In 1964, the third quarter transportation mission began, and all transporters traveled long distances to deliver goods.

Nowadays, there are more transporters and fewer trucks, and Xue Ming is too lazy to go out for long distances.

So he gave his No. 2 truck to three young men, Niu Guoxing, Hong Minglei and Liu Hongwei.

I come to the transportation office every day to catch fish, pick up my wife from get off work in the morning and evening, and accompany her to department stores or People's Park when I have time.

Zhao Xue is very happy and is very happy to have her husband by her side every day.

She also doesn’t want her husband to go on a long-distance transport mission and be unable to return home for at least three days.

Until late July, Xue Ming didn't receive a reply from his uncle. I don't know if he had received the good news.

On July 25, the transportation tasks of the third quarter were completed, and the transporters returned to the team one after another.

Xue Ming went to the Finance Bureau to get his monthly salary. On the morning of the 29th, all the transport crews returned to the team, and Xue Ming paid everyone their salary.

The new transporters who received their wages were all smiling, and the old transporters left early after lunch.

The transportation for this quarter has been completed, and there is nothing to do in the unit.

Xue Ming locked his office and went into the space to harvest wheat. The urea in his hand had been used up. Without urea, the grain yield was very low, which made him in no mood to continue farming.

The new transporters didn't dare to leave early, so they all stayed in the office of the third transport department chatting.

Hong Minglei clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Salaries are paid today. Everyone has not forgotten the agreement at the beginning of the month."

"I didn't forget it." Niu Guoxing said, taking out five yuan from his pocket and handing it to Hong Minglei.

Liu Hongwei, who was next to him, also gave him five yuan. At the beginning of the month, everyone agreed that after their wages were paid, everyone would spend five yuan to buy a gift for the principal.

Hong Minglei collected the money while keeping accounts, and Guo Aimin exchanged the money with a little distress, "Brother Minglei, what gift should we buy for the principal?"

"The watch is exactly 150 yuan. We paid the principal to issue the ticket. The watch was broken when the principal saved the girl who fell into the water last time."

Hong Minglei wrote Guo Aimin's name on his notepad. After finishing writing, he suddenly thought of something.

He took out five dollars from his pocket and gave it to him, "I know your family's situation, and I've paid for your money."

Guo Aimin is Xie Yongzheng's nephew and the youngest among the new transporters.

My father has passed away, and my mother relies on her meager salary to support the family.

"Thank you, Brother Honglei. My mother supports me in exchanging money to buy gifts for the principal." Guo Aimin handed the money to Hong Minglei.

When he applied for an intern job, he was not old enough. It was Xue Ming who coordinated with his leadership to give him the opportunity to become a transporter.

"Let me help you out. The principal will scold me to death if he knows that you also exchange money." Hong Minglei directly stuffed the money into his pocket.

Guo Aimin was a little touched. The money was given by Hong Minglei, but Guo Aimin's name was written on the gift note.

The fund-raising operation went smoothly, and everyone thought of Xue Ming. Although five yuan was a lot, it could not fulfill the principal's kindness.

Hong Minglei checked the list and found that Huang Xujiang was missing. "Old Huang, please get the money. I'm only missing five yuan from you to buy a watch for the principal."

"My family is poorer than Aimin's family, so you should also pay for my money, thank you." Huang Xujiang said with a smile.

Hong Minglei frowned, "Old Huang, what do you mean? Your parents are both workers. How can you be poorer than Aimin's family?"

"I have many brothers and sisters, and their salary is not enough. Minglei, your family is rich. If you can help Guo Aimin, why can't you help me?" Huang Xujiang asked, spreading his hands.

"I can help whoever I want to help, and I can't help whoever I don't want to help. The exchange of money was agreed upon at the beginning, why do you go back on your word?" Hong Minglei was angry.

In the space, Xue Ming finished harvesting wheat, took a hot shower, changed clothes and returned to the office to go home. Suddenly he heard a fierce knock on the door and got up to open the door.

