Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

When he saw Li Aiguo walking around the two dilapidated houses next door after get off work, Yi Zhonghai didn't pay much attention to it. Li Aiguo had more urgent things to deal with - his upcoming marriage and heavy workload, so he didn't have the energy to think about such troublesome issues.

Instead, he began to use this short period of time to think about how to apply the professional knowledge in his mind to help the railway construction and national modernization process, or read some professional literature and books to improve his skills so as to be better prepared for future competition and challenges.

But the primary goal is still to rearrange the interior of the house and prepare for Chen Xueru's visit and communication.

Because doing housework alone is always boring, Li Aiguo called on his neighbor He Yushui to work with him. When she knew that there would be guests coming to the house on the weekend, she showed special joy and picked up the broom to work hard, making the house look brand new inside and outside.

The operation of carriage No. 131 was as usual. As the deputy conductor drove the train on the track between Beijing and Tianjin in the morning, he skillfully controlled the train to shuttle between the two cities during the busy hours. The deputy driver Liu Qingquan and the machine operator Zheng Lao had some understanding of the matter.

They each jokingly expressed their anticipation for what was about to happen. "Li Aiguo, when you get married, don't forget to treat me to a drink!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I will prepare some fine wine and will definitely show my support to you when the time comes." He happily shared his expectations with the other party while driving the car. "Master Li, I heard that your leader rewarded you with a large TV. When can you take it home? I also want to see it."

Master Zheng put down his shovel and said with a smile: "Xiao Li, I heard that the higher-ups gave you a big LCD TV. When can you move it in so that we can see this fashionable thing?" All this was going on in a busy manner, as if everything was moving in a better direction.

Li Aiguo roughly calculated the date on the calendar and said, "We still have to wait for about half a month. By then, I will put the TV in the dormitory so that everyone can enjoy the TV."

"Driver Li is really generous and open-minded."

Master Zheng raised his fist in approval.

The fact that Li Aiguo would own a large color TV became an open secret in the entire locomotive depot. Most people felt that this reward was well-deserved. After all, it was the result of risking their lives.

But there are always people who are jealous and envious.

I put the TV in the dormitory for a few days to show everyone, and no one criticized it.

If such colleagues who take the overall situation into consideration do not get promoted and recognized, how should we evaluate the performance of those who make progress?

Li Aiguo himself didn't think too much about it.

He was different from most people of this era who treasured a 14-inch color TV. He simply wanted to make his friends happy.

When the train arrived in Tianjin, all the passengers had already gotten off the train, but Li Aiguo got out of the cockpit, smoking a cigarette and waiting for something.

After a while, Zhang Yazhi was seen leading the little black fat guy and a few others, carrying bags of different sizes, into the dormitory area.

Because Zhang Yazhi was wearing a uniform as a waitress, she did not attract anyone's attention.

After a few minutes, the fat black guy and his companions unloaded their luggage, waved to Li Aiguo, and then left for other places.

At this time, Zhang Yazhi also got off the train. She walked over with a smile and said to Li Aiguo: "This time, I helped transport about 56 kilograms of goods."

Although he would receive some appropriate compensation every time he helped Li Aiguo deliver goods, Li Aiguo would still say gratefully: "Thank you for your hard work."

"What's going on? You're getting married, but you even forgot your name?" Yazhi gritted her teeth and pretended to be angry.

Before Li Aiguo could explain, Yazhi showed a gentle face. "Brother Guo, don't worry about this. I understand my situation. I am not a novice in the world, so don't worry. It won't bother me in the future."

"If you hadn't helped me, I might have been harassed by that bad guy and would have been in jail." Zhang Yazhi sighed, "Now I just want you to remember me, pay more attention to me in the future, and not stay too far away from you."

Seeing Yazhi's sincere expression, Li Aiguo nodded and agreed: "I really haven't done that, but your words make me feel warm."

On the way back, Zhang Yazhi suddenly became very diligent, proactive and fond of asking questions.

There are people who are preparing to learn how to drive as train attendants. Of course, as a truck driver, Li Aiguo will definitely be responsible for teaching.

The train was pitch black and its engine was spewing thick black gas as it passed through the narrow tunnel. The sound of the wheels and rails constantly colliding with each other was excruciating.

