Train 3184 from Beijing to Tianshui stopped at the platform.
The swallow stood on the platform, looking anxiously into the distance.
Yesterday Li Aiguo said he would come to see her off.
Having not seen anyone yet, this girl is inevitably a little anxious.
After leaving the capital this time, there is no hope of meeting again. Yanzi also wants to wave goodbye to his comrades.
At this time, a tall figure ran over from the crowded crowd.
“Patriot, I’m here!” Yan Zi felt happy and waved happily to the figure.
Li Aiguo found Yanzi in the crowd and walked over quickly.
The way Yanzi is dressed today is obviously different from the past.
She was wearing a blue and black overalls made of twill fabric, with a sea tiger velvet collar sewn on the collar. This collar was artificially made and very warm.
On her feet were a pair of cotton rubber shoes, made of black canvas, lined with white coarse cloth, with felt sandwiched in the middle, and the soles were made of rubber.
This kind of shoes is warm and strong, and if it is torn, you can twist the twine to repair the shoes yourself. They are very popular among field workers.
There is a marching rucksack on my back. The rucksack is tied tightly with ropes and is square and square, just like tofu cubes.
At this time, Yanzi looks like an ordinary passenger traveling far away, perfectly blending into the surrounding environment.
The only conspicuous thing is the marching hat she wears on her head.
This kind of hat with red meaning makes the originally simple girl look somewhat heroic.
Seeing that there were no Yanzi family members around, Li Aiguo frowned slightly: "Comrade Yanzi, didn't your family come to see you off?"
"Send it off? Why do you want to send it off? I'm not He's a kid."
Yanzi looked confused: "When my eldest brother went to the battlefield in the north, he left alone in the middle of the night. I wanted to send him away, but he was scolded by my old man."
Li Aiguo: "."
The Yan family is really independent.
No wonder a girl with a personality like Yan Zi was cultivated.
The two chatted for a while.
Li Aiguo took out two pairs of shoe mats from the canvas bag and handed them to Yanzi, and explained Aunt Zhao's commission.
"Liu Tianquan and Liu Diquan are prospectors of the geological exploration team. If you meet them, hand the shoe insoles to them."
Yanzi looked at the shoe insoles, feeling a little embarrassed. : "Patriot, you may not understand the discipline there. When these insoles arrive in the northwest, they will probably be cut into pieces before they can be handed over to them."
Good guy, the inspection is so strict, even the insoles Don't let go either.
Li Aiguo thought about it carefully and felt relieved.
Growing mushrooms is related to your future destiny, so no matter how cautious you are, you can’t be too cautious.
At the same time, he also understood a little more about the burdens on the shoulders of Lao Mao Yanzi and others.
If Li Aiguo hadn't still been working in the maintenance section, he would have really wanted to fight side by side with these comrades in the Northwest.
What a pity.
“It doesn’t matter, the thread in the mother’s hand and the clothes on the wanderer’s body, even if they are cut into pieces, represent the old mother’s heart.”
Li Aiguo sighed with emotion. sentence, stuffing the shoe mat into Yanzi's hand.
Yanzi bit her lip and said, "Don't worry, the investigation team is responsible for reviewing the personnel, and there is a high chance of encountering them."
The words fell.
The two of them were relatively speechless.
In the hustle and bustle of the train station, they seemed to be overwhelmed by the crowd and the noise.
Facing the train that was about to leave, Li Aiguo broke the silence, his voice was low and warm, "Comrade Yanzi, I wish you success in your work, strive to make significant contributions to the country, and take good care of yourself at the same time. And .Be more beautiful!”
Yanzi bit her lower lip, trying not to shed tears, “You too, remember to write to me often”
Their hands were held tightly together, and this was the first time Yanzi felt the warm body temperature.
The depths of her heart were like an untouched lake, crystal clear and calm. However, there was a breeze blowing at this time, causing ripples on the lake surface.
