all my fault.”
Li Aiguo: "."
At this time, Li Aiguo had time to look at Zhang Dahua.
As his eyes slid over Zhang Dahua, Li Aiguo couldn't help but let out a "squeak".
"Dahua, you seem to have lost a lot of weight?" Zhang Dahua lowered his head and looked at his shriveled belly, and said somewhat depressedly: "In our school, the canteen is full, so it can be opened
On train 322, you need to buy a meal ticket”
Li Aiguo remained silent.
He remembered that when Zhang Dahua graduated and left school, the director of the cafeteria of the railway school bought a bunch of firecrackers and crackled them at the school gate.
Someone asked him why he was so happy? The director of the canteen, who has lost several pounds in three years, said: "I no longer have to go hungry every day."
Since then, Zhang Dahua has become a legend in the railway technical school.
Every time new students enter school, they always hear from their seniors that in Class 2, Grade 3, there was a girl who almost brought down the cafeteria.
With sympathy for the 322 crew, Li Aiguo patted Master Gao on the shoulder: "Thank you, Old Gao, for your hard work."
Master Gao couldn't laugh or cry: "Comrade Dahua, in addition to eating A little more, there are no other disadvantages."
Zhang Dahua: "."
The on-site investigation is completed.
Li Aiguo directed the rescue team to place the derailer under both bogies of the wheel at the same time.
Road construction workers in the public works section are laying ballast in the direction of the line where the bogies run.
The comrades of the rescue team connected the locomotive of train 322 to the large hook at the bottom of the rescue train with five wire ropes.
When all this was done, the temporary tracks had been laid and connected to the old railway tracks.
Under the explanation of the crew members of the 322 package, the passengers on the train also got off the station and stood in the heavy rain.
Duan Chang Xing looked at Li Aiguo, and just as he was about to issue the order to board the train for rescue, a flight attendant stood at the door of Car No. 2 of Train 322 and shouted: "Captain, there are five passengers in Car No. 2 who are not getting off."
< br>Captain Zhou’s heart skipped a beat.
Duanchang Xing frowned, looked at Captain Zhou and said, "Xiao Zhou, what's going on?"
"The man's name is Ma Xiaojun, he seems to be the leader of the grain station. There was a conflict with our crew because of the food issue, and later Comrade Zhang Dahua..."
Captain Zhou originally planned to communicate this matter with Section Chief Xing privately in order to intercede for Zhang Dahua.
At this time, there was no choice but to tell the story of the conflict that happened on the train.
After hearing this, Duan Chang Xing looked a little angry: "Even if he has objections to our locomotive maintenance section, he still needs to go back to the capital to resolve them. What's going on now that he is occupying the bunk and affecting the rescue?
< br>And that Zhang Dahua, how could he beat up the passengers!
If this spreads, what will the people think of our maintenance department?” There was water running down his cheeks, and his dark face was stained with drops of rain, making it look even more terrifying.
Captain Zhou wanted to intercede for Zhang Dahua at this time, but was frightened back when the words came to his lips.
Li Aiguo always felt that Zhang Dahua was unhappy today, but now he understands the root cause.
He walked forward and said with a smile: "Chang Duan, let me handle this matter?"
"You?" Duan Chang Xing was stunned for a moment.
Li Aiguo said: "You know, in our locomotive depot, no one knows how to do mass ideological work better than me."
Looking at Li Aiguo, who has become an understanding king, Duan Chang Xing How could you not know his thoughts?
This train driver has always protected his shortcomings, not to mention Zhang Dahua is his old classmate.
"That's okay, but you have to pay attention to your work attitude."
"Don't worry, I guarantee that the passengers will be satisfied."
After speaking, Li Aiguo called Zhang Dahua aside. , asked about the ins and outs of the matter, and then brought two police officers to Car No. 2.
The passengers who were standing below saw the people from the locomotive depot coming, and they all followed and got on the bus.
On the one hand, it is shelter from the rain.
On the other hand, it is eating melon.
