"Sit down, sit down, why haven't you seen you for a few days, so you're polite!"

As soon as Wu Laosan entered the room, he saw Li Tieguo standing up, so he waved his hand with a smile and motioned for Li Tieguo to sit down, and the reason why Li Tieguo stood up was indeed not because of politeness, but curiosity.

"Why are you here?"

Li Tieguo sat on the bed, puzzled, reasonable, to say that Wu Laosan came to work overtime with an injury, Li Tieguo himself didn't believe it, after all, Wu Laosan's injury was not light, even if there was nothing to do now, but he still had to go to the hospital to change the dressing, and he couldn't be tired.

"Why didn't I carry you to the hospital a few days ago, would you be able to be good now? Let's see how you're recovering, no? ”

Wu Laosan saw Li Tieguo come up with some questions, so he felt a little unhappy, and Li Tieguo didn't mean it, he just didn't understand it, especially after Wu Laosan just finished saying this, Li Tieguo was even more confused, and came to see him? This is not Wu Laosan's style, where is he so enthusiastic, and the two old men, it's not a big deal, no...

"Angkor, if nothing happens to me, I'll go out first!"

Li Tieguo saw Wu Laosan's words at this time, except for joking, it didn't seem like he was coming to him, so he smiled and planned to go to a two-story building.

"Wait, wait, wait!"

"Huh?"

Li Tieguo was just about to walk out of the door, but was stopped by Wu Laosan, so Li Tieguo stood still, turned around and was stunned for a moment, at this time Wu Laosan seemed to have some hesitation between his eyebrows, and thought,

"Xiaoguo, if my brother has something to ask you, can you help my brother?"

Wu Laosan paused for about half a minute, then raised his head and asked with a solemn face, looking a little different from usual,

And Li Tieguo stood in place when he heard this, looking at Wu Laosan's appearance, frowning, he seemed to be a little overwhelmed, he didn't know how to answer, and he couldn't imagine that Wu Laosan would have something to ask him, you must know that it is usually Wu Laosan who helps Li Tieguo, and now...

"Wu, Angkor, what's the matter? How else can I help you? ”

Li Tieguo held back for about ten seconds, and then asked, his expression was also a little confused,

"Small country, you also know that the bricks in the brick factory are in short supply now, and it is not easy for individuals to buy them!"

"The stove pit in my house collapsed some time ago, and I want to renovate it!"

"You use the remaining broken bricks to lay the foundation, I want to order, of course I don't take it for nothing, I pay the money, according to the original price, not a lot, wait for you to go to the brick factory in a few days, explain the situation to them, and give them the money!"

Wu Laosan said as he looked at Li Tieguo, it seemed that those broken bricks were really useful to him, and Li Tieguo would listen to Wu Laosan's words, and after listening to Wu Laosan's words, he stood in place and looked at Wu Laosan, his expression became more and more gloomy, and even a little stern,

"No way!"

After more than ten seconds, Li Tieguo and Wu Laosan looked at each other, then shook their heads, didn't say anything more, and planned to go out directly, and Wu Laosan saw Li Tieguo's reaction this time, and there was no room for maneuver, so his expression was suddenly a little embarrassed and angry,

"Li Tieguo, what do you mean! I'm not asking for it for nothing, I spent money to buy it, and I bought the remaining broken bricks, so it shouldn't be worth much, and the rest is useless! ”

"That's not going to work either!"

Wu Laosan glared angrily and looked at Li Tieguo's face, and Li Tieguo turned around and shook his head again, his expression was firm and non-negotiable,

"Why not? Tell the people in the brick factory that you are not allowed to buy even the remaining broken bricks? ”

Seeing Li Tieguo's appearance, Wu Laosan took a big breath, and questioned Li Tieguo with a look of incomprehension, and Li Tieguo would stand in place, looking at Wu Laosan's appearance, swallowed his saliva, and bit his mouth,

"This is approved by the government, how can you buy and sell it yourself? Brick factories don't have this right either! Besides, the broken bricks are pulled back to the brick factory, and they can continue to be fired, which is no different from the whole brick! ”

At this moment, Li Tieguo is actually very embarrassed in his heart, although Wu Laosan usually scolds him, but he really helps him when there is something.

And since he came to the maintenance depot, it has always been Wu Laosan with him, if it weren't for Wu Laosan always giggling all day long, no shape, and he didn't care about the title, and said that the party members are comrades, it stands to reason that Li Tieguo should be called Master Wu Laosan, not to mention that he and Wu Laosan also had the experience of going to life and death together, so Wu Laosan asked him for something for the first time, and he ......

"Li Tieguo!"

"Do you still have a conscience?"

"Don't you know who I am? Am I the kind of person who appropriates public property? Isn't that what you have leftover! And I still spend money on it! ”

Wu Laosan's face was red by Li Tieguo's words, and he was even a little nervous, but in fact, Wu Laosan felt that he was above board, he didn't take things for nothing, and he didn't occupy public materials, just borrowed light to buy some leftover broken bricks.

