The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 937: Brush, Meng Binhong, which excavator driving school is the best, the storm is coming
Back to Factory 219.

Considering that he reeked of alcohol, Li Aiguo first went back to the guesthouse, took a shower in the bathroom and changed into clean clothes.

When I came out, Zhou Ke was already waiting outside the guesthouse, pushing a 28-inch bicycle.

"Where did it come from?"

"Considering that we might need to go shopping in Jinling City, Chief He of the Security Department specially applied for a bus for us."

Zhou Ke was quite proud. He parked the bicycle in front of Li Aiguo, patted the seat and said, "This is a Forever 28-inch bicycle. It is said to be used for transporting goods in logistics. It also has a load-bearing bar installed."

Bus Well, these days bicycles can indeed be called buses.

"boarding."

"Hey," Zhou Ke agreed, and sat on the back seat of the bicycle with his face facing backwards as usual.

In the past, when Li Aiguo was riding Zhou Ke, he would subconsciously reach forward when he encountered a pothole, and Li Aiguo kicked him off the bicycle.

From then on, this habit was formed.

This bike may not look fancy, but it's really nice to ride.

With his long legs, Li Aiguo easily turned the bicycle into a hot wheel.

The test site is not far from the guesthouse, only three to five minutes’ drive away.

As they arrived at the gate of the site, some railway soldiers and technicians who were undergoing training were being inspected. When they saw the two people coming, they greeted them at the same time.

"Hello, Counselor Li."

"Squad leader, who is this? Why did he come in on a bicycle and not accept inspection?"

As soon as he approached the gate, there was an endless stream of people greeting Li Aiguo along the way. Zhou Ke obviously knew why everyone was so enthusiastic.

Although the news of the chief taking in a disciple was not deliberately publicized, it still spread throughout Factory 219.

This is the leader’s last disciple.

"Advisor Li is back."

The last person to say hello was Section Chief He, who was leading the inspection team personally today. When he saw Li Aiguo and Zhou Ke coming over, he ran over quickly.

Li Aiguo greeted him with a smile: "Captain Seven and Engineer Chen have come up with something. Let's talk about it later. By the way, do you have anything to do these two days?"

Li Aiguo was just asking casually out of professional habit, but Section Chief He was slightly stunned. He thought carefully for a moment and replied, "It's nothing. It's just that an engineer in the factory went to the back mountain today and got a bamboo stick out. He said he wanted to make a brush handle."

Li Aiguo's feet drooped on the ground, holding the handle of the bicycle and asked, "Where are the people?"

When Section Chief He heard this, he knew that Li Aiguo took this matter very seriously, so he stopped smiling and pointed to the guardhouse next to him: "Is he questioning you?"

Li Aiguo raised his wrist to check the time. There were still more than ten minutes before the agreed time. He handed the bicycle to Zhou Ke and said, "Go over there and wait for me."

"Okay." Zhou Ke responded and rode his bicycle into the test site.

This bike is so easy to ride. I finally got the driving rights back.

Li Aiguo followed Section Chief He into the guard room.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a middle-aged man wearing tortoise-shell-framed glasses and a gray Zhongshan suit.

Li Aiguo recognized him at a glance. The middle-aged man was the one who was about to greet him in the cafeteria a few days ago.

The middle-aged man was now answering questions from the security officer.

"Section Chief, Consultant Li."

The security officer in charge of the inquiry stood up and was about to greet Li Aiguo and Section Chief He when they came in.

Li Aiguo waved his hand, signaling them to continue, and he pulled a chair and sat next to the desk.

At this point, we have entered the stage of verifying the confession.

Simply put, it means shuffling the questions and asking them again quickly.

This was the method Li Aiguo used in the black fish case in Qindao. After returning to the capital, he sorted out and simplified the plan and handed it to the meteorological station.

A study at the weather station found that this thing is quite useful.

It has now become the most common method used during interrogations by most security departments across the country.

This method is simple and effective.

Many guys who were guilty of something they did were caught in the confession verification stage before the security department could continue the investigation, saving a lot of manpower and resources.

However, the middle-aged man was able to answer questions fluently and seemed to have no problems. Li Aiguo turned his head and took a look at the transcript on the table.

Section Chief He understood what he meant and handed it over.

The transcript shows that the tall and thin man is named Meng Binhong, an eighth-level engineer in the technical department of Factory 219.

Li Aiguo looked at the thing on the table. It was just a bamboo with a slightly purple color. This thing was rare in the area and only grew on the hill next to the experimental site.

