Chapter 19: The Old Man
Younger sister!
Sister, sister!
The couch rolled up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info eyes half-open and half-closed, full of poetry and slow chanting.
You are the rose in my heart, the bud that contains spores!
I'm stupid for you, I'm drunk for you,
It's like a kitten seeing a big mouse.
Liao Hua shook his head incomprehensibly, and only after half a sound did he take a chance and interjected: Sofa!
The sofa suddenly opened his big eyes, very excited: it's true feelings, why bother asking rhyme! If it's a real hero, you have to love your sister!
After a while, the sofa explained that the big mouse should be pronounced as the old man, and the rhyme was not wrong.
Liao Hua asked: The kitten saw the big mouse, do you have any explanation?
The sofa was so happy that he scratched his ears and cheeks: Second brother, you can ask me about my itch now. I'll tell you. This sentence is the poetic eye of my poem. It took me two hairs to get a stroke of genius.
Liao Hua: I'm a little confused.
The sofa twisted, got out of bed, grabbed his shoes, turned back and forth more than a dozen times, and shouted seven times: Big fat sofa, only to calm down the excited feelings.
The sofa is a good comrade, and he never tires of teaching: I will tell you, what will the kitten's heart be like when it sees the mouse? Rejoice! Just like I have seen my beloved sister! What is the big mouse, what is the beautiful sister? What does the kitten think? When the mouse is big, it has a lot of meat, but it is not easy to take it.
When the kitten saw the big mouse, he said to Oh, like me, the first time I saw my beloved sister, the first time I saw him in my life. The charm of joy and worry is intertwined, and it can only be understood and cannot be conveyed!
Liao Hua still shook his head: You are such a good writer? Why did you have a make-up exam for official writing?
The sofa was half angry: Isn't that your fault? Who made you write your name in the part of the argument, so that I copied the whole text, and was called over by Lao Hongdan, and got a reprimand!
Liao Hua was taken aback: But you never said this?
The sofa snorted angrily: Do I dare to say it? Don't let the whole hospital laugh at me?
Liao Hua: Then when you copied it, what did you think?
The sofa looked awkward: Sister, sister, sister, sister in my heart!
Liao Hua: What is your sister like?
The sofa closed his eyes, and his face showed a look of longing: My sister in my heart must have a pair of big eyes and black and bright hair.
Liao Hua: The Dani of the old Liang family in the canteen is like this!
The sofa was half angry again: You are talking about the snot niper who fed Wuhou vegetable porridge! Second brother, you not only hurt my innocent young man's heart, but also wiped out my appetite. My stomach is spasming in my stomach and writhing cursing you!
Liao Hua was speechless, it was hard to imagine that a fat man of 1.62 meters and weighing 222 pounds would establish a connection with an innocent young man's heart.
After pausing for a moment, Liao Hua secretly blamed himself: Liao Hua, you have lost your heart again, and you can't discriminate against fat people. It doesn't matter if he's your brother or not.
However, Liao Hua glanced at the belly of the sofa again, thinking about the big stomach that cursed him, and still felt that he couldn't let the sofa be angry.
Liao Hua: You're not eating?
Sofa: Don't eat, I'll wash my face, let's go to Jingshi and watch my sister, and keep my stomach for a good meal.
So the brothers simply cleaned up and happily went to Xilianghe Station to catch the train.
There was nothing to say all the way, two or three miles away, and the two brothers arrived in ten minutes.
When they arrived, the brothers were taken aback, and many school acquaintances sat under the reed shed outside the station to drink tea!
The couch asked for a bowl of tea. Ask: Why are you still here? Didn't catch the bus?
Xiong Xiong told them: When they came in the morning, the train from Tanggu hit and killed a gangster who was lying on the track, and as a result, the other gangsters beat up the driver of the horse-drawn carriage of the rail bureau.
Seeing that Liao Hua was coming, Tie Shou hurriedly greeted: Da Hari, it's just in time, I just wanted to discuss with you about the black pottery of Dawenkou.
Liao Huazheng didn't know how to answer, but the ticket inspector at the rail station saved him in a hurry: the one who went to Jingzhao South Station was ready to line up to get on the train!
