Night falls.
The courtyard also became lively.
The sound of car bells, footsteps, and the noise of children are intertwined, and the air is filled with a strong smell of fireworks.
Ahem, it’s real smoke.
After Wang Dakui and others sent Wang Mazi and others to the police station, Li Aiguo just returned to the compound when he was almost suffocated by the thick smoke.
Hey guys, the courtyard is filled with smoke, as if some great power is about to ascend.
Or which house is on fire!
Li Aiguo's heart trembled, and he strode towards the middle courtyard in the direction of the smoke.
When I came to the ruins of Jia's house, I couldn't help laughing.
The construction team of South Tongluo Lane set up a stove in front of the ruins of Jia’s house.
I was going to cook for the workers.
Now the firewood in the stove has been watered by Jia Zhang.
The firewood burned incompletely, just like a poison gas bomb, and thick smoke suddenly came out.
A few workers stood not far away with fearful expressions on their faces.
Jia Zhang, carrying a bucket, her hair standing on end and her eyes squinting, was arguing with the black-faced captain of the construction team.
A group of residents gathered around, including Liu Haizhong, Er Aunt, Nan Yi, Liang Ladi, Xu Damao and Liu Lan.
Li Aiguo arrived late and it was unclear why, but Xu Damao watched the excitement for a while.
"Da Mao, what's going on? Why did Jia Zhang get involved with the construction team?"
"Patriotism is back."
Xu Damao's voice was loud, The whole story was told.
The day when the Jia family built their house was specially chosen by Yi Zhonghai, and the construction officially started yesterday.
Since Jia Zhang has been working in the health team for the past two days, she did not keep an eye on the scene.
She came back a little early today.
When I 'inspected' the construction site, I felt that the construction team was cutting corners, so I got into trouble with the black-faced captain.
The black-faced captain is also an old man. He let Jia Zhang scold him angrily without getting angry.
It's just a pain for the construction workers next to me. According to the rules, they can have a meal here before going home in the evening.
The delay in making a fire now will definitely delay the 'get off work'.
The black-faced bosses are as black-hearted as the 996 bosses in later generations. They don’t get overtime pay.
This time.
Yi Zhonghai came back from get off work. When he saw the two of them quarreling, his eyes narrowed slightly and he quickly stepped forward to break up the fight.
"Lao Yi, you came back just in time. Look, what materials they used? This beam is about the size of a child's arm, and these bricks are all rotten bricks."
Jia Zhang grabbed Yi Zhonghai's arm He pointed at the materials with his arm and said: "Aren't they fooling people!"
"Sister-in-law, this old captain Hei is an old construction worker with many years of experience. He was the one who built Prince Gong's Mansion back then. Father." Yi Zhonghai defended: "I have a life-long relationship with Lao Hei, so I can't lie to you."
As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai gave Lao Hei a wink.
Old Hei patted his chest and said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. Although this beam is a little thin, it is made of camphor wood. It is strong and durable, just like the beams in Prince Gai Gong's Mansion. .
This brick was also brought from the same brick factory. Although it looks a bit weak, there is actually nothing wrong with it.”
“The brick from Prince Gong’s Mansion?”
< br>Jia Zhang’s eyes were wet, she patted her thigh and said excitedly: “So, my house has the same specifications as the palace?”
“. A little bit different, but not very different. ." Captain Lao Hei smiled sadly.
After learning that her house was built according to the specifications of the royal palace, Jia Zhang’s doubts suddenly disappeared.
"Oh, my stickie is going to do big things in the future, so he should live in the palace!"
Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai quietly turned his head, with a proud smile on his lips.
Looking at this scene, Li Aiguo always felt like he had seen it before.
If you think about it carefully, isn’t this the scene where you were deceived by an acquaintance who introduced you to a decoration company when you were renovating your house in your previous life?
Yi Zhonghai is indeed decades ahead of the game.
Some residents in the compound also saw some clues.
But no one exposed it. After all, Jia Zhang is an ungrateful person.
You kindly remind me that people might think you are jealous of living in a palace in the palace.
Good intentions lead to bad things!
Also.
By this time, the men at home had returned.
They have to go back and cook quickly.
