He even ended the working dinner with a "peacock dance" to the amazement and joy of everyone. This scene seemed to prove that he was a master who really knew how to enjoy life and had found his fun in this busy world.

Time unknowingly came to the morning of the fourth day.

When Section Chief Zhao brought the prepared breakfast into the conference room, he was surprised to find that all the tables were covered with undigested rice grains - it was obvious that Driver Li would stay up late with his colleagues to solve the problem instead of simply eating something quick to fill his stomach.

After a night of intense work and waiting, Section Chief Zhao realized that this effort, which lasted longer than expected, was to ensure the future of the company. His heart was filled with admiration for this group of hardworking, loyal and dedicated employees, whose efforts ultimately made this day one of the most iconic days in the history of the entire team.

After the four-day arduous schedule, when the team members returned home, they might not immediately realize their victory. But for team members such as Li Aiguo and Liu Qingquan, they have realized that their hard work this week has successfully paved the way for the company's future, and they have gained satisfaction from the value and impact they have created together. Their work achievements have not only brought positive development to the company, but also inspired everyone's confidence in professional enthusiasm and team strength. Although this story begins with the numbers "632", the teamwork, dedication and victory it embodies in the end exceed the sum of single-digit numbers. At this moment, they are not only people who have completed a certain task, but also shapers and promoters of corporate history, writing a new chapter for the team's future.

He wore a dark blue coarse cloth long gown and trousers, with a dark black ribbon tied around the waist, and "pig-arch" cloth shoes on his feet. This was the typical attire of the old people in Linxi in the old days.

The only difference was that the old lady was neatly dressed, her clothes and trousers washed till they were perfectly white without any trace of smoke.

When Aiguo was thinking about asking questions,

The lady seemed to be sure of his identity and held a bamboo basket in her hand and handed it to him: "Driver Li, thank you for saving my child."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left quickly, and appeared to be extremely cautious to avoid being seen by others and getting into trouble.

The old lady’s child?

At this moment, Li Aiguo lifted the thick cloth covering the bamboo basket. What did he see?

When he raised his eyes, he saw a figure projected in the morning sunlight, which was extremely prominent and great, with a visual sense of sturdiness given by the thin and petite figure.

Until I saw the old lady off,

Then Li Aiguo calmed himself down, gently pressed the handbrake, and the train started slowly, accelerating towards the Zhaojiagou coal washing station.

The Zhaojiagou coal washing station is only a few miles away from the loading site of the Linxi mining area. It takes less than ten minutes for the train to travel there.

There were so many piles of coal at the station that they looked like a hill. Trucks, flat cars, donkey carts were full of people waiting in line to buy coal. A man with a bulging belly, whose work uniform could not be buttoned, waved his hands to direct the bucket truck to load the coal. The sound of his fists echoed like the wind, and he scolded the people who were queuing to buy coal.

After retracting his gaze, Li Aiguo slowly pulled down the gate, allowing the train to slowly stop at the coal washing station.

The appearance of the train attracted a lot of attention. The old man who was pulling the ox cart held the reins tightly for fear that the animals would be frightened. Seeing the train, the fat man's eyes shrank slightly, and he took out a notebook from his jacket pocket and swayed closer.

When he walked to the engine room door, he scanned the entire train and said with a cunning look: "Are you from Qianmen Station? I am a staff member of the coal washing plant management. Please call me Director Liu."

"Hello, Director Liu!" Li Aiguo handed him the dispatch plan after getting off the train and, as usual, a cigarette.

After receiving the schedule, Fatty was still muttering to himself: "More than 2,000 tons, do you really think this was produced by Fatty Liu? Are the people in the dispatch center crazy?"

Li Aiguo frowned slightly. The director had personally informed the coal washing plant before leaving that there was sufficient high-quality clean coal available for use.

Then Fatty Liu took the cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff. He then held the cigarette close to his eyes to observe the chart and smiled in an ambiguous way.

"Little brother, your cigarettes are really good, they are from a famous brand. You can't buy such a good brand here in Linxi." Fat Liu praised.

When Li Aiguo heard this, he also picked up the cigarette and took two puffs.

"I heard that railway drivers like us always like to bring a few packs of good cigarettes when we go out driving." Liu Pang's hands seemed to be stroking the trouser legs like a greedy wolf, rubbing them gently, making a unique gesture that belonged to the era.

Is this blackmail?

Li Aiguo smiled and said, "Sorry, you misunderstood."

