"The Long Distance" (6)
I can't help but listen to my parents, and it's not a bad thing to think that there is a smart person to guide me.
I held back for a long time, and I didn't know a lot of words about elementary school culture. You can only find words with similar meanings to replace, and finally simply find homophones instead. Densely written back and forth, envelopes and stamps were affixed.
Without any heal, he ran to the post office and handed the letter to the postman.
Ten days later, I received a reply. The thick envelope was also densely packed with words. I guess my younger brother knows that I can't read a lot of words, so I write three words at the bottom: go to learn to drive.
I also drew a small car in the blank space for fear that I wouldn't be able to read it, not to mention that the drawing was really decent.
The key is that there are more than a dozen large solidarity sheets in the envelope, and they have counted more than one hundred and forty yuan.
Back then, the letter was not allowed to release money, but in private, it was okay to take care of this.
It's not been a few months since my brother has been here, right? The letter said that it was a scholarship from the school, and my brother meant to let me take it to learn to drive.
The money I have subsidized my brother in the past few years should be more than 100 yuan, and I will pay it back all at once.
According to my brother's idea, I told my parents again.
I really found out that there is a place in the village to learn to drive, and my parents asked around to find out that there is a big truck with a Jiefang brand in the pig farm in the town.
At that time, the pigs in the pig farm were specially supplied, and everyone ate and drank with food stamps and meat stamps.
Of course, in private, everyone can raise pigs and slaughter them, but they can only taste them themselves, not sell them.
This pig farm is for transporting pigs to the city, and this Jiefang truck is also the only one in the town.
The idea is clear, and if you want to learn to drive, you can only go to the town.
At that time, there was no such thing as a driving school, so I inquired and understood a word called driving training.
It's about motor vehicle driving and training, but this driver training is also something that just came out this year.
It's only available in some big cities, and don't think about small places like ours.
Mom and Dad meant to ask me to go to the town, especially to the pig farm. There's a big truck here, and no one can drive it, right? Ask people if they're willing to teach you.
Hearing that it was true, I tried to go around town and ask around.
The pig farm doorman didn't let me in at all, saying nothing would work.
I tried to ask the uncle and aunt next to me, and I really asked a capable person.
When talking about where to learn to drive, uncles and aunts all pointed to the old man who was enjoying the shade under the big tree in the town.
went to the old man's side, and asked and really opened the old man's chatterbox.
The old man talked eloquently about how difficult it was to learn a car in the early years, and there were very few people who learned to drive at that time. Driving skills can only be learned from people who have already obtained a driver's license, and in the past, skills had to be learned through apprenticeship. According to the traditional custom, the ceremony of bowing three times and bowing nine times can be accepted as a disciple to learn driving skills.
The more I listened to it, the more it looked like I was practicing martial arts, and I began to believe it.
Asked how the old man knew, the old man took out a cloth bag in his arms and left.
opened a booklet, and in the booklet was actually a national army certificate.
There was also a crumpled piece of paper in the card, and when it was spread out, it was a driver's license.
After looking at it carefully, there are two big seals on the left and right of this thing.
I guessed that I couldn't do it, so I excitedly asked the old man what he should do if he wanted to learn to drive now?
The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he pointed to the gate of the town without smiling and stopped talking.
