Miaomiao's original name is Cui Miaomiao.
From Nanshi Town (not yet converted into Nanshi Commune), Cuijiazhuang.
His father, Cui Dashan, was originally a maintenance worker at the Qianmen Locomotive Depot.
In the early days of liberation, he was seriously injured while trying to prevent a train accident.
After returning to Cuijiazhuang.
Cui Dashan originally had a subsidy, thinking that he could live a good life relying on his clan and younger brother.
But I never expected it.
Cui Dashan, who has a huge fortune, has become a big fat man.
Relatives of the Cui family and Cui Dashan's younger brother came to his house every now and then to enjoy the autumn breeze.
After Cui Dashan died of a recurrence of his old injury, Cui Miaomiao was the only girl in the Cui family.
In addition, her mother, Liu Xiumo, was a refugee from other places. She had no roots in Cuijiazhuang and was devoured by the Cui family.
Liu Xiumo watched as Cui Dake rushed into the house and snatched away the food and furniture.
I was so angry and resentful that I soon became bedridden.
Before Liu Xiumo died, he felt that Miao Miao could not survive alone in Cuijiazhuang, and thought of Cui Dashan's former unit.
When Cui Dashan was alive, he always talked about the various benefits of the locomotive depot.
With her last hope in mind, Liu Xiumo wrote the letter and gave it to Miaomiao, hoping to find a way for her child to survive.
Miaomiao is very smart.
When his second uncle Cui Dake wasn't paying attention, he secretly hid in the oxcart of the Cuijiazhuang First Mutual Aid Group transporting public grain and headed to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot of the capital.
After all, she was only a five-year-old child, and she couldn't figure out what was going on.
Miaomiao secretly got on the bus and the train and arrived at Jincheng Railway Station.
At Jincheng Railway Station, I found out about the origin of train 131 from the old popsicle seller, so I had to board the train.
In the section chief's office.
Zhao Yazhi finished speaking, and the room fell into silence.
The light bulb on the roof buzzed twice, and the light flickered on and off.
Anger filled everyone's heart.
"boom!"
He slapped the table with a big palm, and Duan Chang Xing stood up with a dark face: "These people are so courageous if they dare to prey on the employees of our locomotive department!"
Duan Chang Xing is a very protective person.
On weekdays, I hate seeing my own family members being bullied.
What's more, the Cui family also deceived others too much.
At this time, Li Aiguo paid more attention to Miao Miao's second uncle-Cui Dake.
Cui Dake is a worse villain than Xu Damao in the original work.
Xu Damao likes to play with women, but if they are willing to spend money, it's all between you and me.
Cui Dake likes to use force.
Dr. Ding, who was inexperienced in the world, got drunk. From then on, this arrogant white swan completely sunk.
Later, he relied on confusing right and wrong and falsely accusing others, and became the leader of the machinery factory.
When Li Aiguo read the original work, he was confused about one thing.
After Cui Dake came to lead the machinery factory by giving away pigs, why did he have so much money and bacon to give as gifts?
In order to become the son-in-law of Liang Ladi's family, he paid for two pounds of sausages.
It cannot be said that he is not arrogant.
In those days, the members lived in hardship.
Not only can't make any money throughout the year, but when the accounts are settled at the end of the year, there may still be debts owed to the commune.
Cui Dake is just a livestock worker in Nanshi Town Commune, how can he have so much money?
Now the appearance of Miao Miao explains this problem - Cui Dake deprived his brother Cui Dashan of his family.
Cui Dashan's property paved the way for Cui Dake to climb up.
Miao Miao curled up in Zhao Yazhi's arms, staring at Li Aiguo. It was like a dream.
What she saw along the way was something Miaomiao had never dreamed of: white rice, scrambled eggs, and a big train that made noisy noises.
Miaomiao couldn't figure out what Li Aiguo did for a while, but she knew that he was her father's coworker.
Dad said that the friendship between workers is as deep as the sea, and you might be able to have enough to eat in the future.
Hearing Zhao Yazhi mention the name 'Cui Dake', Miao Miao was so frightened that her face turned pale. She couldn't help but tremble and crawled into Zhao Yazhi's arms.
"Don't be afraid, Miaomiao. With Mother Zhao here, no one dares to bully you."
Zhao Yazhi hugged Miaomiao tightly and comforted her, and rubbed Miaomiao's head. Miao Miao's face became slightly bloody.
Zhao Yazhi, who has always been demure, now looks like a tigress.
He said angrily to Duan Chang Xing: "Chief Duan, our maintenance section has to make decisions for the families of our employees!"
"This matter involves local affairs, so it's a bit difficult to handle. As the saying goes, it's hard for an upright official to deal with household affairs." Mr. Xing's brows knitted into knots.
