Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

After knocking on the office door and getting permission, Pei Guang walked in.

Li Huaide looked calm and composed. He didn't care whether Pei Guang had guessed something or not. This kid was a smart man and knew what to do to benefit himself.

"Xiao Pei, why are you here at this time? Is there something wrong?"

Pei Guang smiled faintly, "Director, I've suddenly become interested in driving recently. I want to ask if there are any spots left for driving lessons in the factory?"

There are no private cars in the country now, all motor vehicles belong to the public. Driver is an enviable and desirable profession, driving a Jiefang brand truck roaring by, the scenery is endless, many girls hope to marry a driver.

At this time, there are many people who want to learn to drive, but not everyone can learn to drive, and the places for driving lessons are allocated by the unit.

Under the planned economy, social materials were scarce, people's lives were difficult, and transportation capacity was insufficient.

Drivers not only have high salaries, but also get extra supplies. Long-distance drivers get a subsidy of one yuan a day, while those driving in the city get about 6 cents. In addition, they get more food coupons and cloth coupons than ordinary workers. Not to mention the extra income from hitchhiking, helping to transport goods, and driving private cars.

Moreover, the threshold for becoming a driver is very high, as it is a special type of job. In addition to learning driving skills, you also have to learn how to repair cars.

At that time, automobile technology was not mature enough, and cars would break down at any time. There were no rescue vehicles, let alone communication tools. If a car broke down and could not be repaired, the only thing left was to guard it where it was.

Pei Guang already knew everything about maintenance and driving, and he could get his driver's license with just a little bit of practice.

Of course, he had no intention of becoming a driver. He didn't want to suffer from being away from home and sleeping outdoors!

It’s good to have multiple skills just in case you need them.

Chapter 115 Driving License Test

Li Huaide looked at him in surprise and asked in confusion: "Xiao Pei, you don't want to be a driver, do you?"

"Although drivers earn a lot of money, it's not an easy job."

Pei Guang pursed his lips and said, "Director, I just want to satisfy my craving. Maybe these skills will be useful in the future."

Li Huaide finally felt relieved, because he knew that Pei Guang had passed the Level 4 chef certificate, and such a talent could not be let go.

Besides, learning to drive is not a big deal, so let this kid try it out.

As young people, you will always have to suffer some setbacks and grow and hone yourself in adversity.

Then he wrote a note to Pei Guang, asking him to report directly to the transport team.

At this time, there is no so-called driving school training center. The training work is carried out by the unit, and no fees are charged for the training process. After the training is completed, the unit submits the list to the traffic management department, and the driver's license is issued after passing the assessment.

The transport team is located in the southwest corner of the steel rolling mill and is an independent compound.

There were more than a dozen trucks parked on the bumpy concrete ground in the yard.

The golden sunlight poured down, giving the truck a golden coat.

Pei Guang recognized at a glance that these were the first-generation Jiefang CA10 models. The five-star red flag on the top represented the united Chinese people, in the middle was the Jiefang logo with silver letters on a red background, and below was the symmetrical image of an "eagle" spreading its wings and soaring.

After walking into the compound and finding the captain of the transport team, he showed him the note given by Li Huaide.

The captain of the transport team obviously knew Pei Guang, and was completely confused by his actions.

Instead of being a deputy director, he comes here to learn how to drive. Isn't this just too much time?

But he didn't want to say anything more, so he found a free master for Pei Guang and left him alone.

Hey! What a coincidence! Isn't this the driver of the transport team who had the stroke incident last time?

He is in his early 30s, with an average appearance and a crew cut, and looks full of energy.

Pei Guang took out a pack of Peony brand cigarettes from his pocket, opened the box, took a cigarette and handed it to him.

He also took one in his mouth, took out the matchbox, and with a "crackling" sound, the flames jumped up and he lit the lights for the two of them.

"Huh!" Pei Guang took a puff of cigarette and exhaled a beautiful smoke ring.

"Master Han, I'll trouble you for the next period of time."

Master Han grinned and agreed generously. He was an old smoker and naturally liked good cigarettes like Peony.

