In the autumn of 1992, Zhuge Huaizhi has become the backbone of the freight team, Wu Liankang has long eliminated his views on him, and instead likes this young man very much, and arranges for him to perform freight field operations alone.

Zhuge Huaizhi shuttles through the freight yard every day, tirelessly directs and organizes loading and unloading trucks, checks the quality of work, manages loading and unloading operations in an orderly manner, and devotes himself to the fiery youth life when he rests.

Not only that, but he also cares about current affairs, pays attention to analyzing important things that arise, and derives his own opinions, which are often very accurate.

Zhuge Huaizhi noticed that Comrade Xiaoping inspected the south and made a series of speeches on economic reform, and as a result, the slogan "time is money, efficiency is life" was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he came to a conclusion that it would not be long before the railway would enter a busy period.

Sure enough, in the second half of the year, the social economy is unprecedentedly prosperous, the rapid development of commodity circulation, Zhuge Huaizhi's work of the East Station passenger and freight business is also advancing by leaps and bounds, passenger travel and freight volume have increased significantly, have doubled.

The freight loading and unloading team at the station has also increased from more than 60 people in 4 classes to more than 120 people in 8 classes, and Zhuge Huaizhi's work has become busier.

After taking over the shift in the morning, Zhuge Huaizhi and the shift staff inspected the freight yard and simply made some marks in the book, and all remembered the waiting situation of the goods in the warehouse and platform cargo area in the freight yard, and the status of empty heavy vehicles in the line.

After returning to the freight room and checking with the freight office, Zhuge Huaizhi immediately issued today's loading and unloading task to the loading and unloading staff, just like a commander issued a combat order, which cargo position is loaded with which car, which heavy truck is unloaded on which cargo position, which loads, which shipment, which unloading and then loading, often all 12 classes are sent out in one breath, almost without looking at the book, and the loading and unloading squad members can't remember it every time, and call him to slow down.

Ten minutes later, the freight yard was full of people, machinery roared, vehicles came and shuttled, a hot labor scene unfolded, and Zhuge Huaizhi also continued to go back and forth to the various operation points, climbing up and down on the vehicle, checking the quality of loading and unloading, signing the operation order, issuing the door permit, busy and happy, often not drinking a sip of water for several hours.

Because there are too many goods that need to be loaded and unloaded, the loading and unloading team of more than 120 people is sometimes too busy, and the station regiment branch organizes the young members of the station off-duty to help the loading and unloading team unload the car every once in a while, Zhuge Huaizhi of course actively participates, encountering the work of unloading coal, generally 6 people a wagon, more than 4 hours to unload, the whole person can become black, look at each other and laugh, each person only shows a mouthful of white teeth.

The railway system is upgrading, and the freight room is going to install a microcomputer, and I heard that the statistical reports will be processed by the microcomputer in the future, and there is no need to calculate manually.

Zhuge Huaizhi felt very curious: Isn't the microcomputer the kind of computer that is staged on television? In the TV series, white-collar workers in big cities sit in front of a computer and work, so can they say that they will also work like this in the future? Isn't that too advanced?

In the list of the first batch of personnel in the train depot to train and learn to use microcomputers, there is Zhuge Huaizhi, who went to Jinan Railway Bureau for centralized training for half a month, Zhuge Huaizhi was excited, and he was the first to call He Rulan to tell the news.

"Congratulations! It seems that you are the technical backbone of the unit!" He Rulan smiled softly on the other end of the phone.

"I can't talk about the technical backbone, but I am a front-line employee who will use the microcomputer every day in the future, so I must master this technology first. Zhuge Huaizhi was quite proud.

"Then you have to study hard when you go, don't run around and skip class, but you can take this opportunity to go to your school, and you will meet your senior sister or something. He Rulan chuckled.

"Has anyone been looking for you recently?" Zhuge Huaizhi was shocked, could it be that this little girl Hu Jianjian had deceived me? Could it be that she had already gone to look for He Rulan?

"What, who's looking for me?" He Rulan didn't understand what Zhuge Huaizhi's words meant.

"Oh, nothing, I'm just asking. Zhuge Huaizhi hung up the phone in a panic, what if He Rulan misunderstood? What did she mean by what she just said? How should I explain it to her?

Forget it, maybe He Rulan is just joking, she is a little weak-hearted, Zhuge Huaizhi comforted himself, the end of the line is the right way, and Hu Jianjian is already in the past tense, even if He Rulan knows something, he can explain it clearly.

In the study class, Zhuge Huaizhi saw the big-bellied microcomputer for the first time, the slightly convex display screen, the keyboard marked with English letters and numeric keys, the insertion and copy of the disk, Zhuge Huaizhi studied hungrily, and half a month passed in a flash.

"Rulan! I'm back! I brought a lot of things, can you come to the station to pick me up?" Before returning from Jinan, Zhuge Huaizhi called He Rulan.

"No problem! What time is the train?" The increasing number of passenger cars every year makes He Rulan wonder how many trains pass through Yimeng, and she only knows two, one is a special express train from Beijing to Yimeng at half past nine in the morning, and another is an ordinary express train from Jinan passing through Yimeng.

Return to the heart like an arrow, Zhuge Huaizhi is an express train from Beijing, get on the train from Jinan at five o'clock in the morning, and arrive at Yimeng at half past nine in the morning, as soon as he leaves the station, Zhuge Huaizhi sees He Rulan wearing a white windbreaker, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the autumn breeze is blowing, He Rulan stands at the exit of the station like a white butterfly, beautiful and generous.

Zhuge Huaizhi only has a bag in one hand and a beautiful plastic bag in the other.

"Where's the stuff, didn't you bring a lot of things?" He Rulan looked left and right, and there was nothing else.

"Actually, there aren't many things, I just want you to pick me up and lie to you!" Zhuge Huaizhi smiled.

"You're really good! I also specially transferred classes with others to come, why are you so naïve!" He Rulan said with a smile.

"I've bought it for you!" Zhuge Huaizhi handed over the plastic bag in his hand.

"Did you buy me something? Then I'll pick you up, it's not in vain!" He Rulan's steady personality gradually became cheerful under the influence of Zhuge Huaizhi's nonsense all day long.

"This is Jinan's special snack sugar crisp pancakes, which are made of millet, and the one I bought is rose-flavored, thin and crispy, sweet and not greasy, nutritious, take it back to Xiaonan to eat some, it is easy to digest. "Zhuge Huaizhi has seen Xiaonan once, and he likes this child very much.

"Then I'll thank you for Xiaonan!" He Rulan smiled, this guy is quite good at things now.

"Well, there is also a silk scarf in it, after studying, those female comrades are going to visit the Grand View Garden, I also followed, they all bought silk scarves, and I also asked them to help the staff officer, I don't know if you like it or not......"

"Then what's embarrassing? The silk scarf is not cheap, how much money I will give you, even if you give it to me!" He Rulan said busily, although the two of them had met several times and had eaten together, it was the first time to give a gift.

"What do you mean? I am a second-class dealer, and I have become a silk scarf seller!" Zhuge Huaizhi half-jokingly, but there was a trace of unhappiness in his heart.

He Rulan has never spit out to admit that she is in love with herself, but she is just a friend, is she in such a hurry to give money to dissociate herself from herself?

"Oh! I don't mean that! Okay, I'll take the scarf, thank you! I'll treat you to dinner another day. He Rulan seemed to see Zhuge Huaizhi's unhappiness, and explained with a blushing face.

"Okay, please tonight!" Zhuge Huaizhi hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.
