Paternity

Chapter 156

"Old Su, turn around later and leave from Fengyang County. I'll bring something for my friend."

Upon seeing the traffic signs, Xu Lei in the co-pilot casually advised Su Aobai who was beside him.Su Aobai understood, it should be Xu Lei who took the extra money personally.

This is also an unspoken rule of the truck driver business.

Before the reform and opening, some small factories had to look for large factories to replace their cars. Often when a large factory wants to ship the goods, they will help pick up some when everything is going well. However, most of the leaders of small factories have a blink of an eye.When the driver comes to the factory to load the goods, he will treat the driver of a good meal, or give some advantage to a pack of cigarettes, he will give some benefit to the driver, so that drivers can keep the goods in their place.At that time Even if there are benefits, they are limited, anyway they do something for the public.

Different since the reform and opening. Several private factories have opened, but they are still in their infancy. They also face the dilemma of inadequate transportation. They are trying to find a way to get in touch with truck drivers from large factories that often drive long distances. A pack of cigarettes and food can solve the problem. All they give is cash. According to the distance and the number of goods, this is, say less than ten or twenty, and more, and you can get tens of dollars Sometimes In the case of a small amount of goods from our factory loaded on trucks, truck drivers can get hundreds of dollars to commute, which is more than their own job.

How else can you say that truck drivers are a favorite in this era.

It's just that his original body didn't travel long distances before, and just took a walk around. This kind of extra money does not make much money. Even so, it can be up to tens or even more than a hundred.

According to the tacit rules of the transportation team, even though Xu Lei took over the private work, Su Aobai and him were in the same car, and Su Aobai had to share the labor costs.

This actually violates the rules, but if anyone reports, it is guaranteed, but if anyone dares to report it is the same as offending the entire transportation team, but they are all people who are not easily messed around. it's not easy to drive long distances this year. Everyone has shared it privately. I'm afraid these long-distance drivers are all picking up knives and seeing blood. No one dared to do it. Offend them badly.

Su Aobai had memories of his real body, coupled with so many experiences in life, he also knew that such things were unavoidable, and he couldn't just look at it from a black and white perspective whether it was illegal or not, so he adapted pretty quickly.

In less than an hour, he drove a heavy truck from the Yellow River, which was emitting black smoke, to Fengyang County. According to Xu Lei's instructions, he came to a small factory that looked small., Someone was waiting at the factory gate early, and when they saw their truck, they immediately opened the gate.

Su Aobai stopped the car and turned off the engine, following Xu Lei to get out of the car.

"Rest and wait until they load."

Xu Lei said a few words to Su Aobai, then walked towards the figure that looked like the factory boss, both of them stood in a corner and muttered, then saw the boss stuffing something into Xu Lei's pocket.

Su Aobai also did not take a closer look, as Xu Lei after all would not take his share.

He had just found a chair and was sitting in a place that was sheltered from the wind and could see their loading process clearly. After all, there were still items from his own factory in the car. It doesn't matter if you add more stuff, but if you're short on some of your own stuff, it'll be a hassle.

To be honest, driving was exhausting, even if Su Aobai had the memory experience of his original body, the current was a bit excessive.

First, the road conditions in this era are not good, there are almost no flat or asphalt cement roads, many roads are full of holes and muddy roads, there are even uphill and downhill mountain roads. the vehicle function is very bad. Sitting in the car, his ass would be shaken, not to mention the heating and cooling functions that are not available in the car right now. Even in the twelfth month, even if he wore gloves and drove for half a day, his fingers were almost numb from the cold.

"give."

Just when Su Aobai was feeling uncomfortable sitting, and was about to stand up and take a walk, and move his legs and feet, Xu Lei came over with an enamel cup, which contained hot tea, and was about to take a walk, with browned green tea leaves floating and descending.

Su Aobai took out one of the cups from her hand, feeling the boiling heat in her palm, she suddenly stretched her body, sipped tea, there were many tea leaves, the taste was very strong, she was very strong, and he's getting fresh soon.

"Fill the kettle with hot water before leaving later."

Su Aobai quickly reminded them that there was a kettle inside their car.

"Do you still need to remind me?"

Xu Lei rolled his eyes, he was an old driver.

