Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1 I became a truck driver

Beijing.

In the cold wind, Wang Weidong tightened his collar, touched his right pocket, and walked out of the hotel, drowning in the crowd.

Looking at the houses built with blue bricks on both sides of the street, the rough slogans painted with whitewash, and the thick cotton jackets and worn felt hats worn by pedestrians.

Wang Weidong just wanted to say: God the thief!

That's right, he crossed over.

The former Wang Weidong was a body art photographer. With a high salary, enjoying the beautiful scenery, his life was very comfortable.

His body had been hollowed out long ago. After watching a TV series called "Full Courtyard" all night, he was depressed and angry for a while, which caused his heart to stop.

Opening his eyes again, he transmigrated into the body of a veteran who was also named Wang Weidong.

It's not that traveling is bad.

In Blue Star in the 21st century, time travel is a very common phenomenon.

Some people traveled to ancient times, changed the trajectory of history, and became a generation of emperors;

But in this day and age, you don't have to think about doing business or engaging in technology.

As a time traveler, the most sensible thing to do is to find a factory and work safely.

Fortunately, Thief God may feel that he is a bit too much, and arranged for Wang Weidong a more powerful identity.

Both parents died;

Three generations of farmhands;

Veteran;
The difficulty of life is greatly reduced.

In the army, the former Wang Weidong, who was physically strong and good-looking, served as an orderly for the chief for four years.

When he was about to retire, the chief gave him two choices.

One is to work as a clerk in the township below.

The other is to go to work in a factory in the capital. The position is uncertain, and it is up to him to fight for it.

The predecessor Wang Weidong wisely chose to work in the factory in Beijing.

Now as long as he can be assigned a good position, his survival is half the battle. Wang Weidong couldn't help touching the two hard boxes in his pocket again.

Soon, a dilapidated factory building appeared at the end of the road.

"Red Star Rolling Mill, a very familiar name." Wang Weidong held the letter of introduction in his hand and double-checked it with the name on the factory gate.

"Hey, young man, during working hours, idlers are not allowed to enter." In the guard room next to him, two security guards in blue uniforms were watching him vigilantly.

"Brother Security, no, Comrade, I'm here to report." Wang Weidong glanced into the guard room, and immediately gasped.

Through the glass, one could clearly see a gleaming pistol on the table in front of the security guard.

A man with a gun deserves respect.

"It's from the report, here's the letter of introduction." Lan Uniform's expression softened a lot, and he stretched out his hand.

While handing over the letter of introduction, Wang Weidong also took out a box of big-brimmed hats from his left pocket, took out two and handed them over.

Seeing the big-brimmed hat, Blue Uniform began to smile a little. He took one and handed the other to his colleague.

Without reading the letter of introduction, he smiled and said, "It turns out that he is a comrade who has retired from the army. Don't tell me earlier!"

Wang Weidong's heart warmed, no matter what era he was in, people who defended their families and the country were respected.

The enthusiastic blue uniform led Wang Weidong to an office building before he left in peace: "On the second floor, find Minister Fang, he is in charge of the assignment work."

When he came to the vermilion-painted door on the second floor, Wang Weidong touched his right pocket before knocking on the door.

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Weidong saw a black telephone on a black lacquered desk, and a middle-aged man wearing four pockets was sitting on a cushioned chair, looking at him suspiciously.

These days, phones are a rarity, and it seems that this is the right one.

Before the middle-aged man could speak, Wang Weidong showed a shy smile, walked over quickly, and saluted: "Report, Minister Fang, veteran Wang Weidong, come to report."

Minister Fang was stunned for a moment, then looked up, saw Wang Weidong's simple smile, and that cheek with clear lines and handsome features, he couldn't help feeling a little good in his heart,
He closed the file: "Comrade Wang, have you brought the letter of introduction?"

"Bring it!" Wang Weidong took out the job change certificate and job introduction letter from his pocket, and handed them over.

Minister Fang took the document, put it on the table, and looked at it carefully with a serious expression.

After a while, he raised his head, tapped his fingers on the table, and said a little embarrassedly: "Comrade, your conditions are quite superior, but what?"