Yanzi, who had always been fearless, suddenly panicked.
She had just rehearsed what she wanted to say in her mind, but now when facing this man, she always stuttered and was incoherent.
"Patriotic Driver Li. The car is about to leave, I'm leaving!"
Yanzi chose the most common approach, cutting through the mess quickly.
She turned around and ran into the carriage in a panic.
"Hey, wait!"
Li Aiguo's voice came from behind, and she didn't stop until she sat down in her seat, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yanzi, Yanzi, what are you afraid of? You and Driver Li are just ordinary comrades-in-arms, what are you afraid of!"
Yanzi told herself repeatedly, and her mood gradually calmed down.
"Yanzi, you are here, make it easy for me to find you."
At this time, Li Aiguo's voice came to his ears again. Yanzi was startled and raised his head suddenly.
"Why are you here? Do you also want to go to the northwest with me? I will inform Lao Mao right away, and he will definitely agree."
"No."
Li Aiguo turned around, looked at the conductor of train 3184, and said with a smile: "Captain Zhang, this is my friend, who is going to Tianshui. The journey there is too far. Can you arrange a camping car for her?" "
Yanzi made a big blush at that time.
Oh my God, what did she just say.
But she felt warm in her heart. This was the first time someone cared about her travel.
Captain Zhang had met Li Aiguo at a commendation meeting and heard about Li Aiguo’s deeds, so he agreed without hesitation.
"Driver Li, don't worry."
"How much does it cost?" Li Aiguo looked at the customers next to him and lowered his voice.
Selling camper van berths is an unspoken rule for charter groups.
The reason why unspoken rules are called unspoken rules is because they cannot be put on the table.
“We are all our own people regardless of whether they have money or not. I will save you the opportunity to trouble my brother by then.” Captain Zhang waved his hand and refused.
This is true. Who doesn’t have a few relatives?
So generally, car captains and train driver family members do not need to pay extra when traveling in a camping car.
Li Aiguo does not agree with this approach.
I just adhere to the principle that when you go to a country, you need to follow the customs, learn to accept when you get into the world, go with the flow instead of following the crowd, and don’t get your hands dirty when using money.
No matter what era you are in, being alone never ends well.
"It's easy to say, we are all brothers. If you have anything to do, you can just tell me." Li Aiguo patted Commander Zhang on the arm.
Captain Zhang became even more enthusiastic.
The flight attendant was called to help Yanzi get her luggage and send her to the camping car.
Li Aiguo then helped Yanzi exchange water tickets, first-class meal tickets, and bought her a pack of fried peanuts on the platform.
Lying on the soft sleeper, watching Li Aiguo busy up and down, Yan Zi felt like a flower blooming in spring.
"Comrade Yanzi, have a nice journey and good work!" When it was time to drive, Li Aiguo said hello, turned around and got out of the car.
Yanzi wanted to say something else, but he had disappeared.
Woooo
The train is starting.
The swallow looks out from the car window.
Li Aiguo's figure became farther and farther among the crowd, and finally disappeared.
Sent away the swallow.
Li Aiguo’s life was back on track, and the weekend came unknowingly.
This weekend coincides with a holiday.
Li Aiguo wandered to the collective scrap shop, ready to check the latest accounts.
As for the operation of the collective scrap shop, he has always adhered to the principle of settling accounts between brothers.
Human nature cannot stand the test.
No matter how close brothers are, they may become alienated in the face of interests.
Enter the scrap shop.
The courtyard was crowded with people selling scraps, but only Zhang Erpao was busy.
Zhang Erpao was already short, but when he was busy, he was like a spinning top.
One moment I was helping the uncle weigh waste paper, and the next moment I was checking the broken coal stove that my aunt had given me. I didn’t even have time to drink water.
Li Aiguo stepped forward and helped for a while.
Although he was not a professional rag man, he was familiar with collecting scraps. Soon the long queue outside the scrap shop disappeared.
