Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 84

At two o'clock in the morning, Wang Weidong woke up drowsily.

Put on a thick padded jacket, a thick scarf, and a felt hat, and wrap them up tightly.

Looking in the mirror, hey, it looks like a big black bear.

open the door.

It was pitch black outside, and the cold wind was blowing against your face, making it hard to breathe.

"Strive for the construction of the motherland!"

Wang Weidong stomped his feet and shouted a slogan to encourage him.

Riding on the bicycle, out of the courtyard, along the dark street, ran towards the rolling mill.

The hazy mist covered the dim street lights, and everything was quiet, except for the sound of bicycle wheels rubbing against the ground.

The cold wind hit the sky like a knife, even if Wang Weidong was wearing a thick padded jacket, it would not help.

In less than a moment, the whole face became numb.

Fortunately, the rolling mill is not far away, and it took less than 10 minutes to arrive at the gate of the factory.

There was a dim yellow light in the gatehouse.

Hearing the bell of the car, the security officer opened the window and poked his head out.

"Weidong, it's so early?"

"Help the street with vegetables today."

"That's a good job!"

Wang Weidong rode his bicycle through the gate and drove towards the convoy.

The security officer just now was right. It is indeed a good job to help transport winter vegetables.

Not only are there additional subsidies, but they can also solve the problem of their own winter vegetable storage.

At the same time, this is also a supporting task in the factory, which can be regarded as doing private work aboveboard.

After the winter in the capital, there are few vegetables and the prices are very expensive.

Therefore, the vegetables for the whole winter must be prepared before the first heavy snow falls.

Due to the large quantity, in order to facilitate the masses to buy, the vegetable station is at the entrance of the alley, and the vegetable market has set up a winter storage vegetable sales point.

What Wang Weidong has to do is to transport the winter vegetables from the vegetable warehouse in the suburbs of Beijing.

He tied up his bicycle, covered his red ears and rushed into the control room.

In the control room, Niu Zhijun, Yu Changsheng and Zhou Zhi were already waiting.

Zhou Zhi's uncle is the deputy director of the vegetable warehouse, and he was the one who contacted him about the vegetable transportation this time.

"Weidong is here, let's go!"

Speaking of starting, we need to heat the fuel tank.

The four of them moved firewood from the maintenance workshop together, set up a bonfire under the car, and died!

Check the water tank, tires, rear axle as usual
Wang Weidong pouted his buttocks and shook the truck.

The dim light emitted by the headlights sprinkled on the undulating road, casting jagged and mottled black shadows.

The truck was driving slowly in the silence, and Wang Weidong rolled up the window to let the cold air rush in and wash away the drowsiness.

At three o'clock in the morning, the vegetable warehouse in the suburbs of Beijing was brightly lit and full of voices.

Horse-drawn carriages, paizi carts, and tricycles lined up in long lines.

People were all dressed like big brown bears, covering their ears in the cold wind, breathing heavily.

Wang Weidong just parked the car and jumped out of the cab.

A middle-aged man in a thick padded jacket, earmuffs, and frost-stained hair hurried over.

He should be a relative of Zhou Zhi's deputy director.

The middle-aged man walked to Zhou Zhi's side, and said with a smile, "You boy, you don't come home these few days, your aunt has repeated it several times."

"Uncle, isn't the motorcade busy?" Zhou Zhi shrank his neck.

Middle-aged man: "Okay, let's not talk. There are a lot of people who come to pull the winter vegetables today, you have to wait for a while."

As he spoke, he took out four receipts from his pocket and handed them to Zhou Zhi.

"There's a number on it, just drive in when it's your turn."

"I still have work to do, so I won't lead you in."

"Go, uncle, I'm not a child anymore!" Zhou Zhi pouted.

The middle-aged man smiled and waved to Wang Weidong and the others as a greeting, and hurried to the warehouse.

Just halfway there, he seemed to remember something, turned around and walked over.

Confess in a low voice: "Wait while the truck is being loaded, tell the stevedores that you are a relative of Director Wang."

