The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 50 I'm going to pee

When we got to the commune, the food was ready, three dishes and one soup. A stewed chicken, fried leeks and eggs, a plate of green vegetables, and tomato egg soup.

The simple dishes were not bad, especially the whole chicken, which was enough. The commune secretary, the accountant and the educated youth team leader accompanied us for dinner.

The rice was directly served from the pot in a wooden barrel and placed in the reception room. There was nothing much to say, and the five people started eating. Among the five people, Zhou Lingying was a little bit nervous, after all, the people at the table were all well-known figures in the commune.

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng was by her side, and he whispered in her ear to eat faster, otherwise it would be a waste. Then she kept eating silently, eating several bowls of rice and not less vegetables.

Everyone who saw it said that Jiang Cheng was lucky to have found a good partner like Zhou Lingying.

In fact, another meaning is that someone like Zhou Lingying is suitable to live with a capable person like Jiang Cheng. If someone else marries Zhou Lingying, it may not be a blessing.

After dinner, they smoked two cigarettes. They were all from the same place, and the commune secretary was interested in making friends. Jiang Cheng also revealed where he lived in the city and where he could be of use in the future. It was not that he could not help, it depended on the situation.

Jiang Cheng was a long-distance driver after all, so he might not be at home for many days a month. However, the company could not allow the driver to travel all year round. Long-distance drivers would drive about 20 days a month, and then they would be arranged to drive to nearby cities.

After all, drivers are also human beings, they all have families and relatives to visit. It is impossible for them to be on the road all the time. For example, Jiang Cheng took more than ten days to drive to Yancheng. Unless Jiang Cheng is willing to continue driving to other provinces, he will be asked to drive a few short-distance orders before driving long-distance orders.

"Master Jiang, what time do you think would be a good time to leave?"

"It's time to rest now, so go over there early. Secretary Wang, go call someone."

In response to Secretary Wang's inquiry, Jiang Cheng replied that this time he was taking a batch of damaged farm tools to the machinery factory, and they had already been loaded onto the truck. He was also going to bring back a batch of farm tools, and he would definitely load and unload the truck later.

Secretary Wang just said that we should take a few people with us when we set out. But Secretary Wang himself will not go, and the commune's accountant will go, as Secretary Wang still has other things to deal with in the commune.

When Secretary Wang heard Jiang Cheng say that they could set off directly, he immediately arranged for someone to call people over and take Jiang Cheng's car to the county agricultural machinery factory.

Except for the commune accountant, Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying who sat in the driver's seat, the commune production deputy team leader and four members all wore straw hats and sat directly in the back of the car. They were not afraid of the sun at all, and they were all happy to be able to sit in the big car and chatted and laughed.

It took about 20 minutes to get to the farm machinery factory in the county town. Just like the last time we went to the brick factory, if only the people from Jinhe Commune came to repair things and move farm tools, the accountant of the commune would have to give cigarettes to the people from the machinery factory and beg them to do things in a humble manner.

But Jinhe Commune drove a Yellow River heavy truck over, and there was no such truck in the entire county, let alone the communes under the county.

Jinhe Commune may not have any direct relationship with the events in Changcheng, but the county seat is the urban area. The agricultural machinery factory only produces and assembles agricultural machinery products, but not everything can be created out of thin air.

Small tractors, such as the kind with only a tractor head, can be assembled and produced by the agricultural machinery factories in the county, but they can only assemble them, and the parts have to be delivered from the city.

Just like diesel engines, only the Changcheng Diesel Engine Factory has them. But the Changcheng Diesel Engine Factory does not only produce tractor engines, and the supply range is not limited to the city, but also has orders from other cities and even other provinces.

There are so many counties under a city, and they all want diesel engines. Producing one more can relieve a lot of pressure on the communes below. The agricultural machinery factory in this county has no relationship with the diesel engine factory in the city, but the transportation station is a cooperative unit with the diesel engine factory.

So Jiang Cheng was invited to the agricultural machinery factory's office for tea. Zhou Lingying was not used to this kind of social interaction and watched others move things beside the car.

With Jiang Cheng here, the farm tools that Jinhe Commune needed to buy were quickly loaded onto the truck. What even surprised Jiang Cheng was that the person in charge of the farm machinery factory gave him two packs of cigarettes, which was completely the opposite of the situation when other communes came here to get goods. Jiang Cheng waited for the accountant of the commune to load all the purchased farm tools onto the truck, and then he immediately set off to drive back. He did not chat with the person in charge of the farm machinery factory.

What Jiang Cheng didn't know was that the agricultural machinery factory called Jinhe Commune as soon as he left. Jinhe Commune didn't get any agricultural machinery and equipment because of its low grain production and lack of sideline businesses.

Every time the Jinhe Commune wanted to use some mechanical equipment, it had to wait for other better communes to use it for a few days, and only then could it borrow it for use when it was less busy.

Now the agricultural machinery factory is giving Jinhe Commune a chance. It depends on whether Jinhe Commune has the ability to do so.

Jiang Cheng drove his car back to the commune and drove to the designated place. He didn't care about unloading the goods and went home with Zhou Lingying.

When they returned home, there was no one in the house except Jiang Changhe lying on the bed. The children were not here, basically they went to work in the fields with their sister-in-law. It was normal for children of a few years old to play in the fields. These days, they were all free-range and there was no need to take care of them.

Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying first went to the main room to greet his father. To be honest, his father's lower body was weak but he was still conscious, which was not much different from being half paralyzed. In such a hot day, lying in bed was also a torture.

After greeting Jiang Changhe, Jiang Cheng and Zhou Lingying returned to their room. They did not sit on the bed and chat shamelessly like they did before.

The weather is a bit hot. After the plum rain season, the real hot summer is coming.

"Lingying, come here, I have something to tell you." Jiang Cheng moved a stool and sat at the door of the room to enjoy the cool air, and said to Zhou Lingying.

"Jiang Cheng, what's the matter?" Zhou Lingying walked very close to Jiang Cheng and asked. Fortunately, she and Jiang Cheng were both facing outside the house, so Jiang Cheng didn't notice that she was blushing at this moment.

Zhou Lingying couldn't blame her for blushing, because Jiang Cheng was not honest when they were alone together. He often said things that were shameless. At this moment, she wondered if Jiang Cheng wanted to tell her about sleeping together at night.

"Lingying, when we go to Changcheng together, I plan to go to the hospital to find a doctor to ask about my father's illness. If it can be cured, I will bring my parents to the city for treatment, and you will have to take care of them then." Jiang Cheng said.

Zhou Lingying didn't expect Jiang Cheng to talk about this. It turned out that she had misunderstood and thought that Jiang Cheng would shamelessly tell her about what happened that night. She was so nervous that she almost peed, but she didn't expect that he would talk about this.

However, if Jiang Cheng's father can be treated, it would indeed be a good thing for the Jiang family, and Zhou Lingying also supports it.

"Jiang Cheng, it's okay. We will be together from now on, and your parents are my parents. I have to pee urgently, I'm going to pee first." Zhou Lingying said somewhat embarrassedly, and then went to the toilet outside to pee.

Looking at Zhou Lingying's back as she went to the toilet, Jiang Cheng smiled.

After all, she is a girl from the city, but she doesn't speak politely. As a girl, she doesn't even know to say "go to the toilet" or "go to the urinary" when she needs to pee.

However, it seems that these days, the words used by city dwellers when going to the toilet are also so direct. Not only the civilized words used, but even the politeness cannot be compared with that of the 21st century.

Especially children, there are many children playing in the alley outside the courtyard where Jiang Cheng lives. Some of them urinate directly in the corner.
