Seven days later, Li Aiguo took a train to Zaporizhia Oblast.
On the way, looking at the densely packed mines outside the car window, Duan Chang Xing couldn’t help but marvel.
“This is such a good place.”
Li Aiguo has already begun to make plans.
Zaporizhia is rich in natural resources such as lignite, iron, and manganese, and is an area rich in manganese reserves in the world.
If we can resell the minerals here back home in the future, we can not only make money, but also help domestic industrial construction.
As soon as the thought occurred, Li Aiguo couldn't help but laugh.
I feel like a pauper, thinking about taking things back wherever I go.
Ahem, the time is far away now, and we cannot turn on the automatic pickup mode yet.
Get off the train.
There were seven or eight jeeps waiting at the station. The convoy drove all the way to the thermal power station located 20 kilometers away from Zaporizhia.
“This is the last vegetable base we have built so far, and it is also the largest.”
Andre pointed at the huge vegetable base and said: “All the vegetable bases here are made of I learned about your hydroponic planting method and hope you can give me some advice.”
“Let’s go and take a look.” Li Aiguo is also interested in large hydroponic bases.
Andrei is a very capable person, and the technical staff of the vegetable base turned out to be a professor and a dozen researchers from Zaporizhia State University.
Li Aiguo worked with the technicians to install the equipment needed for hydroponics, and formulated technical indicators such as lighting time, temperature and humidity.
Andre has been accompanying him all the time, and Duan Chang Xing has become a free man at this time, wandering around the base, looking at the tall buildings, and feeling very shocked in his heart.
After more than ten days of busy work, the hydroponic vegetable base was ready. In order to celebrate the "opening" of the base, Andre specially held a dinner.
At the dinner, Li Aiguo met several big shots in Zaporozhye Oblast.
Li Aiguo knew that now was not the time. If he rashly made friends with these people, he would not be qualified, and secondly, it would easily arouse Andre's vigilance.
So Li Aiguo just shook hands with those people, drank some special drinks, and enjoyed the unique ethnic dance.
Of course, the dancing girl wears clothes, otherwise how can we tell which ethnic group she is from.
Andre had been staring at Li Aiguo. Seeing that he seemed to be addicted to singing and dancing, he seemed particularly happy. He came over and asked: "What, do you like it? I will send it to your room in the evening."
"Dear Comrade Andre, what do you think?" Li Aiguo asked.
Andre looked at Li Aiguo, suddenly showed a look of shame, and slapped his forehead: "Oh, I'm so confused, you are the kind of organization member with extremely high ideological consciousness! Driver Li , please forgive me for my recklessness."
Li Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief.
If two girls really sneaked into the room at night, he would probably have to write dozens of reports after he went back.
The next day, the vegetable base officially started operating without any glitches.
Li Aiguo stayed at the base for another five days, adjusting the equipment with the professor.
When the professor learned that Li Aiguo was only in his twenties, he was very interested in him.
“Comrade Patriot, are you interested in studying at our Zaporozhye State University? I can help you apply.” Do you have any friends in the Ivchenko-Progress Design Bureau?”
“My wife is a designer at the Design Bureau. Why, are you interested in Ivchenko-Progress Design Bureau?”
Li Aiguo Interested.
Ivchenko-Progressive Design Bureau was later called Motorsich Company.
Their business scope covers helicopters, fighter jets, bombers, large transport aircraft and other almost all aircraft, and is considered to represent the highest level of Laomaozi engines.
Classic aircraft such as the IL-18, IL-38 transport aircraft, An-12, An-32, and An-24 are all masterpieces of Motor Sich Company.
In the future, we plan to buy Motor Sich Company back home. We originally acquired 75% of the company's shares, but the agreement was deliberately broken.
Modasic Company became a victim and pawn in the geopolitical struggle, and was also beaten by Lao Maozi in the conflict.
Li Aiguo said with a smile: "I am very interested in mechanical design. If possible, I would like to communicate with your wife. Don't worry, this is only limited to academic exchanges."
