1970s: After Transmigrating, the Fake Heiress Returns to the Village to Grow Sweet Potatoes

Lin Yu awakens with memories of her past life and discovers she is a cannon fodder supporting character in a modern-era novel. The female lead is the real heiress, and Lin Yu is merely a fake heire...

Chapter 153 The Transport Team is Looking for a Driver

Qi Mei listened and nodded. Lin Yu was talking about her and Chen Songbai's mushroom house.

Only by firmly mastering the technology can one remain invincible.

As for how Chen Songbai established his authority under Qi Mei's guidance after they returned to Dongshan Brigade, and how Qi Mei won over the women who grew mushrooms with him, Lin Yu had no idea.

She knew that if Chen Songbai and Qi Mei could do a good job, the workshop would have a stable supply of goods, and the dried mushrooms could be sold outside the province.

Zhou Huanan sent dried mushrooms to several partner companies in Beicheng and received very positive feedback.

Since that area isn't near mountains, mushrooms, a local delicacy, are quite scarce.

The workshop wants to transport the mushrooms to the north of the city, but the current situation is that they have vehicles, but no drivers with valid licenses!

Having no other option, Lin Yu had to seek help from the transport team.

Lin Yuan drove Lin Yu to the transport team. When the transport team leader saw the vehicle, he knew that it belonged to the Lianhua Brigade.

"Are you asking about the engine? We've already contacted them, and the car manufacturer will come to replace the engine in a while. We'll let you know then."

Lin Yuan held his hand: "Thank you, thank you, Captain, you are such a good person."

The transport team leader waved his hand modestly and said, "No, no, Comrade Gu really helped us a lot. If it weren't for him, how would we have known that the engine had a problem when it left the factory?"

"By the way, where's Comrade Gu? Why didn't he come?"

The transport team leader remembered him well and wanted to have another competition with him to see who could repair cars better.

Lin Yu explained to him, "Comrade Gu went home to visit his family. I am the factory manager of the workshop. I came here today because I need your help with something."

When they heard that the transport team leader wanted to find a driver, he waved his hand and said, "There are no drivers available these days. I'm sorry, I can't help you."

Lin Yuan's face darkened, and he was about to speak when he saw Lin Yu take out a pack of cigarettes and hand it to the transport team leader: "Could you please make an exception for me?"

He smiled slightly, but still said, "Take it, take it. I really can't help it, I don't have a driver."

Because of the engine problems with those vehicles, their scheduling was readjusted. Now all the drivers are on assignments, and no one can spare the time to drive for the workshop.

This is why Lin Yu wanted to buy his own vehicles and train his own drivers, because the transport team couldn't guarantee that there would always be available drivers and vehicles.

"Hey, make way." A driver got out of the car and carried the goods out.

Lin Yu gave Lin Yuan a wink, and the two of them went over to help move things.

The driver paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Thanks, brother. Don't move that little girl. You can't handle this job."

Looking at her thin arms and legs, asking her to move goods is no joke.

But the next second, she carried two boxes down at once, seemingly without any effort.

If I had known, it would have been so easy for him, a grown man, to move even a single box.

Lin Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, stop spacing out. My sister is naturally strong and much more capable than us."

"This, this strength is even greater than Old He's daughter."

Lin Yu came down carrying a box: "Who is Old He's daughter?"

The driver laid the goods on the ground, clapped his hands to brush off the dust, and said, "Look, that girl inside, see her?"

Lin Yu peeked over and saw a girl squatting next to a vehicle. She was wearing a transport team uniform, her hair was tied in a braid, she was wearing gloves, and she was holding tools.

He looks decisive and efficient.

She was quite short and squatting next to the large vehicle, so she was really inconspicuous.

But if you observe carefully, you'll find that her movements are fast, accurate, and ruthless, and she has considerable strength in her hands.

The driver then said, "Old He is our mentor; his car repair skills are top-notch." He gave a thumbs up.

Lin Yu's eyes lit up: "Where is he?"

The driver sighed, "He's gone. He got sick and passed away. Otherwise, his daughter wouldn't be here."

"Old He only has this one girl, so she has no choice but to take on the work."

Lin Yuan frowned: "Why not change jobs? It's not appropriate for a girl to work in a transportation team."

The transport team was all men, and in this day and age, such a job would attract a lot of gossip for her.

The driver shook his head: "It's not that easy. Jobs are hard to find these days, and finding the right person isn't easy either."

Moreover, the transport team pays well, and that child has to support a family.

She also lives with her mother and two younger siblings.

Lin Yu's eyes darted around, and she had an idea.

Beside the truck, He Xiaofeng was installing parts. Her gloves were covered in black stains. She squatted next to the black wheels, her clothes were dirty, and she looked dusty and disheveled.

But she worked very seriously, as if she were completely absorbed in it.

Lin Yu squatted down next to her and asked, "Are you He Xiaofeng?"

She was a bit taller than He Xiaofeng, so even when she squatted down, He Xiaofeng had to look up at her.

"Yes, that's me. Who are you?" He Xiaofeng was certain she didn't know this person. Could it be one of her classmates?

Lin Yu reached out her hand: "My name is Lin Yu, and I'm from Lianhua Brigade of Qingshan Commune."

He Xiaofeng was a little puzzled, but she still took off her right glove, revealing her clean palm, and shook hands with her.

Do I know you?

Lin Yu shook her head: "I don't know you. I heard from them that you are the only female employee here, so I came to get to know you."

He Xiaofeng was clearly immune to such remarks, and said indifferently, "Oh, so you know each other now."

She then went back to her work with her head down.

Lin Yu whispered in her ear, "Would you like to work part-time at our brigade?"

He Xiaofeng turned her head, frowning: "What do you mean?"

Lin Yu had just figured out what she needed now.

A driver who knows how to repair cars.

What does He Xiaofeng need?

money.

Isn't this perfect? ​​The workshop hired He Xiaofeng part-time, trained a few drivers, and paid her a part-time wage.

He Xiaofeng was somewhat tempted, but still shook her head: "I can't take on private jobs."

She cherishes this job from her father and would never risk taking on private work.

Lin Yu said confidently: "You don't need to worry about that. I will have the transport team leader give you a transfer letter so that you can do part-time work openly and legitimately. Now it's mainly up to you. Are you willing?"

Let me make it clear first, our brigade is not close to here, you may have to take a bus there yourself.

And it's to the countryside, are you willing to go?"

He Xiaofeng looked down at her gloves: "Why me?"

Lin Yu smiled gently: "Is that even a question? They all need to drive, but you don't have a car."

She grinned, as if to say she must be crazy.

He Xiaofeng was amused by her straightforward words: "You're right, I don't have a car to drive, so I'm the most idle."

The transport team was all driven by men, and no one wanted to partner with a young girl like her.

Although everyone helped her a lot because of her father, there was still a distinction between men and women, and it was impossible for them to get close to her.

So she's been quietly repairing cars here, rarely getting her hands on the steering wheel.