"No just no way! As long as it's a public thing, you can't keep it for yourself! It's not okay to spend money! ”

Li Tieguo can also see that Wu Laosan is really annoyed, but he, Li Tieguo, is not a person who will compromise on this kind of thing, so he is also firm-eyed, biting his mouth, with a clear attitude, and he doesn't give a chance at all.

"What do you mean to keep for yourself? Li Tieguo, you speak to me well, come, tell me, how did I take it for myself, what did I take for myself? ”

After Wu Laosan heard Li Tieguo say that he took it for himself, his eyes suddenly turned red with anger, and he pointed at Li Tieguo with anger on his face, and asked Li Tieguo to give him an explanation.

And Li Tieguo was pulled by Wu Laosan like this, looking at Wu Laosan being angry with himself, it seemed that he wanted to eat people, so Li Tieguo was not afraid at all, but in his heart, it was very uncomfortable,

It's been a few years since he came to the maintenance section, and it's the first time he has seen Wu Laosan so angry, so he didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't go back, he just looked at Wu Laosan, and his expression said it all.

"I just want some broken bricks, isn't the bricks produced by the brick factory also for civilian use, isn't it that bricks are in demand now, it's not easy to buy, I want this, and I still buy it at the original price!"

Wu Laosan saw that Li Tieguo didn't speak for a long time, and he also knew that he was rejecting him in this way, and he also knew Li Tieguo, if this matter was changed to someone else asking Li Tieguo like this, Li Tieguo would have been anxious for a long time, and he even had to scold people, but Li Tieguo didn't dare to treat him, and second, he didn't want to, and he didn't dare and didn't want to do that.

"I'm sorry, Angkor, this matter, no!"

Li Tieguo saw that after Wu Laosan finished speaking, he had been waiting for him to reply, so he looked at it directly, shook his head, and looked the same as before, not allowing the slightest negotiation.

"I know, I know, pull to pull, you can do your own in the future, I will send you a last word, Li Tieguo, you are a person, there is no human touch at all, think about how I treated you before!"

Wu Laosan looked at Li Tieguo's firm face, and knew that he had said it in vain for a long time, except for being choked by Li Tieguo, everything was in vain, so Wu Laosan's heart was very low, he thought that Li Tieguo would not agree before he came, but he didn't expect that he would not give him face so much, and he didn't even give him a little leeway, even if he said that he would help him some on the face, it was said in the past, such a stern refusal, Wu Laosan really didn't expect it, unexpected, but it was reasonable,

And Li Tieguo heard Wu Laosan say this about himself at this time, and suddenly his eyes were a little red, but in the end, he just swallowed his saliva, turned around and went out.

And Wu Laosan saw that before Li Tieguo went out, he looked at himself, very pitiful, as if he was very sad, but he couldn't do anything, he was very aggrieved, and he was also very cowardly, he wanted to say something, but he wanted to say something, he wanted to defend himself, but he had nothing to say, so Wu Laosan, who was standing in the room, blinked his eyes, licked his lips, and seemed to be thinking about something, feeling that what he just said seemed to be a little too much, and a little too excited.

And Li Tieguo, who came out of the dormitory, ran to the warehouse in the yard, looked at the sky, gritted his teeth, frowned, wiped his eyes, and looked like he was extremely angry, but he had no way to say it, so he could only grit his teeth and press the fire himself, half an hour later, Li Tieguo came out of the warehouse, went to the second-story building, and knocked on the door of the Duan leader's house,

"Come, little country!"

Secretary Ge saw Li Tieguo coming, so he beckoned and asked Li Tieguo to come in and sit down, but Li Tieguo didn't sit down after entering, he stood directly in front of Secretary Ge and took out his notebook.

"Secretary Ge, after the foundation is laid, we have to find a way to customize the steel, and we also need the engine, chain belt, etc.!"

Li Tie's Chinese was a little low, but he also said that he had been preparing for a long time, and in fact, during the week when Li Tieguo went to the Shencheng Railway Bureau for a meeting, he not only pondered for a long time, but also went to other sections to ask, which can be regarded as fully prepared.

"Well, the power of the engine, the width of the chain belt, etc., you have already calculated it!"

"It's all on this book, Secretary Ge!"

Secretary Ge saw that Li Tieguo's mood was not high today, and he didn't know what was wrong with him, but he didn't ask, after all, everyone has a good mood or a bad mood, not to mention that he is a child who has just turned twenty.

"Okay, then I'll take a look, and then wait for Duan Chang to come back and have a meeting together, study it, if you can, apply as soon as possible!"

Secretary Ge took Li Tieguo's notebook, looked at it a few times, then nodded and smiled, and Li Tieguo also nodded when he saw this, and then asked Secretary Ge if there was anything else to report, Secretary Ge shook his head and said that Li Tieguo would just wait for the news, and then Li Tieguo went back when he heard the words.

