In 1992, a small village owner became the richest man in the village by owning a car.

Chapter 323 What? The barbarians drove the excavator into the ditch?

Sun Shunli finished up the day's work, holding her notebook in her hand, before locking the car door and getting out.

By this time, most of the workers had already returned to the project site, with only a few still walking on the road.

Some people who live far away would hitch a ride, but Sun Shunli didn't. He wasn't used to relying on favors or hitching a ride with others.

"Hey! Old Sun, wait for me!" Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from behind.

Sun Shunli turned around and looked at the other person with a curious expression: "You are..."

The newcomer was thin and had a mustache that had grown quite long, almost reaching his chin.

Although Sun Shunli had a poor memory, he was quite certain that he had never seen this person before.

"Hey, I also drive a road roller. I'm Wang Sanye's apprentice. My name is Ma Gua. I'm a few years older than you, so you can call me Brother Ma." Ma Gua reached out and patted the other man's round shoulder, chuckling, "Nothing much. I received an order from Zhouyaowan Logistics this morning, saying there were personnel changes and the dormitories were being reassigned. That's when I found out I'm sharing a dormitory with you guys."

Sun Shunli nodded blankly.

Ma Gua secretly observed the other person's expression, but couldn't see anything, thinking to himself that this person was really a fool.

I had heard that the other party studied day and night, rarely interacted with others, and was not well-liked by Yu Da.

"Hey, brother, we're all just working for someone else. Although our boss and your boss have some disagreements, they can have their way of doing things, and we can have ours. We're all just employees. Now that we're living together, let's help each other out and not make things difficult for each other." Ma Gua spoke very frankly, but with a touch of sincerity.

Sun Shunli nodded in agreement, as long as it wasn't someone looking for trouble.

"I heard your roommates wouldn't let you turn on the lights to read at night? They're crazy! What's wrong with turning on the lights to read for a while!"

Ma Gua tugged at his right beard, looking indignant: "It's not like we're up all night. I'll talk to the others when we get back and tell them to turn off the lights at the designated time. Anyway, don't stay up too late, since everyone has to work the next day."

“…Thank you.” Sun Shunli’s eyes showed gratitude, but a sense of vigilance inexplicably arose in his heart.

Having experienced a major ups and downs in his life, he no longer views things as simply as before; he now thinks about people and events in a more divergent way.

"Heh, you're too kind, brother. We'll be living in the same room from now on." Ma Gua glanced at Sun Shunli and saw that he was somewhat grateful. He added fuel to the fire and said in a gentle tone, "As for me, I've been driving a road roller for almost ten years. I used to work for the government, but later, through various circumstances, I ended up driving under Master Wang. I wouldn't say I'm a great road roller operator, but I'm a little better than the average operator."

"I've driven your BMW BW before. If you encounter any problems while learning, feel free to ask me anytime."

Upon hearing this, Sun Shunli became even more wary, and even felt a sense of distance: "Thank you, Brother Ma. Xiao Tang has taught me a lot too. I suddenly remembered that I left a book in the car. You go first, I'll be there soon."

After Sun finished speaking, he ignored the other person's expression and quickly turned back towards the direction of the road roller.

Ma Gua was left standing there, and his already small triangular eyes narrowed even more: "Hmph, you don't know what's good for you."

Having said that, he ignored the idiot and turned to walk towards the project department's canteen.

Anyway, the task given by Master Wang was to befriend these two people. If one didn't work, there was always the other one.

Sun Shunli returned to the road roller, picked up a yellowed book from the floor beside him, and then plopped down on the black seat, beginning to ponder.

He didn't know whether or not to tell his brother-in-law about Wang Sanye's men moving into his room.

Also, did you tell him everything that the other party had clearly done?

After thinking it over, Sun Shunli dismissed the idea. He figured Xiao Tang would definitely tell Yu Dawei before he did. And the other party's show of goodwill didn't necessarily mean anything, but he had a feeling that the other party's intentions were not good.

"Sigh, I'm already disliked, so it's best not to cause any trouble." After thinking it over, Sun Shunli finally got out of the car in silence, locked the door, and went to the cafeteria alone to eat the leftovers.

