Chapter 176 Life Orientation
Anxin was very satisfied with Dongmei's advice and patted her shoulder encouragingly.
"That's right. This is the quality you should have. As a young person, try everything. Many years later, you will thank yourself for your reckless behavior when you were young."
As the saying goes, don't sleep when you should be working hard. When you are young, you should be striving. An Xin deeply agrees with this.
Dongmei: “…”
Dongmei looked at Anxin's hand on her shoulder and couldn't help but frown. Anxin's words were very earnest and serious, like an elder teaching a younger generation. They were obviously the same age, the only difference was that Anxin was married, while she was not.
After sorting out Dongmei's life direction, Anxin's next thing to do is to drive a truck to find Kaizi, the so-called Xie Laoer, to find out how much repair money her car will cost.
Thinking of this, Anxin said to Dongmei.
"Let's go, we still have things to do, I'll take you to see it!"
Dongmei looked at Anxin with confusion.
"What are you going to see?"
She, a little country girl, had just been encouraged by Anxin and had some grand ambitions. She was ready to become a truck driver with great enthusiasm. Anxin was going to take her to see something again.
It can be seen that Anxin's life experience and life experience seem to be different from hers. What on earth did her childhood friend go through during the time he got married? Dongmei was full of questions.
But no matter what An Xin has been through, in Dong Mei's eyes, An Xin is now like an omnipotent life mentor.
Anxin pointed at the passenger seat of the truck and said to Dongmei.
"You'll find out when you get there!"
She couldn't tell Dongmei that she wanted to take Dongmei to the repair shop. Then when Dongmei drove the truck to the repair shop in the future, that would be what Dongmei did, right?
It is better not to reveal such a thing of betraying a friend for the time being, and let Dongmei realize it herself.
So the two of them chose a truck that was pulling over, got in quickly, started the engine with ease, stepped on the accelerator, and drove straight to the alley where Kaizi was.
After finally rushing all the way, they arrived at the alley where Kaizi lived. Dongmei looked at Anxin with admiration, her eyes full of little stars.
"Oh my god, An Xin, I never thought being a female truck driver would be so cool."
Just now, Dongmei was sitting in the passenger seat, watching Anxin skillfully start the engine and shift gears, driving the car out. Her movements were so skillful as if they had been honed through thousands of trials and tribulations. A woman driving a large truck, majestically crossing the river, through the city, through the crowded streets, that feeling was simply too good to be true.
It was as handsome as when their village chief was holding a collective meeting, sitting in front of the loud speaker.
It was from this moment that Dongmei developed a sacred yearning to be a truck driver.
She secretly swore in her heart that she would also become a vigorous and confident truck driver, driving a truck all over the country, seeing all kinds of life, and traveling thousands of miles.
Kaizi was sitting in the yard, holding a Zhonghua cigarette in his mouth, basking in the sun elegantly, when he suddenly saw a brand new truck parked in front of him.
He immediately jumped up from his seat and walked around the truck three times. When An Xin jumped down from the driver's seat, Kaizi immediately surrounded her like a dog seeing a bone, and said with envy.
"Oh my, Anxin, your friend is really capable. This truck is all imported, right?"
Why doesn't he have such a friend?
"Um!"
An Xin glanced at the brand new truck next to her and nodded calmly.
Kaizi on the side began to ask questions anxiously.
"An Xin, can you ask your friend to get me one of these cars next time?"
Deep down, this man has a dream of owning a luxury car. Even a fully imported truck is a luxury for a rich man who assembles trucks these days.
Seeing Kaizi's envious saliva almost flowing out, An Xin leaned against Cheng Liang's brand new car and replied slowly.
"Okay, if you make a few hundred thousand first, I'll ask him to get you a few."
Since Kaizi has controlled the provincial capital's taxi industry for such a long time, this guy should have at least 100,000 or 80,000 yuan, right?
By the way, why didn’t she think that this guy was rich? Maybe he was a big boss who was secretly involved in the business. She came to him to borrow some money to buy a truck.
As a result, when Kaizi heard Anxin's words, his face immediately turned dark.
