The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 317 Set a small goal!!

"Today the transport company is sending a batch of building materials to Fengtai, Fangshan, Changping and other major communes to support construction. Each student will be responsible for loading and unloading a truck.

Each bag weighed about 100 jin, and it cost two cents to fill a bag and one cent to unload a bag. After finishing the work, you could get paid on the same day and leave without any delay.

The wages are not bad, but you have to follow the car, go in the morning and come back in the evening, and the work is a bit heavy...

Those who agree to do this can stay, and the transport company will send a truck to pick you up later. Those who disagree can leave now."

Zhang Shenfei told everyone today's mission with just a few words.

Although many of the students present came from rural areas, they had done farm work since childhood, such as planting rice, harvesting wheat, transplanting rice seedlings and farming.

But after entering the city, I went straight to university. Although universities in those days were not closed-off, everyone usually turned a deaf ear to the outside world and studied hard every day.

I seldom go shopping on weekends, and I never thought about finding a job to earn money before the student union proposed work-study programs, not to mention that the company I was going to work for was a transportation company.

Where is the transport company???
In this era when transportation basically relies on walking and the only means of transport are donkey carts, horse carts, or buses at most, being able to ride in a four-wheeled vehicle is extremely eye-catching.

"This is a good job today. Not only can I make money, but I can also ride on a truck."

"I've never ridden in a truck before..."

"When I came to Beijing to attend university, I first took a donkey cart, then a bus, and then a truck to the train station..."

"I heard that if you take a car for the first time, you might get carsick..."

"When I was a kid, I often carried wheat for my parents... A bag of building materials cost two cents to load and one cent to unload. Isn't this money like picking it up for free?"

“I think I can carry at least fifty bags!!!” Fifty bags, that’s fifty cents!! Enough to buy three and a half pounds of flour!!!

"I'm going to deliver building materials to the commune. Maybe I can come across some fruit or dried fruit there. I can even buy some from fellow villagers. No, I can ask for some..."

"This is the first time I've ever earned money. I'm a little nervous..."

"I used to send 12 yuan back home every month... I must stick with this job. If I send more, my family of 17 can have more food to eat..."

Everyone was talking about it, saying all kinds of things, but no one left.

Although there were only a dozen people participating in the work-study program, they came from all over the country and from various majors at Yenching University.

But without exception, they were all from the poorest families, and their families squeezed money out of their teeth to support them through college.

So now, these people are also the most eager to give back to their families and to send a little more, even if it is just a few cents back to their hometown.

"President Zhang, no one wants to leave!!! We can persevere no matter how difficult it is, so you can rest assured!!!" Several people said with firm eyes.

Zhang Shenfei nodded with satisfaction upon seeing this, and asked Chen Yizhi to explain the precautions to everyone, while he waited on the side.

It's still early now, and I guess it will take a while for the truck sent by the transportation company to arrive.

Those students had not eaten breakfast for fear of being late, so while waiting, they took out their steamed bread and pickles and started eating them in big mouthfuls.

Seeing this, Chen Yizhi approached Zhang Shenfei and whispered:

"We should really let Chang Ruifeng see what the students he mentioned who receive a 20 yuan government subsidy and have no difficulties in life usually eat."

"It's useless to let him see it. People like him only think about problems from their own perspective and never put themselves in other people's shoes." Zhang Shenfei said.

Chang Ruifeng really saw it.

I'm afraid he will only think that these students sending their living expenses back to their hometowns goes against the original intention of the country to provide scholarships to college students.

In the end, I have to eat steamed buns and pickles here. It's all my own fault.

"Yes, in my opinion, it would be fine if our work-study society fails. If it does succeed, Chang Ruifeng will feel so frustrated.

You should also be more careful and not let him catch you with anything." Chen Yizhi has worked with Chang Ruifeng for two years and believes that he knows his character very well.

"Am I afraid of him?" Zhang Shenfei laughed.

Just like Chang Ruifeng, who has ambition written all over his face, holds his neck high and chest puffed out every day, looking down on everyone... He is exactly the same as his sister-in-law in the courtyard.

But who is his sister-in-law? She is Tang Danniu who gave birth to nine sons! She has a lot of capital.

When the nine great Vajras stand there, who in the courtyard dares to show their teeth? ? ?

What does Chang Ruifeng have to be as awesome as his sister-in-law? How dare he be so wild?
Zhang Shenfei felt that this was only the case in college.

If he moved to another place, such as a steel rolling mill, there would be no need for anyone to help, as people like Sha Zhu and Xu Damao would be able to teach Chang Ruifeng a lesson.

