Especially in the society of his time, if you offended the security guard, you couldn't even pass through your own door. What's more, the security department here had regular members and some even carried weapons.

"I'm so embarrassed to tell you that I've caused you so much trouble every time." The security guard took the cigarette sheepishly, put it between his ears and said with a smile, "It was an elderly lady who came to see you. She looks to be in her seventies."

The title of "Auntie" made Li Aiguo a little confused.

After following the security staff to the door, Li Aiguo's confusion deepened. He actually had no impression of this elderly lady.

He quickly approached and asked, "Auntie, you are looking for me..."

The old lady looked up with the basket in her hand, and looked Li Aiguo up and down with her cloudy eyes, as if to make sure that she had indeed found the driver, Li Aiguo.

"You are the driver of this train, your name is Li Aiguo?"

"I am him. Is there anything you need to contact me about?" He answered hesitantly, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart - what exactly did the other party want to convey behind this gift list?

She took out a book from the basket in her hand and handed it to him.

The title of the book is: What happens in an athlete's body during exercise?

This was written by a scholar from ** country and published by Education Press. Although this book is one of the relatively common sports textbooks in this period, the purpose of its gift really puzzled Li Aiguo: Was he invited to use this book as a professional athlete?

Confused, he took the book and looked up to ask, but while waiting for an answer, the old lady disappeared.

I looked around but didn't see any footprints. This was indeed a bit too fast...

Li Aiguo soon realized that something was unusual. He went under the cover and found some codes on the cover of the book.

This was a unique coding scheme invented by Li Aiguo and granted only to Xiaoer (role replacement). Now he understood: it turned out that the elderly lady had cleverly used his knowledge to communicate - this trick, she was really smart and clever!

After checking his surroundings to make sure no one was around, Li Aiguo gently put the book into his pocket and swaggered into the maintenance area. He returned to his dormitory.

The colleagues in the chartered car team were all driving and the room was empty.

Then he spread the books on the table and compared them one by one according to the number list he remembered.

A complete message was analyzed and decoded in this unconventional way.

Indeed, it was a letter sent by Lou Xiao'e.

The letter mentioned that she had landed safely in Hong Kong City and found her eldest brother in the family.

As far as we know, the situation of the Lou family is just as Li Aiguo expected. Although they have invested a lot of assets, they have fallen into a loss due to the mischief of ** people and the oppression of the police.

In order to prevent the news from leaking out, Lou Xiao'e deliberately concealed the information about the gold she was carrying. According to Li Aiguo's plan, the gold was temporarily stored in HSBC Bank, leaving only a negligible part for livelihood use.

Currently, with the help of her relatives in Gangcheng, she is gradually getting in touch with the vice-president of Gangcheng University and plans to formally enroll in the university for further studies.

The latest contact information and phone number are attached at the end of the letter, and the main text is detailed and as long as four to five thousand words, mainly focusing on delicate descriptions of emotions and daily life.

It can be seen that Lou Xiao'e seems to be deeply influenced by the atmosphere of Hong Kong City. After reading the entire letter, Li Aiguo finally felt relieved - the key is that as long as he acts according to the predetermined plan, Lou Xiao'e will be safe and sound in Hong Kong City. When the spring breeze blows, Lou Xiao'e, who has completed her studies and is familiar with the environment of Hong Kong City, will definitely become a great helper in his career development.

Although I am reluctant to give up the joy of growth and the feeling of companionship.

But the story does not end here - please click here to turn the page and read the follow-up.

Afterwards, Li Aiguo returned to his home with the books. The books seemed to be burned by a fire, and the residual heat turned into wisps of smoke and dissipated.

The passage of time is like the bloating feeling after eating bad fruit - although it is always tightly held, the dry goods are still difficult to touch.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days had passed.

Xu Damao's house was finally renovated. Thanks to the careful management of Liu Da, the team leader, the total cost was less than thirty coins. This achievement made Xu Damao very happy. Although he did not directly talk about saving money, he just boasted about the superior technology of the construction team of the Machinery Bureau:

"Liu Lan, come and take a look. The bed is so sturdy that it won't fall down no matter how naughty the children are."

While pointing out a room with bunk beds, Liu Lan was particularly surprised by the fact that most families in this era did not have bunk beds. She said, "I didn't expect Li Aiguo to mobilize the architects from the Machinery Bureau to help us decorate the room."

Then he said, "Need I say this? Li Aiguo and I have a very close relationship. He even helped me to get back an 'injustice' a few days ago."

