The silence on the way was awkward, so Chu Tian started to make conversation, "Li Zhiqing, are you from the capital?"

Li Jianmin's voice came from behind Chu Tian, ​​"Yes, most of us who came here are educated youth from Beijing or nearby..."

Chu Tian continued to make small talk, "How old is Li Zhiqing this year?"

Li Jianmin, "I'm nineteen this year."

Chu Tian, ​​"Have you ever thought about what kind of wife you want to find in the future?"

Li Jianmin thought about it carefully, and replied after a while, "The three views are compatible, right?"

Chu Tian raised his eyebrows and looked back at Li Jianmin, "What about his appearance? What about his background?"

Li Jianmin chuckled, "Appearance? As long as she's acceptable, that's fine. As for her background? That's even simpler. As long as she's from a clean background..."

Chu Tian was surprised. "As long as you have a clean background? I thought you..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Jianmin understood what Chu Tian meant and explained with a smile, "Brother Chu Tian, ​​we are all equal now. What difference does the city or the countryside make to me? I just hope to find someone who understands me and that we can support each other..."

Chu Tian was silent for a moment, then continued, "I'm going to say something I shouldn't have said. If you find it unpleasant, just pretend you didn't hear it..."

Li Jianmin said seriously, "Brother Chu Tian, ​​just speak frankly. I always believe that honest advice is unpleasant to the ears but beneficial to action. So even if it's unpleasant to the ear, as long as it makes sense, I will regard it as encouragement!"

Chu Tian raised the corners of his lips slightly and said casually, "It's nothing, actually. I'm just curious. Some male educated youth are thinking about marrying girls from the brigade, and some female educated youth want to marry boys from the brigade."

"The atmosphere seems good now, but when they have children and have the opportunity to return to the city, what do you think will happen to those educated youth? What about their families here?"

Chu Tian knew about the affairs of the educated youth camp, and Li Jianmin, who lived there, knew it even better. Now that spring plowing was approaching, the educated youth who had experienced spring plowing knew how hard it was, so they were gradually becoming restless, and some of them even had the idea of ​​marrying people from the team.

After a long silence, Li Jianmin finally spoke, "I don't know what they're thinking, but it's just that they either abandon their wives/husbands and children, or take them all back to the city."

"only····"

Chu Tian smiled and continued, "But, it's not easy to bring him back to the city with you, right?"

Li Jianmin answered seriously, "It's not easy, but there are always more solutions than problems. As long as you think about it, there will always be a way!"

The conversation stopped here because they had already arrived at the regiment. Chu Tian put Li Jianmin at the door of the photo studio, looked at the time on his watch and said, "It's past ten o'clock now. I will probably be leaving around half past one. If you leave late, you can wait for me under the big tree outside the regiment..."

Li Jianmin smiled and nodded, "Okay, I understand. Brother Chu Tian, ​​you can go and do your work first."

Chu Tian nodded slightly and rode away on his bike.

Li Jianmin turned around and walked into the photo studio after seeing Chu Tian leave.

"Brother Chu, do you want to work in the transport team? No, it should be, can you drive?"

Li Gang was so surprised that he almost dropped the teacup in the bowl to the ground.

Chu Tian nodded slightly. "Well, you don't know, there are always gossipers in our team, who are really annoying. Going to work will allow me to take home money and live a clear life, and shut those people up!"

"As for driving, that's because I met an older brother before. He has good driving skills and taught me several times."

“I just don’t have a driver’s license…”

Li Gang pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know if it's okay without a driver's license, but if you just know how to drive, it's not enough. They require you to be an experienced driver who can drive alone..."

Chu Tian just smiled slightly, "Brother Li Gang, you have to take it out for a walk to know whether it is a mule or a horse. No matter how much you say, it's useless..."

Li Gang nodded, thought for a moment and said, "I do know Captain Meng of the transport team. Oh, by the way, although this recruitment is for drivers within the transport team, to put it bluntly, one of Captain Meng's drivers has been transferred to the city, and he's now short of a driver. Since he's a hands-on person, the driver he recruits must be tested on his skills and approved by him..."

"I understand. Could you please, Brother Li Gang, introduce me to someone?"

Chu Tian understood what Li Gang meant. It was nothing more than giving gifts. People who relied on connections would not be recognized, only technology would be recognized!

Li Gang stood up and said with a smile, "Hey, what's the trouble? You're always so polite!"

"I happen to be free right now. I'll take you to the transport team and you can talk to Captain Meng in person!"

Chu Tian also stood up after hearing this, "Okay."

Captain Meng was a strong man in his thirties. Chu Tian introduced himself with a smile when they met.

Captain Meng looked Chu Tian up and down, and Chu Tian just stood there and let him look at him. After a moment, he spoke with suspicion.

"Are you sure you can drive?"

Chu Tian smiled and said, "Captain Meng, I'm sure you won't believe what I say. Why don't you let me give it a try?"

Li Gang also spoke up, "Yeah, Brother Meng, can you let me give it a try?"

Captain Meng pondered, "The diesel in the transport team was purchased with our own money. How could we allow you to practice with it for fun?"

Chu Tian smiled, "Captain Meng, you can see if I can drive. If I can, I won't say anything. If it's just second-rate skills, I can pay for the diesel I wasted today!"

Captain Meng hesitated for a moment and then nodded. "Let's go, then. I'd like to see how good your driving skills are at such a young age!"

To be honest, even though Li Gang recommended him, he still had doubts. After all, Chu Tian looked too young. He estimated that he was only about twenty years old.

Chu Tian didn’t know what he was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely feel happy. After all, who doesn’t want to be called young?

Chu Tian got on the driver's seat of the truck, and Captain Meng sat on the passenger seat. He just watched Chu Tian skillfully adjust the seat, fasten the seat belt, look at the rearview mirror, insert the key and turn it all the way, start the engine, let go, step on the clutch with his left foot, step on the brake with his right foot, and shift into first gear... After a series of neat and tidy operations, the truck drove out of the transport team smoothly...

After circling the regiment, Captain Meng had already decided to take Chu Tian, ​​so after getting off the truck, he took Chu Tian to the leader's office.

"Director Li, you don't have to recruit anymore. I've found a good person. He..."

After a pause, he looked at Chu Tian again, "By the way, what's your name?"

Director Li, "..."

Chu Tian quickly said, "Chu Tian, ​​my name is Chu Tian, ​​and I'm twenty-four this year."

Before Director Li could say anything, Captain Meng was surprised. "You're 24? You don't look like it!"

Chu Tian blinked, "Maybe it's because I look young?"

Captain Meng nodded in agreement. "Well, you do look young. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you weren't even 20!"