Besides, it doesn't matter who he brings along. He would be more than happy to have a good relationship with a chef like Pei Guang.

Before the teaching began, Pei Guang deliberately demonstrated his rich theoretical knowledge and had a clear understanding of the structure of the car.

Master Han's mouth corners stretched to the back of his ears. Isn't this much simpler? It saves him a lot of effort.

However, this was just the beginning. Over the next period of time, Master Han witnessed what a true genius was.

It was like a knife stuck in his butt, which opened his eyes.

Whether it was car repair or driving, he mastered it all in just one week. It was really amazing how terrifying this guy was.

The captain of the transport team was so shocked when he heard this. He thought Pei Guang was just a flash in the pan and would turn back when he hit a wall.

It turns out that the clown is me!

The process was simple after that. The transportation team submitted a list of people who had passed the training to the factory, and Pei Guang's name was on the list.

Li Huaide smoked with a deep look in his eyes, and then he smiled bitterly.

He was not optimistic about Pei Guang at that time, because not everyone could be a driver.

But reality always slaps us in the face mercilessly. Some geniuses cannot be measured by common sense.

Under his careful planning, the recommendation list was submitted to the Municipal Vehicle Supervision Office.

Next comes the political review + physical examination, followed by written test, field driving, and highway driving.

The written test covers traffic rules and mechanical knowledge, with a total of ten questions, each worth ten points, and 60 points is considered a pass.

There are three items of field driving: reversing into a garage, moving to a garage, and bridge-type reversing.

The last step was highway driving. After a series of tedious procedures, Pei Guang finally got his trainee driver's license.

A formal driver's license can only be issued if you have not violated traffic rules or caused any accidents during the one-year probationary period.

Since he was learning to drive a truck, he obtained a B driver's license, which allows him to drive any vehicle below this level.

It was July, the hottest time of the year.

The sun baked the ground scorching hot. A gust of south wind blew up a heat wave from the ground, making people feel suffocated by the burning sensation.

After Pei Guang came out of the vehicle inspection office, he wiped the sweat off his face.

Oh my god! I had another free sauna, it was so nice!

At this moment, a childish voice came from a distance, sounding so loud and so persistent.

"Selling popsicles!"

Looking for the source of the sound, I saw a little boy about ten years old, shouting while carrying a wooden box on his back. There were big red words written on the box: Popsicles.

Pei Guang's eyes lit up, and he immediately stopped him and asked, "What popsicles do you have?"

The little boy wiped the sweat off his face with the back of his hand and said: Cream, red bean and red fruit, which one do you want?

Pei Guang ordered ten cream popsicles.

The little boy grinned from ear to ear. He put down the large wooden square popsicle box he was carrying on his back, opened the lid, turned over the towel covering it, took out the popsicles that were emitting white steam from the white inner box, then quickly covered them with the towel and closed the lid.

A cream popsicle was three cents each, and ten popsicles were thirty cents. Pei Guang took the popsicle in one hand and handed the money to the child with the other.

After the little boy sold the popsicles and got the money, a happy smile appeared on his dark red face. He put on the heavy popsicle box again, opened his voice and continued to sell along the way.

"Popsicles, popsicles, fresh popsicles..."

Pei Guang couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. Children at this age have already become independent and are selling popsicles to make money at such a young age.

He just took a quick look and saw that there were about fifty popsicles in the wooden box. He could make about 5 cents for each one, and 2 cents for a whole box. If business was good, he could make a lot of money in a month.

After opening the package, the white and slightly yellow popsicle looked so good that he wanted to take a bite. He licked it with his tongue, and a rich milky aroma came over him.

"Yeah! Not bad, not bad, absolutely the real deal."

Under the scorching sun, a bite of popsicle makes you feel as happy as a god.

In just a short while, he had already eaten three popsicles and put the rest into the space.

Then he found a cool place, and two hours later, when it was almost time to get off work, he leisurely rode his bicycle to the courtyard.

When they arrived at the middle courtyard, Damao was picking vegetables at the doorstep with his younger brothers and sisters. When they saw him, they all enthusiastically called him Uncle Pei.

When the children saw the popsicle in his hand, their eyes widened.

