The train driver in the courtyard

"What? You and Li Aiguo caught the sheep thief together?"

When Nan Yi returned home and heard Liang Ermao's words, he stood up from his chair in shock.

"Dad, those three sheep thieves are bandits! They all look like iron towers, they are very scary."

Liang Ermao puffed up his chest and said, "Dad, you don't know how powerful the patriotic uncle is. Facing three bandits, he took out his pistol without blinking. Three shots were fired, and the three bandits knelt down at that time. Fell to the ground."

"I am also very brave and responsible for standing guard outside."

Thinking of the scene at that time, Liang Ermao felt very proud.

Nan Yi rubbed Liang Ermao's head, pulled him over, and checked him carefully.

It was a relief to see that the child was not injured.

After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Liang Ladi said happily: "It's better now. The mutton is back, and we have recovered part of the loss."

As she spoke, she hesitated: "It's just that there is so much mutton. It would be too sinful for us to eat it ourselves. What should we do?"

Nan Yi said: "Don't worry about so much, cut off ten kilograms of the best mutton and give it to the patriotic country. If it weren't for others this time, how could we get the mutton back?"

Nan Yi felt frightened when he heard that the three sheep thieves were all armed with guns and were still bandits.

If Li Aiguo had not been involved in this matter, what would have been the consequences if Ermao encountered these sheep thieves alone on the street?

He couldn't imagine it anymore.

It doesn't matter if the sheep is gone. If something happens to Er Mao, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

People!

That's it, only when you lose it do you know how to cherish it.

Just as Li Aiguo worried.

The weather is hot and the mutton used as evidence cannot be stored for too long.

There is no doubt that the tiger, leopard and dog brothers stole the sheep. What needs to be verified now are other crimes.

At the suggestion of Wang Zhenshan, the Nantongluoxiang Police Station returned the "lost" mutton to Nanyi in advance.

at dusk.

People come and go in the courtyard.

Nan Yi pushed the flatbed cart to pull the mutton back.

Seeing the bright red mutton on the flatbed truck, the third man from the front yard rushed up and blocked the road.

"Nanyi, what's going on with this mutton? Did you buy it?"

"How could I be willing to buy it?"

Nan Yi raised his head and wiped his sweat, and said with a smile: "Driver Li caught the sheep thief, and the sheep have been slaughtered by those guys."

"Li Aiguo is really quite capable. He was able to catch a sheep thief."

The third uncle's focus is not here, but on the mutton.

He took Nan Yi's arm and asked: "Nanyi, you are reluctant to eat these muttons, how about selling them to me?"

Looking at the little eyes blinking behind the tortoise shell glasses of the third uncle, Nan Yi understood at that time that the third uncle was going to buy low and sell high to make money.

Nan Yi doesn't mind the third uncle making money, that's the third uncle's ability.

It's just that he is afraid that if the third uncle is caught, he will be implicated.

Once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, Nanyi was now very cautious and rejected the third uncle.

"Sorry, I'm going to sell this mutton to the food station."

"Oh, meat at the food station is half price, why are you so stupid!"

"Wherever I sell it, no one will give me any trouble."

Seeing that Nan Yi was a wooden head, the third uncle could only sigh.

Nan Yi returned to the compound with the mutton, which attracted the attention of many residents.

Everyone heard that Li Aiguo had caught a sheep thief, and they all gathered in the middle courtyard to join in the fun.

This was the first time that Liang Ermao showed his face like this in front of everyone. He jumped on the pool in the middle courtyard and said vividly: "You don't know, Driver Li is very powerful." He pointed at me and said, "Chief of Staff Bai, I order you to first Hidden away."

Liu Guangfu felt unhappy when he saw Liang Ermao's arrogant look, which made the eyes of little He Hua next door shine.

Little Hehua is the daughter of the old He family in the backyard. She is about the same age as them. She is very beautiful and is a good student in school.

Liu Guangfu felt a smell of jealousy at a young age.

"Driver Li, a passionate man, went to catch the sheep thief. Liang Ermao, you are hiding aside. Are you still a man?"

"As the chief of staff, I am responsible for logistics and security work. This is the task assigned to me by Captain Li. What do you know?"

"Liu Guangfu, don't make trouble!"

Everyone was listening with interest. How could catching a sheep thief be like fighting a bandit? Now seeing that he was interrupted, they all urged Liang Ermao.

Liang Ermao's face turned red and he said proudly: "Driver Li walked into the house and heard three gunshots. Guess what, the three sheep thieves were all put to the ground."

"So you don't know what happened in the house!" The residents suddenly lost interest.

Yan Jiecheng said: "Driver Li's marksmanship can pierce a tree from hundreds of miles away. This is considered a basic operation, nothing important!"

Liang Ermao felt slighted. He looked around and lowered his voice and said, "You may not know that those three sheep thieves are bandits!"

boom!
The news was like a bomb detonating in the crowd.

It has been seven or eight years since the capital was liberated, and the surrounding bandits have long been wiped out.