Liao Hua was relieved and hurriedly surrendered his hand to quit the teahouse.
Iron Hand has a block in his chest at the moment, and he doesn't vomit or feel unhappy. hurriedly stepped forward to shake Liao Hua's hand. Both of them were a little anxious, and the iron hand went directly to grab Liao Hua's wrist, and Liao Hua subconsciously used the police grappling hand, reversed his wrist, and grabbed the elbow of the iron hand. Tie Shou took half a step back, and as soon as he pulled open the shelf, the two of them woke up at the same time, Tie Shou couldn't help laughing, and Liao Hua was quite embarrassed.
Tie Shou smiled for a while: Go to catch the car first, and come back tomorrow, I should also arrive in Hangzhou before tomorrow.
The couch followed out and went to the line.
Hei San shouted from behind: You drank Lao Tie's tea, and one person brought a brick at the door!
The two of them didn't know why, and when they saw someone talking, they subconsciously took the brick first, and then looked at Hei San suspiciously.
Hei San asked: What use do you plan to send when you take the bricks?
Hei San's voice was very loud, and Lao Tie and many people in the teahouse looked at it.
Liao Hua was inexplicable and shook his head!
The sofa is a wonderful person, smiling: get the pear orchard, tiptoe, otherwise people will block it, and you can't see those lovely sisters!
Hei San smiled and waved his hand, told the brothers to go quickly, and turned back to the iron hand: Your brick has one more use!
Iron Hand smiled: It's good to have a little use!
The two brothers lined up to get on the bus, Xilianghe is a small station, except for the days when Beijing West College was on vacation, the bus stopped very few. If you want to have a cheap fare, there is only a commuter train of the rail bureau, and there are two round-trips from Jingzhao South Station to Tanggu Station every day, because you need to avoid it, so the point is very inaccurate, so you don't take out the ticket. Western Beijing College has some ties to the rail bureau and has a rail department, so students can also take the train, get on the train and buy tickets.
The carriages are old, windowless, and have no seats in them, only benches against the walls.
Liao Hua sat down on the sofa, except for a few alumni of the Department of Economics, next to them were the off-duty workers of the Railway Bureau and the family members who went shopping in Beijing.
After sitting for a long time, the car was not delivered, and no one collected money to sell tickets. Liaohua sofa is a little anxious, it's late, and it doesn't leave yet!
The ticket seller came in, it was dark in the car, and he couldn't see it for a while, but just asked loudly: Is there anyone who can mentally calculate and measure speed and distance while traveling?
No one answered, and most of the workers who were off duty were maintenance workers, and this was the technical work of the driver's door.
Ticket sellers in a hurry: Are there any students from Jingxi?
Liao Hua stood up: I can measure speed and distance, but I am not from the track system and can't drive.
The couch also stood up: I can drive!, I can't measure distances, and I don't have a track system.
The ticket seller is very happy: very good, three stinkers rushed to Zhuge Liang, get on the front of the car, pay half a day's salary according to the temporary worker, go to Jingzhao South Station to give you a white strip, and settle the settlement at this station tomorrow.
The two brothers got out of the car with the ticket seller, and another stink was waiting for them. The poor fellow, with his head bandaged, showed only one eye, and a splint on one arm, hanging from his neck.
The ticket seller said: One will measure the distance, and the other will catch the car, so you can discuss it quickly. I'm going to ask them to lift your sub-rack onto the carriage.
The driver squinted at the two of them, and casually pointed forward to a boat in the West Canal in the distance on the right: How many meters away from us? Liao Hua held the three-dimensional ranging of the front of the car, and reported the number: At one o'clock, 750 meters, the mast top flag is higher than us.1 5 meters.
The driver nodded and looked at the sofa again. The couch tightened the reins and set the four horses' post ropes. With his hands on his sleeves, the whites of his eyes are facing the sky.
The ticket seller carried the person into the car, did not pull the bell to warn, but ran over again: Hurry up, otherwise you have to avoid it again!
The driver shouted at Liao Huayi: Blow the trumpet! Liao Hua blew the trumpet, the deputy worker of the station picked up the non-slip blocking wood, the sofa shook the reins, the four horses moved forward, the rail car slowly accelerated, left the station, and walked towards Jingzhao.
