Qi Jinzhou was not lying when he said that learning to drive is not easy.
Especially in the field of auto repair.
Why were most drivers in the past men? Because in many cases, this was a physically demanding job.
The three of them lay on the ground under the car for almost two hours. It was already dark. At this moment, Chen Chunhua and Lin Guoqing each held a flashlight and stood on Qi Jinzhou's left and right to shine a light on him.
Qi Jinzhou was carefully explaining the structure of those components to them.
"You may have seen this position in books. It belongs to the mechanical transmission design..."
Liang Shengdi and Sanni would appear by the truck at around 9:30 every night.
"Hey, tonight's supper is red date and lotus root soup. I've already cooled it down. You can just pick it up and drink it!"
This was prepared by Liang Shengdi at Chen Chunhua's request. It was a daily midnight snack, primarily to thank Comrade Xiao Qi, though they could also enjoy a little. As for the menu, Liang Shengdi decided, and she would cook whatever she wanted that day.
"Mom...you've been eating red dates for three days straight, aren't you tired of them yet?"
Lin Guoqing took a sip from his bowl. It wasn't cold yet, but the cloying sweetness made him feel a bit sick. Yesterday, it was red dates and longans, and the day before, it was red dates made with fermented lees. He regretted buying so much that day just for convenience. Who would have thought his mother would want to eat it all at once?
"If you want to drink, drink. If you don't want to drink, forget it." Liang Shengdi didn't indulge him. She chewed her own bowl of red dates and started to talk back.
"Other old ladies basically stay in bed after dinner, but I have to help you keep an eye on the children after dinner, rush them upstairs to do their homework, and even cook you supper. And you still despise me..."
"Mom! I was wrong! These red dates are so delicious!!"
…
I don’t know if men are really more talented than women in auto repair, but while Chen Chunhua was still memorizing the theoretical knowledge in the book, Lin Guoqing had already taken charge of solving a car stall problem on his own.
When Shen Chunhua finally got into the car and touched the steering wheel, Lin Guoqing was already driving his newly bought pickup truck around Sihe Village.
The car is registered under the name of Chunhua Mushroom Farm. It is both a public bus and a private car. Who says that the farm belongs to her 100%?
The mushroom harvest in the second half of this year was very good. Now the planting area of each type of mushroom is basically around 1,000 square meters. By the end of December, the total harvest exceeded kilograms.
Not to mention the 7,000 yuan quantity that the supply and marketing cooperative required at the beginning, her total profit was nearly yuan. Another semi-truck was here.
When Lin Shuying came back from school during the winter break, she walked out of the train station and was still thinking of heading towards the riverside pier, but her attention was attracted by a horn sound.
"Dana~ here~" Lin Guoqing was sitting in the driver's seat of his family's blue truck, waving excitedly at Lin Shuying. Next to him, Chen Chunhua was also trying to attract Lin Shuying's attention by peeking out.
Lin Shuying ran over with her eyes wide open. Chen Chunhua pushed open the passenger door and got out of the car. She took the bags from her hands and carried her up by the butt.
"Dad, where did this car come from?"
"Of course it's ours!"
"Ours?" Lin Shuying touched the seat under her butt, still a little incredulous. "How much does it cost? You didn't even mention it in the letter you wrote to me..."
"It's only been less than two months since I bought it, and your mom said she wanted to give you a surprise!"
"Twelve thousand, your mother said it's not expensive!"
Lin Guoqing started the car with a smile, and even teased Chen Chunhua.
"Oh, my girl! You and your father are so lucky! I married your mother, and you were reborn in her belly... Tsk tsk tsk, do you know what everyone in the village calls your mother now?"
"Lin Guoqing~" Chen Chunhua glared at him unhappily, but it really had no deterrent effect.
"Golden Cicada Boy, hahahaha!"
Lin Shuying immediately understood the meaning, "Mom! You made so much this year!"
"Not bad." Chen Chunhua took out a noodle from her pocket and handed it to her daughter. She always smiled at Lin Shuying.
"That's about... the income from ten small trucks!"
Lin Shuying: !!! "So many! How come it's so great all of a sudden this year?"
"It's not even a moment." Chen Chunhua was neither modest nor proud, and she calculated the bill for her daughter seriously.
"After so many years of laying the foundation, it can only be said that it is a long-term accumulation and then a breakthrough. This money should be earned by me."
Lin Guoqing nodded while driving, and gave a thumbs up to Chen Chunhua.
"My wife is a cow!"
"You can do it! Drive carefully. You've only had your license for a few days! No violations during your internship!"
Chen Chunhua spoke angrily to Lin Guoqing. She absolutely refused to admit that she was jealous. They had both started learning together, but this guy was already qualified to take the driver's license test, while she still had to study for a while longer.
Lin Shuying looked at her father curiously, looking left and right, feeling it was amazing. "Dad, you got your driver's license? So fast? When did you start learning?"
"After I send you to Shanghai." Chen Chunhua pushed the noodles in Lin Shuying's hand toward her again, "Eat them while they're hot. They won't taste good when they're cold. I just kept them in my arms for a long time!"
"Oh, I'll eat it. I'll eat it. Mom, please continue." Lin Shuying quickly took a big bite.
"I studied with your father, and he passed the exam just a few days ago. I guess I'll be able to pass it after the New Year."
Lin Shuying almost choked on the egg noodles. "Mom, are you learning to drive too?"
"That's right." Chen Chunhua curled her eyes. "When I pass my driving test and earn more next year, I'll buy a small car! I'll drive you to school next time!"
Lin Shuying didn't know how to praise her awesome old mother anymore, so she could only give her a thumbs up silently.
sharp!
"Learning to drive is expensive, right?" Lin Shuying ate her noodles and recalled the messages she had chatted with her classmates at school. "One of my classmates said it would cost over a thousand yuan."
Speaking of this matter, Chen Chunhua and Lin Guoqing felt a little embarrassed.
It was not until the day when Lin Guoqing went to take the driving test that he found out that the tuition for learning to drive a truck is actually 1,800 yuan. How much is the average salary?
When he came back, he told Chen Chunhua about this. The two of them took the money to find Qi Jinzhou, but he refused to accept it and said that if he dared to accept the money, Sanni would kick him out.
The couple discussed it for a long time and decided that they couldn't just let it go. They thought that their home already had all the electrical appliances except for a refrigerator.
In the end, Lin Guoqing spent a lot of money and asked Lao Shi to help buy an imported refrigerator from a friend on the black market. The refrigerator was more advanced and better than the one in their house, and the price was 2,750 yuan.
But even so, they still got the upper hand.