"Auntie, these books of yours weigh a total of three pounds and twenty taels. This is one cent and two cents. Take it."
Sent away the last customer, Li Aiguo stood up and looked at Zhang Erpao asked: "Where is your cousin?"
"My brother said this, I can't tell you." Zhang Erpao blinked.
Damn it, this kid is even smarter.
Li Aiguo didn't care. He went into the house and picked out a few old books before preparing to go back.
Zhang Erpao was someone who couldn't hold back his words. He couldn't bear it now and came up to him and whispered: "Brother Patriot, I told you, you must not tell my brother. ”
"Baby boy, you are teasing me!" Li Aiguo said with a straight face.
Zhang Erpao was startled.
Only then did he remember who the real boss was in the scrap shop.
Don’t look at Li Aiguo’s usual cheerfulness.
If you really encounter trouble, you will be ruthless.
Zhang Erpao swallowed his saliva and lowered his voice: "Brother, he has found a partner. He is walking in the park with the older girl right now! The two of them were together, but when they got tired of it, they almost ran away. Yes. I saw him yesterday."
Who are you talking about?
Li Aiguo narrowed his eyes: "Is he the propaganda officer in the district? His name is Wang Tingting?"
"Hey, hey, how come you know everything?" Zhang Erpao stared wide-eyed. Eyes, a look of disbelief on his face.
“Be more careful in the store today and don’t make people look bad!”
Li Aiguo ignored him, walked around the store with his hands behind his back, took out two copies of "Jin Ping Mei" from the shelf, put them in his arms and left.
"Hey, hey, that's my brother's study material."
Zhang Erpao looked at Li Aiguo's back and reached out to call him, but in the end he put down his hand.
It seems that Dakui and Wang Tingting are really getting along.
This is a good thing for us. After all, we no longer have to help him pick up his wife by the railroad tracks.
When Li Aiguo returned home, Chen Xueru had already tidied up the house. When he saw the man putting books on the bookshelf, he asked curiously: "What book is it?"
"Nothing, two books Learning materials."
"." Chen Xueru rolled her eyes cutely, thinking that she, the literacy class teacher, didn't know the words!
But if you think about it carefully, the man is right, that book is really for studying.
Chen Xueru pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's rare that we all take a break today. How about going to the tailor shop for lunch at noon? My dad has been nagging me recently. You are busy with work, so you don't go to his place anymore."
The matter of Tailor Zhao’s arrest has been kept secret from the old man.
It is very scary to have an old house on fire. Chen Fangxuan was half buried in the loess. He finally got a sunset red, but the woman was nowhere to be seen. She has been feeling a little depressed recently.
As a daughter, Chen Xueru often went to the tailor shop after get off work to sit for a while and chat with him.
"Today is the weekend. Village Chief Wei may be here. Let's go to your father's house in the evening."
Li Aiguo thought of Village Chief Wei's commission and stayed at home Inside, he was writing a book while waiting for Village Chief Wei to come to the capital.
Chen Xueru also knew that Li Aiguo had promised Village Chief Wei to get cloth tickets, so he agreed immediately and took advantage of the weekend to wash all the clothes at home.
The young couple of the Li family started working on their own.
The entrance of the courtyard at this time.
Two comrades wearing Chinese tunic suits came.
They are comrades from the district group department and are responsible for investigating relations between cadres and the masses.
"The temporary worker at the Daqianmen Sub-district Office who wants to become a regular employee is called Chen Xueru. He only joined the Sub-district Office for half a year and got the chance to become a regular employee. The time is too short. We should pay more attention later."
Director Wang turned around and warned. Officer Liu.
Director Liu looked at the materials in his hand, nodded and said: "Don't worry, Lao Wang, the only thing our team is working on is a big iron door to keep out those with ulterior motives. ”
The two of them did not deliberately embarrass Chen Xueru.
It’s just that Chen Xueru’s time in entering the street office was too short.
