Chapter 335 Is this just a token of my appreciation?

People in many places are poor and backward and have little knowledge. Some even cannot survive and dare to eat each other. It is not surprising that they would have some ideas on the railway tracks.

Of course, this is still a guess in the best direction.

As for the bad ones...

During the war, was it not uncommon to blow up trains and railway tracks?
Pei Yanning came back so soon because he was worried about the latter point.

He has offended many people in the past few months. Although there was a major investigation before the New Year, it is hard to say whether there are any fish that have escaped the net and will retaliate. Although he is confident that no one can do anything to his family, he will feel more at ease when he comes back to stay with Lingxi and the others.

But Pei Yaning, Uncle Pei and Gu Si knew all this, but they didn't say it out loud to make Lingxi worry.

Lingxi counted the time on her fingers.

The train stopped once when they were going to Kyoto. It was because of heavy snowing that the rails were frozen at the turn, so they had to get off the train to thaw. Later, the train slowed down and there were no accidents. It just delayed them for nearly a whole day on the road.

This time the rails were directly pried away. It goes without saying that we won't be able to move forward for a while.

But it’s not a big problem.

They didn't bring back much food, but it was more than enough to last for ten days or half a month.

Besides, they have storage bags and she has a companion space, so they will definitely not be thirsty or hungry.

As for the other people on the train...

It is estimated that by the time the labor and materials are transported to repair the railway, some relief food may be sent over. Combined with the food originally equipped on the train and what everyone brings from home, it is estimated that no one will starve to death.

After figuring this out, Lingxi looked completely relaxed.

In this kind of situation, no matter how anxious she is, it is impossible to repair the railway tracks immediately.

Whether you are in a hurry or not, life will go on the same way.

She calmly called Gu Si to light the small stove again and cook the porridge that had been casually put aside. It was already time for dinner, but they hadn't eaten yet!
A little later, the train conductor came over again in person. It was a very cold day and he was sweating with anxiety. When he saw Pei Yanning, he bent down to shake hands with him and was very nice.

"Comrade Pei Yanning, I am being disrespectful, really disrespectful.

When something happened here, I wanted to come over to report it, but I couldn't leave."

Pei Yanning's rank was high enough. Not long after the last disaster relief incident, he was promoted to a higher rank. At this time, the train conductor could not be too polite.

Pei Yanning asked someone to sit down and poured him a cup of water that was just warm enough to drink.

“Drink first, and drink slowly.

Everyone on the train is a passenger, and I am no exception.

Now I'm under your control, so don't feel any pressure.

You just take care of your own things and take good care of other passengers. I will do my best not to cause you any trouble.

The train had such a big accident, but the responsibility is not yours. If you can coordinate and arrange it well, it will be a credit to you. Do a good job. "

Pei Yanning paused and turned to look at Lingxi.

"Give me two hundred dollars."

Lingxi didn't understand what Pei Yanning wanted to do, but she nodded, stood up and took out two hundred yuan.

Pei Yanning took it and handed it to the conductor: "Originally, I saw that the charcoal was not enough, and I was thinking of getting some branches to roast, but now that you are here, there is no need.

I'll use this money to buy two baskets of coal from you."

The conductor turned pale with fright.

"Pei, Deputy Pei, Deputy Minister, please tell me what you want. I can't take your money!"

Even if their train was short of carbon, they would have enough to fuel the furnace.

And what is so valuable about carbon? How much is a basket of coal worth?
He came up with twenty big black tens, which was like asking for his life!

Pei Yanning smiled and comforted him, "This money is not for you, but for the thousands of passengers on our train. It's not easy for you either. Exchange this money for food and arrange for people to distribute it to those in need at the appropriate time.

Don't get hungry and cause any trouble, nothing is more important than human life."

It is not uncommon for some people to take a train and plan to starve all the way home. Originally, the journey would last for one day and two nights, so it would not be a big deal to starve a little. But now they are forced to stop here and cannot leave. Such people might starve to death.

They are extremely hungry and the risk of chaos is also great.

But the supplies on the train do not belong to the conductor alone. Even if he wants to distribute them for free, he may not have the courage to take responsibility afterwards.

When the conductor heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

"On behalf of the 2,764 passengers on board, thank you."

He bowed deeply to Pei Yanning.

It's not impossible for him to urgently take out the food and distribute it, but the food is public property, belonging to the Railway Bureau, not just his. It's a problem whether to give it to someone or not. But after Pei Yanning changed hands, it became funded by someone, which is a different matter.

Pei Yanning helped the man up and gave some 'kind' advice.

"I think things are valuable because they are scarce. It's okay for carbon to be a little more expensive at this time."

Pei Yanning is really a cold-hearted, cold-blooded, cold-hearted person. If it weren't for his silly character, he would never have paid the two hundred dollars.

I don't feel bad about the two hundred bucks, I just feel like I've spent so much on this selfless act of devotion and contribution that I've come to love the people, and it hurts every time.

Therefore, let’s love each other together!
When the conductor heard this, he thought to himself who would be so stupid as to spend a hundred yuan to buy a basket of charcoal. But as soon as he went out, he was stopped by two cadres of the same high level, who asked for charcoal and hot water. He was just about to explain the difficulties with a bitter face, but the next moment he suddenly remembered what Pei Yanning had just said.

He smiled.

"Comrades, it's not that I won't give it to you, it's just that it's really difficult on our train.

Look at it, isn’t it a bit of a meaning…”

As soon as he opened his mouth, the two men's faces darkened.

"What the hell do you mean?"

They really didn't expect that the conductor would dare to ask them for a kickback so arrogantly.

The conductor calmly took out the two hundred yuan that Pei Yanning had stuffed into his pocket.

"Do you know Comrade Pei Yanning? He was in the newspapers for the recent snowstorm relief work. Oh, he was also in the newspapers for leading people to look for water during the drought."

He nodded his chin at the box behind him.

"He is in that box over there. He gave me this money. He wants two baskets of coal."

Those two people looked at each other and said, "Brother, who the hell are you kidding?"
You asked Pei Yanning for a bribe. Do you want to quit your job as a train conductor?

The conductor pretended not to understand what they meant and began to praise them sincerely.

"Comrade Pei Yanning is indeed a good comrade who has been praised and commended many times by D and the organization.

They donated the money to buy food on our train to help passengers in need. They were worried that I wouldn't accept it for free, so they asked for two baskets of coal.

Actually, they don’t use charcoal. When I went there just now, I saw them cutting some branches and drying them. It seemed like they were planning to burn them directly for heating.”

The train conductor looked at me and said, "Look at how enlightened others are, and then look at your own expression."

The two cadres: "..."

Ah, this...

Isn't it embarrassing!