On the table were a few strands of animal hair and some silk threads, and in addition to these materials, there was also a complete brush next to it.

The brush is made of purple bamboo, the tip of the brush is layered, the hairs are loosely arranged, the shape is round, and the workmanship is very delicate.

"Engineer Meng, did you do this?"

Seeing that the confession review phase was over, Li Aiguo asked with a smile.

Meng Binhong also recognized Li Aiguo and replied, "I don't have many hobbies. I have no children and I am alone. I just like calligraphy. Consultant Li, although my calligraphy is not as good as those of the masters, it is still acceptable. If I have the chance, I will definitely give you a copy."

Nowadays, many intellectuals have the habit of writing calligraphy, which can cultivate their sentiments, and no one can find fault with this.

"That's great. Your craftsmanship is pretty good. I also like calligraphy. You can make one for me sometimes."

"Hey, Consultant Li also likes calligraphy? If there is a chance, we can exchange ideas and make friends through literature."

"It's settled then." Li Aiguo said and turned to look at Section Chief He.

Section Chief He nodded and said, "Meng Gong, there is nothing else to do. You can go back first. Don't bring anything in or out of the test site anymore."

"Of course, of course, I accept your criticism and will correct it in the future." Meng Binhong seemed very humble. After bowing to several people, he stood up and walked out.

After taking two steps, he stopped again and pointed at the things on the table: "These."

"Well, this is a good thing, don't lose it." Li Aiguo smiled, picked up the materials and brush and handed it over.

Meng Binhong took the things and bowed to Li Aiguo again, then turned around and walked out the door towards the technical department.

Meng Binhong's steps were very steady, and the distance of each step was almost the same. Even when he met a colleague and said hello, he did not disrupt this rhythm.

Section Chief He saw Li Aiguo staring at Meng Binhong's back and couldn't help asking, "Comrade Aiguo, is there something wrong with this guy?"

"It's hard to say yet. First pull out his file, and I'll come over to check it out at noon."

"do not worry."

Although Li Aiguo did not reveal his identity as a meteorological station official, he is now a commissioner from the capital and the chief's apprentice.

These two identities are not just about using power to overwhelm people, but more about being trustworthy.

An engineer's file was nothing, so Section Chief He agreed without thinking.

When Li Aiguo arrived at the testing site, Captain Chen of the engineering company was already waiting there with a dozen technical backbones.

Zhou Ke, Chen Gong and Liu Hong from the technical department began to teach the students.

"Advisor Li, look, this is the maintenance method we worked out with the technical department."

Captain Chen first handed over a cigarette, and then handed over a piece of information.

Li Aiguo took the cigarette, lit it, and picked up the document to look at it carefully.

"Manually clean the vehicle body and chassis, and use simple tools to remove dirt and foreign matter from tracks, road wheels and other parts to avoid wear and tear of parts caused by hard objects remaining."

"After each use, a 1-2 hour basic inspection is mandatory, including oil status, tightness of mechanical fasteners, etc., following the principle of "vehicle first, people later" to ensure equipment availability"

"In spring and autumn, we carry out "seasonal maintenance", replacing all the vehicle fluids (such as engine oil, gear oil, coolant), and thoroughly cleaning and lubricating the motion system."

"In winter, we should strengthen the heat preservation measures for batteries, clean the electrode oxides and add distilled water to prevent the low temperature from causing insufficient voltage."

“Regularly organize group inspections (such as “yard day”), complete complex projects through team collaboration and receive inspections and evaluations”

The maintenance methods are very detailed, but most of them are based on the tank's maintenance plan and lack specificity.

Li Aiguo nodded and said, "Very good, but there are still some small parts that need to be revised."

Captain Chen took out a notebook and a pen and pretended to take notes.

Li Aiguo went on to say: "The trench excavator needs to check the hydraulic oil, engine oil, cooling water and other fluid levels every day to ensure that they are within the normal range. If they are insufficient, they should be replenished or replaced in time."

"You really overlooked this point." Captain Chen's eyes lit up.

“Regularly add grease to all lubrication points (such as pins and slewing gear rings). After wading through water, the grease in the wet parts needs to be replaced to prevent lubrication failure.”

"Check track tension and tire wear weekly and adjust or replace them in time; mountain operations require the use of reinforced devices and increased inspection frequency"

Afterwards, Li Aiguo made modifications based on the maintenance manual provided in the system and the actual situation of that year.

Captain Chen and those technical backbones were amazed when they heard this.

"This is really thoughtful, especially the ability to check track tension. It can be lent to tank soldiers."

