Chapter 11 Driving Matters That Road
Chapter 11 Driving Matters That Road
in the afternoon.
After completing his task, Lu Wenjiang came to Li Kailang with several cargo lists.
"Xiao Li, this is your afternoon assignment. From now on, I will clear my afternoon time and go out with you. You can drive."
Li Kailang took a look and found that they were the supplies the furniture factory needed and were very close.
"Okay, senior brother."
As they spoke, the two got into the car. When Li Kailang was about to start the car, Lu Wenjiang handed Li Kailang a map.
"Xiao Li, this is the map of Sijiu City. If you get lost, remember to take a look at it. It's better to write it down. Also, it's best to put this map in the storage box at the back to prevent others from taking it away."
"Brother, this map is very important."
"It's not that important, but it's better not to lose it. If you get lost while driving, you won't be able to find the way if you lose the map."
"I understand, brother."
"But don't worry if it's lost. Ask the master for it. He still has it. Just drive."
Li Kailang drove to the warehouse, got the shipping order, and asked the people in the unloading department to move the materials. He counted them on the side, and after confirming that they were correct, he signed for confirmation.
Then he drove out of the steel mill.
"By the way, Xiao Li, do you have any cigarettes?" Lu Wenjiang suddenly asked.
"No." Although the predecessor could smoke, he had never taken the initiative to buy cigarettes. Li Kailang would not smoke on his own initiative either, so naturally there was no cigarette.
"When you have time, remember to buy some as a backup. Buy all kinds of cigarettes, and always carry cigarettes with you." Lu Wenjiang saw that Li Kailang did not pass cigarettes to the security department.
"I understand, brother." Li Kailang knew that Lu Wenjiang really wanted to teach him how to behave and be a good person.
Lu Wenjiang looked at the solemn Li Kailang and said with a smile:
"Xiao Li, don't be so serious. These are just some small things. Relax. This is what my senior brother taught me. Let's go."
Li Kailang drove the truck all the way to the dirt road.
Suddenly, I saw a woman waving at me on the dirt road ahead.
"Xiao Li, drive over, I want to ask what's going on." Lu Wenjiang.
Hello, what’s up? Lu Wenjiang leaned out and asked.
"Hello, I'm going back to the village with my child. The village is a bit far. I want to ask if I can take a ride."
"I'll give you the money," the woman said finally.
"Okay, come up!" Lu Wenjiang said.
Seeing that the woman was inconvenient, Lu Wenjiang looked at the surrounding environment, then got off the bus, helped him get into the carriage, and found an empty seat.
After all, the GAZ truck only has a front seat, and even though she is a woman, she cannot just be allowed to sit in the driver's seat.
Fortunately, it was the material needed by the furniture factory. It was not particularly sharp and not large, so it would not hurt people. The woman did not have to worry about danger while sitting there.
"Comrade, where is your village?" Lu Wenjiang asked.
"It's not far. Just go straight for about five or six kilometers and you'll arrive." The woman said hurriedly.
"Okay, sit down, we're leaving." After saying that, Lu Wenjiang gestured to Li Kailang.
After driving three or four kilometers, Lu Wenjiang dropped the woman off the car and returned to the car with ten cents.
At this time, the bus fare is a few cents or a few dimes, depending on the actual situation.
But basically they all have fixed times and fixed vehicles. If you want to go back to the countryside, there are only two buses in the morning and evening. If you miss them, you can only wait, so this dime is not much.
"Xiao Li, this is one of the hidden benefits for us as drivers. This dime may not seem like much, but if we carry a lot of people, we can make a lot of money after each trip.
Besides, we meet many such people every day. We help them if we can and make some money at the same time. The leaders also know these things.”
Li Kailang suddenly understood what Lu Wenjiang said.
He finally understood why the driver could become one of the eight major members. It was really easy to make money!
Finally, Lu Wenjiang talked about precautions.
"Xiao Li, I have something important to tell you. You must keep it in mind." Lu Wenjiang looked at Xiao Li seriously and continued,
“First, if it’s not on your way, you must refuse, because if something happens to the car, not only will you have to pay for the repairs, you may also be fired by the factory.
