Chapter 333 New Car

Chapter 333 New Car

After receiving the new book, Li Kailang said goodbye to Jin Jianxian and Yu Xingmei and returned to the courtyard.

At this time, Cui Gang was sitting at the door of his house, looking at the hanging flower gate, looking forward to Li Kailang's return, and anxiously telling him what happened today.

After waiting for a long time, Cui Gang finally heard the sound of a bicycle. He ran out in a hurry and saw Li Kailang pushing the bicycle back.

"Teacher!" Cui Gang said excitedly.

"Xiao Gang, what's the matter?"

"Teacher, let me tell you, today Gu Shi and the others hid far away from me, they were very scared."

Li Kailang listened to Cui Gang's story with a smile, without any impatience at all.

After listening for a while, Cui Gang finally finished talking about what happened today.

Li Kailang patted his head and said, "Remember, we don't cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it."

"Yeah!" Cui Gang nodded heavily.

"Anything else?"

Cui Gang shook his head.

"Then go study. For you now, study is the most important thing. Don't rely on your martial arts to show off and delay your studies."

Cui Gang nodded and went home to study, and Li Kailang also went home.

When a new book is distributed, it is natural to read it briefly to understand what knowledge the new book mainly contains.

The next day, transport team.

After completing the task, Li Kailang read a new book in the car.

Suddenly, there was an unusual noise, followed by a flash of black shadow passing by quickly.

Turning around, I saw an apprentice with sweat all over his forehead, struggling to push a rusty three-wheeled motorcycle, which still had its former glory.

"A motorcycle tricycle? I haven't seen this thing for a long time. How did you get it here?"

Puzzled, Li Kailang called the apprentice, "Hey, Xiao Zhang, where did this car come from?"

The apprentice stopped, wiped the sweat off his face, and explained.

"Master Li, this is an old tricycle over at the cadre building. The leader said it has been broken for many years and asked me to push it to the warehouse, saying it is useless."

"Broken down?" Upon hearing this, Li Kailang walked forward and took a closer look at the motorcycle tricycle.

Although the car body is a bit old, the frame is still strong. "It looks fine, how could it be broken?"

The apprentice shook his head, looking helpless: "I don't know either, but the boss said it's broken and no one wants it anymore."

"No one wants it?" Li Kailang actually wanted this motorcycle.

After all, bicycles are not as comfortable and impressive to ride as motorcycles.

If the motorcycle is repaired and used privately, it can be registered under the name of the transport team.

Even if I can't use it privately, it's not impossible to give it to my master Zhang Jinwu after I repair it.

As for gasoline and other things, a lot of tons were shipped in some time ago, and the transport teams cannot use them all this year.

But the problem is, if it is repaired, what should we do if those leaders want to go back?

“Are you sure those leaders don’t want it?”

"I'm not sure about that. Why don't you go ask Master Li?"

The apprentice looked embarrassed. He was just following orders and was not clear about the specific situation.

Li Kailang: "Okay, I'll go ask later. You can leave the car at our repair shop."

The apprentice nodded and pushed the cart to the maintenance area in the parking lot.

Li Kailang was just about to go find Director Yang to ask about the situation when he happened to come over to inspect the work.

It was said to be an inspection, but in fact he came mainly to see Li Kailang.

"Director Yang, why are you here?"

Director Yang: "I'm here to inspect the work of the various departments in the factory. What can I do for you?"

Li Kailang: "It's like this. An apprentice pushed a scrapped motorcycle tricycle from the cadre building. What's the situation with this vehicle?"

Director Yang smiled heartily and recalled his past with this three-wheeled motorcycle.

"This car was my treasure back then, but it broke down later and I just left it in the cadre building. I didn't expect it would stay there for so long."

"Today I saw the apprentice pushing the tricycle here. Why did you suddenly ask about this tricycle? Are you interested in it?" Director Yang said with a smile.

Li Kailang nodded, "Of course, this bicycle is not as comfortable and majestic as a motorcycle."

Director Yang smiled and said, "Young man, that's enough. I can't use the tricycle right now. If you can fix it, go ahead."

Then he changed the subject, "But it's not that easy for you to drive this motorcycle. You either need to be promoted, graduate from night college, or make outstanding contributions."

Director Yang's conditions are extremely challenging, almost impossible.

The first is promotion. With Li Kailang's current qualifications, it is almost impossible. Even if Zhang Jinwu steps down, it will not be his turn. Contributions are contributions, and qualifications are qualifications.

As for graduating from night university, how could he graduate when he hasn’t even finished compiling the book he wrote for night university?

Finally, as for outstanding contributions, seat belts, brake tanks and other things have all been handed over, and Li Kailang doesn’t have a single invention in his mind now.

Director Yang looked at Li Kailang's embarrassed expression with a smile. He had calculated that it would be impossible for Li Kailang to meet these three requirements in a short period of time.

Director Yang wants to play the long game and keep Li Kailang in the steel rolling mill.

"Director Yang, aren't you making things difficult for me?" Li Kailang said somewhat unhappily.