"Dear patriotic comrade, you are overthinking. This is Zaporozhye Oblast, not Moscow.
You are a friend of Mr. Andrei, a friend of Zaporozhye Oblast. There is no need to be so cautious."
One evening, Li Aiguo visited the professor's wife, Professor Anna Besonova, the first-class designer of the Ivchenko-Progressive Design Bureau, with gifts.
Li Aiguo knew that he had no domineering spirit, and this visit was just a familiarity.
The exchange between the two mainly focused on academic exchanges and did not involve the issue of aircraft design.
Professor Anna Besonova once received a Chinese expert group on behalf of the Ivchenko-Progressive Design Bureau and had a very good impression of the flower growers.
In addition, as a train driver, Li Aiguo is very smooth-talking and very generous.
The gifts they brought were all high-end goods that could only be purchased from foreign trade stores, so the two quickly started chatting.
In the following period, Professor Anna Besonova often invited Li Aiguo to visit her home, and the relationship between the two became better and better.
Professor Anna Besonova even gave her a set of exquisite embroidery after learning that Li Aiguo’s daughter-in-law used to be a tailor.
Professor Anna Besonova has three children. Her eldest and second sons are already working, and her youngest daughter Dasha has just graduated from college.
“Dasha, this girl has a different temperament from our whole family.
Her ambition is to be a diplomat, and she wants to continue studying abroad after graduating from college.
It’s just that She doesn’t like countries in Eastern Europe.
I don’t think they are any different from us. The places in Beihou and Nanbangzi are too chaotic.
I wonder if you are recruiting international students there now? ”
On a weekend afternoon, Professor Anna Besonova expressed her thoughts with some embarrassment.
“I’m not sure about this at the moment. I need to contact the country.”
Li Aiguo has met Dasha, who is a cheerful Eastern European girl.
She is very kind-hearted and a little naive. She has a good talent for languages. She taught herself Chinese and especially likes "A Dream of Red Mansions".
After returning to his residence, in order to avoid being monitored, Li Aiguo contacted Liu Guozhang through Andre's dedicated phone number.
Although Liu Guozhang didn't know why Li Aiguo was so concerned about this matter, he still actively inquired about foreign students from relevant units.
What Li Aiguo didn’t expect was that the country was actually recruiting international students these days.
In the 1950s, a specialized Chinese language class for Eastern European exchange students was established in Qinghua, and the then dean and famous physicist Zhou Peiyuan was appointed as the class teacher.
[Mr.] put forward the work guidelines for the management of international students: "Strict requirements in study, serious help; Positive influence in politics, not imposing on others; Appropriate care in life, serious management".
Later, the "Chinese Language Specialized Class for Eastern European Exchange Students" was transferred to Beijing University, and the students were mainly from Laomaozi, Eastern Europe, Bangzi and other countries.
The review of the status of international students is particularly strict these days.
Fortunately, Liu Guozhang came forward to help, and Dasha did meet the conditions, so soon an invitation letter was sent from China through Zaporizhia State University.
After receiving the invitation letter, Professor Anna Besonova, her wife and Dasha both expressed their gratitude to Li Aiguo.
“Dear patriotic comrade, Dasha can achieve her wish, thanks to you.
But we have one more thing to ask for. She has never been abroad before. Can she go to the capital with you? ”
At this time, Li Aiguo’s work with Lao Maozi was almost completed, and he agreed immediately.
Dasha rushed over excitedly and came to Li Aiguo A warm hug.
Ahem, Ukrainian girls are really mature.
We, Li Aiguo, have not yet reached the point where we are still pregnant. He let go of Dasha and spoke slowly. Said: "The folk customs in our country are relatively conservative. When you get there, you must not hug gay men casually, otherwise you will scare others. "
Dasha nodded vigorously.
It was the end of December when I came, and it was March when I went back. In more than three months, Li Aiguo had a lot of Russian books. , two large boxes of gifts, and a pure gold pistol, which were gifts from Andre.
According to regulations, Li Aiguo must send these gifts to the relevant departments for filing after returning.