Our job is hard-earned, and we cannot lose it because of greed. We would rather earn less money than take risks. "Lu Wenjiang paused and continued, "Secondly, we have a fixed route every day, unless there is a problem on the road.
For example, if the road conditions are bad or there are obstacles, don't easily deviate from the original route. This can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. "
Xiao Li nodded, and Lu Wenjiang continued:
"Also, be vigilant at night or in the evening. Some people will deliberately stop us, knock us out in the dark, and then drive away."
Lu Wenjiang looked at Xiao Li and emphasized again: "If the car is lost, not only will you lose your job, you may also have to pay compensation or even be sentenced to prison.
So, in the evening, if it is not an emergency, it is best not to help.
It’s also about protecting ourselves.”
As Lu Wenjiang spoke and Li Kailang listened, they unknowingly arrived outside the furniture factory.
Once the workers get the goods handover form and confirm that everything is correct, they complete the task.
Then drive out.
"Xiao Li, don't rush back to the factory, go take a walk around." Lu Wenjiang suddenly said.
"Brother, didn't you say before that we shouldn't easily deviate from the original route?" Li Kailang asked doubtfully.
“If your driving skills are average, then this is not wrong. It’s okay as long as you follow the route.
It’s just that your driving skills are no worse than mine now, and the master also specifically asked me to take you to familiarize yourself with the surrounding road conditions.
If we follow the original route, how can we help you get familiar with the surrounding road conditions? "
"The most important thing is that if we follow the route step by step, it will take nearly a month. It is better to take advantage of the time now to walk more, see more, and familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible."
"But doesn't this consume a lot of gasoline? How can we avoid it?" Li Kailang raised the key issue.
"It's okay. The fuel consumption will be borne by me and the master. You don't have to worry about it. You just need to familiarize yourself with the surrounding routes as soon as possible."
After a moment of silence, Li Kailang asked doubtfully, "Brother, I want to know why you arranged this for me?"
After hearing this, Lu Wenjiang was silent for a moment, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and said slowly:
"Xiao Li, it's not the right time to tell you this. You will know it when the time is right. It will do you no good to know it now."
“Master originally planned to train you step by step, but I think you are very talented and it shouldn’t be just like this.
This is something I did on my own initiative, and I hope you can understand that I did this to help the master and to help you at the same time."
The truck fell silent.
"Brother, I understand. I will familiarize myself with the route as soon as possible." Li Kailang nodded.
Lu Wenjiang nodded, exhaled another puff of smoke, took out the map and pointed out the route.
Lu Wenjiang naturally understood that he was a little too impatient for success. However, as long as Li Kailang had not met their requirements, he would not say anything no matter how Li Kailang asked.
Lu Wenjiang knew clearly that his behavior had the tendency to force things to happen, but he firmly believed that as long as Li Kailang did not meet his requirements, he would not reveal any information no matter how Li Kailang asked.
In the past, there was a newcomer with outstanding potential in the transport team, and the team had high hopes for him.
However, because he was told about the cement mission too early, the newcomer took the mission while no one was paying attention and chose that route.
As a result, he was unable to control the overloaded truck and ultimately failed to brake, resulting in the destruction of the vehicle and the death of several people.
It was an almost brand new car, even better than the one Li Kailang was driving now.
The factory has to compensate the new employee's family, but this is just a small matter.
The most important thing is the loss of a new car. To put it bluntly, a car is more valuable than a person.
At that time, many factories had enough funds to purchase vehicles, but they did not have the quota to buy them.
This incident brought a huge shock to the entire transport brigade.
The captains of the two transport teams were held responsible for serious faults, one of whom was Zhang Jinwu.
This incident became a deep pain in Zhang Jinwu's heart and a taboo for the entire transport team.
As long as Li Kailang did not meet the requirements, they would never let Li Kailang try.
After all, safety comes first and he won't joke with his life.
So much so that now he has to do this task personally.