Director Yang laughed and said, "Haha, I'm not trying to embarrass you on purpose. It's a car after all, and only cadres are eligible for cars."

"You are still an employee now. What will others think if I give you a car?"

Hearing this, Li Kailang understood what Director Yang meant. After all, he was just an ordinary worker now. Even cadres were not qualified to have a car, so what qualifications did he have?

The steel rolling mill is also ruled by Director Yang, who also has the deputy director and the secretary. Even if they agree, what do the other workers think?

Director Yang added: "However, if you repair the tricycle, you can register it with the transport team."

"But you can only use it occasionally. If you want it to be your exclusive car, I can only operate it for you if you meet one of these three requirements."

"Work hard." Director Yang patted Li Kailang on the shoulder and turned to leave.

These three conditions can be met only if one graduates from night university. As long as Li Kailang can graduate successfully and stay at the steel mill, he will be able to meet them.

Director Yang could reward Li Kailang with a motorcycle tricycle on the grounds that he was a college student independently trained by the steel rolling mill.

However, Director Yang gave Li Kailang a shortcut. His status did not allow him to have an exclusive car, but Zhang Jinwu did.

Although Zhang Jinwu is not an administrative-level cadre, he is the captain of the transport team. No one talks about him driving a motorcycle tricycle.

As Zhang Jinwu's apprentice, it wouldn't be a bad idea for Li Kailang to borrow the motorcycle tricycle.

"Haha, Director Yang, you didn't expect that." Li Kailang laughed, "Even if I can't open it, it's good to give it to Master as a gift."

Li Kailang thought and acted. He was not in a hurry to read a book, but turned to go to the repair shop to repair his motorcycle.

Everyone looked at Li Kailang tinkering with the motorcycle tricycle and couldn't help but feel curious.

"Master Li, what are you doing? Are you trying to make a new tricycle?"

"Yeah, wait till I get it out, do you want to try riding it?"

"Okay then. When you're done, please let me ride it first."

"No, I'm making this for my master, so I have to let my master ride it first."

"Captain Zhang, you have a good apprentice. He has not forgotten you as his master even after he graduated. The key is that Master Li is a night college student!"

Everyone couldn't help but look at Zhang Jinwu with envy, praising him for having a good apprentice.

Zhang Jinwu felt a little embarrassed listening to everyone's praise and his face turned slightly red.

He has taught several drivers and more than a dozen apprentices, but he never thought that he could actually teach a college student. It was truly unexpected.

Li Kailang repaired the motorcycle tricycle that Director Yang had discarded without using the time-travel machine.

Li Kailang carefully checked every component of the tricycle, from the engine to the transmission system, from the brake pads to the tire wear.

Li Kailang removed everything that needed to be removed from the car. Fortunately, there was no major problem with the engine, except for a layer of oil and dust.

The aging parts were disassembled one by one, and some were carefully cleaned and prepared for reuse.

Some were replaced decisively due to severe damage.

"This three-wheeled vehicle is not as bad as I imagined." Li Kailang analyzed the condition of the motorcycle tricycle while dismantling it.

It is very likely that these two or three wheels were not discarded because Director Yang broke them down, but that Director Yang had changed to a new jeep.

This tricycle had not been used for a long time and naturally became scrapped and discarded.

This is a benefit to Li Kailang to a certain extent, as he doesn't have to work so hard.

"Maybe this tricycle is not really scrapped, but Director Yang took it out on purpose."

Considering that Li Kailang was about to look for Director Yang and he came over under the pretext of inspection, it is hard not to suspect that Director Yang did it on purpose.

"No matter if it was intentional or not, the things are already in my hands, and there is no reason to return them." Li Kailang muttered to himself.

"All of you apprentices, go and see how Master Li does the repairs. Watch and learn carefully. It will help you with your repairs."

Suddenly, Master Wang called all his apprentices to come and see.

In Master Wang's eyes, Li Kailang's maintenance skills are no worse than his, and may even be better.

Li Kailang did not hide his incompetence from the apprentices who were watching and learning. He dismantled the machine while explaining the reasons and production methods.

After dismantling the parts of the tricycle, only the frame was left. Li Kailang removed the rust from all the parts.

Li Kailang repaired the motorcycle tricycle in the same way he repaired the GAZ-150 before.

After a series of tedious processes such as rust removal, parts replacement, polishing and painting, the three-wheeled vehicle gradually regained new life.

The paint surface with military green and black is low-key yet stable.

In addition, new inner tubes and outer tires were replaced to make the whole car look refreshed.

It is not an easy task for one person to complete such a large project.

"Luckily I drank some tonic the night before, otherwise I would have almost collapsed from such a heavy workload."

After being busy for most of the day, I finally finished repairing the motorcycle tricycle and reassembled it before getting off work.

"It's so new! It feels like new."

One apprentice was curious and wanted to touch it, but was stopped by his companion, "Don't touch Master Li's car."

The whole motorcycle tricycle looks like new.

