Chapter 72: Tong Yingwan Comes (The Finale)
"Why don't I go in and have a look!"
Just when everyone stopped talking and the scene was very embarrassing, Li Tieguo tilted his head sideways, looked at the trembling and smoking locomotive, and spoke, he didn't say that he wanted to be a hero, but he was indeed responsible for overhauling this aspect, out of responsibility for the property of the people in the non-domain, he should go up to take a look, but this is only should, not obligation, he came to technical assistance, not to come here for disaster relief, so he stood up, it was bravery, friendship, not that he had to do it,
"It's not okay, it's too dangerous, and it's not your or mine's responsibility!"
The team leader saw that Li Tieguo had spoken, so he gave him a look, and then shook his head, and didn't seem to agree with him to go up.
"If the locomotive is really scrapped, we will be ashamed of this trip!"
Li Tieguo smiled faintly, and then raised his legs and walked to the locomotive not far in front, and what he said was also reasonable, technical assistance, but the locomotive accident could not be solved, although there is no responsibility, but it makes people laugh, and it also makes the non-domain workers who learn them these days not believe them, then their trip will be in vain, people don't believe in their technology, then it will be in vain,
"Stay safe!"
The team leader saw that Li Tieguo had already walked towards the locomotive, so he didn't stop it anymore, after all, what Li Tieguo said, everyone had already thought of it in their hearts, and they all felt helpless and helpless because of this, and Li Tieguo's coming forward, although it was dangerous, was very meaningful, and even said that it was a little great.
A heat wave mixed with the smell of diesel came to his face, Li Tieguo just stepped into the front of the car, and soon called it was stained with overflowing diesel water, and then Li Tieguo was stunned for a moment, in fact, he was a little hesitant, after all, the situation was worse than he imagined, but since he had come to this point, it was impossible to go back, and when he walked into the diesel engine and opened the diesel engine cover, he stood motionless, and the Chinese engineers who would come with Li Tieguo also followed, but did not enter the train skin, Just standing outside and watching what's going on inside, and they're stupid.
At this moment, the diesel engine fuel pipeline is broken, and then the diesel engine pump is burned red because there is no diesel, and the big iron sheet is smoking.
"Pull the gate?"
Li Tieguo looked at the situation in front of him, the best and most reasonable way is to turn off the diesel engine, but... At the moment when the diesel engine is closed, it is easy to generate electricity by manually pulling off the electronic gate, if it is usually operated directly in the locomotive control room, but now it is obvious that the closing gate of the diesel engine has long been burned out, and the brake can only be manually pulled in the diesel engine, but now the wagon is full of diesel, and a little electric spark comes out, and the wagon will become a fire, Li Tieguo will already be covered with diesel oil, let alone run, he will wait for the burnt on the spot.
"Li Tieguo, hurry up and come out first, we don't care about this situation!"
The person who pulled Li Tieguo just now has a very good relationship with Li Tieguo, so everyone knows that it is better to come out and ignore it, and Li Tieguo will stand still and look at the situation and hesitate, especially after he thinks of Xu Fangling and the child, he feels that he should not take risks, but as an engineer who came to technical support, seeing that the property of the non-domain people is in danger, he has a chance to stop it, and he has an invisible sense of responsibility and mission, which makes him feel that he should reach out and solve this problem. Even if it's not something they made,
"I'll check the circuit, and then I'll see if it's right near the gate, if it's not dangerous, I'll pull it!"
Li Tieguo will not do anything reckless at this age, so he is very cautious, turned around and looked around the diesel engine shut-off, and then the aluminum around the shut-off was a little worn, it seemed to be a little dangerous, but Li Tieguo did not turn around because of this, but stood in place and squinted his eyes and thought about it for a few seconds, and then shouted to the outside that the shut-off was in good condition, there would be no friction and electric discharge, he was going to pull the brake to turn off the diesel engine,
And the Chinese who will stand outside do not know the real situation inside, so they are some happy and some pray, and Li Tieguo will take off his clothes and wipe the sweat on his hands The position of the diesel engine shut-off gate, after ensuring that there is basically no diesel, he turned his head, his mind was blank, a momentum, a hand pulled, the gate handrail came down, the next second the whole wagon no longer trembled, the noise almost disappeared, and Li Tieguo would stare at the side with big eyes, looking at the side, it seemed that he was also terrified just now, After all, although this kind of thing is not very risky, once it is a little bit of a fire, it will be a big deal, and he wants to come out of it again.
