"The most important thing when driving safely is to be careful. Our train conductors practice their skills hard. Once, the conductor Zhao Youling discovered that the iron shoes of the train were not in place."
In the locomotive depot staff dormitory.
The train conductor Bai Yuejie said a lot of words.
She saw Li Aiguo holding a pen but had not started writing, and frowned: "Driver Li, why don't you write? This is valuable driving experience. If it is published in a newspaper, it will definitely remind other crew members. Comrade."
Bai Yuejie didn't have much objection to the locomotive maintenance department giving the job of writing articles to Driver Li.
After all, Driver Li is a technical secondary school graduate.
I also like to write some short articles on weekdays.
It's just that he seems a little uncooperative.
"Captain Bai, the main purpose of this press release is to celebrate our locomotive depot's achievement of 200 days of safe driving, rather than to introduce driving experience."
Li Aiguo closed the pen cap and started playing with the smooth pen in his hand.
"The Beijing Railway Worker's Daily is a tabloid that is published every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday every other day.
Because the newspaper does not contain much content, the newsletter should not exceed 500 words, and the news draft should not exceed 300 words.
Otherwise, it will never be accepted for publication. Although our two hundred-day safety record is very special, it should not exceed three hundred words. "
Bai Yuejie was stunned when she heard this, and held her forehead: "Driver Li, I really didn't expect that there are so many tricks in this. If it weren't for you, I would have to write a two thousand-word press release.
You know the situation of our crew and all the deeds, so this article is still written according to your wishes. "
Bai Yuejie was good at training people, but she was an amateur at writing and writing, so she left all the power to Li Aiguo.
In his previous life, Li Aiguo served in a government agency for several years, wrote many press releases, and even published poems.
I was even more familiar with this kind of "praise of merit" manuscripts. In less than half an hour, a 300-word press release was written.
"Captain Bai, take a look, is there anything that needs to be modified?"
Li Aiguo handed the manuscript paper to Captain Bai, stood up, poured a cup of tea, and drank it comfortably.
Railway employees can receive half a catty of big-leaf tea from the Materials Department every month.
It doesn't taste great, a little bitter, but it's refreshing.
Captain Bai looked at it carefully for a moment, pointed at the manuscript and said, "Driver Li, most of the content in this manuscript was under the guidance of the leader of the Railway Bureau and the care of the section chief of the locomotive section.
There is only one sentence about our 131 crew, and I can even name it. You and the members of the crew don’t even have names.
How is this commending us? This is obviously commending the leaders. Is it appropriate? "
Li Aiguo put down the enamel jar.
He pulled out a copy of the "Beijing Railway Workers' Newspaper" from the nearby bookshelf and handed it over: "Captain Bai, look at other articles."
Bai Yuejie was born in the army and did not like to write or write. She spent all day on the train and only glanced at the newspaper during ideological study meetings.
It’s just that in the study meeting, all I read was Renren Daily, which dealt with national events. I really didn’t understand this kind of small newspaper.
She spread out the newspaper and looked at it through the sunlight falling outside the window, and soon her beautiful eyebrows frowned.
Because the articles in the newspaper have the same flavor as those written by Li Aiguo.
"Captain Bai, don't be disappointed. The more you pay, the narrower your mind will be. The more you talk about dedication, the higher your realm will be.
We must take the overall situation into consideration and be ideologically aware, and should not compete for fame and fortune.
As long as the name of our 131st crew is in the newspaper, it is our honor. "
Li Aiguo stood up and comforted Commander Bai.
Captain Bai also often attended study meetings and knew this well. "Comrade Patriot, it seems that your superiors were right in choosing you to write the manuscript."
After the manuscript is written, it still needs to be transcribed, and the transcribing work is done by Chief Bai.
Her handwriting is beautiful, which makes it easier for her to win the favor of newspaper editors.
After copying, Li Aiguo checked it over to make sure there were no omissions, and carried a canvas bag to the locomotive depot education room.
In this era, the requirements for press releases are very strict.
Before submitting an article to a newspaper, you need to obtain the consent of the relevant departments of your unit, and you also need to review the authenticity of the article.
After passing the review, the relevant department will issue a letter of introduction and stamp the official seal on the letter of introduction.
If there is no letter of introduction, the newspaper will not publish the article. This is the rule.
At the same time, if there is a problem with the manuscript, both the locomotive depot and the newspaper office must admit responsibility.
Knock on the door of the education room.
The new director of the Education Office, She Cuiping, and the secretary, Huang Shufen, are both in the office.
Li Aiguo did not know She Cuiping.
But She Cuiping attended the commendation meeting in the afternoon and was deeply impressed by this young man who was commended alone.