"Yeah, I didn't expect butter to be so important."

After Captain Chen wrote all of this down, he nodded heavily and said, "Advisor Li, when I get back, I will formulate a new maintenance system based on your opinions. Thank you so much."

"You're welcome." Li Aiguo stood up and glanced at the soldiers who were training driving skills not far away, and asked, "What arrangements have you made for driver training?"

Captain Chen scratched his head and smiled, "The training method was mainly proposed by a soldier in our company."

As he spoke, Captain Chen waved his hand in the distance: "Second squad leader, come here!"

The squad leader who was giving the soldiers a theoretical explanation stood up and ran over, saluted the company commander and Li Aiguo with his feet together.

"At ease!" Captain Chen said to the second squad leader, "Tell Advisor Li about the thing you have tinkered with."

"Yes!" The second squad leader wiped the sweat from his forehead, straightened his chest, and said loudly:
"First, we teach the soldiers the core knowledge of trench diggers, including the crankshaft connecting rod mechanism, valve train, fuel system, lubrication system, cooling system and starting system."

“Then you have to familiarize yourself with the functions of each control handle and button.”

“Only then can we conduct empty aircraft operation training.”

Li Aiguo was a little stunned. Compared with the previous folk methods, these steps seemed quite professional, and even had the shadow of excavator teaching in later generations.

Seeing Li Aiguo was puzzled, Captain Chen asked proudly, "Second squad leader, please introduce yourself to Consultant Li."

"Reporting to Consultant Li, my father was a driving school instructor before liberation!" The second squad leader answered loudly.

There were already driving schools before liberation? Li Aiguo thought about it and understood.

He remembered hearing Lou Xiao'e say that Lou Bancheng had passed the driving test in Guangzhou before, but was considered driving without a license in Beijing and was fined ten yuan.

He was supposed to be detained for a while, but was released only after finding connections.

Later, in order to avoid trouble, Lou Bancheng went to a driving school and spent fifty yuan to learn driving skills.

"This plan is very well done. What's your name?" Li Aiguo was very interested in this kind of professional talent.

"Report to Consultant Li, Lan Xiang."

Lan Xiang As expected, people with the surname Lan are suitable for opening a driving school.

With Lan Xiang around, Li Aiguo no longer has to worry about teaching how to drive the trench excavator.

There was not much work to do at this time, so Li Aiguo squatted in the shade and chatted with Lan Xiang.

Before liberation, the driving test was already very strict, including a written test and a practical test.

The written test includes three parts: traffic rules, geographical knowledge, and mechanical knowledge. The full score for traffic rules is 10 points, the full score for geographical knowledge is 10 points, and the full score for mechanical knowledge is 20 points. This is much more difficult than the subjects in later generations.

The field test consists of two parts: pole test and road test. The full score of the pole test is 30 points, and the full score of the road test is also 30 points.

The pole test should be subject two, and the road test should be subject three.

The total of the two is 100 points, and a total score of 70 points is considered passing, which is a bit lenient.

But there is the most annoying thing.

Driving licenses are not valid across regions or even cities.

For example, a driver's license obtained in Guangzhou would be a fake one when used in Beijing. This is also the reason why Lou Bancheng was fined even though he had a driver's license.

In that era, only big shots could get a driver’s license, so being a driving school instructor was considered a golden rice bowl.

Lan Xiang comes from a family of driving school coaches. His grandfather worked at Nanyang Driving School and his father worked at Guanghua Driving School in Shanghai.

As a third-generation driver, Lan Xiang should have inherited his family business and become a driving school instructor.

However, as the Japanese devils acted recklessly, aspiring young people took up guns one after another. Lan Yang declined his father's request to arrange a job for him, and picked up a shovel to become an engineer.

"Once we have defeated all the enemies, I will retire from the engineering company and return to the local area to be a driving school instructor."

"but."

As he spoke, Lan Xiang looked up at the trench excavator, his eyes sparkling with brilliance: "Ever since I saw this thing, I feel that small cars are too boring. In the future, I want to teach you how to drive such a large excavator."

Li Aiguo naturally supported Lan Xiang's decision.

"Don't worry, by the time you retire, excavators will probably be widely used in our country. Then you can open an excavator school."

There are only a few hundred excavators in China now, and it is still a long way to go before they become popular.

Lan Xiang thought Li Aiguo was joking, and said with a smile: "If there comes a day like that, I will name my school Lan Xiang Excavator School."