The railway system and the local government are two different systems. There is no clear intervention point and it is indeed inconvenient to intervene.
And even though we are in a new society, old customs still have a lot of inertia.
It was abhorrent in later generations to live without a household, but in this era, the villagers took it for granted.
At best, it can be called a loss of personal ethics.
Just let Cui Dake go like this
Li Aiguo lowered his head to look at the lovely Miaomiao, and his thoughts suddenly became unclear.
Li Aiguo pondered for a moment and said: "Captain Duan, I suspect that the retirement salary paid to Cui Dashan by our locomotive maintenance section has been embezzled by Cui Dake."
Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly.
Duan Chang Xing had already understood. He picked up the phone and was about to contact the Nanshi Town Police Station and ask the other party to help investigate Cui Dake.
But he was stopped by Li Aiguo: "Captain Duan, Cui Dake devoured Cui Dashan's family. It's impossible that the people in the village didn't know about it, but they allowed him to do whatever he wanted."
"Is there something wrong here?"
When Duan Chang Xing heard this, his eyes narrowed and he put down the phone.
This was only seven or eight years after liberation.
Despite the quarrel with the Farmers' Association, the village chiefs in many villages are still old village chiefs from the old era.
Coupled with the clan issue, if we act rashly, we might alert the enemy.
"It is indeed possible." As an old Duan Chang, Duan Chang Xing had a lot of dealings with the villagers back then.
But who is going to go to Nanshi Town to investigate this matter?
Those comrades at the locomotive depot police station are not good at communicating with the local government.
He looked at Li Aiguo, his eyes lit up, and said, "Aiguo, this kid is very close to you. I'll leave the task of investigating this matter to you. Are you confident in completing it?"
Li Aiguo stood up, put his feet together, and said loudly: "Leader, please rest assured and promise to complete the task."
Cui Dake dared to bully the workers in the locomotive depot, and Li Aiguo naturally couldn't bear it.
In addition, there is one more thing that can be done during this trip to Nanshi Town.
He remembered the information provided by Liang Ladi, glanced at Duan Chang Xing, and looked at Section Chief Liu and Zhao Yazhi.
Duan Chang Xing caught Li Aiguo's gaze and invited Section Chief Liu and Zhao Yazhi out.
Wait until the office door closes.
Li Aiguo lowered his voice and said: "I heard that Nanshi Town has started to establish advanced agricultural cooperatives, and some rich farmers are secretly selling chickens, ducks, and fat pigs."
(Advanced agricultural cooperatives are the primary stage of people’s communes.)
Duan Chang Xing instantly understood what Li Aiguo meant.
Most of the work in the locomotive depot is heavy work.
If there was no oil and water in the meal, the workers would not be able to survive at all.
The meat distributed by the General Administration is limited.
Coupled with the recent reduction in meat quotas month by month, Duan Chang Xing often quarreled with the leaders of the Planning Department of the General Administration.
But it's useless.
If we can take the opportunity to purchase a batch and put them in the icehouse of the third-line factory in the locomotive depot, we can last for several months.
When the workers have meat to eat, the pressure on the section leader will be much less.
Duan Chang Xing looked at Li Aiguo with admiration.
This guy's brain is so flexible.
He nodded and said: "This time you go to Nanshi Town and buy some poultry. The more, the better!"
"Go to the big tent in the cafeteria."
"Don't worry, I promise to complete the task."
Li Aiguo chuckled.
Our train driver has become a temporary buyer again.
Because there are still driving tasks, the canteen purchase also needs to prepare the national food stamps and money needed to purchase livestock.
Therefore, we can only wait until three days before heading to Nanshi Town.
After setting a time, Li Aiguo discovered that there was another important problem that needed to be solved urgently.
What should Miaomiao do?
Duan Chang Xing originally wanted to let the comrades from the Women's Federation take care of Miao Miao first.
After the matter is investigated clearly, Miaomiao will be sent to the nursery.
"Uncle, Mother Zhao, do you want Miaomiao anymore?"
When Miao Miao heard that she was about to be taken away, she hugged Li Aiguo's legs tightly and held Zhao Yazhi's arm without letting go.
That aggrieved little look makes people feel heartbroken.
Li Aiguo looked at Duan Chang Xing and said, "Chief Duan, why don't you leave this child to my care first."
Duan Chang Xing was not the kind of hard-hearted person. He nodded and said: "Okay, you can take it back first, but this child is an orphan of our locomotive maintenance section and should be raised in the section. For the time being, you can go to the section to receive five yuan every month." money subsidy.”
Li Aiguo nodded heavily when he heard this.
This is why he has always respected this old leader.
