Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

After leaving the steel mill, Yi Zhonghai originally planned to go directly to the street office, but he changed his mind halfway. He thought that going directly to the street office might not be helpful, after all, the street office did not have the power to arrest, and Li Weidong's wife Yu Li worked there. He was afraid that Yu Li would protect Li Weidong, and he was determined to bring Li Weidong down.

After weighing the pros and cons, Yi Zhonghai thought he should go to the police station. As long as Li Weidong's crime could be proven, he would have to go to jail. So Yi Zhonghai immediately turned to the police station with a brisk pace.

After arriving at the police station, Yi Zhonghai saw He Yushui's fiancé Wang Ruxin at a glance. He hesitated for a moment, worried that Wang Ruxin would intervene. But he realized that this was a police station, not a place where anyone could cover up everything.

The residents who were talking heard the voice, turned around, saw Li Weidong returning, and quickly stopped talking. They also pulled their companions' sleeves, signaling them not to talk about it anymore.

The originally noisy backyard suddenly became silent.

Yi Zhonghai was happily discussing this matter with Aunt Yi and was surprised to see everyone suddenly become quiet.

Normally, Wang Ruxin and Xiao Zhou's secret inquiry should not have caused such a reaction. However, Yi Zhonghai was too stubborn. When he saw the people from the power supply bureau coming to visit, he deliberately made a loud noise, and soon attracted the attention of the residents in the courtyard.

Faced with such a situation, Wang Ruxin and Xiao Zhou seemed a little overwhelmed, after all, they could not forcibly drive the residents away. They could only pretend that nothing had happened and accompany the power supply bureau staff to check the electricity meter.

Li Weidong entered the main area and saw someone removing his electric meter. He basically understood what was happening. At the same time, Yi Zhonghai's voice sounded at the right time:

“Li Weidong, other people may believe your explanation of installing solar energy, but I don’t buy it. People from the power supply bureau and the police station are here today. If you have the guts, make up a bunch of stories in front of them!”

Li Weidong looked at Yi Zhonghai with a sharp gaze and said calmly: "No wonder someone suddenly came to check the meter. Yi Zhonghai, you insisted on reporting me for **, don't you know how serious the crime of false accusation is?"

Yi Zhonghai sneered and said, "Why would I frame you? I, Yi Zhonghai, am an honest person and have never done such a vile thing. Last night I personally went to your house to check and found that your electric meter was indeed intact. Do you still want to deny it now? I advise you to confess quickly. The police have made it very clear that those who confess will be treated leniently and those who resist will be treated severely!"

"Oh? What if I didn't steal **?"

"No way, absolutely impossible!"

"Don't talk about irrelevant things. I'm just asking you, what would you do if I didn't steal **?"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Li Weidong with doubts. Did he really not steal the **? But he quickly dispelled this doubt, thinking that Li Weidong was just bluffing.

"If you don't have a **, I will bark like a dog three times in a row!"

Li Weidong's eyes flashed: "Oh? You said that yourself!"

Train drivers spend their days listening to the roar of steel wheels hitting rails.

Such a life is dull and boring.

But every time he sees passengers arrive at their destination with satisfied expressions, Li Aiguo feels that all the hard work is worth it.

The train slowly arrived in Tianjin.

Master Zheng is suffering from severe abdominal pain at the moment.

As usual, Li Aiguo came to the famous pigeon market in Tianjin, ready to purchase another 20 kilograms of rice from the little black fat man.

However, the familiar figure did not appear.

I didn’t find satisfactory products at other stalls. For example, the common cornmeal and corn kernels were more expensive here than at the pigeon market in Beijing.

Despite this, Li Aiguo only bought two kilograms of fragrant white apricots.

This kind of apricot flesh is yellow and white, and its red glow is like the morning glow. It is one of the specialties of Tianjin.

I plan to bring it back for Aunt Liu and He Yushui to try.