"Hong Minglei and Huang Xujiang are fighting. Principal, go and have a look." Niu Guoxing looked anxious.

"Why are you fighting?" Xue Ming frowned and stared at Niu Guoxing.

"It's a long story, principal. Go and take a look. He's bleeding." Niu Guoxing grabbed Xue Ming's sleeve.

"Let them come to see me immediately. I want to see someone in five minutes."

Xue Ming threw Niu Guoxing away and returned to the office, thinking that these naughty kids deserved to be dealt with.

A group of people arrived within five minutes. Hong Minglei had toilet paper stuffed in his nose and his nose was bleeding.

Huang Xujiang's body was covered in mud, the left corner of his mouth was smashed, and there was a large piece of black and blue skin on his right face.

"Okay, you guys are really good at it. You can't beat me in a fight on the highway, but I'm pretty good at beating my own people. It's like a rat's den is full of enemies." Xue Ming punched the table.

The two of them lowered their heads, not daring to look at Xue Ming. Huang Xu kept rubbing the corners of his mouth, wanting to quibble but not daring to speak.

The toilet paper in Hong Minglei's nostril fell off, and a stream of nosebleed flowed out. Niu Guoxing quickly gave him the toilet paper.

"Why are they fighting?" Xue Ming stared at Liu Hongwei. His cousin was an honest man and would not lie.

Liu Hongwei didn't dare to look up at his cousin. He lowered his head and said that everyone exchanged five yuan to buy gifts.

Xue Ming became angry before he finished speaking. He punched the desk with his fist again, took out a stack of ten-yuan bills and slapped it on the table.

"I have plenty of money. There is no need for you to exchange money to buy me a watch! Hong Minglei, I will refund the money to whomever you took. I will refund it now." Xue Ming smiled angrily.

None of the thirty transporters dared to say a word. Judging from the thickness of the stack of ten-dollar bills, it should be a thousand yuan, but it was a thousand yuan.

Hong Minglei took out the money from his pocket and was about to return it to everyone. The toilet paper fell out of his nose and nosebleed. Niu Guoxing hurriedly helped him return the money.

Except for Huang Xujiang and Guo Aimin, who each received a refund of five yuan, the remaining ten yuan was stuffed into Hong Minglei's pocket.

"Huang Xujiang and Hong Minglei will stay, Niu Guoxing will drive the No. 2 truck, and everyone else will go back. You can repay me by not causing trouble for me." Xue Ming couldn't help but sigh.

Everyone left the office one after another, and Xue Ming took the fighting parties to the Second People's Hospital of the provincial capital.

Hong Minglei is the director of the First People's Hospital, and he doesn't want to make the matter a big deal.

Hong Minglei and Huang Xujiang didn't say a word. They checked when they were asked and bandaged when they were asked. They were even better behaved than good babies.

In the end, Xue Ming paid the medical bills. It was only a skin injury and it didn't cost much. After treating the wounds, he took them back to the unit.

"You two each write a three thousand word examination and you will read it out to me at the meeting the day after tomorrow. Get out of here." Xue Ming waved his hands and couldn't help but sigh.

"I'm sorry, principal, I shouldn't have fought with Huang Xujiang."

"Principal, it's all my fault."

"Get out of here, get out of here."

Xue Ming lit a cigarette and went back to the office, locked the door and entered the space, feeling a little dumbfounded.

"These naughty kids, the reason for the fight was to exchange money to buy me a watch. I hope this matter ends."

Xue Ming left the space and rode to the department store to buy the best watch for 150 yuan and 100 industrial tickets.

I was not in the mood to go to work the next day. When I was cooking in the afternoon, Wang Xianbang came over with his wife for a visit. His wife's right eye was red and swollen.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with your eyes?" Xue Ming asked hurriedly.

"I got smoked while burning firewood for cooking. Ninth brother, when will our coal book come down? It's been three months." Wang Xianbang said.