The so-called political achievements are nothing more than doing a good job in literacy work.
Assisting Li Aiguo to arrest Dieter was not recorded in the file. Therefore, these political achievements appear to be too thin.
No matter in which era, there is a huge gap between temporary workers and regular workers.
In particular, the sub-district office officers have cadre status and deserve special scrutiny.
The two entered the courtyard and first found Yan Bugui in the front yard to talk.
Yanbu Gui saw that the two of them had extraordinary bearings, especially Director Liu who had a pen in his coat pocket, and he immediately understood their identities.
"Comrade leader, please sit down."
After Yan Bugui asked someone to sit down, he shouted at the third aunt at the top of his voice: "Old lady, it's a little dark in the room, hurry up and go Ride a bicycle!”
These words confused both of them.
The room is dark, please turn on the light! What kind of bicycle are you riding?
When I saw the third aunt walking quickly outside the door and pedaling her bicycle, the light bulbs in the room flickered twice and turned on.
Both of them could not help but swallow their saliva.
The true identity of this old teacher comrade is a great scientist!
The invention is very practical, but it is too tiring.
Director Liu felt that he could not waste any more time. It would be a sin if he exhausted the lady outside the door.
He said directly: "Comrade Yan Bugui, this time we are here to investigate the situation of Comrade Chen Xueru."
"I hope you can return to our questions truthfully. Don't deceive us in any way. . "
Yan Bugui has seen many such scenes, and his face became serious: "Don't worry, I am the third uncle in the courtyard and a teacher in the school. I have advanced ideas and have been actively seeking progress. A while ago. I also submitted an application to join the organization.
I will definitely cooperate with your work."
Director Liu: "What do you think of Comrade Chen Xueru? What is her relationship with your family? "
"Comrade Chen Xueru is a good comrade, enthusiastic about helping others, respecting the elderly and caring for the young. Who wouldn't praise this girl in the courtyard on weekdays? "
Yan Bugui paused for a moment and organized? He picked up the words and said:
“She is a very kind, sincere and caring person. She is always willing to help others, does not care about personal gains and losses, and treats everyone very kindly and considerately”
"This Chen Xueru is simply a perfect person!"
Officer Liu was dumbfounded.
Where is the old teacher here memorizing model compositions? !
However, he did not interrupt, but asked Director Wang to record it.
And asked Yan Bugui to sign his name on the back of the record book.
There are so many residents in the compound. Even if Chen Xueru plays tricks and deceives, he cannot deceive all the residents.
If it can, it can only mean that she has really done a good job in mass relations.
"Comrade Yan Bugui, thank you for your cooperation. We still have work to do, so we have to leave first."
Director Liu walked out of the house and saw that the third aunt was already sweating profusely. I felt sad in my heart.
This was the first time he had seen such a stingy person.
The two of them went door to door to conduct a mass survey, and the residents were full of praise when they mentioned Chen Xueru.
"This girl is a good person. She took the initiative to mend my grandson's trousers."
"Last time I had a distinguished guest at my house and I borrowed half a bowl of fine white noodles from her, and she agreed immediately. "
"She is very filial to the old man, and she almost treats Aunt Liu as her own mother."
Director Liu looked at the records in the material book and nodded: "It seems that this is Chen Xueru. Comrade, you are really a good comrade.”
“We still have several families to investigate, including Yi Zhonghai’s family, Xu Damao’s family, Nan Yi’s family, and Jia Zhang’s family”
“Let’s go to Xu Damao’s family first. Well, it shows that he is a projectionist. This kind of person often goes to the countryside to show movies and is often not at home. Let's not delay things."
The two walked quickly to Xu Damao's house.
At this time, new guests were welcomed outside the compound.
This time it was an ox cart.
If in future generations, the king who drives the bullock cart stutters, he will definitely be punished until he loses his pants.
In these days, ox carts are still often seen in the capital. It is often the case that jeeps, bicycles, and ox carts stand in one lane and walk side by side on the same street.
