Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

If you think it's feasible, we can plan a simple ceremony and the two families will officially become godparents. What do you think? "

"Well, I personally have no objection."

As long as the ceremony is held, benefits can be gained, not to mention that A Geng has become Yi Zhonghai's grandson, which means that the Jia family will have a strong backing in the future.

Qin Huairu thought about it and decided to agree immediately.

However, she could not be the main decision maker of the Jia family, so she turned to Jia Dongxu for his consent.

Jia Dongxu felt embarrassed. He already had a biological mother, and Banggeng also had a grandmother. It was very strange for him to suddenly recognize a godfather. He thought his late father would not agree to this marriage.

Qin Huairu quickly and gently grabbed Jia Dongxu's arm and whispered, "Dongxu, Master Yi has a high status here and is your master. You have to rely on him in the future. Don't make stupid choices again."

Jia Dongxu was originally a gentle person. When Jia Zhang was still around, he would listen to his mother. Now that his mother's support is gone, he naturally listens to Qin Huairu.

After weighing the pros and cons, he nodded and accepted the proposal.

"Since you all have no problems, let's go to Master Yi's house right away and get this matter done as soon as possible. We have to go to the elders in person to ask for instructions." Yan Bugui urged.

On that day, Qin Huairu came to the Yi family with A Geng in her arms and Jia Dongxu.

They asked A Geng to stand on the kang, Qin Huairu pressed him down personally, and then Jia Dongxu kowtowed three times to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai reluctantly agreed, called A Geng "grandson", and then gave him five dimes and put them in his pocket.

Usually, after this is done, you can have dinner together that night.

However, in order to ensure the stability of this relationship, Yi Zhonghai decided to hold a formal recognition ceremony.

Liu Dahai and Yan Bugui from the hospital were invited, as well as some officials from the steel plant, and even the mute old woman was dragged to the scene.

After everyone had a lively meal, they officially became a family.

After eating and drinking, Yi Zhonghai sat on a chair, slightly closed his eyes and looked at the obedient A Geng and the diligent Jia Dongxu, thinking secretly in his heart. He thought that Jia Zhang might not need to return to Beijing.

For Li Aiguo, knowing the whole story, he was not bothered by it. Human planning only determines the process, but the final result is arranged by God. Human intentions are often contrary to destiny. Yi Zhonghai spent half his life planning, but he never expected that he would fail in the end due to an accident.

After all, this involves the mysteries of heaven and earth and should not be revealed casually.

Li Aiguo returned to the railway locomotive depot and concentrated on his work again.

In train operation management, safety is the most important issue, which comes first in comparison with anything else. Therefore, the Railway Administration regards safety indicators as the core to evaluate the work performance of the locomotive depot and crew.

Recently, the most important task of the 131 crew is to break the record and maintain no safety accidents for days.

In the past few days, the entire crew was in a state of nervousness. They even walked with their eyes fixed on the ground, as if they were afraid of stepping on even an ant and causing safety problems.

It was already the second to last day, and as long as they could pass it smoothly, their 200th safe run record would be within their grasp. The atmosphere within the group became even more tense and serious.

You see, the morning meeting has begun, and the conductor Bai Tianchang has been talking about driving safety regulations for half an hour. "That's it, there is one more thing I want to remind you." It was not until the driver Cao Wen looked at his watch that he realized that he reminded Bai Tianchang that it was almost time to drive.

The train captain nodded slightly, his face expressionless but his voice raised as he announced: "Today is the 200th safe driving day for the 131st train in our locomotive section. As long as we drive this safely, we will have a chance to break the record, so everyone must go all out."

"Yes!" The police team, the driver team and the crew members immediately perked up. If they broke the record, they would not only receive a safe operation bonus, but also be promoted to a safe star packaged ride team. This honor would be enough to make them proud when they compared themselves with other teams.

In this era, reputation is more important than anything else and is no joke. Some people would even sacrifice their lives without hesitation for the sake of honor.

At this moment, Li Aiguo frowned slightly. Did Bai Tianchanggang already put up the sign? He noticed that the atmosphere in the group today was unusual.

Liu Qingquan and coal miner Lao Zheng walked quietly. They often looked around and would immediately step forward to stop any irregular behavior if they found it.

At the station, Yan Jiecheng was unable to hide his fatigue from a busy morning, squatting in the shade and chewing steamed bread, taking a break with a group of coal miners. Seeing Li Aiguo approaching, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically: "Brother Guo, are you going to drive again?"

"Yes, are you okay? Are you tired?" Li Aiguo waved his hand and asked them to start checking the locomotive, then chatted with Yan Jiecheng for a while, "Master Zhang is really a good master. He taught me a lot of tricks. I'm in much better shape recently."

He knew that other colleagues and team leaders had noticed this scene, so Yan Jiecheng said flatteringly: "Brother Guo is busy, I won't waste your precious time."

Yan Jiecheng's little tricks naturally could not be hidden from Li Aiguo's eyes.

Young man, think of yourself as a big tree and rely on it for protection.

