Considering that he was going to take the driver's license test, Li Weidong got up early.
I wanted to cook some stick noodle porridge, but when I opened the coal stove, I found that the briquettes were gone.
Then I remembered that I drank too much yesterday and forgot to refill the briquettes in time.
Yes, let's go have a bite on the street.
As soon as he went out, he saw Qin Huairu standing under the big camphor tree and looking at him timidly, while Jia Zhang slipped back into the house like a mouse and leaned on the crack of the door to look over.
Haha, these mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are quite interesting!
Before Qin Huairu could speak, Li Weidong lit a cigarette and held it in his mouth, and said casually: "Little Miss Qin, do you want to borrow money? Come on, let's go into the house and talk in simple terms."
Qin Huairu was stunned. What does "explaining things in simple terms" mean?
But she was also someone who had been there before, and she understood immediately. Her heart trembled, and even her hands and feet felt a little weak.
He said in a trembling voice: "No, I'm not borrowing money. I just want to thank you for helping my mother-in-law yesterday."
"Hey, don't say it. I really forgot about this. Let's go and talk in the room."
Li Weidong pretended to turn around and open the door, but Qin Huairu ran away.
This rough guy really dared to take action after entering the house.
Looking at the figure running away in panic, Li Weidong curled his lips and said: "It's so unprofessional. You only need to open your mouth to get benefits?"
In the Jia family, Mrs. Jia Zhang was lying on the crack of the door looking outside. When she saw Qin Huairu politely refusing to come to Li Weidong, she was so angry that she stamped her feet and beat her chest.
"Why don't you go in?!"
When Qin Huairu ran back to the house, she quickly asked: "What a great opportunity just now, why couldn't you seize it?"
"Mom, Li Weidong is different from Silly Zhu..." Qin Huairu's face turned hot with embarrassment and she couldn't continue talking.
Mrs. Jia Zhang was just angry and didn't notice. She kept chattering: "What's the difference? Aren't they all fools?"
Qin Huairu bit her lip without saying a word. She couldn't tell anyone about being eaten a steamed bun.
She couldn't borrow money from Li Weidong, so she had to go to Sha Zhu, but Sha Zhu said she wanted to help He Yuyu arrange a dowry, but returned without success again.
Back at the house, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked sad.
"Mom, why don't you withdraw your bankbook and I'll make up for it when your salary is paid next month."
"You can take whatever you want! Our bankbook can only be deposited but not withdrawn. We have to find someone to borrow it."
"Who in this compound can lend us ten yuan? The first uncle only has a few kilograms of stick noodles at a time, the second uncle doesn't deal with our family, and the third uncle is a little shrewd..." Qin Huairu started to count on his fingers.
"Third uncle! Oops, why did I forget that little thing? Daughter-in-law, don't worry, leave the borrowing to me."
Mrs. Jia Zhang stood up and walked out in a hurry.
Qin Huairu didn't know why and called her out, "Mom, Yan Bugui is a tough guy. Will he lend money to our family?"
"You, you, you are still too young and shallow. Yan Jiefang is lying on the bed dying because Li Weidong has stolen his wife. Yan Bugui has found four or five matchmakers, but people think she is stingy.
I won’t act as a matchmaker for his family. I have a girl on hand who will ensure that Yan Bugui will be satisfied,” Jia Zhang said.
Mrs. Jia Zhang doesn't have a job, and she doesn't take care of her children on weekdays. She either picks up shoe mats or goes from house to house, but she does know a lot of people.
But……
Qin Huairu was puzzled, "The matchmaker gift here is just half a pound of fat, not even a dollar. Can Yan Bugui lend us ten dollars?"
"He, Lao Yan, won't lend it to me, but that girl's family is willing to lend it to me!" Jia Zhang remembered going to talk to the matchmaker, and ran out without saying anything.
The girl's family is willing to borrow... Qin Huairu's face changed drastically. Isn't Jia Zhang trying to cause trouble again?
She called Mrs. Jia Zhang back and felt sorry for the ten yuan. In the end she could only sigh, wiped her hands and prepared to cook for Banggeng.
…
the other side.
Li Weidong rode his bicycle and came to the small state-owned restaurant at the entrance of the alley.
The hotel has a small front door, and the boss put a large stove for cooking braised food outside the door.
Every time he opened the lid of the pot, the aroma would overflow, making people salivate.
Li Weidong ate a bowl of braised pork belly and his whole body felt warm, so he rode his bicycle to the team.
The truck on the concrete floor has been baptized by the cold winter overnight, and the rusty body is covered with pale white frost. The morning sun shines on it, emitting colorful rays.
Just as Li Weidong was searching one by one, a voice came from behind: "Are you looking for your father's car?"
The person who came was none other than the team captain Niu Yong.
Li Weidong nodded and said: "If no one is driving that car, I want to take over."
Niu Yong: "It has just been repaired and is still parked in the repair shop. But are you so confident that you can pass the driving test?"
Li Weidong chuckled: "I, Li Weidong, always handle matters safely."
Niu Yong: "..."
Although Li Weidong was confident, Niu Yong explained the details of the exam to him again.
Unconsciously, it seemed that it was eight o'clock, and the motorcade became busy.
After Niu Yong assigned today's transportation tasks, he took Li Weidong to the examination room.
Of course, Niu Meng is also accompanying him. This girl wants to cheer for the master.
Although the trucks of this era had single-cab front seats, they had three positions.
Niu Yong has been a driver for more than ten years. He drove fast and arrived at the Huling examination point in northwest Beijing.