His voice was drawn out, and he let out a long breath: "There are not many suitable positions for you in our Red Star Rolling Mill, or you can go to the workshop to train for a few months, and we will talk about it when there is a suitable position."

For this situation, Wang Weidong had expected it.

He looked back and saw that the door was closed, and then he quickly took out the two packs of cigarettes in white from his right pocket and placed them next to his letter of introduction.

"Oh, what are you doing!"

Seeing the two packs of cigarettes, Minister Fang first looked shocked, with a hint of emotion in his eyes, and then reprimanded dissatisfiedly.

Wang Weidong skillfully showed a shy smile: "Minister Fang, where can I get such a thing like a big soldier. This is my old chief, and asked me to deliver it to you."

Wang Weidong did not lie, the two white boxes of special cigarettes were indeed given to him by the old chief he served.

To be honest, the predecessor of this body was also a talent.He is tall and burly, with a tough appearance and is capable of doing things, which is highly valued by the old chief.If it weren't for the son of the old chief's daughter who could make soy sauce, maybe he would really be recruited as a son-in-law.

These two white boxes of special cigarettes are a status symbol in this era, and their value can no longer be measured by money, comparable to 50-year-old wine.

Minister Fang naturally understood this, and when he heard that this thing came from the head of the army, he also understood that this kid had a backer behind him.

"Since it's the old chief's wish, if I don't accept it, it would be too noble." Minister Fang swept the cigarette into the drawer.

Wang Weidong scratched his head and said with a silly smile: "I am an orphan. When I was in the army, the chief was my parents. Now that I have changed jobs, seeing you, I feel like I have found a relative again. You are my uncle.

Minister Fang took a deep look at Wang Weidong, and said with a sneer, "You look honest and honest, but you are actually a sensible person."

After finishing speaking, he paused and added: "However, I don't dare to guarantee whether there is a suitable position."

Wang Weidong smiled shyly: "Uncle Fang, don't get me wrong, I said that because I was kind to you when I saw you, and I thought you were my relatives from the bottom of my heart."

After a lifetime of tempering, Wang Weidong is naturally far more mature than his peers.

As long as you stick to your heart, don't cheat others, don't hurt others, and occasionally bow your head, just to avoid being tripped by stones on the ground.

"You boy, this mouth is really amazing!" Minister Fang shook his head, shaking the phone with a "hulahula".

"Receive the factory."

The phone was connected soon, and with Wang Weidong's expectant eyes, Minister Fang asked unhurriedly: "I have a nephew of my own who just changed his job from the army and wants to practice in our factory for a while."

I don't know what the other side answered, Minister Fang covered the microphone, raised his head and asked, "Can you drive?"

"Yes, very good!" Wang Weidong was the full-time driver of the old chief when he was in the army.

When the wheel turns, the waist is rich, and when the horn sounds, the gold is ten thousand taels.

In this day and age, being a driver is a very popular profession.

Especially for long-distance truck drivers, almost every time they come back from the car, their daughter-in-law will stew two catties of pork kidneys to make up for it.

Fortunately, this body is not bad, and it should be able to last for a few years.

"Well, the factory fleet is short of a driver. You report it now and go to work tomorrow." Minister Fang put down the phone and went through the formalities for Wang Weidong.

After learning that Wang Weidong hadn't found a place to live, Minister Fang naturally couldn't let his nephew live in the factory dormitory, so he called the street office and arranged him in a courtyard house less than 5 miles away from the factory.

"There are a few old employees of the Red Star Rolling Mill in the courtyard. You live together so that you can take care of them."

The leaders are really kind.
After Wang Weidong thanked Minister Fang repeatedly, he reported to the motorcade with the formalities.

There are ten trucks in the Red Star Rolling Mill fleet, which are specially responsible for transporting raw materials such as steel ingots and billets.

Niu Zhijun, the captain of the factory team, is a northeastern man with five big and three thick, dark complexion, and a bold man.

When he was a child, he had a dream of being a soldier. Seeing that Wang Weidong was a retired veteran, he was even more enthusiastic.

