"Brother Cui, let's put it this way. We are all family, so there is no need for us to beat around the bush. I am just a makeshift team, and my biggest business is a few restaurants. Since you don't like managing restaurants, you can only be assigned to a team. One is to lead a team of horse-drawn carriages to nearby counties to transport coal to power plants. It doesn't matter if you don't have a carriage, you are responsible for the management of the carriages, mainly to prevent wild animals along the way and some people who want to steal coal. The basic salary is 60 yuan a month, with a commission of 0.3 yuan per vehicle, and food and accommodation are provided. Normally, you can still make 130 or 140 yuan a month."

In fact, Cui Yongchuan also learned about the big horse cart pulling coal yesterday, which he really couldn't do. Li Shaoling and Li Erlu were able to do it easily because they were both experts in the industry, proficient in the nature of horses, and both were masters. It would be difficult for him, an outsider, to do this.

"Boss, I just want to be a tractor driver. I don't have too high requirements. Seventy or eighty yuan a month is enough to support my family and have some money left for my father's medicine."

"It's a hard job to be a tractor driver. I often travel to surrounding cities and counties, and there are also considerable risks. I have four days off a month, and I work ten hours a day, responsible for driving, loading and unloading. Food and accommodation are provided, and the monthly salary is 120 yuan, and bonuses are not included. The team will pay for the medical expenses of those injured on duty."

Cui Yongchuan agreed without thinking: "I agree, this treatment is already quite good. My original salary was 40 yuan."

As for hard work, it’s not hard to do anything, and there’s no risk in doing anything. Lying down is not hard, and there’s no risk in lying down. It’s a pity that no one pays for it.

"I just happened to have a new car, and I wanted to try out your skills."

Liu Xia Lian brought Brother Cui to the tractor training ground of the forest farm and drove over her newly purchased small four-wheeler.

Brother Cui drives very steadily, he is an experienced driver. Even if it is a new car, he has to check it before driving, including tire pressure, truck bed connection, and under the car. Why is it so troublesome? Because there are lessons to be learned. In this era, tractors are rare. Some children are naughty and run under the car to sleep or play. Once an accident occurs, it will be a big problem. Therefore, it is necessary to check the car.

After several difficult maneuvers such as reversing and turning, Liu Xialian gave him a thumbs up and praised him: "Brother Cui has excellent skills. Go back and pack up, take your luggage and belongings, and come to work tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you boss. I'll go home to get my luggage and bedding." Brother Cui turned and left.

Liu Xialian took out three hundred yuan and said, "I'll lend you this first. You can pay me back after you get your salary. It's too troublesome to take an advance. The finance department has to approve it, and I have to approve it."

Brother Cui's eyes instantly turned red. In fact, he mustered up the courage to come to Xu Shiba. He was a man with strength and skills, but he was not good at speaking, and he would not give cigarettes or alcohol. His old father was sick and spent a lot of money. His two children were three or four years old, and one of them had a headache and fever, so he didn't even have money to buy a pill.

Because of this, the daughter-in-law often had fights with him and was definitely scolded.

He has been looking for a job for half a month, but the salary is 40 yuan a month. His father needs about 40 yuan a month for medical expenses. His wife is taking care of the children and doesn't work. How can they live like this?

"Okay, boss. I'll go back first and come back early tomorrow morning."

Cui Yongchuan and his wife were registered in the county town, and they had a company-run apartment in the city. The family of four lived in a 40-square-meter tube-shaped building. The house was very small. The entrance was originally a living room, but it was changed into a bedroom with a bunk bed. The two children slept in the living room.

The lighting and ventilation are average. Of course, many units and families in this era are similar. Life is hard, but full of hope and happiness.

When he reached the gate of the community, Cui Yongchuan spent six yuan to buy a roast chicken, which was quite big and weighed three pounds. He also bought some steamed buns and went home happily, sweeping away the gloom of the past, with a face full of joy, humming a little song and going home happily.

When I opened the door, I saw two children drawing.

"Look what Dad brought you." Cui Yongchuan took out the roast chicken hidden behind him.

"Wow, there's roast chicken to eat, thanks, Dad." The two kids started eating happily.

My daughter-in-law Xiaolan came out of the kitchen and asked in surprise: "Why did you buy a roast chicken for the child?"

"The day before yesterday, the two kids wanted to eat roast chicken, but not only did I not buy it for them, I also beat them up. Now I regret it very much. I found a job and my boss advanced some money. I'll give it all to you." Cui Yongchuan said as he handed two hundred and eighty yuan to Xiaolan.

Xiaolan took the money in surprise and said, "No, it doesn't matter if you're poor. Just don't do anything bad. If you get caught, how will we survive?"

"What are you talking about? Didn't I tell you that I have a comrade named Xu who has become rich? He owns the Linyi Fried Chicken restaurant in the county town. I had no other choice but to go find him. He introduced me to a job driving a tractor for his boss. It's 120 yuan a month, and it can be even more with bonuses. The boss saw that I was in urgent need of money, so he gave me an advance of 300 yuan, and I will pay him back when I get paid."

"Then you have met a good person. Your comrade is really loyal."

"Go back to the village tomorrow and give 40 yuan to Dad. Then give another 40 yuan to the child's grandparents. Save the remaining 200 yuan for your living."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll take care of it. Wait another two years, and when the kids go to kindergarten, I'll be able to find a job, and then I'll have some income to help you out. You play with the kids, I'll cook a couple of dishes, and you can have a drink later."

It is said that money is a man's backbone. He was scolded by his wife a few days ago, but today she cooked two dishes for him and even let him drink something. Rich men are handsome no matter how you look at them, and men without money are nothing.

"I won't drink anymore. I used to drink because I was worried about finding a job. Today, my new boss told me to work hard and if the business develops, everyone will get a higher income. You can't drink while driving, so I won't drink anymore."

Let’s not talk about Cui Yongchuan’s preparations for tomorrow’s luggage, just talk about Sister Wei’s fruit and vegetable store in the provincial capital, which is very busy today.

The area around the Transportation Bureau dormitory is full of residential areas, and they are particularly valuable residential areas, such as the Commerce Department dormitory, the Forestry Department dormitory, the Education Commission dormitory, etc. Sister Wei likes to play cards and is familiar with them. She has a total of about 300 watermelons and sells more than 200 a day.

As for the prickly ash buds, they were so popular that they sold more than 1,500 kilograms a day. There was only a little left in the afternoon. When Mr. Xie came back and saw the buckets of money, he was scared. He made a year's worth of money in one day.

Sister Wei took a long time to count the money and sighed, "How dare Xia Lian lend me money on credit? If it were me, I wouldn't have the courage to do that."
