The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Yang Dalin also planned to get at least ten or twenty new trucks for the freight station this time.

We can't just give the benefits to others; we also need to give some benefits to Station Chief Qi.

I believe the higher-ups will agree.

After the convoy arrived at the Chengdu Military Region, everyone rested for a night.

Yang Dalin wasn't very familiar with Commander Huang, the head of the Rongcheng Military Region, but he was very familiar with his successor, the commander of the Long Live Army.

However, Liang Daya hasn't arrived at the Rongcheng Military Region yet.

Commander Huang personally received Yang Dalin.

He generously said that he could make any request he wanted, and the Rongcheng Military Region would try its best to meet all his needs.

Yang Dalin asked if twenty new trucks could be allocated so he could take them back to his unit for use.

After all, Yang Dalin was also a driver at the freight station.

Although these were all seized by Yang Dalin, once they were handed over, they could only be distributed by higher authorities.

Commander Huang is a straightforward person, and he said he could help put in a good word for this.

He went out to make a phone call halfway through.

He returned quickly and said that his superiors had agreed to Yang Dalin's request.

This time, the gold and machinery will be packed into boxes and transported by rail first thing tomorrow morning, using a special train. We can also promise to use a special train to help him transport twenty brand-new trucks that are 95% new.

These trucks are ZIL-150 military trucks provided by the Russians to India. Apart from their high fuel consumption, they are fine.

At the very least, it is durable and suitable for use in cold winter weather, and it is sturdy and durable.

It's perfect for use in the north.

With twenty of these new cars, Qi Desheng must be quite happy.

Yang Dalin and Commander Huang had a good meal that evening.

The next morning, despite Commander Huang's attempts to persuade him to stay, Yang Dalin boarded the train back to Beijing directly with the truck.

Commander Huang also prepared some local specialties as gifts for Yang Dalin.

There are no ordinary passengers on this train.

It was a military train.

The military train was full of soldiers with real guns and ammunition.

This is because it carries not only twenty trucks, but also a lot of high-tech machinery that will be transported to Beijing by train.

Not to mention there are still fifty tons of gold.

The more than 150 tons of gold and machinery on the western route were transported via a different route.

Therefore, the security measures are naturally very strict.

With so many fully armed PLA soldiers protecting him, Yang Dalin was much more relaxed.

The ordinary soldiers didn't know that Yang Dalin was the biggest contributor to these things.

He was just like an ordinary soldier hitchhiking along the way.

Once on the train, aside from a few trips to the toilet and dining car, he didn't leave his compartment and spent most of his time resting in the sleeper compartment.

The train took the fastest time from Chengdu to Beijing. It basically didn't stop at small stations, and at major stations, no one was allowed to get off except to refuel or refill water.

So the speed is still very fast.

After more than 30 hours, we arrived at a small station on the south side of the outskirts of Beijing and stopped.

That's right, there's no direct route from the train station to the Sijiucheng Railway Station.

It may also be for the sake of secrecy.

By this time, the small train station was completely under lockdown.

As soon as Yang Dalin got off the car, he saw Director Hou in the crowd of people waiting to pick him up.

Director Hou was standing relatively close to the front, with a large group of people behind him.

He was surrounded by several big shots wearing military overcoats and cotton hats, as well as many big shots wearing gray and black overcoats with Zhongshan suits underneath and glasses.

Many of these people appear to be experts in machinery, as well as people from banks.

These people are probably here to pick up the machines and gold.

I just don't know why so many high-ranking military officials came.

Yang Dalin was about to get out of the car when he was stopped by two soldiers with guns.

As a result, Director Hou gave a low-key report to a familiar-looking man in a military overcoat.

The bigwig spoke up, using a friendly Sichuan accent, and Yang Dalin was immediately allowed to pass.

I got off the train.

Good heavens, Yang Dalin forgot that it was already early January, and there was only about a month left until the Lunar New Year. It was already quite cold in Beijing.

