The route the car traveled was pretty much what Sun Jian had expected. It turned right from Jianguo Avenue into Terminal Road and drove along the newly built Qingyang Road. This was the time of day when the sun was the most intense, the heat on the ground was rising, and new roads lined the streets. The planted sycamore trees have lowered their delicate branches, there is not a trace of wind in the air, and the cicadas are complaining about the heat.
The wide four-lane road was deserted with no pedestrians or bicycles, except for an occasional Dongfeng truck that was undergoing finishing work.
Qingyang Road is a newly built connecting arterial road built for the implementation of the "Seventh Five-Year Plan" period. Jiangcheng's infrastructure construction focuses on the relocation of urban railways, the electrification of the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, and the construction of Jiangkou's new railway station. It starts from the terminal intersection. It runs from Jiangong Avenue to Jiangkou New Railway Station Square on Jianye Avenue, with a total length of more than 4,500 meters and four lanes in both directions.
There is no Jiangong Avenue in this era. I heard that construction will start next year. Jianye Avenue has not yet been mentioned on the Jiangcheng government's "Seventh Five-Year Plan" agenda.
"Boss Sun, there are very few pedestrians and vehicles here. Just start practicing from here and then turn around when you reach the end!"
Li Jianwu pulled over the car. He did not dare to treat Boss Sun as a novice who had just gotten into the car. He taught him basic actions such as looking at the rearview mirror, igniting, shifting gears, refueling, and applying the brakes.
"Okay, let's start from here!"
Boss Sun and Li Jianwu changed positions. They habitually put on their seat belts, shifted to first gear, released the clutch, and the car slid out smoothly. They refueled, shifted to second gear, shifted to third gear, and shifted to fourth gear. During the driving process, they were coherent. In one breath, the speed of the car increased to over fifty yards in less than five seconds. The car was running steadily in fifth gear at a constant speed without any swaying from side to side, with a relaxed expression.
Li Jianwu's face turned red. How could he be a novice? This hand is more experienced than their coach!
How can I practice with a small car when learning to drive in the army? They are all old Jiefang brand cars. Before driving every day, the squad leader fills up the water tank with a bucket, then shakes the handle for a while, starts the car, waits for the coach to get into the passenger seat, the squad leader gets into the driver's seat, and then everyone Climbing into the car and standing on both sides of the fender, grabbing the fender, the car staggered onto the bumpy road.
One overtime shift leader and nine comrades share a car. If the car is driven for a long time, the water in the water tank will boil. You have to turn off the engine and rest for a while before driving again. You will also encounter cars lying on the ground. It takes less than half a day for one person to practice driving. Fortunately, everyone worked very hard when he was young. He passed the test in two months and obtained the motor vehicle driving license B issued by the state. He was able to drive a large truck. This was also his first time driving such a light passenger and cargo vehicle. When using the car, the performance and comfort of the car are not comparable to those of the old Jiefang brand cars.
In addition to not being afraid of death, the special forces of this era cannot be compared with the special forces of the previous life. Each of the special forces has an off-road vehicle, drives a tank, drives a cruise ship, and some can even fly an airplane. The sharpshooters are all fed with tons of bullets!
Boss Sun could feel Li Jianwu's depression. He thought he could finally show off his driving skills that were better than his boss's, but at first glance, he couldn't compare to his boss. He was just trying out his driving skills?
Driving is a skilled job. It only requires long-term exploration on the road, encountering various complex road conditions, adapting to changes, and handling it flexibly. It is a process that practice makes perfect. Excellence depends on personal understanding and cannot be learned from a master.
The old driver's car drove slower and slower, and drove more steadily.
Sun Jian used to be serious about everything he did and tried his best to do his best. His driving skills were the best among his friends. In his previous life, when he drove to Jigong Mountain, Wudang Mountain or Shennongjia for a self-driving trip, women would rush to sit in his car. car.
Are you familiar with the differences between Isuzu passenger and cargo vehicles and Audi A6? Nowadays, my body is strong, my hands and feet are nimble, my stability and flexibility are not comparable to those in my previous life, and my reactions are quick. Twenty minutes later, after driving back and forth on Qingyang Road twice, I can drive the Isuzu Flying Spur with ease. Of course, it is much worse than driving an Audi A6. .
The performance of the original Japanese B cars of this period is not comparable to that of the previous joint venture cars. When the car is driven to 70 yards, there is no floating feeling and the chassis is stable. It is not like Dongfeng Motors and Jiefang Motors of this period, which will wear out after a few years. It's a sleepy day, minor repairs are constant, and the manufacturing technology of the car is not up to par.
In this era, officials are willing to ride in imported cars. The red Q car is used to receive important foreign guests, and an imported car must be followed behind. During this period, it takes half a year or a year to learn a driver's license with a master, and two or three years for a stupid apprentice. In order to obtain a driver's license, he learned from the master how to repair and change tires, change engine oil, and deal with the problem of cars lying on the road.
During this period, there were no car repair shops or 4S shops everywhere. Drivers also needed to know the working principles of cars and learn simple car repair techniques. They also had to go to a repair shop for major repairs.
In the previous life, there was no need to take the test of repair skills to get a driver's license, because the manufacturing technology of domestically produced cars has passed the test, and there are car repair shops and 4S shops everywhere.
Sun Jian learned many daily life skills from his father who was a fitter since he was a child. A permanent 28-year-old bicycle was dismantled into eight pieces. He could re-oil the bearings, arrange the steel rings, and finally install them. Except for the bell ringing, there was nothing else. It doesn't matter where you are, you can make money by setting up a bicycle repair stall on the roadside.
He obtained the B certificate with public funds. At that time, the Jiangcheng Health Bureau organized the "Three Sessions" activities for young cadres to learn to speak (English), learn to surf the Internet (computer), and learn to walk (driving). He was arranged at the driving school in Shekou, Jianghuang Zhongshi studied hard for two months, and now he has a clear understanding of the working principle of the car. He can change the spare tire, change the battery, check the engine oil, listen to the abnormal sound of the engine, and troubleshoot simple faults.
Don’t worry about the driver’s license test organized by the Jiangcheng District Traffic Management Bureau on August 16. There are no newbies with better driving skills than him at this time. Driving on crowded urban roads in his previous life is not a skill that drivers of this era can master. , with Deputy Director Lu saying hello in advance, there is no need to worry.
An hour and a half later, Boss Sun drove the Isuzu back to the yard from Qingyang Road, reversed and stopped firmly at the original position, with the car upright.
"Did Deputy Director Ling see Boss Sun sitting in the driver's seat just now?"
Zhang Hongtao and Ling Feng, who were patrolling the storefront, thought their eyes were open when they saw Boss Sun driving the Isuzu downhill at the intersection and turning into the warehouse gate.
"seems like it!"
Li Tao and Liu Fang heard the sound of the car and stood in the corridor. They saw Boss Sun sitting in the cab and skillfully reversing the car into the garage. They looked surprised. It would take at least half a year for others to find a master to learn the driver's license. Boss Sun I learned it in less than two hours.
Wu Jie, who was resting, ran out of the dormitory after hearing the news. He was also surprised when he saw Boss Sun coming out of the cab. He thought it was Li Jianwu reversing the car just now.
