Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

He has adapted to the section's orderly arrangement of daily work, such as train scheduling and maintenance inspection.

However, at such events, unexpected things like to happen.

How can a celebration meeting be scheduled in the afternoon?

It's easy to understand that the railway system is like a huge machine, with thousands of trains running all over the country every day.

Whether leaders, flight attendants or drivers, they are all tiny cogs in this huge system.

There is a shortage of manpower on the railway today, unlike in later generations when there were so many rotating personnel.

If you want to celebrate, don't you have to use time wisely?

It's like a glorious victory on the battlefield.

The soldiers were only able to take a short break on the march and hold a small celebration as they prepared for the next offensive.

On the other side,

Section Chief Xing Liuzhu convened a brief meeting in his office to discuss how to apportion the credit for the 200-day safe operation. Also present were Coach Captain Bai and Director Jia, the Director of Passenger Transport Marketing.

There is no doubt that Captain Bai played a vital role in achieving the 200-day accident-free record, and the rest of the crew members will share the remaining credit.

However, Captain Bai mentioned that on the last day of operation, a major accident was avoided because the train driver Li Aiguo and co-driver Liu Qingquan drove carefully in the rain and deliberately reduced the speed. This contribution should be praised separately and is the recognition they deserve.

It would be unjustifiable not to commend this remarkable achievement.

Director Jia was now very dissatisfied with Li Aiguo, and he was often scolded by Liu Chunhua because of this young man. Therefore, his position was very different from others.

"Section Chief, it is the driver's responsibility to drive the train. Li Aiguo simply performed his duties by preventing the accident and does not need any special reward." Director Jia lit a cigarette and continued, "Furthermore, Li Aiguo also handled the incident improperly. He should not have allowed the police to stay at the scene to help the old farmer find the lost sheep."

"That old man might just be trying to take advantage of us. He said three sheep were lost, but who knows if he wanted to make a fortune because he saw that our locomotive section was wealthy," he said indignantly.

"boom!"

Before Director Jia finished speaking,

Section Chief Xing Liuzhu slammed the table hard, interrupting the other party's words.

"Director Jia, please restrain your attitude. Migrant workers are our fellow workers. No one in our locomotive section can claim to be superior to them." Xing Liuzhu recalled: "When we first started, we also benefited from the strong support of farmers along the line. In order to ensure the safe passage of our railway trains, they were willing to give up their fertile land. You should know this very well."

Director Jia was scolded so much that sweat beads appeared on his face. He lowered his head and whispered unwillingly: "Our life is also tight now. Am I not doing this for the good of the locomotive section?" Despite this, he did not completely agree with what Section Chief Xing Liuzhu said.

Xing Liuzhu responded coldly: "Even though the situation is difficult and poor, we railway workers cannot neglect our fellow farmers."

My dear master, this chapter is not yet finished. Click the next page to continue reading. There are more exciting contents later! "

"I have ordered the supplies department to purchase six sheep, 20 kilograms of rice, and 30 kilograms of flour. I have also personally written a letter of praise and sent it to Uncle Zhou as our greeting!"

Upon hearing this, Director Jia's face turned extremely pale.

He had inquired before and found out that Duanli had not given Zhou Bo any compensation, so he dared to adopt this strategy.

"Duanzhang, you really take the relationship between workers and peasants very seriously and have a high level of awareness. I..." Director Jia wanted to flatter him, but was immediately interrupted:

"I have checked the operating records. The professionalism shown by Li Aiguo after the heavy rain was the key factor in avoiding accidents. Therefore, he deserves extra praise this time." Due to the implementation of the section chief responsibility system, Xing Liuzhu's opinion is the final decision.

After being criticized by his leader, Director Jia chose to remain silent at this moment.

The setting sun hangs obliquely in the sky, and the fiery clouds in the sky are exceptionally gorgeous.

On the Beijing railway, the Qianmen Locomotive Depot held a celebration event for the 200th anniversary of accident-free operation as scheduled.

After entering the synagogue,

Everyone was shocked by the scene before them.

The chief of the locomotive section Xing Liuzhu, the party secretary Ma Zhanshan, the deputy director of passenger transport Zhou Xuehong, the chairman of the trade union Zhang Dequan and the main leaders of the party and mass departments gathered together.

The crew group of seven or eight train conductors, more than a dozen workshop directors and secretaries, and departmental cadres filled the meeting hall, applauding enthusiastically and watching with smiles.

"Congratulations to the crew of package 131 for breaking the historical record of our section!" All the management staff walked over one by one, shook hands with them and congratulated them.

Then, the propaganda officer came forward to put bright red ribbons on them and awarded them big red flowers, which was a supreme honor for them.

What Li Aiguo did not expect was that the person who gave him the red flower was his childhood friend Zhou Ke's newly-wed girlfriend Huang Shuhua.

Recently, Zhou Ke listened to Li Aiguo's advice and took the initiative to pursue her. With the introduction of the director of the Railway Women's Committee, they successfully got married and planned to enter the marriage hall in two months.

