The train driver in the courtyard

Under the control of the meritorious fighter pilot, the transport plane broke through the cumulonimbus clouds and successfully arrived at Nanyuan Airport.

As soon as he got off the plane, Li Aiguo felt something was wrong.

The airport's alert level has been significantly increased today. In addition to the airport security officers, there are also several men in gray Zhongshan suits.

Li Aiguo had met two of them before; they were foreign affairs personnel.

Captain Zhang, who came to pick him up, explained in a low voice: "Someone from John Bull's family is here."

On the way to the weather station, Captain Zhang reported on the recent changes in international relations.

John Bull's tank was beaten up, but instead of getting angry, John Bull took the initiative to stand on the side of Dongda.

Dongda thought this guy was quite sensible.

In line with the idea of ​​uniting all forces that can be united, we extended an olive branch to John Bull's family and invited them to visit the Great Wall.

The John Bulls immediately agreed and sent a high-level team, led by Cabinet Secretary Sir Humphrey.

"Sir Humphrey?"

Li Aiguo always felt that this name was somewhat familiar, but he didn't think much about it.

This kind of major event concerning the overall direction is not something he can participate in.

All he needs to do is try his best to feed the rabbits more grass before the big changes come.

Because the tracks were transported by train, it would take another two days to reach the Qianmen Locomotive Depot, and our Li Aiguo also got two days of rest.

He first went to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot to cancel his leave, and then came to the station.

It was exactly 131: in the afternoon, and Train No. roared to a stop at the station.

Lao Zheng and Liu Qingquan were the first to come down. When they saw Li Aiguo, they both walked over excitedly.

"Aiguo, what good things did you come up with on this business trip?"

"Do you still have some sense of organization and discipline? Is this something we can find out about?"

Liu Qingquan stopped Lao Zheng and winked at Li Aiguo.

"Don't worry, I brought it for you." Li Aiguo took out two packs of Double Dog cigarettes from his canvas bag and gave one pack to each of them.

Liu Qingquan is an old smoker. His biggest hobby is collecting cigarettes from all over the world. He doesn’t want many, just one box is enough.

Liu Qingquan collected a lot by working on the train, but some places were too remote to be reached by train.

Every time Li Aiguo went on a business trip, he would bring back some local cigarettes.

"Oh my, this is the first time I've seen this."

As they were talking, Cao Wenzhi got off the car with the regular driver team.

"Aiguo, I'm back. You seem to have lost weight recently."

Li Aiguo pulled Cao Wenzhi to a secluded place and took out the things Cao Yuehua had prepared.

Looking at the pile of local specialties and then at the pair of red shoe insoles, Cao Wenzhi's eyes widened: "Aiguo, have you seen Yuehua?"

"seen."

"She, how is she doing now?" Cao Wenzhi became instantly excited and grabbed Li Aiguo's arm tightly.

Although Cao Yuehua would write to him every now and then, it was her usual practice to only report good news and not bad news. Cao Wenzhi was always worried about his daughter who was thousands of miles away.

"Master, don't worry. Sister Yuehua is doing well. Her brother-in-law treats her well and the children are doing well too." Li Aiguo did not explain Cao Yuehua's specific location and Cao Wenzhi did not ask.

After learning that his daughter was fine, Cao Wenzhi finally let go of the worry in his heart.

"Let's go, let's have dinner at home tonight. I'll ask your mistress to cook some dishes."

Li Aiguo had originally planned to go home directly, but now seeing that Cao Wenzhi still wanted to inquire about Cao Yuehua's situation, he nodded.

When the master's wife learned that Li Aiguo had met her daughter, she seemed very happy and cooked four dishes.

Li Aiguo and Cao Wenzhi chatted while eating, and revealed some specific information about Cao Yuehua without violating the confidentiality policy.

Although life in the First Machine Factory was good, it was located in a remote area and was far inferior to the capital.

After hearing this, Master's Wife wiped away her tears and said, "Ah, if I had known earlier, I should not have let Yuehua and his wife leave the capital."

Cao Wenzhi picked up his chopsticks and pointed at her: "You old woman, you have long hair but little knowledge. Your daughter and son-in-law are both contributing to the country. We as parents are so happy that we can't wait."

"Yes, yes, yes," the mistress quickly wiped away her tears, "I just feel a little sorry for Xiaoju, she is still so young."

Li Aiguo interjected: "If possible, you can ask Sister Yuehua to send Xiaoju to Beijing to study."

