Chapter 158
It turned out that the village committee had started a banquet, and the town leader had specially asked someone to call him over.
After Zhao Qin knew what was going on, he did not refuse and took the initiative to sit at the table of the production team leader, sitting with Lao Zhang.
The leader called him here more because of his donation today, which was a kind of encouragement, but he did not let him sit together.
In the middle of the meal, Zhao Qin stood up and toasted the leader with a glass of wine. The two did not contact each other at other times. After the meal, Zhao Qin took the initiative to ask the leader for his phone number, saying that he had some ideas next, so he could ask for instructions and report at that time.
The leader also happily exchanged numbers with him, and Zhao Qin said goodbye and left.
In fact, several production team leaders were a little surprised, thinking that Zhao Qin was too honest today. They thought he came here to cause trouble before, but he didn’t expect that he not only didn’t cause trouble, but also donated 20,000 yuan.
In the next two days, the village was talking about Zhao Qin’s donation to the primary school.
There were some sour words, but they didn’t dare to say them out loud.
It is summer vacation now. There were rumors earlier that the first and second grades in the village would not be open in the new school year. Now with Zhao Qin’s sponsorship, at least this year, there will be no problem.
Those whose children are in the first and second grades are grateful to him.
Some people are also secretly guessing how much money the Zhao family kid has made during this period. This donation is 20,000 yuan. Wow, he must have made more than 20,000 yuan in this month.
Zhao Qin did these things not to be grateful, but just to make himself feel at ease.
In the next few days, he was busy taking the exam. Lao Luo from the Maritime Administration arranged it for him. The theory and the ship exam were two days apart. After getting the answers for the theory, he memorized them all night, and was afraid that he remembered the wrong order.
As a last resort, he wrote densely on his palms. As a result, he found that there was no invigilator at all when he entered the examination room. Everyone took out the answers and copied them openly.
Fuck, he is still too naive.
The ship test is simpler. When you get on board, you throw two packs of cigarettes on the control panel, and then the safety officer will ask you whether he will help you drive or you will drive yourself.
Zhao Qin chose to drive himself, which made the safety officer very nervous. He kept reminding him not to crash or anything.
That night after the test, Lao Luo called him and told him to go get his certificate in a week. Zhao Qin finally put one thing aside.
There is a driving school in the town. When he arrived, he was greeted by a middle-aged man.
“Do you have any basics, such as driving a tractor?”
“I can drive.” Zhao Qin was not modest.
“There are 1,900 yuan ones, which take about 3 months to get the certificate, and there are 2,900 yuan ones, which take about 28 days to get the certificate.”
Zhao Qin did not hesitate to apply for the fastest one. After paying the money, the middle-aged man took the car keys and wanted to see if he could drive.
A few small actions when getting in the car surprised the middle-aged man. One was his psychological quality. Many people are inevitably nervous when they drive for the first time. Zhao Qin acted very naturally, and there was really no difference between him and an experienced driver.
The second was to adjust the seat and rearview mirror, which is also something that many rookies don’t pay attention to.
Before starting the engine, he shook the gear. These actions made the middle-aged man sure that Zhao Qin was not bragging when he said he could drive.
After driving for a while, the middle-aged man’s foot also moved away from the auxiliary brake. He drove more steadily than himself, so there was nothing to worry about.
“Look at the time, I’ll try to arrange the test as soon as possible.”
“The theory takes time, I’m a little worried about this, and there’s also the second test. Parallel parking is not difficult, but the difficult ones are S-bends, rolling pancakes, etc.”
The middle-aged man smiled, and the other party was familiar with the assessment items, “The theory is guaranteed to pass, and there are safety officers in other cars.”
Zhao Qin understood, as long as he didn’t make common sense mistakes.
Now the driving test has three subjects. The first subject is theory, the second subject is three out of nine, and the third subject is the main road, and it is not an electronic road. There is an invigilator sitting in the car. If he says you pass, you pass.
“If you really don’t have time, add another 1,000 yuan and give me two one-inch photos. You drive steadily, so it doesn’t matter whether you take the test or not.”
Oh, now you can be exempted from the test. Zhao Qin forgot about it.
“Okay, it just happens that I don’t have enough time.” He paid 1,000 yuan again, took another photo in the town, and waited for the driver’s license.
In fact, it is not so urgent. After all, he has no plan to buy a car for the time being, but it is always a matter of course. The sooner you handle it, the easier it will be.
During the days when he was busy, Zhao Ping and Ah He went out to the sea twice. Their main operations were longline fishing and pumping pits. The harvests were not bad, more than 1,800 and more than 2,200 respectively. The traps were not put, and the bait and fuel costs were only 200 yuan a day.
After finishing his work today, he came to the purchasing station as usual to brag with Chen Dong and the others.
“Oh, are you planning to be a hands-off boss?”
“Don’t make fun of me. I’ve been busy these days.I’m busy, you know that. ”
“I heard that you donated 20,000 yuan to build a primary school in the village?” Chen Dong asked curiously.
“You heard everything?”
“I went to the town government yesterday and heard something. They seemed to be studying it. They said that you are a party member, so your awareness is different. They plan to apply for you to be a county-level model worker or something.
You are young and your resume is quite inspiring. You dropped out of a prestigious school and settled in the countryside. In addition to this donation, they also want to make achievements. ”
Zhao Qin had a headache. He didn’t want to be in the limelight. Once he was given a certain title, there would be a lot of things.
“It’s useless. It’s probably just a discussion. After all, I, the person involved, don’t know.”
Chen Dong nodded in agreement. It was just a gust of wind, and it was gone.
“Are you going out to sea tomorrow?”
“I’m going to my eldest sister’s house tomorrow. According to my eldest sister’s wishes, I guess I have to stay for two or three days. Why haven’t I seen Ah Xue these days? ”
“She went on a trip with her mother and her sister-in-law. Why didn’t she tell you on the phone?”
Zhao Qin was stunned. The girl really didn’t tell you, but she still sent him messages on time every night.
When it was about time, Zhao Qin rode his tricycle to the town dock. His luck value today was 36 points, and he thought that his brother and his friends would have a good harvest.
It was nearly half past six when their own boat came over from a distance.
When the boat docked, Zhao Qin jumped on the boat. Looking at the smiles on the two people’s faces, he knew that today’s harvest should be pretty good.
“No puddle was pumped today? “After draining the water pit, the buckets and baskets won’t be so clean. According to my brother’s personality, if the stones in the pit can be sold, he will definitely move them to the boat, not to mention the crabs and snails in the pit, but there is not a snail or crab in the buckets and baskets today. “I originally planned to drain the water pit, but after visiting two islands, those water pits can’t hide fish at a glance. I’m afraid of burning too much oil if I go again, so I found a small island not far from the fishing raft with Ah He to fish with hand lines.” Zhao Qin was just asking, of course he wouldn’t say that the two were lazy. According to my brother’s personality, it would be difficult to make him lazy. First, catch the fish in the live tank. Seeing the harvest, Zhao Qin also understood why the two were happy. Today’s fish harvest may be less in weight than before, but there are more valuable goods. There are five or six spring fish, and two big red spots weighing more than two kilograms, which immediately raised the value. “Brother, these are not the most expensive. ”
Ah He smiled slyly and opened the refrigerator. Six yellow croakers of different sizes were lying inside. Perhaps the water was clear today, so the fish were not so yellow.
“Did you catch them?”
“I caught two, and Brother Ping caught four.”
Zhao Ping suppressed his joy and said modestly: “We were lucky today. Although I caught more, the two largest ones were pulled up by Ah He.”
