Courtyard houses: Those who are capable are rewarded, and many children bring many blessings.

He turned to Niu Dazhuang and said, "Alright, little Niu, from now on, be humble and learn from Master Gao, and strive to be able to go on missions independently as soon as possible." After saying that, he swayed his big butt and walked away.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and check the vehicle." The speaker was a dark-skinned, thin man in his mid-thirties, with a scar on his left cheek that was particularly memorable.

Turning to Gao Chunsheng, he said, "Since we've assigned people to you, don't feel guilty. Just take good care of them."

"Okay, Captain Luo, I will definitely teach him the techniques without reservation."

Captain Luo looked at Niu Dazhuang and was about to throw a punch at Niu Dazhuang's left chest.

Niu Dazhuang instinctively turned to the side.

"Hey! You've actually practiced martial arts before!"

"The dealer is in charge," Niu Dazhuang said modestly.

"You've trained, so be it. Stop being so girly. We need someone like you. It seems the company was quite considerate to have you trained by Lao Gao. Go for it. Do a good job."

The lesson Master Gao taught Niu Dazhuang was how to wipe cars.

"Dazhuang, this truck is our livelihood. If you don't take good care of it, it will cause trouble. If it causes trouble, you'll haul less cargo each year. If you haul less cargo, you won't be eligible for the advanced worker award. If you're not eligible, your income will be lower..."

Niu Dazhuang thought going to work would be this easy, but little did he know that as soon as he started work in the afternoon, he would have a new task: helping to load and unload trucks on other routes.

In those days, there were no forklifts; everything was done by hand. Especially for the trucking companies responsible for delivering goods into the city, they also had to go to the south freight yard at the train station to load the goods.

With over a hundred people and more than a dozen trucks, it was quite an impressive sight.

Niu Dazhuang pulled out a Daqianmen cigarette and handed it to Captain Luo Gang: "Captain, why are they all so eager to load goods at the South Freight Yard?"

Niu Dazhuang lit a match for Luo Gang, and then lit one for himself.

Luo Gang took a deep breath and slowly exhaled before speaking: "No one gets up early for nothing. Do you think they have any high level of moral awareness?"

"I knew it. You'll understand once you've been here long enough. It's tough in our line of work, and sometimes quite dangerous, but the pay is really good. You'll gradually figure out the ins and outs. Hey, can you read?"

"You can read, so what's wrong?"

"That's great!" Niu Dazhuang and his companion were squatting at the garage entrance when Luo Gang immediately stood up upon hearing that Niu Dazhuang could read, patting Niu Dazhuang's shoulder with delight.

Niu Dazhuang was so excited that Luo Gang slapped him so hard he fell to the ground.

"Haha..." Luo Gang laughed and reached out to pull Niu Dazhuang up.

"You have no idea, our team has 113 people including you, and they're all roughnecks. You can get them to load and unload a truckload of goods without any problem, but if you ask them to learn to read, they all have a bitter face."

"Captain Luo, you don't have to be that exaggerated!"

"Dazhuang, you wouldn't believe it, last year when they were chosen as an advanced collective, their team was way behind us in terms of the tonnage they transported, but they still won the award. Do you know why?"

"Although the first team doesn't have as many cars as us, they must have more per person!"

"No, our per capita income is no less than theirs. The union says it's because we don't actively respond to the various activities organized by the union, especially the literacy classes. Their team can now recite the Three Old Articles and knows many more characters."

"What does this have to do with me being able to read?" Niu Dazhuang asked, puzzled.

"It's very relevant. Our team goes to class the same way, so why is their team doing better than us? I've found out the reason. One of the guys in their team went to an upper primary school. They secretly got extra tutoring, so they definitely know more characters than us."

"Does the captain mean I should also give everyone extra help?"

"That's right! While our team hasn't started driving yet, we need to give them extra training. Once the roads in the Northeast are clear, we won't have such a good opportunity again. Come on, let's go get a copy of the training materials."

"Textbooks? Our unit even has its own set of textbooks?"

"Hehe, I don't really know either. Let's go find Deputy Manager Su. Don't let her being a woman fool you, she's a very capable person."

This was the first time Niu Dazhuang had ever seen a knowledgeable woman of this era. The phrase "a person with a wealth of knowledge naturally exudes elegance" perfectly described the Deputy Manager Su in front of him.

Her short, ear-length hair was neatly gathered at the back of her head with a blue hair tie, revealing her broad forehead. Her single eyelids exuded calm confidence, combining a dignified and graceful beauty.

His attire was also very ordinary, a light blue square-necked jacket with a belt tied above his waist.

It not only accentuates the figure but also adds a touch of heroic spirit.

At over thirty years old, not only has time left no trace on her, but it has also added a touch of intellectual beauty to her.

If Director Bai embodies the beauty of glamour, then Deputy Manager Su embodies the beauty of tranquility.

Director Bai possesses an irresistible allure that makes men want to hug her and discuss life together.

Deputy Manager Su is the kind of person who, no matter how many worries you have, will be influenced by her calm demeanor and quickly calm down. You'll also be happy to confide in her.

When Fang Gang, a man of steel, met her, he abandoned his usual thuggish manner and asked politely, "Deputy Manager Su, Niu Dazhuang just arrived today. This kid can read. Could you lend us the textbooks you usually use to teach us for a few days?"

Manager Su didn't say whether to lend or not, but first looked at Niu Dazhuang. He asked unhurriedly, "Niu Dazhuang, 21 this year, born in 36 in Niujiazhuang, Changping District, has an uncle who is the deputy head of the security department of the steel rolling mill, and has four years of schooling..."

This guy not only remembered the name, but also Niu Dazhuang's file. Most people would feel very close to someone if their boss remembered their name.

"Deputy Manager Su, you have a photographic memory!" Niu Dazhuang couldn't help but admire.

"I don't have a photographic memory, I just put my heart into it! Comrade Xiao Niu, it seems you're good at communicating with people. You've integrated into the group so quickly in just half a day. After you become a full-time employee in three months, come to the union."

Luo Gang shoved Niu Dazhuang with his elbow: "Hurry up and agree!"

"Hehe, the boss is being kind, I'll accept it. If he still wants me to work in the union after I'm officially hired in three months, I'll go."

"Yes, young people should be responsible and do their best." After saying that, he bent down, pulled out a drawer under his desk, took out a book bound with black thread, and handed it to Niu Dazhuang: "Take good care of it, don't get it dirty, and definitely don't lose it."

Luo Gang reached out to take it, but Deputy Manager Su slapped his hand away, laughing, "I wouldn't trust you, you roughneck. Xiao Niu, I'll give you the book. If there are any problems, I'll come looking for you."

Luo Gang didn't make a fuss; instead, he just smiled sheepishly.

Niu Dazhuang solemnly accepted it with both hands: "Don't worry, leader, I will take good care of it."