"That's a good idea." Cao Wenzhi nodded: "I'll ask Yuehua when I write to her in a few days."

It was around 7:30 in the evening when we finished dinner.

The sun sets later in the summer.

It was still daylight outside.

Li Aiguo said goodbye to Cao Wenzhi and rode his bicycle towards the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the gate of the compound, I heard someone shouting loudly.

"Jia Dongxu, how dare you not pay back the money you owe?"

"Brothers, let's remove Jia Dongxu's legs together today."

Li Aiguo stopped his bicycle immediately.

In the dim light, a group of young people who looked like bad guys were seen standing at the gate of the courtyard.

The leader was a wild and arrogant man in his twenties, wearing an old military uniform with several holes in it, a bayonet on his waist, and a ferocious face.

"Brothers, if you want to fight, just do it. Don't hurt innocent people."

Among those surrounded were Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao.

Xu Damao feels like he is shopping on Tesco Japan right now.

After get off work in the afternoon, he learned that Jia Dongxu was criticized by the factory for playing cards, so he deliberately waited for Jia Dongxu to come back, ready to vent his anger in person.

Before he could even open his mouth, a group of ferocious-looking monsters surrounded him.

"Brother Damao, you are my biological brother." Jia Dongxu's eyes turned and he grabbed Xu Damao's arm.

Xu Damao wanted to cry but had no tears: "Jia Dongxu, you bastard, let me go quickly."

Jia Dongxu held onto Xu Damao tightly and shouted to the young people, "Brother Damao is here. You little bastards, who dares to make a move?"

This hatred is very strong.

Those young men were like bulls seeing a red cloth. They didn't care about anything else and rushed up to beat the two men up.

"Fuck you, Jia Dongxu, you bastard!"

"You son of a bitch, if you dare to hit me, I will fight you to death."

Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu also started to fight back at this time, and the scene became a mess.

Li Aiguo was watching the fun when Xu Damao kicked the arrogant man, who took several steps back, left the BOSS area, and was put on the bicycle.

"Get out of the way." The crazy man's hatred immediately shifted to Li Aiguo.

Are we playing a BOSS team battle?
Li Aiguo was a little unhappy after pulling the monster, so he used his soothing skill: "Comrade, please speak properly."

"Stay away! Are you blind?" The arrogant man yelled with his eyes wide open when he saw that Li Aiguo was just a young man with bare hands.

Li Aiguo was helpless: "Dude, it was you who was careless, okay?"

"Who the hell is your buddy? Get lost, or I'll leave you with a few more holes in your body."

"Friend, let's talk nicely." Li Aiguo had just returned. He didn't want to cause trouble, but he was not afraid of trouble, and there was no way he would retreat.

Seeing that he spoke very well, the arrogant man said in a very arrogant way: "Do you know who my father is?"

"hehe"

Li Aiguo smiled, parked his bicycle aside, and looked up at the arrogant man: "You should ask your mother about this."

"what?"

"Haha, this kid is quite interesting." The arrogant man laughed instead of getting angry, looking Li Aiguo up and down, and said, "Okay, Zhongshan suit, four pockets, big leather shoes, which factory's leader are you?"

Li Aiguo smiled and asked, "Which group are you from?"

"You're quite arrogant, kid." The madman grinned, pulled out a bayonet from his waist and twirled it in his hand, saying, "Have you heard of Tie Si's Fifth Master? He's my godfather. Today is your bad luck. Take off your clothes and push your bike away!"

As he spoke, the man reached out to grab Li Aiguo by the collar.

Li Aiguo's eyes flashed, and the moment the man's fingertips touched his collar, he accurately grasped his pulse.

The man felt a huge force coming, the bayonet fell to the ground with a clang, and the whole person staggered and hit the brick wall behind him.

"You come to the courtyard to show off your power without thinking twice." Li Aiguo clapped his hands and said.

"Fuck you!" The arrogant guy was taught a lesson in front of so many brothers and almost vomited blood. He was extremely angry at this point.

"Brothers, let's stand shoulder to shoulder."

The young people who were originally surrounding Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao were instantly attracted over by the monster-luring move.

Li Aiguo took a look at his bicycle and decided to move away from it to avoid getting blood on it and wasting detergent.

It wouldn't have been a big deal if he retreated like this, but a few young people thought that Li Aiguo was scared, so they picked up steel pipes and bricks and ran towards him.

Li Aiguo picked up the steel wire rope from the handlebars of the bicycle and swept it out.

"Hey!"

The youngsters who were at the front didn't have time to dodge and were hit by the wire locks, crying for their parents in pain.