If it were one minute later, the man would have to curse.
This is how it is these days, men work hard outside to earn money to support their wives and children.
The young wives have to wash clothes, cook and take care of the children at home, and take good care of their men.
Otherwise, if you go back to your parents’ home after being scolded or wronged, you will be punished by your parents’ family.
Li Aiguo returned home, hung the canvas bag on the shelf, and asked towards the kitchen: "Is the meal ready?"
"That's good."
Chen Xueru came out , helped him change into a coat, and found another clean one.
“After a long day of work, I look like a gray mouse.”
She threw her dirty coat into the basin and hurried into the kitchen to get busy.
It’s not that Chen Xueru is mysophobic, it’s that there are too few people in the driver’s building.
My head, face, and clothes were covered with soot and slag all day long.
Li Aiguo went to the bathroom and washed his face and came out. The food was already placed on the table.
The two chatted while eating.
Chen Xueru talked at length about the work of the Daqianmen Subdistrict Office.
He hesitated and said, "I heard Director Zhang tell me to pay attention to mass relations recently. What does this mean?"
"It seems that you are about to become a formal officer. "
Seeing that Chen Xueru was still a little confused, Li Aiguo put down his chopsticks and continued: "The subdistrict office officers belong to the cadre establishment. Regardless of recruitment or promotion, the superiors must send people to the compound to investigate the relationship between the masses. "< br>
Hearing this, Chen Xueru clenched her chopsticks with her little hands, her joints turning white: "You still want to come to the compound to investigate? Then the Jia family and the Yi family will definitely say bad things behind their backs."
"Don't worry, the higher ups won't listen to one thing or another."
Li Aiguo said this and began to make calculations in his mind.
A mass investigation can be a big or small matter.
If you encounter someone so careless, just walk around the compound and ask a few questions, and that’s the end of it.
If you encounter someone who is on the line, you might really be in trouble.
You should still prepare early.
“Hey, patriotic, I’m eating.”
My thoughts have not yet settled.
A voice came from outside.
Yan Bugui stood at the door with a newspaper in his hand and looked around.
"It's the third uncle, come in quickly." Chen Xueru stood up and welcomed Yan Bugui in.
Li Aiguo's nose twitched, he looked at the ball of paper and said, "Are you selling sweet potatoes?"
"Oh, Aiguo, your nose is as good as a dog's nose." Yan Bugui was surprised.
"What are you talking about?"
"No, a dog's nose can't keep up with your nose." Yan Bugui said what he said, but when he thought something was wrong, he quickly changed his words.
With garlic mixed in his mouth, he could only say: "That's what I meant anyway."
He handed the newspaper to Li Aiguo and puffed up his chest: "This is for you."< br>
Yan Bugui obviously gave others things, but he also twitched the corners of his mouth twice, pretending to be distressed.
What, he is Yan Bugui? That's okay.
Li Aiguo doesn’t care about this old boy.
"Third uncle, what are you doing?"
"You are troubled by the solution." Yan Bugui said a little embarrassed: "This child has caused such a big trouble, if you hadn't taken action , he will definitely get a beating."
"They are all neighbors in the same compound."
Li Aiguo looked at Yan Bugui and said suddenly. : "Third uncle, what do you think of Comrade Xueru?"
This question was so confusing that Yan Bugui subconsciously said: "You are a good man. Being patriotic is not for me to praise your wife. We There are so many young wives in the compound, but few are as good as Xueru."
"That's fine. If someone asks you this, just answer like this." Li Aiguo said. .
When Yan Bugui returned home, he still couldn’t figure out what happened.
"Old lady, tell me, why did Aiguo ask me that question? He is not a show-off person.
Besides, no one would take advantage of his wife. Show off. Aren’t you afraid of being noticed by others?”
The third aunt can’t figure it out either.
Yan Jiecheng was sipping porridge. Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "Sister-in-law Xueru is about to be promoted. The higher-ups are going to do a mass survey. Brother Patriot will give our family a heads up."
He has been doing this for a while. I have seen a lot of things in the maintenance section and know many things.
“Hey, don’t tell me, it’s really possible.”