Yang Dalin was only wearing a thin sweater and trousers, with a thin military uniform with the rank of captain on the outside.

The train wasn't too cold because of the heating, but it was still a bit chilly when you suddenly stepped off.

Director Hou wanted to take off his military overcoat and hand it to him, but Yang Dalin quickly declined, saying, "No need, Director Hou. I'm young, I just need to stretch my legs and get used to it."

I'm not afraid of the cold, it's just that I'm not used to it when it suddenly comes down, but I can get used to it after a while.

"You're wearing that, so if you take off your coat, you won't catch a cold."

Before Director Hou could introduce the people around him, Yang Dalin pulled Director Hou a few steps to the side and whispered, "Director Hou, has our station chief arrived yet?"

The twenty trucks behind us belong to our station; I need to notify him to bring people to pick them up.

Why are there so many high-ranking military officials here? And why do these guys look so familiar? If there's nothing else, I'll go inform our station chief and have him bring me a military overcoat.

Director Hou stopped Yang Dalin, who was about to leave.

"What's the rush? Your twenty cars aren't going anywhere."

You only recognize these people, but don't know who they are?

They came to pick you up from the station in person. Are you going to run away without making a good impression?

Yang Dalin glanced at a bespectacled big shot again. The man took off his glasses and looked at him, and Yang Dalin recognized him.

Holy crap, holy crap, it's Rong Shuai!

One of the top ten.

I have no right or ability to have Marshal Rong personally come to pick me up at the station.

Yang Dalin immediately stood at attention and saluted the other party. He wanted to call him "Marshal Rong," but there were several other bigwigs beside him whose names he couldn't recall, so he ended up saying, "Greetings, esteemed leaders."

Rong Shuai said in his distinctive Sichuan accent, "Little devil, haha, you too."

Do you know who I am?

"I know, I know. I'm not worthy of your presence. It would be too much trouble for you to come and pick me up personally."

Director Hou gently patted him on the back and said, "Marshal Rong is here to pick up the equipment. You don't have that much influence."

"Yes, yes, I knew it. I don't have that much influence."

Rong Shuai waved his hand, and the others standing behind him immediately got into the car to check the items. Besides his bodyguards, there were two big shots who looked familiar, but Yang Dalin didn't recognize them.

Then came Yang Dalin and Director Hou.

Marshal Rong asked a guard to fetch a military overcoat, and Marshal Rong personally draped the overcoat over Yang Dalin.

He continued kindly in his Sichuan accent, "Put it on first, so you don't catch a cold."

Don't listen to Comrade Hou Yufeng's nonsense, Comrade Xiao Yang, I'm not just here to pick up the machine.

I really wanted to see you; you've been a great help to me.

Not only me, but the whole country should thank you.

And this isn't the only time; I also want to thank you on behalf of many others.

Do you know who they are?

Yang Dalin immediately understood. Rong Shuai was in charge of military technology and weapons research. If he was thanking him on behalf of many people, it must be because the prey he helped hunt last time had helped many experts studying Miss Qiu in the harsh environment of the Northwest.

Yang Dalin nodded: "I can probably guess. These are all things I should do."

No need to thank me, sir. Do you still need it over there in winter? It can be preserved for a long time this season.

If it requires me to go home, I'll go again.

"No rush, no rush, you've worked hard."

They acquired so much machinery and equipment, so much gold, and so much grain.

Some of the rice has already been delivered.

They weren't so nervous anymore.

You've done a great service. Go back and rest for a few days. I'll see how things go, and if it's really necessary, I'll send someone to invite you back in a few days.

Don't worry, twenty trucks will deliver them to your workplace.

"Do you have any other requests? You can make them. Regarding that suggestion you made to your leader last time, I've discussed it with your minister. Just because you've brought in so much gold, we have to agree."

When Yang Dalin saw Rong Shuai smiling at him, he guessed that Rong Shuai knew about his request for a large courtyard.

Yang Dalin felt a little embarrassed at that moment.
