After lunch, at exactly 1 p.m., a group of nine people took three cars and headed straight to the station.
Tang Chaoyang is naturally also in the team. His expression seems a little unnatural now. He must have been criticized by a certain leader just now, right?
However, Du Weiguo didn't bother to talk to him at all. His mission was to escort them to their destination safely. He didn't know what year or month he would see them again. And for a player like him, in two years, when the wind blows, hehehe,
It's probably enough for him to bear.
The land of China is vast and majestic. From Sijiucheng to Liupanshui, there is only one train every two days. The journey is very far and long!
In 1964, steam locomotives were used and it took 5 days and 5 nights to arrive. It was on time within 124 hours. If it was delayed, only God knew.
Going south to Guizhou, you have to cross the land of Hebei, then cross the Yellow River, and enter the heart of the Central Plains. From Nanyang, pass through Jingmen, cross the Yangtze River, and then go all the way west, passing through the land of Bashu to finally reach it.
It’s really a long road!
If you are a talented literati and you see the beautiful mountains and rivers of our motherland, you will probably feel emotional, express your feelings and even compose a poem!
It's a pity that these beautiful scenery are nothing to Du Weiguo, and he is too lazy to look at them.
For him, this was just an extremely long and hard escort mission. After being held in a carriage with three grown men for such a long time, in such a small space, everyone actually felt it was a little difficult to breathe. Fortunately, it was now
In summer, the train compartment windows can be opened and you can smoke a cigarette.
Director Lu and another more mature comrade lived in a soft sleeper box, and Du Weiguo and Bart lived with them.
Tang Chaoyang and two other slightly younger engineers lived in the next box with Wang Xiao.
Daguang stayed with other passengers.
There was nothing we could do about it. There were 9 people in the group, and some of them would be left alone. The technicians were definitely not good enough, and Bart was too straightforward to let him go out alone, so poor Da Guang had to go out by himself.
The miserable Comrade Daguang has become the most free and at the same time the hardest working errand boy.
Along the way, even Du Weiguo actually endured a lot of discomfort, especially Bart's invincible snoring, but he still strictly adhered to the rules he had set down at the beginning, without compromising at all, and he definitely did not lower his guard.
It's just that during the trip, Du Weiguo kicked Bart's butt several times. This guy's snoring and stinky feet were like sonar weapons and biochemical weapons!
It’s still the kind that can kill you!
At midnight on the third day of the journey, when they were about to cross the Yangtze River, Du Weiguo, who was on duty at night, was smoking alone on a stool in the corridor opposite the box and looking around.
This is his rare free time. Although he is a little sleepy without sleeping, fortunately his ears and nose can relax a little.
Bart and Daguang were on the day shift, while Du Weiguo and Wang Xiao took turns on the night shift, but in fact Du Weiguo basically stayed up all night.
In this special situation, he still believed in himself even more.
At this moment, there was nothing suspicious in the entire train carriage except for the constant snoring and a faint mixed foot odor.
Du Weiguo opened the window in the corridor of the carriage, and the cool night breeze rushed in, taking away the turbid air in the carriage, and his mind suddenly became clear.
Du Weiguo blew against the wind for a while, took a few deep breaths, and refreshed himself. Then he moved to the downwind, slowly rearranged a cigarette, put on a new holder, and lit it!
With nothing going on, Du Weiguo was ready to relax his thoughts for a while.
Uh, just in a daze.
Suddenly, the door of the box next door opened, and Wang Xiao and Tang Chaoyang walked out one after another with haggard faces. They were both of the same character, with disheveled hair, deep dark circles under their eyes, listless, as if they had been swung with rice.
Likewise, the cool and slightly cold night breeze in the corridor of the carriage made them feel refreshed.
"Du Tou, Bart is such a beast. His snoring is like thunder. It shakes the bed. I really can't sleep. I have a severe headache! I simply came out to smoke a cigarette, and he wanted to come out and smoke too."
Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and explained in a low voice. At this time, Tang Chaoyang nodded to Du Weiguo in a slightly flattering manner.
Du Weiguo understood this kind of pain very well. He raised the corner of his mouth and said softly: "Yeah, okay."
Wang Xiao nodded to Du Weiguo and said, "Sir, you just stay here and watch while I go to the toilet first."
"good."