Yan Bugui narrowed his eyes and said, “Teacher Liu from our school, her husband works in the Daqianmen Street Office. It seems that they mentioned that Chen Xueru had made a meritorious service when arresting Dieter, and the street office was planning to let her become a regular worker."
The third aunt said: "Xueru is a good kid, patriotic and kind, we will do it when the time comes. I definitely can’t hold them back.”
“Of course,” Yan Bugui said, “Not only will I not hold them back, I also have to communicate with Lao Zhang’s family and Lao Niu’s family to let them do the same. Don't make trouble."
Yan Jiecheng rolled his eyes: "Dad, if Li Aiguo doesn't know what you are doing, what's the use?"
"You are still too short-sighted."
Yan Bugui wanted to teach Yan Jie a lesson, but when he saw that he was eating happily, he gave up the idea.
This boy is still young, and he will have to improve gradually in the future to support the Yan family.
Chen Xueru also felt baffled by Li Aiguo's words.
"Brother Patriot, if you want Yan Bugui to help, just give him two kilograms of peanuts."
"You have made the same mistake as a little tailor again." Li Aiguo was lying on the bed. , said with a smile: "Giving something as a gift is a bribe, purely to give others an excuse."
Chen Xueru then woke up.
“But can Yan Bugui understand?”
“Don’t worry, if it were someone else’s words, they might not be true, but this old teacher is born to speculate.”
"It's really haha."
Chen Xueru stood up from the dressing table, pursed her lips, and said with a blushing smile: "Brother Patriot, should you change into a cheongsam or yoga clothes tonight?"
"Everyone wants it!" Li Aiguo sat up straight.
The next day.
Today is a day off.
After Li Aiguo sent Chen Xueru away, he picked up the book and continued writing.
After more than a month of hard work, he has accumulated another thirty-two points.
Open the system panel.
Steam engine driving: 100;
Cooking: 15;
Bicycle driving: 95;
Geological exploration technology: 20;
Criminal investigation technology: 61;
Mechanical design technology proficiency: 60;
EMU assembly car body technology: 30;
Mechanical skill proficiency: 60:
Hand-rubbed nuclear bomb: 0;
Photolithography machine manufacturing: 0;
Postpartum care of sows: 0;
High-speed rail manufacturing technology: 0;
The current remaining skill points are 32;
Although 32 points cannot be used to complete the EMU assembly Physical technology upgraded to full level.
But it can reach master level technology and should be able to unlock many new technologies.
At this time, Li Aiguo felt a little like playing a game and upgrading.
Faced with stronger attributes, cooler skills, and more majestic characters, who can resist?
He took a deep breath and added all 32 skill points to the EMU assembly body technology on the control system panel.
In an instant.
The whole person seems to have entered a mysterious space.
Colorful light spots crowded into his mind.
Li Aiguo opened his eyes, and a lot of unfamiliar knowledge came to his mind.
This knowledge becomes easy to understand in the next second.
"Steam flow control technology, steam pressure enhancement technology, composite superconducting heat pipe technology, DC steam generation technology, fuel automatic ignition technology."
Li Aiguo briefly read through it, and his eyes suddenly widened. There was a burst of ecstasy in my heart.
Just as he expected.
Master skills can unlock new and new technologies.
It’s just that most of these technologies are limited by current conditions and cannot be practical.
But Li Aiguo is not in a hurry.
Just a step-by-step guide.
One day, he will be able to master all the technologies related to trains.
Introduction can make these technologies practical through the Railway Research Institute and contribute to railway construction.
After all the skill points were spent, Li Aiguo reincarnated himself into a good student and took out a book called "Physiological Hygiene" from the bookcase to study it.
In order to facilitate liver points, when cleaning up the house, Li Aiguo specially commissioned Captain Liu to build a large bookcase.
The bookcase has three shelves and can hold hundreds of books.
As for the source of the books, it was naturally Wang Dakui who got them from the collective scrap shop.
When Li Aiguo encounters valuable ancient books, he will keep them after reading them.
Those Datong goods will be sent back to the collective scrap shop and eventually sent to the Beijing scrap recycling company.
Wang Dakui collected the books and Li Aiguo read them. This formed a perfect cycle and did not cost much. Li Aiguo no longer has to go to the library to borrow books, which saves a lot of time.
