Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

One monk carried water to drink, two monks carried water to drink, and three monks had no water to drink.

In the end, Wang Hongtao failed to realize his long-cherished wish of playing Landlord, but he believed that this was only temporary.

If I wasn't afraid of attracting other people's attention...

hey-hey..

Just follow the instructions and you can get these two White Rabbits!

After forcing a grain of White Rabbit into the two men's mouths, Wang Hongtao trudged back to the steel mill.

I think it’s best to ride a bicycle slowly, just as a workout.

It only took Wang Hongtao more than a month to go from being a poor country man to being a full-time driver for his leader.

Now I have a house, a radio, a watch, and a new quilt that’s about to come in. Wouldn’t it be too eye-catching if I added a bicycle?

This is an era where the poor are right, and an era where the problem is not scarcity but inequality. It is better not to attract too much attention.

……

Because he didn't play the mini-game, when Wang Hongtao returned to the steel mill it was not yet time for lunch, so he went to report to Li Huaide.

"How's the matter going?" Li Huaide asked with concern.

These days, She Lijuan has made Li Huaide very angry because of her work troubles.

Well, at least that's what he thought.

Wang Hongtao sat down opposite him with a big sword and said, "Need I say more? The aunt has already been dealt with, the rest depends on the uncle."

After thinking for a while, Wang Hongtao added, "Actually, I'm only worried about Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai has the final say on all matters concerning the Yi family, and a lady like you can't influence that much."

Li Huaide frowned: "So what do you mean...?"

"If Yi Zhonghai refuses to give in, I may have to trouble Director Li to help put pressure on him."

As I said, although it is difficult to find a child with the same conditions as this brother and sister, it is not impossible. Yi Zhonghai probably has his own ideas for not adopting a child for so many years.

If that happens, things will be different.

Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit. What's more, it's better to accumulate more strength than Yi Zhonghai.

Li Huaide nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. Just tell me how you need my cooperation."

"Just one thing, I have to do it beautifully so that my wife can be satisfied!"

Wang Hongtao's heart trembled, and he gave an ambiguous reply: "Director Li, don't worry."

After saying that, he left the factory director's office.

When I went down to the second floor, I saw Xu Damao walking towards his office, so I greeted him:

"Brother Damao!"

"Hey, Lao Wang!"

"Come and sit in my office for a while. I'll make you a cup of tea." Xu Damao greeted Wang Hongtao when he saw that he was very enthusiastic.

Wang Hongtao smiled and walked over.

"Just came out from the leader?" Xu Damao asked while making tea.

Wang Hongtao took out the box of cigarettes, handed one to Xu Damao, and lit it with a lighter: "Yes, I'm helping the leader with some work outside, and I'm going back to report."

"You're great, kid. You even have a cigarette and a lighter. It's not cheap, right?" Xu Damao handed over a cup of hot tea and said with a smile.

Most people in this era used matches, and only a few people of status used lighters.

"Brother Damao, you are joking. I am just a new employee. How can I afford this?"

"This is all given by my boss because he sees that I work hard."

Xu Damao took a deep puff from his lighter and blew out a smoke ring. Then he gave a thumbs up and said enviously: "Brother, I admire you for this. No matter who you are with, as long as you want, you can get along well with them. You can be close to them."

Speaking of this, Xu Damao really admires him. It is rare for Wang Hongtao to become the factory director's driver as a rural man. What's more, he also took advantage of this to bring his younger brother into the factory to do such a scarce job as a security guard.

Looking at himself, he also tried to curry favor with the leaders on a daily basis, but no matter how he did it, even if he was fawning, groveling, and drinking until he lost his memory.

When it comes to promotion or distributing benefits, the leader will still choose to forget about me.

Moreover, Lao Wang not only gets along well with his superiors, but also gets along well with the veteran drivers in the transportation department. Xu Damao has seen Lao Wang traveling arm in arm with those veteran drivers who look down on others more than once.

A shrewd man like Xu Damao can naturally see that those who are pretending to be brothers are actually true friends with deep friendship, and those old drivers are not willing to pretend to be friends with others.

If someone is on good terms with you, it means he truly regards you as a brother. If he dislikes you, he won’t even bother pretending.

The drivers from the transport department are very arrogant. When they get angry, they won't give face to anyone.

It was precisely because of this that Xu Damao was both puzzled and had to admit defeat. He thought he was a pretty good person, so how come no one was as good as Lao Wang in his dealings with others?

"Brother Damao, you are joking. We have been living in poverty since we were young, so shouldn't we be humble and flattered?"

"Look at how good your conditions are, Brother Damao. You don't have to worry about food and drink. Why do you need to flatter me like a peasant..."

Xu Damao thought to himself, I haven’t seen you begging for anything or anything, and you act even more arrogantly than I do, so why would I fall for your tricks?

Since Wang Hongtao had said so much, Xu Damao naturally couldn't take it seriously, otherwise he would lose all his face.

"How about trying this tea? I begged Ezi for a long time before she got it back home. It's authentic West Lake Longjing tea. I usually don't even want to drink it myself, so I took it out just because you came over today."

After all, he is a man, and Xu Damao felt ashamed and wanted to save his face elsewhere.

Taking the teacup and looking at it carefully, the tea leaves are flat, smooth and straight, with a light green and shiny color, a fresh and noble aroma, a refreshing and mellow taste, and the leaves are tender and flower-like.

Wang Hongtao had bought the so-called West Lake Longjing tea in his previous life. He didn’t know whether it was authentic or not, but that’s what Qingqing, the tea seller, said.

She told Wang Hongtao that she and her grandfather were the only ones left in her family, and that she picked and roasted the tea herself. Her grandfather said she couldn't sell it, but she didn't believe it.

I no longer remember what we talked about later, but the end result was that Wang Hongtao spent 600 yuan to buy two kilograms of so-called West Lake Longjing tea.

Comparing the fragrant West Lake Longjing tea in front of him, Wang Hongtao felt that he was probably deceived at the beginning. However, being deceived by such a pure girl, Lao Wang felt that he could accept it.

Take a breath and take a sip of tea, and you will feel the refreshing fragrance.

"Mao, this tea tastes really good, no wonder you cherish it so much."

Seeing that Lao Wang appreciated his kindness, Xu Damao felt that his efforts were not in vain. "Isn't it? You are the one who doesn't hide anything from your brothers. You share everything you have with them. I think you are being treated well, right?"

"That's right, Brother Damao is really good to his brothers, I recognize this brotherly love!"

……

The rest of the morning was spent with the two of them joking around. After finishing a cup of tea, I looked at the time and it was already half past eleven.

Wang Hongtao called out, "Let's go to the cafeteria to eat!"

Xu Damao: "Well, wait a minute. I have to hold my pee and then go to the cafeteria."

"Then let's go together. I also need to go to the toilet."
