Siheyuan: Starting from a Truck Driver

Wang Zhixin suppressed his inner excitement: "Thanks to Uncle Zhou's cultivation, I..."

Instructor Zhou waved his hand: "Don't be impatient, don't be happy too soon."

After that, he stood up, closed the door, sat down again, lit a cigarette, and continued: "I have a good relationship with your father, and you are also an honest person.

I'm not going to beat around the bush.

You will have to wait a little longer for this progress.

Although you have a good background, you have only been at the police station for a short time and your performance has been mediocre.

Even if I recommend you, the higher-ups won't approve it easily.

What's more, even if you are promoted to vice-captain.

The players below will not be convinced either.

How will you carry out your work in the future?

Besides, Lao Lu has been a local police officer for so many years, and even if he has not made any significant contributions, he has made long-term contributions.

Let him go first this time. You are young and there will be plenty of opportunities for promotion in the future."

Although Wang Zhixin was dissatisfied in his heart, he nodded in tacit agreement.

He knew that what the instructor said made sense.

In order to advance, connections, performance and qualifications are essential.

It was because he successfully brought back the venerable from the steel plant a few days ago and assisted the Municipal Bureau in solving a major case that he got the opportunity to have this conversation.

"I understand. I will definitely try my best to achieve better results in a short time!"

The instructor was relieved by Wang Zhixin's understanding.

Being a leader is really not easy!

...

Leaving the instructor's office, Wang Zhixin smiled bitterly and shook his head.

How can we achieve new achievements?

As a small police officer, he mostly dealt with trivial matters like Mr. Wang from the east family beating his wife or Ms. West family losing her cat.

As for capturing enemy spies, these matters are handled by the professional departments of the Municipal Bureau.

It seems that I can only wait patiently until my daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, then maybe I will have a chance to get promoted.

Thinking this in his mind, Wang Zhixin reluctantly accepted the reality and walked quickly towards the door of the police station.

The weather station predicted that a cold wave was coming, and he needed to notify people to take precautions against the cold and keep warm.

Just as he took two steps, the local police officer Xiaobiao came running over.

He shouted to Wang Zhixin, "Brother Wang, there's a big truck outside, and the driver specifically asked for you."

"Big truck? Driver?" Wang Zhixin was stunned for a moment, then he remembered He Yushui's neighbor's brother.

He was filled with gratitude towards the driver and instructed his cousin, "Please tell Vice Captain Wang about the promotional activities in Nantongluo Lane. I will go there right away to handle it."

Walking out of the police station, Wang Zhixin saw Li Xiaodong leaning on the car seat with one foot on the window.

Truck drivers are more comfortable.

Wang Zhixin walked up quickly and said with a smile, "Brother Xiaodong, how come you have time to come here?"

Li Xiaodong jumped out of the truck and announced, "I brought you a wedding gift!"

"Wedding gift?" Wang Zhixin was a little confused.

His wedding with He Yushui is scheduled for next spring. Isn't it a bit early to send a gift now?

When Li Xiaodong opened the car door and saw the four people tied up like dumplings, Wang Zhixin became even more confused.

This driver was too cruel. He kidnapped the person and planned to send him to the fence?

Wang Zhixin quickly reminded him kindly: "Brother Xiaodong, how did these people offend you? It is illegal to tie them up privately. Take them away quickly and find a safe place to release them."

...

On a cold winter evening, the wind is so biting that even water can freeze instantly.

Hearing this, the four people in the car struggled desperately and tried to get closer.

They shouted loudly: "Don't take us away, we are gas thieves, we need to go to the police station..."

Are you kidding? They are freezing.

The truck was circling in the cold wind and could have an accident at any time.

Moreover, although this young driver looks handsome, his memory seems to be not very good.

In case they are forgotten on the truck again...

When faced with a thorny fence, saving your life is obviously more important.

Wang Zhixin gasped after hearing the news and looked at Li Xiaodong in disbelief: "Are they, are they really the oil thieves?"

"Didn't you hear everything just now?"

"That's not right. Oil thieves are very cunning. Even if they are caught, they will not easily admit it." Wang Zhixin frowned, looking confused. "How can anyone say loudly that I am an oil thief?"

Chao Sanpao, with an icicle hanging from his nose, yelled at the top of his lungs: "Are you a policeman? Why are you so stupid? My name is Chao Sanpao, and this is Haozi Zhang, Sun Erlu, and Shouhou. We have a jar under our bed in Juhua Hutong in the west of the city. There is 20 liters of gasoline in it. You can check it out and you will know."

Anyway, the fence is stable and it's warmer inside than outside.

The skinny monkey's lips trembled from the cold: "Yes, my brother has plenty of money."

...Well, it turns out to be an oil thief.

Although he didn't understand why the oil thief was so stupid, Wang Zhixin was so excited that his palms were sweating.

This is a great achievement!

"Um, Brother Xiaodong, are you going to give me the credit?"

Wang Zhixin quietly pulled Li Xiaodong aside and handed him a cigarette. Li Xiaodong took a deep puff, looked at him meaningfully, and smiled: "We are family, if I don't help you, who else can I help!"

"Oh, you are really a good brother to me and Yu Shui." Wang Zhixin said excitedly.

Before, because of He Yushui's family background and unreliable brother, his family had wanted to arrange a blind date between the young police officer and the daughter of Director Wang in the bureau.

Wang Zhixin and He Yushui had a deep relationship and they firmly opposed it and even went on a hunger strike in protest, which is how they withstood the pressure.

Now, Yu Shui’s neighbor brother has actually helped him accomplish a great feat.

Let them have something to say!

