Chapter 383 Arriving at the Train Station
When Zhao Shuzhuo heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, full of surprise and relief, and he said happily:
"Really? That's great! You don't know, I was just worried."
"We have only two bullock carts. We don't know how many trips we will have to make to transport so many cabinets back. We don't even know if we can load them all."
"If this little truck can help, it will be a great help to us."
Wang Jianguo restrained his smile slightly, calmed down a little, and continued:
"But it hasn't been completely confirmed yet. I just told the guard about the situation."
"He said he would ask the driver if he had any other work today. If not, he could help us deliver the car."
Zhao Shuzhuo immediately waved his hand, still with a smile on his face, and replied in a relaxed tone:
"It's okay. It doesn't matter if I can't deliver it today. I can deliver it tomorrow."
"Just think about it, if we didn't have this small truck, we wouldn't be able to transport those cabinets back to the village smoothly with our current conditions."
"If we wait to borrow a truck from the commune, we don't know how much trouble it will take, and we don't know when we can get the goods back."
"So no matter what, this is good news. Let's just wait for the news."
Wang Jianguo nodded thoughtfully, his expression became serious, he approached Zhao Shuzhuo and said softly:
"Brother Zhao, I have something to trouble you to go to the security room. I just found out that it seems that you need to sign for the delivery of the goods, after all, it is registered in your name."
Zhao Shuzhuo subconsciously reached out and touched the work ID in his jacket pocket. The movement was skillful and natural, as if he was confirming the existence of an important object.
He raised his head slightly, his eyes firm, and said crisply:
"Okay, let's go."
There was no hesitation or delay in his words.
The two walked side by side, hurriedly heading towards the guard room.
Along the way, Zhao Shuzhuo couldn't help but think of some problems that might be encountered when signing for the goods, and he was silently thinking about how to deal with them.
Wang Jianguo had a smile on his face and seemed confident about taking over the goods.
Soon, they arrived at the guard room. Wang Jianguo took the lead and walked a few steps quickly to the window of the guard room.
With a warm smile on his face, he said to the guard Zhang Lei inside:
"Comrade Zhang Lei, this is Zhao Shuzhuo, the leader of our production team."
When Zhao Shuzhuo heard Wang Jianguo call out the guard's name so naturally, he was slightly stunned and a hint of surprise flashed through his mind.
He thought to himself, Wang Jianguo's social skills are really extraordinary! In just a short period of time, he has become so familiar with the guards at the railway station.
He couldn't help but admire Wang Jianguo a little more, and was also curious about how he managed to quickly establish such interpersonal relationships in this unfamiliar environment.
As soon as Wang Jianguo finished speaking, guard Zhang Lei quickly turned around, reached out and picked up the workbook he had just checked from the table behind him.
His movements were quick and decisive, with a professional inertia that came from doing this kind of work for a long time.
I saw him skillfully turning a page with his fingers. The paper made a slight rustling sound, which was particularly clear in the relatively quiet guard room.
Then, Zhang Lei raised his head, looked at Zhao Shuzhuo calmly and attentively, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone:
"Comrade, please show me your work ID. This is a requirement of our delivery process. We need to verify your identity information. Please understand and cooperate."
When Zhao Shuzhuo heard this, he bent down slightly, reached into his shirt pocket, and fumbled out a small cloth bag that was a little pale from washing.
The corners of the small cloth bag were slightly worn, but Zhao Shuzhuo had kept it very carefully.
He held the small cloth bag in both hands, slowly opened it, and carefully took out his work ID from it.
The movement was gentle and solemn, as if what was being handled was not an ordinary document, but an invaluable treasure.
Seeing this, Zhang Lei bowed slightly and stretched out his hands to take the certificate.
He held the document in front of his eyes and carefully checked the information on it word by word, his eyes focused and serious, not missing any details.
After a moment, he confirmed that everything was correct and handed the certificate back to Zhao Shuzhuo. He pointed to a blank space on the workbook and said:
"Captain Zhao, please sign here. After you sign, I can let you into the station to wait for the goods."
"When waiting in the station, please abide by the relevant regulations and do not walk around at will."
Zhao Shuzhuo took the workbook with both hands, as if he had accepted a sacred mission.
He took out a pen from his jacket pocket, removed the cap, then leaned over slightly and wrote his name carefully, stroke by stroke.
The handwriting was vigorous and powerful, and every stroke revealed his rigorous and serious attitude.
After finishing, he checked it carefully again, and only after confirming that it was correct did he hand the workbook back to the guard.
Guard Zhang Lei lowered his head slightly and scanned the workbook carefully. His focused expression seemed as if he was examining an extremely important document.
After confirming that all the information was correct, he slowly raised his head and nodded gently to Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo who were standing beside him with anticipation.
Then he turned and walked towards the door, gripped the handle of the gate tightly with both hands, and exerted a little force.
With a slight sound of metallic friction, the gate was slowly opened, and the man turned sideways and made a "please" gesture to let the two people enter the train station.
Zhang Lei led the way, followed by Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo, and the three of them walked towards the railway room in the train station.
Along the way, Zhang Lei looked back from time to time and reminded the two to pay attention to the railroad tracks and some obstacles under their feet.
Soon, they arrived in front of the railway house.
Zhang Lei introduced that this house is actually a freight office, and its main function is to be used as a warehouse for loading and unloading goods onto trains.
Then, Zhang Lei took the lead and stepped into the house, followed by Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo. As soon as they entered the house, the scene inside came into view.
It can be seen that the facilities in the house are extremely simple. In the center is a slightly old table with an uneven surface, which seems to tell of the long years it has gone through.
In the corner of the room, there was a simple bed. The bed board looked a bit thin, and it was covered with a quilt that was a bit faded from washing.
In another corner, there is a coal stove that emits a slight warmth. The coal balls in the stove are burning quietly, adding a touch of warmth to this slightly cold room.
At this time, they noticed that there was an old man in his fifties lying on the bed.
The old man had a thin face, his hair was a little gray and messy, and his eyes were half-closed, as if he was resting.