Duan Chang Xing has many bad habits, such as yelling at people and getting physical.
But we can treat workers as brothers.
This is something many leaders cannot do.
Zhao Yazhi originally wanted to raise Miao Miao.
It’s just that the house has not been tidied up yet. She lives in the dormitory on weekdays and has no place for her children.
Zhao Yazhi took Miao Miao's hand and said to Li Aiguo with a pleading look on her face: "Aiguo, wait a while."
Li Aiguo knew what she meant and nodded: "Put the child with me first. You can go and see her often these days to cultivate feelings first."
Actually think about it carefully.
Zhao Yazhi herself has plans to not remarry, and having a child is a good thing.
but.
Children are not toys.
Not even a tool.
Out of the section chief's office.
"Miaomiao, let's go home, okay?" Li Aiguo took Miaomiao's little hand.
"Go home~"
Miaomiao's little face suddenly became excited, and she suddenly took Zhao Yazhi's hand: "Mother Zhao, let's go home."
This is really a clever little guy.
Li Aiguo explained slowly: "Mother Zhao's house has not been tidied up yet. Can you stay at Uncle Li's house for a few days first?"
Miaomiao's little head was a little confused.
Uncle and aunt are both good people, why not be a family.
Zhao Yazhi did not expect that Miaomiao would miss her, and her heart warmed, and she rubbed Miaomiao's head lovingly.
"Miaomiao, I'll pick you up after a while."
Miaomiao was a little frustrated, but her little head nodded.
While talking here, Sister Zhang from the Women's Federation got the news and rushed over.
He was carrying a package in his hands.
"Driver Li, keep these old clothes for my daughter. There are also a few hairbands, all new."
"Sister, thank you." As Li Aiguo spoke, he wanted to reach into his pocket for money.
Sister Zhang said angrily: "Miaomiao is the orphan of our locomotive depot, just like a goddaughter. Driver Li, you are going to slap me in the face."
Seeing that Sister Zhang was sincere, Li Aiguo could only stuff the money back.
Later, those workers showed Li Aiguo what it means to be a family in the locomotive depot.
The section chief gave me two pairs of new socks, Chef Zhang from the cafeteria gave me half a catty of white flour, and Huang Shuxian from the Education Department gave me some homework books.
In a short time, Li Aiguo earned a large package of things by relying on Miao Miao.
The little cotton-padded jacket is not only warm, but also a money tree.
Zhao Yazhi placed the package on the car seat.
Li Aiguo held Miao Miao with one hand and held the handle of the car with the other, running slowly towards the courtyard.
It was close to dusk.
The leaves on the roadside swayed in the bleak autumn wind, shaking off warm spots on the ground.
Miaomiao felt uncomfortable sitting just for a while. She sat on the bars of the bicycle, holding the handlebars with both hands, looking at the novel scenery around her and letting out a giggle.
The world is beautiful!
But before we went very far, the little girl started to doze off during the bumps.
Li Aiguo could only stop the car and unbutton his work clothes.
The overalls were already wide, so the little girl was stuffed into the overalls and the top buttons were fastened.
Well, almost like a kangaroo mother.
He put his long legs on the bicycle and pedaled hard.
"Go home!"
Return to the courtyard.
Li Aiguo often comes back with large and small bags, and Yan Bugui has long been used to it.
This time I brought a child!
A nine-magnitude earthquake occurred in the pupils behind the tortoiseshell glasses of the old teacher.
He stood up in a daze and asked, "Patriot, who is this child?"
"For coworkers, stay at home for a few days first." Li Aiguo explained casually.
"Yeah."
Yan Bugui looked unbelieving.
You can't support yourself these days, so why are you helping others raise their children?
Li Aiguo didn't explain, and rode his bicycle to the backyard.
As soon as he entered the Crescent Gate, he met Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu had actually been waiting for Li Aiguo for a while, and her hair was messy by the autumn wind.
"Patriot, you are back."
"Comrade Qin Huairu, what's wrong with you?" Li Aiguo frowned vaguely.
Qin Huairu saw Li Aiguo holding a child in his arms, but Li Aiguo didn't explain, and she didn't dare to ask.
Qin Huairu pursed her lips, seeming to find it difficult to speak.
I stood there muttering for a long time without making a single sound.
"If you're okay, please get out of the way."
Li Aiguo was anxious to go back and was about to leave while pushing his bicycle.
Qin Huairu panicked and quickly pulled the handle of the car and whispered: "You, can you explain to the neighbors in the compound, the leaders of the steel rolling mill, and the leaders of the street office that our Jia family has no Dieter is suspected."
It is understandable to explain to the neighbors that no one these days wants to deal with the family that Dieter suspects.
