Chapter 107 Taking Action Upon Hearing the Rumor
At noon, Shen Zhishou appeared in the canteen with Wang Chenggong and other people from the transportation department.
Seeing this, Sha Zhu asked a question out of curiosity.
"From now on, I'll be working in the transportation department!"
Shen Zhishou's words made Shazhuren lose his composure.
If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Sha Zhu would definitely have jumped up. He really wanted to ask Shen Zhishou, "What exactly do you do?"
He quit his job at the grain depot and went to work as a fitter at the steel rolling mill. But after only a few days as a fitter, he was transferred to the transportation department.
and many more!
"Xiao Shen, you're joining the transportation department, not to be a driver, are you?"
Sha Zhu's eyes looked a little strange.
Shen Zhishou nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, I'm preparing to be a driver!"
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu fell completely silent.
A devastating blow!
Seeing Sha Zhu's expression, Shen Zhishou didn't say anything more.
To be honest, Shen Zhishou had never expected that he would be able to get into the transportation department.
In the afternoon, Wang Chenggong taught Shen Zhishou how to repair cars and found that Shen Zhishou learned faster, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, after all, Shen Zhishou had driven tractors before!
In one afternoon, Wang Chenggong taught everything he could!
He even told Shen Zhishou about some of the problems he had encountered while driving over the years.
"Come with me on the trip tomorrow!"
Wang Chenggong made this decision before leaving get off work.
Of course, Shen Zhishou, who is not a driver yet, will not receive a car allowance even if he goes out with Wang Chenggong. He will only receive the allowance once he becomes a driver.
However, Shen Zhishou did not value this much.
What he wants is the freedom to drive a car alone!
This won't be too far!
After get off work, Shen Zhishou strolled around the courtyard house with a delighted expression.
After arriving in this era, everything went incredibly smoothly after he made the decision to move to the city.
If someone had told him beforehand that a porter from a village who came to the city could switch to being a driver, he would have just thought that the person was out of their mind.
But now, all Shen Zhishou wants to say is that this could be true.
In light of today's good fortune, Shen Zhishou made a special detour to the market to buy an old hen of unknown age, which is a great ingredient for making soup.
Although he felt he didn't actually need any supplements, he figured he'd take them if he could.
Men, no matter how healthy they are, need to take care of themselves early on, otherwise they'll regret it when they get older!
Shen Zhishou doesn't want that day to come for him!
When he returned to the courtyard house, he saw Yan Bugui at the gate.
Yan Bugui was incredibly excited when he saw Shen Zhishou!
"Xiao Shen, I heard from Sha Zhu that you're now a driver in the transportation department of the steel rolling mill?"
"Ah, yes, that's right!"
"Where did you get this connection from?"
Yan Bugui was also a little confused. Shen Zhishou's actions were a bit like a monkey picking corn. Was he picking one and then dropping it?
"I have no connections!"
Shen Zhishou smiled. "I performed well at the factory, and I'm strong. Of course, most importantly, I used to drive a tractor back in the village!"
This is clearly a way to fool and appease Yan Bugui.
He was able to become a driver entirely because of the attention of his superiors.
As for why Li Huaide favored him so much, Shen Zhishou neither knew nor cared.
To put it nicely, he's like a brick in the factory, ready to be moved wherever needed.
To put it bluntly, he's just a little karaomi!
"Oh, I see!"
"I knew it! So you became a driver before, huh?"
Yan Bugui felt relieved.
Of course, this sense of relief is more like a helpless self-comfort.
Shen Zhishou stopped chatting with Yan Bugui and carried the old hen into the courtyard.
Yu Li, who was cooking, heard the noise, peeked out, and saw that it was Shen Zhishou returning. She smiled and opened her mouth:
"Wait a moment, the food will be ready soon!"
"No rush!"
Shen Zhishou carried the old hen into the kitchen.
Upon seeing the old hen, Yu Li immediately beamed and exclaimed, "I'll buy one too!"
"ah?!"
Upon hearing Yu Li's words, Shen Zhishou noticed an old hen lying in another corner of the kitchen.
Then, Shen Zhishou smiled.
They really are a couple!
"Let's stew it all!"
Shen Zhishou thought about it for a moment, but didn't say he wanted to keep the other one.
After all, these old hens that are put up for sale are usually no longer laying eggs.
Otherwise, no one would be willing to sell it.
Old hen, also known as the chicken butt bank!
Many families in the village rely on their hens to lay eggs and sell them for money.
These days, eggs are truly a valuable commodity.