"Oh?" Fat Liu stared at Li Aiguo with wide eyes and found that there was no further action or reaction.

Then he chuckled and patted his abdomen, "It turns out that my memory was wrong."

Fat Liu picked up the dispatch schedule again, flipped through a few pages on the table, and smiled smugly: "Wait, I'll arrange for someone to help you load the goods."

Liu Qingquan, who had been following behind, saw Fatty Liu staggering towards the loading and unloading area. He thought for a moment and said, "I thought I would have to spend a lot of money today, but I didn't expect this guy to take the initiative to restrain his attitude."

“Friends from afar, please don’t let your guard down.”

The driver in charge of the truck suddenly opened the door, jumped out of the old GA model truck, and reminded: "Fat Liu is famous for being difficult to deal with in the coal washing plant. If you don't give him gifts or show your kindness, he will definitely use some unethical tricks to mess with you in secret."

Li Aiguo also handed over a cigarette: "I'm from the Qianmen Locomotive Depot, how about you, bro?"

Another driver took the cigarette and said, "I came from the thermos bottle factory in Tangshan, and I came here specifically to deliver coal to the factory." His hair was gray, and he held a cigarette in his mouth while turning his head to look at his apprentice who was still sitting on the roof of the car without moving.

"This guy seems to have no eyes. If he wasn't my relative's child, I really wouldn't bring him out."

After a brief explanation, Li Aiguo was able to fully understand what the other party meant - if one wanted to learn a job like driving, one had to become an apprentice of a master, and at the same time do some odd jobs.

Li Aiguo turned around and asked, "What does this 'respectfully sent' mean?"

"You really are from outside." The driver looked at his busy apprentice and said softly:

"Liu Pang is the dispatcher of the coal washing plant and can command and dispatch loaders. Although his position is not high, he has enough power to influence the quality of cargo loading - from good to bad selection to the amount of loading, everything is determined by his words and deeds. No one dares to disobey him, and those transporters who come to load coal know the rules he strictly abides by."

The apprentice nodded, jumped off the truck, picked up a white porcelain plate hanging on the edge of the truck, and ran quickly to the coal washing area on the side.

"This guy has no sense of judgment. Apart from the fact that he is my cousin's child, I really don't want to bother with him."

When the driver explained this, he actually understood Li Aiguo's confusion. In this era, if you want to learn how to drive, you usually have to learn various trivial tasks as a master's apprentice.

Then, he looked back at Li Aiguo again and asked, what is the meaning of "respectfully sent"?

Hearing this question, the experienced driver slowly shook his head and said, "You are really an outsider.

He stared at the new driver who was working hard, and explained in detail in a low voice:

"Liu Pang from the coal washing plant is the dispatcher. He can direct the movement of loaders.

Even though it is not a particularly prominent position,

But this position brings a lot of authority.

Whether loading high quality coal,

Or you can choose details such as inferior products, overload or underload goods, etc.

Everything depends on his decision. No one dares to annoy him easily.

For those who come to haul coal, it is clear that he has a strict set of rules.

A trailer loaded with coal weighs half a standard box of tobacco, while a truck can carry twice as much.

"For a truck like this, you'd have to have at least a full box of cigarettes."

It was late autumn at this moment. There were no trees to provide shade in the loading yard. The heat from the ground under the sun hit our faces. The people in the queue waiting to load were anxious and irritable.

"Hey, there are more rules now."

Listening to the truck driver's explanation, Li Aiguo's expression became serious.

The driver looked at Li Aiguo, whose mood was unstable, and took two puffs of his cigarette. "We who work in the train business are actually from the same guild as you truck drivers. All drivers in the world are of the same blood. I have a piece of advice for you: you'd better solve your problem quickly, otherwise..."

Suddenly, "thump"

The conversation was not over yet when a porcelain basin on the top of the trailer was hit by a curbstone during the rapid running, and it slipped and fell to the ground, and the porcelain basin was thrown more than half a meter away.

"Oh, kid, you are so clumsy. You want to be a driver when you grow up!" The truck driver ignored the content of the conversation and quickly stepped forward to check the fallen ceramic basin. He ignored the things on the ground and grabbed the fallen child. He raised his big hand as if he was going to hit him, but he still held back his anger.

He brushed the dust off the child's patched clothes and responded in a fierce tone: "You stay here now and see how the master handles things."

Then, the driver picked up the fallen porcelain basin, ran to the coal washing area, scooped a basin of water, then opened the cover of the equipment and started his work.
