Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Li Yuming was so angry that he kicked him: "What are you shouting about? It's scary."

Tong Dapeng covered his buttocks and dared not say a word.

Li Yuming waved his hand and said, "Xiao Qin, let me introduce you to the colleague who runs this bus."

Eight train police surrounded them. Originally, there were only four train police on a train, and they took turns to rest in pairs. The head train police officer did not participate in the shifts, but was on call 24 hours a day. He would come forward if there were any problems that could not be solved.

However, the Xijiang train has a very long journey, so it is equipped with ten conductors, plus the conductor captain, a total of eleven people. These eleven people have to maintain twelve carriages and ensure the safety of thousands of people. You can imagine the workload.

"This is Dalu, Lu Chaosheng, Li Mingliang, Yang Yong, Liu Xianglin, Jia Qingping, and Jia Lin. They are uncle and nephew. This is Zhao Chunsheng and Yu Deshui. I won't introduce Tong Dapeng to you."

Dabao shook hands with everyone one by one, took out a cigarette from his pocket and offered it to everyone. After lighting a cigarette, the strangers immediately became friendly.

This conductor had been traveling abroad for many years and was well-informed. From the conductor's introduction, they could tell that the conductor was very polite, even a little flattering. They knew their own conductor's character well: a proud old rooster, arrogant and conceited with everyone.

This situation only proved that this new colleague was extraordinary and must be someone important, especially since the cigarettes he brought out were Zhonghua cigarettes that cost 80 cents a box. This further proved their suspicion, so everyone showed goodwill to Dabao.

Only that bad friend Tong Dapeng snatched the remaining half of the pack of cigarettes and put it in his pocket without any hesitation.

Dabao has no way to deal with him.

At this time, the train conductor Gao Haijun and the deputy train conductor Jia Yuling came in, and everyone gathered around.

Li Yuming stopped Tong Dapeng, glared at him, and coughed. Tong Dapeng grinned and very reluctantly took out the half pack of cigarettes from his pocket, put it into his master's pocket, and patted it, as if saying his final goodbye to the cigarettes.

Only then did Li Yuming walk away with satisfaction, his hands behind his back.

Dabao stood behind the crowd, listening to the conductor arranging the work.

"Today's train is leaving again. It has eight passenger cars, one dining car, three hard sleeper cars, and one soft sleeper car. One of the hard sleeper cars is for us to rest in, and there's also a luggage car. But this time it's different from the past. No one is allowed to bring passengers through the soft sleeper cars to the rest cars. Let me be clear, this time, all those smuggling and hiding things, all that mess, will be put away.

The paragraph says that if you are caught, you will not only be criticized, but you will be fired upon your return. It will be useless for you to plead with anyone."

As soon as this was said, everyone started talking about it. It takes a month to run this train back and forth. Whether it's the conductor or the police, they all hope to make some extra money.

Along the way, the main source of income for the train crew and police was to bring some local specialties and make a profit from the price difference, or to sell their berths for rest. This clear prohibition on the train made everyone immediately quit and they complained to the conductor.

Gao Haijun was also very upset, but he had no other choice. This was top secret, and if he dared to leak even a single word, he would be sent to the small dark room.

He looked across the crowd at Dabao's nonchalant face. He knew that he was being watched all the time. He sighed secretly and thought, "Okay! It's better to offend someone than to lose your job."

Gao Haijun said coldly: "I have said everything I need to say. If anyone insists on running into the gun, then I can't do anything about it."

He turned around and asked, "Yuling, has the water supply worker boarded the bus?"

Jia Yuling nodded: "Old Lu has already gone up with a new water supply worker."

When the train was running in this era, there was only a large boiler at the front of the train to boil water, and then two water suppliers used large kettles to collect hot water and delivered it to the passengers in each carriage.

Passengers can also fetch water by themselves.

This job is very hard for responsible water supply workers. They have to deliver water continuously, boil water when they come back, and fill the boiler with water when they stop at a major station.

The lazy water supplier has it very easy. He only needs to deliver water to passengers once in the morning and once in the afternoon, then boil the water and rest. Even the train conductor can't find any fault with him.

Gao Haijun waved his hand and said, "Everyone knows which carriage each person is responsible for. Now get on board."

The other door of the train attendant's lounge opened, and everyone walked towards the platform while talking.

There are quite a lot of staff on this train. In addition to the train crew, dining car staff, station police, there are also maintenance personnel from the vehicle depot, and drivers and passengers from the locomotive depot. There are more than 50 people in total.

Dapeng pulled Dabao and said, "Bao, I haven't asked you yet, why did you get in the car? Did you make a mistake?"

Dabao squinted at him and cursed, "Get lost! You're the one making the mistake. I'm only here because I have a mission."

Tong Dapeng rolled his eyes. His IQ has always been negative, so he didn't understand what Dabao meant. However, his advantage is that he pretends to know when he doesn't.

"Oh, I see..."

Dabao knew him too well. He knew what was going on just by looking at his expression and couldn't help laughing: "You know what I mean, Dad."

Tong Dapeng chuckled and tugged at the gun bag he was carrying: "What the hell is this? It's so long, what's in it?"

"Touch it."

"Okay! Let me see what this is... thing... huh?"

"Did you find it out?"

Tong Dapeng nodded in shock: "Yes, it's a gun? Why didn't you get in the car with this thing?"

Dabao smiled and threw a pack of cigarettes to him. This heartless guy immediately forgot his previous question.

Dabao walked around the platform to familiarize himself with the train.

At this time, I saw a huge black steam locomotive, dragging a series of green train carriages. After a long whistle sounded, the heavy steel gasped, pulling the long green train slowly into the platform.

Dabao's mind was suddenly struck by a sense of time. This was a product of this era: a black steam engine head, a rough old man wearing greasy braids and a face full of stubble, leaning out of a small window, patting the steel window with his left hand, playing the flute with his right. What a beautiful picture! If only this silly old man didn't emit white steam...

Dabao cursed and dodged the white steam. The air was instantly filled with the smell of rust.

The train stopped and Dabao followed the driver and crew to the back. The rest car for the train staff was the second to last car, and the last car was the luggage car.

When he reached the third to last quarter, Gao Haijun pulled him back.

"Xiao Qin, your rest compartment is in the fifth soft sleeper compartment, and the experts are in the third and fourth compartments."

Dabao nodded: "Thank you, conductor."

Dabao boarded the soft sleeper car, only to find two armed soldiers standing at the door. The soldiers reached out to stop Dabao, looked him up and down, and then said gently: "I'm sorry, comrade, this is a soft sleeper car, no outsiders are allowed to enter."

Dabao took out his work ID and said, "I'm a passenger with five bags."

Unexpectedly, the two young soldiers didn't even bother to look at their work IDs. They shook their heads and said, "I'm sorry, but our orders are that no one else is allowed to enter unless our platoon leader agrees."

Dabao was scratching his head. "Who is your platoon leader? I don't know him either."

At this time, the door of the soft sleeper compartment opened, and Yu Chengmin and a second lieutenant officer came out.

Yu Chengmin was very happy to see Dabao: "Dabao, you're here? Why don't you come in?"

Dabao gave a bitter smile and gestured with his chin: "Your soldiers said that no documents are useful. You must have the permission of their platoon leader to enter..."