In later generations, eggs were in short supply, but in this era, one could only eat one occasionally.
Some people may not even be able to eat an egg for several years.
In that era of scarcity, many things were obtained through robbery.
Many items in the supply and marketing cooperative sell out very quickly after being placed on the shelves.
"Okay, I'll send half of it to Sister Qin later!"
Yu Li laughed immediately.
Shen Zhishou sat next to Yu Li and watched her cook. He then told her about his transfer to the transportation department to work as a driver.
Yu Li was also very surprised to hear this news.
How could you change jobs so easily?
"Didn't you say you were really good at being a fitter? Can you even drive?"
"You clearly lack a clear understanding of your man. My driving skills are absolutely terrible!"
"I used to drive all the tractors in our brigade!"
"Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"
"A true hero doesn't dwell on past glories!"
Shen Zhishou mainly didn't want to talk about it, since his position had been taken by someone with connections, which was why he had come to the city to look for work. It would be somewhat embarrassing to talk about it.
But there's nothing we can do; that's just how the world is.
Nowadays, Shen Zhishou was able to get into the steel rolling mill, Yu Li into the food factory, and Qin Huairu into the garment factory, all because of connections.
Of course, apart from Shen Zhishou's job which didn't cost any money, Yu Li and Qin Huairu's jobs all cost money.
But that's just how the world is.
Some people have money but no connections, and in the end, they end up with nothing.
As the couple chatted, Yu Li finished preparing dinner.
I stewed the leftover braised meat from this morning again with some vegetables, and steamed a pot of steamed buns made from a mixture of two types of dough.
As for the two old hens, we'll deal with them after dinner. Just like with the mutton soup we made before, we'll stew them tonight so we can have chicken noodle soup first thing tomorrow morning.
Halfway through the meal, Qin Huairu came looking for them. She had heard from Sha Zhu that Shen Zhishou had started driving for the transportation department, which was why she came.
"I've heard that driving outside isn't safe; there are a lot of people who rob people!"
Qin Huairu was very worried that something might go wrong with Shen Zhishou, as he was now the pillar of support for the two of them.
"Don't worry, it's fine. Our drivers are all armed when they go out in the car. If necessary, we can just open fire!"
This is not nonsense, but the truth.
If it is important supplies, the security department will also arrange for someone to accompany the vehicle when it is dispatched.
Normally, highway robbers wouldn't stop these big trucks unless they're completely out of their minds.
Besides, they are a steel rolling mill. Their trucks are mainly transporting steel, various materials, blanks, and processed parts. Once these items are stolen, it will be difficult to resell them.
Hearing Shen Zhishou say this, Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Qin, how's it going at the garment factory? Are you settling in well?"
"Yes, that's great. My skills are pretty good; our workshop foreman has praised me several times!"
When Shen Zhishou asked her about her work, Qin Huairu immediately became interested and began to talk at length.
Yu Li was quite clear about these things and could occasionally add her own comments.
This was the first time Shen Zhishou had heard of these things.
"Oh, by the way, Sister Minglan came to our garment factory today!"
Qin Huairu suddenly brought up Wang Minglan, "Do you know what Minglan does for a living? She seems like some kind of high-ranking leader!"
"I really didn't know!"
Wang Minglan did not say what he did, nor did Shen Zhishou ask.
But he shouldn't be some minor figure.
Just the fact that Wang Mingliang can so easily get a job means this family is no ordinary family.
"Sister Qin, no matter what Sister Minglan does, let's just treat each other normally!"
"Besides, we probably don't have many chances to run into each other normally, so it's not really a question of whether we're dating or not!"
Shen Zhishou had no intention of currying favor with anyone.
With the wind direction unclear, he dared not make any rash moves.
Only by ensuring his own safety can he lend a helping hand should any unforeseen circumstances arise in the future.
If we get involved too early, they might take advantage of the situation and deal with this little Karami!
As Shen Zhishou was talking to Yu Li and Qin Huairu, there was another knock on the door of the back room.
Who is it?
Shen Zhishou asked a question.
Liu Haizhong's voice immediately came from outside.
"Little Shen, it's me, Grandpa Shen!"
Liu Haizhong actually found it!
Shen Zhishou immediately put down his chopsticks, went to open the door, and said, "Master Liu, I'm eating right now. Have you eaten yet?"
"I ate it, I ate it!"
Liu Haizhong looked a little embarrassed. It was indeed inappropriate to show up at someone's door during mealtime, and he was getting anxious!
