Zhou Liguo thought that he also majored in electronics, and it was normal to be curious about this thing. He took out the walkie-talkie from the cabinet and handed it to Guo Mingzhe: "Okay."
Guo Mingzhe took it and wanted to take it apart.
Zhou Liguo was startled: "Hey, hey, you can't dismantle it. I signed an agreement with Li Wenjun and paid the deposit. If it is dismantled and damaged, I will have to pay hundreds of yuan. Uncle Zhou and I don't have that much money."
Pay it to him."
Guo Mingzhe smiled and took another one: "I'm in such a hurry and can't see any clues. Can you let me study it for a few days?"
Zhou Liguo looked troubled.
Guo Mingzhe said: "How about I go talk to my dad?"
Zhou Liguo could only say: "Hey, don't bother the mine manager for such a trivial matter. Just take it back and play with it for a few days before returning it to me. However, you can't dismantle it. You can't break it."
So Guo Mingzhe took away the two walkie-talkies.
Then, several days passed with no news.
-----
After picking up Li Wenjun just now, Zhou Liguo immediately called Guo Jianguang's home.
Fortunately, it was Guo Mingzhe who answered the call.
"Comrade Guo Mingzhe, how is your research on that walkie-talkie? I need to return it. The lease period is coming soon. The rent costs one hundred yuan a month, which is quite expensive."
"Don't worry, I'm still watching."
"When can you finish reading it? It won't work if you don't pay it back. If I want to renew the lease, I need to apply to mine manager Guo."
"Isn't the electronics factory a factory in a mine? Why do you still need rent and deposit to borrow a walkie-talkie?"
"It's a long story. When I rented this walkie-talkie, there was no electronics factory. If you are interested in this matter, you can ask mine director Guo."
Zhou Liguo mentioned Guo Jianguang again and again, just to tactfully beat Guo Mingzhe and warn him not to mess around.
Guo Mingzhe naturally heard it, but he pretended not to, and just said: "Okay, okay, I understand. I will return it to you in two days."
He said he would be back in two days, and Li Wenjun was going out to play a game, so it would take four or five days before he could come back, so he had time to ask Zhou Liguo again.
Until then, there should be nothing to worry about.
Zhou Liguo thought for a while and could only say: "Okay, let's give it two days. But you must return it to me in two days, otherwise I will have to ask mine manager Guo to apply for an extension."
----------------
On the day Li Wenjun and the others set out, there was a vigorous farewell ceremony in the mine. They were sent off to the train with gongs and drums beating like they were sending off soldiers.
Gu Zhanyan stood under the shade of the tree on the platform with Diandian in her arms, looking at Li Wenjun from a distance, with eyes that seemed to have a thousand words, but did not come close.
Diandian didn't know the concept of separation yet, she just felt that the noise around her made her scared, so she hugged Gu Zhanyan's neck tightly, leaned into her arms, and looked over here with her big eyes, looking for Li Wenjun.
For some reason, Li Wenjun suddenly remembered the last time he came back before his rebirth.
At that time, he finished handling all the matters in the mining area and left. He sat on the train with a heavy heart, incompatible with the noise around him. He only repeated one sentence in his mind: "I am lost, I am wandering, I am seeking the fruit of gain."
I gained what I did not seek, but lost what was most precious to me.”
In a daze, he seemed to see Gu Zhanyan standing far away on the platform holding Diandian in his arms. Then when he took a closer look, there was only the swaying shade of the trees and nothing else.
Li Wenjun suddenly felt a little scared, so afraid that all this was just a dream, like a mirror, a flower in the water, it would break into pieces if touched by his hand, and he would wake up if he wanted to confirm it.
It felt like something was choking in my throat, and my eyes were sore.
He waved his hand hard in that direction.
Gu Zhanyan held Diandian's hand, smiled and waved in this direction, and opened his mouth as if to say, "Come back soon."
Li Wenjun nodded vigorously, grinned, and said silently: "I will. Take care of yourself."
In fact, Gu Zhanyan was already on summer vacation, and Li Wenjun asked them to go together.
Gu Zhanyan was afraid that others would laugh at her for being too clingy to Li Wenjun, so she refused. After all, Li Wenjun and the others would only go back for a few days.
If everyone brought their families, it would be less chaotic.
-----
The oldest coal-fired steam train blew its whistle.
"Woo..."
A column of snow-white steam shot straight into the blue sky, reminding people that the train was about to set off.
The green mountains and white clouds in the distance are getting clearer and brighter.
Li Wenyong, who was talking to Liu Dongmei on the platform, said goodbye, got on the bus and sat in front of Li Wenjun.
Seeing that Li Wenjun didn't look good, Li Wenyong comforted him: "I'll be back in a few days. Besides, the three of them will live with their parents for the next few days, so don't worry."
Li Wenjun waved slightly to Gu Zhanyan again and forced a smile: "Yes."
Liu Dongmei now stood next to Gu Zhanyan, and the strong sense of unreality and fear in Li Wenjun's heart faded a little.
No one has experienced what he has experienced, so no one can understand his fear and worries.
Even the people closest to me.
The train sounded the whistle again and started slowly.
As the rhythm of the reciprocating roar of the steam engine's pistons became faster and faster, the train moved faster and faster.
Trees, fields and mountains pass by outside the window.
White columnar smoke drifted between the two mountains, the wind mixed with soot blew in, and the air was filled with the smell of engine oil and steam.
Different from the various means of transportation that came later, long-distance travel in this era basically relied on long-distance buses and iron trains.
There are few train stations, so not many people can take the train. So being able to take the train is something to be proud of and show off.
There is a special train station next to the mining area. Relatively speaking, it is much easier for workers in the mining area to go out.
It is a great honor to go to the provincial capital to participate in the competition. The mine reimburses food, accommodation and travel expenses, and also provides daily subsidies.
This group of young people is as happy as traveling at public expense.
The teammates had already taken out their poker cards and started playing to level up.
"Captain, do you want to fight?" Sun Jie asked Li Wenyong.
Li Wenyong shook his head: "You go ahead and fight, I want to sleep."
Zheng Yuehua winked at Li Wenyong: "Captain, a little farewell is better than a newlywed. You were too diligent last night. It's still a good thing, otherwise your body would be exhausted."
Li Wen smiled bravely, took a stack of newspapers next to him and threw it at Zheng Yuehua: "You bastard, you are young and have a dirty mind. You talk nonsense all day long. If you are too idle, just do a hundred push-ups.
"
When everyone heard this, they laughed.
"You have a bad mouth." Sun Jie patted Zheng Yuehua.
"Hurry up and do push-ups." Another one said
Zheng Yuehua shook his head: "Tsk, I must have been right. The captain is so angry."
Li Wenyong pretended to be angry and looked for something to throw at the man.
Zheng Yuehua hurriedly said: "No more talk, no more talk, let's play cards."
Li Wenyong twitched the corner of his mouth, folded his arms and closed his eyes.
Others were so excited that they started shuffling the cards.
"I want you to mop the floor today."
"Go away, you stinky hands, you can wipe them yourself later."
"You lost so miserably yesterday, forget it."
"That's just bad luck. If I can catch your card, I will raise it to the bottom."