Now that they heard that there were bandits, the residents were all shocked from ear to ear, and at the same time felt a sense of fear in their hearts.

No one wants to buy two kilograms of white flour and carry it to their father-in-law's house, only to be beaten halfway down the street.

Yi Zhonghai came back from get off work at this time and happened to hear about this.

"Li Aiguo really caught the sheep thief? Those people are still bandits who have made meritorious deeds again."

His blood pressure, which had already dropped, suddenly rose. Yi Zhonghai went home angrily with his hands behind his back.

Jia Zhang also heard about this and was restless all afternoon.

After Jia Dongxu came back, he immediately closed the door and pulled Jia Dongxu into the back room, with a trace of worry on his fat face.

"Dongxu, Li Aiguo caught a sheep thief, will this matter involve you?"

"What? He really caught the three tiger, leopard and dog brothers?!"

Jia Dongxu squatted down on the chair as if he was struck by lightning.

Seeing this scene, Jia Zhang felt bad, so she grabbed Jia Dongxu's shoulders and shook her.

"Dongxu, you are really involved in this matter. It's okay. It won't be long before the comrades from the police station come to arrest you."

"I was wronged, mother, I didn't know that the tiger, leopard and dog brothers would steal Nan Yi's sheep." Jia Dongxu was also scared now.

"Oh, if this matter is investigated, you will be in trouble. Let's go, let's find your master."

Jia Zhang felt that the problem was serious, so she took Jia Dongxu to Yi Zhonghai's house and asked Jia Dongxu to tell the story in detail.

Jia Dongxu wanted to hide it at first.

But when he thought that he might be caught as a bandit accomplice, he could only bite the bullet and lose money playing cards.

He also told the story of introducing the three tiger, leopard and dog brothers to Liang Ermao.

After listening, Yi Zhonghai's palms holding the enamel jar were shaking a little, and his face darkened visibly. Is this still the filial and well-behaved son?
"Lao Yi, Dongxu is ignorant and has been fooled by others. You have to help this time."

Jia Zhang secretly pinched Jia Dongxu's waist, and Jia Dongxu knelt down in front of Yi Zhonghai with a pop.

"Master, you have to save me this time. Don't worry, I will definitely correct myself from now on and never play cards again!"

He looked very pitiful as he burst into tears.

"I lent you so much money and you lost it all?" Yi Zhonghai's voice trembled. Jia Dongxu lowered his head: "Yes"

"you"

Sadness came to mind, and Yi Zhonghai staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the aunt had quick eyesight and quick hands. She stepped forward to support him and helped him to the chair.

However, the enamel jar fell from his hand and fell to the ground with a clanking sound. The hot tea spilled all over Jia Dongxu, and he did not dare to avoid it.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned red from holding it in, and his eldest mother beat her chest again and felt relieved. It took a long time before he finally got better.

Looking at Jia Dongxu, who was kneeling on the ground with a messy face, Yi Zhonghai pinched his eyebrows in annoyance.

Now he was faced with a dilemma.

If you help, you will have to waste a lot of favors and spend a lot of money.

If he doesn't help, Jia Dongxu might be implicated.

Jia Dongxu is his pensioner.

If only he hadn't sent Silly Zhu in, he wouldn't have to value Jia Dongxu so much.

It's just that it's too late to regret it now.

After weighing it carefully, Yi Zhonghai sighed deeply, asked his aunt to wipe Jia Dongxu with a towel, and helped Jia Dongxu up.

"Dongxu, master, I will help you this time. You must work conscientiously from now on."

Hearing that he was saved, Jia Dongxu nodded hurriedly.

"Master. No, dad, you are my real dad."

Jia Zhang's face turned dark.

Considering that the tiger, leopard, and wolf brothers could confess at any time, Yi Zhonghai did not delay the matter. He took Jia Dongxu to the deaf old lady and asked a friend of the deaf old lady to come forward.

He personally sent Jia Dongxu to the police station and told him what happened at that time.

At this time, Wang Zhenshan had obtained the confessions of the three tiger, leopard and dog brothers, and also knew the role Jia Dongxu played in them.

He smoked a cigarette and said with a serious face: "Jia Dongxu, you know clearly that the three tiger, leopard and dog brothers are not good people, why did you introduce them to Liang Ermao? Liang Ermao is still a child."

"I was negligent, leader. I am willing to take responsibility and apologize to the Nanyi family."

Jia Dongxu followed Yi Zhonghai's instructions and insisted that he did not know that the three were sheep thieves or bandits, and he only said that they made careless friends.

The deputy director of the subdistrict office next to him also echoed, "Old Wang, Jia Dongxu did something wrong this time, but he didn't mean it. I think let's just forget about it. We should give people a chance to reform." Opportunity."

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief.

Deputy Director Ma has worked in South Tongluo Lane for many years and is considered a veteran. Even the director of the police station must give him some respect.

Jia Dongxu will definitely escape this time.

