The sun sets in the west and the breeze blows.
Today is a rare sunny day in winter, and the capital is much warmer than yesterday.
The wind blowing is no longer so biting, with a touch of gentleness.
At the end of the day, the road was crowded with many workers after get off work.
Bicycles in twos and threes jingled past.
People walking saw the shiny bicycles with envy in their eyes.
Xu Damao met Li Aiguo at the gate, talking and walking towards the courtyard.
"Patriot, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, I want to buy some bananas for the children, I heard you have a way." Xu Damao winked.
"How much?" Li Aiguo stopped.
“Not much, just ten pounds.”
"Ten pounds." Li Aiguo looked Xu Damao up and down with confusion on his face.
After this guy got married to Liu Lan, he was very enthusiastic about Hai Long and Haitao at first, and almost regarded the two children as his own sons.
It’s just that as time goes by, Xu Damao seems to have awakened a little, and usually ignores his two children.
How can you be willing to buy so many bananas for the children? I'm afraid that at the end of the year, you have to go to the leader's house to give gifts?
Feeling Li Aiguo's gaze, Xu Damao felt inexplicably guilty. Just as he was about to explain, Li Aiguo spoke.
"Okay, I'll ask my friend to put the bananas in the same place. You can just put the money there in advance."
Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Aiguo didn't pursue it and thanked him repeatedly. .
"Patriotic brother, you are still interesting enough."
"You're welcome, Brother Damao, we are neighbors. If I don't help you, who can I help?"
Two People chatted and walked towards the courtyard.
"Patriot, are you off work?" Yan Bugui asked with a smile while standing at the door.
"I went to the countryside for a trip. I didn't have anything else to do today, so I came back early." Li Aiguo said with a smile.
Yan Bugui nodded and said: "I heard that you like flowers very much. I just divided two pots of chrysanthemums. They are very beautiful. If you want them, I will make a pot and send it to your home. "
"I'm afraid I won't be able to raise them well, and it will be troublesome to take care of the flowers and plants," Li Aiguo said hesitantly.
"This is simple. You can put the flower pots under the eaves and I will help you clean them up when I have time."
"Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Third ." Li Aiguo nodded.
The third uncle has a guilty conscience and is afraid that his arrest will be leaked.
"Haha, you're welcome. Neighbors help each other." The third uncle said with a smile.
The two were chatting here, and Xu Damao was dumbfounded watching from the side.
The third uncle is the kind of person who has to pull out a filament from a white paper light bulb and lose money if he doesn’t pick it up on the walkway. Now he was willing to give chrysanthemums to Li Aiguo.
What happened to this world?
Li Aiguo exchanged greetings with the third uncle and pushed his bicycle towards the central courtyard.
At this time, Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai were queuing up by the pool to fetch water.
Seeing Li Aiguo walking in, the two of them were stunned for a moment. Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong, and Liu Haizhong looked at Yi Zhonghai. Their eyes were rolling around.
Liu Haizhong was the first to put down the bucket and walked over. He greeted Li Aiguo with a smile: "Aiguo, you are back. Is your home short of water? I will help you carry it."
"No need. Second uncle, you forgot, my house has water pipes."
Yi Zhonghai saw Liu Haizhong taking the lead, and worried about being caught, he quickly followed: "Aiguo, please stop cooking tonight. Relatives in the countryside brought fresh sweet potatoes and they came to my house to eat sweet potato porridge in the evening. "
"You're welcome, Xueru has probably made dinner by now."
Li Aiguo said it was neither salty nor bland. I said hello to the two stewards.
Jia Dongxu squatted not far away and played in the mud with a stick. When he saw this scene, he almost burst into tears.
He turned around and ran into the house, looked at Mrs. Jia Zhang and said, "Mom, the first uncle has fallen in love with Li Aiguo, and he doesn't like me anymore."
"What the hell?" Mrs. Jia Zhang was shocked and widened. Eyes, "They have sex with men?"
"That's not true." Jia Dongxu realized that there was an ambiguity in his words and quickly recounted what had just happened.