"Brother Aiguo, let me help you." Seeing that Li Aiguo's move was successful, Xu Damao also picked up the third uncle's broom and rushed over.

It’s a pity that a broom is used to sweep the floor, and it will only scratch the itch when used on people.

It was not without effect. Xu Damao instantly attracted two elite monsters and created an output environment for Li Aiguo.

Li Aiguo hadn't been active for a long time. When he saw a young man rushing over, he kicked him directly.

The young man flew backwards and knocked Jia Dongxu, who had already slipped into the gate, to the ground.

"Hurry, hurry, comrades, those people are just ahead." In the distance, the third uncle, Liu Zhenshan and several comrades from the police station finally arrived after hurrying.

Liu Zhenshan was a little confused when he saw the situation at the scene.

Why are all these hooligans lying on the ground?
"He's a patriotic comrade." Liu Zhenshan immediately understood when he saw Li Aiguo.

"Uncle Liu, I suspect these people are planning to sneak into our courtyard and carry out sabotage activities." Li Aiguo dusted off the dust on his body and spoke righteously.

Liu Zhenshan looked at the arrogant man and those thugs and fell into silence.

They are the only ones causing trouble?!

The arrogant man was startled and shouted at the top of his voice: "Leader, don't listen to this guy, we are here to collect debts."

The young man next to him was also terrified. He struggled and said, "My eldest brother is the Fourth Master's godson. Do you know the Fourth Master? He is a man who can shake the ground in the capital city with just one stomp of his foot."

When the public security comrades heard this, they fired two electric cannons at the young man, and his nose and face were immediately swollen.

Are you kidding? Does the capital allow such an awesome person to exist now?
Liu Zhenshan also noticed it now.

"Okay, so they are a bunch of hooligans, arrest them all."

There were only three comrades in the police station and there was a shortage of manpower, so the residents in the compound also came out to help.

Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, and the second aunt rushed over with hemp ropes.

When the young men saw that things were not going well, they planned to escape and pushed Aunt Zhang to the ground.

This time, I'm in real trouble.

"This bastard is so bold, beat him up!"

Yan Jieben was already very angry because someone came to his door and beat him up, so he bent down, picked up a broken brick and threw it at the man.

"boom!"

"Hey!"

A young man was hit by a brick, and a bump appeared on his forehead. He immediately howled miserably: "I have surrendered and am willing to be conquered. Don't do anything. Don't do anything."

Who would listen to him at this time? Someone took the lead, and the residents showed these little hooligans what people's war is.

Bricks, tiles, coal ash, mud, and all kinds of other things were thrown at the young people. Two comrades from the police station wanted to stop them at first, but Liu Zhenshan called them back.

As long as no one is killed, no one will make a big deal out of it.

In the blink of an eye, the gang was beaten black and blue, and the residents stopped this time.

"How dare these guys come to our courtyard to cause trouble? Don't they know Aiguo is the captain of the patrol team?"

"I heard Jie Cheng say that patriotism can defeat ten enemies at once."

"But something is wrong with what happened today. Normally, these hooligans wouldn't come to the compound to cause trouble."

Liu Haizhong pulled back Liu Guangtian, who was squirting at the man, and raised his doubts from the perspective of the overall situation.

"It's unfair. I really am here to collect debts. I have an IOU in my pocket. You can take a look if you don't believe me." The arrogant man's face was full of the smell of urine. He no longer cared about losing face and cried like a baby.

Why does he feel that the people in this compound are even more rogue than these hooligans?

"Wait a minute." Liu Zhenshan stopped several residents who were about to take action, took out the IOU, glanced at it, and immediately frowned, "Jia Dongxu owes forty-five yuan."

"Hiss, why does Jia Dongxu owe so much money?"

"Must be playing cards again."

"This guy is a hopeless case."

All the residents turned their heads to look at Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu had just gotten up from the ground and was about to slip away when he was stunned again.

Damn, even if I can’t leave, right?
After the arrogant man took out the IOU, he became more aggressive.

"Leader, we are here to collect debts. We are not scoundrels. Please let us go so as not to cause you any trouble."

It is customary for the police station not to get involved in economic disputes.

Besides, Siheyuan had given the other party a bad beating this time, so the two sides were even.

Liu Zhenshan hesitated for a moment and glanced at Li Aiguo.

Li Aiguo patted Chen Xueru who came to check on him and said with a smile: "There are ways to collect debts. How can you do it like this? You hit and smash with sticks. People who don't know would think you are Huang Shiren."

