Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Chapter 40 Road Test, Exciting
Pile firewood under the car, pour the gasoline prepared in advance, and strike the matches.

"Bang", the reddish flame jumped up, swaying with the cold wind, gently licking the dark bottom of the car.

Now came the thrilling moment.

In this era, large cars use gasoline, which is easy to deflagrate.

If you are not careful, you may set off a big firecracker on the spot.

Li Weidong looked up and saw that each of the four examiners was holding a tin bucket filled with sand.

The fingers they held on the handles trembled from time to time, and it could be predicted that as long as there was a deflagration, they would immediately rush up and put out the fire with sand.

People these days are really real, why can't they go through the motions like the later generations?
Li Weidong has long studied how to bake a car.

Under the nervous eyes of the examiners, he skillfully moved the firewood, so that the bottom of the truck was evenly heated.

After a while, there was a faint cracking sound, which meant that the temperature inside had risen.

He stood up unhurriedly, kicked the fire out with a flying kick, picked up a torch from inside, and roasted the water tank again.

Only then did he open the door and take out the crank handle, which weighed more than ten kilograms, from under the seat, and poke it into the small hole in the front of the truck until the end.

Feel the protruding head of the crank stick into the groove of the engine, and then shake the crank hard.

Shaking the handlebar is the most troublesome thing for every truck driver. It requires not only effort but also skill.

Sometimes if you accidentally don't grasp it well, the crank will be reversed.

When the black iron bar shakes someone, it can be black and blue, or it can kill you half your life.

Of course, this is not a problem at all for Li Weidong, a comrade who relies on his own efforts to succeed.

It took less than 5 minutes to hear the engine "boom".

Niu Meng, who was standing not far away, rejoiced: "Master is great, come on!"

On the other hand, Niu Yong's expression was flat, with the demeanor of an old driver: "Well, my apprentice's performance is not satisfactory."

The ashen-faced old Zhang stared at him and said, "Isn't he your sister's master? How did he become your apprentice? What is the relationship between you and me?"

Niu Yong: "."

Time was running out, and Li Weidong didn't care about the vulgar performances outside the factory. He ran to the examiner and reported, "Candidate 0124 requests to get on the bus!"

"Get in the car!" The examiner took out a small book and began to follow the truck to record whether the line was pressed.

The pile test in the capital is not much different from that of later generations.

There are three projects: inverted pile, side pile and fixed-point pile. I heard that the pile test in the border mountainous area still needs to drive a truck on the steel pipe.

Since it is so simple, Li Weidong must have passed with full marks.

What surprised him was that Xiao Meng, who was nervous just now, also got full marks.

After the pile test, you need to wait for all the candidates to finish the test before going to the road test site.

Li Weidong could only go back to the sidelines and continue to enjoy the vulgarity.

In fact, it's quite interesting to watch Lao Zhang and Niu Yong, who are nearly half a century old, bickering like children there.

It took nearly two hours before more than 50 examinees finished the exam, and only eight passed.

"Candidates who pass the pile test get on the bus!"

The examiner drove a Gil 150 and stopped at the gate.

The examinees rushed forward and climbed into the car body with hands and feet.

"Okay, don't rub it anymore, it's time for me to play!" Li Weidong stood up from his chair and followed him outside.

Niu Meng slowly withdrew her little hand, raised her arm, and said with a serious expression: "Master, come on!"

Niu Yong waved: "Half the big front door!"

Lao Zhang became impatient at this meeting, and yelled at Xiao Meng: "Meng Wazi, if you dare to lose the chain, you can't compare to this raw melon egg. After labor and capital get out of the car, you will be allowed to sit in the car all the time!"

Nima, isn't it just to get a driver's license? It's so vulgar!
Fortunately, Niu Yong and his companions were not qualified to go to the road test center, so Li Weidong breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Xiaomeng squatting in the back of the truck, he stretched out his hand, "My name is Li Weidong, from the rolling mill."

Xiao Meng was an honest boy, and he was not indifferent because he was a competitor. He extended his hand enthusiastically: "My name is Meng Chuanjia, from the machinery factory."

Machinery factory?Li Weidong really wanted to ask if there was a doctor named Ding Qiunan in the factory.

It's just the first time we meet, so I'm always embarrassed to act like an LSP.

"Are you from He Nan's side?"

"Hey, how do you know? My hometown is from the summit. I was transferred from the army to the capital and became a worker."

".You seem to be about the same age as me. Why did you change jobs?"

"I'm 35 this year, and I have three children. My mother said that I look tender."

"."

Li Weidong was speechless.

He seemed to be about the same age as him, and already had three children, but he didn't have any.

It seems that after marrying Yu Li back home, having a baby must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

With a "click" brake sound, the truck stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Li Weidong followed the candidates and jumped out of the truck. The examiner pointed to the winding road on the mountain: "Our road test route this time is from here to the top of the mountain."

Since the exam was done in order, Li Weidong ranked fifth, so he squatted on the side of the road to bask in the sun with Xiaomeng and those candidates.

The first examinee to get on the bus was a pretty boy, and his calf was obviously trembling when he got on the bus.

Driving these days is all about guts, and those who are timid may fail.

Sure enough, the truck returned in less than 10 minutes.

The young man got out of the car, squatted on the side of the road and cried.

No one comforted him.

It is a disrespect to others and to national property to let such a person with poor psychological quality become a driver.

Xiao Meng was the second to take the exam. When he got in the car, he turned his head and made a well-known gesture at Li Weidong.

Damn, are you getting vulgar again?

Of course Li Weidong couldn't bear it, he stretched out his hands and gave him two well-known gestures in return.

Ten minutes later, the truck came back, and Lao Meng jumped out of the car cheering.

"Father, mother, I got my driver's license!"

He rushed to Li Weidong, saluted him, and was so excited that he even spit out dialect: "Comrade Li Weidong, thank you, I am nervous every time I take an exam. It has been two years since I was nervous. Pass the exam.

This time, due to the competition with Ye, my heart is full of confidence.

A 20-year-old kid dares to come to test his driver's license. I, an old driver who has been on the road for several years, have nothing to fear! "

The corner of Li Weidong's mouth twitched twice.

Thinking of Niu Yong and Lao Zhang's vulgar performance just now, I suddenly understood that I was the big villain.

However, the big villain also has a day of counterattack, and everything depends on his strength.

I've decided on the half of the cigarette.

The next two examiners quickly died, and soon it was Li Weidong's turn to take the exam.

Pouted his buttocks and stuffed the crank into the hole in front of the car. After a while of shaking, the engine roared.

Get in the car, hold the steering wheel and look ahead.

"Comrade examiner, candidate 0124 is ready, ready to take off!"

Examiner: ".Do you want to clear the runway for you?"

Still a little nervous, said bald mouth.

"Comrade examiner, candidate 0124 is ready, ready to start!"

"Start!"

Clutching and disengaging easily, accelerating the accelerator slowly, and putting down the handbrake, the truck rushed out like a beast.

The trucks of this era are very different from those of later generations. There are two clutches installed without synchronizers. When changing gears, you need to use one foot to operate both clutches at the same time. At the same time, the brake system is not sensitive. Sometimes you need to use the handbrake.

Of course, these are not a problem at all for veteran drivers who have driven trucks [-] times.

Seeing that the road test was halfway through, the examiner suddenly shouted: "Stop! Stop!"

Li Weidong was unmoved.
