Hu Guilan then asked, "Xiao Xu, how is your work onboarding going today?"

"It has been processed and a teacher has been arranged to guide me. I can officially start work tomorrow morning."

Hu Guilan was even happier. "Okay, I'll tell everyone about it in the evening and let them be happy too." After that, she turned around and went to the kitchen to busy herself.

At this time, Li Ju tugged at Li Xu's sleeve, and when he lowered his head, she said, "Second brother, if you go to work, will you have no time to play with me?"

Now everyone is not getting enough to eat, and many children are basically lying at home to reduce their consumption, so Li Ju hasn't played with her friends for a long time. These days, Li Xu has been playing with Li Ju. Now even Li Xu has no time, and Li Ju can't accept it.

Li Xu couldn't bear to see Li Ju's frustrated look and said, "Little sister, I can play with you after get off work tonight."

Li Ju's eyes seemed to light up, and she raised her head and asked hopefully, "Really?"

Li Xu touched her little head and said, "Of course it's true. Second brother still has to earn money to buy delicious food for my sister." As he said that, he took out a candy, peeled it and stuffed it into Li Ju's mouth.

Only then did Li Ju smile. "Second brother, please don't lie to me. I want lots of delicious food."

"Okay, I'm just afraid that the little greedy cat won't be able to eat anymore." As he said that, Li Xu started to play with Li Ju again.

After a while, Li Ju burst into laughter like silver bells again.

night.

After everyone got home, Li Xu and Hu Guilan told everyone the two good news, and everyone in the family was extremely happy.

Li Xu then said, "Mom, I won't have to hand over my salary to you anymore. I can still use it when I need to exchange things."

Sun Xiu is in charge of the financial power in the Li family. Needless to say, Li Jiakang has to hand over his monthly salary, but Sun Xiu will give him 2 yuan every month for pocket money; and Li Ping has to hand over half of his monthly salary since he started working until now.

There is no way. This family has not yet split up. At this time, most young people who have not split up will hand over part of their salary to subsidize the family expenses.

Sun Xiu understood it as soon as he heard it, but he still symbolically asked everyone whether they agreed.

Everyone knew what Li Xu meant by exchanging things. After all, everyone benefited from it, so they all agreed.

Li Ping and his wife had no objections. Li Ping even told Li Xu that he could tell him if the money was not enough.

Li Ping also knew how much the things Li Xu took were worth each time. Li Xu's salary was not enough, and even if they were rich, few people had such ability.

After hearing everyone's agreement, Li Xu told Sun Xiu that from now on he would also bring his lunch to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Sun Xiu's words became simpler when he heard this, and he said, "The factory gave me a new lunch box as a reward. You can use it tomorrow, and your sister-in-law will prepare the meal for you."

Hu Guilan responded.

Li Xu also thanked Hu Guilan and didn't say anything else.

After everyone had finished discussing everything, they began to enjoy the "sumptuous" dinner.

It is indeed much better than other people's families, and because of the two happy events at home today, Hu Guilan also prepared a more sumptuous dinner than usual. There is even a dish called "scrambled eggs" on the table.

Early in the morning, Li Xu also went to work with his lunch box in high spirits.

After arriving, I greeted Uncle Xu and chatted for a few words, then went in to find Liu Gang's car.

When Liu Gang has nothing to do, he usually stays in his car.

Seeing that Liu Gang had not arrived yet, Li Xu took out the "Martial Arts Secret Book" Liu Gang had given him and compared it with his car.

I have to say that the teacher Uncle Xu found for him is also a very capable person. This can be seen from the fact that Liu Gang's car is the best and newest in the fleet.

Although it looks relatively shabby to Li Xu, it looks very new compared to other cars around it that look like they are about to be scrapped. You can imagine the current shortage of cars.

The model of Liu Gang's car is Jiefang CA10, which was produced in 1956. Although it has only been 4 years, considering the current road conditions and load capacity, it can be said that it has been well maintained.

Nowadays, no matter how much a car is loaded, there is only one requirement: it can only be loaded until it can no longer fit...

There is no other way. There is a shortage of cars at the moment, but there are a lot of goods to be transported, so this is the only thing we can do.

Opening the driver's door, Li Xu got in and took a closer look at the structure of the car.

What caught his eye was a large steering wheel, without any power assistance. Li Xu tried it, but it took quite a bit of effort to turn it. He thought to himself, "Wow, if I don't catch up on some training, I wouldn't dare drive even if I were given a car. There's no other way. I don't have that much strength to turn..."

I looked at the secret manual again and saw that this car requires the driver to perform a "double-clutch" operation when shifting gears. The throttle and clutch must be coordinated to achieve the gear shifting operation.

The iron workbench is inlaid with instruments, all of which are marked in Chinese, including fuel, mileage, water temperature, etc.

While I was still watching, a voice came from outside the car, "How does this car look?"

Li Xu turned around immediately and found that Liu Gang had arrived at some point and was standing in front of the car looking at him.

So he got out of the car and responded, "Uncle Liu, I've almost finished looking at the car. I've also read the booklet you gave me, but it's all theoretical knowledge. I don't know how to operate it in detail."

Liu Gang also responded with a smile: "Today is your first day on the job. Just remember all the theoretical experience. Don't overthink anything else. You'll naturally get the hang of it as you encounter it more often. Everyone has gone through this, and the two apprentices who came with you didn't have this booklet to study."

Li Xu also followed suit, praising him: "Otherwise, why would Uncle Xu entrust me to you? Uncle Liu must be the best teacher!"

Although Liu Gang said a few words to Li Xu, such as "Don't say things that are not conducive to unity", "Never say this in front of others in the future", and "I'm not the most powerful one".

But seeing that Liu Gang's mouth was almost reaching the back of his head from laughing, Li Xu knew that he was extremely happy at the moment, so he praised him a few more times, making him laugh so hard that his teeth were showing.

After all, flattery never wears out, and who doesn’t like to be flattered?

Yesterday, Li Xu asked Uncle Xu about Liu Gang's situation. Uncle Xu said that he had a generous and open-minded personality, and was serious and responsible in his work. Most importantly, Uncle Xu felt that he was more suitable to be Li Xu's teacher, and since they had a good relationship, he talked to him about it.

Liu Gang accepted Li Xu as his apprentice without hesitation.

Thinking of this, Li Xu sighed in his heart, Uncle Xu really didn't make a mistake in choosing Liu Gang. His personality really matched well with Liu Gang's.
