The next day, Li Weidong and Zhao Hu followed the convoy of the transport company south to Pingzhou.

Li Weidong sat in the co-pilot of an old liberation, and his body kept shaking with the body.

"Young man, I am the most stable one in our team, take my car, and promise not to get motion sickness!"

Hearing this, Li Weidong really wanted to go up and slap the driver twice, the car shook like this, and he was embarrassed to say that he drove steadily!

"Fortunately, I didn't eat much in the morning, otherwise, all the soy milk fritters in my stomach would have been shaken out!" Li Weidong said secretly in his heart.

Lao Jiefang naturally has no driving comfort, and the cockpit of Lao Jiefang is not a single seat, it is a whole row of hard seats, not to mention any seat vibration reduction, coupled with the bad road conditions in the eighties, sitting in Lao Jiefang is like shaking sesame oil.

Lao Jiefang also has no seat belts, and his body cannot be fixed on the seat, if he encounters some sharp bends, due to inertia, the whole person will can't help but roll from one side of the seat to the other.

Drivers in the seventies and eighties basically had the problem of stomach sagging, just because they were bumpy all day long, and no matter how good the stomach was, it would sag.

Passing by a section of uneven ramps, looking at the dazzling operation of the driver, Li Weidong couldn't help but admire the driver.

In Li Weidong's view, Lao Jiefang should be the car with the worst driving experience he has ever driven, and Lao Jiefang's cab is concentrated with all kinds of anti-human designs.

Needless to say, when the old liberation is in gear, the two-foot clutch is not much to say, and when the gear is reduced, in addition to the two-foot clutch, one foot of the throttle is given in the middle. The key is that the clutch pedal is still very heavy, and it is more tiring to drive for a day than to walk for a day.

Lao Jiefang's high and low beam control and horn are also under the feet, when driving, you have to stomp your feet if you want to honk the horn, and you have to stomp your feet if you want to turn on the high beams, so the driver's feet are basically in a busy state.

The driver's arm is not idle, the old liberation has no steering assistance, and turning in the state of cargo is a hard work, and most of the drivers who drive the old liberation have practiced a pair of unicorn arms.

When encountering some more complex roadsides, you need to constantly increase and decrease gears, and you can see the driver's operation, which feels comparable to that of future e-sports players, and the APM will soar in an instant.

Finally, Lao Jiefang passed through this complicated section, Li Weidong breathed a sigh of relief, and the driver was still calm, for him, this kind of complicated section was nothing at all.

"Xiao Li, do you know how to drive?" asked the driver.

If it is replaced by someone else, the driver will definitely not ask such a question, how can there be a car in the auto repair workshop who can't drive, how to repair the car if he can't drive?

However, Li Weidong is too young, so the driver has this question.

Li Weidong nodded and replied: "The car can be driven, but the main thing is to drive a small car, and I can take a step to liberate this kind of big car." ”

"At your age, it's good to be able to get started. The driver's voice paused, and then said: "I didn't feel that this liberation was difficult to open before, and I tried to try four zeros two days ago, but it is much better than this liberation." It's a pity that the good wheels don't get me. ”

"It won't be long before you can swap to a four-zero. Li Weidong said with a smile.

According to Li Weidong's memory, two years later, in 1986, the second generation of liberation came out, and at the same time, both FAW and FAW increased their annual output to more than 100,000 vehicles.

By the mid-90s, the old liberation of the country was basically eliminated.

The driver was not optimistic about changing the car, he shook his head helplessly: "I don't expect to change the car, I bought this car in the 80s, and I only drove it for four years, maybe I will retire, it may not be retired." ”

Li Weidong smiled, but did not answer, the current Qinghe Transportation Company, even the Dodge trucks of World War II can be found, and the old liberation of more than 20 years of car age abounds, a car is not scrapped for 30 years, and the driver master naturally has no hope for a new car.

Lao Jiefang didn't even have a car radio, but chatting with the driver all the way, it was not lonely, and when it was dark, Li Weidong finally arrived in Pingzhou City.

From Qinghe to Pingzhou, the journey of more than 300 kilometers took nearly ten hours, which was not slow according to the standards of the time.

Since it was already dark, the matter of returning the goods from the Hongxing Rubber Factory could only wait until tomorrow, so Li Weidong and Zhao Hu stayed directly in the guest house of the Pingzhou Transportation Company.

In the 80s, state-owned enterprises with a little scale would have a tertiary industry, and the guest house was probably the most in the tertiary industry.

Accommodation is secondary, the key is that the guest house will set up a restaurant, the leaders can come here to eat and drink for a reason, the wine and food money are all from the public, this guest house is the tertiary industry of their own unit, and it is easier to get up to the account.

Li Weidong and Zhao Hu walked into the guest house of the Pingzhou Transportation Company, and the two showed their work permits, and the other party saw that it was a system, and they didn't even need a letter of introduction, so they opened a room for the two.

This is the advantage of the employees of state-owned enterprises, as long as there is a guest house in the system, they will not sleep on the streets.

The transportation system is even more so, because the people in the transportation system often have to run everywhere, so they will be convenient for each other, you give convenience to others, and when you get to someone else's territory, others will also give you convenience.

It is no exaggeration to say that with a work permit from a transportation company, as long as you can walk the car, you can find a place to live.

After resting in the guest house for the night, early the next morning, Li Weidong and Zhao Hu came to the Red Star Rubber Factory.

Standing in front of the gate of the Red Star Rubber Factory, looking at the vehicles pulling goods in and out, Zhao Hu looked like a dirt bun, and sighed: "This Red Star Rubber Factory is really magnificent, even the gate is electric!"

The two walked to the window of the guard's room, and Zhao Hu took out a letter of introduction from his arms and introduced himself: "Comrade, we are the Qinghe Regional Transportation Company. ”

The doorman looked up at Zhao Hu, but didn't pay attention to him.

Li Weidong immediately took out a cigarette and handed it over, and the doorman took the cigarette, and then asked, "What unit?"

"Green River Regional Transportation Company. Zhao Hu replied and handed over the letter of introduction at the same time.

The doorman didn't read the letter of introduction at all, but just took out a notebook: "Let's make a record!"

After Zhao Hu finished registering, he returned the book to the doorman, and the doorman didn't look at it much, and said directly: "Turn left in front, the first room on the first floor." ”

"We're here to retreat ......"

"Why is there so much nonsense, I told you, turn left in front, the first room on the first floor!

Zhao Hu was just halfway through his words, but was interrupted by the doorman.

The doorman said that Guan closed the window of the guard's room and ignored the two of them no longer.

The prime minister's seven-grade official in front of the door, the doorman of the national second-level enterprise is a cow!
