Chapter 17 It's Ridiculous



Xu Xiangyang went back to take a shower, then washed and dried his clothes. After doing all this, he went to the cafeteria.

I ordered myself a meal and ate two in a row.

There was no other way, he was just too hungry. After surviving the day with so much strength, he felt like his body wasn't his own.

Although it wasn't mine originally, I still felt very tired.

After eating and drinking, Xu Xiangyang set the alarm and fell asleep.

The alarm clock is mechanical and will ring at the set time, so it is not affected by space.

The next morning, when the alarm clock rang, Xu Xiangyang felt like life was meaningless.

My whole body aches and I feel sleepy...

I didn't feel anything yesterday, but this morning I felt terrible and it was difficult to even get up.

He sat up with difficulty and looked at the alarm clock. It was already 6:50, so he had to get up.

After washing and dressing with difficulty, he drank a glass of milk, ate a piece of bread, and left the space.

He couldn't eat anything at first, but when he thought about how tired he was today, he decided to stop pushing himself and go eat something.

Otherwise it won’t be good before noon, as they won’t serve food in advance.

When we arrived at the granary, it was exactly 7:20 and quite a few people were already there.

It's not even daybreak yet and everyone's here.

"Brother Xiangyang, you're here quite early." Yan Laosan greeted him when he saw him coming.

Xu Xiangyang smiled and replied, "You're all here. I'm here just in time."

Indeed, they had been sitting in the lounge for a while.

"Come into the house and warm up first, otherwise you won't be able to hold on for a while." Yan Laosan asked him to go into the house, and the stove inside was lit.

The room was indeed warm, but it was just daybreak, so the chill was still quite strong.

Yan Lao San looked at him and asked, "Where do you live, brother? Why are you here so early?"

Most workers come to check the time, and those who live far away come early.

Xu Xiangyang's heart tightened. What should he say?

"Come out for roll call!" Zhang Xiao's voice sounded outside.

A group of people rushed out, and Xu Xiangyang hurriedly followed them out. It was really the right time.

If it were any later, he wouldn't know how to say this.

The roll call took several minutes, and Xu Xiangyang felt very cold standing there.

He changed into new cotton-padded clothes and trousers yesterday. They were very warm underneath, but it was still useless.

The shoes are also large cotton shoes, handmade black lace-up cotton shoes, which are very retro and warm to wear.

After Zhang Xiao finished speaking, he asked them to start working.

Xu Xiangyang, carrying the food, didn't feel as relaxed as he had yesterday. Walking was also very difficult.

Well, it’s over this time.

But he couldn't give up now, so he kept doing it and persisted for half a month.

The past half month passed very slowly, at least that's what Xu Xiangyang thought.

He looked at the blisters on his hands which had turned into calluses, and he had finally adapted to them after so many days.

At least he felt much stronger than before and could eat more every day.

The two steamed buns I ate in the cafeteria at noon didn’t fill me up at all, and I had to sneak out to eat two meat buns, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to work in the afternoon.

Xu Xiangyang swiftly carried the last bag of food, dusted himself off, and followed everyone to the lounge.

At this time, Zhang Xiao ran over anxiously and started talking to the people in the car.

"No, Brother Zhang, I have to hurry to the next trip, my boss is waiting for me." The driver looked helpless.

Zhang Xiao frowned, "What should we do? The driver fainted from hypoglycemia, and we don't have a driver here. The food can't be delivered any later."

There are only four drivers in the grain warehouse, and they are very busy with the transportation in and out every day.

If one person is missing, things will be delayed.

After Xu Xiangyang heard this, a light flashed in his eyes. He ran over and asked, "Brother Zhang, what's going on?"

Zhang Xiao didn't say anything when he saw him. What's the point of talking to him? He's just a temporary porter.

Xu Xiangyang seemed not to notice the impatience in his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, I heard you say that there was a problem with the driver, right? I used to drive a truck. If you trust me, I'll go with you."

In his previous life, he did drive a truck and had a truck license. He started out in transportation, but later it became too tiring, so he switched to internal work.

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but laugh when he heard what he said, "You can drive? Stop it."

It's no wonder he didn't believe it. He had read Xu Xiangyang's file before, and he was just from the countryside.

Are there trucks in the countryside?

If he said he could drive a tractor, maybe I would believe him.

Can drive a truck...

It's ridiculous.

Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, how could I joke about such an urgent matter? How about I go with you to the truck and you watch me drive around?"

Whether it's a mule or a horse, take it out for a walk. How can you tell if you don't let them try?

Zhang Xiao stopped laughing when he heard this and looked at Xu Xiangyang seriously. Judging from his expression, he was not lying and was indeed anxious.

"Okay, if you can't drive, don't blame me for being cruel and firing you!" He also believed it.

If Xu Xiangyang lied, he would definitely be angry.

Xu Xiangyang nodded quickly and followed him away.

Everyone in the lounge at the back looked at each other, because the distance was not far and everyone could hear what was happening.

"Third brother, is this kid crazy? He goes there even though he can't drive?"

When Old Third Yan heard this, he didn't laugh. He looked at the figure in the distance and said, "This Brother Xiangyang isn't a boastful person. Maybe he really can drive."

After spending so much time together, he almost understood Xu Xiangyang's character.

He never says he can't do something, he is a very pragmatic person.

On the other side, the pragmatic Xu Xiangyang followed to the other side of the yard, where a truck was parked.

He looked around and found that they were all similar. Although some were quite outdated, the performance of the cars was still similar.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Xiao said, "Get in the car. The keys are on it."

You won’t know whether you can drive or not until you try.

The young man following the car heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhang Xiao bringing people over.

The driver had an accident and he couldn't drive, so he could only wait.

Xu Xiangyang got into the car and tried the steering wheel, and it was indeed very heavy.

But I've gotten used to the physical work these days and can adapt.

If it were in the first few days, I probably wouldn't even be able to hold the steering wheel.

He started the car, drove around the yard, and practiced backing into a parking space.

Yeah, familiar.

Zhang Xiao didn't expect that he could actually drive, and drive so well.

He was a little surprised at once, and when he saw someone coming over, he said, "Okay, you can help run this trip. I'll give you a small amount of money for the round trip, and I'll pay you extra when you come back."

This trip out must not be in vain, so I have to make it clear.

Xu Xiangyang smiled and nodded, then drove away with Xiao Qian.

He wasn't going to act rashly this time. If he didn't want to do the physical work, he had to find an opportunity, right?
