Volume One Hundred and Fifty-Six Novices on the Road
The exhibition is coming, we need to set off in advance to the provincial capital to set up the exhibition, except for Uncle Wang, "principal" and other relevant personnel who need to stay to ensure the normal operation of the website, everyone else has been arranged to participate in the exhibition. In order to be able to record the exhibition and leave some information for the future, I also specially brought my camera. Bobo also deliberately went to the present to learn the tea ceremony, and served tea to the guests who came to visit the exhibition hall.
The proofing exhibition hall in the Great Hall was quickly dismantled by us after it was marked, and all the antique furniture and exhibits on display were packed and stacked at the door. Mr. Liu and my brother both have A licenses, so considering the cost, I borrowed a pickup truck and hoped to pull all these items away in one car. But a group of people used more than a dozen different schemes, constantly loading and unloading, everyone was sweating, and they still couldn't load all the things into the car, so they had to stay overtime and continue to work.
My phone rang and it was her. I had to temporarily quit the work team and run to the side to pick up the phone (the consequences of not answering the phone for a long time are really serious).
"Are you home?"
"Nope."
"What's wrong? It's almost 7 o'clock. ”
"Well, it's loading. I'm going to exhibit tomorrow. ”
"Oh, you told me this. And what about your dinner? ”
"I don't know, let's talk about it later, I'm busy, I'm embarrassed to eat first."
"What's the matter with being hungry?"
"It's okay, I've been hungry for a long time. Alas, what about you? Have you eaten dinner? ”
"Well, I ate in the cafeteria, and now I'm back to where I live. When are you going to be tonight? ”
"It's not good, I'm still loading the car, I can't stuff it in, I'm tired of fart!"
"Then you can rest for a while, and go back and tell me."
……
Although I was as far away as possible from everyone, and at first everyone didn't know that I had a girlfriend, but this kind of grandiose phone porridge behavior was seen by everyone, and when I hung up the phone, it seemed that everyone had a trace of evil smile on their faces.
Finally, just as we were about to collapse, everything was magically loaded onto the car, and the solution had been tried before. I didn't have time to think about it, after all, everyone had to get up early to go to the provincial capital the next day, and after packing up a little, they all went home. And I had already missed the last train, and when I was about to call, Mr. Long said let me try the company's van. According to him, although the car looks a little dilapidated and the age of the car is more than ten years old, it is still good to drive, and it has a place in Akinayama.
I have never touched a car since graduating from driving school, I wanted to call my dad to pick me up, but I felt that he must be playing mahjong at this point, and it was really troublesome to come and go, and I had to go to the office early the next day to gather, and I thought about it again and again and took the car keys handed over by Mr. Long.
When I came to the parking lot, I saw the dilapidated van, and when I opened the door of the cab with the key, I was greeted by an unknown smell of gasoline, aging plastic, and old seat cushions, and I could deeply perceive the years that this car had gone through. I adjusted the seat backs, mirrors, and mirrors to suit my height. I inserted the key into the socket, stepped on the clutch, and confirmed that the gear was in neutral according to what I learned from the driving school, and I turned the key forward, and the engine switch made a dull sound with effort, and every time I felt that the car was about to start, it was suddenly silent. The slow-heating and cramped environment made my sweat glands work all over my body, and the steering wheel had been "washed" by me. I took off my glasses, wiped the sweat off my face with the cuff of the short sleeve of my right hand, wiped my glasses with the corner of my coat as a cloth, put them on, and continued to start the car alone in the empty parking lot. The hard work finally paid off, the car shook, and I wanted to see how much gas there was, in case it would be tragic to lie down halfway. As a result, none of the hands in the dashboard moved...... Forget it, no matter what, there will always be a car at home, so I habitually reached out to pull the seat belt, and I didn't touch the belt for a long time, and it turned out that the driver's seat of this car did not have a seat belt at all!
Eric has said that how bold man is, how fruitful is the earth. I gritted my teeth and prepared to put the car in gear and reverse it, but the car kept moving forward, but fortunately there was a bunch of bushes in front of me as a buffer, otherwise it would have been directly against the wall. After studying for a long time, I realized that the reverse gear of this car was different from the kind of car I learned in driving school, and I had to lean back. It also happened to be empty on both sides of the car, so I had enough space to "move" the car out little by little.
Hooked up in first gear, the car slowly moved forward, and because there was no seat belt, I felt uncomfortable and extremely insecure. Every time I pass a traffic light, I start applying the brakes early, and even if the green light in front of me is just starting to count down, I stop the car and wait for the next green light to come back on. The car didn't dare to drive too fast, at most it was in fourth gear, no matter how the car behind honked, I didn't care, just slowly moving forward in the fast lane. Along the way, what I was most afraid of was seeing the police uncle, in case they knew that I was "running naked", wouldn't I have to go to the traffic police force for tea. Fortunately, I was on the road at the right time, both past the evening rush hour and not at the time of the drunk driving supper. Along the way, she kept calling and texting, but I was not an old driver, so I would be able to do two things, and I was still "accompanied" by my mobile phone.
After half an hour of speeding forward, I finally drove the car downstairs at home. Step on the clutch, hang neutral, pull the handbrake, turn off the ignition, hold the key, and unbuckle the seat belt...... By the way, there are no seat belts. The dilapidated van's anti-theft system has long since been scrapped, and except for the driver's cab door, which can be locked with a key, everything else is bluffing. If the thief really cares, he can steal the whole car.
When I got home, I threw the keys in the car, and after taking a shower, I called her and told her about the driving experience that I had just made, and scared her enough. A trick that successfully resolved the sin of not answering the phone before, and even made her feel guilty.
Later, when my dad came back and saw the car keys on the table, he asked, and when he learned that I had driven the scrapped van back, complained that I hadn't called him to ask him to pick me up, and said that he would take me to the office the next day. Since I can drive back, I will definitely be able to drive back, so I politely declined my dad's request.
I didn't really sleep well that night, because I was afraid that when I woke up the next day, the van downstairs would be gone......
