Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

Although Jia Dongxu was helpless, he could only nod and go home.

When Yi Zhonghai went home and told this to Auntie, Auntie was also a little surprised.

"Dongxu, how could this kid be so stupid? He has this attitude when asking for help. No wonder Xiao Yun hit him!"

Yi Zhonghai nodded as he poured hot water into the basin. "Yes, Dongxu has been getting more and more unreasonable recently. He doesn't listen to me. Before he went to find Xiao Yun, I repeatedly told him to calm down and beg Xiao Yun. But in the end, he got angry as soon as Xiao Yun said a word."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he took off his shoes and began to soak his feet, with a trace of worry on his face. "If this continues, I'm worried whether he can provide for us in our old age!"

When the aunt heard this, she wrapped the quilt around herself and sat up. "I talked to Qin Huairu today. He seemed very sincere. Should there be any problem?"

Yi Zhonghai shook his head slowly. "It's hard to say. Married women always have to listen to the men in their families. If Jia Dongxu doesn't have the heart to take care of her in her old age, even if Qin Huairu has an idea, she may not be able to do it."

After these words were spoken, the room fell silent for a moment.

After thinking for a while, the lady asked the question in her mind: "Didn't you think highly of Dongxu before? Why are you worried about him now?"

Yi Zhonghai rubbed his feet and said, "I am optimistic about him. I am still optimistic about him now and I consider him as our first choice for retirement. But I don't know why, I always feel that Dongxu's retirement care is becoming less and less reliable."

The aunt looked worried. She and Yi Zhonghai had no children. Now that she was old, the issue of retirement had become her top priority and she took it very seriously.

After hesitating for a moment, the auntie finally spoke: "What if Dongxu is unreliable, what should we do?"

Yi Zhonghai stopped rubbing his feet. The answer to this question was not easy to find.

He is extremely strict in selecting candidates for retirement care.

First of all, you must not have much say in the family, and it is best if you can get a chance to have a say. At the same time, you must be young.

When he chose Jia Dongxu and made the decision to accept him as his disciple, he considered candidates from the compound.

The children of Yan Bugui’s family in the front yard cannot be chosen.

Under Yan Bugui's education, everyone is extremely stingy. If you choose their children, they will be endlessly bleeding, and the family's wealth will also be sucked away.

At the same time, whether others can agree to this is another matter.

As for the sons of Liu Haizhong's family in the backyard, there is no need to even think about them.

After much consideration, Yi Zhonghai finally set his sights on three people.

The first one is Jia Dongxu. The reason is very simple. Old Jia died in the line of duty and his family is having difficulty surviving. He can win people's hearts by offering timely assistance.

The second is He Yuzhu. He Daqing ran away with the White Widow, and life at home was also difficult.

The third is Xiao Yun. No one in Xiao Yun’s family had a stable job before. It was not until Xiao Yun retired from the army that he was assigned a job, but his life was still poor, so he was also included in Yi Zhonghai’s retirement list.

Yi Zhonghai was somewhat disappointed with Jia Dongxu, the current first choice, and had to turn his attention back to the second and third positions.

After thinking for a moment, Yi Zhonghai made a decision in his heart.

Xiao Yun didn't dare to propose this idea rashly. In comparison, he thought He Yuzhu was easier to control.

Yi Zhonghai moved his feet out of the basin, looked at the aunt, and slowly said: "If Dongxu can't take care of us in our old age, then let Shazhu take care of us in our old age. From today on, you must treat him and his sister Yushui well."

"Spending a little money now to provide them with food and drink may bring great benefits in the future."

The lady nodded twice with a serious look on her face. "Okay, I'll listen to you. It's getting late. Let's pour out the water and go to bed."

...

Early next morning.

Xiao Yun turned on the light in the room and looked at the pitch-black sky outside. Since he didn't have a watch ticket to buy a watch, he could only estimate the time.

Xiao Yun also thought about buying a watch. Currently, the only way to obtain watch tickets is to do as Duan Jinsheng said before, to collect all the reward tickets together and take what they need.

But there is hope whether Xiao Yun will bless you or not.

Without thinking any more, Xiao Yun started to eat breakfast.

Millet porridge with eggs will make you more capable the more you eat it.

After dinner, Xiao Yun put on a windproof coat and went out.

Xiao Yun checked everything in the house and stored all the valuable items in the space.

While walking on the road, I occasionally saw a few people with flashlights walking hurriedly by.

When we entered the steel mill, we saw many people loading things onto the truck compartments of a team.

Xiao Yun changed into the driver's uniform and walked over wearing his coat.

The people who were transporting the goods were stunned when they saw Xiao Yun. Then they realized that he was wearing driver's clothes and came to their senses. They did not ask any more questions and continued loading the goods.

Xiao Yun turned his attention to the cargo. The cargo was packed in boxes, which were custom-made from wooden strips. Apart from some patterns left by black spray paint, there were only some seals stuck on them.

When Xiao Yun saw the packaging, he guessed that these were supplies that they didn't want others to see, so he didn't ask any more questions and went to the cafeteria to get some water.

Because the truck mission started early, the canteen also had kitchen helpers on duty early.

After getting the water, Xiao Yun could directly take away his dry food for the next two days along with the shoulder bag containing the dry food.

Xiao Yun naturally wasn't polite. He sat down at the cafeteria table carrying his heavy bag and took out everything inside.

There were quite a few things in the shoulder bag, including several large pieces of things wrapped in oil paper, two iron boxes, two packs of Peony cigarettes, a five-centimeter-high cylindrical object, three steamed buns, and two large biscuits.

Xiao Yun opened a gap in the oil paper that wrapped several large items and secretly sniffed them.

Hmm...it tastes like pig's head.

Xiao Yun also had to check the remaining few one by one.

The remaining two large lumps of things were braised pig's trotters, half a pound of pastries, a small box of pickles, and a small box of sugar.

Xiao Yun was a little shocked. Just two days of shock had given him so many things. No wonder the rest of the team was so excited.

Not long after returning to the truck workshop, Duan Jinsheng, She Xingwang and others also rushed over.

They went to the cafeteria to collect their supplies as if they were familiar with the place, and then sat aside and started chatting.

"Hey, you know what, the supplies given by the higher-ups this time are sufficient. The pig's trotters and pig's heads must weigh at least more than two kilograms." She Xingwang said excitedly.

"Yes, and I also gave you two large pieces of peach kernel crisps. They are really rare. I want to take them back for my daughter. She wanted to eat them during the Chinese New Year last year, but I didn't buy them. Hahaha." Hou Feng packed the biscuits with a smile.

The others also checked the things that were distributed inside.

At this moment, Li Ping, who had been silent in the team, stepped forward and offered cigarettes to everyone.

Duan Jinsheng looked at Li Ping, raised the corner of his mouth and laughed, "Li Ping, you are usually not generous, what's wrong with you today? Is there something wrong with giving us cigarettes?"

Li Ping had a neat crew cut, and it looked a bit funny wearing a gentleman's hat. Facing Duan Jinsheng's question, he rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

"Isn't this the last mission before the New Year? The tickets will be distributed soon. I wonder if I can discuss with you guys. If you have a watch ticket, can you give it to me?"