A few seconds later, Li Tieguo calmed down, and his calves and stomach, which were originally trembling, would not tremble.
"Tell the leader of the non-domain, in the future, the Americans will buy it when they are optimistic, that Yankee must know the situation of this diesel engine, and there is no good thing!"
Li Tieguo is also a person who came down from the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, so he has no good impression of the Americans in his bones, and this will make him even more indignant, after finishing speaking, he turned around and left, but then soon the Chinese translator caught up, and then said that the leader of the non-domain had something to say to him,
Ten seconds later, Li Tieguo and the leader of the non-domain sat in the room, and then Li Tieguo was a little confused, I don't know why this big old black only looked for him, and the other Chinese were not present,
A few seconds later, Da Lao Hei said a lot, and then the translator told Li Tieguo after listening to it, saying that the non-domain leader was willing to pay a lot of money to let him stay in the non-domain as a technical guidance expert, which is a rare opportunity, and the annual salary is very high, and after Li Tieguo heard this, he immediately smiled, and his feelings were to keep him,
"My daughter-in-law and children are all in China, I can't stay here, thank you!"
Li Tieguo got up and smiled, said simply, turned around and was about to leave, and then the big old black had an opening, a lot of words, after finishing speaking, the translator told Li Tieguo, saying that technology and knowledge know no borders, and staying in the non-domain is also to engage in technology and knowledge, and they are willing to spend a lot of money to hire him, and after Li Tieguo listened to the words of the translator, he stood in place, looked at the big old black in the non-domain, and then looked at the translation, his face was slightly serious,
"Knowledge and technology really know no borders, but engineers who do knowledge and technology know no borders, just as scientists know no borders!"
The words landed, Li Tieguo turned around and went out, without any hesitation and stay, and soon after the accident, Li Tieguo and his party took the plane back, and after returning to China, because Li Tieguo's party generally performed well and completed the task very satisfactorily, Li Tieguo was promoted by the sub-bureau to be the chief engineer of the section, the deputy department level, and it is not a small middle-level leader.
And Li Tieguo was also very excited, and took the initiative to apply to go to school for re-education and training, and Li Tieguo's wife Xu Fangling was also very proud of him, and specially bought him a few new clothes, before that, Li Tieguo rarely changed clothes, after all, he didn't care about these things, and there were many places where the family needed money.
But not long after Li Tieguo was promoted to chief engineer, someone came to Duan to look for him, and there were many people who would look for Li Tieguo, so Li Tieguo asked who it was, if he didn't know much, he might let the security department ask to understand the meaning of the matter, and after the people from the security department told Li Tieguo that the person who came didn't say what he meant, only said that his name was Tong Yingwan, Li Tieguo sat on the chair and suddenly paused, as if his soul was touched, and then quickly got up and ran out, and waited until he reached the door. Soon he saw a woman in a purple gown looking at him,
"I haven't seen you in more than 20 years!"
After Tong Yingwan saw Li Tieguo, she walked over with a smile, her steps and posture looked like a rich woman, and Li Tieguo looked at the woman in front of her, wearing crimson lipstick, her face was fair, her facial features were still exquisite, and she didn't lose wrinkles at all, and she was a little dazed for a while, and she couldn't speak
"You've come all the way, aren't you going to treat me to something to eat?"
Tong Yingwan saw Li Tieguo stunned in place, and then covered his face with half a hand and smiled, and Li Tieguo immediately nodded when he heard this, saying that he could pick it casually, but the next second he reacted again, Tong Yingwan may be the first time to come to Jincheng, so he smiled awkwardly and said that he knew a good store, just in front, and Tong Yingwan nodded when he heard the words and followed him.
"Don't you wonder what I've done all these years?"
In a luxurious Chinese restaurant, Tong Yingwan put down the high-end backpack on her shoulder, tilted her head, and asked Li Tieguo,
"A woman as good as you must be doing great things!"
