Later, Lao He passed away, and He Xiaofeng, who had just graduated from high school, took over his job.
It wasn't that no one advised her to change jobs.
But jobs are hard to find these days, and someone offered to trade her a job at a garment factory.
However, that job required starting as an apprentice, and the salary was only 25 yuan. He Xiaofeng's mother needed 20 yuan just for medicine, so this salary was not enough to support her family.
She had a basic understanding of the transportation team's work, and with the team leader's guarantee, she could earn 35 yuan a month as soon as she started.
She really loved repairing cars, so she stayed.
He Xiaofeng took the transfer letter and prepared to go back to Lianhua Brigade with them to check on the situation.
Since she was willing to go, Lin Yu naturally had no objection and let her sit in the front passenger seat with him.
There was enough space, and since neither of them was overweight, they squeezed together to sit.
Lin Yuan drove.
But he didn't have a driver's license, so he only dared to drive on the road from the brigade to the county town; he couldn't go any further.
So he's also eager to get a driver's license.
As soon as Lin Yu got in the car, she started chatting with He Xiaofeng, asking about her family situation and talking about herself.
Lin Yu was warm and cheerful, and He Xiaofeng quickly became familiar with her.
She said she graduated early after finishing her second year of high school in order to take over her father's job.
Her younger brother and sister are twins, and they are only five years old this year.
My mother is sick again and can't do heavy work.
So the entire burden of the family fell on her shoulders.
Lin Yuan turned to look at her, finding it hard to believe that such a frail girl could shoulder the responsibility of a family.
He Xiaofeng was very perceptive and noticed that the driver glanced at her. She turned her head to look at him.
They had just introduced themselves, and she knew this was Lin Yu's second brother.
She felt the two didn't look very alike; the driver had dark skin and strong, powerful arms gripping the steering wheel.
He had broad shoulders and a thick back; even through the thin layer of clothing, you could see the muscles underneath.
He Xiaofeng grew up in the county town, and some of her classmates came from the countryside, but Lin Yuan was different from them.
She couldn't figure out exactly what was different.
It's probably because Lin Yuan is better looking.
When He Xiaofeng arrived at the brigade, the workshop she saw was just a few farmhouses pieced together.
She was born in a county town and had seen all kinds of factories; this workshop clearly didn't qualify as a "factory".
Once inside, you'll find that each room has a different function, and the environment is clean, hygienic, and tidy.
The workers, like industrious ants, carried their "food" bit by bit, and everything was done in an orderly manner.
Lin Yu introduced her to the workshop's products and then took her to the office.
Lin Yuan was already talking to Li Dahui at this time.
Upon seeing them enter, he quickly greeted them, saying, "This is He Xiaofeng from the county's transportation team. She's very skilled at repairing vehicles, so we finally have a mentor."
Li Dahui's eyes lit up; he also wanted to learn quickly so he could take the driving test.
He stood up and greeted He Xiaofeng.
He Xiaofeng was touched by their enthusiasm and felt a little better about the workshop.
Since they were all young people, she sat in the office for a while and learned about the current situation of the workshop.
Upon hearing the news, Li Lanhua quickly brought her child over and introduced herself to He Xiaofeng.
He Xiaofeng was somewhat surprised to hear that the brigade was recruiting drivers and that Li Lanhua had actually passed the interview.
Do they all agree that you should drive?
Li Lanhua's daughter was fidgeting in her arms, so she casually handed the child to Zhang Bing: "Nobody really agrees, but we still have to be fair, right?"
I'm the fastest learner here. Once I get my driver's license, let's see who can stop me from driving.
Zhang Bing held his daughter as she spoke boastfully, feeling somewhat helpless, but knowing he couldn't stop her, he remained silent.
Hearing Li Lanhua's words, He Xiaofeng felt a surge of enthusiasm: "Don't worry, I will definitely teach you everything I know so that you can get your driver's license as quickly as possible."
She wanted to know if women really couldn't drive transport trucks.
Looking at Li Lanhua, she inexplicably felt that if it were her, she could probably do it too.
That day, He Xiaofeng went to the backyard where drivers were trained. There were some materials there, written by Gu Yunze and used as teaching materials.
It also gave her a foundation, showing her how to teach.
As darkness fell, Lin Yu and Lin Yuan accompanied He Xiaofeng to the newly established bus stop in the commune.
To facilitate villagers' travel, the new Party Secretary built bus stops at the midpoints of several townships.
The bus service runs twice a day, morning and evening, making it more convenient for the staff of each brigade to travel.
The bus stop is a ten-minute walk from Lianhua Brigade. He Xiaofeng has walked the route once and knows the way, so she can walk it by herself next time.
On their way home, Lin Yu and Lin Yuan were discussing driver training when they saw Xie Xinyu and someone pulling and tugging at each other as soon as they entered the brigade.
Lin Yu quickly ran over, and as she got closer, she saw the man grabbing Xie Xinyu while hurling vulgarities at her.
"You wretched woman, you belong to me in life and in death, come home with me!"
"Get out of the way!" Lin Yu rushed over, stretched out her leg, and kicked the man away, sending him crashing to the ground.
When Xie Xinyu saw Lin Yu, her eyes lit up, and she grabbed Lin Yu's sleeve and cried, "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu."
Lin Yu patted her shoulder and asked gently, "Are you alright? Did he do anything to you?"
Xie Xinyu shook her head: "No, he was just about to pull me away when you arrived."
Lin Yuan walked over and rummaged through the man on the ground: "Li Dawei?"
"Why is it you?"
Lin Yu frowned: "Li Dawei? Who is that?"
Xie Xinyu cried and said, "Yes, it was my ex-husband..."
I wanted to mention Ruyi's father, but then I thought about his appearance and realized he was completely unfit to be Ruyi's father.
She simply said it was her ex-husband.
Lin Yu walked over and grabbed his collar: "Tell me, what do you want with Xie Xinyu?"
Li Dawei, whose stomach was still aching from her kicks, gasped for breath, "She's my wife, why can't I have her? I want her to come home with me!"
Lin Yu sneered: "I don't need to tell you how your family treated her before, do I? You still want her to go back with you?"
"So what? She's just being delicate and can't handle hardship. She gave birth to a girl and still wants to have a postpartum period. Pah!"
Xie Xinyu glared at him fiercely: "Not only did you not let me have my postpartum confinement, you also didn't give me any food. My Ruyi is so hungry that she doesn't even have the strength to cry. Do you even deserve to be a father?"
If Ruyi hadn't been on the verge of starvation, she wouldn't have hated him so much.
Even tigers don't eat their cubs, but Li Dawei's family disliked Ruyi because she was a girl and wished she would starve to death.
They wouldn't even give her a drop of rice porridge.
Thinking of her poor daughter, Xie Xinyu felt an even stronger urge to gnash her teeth in hatred.
"Why are you still looking for us? We're divorced a long time ago, we have nothing to do with each other!"
Li Dawei laughed maliciously: "How can it not be related? Isn't that girl my daughter too? I'm still waiting for that girl to take care of me in my old age."
"Don't even think about it! You're not her father, and she'll never acknowledge you in this lifetime!"