In these difficult times, is there anything happier than eating melons?
The carriage was suddenly filled with people.
The ladies and aunts all stretched out their heads, and a few young people even climbed onto the luggage rack, but were pulled down again by the police.
Just kidding, tickets are not sold on the train.
Ma Xiaojun was lying flat on the bunk. When he heard footsteps, he raised his eyelids slightly.
When he saw Li Aiguo leading someone over, he folded his arms and snorted coldly, turned his head away, and pretended to be sleeping.
Just the next moment, he couldn't sleep.
Li Aiguo secretly looked at Ma Xiaojun. He had a sinister look on his face and was arrogant. He didn't look like a good guy.
“Drag it down.” Li Aiguo pointed at Ma Xiaojun and said.
Seeing so many people coming, Ma Xiaojun was still waiting to talk about his grievances.
Seeing that Li Aiguo was not playing his cards according to common sense, he immediately got up from the bunk and rolled up his sleeves. Seeing Li Aiguo's burly body, he pushed down his sleeves angrily.
Ma Xiaojun rolled his eyes at Li Aiguo: "Who are you, you."
"I am the train driver and the deputy commander-in-chief of this rescue mission.
Comrade , Now the rescue is about to begin. It is not only dangerous for you to lie in the carriage, but it will also affect the rescue.
For the safety of the train and your own safety, please get off the train immediately." Li Aiguo said sonorously. Said forcefully.
Ma Xiaojun has been waiting for this sentence for a long time, pointing it at his face.
“Look at it, everyone, the driver on the train beat me like this, and now he wants to kick me off the train, is there any justice in it?”
It’s just that the old passengers in Car No. 2 knew the ins and outs of the matter.
Passengers in other carriages did not know the truth of the matter and suddenly became noisy.
“What, the train driver actually hit someone?”
“Don’t the railways always promote themselves as the people’s railways?”
“Harmful, that’s a lie. People, we can just listen. The world is as dark as crows, no different from before liberation."
Seeing the support of the masses, Ma Xiaojun became even more arrogant.
Sitting down on the small table, clasping his arms, he looked sideways at Li Aiguo. His left leg was crossed on his right leg, and his toes were shaking.
“I won’t make it difficult for you today.”
“As long as the female driver who looks like Zhu Bajie and her second aunt comes to kowtow to apologize to me and call me Brother Jun again, I am wrong. .”
“I’ll get off with you today.”
His attitude was as arrogant as ever, and his face was annoying to look at.
The two police officers behind them couldn't help it anymore and stepped forward to deal with Ma Xiaojun, but were stopped by Li Aiguo.
"Don't worry, we have to convince people with reason."
The two police officers woke up when they saw the disdainful eyes of the onlookers.
The railway department did not have a good reputation before liberation.
After liberation, the world changed, and the railways became the iron eggs of the people.
But it is difficult to change people's ideas.
After two years of hard work by all railway personnel, we have changed people’s views and won the trust of the people.
If I act impulsively this time, I will definitely discredit the railway people.
Li Aiguo walked forward slowly.
Tall and strong, he looked down at the chicken-like Ma Xiaojun with majestic and cold eyes.
Seeing that he was angry, Ma Xiaojun was not afraid at all. He said with a playful smile: "Hey, don't be angry. I'm just joking with you. Why can't I help but laugh."
"What the hell am I doing?" Are you familiar with me? How dare you sit on a small table and destroy railway property, I'm going to piss you off!" Li Aiguo found a random excuse and slapped him in the face.
Ma Xiaojun staggered and fell off the table. Stars appeared in his eyes and his head was buzzing.
He shook his head, covered his face and looked at Li Aiguo depressedly: "Don't you want to convince people with reason?"
"I'm sorry, I couldn't hold it back. It's all my fault. You look so annoying."
Ma Xiaojun: "."
Police officer: "."
Passenger: "."
Car. Rain outside the window: "."
Ma Xiaojun's face turned red with anger, he struggled to stand up, and looked at Li Aiguo coldly with a vicious glare.