When Jia Zhang heard this, her face turned as black as ink, and her triangular eyes squinted: "This damn Li Aiguo is so abominable. Not only did he demolish our house twice, but now he has taken away your master." My old lady will never let him go."
Qin Huairu frowned and said doubtfully: "That shouldn't be the case. Yi Zhonghai and Li Aiguo have a big feud. Why would he take the initiative to say hello to Li Aiguo? Invite him to your house for dinner?"
Jia Dongxu said angrily: "And Liu Haizhong, he wants to fetch water for Li Aiguo! We have such a good relationship, and Liu Haizhong has never fetched water for our family. ”
Qin Huairu’s eyes widened and her mouth could no longer be closed.
Now the first and second uncles in the compound have begun to have relations with Li Aiguo. How did he do it?
Now that Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai have fallen out, they are not welcomed by other residents in the compound.
Compared with the two, one is in the sky and the other is underground.
Qin Huairu regretted it
After Xu Damao returned home, he sat on a chair and smoked a cigarette, squinting his eyes.
Liu Lan is alone in asking children to do their homework. No matter in which era, this job is a life-threatening job.
"Hai Long, why did you get 91 points in this exam again? I remember you got 91 points the last two times."
"Maybe it's because my grades are stable."
Hearing this, Xu Damao stood up and walked over, took the test paper and turned it over, frowning.
“There is not a single question in the entire test paper that is correct. If you are given one point, the paper score is still about the same. It is impossible to get 91 points.”
Liu Lan took a closer look and discovered that " 9” was obviously drawn by a child with a red pen.
"Hai Long, you only scored 1 point. Several times."
"Maybe it's because my grades are stable." Hai Long raised his face and said, "The teacher also praised me. What about me?”
"??"
"The teacher praised me for my room for improvement."
"."
Xu Damao almost laughed out loud: "Good boy, you are quite a talent." "
Liu Lan was furious at this time, pointing at Xu Damao's nose and said, "Is it because Hai Long is not your biological son, so you don't care about his studies?"
Xu Damao! : "."
Last time he beat Hai Long because he made trouble, but Liu Lan felt that because he was not his biological father, he was reluctant to do it.
Being a stepfather is so difficult.
In the past, Xu Damao would have had a good fight with Liu Lan.
It's just that he has something on his mind today and can't care about it.
Xu Damao asked Hai Tao to take Hai Long out to play, pulled Liu Lan and asked her to sit on a chair, and then told her what he saw today.
“I can’t understand more and more why in this compound, the third uncle, who is so stingy, would actually give flowers to Li Aiguo. The first and second uncles are Li Aiguo’s old enemies, and now they take the initiative to show their kindness. "
"You are stupid, these things have nothing to do with you, you just need to learn from Li Aiguo.
By the way, you promise Hailong and Haitao both. Banana, when will you bring it back?”
“Hey, I almost forgot if you didn’t tell me. I’ll go now.”
It’s already dark.
Xu Damao took out a handful of money and rolled it into an old newspaper. He sneakily came to a big tree at the end of the alley and stuffed the old newspaper into the hole of the tree.
Then I trotted all the way and came to the big tree at the entrance of the alley. I reached in and touched it and took out two bananas.
"Patriot is really careful, worried that I will betray him. Am I that kind of person?"
Xu Damao put the banana in his arms, stood up and said with a smile: "You Don’t tell me, if it hadn’t been like this, I would have really wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail him!”
Zhang Dakui, who was hiding in the dark, curled his lips when he heard Xu Damao's muttering.
Brother Patriot has long expected that you are the kind of duplicitous person, so he took double insurance.
The first step is not to deal directly with Xu Damao.
Even if Xu Damao is caught, there is no way to implicate Li Aiguo.
The second level was when Zhang Dakui touched the dirt on his waist.
This thing was brought from the countryside. The bullets and gunpowder are homemade and there is absolutely no way to detect it.
After Xu Damao's figure left, Zhang Dakui waited for a long time, then walked out of the darkness, took out the newspaper from the tree hole and stuffed it into his pocket.
Go home and open the newspaper.
Zhang Dakui counted the money and clicked his tongue twice: "No wonder Brother Patriot likes to do business with this guy Xu Damao, the profit is double.
