The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 238: Too Familiar

Jiang Cheng still received the order to go to Guangzhou, but did not set off immediately.

Instead, he first found the car that was considered to be his and did a simple inspection and maintenance. In the past, when he had a break, Captain Du would arrange for someone else to drive the car, but it would only be two or three days at most, so he had a good idea of ​​the car's condition.

But this time Jiang Cheng hadn't touched his Jiefang car for more than 20 days, so he was worried whether others had inspected it or not. He also had to add oil and water, which took two hours.

Finally, Jiang Cheng went home and planned to have lunch before leaving. Zhou Lingying was so happy to see him back home that she took a knife and cut the chicken's neck.

After all, today is only the second day of the Chinese New Year, and the New Year atmosphere is strong. Many people go to visit relatives. In addition, some people get married, and they basically choose these days.

In Changcheng, Zhou Lingying had no one to rely on except Jiang Cheng. She had long since stopped worrying about three meals a day, so eating better during the New Year did not mean much to her.

Now Zhou Lingying is counting on the birth of the baby in her belly, and then she will have a support in this yard.

Jiang Cheng had a meal at home at noon, which was a really happy thing for Zhou Lingying during the New Year period.

After all, the New Year is truly a New Year when you are accompanied by your family. Otherwise, what’s the point of just watching others having fun in the yard alone, even if your family is well-off?

After having lunch at home, Jiang Cheng lay down and rested for a while before setting off.

Now Jiang Cheng no longer needs to drive to other places to sell the fish in the space. Going to a restaurant or a place, selling a hundred kilograms of fish only costs a few dozen yuan. For Jiang Cheng now, the time spent and the return are no longer proportional.

The key is that Jiang Cheng cooperates with Director Hou of the reclamation farm, and now the transaction is thousands of yuan. If Jiang Cheng relies on selling fish to restaurants one by one, he will have to get up more than two hours earlier every day to travel in order to save time to sell fish.

You should know that the Lichuan reclamation farm is known as "Little Shanghai" and is home to more than 10,000 people. As a comprehensive place, although many things can be self-sufficient, some daily necessities and some things can only be completed through quantitative means.

Jiang Cheng has been using processed cloth and leftover cloth from Hong Kong to pay off part of the payment for the farm. In addition, Zhu Lan from the supply and marketing cooperative is helping Jiang Cheng ship the goods, so the funds for purchasing at the farm can be easily solved.

Therefore, Jiang Cheng is driving now and does not need to stay on the road for too long. If he "wastes" a day or two during the transportation process, Captain Du can just give him a random reason and let it go.

After resting for a while, Jiang Cheng set off and drove more than 200 kilometers. He arrived in Ji'an at around seven o'clock. This time he did not go to the reclamation farm.

In the past, Jiang Chengdu would go to Fuzhou first, and then to the reclamation farm in Lichuan. He would conduct a transaction at the reclamation farm once a month before leaving for Guangzhou.

But now it is the Chinese New Year, and because of the cold weather and the Chinese New Year, the farm has temporarily stopped trading in food except for wood, charcoal and other things that can be sold to Jiang Cheng.

For timber and charcoal alone, it would be better to resume trading two months later. Moreover, the reclamation farm was very busy during the Chinese New Year because there were a large number of educated youth from all over the country. In addition to preparing things for the Chinese New Year, people also had to organize some activities.

So Jiang Cheng doesn’t have to go to the reclamation farm for the next two months. This way he can be much closer to Guangzhou.

However, with Jiang Cheng's cooperation, the farm is preparing to privately expand its breeding and planting scale this year, and will gradually resume trading in April, starting with egg products.

After resting for a day in Ji'an, Jiang Cheng slept until after eight o'clock the next day.

Ji'an to Guangzhou is only 500 kilometers. Even if you drive about 40 kilometers an hour, it will take at most a day and a half. Jiang Cheng doesn't have the habit of taking a nap, so it's no problem to sleep until 8 o'clock in the morning. The most important thing is that it's useless to rush. When you get to Bao'an County, Jiang Cheng can only go to Xiangjiang at night. In the dark, even if Jiang Cheng releases sea water in the air, no one can see clearly in the night. Moreover, binoculars are useless in the night, but it's different during the day. It's not safe to start from anywhere during the day.

Therefore, it was not until the evening of the second day that Jiang Cheng arrived at the BF unit. As he came so many times, the soldiers guarding the intersection basically knew Jiang Cheng.

When we saw that it was a Jiefang bus from Changcheng, we were very happy. Basically, the canteen would improve the food for everyone the next day.

In fact, the temporary pass in Jiang Cheng's car had expired when he came here this time. Normally, someone has to report the expiration of a document.

But Jiang Cheng can almost always enter here by facial recognition. At the beginning, even if he had a pass, he still had to check whether there were other suspicious items in the vehicle.

Now they are also checking the things in the car, but it has nothing to do with inspection. The soldiers who are checking are basically just curious to see what Jiang Cheng brought this time.

When the guards saw that the car was loaded with flour, eggs and pork, they did not even check around the vehicle to see if there were any contraband items, and directly asked Jiang Cheng to go in quickly.

If Jiang Cheng continued to cooperate with the BF troops here, the people here would soon regard him as a member of the army. Many people would wave and say hello to Jiang Cheng when they saw Jiang Cheng's car from a distance.

Those who don't know about the secret between Jiang Cheng and Captain Zhang here, some people think that their army has a procurement agreement with a certain unit. If they don't see Jiang Cheng's car coming to the army for a long time, they will think that Jiang Cheng is irresponsible for delivering goods to a certain unit.

You have to know that these people are on duty outside on New Year's Eve. It is normal for the people below to complain about the late delivery of goods by your cooperative unit.

"Master Jiang, you're here. Have you eaten?"

"No, is there any food?"

"I have some fish and shrimp. Can I make you a bowl of noodles?"

"Okay, please."

Jiang Cheng said politely that his car had only been parked in the army for a few minutes, and the kitchen staff here didn't know how they heard the news, and the squad leader came over with a few people.

As soon as they arrived at Jiang Cheng's car, they directly directed people to unload the goods. They even enthusiastically asked Jiang Cheng if he had eaten. In the past, when Jiang Cheng had to eat here, Captain Zhang had to arrange it.

Now that Captain Zhang hasn't shown up, the people from the kitchen team actually came over to unload the goods on their own initiative. This is because they are used to it. However, Jiang Cheng is actually quite happy with their attitude towards 'their own people'.

Captain Zhang was in the army dormitory building at the moment. He had just returned to the dormitory building not long ago. Like other soldiers, he also had to be on duty. He had to lead his men on duty at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning and had to get up at 5 o'clock, so naturally he had to come back early to rest.

As a captain, the most he does not need to do is to work all night like some soldiers. Of course, he also works at night, but when he works at night, he does not need to get up so early. If Captain Zhang has to work at night, he usually works until 12 o'clock.

Captain Zhang had just finished washing up, but he didn't plan to go to bed so early. He planned to read the newspaper before going to bed. He had just picked up the newspaper for a while when the report came, saying that the delivery truck from Changcheng had arrived.

Captain Zhang immediately put down the newspaper. Jiang Cheng had been in the army for a long time this time, so he had to have a good talk with Jiang Cheng.