"Then let me think of a slogan for you." Li Aiguo touched his chin, thought for a moment and said, "If you want to learn which excavator is the best, please go to Zhongshan to find Lanxiang."

“.”Lan Xiang always felt that this slogan was too rustic, but he didn’t dare to say it out loud.

He could not have imagined at that time that more than ten years later, this slogan would actually become popular all over the country.

Far away.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhou Ke, the lunch eater, picked up two aluminum lunch boxes and hurried to the cafeteria.

Li Aiguo first turned to the Security Department. Section Chief He had already prepared the file and handed it to him directly when he came in.

Meng Binhong, 32 years old this year, was originally from Jinling. He moved to Changchun with his father when he was young. He graduated from Changchun Institute of Technology and worked as a technician in a Japanese factory in Changchun before liberation.

After liberation, he became a mechanical engineer in a state-owned factory.

When Factory 219 was built, a large number of technicians were transferred from the Northeast. Meng Binhong took the initiative to sign up and came to Jinling four years ago.

Although he is not a member of the organization, he performs well on weekdays and often works overtime.

Currently, Meng Binhong lives in a large courtyard next to Jinling Wende Bridge.

The entire file record is very clean and there is no doubt about it.

Li Aiguo returned the file and asked, "As an engineer at Factory 219, why does Meng Binhong live outside?"

"Ah? There is no record of this in the files, but I have checked it." Section Chief He was stunned for a moment and replied: "According to regulations, local employees and technicians are allowed to choose their own residence. It is just a coincidence that Meng Binhong took over his old house after returning to Jinling."

Hearing this, Li Aiguo narrowed his eyes and said, "Lao He, did you investigate Meng Binhong just now?"

"Yes, there are some things that are not recorded in the files. Of course I have to investigate."

Section Chief He had never taken Meng Binhong seriously. Seeing Li Aiguo's cautious attitude, he paused halfway through his words and asked, "Advisor Li, is there something wrong with this guy?"

"It's hard to say right now." Li Aiguo waved his hand: "From today on, don't investigate Meng Binhong directly and don't alarm him. By the way, we have to send someone to check his old house. You can't come forward, so let the comrades from the street office contact him."

"Yes!" Section Chief He nodded.

Li Aiguo turned around and was about to leave with his aluminum lunch box, but he stopped and looked at Section Chief He: "Old He, you are a native of Jinling, do you know any local calligraphers?"

"Yes, I know him. I'll introduce him to you someday."

After sending Li Aiguo out of the security department, Section Chief He looked at Zhou Ke in confusion and asked, "Comrade Zhou, does your consultant Li really like calligraphy?"

Zhou Ke was thinking about why Li Aiguo was staring at Meng Binhong so closely, and was suddenly interrupted. He was a little unhappy and said in a not very friendly tone: "Bullshit, Consultant Li is so busy that he can't even take care of his family. He just likes to read books and paint on black fans on weekdays. Where does he have the time to practice calligraphy?"

Section Chief He was puzzled: "What about just now..."

Zhou Ke looked at Section Chief He. It was obvious that this old security guard was just a security guard. He didn't know the working style of the people in the weather station. These people kept their mouths shut.

"Lao He, we are friends. I advise you not to ask about things that you shouldn't ask about."

Strictly speaking, this reminder was a violation of discipline, but Zhou Ke really regarded Section Chief He as a friend.

Section Chief He also knew Zhou Ke well. He had a good heart, but his mouth was a bit poisonous. When he heard this, he nodded repeatedly: "Comrade Zhou, don't worry."

Although Section Chief He did not understand Li Aiguo's intention, he still contacted a professor at Jinling University during lunch time.

The other party was already a great calligrapher before liberation.

Upon learning that the Security Department of Factory 219 was asking for help, the calligrapher agreed immediately.

"I don't have classes tomorrow. I'll be waiting for you in the office."

"We have an agreement."

Section Chief He put down the phone and breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

For some reason, he always felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in Factory 219 recently.

"How is this possible? There has never been a leak in Factory 219 over the years, and there has never been a Dieter. There is absolutely no way anything could go wrong!"

At this time, Li Aiguo had already brought Zhou Ke to the cafeteria.

"Advisor Li, I specially prepared a special meal for you today. Noodles with soybean paste. Do you like it?"

As soon as I entered the door, the fat cook standing behind the window shouted at the top of his voice.

"Thanks, Master Niu."

"What are you writing? We are all from the same hometown." Master Niu shouted to the helper next to him: "Xiao Lin, quickly bring these two bowls of noodles with soybean paste over."

