At the banquet, Yang Liufang only drank the wine toasted by his apprentices. Then, under the cheers of everyone, Secretary Shitou toasted on behalf of the whole village. Yang Liufang knew that his drinking capacity was limited, and he was afraid of making a fool of himself. In addition, it was the year-end dinner of the supply and marketing cooperative that night, so he even responded with tea instead of wine. The apprentices, the old workers in the factory, and Secretary Shitou knew Yang Liufang's drinking capacity, so they didn't force it. After the toast was completed, they drank and drank freely. Before the dinner party was over, Yang Liufang said hello to Secretary Shitou, asked his elder brother to greet everyone on his behalf, and went to rest himself.
When he woke up, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. The workers and their families had dispersed. The master chef, his mother-in-law, and his future daughter-in-law were busy cleaning up the canteen where the dishes were messed up. Seeing Yang Liufang sleepily rubbing his temples and coming out to wash up, the master chef hurriedly asked his mother-in-law to serve Yang Liufang a bowl of hot and sour soup, and told him to drink a bowl after washing to relieve his hangover and drive back to the city. Yang Liufang was very grateful to the master chef for his understanding. While drinking soup in the canteen, he asked him about the operation of the canteen and what else needed to be solved in daily work.
"Boss Yang, there is nothing in our cafeteria. Now there are fifty or sixty people eating and we are very busy. It's just that I (uh) have a personal matter to ask you."
"Oh, if there is anything we don't want, just tell me and I will solve it if I can."
"Mr. Yang, do you remember my son? He came back to help at our factory's year-end dinner last year."
"Remember, remember. Oh, I finally took a vacation, came back for a blind date, and I caught him. After I finished my work, I asked Yanhua to seal a red envelope, and you guys returned it."
"Well, that's right, this is the person he is dating (Part 2). Isn't our supply and marketing cooperative canteen very famous in Xizhou recently! He heard about it and wanted to work in the cafeteria. So (I) decided to marry him (Part 2) ) Old face, come and beg you, see if you can recruit him in."
"Oh, that's it. Hey, doesn't he work in your original unit in Xizhou?" Yang Liufang asked.
"Well, our original business is now in a recession. Workers spend three days fishing and two days drying nets, and few people go to the canteen to eat. They say that the canteen should be contracted out like our supply and marketing cooperative canteen, and we have informed the chefs to find another way out. Woolen cloth."
"Oh, that's it. Okay, master, don't worry, I don't know about the situation in the supply and marketing cooperative's cafeteria. I'll ask about the supply and marketing cooperative's party in the evening and see if I can arrange it in."
"Okay, thank you, Boss Yang. Qinghua, come and thank Boss Yang." The master's future daughter-in-law came forward and said with a blushing face: "Thank you, Boss Yang."
"Oh, what's your original job?" Yang Liufang stopped drinking soup, put down the bowl, and hurriedly asked.
"Boss Yang, my family is from Wangqingchuan. I haven't been studying since I graduated from junior high school. I usually help my mother (my father and mother) sew and mend clothes at home."
"Oh, from Wangqingchuan, our leather factory is recruiting people in your village, right?"
"Yes, my mom has been selected. Uh (me)...uh (me) and Shi Sheng are getting married, so I didn't sign up." She said timidly.
"When are you going to get married? I can prepare red envelopes for you."
"Thank you, Boss Yang. (We) are preparing for the Spring Festival. You must come to have a wedding banquet then."
"Oh, okay. Sure. Master, I have written down the matter. I will ask about the situation during dinner in the evening."
"Boss Yang, you've taken the trouble. Thank you."
"Haha, Master, I'm sorry, I'm a junior. If you say that, my life will be shortened. Hahaha..." Yang Liufang laughed loudly, drank the sobering soup, and looked at the time before getting ready to drive. Return to the city.
He hasn't obtained a driver's license yet, or even a test certificate, but with the help of the bank's driver and two professional drivers from the army, Zhang Feng and Qin Jiajun, and several days of training, he is already able to drive on the road. There were too few vehicles at that time. There were almost no cars on the road from Hanwangcheon to Xizhou. There were no prohibited areas on the entire road. In addition, he was driving a luxury car. As long as he got on the road and did not drive into the ditch, , you can basically go anywhere. Daily road traffic management is also relatively loose. After entering Xizhou City, you rarely encounter traffic police all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative in the north of the city. Even if you encounter traffic police, basically as long as there are no dangerous driving violations, their vehicle procedures are complete, and they are basically OK after inspection. Just let it go.
This is also to blame for the public security organs, which have not set up special driving training schools. Only a few units such as transportation companies, bus companies, including some large state-owned enterprises have drivers and instructor qualifications. The driver of President Li of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative is qualified, but people do not care about Yang Liufang. He was a superior leader who was usually too busy driving for President Li, so how could he have time to teach him how to drive? Although the two drivers trained by the army in his sales department were absolutely top-notch in skills, they were not qualified to apply for a coaching certificate. As a last resort, Yang Liufang could only learn from a driver in the bank, who was assigned by the vice president.
According to regulations, Yang Liufang only received a traffic regulations study manual after signing up. He had to go home and study by himself. After studying for three months, he could prepare to take the unified traffic regulations examination of the Vehicle Administration. After passing the exam, he will receive a student ID card from the vehicle management office. With the student ID card, he can drive on the road with the instructor. You have to practice on the road with a coach for three months before you can take the mechanical test, which tests some vehicle knowledge points. In those days, there were no specialized car repair shops. If the car broke down, the driver would basically repair it by himself, so the mechanical knowledge test was very important.
