The person was "invited" out, and a quiet settled around them.
The village chief invited Lin Chuxia into the house. The village chief’s wife had almost finished cooking, and the two daughters-in-law from the Sun Family were helping in the kitchen. Before long, the dishes were served on the table.
Lin Chuxia and Wang Tianyu were not outsiders at the Sun Family’s house. Since they were driving and not drinking, they enjoyed a lively, simple family meal.
After the meal, Lin Chuxia returned to Qin Family Village.
As soon as she entered the house, she heard another piece of good news.
Previously, due to transportation issues, they had wanted to establish their own fleet of vehicles.
Before the festival, Wang Cheng had already ordered vehicles from the sales company, and tomorrow they could finally pick them up.
Wang Cheng came to the house to report to Lin Chuxia about work. Since Lin Chuxia wasn’t home, he went to the market first.
Nowadays in Qin Family Village, almost every household has a vegetable greenhouse, with some families even having two.
In the winter, the fields in other villages were yellow and barren, and the green areas were just wheat.
Only in Qin Family Village, from afar, one could see a vast expanse of white, all vegetable greenhouses.
Of course, in northern rural areas, this is generally the most leisurely time for each household, but the villagers of Qin Family Village remained busy. From the second day of the New Year, quite a few vegetables were being transported out of the greenhouses.
People of this time had traditional thinking deeply rooted and were more dedicated to the New Year than future generations.
So, transportation vehicles were extremely hard to find at this time, which was why Wang Cheng considered organizing a personal fleet for the vegetable wholesale market.
When they arrived at the wholesale market, Wang Cheng was on the phone.
Without their own fleet, before the New Year, Wang Cheng had arranged a few vehicles to help with the transportation these days.
Seeing Lin Chuxia approaching, he quickly ended the call.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Lin! Wishing you a belated New Year!"
Wang Cheng had only met Lin Chuxia once before the New Year, and this was their first meeting after.
Lin Chuxia smiled and wished him well for the New Year too, then asked, noticing his restrained smile, "How are things going? I heard there’s good news over there, and we can pick up the vehicles tomorrow. Have you decided who will go?"
"It’s decided. There are a total of 5 vehicles. Manager Su from Xiyang Food Factory dispatched two drivers here. Qin Han is one of them. From the wholesale market, there’s me, Sun Guodong, and Qin Jianshe."
"How is that young Qin Jianshe doing? During the New Year, I heard from my older sister-in-law that you’ve been quite attentive to that kid, and I really appreciate it."
Although Qin Jianshe was his nephew, Lin Chuxia didn’t feel that anyone had the obligation to look after him.
Wang Cheng laughed and said, "That kid is sharp. Although your eldest brother always complains that the kid isn’t good at studying, not every child is talented academically. But when it comes to learning how to drive, that kid is quicker than anyone. It’s purely based on his own efforts that he got the opportunity to tag along this time."
Deciding to establish a fleet also meant having their own drivers. If it weren’t for work, no one would bother learning how to drive.
Wang Cheng had long seen the development trend of the market. Last year, he started having a few young men from the market prepare to take the driving test.
Getting a driver’s license back in those days was not a trivial matter. Their salary from working at the market wasn’t enough, so they had to rely on their families for funding.
However, hearing it was Manager Wang from the market asking them to take the test, the families didn’t hesitate to think of borrowing money if necessary.