But what happened to the subdistrict office and the steel rolling mill?
Qin Huairu explained with a miserable look: "Today, Jia Dongxu went to work in the workshop and was called by the leader of the education department of the steel rolling mill to reprimand him. Not only was he required to participate in ideological study classes in the factory, he was also unable to participate in ratings for five years. "
It seems that the steel rolling mill takes this kind of thing very seriously.
Li Aiguo said calmly: "Jia Dongxu is accusing people behind his back. We really need to strengthen ideological education. The leaders of the steel rolling mill are also doing it for his own good."
For the good of others. Why does this sound so much like Yi Zhonghai!
Qin Huairu was unwilling to give in and continued: "You also know the situation of our family. The whole family depends on Jia Dongxu's salary. We have already applied for the subsistence allowance with the street office. The third uncle said that the subsistence allowance can be five yuan a month. With the money subsidy, the children will be exempted from tuition and miscellaneous fees when they go to school in the future.”
Li Aiguo frowned slightly: "As long as your home meets the conditions, the subdistrict office will definitely pass it."
Qin Huairu saw that Li Aiguo was pretending to be confused, so she could only confess: "The conditions are still a little bit low. I asked the uncle for help and it can be done immediately.
Who would have known that after this incident, my family’s ideological education score was deducted by ten points.
I can only get a green ticket this month, but I won’t be able to get the minimum living allowance. "
"So you want me to intercede?" Li Aiguo felt a little funny.
Qin Huairu bit her lip: "...I also know that Jia Dongxu went a little too far, but he really didn't have any bad intentions."
"You have no bad intentions? You deliberately falsely accuse others and want to send others into the fence. Isn't this considered a good idea?" Li Aiguo put on a straight face, looked into Qin Huairu's eyes and said: "Qin Huairu, who is Jia Dongxu? Are you better than I know better."
"You think you are smart enough to wipe his butt, but not everyone is a fool!"
Li Aiguo looked at Qin Huairu with tears in his eyes and said coldly: "Give way, don't block the way."
After speaking, Li Aiguo rode his bicycle back to the backyard.
Seeing that Li Aiguo was about to leave, Qin Huairu twisted her buttocks and blocked the door beside the Crescent Moon Gate, her helpless tears and grievances flowing down her face.
Qin Huairu knew that Jia Dongxu was at fault in this matter, but there was nothing she could do.
The Jia family now relies entirely on Jia Dongxu's monthly salary of twenty-seven yuan and five cents.
Moreover, the money Jia Dongxu brought back every time was not enough.
Ms. Jia Zhang eats refined grains every day and spends three yuan every month on painkillers.
Banggeng was still young, so she couldn't go to the train station to carry big bags with the lesbians in the compound.
The money at home is simply not enough.
In the past, when Sha Zhu was still there, he could borrow ten yuan from Sha Zhu every month, plus the leftovers brought back by Sha Zhu, and borrow some food from the neighbors, and his life was manageable.
Now Silly Zhu is squatting on the fence. What happened is that the neighbors are avoiding her house like the god of plague.
"What can we do? We have to let people live!" Qin Huairu cried at the top of her lungs.
Li Aiguo has never seen such a shameless person. He couldn't get through even if he was blocked. He said coldly: "Can't you survive?"
"There are only four people in your family, the third uncle's family has six people, Liu Haizhong's family also has five people, and the Zhang family next door has eight people. All of them only have one person's salary. Why can they live a prosperous life? Have you ever thought about it?"
Li Aiguo didn't say anything when he saw Qin Huairu, nor did he save face for her.
"The way your family eats fine grains all day long, even the workshop leaders can't afford it."
"Not to mention that Jia Zhang is still squatting at the door basking in the sun at such a young age."
"Our street provides handicrafts for pasting matchboxes. Why doesn't your family do it?"
"No matter what happens, you can go to the station to carry the big bag!"
"It's not that you're lazy! You want to rely on others!"
Qin Huairu wanted to retort at first, but by the end she couldn't even lift her head.
Li Aiguo saw that Miao Miao was a little sleepy. The air in the courtyard had dropped, and he was afraid of freezing the child. Then he said: "Qin Huairu, let me give you a message. The mountain will fall, and everyone will run. Only you are the most reliable." "
After saying that, Li Aiguo ignored her, got on his bicycle and walked away.
Qin Huairu staggered back into the house, and Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu surrounded her.
"Huairu, when will Li Aiguo's grandson help us clarify?"
Qin Huairu sighed and said, "Mom, I will go to the street office tomorrow to pick up the matchbox, and you can help paste the box at home."
"Or go to the train station to carry a big bag."
Jia Zhangshi: "."
Damn Li Aiguo.
We must drive her old lady to death!