What? Bullock carts tend to produce waste, thereby polluting the environment?
That was high-quality farmyard manure, and the members were reluctant to throw it away on the street.
Every time he goes to the city, the oxcart carries a wooden barrel, which is enough to return the manure to the fields.
“Oh oh oh oh.”
Wang stuttered and gently pulled the reins, stopped the ox cart, and looked up at the gate of the courtyard.
"Village Chief, Driver Li lives here?"
"Probably."
Village Chief Wei took a piece of paper from his pocket , looked at the address above and nodded: "Yes, this is the compound at No. 98, South Tongluo Lane."
"Driver Li lives in the backyard. Bring your things and let's go in."
Village Chief Lao Wei gathered up his coat, jumped off the bullock cart, and strode towards the yard.
Wang Stutter tied the reins to the big tree, picked up the sack on the bullock cart, and followed him quickly.
When the two of them entered the yard, they were both a little confused.
“There are so many houses here, which one is Driver Li’s house?” Wang stuttered and rubbed his eyes.
I don’t blame them for not being able to figure it out.
There are houses in the courtyard, and there are no house numbers. Even if you get the address, it is not easy to find out the specific location.
At this time, Ding Qiunan came in carrying a medical kit.
Today, she took advantage of Sunday to check up on the health of the ladies and gentlemen in the compound.
This is also the idea Li Aiguo gave her, to be more positive at work.
Ding Qiunan didn’t take it seriously at first and just subconsciously listened to his words.
However, I soon discovered that my reputation in the community hospital had greatly improved.
Everyone knows that there is a little doctor in a community hospital who gives up his rest time and takes the initiative to serve the people.
Even the leaders of the subdistrict office talked to Ding Qiunan and said that they had applied to their superiors to restore her exam qualifications.
Tomorrow summer, Ding Qiunan will be able to take the college entrance examination.
It stands to reason that having achieved his goal, Ding Qiunan no longer has to work so hard.
She found that she seemed to like volunteer work.
Watching those key patients recovering from health, her heart was always filled with joy.
It feels so good to help people
With emotion, Ding Qiunan saw Village Chief Wei and Zhang Stuttering.
Seeing the two people looking confused, Ding Qiunan took the initiative to walk over and asked: "Uncle, uncle, are you looking for someone?"
"Hey, comrade girl, we're looking for Driver Li." Village Chief Wei said quickly.
"Driver Li, are you looking for Brother Patriot?" Ding Qiunan's eyes lit up.
“Yes, yes, driver Li’s name is Aiguo.”
“He lives in the backyard, I will take you there.”
Ding Qiunan took Village Chief Wei and Zhang stuttered to the backyard, walked to the door of Li's house and knocked on the door.
Li Aiguo was writing a book when Chen Xueru opened the door and came out.
Seeing Ding Qiunan standing outside, with two comrades standing behind her, I suddenly understood.
"Sister-in-law Xueru, these two comrades are looking for Brother Patriot."
"Is it Village Chief Wei? Aiguo is waiting for you at home."
Chen Xueru said to him The two said hello, and seeing Ding Qiunan about to leave, they hurriedly said: "Dr. Ding, would you like to sit at home for a while?"
"No, I have to check Aunt Liu's body first."
Ding Qiunan looked at Chen Xueru, bit her lip, turned and walked towards Liu's house.
Her back looks a little aloof, like a lonely white swan.
There was a coldness in her eyes, as if she had long been aloof from the troubles of the world.
This is the deepest impression Ding Qiunan left on Chen Xueru.
It's a pity that this is the human world, full of worldly dust. Chen Xueru withdrew her gaze and enthusiastically let Village Chief Wei and Zhang Stutter into the house.
"Brother Patriot, the comrades from Weijiazhuang are here."
Hearing the sound, Li Aiguo stood up early and came out to greet him.
