Chapter 9 The fat guy with the green head
After leaving the county auto repair factory, Yao Yuan walked towards No. 1 Middle School.
In fact, he felt very painful. That was 100 yuan, which was equivalent to half a month's salary for my father. But for the sake of the subsequent operation, he had to do this because he concluded that Director Ye was deliberately making things difficult for him.
"The two people who just entered the office building look a bit like Liu Yitang and Liang Yaoming... It's a bit interesting..." Yao Yuan murmured to himself, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised.
In his previous life, I often heard neighbors gossip about Liu Yitang and the county auto repair factory secretly colluded with the corrupt team's maintenance costs. There was an employee of the factory security department living on the upper floor of Yao Yuan's house. Yao Yuan occasionally heard from him that the monthly maintenance costs of the factory fleet were ridiculously high.
Based on what I saw today, the collusion between Liu Yitang and the county auto repair factory is probably true.
County No. 1 Middle School is Yao Yuan’s alma mater. After graduating from the factory’s primary school, he was admitted to this place, finished junior high school and high school here, and was admitted to Xihai University of Technology.
There were many vendors at the school gate, most of which were selling snacks. He found the beef stall he remembered and sat down, ordered more than a dozen skewers and ate them slowly with chili sauce, but his mind never stopped rotating.
He was not worried that he would not be able to get the 1,000 yuan back, but he was more confident - it won't take long before Director Ye would not only send money to his door, but also give him more.
In fact, Yao Yuan did not take this matter seriously at all. He was thinking about how to make some money by using the V31 brake defect. It can not only save drivers and passengers who may die because of this defect, but also earn Mitsubishi a lot of money.
He is just a college student, and Mitsubishi will definitely not pay attention to it. He has to find a way to get Mitsubishi people to come to him.
"Yao Yuan!"
Just as he was thinking about his thoughts, Yao Yuan turned his head and looked over and was immediately happy.
"Fatty man!"
A fat body moved over, like a young version of Lin Xue, with thick lips hanging there like two sausages.
Lin Wei was sweating profusely and sat down on the stool next to him. The stool made of logs made an overwhelming squeak. Yao Yuan was very worried that it would fall apart.
"Why are you going to work and running out for something?" Yao Yuan pushed Chuan Chuan over and asked the boss to grab it.
Lin Wei swallowed, pinched a bunch of spicy sauce, pinched the orchid and ate it piece by piece, and said vaguely, "All the cars in the fleet need to be repaired. Am I not the evening shift? The captain asked our evening shifters to come first."
Yao Yuan stared at Lin Wei, and his memories emerged.
Yao Yuan was a dull man, weak-hearted and obedient person, especially when he was in the first grade, he was often bullied and everyone made fun of him, but Lin Wei, who was gentle in nature, would block his fat body with his obese body. I remember that once on the way home from self-study, Yao Yuan was beaten by several gangsters. Lin Wei, who usually spoke carefully, rushed over and wrestled with them.
Lin Wei's head was broken, Yao Yuan was fine.
In the last life, Yao Yuan's family suffered great troubles and showed true love in times of trouble. Especially when his mother was involved in a corruption lawsuit, everyone stayed away from Yao Yuan's family, and the only consistent friend was Lin Wei. During the most difficult period, Yao Yuan was full and hungry, and Lin Wei stole the money from his family to send it to school to make food for Yao Yuan. Yao Yuan would never forget it for his life.
Unfortunately, good people were not rewarded. After taking over the driver of the factory's car team, Lin Wei had a good income and was down-to-earth and willing to work hard. Later, he married a girl from the factory. After the sugar factory went bankrupt, he contracted two trucks and started transportation. Those who got up early and worked late soon became a new batch of ten thousand yuan households.
Many times, it took only three or two days to get out of the car, but his wife got together with others, and Lin Wei's head suddenly turned green. Everyone knew about this, but Lin Wei silly raised his son for a few years. Until something happened to his business, his wife took his son with all the money and ran away with the lover.
Lin Wei, who was in his thirties at the time, turned white overnight...
"What are you staring at me?" Lin Wei noticed Yao Yuan's complicated gaze and subconsciously hid back, "Yao Yuan, what do you want to do?"
Yao Yuan slowly came to his senses and said, "Fatty man, I will take you to have delicious food and drink spicy food in this life. I don't have to work during the day and have a young model in the club at night."
Lin Wei looked at Yao Yuan, took out more than 100 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Yao Yuan, and said in a low voice, "I have only been working for three months, and this is all my wealth. You can pay the medical expenses to my aunt. A Yuan, don't worry, the aunt will get better. I will leave at least 100 yuan for you when I get the salary at the end of the month. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you see, you're starting to talk nonsense."
Yao Yuan's nose felt sour, and the fat man Wei was so simple that it was heartbreaking.
He punched Lin Wei in the arm, and Yao Yuan pushed the money back and laughed, "What are you talking about? Do you think you are a person who is short of money?"
"My elder sister is going to get married for money..." Lin Wei almost blurted out, but he knew that Yao Yuan was feeling unpleasant and choked.
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Don't believe it? You don't know if the production line resumes work?"
"I know." Lin Wei said.
Yao Yuan asked again, "Then do you know who repaired the crusher?"
He pointed at himself.
Lin Wei looked at Yao Yuan suspiciously, "You?"
Yao Yuan pointed to a plate of beef skewers and said, "Otherwise, let's see what you eat, two beef skewers for 50 cents!"
Lin Wei's chubby body shook and stared at the skewers. Yes, there are at least thirty or forty strings here, which cost more than ten yuan!
"Ayuan, did you really repair the crusher?" Lin Wei asked again.
Yao Yuan got up and took out four "Four Great Men" to pay the bill, "Hurry up and eat, go with me to do something."