“This company makes nylon. Whatever the size of the factory, the business is very good. In addition to our fleet, it also has connections with fleets from other factories. In the south alone, it must deliver goods at least four or five times a month. Goods are paid once. This number."

Xu Lei drew closer to Su Aobai's ears, and gestured a few fingers before her eyes.

Judging from his expression, this number was definitely not as simple as two or three digits. After all, if you ask them to deliver the goods, the cost of the profit will be tens of dollars. Judging from his experience in his previous life, Su Aobai probably guessed that Xu Lei Gestures were thousands.

Excluding the cost, the monthly profits of this seemingly inconspicuous factory might reach tens of thousands.This is a huge number that left people dumbfounded in the 1980s.

Su Aobai also showed a shocked expression working together.

Xu Lei liked to see people showing expressions like this that had never seen the world. In the past, the people driving with him were all old people like him. How could Su Aobai support him, which made him want to vent.

"However, such a factory can't really open without support."

Xu Lei showed a secret expression.

Do not look at reform and openness now, many places still can not fully liberalize this policy, after all many people are afraid in those years. .

Moreover, opening their own factories, where to do the formalities, what procedures to do, how to get orders under large state-owned factories, these are not things that ordinary people can do, he said, so even though many people know this is a big piece of fat just being able to watch, can't get started.

"The owner of this factory is surnamed Yang. He said that the south now needed more goods, but their policy was better there, and local factories were opening up more and more. If you can buy an item, why buy it from it? Belonging to the advantage here is the cheap labor cost, which keeps the price down. Now there are many small factories in the south, and the wages of workers are much higher than ours. . "

"Boss Who would like us to send more shipment for him, but our delivery is all based on order from our own factory, so how can we arrange it casually? Hey, I hope our factory will deliver more goods outside. You can transfer tens of dollars by bringing something to someone else, and if you drive a few more times, it is much higher than your salary.

What Xu Lei said was also the aspiration of many people in the transportation team Compared to the extra money, their salaries were too flashy.

However, Xu Lei only complained of a few words, and the order at the factory was not set to his liking, on the other hand, Su Aobai looked at the dilapidated truck not far from there, showing a serious expression.

*****

Riding a long distance car is a tiresome and tedious process. Along the way, the two took turns driving. They only stop and rest when the weather and road conditions are bad, or the engine overheats after driving for a long time While driving, while driving, both will not rest at the same time One must always be awake in case of people stealing goods or solar.

The law and order in this era was really bad, and I met some groups of thieves along the way, luckily Xu Lei and Su Aobai were vigilant people, he said, so there's no loss.

Right now, Xu Lei had changed slightly towards Su Aobai. In the past, she and Su Aobai had never cooperated, and all she knew about him was from the dictation of others. He only knew that Su Aobai was a fool who could not handle Dan's family affairs, and he was still a lazy drinker, he said, the reason why he was able to stay on the transport team was all because of his skill in repairing cars.

But now, after most of the journey, he had never seen Su Aobai sip wine, sometimes he was really hungry, so he opened the urn he was carrying, took a sip of it, and considered it an addiction.

In fact, most people today have no concept of drunk driving, and there are no traffic police on the road to check drunk driving, but just overrated.

Seeing that he smelled wine like a gluttonous cat, Xu Lei also said that if he was really addicted, he would drink a few sips, but Su Aobai refused, saying that if he was really addicted to it, saying that if she takes her first sip, she will stop drinking after that. They don't stay in the car, and alcohol is confusing. They got out of the car together. If something happens, it will involve him.

This greatly changed Xu Lei's view of Su Aobai. He felt that Su Aobai really liked to drink, but this person had a sense of proportionality. He knows when to drink alcohol and when not to drink it. Xu Lei's morality was completely in line with Xu Lei's Appetite.

So on the next trip, the two became increasingly speculative, and Xu Lei also generously shared many of her own long-distance driving experiences.

But even so, in the second half of the journey, the dialogue between the two is diminishing.

