There was still time, so Suti carefully studied the document. She wanted to go back and mention it to her grandfather first.
She doesn't pretend to be aloof when it comes to taking shortcuts.
When Suti finished reading the documents, her eyes felt sore and uncomfortable. Looking out the window at the vast expanse of white, she realized it was snowing outside.
She thought about Baichuan's first day on the road, and how it was snowing. If the roads were icy, it would be difficult to drive. She wondered how he was doing.
Li Baichuan arrived early. When he got to the transport team, there weren't many people there yet. The drivers knew he was going out today, so they came over to him warmly when they saw him.
"Brother Chuan, Master Lu is over at the loading and unloading team." Knowing who he was looking for, a few drivers who didn't have any work today pointed him in the right direction.
"Okay, I understand." Li Baichuan no longer felt anything about these people who were a generation older than him calling him "brother".
He knew the loading and unloading team was about to load and unload the goods transported today, and he thought he was early enough, but he didn't expect Master Lu to be even earlier than him.
"Did Brother Chuan go out for a drive today? That's great! I don't even know when I'll get to drive. I'm so envious!"
As soon as Li Baichuan left, Yu Qingfeng, who had been cleaning, came over with a look of envy on his face.
"Brother Chuan is amazing. He learns quickly. As long as you study hard, you'll be able to get started soon. But there's not much time left. You'll probably have to wait until after the New Year."
Yu Qingfeng has been here for a few days and quickly became one of the group, mainly because he is such an honest and straightforward person.
He eagerly volunteered for every task, appearing timid and cowardly, which made the other drivers feel awkward targeting him.
Gradually, they became more willing to talk to him, and he became even more attentive whenever they looked a little better.
Every time we saw his delighted expression, we felt extremely relieved and treated him much better.
"Brother Chuan is really amazing, but it seems like he doesn't like me." Yu Qingfeng's expression changed from envy to frustration.
"Xiao Yu, you're overthinking it. That's just that Brother Chuan doesn't like to talk. That's just how he is." Several people came over to persuade him when they saw him like this.
"Oh, I see. But he didn't act like that when he was with Comrade Bian."
Yu Qingfeng looked at the worried faces of the group, as if he was afraid that others would dislike him for being timid and cowardly.
“You don’t know if you’re new here, but Biancheng was always following him around. He couldn’t stand being pestered by him. Later, as time went on and they got to know each other better, they started talking more.”
The group didn't know what to say, and Li Baichuan didn't like talking to them, except for Biancheng.
They all felt that it was Biancheng who was shamelessly following him, and that they certainly couldn't do that.
"Is that so?" Yu Qingfeng lowered his head and didn't speak. Everyone thought he was worried about something again.
He even patted him on the shoulder to encourage him not to be afraid.
Yu Qingfeng didn't say anything and continued cleaning the transport team. Only he knew how agitated he was.
Although he was from Beijing, he lived at the very bottom of society. When he was in school, everyone was a student, but he got better grades than everyone else.
However, after graduation, those who did not perform as well as him quickly found jobs thanks to their families.
What good are his grades and his character if he's not a good person?
He had no job and could only go to the countryside. How could he be willing to do that? But his father was a carpenter and his mother was unemployed.
He's the eldest son, with two younger sisters and a younger brother; supporting them all is quite a task.
He tried every possible way to get a temporary job, spending all the money his family had saved.
He was secretly pleased that he no longer had to go to the countryside and could stay in Beijing.
But he gradually realized that things were different. He was a temporary worker, and not only was his salary low and his benefits poor, but his work was also more tiring than others.
He was thinking about when he could get a house; he never wanted his family to be crammed into that dilapidated alleyway again.
But he was a temporary worker, and it seemed like he had no hope of becoming a permanent employee, let alone owning a house.
He was unwilling to give up, but later he heard that several families in the alley wanted to arrange a marriage for his younger sister, and he had a new idea.
His younger sister has been beautiful since she was a child and has a good personality, so he definitely wants to find her a good husband.
He searched everywhere and finally found out about Gao Fei, a full-time employee of the transportation department, who was also a driver.
When he came back, he told his younger sister that Gao Fei had a good job, a good character, and was a driver. Sure enough, the whole family was tempted.
He coaxed his younger sister by saying he wanted to save up for her dowry, that the family didn't have much money, and that if he got a job as a driver, he would give her half of his salary.
Sure enough, she was tempted, and after her parents learned about Gao Fei's situation, they insisted on giving him a job as a driver.
But for some reason, that idiot did something that resulted in him not only failing to get the job, but also being suspended.
When the younger sister heard the news, she wanted to break up with him, but how could he agree to that? He then coaxed her, saying that she might as well give him her job.
It's better to give her half of his salary than to give it to Gao Fei's younger brother. After he gets married, she, as his sister-in-law, won't get a single penny.
Although his job is temporary, he will be able to get a permanent position later, which will be no worse than that of a driver.
He can give her half of it, so no matter how you look at it, they're making a profit.
Sure enough, his younger sister told that guy named Gao Fei, and somehow she managed to coax him into doing the job.
He thought this was good; the whole family was happy and everyone was content. As for what would happen in the future, they would deal with that later.
He believed that his younger sister would eventually have to rely on her family, and that his mother would persuade her to stay.
But when he arrived at the transport team, he found that none of them welcomed him. It might be because of Gao Fei, or it might be because they looked down on him.
He fawned over these people like a grandson every day, and finally they gave him a friendly welcome.
Apart from Li Baichuan and Bian Cheng, no matter how much he smiled and begged, neither of them would even look at him directly.
He didn't really care; everyone had accepted him, and these two people couldn't sway him at all.
Although that guy surnamed Li looks intimidating and everyone calls him "brother," we're all just drivers, and no one is more noble than anyone else.
Once he learns to drive and is on the road, everyone will be the same; he's no worse than anyone else.
But later, he overheard other drivers chatting and learned that the man surnamed Li was someone important; he was the only son of the steel mill director in Biancheng.
He was extremely surprised to learn that the two men were of increasingly higher status.
This person, whom he could never reach before, is now right beside him. How could he miss such an opportunity?
No matter what he did, the two remained unmoved, and he thought of those people he used to admire.
He's climbed higher than them all now; he's a driver, a full-time employee of the transportation department, and everyone who sees him now says he's successful.
In just a few days, matchmakers practically wore out his doorstep, and he felt he could climb even higher.