Inside the house.
Li Aiguo was looking at it with enthusiasm when there was a crisp knock on the door.
Put down the book and open the door.
Looking at Wang Tingting standing outside the door, Li Aiguo was slightly stunned.
"Driver Li, have you forgotten? Help me revise the press release?" Wang Tingting reminded with a smile.
“I really forgot about it.”
Li Aiguo smiled sheepishly and let Wang Tingting into the house.
By the way, I observed this girl in a subtle way.
Although he looks average, he is pretty, and he speaks softly, so he must have a good personality.
“Your house is really well organized.” Wang Tingting walked around the house with her canvas bag.
The house is fully furnished, as well as a radio, a TV, and sanitary skirts painted on the corners. Even if it is the home of a district leader, it is nothing more than that.
"My friends helped me clean it up. If your house is being renovated, I can help you introduce a reliable construction team."
Li Aiguo poured tea for her and served it. .
"That's not necessary." Wang Tingting seemed to have something to hide and changed the subject.
Li Aiguo didn't ask any questions, took the press release from her, spread it under the desk lamp, and studied it carefully.
"Director Wang, your article is very well written. It is clear and organized, with no typos or grammatical errors."
Li Aiguo was a little surprised.
It’s not that he underestimates the propaganda officers of these days.
But most of these comrades have junior high school or high school education and have no ability to write articles.
"I especially like reading on weekdays. I was originally able to get into college."
"It turns out that I am a high-level intellectual. No wonder." Li Aiguo praised.
Li Aiguo once heard Director Wang talk about Wang Tingting.
This girl is the daughter of her uncle's family. Her family conditions are average, but the key is that she picked her up.
Wang Tingting's academic performance was ranked first in the capital at first, considering that her family conditions were really difficult.
My brother is getting married soon, and my adoptive father and mother are in poor health, so I gave up going to college and started working.
Otherwise, she might already be sitting in the classroom of the Department of Literature at Kyungseong University.
Humans, like those beasts, are also environmental animals.
Sometimes even if you have the ability, you can only choose to give in due to the environment.
Li Aiguo, a man of two generations, has seen this kind of thing too much and has long been accustomed to it.
I don’t feel particularly sorry for Wang Tingting.
In this day and age, the saying that gold will always shine is not just a sentence of chicken soup.
"This press release can be treated as an ordinary manuscript, and there is no problem. But if you want to submit it to a major newspaper, you have to refine it again."
Li Aiguo pointed at the manuscript and said : "In addition to paying attention to current affairs hot spots, reporting relevant events, and meeting readers' information needs, the most important thing for press releases is to publicize the above policies and promote social integrity.
Look at the report here, you wrote a little "Not in place"
As soon as the expert takes action, he will know whether it is there or not. Wang Tingting's eyes gradually brightened when she heard it.
Li Aiguo just added a few words to it, and the quality of the entire report immediately improved a lot.
The tip of the pen was writing on the manuscript paper, and Wang Tingting began to revise it seriously.
The sun shines in, and the house is filled with light, giving it a sense of tranquility.
Suddenly.
A voice came from outside the door.
"Qin Huairu, what are you doing at the door of the patriotic country?"
"Ah, Aunt Liu, me"
Qin Huairu was peeking inside through the crack in the door. Aunt Liu was frightened and took two steps back involuntarily.
There was a high threshold behind, and Qin Huairu stumbled with her heels on the threshold, knocked open the door, and fell into the room.
Ignoring the pain, she stood up from the ground and dusted herself off.
“Brother Patriot, where are you at home? My cotton pants are torn.
It's getting colder and colder. Children can't stand the cold. I just wanted to borrow your sewing machine. "
Li Aiguo smiled: "Where are the cotton pants? "
"Ah" Qin Huairu was empty-handed and blushed.
She hesitated and said: "I forgot it at home. I'll go back and get it. "
After saying that, she ran away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Once she left, she would definitely not come back.
"This vixen, He must have seen a girl guest coming to your house and wanted to take advantage of it. ”
Aunt Liu is usually a kind and kind old lady. She never gets along with the residents in the compound, but she only has a bad impression of Qin Huairu.