< br>In addition, there is a little girl Dasha beside him.
“No wonder the old man is so tall. Even the little girl is 1.8 meters tall. It turns out that he eats it every day. Beef. "Duanchang Xing also received a lot of gifts. Thinking of what he has experienced these days, it is hard to describe.
Although the beef is good, it's really hard to eat without the vegetarian dishes.
"Yes, Big Brother is indeed too strong. If we want to catch up, we still need to work hard." Li Aiguo nodded heavily.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, guys//…… The train left the Moscow train station and Li Aiguo embarked on his journey back home.
On the way back, Li Aiguo explained the customs and customs of the capital to Dasha while continuing to write.
This trip to Lao Maozi made him clearly realize the difference between China and Big Brother.
To catch up, we can only find ways to improve the domestic industrial level.
Old Mao led a team of five people to return to the capital.
After cleaning the film, the old cat handed the list to the farmer, and the farmer instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.
Obviously, the chess pieces on the list are all people arranged by Cheka on our side.
Once the relationship between the two families deteriorates, the chess pieces on the list will come into play.
"Thanks to Patriotism this time, we were able to get the list without alerting each other." The farmer said sincerely.
The old cat nodded in agreement.
The Cheka is well-known internationally. It is indeed something to be proud of to get the list back under the nose of the Cheka.
The farmer continued: "The day before yesterday, I got news from the comrade in charge of the Overseas Clear News that the driver had roped in a designer in Ukraine and abducted the designer's daughter to live with us as an international student.
If this line is connected, we may get some clear reports from the Ivchenko-Progress Design Bureau in the future."
The old cat stared wide-eyed: "This kid has really gone anywhere. You can all make meritorious deeds."
The farmer looked at him and said, "I know you are asking for credit for the driver, don't worry, I have decided to give him a big credit."
Been Old Mao, who had seen through the "conspiracy", smiled awkwardly, changed the topic forcibly, looked at the list and said, "What should we do with the people on this list?"
There are more than thirty names on the list, distributed in all walks of life. In this way, if something goes wrong, you are likely to be in big trouble. The farmer tapped his fingers on the list and said slowly: "If we don't deal with it for now, I will send someone to monitor them. As long as they don't move, you can ignore them."
When the old cat heard this, he was startled for a moment, and then he understood what the farmer was thinking.
The chess pieces under control can be removed at any time!
Once these people are moved, Cheka will realize that these people have been exposed, and they will try to place more chess pieces.
Old Cat did not ask what to do with code 005. It was obvious that the farmer would hand over the password to the black room for cracking.
It was already the end of February when Lao Mao finished handling matters in the capital. Seeing that Li Aiguo had not come back yet, he could only return to the Gobi Desert with Yanzi and Lao Hei.
On March 14, 1958, the Lantern Festival, Li Aiguo finally set foot on the capital again.
Stepping on the familiar land, breathing the familiar air, and thinking of the familiar language in his ears, Li Aiguo's heart that was hanging in the air finally fell to the ground.
Those who have never traveled far away from home cannot understand the feeling of worrying about home while outside.
“Dear patriotic brother, this is the capital, it’s so beautiful.” Dasha’s big black eyes looked around, her little face full of novelty.
This girl was curious about everything. One moment she ran to the newsstand, and the next moment she curiously looked at the large slogan.
Dasha's blond appearance quickly attracted the attention of the passengers on the platform. Several gay men wearing red sleeve bands stared at her closely.
"Patriot, you'd better send this girl to Beijing University as soon as possible." Duan Chang Xing got out of the car carrying the heavy box.
"After I get back, I will take her to report at Beijing University. Chief Duan, let's go back to the locomotive depot first."
The first thing to do after returning to Beijing is to report to the locomotive depot. It's Li Aiguo's old habit.
Because I have to take Dasha with me, there is no way to board the train.
Li Aiguo and Duan Zhang Xing had to wait for half an hour before they waited for a locomotive heading to the locomotive depot for maintenance.
