Siheyuan: Start as a truck driver

When Wang Weidong saw that everyone had arrived, he asked the young men to stand in line and lie behind the jeep with their buttocks sticking out.

Then he walked up to Director Han.

"Brother Han, we will push the jeep in a moment. When the speed is right, you can shift into first gear, then step on the accelerator, and the car will start."

"Well...I'm good at catching thieves. I'm really not familiar with cars, so you should do it."

After listening to Wang Weidong's explanation, Director Han felt it was a bit complicated and waved his hand.

Wang Weidong nodded.

In this era, there were no driving schools or driving tests. As long as you got in the car, you were the driver.

This has a drawback. Once there is a problem with the car, novice drivers who only know how to step on the accelerator will be blinded.

"Okay, please go and stick your butt out too, Brother Han."

Director Han:....

Wang Weidong opened the door, sat in the driver's seat, stepped on the clutch and shifted into neutral.

"Okay, now you push the car out of the gate."

Everyone followed Wang Weidong's command and pushed the jeep onto the road outside the door.

"Okay, now spread your arms and push hard!" Wang Weidong grabbed the steering wheel tightly.

"okay!"

Everyone worked together, sticking their butts out, and pushing the cart hard.

The young men were strong, and in just one minute, the jeep's speed reached twenty yards.

Wang Weidong suddenly stepped on the clutch and quickly shifted into first gear.

The speed of the jeep dropped rapidly under the drag of the engine.

The internal gears mesh together and rotate rapidly, creating sparks from friction, igniting the remaining gasoline in the cylinder, and causing the cylinder to violently move back and forth.

With a "buzz" sound, the engine started to rotate, and black smoke came out of the tail.

"It's on, it's on, it's on!"

"I thought I was bragging, but the veteran driver is awesome!"

…

Lou Xiao'e's eyes sparkled as she watched from the side, and her fair and pink face was filled with pride.

My man is amazing!

…

After the jeep started, Wang Weidong drove to a flat place, stepped on the clutch and put it into neutral to prevent it from stalling again.

"Mozhi, Director Han, get in the car!"

Wang Weidong took the bicycle from Lou Xiao'e, hung it on the back of the jeep, got in, and sat in the back seat.

The jeep is much more comfortable to sit in than the truck, and the cushions under the buttocks are also soft.

...

After driving in the cold wind for about ten minutes, we arrived at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

The three of them got out of the car together and walked into the yard. Director Ma was already waiting with a clerk.

After meeting, there was inevitably another round of pleasantries.

Director Ma was initially a little embarrassed when he received the call from Director Han.

What he hates most in his life is that he hates others taking the back door.

I had already thought about how to decline politely.

However, they heard that the woman's parents were capitalists and had strong feudal ideology, so they prevented the two from getting married.

Wang Weidong and Lou Xiao'e walked together without hesitation, which perfectly fits the major theme of this era.

Besides, the two of them also had letters of introduction from the steel rolling mill.

He could not refuse, both in public and private matters.

...

"Comrade Wang Weidong, Comrade Lou Xiao'e, I will report your advanced deeds to the superiors. They can serve as models for opposing feudalism."

Director Wang warmly shook Wang Weidong's hand.

Hey, I accidentally became a typical example!

Wang Weidong was a little touched.

Later, under the witness of Director Han Suo and Director Ma, the clerk went through the registration procedures for Wang Weidong and Lou Xiao'e.

The marriage certificate of this era was a certificate of merit, which looked the same as a primary school student's certificate, except that the word "Happy" was printed in big red at the bottom.

There is no photo on the marriage certificate, only the names of the two people.

Looking at the marriage certificate, Wang Weidong felt inexplicably.

As an experienced driver, I finally have a legal driver’s license!

Turning to look at Lou Xiao'e who was looking at him affectionately, Wang Weidong felt as if he was in a dream.

I held Lou Xiao'e's soft little hand tightly, no matter what thoughts I had when I was with Lou Xiao'e at the beginning.

But at this moment, he sincerely wanted to spend the rest of his life with Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Xiao'e looked at the marriage certificate and felt like she was in a dream.

This marriage certificate was like an invisible shackle, tightly binding her to the rough man next to her, and they could no longer be separated.

"We got married?"

Wang Weidong nodded and said in a positive tone: "Yes, we are married!"

Lou Xiao'e's eyes burst into tears, and she hugged Wang Weidong excitedly, ignoring that there was someone else next to her, and buried her little head in his arms.

"Bah bang bang!"

The three spectators unanimously applauded the newlyweds.

Until they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the two of them still held hands tightly.

Han Suo originally wanted to send the two of them back, but Wang Weidong refused.

"Brother Han, we both want to go back by ourselves. Thank you for this."

"We are all our own people, so don't say anything polite." Han Suo patted Wang Weidong on the shoulder and said, "When serving wine, don't forget me."

Wang Weidong smiled and said: "No one can forget you if you forget! That's it, let's go first."

"Go for it!"

Han Suo watched Wang Weidong and his wife walk away. Just as he was about to get in the car, he suddenly remembered another thing. His expression changed and he wanted to call Wang Weidong back, but they had disappeared.

…

It was already dark at this time. The bright stars hung high in the night sky over the capital city.

Wang Weidong rode his bicycle and drove Lou Xiao'e under the gaze of the stars.

At this moment, his excited heart had calmed down.

Feeling the warmth behind him, Wang Weidong felt an extra weight on his shoulders.

Back in the courtyard, dim lights lit up in the windows of every house.

"We're home!" Lou Xiao'e, who rarely does housework at Lou's house, opened the door and began to clean up the house.

Starting from today, she will turn this place into a warm little home.

"Mozhu, how about I make millet porridge for you tonight?"

Wang Weidong took the initiative to assume the responsibilities of a housewife, dug half a bowl of millet from the grain tank, and walked outside.

Fortunately, it hasn't frozen yet. Turn on the faucet and the water will flow out.

After Wang Weidong washed the millet, he removed the plug of the coal stove.

The red flames that shot out were blown by the breeze that slipped in from the window, like the lake surface under the setting sun, sparkling.

Instantly drove away the coldness of the cold night.

Wang Weidong placed the black iron pot on the coal stove and poured water and millet into it.

The flames licked the bottom of the pot, making a sizzling sound.

Half an hour later, the unique smell of millet porridge was filling the room.

"Stop being busy, let's eat first!"

Wang Weidong pulled Lou Xiao'e over who was wiping the glass.

Just now, Wang Weidong had advised Lou Xiao'e to take a rest several times.

But this silly girl has a bit of a stubborn temper and must clean the room before going to bed.

After the millet porridge was cooked, Wang Weidong took out the peanuts contributed by Yan Bugui from the cupboard and placed them on the square wooden table.

Under the dim light, the two of them ate crunchy peanuts and fragrant and warm millet porridge, smiling at each other from time to time.

What a happy little life!
