Chapter 0089 - Asking for Help
Zhou Peng came out of the house, then went to the village commissary to buy a Taishan cigarette, carried it in his arms, and came to the door of Zhou Shihai's house in the easternmost part of the village.
Zhou Shihai's yard is very large, there must be a dozen acres of land, their side was originally a large wheat field, and later Zhou Shihai was contracted in 1991 to open a liquefied gas station.
In 1991, a loan of 200,000 yuan was used to open a liquefied gas station, and in less than a year, the loan of 200,000 yuan was fully repaid.
Not only in the Zhou family, but even in the whole village, Zhou Shihai is a really rich one.
And Zhou Shihai is not only rich, he is also very low-key and warm-hearted.
It is said that Zhou Shihai and his father happened to be on the head of the five suits, and in Zhou Peng's generation, he and Zhou Shihai's son Zhou Yuanbo have already come out of the five suits, which is not a close branch.
However, it turned out that Zhou Shihai and Zhou Shitong were neighbors on the left and right, and the relationship between the two families was very good, and when Zhou Peng went to his uncle's house to play with his brother Zhou Jiang when he was a child, he would go to Zhou Shihai's house, and they were close and had a good relationship.
Before Zhou Shihai opened a liquefied gas station, he had been a soldier for several years, and later he was assigned to the transportation department of Luzhong Iron and Steel Plant as a worker.
However, he has a more flexible brain, and later when he succeeds in starting a business, he becomes the boss.
Zhou Peng stood at the door of Zhou Shihai's house with a Taishan cigarette in his hand, and shouted inside: "Uncle!"
Then, there was a strong sound of dogs barking inside, and then the lights inside were turned on, emitting a faint light through the gate.
The liquefied gas station has to lock the door at night, Zhou Peng stood at the door, waited for a few seconds, and then the door opened.
It was Zhou Yuanbo, Zhou Shihai's son, who opened the door. Zhou Yuanbo is three years younger than Zhou Peng, and now he is in his first year of high school, and he is also going home from the May Day holiday.
He also has a girl named Zhou Suyun, who is one year older than Zhou Peng, and worked as a nurse in Luzhong Hospital after graduating from the health school.
"Brother, you're here, Mom, my Brother Pengzi is here. ”
When he was at home just now, Zhou Peng saw Zhou Yuanbo, and then said to him with a smile: "Is my uncle at home?"
"Come in, brother, your uncle is watching TV. ”
Seeing Zhou Yuanbo, Zhou Peng thought that in his previous life, he was later admitted to a second book, and then after graduation, he entered the Agricultural Bank of China as a bank clerk. Later, he married the daughter-in-law of the director of the Education Bureau, who also worked as a teacher in his school, and the relationship between the two has always been very close.
Zhou Yuanbo's temper and personality are very good and polite.
Looking at him, Zhou Peng thought in his heart that there should be no problem for him to do finance in his company next.
Followed Zhou Yuanbo into the house, his house is much better than other houses in the village, the floor of the house is paved with tiles, the walls are painted with latex paint, the ceiling is also very beautiful, and the crystal lamp in the middle of the house looks very high-grade. All the furniture in their house is solid wood, especially the living room with a 42-inch high-definition plasma digital large color TV is particularly conspicuous. This color TV is new, I just bought it this year, and it cost Zhou Shihai 30,000 yuan.
"Pengzi is here, come on, come on. ”
Seeing Zhou Peng come in, Zhou Shihai, who was sitting on the sofa, did not stand up, but waved at Zhou Peng and motioned for him to sit next to him.
As for Zhou Yuanbo, he was diligent in pouring tea for Zhou Peng.
"Uncle, I'm looking for you to ask you something. ”
Zhou Shihai always had a smile on his face, looked at Zhou Peng and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhou Peng didn't say anything, but put a piece of Taishan cigarette under the coffee table of Zhou Shihai's house, and said, "Uncle, filial piety and filial piety to you." ”
"Look at this kid, what is he talking about? ”
"I heard my dad say that you have a comrade-in-arms who is the captain of the second brigade of the traffic police, I want to ask if you can help me get a driver's license, this registration fee or something, uncle, how much does it cost?"
"Oh, what should I do? Pengzi, take this cigarette back and let your dad smoke it when you leave, I have it. Besides, I don't smoke either, and I said, kid, what are you doing with your driver's license?"
"It's not like I spend a lot of time in college, I want to get a driver's license, I can use it to do a part-time job. ”
Zhou Shihai nodded: "What kind of part-time job?
Zhou Peng said with a smile: "No, my classmates and I are discussing renting a taxi in Quancheng, whoever is free will drive, and earn living expenses or something at the end of the day." ”
When Zhou Shihai heard this, he changed his posture to stilt his legs, and then looked at his son and said, "See, Xiaobo, your brother Pengzi is a very thoughtful person." ”
Then turning his head, Zhou Shihai looked at Zhou Peng again and said, "Do your parents support this matter?"
"Yes. ”
"That's okay, you're like this, kid, you give me your ID card, this May Day holiday is over, I'll go to Lao Luo and ask him to get you a driver's license." ”
"How much does it cost, do you think this uncle is enough?"
Zhou Peng took out a thousand yuan from his arms, but Zhou Shihai hurriedly stuffed the money back to Zhou Peng, and said with an unhappy expression on his face: "This kid, your uncle can still ask for your money, isn't it? ”
The management of driver's licenses was not strict at the beginning, especially when there was no Internet access and all relied on manual registration, and the loopholes were still very large.
Not to mention the driver's license, it was when Zhou Peng settled down when he was young, and at the beginning when Zhou Peng was born, there was no place to settle down, but waited until Zhou Peng was three years old, and then the staff set up a table at the head of Zhoujialing Village to let the children who did not settle down settle down.
When you settle down, you don't need to issue any birth certificate or anything, you can lead the child over, and the staff will look up and register.
There are also people who have not given birth and directly lead other people's children to register, and they can also settle down, and there are also those who borrow children and register with their own children as twins.
Then, if there are more people on the register, they will directly bypass family planning and seize the time to give birth.
In the 80s, although family planning work was strict, there were still loopholes.
"No, uncle, you are looking for your comrades-in-arms to do errands, you can't spend money on drinking treats, I got my driver's license to make money, and this hard-earned money must be given. ”
Zhou Peng insisted on giving, but in the end Zhou Shihai didn't stop him, Zhou Peng stuffed his ID card, two one-inch photos and a thousand yuan under the coffee table, and then ran away.
Zhou Shihai asked Zhou Yuanbo to chase after him, but he didn't chase it back, and finally he touched the money and counted it, and said to Zhou Yuanbo with a smile: "Xiaobo, you Pengzi brother, your future is limitless, you are a good boy, you will learn a little in the future." ”
