Before the time was up, Xu Xiangyang found a place to enter the space and brought out two boxes of vegetables.
His visit to Yan Lao San today has not yet been completed. He has found a job, but he still has not found a place to live.
Although my own space is livable and very comfortable, it is not a long-term solution.
What if someone wants to go to his house one day, or the couple from the countryside come to see him, where would he take them?
You can't sleep on the street or under a bridge, right?
So the housing problem has to be solved, otherwise it will be too troublesome to find one later.
At noon, Xu Xiangyang carried his bag and went to the granary.
Yan Laosan had been waiting at the door for a long time. Xu Xiangyang had said before that he wanted to look for him, so he didn't go to the cafeteria after work.
"Brother Xiangyang! What do you want to talk to me about?" Yan Laosan greeted him and asked.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "Third brother, you know I'm from the countryside. The dormitory is overcrowded right now, and I can't find a place to live. I used to stay at a relative's house, but you say it's not right to always live in someone else's house."
This was indeed reasonable, and Yan Laosan nodded in agreement.
Xu Xiangyang continued, "So I want to rent a single room. The environment doesn't matter. A grown man doesn't care about that. Third brother, can you see if there's anything suitable?"
He doesn't know anyone here, so if he wants to rent a house, he has to find someone from the city.
After all, you can't post flyers at this time, and he can't just knock on every door and ask, right?
Yan Lao San didn't expect that he would ask this. After thinking for a moment, he replied, "I'll go back and ask your sister-in-law tonight. I'm away from home at work every day, so I don't know if there are any houses for rent nearby. Is this urgent for you?"
How could this not be urgent? However, Xu Xiangyang also knew that finding a house would not be done in a day or two.
He said, "Don't worry, Third Brother, take your time to look for it. Let's go to the cafeteria to eat first. I ordered two dishes outside, let's eat."
It’s better not to drink at this time. Although Xu Xiangyang can drink, it’s during working hours, so it’s better not to delay him.
Yan Laosan smiled and nodded without refusing. He knew that Xu Xiangyang had become a driver and had become a formal employee, so there was nothing wrong with eating something.
But when he saw these two dishes, he immediately lost his composure.
"Brother, this won't do. This is too extravagant. Take it back quickly." As he said this, he asked Xu Xiangyang to close the lid of the lunch box.
Xu Xiangyang looked at the two lunch boxes, which contained one box of scrambled eggs with peppers and the other box of stewed chicken legs with potatoes.
"Third brother, what are you doing? I brought this here for us to eat." Xu Xiangyang quickly picked up some food for him and said, "Third brother, we've known each other for such a long time, but we haven't had a good meal together. I'll treat you to a drink when we have the chance."
When Yan Laosan heard this, he felt so upset. Brother Xiangyang was too honest. If he met someone else in this situation, he would definitely suffer.
"Okay, Brother Xiangyang, I won't be polite with you today. When I have time, I will take you home to try the food cooked by your sister-in-law." He smiled and started to eat.
Xu Xiangyang nodded, and the two of them ate their meal. After a while, they finished and separated.
Because Yan Laosan still has to go to work, he will go to work tomorrow, so he went back to the previous place today.
The next morning, Xu Xiangyang packed up and went to the driver's lounge.
No one came into the room yet, so he lit the stove. This was a time when he had to be quick and efficient.
After all, since you're new here, there's no harm in doing more work and being a little sweeter.
Even if someone wants to bully him, they have to think twice. It is not okay to bully others blatantly.
After more than ten minutes, Xiao Qian came to the lounge panting, and was a little surprised to see that he had already arrived.
"Comrade Xu, why are you here so early? The stove is already lit." He felt a little embarrassed.
Normally, cleaning the lounge and lighting the stove were Xiao Qian's jobs, but this time Xu Xiangyang helped him complete them.
Although Xu Xiangyang is new, he is the official driver and he is just an apprentice.
Xiao Qian scratched his head and said, "Comrade Xu, next time you don't have to come so early. I can do the work."
It wasn't that he had to do it, but his master had to make him do it. Although he didn't know why, what his master said was definitely right.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Xu Xiangyang said, "Xiao Qian, don't call me Comrade Xu anymore. I don't think you're older than me. You can call me Brother Xiangyang or Brother Xu."
The two of them have known each other for quite some time, and Xiao Qian has helped him a lot. This job is also a blessing for him.
Xiao Qian smiled and nodded, "Okay, Brother Xu, my name is Qian Wenqing, you can just call me Xiaoqing."
As they were talking, two more people came outside, Chen Jiancai and another driver, Zhang Dezhi.
I met Zhang Dezhi yesterday. Although we didn't talk, I could tell that he was not a talkative person.
He usually has a sullen face, as if someone owes him money. He looks to be in his forties, about the same age as Chen Jiancai.
Xu Xiangyang quickly greeted him and asked what he was going to do today.
Chen Jiancai glanced at the clean and tidy house, then at the rag in Xu Xiangyang's hand. He sat on the chair next to him and said, "Today, you and Xiaoqing will follow us on the road. Get familiar with it first."
Because the Chinese New Year had just passed, there was indeed a lot less work.
Xu Xiangyang nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Now the main thing is to familiarize myself with the routes of the vehicles here. In the future, we can’t always have someone to lead the vehicle when it is dispatched, otherwise others will not be able to do the work.
At this time, Qian Wenqing was the only one who was idle, but he had to learn how to drive with Chen Jiancai, and he didn't have to follow Xu Xiangyang.
Today Xu Xiangyang followed Zhang Dezhi's car, Qian Wenqing and Chen Jiancai.
Because he had never met this person before, Xu Xiangyang was still quite scared. What if this person was difficult to get along with? Should he talk more or less?
Adhering to the principle of not saying anything to avoid mistakes, Xu Xiangyang got in the car, said hello, and said nothing else.
Zhang Dezhi didn't say a word along the way and drove silently.
Xu Xiangyang took out a simple map, which basically showed the roads near the provincial capital.
The route is clearly drawn, and the places where you can walk and the road conditions are better are marked.
Zhang Dezhi glanced at him from time to time while driving, and then drove seriously.
When transporting the grain back, Zhang Dezhi unexpectedly spoke.
"Xiao Xu, you drive back home. Do you know the way?"
Xu Xiangyang didn't expect him to let him drive. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately said with a smile: "Okay, I've seen it all just now. Master Zhang, you take the passenger seat."
He had memorized the route on the way here, just to quickly find out the nearby routes.
In the future, he won't have to grope around blindly when driving his car. It's also good to get familiar with the route early. It would be a shame if his boss wants him to take a trip but he doesn't know the way.
