Chapter 190 Choice
After Ji Lao's matter was settled, all the medicines that Song Wei had accumulated were bought by the captain. The price Song Wei offered was a little cheaper than that of the hospital.
"You're going to take these two wolves with you?"
The captain may not be well educated, but living in these mountains, he can still distinguish between wolves and dogs.
It might be hard to tell them apart when they are chubby little cubs, but as the two wolf cubs grow up, the difference between them and dogs becomes more and more obvious.
The wolves in their forest are quite big, and these two wolf cubs are growing fast. They are now as tall as Lin Zhen's calf.
"Can I bring it on the train?"
Lin Zhen shook his head: "No, so we don't plan to take the train."
After hearing this, the captain said nothing more and gave them a letter of introduction.
"I've given you a month's notice."
"Thank you, Uncle Lei. I'll trouble you to take care of Mr. Ji."
The captain nodded: "I know this. Everyone is very enthusiastic about Mr. Ji now."
Although on the surface they had no private contact except for seeing the doctor, the house next to the cowshed was repaired, the broken wall was blocked, the leaking roof was repaired, and the broken windows were replaced with new newspapers to block the wind.
The kang was also enlarged and renovated.
There was also firewood, one or two eggs, radishes, and cabbages that inexplicably appeared at the door of the cowshed at night.
Although no one talked about it, the families of those whose illnesses were cured secretly sent some gifts to each other at night. Sometimes they would run into each other, and they would just feel awkward for a moment and pretend not to see each other.
Even if there are selfish and ungrateful people who don't send gifts, they won't say anything and report it, otherwise their whole family will be ostracized in the village.
It can be said that now, thanks to Mr. Ji, life in the bullpen is much better.
This is exactly what Lin Zhen and Song Wei want to see.
With a letter of introduction in hand, Song Wei and Lin Zhen brought their family to the city, entrusting their two sika deer to the care of the team leader and their great-grandmother's family.
"Brother Peng."
Lin Zhen went to the freight station to find the truck driver who was going to give them a ride, and handed him the cigarette.
"I'll trouble you with this one."
The man Lin Zhen called Brother Peng was a middle-aged man with a square face. He took the cigarette and talked to Lin Zhen with a hearty smile, looking like no stranger at all.
"What's the trouble? My nephew is in the army and asked you to take care of him. He wrote to me to ask me to look after you. We are family, so there's no need to cause any trouble."
He glanced at Song Wei and patted Lin Zhen on the shoulder: "You are so lucky, Brother Lin Zhen. She is an educated youth, right? She looks different from us country girls."
Lin Zhen smiled and said, "We just got engaged. Her brother is also in the army but he is in the south. We went to visit his relatives during the New Year when there is nothing to do in the brigade."
Nowadays, most people have a natural liking for soldiers. When they heard that Song Wei's brother was also a soldier, they immediately had a better impression of them.
Song Wei also greeted the man openly, calling him Brother Peng just like Lin Zhen did.
“Isn’t this a dog?”
Lin Zhen nodded: "My girlfriend encountered them in the mountains. There was no female wolf there, so she thought they were dogs and felt sorry for them so she brought them back. At that time, their eyes were not even open yet. I didn't expect that after raising them for a while, I found that they were different from dogs. But I have raised them for so long that I can't bear to throw them away. Don't worry, these two dogs are well raised. They won't bite people and won't pull anything into the car casually."
Zhou Peng nodded: "That's fine, I think it's pretty clean, and fortunately the goods in my truck are not for eating."
"This batch of goods is not large. There is room for you in the back of the truck. I will take you there to have a look."
After thanking Zhou Peng again, they settled down at the designated spot at the back of the truck and spread out the quilts they had brought.
The cargo in this truck should be cotton, all packed in big black bags. It is soft and warm to lean against.
It was definitely cold in the back of the truck that day, but the wind wasn't that strong because of the cloth blocking it.
Lin Zhen also went to buy a few hot water bottles.
Song Wei felt it and thought it was pretty good.
"It's more comfortable than sitting in a hard seat on the train."
Of course, it cannot compare to the sleeper berths on a train. After all, the temperature inside the train is relatively warm. But the advantage of a truck is that there are not many people and the smell is not that strong, so there is no need to worry about their things being stolen at any time.
Heidan was a little excited. It was his first time riding in such a big car. He ran up and down with bright eyes.
"When I grow up, I want to drive such a majestic car."
Lin Zhen patted his head: "You have ambition."
At the same time, he was also thinking about his future.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Be a police officer or a truck driver.
Both professions have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Police officers are state servants and their status is certainly incomparable to that of truck drivers, but their salary is fixed, and with that little money they may be in danger at any time.
Lin Zhen is not afraid of danger. He has never been afraid even on the battlefield. Now that he has a partner... he is not afraid either.
His girlfriend is a better fighter than him, so if something really happens, his girlfriend can take care of it.
Although truck drivers also receive a fixed salary, after getting to know many truck drivers over this period of time, he discovered the unspoken rules of the industry and found that there is money to be made in driving a truck.
In addition, the salary of long-distance truck drivers is much higher than that of police officers, so the actual income of truck drivers is actually quite high.
This he inferred from what the truck drivers said.
But it is not easy, especially for long-distance drivers, who are often away from home for ten days or half a month, and are always transporting goods outside. It is easy to have accidents when driving for a long time, and they are prone to robbery in certain areas.
"What are you thinking about?"
Song Wei held down the two wolf cubs and poked Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen came to his senses and told her his conflicted thoughts.
"What do you think I should choose?"
Song Wei just asked him: "What do you want to do?"
Lin Zhen pondered: "I prefer to be a truck driver."
He used to be a soldier. Now he is discharged due to injury. If he goes back to work as a policeman, he will feel a sense of gap. It is not a gap in his career, but a gap in his combat awareness.
Rather than investigating and handling cases in one place, he prefers to go to dangerous places and fight with real weapons, even if the environment is more difficult.
So now, he wants to change to a different lifestyle.
But he still hesitated.
"Let me think about it and talk to you when I get back."
