The plan for repairing the wheel-side reducer was quickly determined. First replace the damaged gear with spare gears and continue industrial experiments. Chen Bangpeng took the train back to Luoye overnight, preparing to construct a finite element analysis model according to the method introduced by Feng Xiaochen, and redesign a set of reducers on this basis, and then bring them back for replacement. Chen Bangpeng no longer needs Feng Xiaochen to give advice on these subsequent tasks, and can be fully accomplished with his knowledge and experience.

Feng Xiaochen stayed in the cold water mine for a few days, accompanied Luo Ye's team to conduct dump truck industry experiments, and sometimes went to the stone factory to see the production situation. The production of the stone factory has been fully restored. According to the agreement reached with the power supply station, the stone factory tried its best to arrange production activities that consumed more electricity in the second half of the night. The unemployed young people had no complaints about this. Since everyone received their first month's salary, they have become proud, and Feng Xiaochen has become an idol in everyone's mind.

With the gifts such as good cigarettes and wine from the cold water mine, Feng Xiaochen boarded the return train. At his level, he was not qualified to reimburse the sleeper ticket, but the cold water mine would not let him take a hard seat to return to Beijing. Pan Caishan waved his hand and the factory office bought the sleeper ticket for Feng Xiaochen.

Officials in ministries and commissions are willing to establish good relations with subordinate companies, but this is the reason. In ministries and commissions, they will arrange the benefits that cannot be enjoyed according to regulations. When they arrive at the following companies, they will make good arrangements for you. This is a routine and a minor issue. Feng Xiaochen is not interested in adhering to any principles or other things.

Feng Xiaochen's bunk was in the middle shop. His lower bunk was a middle-aged woman sitting cross-legged on the bunk with a sweater and chatting about family matters with another woman opposite. Feng Xiaochen was inconvenient to sit on their bunk. After putting his luggage, he climbed onto his own bunk. The seat in the middle shop was not very high, and an adult sat cross-legged and curled up a little. Feng Xiaochen sat down, took out a hard-crust notebook, and began to write some of his experiences. He was about to talk to Luo Xiangfei, Meng Fanze and others about equipment development and coordination.

"Little brother, I just got on the bus? Come with one?"

A sound came from the bunk opposite. Feng Xiaochen looked up and saw that a middle-aged man who was sleeping with his head covering just now had sat up, crossed his legs like him, holding a box of cigarettes in his hand, and making a gesture to him to let the cigarette.

"I won't smoke anymore, thank you brother." Feng Xiaochen waved his hand with a smile. He is used to smoking less now, especially in the train carriage, where there are two ladies on the lower bunk, and smoking seems to be impolite.

The middle-aged man did not have such awareness. Seeing Feng Xiaochen refuse, he did not force him. He took out a cigarette and lit it. He took a sip of it, then sprayed a smog in the air without restraint. In fact, there was no such thing as second-hand smoke pollution back then. Women were used to the men around him, and they couldn't help but protest. It must be a close relationship, otherwise others would not pay attention to it.

"Where are you on a business trip?" asked the strong man.

"Yeah, on a business trip." Feng Xiaochen replied.

"Is this station just now Yichuan? Why, are you from the cold water mine?" The strong man seemed to be quite familiar with geography, and these large units along the railway could even say it.

Seeing that the other party was trying hard to get a chat, Feng Xiaochen had to put away the notebook and replied with a smile: "I came to the Lengshui Mine to do business. Now I'm back to the capital."

"Oh, you work in Beijing, which unit?" the strong man asked again.

"I am from the procurement station of Linbei Heavy Machinery in Beijing." Feng Xiaochen said his half-true identity. The identity of the Economic Commission was a little sensitive, so he couldn't talk about it at any time. After talking about his identity, he asked back: "Brother, are you on a business trip?"

"Yes, on a business trip," said the strong man, "Like you, you are also a purchasing chore."

In the era when everyone had no smartphones for entertainment, the only pastime for riding a train was to chat and play cards with the next seat. People who traveled on business all year round have developed a mouth, which is almost the same as taxi drivers in later generations.

There were not many scammers in that era, and everyone did not shy away from their name, age, unit and other identity information. Feng Xiaochen chatted with the strong man for a while and then found out the strong man's identity clearly. This man's name is Zhang Heping, who was born in the founding year of the founding of the country. His parents were looking forward to peace in the world, so he named him Heping. He is now a purchasing agent of a material trading company in Beijing, running around every day, claiming that he spent at least 180 days a year on the train overnight.

"What business does Brother Zhang's company do? Is it intersecting with our business?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

"Do everything." Zhang Heping said, "We do everything flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water."

"I understand." Feng Xiaochen pretended to be in a daze.

"Do you understand?" Zhang Heping said in surprise, "What do you understand?"

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Brother Zhang must be from the Beijing Zoo? Apart from the zoo, I can't think of any department that will have such a wide range of abilities."

