Chapter 40: Road Test, Stimulation

Pile up firewood under the car, pour gasoline prepared in advance, and strike matches.

"Bang", the pale red flames jumped up, swaying with the cold wind, gently licking the bottom of the dark fuel tank.

That's when the thrill comes in.

In this era, large cars used gasoline, which was easy to deflagrate.

If you're not careful, you'll put a cannon on the spot.

Li Weidong looked up and saw that the four examiners were each carrying a tin bucket filled with sand.

The fingers on their handles quivered from time to time, and it was to be expected that if there was a deflagration, they would rush up and pour sand into the tank.

People in these years are really real, so they can't go through the motions like the future generations?

Li Weidong has long studied how to bake the oil tank.

Under the nervous gaze of the examiners, he skillfully stirred up the firewood to evenly force the bottom of the tank.

After a few moments, there was a clicking sound inside the tank, which meant that the temperature inside had risen.

Unhurriedly, he stood up and kicked the fire away.

Then he pulled the car door and took out a rocker weighing more than ten pounds from under the seat, poked it into the small hole in the front of the truck, and stabbed it all the way to the end.

Feel the protruding head of the shaker snap into the groove of the engine, and then shake the shaker hard.

The rocker handle is the biggest headache for every truck driver, and it requires not only effort but also skill.

Sometimes if you don't grasp it well, the crank will turn upside down.

The black iron rod shakes the handle and sweeps people, and it can cost you half a life at the lightest, or at worst.

Of course, this is not a problem at all for Li Weidong, a comrade who relies entirely on his own efforts to succeed.

It took less than five minutes to hear the engine "boom".

Niu Meng, who was standing not far away, rejoiced: "Master is amazing, come on!" ”

Niu Yong's expression was flat, quite the demeanor of an old driver: "Well, my apprentice's performance is quite unsatisfactory." ”

Lao Zhang, whose face was pale, glared at him and said, "Isn't he your sister's master?" How did you become your apprentice? What the hell is your relationship? ”

Niu Yong: "..."

Time was pressing, Li Weidong couldn't care about the vulgar performances outside the factory, and ran to the examiner and reported: "Candidate 0124 requests to get on the bus!" ”

"Get in the car!" The examiner took out a small notebook and began to follow the truck to record whether the line was pressed or not.

The pile examination in the capital is not much different from that of later generations.

There are three projects: inverted piles, side piles, and fixed-point piles, and I heard that the pile test in the border mountains also needs to drive a truck on a steel pipe.

Since it is so simple, Li Weidong must have passed with a full score.

What surprised him was that Xiao Meng, who was nervous just now, also scored full marks.

After the pile test, you need to wait for all the candidates to finish the test before going to the road test location.

Li Weidong could only return to the sidelines and continue to enjoy a handful of vulgarity.

Actually, it's quite interesting to watch Lao Zhang and Niu Yong, two people who are nearly half a hundred years old, bickering like children there.

After nearly two hours, more than 50 candidates completed all the pile exams, and only eight of them finally passed.

"Candidates who have passed the pile test are all on the bus!"

The examiner drove a Gil 150 and stopped at the gate.

The candidates rushed up and climbed into the car with their hands and feet.

"Okay, don't rub it, it's time for me to play!" Li Weidong got up from his chair and walked out as well.

Niu Meng slowly withdrew his little hand, raised his arm, and said with a serious expression: "Come on, master!" ”

Niu Yong beckoned: "Half of the big front door roars!" ”

Lao Zhang was also anxious, and shouted at Xiao Meng: "Meng Wazi, if you dare to drop the chain, you can't compare to this raw melon egg, and you will be allowed to sit in the car all the time after you get out of the car after labor and management!" ”

...

Nima, isn't it just to get a driver's license, you can use it so vulgarly!

Fortunately, Niu Yong and his escorts were not qualified to go to the road test center, so Li Weidong breathed a sigh of relief.

He saw Xiao Meng squatting in the car body, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "My name is Li Weidong, from the rolling mill." ”

Xiao Meng is an honest child, and he was not indifferent because he was the opponent of the game, and stretched out his hand very enthusiastically: "My name is Meng Chuanjia, from the machinery factory." ”

Machinery factory? Li Weidong wanted to ask if there was a doctor named Ding Qiunan in the factory.

It's just the first time we met, and I'm always embarrassed to act like an LSP.

"You're from Ho Nan's side?"

"Hey, how do you know, my hometown is at the peak, and I transferred from the army to the capital before I became a worker."

“... You seem to be about the same age as me, why did you change jobs? ”

"I'm 35 this year, and the babies are all gone, and my mother said that I look tender."

“...”

Li Weidong was speechless.

They look about the same age as themselves, they already have three babies, and they don't have any of them.

It seems that after marrying Yu Li home, he must hurry up and put the baby on the agenda.

With a "click" of brakes, the truck stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Li Weidong jumped out of the truck with the candidates, and the examiner pointed to the winding road on the mountain and said, "Our road test route this time is from here to the top of the mountain." ”

Because the exam was in order, Li Weidong ranked fifth, and he squatted on the side of the road with Xiao Meng and those candidates to bask in the sun.

The first candidate to get on the bus was a little white face, and his calf was obviously a little shaking when he got on the bus.

In these years, driving is more courageous, and the timid are afraid that they will not succeed.

Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, the truck was back again.

The young man crawled out of the car, squatted on the side of the road and cried.

No one comforted him.

To let such a person with poor psychological quality become a driver is disrespectful to others and to the property of the state.

Xiao Meng was the second to take the test, and when he got into the car, he turned around and made a well-known gesture to Li Weidong.

Nima, is it starting to be vulgar again?

Of course, Li Weidong couldn't bear it, and stretched out his hands to give him two well-known gestures in return.

Twenty minutes later, the truck returned, and Lao Meng jumped out of the car with a shout.

"Dad, mother, I got my driver's license!"

He rushed to Li Weidong and saluted him, so excited that he even spit out the dialect: "Comrade Li Weidong, thank you, I am nervous every time I take the exam, and I have been taking the exam for two years because I was nervous and failed the exam."

This time, because of the competition, my heart is full of confidence.

A 20-year-old baby dares to come to the driver's license test, what am I afraid of as an old driver who has been running on the road for several years! ”

The corners of Li Weidong's mouth twitched twice.

Thinking of Niu Yong and Lao Zhang's vulgar performance just now, I suddenly understood, it turned out that I was the villain.

However, the villain also has a counterattack day, and everything depends on strength.

I'm sure of that half of the cigarette.

The two examiners in the back quickly hung up, and soon it was Li Weidong's turn to take the exam.

He pouted his butt and stuffed the crank into the hole in the front of the car, and after a sharp shake, the engine crashed.

Get into the car, hold the steering wheel and look ahead.

"Comrade Examiner, Candidate 0124 is ready, ready to take off!"

Examiner: "... Do you want to clear the runway for you? ”

... Still a little nervous, said bald lips.

"Comrade Examiner, Candidate 0124 is ready, ready to start!"

"Let's go!"

Easily clutched, slowed the accelerator, lowered the handbrake, and the truck rushed out like a beast.

The trucks of this era are very different from later generations, they are equipped with two clutches, there is no synchronizer, and when changing gears, it is necessary to operate two clutches at the same time with one foot, and the braking system is not sensitive, and the handbrake needs to be used when braking suddenly.

Of course, this is not a problem for veteran drivers who have driven 10,000 trucks.

Seeing that the road test was halfway through, the examiner suddenly shouted: "Stop!" Stop the car! ”

Li Weidong was unmoved.

...
