Chapter 395: A Grueling Journey
Looking at the pleading eyes of the stupid pillar, Li Ping'an still agreed, saying that he would help him find a way, and if he had the opportunity, he would help him pay attention to it.
Under the gratitude of Silly Zhu, Li Ping'an declined Silly Zhu's invitation to dinner in the evening on the grounds that he was about to go on a business trip.
After sending away the stupid pillar, Li Ping'an continued to wash diapers by the pool, and as soon as he finished washing and drying the diapers, he saw Zhang Daquan running in in a hurry.
"Section chief, the factory asked me to call you back, saying that I was going to leave soon, so you should arrive at the factory before 6 o'clock."
After sending Zhang Daquan out of the door, Li Ping'an hurriedly ran back to the house, ready to say goodbye to Ding Qiunan.
When Li Ping'an returned to the room, he saw that Ding Qiunan and his aunt had already begun to help him pack the luggage he needed for this business trip.
Time was very tight, and after the aunt went out, Li Ping'an took a good look at the child, gently hugged Ding Qiunan in his arms and comforted him a few words, then took the prepared luggage and quickly ran outside.
Now is the time to get off work, the road is full of workers who get off work, Li Ping'an went against the flow of people all the way, and arrived at the rolling mill at 5:55.
Coming to the transportation dispatch area of the rolling mill, the dispatching vehicles at this time were full of large vehicles, and hundreds of porters used various tools like ants to move the large boxes in the truck's cargo box to the train transportation car.
All the leaders of the factory are here, and they are all standing on the platform with a serious face, urging the workers to speed up.
Li Huaide saw that Li Ping'an had arrived, and hurriedly called Li Ping'an to his side and told him several times about the importance of this transportation.
After a brief look at the staffing of this transport, and found that there were no personnel from the security section to follow this transport, Li Ping'an was very puzzled by this, and asked Li Huaide his own questions: "Director, why is there no comrade escort from the security section for such an important transportation this time?" ”
"This time, the escort work was taken over by the comrades of the army, and they are already waiting at the train station for us to meet together," Li Huaide continued to urge the people around him to urge the progress of the transportation, and when he heard Li Ping'an's question, he replied casually.
Hearing this, Li Ping'an nodded, and did not continue to ask any other questions, it can be seen that the above transportation caught Li Huaide off guard, and now Li Huaide is anxious, so he should stay away and wait to get in the car and leave.
The transportation work was carried out very quickly under the urging of Li Huaide, and when all the carriages were closed and locked, Li Ping'an and other participants in the transportation were divided into two groups and got on the carriages one after the other.
Before getting into the car, Li Huaide handed over a briefcase stuffed with sealed files to Li Ping'an, without the slightest smile on his face, and instructed with a serious face: "Comrade Ping'an, this is the details and details of the items transported this time, the highest level of confidentiality, you must always pay attention to it, and you can't let this briefcase leave your sight."
After taking a deep look at Li Huaide, Li Ping'an solemnly took the briefcase from Li Huaide's hand, and made a solemn promise to Li Huaide: "Director Li, don't worry, people are in the bag, even if I sleep, I will stare at this document with a pair of eyes open."
After shaking hands with each other, Li Ping'an tightly grabbed the briefcase in his hand and turned around and got on the train.
After about 20 minutes on the tracks, the train stopped at a station, the door of the carriage was opened from the outside, and a team of heavily armed soldiers entered the carriage and invited Li Ping'an and others out of the carriage.
Under the guidance of the soldiers, Li Ping'an and the others came to a rest room with a large area, at this time there were already many people waiting in the room, Li Ping'an's group of people came in, and the people around them just glanced at them and then looked away from them.
After the soldier led Li Ping'an and the others to sit down, he said politely: "Comrade Li, this is the rest area of the rolling mill, you can rest here for a while, if you are hungry, there is prepared rice and hot water in front of you, you can enjoy it at will."
Looking at the dining car in front of him, Li Ping'an smiled at the soldiers who led them over: "Okay, I'm really troublesome to you, if anyone is hungry, we will take the initiative to go to dinner."