"Zoo? Hahahaha, brother, you are so humorous!" Zhang Heping was stunned for a moment and laughed out loud, not knowing why his laughter was so low. In fact, what he said was a problem in itself, and obviously he didn't want people to know the nature of his work. Feng Xiaochen just followed his words and thought that since the other party refused to say it, there was no need for him to ask.

Zhang Heping smiled and explained, "Brother, I was just kidding. In fact, our unit is just doing odd jobs for others. For example, if the blankets used on civil aviation planes are out of stock, we will go to help them purchase a batch. Isn't this what is flying from the sky? There is also a shortage of lifebuoys on the ocean freighter and we also come to us. Isn't this what is swimming in the water? To put it bluntly, we are just a material station, like the nature of a thousand-stock company mentioned in Ma Sanli's crosstalk."

"I know, it's the one who 'I'm sending you to the Northeast and buy 50 monkeys quickly'. My brother is the one who bought monkeys." Feng Xiaochen quipped with a smile.

"That's right, I'm going to tell you, I've really bought a monkey," said Zhang Heping.

"Isn't this still a zoo?" Feng Xiaochen said with a smile.

As we were chatting, we heard a "squeak" sound, and the train suddenly slowed down and then stopped slowly. A voice came from the radio: "Comrades in the passengers, it's a temporary stop now, please wait patiently."

Zhang Heping lay down at the window and looked out, but saw no signs, so he muttered, "Damn, I've stopped the car temporarily again! This is a ghost weather, you won't be too hot to stop once you stop!"

"What's going on?" Feng Xiaochen asked casually.

Zhang Heping shook his head and said, "Who knows, maybe the car in front was ordered by mistake and the station was not freed up. Or maybe it was a fellow villager's cow crossed the railway and blocked the road. You don't know if you don't take trains often. People like me who regard trains as their home all day long have seen them. It's okay, maybe they can stop for a few minutes and drive again."

Zhang Heping's prediction failed this time. The train stopped for almost an hour and still had no intention of moving. It was June, and the sun was so sunny that the car box was like a steamer. The electric fan above his head was spinning fast, but the wind was also hot. Feng Xiaochen looked out through the window and found that someone in the hard seat car in front could not withstand the high temperature. He jumped out of the car window and ran to the shade of the tree on the side of the road and stood there. Judging from the situation, the train was planning to stay here for a while.

Zhang Heping lay down from it, stood in the corridor, poked his body out of the car window, and looked forward. After looking for a while, he turned around and said to Feng Xiaochen: "What's wrong, it seems that something is wrong."

"What happened?" Feng Xiaochen also got off, and liked Zhang Heping, he stuck his head out of the car window. Sure enough, he saw someone running back and forth on the roadside far ahead, as if he was dealing with something difficult.

"I'll go and have a look." Zhang Heping said.

"Get out of the car and see?" Feng Xiaochen asked strangely.

"Yes, let's go and see the fun." Zhang Heping said. Seeing Feng Xiaochen's incomprehension, he smiled and said, "It's better to go and see the fun." Those who run outside all year round have to learn to have fun for themselves, otherwise it would be too annoying to go on a business trip."

Feng Xiaochen asked worriedly: "You get off the train, what should I do if the train leaves?"

Zhang Heping said indifferently: "Don't worry, there is a blockage in front of you, how can the train drive away? Besides, there are so many people below. If the train is about to drive away, can the conductor not ask everyone to get on the train? Then you will run back."

"That's right? Then I'll go and have a look, too." Feng Xiaochen said.

He was also a teenager, and the car was so hot that it was so hot that it might as well get off with Zhang Heping to see the fun. He took his small bag from the bunk, which contained money and work permits, and could not be lost. Then he followed Zhang Heping and jumped off the train along the window.

When he got off the bus, Feng Xiaochen realized that not only many passengers had gotten off the bus, but even the train driver at the front of the bus had already gotten off and was standing in the shade on the side of the road to smoke and chat. He and Zhang Heping walked forward. When he walked to the train driver, Zhang Heping threw a few cigarettes over, and then asked happily: "Masters, what's wrong with the front?"

"There was an accident." The driver took the cigarette given by Zhang Heping, clamped it in his ear, and said, "A large-scale special train has an accident, blocking a road. I heard that the train will not be able to be opened for a while. I guess the railway bureau has to adjust the operation map. We have to go back to the front station and then go to the line next to it. Good guy, this trip will take at least 10 hours."

"So serious? Let's go over and see if it's okay?" Zhang Heping asked again.

The driver waved his hand and said indifferently: "Go away, don't stay for too long. We are waiting for the dispatching order. If we want to leave, we will pull the whistle. You can run back quickly."

"Let's go and take a look." Zhang Heping said to Feng Xiaochen. (To be continued.)