The train driver saw Li Aiguo bringing a foreign girl with him. Although he felt strange, he did not dare to ask because Duan Chang Xing was nearby.
Go back to the locomotive depot and complete a set of procedures.
Li Aiguo handed over the gifts sent by Andre, as well as the gifts purchased in Moscow, to the relevant departments for review.
A fur coat, caviar, a hat, and a bragi. Although these gifts were expensive, they were in line with the rules and were quickly returned to Li Aiguo.
Only the golden gun made it difficult for the inspecting comrades.
They have never seen this thing before.
"Is it real gold?" A young man couldn't help but put the muzzle of the gun to his mouth and wanted to take a bite.
"What are you doing! Even if you bite this thing off, it won't be enough to sell you." The director stopped him quickly and smiled apologetically at Li Aiguo: "Comrade, please wait a moment."< br>
"It doesn't matter."
The director shook the phone and asked the superior department. The superior leader was confused when he heard that it was a golden gun. Is this a gun or gold?
Okay, go ahead and report it.
The matter of a golden gun was reported step by step, and finally appeared in a document in front of a leader.
"Comrade driver got a golden gun? He is quite capable."
The leader wrote in the approval document: "Gifts are a symbol of friendship and have nothing to do with the gold control policy. Conflict.”
With the approval, Li Aiguo finally got the golden gun back.
Of course, Li Aiguo didn't know that the matter was so big, and even if he knew it, he wouldn't care, because he was busy being a money-spreading boy at this time.
Lao Maozi’s caviar is really worthless. Andre gave him dozens of boxes. Li Aiguo gave one box to Cao Wenzhi, one box to Chief Bai, and another box to Minister Niu of the Armed Forces Department.
Zhou Ke is his brother and got two boxes.
Of course, in order to avoid suspicion, Li Aiguo always put them in lunch boxes and sent them out.
Duanchang Xing watched Li Aiguo tinkering with caviar in the lunch box and said with a smile: "You are becoming more and more mature."
"I learned that from you, Chief Duan." Li Aiguo blinked.
Xing Duanchang looked at the two lunch boxes in front of him and stopped saying anything.
Several major leaders in the section also received lunch boxes.
In the afternoon, Li Aiguo took Dasha to Liu Guozhang's house and gave him two boxes of caviar and a women's fur coat.
When the teacher's wife saw the fur coat, she felt indescribable joy in her eyes. She came from a wealthy family, and when she was young, she often wore gold and silver.
Later, in order to support the activities on the streets, all the gold, silver and silk clothes were sold.
After liberation, in order to respond to the call of her superiors to be diligent and frugal, my wife wore simple clothes on weekdays.
Teacher’s wife was reluctant to put down the fur coat.
"If you like it, keep it. It was brought back from abroad patriotically. It has been registered and there will be no trouble." Liu Guozhang said with a smile.
The wife then accepted the coat.
She liked the blond Dasha very much, and she held Dasha's hand and talked about all kinds of things.
Liu Guozhang saw her true feelings and knew that she thought of her daughter.
Liu Guozhang invited Li Aiguo into the study and said with a smile: "Have you had a hard time on this business trip?"
"It's not hard work. Lao Maozi has specialized engineers and workers there. I Only responsible for helping with planning
I'm just not used to eating. I eat a lot of fish, meat, bread and the like all day long. What is the teacher busy with recently? "
Liu Guozhang took a puff of smoke and said: "On January 1 this year, the Baocheng Railway was opened to traffic. Now the ministry is preparing to transform the railway line into the first electric railway in China. This task falls to the research institute. on the body. ”
Electrified railways refer to railways that can run electric trains.
This type of railway is so named because it requires corresponding electrification equipment along the lines to provide power guarantee for the trains.
It can be seen that the Ministry has begun to research and promote electric locomotives
Liu Guozhang looked at Li Aiguo: "How about it, are you interested in this matter?" "
"Teacher, I have no research on electric locomotives, so I might as well continue to drive my own steam engine. ”
Li Aiguo clearly remembers that the electrification transformation of the entire railway took seventeen years to complete because it was too advanced.
