Chapter 117 The coaches and students all looked at her

Su Taotao was going to the training ground to sign up for driving lessons, and it was inconvenient to take Chen Chen with her, so she let him stay to accompany Fu Yuanhang to learn painting.

"Mr. Tang, Chenchen won't cause any trouble. Just focus on teaching Xiaohang. He can play by himself."

Chen Chen nodded heavily: "Yeah~~ I'm very good~~"

After the child finished speaking, he took out several toys from his small backpack, including large conchs, small spinning tops, chess pieces, and origami.

Smart children will never let themselves get bored.

Su Taotao touched his little head and said, "Be good and play here. Mom will come back to pick you up as soon as possible."

Chen Chen nodded: "It's so delicious~~"

After Su Taotao left, Chenchen suddenly felt as if someone had pulled out the valve core. He hung his head, blinked his big eyes, and looked at his mother's back, reluctant to look away.

Mr. Tang found this very strange, so he asked him, "Chenchen, do you really want to go with your mother?"

Chen Chen nodded: "I want to~~"

Mr. Tang was even more puzzled. Chenchen had just shown that he didn't want to go with his mother at all. "Then why didn't you tell Mom just now?"

Chenchen tilted his head, blinked, and suddenly reached down to pinch his own short legs: "Chenchen said~~ Mommy can take care of me~~ But there is no car~~ Mommy carrying me~~ is very tiring~~"

Fu Yuanhang helped Chenchen translate: "If Chenchen told sister-in-law that he wanted to go with her, or showed that he was unwilling to stay, sister-in-law would take him with her, but he couldn't go far, and sister-in-law would be too tired to carry him. My eldest brother made a cart for Chenchen, and he was usually pushed on the island."

Mr. Tang was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He looked at the two children with increasingly warm eyes. He touched Chen Chen's little head and said, "Good kid."

Mr. Tang made a gesture to Mr. Wu.

After a while, Lao Wu came out of the room with a set of painting supplies.

Mr. Tang took it and handed it to Chen Chen: "This is a gift from Grandpa. If you want to draw, just follow along. If you don't want to draw, go play, or go to the kitchen to see what delicious food Grandpa Wu is making."

Mr. Tang made a "keep an eye on the kid" gesture to Mr. Wu again.

Old Wu nodded and looked at Chen Chen with a loving face.

Chen Chen exclaimed "Wow~~", stretched out his little fleshy hand to take it, touched it and returned it, shaking his head and said: "Only if mom says it's okay~~"

Fu Yuanhang added: "Teacher, my sister-in-law said that we can't just accept things given by others when the adults are not here."

Chenchen has a good memory and can usually remember what Su Taotao said.

Mr. Tang stroked his small white goatee, his expression looking extremely satisfied.

He naturally couldn't explain to a two-year-old child that "gifts from elders cannot be refused", and Chenchen only listened to Su Taotao and wouldn't listen to him, so he had to change the topic and said, "Grandpa is lending it to you. Can you return it to Grandpa later?"

Chen Chen then happily took it: "Okay~~", Chen Chen took his favorite large conch and handed it to Mr. Tang, "The sound of the sea~~I'll lend it to you to play with~~Give it back to me later~~"

Mr. Tang reached out to take it, then burst into laughter. He hadn't been so happy in a long, long time.

Mr. Tang put the conch to his ear and listened carefully, then he bent over and said to Chen Chen, "Grandpa heard it, the sound of the sea."

Then he said to Fu Yuanhang: "Your sister-in-law taught you very well, especially well."

Fu Yuanhang nodded and touched Chen Chen's head: "My sister-in-law is very nice."

Mr. Tang returned the conch to Chen Chen and began to teach formally: "Let's get started. Today is the first day of class. I will teach you first..."

…

Su Taotao took the recommendation letter and the address given by Fu Zhengtu, took two buses, and including the waiting time, it took her a full hour to reach the training ground.

Fortunately, she didn't bring the dust with her, otherwise it would be too much trouble.

The security uncle picked up Su Taotao responsibly and said, "Comrade, who are you looking for? This is a place for driving practice. Don't get close to the fence. We are all newbies. It's very dangerous. Last time, a student mistook the accelerator for the brake and hit the fence, almost hitting someone."

Su Taotao: “…”

Road killers are everywhere, regardless of age.

Su Taotao showed him the recommendation letter and said, "Excuse me, comrade. I'm here to take the driver's license test. Where can I sign up?"

"What?" The security guard thought he had misheard. "What do you want to do?"

"Get a driver's license." Su Taotao said again.

The security guard took it and looked at it suspiciously: "Oh my goodness, it's across the sea. This is the first time your company has recommended female comrades to come here to take the driving test."

The uncle did not make things difficult for Su Taotao. He told her the place and explained the registration process to her.

From then on, every time Su Taotao arrived at a place, she would be questioned and she would have to explain everything again. By the time she successfully registered, her throat was smoking.

The training ground does not rest on weekends. Today, several people came to sign up one after another, but Su Taotao was the only female comrade.

There are very few female comrades who come to take driving tests these days. Fortunately, Su Taotao covered her face with a headscarf in advance, which reduced some of the stares. Otherwise, she would have been looked at like a monkey by everyone.

She originally thought that it would be easy for a 21st century driver like her to get a driver's license in the 1970s. However, it was not as easy as she imagined. Before getting in the car for actual practice, the instructor first taught her theoretical knowledge and introduced the various parts of the car. She also had to practice on a simulated steering wheel and even practice stepping on the foot brake.

The most difficult part was the test car. Su Taotao was amazed when she saw the military green old Liberation with its domineering side exposed. Although its operation might not be much different from the manual gearshift cars of the 21st century, and its design was even simpler and more generous, such a big old car would be frightening to most female comrades when they saw it on the street, let alone learning how to drive it.

Fortunately, Aunt Zhong and Xia Zhiqiu didn't come, otherwise they would have been scared away.

Those who had things to do had all left by then. It was not easy for Su Taotao to come out, and she didn't want to waste time. She followed the coach for more than an hour to learn theory and simulate steering and braking. It was already noon, so she had lunch in the cafeteria of the training ground.

Su Taotao was the only lesbian in the whole place. She just asked for a steamed bun, hid in a corner, covered herself with a headscarf, and ate a few bites with some salted vegetables.

Afterwards, drink water like crazy to prevent heat stroke.

It was too hot to take a lunch break, so we all went to the training ground under the scorching sun.

The coach jumped on the co-pilot seat first and asked the trainees below: "Who among you wants to come up and try it out? Feel it?"

The men present looked at each other, but no one dared to respond for a long time. This was the first time for them to meet each other, and some of them had never even met each other before. How could they dare to do that? If something got damaged, no one could afford to pay for it.

"Let me do it." said Su Taotao.

All of a sudden, the coaches and students looked at her.
