Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

After resting for a night in the guesthouse, Wang Hongtao drove to Li Huaide's house early the next day.

"Good morning, Hongtao!"

"I've been here for a while."

When Li Huaide went out and saw that Wang Hongtao was already in place, he was even more satisfied with him.

"Not long ago, just arrived."

"Director Li, have you had breakfast? If not, I bought two more buns."

"I ate it and came out after eating. Hongtao, you are thoughtful."

"Let's go, take me to the factory first. I've already arranged for the driver's license, and I'll be there in a moment."

……

Around nine o'clock, the person in charge of the assessment came over. He was from the Transportation Department. Let's call him Examiner Zhao.

The Transportation Section is under the Logistics Department, which happens to be under the jurisdiction of Deputy Director Li, so the people who came to conduct the assessment were very friendly.

The first thing to be tested is the theory. Examiner Zhao asked Wang Hongtao a question and asked him to answer it. The theory is a question that you have to answer from beginning to end. It is not as simple as the multiple-choice questions today. You can only take the road test after passing the theory.

Originally, examiner Zhao arranged for Wang Hongtao to drive Director Li's jeep during the road test. However, Wang Hongtao thought that the salary would be higher if he took the test on a large car, so he chose to take both the large and small car tests.

Examiner Zhao was not worried about the inspection of the car. After all, the jeep was driven back by Wang Hongtao, so there must be no problem.

However, after taking the small car test, Wang Hongtao applied for the large car test, which confused Examiner Zhao.

"Xiao Wang, why don't you reconsider this? This big car is not like a small car. Without a few years of practice, you won't even be able to turn the steering wheel."

"Besides driving, if there is any minor problem with the car, you have to fix it yourself."

Examiner Zhao gave a kind reminder.

"It's okay, Examiner Zhao. Just trust me. I will definitely pass the test."

[Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking Zhao Nanping's defense. The defense breaking level is E level. 2 perspective points are obtained. Additional reward: None]

Wow, this can also be rewarding?

Wang Hongtao looked at Examiner Zhao with ill intention: I'm sorry, Examiner Zhao!

Examiner Zhao felt a little nervous when Wang Hongtao looked at him:

"What's wrong, Xiao Wang? Why are you staring at me?"

"Master Zhao, everyone says that you have great skills. I'm from the Transportation Department. Today is the first time I drive such a big truck. How about you help me out?"

"this…."

"Don't worry, Master Zhao. I'm just a newbie and can't even speed up. I just want you to sit next to me so that you can feel safe and secure!"

.......

After Wang Hongtao's flattery, Master Zhao sat in the passenger seat of the magnifying card.

"Xiao Wang, you better be careful. If this truck gets damaged, neither of us can afford it!"

"Don't worry, Master Zhao, just watch out!"

As Wang Hongtao spoke, he walked to the front of the truck, inserted the key into the crank and fiddled with it for a while, and the car started with a "boom boom boom".

That’s right, the car key is that Z-shaped metal rocker. If you don’t have enough strength, you can’t even start the car.

After the car started, Wang Hongtao jumped into it, which had a row of seats similar to a hard sofa.

At that time, the Jiefang had many shortcomings besides the large steering wheel resistance, poor shock absorption, and no seat belts. After a trip, the steering and clutch would make you exhausted, and your whole body would ache at the end of the day.

Zhao Nanping: "The truck assessment is divided into several parts: reversing into a garage, driving on a curve, and starting uphill..."

“Bang, bang…”

Before Zhao Nanping could finish speaking, Wang Hongtao had already started the car skillfully.

"Ahem, not bad. At your age, being able to successfully start a truck is already..."

"Fuck, slow down...!"

Wang Hongtao started the car suddenly and almost threw Zhao Nanping out of the car. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and grabbed the handguard above his head to stabilize his body.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Wang Hongtao steered the wheel left and right, and managed to run the entire S-shaped track at a speed of 40 mph.

Finally, Wang Hongtao stopped the car and said, "How is it, Master Zhao? Is my S-curve running acceptable? I don't know if you can see it clearly. If not, I can demonstrate it again. This time I will try to do it in reverse!"

