Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Chapter 75 Extra Money
The guest house of the state-owned 9621 factory is located in the living area, built in another small ravine outside the compound.

More than a dozen dormitory buildings are built along the mountain, and the tallest building made of red bricks is only five floors.

There are some dry bases made of rammed earth below, which should be for waterproofing.

Although the guest house is simple, it is relatively clean.

Two people, one person, one room.

Comrade waiter brought a tin thermos pot and an enamel washbasin to help light the charcoal fire.

The room suddenly warmed up.

"Comrade, don't close the door at night."

"why?"

"Cough, in case you are poisoned, we can rush in to save you."

"."

Li Weidong looked at the flickering charcoal fire in silence, thought for a while, then turned and opened the window.

The cold wind slipped in through the gap, it was chilly.

Be cold, be safe!

After a tiring day, Li Weidong couldn't keep his eyelids open.

Lie heavily on the bed, and lay down a word.

A night without dreams.

In the early morning, I was awakened by the sound of a high-pitched horn: "Our team faces the sun, steps on the land of the motherland, shoulders the hope of the motherland...forward, forward..."

In the early morning of winter, the heat in the bed and the body temperature of the person just meet, forming a natural atmosphere that makes people reluctant to get up.

Still wanting to sleep for a while, there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Master, master, we should go and make money!"

Yes, the apprentice is right, making money is important.

Li Weidong got up yawning, and after washing up, he and Niu Meng walked to the parking lot.

The morning in the arsenal was not good. There was a thick layer of soot floating in the sky, and the loud noise of the clamping hammer could be heard everywhere.

What surprised Li Weidong was that there were too many bullet casings here.

Before taking two steps, Li Weidong kicked a bullet casing.

The shell was fired far away and landed with a crisp sound.

After starting the truck, Li Weidong suddenly heard the roar of heavy artillery from a distance.

The sound of cannons was continuous, and one cannon was heavier than the other. Looking from a distance, thick black smoke rose from the mountains.

This should be the deputy of the team who is testing the gun. I hope that two wild boars can be killed today.

Start the truck, turn the steering wheel, and after another check by the sentries, the truck leaves the arsenal.

Niu Meng spread the national highway map on the instrument panel and turned into an artificial intelligence navigator: "Hey, master, please turn left at the fork on the left, turn left and then turn right, turn right and then turn left, we will arrive at Zhangjia city."

The Gill 150 is capable of 65 yards when empty.

It took Li Weidong less than an hour to drive a truck to the outskirts of Zhangjia City.

Through the early morning mist, the low-rise buildings in the suburbs can be vaguely seen.

Li Weidong stopped the truck, took out the red cloth under the seat and covered the license plate on the back.

Then I drove to the car and moved on.

When he saw a group of people standing at the intersection of the road, Li Weidong slowed down and slowly approached.

In the cold wind, a group of commune members in ragged padded jackets crouched at the intersection, smoking and chatting.

"I don't know that there is a passing car to the capital today."

"Oh, I've been waiting for three days. My daughter's family is in my arms. I gave birth to a big fat boy a while ago. I saved up a basket of eggs and asked the commune to issue a certificate, but I couldn't buy a ticket."

"Three days is nothing. I've been waiting for almost ten days. My son is studying in the capital. My wife and I want to visit him."

"Ah, ah, I really want to hear the sound, is the car coming?"

When the crowd saw the truck jumping out of the horizon, they hurriedly waved and ran over.

"Comrade conductor, please get ready!"

Li Weidong "hehe smiled", turned the steering wheel, and the truck drove towards the intersection.

"Yes!" Niu Meng pulled out a canvas bag from under the car seat and carried it in front of him. He looked very much like a bus driver.

"Click!" With one foot on the brakes, the truck slowly stopped in front of the crowd.

"Master, are you going to Harbin City?"

"Are you pregnant?"

"What about Su City, I'm going to Su City."

The crowd pushed to the front of the truck.

Niu Meng rolled down the car window and yelled twice before the crowd dispersed.

She jumped out of the car and shouted loudly: "The car back to the capital, comrades going to the capital, please line up."

