After leaving the county auto repair shop, Yao Yuan walked towards No. 1 Middle School.
In fact, it was very painful for him. It was a hundred yuan, equivalent to half a month's salary of his father. But for the sake of subsequent operations, he had to do it because he concluded that Director Ye was deliberately making things difficult for him.
"The two people who entered the office building just now look a bit like Liu Yitang and Liang Yaoming...a bit interesting..." Yao Yuan murmured to himself in a low voice, slowly raising the corners of his mouth.
In my previous life, I could often hear gossip from neighbors, saying that Liu Yitang secretly colluded with the county auto repair shop to embezzle maintenance fees for the fleet. There was an employee of the factory security department who lived above Yao Yuan's house, and Yao Yuan occasionally heard from him that everyone in the factory's fleet
The monthly maintenance costs are ridiculously high.
Based on what we have seen today, it is 80% true that Liu Yitang colluded with the county auto repair shop.
County No. 1 Middle School is Yao Yuan's alma mater. After graduating from Factory Primary School, he was admitted here, completed 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 them selling snacks. He found the beef offal stall he remembered and sat down. He ordered a dozen skewers, boiled them, dipped them in chili sauce and ate them slowly, his mind never stopping.
He was not worried that he would not be able to get back the one thousand yuan, but was rather certain that soon Director Ye would not only deliver the money to his door in person, but also give more.
In fact, Yao Yuan didn't take this matter to heart at all. What he was thinking about was how to make a lot of money by taking advantage of the V31 brake defect. It could not only save the drivers and passengers who might die because of this defect, but also
Make a lot of money from Mitsubishi.
He is just a college student, so Mitsubishi Company will definitely ignore him. He has to find a way to get people from Mitsubishi Company to come to him.
"Yao Yuan!"
Just as he was thinking about something, he heard someone shouting. Yao Yuan turned his head and looked over, suddenly happy.
"Fat guy Wei!"
A fat body moved over, resembling a smaller and younger 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 nailed logs made an overwhelming squeaking sound. Yao Yuan was worried that it would fall apart.
"Why are you running out when you don't go to work?" Yao Yuan pushed the strings over and asked the boss to grab a handful.
Lin Wei swallowed his saliva, took a skewer and dipped it in hot sauce. He held his orchid fingers and ate them one by one. He said vaguely, "All the cars in the team need to be inspected. Don't I work the night shift? The captain asked us to stay late."
The class guys come here first."
Yao Yuan stared at Lin Wei, and memories emerged.
In his previous life, Yao Yuan was a boring gourd, weak-tempered, and submissive. Especially when he went to No. 1 Middle School, he was often bullied. Everyone made fun of him, except Lin Wei. Lin Wei, who had a gentle temper, would use his fat body to block the front. Remember
One time, on his way home from self-study, Yao Yuan was beaten by a few gangsters. Lin Wei, who usually spoke carefully, rushed over and started to fight with them.
Lin Wei's head was broken, but Yao Yuan was fine.
In the last life, Yao Yuan's family suffered from disasters one after another, and a friend in need is a friend indeed. Especially when his mother was involved in a corruption case, everyone kept a distance from the Yao Yuan family. The only consistent friend was Lin Wei. During the most difficult period, Yao Yuan suffered a lot.
After a hungry meal, Lin Wei stole family money and sent it to school to pay for Yao Yuan's food. Yao Yuan will never forget it.
It's a pity that good people are not rewarded. After taking over as the driver of the factory's truck team from his father's class, Lin Wei earned a good income and was down-to-earth and hard-working. Later he married a girl from the factory. After the sugar factory went bankrupt, he contracted two trucks to run.
Those who started working on transportation and worked hard from early to late in the morning soon became a new batch of households worth ten thousand yuan.
Many times, it would only take three or two days after getting out of the car. As a result, his wife got involved with someone else, and Lin Wei's head suddenly turned green. Everyone knew about this, but Lin Wei foolishly raised his son for several years, until he
Something went wrong with the business, and the wife took all the money with her son and ran away with her mistress.
Lin Wei, who was already in his thirties at the time, turned gray overnight...
"What are you staring at me for?" Lin Wei noticed Yao Yuan's complicated gaze and subconsciously ducked back, "Yao Yuan, what do you want to do in such a stupid way?"
Yao Yuan slowly came back to his senses and said, "Fat man, in this life I will take you to eat and drink. You don't have to work during the day and you will be a young model in the club at night."
Lin Wei looked at Yao Yuan, took out more than a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Yao Yuan, saying in a low voice, "I have only been working for three months, and this is all I have. You can use it to pay for aunt's medical expenses. Ayuan,
Don't worry, Auntie will get better. I'll leave at least 100 yuan for you when your salary is paid at the end of the month. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Look, you're starting to talk nonsense."
Yao Yuan's nose felt sour, Fat Man Wei is so simple and heartbreaking.
Punching Lin Wei on the upper arm, Yao Yuan pushed the money back and laughed loudly, "What nonsense, do you look like someone who is short of money?"
"Eldest sister is going to get married because of money..." Lin Wei almost blurted out, but he knew that Yao Yuan felt uncomfortable and choked up.
Yao Yuan smiled and said, "Don't believe it? You didn't know that the production line has resumed 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 full of beef offal skewers and said, "Otherwise, look at what you are eating, two skewers of beef offal cost 50 cents!"
Lin Wei's chubby body trembled and he stared at the beef offal skewers. Yes, there are at least thirty or forty skewers here, which costs more than ten yuan!
"Ayuan, did you really repair the crusher?" Lin Wei asked again.
Yao Yuan stood up and took out four "Four Great Men" cards to pay, "Eat quickly and follow me to do some errands."
"Ah? Oh."