When I came back with the canvas bag, crowds of people had already begun to appear on the train platform. The queues were orderly, and the train attendants and police officers helped maintain order. Those passengers who did not follow the rules were forced to stand at the end of the queue.

This is an innovative measure taken by Captain Bai based on Li Aiguo's suggestion to address previous problems in order to eliminate the previous chaotic situation of people rushing to buy tickets.

Before, people rushed to the door and it was easy to cause accidents.

Some people even risked climbing through the windows to get in, causing a lot of trouble for the train attendants who were checking tickets.

Seeing that there were not many people queuing at the door of the carriage where Zhang Yazhi was, Li Aiguo was about to go over when he suddenly heard a commotion.

"Comrade, I, I..."

A short, dark and strong man with close-cropped hair was stopped by two police officers for routine inspection, followed by a slightly taller, fair-skinned young man.

Faced with those heavy bags of rice, the two men were anxious and at a loss for words, with sweat oozing from their foreheads.

Li Aiguo approached and couldn't help but smile: Isn't this the little black fat guy in the pigeon market?

Did he feel that he didn't make enough money as a pigeon dealer in Tianjin and wanted to come to Beijing to start his own business?

Smuggling goods is a thing.

Many people take advantage of the situation on trains to make extra money.

However, you have to be lucky.

If you can get to Beijing smoothly, you will make a fortune.

If you are unlucky, your goods will be confiscated by the materials department, and you may be sent to the railway police station for detention.

Apparently, this little black fat guy wasn't so lucky.

Police officer Zhang looked at the fat black man, frowned and pointed at the bag of rice in his arms, "You want to sell these in Beijing?"

"No, really not, I eat it by myself!" The little black fat man suddenly had an idea.

"You wrote in the letter of introduction that you were going to visit and study. Are you going to live in the capital for a long time?" he asked again.

With Police Officer Zhang's experience as a police officer, he has dealt with more than thirty smugglers, so it is impossible for him to be easily defeated by the fat black man in front of him.

The little black fat man quickly changed his words: "I'm just giving it to someone."

“Who to send, where to live, what job to do!”

The train police chased closely and further confirmed the situation.

The fat black boy opened his mouth, speechless, and secretly cursed Pengzi in his heart for being a mean man who was greedy for money.

This guy only sees the gold coins.

He said that the price of rice in the pigeon market in the capital was high, and instead of selling it to others, it would be better to bring it to the capital himself and earn a little more money.

Now, not only Dao Mi, but also he himself would be taken to the police station.

He turned around and glared at Pengzi, while Pengzi lowered his head, feeling full of grievances.

It's all thanks to this bald boy. He was too conspicuous and it was difficult for the flight attendant to ignore him.

I clearly advised him, but he refused to listen and even blamed him.

"Okay, stop quibbling and hand over the rice bag! Come with me to the police station at the station!"

When Police Officer Zhang saw that the fat black boy was unable to explain, he reached out to grab the cloth bag.

"Wait!" a voice interrupted, and Li Aiguo squeezed over with great effort to stand in front of the fat black boy.

Looking at the fat black boy, Li Aiguo showed a surprised look: "Nephew, why are you here?"

Calling someone nephew really takes advantage of the situation.

But now, even if Li Aiguo wanted to scold him, the fat black boy would nod without hesitation.

"Uncle, I came here specially to visit you." He strode forward and shook Li Aiguo's hand tightly with great enthusiasm.

Countless thoughts turned in his mind in an instant, and the fat black boy's articulation became fluent.

"When we met in Tianjin, you told me that working on the train would give me good food, so I thought I would give you some gifts to show my respect."

"Oh, I really appreciate your filial piety." Li Aiguo pretended to be touched, patted him on the back, and whispered:

"My surname is Li, my given name is Aiguo, I live in a courtyard house, I am the assistant driver of Train 131, and I am the only one at home."

Although the fat black boy was confused, he nodded silently.