And because it is a single-line electrified railway, its transportation capacity is far Far from it, it has been transformed several times.
“You just like to be a train driver. "Liu Guozhang thinks this is a good opportunity, and now he can only hate that iron cannot become steel.
"Stay here for lunch. I'll let your wife cook what you like."
Li Aiguo stood up and said, "No, I haven't gone home yet. I have to go to Dasha to Beijing University in the afternoon." Report."
Liu Guozhang also knew that Li Aiguo was very busy, so he did not persuade him to stay.
In these days, foreigners are still rare in the capital, not to mention Dasha is a beautiful girl.
Along the way, passers-by cast strange looks.
There is contempt, envy, and jealous eyes.
The bicycle galloped all the way, and Li Aiguo returned to the courtyard.
As soon as he walked outside the yard, he met Xu Damao.
"Hey, Patriot, you are back from a business trip? You have been away for a long time this time."
Xu Damao blinked and wanted to find out the news.
"Yeah, I went to my brother's unit for support. Brother Damao, is my sister-in-law pregnant?"
"It's harmful, don't mention it. I took so many medicines and it's of no use at all."
"Don't worry, take your time. I heard that there are Miao doctors in southern Hunan who are very good at treating this kind of disease. If I have a chance, I will ask a friend to help you find out."
Xu Damao said with a happy face: " Thank you very much! Patriot, you know?"
"What's wrong?"
"Jia Dongxu owed a lot of gambling debts. When he went to the factory to ask for money, he wanted the first master to help him, but the first master ignored him. The creditors made a fuss in the factory, and finally the security department came forward to drive them away. "
Xu Damao said. He looked gloating: "The day before yesterday, Jia Zhang was still scolding Yi Zhonghai in the courtyard. The two families have completely fallen out."
Li Aiguo said: "I can't say for sure about this matter, Yi Zhonghai It’s just a matter of teasing Jia Dongxu. There’s no telling whether they will ever reconcile.”
Xu Damao smiled sinisterly: “With me, Xu Damao, there’s no such possibility.”
When Li Aiguo heard this, he said, good guy, Xu Damao is going to take the opportunity to crush Jia Dongxu to death.
But also, Jia Dongxu used to rely on Yi Zhonghai to bully Xu Damao. When faced with such an opportunity, Xu Damao would definitely not give up.
"Brother Damao, you are really awesome." Li Aiguo gave him a thumbs up.
"Brother Patriot, you are exaggerating. In fact, I have something to tell you." Xu Damao stopped, looked around, and winked at Li Aiguo.
Li Aiguo asked Dasha to wait for a while and walked over.
“I feel like Jia Dongxu stole the waste materials in the factory!” Xu Damao winked.
This is an obvious thing. Now that Jia Dongxu has no support from his uncle, he has to support his family and pay off his gambling debts. It is impossible not to do some evil things.
Li Aiguo pretended to be surprised: "No way, Jia Dongxu wouldn't be so morally corrupt."
"Aiguo, you are good at everything, but you are too trusting. Don't worry, I will expose Jia Dongxu's true face before long." Xu Damao laughed sinisterly again.
At this time, Liu Lan’s voice came from the Intermediate Court: “Xu Damao, I asked you to make soy sauce, where are you.”
“Here we come.” Xu Damao didn’t even bother to say goodbye. , ran away in a flash.
Li Aiguo looked at his back, smiled and shook his head: "This compound will be lively in a few days."
Dasha asked curiously: "Brother Aiguo, why didn't that person just now Say hello to me, does he not like me? "
Li Aiguo then remembered that Xu Damao clearly saw Dasha, but he didn't even ask.
"You misunderstood, he just didn't want to cause trouble. Let's go home."
Although Dasha didn't understand Li Aiguo's intention, she was immediately happy when she thought of meeting Chen Xueru. stand up.
When she was in Zaporizhia Oblast, Li Aiguo often told her about Chen Xueru's arrest of Dieter. She wanted to see what the five-star scar looked like.