Lin Wei quickly took out all the skewers, mixed them with hot sauce, and then poured them directly into his mouth. The boss was dumbfounded by the way he swallowed them whole.
"Uh-huh..." Lin Wei said vaguely, wiping his mouth.
Yao Yuan saw Lin Wei's head smoking, "Don't you think it's spicy?"
"hot."
Yao Yuan shook his head helplessly, walked towards the canteen over there, ordered two bottles of frozen mineral water, and handed one to Lin Wei. Lin Wei unscrewed it and took a sip carefully, then carefully screwed it on, holding the mineral water like a treasure.
Just like holding him in his arms.
Yao Yuan took a big sip and stared at the mineral water in his hand. The quality of the plastic bottle was poor, but the taste of the water was okay. The price was one yuan, which was considered a high-end drink in this era.
Lin Wei always felt that Yao Yuan had become different, but he couldn't put his finger on it. It felt weird. Is it because he went to college? Maybe it was because he became a national cadre after graduating from college. It must be different.
Not far away, there are cars coming and going on National Highway 325, mostly trucks. From time to time, there are ox carts heading towards the city, pulling fruits and vegetables or grain. If the past ten years have been the exploratory stage of reform and opening up, then starting from 1991
The seventeen years until mid-2008 were the period of accelerated economic take-off.
Now, the spring breeze has arrived.
"Ayuan, what are you going to do? I'm going back to pick up the car later." Lin Wei said.
Yao Yuan said, "Why did you just say that all the cars in the team need to be inspected? I remember they were inspected just last month, right?"
"I don't know, the office informed me that work has resumed. Maybe I'm afraid something might break down on the way to the countryside to haul sugar cane." Lin Wei shook his head and said.
Yao Yuan asked, "Have you seen anyone you know at the county auto repair shop?"
"Yes, Director Liu is here, as well as Liang Yaoming. Oh, by the way, Liang Yaoming seems to be working there, I heard what they said." Lin Wei said.
Yao Yuan was thoughtful.
"Follow me to the port authority, and you go pick up the car. You'll pick me up at the back gate of No. 1 Middle School in a while," Yao Yuan said.
Lin Wei said, "Ah? That won't work. It's not like you don't know that we can't run around. Besides, the car is still under maintenance."
"Run or not?" Yao Yuan asked, eyes wide.
He knew that explanations were useless. The more he explained, the more problems Lin Wei had. Which driver in the team did not drive a public car to do his own thing? The parking lot was empty during the holidays. Where were they all? The driver drove home to visit relatives.
.Only Lin Wei is so stubborn that he doesn’t want to take advantage of the public.
"Okay then, run, run, but the car is still under maintenance!" Lin Wei gritted his teeth and couldn't bear to let his good brother down.
Yao Yuan said, "The maintenance is just a show. If you go to pick it up now, you will definitely be allowed to drive away. Don't wait and go quickly!"
"Then I really went. If it doesn't work, don't blame me, Ayuan..."
Yao Yuan glared over.
Lin Wei asked again, "Then what are you doing at the Port Authority?"
"Keep fucking nagging you!"
Yao Yuan kicked him, and Lin Wei rubbed his butt and walked away.
After going around to the back door of No. 1 Middle School, Yao Yuan found the bungalow facing the street in his memory. He remembered that this was the home of an old man who scavenged. The reason why he was impressed was because the old man was a silly old man. The location of his house was quite good, with more than 500 houses.
It is large in square footage and is a good place for a store, but the old man is unwilling to rent it out.
Yao Yuan planned to try his luck.
The open space behind the bungalow is surrounded by a wall and a shelter has been set up. The garbage and waste inside are neatly arranged, most of which are paper waste. No. 1 Middle School is the main source. Next to the cart, the old man is sorting out a pile of waste paper.
Most of them are test papers, exercise books, etc. that are not required by high school graduates.
"Hello, grandpa." Yao Yuan pushed open the shaky iron door and walked in.
The old man raised his eyes and looked over, staring for a long time without saying a word.
Yao Yuan walked over and knelt down and asked with a smile, "Grandpa, I want to rent your place for three days."
"No rent." The old man didn't even raise his head.
Yao Yuan stopped asking and helped sort the scraps. He found a lot of guidance books in good condition. He picked them out and put them aside, saying, "These can be sold as second-hand books, which are much more cost-effective than selling scraps."
Oh, and there are also textbooks. This textbook is the latest version and can be sold to students in their third year of study."
The old man stopped what he was doing and looked at Yao Yuan carefully.
Yao Yuan looked at the old man with a smile, vaguely feeling a breathtaking gaze.
"During the days of the typhoon in July, I had a high fever and a lung infection that almost killed me. Are you the young man who sent me for treatment?" the old man suddenly asked.
Yao Yuan smiled, "Grandpa, you still remember."
It was a party back to school shortly after the college entrance examination. There was a typhoon. Yao Yuan came out of the back door and planned to take a shortcut home. He saw the door of the old man's house rattling in the wind and was not closed. Out of curiosity, he found that the old man was lying on the bed dying, and then he carried
The old man ran all the way to the hospital and saved his life.
The old man suddenly smiled, showed his yellow teeth, pointed at the bungalow, and said, "You can put whatever you want there, just leave me a place to sleep."
"Then I'll pay you five yuan a day for rent." Yao Yuan took out the money and counted it.
The old man pressed Yao Yuan's hand and said, "I won't rent it, but you can use it if you want."
"This is not okay."
"Then you go, I won't rent out my place." The old man was very determined.
Yao Yuan was not pretentious, "Okay, thank you, grandpa!"
The old man took out a bunch of keys from his belt and threw one to Yao Yuan, "You can use it at any time."
Yao Yuan held the key in his hand and said nothing more.
