Chapter 60: Driving Lesson 1
To get from the town to the county town, one has to go to the bus station. He Chuan and Jiang Dashi hurried and finally got on the bus before the last bus in the afternoon left.
They arrived late and the bus was already packed with people. He Chuan and Jiang Dashi could only find a handrail to stand on all the way to the county town.
The road condition between the town and the county seat was not good, mostly mud and gravel. The cars on the road were shaking violently as if they were in the waves. Mixed with various unpleasant smells in the car, Jiang Dashi felt a little carsick.
After a long wait, Jiang Dashi rushed under the car as if he was running for his life.
After standing by the roadside for a long time and calming down, he said with a sad face and some trepidation: "Brother Chuan, do you think my physical condition is not suitable for driving?" It was not easy to get this opportunity. What if he gets carsick as soon as he drives?
He Chuan also frowned and pondered, "Let's take a look first. This thing can also be practiced. I heard that if you get carsick when riding in a car, you won't get carsick when driving." But he also heard it and didn't know whether it was true or not.
Jiang Dashi cheered up. No matter what, he was already here, so he had to give it a try. Even if he felt carsick, he had to find a way to overcome it.
The two men came to the transport team in the county town. The gatekeeper was a man in his sixties or seventies, wearing a dark gray uniform. When he saw He Chuan and the others approaching, he stopped them and asked, "What are you two doing here?"
"My name is Jiang Dashi, and his name is He Chuan. We are here to look for Master Zhang Weiye, so please let him know." Jiang Dashi said with a smile and then politely handed over a pack of Dagang cigarettes.
The gatekeeper calmly put the cigarette in his pocket, looked at the two of them carefully, and when he felt there was nothing serious, he turned and walked inside. "Wait, I'll go and notify them."
Soon, the gatekeeper came out with a middle-aged man. The man was tall, strong and sturdy, with a rugged face full of traces of time.
"You are the ones looking for me?" the middle-aged man asked, his voice full of energy.
"Yes, yes, we were introduced by Chen Dade." Jiang Dashi replied with a smile.
"Come with me." The middle-aged man glanced at them and said in a deep voice.
He Chuan and Jiang Dashi followed the man into a small, simply furnished office: a rectangular desk, an armchair, and an old bench against the wall. The man pulled out the armchair next to the desk and sat down, not saying a word, but gazing intently at the two of them.
He Chuan and Jiang Dashi were a little confused. Since the man didn't say anything, they didn't dare to sit down.
Jiang Dashi suddenly understood. He took out two Hongtashan cigarettes from his bag and respectfully handed them to the man on the table. He whispered in his ear, "The radio and bicycle have been delivered to your house. Your sister-in-law picked them up personally."
He Chuan also put out the braised meat and pastries prepared by Su Tao on the table, "Master Zhang, this is homemade, please try it and give me your opinion."
Zhang Weiye took a look at it, and at first he looked disgusted, then pinched a piece and put it in his mouth. As he chewed it, he seemed to find the flavor, so he took another piece and ate it. When he came to his senses, he found that Jiang Dashi and He Chuan were looking at him with a smile.
Zhang Weiye cleared his throat twice to hide his embarrassment and said, "I've been busy today and haven't had lunch yet. This pastry is good."
Then he stood up, walked around the two of them twice, and said thoughtfully: "You know what you are here for, right?"
