Chapter 234: Heart-pounding

Baoshan Village.

Third sister’s house.

Seeing the light in his nephew Bu Zhongshi's eyes and hearing him say "I want to make a lot of money and stand out in the world", Deng Shirong knew that he had made the final choice among these paths. Unless he, as his uncle, came forward to object, even his parents would not be able to change his mind.

Think about the freight business. In fact, the chance of accidents is not high. As long as he teaches his nephew some experience in traveling, it is not impossible to do it.

Thinking of this, Deng Shirong stopped the third sister who wanted to continue to object and asked seriously: "Zhongshi, have you really thought it through?"

As soon as Bu Zhongshi saw his uncle's reaction, he knew there was hope for this, and said without hesitation: "Uncle, I've made up my mind, I want to do freight!"

Deng Shirong did not comment, looked at his nephew, and asked, "Xiao Shi, what about you?"

Although Bu Xiaoshi also wanted to make a lot of money in transportation, he saw that his parents were against it, and his uncle's words were indeed a bit scary. He thought about it and said, "Uncle, then I'd better choose to contract the mountain slopes to grow sugarcane at home!"

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Okay, then let's contract out all the public hills and slopes in the village together with your parents. You can't make money by planting a small amount of sugarcane, but once the scale of planting is increased, you can still make a lot of money."

Bu Xiaoshi nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Deng Shilan was also very satisfied with her youngest son's choice.

When Bu Zhongshi heard that his younger brother chose to grow sugarcane at home, he was not disappointed. Instead, he was secretly relieved. He really wanted to give it a try and create a brilliant life, but his uncle said that this business would involve great risks, and he did not take it seriously.

He can do this kind of risky thing alone, and there is no need for his younger brother to get involved. If something unexpected really happens, his parents will not only lose one son but two, which would be a huge blow.

After Deng Shirong asked his youngest nephew what he thought, he turned to his second nephew and said, "Zhongshi, it's not impossible for you to do freight transportation, but you can't do it alone. You need to bring at least one other person with you. It's definitely safer for two people to drive together than alone. And if you travel long distances, you can take turns driving. This is very important."

Bu Zhongshi immediately thought of his childhood friend and said, "That's no problem. When you rode over here just now, wasn't I going to the river with someone to swim? He and I grew up together, so I can take him along."

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "It's better to be with your best friend. You can buy the car with a loan, but you can ask your good friend to be the driver. This can be regarded as providing him with a job with a good income. I believe he will be willing to do so."

Bu Zhongshi smiled and said, "This is also a coincidence. Before, he was worried about having nothing to do and didn't know what to do. If I could offer him such a good job, he would be so happy. How could he not be willing?"

Deng Shirong hummed and said, "Since you have decided to take this path, then you can find some time to go to the county town with your friend to learn how to drive!"

Bu Zhongshi happily responded, "Got it!"

Hearing this, Deng Shilan was still a little worried and asked, "Brother, will this work?"

Deng Shirong comforted her, "Third sister, you don't have to worry too much. There are risks in freight transportation, but they are not serious. If they were, who would dare to run a truck? As long as you stay alert when you go out to drive a truck, and try to team up with other truck drivers on the same route, the risk will be greatly reduced.

If you are unlucky and really encounter a car thief, then you should act according to the situation, spend money to avoid disaster, and focus on protecting yourself. If you lose money, you can earn it back, but don't take risks and fight with such desperate people. It's really not worth it. "

Deng Shilan felt a little relieved after hearing this. He looked at his second son and said, "Since you plan to do freight, then listen to your uncle. Be more careful when you go out. Don't think about risking your life when you encounter problems. Safety is the most important thing. Do you understand?"

Bu Zhongshi nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand, don't worry, Mom!"

Next, Deng Shirong gave his second nephew some detailed instructions based on his past life experience, and then he stood up and said, "Third sister, third brother-in-law, I'll be leaving first!"

Deng Shilan tried to persuade him, "Brother, why are you in such a hurry? Come and have dinner before you go back!"

Bu Erzhu also said, "Yeah, there's nothing to do when you go back anyway, why don't you have dinner here before going back? I'll have a few drinks with you."

Deng Shirong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I won't eat. I still have to go to Yuntai's uncle's house. Their children also asked me to bring back their wages."

After hearing this, Deng Shilan couldn't keep him.

After a few more polite words, Deng Shirong rode away on his bicycle.

After watching his uncle leave, Bu Zhongshi said, "I'm going to find Dajun to discuss learning to drive," and ran towards the river.

…

Ten minutes later.

On a piece of grass about a few dozen meters away from the river, Bu Zhongshi and his little friend Bu Dajun sat opposite each other.