Because I was tired, my nerves were tense most of the time. Even if I fall asleep, I dare not sleep too hard. I was afraid that my colleague was in trouble and could not wake me up when I fell. Fall asleep Rao Su Aobai, who had some experience of a lifetime, was unable to wake me up, People with stronger mental strength also had dry and red eyeballs at this time, and their eyes were black and blue, respectively, and their minds are full of thoughts about waiting for the delivery to be done and sleeping soundly.

Currently, Xu Lei was driving, and Su Aobai was sitting on the co-pilot's seat, narrowing her eyes and taking a nap, when she was half asleep and half awake, suddenly there was a shrill brake sound, the upper body rushed forward, its head Almost hitting the windshield.

trouble happened!

Su Aobai instantly woke up, opened his eyes and looked ahead warily.

This was a dilapidated country road, with dense reeds on both sides, which had been for years untreated, The clumps were taller than humans, growing bushy, thick, and you can't see the end at a glance.

As for the front, there was no one there, and it looked normal.

"Take the guy."

Xu Lei's expression was very serious, and he had a very different face from the person who spoke and laughed in the past. This was the first time Su Aobai had seen him show such an expression. He had never looked so ugly when he met a small, oil-thieving gang before. .

"wrong!"

Just as Su Aobai was about to turn around and go to the back seat to pick up the knife, Xu Lei instead put down his knife, stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward.

Due to the softness, Su Aobai leaned back.

There was some gas noise, as if something was stuck in a pneumatic tire.

Su Aobai reacted immediately. He leaned his upper body forward and stared at the ground in front of him. He saw that this part of the road was full of thick thorns. Xu Lei might have just seen these things, so she stopped suddenly. .

But since I saw it, why did I pass it again?

Yisu Aobai's IQ quickly found the key.

Why are these thorns all over this country road? It can't grow on its own, can it?

Since this was artificial, why did they arrange these things here, did they not know that this path was the only way for many vehicles to go to the provincial road?

Su Aobai looked at the reeds on both sides, if there were people hiding inside, it would be difficult to detect.

If Xu Lei chose to get down from the car and kick a thorn in the road ahead, I fear that a group of people will soon jump out of the peaceful-looking reeds, who knew there were several people or dozens of people hiding inside? Well, whether those people had weapons in their hands or not, the two of them were not necessarily opponents.

So Xu Lei chose to gamble and directly hit him, as long as the tire did not explode, after passing this part of the road and driving to a crowded place, it would be safe.

Su Aobai listened to the sound of the air tires leaking, and feeling that Xu Lei's plan might be somewhat mysterious, they were loading too much cargo, which already exceeded the load-bearing capacity, which put a lot of pressure on the tires. Now that there are still a lot of nails stuck in the tire, I'm afraid it won't last long before the tire will break.

Xu Lei's body tensed up, his face flushed red, and his forehead continued to sweat.

He thought about the previous news from the neighboring factory, a driver was robbed and beaten to death on a long trip, now the family members are still arguing at the factory, arguing with the factory leader about the amount of pension money.

At this moment, a crooked old man suddenly emerged from the reeds, leaning on the crutches and standing in the middle of the road trembling, Xu Lei involuntarily stepped on the brakes.

The full truck drove forward, and the impact made the vehicle unable to stop in time, the brakes almost sparking, and stopped about half a meter in front of the old man.

Xu Lei's sternum hit the steering wheel, leaving him gasping in pain.

At this moment, the surrounding reeds started to tremble, and a dozen or twenty young men and women rushed out while carrying hoes and sticks and surrounded the truck.

"Hold!"

Xu Lei clenched his fists and slammed him hard into the steering wheel, his expression extremely ugly.

But under the circumstances back then, it was impossible for him to stop and meet him in person, if he did, those people would not need to rob.

What can he say? He said that because of the nails in that place, he felt that someone would block the road and rob him, so he did not dare to stop when he saw an old man appear in the middle of the road?

All of this was just his speculation, had his robbers already come out? Who can prove his guess right?

At that moment, he had committed a murder on purpose.

This group of people had gained experience in robbing, and one round after another, left people in a dilemma.

Now a bright robbery, he could crash into it, but just when the brakes were stepped on, the swipe force was too big, he could even hear the sound of flat tires, not to mention the crowds around, don't wait for him to start the car, the initial stick was about to hit the window glass, waving towards them.

