Chapter 230: New Year's Gift, Keep It Secret Now

During dinner, Xiao Baoer told Shen Zhensheng about the issue she had been thinking about and wanted to hear his thoughts.

"Wife, don't worry. This is a very simple matter. Let the fifth brother go with me to the transport team. His job will be vacant. As for which of the four brothers to go, it depends on the decision of our parents."

Xiao Baoer understood what he meant. He was afraid that if the two of them decided which brother to let go to work, it would affect the relationship with the other brothers.

"But husband, this doesn't mean that if we ask Lao Wu to follow you, he will follow you. He is now working and doing business in town, and he earns a lot every month. Is he willing to follow you and be the co-pilot?"

Shen Zhensheng knew Shen Zhenjiang quite well, and said with a confident smile, "I know Lao Wu's personality. He really wants to go out and see the world. Even if I don't take him with me to do transportation, he won't be able to stay in the factory for a few years."

Xiao Baoer still instructed Shen Zhensheng, "That's what you said, but you still have to ask Lao Wu for his opinion, and have him communicate well with Yu Qing, and also talk to his parents."

Shen Zhensheng picked up a piece of pig's trotter for her and urged her to eat. "Wife, just eat well and sleep well. I will take care of everything. Don't worry about it, okay?"

Xiao Baoer lowered her head to eat. Since he said so, he must know everything about these things in his mind, so let him solve it himself.

"Mom, do we have new clothes for the New Year? You and Dad said the other day that children must wear new clothes for the New Year," Erbao chattered.

"Yes, you and your brother and younger brother all have one. Mom will give you another New Year's gift, but it must be kept secret for now," Xiao Baoer tapped Erbao's little nose and said to him with a smile.

The three children were so happy when they heard this. They had new clothes to wear and received New Year gifts. They were so blessed.

The workers had finished making the clothes before the New Year, and there were still six days before the Chinese New Year. Before everyone went home, Xiao Baoer specifically asked everyone to come to her house at 10 o'clock the day after tomorrow to pay everyone their wages.

The next day, Shen Zhensheng went to the town with Shen Laowu. Shen Laowu went to deliver tea eggs, fried chestnuts and braised pork. This was the last delivery before the New Year, so the quantity was quite large. He had to deliver the goods that some factories in the town wanted.

Shen Zhensheng went to deliver the goods, and he and Shen Laowu specially loaded the clothes sewn at home onto the ox cart. Anyway, they were all going to be delivered to Zhou Bao.

After delivering the goods, Shen Zhenjiang went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. Shen Zhensheng wanted to talk to Zhou Bao about something, so he told him not to wait for him and to just take the ox cart back to the village.

After Shen Zhenjiang left, Shen Zhensheng talked to Zhou Bao about the issue of supplies. This time, without Shen Zhensheng saying anything, Zhou Bao took the initiative to ask for three times the supplies as before. Shen Zhensheng gave him three times the amount of some things and four times the amount of meat.

Zhou Bao gave him more than 10 yuan in payment for the goods, a large bag of old items, and new clothes and toys for his three children, exactly one new set of clothes and one new toy for each person, all of which Zhou Bao bought at the department store when he went to the county's black market to do business.

As for the New Year's red envelopes, Zhou Bao was still muttering that he would not give them out for now, and would give the children a big red envelope when he visited their home to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival.

After Shen Zhensheng finished dealing with Zhou Bao's affairs, he did not go to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Xie Lan first, because Shen Zhenjiang had gone to the supply and marketing cooperative, and if he went there now and met him, he would not be able to trade supplies.

Shen Zhensheng took out a bottle of Moutai liquor and two boxes of cigarettes, as well as White Rabbit milk candy and pork from the space, and took the things to the transport team to find his comrades, mainly to discuss the issue of going to work after the New Year.

After arriving, he asked where Li Guoqing's office was. When the man heard that he was looking for their captain, he enthusiastically took Shen Zhensheng to the office.

Li Guoqing happened to be in the office, and the two chatted for a long time in the office. Mainly, Shen Zhensheng had to arrange the time for long and short distance running. After all, Xiao Baoer would be six months pregnant after the New Year, so he had to take care of her more carefully.

Li Guoqing and Shen Zhensheng have always had a very good relationship, and his family has special circumstances that need more care, so let Shen Zhensheng make his own arrangements when the time comes. Just let him know in advance.

Shen Zhensheng was still quite grateful to him. After all, no other job could make him so satisfied.

The two also had lunch together in a state-owned restaurant. During the meal, Li Guoqing told Shen Zhensheng to find a smart and approachable co-pilot. After the New Year, he and Shen Zhensheng would go to the county for training for half a month and then report to the transport team.

Before Shen Zhensheng asked, Li Guoqing told him about the transport team's salary. The driver's salary was 45 yuan a month, and the co-pilot's salary was 15 yuan. These were the official salaries paid by the transport team.

However, there is a reason why jobs in the transport team are so sought after, and that is that the extra income of the transport team is very high. Many drivers will help others transport some things to sell and earn commissions, so it is difficult to say what the upper limit of the salary is.

The two of them separated after they had finished eating and chatting. Li Guoqing waited for Shen Zhensheng to get a note from the transport team for training after the New Year. Since he could drive a truck, there would be no problem with the training.

Shen Zhensheng went to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Xie Lan. Xie Lan had been waiting for Shen Zhensheng to deliver supplies these days.

Like Zhou Bao, she asked for more supplies than before. After all, it was the New Year, and people regardless of whether they had money or not had to buy some New Year goods.

Shen Zhensheng gave her twice the amount before and still asked her to secretly transport the things away at night. Xie Lan's supplies were nearly 100,000 yuan. She also gave Shen Zhensheng a bunch of things, including children's toys and new clothes. When Shen Zhensheng left, she gave Shen Zhensheng three red envelopes to take back to the children.

After all, it was a red envelope for the child, so Shen Zhensheng couldn't refuse it. He just put three sets of skin care products and a large bag of rare fruits on the table when he put the supplies for her.

This was also what Xiao Baoer had instructed. She guessed that Xie Lan would buy things for the three children. Shen Zhensheng, a grown man, couldn't refuse from Xie Lan, so she told Shen Zhensheng to put three extra sets of skin care products and fruits for her when placing the supplies. She would understand when she saw it.

Shen Zhensheng was still in the yard, taking out all the New Year gifts written on paper that his wife had arranged from the space, and also putting the New Year gifts for both parents into the backpack. Those that couldn't fit in the backpack were held in his hands.

After packing up, he found a ox cart in the town and returned to the village. Because he had a lot of stuff, he asked someone to drive the ox cart to his doorstep.

As soon as he entered the village on the ox cart, he attracted the villagers' attention, mainly because there were so many things on the cart that it was impossible not to look.

As soon as Shen Zhensheng arrived at the door of his house, the three children heard the noise and rushed towards him like little cannonballs. Shen Zhensheng quickly reached out and hugged them to prevent them from falling.

"Why are you running so fast? What if you fall?" Shen Zhensheng asked the three children to stand firmly and gently patted Sanbao's little butt.

Sanbao stayed on his father's clinging body and refused to come down. It was only when Shen Zhensheng said he had brought toys for them that he came down to look at the toys.

Shen Zhensheng took all the things on the ox cart into his house one by one, gave the man 6 cents, and he left. Shen Zhensheng closed the door.