Li Kailang: "It's okay, the paint is almost dry, you can touch it if you want."

Having said that, everyone just looked at it and didn't touch it.

Seeing this, Li Kailang didn't say anything, but took a gas tank and said, "Come on, please make way, I'll add some gas."

After refueling, Li Kailang started the motorcycle.

The "boom boom boom~" sound of the engine is as loud as a war drum, announcing the rebirth of this three-wheeled vehicle.

Just from the sound of the car, you can tell that the motorcycle tricycle is in good condition and has really been repaired by Li Kailang.

"It works, it works!" The apprentices were extremely surprised. They didn't expect that the motorcycle could actually move.

"Oh my god, Master Li actually fixed it." Even the driver was surprised.

Li Kailang did not get on the bike to try it out. Instead, he looked at Zhang Jinwu and said, "Master, let's try it."

"Okay." Zhang Jinwu was also eager to try it. He had driven many trucks, but this was his first time driving a motorcycle tricycle.

Zhang Jinwu sat directly on the motorcycle tricycle and gripped the accelerator.

"Wait, add me in!" said Master Wang, sitting directly into the truck bed.

Seeing this, Master Zhao, who was standing by, immediately sat on the back seat of Zhang Jinwu's car.

"Alas, it's too late."

"Hold on tight, I'm about to drive!" Zhang Jinwu shouted and stepped on the accelerator.

"Boom, boom, boom--" The three-wheeled motorcycle roared out and whizzed past on the open space.

The military green paint on the car was shining brightly, as if it was speeding past the Forbidden City.

"Speed ​​up, speed up!" Teacher Wang held the handle tightly and shouted loudly.

"Okay!" Zhang Jinwu responded to him with even faster speed.

The whistling wind slapped their faces, but they didn't feel any pain at all.

"Hahahaha——" Master Wang couldn't help but laugh as he felt the speed.

Everyone watched them cheering and envious, and they also wanted to try riding a tricycle.

The three of them rode happily for a while before driving back.

Master Wang's legs were shaking uncontrollably and he couldn't stand up from the truck bed. Fortunately, his apprentice helped him get out.

As soon as he came out, Teacher Wang couldn't help but exclaimed loudly: "Great, great, so comfortable!"

Zhang Jinwu looked at the curious eyes of the drivers and said, "Everyone go and try it."

Suddenly someone grabbed the parking space and rushed out with a bang. The car was running in front, the soul was chasing behind, and black smoke was spewing out.

Amidst laughter and joy, the motorcycle three-wheelers were driven by different people in turn, and every roar was accompanied by cheers and screams from everyone.

"Captain Zhang, congratulations. You will be able to drive this motorcycle in the future. That will be so cool!" Everyone congratulated.

"Yes, there are many cadres in the factory who don't have a car. Captain Zhang has this car, which makes him more powerful than many cadres!"

Zhang Jinwu waved his hands: "No, no, this thing belongs to the factory, how can it be mine? It was Xiao Li who repaired it."

Everyone looked at Li Kailang. "You are worthy of being Master Li. You have such skills at such a young age. You are amazing. This car will be yours sooner or later."

"Oh, no, no, I don't have enough qualifications, how can it be my turn?" Li Kailang replied.

Although he was confident that he could graduate from night school and get a motorcycle, he would not open the champagne at halftime.

Everyone looked at the motorcycle three-wheeler with more or less desire in their eyes. After all, the three-wheeler was a symbol of cadres and it looked very impressive to drive it out.

There are many cadres and leaders in the factory who do not have their own cars, and many of them still ride bicycles.

Zhang Jinwu is self-aware. Although he is the team leader, he is not an administrative cadre. Driving a tricycle will definitely cause gossip among other leaders.

"This car belongs to the factory after all. I think we should just register it under the name of our transport team. Let me know when you want to borrow it."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes flickered, and everyone had their own thoughts.

Zhang Jinwu added: "But it can only be borrowed for emergency situations, such as as a wedding car, or for major events such as sending people to the hospital."

"If you want to ride it normally, you should just drive it for fun in the factory and not drive it outside to avoid causing trouble."

It not only meets everyone's needs, but also avoids unnecessary trouble.

Everyone felt a little embarrassed when their little thoughts were exposed by Zhang Jinwu, but it was good to be able to open the door.

"One more thing. After all, it was repaired by Xiao Li, and it is still registered under the name of our transport team. If any leading cadres come to take it away, please help return it."

After all, it is the property of the steel mill. Even if Director Yang agrees to give it to Li Kailang, it essentially still belongs to the public.

Even if they wanted to recycle and redistribute the materials, Zhang Jinwu had no way to refuse and could only mobilize the masses.

"Of course, this was repaired by our Master Li with great effort. If any cadre dares to come and take it away, I will be the first to beat him up."

"Damn it, they want things from us."

"Me too." Everyone agreed. Once it was registered under the name of the transport team, it became everyone's private property. How could they allow outsiders to take it away?

Even if he is a cadre, what does a cadre have to do with their transport team?