Bu Dajun asked, "Zhongshi, why don't you go swimming to cool down in such a hot day? Why did you call me here?"

Thinking of the road he was about to take, Bu Zhongshi said excitedly: "Da Jun, weren't you worried about what to do before? Now the opportunity to work is here!"

Bu Dajun asked curiously, "My job opportunity has come? You said it wrong, right? It should be your job opportunity that has come. Tell me quickly, what job has your uncle arranged for you? Are you going to help out in the county town like your brother?"

Bu Zhongshi smiled and said, "My uncle did show me the way. Not only did I get a job opportunity, but I also plan to bring you along. I wonder if you're willing to follow me."

Bu Dajun's eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "Of course I'm willing to do that. What kind of job is it?"

Bu Zhongshi said with great enthusiasm: "Drive a big truck!"

Bu Dajun was shocked when he heard this, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Driving a truck? Being a driver among the Eight Great Officials?"

"Yes, that is, to be a driver among the eight members."

Hearing his friend's affirmative answer, Bu Dajun could no longer sit still, and jumped up from the grass and said, "Zhongshi, are you serious? You are not joking?"

Bu Zhongshi understood why his friends were so shocked. After all, the eight major officials of that era were very enviable professions, especially the driver who controlled the steering wheel, which was really very attractive to boys.

"Of course I'm serious. I'm busy with important things right now, so I don't have time to joke with you!"

"Very good!"

Bu Dajun was so excited that he somersaulted several times on the grass and laughed, "I never thought that I would become a driver one day."

Bu Zhongshi smiled and said, "Don't be too happy yet. We both don't know how to drive yet. If you want to become a driver, you have to go to the county with me first to learn how to drive and get a driver's license."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After hearing this, Bu Dajun finally calmed down and asked nervously, "Zhongshi, learning to drive costs money, right? Do you know how much it costs?"

Bu Zhongshi knew that his friend's family was in financial difficulty, and that asking his parents to pay for his driving lessons would probably require a lot of effort. He would also probably have to prove to his parents that he could really become a driver after learning how to drive.

As a future boss, he felt it necessary to help his friend, so he said generously: "Don't worry about this, I will help you with the tuition. When you go back, say hello to your parents, and we will take the bus to Bobai to learn how to drive tomorrow."

His uncle had just told him clearly where to go in the county to learn how to drive.

Moreover, his brother, cousin and his wife are all in the county town, so they don't have to worry about food and accommodation, and can set off at any time. Anyway, his uncle has agreed to let him take this path, so his parents will definitely not object anymore, and he will not be short of money for driving lessons.

Bu Dajun buried his gratitude in his heart and said, "Okay, I'll go back and tell my parents now, and we'll set off tomorrow."

…

Deng Shirong left his third sister's house and went to his two brothers-in-law's houses. A pork butt weighing more than ten pounds was a must for each family. He had not yet finished eating the thank-you gifts he had received for his matchmaking and the pork butt braised pork he had stockpiled. It would be perfect to give them to his relatives.

When they received the wages that their children asked their brother-in-law to bring back, Chen Dacong and his wife, as well as Chen Daming and his wife, were very happy.

Especially Chen Dacong and his wife, their eldest son and daughter both work in the county town, which has made them the center of attention in the village.

Now that the children have just worked for a month, they asked their eldest uncle to bring back 40 yuan in salary. This gave them something to brag about, and the couple can now enjoy glory in the village for a while.

…

I visited three brigades, Tanlian, Datong and Zhouwang, in one day, and when I got home it was already time for dinner.

Dinner was made by my niece Bu Dafang. It was just a simple dish of stir-fried pork and water spinach with rice. It tasted pretty good.

After all, yellow fried pork can be considered a local specialty. Every cook has made it countless times, and there is no technical difficulty. As long as you are not a clumsy person, the taste will basically not be too bad.

There is no need to mention water spinach, which is the most eaten vegetable by Bobai people all year round. If someone who cooks all year round can't even cook this dish well, it proves that their family definitely has no pursuit of food and only wants to fill their stomachs.

After dinner, when Deng Shirong was sitting under his longan tree burning incense, Deng Changping and Chen Xiaohua, a couple, each carried a load of grain over.

Ever since Deng Shirong lent all his family's fields to Deng Changping for farming, the couple would carry two loads of rice over after every rice harvest.

Every time Deng Shirong told them that they didn't need to carry so much grain, and just carry one load a year as a token of their appreciation would be enough. However, Deng Changping and his wife would just smile and continue to carry more grain after the next harvest.

The character of this couple is indeed ranked among the best in the village.

Especially in his previous life, Deng Shirong received a lot of care from the couple in his later years.

If there is something suitable for them as a couple, we must find a way to help them.
