An explosion at the logistics port drastically altered Xu Xiangyang's destiny.
When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a special era... Not only had "she" become "...
Xu Xiangyang is good at driving, but he doesn’t know the route.
Xiao Qian, who was standing by, acted as a navigator, showing him the route and not forgetting to praise him.
"Comrade Xu, your driving skills are really good. You drive more steadily than us drivers." He looked at Xu Xiangyang with admiration.
Xiao Qian said he was following the car, but in fact he was also an apprentice who came here to learn how to drive.
Unfortunately, he had only been learning for a month and was too scared to even start. Just now, Xu Xiangyang had shown off his skills, turning and reversing in the yard, but he couldn't do it.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "Comrade Qian, I can't compare with my master. I just love driving and have been learning for a while."
Although this statement is modest, it is not offensive to listen to. After all, modesty is never a bad thing.
Seeing that he was quite easy-going, Xiao Qian directed the route and the two chatted all the way.
After driving for more than three hours, Xu Xiangyang finally arrived at the Red Star Commune.
There was a special person to unload the truck, so he didn't have to do it.
Compared to his previous hard work, he felt even more emotional when he saw other people working.
Just now he was unloading the truck, but now he has turned over and is watching others work.
"Brother Xiangyang, do you smoke?" Xiao Qian took out a pack of unfiltered cigarettes, took out a cigarette and handed it to him.
Xu Xiangyang looked at him and thought, he didn't even call him Comrade Xu, but called him Brother?
I looked at the cigarette again and thought that I hadn't smoked for so long that it didn't matter whether I smoked or not.
He was about to refuse, but then he thought that he would definitely have to attend social events in the future, and it was inevitable that he would encounter smoking and drinking, which was unavoidable.
"Thanks." He took it with a smile and let Xiao Qian light the cigarette for him.
Although I came here to help today, I still have to keep my distance. Although Xiao Qian is still humble, I can't go too far.
Xu Xiangyang knew what he meant. He just wanted to ask for advice since he thought he was a pretty good driver.
Nowadays, teaching an apprentice a skill will starve the master to death. Most drivers will not teach their apprentices wholeheartedly, for fear that the apprentice will learn and then be surpassed by them.
Xu Xiangyang is not afraid of this. He is not even a formal employee, so it is no big deal to teach him.
What's more, knowing a driver means you have one more friend in the future, and you will have an excuse to give something away if you want to.
These drivers sometimes travel long distances and bring back some scarce items that are not available here.
Even if it's a defective product, you can't buy it here.
Two people were smoking and watching the unloading and loading of goods.
Generally, trucks running back and forth will not run empty. They deliver things when they come and also take away some necessary things when they go back.
This saves time and effort, and most importantly, saves fuel and does not waste resources.
Xu Xiangyang looked at the people in front of him busying around, then walked aside and sat down to wait.
I estimate that it will take more than an hour to complete the installation.
Xiao Qian walked up to him and asked, "Brother Xiangyang, if you have this skill, why don't you join the transport team?"
He had been thinking about this question all the time. If he had such talent, why did he work as a porter in a grain warehouse? It was tiring and the salary was low.
You should know that stethoscope steering wheels are popular jobs, and the salary is half higher than that of ordinary workers.
Not to mention the benefits during the Chinese New Year and other holidays.
Xu Xiangyang smiled upon hearing this and said, "To be honest, I had to beg for this temporary porter job. I also want to do the driver's job, but unfortunately I don't have the connections."
He did not hide it. After all, they had been in contact so often that people would know even if he didn't say it, so it was better to say it openly.
It saves you from having to hide something and being afraid of being found out.
Hearing this, Xiao Qian was obviously stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses. He also knew that this job was indeed not easy.
He himself is also a person who got connections through his family, otherwise he would have to take a back seat.
"Yeah, it's hard to arrange work at this time." He nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Such a good job, and I have the ability, but I can't do it.
Thinking about it, he felt that Xu Xiangyang was very sad, so he decided not to poke at his wounds.
Soon more than an hour passed and the truck was full of goods again.
Xu Xiangyang was the first to get on the truck, and Xiao Qian followed behind to handle the rest of the matters.
Loading and unloading require receipts, signatures and stamps, which were originally done by the driver. This time, no one does it, so Xiao Qian has to do it.
Fortunately, this job is very simple, and Xiao Qian has done it twice with the driver and it was quite efficient.
They started the truck again and returned to the city. Xu Xiangyang told him a lot about driving along the way.
This thing is not difficult to learn, especially for those who like driving, they can figure it out quickly.
After the two men returned to the granary, Xiao Qian still felt a little unsatisfied and had not heard enough.
While getting out of the car, he quickly ran over and said, "Brother Xiangyang, if there's anything I can do for you in the future, just let me know and I'll definitely do it for you!"
Because of Xu Xiangyang's driving skills and willingness to teach others, he is happy to interact with him again.
After all, the master doesn't teach. He just says a few words each time. He will be unhappy if you ask too many questions.
In contrast, Xu Xiangyang is very easy to talk to and willing to teach.
Xu Xiangyang saw his eyes light up and naturally understood what he meant, "Okay, come to me if you don't know anything in the future. I will tell you everything I know."
Since he wants to make friends, he won't refuse these things.
Xiao Qian was obviously very happy after hearing this. He said a few words and went back to hand in the task.
Xu Xiangyang looked at the truck in front of him, sighed deeply, and then turned back to the lounge in the granary.
As expected, Zhang Xiao was waiting here. Seeing him come back, he hurried forward to ask questions.
"Comrade Xu, did the drive go smoothly?" he asked with a smile.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and said, "It went smoothly. Comrade Xiao Qian has already gone to hand in the task."
He knew that Zhang Xiao was so worried simply because he was the one who had contacted him this time, and if anything went wrong with the car, he would be responsible.
So, there is a reason why he is so anxious.
Zhang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and felt very happy. As long as the mission was completed, it would be fine.
He smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Xu, go back and rest early today. I'll count it as your day's work. You can come back as normal tomorrow."
He no longer calls me comrade, but just calls me brother?
Xu Xiangyang didn't understand why his attitude changed so quickly, but who wouldn't like to leave work early?
But he couldn't agree so readily, so he evaded the question, "Isn't this a bad idea? Everyone else is still working, so what's the point of me going home early? How about I just stay and work until the end of the day?"
After saying this, he looked like he was going out to work.
Zhang Xiao grabbed his arm and said, "Listen to me, go back and rest, and come back tomorrow."
His tone was firm, and he would not allow anyone to refuse.
Xu Xiangyang hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed reluctantly.
Then he said goodbye to Zhang Xiao and left the granary, looking back every few steps.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Xiao felt very satisfied. He was indeed a real person.