"Understood, thank you uncle, I will definitely speak well of you in front of my aunt when I go back!" Zhou Zhi laughed.

"Boy, learn to be glib!"

This time, the middle-aged man was relieved, turned around and disappeared into the noisy crowd.

After Wang Weidong came to this world, he had never pulled the green pass, so his heart moved and he leaned over.

"Zhou Zhi, what did your uncle mean just now?"

Zhou Zhi turned around and took a look around. Seeing that there were no outsiders, he explained in a low voice: "Generally, when you enter a big warehouse to pull vegetables, the drivers need to help load the vegetables."

Halfway through the conversation, it stopped abruptly.

But Wang Weidong understands everything.

This is similar to the previous life, the driver is used as half a loader.

Of course, if you don't want to be a stevedore, you can also prepare good cigarettes.

The world has been reincarnated for decades, but it has not changed.

Taking advantage of the waiting time, Wang Weidong squeezed through the crowd curiously, approached Dacang, and peeked inside.

The warehouse is very large, with brown sackcloth blankets spread out on the ground, and all kinds of vegetables are placed on it.

Vegetables are mainly Chinese cabbage, which is big, cheap and easy to eat.

There are also radishes, pumpkins, potatoes, and green onions.

Every family has to save hundreds of catties of Chinese cabbage, so as not to be served in the next spring.

The people who came to pull the vegetables, together with the stevedores, put the vegetables into the sacks.

There is no weighbridge these days, and they need to carry the old-fashioned pole scales to weigh vegetables.

The staff next to it will adjust the position of the weight, and record the quantity after the two sides are balanced.

When the total number of vegetables matches the quantity on the receipt, the person pulling the vegetables will leave the vegetable warehouse with satisfaction.

The green pass allows loss, but if the loss is too much, the driver must compensate.

There are a lot of people in the warehouse and it looks chaotic, but under the watchful eyes of the warehouse managers, everything is in order.

Soon, carts of vegetables drove towards the capital along the pitch black.

Zhou Zhi whispered beside him: Anyone who dares to cause trouble here, the vegetable warehouse will not only let him go, but also notify the work unit and the street to which he belongs.

No wonder Wang Weidong slandered him so honestly.

After waiting for half an hour, it was Wang Weidong's turn to load the dishes.

Four trucks drove into the vegetable warehouse under the envious eyes of the cows and horses.

"Comrade, let's pack the dishes."

Zhou Zhi handed the four receipts to the administrator at the door.

"Each car weighs [-] catties. There are so many people today, so it's a bit tricky."

The management personnel quickly stamped the stamp and handed the receipt back again.

"okay!"

"Weidong, let's go find the loading head."

Zhou Zhi hesitated while holding the bill, but decided to call Wang Weidong.

This kid is smart and knows how to deal with people.

In the corner of the warehouse, a dozen big men were sitting on the benches to rest.

Although it is winter time.

The single clothes on their bodies were already soaked with sweat, white mist was coming from their heads, and they kept wiping the sweat from their foreheads with the towels of unclear color hanging around their necks.

I saw Wang Weidong and Zhou Zhi approaching.

A man like a black tower glanced at the truck parked in the distance and snorted dissatisfied.

That's right, they've been busy since midnight, and finally took a break, and four more big guys came.

No one will be happy.

The attitude of the man in the black tower made Zhou Zhi stern, and was about to step forward to negotiate, but was pulled back by Wang Weidong.

Although they have Director Wang's precious sword, these stevedores dare not not load the trucks.

But they can deliberately do bad things when loading cars.

As long as you use a little more strength and a little more movement when loading vegetables, those fragile vegetables will be broken into eight petals.

At that time, even if the comrades who sell vegetables are willing to accept these defective vegetables, they will leave a bad reputation.

The next time there is a job to transport vegetables, the grocery store may blacklist them.

That's not worth the candle.

Under the surprised eyes of the black tower man, Wang Weidong took out the red box of Hundred Flowers from his pocket and distributed one to everyone.

"Brother, we are relatives of Director Wang, and we are here to pull vegetables today."
