The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 95 Preparing to Apply for a Driver's License
Familiar with the road, before ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Shaodong sold 92 chickens on Qishan, and got back 8620 yuan.

Today's chickens are bigger, so they sell for more money.

Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao saw so much money for the first time, their eyes were full of desire for wealth.

People die for money, birds die for food, there is no one in the world who does not love money.It's just that a gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way.

"Zheng Hui, how much do you earn a day working in the South?"

The chickens were sold out, and the three of them chatted while packing their things.

The three little friends grew up playing together since they were young. Although Wang Shaodong didn't meet much during the three years he was in high school, they would still get together to chat and have fun during the Chinese New Year.

"Rarely, we don't have any skills, so we can only work as apprentices. It costs about [-] yuan a month, but we don't care about food and lodging."

These days, apprentices who pay more than three hundred yuan for food and lodging are considered a normal level.

These days, the national per capita net income is only 7000 yuan, and three hundred yuan for a month of food and housing is almost equivalent to 500 yuan, which is comparable to the national per capita net income.

If they didn't have the care of their own uncle, it would be difficult to find such a job.

"If I give you two 20 yuan a day to help me with my work, will you two do it?"

Zheng Tao was obviously surprised.

In the past few days, I have accompanied Wang Shaodong to deliver chickens, twenty a day, obviously because there are more elements of care during the Chinese New Year.If it is said that the salary of [-] is paid a day for many years, it is really caring.

"Brother Dongzi, twenty a day, that's the price of a big worker in the construction team. What do you want me to do? Raise chickens?"

The daily salary of the chicken-raising helper hired by the Wang family is [-], which is also reasonable.If you talk about twenty wages a day, it must be doing heavy manual labor.

Wang Shaodong smiled: "I won't let you do heavy work, just follow me, and just tell you what I need to do at any time. In most cases, there is nothing to do."

Zheng Hui also became puzzled: "Brother Dongzi, I know that your family has made a lot of money raising chickens for several years, but I really don't understand. What's the use of you hiring us to follow you? Besides, my brothers and I Those who have no culture, no technology, no eloquence, are not worth the money."

No reward for no merit, Zheng Hui is a real person, and will not take other people's money for no reason.

Wang Shaodong patted Zheng Hui on the shoulder, and then said: "No, you two are worth this money, even you two are worth much more than this. Both of you are honest people, good brothers of my Wang Shaodong, with you With the two by my side, I feel like I have a helper, and no matter what I do in the future, I will feel at ease." Wang Shaodong trusted the two of them.

Wang Shaodong's words moved the two Zheng brothers a little. Zheng Tao pretended to be blinded by sand and wiped his eyes. In fact, Wang Shaodong knew the reason why Zheng Tao wiped his eyes.

Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao must have suffered a lot working in the south, but they didn't see much money. Hearing that the little friend hired himself as his attendant with a high salary, can the two little friends not be moved.

"Dong, brother Dongzi, then, if you say so, I, I will listen to you from now on."

Zheng Hui stuttered when he was excited, and many people have this problem.

Wang Shaodong nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at Zheng Tao again.

Zheng Tao nodded sincerely with a smile, and said, "Then I have to go home and tell my uncle that I won't go to work with him in the south next year."

Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao are very similar in appearance, with a simple face, a stocky figure, and a shrewd look behind the simple and honest.

Wang Shaodong snapped his fingers and said to the two brothers, "Okay, brothers, let's go home."

Driving along the wind, Wang Shaodong thought to himself, it is so cold in this winter, riding a motorcycle is quite chic, but his body can't bear it.

Afterwards, Zheng Tao and Zheng Hui followed him. If he bought a container and gave them a driver's license, and let them deliver the goods, wouldn't it be easier for him?

In 2002, there were still a lot of shady things about applying for a driver's license. If you have connections, you can get a license without taking the test.

Across the country, there were driving schools after 87, but in Gangcheng County, there were no driving schools until 2004. Before that, if you want to test your driver's license, you can only go to Laicheng County, Luzhong City to take part in the study ,take an exam.

In the previous life, Wang Shaodong remembered that Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao's family obtained their driver's licenses at this time, which means that their family should have some relationship with the vehicle management office.

When the time comes, tell Zheng Changyou, let him find a way to get a driver's license for himself, and save the time to study in a driving school in the future.

After returning to Taohualing Village, Wang Shaodong gave 8400 yuan to his mother Zhao Shiling, and then gave Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao [-] yuan each, saying that it was an advance payment for the next five days' wages.

In 2002, it was good if the wages of migrant workers were not in arrears, but there were really few bosses who could pay in advance.

Then, Wang Shaodong told his mother that he would go to Zheng Hui's house to discuss something, so he asked Zheng Hui to go home on his own motorcycle, while he and Zheng Tao chatted and walked towards the middle of the village.

Taohualing Village is a small village located on a piece of relatively flat land at the foot of the mountain. Because there is relatively little flat land, the scale of the whole village is also very small, with only a few dozen households.

On the way, Wang Shaodong chatted with Zheng Tao consciously or unconsciously, and found out that their family did have a relative who worked in the vehicle management office.

The driver's license test in this era is basically still controlled by humans. As long as you say hello in advance, you can pass if there are no serious problems in the operation.

When passing by the canteen in the village, Wang Shaodong bought some peanuts, ham sausage and so on, saying that he wanted to have lunch at Zheng's house.

After winter, Zheng Changyou, who works in construction, has nothing to do and stays at home all day.In fact, not only him, many laborers in the village have been idle at home since winter.

The whole village already knew that the Wang family had made a fortune, and then looked at the back of the eldest son of the Wang family, and started talking about it.

When Wang Shaodong arrived at Zheng Changyou's house, he saw Zheng Changyou sharing pancakes with his wife.

"Uncle Zheng, delicious pancakes, I'm still hungry."

When Zheng Changyou's wife heard this, she hurriedly said, "It's easy to talk when you're hungry, and my aunt will make pancakes for you."

Wang Shaodong tore open a whole pack of ham sausages, and distributed two to each of Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao, kept two for himself, and put the rest aside.

The three of them were a little hungry, so they sat next to the griddle where Zheng Hui's parents spread the pancakes, and started eating while warming up.

"Dongzi, your family will be the richest man in our village in the future." Zheng Changyou's wife said enviously.

While eating, several people chatted.

While chatting, Wang Shaodong changed the topic to the issue of applying for a driver's license.

"Oh, by the way, uncle, I have an idea, that is, I heard from Zheng Tao that there is a relative in your family who works in the vehicle management office. Can you ask him and find a way to help me and Zheng Hui and Zheng Hui?" Tao has obtained a driver's license, and then I have discussed with Zheng Tao and Zheng Hui, and they will follow me in the future, and I will give them 20 a day. When the driver's license comes down, then I will buy another box of goods, so that Send chickens to Qishan and drive there, so you don’t have to suffer from freezing in winter mornings and rainy days in summer.”

Zheng Changyou's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he hurriedly said, "Hey, Dongzi, it's ok, I plan to ask about this in the past two days. So, I will go to my relative's house in the afternoon to ask about it, and in the evening I'll go to your house and write to you."

"That's great, Uncle, then I'll be waiting for you every night."

Wang Shaodong was very happy, he could finally enjoy the fun of posture again.