However, Zhang Shenfei has just become the president of the Student Union, and the most difficult period is about to come, and there are many things to do.

simply put,
It's just that Zhang Shenfei's time is very precious, so Zhang Shenfei didn't rush to make trouble. Zhang Shenfei was just prepared to free up his hands to deal with this guy.

Zhang Shenfei and Chen Yizhi were chatting casually when they saw a Jiefang CA10 driving proudly towards the gate of Yenching University.

The big truck attracted the attention of the students at the school gate, and everyone had guessed that the car was here to pick them up.

There was still some uneaten steamed bread in his hand, which he immediately stuffed into his mouth and chewed with big mouthfuls.

Through the front windshield of the pig-nosed Jiefang car, Zhang Shenfei saw the fat man's increasingly fat face, giving him a greasy smile.

After a sharp squeaking sound of brakes, the truck stopped firmly in front of the gate of Yenching University.

“Hey, Dafei!! Long time no see!!!

You are so mean. You didn’t even bother to come and play with us when you came back to Nanluoguxiang on the weekend. "

The fat man stuck his head out of the driver's seat's window, spoke to Zhang Shenfei in a gruff and angry voice, then jumped out of the car and walked towards Zhang Shenfei with a ruthless step.

This guy was originally a hooligan. Even though he joined the transportation company, he still didn't change his nature as a hooligan. He walked like Gao Qiqiang, shaking his shoulders as he walked.

The people present were all college students who had stayed in ivory towers. How could they have seen this co-pilot before? ? ? Everyone was suddenly a little nervous, and even had some doubts about the transportation company.

"Student Zhang Shenfei, is this person... a driver?" Chen Yizhi approached Zhang Shenfei, his eyes full of confusion.

Zhang Shenfei patted his arm soothingly: "This is a childhood friend of mine. He is now a driver in a transportation company. He was promoted to deputy fourth level a while ago. He is a serious and respectable person."

Drivers of this era were divided into five grades and ten levels, with deputy grade five being the lowest and regular grade one being the highest.

But even the lowest level, deputy level five, has a monthly salary of more than 40 yuan, and the deputy level four has a monthly salary of up to 56 yuan.

In addition to the normal salary, drivers receive a 60-cent subsidy per day for driving within the city, and up to one dollar per day for long-distance driving.

In addition, the driver's food ration is 40 kilograms per month, which is 4 kilograms more than that of heavy manual workers.

It can be said,
In this era when most occupations have no gray income, drivers are definitely the envy of most people.

After hearing Zhang Shenfei say that this fat guy was actually a deputy level 4 pilot and always flew long distances, Chen Yizhi and the others no longer had any tension in their eyes when they looked at the fat guy, and instead, they looked at him as if he were a pillar of the country.

Zhang Shenfei saw this and said that people who live long enough can see everything. He probably never thought that someone would think that a fat man, a social outcast, is a pillar of the country.

"Da Fei, you bastard!!! I'm asking you a question, didn't you hear me?" As he spoke, the fat man walked over and punched Zhang Shenfei.

Everyone gasped when they saw this.

Zhang Shenfei dodged the fat man's fist and kicked him on the butt without any hesitation: "I'm busy kicking my feet every day, how can I have time to chat with you?"

"Hey, now that he got into university, he looks down on us, his uneducated childhood friends." The fat man blew his beard and glared.

"Not at all. How can you be considered a person who hasn't even graduated from primary school? And you still want to sit at the same table with me to eat." Zhang Shenfei sneered.

The fat man was anxious: "Who said that he didn't graduate from primary school? I am studying in night school after work, and now I have learned the knowledge of the fourth grade of primary school."

The fourth grade of primary school is the senior primary school!!! It is much higher than the junior primary school!!!
The fat boy held his head high and was very proud. "Wotou'er" said that he would take him to meet his parents when he got his technical secondary school or high school diploma.

He also thought about it secretly. According to his current learning progress, he has set small goals for himself.
Around 1965 or 1966, you can get a technical secondary school diploma.

By then, he can take home his "steamed bread"!!!

"Don't be shameless. Look, you've made a fool of yourself, right? You've made your classmates laugh at you, right?" Zhang Shenfei looked at the fat man with a look of disappointment.

"Puchi..." Chen Yizhi couldn't help laughing. He felt that Zhang Shenfei today was a little different from usual.

Although I knew that Zhang Shenfei had worked in society before, most of the time he looked like a student in school, no different from everyone else.

Today, I saw him meet his childhood friend, and he was joking and very lively. It seemed like a completely different side of him.

