The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 146 I have to report to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative

"Jiang Cheng, we just transported the stuff here and drove it home in a swagger. There were so many things in the car, how could anyone check it?" Zhou Lingying asked in surprise. She felt very nervous when she checked it just now. It would be fine if she didn't know that the stuff in the back of the car belonged to her family, but Jiang Cheng told her that they were all bought privately.

When she was asked for her name and information, she felt that she was stuttering a little. But they assured her that she was fine and that as long as she was not a criminal, they would not care too much.

But Zhou Lingying thought in her heart that she and her husband were criminals, reselling things. The car behind them was all going to take Huichang City to resell.

"I said I had the identity of a driver as a cover, so people thought I was purchasing goods for the company. When we go back, I'll keep some of them, and I can find a company to deal with the rest." Jiang Cheng said with a smile.

"Jiang Cheng, why don't you let Sister Zhu help you sell? She is very good at selling things." Zhou Lingying said.

"We bought the eggs at 60 cents a pound, and the supply and marketing cooperative also sold them at 60 cents. It's easier to sell them to Sister Zhu, but we can't make any money. Asking Sister Zhu to sell them at a high price is like asking her to help resell them, which is a different nature. Don't worry about this. When we get home, I'll leave the birds we shot to you to deal with." Jiang Cheng said.

"Jiang Cheng, the money I earned from selling wild boars and deer on the black market the day before yesterday was over a hundred yuan. Should I give it to you or leave it with me?" Zhou Lingying asked.

"I have hidden a lot of money. I put all the proceeds from selling things with you." Jiang Cheng said.

Zhou Lingying's mouth curled up to reveal her dimples, but she suddenly thought of something and said, "We are so rich, are we pretending to be poor in front of our neighbors? If they see us eating so well every day, will they notice something?"

Jiang Cheng was amused by Zhou Lingying's words. Zhou Lingying was pretending to be poor, pretending to be poor. But pretending to be poor was also very tiring. You should enjoy getting so many things.

"After parents recover and return to their hometown, you will spend money and eat good food every day. Then I will have a quarrel with you in front of the neighbors, saying that you don't know how to live. Then people will just think you are squandering money, and will not say that we are rich." Jiang Cheng said with a smile. He didn't want to pretend to be poor deliberately.

Acting like a spendthrift and eating and drinking lavishly made Zhou Lingying smile from ear to ear. She was willing to do this, and she could eat several kilograms of rice a day.

The two talked and laughed on the way. The couple had something to participate in together, which deepened their feelings.

It was not until noon that he returned home. He had found a place to put the honey and tiger bone wine. He also put the Yuan Datou coins and bottles and jars in the room. Even though Jiang Cheng knew that those bottles and jars were probably all antiques, he really didn't care about that.

I moved a basket of eggs and preserved eggs to my house. At least the eggs are free now. I also put watermelons and two bags of rice bran. The watermelons are placed directly under the bed. It is cool under the bed. I can take one out when I want to eat it. The rice bran is piled in a corner outside the kitchen.

After a simple lunch, Jiang Cheng rested for a while and then drove to Director Li of the Street Office. He didn’t know whether his condolence activity was over or not.

On the way there, I collected some of the poultry and most of the eggs. Then I got some carp and went directly to the street office to find Director Li.

Jiang Cheng's arrival was just in time, as the eggs and poultry were good things. However, the fish were difficult to store and might not last until tomorrow, so they could not be used as gifts of comfort. However, Director Li accepted all of them and distributed them to colleagues in the subdistrict office as welfare.

After chatting with Director Li for a long time, Jiang Chengcai drove back. He had basically established contact with Director Li.

After Jiang Cheng informed Director Li that he was going to be transferred to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative as a driver, he might be able to deal with him more directly in the future, because the subdistrict office also has industries.

The subdistrict office usually opens some small processing workshops to accommodate some poor households as temporary workers. They sew cloth shoes, make gloves and towels, and do some weaving. The products produced may not be much, but they are also directly cooperated with the supply and marketing cooperative.

So it is possible that Jiang Cheng really has dealings with the Street Office, but he is a driver. Even if he really comes to the Street Office to pick up goods, it is the purchasing staff who talk to the Street Office. Jiang Cheng is only responsible for picking up goods and does not need to connect with others.

Jiang Cheng drove back home and entered the yard. He saw many people using the pool in the middle. They were all dealing with birds, which Jiang Cheng had caught this morning.

When Jiang Cheng entered the yard, many people praised him, saying that he was very capable and could hunt deer and wild boars, which he sold for a lot of money.

Jiang Cheng smiled inwardly. It seemed that Zhou Lingying wanted to become a nouveau riche first and then start squandering money.

During dinner, Jiang Cheng made some tiger bone wine, poured some for his father, and tried some for himself.

Then Zhou Lingying suffered at night. Tiger bone wine is really a good thing. It is much better than anything else, and it has no side effects.

The next day, it was the day Jiang Changhe went to the hospital. In the morning, Jiang Changhe told Jiang Cheng that the tiger bone wine was really good. He clearly felt that his legs were stronger. Before, he couldn't stand and walk, and could only move in small steps. Now he can slowly lift one foot.