He asked Chen Xueru to help pour tea and asked the two of them to sit down.
Zhang Stuttered, looking a little reserved at the 'luxury' furnishings in the house.
"Li Li Li Li, driver, I'm dirty, it's Miata's fault. It's a pity that your leather cushion is dirty when I sit on it." Zhang stuttered, looking at the sofa cushion, and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Mother Rite, why do city people enjoy it so much? They moved the bed onto a chair.
Li Aiguo took his arm and pushed him onto the chair. He laughed and said: "Brother Zhang, how can working people be dirty? I am also an organization person. Do you want me to make mistakes?" ?”
As the captain of the militia, Zhang Stutter can be regarded as the leading figure in Weijiazhuang.
But when I entered the capital, I saw pedestrians wearing unpatched clothes, real socks, and bright shoes.
He lowered his head and looked at his trousers sewn with linen, his patched coat, and the shoes on his feet with five toes exposed.
A strange feeling came to his heart, and Zhang stuttered as if he had come to a place that did not belong to him.
Hearing the sincere words and seeing Li Aiguo's sincere look, Zhang Stutter was moved in his heart.
He sat carefully on the edge of the sofa, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Driver Li Li Li, you are a good person! My wife's affairs are all thanks to you."
mentioned Regarding this matter, Li Aiguo took a sip of tea and asked: "How is Hongtaoer doing now?"
"What the hell, of course it's very good. She's on probation. As long as she doesn't make mistakes, she'll be fine. Yesterday Hong Tao'er took the plow by herself and plowed five acres of fields! She can't even put her head on a big pillar. Go down."
"She said she saved her life thanks to you. You are her great benefactor."
"This is a gift from her." br>
Zhang stuttered as he spoke, picked up the sack at his feet and opened his mouth.
Inside is the red pig peach.
“Don’t worry, these pig peaches are definitely not poisonous!” Zhang stuttered and scratched his head and said with a smile.
Toxic? When Chen Xueru heard this, her eyes suddenly widened and she looked at Li Aiguo with concern.
This rough man encountered such a dangerous thing in the countryside.
“Let’s not mention this anymore.”
Li Aiguo winked at Zhang Stuttering, and Zhang Stuttering finally reacted and quickly closed his mouth.
He felt that he was causing driver Li trouble again.
In addition to pig peaches, there is also a green melon that looks like a pumpkin.
The reason why pumpkins are called pumpkins is because they are produced in the south. Are they also available here in the capital?
Village Chief Wei smiled and explained: "This is a gift from Dabao's family. Although Dabao's mother is not in good health, she is good at growing fruits. She planted these in the ditch on the side of the mountain. Melon seeds.
It’s not a valuable thing. It’s a treat for you.”
“This is a good thing!”
Li Aiguo hasn’t eaten it since he came to the capital. Over pumpkin.
Ask Chen Xueru to put the sacks away and give some to Aunt Liu later.
After chatting for a while, Li Aiguo asked: "Village chief, how many cloth tickets do you need this time."
"I don't know, just enough to make a set of ostentatious clothes." Village Chief Wei smiled and said, "This is for my son-in-law."
"It just so happens that my wife is a tailor. Tell her about your son-in-law's situation and let her calculate it for you." Li Aiguo said.
Chen Xueru stepped forward: "Village chief, how tall and how much does your son-in-law weigh? What kind of clothes do you need to make."
Here Chen Xueru is helping Village Chief Wei count the pieces of cloth.
On the other side, Director Liu and Director Wang came out of Xu Damao's home.
"The Xu family also has a very good impression of Comrade Chen Xueru. Her promotion this time should be a certainty."
"Let's go to the Jia family now"
The two of them left When I arrived at Jia's house in the Zhongyuan, I discovered that it was a construction site.
"Where are the Jia family members?"
Looking at the busy workers, both of them couldn't help but scratch their heads.
Xu Damao followed behind and whispered: "At Yi Zhonghai's house!"
