Siheyuan: Starting to work in the security department

I have to say that the current company benefits are still very good.

The steel rolling mill can indeed provide moving services as Xu Damao said.

Niu Ping'an was overjoyed and quickly submitted his application to the Transportation Department according to the procedures.

The movers do not need help from the factory, they just need to provide the car and the driver.

In a week, Niu Pingan and Qin Jingru packed all the luggage that needed to be moved.

On Sunday, Yang Yongjun from the Transportation Department drove to the alley entrance as scheduled.

Nanluoguxiang is quite narrow and trucks cannot drive in at all.

Yang Yongjun followed the address to the yard and found Niu Ping'an.

"My car has arrived.

But the alley is too narrow to get in, so I can only park at the entrance."

"Master Yang, thank you for your hard work!"

Niu Ping'an took out two packs of cigarettes and stuffed them into Yang Yongjun's pockets, thanking him.

"It's not that hard, it's all a task assigned by the organization!

Are there a lot of things?

Do you want a hand?"

Yang Yongjun took the cigarette naturally, put it in his trouser pocket, and said politely.

"It's not a lot of stuff, but it's quite mixed. I have to run back and forth a few times. I'm sorry to bother you to wait a little longer."

Niu Ping'an didn't dare to trouble others. After all, driving is a physical job nowadays.

The three treasures of this era are: doctors, drivers, and pork sellers.

There were no driving schools in the 70s. People in local areas had to learn by driving the cars of their work units. The army had special car training teams. In short, driving was very popular.

If you want to get a driver's license, you must have a vehicle registration book and a letter of introduction from your employer. In addition, the vehicle registration allows two people in one car and three people in two cars. If you exceed the limit, you are not allowed to report it. This is a hard rule, and you cannot do it even if you find someone else.

In the early 70s, units would usually temporarily allocate a vehicle as a training vehicle to train drivers for the unit or for affiliated units. The mechanic would teach the theory lessons, and only examiners from the transportation department would come to take the exams.

The annual inspection is also conducted by the unit. If the vehicle has no traffic accidents within one year, it will generally pass the inspection.

When driving, bring platinum, splitter, high-voltage package, fuel pump, belt, and if you drive more than 100 kilometers, bring fire repair glue.

It would be very troublesome if you don’t know how to repair a car. The exam includes questions on car repair and practical operation of repairing a car.

A driver must not only be able to drive, but also be able to repair simple vehicle failures to be a real driver.

If you can drive, you can repair it. If the tire is flat, you can fix it yourself, replace it yourself, and fix all minor problems yourself.

Being a car driver is indeed quite enviable. It is very convenient for anyone who wants to go out and take a car to pick up some things. It is indeed a good job and it also has a certain social status.

Drivers in the 1970s and 1980s married doctors, teachers, bank or unit administrators, most of whom were the top three beauties in their enterprises and institutions.

"Okay, take your time, I'm not in a hurry."

Yang Yongjun was just being polite, and he would definitely not be willing to take action if he was really asked to do so.

After notifying Niu Ping'an, Yang Yongjun walked out of the yard leisurely.

"Brother Ping An, have you packed everything?"

Xu Damao had promised to help Niu Ping'an move last time, so he did not go out for fun today.

"Brother Damao, it's all done.

The truck from the factory couldn’t drive in, so it was parked at the entrance of the alley. It’s a bit far.”

Niu Ping'an was not polite to Xu Damao.

But I won't treat him unfairly when the time comes.

"That's a bit troublesome. How about calling on the neighbors for help?"

When Xu Damao heard that they had to walk for a distance, he immediately wanted to drag the neighbors into it as well.

At least I can run less and spend less energy.

"Forget it. We don't need to move any furniture or anything. We don't have any heavy luggage. We just have to make a few more trips."

Niu Ping'an didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so he refused directly.

He also knew what Xu Damao was worried about and gave him a reassurance.

"It's fine as long as there's nothing heavy. I'll go get Haitang to come over and help."

When Xu Damao heard that there was no heavy object, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ok!"

Niu Ping'an agreed without thinking.

With Yu Haitang's joining, we can also save some time.

Soon, the group became busy.

Even the three children contributed their bit.

There is no need to move furniture, so it is actually quite easy.

There are just too many things and they are too messy to pack and difficult to move.

"Ping An, are you moving?"

Liu Haizhong walked out of the house with his hands behind his back and asked curiously.

"Yes, Uncle Liu, I'm going to move to another place."

Niu Pingan replied.

"Then let me lend you a hand."

Liu Haizhong didn't care where Niu Ping'an's family moved to, and he didn't even care what to do with the house in Niu Ping'an's yard.

Just a polite remark.

"Don't!

Uncle Liu, thank you in advance.

You are so old, if you get tired, I will be guilty!"

Liu Haizhong is not young anymore, and Niu Ping'an doesn't dare to trouble him.

If anything goes wrong, it would be bad if the Liu family blackmails us.

"Okay, I'm going for a walk then!"

Liu Haizhong was just being polite. Since Niu Ping'an refused, he didn't take it to heart.

The actions of Niu Ping'an's family naturally attracted the attention of people in the courtyard.

Everyone also knew that Niu had moved out of the yard safely.

Some enthusiastic neighbors also lent a hand.

Niu Ping'an couldn't refuse, but he gave a cigarette to the neighbors who helped.

It wouldn't be considered as their efforts were in vain.

There is strength in numbers, and soon all the luggage was loaded onto the truck.

"Dad, I want to ride in a truck!"

Children are always curious about new things.

Niu Wenxin insisted on riding in the truck.

"I want it too! I want it too!"

The elder sister took the lead, and the two sons followed suit.

"Then let's take the truck to our new home in a bit!"

Since the children were interested, Niu Ping'an didn't want to disappoint them.

It's just a burst of novelty.

The space in the truck bed is quite large, which is more than enough to put two more bicycles.

"Brother Damao, are you going to go there together by car or by bike?"

Niu Ping'an asked Xu Damao and his wife again.

"Let's ride over there!"

Xu Damao said casually.

"OK!

See you over there!"

Thinking that Xu Damao had other plans in the afternoon, Niu Ping'an didn't force him.

This side of the courtyard can directly reach the gate of the courtyard, making it more convenient to move.

After unloading all the luggage from the car, Niu Ping'an invited Yang Yongjun:

"Master Yang, come down and sit down. Let's have lunch together."

Although Yang Yongjun came to help because of the factory's arrangement.

But Niu Ping'an didn't dare to neglect others.

"Niu Ping'an, you're welcome, I still have things to do!"

Thanks to the help of neighbors, the moving process went quite smoothly.

It was just past nine in the morning when we arrived at the courtyard, so it was still early for lunch.

Yang Yongjun couldn't wait that long and had to refuse.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

Since Yang Yongjun refused, Niu Pingan did not force him.

An old driver like Yang Yongjun is not someone who lacks this meal.

"Okay, you're busy!"

Yang Yongjun responded, started the truck and drove away in a hurry.
