Zhang Xilu asked: "How much can she earn as a working girl in a coil factory?"

Han Chunlei glanced at Ah Xiong and asked, "Brother Xiong knows that she helped me paint by hand." ”

"Oh yes. ”

Ah Xiong was reminded by Han Chunlei that he remembered this incident, and he also encouraged Liu Meijun to accept the painting fee given by Chunlei.

"In the last two months, I have seen that after she came home from work, she was not idle, and the house was lit every night. I remember that the price of a painting you gave her was five cents, and according to the piecework, she earned no less than two hundred yuan in two months. ”

"More than that, run three hundred!" Han Chunlei corrected.

Zhang Xilu was taken aback: "Isn't she? a little girl who will be red and hot when she talks to others, can earn so much?"

Han Chunlei criticized: "Your cognition is very superficial, Comrade Zhang Xilu. ”

Ah Xiong sighed: "The world has really changed, and banknotes are so easy to earn." Ah Qiang and I drove a minibus at that time, and we already felt that we were very good, and today we looked at Aiwu and Meijun and beautiful women, we were arrogant. ”

"Brother Xiong, don't be too humble. Of course, her income is also related to the approaching Spring Festival. It's you, oh, who have the sharpest eye. ”

Han Chunlei said with a smile, "You changed the minibus to a taxi, not to mention in Shenzhen, looking at the whole country, it is a trend! This year, the easiest to eat meat is always the first batch of people to eat crabs, Brother Xiong has made a lot of money recently, right?"

That's right, Ah Xiong no longer drives a minibus, but a taxi.

In October this year, the Shenzhen Municipal Government and Hong Kong Dada Company jointly established the Shenzhen Car Rental Company to jointly operate the taxi business.

At this time, the starting price of taking a taxi is six yuan, and one kilometer is seven cents, which is definitely a high consumption. Taxi driver, too, is definitely a high-paying and decent profession.

A month ago, Ah Xiong voted for a taxi license with the help of a friend, so now he doesn't drive a minibus and drives a car instead.

On the first day of class, he also deliberately took Han Chunlei to work in Dongmen Market and experienced the decadent life of the bourgeoisie.

Of course, Han Chunlei guessed that Brother Xiong's decision to give up the minibus and invest in a taxi license was partly due to Sister Hong.

After all, there are prescribed routes for driving minibuses every day. But taxis are different, not to mention the freedom of routes, most of the time they still run near Dongmen Market, and you can go directly to Sister Hong's fast food restaurant to eat a fast food at noon.

It's just a long sword.

But Sister Hong still didn't dump him.

Han Chunlei was also quite speechless about these two, they were really making people.

When Ah Xiong heard Han Chunlei talk about his taxi, he still couldn't hide the pride on his face, and said: "Income, it's so-so! Last month, I mainly received a few chartered buses, all of which were big water pipes from Hong Kong, and they gave more mani! The others just ran around the neighborhood. After all, after removing the oil money, it's almost three hundred!"

"Damn, Brother Xiong," Zhang Xilu exclaimed excitedly, "Three hundred yuan, it's still so-so, is the rental business so good?"

"Don't say it, it's better than driving a minibus!"

Ah Xiong said, "The main thing is that I like to work around Dongmen Market. I've heard from other guys that they often go to those high-end hotels and guesthouses to stay guard, and they specialize in attracting Hong Kong tourists and ghosts. If you are lucky, you can earn five or six hundred dollars a month! Moreover, these big water pipes often pay Hong Kong dollars and US dollars! Especially US dollars, if they do not exchange with the bank, they will pour down in private and have another income!"

"It's so profitable,, I don't do a dance hall anymore, I want to open a rental. Zhang Xilu was not calm at all.

Huang Aiwu earns two hundred a month, and Zhang Xilu is envious, but he will not change his career.

But when he heard Ah Xiong say that he would earn five or six hundred a month by renting out and could earn foreign currency, he was really red-eyed, and he really planned to change careers!

"Don't be funny, little guy!"

Ah Xiong shook his head and said, "You can't." You don't know how to drive. ”

Zhang Xilu: "No, I can learn." ”

Ah Xiong: "What about the vernacular?"

"Uh...... Speaking Cantonese, so important?"

Zhang Xilu was stunned, it was this Cantonese problem again.

Ah Xiong said: "Of course. The driver speaks the vernacular, and that is the local driver. Now those who drive taxis are bullied! There are also guests, who also like local drivers, familiar with the road, and easy to communicate. By the way, do you speak English? Five dollars!Thank you very much!