After half an hour of diligent study and hard practice, Zhang Yazhi began to sweat. She opened her mouth slightly, and after a long time, she finally recovered, then took out a match to help Li Aiguo light the cigarette.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang Yazhi listened attentively for a while, then said with a little regret: "It must be Miss Xiaoling from the Zhang family who asked me to come over to study the rules and regulations together. I wanted to stay with you for a while longer today."

"Go ahead, don't delay your work." Li Aiguo smoked comfortably.

"Dudu-"

Zhang Yazhi tidied her clothes and opened the door.

Standing at the door was her cousin Zhang Youling.

"You're open so late, are you going to play with that gigolo again?"

When Zhang Youling saw Zhang Yazhi's blushing face, she asked jokingly while looking at the box in the room curiously. Zhang Yazhi turned around, closed the door, and pushed Zhang Youling to the chief steward's office.

"Let's go, we'll be late if we don't go now."

Recalling Zhang Yazhi's changes during this period of time, Zhao Youling nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "Yazhi, are you really with driver Li now?"

"That damn girl, what are you talking about!" Zhang Yazhi's face changed instantly, and she put her hands on Zhao Youling's shoulders and hit them hard a few times. Zhao Youling smiled and dodged, saying, "That's no big deal, it makes you so anxious. You see, driver Li has strength and talent, but he looks like an old donkey. If I were you, I would also like to give it a try."

"If you continue to act recklessly, there will be no hope between us." Zhang Yazhi did not want others to discuss Li Aiguo's situation, for fear that it would have a negative impact on him.

Zhao Youling stopped and looked at Zhang Yazhi with a serious look: "You see, your heart is indeed touched, but I also heard that driver Li is dating someone, so your persistence may not be feasible."

“Youling, even though we are just cousins, the relationship between me and my biological sisters is just as deep.”

Zhang Yazhi took Zhao Youling's hand and said sincerely, "To be honest with you, I don't want to get married for the rest of my life. I just want to spend the rest of my life happily alone."

"As for marriage, I've already let my dream fly."

Zhao Youling knew clearly that her foolish sister had been deeply hurt in her last marriage and had developed a deep fear of marriage and love.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Zhang Yazhi is living quite well on her own.

She has a job and will receive a pension when she retires in the future. Why should she go to someone else's house and serve them?

Zhao Youling stopped trying to persuade him. As long as she tried her best to give birth to more children, one of them could be adopted by her in the future to take care of Zhang Yazhi in her later years.

After Yi Zhongyuan returned to the courtyard, he went to ask Yan Bugui for the key and changed the locks of the two old houses. He inspected the area.

There's actually quite a lot of space there.

However, because it is close to the east wall, the windows cannot be fully opened, resulting in insufficient indoor lighting.

This space was used as a warehouse or miscellaneous storage area in the past. The old walls were peeling and there were some gaps, and the wind could be heard blowing nearby.

The humidity in the room was very high, and there was a faint musty smell in the air.

It is very likely that people like Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang secretly entered this room and defecated here.

The living conditions were not ideal, but they just met Yi Zhongyuan's wishes and needs.

When Fan Jin moved here and needed to tidy up his room, he could only seek help from Yi Zhongyuan.

Then there will be a chance to control him.

The art of understanding other people's behavior is very delicate, and requires just the right amount of manipulation to avoid offending the other person and to give them some subtle touches and guidance.

In such a community, only Yi Zhongyuan could perfectly achieve this level of proficiency.

After choosing the living space, Yi Zhongyuan did not inform the leaders of the street office immediately, but kept silent for two days. He hoped that this would show his importance and concern.

"Director Wang, I checked the situation carefully after returning. This house can be temporarily lived in, although the environment is not particularly good." He reported. "But please rest assured, after Director Fan moves in, I will be responsible for organizing the staff to help with cleaning and tidying up."

The leader nodded and said in agreement: "Old Yi, you are really proactive this time. This is how you should do things in the future. You should get down to business and stop messing around with trivial things in the community."

"The director's teaching is really good. I will remember these lessons and keep smiling." Yi Zhongyuan said with a flattering smile.

Then, ** stood up and said, "It's decided. I still need to contact Director ** Zhang at the Daqianmen Street Office."

In fact, Director Wang was not very enthusiastic about Fan Jinyou’s new home.

As long as he could repay the favor and meet the requirements of the Daqianmen Subdistrict Office, it would be enough, and there was no need for an on-site inspection. However, Yi Zhongyuan had other plans in mind.

Even before entering the courtyard, Fan Jinshi had already been arranged and everything was ready.