Because Zhou Keyin was busy decorating his new house, Li Aiguo had not been able to meet him.

"Comrade Li Aiguo, congratulations." Huang Shuhua's eyes were full of respect.

"You are too polite, sister-in-law." Li Aiguo did not forget to make a humorous comment.

After a brief greeting, the commendation ceremony officially kicked off.

Li Aiguo, Bai Yuejie and other crew members wearing red flowers were arranged to sit in the first row of the conference room, and the leadership team took to the podium.

The grand and solemn ceremony was specially designed by Section Chief Xing Liuzhu. With the continuous improvement of railway facilities, the head office tends to regard safe driving as the most core evaluation criterion.

Now everything must be run according to regulations, safety is the top priority, and we can no longer act arbitrarily as before. As the largest subordinate section of the head office, Qianmen Locomotive Depot must take the lead and respond to the call from the top.

Section Chief Xing Liuzhu and Secretary Ma Zhanshan gave speeches in turn, highly praising the 131 crew's adherence to safety first, passenger-oriented, and enterprising qualities, and called on colleagues across the section to emulate their spirit.

Next, Director Zhou Xuehong read out the notice of commendation and rewards.

After collective research by the section leaders and based on the branch's reward and punishment standards, the crew leader Bai Yuejie was given a bonus of two RMB, the driver Li Aiguo was rewarded with 1.5 RMB, and the co-driver was rewarded with 1 RMB.

All crew members were also awarded team awards.

Although the prize money had no real content, only a certificate and gifts, one of which was a blanket. In those days, even things worth 40 or 50 yuan needed blanket tickets to purchase, so such a reward was really a great reward.

Bai Yuejie could hardly suppress her inner excitement, because this 200-day safety record would enhance her competitiveness in the year-end outstanding train conductor selection.

Standing next to her on the podium was Li Aiguo, whom she admired. She was filled with emotion. She was so lucky to meet such an excellent train driver, otherwise she would not be on the podium accepting praise, but would be trapped in a small room writing an accident report.

Li Aiguo was even happier, not just because of these honors. His mind had long since turned to the traffic safety news report he and Captain Bai had written together. Thinking that his article might appear in the newspaper, even a sesame-sized page would make him satisfied and he couldn't help but smile.

"Crack"——

A flash of light captured this joyful moment, which was frozen by Huang Shuhua's camera.

"The key is to be meticulous in safe driving. Once, crew member Zhao Youling noticed that the anti-skid shoes on the train were not properly placed,"

In a staff dormitory of the locomotive depot, the train conductor Bai Yuejie was talking nonstop. Seeing Li Aiguo holding the pen motionlessly, he frowned and said, "Driver, why don't you write it down? These are all valuable operational experiences. If they can be published in the newspaper, it will undoubtedly remind everyone to pay attention to details."

Captain Bai had no objection to assigning Li Aiguo to write the article. After all, Li was a technical secondary school graduate and he liked to write some articles, but he didn't seem to be actively involved now.

"Captain, this article is to celebrate our locomotive depot's achievement of 200 safe driving milestones, not to impart skills." Li Aiguo capped the pen tightly and gently held its smooth surface in thought. "Although the Beijing Railway Workers' Newspaper is a small publication, it is published on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Due to limited page capacity, news articles cannot exceed 500 words, and news articles cannot exceed 300 words, unless there are special circumstances. Normally, they will never exceed 300 words. Although our achievements are outstanding, the content of the article must not exceed 300 words."

Bai Yuejie was surprised by this. She gently held her forehead and said, "I didn't expect there are so many tricks here. If it weren't for you, I would probably have to write a 2,000-word article. You know a lot about the situation and deeds in the group. It would be better if I wrote according to your ideas."

Bai Yuejie was good at guiding others, but she was not good at writing. At this moment, she let Li Aiguo handle everything. He had worked as a government employee for several years, wrote many news releases, and published some poems. Writing such "contribution-showing" articles was easy for him. In less than half an hour, he had written a 300-word article.

"Captain, please check if there is anything that needs to be adjusted?" After handing over the draft, Li Aiguo elegantly poured himself a cup of large-leaf tea supplied by the Material Department. Although the taste was not very good and even had a bit of bitterness, it had a very refreshing effect.

After reading it carefully, Captain Bai pointed to his article and said: "Most of the content in this manuscript benefited from the careful guidance of the Railway Bureau and the care of the leaders of the locomotive depot..."

The story of No. 269 is about the crew of Package 131. I would like to add that your position in the team is not even worthy of a name.

This is obviously not praising us, but directly praising our superiors. Is this appropriate?"

Li Aiguo put down the ceramic teacup, casually pulled out a copy of the Beijing Railway Workers' Newspaper from the bookshelf next to him, and handed it to Bai Yuejie: ​​"Team Leader Yuejie, you can take a look at other content."

As a military veteran, she was not keen on writing. She spent her days on the train and only glanced at newspapers during ideological study meetings. But the newspaper she read was Renren Daily, which focused on national affairs and rarely touched on tabloids.