The train started, the four horses kicked and staggered forward, and the commuter car had only two cars with the front of the car. Four horses pull up effortlessly.
Liao Hua began to measure the speed. The driver saw that he was going to get the rangefinder. Tell him directly, don't be so laborious, along the track, every 50 meters, there is a wooden pole, one is used to mark the location, the other is to mark the height difference, the third is used for foggy days, hanging lights at night, and there will be some other uses in the future. Liao Hua only needs to look at the pendulum clock, note the time difference between the two rods, and divide it. On normal trains, you don't even need to divide, there is a table directly. When the old driver is sunny, he doesn't look at it, and the rough estimate is not much worse.
This Liao Hua can save trouble, the sofa control speed is 10 a moment, the horse runs unhurriedly, and the bell all the way is very pleasant. The ticket seller climbed out of the car, got into the back box of the front of the car, and stuck his head into the cab: good run, just get it! Don't stop all the way!
The driver in Baotou asked him: What happened to Xiaofu?
The ticket seller said: I can't die! I went to Beijing, sent him to an orthopedic doctor, put on a plaster, and lay down for three months! Anyway, it was a work injury! It didn't matter.
The ticket seller took a look, and when he climbed back to the back box from the outside, and passed by the smaller maintenance station, he opened the carriage, and the workers on the ground ran directly, grabbed the handle outside the door, and jumped into the box.
The driver at the front of the car chatted with Liao Hua. When he saw that the brothers were particularly interested in his head, he told him why. This morning, he, the sub-rack and the old money who sold tickets, went from Tanggu to Jingzhao. When they were about to cross the Tanggu boundary, a gangster jumped into the car and asked them to pull a dozen gangsters and turn around and go to Tanggu, where they were going to Tanggu to attend the opening ceremony of a big money village. When the driver said this, he took a sip: When we are in a carriage, we will turn around when we say U-turn.
When the gangsters saw that they didn't stop, one of them ran fast, ran to the front, and lay on the rails. At that time, the driver was also angry: bullying us was a commuter car, the body was light, and he couldn't be killed. So I added two more lashes, and I pressed it over, and as a result, the thug died miserably, and the car stopped.
The gangsters were in a hurry, came up and pulled down the driver and the auxiliary frame to fight, the old money who sold tickets saw that things were not good, jumped out of the car and ran two miles, called the people of Xilianghe Station to help, the people from the road police station arrived first on horseback, and rescued the two, the driver was broken an arm, the auxiliary frame was broken a leg, and the bruises on the head and body could not be counted. The people from Xilianghe Station arrived and fought with the gangsters again. The township police of the Tanggu Public Security Bureau came slowly, and after they came, everyone talked about the numbers. reported to the official, the local government and the rail bureau are difficult to handle, the gangsters and drivers can't do well, the gangsters have to go to prison, and the drivers have to smash their jobs. The road police and the township police are the middlemen, and the rail bureau will accompany the deceased according to the accident 20 silver dollars, and the rest of the personal medical expenses will be borne by themselves. The gangsters didn't do it, and in the end, the township police and road police communicated for a while, and they lost 60 silver dollars. How to distribute it, how to commission the township police, the gangsters discussed it themselves. That's the end of it.
The journey was very smooth, arrived at Jingzhao South Station, got off the car, Lao Qian first placed the injured driver and the auxiliary frame, and then went to the South Station account room to open a white slip to Liao Hua sofa, telling them that the track bureau money is very tight, and it will take two days to complete the account, and then go to collect the money. When he received the money, he said that he was a migrant worker, and the people in the account did not dare to default!
Out of the station, it is the front door, enter the front door, first to the west, then to the north, to the west of the inner city. There are not many yamen in Xicheng, but the scenery is good, and most of the nobles live here, and most of the portals are extremely large. The sofa pointed to the east: Second brother, look at Xihua Gate!
Liao Hua rarely entered Beijing, saw the open palace of the princes in the city, and saw the majestic high-rise buildings of the palace city, and his heart was cold, and a cool spirit spread from his heart into his limbs and head. The breeze blew, and the midday sun shone on the tips of his fluttering hair.