This Xu Damao is just a small businessman. I really didn’t expect that the projectionist would be so rich.”
The next morning.
Li Aiguo woke up early in the morning, and Chen Xueru poured hot water and brought it over to wash his face.
"Brother Patriot, aren't you going to drive today? Why don't you sleep a little longer."
"Duan Li is going to hold a seminar in the morning."
Chen Xueru learned that Li Aiguo had work to do, so he turned around and went into the kitchen to get busy.
A plate of meat buns and a bowl of polenta were brought out in a moment.
The juice of the meat filling of the steamed buns soaks into the dough, which is tender and white with golden color, soft and elastic.
The skin is thin, the filling is big, and the meat is rich in flavor.
Li Aiguo took a bite, and the oily meat filling instantly filled his mouth with aroma!
The corn is delicious, and the plump corn is tender and refreshing.
After one bowl, your whole body feels warm.
After eating and drinking, Li Aiguo put on his coat and oil-filled hat and rode his bicycle along the street toward the locomotive depot.
The cold wind howled, Li Aiguo looked up at the dark clouds on the horizon, and whispered: "I guess there will be a heavy snow."
In the locomotive depot at this time.
Zhu Deqing was holding the arm of the director of the maintenance workshop and walking towards the conference room.
"Director, don't worry, this time I won a commendation from Duan Li, and I will definitely not forget your contribution."
Since Zhu Deqing created the [reminder device], he has become very proud. .
Today, I was wearing a woolen tunic suit, my hair was parted in the middle with pomade, and I also had cream on my face. The smoke made Director Zhang almost spit out his breakfast.
Director Zhang couldn't help but feel uncomfortable and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhu, what exactly is your [reminder device]? Can you tell me first."
Hearing this, Zhu Deqing , let go of his arm, tightly covered the canvas bag and said: "Director, it's not that I'm stingy, but I have to be on guard against others. What if you take away my invention?"
"." Director Zhang almost fainted without taking a breath.
Driver Li has worked with him so many times, and he has never worried about his designs being plagiarized, even by an apprentice.
If it weren’t for the fact that Zhu Deqing was a worker in the maintenance workshop, Director Zhang would really be too lazy to care about such nonsense.
"Zhu Deqing, I am a few years older than you, and I am still your leader. I just want to keep you in check so as not to get into trouble."
Director Zhang means well.
But in Zhu Deqing's view, the more he explained, the more he showed a guilty conscience.
Zhu Deqing is a smart man, and he fully understands the principle that a man is not guilty but harbors a jade. He is now an apprentice, and if he comes up with such an explosive invention, he will definitely be coveted by bad guys.
"Director Zhang, you, how can you hide the little Jiujiu in your heart from me."
"But I will soon get the attention of Duan, and become the next Li Dache won’t care about you at this time.”
Zhu Deqing turned around and ran quickly towards the conference room.
Looking at his back, Director Zhang pinched his eyebrows: Is this kid’s head broken? Why do you think everyone looks like a bad guy?
But he is so confident, could he really have invented a more powerful invention than Li Dache?
With doubts, Director Zhang followed Zhu Deqing closely.
The technical seminar in the locomotive depot is a feature of this year.
Because the train technology is not perfect.
Many technologies were invented by master workers in practice.
So in this paragraph, I want to verify these technologies.
A technical seminar was specially held with the participation of technical masters, train drivers and section leaders.
This can be regarded as the implementation of the principle of coming from labor and going to labor.
In recent years, many practical technologies have indeed been discovered through technical seminars.
Of course, most of them are whimsical inventions.
For example, at the last technical seminar, everyone studied the train rear view mirror in depth. This was invented by the stoker of the 2134th train.
The final result was to advise the stoker to continue shoveling coal.
Another example is the wind mill wheel installed on the locomotive.
The inventor is a flight attendant of the 312 package crew.
This device is amazing, a complete piece of black technology.
With the wind power grinding wheel installed, as long as the train runs on the rails, the fan blades can rotate to drive the grinding wheel, thus generating electric current.