As the saying goes, like father, like son, like daughter. The Yan family is indeed of the same lineage, born with the ability to be shrewd and calculating. It seems that I need to ask Yan Bugui to treat me to a good feast for a few days.

Just follow the standards from last time. Because Li Aiguo was delayed for a little time, by the time he got on the locomotive, Liu Qingquan and the others had completed all the inspections.

"Driver Li, the people in the maintenance workshop are very responsible. The locomotive is in excellent condition. The air pump, oil pump, fuel tank, water pump, sand spreader, water tank, and even the water level have been carefully checked and confirmed to be in good condition."

"Load the coal, let's go!" Seeing the dispatcher waving the signal flag, Li Aiguo sat firmly in the sturdy cockpit and drove the steam engine forward.

The rumbling sound of the whistle is exciting, and the working of the cylinder and piston is accompanied by a powerful exhaust note, which is full of attraction.

The front of the train emitted wisps of black smoke and gradually disappeared at the other end of the track. Yan Jiecheng stared at it for a long time, then reluctantly withdrew his gaze, took a bite of the black-faced steamed bun, grabbed the kettle and drank a few sips of water.

"Operating a train is as simple as it can be. It is not as difficult as you think. As long as a dog has a bone tied to the valve, it can operate it." Yan Jiecheng has a positive desire to become a train driver and has been secretly observing his colleagues operating trains these days.

A "pop" sound was heard, and he was slapped crisply on the forehead.

When he looked up and was about to get angry, he saw that it was his master Zhang Gong.

He quickly adjusted his expression: "Master Zhang, what are you doing..."

"You are always so ambitious," said Master Zhang, tapping the table with his pipe. "Although it looks easy to operate a train, there are many tricks involved."

"The last time I went home to visit my family, I took a train driven by driver Li. When the train started, the water in the teacup on the table didn't even sway, and I thought I was very engaged in the conversation. It wasn't until the house outside the window began to recede that I realized I had left the station for a long time. It was really a different kind of beauty."

"If you have a new driver and the valve is not properly controlled, the noise when you start the car will be outrageous. It will make a lot of noise and it won't get on track. Then you have to brake hard and repeatedly before it can really start. It will make both you and the horse restless."

Yan Jiecheng was a little surprised: "Is it really that exaggerated?"

"You can't even carry a load steadily now, and you still want to drive a train?" Master Zhang glared at him, "Next time, don't always ask others for help when you carry things."

When Yan Jiecheng started to walk with the load, his steps were unsteady and his upper body was shaky. Concerned about his ability, Master Zhang often asked other coal car workers to help him.

"I was just making an analogy." Yan Jiecheng seemed quite aggrieved. He just had ambitions.

He found it hard to accept the master's approach of not only failing to encourage but also discouraging enthusiasm.

Tianjin is a historical transportation link of more than 100 kilometers from Beijing, and the two cities have had frequent exchanges since ancient times. There is a short saying among the people to describe the train stations between the two places: "Yangliu Lane in the north of Tianjin, under Zhang's Corridor, Wan'an and Huangtu Road, Fengyong connects to Zhengyang." This was the nickname for all the railway stations from Tianjin to Beijing at that time.

The reason for the emergence of the catchphrase is that in the past, trains did not have station announcements. Passengers who remembered this song and counted the stations one by one could roughly avoid missing the station. After the founding of New China, in order to facilitate people's travel, the announcer would list the stations ahead before driving, which greatly reduced confusion. The broadcast reminded: "Attention, passengers and viewers, please take your belongings if you are going to get off the train, and stop at Fengtai Station ahead."

Inside the carriage, Zhang Yazhi's passionate voice was heard over the radio.

No abnormalities occurred when Train No. 131 passed through Tongfengtai Station, Yongdingmen Station, Tongzhou Chadao Station and Zhengyangmen Station.

Li Aiguo also gradually relaxed and leisurely lit a cigarette.

Apparently, in an era when even gods and demons were feared, the traditional rules of raising flags no longer seemed to apply.

Throughout the journey, Train No. 258 recorded smooth and accurate operation.

But suddenly,

Liu Qingquan, the co-pilot who was observing the front, called out in a hurry: "Driver, it's raining outside!"

Li Aiguo turned and looked at the side windshield.

The storm was like a merciless whip, lashing the car windows in the strong wind.

"It's normal to rain, no need to worry." Liu Qingquan didn't seem to take it seriously.

The weather is unpredictable and moving trains are often hit by heavy rain, hail or snow.

As long as the track is clear, there is no need to panic.

But they didn't expect that the rain would become increasingly heavy and the strong wind would make it difficult for the train to move forward, just as night fell in an instant.

The rain hit the windows, making people feel restless.

Although I don't care much about the rain,

The key is that the external storm is too strong.

Through the window, Li Aiguo caught a glimpse of a small tree that seemed to be pointing straight to the sky and flying freely.

He immediately applied the brakes, and the friction between the wheels and the rails caused the speed to gradually decrease.