And when Li Tieguo returned to the dormitory again, Wu Laosan had already left, so Li Tieguo lay on the bed by himself, biting his mouth, unwilling to think about anything more, but he was still upset, he wanted to go to Wu Laosan again to talk and explain, but he felt that he had nothing to explain.

And after Wu Laosan returned home, his daughter-in-law asked him how he was, what Xiaoguo said, Wu Laosan shook his head, and said that Li Tieguo is Li Tieguo after all, and has his own principles, and this kind of thing is not negotiable, so Wu Laosan's daughter-in-law smiled when she heard this, and said that Wu Laosan was redundant to find Xiaoguo, what kind of character Xiaoguo was, she knew it, it was too real, how could he agree to this kind of public thing,

and also persuaded Wu Laosan not to be angry with other children, but Wu Laosan lowered his head, held a cigarette, and was expressionless, saying that he was not angry because of this, but Li Tieguo's stinky boy's attitude, which was too uncomfortable, after all, he was also brought over by himself, and the skills and experience of driving a train were all taught by himself, why don't you know how to respect the teacher, even if you don't agree in your heart, then you have to give some face, where is it a basin of cold water,

The next day, after Li Tieguo got up, he didn't wash his face, he thought about it all night last night, so early this morning, Li Tieguo went directly to the brick factory, and pulled the remaining small car of broken bricks and cement.

After arriving at the brick factory, as soon as Li Tieguo entered the door, he went to find the director of the brick factory.

"Hello Leader! I'm a ...... in the depot."

"I know, I know you, I've seen you before, excellent train driver Li Tieguo, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea went to you, right!"

As soon as the director of the brick factory saw that it was Li Tieguo who came in, he stood up and smiled, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and then Li Tieguo quickly stretched out his hand and shook it.

"What's the matter, just say it, we don't need to be too polite between us!"

After the director of the brick factory shook hands with Li Tieguo, he sat down, and looked at Li Tieguo with enthusiasm.

And Li Tieguo stood in front of the director, licked his lips, and looked a little hesitant, but after a few seconds, he also spoke,

"Leader, I have never bought bricks in a brick factory before, I need some bricks to cover things these days, you see, can you give me a little?"

Before Li Tieguo came, he had a long time in his heart, although he really didn't want to come, and he didn't want to say such things, but when he thought of Wu Laosan's disappointed and angry face after he rejected him yesterday, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Perhaps, he also felt that he was indeed as Wu Laosan said, too impersonal, and it was this sentence that deeply hurt his heart and made him reflect on one thing, he usually has no big or small relationship with Wu Laosan.

But Wu Laosan is indeed kind to him, and people know that he is retribution, but he really has no way to break the bricks.

Because everyone has their own beliefs, and they all live by faith, and Li Tieguo's belief is the Communist Party, that is, communism, and he will never allow himself to have any behavior that harms the Communist Party, so in desperation, Li Tieguo can only have such a choice, that is, he will buy it, after all, he has never received or bought a brick in the country, and he is alone, and he really does not need it.

"Leader, I promise, I, Li Tieguo, will do this once in my life, you see, is it okay?"

After Li Tieguo finished saying what he said just now, he saw that the leader was silent and didn't answer him for a long time, so Li Tieguo raised his hand and swore an oath, his eyes were full of sincerity and persistence, it seemed that in order to receive bricks this time, he was willing not to build a house for the rest of his life.

"The bricks in the brickyard are very nervous right now, and I'm sure you know that!"

"But since you also said it, you have never received or bought bricks, and you don't even have a place to live except for the dormitory now! Look at you like this, you are ready to build a wedding room! ”

The director of the brick factory looked at Li Tieguo's sworn appearance, lowered his head, opened the notepad in his hand and looked at it, then turned his head and looked out of the window, frowned, and after thinking for a while, he looked up at Li Tieguo with a slight smile, as if just now, the director had already done an ideological struggle in his heart, so after speaking a few words, he asked Li Tieguo if he planned to build a wedding house with a somewhat puzzled tone.

And Li Tieguo's face became more and more red after listening to the director's words, but after a few seconds, Li Tieguo finally nodded, he rarely lied since he was a child, and basically didn't tell lies, especially in front of the leader, but this time, he acquiesced, although he was also very uncomfortable in his heart,

"That's okay, it's excusable, you go back to your leader to write an application first, and I'll go to the secretary of our factory to discuss it, and it should be approved for you!"

"But you have to remember, just this time, you said it yourself, and there will be no such thing in the future! Now the country is developing industry, three major transformations, and there is no need for bricks for construction! ”

The director of the brick factory nodded while holding his hands, and his expression became more and more serious as he spoke, as he seemed to want to tell Li Tieguo that this time he went to the secretary to talk about it, which could be regarded as taking care of him!
