Chapter 75 Acquisition
As soon as He Chuan left, Su Tao returned to his lonely life. Every day he would go to the temple to do the accounts, make some delicious food for the little girl, and pay attention to the little girl's condition.
After taking the medicine, He Yanzhi's condition stabilized significantly, and she hadn't experienced any flare-ups in a while. Su Tao told her not to relax and to keep the spray with her at all times, ready to use immediately if a flare-up occurred. After all, she also had to go to the hospital and couldn't be with the girl constantly, so she had to bring the insurance with her.
Ever since Su Tao knew what Hu Xiao was thinking during the Chinese New Year, he hadn't been busy during this period. He would go to Hu Xiao to chat whenever he had time, or invite her to his house for dinner. It would be more lively with more people, so that she and Yanzhi wouldn't have to eat alone and feel lonely. More people eating meant more pairs of chopsticks. Hu Xiao would also bring some vegetables and fruits every time she came.
-------------------------------------
It was already the day since He Chuan had set out, and Jiang Dashi was currently in charge of the mission.
At that time, driving would not be like driving in later generations, where one could put one hand on the steering wheel and look at something else while driving.
The steering wheel, brake pedal, and clutch pedal on older Jiefang trucks are all unpowered. Turning and U-turning while driving require manual effort. Even on straight roads, you have to constantly grip the steering wheel. The steering wheel feels incredibly heavy, making turning and holding it steady incredibly strenuous. Sometimes, a sharp turn can leave the driver sweating profusely.
So if you don't have enough strength, you can't do this job. Imagine that your hands become numb when you drive a car, how can you drive the car behind you?
Jiang Dashi was driving when the car suddenly stalled with a click. What should he do?
"You stay in the car, I'll go down and take a look." After saying that, He Chuan picked up the tool box and got out of the car.
He Chuan opened the hood, took some tools, and after some hammering and banging, closed it. He then picked up the crank and started cranking the truck. There was no other way, as trucks at that time were like this, if they stalled, they had to start again.
The engine started up, and Jiang Dashi shouted excitedly, "All right, all right!" They'd been out for just one day, and the car had already broken down twice. No wonder they had to learn how to repair it as part of their driving lessons. They'd been puzzled by that.
He Chuan sat in the passenger seat of the cab, and the vehicle was finally able to continue on its way.
Fortunately, the next two days went smoothly, and there were no more problems along the way. They finally opened the Shanghai tower factory, handed over the goods to the relevant personnel, and processed the handover certificate. He Chuan and Jiang Dashi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your hard work, Zhi. We have a dormitory here. You can rest for a day or two and then come back." The contact person from the tower factory said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you for your help. It's a rare opportunity for us to come to Shanghai, so we plan to go shopping." Jiang Dashi replied happily.
He Chuan and Jiang Dashi ate lunch in the tower factory cafeteria and then headed straight for the black market in Shanghai. Jiang Dashi had come here before by train and was familiar with the route. He was traveling alone, and since he was traveling by bus and train, he couldn't bring much with him. He only bought a few small items and two bicycles and returned. After deducting travel expenses, he actually made some money, but it wasn't much.
He Chuan and Jiang Dashi disguised themselves to cover up their identities. They both wore Lei Feng hats, gauze masks on their faces, and wrapped themselves in large scarves, revealing only their eyes.
He Chuan followed Jiang Dashi through many twists and turns and finally arrived at another hidden alley. The roads in the alley were also densely packed and crisscrossed. Only this kind of environment was suitable for the development of the black market.
Jiang Dashi came to a house and knocked gently on the door. There was no answer for a long time. Just when He Chuan thought that the person might not be at home, a voice came from inside and asked, "Do you have a bosom friend in this country?"
Jiang Dashi immediately replied: "I'll wait for you here."
