Zhang Tiantian came over and asked Gu Ranran, "Ranran, have you made the call? We're getting ready to go back. We've bought the gift for Uncle Li. Lu Hai went to buy it. He bought three bottles of Moutai, four packs of Daqian, two pounds of brown sugar, and two pounds of White Rabbit milk candy."
Lu Jiang and I went to the state-owned restaurant to pack up our food. Tonight, Lu Jiang and Lu Hai also had to go to my dad to get their work certificates, so we packed up our food and went back to eat together.
Lu Hai also bought an extra bottle of Moutai, planning to drink some with my dad during dinner."
Gu Ranran leaned close to Zhang Tiantian's ear and whispered, "Tiantian, did you take out the meat your father asked us to buy?"
"Ran Ran, you asked me why I wasn't carrying the meat we bought this morning? It's not that Lu Jiang was afraid of tiring me out. Lu Jiang was carrying it. It was a full five pounds, and he was a little tired after carrying it for so long."
"Then let's go back now! I'm worried that Tiantian might drop the meat and won't be able to explain it when she gets back."
"Ran Ran, I'm not a child anymore. How can you say that I will lose my meat? Am I so unreliable?"
"Hahaha, Tiantian, I'm the unreliable one. I'm just worried about you. I'm afraid you'll run into some bad guys and think they've taken the meat away."
"That's more like it. How could I, such a smart person, lose the meat? It will ruin my reputation forever."
As soon as they got on the bicycle, Gu Ranran asked, "Ahai, do you two like this job?"
"Ranran, my brother and I both like it. Don't worry, my brother and I can both drive a tractor, so we should be able to learn to drive a truck quickly."
Gu Ranran asked worriedly, "Tiantian, how are we going to tell the captain and the others how we found the job? We can't say we bought it, right? After all, we don't have that much money."
"Ranran, don't worry. Lu Jiang and I have already discussed it. Let's say that Lu Hai and Lu Jiang's jobs are because they saved Uncle Li, and the two of us got jobs because you knew Uncle Li. Ranran, don't worry, I'll tell you when the time comes."
"Tiantian, you're fine. I feel relieved. Also, don't we have a house in the commune? How do we say we want to live there?"
"Ran Ran, we can put it this way. Isn't Uncle Li your neighbor? He has a good relationship with your family, and in order to make it convenient for you to go to work, he arranged a staff dormitory for us.
No one knows where we live anyway. Even my parents don’t have time to send me to work, and they don’t know where we live either.
After we've worked for a while, we'll say, "We just saw someone selling a house, so we'll buy it. Then we can bring my parents to live in the commune."
"That's fine. Tiantian is smart and has made all the arrangements. I feel at ease when I'm with Tiantian."
"You two stop talking. Lu Hai and I need to speed up. It's getting late now, and we have to get home before dinner."
When Zhang Tiantian and her friends arrived home, Zhang's mother had not yet returned to cook, so they hurried into the kitchen to heat up the food. Zhang Tiantian and Gu Ranran started the fire, while Lu Jiang and Lu Hai heated up the food.
When Zhang's mother and the team leader came back, they saw that delicious food was already on the table. Zhang Tiantian, Gu Ranran, Lu Jiang and Lu Hai were sitting at the table waiting for them.
The captain asked worriedly, "Tiantian, why are the four of you here? You bought so many delicious foods and even prepared Maotai for me.
Tiantian, tell me, have you four gotten into trouble? Do you need me to intervene?
Zhang Tiantian pulled the captain to sit down, and Lu Jiang poured him some Maotai. Seeing this, the captain became even more worried and said anxiously, "Tiantian, tell me what trouble you've gotten into. Tell me, Dad won't blame you. If it doesn't work out, Dad will find someone to help you."
"Hahaha, Dad, we didn't get into trouble. And something really good happened to us today. It was a big surprise."
"Tiantian, don't keep me in suspense. Just tell Dad. Dad is old and can't stand it anymore."
"Dad, the four of us found jobs at the commune today, and we're truck drivers. We're working together, and each of us gets 40 yuan a month."
Zhang's mother asked in surprise, "What? You found a job? How did you find it? And you're a truck driver? Can you drive?"
"Mom and Dad, don't worry. I'll explain everything to you slowly. Brother Lu Jiang and Lu Hai went to the commune and saw Director Li's bag was robbed, so they helped Director Li get it back.
Director Li had important documents in his bag, so I'm very grateful to them. Seeing your good skills, I think you two are suitable for driving a sports car, so I've introduced you to the job of truck apprentice.
In order to thank Uncle Li for introducing you to the job, the two of them invited Director Li to dinner at a state-owned restaurant.
But Ranran and I happened to see him. Director Li turned out to be Ranran's neighbor in Beijing. He knew Ranran could drive, and when Director Li was driving in Beijing before, Ranran even pestered Director Li to go racing with him.
It just so happened that our commune had built a new fertilizer plant and added two more trucks, so we needed to recruit four drivers. Director Li wanted Ranran to be a truck driver.
As for me, seeing that the four of them all had jobs, I also wanted to work with them. Ranran asked me if I could go to work together. Director Li said that he had to evaluate me first.
After dinner, Director Li took us to the assessment. Brother Lu Jiang and Lu Hai knew how to drive a tractor, so they picked it up quickly and drove very steadily, and they passed the assessment quickly.
As soon as we arrived at the assessment site, Ran Ran asked me to drive. Brother Lu Jiang and Lu Hai took the assessment first, and when it was my turn, Ran Ran sat next to me and gave me instructions, and I passed the assessment smoothly.