The furnace is then heated by electric current to generate steam to drive the steam engine, which in turn drives the train.
The train moves forward to generate wind power, wind power generates electricity, and electric heating water drives the train, which is a perfect perpetual motion machine.
It’s just that the train drivers are all high-level intellectuals.
After just a moment, I suggested that he continue selling instant noodles on the train.
So, every technical seminar is almost like watching the excitement.
Both the drivers and leaders are very positive.
When Li Aiguo braved the cold wind and pushed open the door of the conference room, the large conference room was already full of people.
Li Aiguo immediately saw Zhu Deqing sitting in the front row, who was saying something loudly.
Seeing Li Aiguo walk in, Zhu Deqing came over and said with a smile: "Li Dache, I heard that you are in charge of the review today. I hope you can make it fair and open later. Don't threaten your status because of me. , You gave me a low score on purpose."
"Who are you?" Li Aiguo looked at Zhu Deqing with a confused expression.
“.”
Zhu Deqing’s face turned red and white.
Director Zhang almost laughed while sitting next to him.
This Zhu Deqing's behavior may seem reckless, even a little brainless, but he is actually very shrewd.
He stopped Li Aiguo to tell everyone in advance that he could threaten Li Aiguo's status.
From now on, no matter how Li Aiguo is rated later, he will be criticized by the workers.
Unexpectedly, someone who is a train driver does not need to know a young apprentice.
Li Aiguo's plan failed with just one word, and he even slapped him in the face.
"I am." Zhu Deqing had never been so insulted in his life. His face turned red and he wanted to introduce his identity.
At this time, Duan Chang Xing saw Li Aiguo and waved to him: "Ai Guo, sit here."
"Okay, Duan Chang."
See Li Aiguo walked to Duan Chang Xing and sat on the main seat. Zhu Deqing almost fainted from anger.
Isn't it just that I have come up with a few small inventions? What's so great about it?
As long as he takes out his [Reminder Device] later, he will shock the whole audience and return the Dragon King to his throne.
With confidence, Zhu Deqing sat down slowly,
Waiting patiently for his own glorious moment.
Not long after, the technical master, the train driver, Director She from the Education Office, Deputy Director Huang and Vice Chairman Zhang from the labor union all came.
Seeing that everyone was almost here, Duan Chang Xing patted the table, and after the venue quieted down, he said loudly: "Today's technical seminar will discuss the [reminder device] of Zhu Deqing, an apprentice in the maintenance workshop. 】.
It is said to prevent train drivers from dozing off. It is a good thing.”
His eyes found Zhu Deqing: “Zhu Deqing, come on stage and give me your [reminder device]. Let’s introduce it, everyone.
Come on, give this apprentice a little encouragement.”
Amidst the applause, Zhu Deqing stood up slowly, his eyes firm, and he walked with perseverance. With quick steps, he walked onto the stage.
Looking at the people in the audience, Zhu Deqing felt an irrepressible sense of pride.
He worked hard at the diamond ring preparation workshop for several years, endured the humiliation, endured humiliation, danced after hearing the chicken, and fought against the odds. Finally, he succeeded!
He is about to reach the pinnacle of his life!
He wants the Dragon King to return to his throne.
He wants everyone to know the name "Zhu Deqing".
Seeing Zhu Deqing standing there silently and clenching his teeth, Duan Chang Xing frowned slightly.
Is this person a fool?
"Ahem, Zhu Deqing, everyone is very busy at work, so don't be nagging."
"Ah, okay, I'll show you what greatness is now. Invention!”
Under the gaze of dozens of eyes, Zhu Deqing opened the canvas bag.
He took out a round shape with two small mallets on it, as well as an alarm clock with hour and minute hands!
The venue suddenly became quiet. Although alarm clocks are rare, they cannot be regarded as inventions.
Zhu Deqing took the alarm clock into his hand without explaining.
He is waiting to be questioned.
Sure enough.
Director She of the Education Office frowned: "Zhu Deqing, this seems to be an alarm clock, right?"
Is it finally here? Look at me being slapped in the face!