After the two separated, Li Aiguo explained to Officer Zhang: "This is my distant nephew, a little silly but very filial. Today is just a small misunderstanding."

After all, Li Aiguo had saved the lives of a group of people in a car not long ago, and Officer Zhang was full of admiration for him.

Although the age gap is obvious, it doesn’t matter if they are of different generations.

Not long ago, he had a new great-grandmother. When he held a birthday party at home, Officer Zhang kowtowed to her respectfully.

I was about to wave my hand to let the fat black boy in, but I heard another deep voice:

"Wait!"

The sailor, Lao Jia, led the white stationmaster out of the front carriage. With a cold gleam in his eyes, he pointed at the fat black boy and said to the stationmaster: "I think it was that black boy who was trafficking. He is not a friend of the patriotic comrades at all."

He witnessed the whole process in the car just now. The panic of the fat black boy when he was caught was a reaction that was difficult to disguise.

It is obvious that this person is a profiteer.

Although I'm not sure whether Li Aiguo is willing to help the little black fat man intervene, but since the matter has involved me, I will take this opportunity to defeat you without mercy!

Team leader Bai frowned and said, "Comrade Lao Liu, you must be responsible for your words. We are a closely united group and we must not doubt our companions at will."

"I assure you that if my speculation is wrong, I am willing to donate this month's salary to the railway construction fund as compensation."

Faced with the deliveryman Lao Bie's firm attitude and the many passengers gathered around to watch the fun, Team Leader Bai could only nod in agreement.

The deliveryman, Lao Bie, sneered and walked towards the fat black man with square steps. He tilted his head and looked at him with squinting eyes: "Hey, what is your relationship with Comrade Zhang Aiguo?"

"Who is Zhang Aiguo? I have an uncle named Li Aiguo." The little black fat man answered with his eyes wide open.

The deliveryman, Lao Bie, frowned slightly, as if thinking: "Then where does Li Aiguo live, who are his family members, and you as a relative, you should know, right?"

"Why should I tell you? Are you interrogating a prisoner?" the little black fat man asked angrily.

The deliveryman was secretly delighted: "Since you can't say it, it means you are not a real relative of Li Aiguo."

The little black fat man laughed twice: "You blocked my way, so you are targeting my uncle?"

At this moment, not only did the passengers come forward curiously, but even some train attendants who closed the windows began to join in the fun and watch.

The fat black man pointed at the delivery man and raised his voice and said, "Look everyone, this guy is an outsourced crew member, and so is my uncle. Logically, we should be comrades."

"But this guy who looks like a turtle wants to use me to bully my uncle. This is such a bad character!"

The little black fat guy was a crosstalk performer, and he could analyze people's thoughts clearly just by opening his mouth.

At that time, people advocated the spirit of collectivism. Every comrade in the team was like a brother or sister, who could trust each other and overcome difficulties together.

The behavior of the betrayer was considered shameful and was despised by everyone. At this moment, the people around him had a clear hostility towards Lao Bie.

Even Team Leader Bai was confused. The deliveryman had secretly complained to Li Aiguo in the past. Was he really just trying to deal with Li Aiguo?

I have to admit that the little black fat guy is indeed quite capable.

Li Aiguo secretly praised in his heart that it was right to help.

What was the most valuable thing in the 1950s? Talent! To accomplish great things, you need the support of outstanding talents.

The deliveryman Lao Bie now realized that he was too impulsive. He only played the role of questioner out of helplessness. In fact, he had no right to interrogate the passenger. However, the arrow had been drawn and had to be shot.

The delivery man said, "Stop talking nonsense and answer my question right away."

After creating the right atmosphere in the carriage, the thin young man folded his arms and said slowly, "My uncle is Li Aiguo. He lives alone in a courtyard. There is no one else at home. What do you think?"

"How do you know all this?" The old turtle, the water delivery man, suddenly felt darkness before his eyes and almost fainted.