Wang Zhenshan raised his head and glanced at Deputy Director Ma. He was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Now we have repeatedly publicized the prohibition of gambling, but Jia Dongxu refuses to change. If we don't deal with it, it will affect the atmosphere of our neighborhood."

Deputy Director Ma did not expect that Wang Zhenshan would not pursue the matter between Jia Dongxu and the sheep thief, but would instead focus on gambling.

It's just that the prohibition of gambling is a policy from above, and the neighborhood is vigorously promoting it, and for a while he has no way to argue.

Yi Zhonghai's face turned ugly.

He felt that Wang Zhenshan was deliberately targeting Jia Dongxu this time.

Wang Zhenshan shook the cigarette ashes and continued: "Our neighborhood is promoting the ban on gambling, and Jia Dongxu is an obvious example.

Jia Dongxu, you first pay a fine of twenty yuan to the police station.

Then when the anti-gambling meeting is held the day after tomorrow, you will take the stage to speak out to all the residents in the neighborhood.

In addition, we will also inform the security department of your steel rolling mill about your gambling. "

As soon as this decision came out, Jia Dongxu's face suddenly turned pale.

Forget about the first two penalties.

Yi Zhonghai helped pay the fine.

Making a report will at most lose a little face.

If the security department of the steel rolling mill found out about playing cards and gambling, he would definitely be punished in the workshop.

"Captain Wang, isn't this treatment a bit serious? Jia Dongxu is also a victim. Those guys set up a trap and defrauded Dongxu of a lot of money!"

Yi Zhonghai also didn't expect Wang Zhenshan to be so vicious, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

Wang Zhenshan raised his eyes and looked at him: "Yi Zhonghai, as the master of the courtyard, now there is a gambler in the courtyard, so it stands to reason that you are also responsible.

Let's do this. When the conference is held the day after tomorrow, you will also take the stage to speak as a negative example. "

"."Yi Zhonghai.

He rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

Instead of pulling Jia Dongxu out, he let himself get stuck in. Yi Zhonghai felt that he was stealing the chicken but losing the rice.

Jia Dongxu wanted to quibble a bit, but Yi Zhonghai pulled his arm and told him to shut up.

Yi Zhonghai had already felt that Wang Zhenshan had already made up his mind before they came.

Otherwise, the decision would not have been made so quickly and Deputy Director Ma would not have any face left.

Wang Zhenshan asked the two of them to sign the disposal notice. Jia Dongxu needed to pay a fine of 20 yuan, but he had no money.

He could only turn his attention to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai felt what a heavy father's love is.

He had no choice but to take out the money to help Jia Dongxu pay the fine.

When the two of them left the police station, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu, who had been waiting outside for a long time, came to greet them.

Jia Zhang took Jia Dongxu's arm and couldn't wait to greet him and asked: "Dongxu, are you okay?"

"Don't mention it, I'm so unlucky this time." Jia Dongxu hung his head and handed the disposal notice to Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang took the notice and read it over and over for a long time. Finally, Qin Huairu saw that she was illiterate and took it over to read it for her.

Hearing that Jia Dongxu was fined 20 yuan and had to be a bad example, and even notified the steel rolling mill, Jia Zhang was so angry that she screamed.

"If our Dongxu refuses to admit it, there is nothing they can do against Dongxu. We are asking for trouble!"

Yi Zhonghai pinched his eyebrows in annoyance: "I invited Director Zhang today. Logically speaking, Captain Wang should give me some face, but who would have thought that he would be so ruthless."

At this point, he slapped his thigh suddenly and said, "Li Aiguo! This kid must be the one behind it!"

When Jia Zhang heard this, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "If it hadn't been for Li Aiguo, the Nanyi family's sheep wouldn't have been able to get back this time, and there wouldn't have been so many troubles. I think he just followed My family is against it.”

They cursed a few times, but they couldn't do anything to Li Aiguo.

Qin Huairu felt mixed emotions in her heart when she saw this scene.

Jia Dongxu was regarded as a negative example of gamblers and had to speak at the neighborhood meeting, and his reputation became bad from now on.

After he was imprisoned in the steel rolling mill because of his bad gambling, he would no longer have the opportunity to be promoted. He could only be a first-class worker for the rest of his life, earning a salary of twenty-seven yuan.

Li Aiguo is now a train driver, and his salary is more than 100 yuan.
Comparing the two, high and low stand out.

Qin Huairu regretted it a little.

It's just that it's too late to regret it now.
With sadness and depression choked in her throat, Qin Huairu followed behind the others and quietly wiped her tears.

After Yi Zhonghai returned home, he told his aunt about Jia Dongxu's fine.

"Old man, did we make a mistake in choosing Jia Dongxu to be the caregiver for the elderly?" The aunt sat on the chair and sighed repeatedly.

"It's too late to talk about this now. I still have to go to the factory to talk to the leaders about this matter."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't care less about rest, so he took two bottles of old wine and went to the steel rolling mill to clear up the relationship to prevent Jia Dongxu from being fired from the steel rolling mill.