When he knew that Wang Weidong was Minister Fang's nephew, he even took out a car key: "You drive the car in the factory, go and move the salute back to the residence, don't delay going to work tomorrow."

Naturally, Wang Weidong took out the remaining half box of big-brimmed hats and stuffed them into his pocket under Niu Zhijun's prevarication.

"Brother Niu, I don't know how to smoke, so leave it here."

Being able to drive a truck to carry luggage naturally couldn't be easier.

Under the guidance of Niu Zhijun, Wang Weidong came to the parking lot.

When he saw the truck that was about to belong to him, his hands and feet softened immediately, and he said in his heart: "This fucking is a suspected car!"

"It's too bad!"

Most of the truck's paint has peeled off, and it can only be vaguely seen that it was originally a dark green truck, which should be converted from the military.The front of the truck is a few centimeters narrower than the width of the body, which was obviously changed later.There were several cracks on the front windshield, and a small stone was embedded in one of the impacts.As for the license plate, the numbers on it have long been unclear.

This car, which is not even as good as a scrap car, turned out to be the treasure of the five-star rolling mill, undertaking the heavy responsibility of transporting steel.

Wang Weidong had to admire that it was not easy for the predecessors to establish a complete industrial system in such a difficult environment.

"How about it? This is the newest car in our fleet. It is well maintained." Niu Zhijun patted the car cover, a little proud: "Jiefang CA-30, 90 horsepower, 6 cylinders, and a top speed of 65 kilometers per hour .”

Seeing that two rear axles were installed under the suspected car, Wang Weidong was a little curious: "Captain, how much is the load?"

Niu Zhijun laughed: "What's the load, as long as you can run, you can pretend."

Well, anyway, the traffic police on the road will not check.

Wang Weidong pursed his lips, opened the door, and got in the car.

The corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching when he saw the fake gear lever inserted into the gear shifter by a wooden prong.

Fortunately, Niu Zhijun didn't lie, the car was indeed well maintained.

The black iron rod was inserted into the hole, the buttocks were pouted, the arms were thrown away, and the engine started with a "boom".

Step on the clutch, put in first gear, release the clutch, add gas, and the truck starts slowly.

Although he knew that truck drivers were popular, Wang Weidong realized that he still underestimated the lofty status of trucks in the hearts of people in this era when he really enjoyed the undisguised envious eyes from passers-by.

Perhaps, the former Ferrari 911 plus an S-class co-pilot can be compared with the truck he drives now.

Thanks to Minister Fang's greeting, Wang Weidong quickly completed the formalities, took his luggage from the hotel, and drove to the courtyard.

Maybe it was because this car couldn't bear too many envious eyes, so it couldn't die. It was only two steps away from the courtyard, and with a "buzz", it turned off.

After lighting the ignition twice in a row and only feeling two massages, Wang Weidong realized that he had encountered a problem that old drivers often encountered, the car broke down.

In this era, the vehicle itself is a rarity, and there are even fewer car repairers, so every driver has a good skill in car repair.

Wang Weidong was no exception. After simply listening to the sound of starting, he realized that the spark plug should be broken.

Jiefang CA-30 is imitated from the Su Guojisi 150 truck, maybe it is afraid that those alcoholic guys will lick the spark plugs, which are hidden at the bottom of the front of the car.

In order to prevent dust from sticking to the clean blue and black coat, Wang Weidong ignored the cold wind, spread a piece of cloth on the ground, shirtless, and got into the bottom of the car.

Sure enough, the cap that bound the spark plug came loose.

Wang Weidong removed the spark plug, wiped it hastily, and poked it in.

Get it!

He slammed his legs on the opposite wheel and slid out from under the car.

But he found himself covered by a shadow.

He first saw a pair of canvas shoes, a pair of legs, and then up, he saw firm peaches.

No.

Beside Mitao, there was a face poking out.

With charming eyebrows and frightened face, a small cherry mouth opened and closed, unable to close.

Wang Weidong's heart was almost in his throat at this time, he only felt that the awkward atmosphere made it difficult for him to breathe.
