Chapter 58: Driving a Truck
"Come out for dinner." Su Tao shouted to He Chuan in the room.
He Chuan sat at the table and looked down at the bowls piled up like a mountain. Su Tao was still stuffing food into the bowls, mostly chicken livers, chicken kidneys, and chicken offal.
He Chuan's eyelids twitched as he watched. He rubbed his forehead and raised his hand to block it: "Enough, that's enough."
Su Tao then withdrew his hand awkwardly and said softly, "Come on, then you should eat more."
He Chuan picked up a chicken leg and placed it in Su Tao's bowl, whispering, "Eat more too. I have something to tell you after dinner."
The man's face was a little solemn. Su Tao was unsure. There was something that couldn't be said now. It had to be said after dinner.
Seeing the man keeping silent and concentrating on eating, Su Tao didn't ask any more questions and just told him to talk about it after dinner.
After dinner, He Yanzhi knew that her brother and sister Taotao had something to say, so she took the initiative to clean up the dishes and take them to the kitchen to wash.
Su Tao sat on the bench without moving, looking at He Chuan with some trepidation, and asked in a trembling voice: "Did something happen?"
Su Tao asked, thinking back, "Nothing major has happened recently. I just had a physical examination and there's nothing serious."
He Chuan looked at Su Tao, who was ready for battle, and chuckled, "It's nothing big, I just plan to drive a truck."
"Driving a truck?" The news was so sudden that Su Tao was at a loss for a moment.
"Yes, I drive a truck to help others transport goods." The man explained.
"Why do you suddenly want to drive a truck? Didn't you plan to do business with Jiang Dashi?" Su Tao turned to look at He Chuan and asked in confusion.
"Well, driving a truck was something Jiang Dashi found, and we drove together," He Chuan explained honestly. These days, being able to drive a truck is a very prestigious job, and people who know how to drive will respectfully address you as "Master." Jiang Dashi had to use a lot of connections and spend a lot of money to get these two spots.
"Driving a truck to earn money." He wanted to give her a good life, so he had to fight for it.
"I know driving is more profitable than farming, but you don't necessarily have to drive a truck to make money." Back then, asphalt roads weren't common. It was mostly mountain roads, dirt roads, and sandy roads, requiring no less skill than today. There were no freeways, so driving between places took a long time. Night driving was common, and the roads were poor and lacked streetlights, making it incredibly dangerous. Su Tao was a little worried.
He Chuan saw Su Tao's worried look, and his heart was indeed sweet. He comforted him, "Don't worry, I can handle it."
It's true that you don't need to drive to make money, but if you want to make a lot of money, for him at the moment, driving a truck is a must. If he and Jiang Dashi continue to do business as before, that is, reselling small items and grains, the prices are low and the profit margin is small.
If it were in the past, it would be fine for him to earn money slowly, but now that he has Su Tao, he hopes to let her live a comfortable life as soon as possible.
But driving a truck is different. Besides earning a salary, they can also travel extensively. Freight is now a one-way flow, hauling supplies to customers in the area of purchase, and returning empty. While delivering goods, they can also purchase the latest and most fashionable items from other areas. They can also acquire larger items like bicycles, radios, and sewing machines and resell them. They can make a killing with just one trip.
