Chapter Twenty-Three: A Good Teacher
"Oh, this is the friend I brought, this is ......"
"The surname is Gao, and his name is Zhizhi." How dare Gao Quan ask Lu You to introduce him as Shinyouemon? Now that the name has been exposed, the ghost knows whether the words Xinyouemon have reached Liu Wenxiu's ears, and Gao Quan doesn't want to take risks at all!
As soon as Gao Quan reported Gao Zhizhi's name here, Lu You next to him was immediately dumbfounded, how did this Japanese spy become Chinese? But then he found the answer for himself, this must be a fake name given by the Japanese agent to hide his identity! Liu Wenxiu, don't say anything inappropriate in front of this Japanese spy! Lu You began to worry about his old classmates again.
It's normal for Lu You's expression to be different, Gao Quan suddenly changed his name without saying hello to him, and it was not strange that Lu You's face changed without a little psychological preparation, but it was strange that when Miss An next to her heard Gao Quan's name Gao Zhi, her face also changed greatly, and the degree of horror was even greater than that of Lu You!
Gao Quan was talking to Liu Wenxiu, he snatched Lu You's words, so Gao Quan looked at Liu Wenxiu while paying attention to the change in Lu You's expression, it was already difficult for him to be dual-minded, and it was normal for him not to pay attention to Miss An standing next to him.
However, Gao Quan didn't pay attention, someone behind him paid attention, who? It's still Hong Yingying! Out of a woman's instinct, any woman who appears next to Gao Quan is the object of Hong Yingying's attention. The woman's expression was so strange for a moment, Hong Yingying's heart twitched suddenly. She thought of Wang Cuihua. The woman's expression also showed a slight abnormal change, and she was caught by Hong Yingying, and then Director Hong went smoothly, tortured to extract a confession, and caught a hidden traitor spy! Could it be that this Miss An is also a traitor spy? Hong Yingying couldn't help but keep her heart.
"It turned out to be the brother of the admonition." Liu Wenxiu arched his hand. Although it seems that he is older than Gao Quan, it is the rule of men to meet and call each other brother when they meet, as long as the age difference is not too big, they are generally called brother when they meet for the first time. For example, a man in his thirties and forties will definitely not call a boy of seven or eight years old his brother, and a young man will definitely not be able to call him brother when he sees an old man with a white beard. There are many worse names than those who are much worse in age, and they can't be called casually.
"Brother Wenxiu." Gao Quan also bowed his hand, "Today, Gao and Brother Lu came to visit Brother Wenxiu, just to understand some of the processes of train operation, Brother has a batch of goods ready to be transported to Xuzhou by rail, and wants to find Brother Wenxiu to help." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Liu Wenxiu was very bold, "Since you came with Lu You, then it's no problem!" As long as it's within my purview, it's fine! ”
"Wenxiu, you're not embarrassed, are you?" Seeing that Liu Wenxiu agreed so easily, Lu You began to worry about his old classmate again, in case there was a problem with Gaoquan's goods, wouldn't he hurt his old classmate?
"What's so hard about it? With so many wagons sent every day, who knows how many wagons I add to Rio? Yamada, the head of the station, has been in Linxiang all the year round, and he has been here twice in total for such a long time, and few people on the station know him. In addition to Yamada, the entire Yueyang Station is my brother, I have the final say, what's the big deal about adding some private goods to it? Don't worry, even if the Japanese know about it, they won't check my goods! Liu Wenxiu swore to his old classmates that he was able to consign, "When is it going to be consigned, just look for me, as long as I can arrange the wagon for you in half a day, and no one will check the goods all the way to Xuzhou, and I can help you find the unloading person at Xuzhou Station!" It's up to you whether it's today or another day. ”
"Well, I guess it's better to have another day." Liu Wenxiu is so bold, but Gao Quan is about to stop, where does he get the goods to be consigned now! "This, Stationmaster Liu must be an expert on the railway, I have a question that I don't understand and want to ask. I've been on a train and sometimes one track going straight has become two, and how does the train choose the right one from the two branches? I once looked closely at the wheels in front of the train, and they couldn't turn. I also asked other people involved in the railway, and I heard that there was a kind of worker called a wrenchman, and they did the train turning. But I still don't understand how this wrench does it, you know, the weight of the rails is very heavy, how can they make thousands of pounds of rails move alone? ”
At this time, Gao Quan was like a good student who was eager to study, staring at Liu Wenxiu with a pair of eyes full of curiosity.
Mencius said: The trouble of people is to be a good teacher. That means that the biggest ill of man is that he likes to be a teacher of others, and he likes to think of himself as a teacher. The famous sayings of the sages are always extensive, and we have seen countless people who know little about a certain matter, but always like to talk to others, as if they do not show their erudition, and if the listener shows admiration, the speaker will be very satisfied. This is a human instinct, a mental activity that everyone cannot avoid.
Liu Wenxiu is also an ordinary person, and of course he can't escape the outline of the sage Mencius. Hearing Gao Quan's words for advice, and seeing Gao Quan's appearance as a good student, Stationmaster Liu's instinct to be a good teacher in his heart was immediately stimulated!
"You're talking about the railroad track, which is also a turnout. There is a spring installed on the tip of the track at the fork, and the wrench worker uses a specific tool to force the track through the spring to make the rail move flat and connect with another section of rail, and the track that cannot pass is closed, so as to realize the lane change of the rail, and when the train comes, it will naturally turn in the direction of the track that can pass. However, the person who pulls the rails must be experienced railroad workers who know how to pull the switches. Which track leads to where, and which track has a train on it, and which track has no train, all of which must be calculated by the dispatcher of the station dispatch room to draw a conclusion, notify the wrencher, and then pull the switch as needed. You can't move it casually, if the turnout is wrong, it will be a big mess, and if you don't do it, it will be a tragedy of train derailment and car destruction! ”
It's not that Liu Wenxiu deliberately scares people, the wrench on the railway is indeed very important, and once the work goes wrong, it is a big mistake.
"Stationmaster Liu knows so much about the wrench, could it be that he has worked as a wrench worker before?"
"Hehe, my brother guessed correctly, I have been working in the Hankou Railway Bureau since I was eighteen years old, and I have been working as a wrench worker for ten years! I worked as a dispatcher for another five years, plus a few years as a small worker when I first came, so I have been working on the railway for almost 20 years! Liu Wenxiu checked with his fingers, his face was full of the vicissitudes of time.
"Yes, Wenxiu has worked on the railway for half his life! Fortunately, now that I have become a webmaster, I can be regarded as an achievement! Alas, by the way, how did you and Miss Ann meet? Speaking of which, Lu You remembered to ask about this Miss An.
