The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

At lunchtime, while everyone was getting ready to eat in the cafeteria, Tian Xueyi left for a while.

He returned a while later, and Qi Desheng also came. Seeing Yang Dalin, Tian Xueyi, and a group of drivers eating together, he said, "You drivers should have a short meeting after you finish eating."

Then he left.

After finishing his meal, Yang Dalin went to the driver's duty room at the freight station, where all the drivers had arrived.

Qi Desheng arrived shortly after and clapped his hands: "Comrades, let's have a short meeting."

Let me talk about two things. First, let's talk about the incident this morning where Tian Xueyi's apprentice, Yang Dalin, was driving a car without permission.

Although Yang Dalin had some basic driving skills and could drive, he hadn't taken his driving test yet. He started the car without his instructor, Tian Xueyi, present. Fortunately, no damage was caused. Considering that he was trying to finish loading and unloading the goods as soon as possible, he was given a verbal reprimand. If he is caught doing this again, he will receive a major demerit.

This time, you two, master and apprentice, will each write a self-criticism: Tian Xueyi (500 words) and Yang Dalin (1000 words).

Yang Dalin thought to himself, "My brother Sheng is the best. All talk and no action. It must have been Brother Tian who went to report to Qi Desheng earlier."

Many people already know about this. Although Yang Dalin seems to have been beaten, the station definitely can't let him go unpunished.

If everyone does it this way, something terrible will happen.

Therefore, criticism and self-examination are inevitable, but verbal criticism is equivalent to nothing happening.

Brother Sheng and Brother Tian were really helpful; I also benefited from this adventure.

I can start driving sooner from now on, otherwise it will take forever to learn.

Yang Dalin also glanced at Tian Xueyi, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Just like in the army, Tian Xueyi stood up straight, stood at attention, and said, "Yes, I understand."

Yang Dalin echoed, "Yes, I understand."

Seeing that the two men were in a good mood, Qi Desheng brought up the second matter: "The second matter is that Comrade Yang Dalin made a good suggestion this morning, which made Comrade Tian Xueyi leave his post in an emergency and go to our freight truck repair shop."

He proposed the concept of a repair trough, which involves digging a deep trench in the ground. People can go down a step and the truck can drive directly onto the repair trough. Then, people can stand in the trench to inspect the bottom of the truck, eliminating the need to lie down or crawl to repair it.

Although it's a simple thing, it's very practical.

Therefore, the station decided that we should punish those who deserve punishment and reward those who deserve reward.

Let's see how it goes. If it works well, the station will reward the master and apprentice based on their contributions.

Please feel free to offer any good suggestions you may have in the future. However, please do not leave your post to find me without permission. Please do so during mealtimes or when it is not related to your work.

Okay, that's settled then. Let's give you both a round of applause!

The drivers immediately clapped and cheered for the two.

After clapping for a while, Qi Desheng said, "Everyone, take a break. After you've rested, get back to work."

After saying that, Qi Desheng left first, giving Yang Dalin a glare as he went.

A group of drivers gathered around, asking Tian Xueyi about the concept of a repair bay.

Upon seeing this, Yang Dalin quickly hid far away.

He was afraid that Tian Xueyi would cause him trouble again.

Yang Dalin thought to himself, "How am I going to write a thousand-word self-criticism?"

I'm really worried. Maybe I should ask Sister Yan to write it for me, and then I can copy it myself.

Yang Dalin was sitting in his seat, deep in thought.

Unexpectedly, Tian Xueyi thoughtfully handed him a pen and some paper, saying, "These are mine, please finish writing them for me."

Yang Dalin was startled and quickly stood up: "Brother Tian, ​​I don't even know how to write my own."

Tian Xueyi said with an unquestionable expression, "I don't care. This whole thing started because of you. If you don't write it, who will?"

After saying that, he ignored Yang Dalin, who was standing there bewildered in the wind, and went off to chat with a group of experienced drivers while holding his teacup.

Yang Dalin picked up a pen and wrote two large characters in the middle of the first line: "Inspect."

Then I stopped. I hadn't written this kind of thing in years. One was 500 words, and the other was 1,000 words. What was I going to do?

Yang Dalin scratched his head, looking really worried, and then didn't write another word.

After a short break, it was time for everyone to get back to work.

In the afternoon, Yang Dalin loaded the truck first, and after that, Tian Xueyi watched him drive. Unexpectedly, he drove more and more smoothly throughout the afternoon.

Later, Lao Tian asked him if he dared to go on the main road, and Yang Dalin replied, "Why wouldn't I dare?"

Old Tian said, "Okay, you drive when we deliver goods to other units in the city, and I'll keep an eye on it."

If we're going on a long trip soon, you can come along. When we have some free time, I'll take you to the shooting range to practice shooting.

The mention of learning to shoot immediately perked Yang Dalin up: "Brother Tian, ​​when are we going?"

Unexpectedly, Lao Tian replied, "We'll talk about it after you check and help me finish writing it."

……

After get off work in the evening, Yang Dalin and Lao Tian were called to Qi Desheng's office.

Qi Desheng then asked Yang Dalin about his driving situation.

Qi Desheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Tian Xueyi say that Yang Dalin was really doing a good job.

Qi Desheng asked Yang Dalin, "Did you really learn to drive a tractor after just watching someone drive one back in your hometown?"

Yang Dalin recalled his original experience: "No, Brother Sheng, our commune didn't have any tractors. I just learn things quickly. I watched for a day and didn't find it that difficult. I don't know what I was thinking at the time. I started driving as soon as I got started. I didn't expect it to be so easy to drive, and I didn't expect any consequences. I'm really sorry to have troubled you, Brother Sheng and Brother Tian."

Yang Dalin chose to tell the truth, otherwise the truth would be exposed during the investigation.

Upon hearing this, Qi Desheng kicked Yang Dalin in the buttocks again.

I had discussed it with Tian Xueyi beforehand today and covered up his lie.

Otherwise, even if Yang Dalin had a foundation, this incident involving the high-speed train might have escalated into a major incident.

Even if he is the deputy station manager, it won't work.

After all, trucks are important assets, and any damage could be a serious matter.

Fortunately, Yang Dalin was a really good driver and had a high talent. Qi Desheng then told Tian Xueyi, "Let him drive more these few days, and you teach him more. First, teach him how to drive, then let him get on the road, and later you can teach him how to repair cars."

We need to clean up his mess right away. If this guy misbehaves again, you should get a real solid wood stick instead of your cracked one.

Tian Xueyi nodded and said, "Understood. I still have a steel bar in my car; that thing isn't easy to break."

Upon hearing this, Yang Dalin was startled and quickly took out the braised beef he had prepared earlier from his satchel and placed it on Qi Desheng's table: "Brothers, this is for you to drink and eat. It's my way of showing my respect to you. Let's skip the steel rod. I promise I won't make the same mistake again. I'll remember this time."

Qi Desheng glanced at the braised beef, then looked directly at Yang Dalin and said, "Do you really know you were wrong?"

Yang Dalin nodded firmly: "I really understand, brother. Don't worry, I will learn to repair cars as soon as possible and not embarrass my two brothers."

Qi Desheng then relaxed a bit: "Alright, that's good. Don't forget to hand in the inspection tomorrow morning."