"No, no, your cornering skills are better than mine. You pass, absolutely pass!"

Zhao Nanping thought that he had managed to hold it in so hard not to vomit. If it happened the other way around, he would probably die!

After the S-curve, the car was backed into the parking space. Wang Hongtao performed an instant conversion of the accelerator, brake and clutch without stopping the steering wheel.

Zhao Nanping was stunned by this series of operations. The old Jiefang car in front of him was produced more than ten years ago, and there were many anti-human designs in it that even he could not tolerate.

For example, when changing gears, you have to step on the clutch and the accelerator at the same time. The key is that both the clutch and the brake are difficult to step on, which is even more terrifying than going to the gym to practice rally.

It's okay if you don't change gears for a long time, but if you switch gears continuously like Wang Hongtao, your feet will never stop, switching the accelerator, brake and clutch back and forth. Your feet are really busier than a pianist's fingers.

The key is that he is heavy and can't see! He also has to coordinate the steering wheel and gear shifting!

The clutch and brake are difficult to operate, and the same is true for the steering wheel. The old Jiefang truck does not have power steering, so you really have to rely on your own arm strength to turn the wheels. Therefore, truck drivers without exception have developed a pair of strong arms.

Wang Hongtao was already quite strong to begin with, and with his full-level driving skills and the effects of the Xiao Huan Dan, the steering wheel with huge stress spun like a toy in his hands.

While Wang Hongtao was having fun, Zhao Nanping was suffering. He was thrown from one end of the passenger seat to the other and then back to this end, feeling dizzy.

"Examiner Zhao, how do you think I drive? Is it steady enough? I can reverse into the parking space at a speed of 20 mph without crossing the line!"

Zhao Nanping looked at Wang Hongtao's smug look and wanted to slap him twice! I, a driver examiner, almost vomited because of you, and you call this stable?

Originally, I came to evaluate Wang Hongtao in order to give him some leeway to curry favor with Director Li, but he didn't look like he needed to give any leeway at all. He was even more extravagant than the Russian driver!

"Examiner Zhao, do I still need to be tested when getting in the car and starting off?" Wang Hongtao asked considerately.

Examiner Zhao quickly shook his head: "No, no, I guarantee that your skills are absolutely fine!"

"So I passed the test?!"

"Forget it, forget it! Get out of here right now, kid. I get angry just looking at you!"

"Remember to take those two one-inch photos later!"

"Thank you, Master Zhao. I'll treat you to a meal when I'm free."

After saying that, Wang Hongtao stuffed a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes into his pocket, which cost him 33 cents.

Zhao Nanping took it, then waved his hand at Wang Hongtao with disdain, signaling him to leave quickly.

In such a hurry, Zhao Nanping forgot to check even the basic faults of the truck.

At that time, if the car had a problem, people would basically do minor repairs by themselves, so the driver's level could be seen from the side based on the quality of his car repair skills.

Since examiner Zhao hadn't asked Wang Hongtao, he naturally wouldn't remind him, because he had something important to do right now:

[Congratulations to the host for successfully breaking Zhao Nanping's defense. The defense breaking level is B. You will get 20 perspective points. Additional reward: basic vehicle maintenance]

"That's not right, Brother Tongzi. They are both B-level, but why did Qin Jingru give 60 points, while Zhao Nanping only got 20 points? Where did the remaining 40 points go? Did you swallow them?"

Before Wang Hongtao had time to be happy, he discovered a serious problem. Although he said that he had no lack of perspective, but he should at least tell me after swallowing you, right?

"Qin Jingru is the main supporting character in the play, so the reward for breaking the defense is naturally higher. If the host wants to obtain more perspective points and special rewards, please refer to the main characters in the play."

What this means is that for the same level of defense, the protagonist is worth more than the supporting role? This makes sense. For the same number of episodes, the pay of a big star is naturally higher than that of a supporting role.

But if this happens, Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, Qin Huairu, Lou Xiaoe, and all the neighbors in Yard 95, you're going to suffer a lot!

All villains?

Skillful!

I have seen so many evil people, and you are not even on my list. The key is that I know everything about you!