In this era, there were not many cars and even fewer trucks. Most of the people who could take the driver's license test were veterans. They had to be experienced in driving cars. Only they had the conditions to practice driving.
The blue and black overalls worn by Li Weidong and others are particularly conspicuous among the tan military uniforms.
No, the team captain of the machinery factory saw them at a glance.
"Old cow!"
"Old Zhang!"
After the two hugged each other passionately, they curled their lips in contempt at each other.
"Old Niu, do we still have a bet today?" Captain Zhang is a thin middle-aged man who has been holding cigarettes in his mouth, one after another. He is a standard smoker.
"Bet! What to bet on?"
"Don't worry, let me see your team members first."
Captain Zhang cast his eyes on Li Weidong's face, and was overjoyed. He said: "It turns out you are a raw melon egg. I won't bully you today. I'll just bet you a box of Daqianmen. I'm not used to smoking other cigarettes."
"How can one box work? That's not to kill people. If you want to bet, just one." Niu Yong was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the player with trembling calves behind Lao Zhang, he suddenly understood.
Is this old cow planning to take advantage of the situation?
Captain Zhang stared at Li Weidong for a long time like a cow looking at an animal.
He tried to discern Lao Niu's reliance from it, but he also looked lonely.
This young man is quite handsome, but being handsome is a negative bonus when driving.
The team member I lead has been trained hard for three years. He has used a big car before in the army. Although he has not obtained the certificate yet, he is often asked to drive when running long distances. How can he be afraid of a raw melon egg?
"Okay, one word, one word, it's settled!" The two big hands were held together.
Li Weidong looked at it and curled his lips. Isn't this a vulgar slap in the face in later novels?
The tiger's body vibrates and then shocks everyone. It's so boring.
"Hey, captain, I drank too much last night and my stomach hurts a little. How about we take the exam again tomorrow?" Li Weidong bent over and groaned.
Niu Meng was feeling the tense atmosphere of the driving test and quickly ran over to hold his arm: "Master, are you okay?"
"How come your apprentice is so blind? Hurry up and help the master sit down." Li Weidong glared at her.
Niu Yong was suddenly stunned. He was fine just now, why did he suddenly have a stomachache?
Could it be this guy...
Niu Yong's heart moved, and he walked over to Li Weidong and whispered in Li Weidong's ear: "I will give you half of a cigarette."
"It doesn't matter whether you smoke or not, I just don't like that old Zhang." Li Weidong slowly straightened up and rubbed his stomach, smiled at the proud-looking Captain Zhang, and said, "It's okay, I suddenly feel uncomfortable in my stomach."
It hurts."
Well, it's fun to pretend to be cool for a while, and it's always nice to keep pretending to be cool.
As a time traveler, how can I do it without showing off?
Captain Zhang folded his arms and turned away. This guy is a naughty boy.
But it just works.
He turned around and told his team members: "Xiao Meng, you have been with the team for three years, right? How does the master treat you?"
"Master treats me like my biological parents, don't worry, I will definitely earn this face back for you this time!" Xiao Meng said.
Lao Zhang nodded with satisfaction and glared at Lao Niu proudly.
Lao Niu smiled "hehe" and rolled his eyes at him.
The little moves between the two of them made Li Weidong's teeth sore. They were so vulgar, so vulgar.
Fortunately, at this time, two staff members in white uniforms came out to announce the exam.
The first level is of course the theory test. In addition to regular traffic rules, it also tests politics, mathematics, and mechanical knowledge.
A perfect score of 100 points means a passing score of 70 points.
As an engineer-level figure, Li Weidong naturally took the theoretical exam easily. He handed in the paper in less than twenty minutes and got full marks.
Niu Yong and Niu Meng were so excited that they almost danced "Red Sun" at the entrance of the examination room.
Lao Zhang frowned because his Xiao Meng only scored ninety-five points.
But he didn't panic, because the next item was Xiao Meng's advantageous subject.
Subject 2 - Pile Test.
It's winter now, and before starting the test, candidates need to start their vehicles.
Trucks of this era did not have electronic ignitions and all used crank handles.
It's okay in the summer, but in the winter when the weather is cold, the oil and air pipes inside the truck freeze (actually it's not the gasoline that freezes, but the gasoline these days is impure, and the impurities and moisture in it easily freeze.), and I want to rock the truck.
It's not a simple matter.
You need to chop firewood on your back first, and then make a fire to roast the car's oil bottom.
As an apprentice, Xiao Meng has been doing this kind of work for three years, and he is still better than that guy.
"The inversion test has begun. The time limit is thirty minutes. Start counting now!"
Following the examiner's order, Li Weidong took the ax and ran out like a tiger descending the mountain.
I kept sighing in my heart that the driving test these days is really serious. You even have to cut firewood yourself, unlike in later generations where many people didn't even dare to get on the road after getting a driver's license.
Li Weidong has never chopped firewood, but he has a 10,000-fold experience system, and he can gain experience of cutting tens of thousands of axes just by chopping one axe.
So Lao Zhang saw an incredible scene. As he expected, the first ax cut into the middle of the small tree. The direction of the ax blade was also wrong, and it only rubbed off a layer of skin on the small tree.
He almost laughed out loud: "Old Niu, where did you find a young soldier who can't even use an axe?"
But he was stunned in the next second. He saw that Li Weidong seemed to be moving by another person, swinging the ax continuously, and saw cold light flashing, and the next second the small trees turned into firewood.
But Xiao Meng was still swinging the ax vigorously.
"Haha, Lao Zhang, who is the young soldier?"
Li Weidong, who was not far away, heard it clearly. Damn, are you going to carry out this evil custom to the end?