Pei Guang couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and took a popsicle and put it in his hand, "Da Mao, go home and cut it up, and share it with your brothers and sisters."

"Yeah, thank you Uncle Pei!"

"Thank you, Uncle Pei!"

Chapter 116: A sudden storm

Bang Geng, who was washing his hands by the sink, saw this and his eyes were filled with anger and jealousy.

Why? We are all children, why not give him some too.

He wanted to eat popsicles, too.

Humph! This big bad guy!

Liang Ladi saw several children holding popsicles in their hands and asked what was going on.

"Mom, Uncle Pei gave us the food." Damao said with a grin, his tender little face full of smiles.

If we were to say who the children liked the most in the courtyard, it would be Pei Guang. He would occasionally give them some snacks and praise them for being sensible and cute.

After hearing this, Liang Ladi sighed that Pei Guang was magnanimous and open-minded, and was completely different from those people in the compound.

Pei Guang called out to his sister at the door, "Liyun, I bought you a popsicle, come out and eat it quickly, it will melt soon."

The next second, the door opened and two young and beautiful girls walked out.

"Oh! The rain is coming too. It's getting more and more fresh."

She is 1.7 meters tall, with legs all the way down her neck, which is really eye-catching. Her figure is gradually developing, and if she gets enough nutrition, she will be a big beauty when she grows up.

Without Qin Huairu's bloodsucking in this life, I believe she will look much better than in the drama.

He Yushui twisted her body, looking quite shy, and the corners of her mouth raised revealed her joy.

Pei Liyun took a popsicle and smiled happily, sharing it with her best friend.

"Liyun, come here quickly after you finish eating. Dinner will be served soon."

"Hey! Coming right up."

Zhao Maimai was also overjoyed after receiving the popsicle. In the hot summer, a bite of the popsicle made her feel cool and happy.

Pei Guang brought out an electric fan from the house, and the family of three enjoyed the breeze and the delicious food, feeling very comfortable.

"By the way, Brother Guang, didn't you go to take the driving test today? How was the result?" Zhao Maimai picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth, chewing slowly with her lips pursed, while not forgetting to care about the man's situation.

With her understanding of men and looking at that confident smile, the result was self-evident.

Pei Guang smiled faintly, "Then we must succeed. Mai Mai, next time I have a chance I will lend you a car to take you for a ride."

"Uh-huh!"

Pei Liyun didn't bother to eat when she heard this and quickly said she wanted one too, as she had never ridden in a car in her life.

As the three of them chatted, the color of the sky gradually changed from bright to darker, and darker and darker. The whole sky was filled with a heavy atmosphere, as if foreshadowing an impending disaster. The dark clouds spread rapidly, covering the sky and the sun, like a black curtain.

The sky became gloomy, making people feel sad. Thunder followed, like the roar of gods, making people shudder. Lightning broke through the dark clouds, illuminating the sky in an instant, like a ray of light, and quickly disappeared.

The people outside were not surprised but happy. It had been a long time since it rained. After a long drought, rain was the best gift from God!

Things often don't go as planned. Just when everyone thinks a rainstorm is coming, a storm suddenly gathers and forms.

The wind was getting wilder and wilder, like a mighty army, tearing everything apart mercilessly. It crushed the grass, swayed the trees and danced a crazy "disco", and people's hair flew everywhere.

Pedestrians on the road ran quickly, looking for shelter. Some children were stunned and stood there in a daze, and then they were swallowed up by the gust of wind and were blown to an unknown direction.

In the courtyard, Pei Guang didn't care about the sudden darkness. He only heard a "bang" outside. Someone's door was blown open by the wind, and it slammed loudly. "Bang, bang--" the doors were blown open one after another. The strong wind became more proud, roaring against the windows and doors, and from time to time it made a low "woooo" sound, and even the earth seemed to be shaking.

Pei Guang's pupils shrank suddenly, and he rushed to the door and held it tightly.

This sudden storm was so strange that there was no sign at all.

The only thing he could do was to block the doors and windows to ensure the safety of his family.

"Maimai, Liyun, the two of you go and close the windows to prevent the wind from blowing in."