"Okay, you're a good boy, be nicer to Yu Shui in the future!" Li Xiaodong took this opportunity to finalize the matter, patting him on the shoulder heavily: "If Yu Shui comes home crying, I will drive a truck and demolish your tube-shaped building."

“...That won’t work, absolutely not!” Wang Zhixin shuddered when he saw Li Xiaodong’s imposing manner and quickly made a promise.

He thought for a moment, looked around, and lowered his voice and said, "I'm investigating the matter you asked me to do. I will definitely investigate those guys thoroughly."

Originally, Wang Zhixin planned to find a random excuse to deal with it, but after seeing Li Xiaodong's performance, he decided to bring a fish to visit his second uncle in the evening.

This is the reason why Li Xiaodong gave up the reward he had obtained.

To the drivers, these oil thieves may only earn them a few words of praise, but to the police officers, it is a stepping stone for promotion.

【All interpersonal relationships are essentially exchanges. 】

Li Xiaodong patted his shoulder heavily: "I feel relieved when you are here. I am going back to the team. You can handle the rest by yourself!"

Li Xiaodong abandoned Chao Sanpao and the others on the side of the road, handed the iron oil barrel and the gun to Wang Zhixin, and then drove away.

Wang Zhixin looked at the struggling Chao Sanpao and a sneer appeared on his lips.

He shouted to the workshop: "Hurry up, help me, I caught a few oil thieves with your help."

...

When we returned to the convoy, night had already fallen.

The drivers returned one after another, and the mechanics did not leave work either, sitting around a big iron pot to keep warm.

The fragrant smell of meat made everyone salivate.

Although the drivers are well paid and receive occasional subsidies, they usually don't want to eat meat.

Shan Xiaolin said: "Xiaodong may be dining out with friends, let's start enjoying it!"

The driver, Xiao Wang, agreed: "Yes, I am almost starving."

"Clang clang clang!"

Niu Meng knocked hard on the lid of the large iron pot and announced loudly: "The master has not returned yet, no one is allowed to open the lid without permission."

Shan Xiaolin curled his lips. He also hoped to have such a good disciple.

At this moment, a cheerful voice came from outside the door: "Hey, everyone is waiting for me!"

Li Xiaodong walked into the room and found that everyone's eyes were focused on the big iron pot, and his Adam's apple kept rolling up and down.

"Sorry, I'm back late, Niu Meng, it's time to start cooking."

"Okay!" Niu Meng opened the lid of the pot.

As the lid of the pot was opened, the rich aroma of meat instantly filled the entire repair workshop.

The aroma is mellow, with a spicy stimulation, like an iron clamp tightly grasping everyone's stomach and intestines, and then going around in eighteen bends.

"Gudong gudong", the swallowing sounds came one after another.

The old chef Uncle Zhang picked up a piece of red meat with chopsticks and put it directly into his mouth without caring about the steam.

Fox meat is lean but not tough, and is very chewy, making you unable to stop chewing!

As if before I could taste it, a large piece of meat had disappeared deep in my throat.

"it is good!"

Uncle Zhang exclaimed in admiration, licking his lips with satisfaction.

Niu Meng was in charge of distributing the food. Each person got a small box, but in less than the time it took to smoke a cigarette, even the soup at the bottom of the bowl was licked clean.

When Shan Xiaolin saw that Li Xiaodong’s lunch box was full, he was about to express his opinion, but was stopped by Niu Meng’s eyes.

Although it was called a dinner party, the fox weighing seven or eight kilograms was not enough to fill everyone's stomach.

The drivers brought various ingredients such as black fungus, coriander, celery, and Chinese cabbage and put them into the pot.

Li Xiaodong was stunned.

These drivers are just like little hamsters storing food!

When Shan Xiaolin took out a big black thing from somewhere, Li Xiaodong was stunned. After thinking for a moment, he became restless.

Isn’t this just a banana that has been frozen black on the outside?

Bananas were a rare commodity during this period.

The supply and marketing cooperative had no stock, and the price on the black market was as high as more than two yuan per catty, which was enough to buy three or four catties of meat.

Ordinary people simply cannot afford it, and only those who often go to Lao Mo have the opportunity to taste it.

Shan Xiaolin wanted to throw the banana into the pot, but was stopped by Li Xiaodong.

"Can this kind of thing be eaten after it's cooked?"

Shan Xiaolin pursed his lips and smiled, "I just came back from Guangzhou. I have eaten all the dry food in the car, and only have half a box of bananas left. It's getting late now, and there is no place to buy steamed buns."

Li Xiaodong stared at the banana, thought for a moment, took out two steamed buns from under the truck seat and handed them to Shan Xiaolin.

“This is real food.”

"Hey, after tasting your fox meat, let me give you some steamed buns. I'm going to make a fortune today." Shan Xiaolin cut the steamed buns into slices, put them on the black iron pan, and stood aside swallowing his saliva.

Li Xiaodong touched him gently and asked: "How much does a pound of bananas cost in Guangzhou?"

"It's free. A local gave it to me. They had a bumper banana harvest this year, but a lot of them rotted in the fields," explained Shan Xiaolin.

Oh, this is a good opportunity!

If we could transport bananas back to the capital in large quantities, wouldn't it be a huge source of income?

It is winter now, and the bananas shipped back will be frozen into black. Ordinary people cannot afford them, and the rich don't even like them.

Therefore, Shan Xiaolin chose to ask the driver to bring some local specialties that are easy to preserve. As for bananas, they had to be used to go with steamed buns.

But Li Xiaodong has a space warehouse that can keep food fresh at zero degrees.

As expected, those who work hard on their own will always stand out wherever they go.

Li Xiaodong already had a plan in mind.