Even in the future, those small loan sharks have to behave themselves, let alone you bunch of scoundrels.

Xu Damao covered his cheek and nodded: "Yes, you see I've been beaten like this."

"Leader, this is all a misunderstanding. We really are here to collect debts." The arrogant man was a little anxious now and wanted to explain.

A GAZ jeep came roaring from a distance and stopped in front of the gate of the compound.

Zhou Ke got off the train with two comrades from the railway police station. Seeing the situation at the scene, they were somewhat puzzled: "Aiguo, what happened?"

"It's okay." Li Aiguo handed Zhou Ke a cigarette and asked, "I was planning to go to your house tonight, why are you here?"

"The ministry just notified us that the Beijing Metro will hold a groundbreaking ceremony in three days. The leaders above will attend in person. You must be prepared."

Now the construction of the Beijing subway is of top priority, and Zhou Ke and a group of outstanding railway police officers have also been transferred there to be responsible for security and vigilance work.

"The subway is about to start construction?" Li Aiguo really forgot about it and nodded to indicate that he had noted it down.

Chen Xueru greeted Zhou Ke and invited him to stay at her house for dinner in the evening.

"No need, sister-in-law. I have to go back to the headquarters to report." Zhou Ke glanced at the hooligans and lit up with his cigarette butt: "Do you want me to take care of them all?"

Li Aiguo waved his hand: "Forget it, this is a local matter."

"They got a good deal this time." Zhou Ke greeted Liu Zhenshan again, then saluted Li Aiguo: "Goodbye, Deputy Commander-in-Chief!"

"Goodbye."

The GAZ jeep roared away, and the arrogant man was stunned: "Who is Li Aiguo?"

"Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Beijing Metro Command." Liu Zhenshan grabbed him and slapped him on the face a few times: "You are in big trouble."

Hearing this name, the man's calves went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

Afterwards, the young people were taken to the police station.

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, Jia Dongxu, Qin Huairu, Xu Damao and Li Aiguo also followed.

"Interrogate them first and find out what's going on." Liu Zhenshan said this and prepared to let the public security comrades take the few people into the interrogation room.

At this time, Captain Zhang received the news and rushed over with a dozen men in gray Zhongshan suits.

"Aiguo, what's up? Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just stretched my arms and legs." Li Aiguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was on missions all year round and had seen all kinds of dangerous scenes. How come he had turned into a giant panda now?

"Don't be careless, Aiguo." Captain Zhang pulled Li Aiguo to a secluded place and lowered his voice: "We just received news from Xiaomei's family and the island. Langley is implementing the Iron Wall Plan, and you are the main target."

Just as the other party made a plan, a fight broke out here. Li Aiguo finally understood why the weather station was worried.

"Comrade, which unit are you from?"

The group of men in grey Zhongshan suits brought by Captain Zhang all looked ferocious and spoke in a frightening tone. Liu Zhenshan was also startled and walked forward.

Captain Zhang waved his ID at him and said in a deep voice, "From now on, we will interrogate these people, and your police station will be responsible for cooperating with us."

When Liu Zhenshan saw the ID, his expression froze and he saluted quickly.

Seeing this, the arrogant man's eyes widened again.

What’s the matter? Being a deputy commander-in-chief isn’t impressive enough. Does this guy have other background?

This time I'm really unlucky.

"Damn you Jia Dongxu, if you had honestly paid back your debt, would I have needed to block your door? If I hadn't blocked your door, I wouldn't have offended Li Aiguo. The culprit is you - Jia Dongxu!"

The arrogant man was so angry that his teeth were chattering when he thought of Jia Dongxu.

Captain Zhang’s interrogation skills have been maxed out.

It took less than a moment to figure out the whole story.

These people were indeed here to collect gambling debts and had been chasing Jia Dongxu for several days, but Jia Dongxu had been stalling for time.

These people were very angry, but they also knew that Jia Dongxu was the apprentice of the eighth-level master, so they planned to let the eighth-level master pay the money.

After get off work, he waited at the gate of the courtyard. He originally planned to negotiate with Yi Zhonghai after taking down Jia Dongxu.

As a result, he met the unlucky Xu Damao, which delayed him a bit. Then he met Li Aiguo again, and finally he was completely caught.

"Master, I was framed. They tampered with the cards when they were playing."

When Jia Dongxu heard the result, his heart trembled violently and he hurriedly explained.

"Snapped!"