"Ah? Oh."
Lin Wei quickly took out all the skewers, mixed them in the hot sauce, and then poured them into his mouth. The boss was stunned by the way.
"Woooooo..." Lin Wei said vaguely, wiping his mouth.
Yao Yuan saw Lin Wei's head smoking, "Don't you think it's very spicy?"
"hot."
Yao Yuan shook his head helplessly, walked towards the convenience store there, asked for two bottles of frozen mineral water, and handed Lin Wei a bottle. Lin Wei unscrewed it and took a small sip, then carefully twisted it, and hugged the mineral water in his arms like a treasure.
Yao Yuan took a big gulp and stared at the mineral water in his hand to be amazing. The plastic bottles are of poor quality and the taste of the water is OK. They are priced at one dollar. In this era, they are high-end drinks.
Lin Wei always felt that Yao Yuan had become different, but he couldn't say it, and it felt strange. Could it be because he went to college? Maybe it was because he became a state cadre after graduating from college, so it must be different.
Most of the trucks coming and going from National Highway 325 not far away were trucks. From time to time, ox carts were heading towards the city, pulling fruits and vegetables or pulling food. If the past ten years were the exploration stage of reform and opening up, then from 1991 to mid-2008, it was the accelerated takeoff stage of the economy.
Now, the spring breeze has come.
"Ayuan, what are you going to do? I'm going to go back to pick up the car later." Lin Wei said.
Yao Yuan said, "You just said that all the cars in the fleet need to be repaired? I remember that they only had the repair last month?"
"I don't know, the office notified me that I have resumed work. I may be afraid that there will be a malfunction on the road to pull sugarcane in the countryside." Lin Wei shook his head and said.
Yao Yuan asked, "Have you met an acquaintance in the county auto repair shop?"
"Yes, Director Liu is here, and Liang Yaoming is there. Oh, by the way, Liang Yaoming seems to be working there, and I heard what they say." Lin Wei said.
Yao Yuan thought something.
"Come to the Port Authority Bureau with me, go and pick me up at the back door of No. 1 Middle School later." Yao Yuan said.
Lin Wei said, "Ah? That won't work. You don't know that we can't run around. Besides, the car is still under maintenance."
"Do you run?" Yao Yuan asked with his eyes wide open.
He knew that explanations were useless, and the more Lin Wei explained, the more problems Lin Wei had, the more he had. The driver in the fleet did not drive a public car to do his own business. During the holidays, the parking lot was empty and there was nowhere to go. The driver drove home to visit relatives. Lin Wei was so mean and did not take advantage of the public.
"Okay, run, run, but the car is still under maintenance!" Lin Wei gritted his teeth, unable to bear the disappointment of his good brother.
Yao Yuan said, "The maintenance is just like doing it. If you go and get it now, you will definitely let you drive away. Don't be too lazy, go quickly!"
"Then I'm really going. If it doesn't work, don't blame me, A Yuan..."
Yao Yuan glared over.
Lin Wei asked again, "Then what are you doing at the Port Authority?"
"You're fucking talking nonsense!"
Yao Yuan kicked him over, and Lin Wei rubbed his butt and left.
After going around to the back door of No. 1 Middle School, Yao Yuan found the street-facing bungalow in his memory. He remembered that this was the home of an old man who picked up scatters. The reason why he was impressed was that the old man was a silly old man. His home was in a very good location, with more than 500 square meters. It was a good place to build a store, but the old man was reluctant to rent it out.
Yao Yuan plans to try his luck.
The open space behind the bungalow is surrounded by a wall, and a rain cover is built. The garbage and waste inside are neatly coded, mostly paper waste, and No. 1 Middle School is the main source. On the side of the cart, the old man is sorting out a pile of waste paper, most of which are test papers, exercise books, etc. that high school graduates don’t want.
"Hello, grandpa." Yao Yuan pushed the door and walked in with a shaky iron gate.
The old man looked up and stared at him for a long time without saying a word.
Yao Yuan walked over and squatted down, and asked with a smile, "Grandpa, I want to rent your place for a while, it will take three days."
"No rent." The old man didn't raise his head.
Yao Yuan stopped asking and helped sort the scrap. He found that there were many good tutoring books, so he picked them up and put them aside, saying, "This kind of thing that can be sold as a second-hand book is much more cost-effective than selling scrap. Oh, and there are also textbooks. This textbook is the latest version and can be sold to students who are in the third year of high school."
The old man stopped what he was doing and looked at Yao Yuan carefully.
Yao Yuan looked at the old man with a smile, and vaguely felt a trace of sensational gaze.
"In the days when the typhoon was in July, I had a high fever and my lung infection almost gotten my god. Are you the young man who sent me to treat the disease?" the old man asked suddenly.
Yao Yuan smiled, "Grandpa, you still remember."
It was a party that was back to school shortly after the college entrance examination. When a typhoon occurred, Yao Yuan came out of the back door and planned to take the shortcut to go home. When he saw the old man's door clattering in the wind, he found that the old man was lying on the bed and dying. Then he carried the old man all the way to the hospital, saving the old man's life.
The old man suddenly laughed, showed his yellow teeth, pointed his hand at the bungalow, and said, "Whatever you want to put, just leave me a place to sleep."
"Then I'll give you rent for five yuan a day." Yao Yuan took out the money to count.
The old man held Yao Yuan's hand and said, "If you don't rent it, use it if you want it."
"This is not possible."
"Then you go, my place is not for rent." The old man was very determined.
Yao Yuan was not pretentious either, "Okay, thank you grandpa!"
The old man took a bunch of keys from his belt and took out one and threw it to Yao Yuan, "You can use it at any time."
Yao Yuan held the key in his palm and said nothing more.
