After getting closer, Chen Qiangwei found that they were two drivers wearing hats. They were checking the car's fault. Judging from their expressions, it was estimated that the car had been broken for some time.

Chen Qiangwei didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but the two drivers showed joyful expressions when they saw her.

A simple-looking driver stopped Chen Qiangwei and said, "Hello, young comrade, can you help me with something?"

Chen Qiangwei had no choice but to stop the car and asked with a smile, "Hello, uncles, what are you doing?"

At this time, truck driver is the most popular profession, no doubt about it.

Truck drivers not only have high salaries, but also receive many subsidies.

Some bold drivers earn extra income that is greater than their wages and subsidies, because they travel far and wide and often get some rare items, which they buy and sell on, making the supply fall short of the demand.

There is a saying nowadays that can well illustrate the status of truck drivers: "Once you turn the steering wheel, you wouldn't change it even if you were given a county magistrate."

"Hello, young comrade, we are drivers from the Fuzhou Machinery Factory, delivering parts to the Nanshi Machinery Factory.

My bike suddenly stalled and I can't find the problem. Can I borrow your bike?"

Chen Qiangwei said in surprise, "To the Nanshi Machinery Factory? Uncle, you're going in the wrong direction. The Nanshi Machinery Factory is right behind us, less than half an hour's drive away.

How did you get here? Down here is a production team of Shengli Commune, but there is no machinery factory there."

The honest old man gave a wry smile and said, "Isn't this because we are unfamiliar with the place? And we were tricked by a passerby. We just followed the route he pointed out."

Another person spat and cursed, "Fuck you! No wonder he looked a little weird at the time. Turns out he did it on purpose."

The honest-looking uncle called out, "Dawei."

The driver, named Dawei, said reluctantly, "I see, Lao Guo, you're just too picky."

Lao Guo apologized to Chen Qiangwei, "Excuse me, we are rough guys and are used to using bad language. How about your bicycle, young comrade?"

Chen Qiangwei hesitated, "I just bought this bicycle. It cost me 180 yuan. I also borrowed a lot of money from others to buy it.

How about I help you find someone at the machinery factory? Who are you looking for? I can ride my bike there and it won’t take long.”

Lao Guo and Dawei looked at each other, as if discussing something.

Lao Guo said, "How can this be so embarrassing? I see you just came from the city. You must be exhausted after riding for so long. Let Dawei go."

At this time, Chen Qiangwei heard two small noises in the carriage, like the sound of something hitting the carriage.

Her face lit up, and she whispered, "Uncle, there's more than just spare parts in your car, right?" She glanced at Lao Guo mysteriously, "Is there anything alive?"

Dawei's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were staring at Chen Qiangwei dangerously. He took a step forward, but was stopped by Lao Guo the next moment.

Chen Qiangwei seemed not to notice Dawei's actions. She said excitedly, "Are there any live animals like chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc.? Can you give me two?"

Old Guo kept watching Chen Qiangwei's expression. He smiled innocently, "Young comrade, you have good hearing. There are indeed some. Okay, I'll give you two each. But where's your bicycle?"

Chen Qiangwei waved her hand. "It's no big deal. I can help you get the truck myself, no need for a bicycle, and it's free." Chen Qiangwei showed a greedy expression. "But you have to give me two chickens and two ducks."

Dawei looked at Chen Qiangwei with disdain, "Little comrade, this is not your bicycle. As a woman, do you know anything about bicycles? Do you know how to drive?

It is better to be down-to-earth. A truck is not your bicycle. If it breaks down, ten bicycles cannot compensate for a truck.

Chen Qiangwei parked her bike on the side of the road and circled the truck, commenting as she went, "Isn't it just a Jiefang CA10B? Made by the Changchun First Automobile Works.

Changchun First Automobile Works began improving the Jiefang CA10 truck in April 1958, finalized the Jiefang CA10B truck in 1959, and put the Jiefang CA10B into production in June 1960.

Seeing the surprised expressions of Lao Guo and Dawei, Chen Qiangwei said complacently, "I wouldn't dare to boast about other trucks, but for this one, I can fix it with my eyes closed."

Old Guo smiled and said, "It seems you have met an expert. You know a lot, young comrade. I can see that your demeanor and insights are not those of an ordinary country boy."

After hearing what Lao Guo said, Chen Qiangwei's face darkened and she no longer had the high spirits she had just now.

She reached out and touched the carriage, revealing a nostalgic expression. "I'm from Beijing, working as an educated youth in Huaihua Brigade. My father used to be a truck driver at the Beijing Machinery Factory.

He drove this CA10B truck when he was alive. I started working with him on it when I was ten years old, and I know it like the back of my hand.

Lao Guo and Dawei nodded. No wonder he dared to make such a boast. It turned out he really had some skills.

Dawei quickly asked, "What happened to you?"

Judging from the way she was dressed, her family should be very well-off. And since her father was a driver, he should have a lot of connections. How did she end up here as an educated youth?

A trace of sadness flashed across her eyes, "My father sacrificed himself to save the factory's property, and my mother, oh, she is someone else's mother now.

In order to gain a foothold in my new home, I went to the Youth League Office to change her beloved stepdaughter's name to mine."

Dawei couldn't help but curse after hearing this, "Damn it, you're just too kind. If it were me, I'd just kill them with one blow. If I don't have a good life, they won't have a good life either."

That's what he did to his stepfather's family.