If you pass the exam, you still need to continue practicing some skills and make an appointment for the next "drill pipe moving warehouse" exam. As the name suggests, there are several fixed piles on the ground to practice moving warehouses, pouring warehouses, passing manhole covers, etc. According to the master who taught him, when driving, you must first start from the left front, put the vehicle into the left warehouse, and then move the vehicle to the right warehouse after three ups and three downs. During the movement of the vehicle, you must not touch the fixed piles. Put the vehicle in the right warehouse. Get it right, this is a library transfer. Then drive the vehicle to the right front, and then pour the vehicle into the right warehouse. When backing into the warehouse, the vehicle cannot hit the fixed pile. This is called backing into the warehouse. It seems simple, but it is difficult to operate in practice, and it takes three months of practice.
Let's put it this way, from the day when you learn laws and regulations to getting an "examination certificate", which is equivalent to a driving license during the internship period, because the cover of this certificate is white, it is also called a "white book", and it takes one year. time. Then drive with this white certificate for one year, which is equivalent to a one-year internship period. During this year, you must not have any traffic accidents before you can convert to a formal driving license. After converting to a formal driver's license, you need to go to the vehicle management office to get a red driver's license before you can become a real car driver. Therefore, it takes two years from applying for the exam to getting a real driver's license, and this is even if the four tests are passed at once. If you fail one of the exams, or if you break the rules while driving with a white driver's license, the time to get a red driver's license will be postponed.
Yang Liufang didn't have the time and patience. The day after his new car got a good license, he asked the driver designated by the bank to take him on the road to practice. Of course, he is also smart enough. Even without a student certificate, he can basically drive alone now. Li Tongfu was in the same situation as him, except that he often lived in Xizhou and it was more convenient to study than Yang Liufang. Now the two of them drove two Santanas, carrying Secretary Shitou and Shi Fang, one after the other, and returned to the supply and marketing cooperative in a majestic manner.
The canteen of the supply and marketing cooperative was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Because it was New Year's Day and the supply and marketing cooperative had a dinner together, it was many times more lively than usual. Because all citizens of Xizhou usually go home to eat at night, only one or two windows in the canteen are usually open at night. Now the canteen is brightly lit, and several red lanterns are hung up with streamers cut from red paper in the hall. When they parked the car and went upstairs, they saw the energetic and white-haired President Gong, accompanied by President Li, already seated. The new president of Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative was serving carefully, and Yanhua and the office director were busy. greet guests. Yang Liufang and Li Tongfu hurriedly walked to the table and leaned forward to shake hands with President Gong and President Li.
"Mr. Gong, President Li, I'm sorry. It's the end of the year. Everyone has worked hard for a year. The factory workers are also having dinner today, so I'm late. Please forgive me."
"It's good for young people to be busy with their careers! I told you I read you right. The Chengbeimen City Department has been run brilliantly by you for more than half a year. This year, it is still a reform pioneer within the system and even among state-owned enterprises in the province." Mr. Gong looked at him lovingly. them, holding their hands and praising them.
"Mr. Gong, you are very commendable. It is you who laid the foundation and President Li's leadership is good." Yang Liufang spoke in a comprehensive manner and always made those who interacted with him feel particularly comfortable.
"Everyone sit down and talk, sit down and talk." President Li asked everyone to take their seats.
"Mr. Gong, President Li, I'll go take a look and say hello to everyone." Li Tongfu handed over to the two leaders and left to greet the guests.
Today, in addition to the sales department staff, family members were also invited as last year. The families of Wang Shan and Yinhua all know each other, and Secretary Shitou is already talking to them. Needless to say, Yanhua’s mother, Principal Wang, the furniture factory’s first corporate business is to customize desks and chairs for their school, and last year the unit She was also invited to the dinner party. Secretary Shitou, Wang Shan, Yinhua, Yanhua, etc. are all her students. She is also very happy to see that the students are promising. Now she is teaching Qin Jiajun's son and Wang Shan and Yinhua's daughters to recite Tang poetry.
There were two other old men sitting a little far away, with Wang Xinye accompanying them, and Zhang Feng standing not far away in a restrained manner, upright as if he was standing guard in the army. Needless to say, those two old people were Wang Xinye's father and mother.
"Hello, uncle, auntie." Li Tongfu stepped forward to say hello.
"Hello."
"Mom, this is our Mr. Li."
"Hello, Mr. Li." The two old men quickly stood up and shook hands.
"Please sit down, please sit down, welcome to you. Xinye, take care of your parents. Zhang Feng, what's the matter with you, hiding so far away."
"Mr. Li, I..." Although Zhang Feng is a good driver and seller, he is still timid when facing his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"What are you doing? Quickly make tea for the two old men. Make good tea."
"Ouch, Mr. Li, stop being busy, we haven't finished what they poured."
"Oh, okay, uncle and aunt, Zhang Feng is the captain of the transportation team of our supply and marketing cooperative and furniture factory. He is retired from the army. He is down-to-earth and hard-working. We are very optimistic about Xinye and him."
"Yes, yes, he's a nice guy. It's just that it's a bit far from home."
"Haha, uncle and aunt, look at my brother and I, our home is not far away. We are developing in Xizhou, our career is in Xizhou, and our people are here." Li Tongfu deserves to have seen the world, and he spoke generously and for the first time Meet and chat with New Leaf parents.