The worker was probably in his thirties, but he was very thin and about the size of a teenager.

At that time, he was carrying a rice spoon that was too big for his body to serve rice to the workers. When he heard Master Niu's words, he was about to put down the rice spoon.

"Oh, no need, we can do it ourselves."

Li Aiguo walked quickly forward and took the noodles with soybean paste from the helper.

The fried noodles with soybean paste taste very good. The noodles are chewy, the sauce is rich and mellow, the cucumber strips are fresh and crisp, and especially the diced meat is added, which makes the taste fragrant.

Zhou Ke ate the food and praised it again and again: "Brother Aiguo, I seem to have tasted the flavor of my mother again."

Li Aiguo rolled his eyes: "Zhou Ke, your last name is Zhou, not Niu."

"Ah?" Zhou Ke was confused.

The fat cook finished his work and came out: "My last name is Niu, my last name is Niu!"

Li Aiguo: "."

At the end of working hours, the bell of Factory 219 rang.

The technicians from the Technical Department packed the unfinished materials into confidential boxes and left the office one after another.

Qian Gong looked at Meng Binhong who was sitting opposite him and was still writing furiously, and said jokingly: "Meng, what's up? Are you preparing actively again today?"

Meng Binhong said helplessly: "There is no way. There are some problems with the data of the floating bridge. The workshop is still waiting, so we have to rush it out."

"You only know how to work. No wonder you still don't have a wife after all these years. How about I introduce you to someone? There's a new female worker in the parts workshop. She's only in her twenties and very pretty."

"Old Qian, you know, I'm only thinking about work now, not personal issues."

".You're not that one, are you?" Mr. Qian blinked.

Meng Binhong raised his head and frowned: "Which one?"

Qian Gong looked outside and saw that there was no one else, so he said in a frivolous way: "It's the Rabbit Lord, a man with a man, the kind that doesn't like women."

"Get lost! Your whole family is the Rabbit God!"

Meng Binhong pretended to be angry, turned around and left the office, and went into the bathroom at the end of the corridor.

This old Qian's nickname is Lao Jian. He is a particularly mean person. He likes to tell dirty jokes to both men and women. He is not very popular in the office.

If Lao Qian wasn't part of the plan, Meng Binhong wouldn't bother to make friends with him.

After entering the bathroom, Meng Binhong just squatted down when three long and one short knocking sounds were heard from behind.

"You are looking for me so anxiously, is there something wrong?"

"Long story short, I may have been exposed."

"impossible?"

"The security department came to the department today to investigate my situation."

"The security department investigates people all the time, don't worry."

"No, this time it was Section Chief He who came in person. It was said that Li Aiguo asked about it."

"Li Aiguo? Master Xu's last disciple?"

"You know about this, too, Old Gun. Do you think I wouldn't be scared?"

"Don't worry, St. Peter has arranged everything. The Observatory has already succeeded. As long as those guys take the blame, our people will be safe.

As long as you can get the technical data of the trench digger, we can rely on these two things to have a good future and evacuate early."

“It’s easier said than done. The technical department selects advanced personnel to maintain the excavators, and I was excluded. I have no access to the information at all.

Now all the information is locked in Section Chief Liu Hong’s safe.

Last time I suggested that you launch a money and beauty offensive against Liu Hong, why didn't you adopt it?"

"Liu Hong doesn't like money. I sent people to contact him, but nothing happened. As for Butterfly, Saint Peter has assigned her another job. Let's talk about her later."

"You guys are using butterflies again?"

"I know you're attracted to butterflies, don't worry, they won't break."

".Forget it, if that doesn't work, just kill Liu Hong and steal the key to open the safe."

"It's too risky. The investigation team is keeping a close eye on us now, and we might be exposed. You still have to find a way to get started from within the technical department."

"I know. But it's too uncomfortable to be stared at. I will try the security department first. Chief He is a fool, so it should be easy to succeed."

"Don't mess around, Hound. You must listen to our instructions. We can protect you."

"That's enough! I've risked my life for you so many times over the years. I've already repaid all the favors I've received. If I'm really being targeted, I'll withdraw from this operation!"

After saying that, Meng Binhong didn't wait for the other party to answer, pulled up his pants, walked out of the bathroom, and returned to the office.

When Qian Gong saw him coming back, he smiled and said, "So long? You don't really have that kind of hobby, do you? Hiding in the toilet and spying on gay men?"

"Get out!" Meng Binhong clenched his fists secretly.

A moment later, a thin little man hummed a little tune and left the toilet and merged into the crowd outside.