Zhu Deqing Dragon King raised the corner of his lips, held up the alarm clock and said: "This looks like an alarm clock, but it is actually not a simple alarm clock." Oh no, let’s go down now, there are still several inventions waiting for review!”
“Ah” Zhu Deqing was half-pretending and was interrupted from casting, looking particularly depressed.
But I don’t dare to be nagging at this time.
He pointed at the alarm clock and quickly introduced: "This alarm clock is specially designed and will ring every thirty minutes. As long as it is placed in the train driver's building, I guarantee that the train drivers will not be able to sleep.
As long as the alarm clock rings, the train drivers have to cheer me up and drive well!”
The alarm clock that rings every thirty minutes only needs to modify the inside of the alarm clock. No wonder this is the case. The guy stole the idea and was able to develop it so quickly.
The train drivers and technicians in the audience looked at the alarm clock thoughtfully, and they all remained silent.
Xing Duanchang looked at the alarm clock and felt that it had something to do with an article, but he couldn't tell.
He looked at Li Aiguo and asked: "Driver Li, what do you think of Zhu Deqing's reminder alarm clock?"
"I only analyze it from a technical aspect.
Reminder alarm clock three Ten minutes is too long, and accidents often happen in an instant.
Also, if the driver does fall asleep, the alarm clock alone cannot wake him up."
Li Aiguo analyzed the matter matter-of-factly.
Okay, if you dare to stop me, the Dragon King, from returning to my throne, just wait and bear the wrath. Zhu Deqing was anxious: "I can improve it, improve it to ten minutes. Then install a needle on the alarm clock.
It’s the kind of sewing needle that train drivers get pricked with when they turn off their alarms to cheer themselves up.”
“That’s enough!”
< br>As soon as he finished speaking, Deputy Director Huang of the Education Office, who had always had a dark face, slammed the table and stood up.
He pointed at Zhu Deqing's nose and said righteously: "Using alarm clocks to force workers to work, isn't this the behavior of Zhou Papi in "The Chicken Crows at Midnight"!
We workers are now After turning over, he still had to be bullied. I think Zhu Deqing has bad intentions, he is Zhu Papi!"
"The Chicken Crows in the Midnight" was published two years ago. It aroused enthusiastic response once it was published, and later became a A must-read book for locomotive depot employees.
When the workers in the audience heard what Deputy Director Huang said, their hearts skipped a beat.
This is about to go online!
Only then did Duan Chang Xing remember why he always thought this thing looked familiar just now. It turned out to be something from an article.
Zhu Deqing has also read "The Rooster Crows in the Midnight" and understands the seriousness of the problem.
At this moment, he was also panicked and quickly explained: "I am an alarm clock, not Zhou Bapi imitating the crow of a chicken."
But his explanation seemed very weak at this time.
Deputy Director Zhang of the trade union also stood up, pointed at Zhu Deqing and said loudly: "
Before liberation, the enemy turned the workers into ghosts. After liberation, we workers finally stood up.
< br>Zhu Deqing, you invented the alarm clock to continue to oppress the workers and to be an enemy of the workers.
You want to destroy the good situation we have finally built.
I hope now. You can recover from your mistakes and realize your own mistakes.
Otherwise, no one can save you! ”
Two cannons opened fire.
The workers below also stood up and denounced Zhu Deqing's actions.
Zhu Deqing became Zhu Bapi.
In the corner, this is not the first time Huang Jing has experienced this kind of scene.
But her face could not help but turn pale, and her heart was filled with joy.
If Driver Li had directly pushed out the [Death Pedal], he would have ended up like this.
But she was more worried about how Driver Li could convince these people to install death pedals on the train under this situation.
There was a loud denunciation in the conference room.
Zhu Deqing, who was waiting for the return of the Dragon King, suddenly discovered that he had turned into a bad element.
He wanted to explain, but faced with the serious faces, he was unable to explain at all.
Zhu Deqing looked at Li Aiguo sitting there leisurely, rolled his eyes, and suddenly pointed at Li Aiguo and said: "Misunderstanding, the reminder alarm clock was actually Li Aiguo's idea. He is Li Bapi, and it has nothing to do with me! He is the bad element."< br>
