Chapter 137: The Train Driver
When the news of the arrival of the zombies reached Shuangying Mountain, Li Yeping was leading three or five people to dig coal in the Chengnan Coal Mine.
"Stationmaster, be careful, your waist is sick." A man about thirty years old couldn't see the soot on his face, and passed by Li Yeping and said.
"It's been good for a long time, what's wrong, it's not a living person." Li Yeping is fifty-two years old this year, and if it weren't for her livelihood, she wouldn't have come here to work.
Li Yeping put a basket of large pieces of coal on the big name next to the coal truck, and said: "It's all said, don't call me the stationmaster, call aunt, your kid is only nine out of twenty this year, and aunt Sheng won't suffer." β
The person in charge of recording said: "No. 0172, 120 pounds." β
Li Yeping nodded, put the basket on the coal cart, then took off the homemade strap from the basket, loaded it on the empty basket on the side, and walked back.
"No. 0166, 140 pounds."
The 29-year-old man next to him finished weighing and followed Li Yeping back.
The two entered the pit, and the people inside said: "The texture of the coal mine here is getting harder and harder, and this mine is about to dry up." β
"When the mine dries up, let's change to another job, if it weren't for the high salary of this job, whoever does this would be as black as a briquette every day."
Li Yeping said with a guilty face: "It's me Li Yeping who has no ability, and I can't let you find a good job." β
"The stationmaster said that this is boring, we are all willing to follow you, work with you, we have the backbone, this world is not together, people can't live, you are our backbone, don't look at Xiao Wang They found other jobs and left, if you want to say that the stationmaster you have something to say, they can come back regardless of what, why? It's the stationmaster, you are benevolent! Which of our families has not received your favor before? If it weren't for you, the stationmaster, we stinky drivers would have been driven home by Sun Dezhi's bastard! β
"That is, Sun Dezhi climbed to the top of the branch and became a small official in the Civil Bureau, the cow is not good, when did he think about us? Don't talk about us, let's just talk about Zhou Shancang, how many things did he do for Sun Dezhi? In the end, didn't Sun Dezhi just ignore him and let him starve to death? In this world, if you can care about other people, my Lao Cai will follow. β
Three or five train drivers were mining while talking about people and things in the past.
Li Yeping doesn't look like an older woman, but the unique free and easy energy of Northeast women is very talkative.
She also likes to chat with these old brothers, find a point of vent together, scold, and work not only fast time, but also not particularly tired.
A large tricycle drove out of Shuangying Mountain and came to this small coal mine two kilometers away from the south gate of Shuangying Mountain.
"Where's the man?" A soldier-like man stopped them with a gun and pointed to the fence where idlers were not allowed to enter.
The leader took out a gold coin from his pocket, slapped it directly on the person's hand and said, "Brother, I'll find Li Yeping, it's convenient." β
The soldier opened his palm and looked at it, and immediately raised his eyebrows with joy, and said, "Li Datou!" It's hard currency, okay, you'll be there. β
The soldier glanced at it and said, "Li Yeping is a squad leader, we don't know what mine she is in now, over there, there is a washing place over there, Li Yeping's daughter Bao Xiaomei should be there, she knows where his mother is." β
"Thank you, brother."
Seeing the four of them walk straight in, he instructed: "This coal mine is not a forbidden place, but don't make trouble. β
"Understand, we're just looking for a few people, and we won't cause trouble."
When I walked over and looked, I saw four or five people squatting next to a well, washing clothes like a hill, and there was a waste water pool next to it, and the faΓ§ade was as black as ink, and I was disgusted to look at.
"Bao Xiaomei! Which is Bao Xiaomei! A man shouted.
A girl in her twenties stood up, she had a few underworld marks on her face, but her appearance could still be seen, she was very delicate, and she looked like a good girl.
"I am, you're looking for me?"
The leader said, "Don't be afraid, it's a good thing, we're looking for your mother, can you take us to her." β
"What are you looking for her?"
The girl was quite vigilant, and the man smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have a good job for your mother, better than digging coal." β
"Errands? My mom only drives trains. β
The man whispered, "Don't make a noise, just drive the train, let's go, you also want your mother to leave this dirty and dangerous place." β
"Eun, here, my mother and their class are all on the fourth hole."
Li Yeping was chatting with such an old colleague while digging coal, when a voice came in.
"Mom! Where are you? β
Li Yeping frowned, put her hand to her mouth, and the people around her stopped talking, Li Yeping said: "Here, Xiaomei!" β
Soon, Xiaomei, who was wearing a floral shirt, walked into the depths of the mine with four men, and saw that there were six or seven people inside, led by an elderly woman who didn't look very thin, but they were all too dark to see their appearance.
"You are Li Yeping? Ms. Li Yeping, the former deputy director of Pingzhou Railway Station? β
"Yes, I am, you are?" Li Yeping is not as cautious as her daughter, she is an old woman who mines, is it still worth being calculated by others.
The man at the head said: "We are from the Qinglin Government Affairs Department, we want to find a group of train drivers, after inquiry, it is not necessarily you who have the best train skills in Shuangying Mountain, but you are the only one who can find the most qualified train drivers in a short period of time." β
Li Yeping said with a puzzled face: "It's not an exaggeration, but what do you want the train driver to do, don't talk about the tram now, even if it's an internal combustion engine train, it can't move." β
The man picked up a piece of coal, shook it in his hand, and said, "What if it's a steam train?" β
"That's moving." As soon as Li Yeping finished speaking, he said in surprise: "You have a steam locomotive!" β
The man whispered: "Don't make a noise, we do have a steam locomotive, how about it, come or not, go back to your old job, we need a lot of people, can you find it?" β
Li Yeping felt the caution of these people, heard what this person said, pointed around, and said: "These are all train drivers, don't dare to say anything else, you have to find a train driver, give me two hours, I can find out all the train drivers in Shuangying Mountain for you!" β
Li Yeping is not only a veteran deputy stationmaster, but also once served as the vice principal of the railway school.
"That's good! You come with me now, don't say anything else, this. The man took out a gold coin, and now this thing is better than Qinglin in Shuangying Mountain.
"You can use whatever you want."