She Cuiping stood up and looked at him: "Driver Li Aiguo, right? What can you do?"
Seeing Li Aiguo's strange expression, Huang Shufen quickly introduced with a smile: "Driver Li, this is Comrade She Cuiping, the director of our education office."
Li Aiguo smiled and nodded: "Hello, Director She. In the first section of the conference, our crew was asked to write a press release. I will finish it now and would like to ask the director for guidance."
"So fast?" She Cuiping was a little surprised.
Huang Shufen said at this time: "Driver Li is a regular technical secondary school graduate. He used to like to write articles in school and has some writing skills."
"I didn't expect that Driver Li is so versatile. We must vigorously cultivate outstanding talents!" She Cuiping stretched out her hand: "Where is the manuscript? Let me review it first."
Li Aiguo took out the manuscript from the canvas bag and handed it over with both hands.
After She Cuiping took it, she sat down, put on her glasses and looked at it carefully.
The 300-word manuscript was read quickly.
She raised her head in surprise and said, "Driver Li, not only are you good at driving, I didn't expect that you also have such profound writing skills. This is comparable to articles written by professional journalists."
Before She Cuiping was transferred to the Education Office as the director, she was the deputy section chief responsible for publicity work in the Locomotive Depot Publicity Department.
My writing skills are very high. At a glance, I can "naturally" know the quality of the article.
Li Aiguo's press release is short and concise, but takes all aspects into consideration.
And it is not as boring as ordinary commendation manuscripts. There are one or two key words in it, which play a role in calling on and warning the charter crews of the locomotive depot to pay attention to safety.
In this era, most of the comrades in the railway locomotive depot were transferred from the railway corps. There was already a shortage of people who could write articles. It was a surprise to discover Li Aiguo today.
She Cuiping nodded in admiration: "The manuscript is very well written, and there is no need to modify a word. Driver Li, have you ever considered working in our education office?"
What a good guy, I started poaching people the first time I met him.
Seeing that She Cuiping was relatively thin, Li Aiguo originally thought that her temperament would be gentler.
Who knows, he is still similar to the leaders of other departments in the locomotive depot - just two words "fierce".
If you put on military uniform, it will be almost like the army.
Li Aiguo smiled and declined: "Director She, I am very happy at the driver's post. I don't want to sit in the office for the time being."
She Cuiping also mentioned it casually.
Promising drivers like Li Aiguo will have more road experience.
With enough experience at the grassroots level, the future is much better than that of cadres like them who are simply engaged in ideological education, and it is possible to directly serve as section leaders.
"Pity"
She Cuiping nodded and said, "You must be tired after driving all day. I have issued a stamped letter of introduction and will deliver it to the newspaper in person."
She paused and whispered, "I have an old classmate who works as an editor in a newspaper."
Li Aiguo was overjoyed and quickly thanked: "Thank you, Director She!"
Newspapers in this era were very authoritative. Even if the "Beijing Railway Workers News" was a tabloid of the work unit, it would receive hundreds of manuscripts every day.
and.
The main page of the newspaper should reprint reports from Renren Daily, and a section should be left to cover news from the railway sector. The only space left for their locomotive section is a palm-sized page.
After most manuscripts are sent to the editorial office, they remain on the filing cabinet forever, never to be opened.
With She Cuiping's relationship, the manuscript can at least be sent to the editor's desk.
"You're welcome, we are all from the same maintenance section."
She Cuiping looked up at Li Aiguo: "If you have any manuscripts in the future, you can send them directly to the education room.
If it is published in a national newspaper, our locomotive depot will reward you with a reward of 100 yuan. If it is published in a local newspaper, it will be rewarded with 50 yuan. The newspaper in the locomotive depot will be rewarded with five yuan. "
Li Aiguo smiled and said, "Then I will inevitably disturb Director She from now on."
This is a great way to get rich.
But it’s just a thought.
In this era, there was no centenarian lady with more than a dozen identities on television and newspapers.
To get published in a national newspaper.
It’s simply harder than climbing to the sky.
After leaving the education room, Li Aiguo prepared to find Wang Dakui.
After these few days of driving.
The capital to open a scrap shop has been almost saved, and we can start planning.
As soon as he rode his tandem bicycle to the entrance of the locomotive depot, he saw Wang Dakui running towards him on his bicycle.
I saw Wang Dakui rushing over on his bicycle.
"Brother Patriot, I personally watched Liu Changyi this afternoon. That boy spent all his money. He moved a big clock from his house and exchanged it for money in a trust store. Now he is drinking with others in a tavern in Zhengyangmen."
"I guess after they drank, it was time to make money."
"Come on, you go back and change into clean clothes first. We'll take care of Liu Changyi today."