Xu Lei was very envious of the seniors in the convoy, in the 1960s, the trucks were equipped with wooden warehouses.At that time, most of the convoys were retired soldiers, and at that time, the truck was equipped with a wooden warehouse, law and order are in many bad places, and truck drivers are equipped with wooden sheds for self-defense, can hoes and rakes be faster than bullets?

But now, there were only two of them, with two machetes, could they defeat a dozen youths with hoes and sticks in front of them?

"This is our village land. Who will allow you to drive on our roads? Look at the weight of your car. It's ruined our way."

A careless man walked out of the driver's window with a rake on his shoulder and said to Xu Lei.

Xu Lei was about to laugh furiously, this was a dirt road with holes and holes, and could not be destroyed by trucks.

"Leave money on your body and stuff in the car."

He raised his head and commanded Xu Lei.

They don't know how to ask for a car, and they can't ask for it. Instead, everyone shared some cars and stuff, then they broke up and went home to each other. When the time comes, they will hide them and the police will not be able to find them.

"Brother, everyone makes money by being friendly. I have fifty yuan here. You can buy some cigarettes and alcohol for everyone, and let me go."

Xu Lei lowered the car window, took out a pile of money strewn from his pocket, and handed it to the man.

If it was just an item in the factory, facing so many people, he would definitely choose to leave his money and goods and leave, as long as he could save the car and save his life, he would criticize one by one when he was returned to the factory.

But now there was an item in the back pocket of the car that he had received from a private job. If these items are lost, it will cost money. Most of the bosses of small private factories today were people that ordinary people could not afford, either, and these people don't care whether you have to hand things over to the robber to save your life, they just know their stuff is gone, and you have to lose money.

It's easy to make extra money, and everything is risky.

Xu Lei's tongue licked the roots of his teeth, and he could hear his own heartbeat.

Items worth thousands of dollars. His family has a large population. These years, children's education and children's marriages are all spent. In addition, he and his wife support relatives in the countryside. He can't afford this money.

If they cannot afford to pay, how can they let go, and when the time comes, there will be problems, and problems taking private jobs will come to the surface.

Did he still have a job at the time? If he's fired from the factory, his son won't be able to take over the shift.

In a split second, Xu Lei thought a lot.

These days, iron rice bowls are like the lifeblood of many families, not to mention a lucrative job as a truck driver, if these items are lost, he will not only lose money, he will not only lose money, he even went to jail and lost his entire family. Living source.

Just by supposing this end, blood flow continued to surge, making Xu Lei's eyes redden, his head dizzy, and his impulsiveness surpassed his rationality.

If these people accepted it if they did not get better, he would fight them.

His debt was written off after death, and he could still leave a reputation of fighting valiantly and sacrificially to protect the goods of the factory and the gangsters.The factory did not dare to hold back his position of work, but he did not, and he can still leave the pension for his family, just like any other factory before him, like a truck driver.

With blood on his head, Xu Lei was completely unafraid anymore, the hand that was blocked by the car door clasped the handle of the knife tightly.

"You must send this money to the beggar."

The man was completely dissatisfied, "Down, down, down for me."

The surrounding people knocked on the car door with sticks, urging Xu Lei and Su Aobai who were sitting in the passenger seat to get off.

Some anxious people had already run into the back pocket of the car and started unpacking things, just to prevent items from being lost on the road, all of these items were tied tightly several times around the car's pocket by a distance of two or three centimeters. Thick hemp rope The end of the rope was tied with a dead knot, and I couldn't let go for a while.

It was these people's actions that triggered Xu Lei's blood flow.

"Suckers! Goddamn it, don't touch me."

Xu Lei held a knife.

"I'm holding them back, you find an opportunity to run."

After he finished speaking, Xu Lei opened the car door and rushed down.

Although taking a personal job is the default rule of an unspoken team, people in the same car can share the money, but this list is negotiated by him, after all, he chose to work hard with this group of people for his own little family.

This was the first time Su Aobai had met such a thing on such a long-distance trip, Xu Lei felt sorry for him in his heart, so he could only apologize in his heart, I hope he finds a chance to escape.

As for him, let him die, and kill some thieves to bury with him.