Seeing Zhang Shenfei making fun of him, the fat guy became unhappy and insisted on arguing with him about the differences between high school and elementary school.

Zhang Shenfei didn't want to bother with the fat guy anymore. While respectfully calling him a cultured man, he yelled at him to drive everyone to the transportation company.

The fat man didn't waste any time. He waved his hand and asked Chen Yizhi to arrange for the students to climb into the back of the truck.

Although there are traffic police in this era,

However, there is no restriction that trucks cannot carry passengers. As long as they can fit into the huge rear bed, you can cram as many people as possible.

After making arrangements for Chen Yizhi, the fat man walked to the cab of the car with the iron crank, ready to start the truck.

The latest model of Jiefang CA10 can be started directly with the key, but how expensive is the car? ?

Most drivers are reluctant to abuse the battery in this way and are still accustomed to using the crank to start the truck.

This rocking car requires not only strength but also certain skills.

When shaking the car, you must react quickly, not be distracted, and have a good feel for it.

If you feel something is wrong, retreat immediately. The most worrying thing at this time is that the engine ignites too early and suddenly reverses, causing the crank to reverse.

Once it happens, if you don't retreat in time, your arm may be injured at the very least, and there is a risk of fracture in serious cases.

With the fat man's skillful operation, the Great Liberation was successfully launched.

After Zhang Shenfei saw that everyone was in the car, he opened the passenger door and sat in. The fat man got in the car and handed him a cigarette.

Zhang Shenfei took it and puffed away the cigarette without any hesitation.

"You are studying hard and living a peaceful life, so why do you have to make things difficult for yourself?" The fat man said vaguely, a cigarette in his mouth.

He did ask around.

Zhang Shenfei gave all the money that the transportation company paid for each package of goods to the students, without making any profit.

Isn't this tantamount to charity?

"What are you saying? If I don't want money, can't I do something good?
We have been friends for so many years, haven't you seen clearly that I don't like money at all... What is money? ? It's just something outside of one's body." Zhang Shenfei said confidently.

Upon hearing this, the fat man sneered, "We are all brothers, so let's stop pretending."

Well, it seems that this person can’t be established in front of acquaintances.

Zhang Shenfei curled his lips and smiled, then told the fat man about the plight of these poor college students.

"Tell me, they are already in such a difficult situation, how can I catch lice and squeeze out the oil?"

The fat man was silent for a moment after hearing this. "It is said that there is also a tradition between parents and children. Those rural parents have devoted all their money to support their children to go to high school and college. Now that these children have some ability, they want to repay their parents... That's great."

At this point, he changed the subject: "Da Fei, why can't I meet such good parents?"

"Ah, this..." Thinking of the fat man's background, Zhang Shenfei didn't know how to respond to this, and finally he could only comfort him, "We are not related to each other, so there is no need to force it.

Anyway, the hardest days are over, and you are an adult now and your life is pretty good."

"That's right." The fat man turned his head and looked at Zhang Shenfei and said seriously, "Brother, I can have a good life today, thanks to you.

God has been very kind to me. Although I don’t have good parents, I have good brothers. Dafei, to be honest, in my heart, you are closer to me than my own father!!”

Oh my god, why are you being so sentimental?

Zhang Shenfei touched the goose bumps on his arms in a cheesy way and said, "Okay, no more nonsense, let's go, we'll miss the No. 2 bus soon."

"What second-rate bus? Aren't you driving a big truck?" The fat man didn't understand his joke and said in confusion.

Zhang Shenfei didn't explain to her and just leaned back in his chair, enjoying puffing away his cigarette.

The Great Liberation was speeding through the streets of the old city. The students in the car looked at the houses falling backwards and discussed excitedly.

Soon, the truck arrived at the transportation company.

After everyone got off the bus,

Zhang Shenfei told everyone that the building materials were heavy and if one person couldn’t carry them, they could find a partner to work with.

"If you feel you can't do the job while loading, you can leave at any time. No matter if you load one bag or two bags, everyone will get a penny.

But one thing is that once the goods are loaded and sent to the major communes by truck, you cannot give up when it is time to unload the goods.

If anyone quits at that time, he will not be able to take the money for loading the truck."

The major construction sites and grain stations in the old city are well-managed and do not need these temporary workers.

But this time the transportation company's building materials have to be transported to Fangshan, Fengtai and other places to support the work, and there is no place to stay there.

If these students quit their job after arriving at the place, there would be problems with unloading the truck. So Zhang Shenfei could only speak out the ugly words in advance.