After breakfast, Jiang Cheng drove everyone to the hospital, and then he went to the transport station. It was time to return the car to the transport station. He had worked at the transport station for more than a month, and he knew that the drivers at the transport station really had no place to stop.

The drivers can only find ways to be lazy. There is really no holiday at the transport station unless there are special circumstances. With one more car, the burden on the transport station is greatly reduced.

Fortunately, there are many vehicles from other places coming to Changcheng, so many delivery orders can be handled on the way back. Jiang Cheng drove the car to the transportation station. Except for the salary he would collect in ten days, he should be considered an employee here. This was his last visit to the transportation station. He was given two sacks of fish, and he had to earn some money from the transportation station before leaving.

Two sacks of fish weigh 200-300 kilograms, which can be easily consumed by the transport station. Previously, the number of items that employees could buy was limited because of the limited supplies. If there were no limit on the number, Jiang Cheng could get a ton of fish, and the transport station would open up for purchase, not only without limiting its own employees, but also allowing relatives to buy, then a ton of fish could be processed in a few hours.

At the transportation station, Jiang Cheng naturally met his apprentice Feng Hua again. The transportation station also sent someone to tell Feng Hua that he was going to be transferred to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Jiang Ben originally wanted to teach him how to drive slowly, and when he was almost ready, he would let him drive, and he would lie in the back seat and sleep every day.

I didn't expect that their fate would end so soon, but as a master and apprentice, Jiang Cheng gave him a fountain pen that he bought at the military supply service agency in Shanghai. It was a high-end titanium fountain pen, which cost more than two yuan.

After talking with Feng Hua for a while, Jiang Cheng went to find Director Liu. The two sacks of fish were still alive, so he had to collect them quickly. Then he had to find Station Master Xu to return the vehicle, because this involved arranging other drivers to drive the vehicle, and the logistics director couldn't be in charge of everything.

I stayed in the office building for more than an hour. The fish was sold and many things were handed over.

After walking out of the transport station and reaching the main gate, Jiang Cheng looked back inside the gate. Although he had only worked there for over a month, he still felt a little reluctant to leave.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Cheng only had ten days of rest left, so he had to relax and prepare for new challenges.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye~~.

Jiang Cheng also went to the transportation station to receive his salary, subsidies, and some benefits two days ago.

In the past half month, Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying ate, drank, watched movies, bought soda, explored various places in Changcheng, and bought a lot of books.

I accompanied Zhou Lingying back to the educated youth team and brought a lot of watermelons to treat the family to a good meal. I also asked my parents to take some eggs back to supplement the nutrition of my nephews and nieces.

Jiang Changhe can now walk normally after receiving treatment in the hospital and taking tiger bone wine. But he still needs to continue treatment. Acupuncture can be cancelled, but massage should continue.

The doctor advised that I can walk properly, but not to do anything that requires my legs to exert too much force. And I can come to the hospital once a week in the future. Now I mainly focus on clearing and conditioning.

"Master's wife, Master is at home."

"Feng Hua, why are you here? Your master is lying in the room. Come in and sit down. The master's wife will cut a watermelon for you."

"Thank you, Master."

Early in the morning, Zhou Lingying was washing clothes, and unexpectedly Feng Hua came. This made Zhou Lingying very happy. Once she became Feng Hua's master's wife, she would be Feng Hua's master's wife for life. Jiang Cheng had been Feng Hua's master, and even if he didn't teach her anymore, they were still regarded as master and apprentice.

Jiang Cheng was very comfortable these days. In this era, he didn't have to do any housework. He could lie down at home and ask Zhou Lingying to bring him a piece of watermelon if he wanted to eat it. If he wanted her to massage his shoulders and back, he only had to ask her to do it.

He lived like a landlord in the old society, except that his maid and his wife were the same person.

"Feng Hua is here. Please sit down. Don't be polite here." Jiang Cheng greeted Feng Hua after seeing him enter the room.

"Master, I'm here to deliver the files to you. Section Chief Zhao from our transportation station asked me to bring the files to you and told you to report over there. The vehicles over there are in place, and you have to go to work there." Feng Hua handed a file bag to Jiang Cheng and said.

No matter how long you have been employed or in which unit you work, you will be registered.

Like many cadres and leaders in later generations, they would have a long file, including the years they started working, the units they worked in, and the positions they held. If there was a change in position, promotion, or transfer, they would have a long file.

Jiang Cheng's file shows that he joined the company in June 1972, and from June to August, he worked as a transport driver in the Transportation Department of Changcheng Bus Station.

After arriving at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, I might have to add another qualification. I joined the Changcheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative in August 1972 as a transport driver.

(A new journey is about to begin, and I have to start transporting again, which also means that I have to look up a lot of information tomorrow, mainly to check the specialties of various places. I don’t know which city had what specialties in the 1970s. Just like Jiangxi rice noodles, it only became a specialty later. If anyone knows which era the specialties are from, I hope you can let me know).