Tang Chaoyang sat down on the stool opposite Du Weiguo. Du Weiguo politely handed him a cigarette. He reached out and took it. Just as the moonlight shone through the window, Tang Chaoyang saw Du Weiguo's cigarette holder.
He asked with some surprise: "Huh? Chief Du, are you using a homemade filter?"
Du Weiguo nodded and replied calmly: "Yes, it is made of wood. It would be too strong to smoke directly."
Tang Chaoyang was so happy that he took the initiative and said, "Hey, hey, Chief Du, I didn't expect that we are in the same camp! Let me show you my cigarette holder. I made it in Britain."
As he spoke, he took out a very delicate metal box from his pocket. There were 6 metal cigarette holders neatly stacked inside, and they were also engraved with exquisite patterns. With Du Weiguo's night vision ability, he could easily tell that it was
Pure silver.
Du Weiguo took out one with his hand and rubbed it gently. The carvings were very delicate and exquisite. Du Weiguo couldn't help but complain in his heart. Damn, he is indeed a wealthy foreigner who cleans up these fancy things, but he just said it.
"Haha, what a good thing, the sterling silver cigarette holder, the delicate relief pattern of the Victorian era, is both exquisite and practical!"
Oh my gosh, Tang Chaoyang was completely shocked. Du Weiguo was able to accurately tell that the cigarette holder was an engraving from the Victorian era. But even he didn't understand this. He studied engineering when he studied abroad, but was educated by his boss when he was buying cigarette holders.
Only then did I know that Du Weiguo, a unique killer, actually knew this. This is so fucking shocking.
This feels as absurd and bizarre as if a PhD student from Yanda University was suddenly taught the history of European art by a special forces king.
Tang Chaoyang asked in surprise: "Chief Du, have you studied the history of European art?"
Du Weiguo smiled and made up a random reason: "Haha, how is it possible? When I went to the trust store to buy things, I saw similar patterns several times. Out of curiosity, I was popularized by a master, so I came here.
know."
Tang Chaoyang nodded and agreed with this reason: "Oh, hahaha, that's it. I actually don't understand it. I bought it because it looked fresh. The boss who sold it also gave me some popular science. This thing is indeed very practical. Domestic
You can’t see it at all.”
Du Weiguo sneered and decided to educate this ignorant child who was a little fond of foreigners:
"Ha! What you said is wrong. This thing is not new at all. Cigarette holders are not imported. We in China have had cigarette pouches and pots since the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. Naturally, cigarette holders are derived from them, and they are gold.
Silver, copper, jade, emerald and agate are not uncommon. Our Chinese civilization has lasted for five thousand years, so how dazzling and magnificent it is!"
As a man of two generations, Du Weiguo never forgot his sense of national pride. China's was the best and he would not accept any refutation.
Tang Chaoyang smiled sarcastically: "Hehehe, Section Chief Du, I think you have misunderstood me somewhat. I also love the motherland very much. I am definitely not a fan of foreigners. Really, otherwise I would not give up on the comparative advantages of foreign countries."
After completing my studies, I traveled across the ocean by boat for more than half a year and returned to my motherland to participate in the construction."
Du Weiguo nodded: "Comrade Tang Chaoyang, I trust you very much, and I have no misunderstanding about you at all. The previous exchange of words was just to complete the work tasks.
On the contrary, I admire you very much and cherish you. You are the true pillars of the country. Industry is a valuable tool for a big country and the foundation for a strong country and a prosperous people. A small achievement or invention of yours may generate hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.
Millions of economic benefits, benefiting the country and the people.
Based on this, I will formulate rules that are almost harsh and inhumane. The purpose is simply to eliminate all hidden dangers and send you precious little ones to your workplaces safely and safely, playing an incomparable and huge role!"
Du Weiguo's rhetoric was so reasonable and passionate that it made Tang Chaoyang's eyes wet. Director Lu had previously criticized him for not understanding the meaning of comrades, and he was still a little unconvinced.
After three days of getting along with each other, he had truly felt that Du Weiguo was indeed not making things difficult for them. He stayed up all night sitting in the corridor, guarding, and doing his duty with all his heart.
What Du Weiguo said just now directly penetrated his young patriotic heart and made his blood boil.
Now he kind of understands what it means to be gay.
