Under the leadership of Lu Lufeng, Su Yunyun and Han Sen came to the transport team.
As soon as I entered the yard, I found that the drivers of the transport team were gathered in twos and threes, discussing something. Some of them were obviously much more excited, while others looked low and depressed, forming a sharp contrast.
Su Yunyun was a little confused and didn't understand why these people were so clearly divided.
"Why are you so sad? It's just a trip to the Northeast!" A man who looked to be in his thirties but was obviously a leader couldn't stand it anymore and said directly.
"Leader, you don't know how cold the Northeast is. It's much colder than here. We originally wanted to go to the south this year because it's warmer, but we were assigned to the Northeast. That's why we are worried!" Driver A complained.
"That's right. When I think about the ice and snow, it looks beautiful, but my body can't bear it!" Driver B immediately agreed when he heard Driver B's words.
"I have to go home and pack all the thick clothes I can. Otherwise, when I get there, I won't know where to find clothes to wear. It won't be worth it if I catch a cold and get sick!" Driver C was thinking directly about what clothes he needed to prepare.
The leaders understood their concerns, but this was a mission, so how could they just not go? Besides, the group that went to the south had just been to the Northeast last year, so it was not their turn this time.
Just as I was about to speak, Driver D spoke up, "I'm not worried about going because I'm afraid of the cold, but mainly because my mother is sick and can't leave."
Driver E and Driver F didn't say anything either, they just looked at their leader with worried looks.
The leader thought about it and immediately said to driver D, "There are three cars this time, each with two drivers, and we need to take turns driving along the way. We can't have one less person, so let me go for you this time, and you stay at home and take good care of your mother."
Then he waved his hand to tell Driver D not to say anything thanking him, and looked at the other drivers, "I'm going on this business trip with you guys this time, and we're enduring the cold together, do you have any opinions?"
Driver A grumbled, "You've already done it yourself, what else can we say?"
Seeing that no one was complaining anymore, the leader said to them, "There are still eight days before departure. You should prepare warm clothes first. I'm telling you about the next arrangements so early so that you can have time to prepare fully."
After the drivers dispersed, Lu Feng stepped forward and said, "Wang Dali, you are a great leader. You lead by example and rush to the front line yourself. You are a model worker!"
Wang Dali recognized Lu Feng and shook his head helplessly when he heard his teasing. "We all have our own families. Everyone needs help sometimes. Going for others now and helping them solve the difficulties they are facing is also a good thing. Besides, it doesn't necessarily mean I'm at a disadvantage! Maybe I can get it back from other places!"
Lu Feng gave Wang Dali a thumbs up and said, "You are a living Lei Feng!"
Wang Dali raised his hand and pushed down Lu Feng's thumbs-up. "Don't give me that, Director Lu, you can't even remember where the gate of my transport team is. What do you want to do here today?"
"I'm not worthy of your job. I'm here to ask for your help," Lu Feng pointed at Su Yunyun and Han Sen. "They're moving to Beijing. They have a lot of people and luggage, and their home is in the countryside, so it's inconvenient to take the train. They asked me to see if I can help. They just heard that our team has a car going to the northeast, which happens to be in the same direction as Beijing, so they wanted to ask our transport team if they can get a ride."
"Since you, Lu Feng, have come in person, there's nothing impossible. It just so happens that I'm passing through Beijing on my way to the Northeast, so this is just something I can do," Wang Dali agreed readily, "but this..."
As soon as he saw Wang Dali showing a bit of embarrassment, Han Sen immediately said, "Don't worry, we won't make it difficult for you. We will pay for it. After all, it will cost a lot of money to get to the capital."
Wang Dali immediately relaxed upon hearing that. "That's perfect! I'm not stingy. If we just give a ride to one or two people, we'll do it for free. After all, there are people to talk to on the road and it helps to relieve boredom. But Lu Feng just said that there are so many of you and a lot of luggage. If you don't pay, I'm worried that the drivers will have some opinions. They were all very dissatisfied when they went to the Northeast this time."
"I understand," Han Sen understood Wang Dali's difficulty. Since they were traveling with a driver, the driver had to be responsible for their safety and take care of them along the way. He took a lot of effort. "It's not easy for the drivers either."
"Yes," Wang Dali sighed, "If the Northeast wasn't the only place with the supplies we need, I definitely wouldn't have arranged for them to go there in this cold winter. So when the time comes, most of the fare you pay will be distributed directly to them, and the rest will be handed over to the fleet as a formality, so that they can feel more comfortable and earn some extra money at the same time."
When talking about sharing the money with the driver, Wang Dali lowered his voice a lot, but Hansen and the others could hear it clearly.
This is a person who knows how to be flexible within the rules. No wonder he can become the head of the transport team at such a young age.
Han Sen and Su Yunyun finished their thoughts and looked at each other. They calculated the cost of taking a train to Beijing. If they took the train, without the round-trip bus fare, it would cost 24 yuan per person. The child would buy a child ticket at half price. Xiaoliang was still young, so she didn't need to buy a ticket as she could be held by an adult. So the cost of the train ticket alone was 348 yuan.
When Wang Dali saw Han Sen and Su Yunyun calculating the cost of the train tickets and pretending to pay their transportation team accordingly, he quickly said, "Hey, hey, hey, don't calculate it like that. You guys are just hitchhiking. If you calculate it like that, it's not really a hitchhiking!"
"But now that you say that, we don't know how much we should give you." Su Yunyun was in a dilemma. She was thinking that even if she paid the transportation team the cost of the train tickets, and then asked them to pick them up in Dongshan Village, and then send them to the Siheyuan after arriving in Beijing, it would solve many problems for them and it would be worth the money!
But Wang Dali stopped them at that moment, and asked them how much should they give?
"We don't need so much, just give me 180, I'll give 60 to the transport team and share the rest with them!" Wang Dali calculated and was only willing to take 180 yuan, "and you can give me your current address and your address in Beijing, then we'll drive to pick you up, and when we get to Beijing, we'll take you there. This way, I'll feel more comfortable charging you so much money."
Hearing that Wang Dali had almost slashed the price in half, Su Yunyun and Han Sen were very happy. They expressed their sincere gratitude to Wang Dali, and immediately took money out of their pockets to pay for the ride. They also wrote down the address and gave it to him.
After Wang Dali received the money, he looked at the address and then directly told them that they would set off in 8 days. He asked them to be ready in advance and pick up the people after they arrived at Dongshan Village so that they could be sent to the capital earlier.
Han Sen and Su Yunyun nodded to show that they understood. Since Lu Feng and Wang Dali had not seen each other for a long time and they had things to discuss, they let Su Yunyun and Han Sen leave first.
Su Yunyun and Han Sen found an empty corner, used their mind control to take out 50 kilograms of flour and 50 kilograms of rice from the space, and asked Han Sen to carry them to the door of the transport team again.
While there was no one in the transport team, Su Yunyun went in first and called out Wang Dali who was talking. When they arrived at the door, Han Sen pointed at the flour and rice that were handed to him and said, "Thank you for taking care of us along the way. These are not just a token of respect, please accept them."
As soon as the two men finished talking, they turned around and left quickly, leaving Wang Dali looking at the bag on the ground, then at their receding backs, feeling torn.
