The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 97

Luzhong City is the smallest prefecture-level city in Qilu Province. It has two counties under its jurisdiction, Laicheng County and Gangcheng County, with a total population of only about 120 million.

Among them, Laicheng County is much larger than Gangcheng County. Laicheng County has a population of more than 100 million, while Gangcheng County has a population of only 20.

Since Luzhong City was established as a prefecture-level city in 1992, many functional supporting departments in Gangcheng County have not been sound. Driving schools like this that have sprung up in various places after 1987 did not exist until 2004 in Gangcheng County.Before that, people in Gangcheng County had to go to Laicheng County if they wanted to learn a driver's license.

However, before 2004, the transportation was very inconvenient and the transportation fee was very expensive. It was not worthwhile for the people of Gangcheng County to spend time to learn a driver's license in Laicheng County.

And because at that time, there were many human factors and loopholes in the management of driver's licenses, many people had loopholes to take advantage of.

If it is related, you don't need to study, and then you can get the certificate directly for a little money, which was not a difficult task at the time.

Zheng Changyou was entrusted by the Wang family. On the one hand, he had to apply for a driver's license, and on the other hand, he had to help the Wang family inquire about second-hand cars, so he hurriedly rode his bicycle to Qingquanling Village on the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and left the bicycle for storage. After staying at a relative's house, I took a bus to Laicheng County from Qingquanling Village.

Zheng Changyou was very careful. He had more than 3000 yuan in his arms, and also the identity materials and photos of his two sons and Wang Shaodong.

Su Weiguo, Zheng Changyou's uncle's cousin, is now in charge of the vehicle management office, so he has the final say.

Beforehand, Zheng Changyou called Su Weiguo to confirm that he was going to work today, and then he went to the car with confidence.

The road from Qingquanling to Dazhai Village is much easier than the road from Taohualing Village to Dazhai Village outside. The Taohualing side is full of dirt roads, while the Qingquanling side has been built with asphalt roads. This is Qingquanling There is a reason for passenger cars to pass over there, but there is no reason for passenger cars to pass through Taohualing.

A dilapidated minibus stopped and went all the way, and it took nearly two hours to arrive at Nanye Town, Laicheng County, where the vehicle management office is located.

It was not the first time Zheng Changyou came to see Su Weiguo, so he found Su Weiguo's office easily.

There were several people sitting in his office. Zheng Changyou smiled foolishly at the door. Su Weiguo, who looked a little like him, smiled and nodded at him, and then shouted to a young boy outside the office suite. : "Xiao Sun, take him to the meeting room first, I'll be there in half an hour."

Xiaosun is Su Weiguo's secretary, he knows Zheng Changyou, he took him out with a smile, and said, "Brother Zheng, are you looking for your cousin again?"

"Ah, aunt and cousin, I miss you when you're gone."

"Of course, aunts and cousins ​​are the closest relatives."

The meeting room of the vehicle management office is right next to Su Weiguo's office. There is a large oval table in the middle, surrounded by many chairs.

Entering the conference room, Xiao Sun poured water for Zheng Changyou, and after receiving the water, Zheng Changyou said to Xiao Sun with some embarrassment: "Xiao Sun, go and do other things, I can do it myself."

Xiao Sun did have other things to do, so he chatted casually with Zheng Changyou and left.

Zheng Changyou was alone in this office, so he became curious about the things around him, looked at the bookcase, touched the flowers on the window sill, and before he knew it, half an hour passed.

"Cousin, I told you to wait."

Zheng Changyou was lying on a pot of longevity flowers and smelling it, when suddenly Su Weiguo hurried in from the outside.

Su Weiguo was stunned for a moment, looked at Zheng Changyou who was a little embarrassed, and said: "Cousin, if you like flowers, you can just pick a few pots and take them back if you like them."

"No, no, Wei Guo, I don't know how to grow flowers."

Su Weiguo smiled and beckoned Zheng Changyou to sit down, then took out a green box of Taishan cigarettes from his arms, opened it newly, took out one and handed it to Zheng Changyou.

In 2002, there was a saying in central Luzhong, which was "Taishan has a pen, and it's okay to mix. If you smoke a big chicken every day, you can mix it well."

Those who can smoke Taishan cigarettes every day are not ordinary people.

The section chief in the vehicle management office who is in charge of the annual inspection and review of vehicles has a lot of power.

Zheng Changyou happily accepted the cigarette from his cousin, and then lit Su Weiguo's lighter.

"Weiguo, I came to look for you yesterday. I went back and talked to my neighbor, and they said yes, and they are willing to do it."

While talking, Zheng Changyou took out 3000 yuan from his pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it towards Su Weiguo.

"This is 3000 yuan, and you will pay for both of your cousins."

Su Weiguo grabbed the 3000 yuan in a panic, then quickly pulled out 500 yuan from it, stuffed it into Zheng Changyou's arms, and said, "We are relatives, so we have to figure out something. I will give you the money from your neighbor." I won’t give up, I will give 500 yuan to my two cousins.”

"Here, Weiguo troubles you, I don't think it should be. If you do this again..."

"Pick it up quickly, don't let anyone see it!" Su Weiguo's face suddenly became serious when he saw the other party's refusal.

With a bang, the door opened, and Zheng Changyou held 500 yuan in his arms, and he didn't know whether to accept it or not.

"Su, Su Ke, Director Zhao is looking for you."

"Ahem, Xiao Sun, remember to knock on the door next time you come in, it's polite."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Su Ke, I must pay attention next time."

"Forget it, it's okay. Oh, yes, Xiao Sun, you find three forms and help my cousin get three driver's licenses."

Su Weiguo's secretary is probably familiar with the road, so he went out as soon as he agreed.

"Cousin, what, I have to see the director, you wait for me here after finishing the formalities, let's have a good drink at noon."

Zheng Changyou smiled and watched Su Weiguo go out.

"Hey wait."

Su Weiguo was about to reach the door, when Zheng Changyou suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly stopped him.

"What's the matter, cousin?" Su Weiguo turned his head to look at Zheng Changyou.

"Oh, by the way, Wei Guo, let me ask you, if I want to buy a second-hand car, how can I buy it?"

Su Weiguo pointed at Zheng Changyou with a smile and said, "Cousin, if you want to buy a second-hand car, you can find Xiao Sun Zhun."

Then he turned and walked out.

Xiao Sun brought the form and helped Zheng Changyou fill it out in the conference room.

Then Zheng Changyou asked about buying a second-hand car, and Xiaosun readily agreed to contact him for help.

However, the Wang family just asked Zheng Changyou to help him find out if he could buy a second-hand car. As for the information about what brand to buy, how big the car was, how heavy it was, they didn't tell him at all.

So in the end, after Zheng Changyou completed the procedures for applying for a driver's license, he asked for Xiaosun's phone number, and hurried back to Taohualing Village.