Ah Xiong suddenly burst out two sentences of English, and Zhang Xilu was confused.

If you want to know the vernacular, why do you need to know foreign language?

Also, when did this Ah Xiong understand bird language?

Han Chunlei on the side knew that Brother Xiong's few sentences of loose English were also learned and sold now, and he learned them from his peers.

Seeing that Zhang Xilu was a little embarrassed, he hurriedly said, "Okay, Brother Xilu, don't toss about it." If you don't speak the vernacular and English, you can't do it just because you're a local. I heard from the old tea customers of the teahouse that there are less than 100 taxis in Shenzhen now, and even if they are locals, they still have to have connections and connections to get a license. You are a foreigner, and you can't get a license. Ask Brother Xiong, how much effort did he put into making a rental!"

"Chun Lei Zai, you are a really knowledgeable person. ”

Ah Xiong gave Han Chunlei a thumbs up, and then Zhang Xilu said honestly: "In order to get a license plate and buy a car, I put most of our family into it." Uncle De, our village head, just helped me run the relationship, and he got seven or eight red double happiness. ”

"Ahh

When Zhang Xilu heard this, his face turned pale, and he said, "Then I'll follow Brother Hao and them to run a dance hall." ”

Ah Xiong said: "Yes, don't envy others all the time, I heard Ah Can say, last time he was in a department store with his girlfriend, and I saw you holding hands with a girl?"

"Damn, this kid Pork Chan talks a lot. Everything is bald. Zhang Xilu took a sip.

When Han Chunlei heard this, he couldn't help but quip: "Have you all walked to the mall hand in hand? When did you bring it over, we know each other." ”

"There's something to know. ”

Zhang Xilu looked indifferent and said, "Her name is Alain, and she is Ah Zhen's little sister. I told you last time, the one who rubbed with me at the Tianle Cabaret. ”

"Oh, what are you talking about?" Han Chunlei remembered, there was such a girl named Alain.

"But she's Ah Zhen's little sister, are you doing this?" asked Han Chunlei.

Zhang Xilu bared his teeth and smiled: "What's wrong? They are not sisters now, Ah Zhen is a bad woman, and Alan can't always play with her." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Xilu pulled down the collar of his jacket, revealing the red sweater inside, and said, "This red sweater was knitted for me by Alain! ”

"So you said you wouldn't go back during the Spring Festival this year, just for her?"

Han Chunlei suddenly realized that when he bought tickets before, he asked Zhang Xilu if he wanted to buy tickets and leave together. Zhang Xilu said that he wanted to stay in Shenzhen for the New Year, he didn't understand it at first, but now he understands it completely.

Zhang Xilu smiled and said, "It's not entirely for her." The main thing is that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the business of the dance hall is better than usual. It's the time for the money. Brother Hao said that Ah Qiang is unreliable. This day, the Le Dance Hall can't live without me for a day!"

Han Chunlei snorted and nodded: "If you don't go back, you won't go back, this year's Spring Festival here will definitely be more lively than our hometown." ”

"Okay. The big boss is covering you like this, Ah Lu, the future is immeasurable!" Ah Xiong laughed.

After such a chat, everyone seems to be reporting their own gains and progress in the past year, and everyone seems to be developing in a good direction.

The small office room was full of laughter, as if the best hopes and blessings for 1980 were pinned.

Until it was almost five o'clock, several people went to Sister Hong's fast food restaurant for a meal.

When eating, I heard Sister Hong say that her fast food restaurant would not close until the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve.

After eating, Ah Xiong drove a taxi and sent Han Chunlei to the train station with Zhang Xilu.

The two bought a platform ticket and sent him all the way to the platform.

"Eh, spring thunder!" Suddenly, Zhang Xilu chased after him.

Han Chunlei poked his head out of the window of the train: "Brother Xilu, what's wrong?"

"Be vigilant on the train and watch out for pickpockets!"

"Got it!"

"There are too many people on the train, it's not good to drink water. Do you bring water?"

"Bring it!"

"Don't forget, bring them to my aunt and spring peaches!"

"I can't forget it!"

"There is also Hongqi Village, my second uncle's house. Before the Chinese New Year, go and see it for me and send five catties of pork!"

"Remember! Don't worry. You can spend the New Year in Shenzhen with peace of mind. ”

"Come out early after the New Year!"

"Oops, got it......"

Woo woo ~ ~

The whistle sounded, and the train started slowly.

On June 9, 1979, Han Chunlei boarded a train from Hangzhou to Shenzhen.

Today, January 13, 1980.

After seven months, I stepped on the train back to the north.

Han Chunlei, I'm going home!
