Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

Inside the Xiao family, Xiao Yun lay on the kang with a leisurely look on his face, his legs crossed and swinging from time to time, looking relaxed and comfortable.

His consciousness had already entered the farmland, and looking at the pile of small yellow croakers and jewelry on the ground, he felt a little confused.

He not only asked himself: "What do you think is the purpose of life?"

Since there is no other talking creature in the space, this question naturally comes to nothing.

But in just a moment, Xiao Yun had planned the application of these treasures.

The most important thing in life is to enjoy life while you can. Although these treasures will be more valuable in the future, it is hard to say whether you can live to see that time.

After all, it is only the early 60s now. By the time we live to the st century, we will be very old.

What’s the use of asking for money then?

As for saving some treasures for your children? Why not wait until the 80s and buy a few courtyard houses in Beijing?

After all, this thing appreciates quickly and is valuable. A set costs hundreds of millions, isn't it more valuable than these jewelry and gold bars?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun immediately decided to deal with a batch of these small yellow croakers when he had the chance.

When I have enough money, it would be a good idea to get a radio at home.

Just as he was thinking, Xiao Yun felt a gentle push beside him. He opened his eyes and saw Su Ming looking at him tenderly.

"What day do you go to work? Do you need to wash your work clothes?" Su Ming asked softly.

"Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year. Our drivers have to go to work a day early to move the inventory out of the factory and bring in some raw materials."

Xiao Yun said seriously, "As for the work clothes, I didn't bring them back. I'll wash them when I wear them back someday."

Su Ming nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll wash other clothes first." As she said that, she picked up a basin and prepared to go out.

Seeing this, Xiao Yun hurriedly stopped him, "Why are you still going outside? The water is so cold. Just wash yourself in the house. There is warm water."

"There's not much warm water, and it's a waste of coal to keep boiling water. It's okay, I always wash outside. It doesn't matter." Su Ming looked casual, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.

Xiao Yun got off the ground, grabbed Su Ming and held him, "Wasting coal? There is no such thing as wasting coal in our family as long as it is used on you. It's just coal, right? I'll buy another 200 kilograms when I get off work tomorrow."

"Just use it with confidence, otherwise I'd be heartbroken if you got frostbite on your hands."

After Xiao Yun finished speaking, he grabbed Su Ming's hand and kissed him.

Su Ming's face turned red immediately. "Hey, what are you doing in broad daylight? I'll listen to you and wash in the house."

As she spoke, she put the basin on the ground and waited for the stove to boil water.

Xiao Yun nodded and pulled Su Ming to sit on the kang. "When I go to work, I will be busy. I may come back late or go out early. It's all possible. So you can just have a normal meal with your teacher. You don't have to wait for me deliberately."

At this time, Coal Ball barked a few times on the ground, as if asking what to do.

Xiao Yun bent down, grabbed the coal ball with both hands and raised it in the air, staring at him and said, "I can't forget you!"

Su Ming hummed, "Okay, then I'll try to save some food for you then."

After they finished talking, they started playing with Coal Ball.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, interrupting the intimate actions of the two people.

"Xiao Yun? Are you home? I'm Liu Haizhong."

Xiao Yun helped Su Ming tidy up his clothes, and then said, "Come in, the door is not locked."

Liu Haizhong responded, pushed open the door and walked in. As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't help but be shocked by the temperature.

"Xiao Yun, is your stove burning well? Are you willing to burn so much coal in broad daylight?"

"Uncle, I feel sorry for my wife having to wash clothes with cold water. Please boil more water. After all, coal is used to serve people. What brings you here this time?" Xiao Yun asked casually.

Liu Haizhong said "oh" and turned his eyes away from the stove, with a mysterious look on his face, "It's like this, I just came back from Director Li's house, he became the deputy director of the factory."

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment, somewhat confused, "So what? Does this have anything to do with you coming to see me?"

Liu Haizhong smiled flatteringly, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Yun, then lit it for Xiao Yun, "Look, Director Li has become the deputy director, so the position of the director of the logistics department is vacant, right?"

As he spoke, he began to recommend himself, "You also know what kind of person I am. I have a very strict family tradition and a unique way of managing the compound. Over the years, no major problems have occurred."

"But I feel that being the manager of a compound still doesn't allow me to fully display my abilities. Do you think I am suitable for that position?"

After just a few words, Xiao Yun understood Liu Haizhong's purpose of coming over. He smoked a cigarette and did not respond in a hurry.

Instead, he recalled the day when he had just traveled through time. If he remembered correctly, Liu Haizhong had also scolded him during the whole school meeting.

Now that he has a better temper and understands human nature, the only thing he has lost is his official position.

If he really became the logistics director of the steel mill, wouldn't he have to go back to his arrogant attitude?

Therefore, before Liu Haizhong begged Xiao Yun to speak for him, Xiao Yun had already rejected this proposal in his heart.

But he couldn't say it clearly.

"Uncle, which position are you suitable for? In my opinion, you are suitable to be a factory director, so what's the big deal about being a director?" Xiao Yun flattered casually.

Liu Haizhong laughed loudly, "Xiao Yun, you are kidding me. I can't be the factory director. I don't have the ability."

"Uncle, don't be too happy too soon. I mean, you are suitable to be the factory director, but I don't understand why you are looking for me? I can't arrange for you to be the factory director."

Liu Haizhong put away his smile and slowly explained: "Xiao Yun, look at what you said. You can't let me be the factory director, but you can let me be the director. You can help me talk to them when the time comes. With your recommendation, I can be a deputy director instead of a director."

"Don't worry, I will not forget you when I become a leader."

Xiao Yun smiled faintly, took two puffs of the cigarette and threw it on the ground to crush it. He felt disbelief and sympathy for Liu Haizhong's IQ.

Speak for him and let him be the leader? Then why don’t I be the leader? Why don’t I speak for myself? Why should I help an outsider?

Therefore, Xiao Yun didn't plan to chat with him any more and prepared to see him off.

"Uncle, it's not that I won't help you. You see, I'm just an ordinary worker, and my words don't carry much weight. Besides, the factory leaders have a formal establishment, so how can it be that easy to get in?"

"If I can become a leader just by saying something, then wouldn't I be more powerful than the leader?"

"So what you said is impossible to achieve. Go back. If you have time, read more books. Who knows, there may still be hope."

Unexpectedly, a look of disdain flashed across Liu Haizhong's face, "Xiao Yun, I treat you as my own, so I'm telling you this. Look at what you said."

"You can't treat me like this just because you've become a leader. Have you forgotten that I helped you clean up the house with our two sons when you got married? Are you turning around and denying me now?"