"Also, big guys take out all the letters of introduction, and those who don't have letters of introduction leave early, I'll pretend I didn't see you."

Passengers have long known the rules and lined up to pay.

"Comrade, I'm going to Huairou." An old woman with a flowered scarf on her head, an egg basket and a big package on her back asked.

"It's more than 200 kilometers to Huairou, and the fare is two yuan." Niu Meng said.

"The secretary of the commune really didn't lie, the passing cars are cheap."

The aunt took out a very old handkerchief from her pocket, and opened it layer by layer, revealing neatly rolled banknotes inside.

The tan trucks, the pale green Yangtze River Bridge, and the reddish-brown hydropower station are the biggest face value.

She counted out two dollars carefully, and handed it to Niu Meng: "Girl, here are two dollars, here it is."

Niu Meng took the banknotes, looked her up and down, and said, "Auntie, it's freezing cold, you're so old, you can't stand sitting in the back of the car."

"It's okay, my aunt is in a strong body, she is the 'front row' in the commune, and can earn ten work points every day like a man." The aunt said and patted the package behind her,

"Besides, bring a quilt!"

Perhaps the aunt was afraid that the little comrade would not let her get in the car, so she climbed into the car while talking.

Zhangjia City has a long-distance bus to Huairou, but the ticket is hard to buy, and the fare is twice that of the passing bus.

If you have that money, why not buy some old silver and give your grandson a long life lock.

Li Weidong stared straight at her. This aunt is probably in her 50s, and her skills are as good as the young man's.

"Okay, if you really feel cold later, you can call me." Niu Meng handed over the egg basket.

Then turn around and collect money by borrowing.

"Girl, I'm going to Gu's camp."

"Gujiaying, 50 kilometers, you will be charged 5 cents."

"I'm going to Su City."

"Young man, don't make trouble, but Su City!"

The people who got on the truck laughed, and those members who were not on the way could only squat back again, hoping for good luck.

The truck started again, Li Weidong turned and put down the plate with a concentrated expression, while Niu Meng counted the harvest just like a little money fan.

"One point, two points. We took sixteen passengers just now, and we earned a total of two yuan and thirty cents. We can buy more than 70 steamed buns."

The small face is filled with a happy smile that belongs only to the rice cooker.

"Is this what you're promising? From now on, I will follow the master, and I will guarantee you to eat meat!" Li Weidong grinned.

No wonder those guys in the security department are so envious of the truck driver, the extra money is so easy to come by.

There are few vehicles on the roads in this era, and long-distance bus and train tickets are hard to find.

If you don't want to ride your bike for hundreds of miles in the cold wind, the best thing to do is wait for passing cars.

The trucks in the rolling mill usually left full and returned empty, and it was easy to pick up thirty or forty passengers.

At least seven or eight yuan can be earned each time, which is often more than the driver's salary.

It has long been a rule that you can't do it by sending people and goods to make extra money.

If the people don't raise their names, and the officials don't investigate, it's like a cook bringing leftovers.

Moreover, even if someone wants to report, there is no evidence.

The license plate on the back of the car has been covered with a red cloth, who are you reporting!

Of course, you can only pick someone up during the day.

The roads are not safe, and it is an old rule for trucks not to stop at night.

Niu Meng lay on the car window, clutching the canvas bag tightly, watching the shadow of the tree receding rapidly, blushing with excitement: "Master, let me sing a song for you!"

"Don't, don't, I'm not dozing off now!" Li Weidong turned the steering wheel around a donkey cart.

Niu Meng: "."

Since the fuel gauge of the truck was broken long ago, Li Weidong estimated how much fuel was left based on his experience.

After passing Gujiaying, Li Weidong braked to stop the truck when he saw a small river ditch on the side of the road.

Shouted to the passengers in the car: "Big guy, wait for a while, add some water, add some oil!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's still early!"

The middle-aged uncle in the truck helped to hand down the oil drum, and the dozen or so passengers also took the opportunity to jump out of the car and went straight to the nearby grove.

why?People have three urgencies!