He regretted being acquainted with these gangsters on the railway.
Even if he regained his position afterwards, he received two beatings in vain.
Li Aiguo relieved his anger and felt much better now. He pointed at Ma Xiaojun: "Police Officer Zhang, Officer Wang, please arrest this guy!"
"Hey, eh, why? ! I was beaten for no reason and I had to be arrested. You guys on the railway can't be unreasonable!" Ma Xiaojun covered his face and cried like a child who has not grown up.
The onlookers also frowned, the train driver went a little too far.
"Okay, I will tell you some truth today." Li Aiguo dusted off the seat, sat down slowly, and leaned in a tactical posture.
He took out a cigarette, took out a match and lit it. After taking a few puffs, he suddenly asked: "Did you make trouble to share the food in the dining car?"
"That's right. , It was a man who did it, but did I do something wrong?" Ma Xiaojun was immediately relieved, thinking that this guy was capable of something, that's all?
Li Aiguo said calmly: "Those grains are reserved for the elderly and pregnant women. You are disrupting the normal order of the railway by making trouble."
Ma Xiaojun's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and he felt like a big hat was slapped on his forehead.
Not waiting for him to quibble, Li Aiguo continued: "Now you are deliberately obstructing the rescue, do you want to put thousands of passengers in danger?
You must know that the rain is getting heavier and heavier. A major flood may occur at any time."
As soon as these words came out.
The expressions of the passengers who just looked at Ma Xiaojun with pity suddenly changed.
"Yes, I think this product is not a good thing. The flight attendants should distribute the food to the elderly and pregnant women. That is what they should do."
"Who has no elderly people or children? ?”
“He just wanted to cause sabotage!”
Ma Xiaojun was stupid. He just vented his anger, but now it turned into sabotage.
How dare he admit this? He shook his head hastily: "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
"You little brat, you think you're doing something pretty smart."
Li Aiguo sneered, put his hand into his trouser pocket, took out a chicken leg and placed it on the table.
He turned back to the chef in charge of the dining car and said, "Men, take a look, is this chicken leg from our dining car?"
The chef picked up the half-eaten chicken leg. , nodded heavily: "When I braised the chicken legs, I used my family's ancestral secret recipe. It is the only one in the whole capital. It can't be wrong."
"You kid ran into the dining car to steal the chicken legs, and you dare to say that it's not the case." Sabotage?”
Li Aiguo secretly gave an appreciative look to the water carrier of train 322.
This guy is a smart guy.
After discovering that Cao Sande had stolen chicken legs, he did not say anything about it, but waited until Li Aiguo came over.
Bombs must be detonated at the right time to exert their greatest power.
The passengers looked at Ma Xiaojun with expressions of contempt.
Have all the current grain station cadres turned into thieves?
Several family members of pregnant women were even more angry. They rushed up and slapped Ma Xiaojun so hard that he foamed at the mouth.
“You are trying to fight for food with the child in my wife’s belly. You are so capable!”
“Don’t do anything, we have to convince people with reason.”
Li Aiguo hurriedly stopped him and asked the police to tie up Ma Xiaojun and the other five people with ropes and throw them off the train.
Captain Zhou had been standing not far away watching this scene, frowning and said: "Captain Duan, is Driver Li going a little too far? Ma Xiaojun is indeed a bit bad, but disrupting the order of the railway, and He shouldn't dare to deliberately put people on the train in danger."
"Xiao Zhou, you are still too young." Duan Chang Xing felt comfortable and took out a cigarette to smoke one. , only to find that the cigarette box had already been wet by the rain, so he had no choice but to give up.
He put the cigarette case into his arms and said with a smile: "Don't these guys have some background? Let's use these charges to imprison them in the maintenance section. Then we will see how big those people are. Energy.”
Of course, Duan Chang Xing didn’t say a word.
Li Aiguo hates people who use their power to oppress the people the most.
These boys from the grain station ran right into the muzzle of the gun.