When Qin Huairu left the Li family When the time came, Aunt Liu went to block the door of Jia’s house.
“Auntie, why are you acting like a deaf old lady. ”
"What, I can't hear. I've been a little deaf recently. Aiguo, are you reading?"
Aunt Liu did not leave, but walked into the house holding on to the door frame.
Li Aiguo saw Aunt Liu's eyes wandering around wildly, and looked at Wang Tingting from time to time.
Understand her worries.
Pointing to Wang Tingting, he introduced: "Auntie, this is Comrade Wang Tingting, the propaganda officer of our district committee."
"It's Leader Wang. Patriot, you are busy, I still have to Go back and cook for Yu Yu.”
Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left.
Before leaving, she deliberately opened the door to let in the sunshine from outside.
"Some people just don't have good intentions. Patriotic district leaders, if any of you dare to talk behind your back, I will call the police to arrest you."
Window The figure in front shook, and from time to time there was the sound of a chair falling to the ground, followed by painful groans.
Good guy, I installed so many cameras without realizing it.
Li Aiguo originally thought that Aunt Liu was acting like a child, but now she understands.
Ginger is still spicy!
Wang Tingting also realized this and said with a blushing face: "I'm sorry, Driver Li, but I was negligent and caused you trouble."
"It's bad, your mouth is on someone else. I’m not happy that others have said it.”
Li Aiguo ignored those people and told Wang Tingting two key points.
“After this modification, the article will be almost ready. But if you want to be published in a major newspaper, an editor will finally recommend it for you.”
“I’ll give it a try”
< br>Wang Tingting is a very good girl. No matter her words or actions, she reminds Li Aiguo of an animal - a rabbit.
Too timid, panicking at the slightest sign of trouble.
As an adopted daughter, her life in the Wang family should be difficult.
"That's alright, I won't let you eat anymore."
At noon, Li Aiguo sent Wang Tingting out of the courtyard in a swagger.
At this time, Qin Huairu was already squatting by the pool in the middle courtyard and washing clothes.
Seeing the two of them walking out side by side, she muttered in a low voice: "Chen Xueru is not at home, and Li Aiguo provoked the girl back again."
The aunt reminded: "Huairu, don't talk nonsense Genzi, Aunt Liu just said that this girl is the leader of the district committee. Do you still want to cause trouble? "
"Who knows if it is true?" Qin Huairu pursed her lips.
Hearing this, the aunt smiled bitterly and shook her head.
My mouth tasted like vinegar.
This little wife still hasn’t forgotten what happened in the past.
After leaving the courtyard, Li Aiguo waved to Wang Tingting and sent her away, preparing to go back to the house.
Wang Dakui came over holding a pile of books.
Looking at Wang Tingting's back, he wondered: "Brother Patriot, that girl seems to be Secretary Wang of the District Committee?"
"It is indeed Secretary Wang of the District Committee."
< br>Li Aiguo answered casually.
Took the book and flipped through it casually.
Most of these books are comic strips, and Wang Dakui really paid attention to them this time.
Even if you read comic books, you can redeem fewer points.
But the number of words in a comic book may be only one-twentieth of a book.
In terms of production efficiency, it is quite cost-effective.
Wang Dakui looked back, pretending to be unintentional and asked: "What is Mr. Wang doing here?"
"To help revise the article, Wang Tingting wrote a press release related to disaster relief"
>Halfway through speaking, Li Aiguo suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Dakui, his eyes widened: "Do you have any ideas about Director Wang?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense."
Wang Dakui usually There is a whirring sound inside.
But at this moment, there was a rare shyness on his face.
His cheeks were slightly red, which reminded Li Aiguo of the maple leaves in Fragrant Mountain this season.
With a trace of imperceptible panic in his eyes, Wang Dakui scratched his head: "Last time our collective scrap shop went to the district committee to go through the formalities, but we couldn't find the leader's office. Comrade Wang Tingting helped lead the way.
This girl is very nice. She even helped me revise the application form, otherwise things would not have gone so smoothly.”