"What? It costs hundreds of thousands to buy a truck, and I don't have the money."
If he had that little spare money, he might as well buy a few cars that are about to be scrapped, modify them, and put them into the taxi market for rental. He could make money faster that way without having to do any work. If he got a truck, he would have to drive it himself, how tiring that would be!
Seeing Kaizi's angry look as if his tail had been stepped on, An Xin couldn't help but secretly shook her head and said slowly.
"If you don't want to spend money but still want to play with cars, then just dream on."
Really, don’t you know that I can only afford these cars because I have a loan of one hundred thousand dollars?
Kaizi: “…”
Well, it seems he is just daydreaming.
Seeing Kaizi was silent for a rare time, Anxin spoke directly.
"By the way, are you free now? I'll take you and drive this new car to find Master Xie, the one you mentioned. Let's ask him to take a good look at whether these cars can have their engines modified."
Kaizi looked up at the sky, then looked away and said thoughtfully.
"At this time, I don't know if Old Xie is here. Okay, let's go over there and try our luck."
The three of them got into the car. Kaizi originally wanted to sit in the middle of the driver's seat, so that there would be beauties on his left and right. He must be the one who was surrounded by beauties on both sides. However, Anxin just honked the truck horn.
“Ding ding…”
A shrill sound suddenly rang out in the cab, scaring Kaizi so much that he almost jumped up. He turned around in confusion and looked at Anxin and asked in confusion.
"An Xin, are you sick? Why are you honking the horn for no reason?"
Really, he was so scared that his heart almost jumped out.
An Xin looked at Kaizi coldly and spoke with unclear meaning.
"Kaizi, what sweet dream are you having? You want to be hugged by girls on both sides, right? Go sit over there quickly, don't scare my friend."
Don't think that he doesn't know Kaizi's little thoughts. Dongmei is such a simple little girl, but he wants to take advantage of her by sitting on her seat. How can he, a veteran, do this?
Kaizi: “…”
An Xin might be the worm in his stomach, as he could see through all her fickle minds. Originally, he thought the girl An Xin brought here was quite innocent, so he planned to sit in the middle. Even if he couldn't hug her on both sides in the actual sense, it would feel good to be in the middle between two beauties.
What a pity, An Xin didn’t give him this opportunity!
So, Kaizi sat in the corner of the cab with a look of despair, while Anxin waved to Dongmei who looked at a loss.
"Dongmei, come over here and sit. Don't sit with these old-timers. Remember, you have to be very thick-skinned when driving a truck in the future, and you also have to develop a cunning and aggressive personality. Otherwise, these bastards will not only take advantage of you in action, but also in their words."
As a truck driver, you are begging for food among men. If you don't have a tough temper, you really can't beat these tough and thick-skinned men.
Kaizi: “…”
He could finally hear that An Xin was secretly scolding truck drivers like them for being thick-skinned, but could he be so thick-skinned? It’s all due to the environment.
I think, if you drive a truck without thick skin, passing through those small villages in the mountains and wilderness, how can you get water to drink without thick skin? Beg for food.
This is Kaizi's idea. The reason why Anxin said this is to let Dongmei know in advance that driving a truck is not only a high-risk job, but also requires thick skin and hard life. Survival in the wild is a must-have skill!
Dongmei lowered her head and remained silent, not knowing whether she understood the meaning of Anxin's words.
Anxin drove the truck and, under Kaizi's guidance, made many turns and finally arrived at a small shop with the words "Xie Family Repair Shop" written on it in brush.
When An Xin got out of the car, she saw that the door of Xie's repair shop was tightly closed. The three of them walked around the repair shop twice, and An Xin spoke with suspicion.
"Kaizi, the repair shop you're talking about isn't this small shop?"
This small shop looks similar to a bicycle repair shop. How can they have the nerve to call it a repair shop?
Kaizi pinched his waist, looked at Anxin with an unfathomable expression, and spoke slowly.
"Don't underestimate this small shop. The second son of the Xie family is a great man! Let me tell you simply, nine out of ten trucks on the provincial capital roads were modified or repaired by the second son of the Xie family's small shop."