Yi Zhonghai was almost fainted from anger. He swung his arms and slapped Jia Dongxu: "Jia Dongxu, you disappoint me so much!"

Yi Zhonghai could tolerate Jia Dongxu's dishonest work, but he could not tolerate his gambling.

No matter how much money you have, it will all be squandered.

Jia Dongxu couldn't stand this humiliation and immediately shouted to cut off all ties with Yi Zhonghai.

Qin Huairu pulled him back: "Dongxu, stop making trouble, let's go home first, okay?"

It was not so easy for Jia Dongxu to go home. He first wrote a letter of apology, and then promised Liu Zhenshan that he would no longer play cards. Only then was he taken back by Qin Huairu.

Xu Damao and several residents also went back. Xu Damao cursed as he walked: "Jia Dongxu, you bastard, I will remember this incident."

Jia Dongxu wanted to argue with Xu Damao, but was pulled back home by Qin Huairu.

After entering the house, Jia Dongxu stiffened his neck and said angrily: "Qin Huairu, as soon as Li Aiguo came back, you turned your elbow outward. Whose wife are you anyway?!"

"Jia Dongxu, you..." Qin Huairu thought she was doing it for the good of the family, but instead she was blamed and felt very aggrieved.

****
Li Aiguo and Captain Zhang checked the confessions of those young people together. After confirming that there were no doubts, they handed them over to the street police station for handling.

"Aiguo, how about we send you a few people?" After leaving the police station, Captain Zhang opened the door of the jeep and suddenly made a suggestion.

Li Aiguo pondered for a moment and shook his head: "No need, you know my personality, I am used to being free and undisciplined."

"Then you better be careful." Captain Zhang also knew Li Aiguo's skills, so he drove away in the GAZ jeep.

Li Aiguo brought Chen Xueru back home and found that Xiao Hongsheng and Xiao Minghui were not at home.

"Wife, where are the children?"

"To the tailor's."

Li Aiguo raised his head and saw that Chen Xueru had changed into yoga clothes at some point and was staring at him with rippling eyes.

A long separation is better than a new marriage. Li Aiguo walked over, picked up Chen Xueru and threw her on the bed.

The night was quiet.

Li Aiguo was very happy, but Yi Zhonghai felt a little surprised at this time.

"Old lady, I think we should find someone to take care of the old age."

Yi Zhonghai took a sip of tea and sighed deeply.

"In the past, a cousin of the deaf old lady was a big fur merchant in the capital. Because he loved playing cards, he ended up with his family ruined."

The aunt also knew this and was about to nod in agreement.

The door was pushed open from the outside.

puff

Jia Dongxu walked in and knelt down on the ground.

He held up a blood-written letter and shouted at Yi Zhonghai: "Master, I, Jia Dongxu, swear a blood oath here. If I play cards again in the future, I will be the son of a bastard."

Looking at the shocking bloodstains on the blood letter and then at Jia Dongxu's bandaged fingers, Yi Zhonghai's hard heart was touched.

The dim light shone on Jia Dongxu's face.

The expression is so sincere!

The look in his eyes is so regretful!

Yi Zhonghai stood up and helped Jia Dongxu up.

"A prodigal son who returns is more valuable than gold. What a good disciple!"

"Master!"

The two hugged each other tightly.

Time freezes at this moment and the scene is particularly touching.

If it were put in a movie, the ups and downs would have to be done in slow motion, with some touching melody.

The aunt couldn't help wiping away her tears.

Qin Huairu also sobbed twice.

After half an hour.

Jia Dongxu returned home carrying a bag.

He threw the bag on the table and said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "I only got two kilograms of refined white flour. What a waste of effort."

After saying that, he tore off the gauze on his fingers and threw it on the ground.

"What are you doing? If Yi Zhonghai doesn't see the gauze tomorrow, he will get suspicious."

Qin Huairu walked over, picked it up, and wrapped it around Jia Dongxu's hand again.

"Dongxu, I know you've been wronged, but now is not the time to quarrel with Yi Zhonghai. Let's hold on a little longer."

"Hey, let me give you some face." Jia Dongxu sat down on the bed and soon began to snore.

Under the dim light, Qin Huairu stared at the darkness outside the window and sat there for a long time.

In order to get this little bit of refined white flour, she had to give Jia Dongxu some advice.

Li Aiguo actually became the deputy commander-in-chief of the Beijing Metro.

If she hadn't changed her mind, she would definitely be the deputy commander-in-chief's wife now.

How majestic!
How glorious!
Qin Huairu knew that she regretted it again.