Li Tieguo looked at Tong Yingwan and was excited, but there was something unpleasant.
"Haha, as you said at the beginning, I really went to the countryside!"
"Huh? Go, go to work in the countryside? ”
Tong Yingwan smiled, but it was not difficult to see that it seemed to be a little bitter, and Li Tieguo was slightly surprised when he heard this, but he didn't show it too much.
"After graduating, I went to study in the Soviet Union, and when I came back, it was just in time for the Cultural Revolution and went to the countryside to learn about the youth!"
"Your wife should be fine!"
Tong Yingwan lowered her head and said a few words to herself, her voice changed, and she didn't seem to want to mention old things, and Li Tieguo frowned slightly when she heard the reality, and then smiled again, nodded, and said that his wife is very good now,
"Then the one in your family is also very good!"
"I'm not married, and now I'm still on my own!"
After Li Tieguo followed Tong Yingwan's words, he also asked her, but then Tong Yingwan's answer surprised Li Tieguo, according to the age gap between the two, Tong Yingwan is at least forty years old now, but she said that she is...
"I haven't thought about getting married when I was a young person, and I feel that it's too late to get married after the end of the young people, and my brother is taking care of me at home, and I don't have to get married, and I don't want to get married, now that the country has reformed and opened up, I go to the sea to do business, and the business is not bad, and I am very busy every day, and I feel that I don't need to get married!"
Tong Yingwan looked at Li Tieguo with a shocked and incomprehensible look, smiled faintly, and spoke very freely, looking at her expression without feeling anything at all, very calm,
"Don't have that pitiful expression, the people who have chased me since I was a child have lined up, and now it is no exception!"
Tong Yingwan saw that Li Tieguo still had an incomprehensible expression, so she raised her hand very elegantly, and said Li Tieguo with pride, and then Li Tieguo also smiled when he heard this, nodded casually but seemed to be joking,
"I've always had a question for you!"
More than ten seconds later, Li Tieguo also talked about his experiences and past over the years, but he was interrupted by Tong Yingwan as he spoke, and then Li Tieguo looked at her face, a little puzzled, as if he didn't know what Tong Yingwan wanted to ask,
"According to what you said in the letter you left, what would have happened if I had come to you back then?"
Tong Yingwan's expression was very serious and seemed to be a little dull, and Li Tieguo stopped talking after listening, and it seemed that he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't speak again after a long time,
"Don't talk about hypothetical things, it's not easy to meet, you're still here for the first time, I'll take you to the beach after eating, the scenery over there is quite beautiful, you ...... after seeing it."
"No need, I'm here to pass by, after seeing your old friend, I will have to go back by train in a while, there is a lot of business, time is tight, too busy!"
Li Tieguo smiled but was faintly depressed, and then he was interrupted by Tong Yingwan while he was talking, and after Tong Yingwan finished speaking, he shook his head and looked around, and after a few minutes, the two didn't say anything, so Tong Yingwan got up and carried her bag, and said to Li Tieguo with a smile that she had to catch the train, and she would talk next time, and Li Tieguo sat on the chair and quickly got up and said that she had to finish eating before leaving, but Tong Yingwan had already walked out of the dining table sideways, and then waved her hand,
"I'll tell you a secret, it's not the first time I've come to Jincheng!"
After speaking, Tong Yingwan turned around and walked out while laughing, and when she got outside, as she walked away, Li Tieguo stood at the door of the hotel, looking at her back, his expression became more and more bitter and nostalgic,
And Tong Yingwan will turn her back on her face and walk farther and farther, her face is gloomy but soon it will pass in an instant, she now remembers the time she came to Jincheng before, and saw the scene that made him unwilling, a woman like her may never bow her head, let alone let herself suffer a little grievance, although she is sad because of this, and even bruises all over her body,
And after Li Tieguo sent Tong Yingwan away, after he returned to Duanli, in the days to come, it was obvious that Tong Yingwan lied, she never came to Li Tieguo again, and Li Tieguo had new challenges in his work, participating in the research of high-speed railways and the training of drivers.