“This girl is indeed very nice,” Li Aiguo said with a slight smile. A smile appeared.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Wang Dakui and Wang Tingting are quite a match.
Wang Dakui's background was a bit poor.
But now he is the manager of a collective scrap shop, so he is young and promising.
And he just did not graduate from a technical secondary school, and his educational level is not low at all.
Wang Tingting is a picked-up girl. She is not welcomed at home. If she gets married, life will probably be much easier.
Of course, this kind of thing requires two people to be willing to do it.
Seeing that Wang Dakui was embarrassed, Li Aiguo pretended not to notice.
After chatting with him about the scrap shop, he returned to the courtyard.
After Wang Dakui returned to the scrap shop, he shouted at Zhang Erpao: "Erpao, take out those three ancient books! I also want to learn culture."
" What ancient book?" Zhang Erpao's eyes widened, feeling that Da Kui had taken the wrong medicine.
""Words about Jin Ping Mei", "New Embroidered Portraits Criticizing Jin Ping Mei", "Zhang Zhupo's No. 1 Criticism of Jin Ping Mei"!"
Wang Dakui shouted at the top of his lungs.
These three books were his treasures and he was not willing to give them to Li Aiguo.
This time I want to learn cultural knowledge well.
I hope that one day I can help Wang Tingting revise her article.
*

Afternoon.
As soon as Li Aiguo changed into his work clothes, Yan Jiecheng knocked on the door.
"Brother Patriot, let's set off. It's fifty or sixty miles from the capital to Wei Zhuang, and we have to pass through Lingdong Mountain. The mountain road is difficult to walk, so don't get caught in the dark."
"Are you ready to exchange food? Ticket? "
Li Aiguo suddenly asked as he walked out of the door with his canvas bag in hand.
Yan Jiecheng was stunned for a moment and quickly smiled: "It's just more than ten kilograms of national food stamps. I didn't plan to bother you. You also know my father's temper. If you insist on saying that there is oil in the national food stamps, we If you can’t take it out, you might as well give it to someone else.”
Yes, he really thinks about everything.
Exchanging food stamps is a win-win situation. Li Aiguo didn't care and took Yan Jiecheng to the locomotive depot.
At this time, a gas truck was heard on the station.
The driver is Zhang Tieniu from the trucking class.
As his name suggests, the young man is stocky, dark-skinned, and has a short head. He looks like a young bull.
Li Aiguo once drank with him, which was considered a casual relationship.
"Tieniu, is this your shift today?"
"Yes, I've been running for half a month, and I originally planned to rest for two days. Seeing as it's your brother's job, we have to take it no matter what. Come down." Zhang Tieniu is also an experienced driver and is very eloquent.
In fact, the truck drivers of the locomotive depot transportation team also have mileage tasks.
If you run enough miles every month, you will get a bonus.
Of course, the conditions of each mission are different, the road conditions are different, the environment is different, and the mileage of mission conversion is also different.
For example, this time we have to go through a mountain road, which is a relatively difficult task, and the calculated mileage is also relatively high.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Li Aiguo opened the door and got in the car and sat in the passenger seat, while Yan Jiecheng stood in the car compartment.
Actually, the GAZ trucks of this era can seat three people in the front row.
Just sitting in the driver's cabin, those older girls and younger wives can't be seen.
Walking at night in pure brocade clothes.
This damn vanity. Li Aiguo rolled down the window, lit a cigarette and started smoking comfortably.
Zhang Tieniu stuck out his butt and shook the truck, but did not get on.
Instead, he walked around the truck, then opened the door and sat in the driver's seat.
Seeing Li Aiguo's surprised expression, Zhang Tieniu explained with a smile while carrying the gear on his back.
“You need to circle around the truck before driving. This is the rule of our truck fleet. It seems to have been invented by the comrades in the locomotive depot.”
“We didn’t care at first. , I think this is just another formality for taking off your pants and farting.”
“Last month, the team leader Zhang was lying under the car playing with the shock absorbers, and an apprentice driver suddenly started the truck. He was shocked. You have to cry for your father and mother.”
“Since then, this rule has become an ironclad rule.”
Li Aiguo: “.”
He seemed to have been prostituted for nothing again.
He didn’t even leave his name.