After waiting for seven or eight days, I finally got this opportunity, so naturally I couldn't let it go.
Li Aiguo got on his bicycle and went straight to Wang Dakui's house.
Where can Wang Dakui find any good clothes?
The only tunic suit I had was washed and turned white. After putting it on, I looked poor.
"This won't work. Come on, wear my clothes."
A brand new white shirt, a pair of beige pants, and a pair of shiny leather shoes.
Well...glossy.
Quickly putting these pieces of clothing on his body, this guy suddenly looked like a human and a dog.
Li Aiguo put on Wang Dakui's labor cloth pants and brown linen shirt, which looked a little too small and made him walk a little awkwardly.
But that's okay.
Today’s protagonist is Wang Dakui.
With this outfit and his honest face, this kid looks like a good fat sheep.
Li Aiguo looked at the plump Wang Dakui for a few times and nodded with satisfaction.
He took out two five-dollar bills and stuffed them into his hand, and then handed the lighter to his hand.
"Keep this money in your pocket and take out the lighter later to scare their eyes out."
Wang Dakui was shocked by Li Aiguo's handiwork: "Forget the money, I don't like Liu Changyi's grandson."
This is a new society, and if someone still dares to abuse a child bride, it would not be an exaggeration to think that such a person would be cut to pieces.
"This is all small money. If I ask you to take it, you can take it."
Li Aiguo doesn't care about this now.
Afraid that Liu Changyi would run away, he hurriedly took him out of the courtyard.
The two of them rode their bicycles all the way to the tavern next to Zhengyang Gate.
This is the bustling area of Beijing.
The streets are crowded with people, the sound of bicycle bells is ringing, and occasionally you can see jeeps passing by with black smoke.
Seeing the two people coming, Zhang Erpao and Xiao Hei Dan, who had been staring at the door of the tavern, ran over.
Zhang Erpao wiped his nose and reported in a lowered voice: "Brother Patriot, Brother Dakui, and Liu Changyi are inside, near the window. They are drinking."
Following Liu Zhang's gaze, Li Aiguo saw Liu Changyi chatting with a young man through the window.
That young man looks very distinctive.
He is less than twenty years old, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and shallow lips. It can be said that he has regular facial features.
But when combined together, it always feels like a wild wolf.
This guy seems to have some impression
Li Aiguo frowned and thought for a moment, then slapped his thigh suddenly.
Isn't this guy just a famous little bastard?
It's just that the little bastard now is a few years younger than in the original.
Although he is a little more childish, his ruthlessness is already written between his eyebrows.
Wang Dakui often travels around the world, so he recognized the little bastard now.
He frowned: "Brother Patriot, this man is a famous "Buddha" in the Xinjiekou area. He specializes in going against the big courtyard brothers. He carries a bayonet all the time and is vicious. Liu Changyi invites him to drink, so he probably won't do anything good."
"Come on, let's go listen."
Li Aiguo hunched over and walked over to the glass window.
A cold voice came out along the gap.
The tavern is filled with the aroma of wine.
Wealthy drinkers order a plate of peanuts and a jug of old wine to drink leisurely.
For the shabby ones, the food and wine are just iron nails, and they have to be rusty ones.
After taking a sip of wine, he put the iron nail in his mouth.
Very happy too.
The atmosphere in the tavern was very lively with laughter and curses.
Liu Changyi looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass of wine for the little bastard.
"I'm talking about Zhou Zhangli, how have you considered the matter you mentioned last time?"
Li Aiguo outside the window saw a waiter bringing wine and food, and squatted down, intending to hear what his grandson wanted to discuss with the gangster.
Inside the room, Zhou Changli picked up his wine glass and said, "Master Liu, your matter is really difficult to deal with. That Li Aiguo lives in a large courtyard with people coming and going, so I can't do anything about it. Also, he is an employee of the locomotive maintenance department. If If you mess with it, you’ll be in big trouble.”
Damn it.
When Li Aiguo heard that it was related to him, he quickly pricked up his ears.
"You little bastard Zhou Zhangli, who among us in the Fourth and Nine Cities doesn't know your reputation?"
Liu Changyi picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and said twice: "You dare to kill those young men in the compound, but you can't help a little railway worker?"
After hearing this, Zhou Changli looked a little proud, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Liu Changyi continued:
"As for the large number of people in the courtyard, you can't take action, and there is no need for you to take action there. Li Aiguo's grandson is sleeping in the locomotive department dormitory these days. From an old friend, I know a path that can bypass the security officer."
"My little bitch lives in the dormitory. I've been there twice, and the door there isn't locked at all."
"Wait until night, sneak into the dormitory, while he is asleep, and swipe the bayonet along his neck, and everything will be settled."