Talking about Li Aiguo's heroic performance in the recent incident where Jia Xudong was attacked, Xu Damao was full of praise for this young man.

Liu Lan's eyes sparkled, she pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "If Li Aiguo is really that outstanding, why hasn't he married yet?"

This question seems a bit out of scope.

Xu Damao didn't take it too seriously. He muttered to himself while sweeping the floor: "He had a girlfriend before, Qin Huairu, who had quarreled with him some time ago. Later, due to the death of his family and his own serious illness, and because Qin Huairu was the kind of woman who was good at taking advantage of opportunities, she married a member of the Jia family after what happened."

"This is what they call 'too clever by half'!"

Liu Lan found a seat and sat down, then continued to ask, "I heard that taxi drivers get paid a lot?"

"Li Aiguo doesn't like to talk about these things. From what I know, there should be about a hundred yuan."

When Li Aiguo's name was mentioned, Xu Damao was filled with pride. He stood up and said, "He is not just a car driver. Recently, he also had an article published in a newspaper or magazine."

"Really?" Liu Lan's eyes widened.

"Of course, let me find some information."

Xu Damao also kept a newspaper at home. He took it out from under the bed and handed it to Liu Lan to look at.

Facing the article printed in lead type, Liu Lan's eyes opened wider, and her eyes showed admiration. Due to Liu Lan's low level of education, she usually admired educated scholars and writers the most. To be able to have her own articles in newspapers, she undoubtedly had a very high status and reputation.

Observing this obsessed look, Xu Damao realized that he might be too straightforward and quickly took the newspaper back.

"As for Li Aiguo, he is well-off and picky. Ordinary girls simply don't appear in his eyes. A few days ago, my aunt's family tried to introduce him to a girl, but he rejected it. It is said that the girl's father is the owner of a silk shop."

Only then did Liu Lan come to his senses and asked in a serious tone: "Da Mao, you really know a lot!"

"Of course. I will keep my ears to any news of the compound. But I didn't specifically tell you what's going on in our compound before."

Liu Lan said in surprise, "Husband."

"I'm not married to you!" Liu Lan's face turned red.

Xu Damao smiled, walked to Liu Lan, grabbed her hand and said, "I have already decided that it is you. No matter what happens in the future, you can't escape from me."

"How disgusting!" Liu Lan pulled her hand away suddenly and made a face.

Then he said, "But I'm not here to cause trouble. I have something important to tell you."

Seeing that Xu Damao became serious, Liu Lan also put on a serious expression.

Xu Damao added, "The situation in the yard is quite complicated. You should be familiar with the old man, right? That Yi Zhonghai worked as a senior fitter in the factory."

"That's the Yi Zhonghai we often talk about, right? He has considerable influence in the workshop." Liu Lan nodded in confirmation.

Xu Damao went on to say that although the old man gave people a solemn and dignified feeling, he was actually a man with ulterior motives. Because he had no idea of ​​having his own children, he wanted Jia Dongxu to be the candidate for old-age care, so he often stood on Jia Dongxu's side.

"Speaking of which, when Li Jianguo and Jia Dongxu were arguing last time, why did Yi Zhonghai teach Li Jianguo a lesson without knowing the truth?"

Liu Lan did not take Yi Zhonghai's attitude to heart. After all, when she was at the scene, Yi Zhonghai showed fear instead of calmness.

"In our old Beijing-style courtyard house, only Li Aiguo dares to go up against Yi Zhonghai." Xu Dali sighed and added, "In addition, the deaf old lady has phantoms every day, smashing things and breaking windows in other people's homes. It's only because she is usually too strictly controlled by Li Aiguo that she is rarely in everyone's sight."

When hearing these narrations, Xu Dali's tone revealed a complex emotion. It seemed that he found that he had inadvertently brought the focus of the discussion back to Li Aiguo, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He immediately changed the topic, "You know Second Uncle Liu Aihua. He is a doting alcoholic. You don't need to pay too much attention to him. You just need to let the children know not to cause trouble for him. The one we really need to be wary of is Third Uncle."

"Isn't Third Uncle a teacher?" Liu Lan asked.

Xu Dali grinned and said, "Hey, you don't know everything. He is indeed a teacher, but he prefers to be cheap. Every time I bring back local specialties from the mountains, they always disappear and are taken away by Uncle San."

After hearing this story, Liu Lan couldn't help but feel curious, "There really is a hidden dragon in our Liyuan Garden!"