After arranging the position of Li Ping'an and his party, the soldiers did not stay long, and after saying a few polite words, they left Li Ping'an and the others and left the lounge directly.
After the soldiers left, he glanced at the twenty or so people sitting quietly around him, Li Ping'an whispered to the transport personnel of the rolling mill: "If anyone is hungry, go eat something, if you are not hungry, you can pack a lunch box, and along the way, it is estimated that we will not be able to eat any serious meals."
"How do you say that, the train doesn't stop along the way? Young people haven't been on a business trip a few times, have they? The train stops at every station, so how can you not eat and still pack? Do you think cold dishes and cold rice are delicious? A middle-aged man wearing glasses and a cadre uniform from another factory next to him smiled disdainfully after hearing Li Ping'an's words, and said sarcastically.
Glancing at the person who spoke, Li Ping'an did not pay attention to him, but urged his colleagues to act quickly.
Among these people in the rolling mill, Li Ping'an has the highest level, and he is also the person in charge of this transportation, although these people feel that what the person just said makes sense, the train stop naturally has a hot meal to eat, and now there is no need to pack meals, but they still got up and took out their lunch boxes from their bags and went to the dining car to pack them.
The action of a group of people lining up to pack lunch boxes naturally attracted the attention of the audience, and some of the flexibly minded transport personnel saw the people in the rolling mill packing lunch boxes, thought for a moment, and suddenly understood what was going on, and hurriedly took out their lunch boxes from their bags and joined the packing team.
By the time Li Ping'an led everyone to pack and sit down again, there was already a long queue of people waiting for packing on the side of the dining car.
"A bunch of fools, pack lunch boxes at this time, and when the train stops tomorrow, let you watch me eat hot meals and drool" The glasses that had just mocked Li Ping'an were mocking the crowd in line.
A colleague who was sitting in the same factory with glasses, looking at the long queue, couldn't help but whisper to glasses: "Section chief, why don't we go pack some meals too, what if the train doesn't stop behind?" ”
"What, you want to be a fool too? Don't stop yet, I see that your brain is also wrong, let's not be this fool, just wait for tomorrow to see their jokes" Glasses glared at the little clerk who made the suggestion, and scolded angrily.
was scolded by his section chief, the little clerk shrunk his neck, did not dare to continue speaking, and sat on the stool with his head bowed like a quail.
The two people were next to each other, and this scene naturally fell in Li Ping'an's eyes, looking at the glasses that he thought he was not clear about the situation, Li Ping'an smiled coldly, this fool is really stupid, with such a high confidentiality requirement, even if the train stops the supplies on the way, it will not let us people get off the train, things that can be understood with our toes, this guy has not reacted yet.
Tomorrow others will see you eating hot dishes and hot rice and drooling, I hope tomorrow you will nibble on dry food and don't drool at us.
The food in the food truck was not very well prepared, and so many people packed the food in the food truck quickly.
There were still many people in line at the back who saw that the dining car was empty, and they showed disappointment in their eyes, and reluctantly sat back in their places with empty lunch boxes.
The station staff in charge of vehicle scheduling quickly walked in from outside and called out the escorts in batches according to the list in their hands.
Since the rolling mill was the last to arrive, it was naturally the last to board the train.
When the last group of people followed the staff to the platform, they found that the locomotive was no longer the locomotive when they came, and several more wagons were added to the back of the train.
The escort carriage is divided into three carriages in the front, middle and rear, one personnel carriage for each factory, and the carriage of the rolling mill is at the rear.
After determining the seal on the wagon of the rolling mill, Li Ping'an stepped into the carriage of the transport personnel with confidence.
After all the transporters had boarded the car, two soldiers walked in carrying a basket covered with cloth.
After the two put down the basket, one of the young comrades walked up to Li Ping'an, took out the paper and pen in his pocket, and handed it to Li Ping'an with a smile: "Comrade, this is your dry food for three days, you are not allowed to get off the train halfway, please sign for it."