Having said that, Kaizi turned around and looked at Anxin, then spoke earnestly.
"As for why the second son of the Xie family still runs such a small shop, I still don't understand."
Because according to the skills and business of the second son of the Xie family, he is considered to be very popular among all the car repairmen in the provincial capital. But why didn't this guy make his business bigger and stronger?
An Xin: “…”
It turns out that what Kaizi said was as good as nothing.
Not wanting to continue talking nonsense with Kaizi, An Xin stepped forward and knocked on the closed door a few times.
Of course, in order to create the impact of knocking on the door, An Xin knocked on the door and shouted loudly outside.
"Master Xie, Master Xie, are you home? Please open the door for me. I have something to talk to you about."
Kaizi stood behind Anxin with a frown on his face, thinking, which ear of yours heard me tell you that Xie Rongfa is an old man?
Still you old? Why don't you just say "you old man"?
It’s true, after An Xin’s persistent knocking and shouting, the door that had been tightly closed actually opened! It’s open!
The moment the door opened, a man with a scruffy beard stood at the door. He looked impatiently at An Xin who was raising her hand to knock on the door, and spoke in a lazy voice.
"Who are you? Why are you knocking on my door in broad daylight?"
An Xin looked speechlessly at the unkempt man in front of her, or to be exact, an unkempt young man, and spoke after a moment's pause.
"Excuse me, are you Master Xie?"
She only now realized that there is a difference between knocking on the door during the day and at night. Can't you knock on the door in broad daylight? Do you have to have a dark and stormy night to come and knock on your door? What is this person thinking?
Of course, since she needed help from someone, An Xin would not argue with this unkempt man.
The unkempt man standing inside scratched his messy hair irritably after hearing An Xin's words, and asked back in an even more impatient voice than before.
"Yes, I am Xie Lao Er, what do you want to talk to me about?"
God knows he had just managed to close the door and take a nap but someone still came and knocked on the door. If he had known this, he would not have slept at home.
Hearing that the other party was the one he was looking for, An Xin looked at the other party calmly before speaking respectfully.
"Oh, so you are Master Xie. I do have something to ask you. I wonder if you have time. Let's have a good chat."
I didn't expect that the young man in front of me turned out to be the legendary Master Xie. He looked unkempt and was nothing like those mysterious-looking mechanics!
This world seems a little mysterious. A person who looks like an intellectual is actually a gangster. A person who looks like a beggar is actually a master car repairman. An Xin thought to himself, if I don’t help someone else, I will help the wall!
But to An Xin's surprise, Xie Rongfa, upon hearing that he wanted to talk to him about something, immediately waved his hand and said,
"Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm going to sleep now and I'm not in the mood to chat with anyone."
After saying that, he was about to close the door. He had to go back to sleep. He had just had a good dream with great difficulty, but it was blasted away by this woman's slam on the door.
He had to go back to sleep and see if he could continue the beautiful dream he had just had.
An Xin looked at the unkempt man in front of her speechlessly, and seemed to understand why this man was known as a car repair expert in the provincial capital, but his repair shop was still just a small shop.
Because he has no ambition, he doesn't want to do business in broad daylight and wants to go back to take a nap. Is this being willful? There is no one else like him.
Unfortunately, at the moment when Xie Laoer was about to close the door, someone moved faster than him. A man's slender fingers tightly grasped the door panel of Xie Laoer's house, preventing him from closing the door.
Realizing that he was being stopped from closing the door, Xie Rongfa subconsciously looked towards the door. The man who was stopping him from closing the door had a rage in his eyes that was about to explode.
"Kaizi, are you looking for trouble? I'm going to take a nap, didn't you hear me?"
This kid often comes to him to modify his car, so he naturally knows Kaizi, but knowing him and having a good relationship with him are two different things, and this is related to the issue of his nap.
If he has a good relationship with this person, then he can give up his nap and listen to them chattering.
It's a pity that he and Kaizi are only business relations and are not that familiar with each other.
But Kaizi was obviously well aware of the character of Xie Rongfa in front of him. With a rogue smile on his face, he retorted fearlessly.