After receiving the receipt, Li Ping'an did not rush to sign, but lifted the white cloth on the basket, and after taking a look at the food in the basket, he couldn't help frowning: "Comrade, this high and low canned food, this pickles on the train for three consecutive days, can people still stand up after getting off the train?" ”
"Comrade, I'm really sorry, this mission is too urgent, we only have these things to eat here, the conditions are difficult, let's overcome it"
Seeing the other party's resolute attitude, Li Ping'an couldn't continue to say anything, sighed, and signed his name on the receipt and handed it to the other party.
After receiving the receipt, the other party did not stay too long, and after a few words, he got off the carriage. When the train was about to start, the escort soldiers jumped into the carriage before it started.
A total of four soldiers jumped up, led by a deputy squad leader, and everyone introduced each other, and after a simple arrangement of the night duty personnel, they each made their own beds.
The carriage was a temporary conversion of a freight carriage, with no electricity in it, and the only lighting tool was a table lamp that relied on battery lighting.
In order to save electricity, after everyone packed up their personal belongings, they turned off the desk lamp early, and the interior of the carriage instantly fell into darkness.
In the carriage where he couldn't see his fingers, Li Ping'an was lying on the bed, his head resting on his arm, he had only been away from home for a few hours, and he missed his son a little, and he didn't know if he didn't change his diaper at night, if he would cry because he wasn't used to it.
Just when Li Ping'an was thinking nonsense, someone whispered in the carriage: "Section Chief Li, how did you know that there would be no serious food on this mission?" ”
"Yes, yes, Section Chief Li, did you get notified in advance?"
"I wanted to ask just now, but I'm not embarrassed, Section Chief Li, tell me about it."
Listening to everyone's curious inquiries in his ears, Li Ping'an quickly threw away the nonsense in his mind, turned over slightly, picked up the cigarette and lighter at his bedside, and then began to explain the reason to them
"How else can you know, it's all up to guessing, you think, we all arrived at the train station and didn't know where the destination of this mission was, which means that the secrecy level of this mission must be top secret."
"Since it's a top-secret mission, how can we be allowed to come down for dinner while the train is stopping? What if there is an enemy among us and leaks this mission? The station is just waiting for us to have a train, so I'm going to ask you to pack a meal for the journey."
After listening to Li Ping'an's explanation, everyone understood, and admired Li Ping'an one by one, and sighed secretly in their hearts, no wonder people can become section chiefs at a young age, and there are few people in the whole factory who can compare with this level of mental agility.
The journey on the train was very boring and difficult, there were personnel from the army, and Li Ping'an couldn't take the lead to play cards or something, so he could only eat and sleep and eat bored, either in a daze, or eating.
Since all the eating, drinking, and Lazar were in the carriage, the first day was fine, there was no smell in the carriage, and from the second day, there was always a smell in the carriage, and the disgusting Li Ping'an couldn't even eat the nest.
Just when Li Ping'an was about to lose his bearing, the train finally arrived at the key station this time.
The closed compartment door was opened from the outside again, and a large amount of air outside entered the closed compartment, Li Ping'an instantly felt that he was alive again, quickly rushed out of the carriage, looked up at the starry sky, and breathed in the fresh air.
The staff of the local station quickly rushed over to do the handover work with Li Ping'an, and the technicians who came with the train assisted the local workers to transport the materials belonging to the rolling mill in the train wagon, and Li Ping'an and others were invited into the rest room of the station to rest.
In the lounge, I finally ate a serious meal for the first time in the past three days, eating local specialty pilaf, the only fly in the ointment is that I didn't taste the local specialty food barbecue lamb skewers, which made Li Ping'an very dissatisfied.
After everyone was full of food and drink, the staff at the station arranged for the staff to go to the guest house to rest, and in the local guest house, Li Ping'an saw that Director Jiang Enmin, who was a little bit of his general, was looking at himself with a smile in the hall of the guest house: "Oh, Comrade Ping'an has worked the train these days, right?" I've prepared a reception banquet for you tonight, let's have two cups of drink to relieve fatigue."