For him now, the most important thing is to focus on learning, setting aside all distractions.

There are still so many things he doesn't understand. When operating the road roller, he still can't quite understand what's on the dashboard.

After eating at the cafeteria, Sun Shunli returned to his dormitory with his books. Only then did he realize that everyone in the dormitory, except for Xiao Tang, had been replaced.

At this moment, everyone was showering Xiao Tang with praise, and judging from their conversation, it was clear that the others knew each other.

"Hey? Old Sun's back." When Xiao Tang saw Old Sun return, he raised his head even higher: "Let me introduce you guys, this is my eldest apprentice, Sun Shunli. You can just call him Old Sun. He'll help me with things like fetching water for washing my feet and doing laundry."

"Wow! Brother Tang is amazing. He's so young and he's already taken on apprentices. We're so envious!"

"Who can argue with that? Old Ma is already fifty years old, and he hasn't taken on many apprentices, let alone anyone to serve him tea and water."

"Yes, young Tang is truly remarkable. He's so young, but his future is limitless!"

Sun Shunli, standing to the side, saw Xiao Tang's even more arrogant expression and his heart sank. Something was wrong! There was definitely something wrong with these people!

However, he still held back, cleaning the dormitory room while quietly reading a book in a corner.

Aside from Lao Ma, the other men under Master Wang were initially a little afraid of Sun Shunli, this burly man over 1.8 meters tall. However, upon discovering that he cowered in a corner like a sheep, their initial nervousness vanished. Afterwards, they would shower Xiao Tang with sweet talk whenever they had free time, even inviting him to share delicious treats they bought outside.

After a few days of this, Sun Shunli discovered that Xiao Tang had not told Yu Dawei about the dormitory change at all.

After thinking it over, he took the opportunity to give Xiao Tang a few words of advice privately.

Tell him to be wary of Wang Sanye's henchmen in the dormitory, and also tell him to inform Boss Yu about the dormitory reshuffle.

Xiao Tang was naturally somewhat displeased and kept defending Ma Gua and the others.

"Old Sun, Old Ma has always treated you well. He taught you how to operate the road roller, brought you food, and even pleaded for you to leave the lights on a little longer at night so you could study hard. You're so heartless! Why should I be wary of such a good person?" Xiao Tang said indignantly.

Sun Shunli was speechless. It seemed that the other party was indeed treating them very well and had no other intentions.

The momentary silence emboldened Xiao Tang, who reached out and patted Sun Shunli on the head: "Can you stop being so dull in the future? Everyone in the dorm calls you an idiot. You're one of my people, and you're making me lose face, you know that!"

"Alright." Sun Shunli sighed, knowing that he couldn't persuade Xiao Tang.

He could only secretly explain the matter to Yu Dawei.

One afternoon, when Yu Dawei went to the toilet, Sun Shunli followed him and mentioned that Wang San's men had been moved to their dormitory.

As for the fact that Xiao Tang was very close to them, Sun Shunli didn't say anything.

The main reason was that she was afraid that if she said it out loud, Yu Dawei would think she was jealous of Tang Chenwu.

Everyone around them could see what position he held in Dawei's heart, and what position Xiao Tang held in Dawei's heart.

After hearing Sun Shunli's account, Yu Dawei's mind sank slightly, realizing that Wang San was most likely after him.

After returning, he reminded Xiao Tang to stay away from Wang San's men.

On the surface, Xiao Tang agreed, but in his heart he hated Sun Shunli. From then on, he would bully this strong and fat Northeastern man whenever he had the chance.

Sun Shunli remained silent, focusing his energy on learning how to operate a road roller.

However, whenever he was bullied, it was always Ma Gua who stood up for Sun Shunli and smoothed things over. The other party even patiently taught Sun Shunli some tips on operating a road roller.

So much so that even Sun Shunli himself began to doubt whether he was being too sensitive and vigilant.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

It was May 1994.

Over the past few months, Yu Dawei has been accompanying Tang Chenwu and Sun Shunli, and Tang Chenwu's skills in operating the road roller have improved significantly.

He's almost reached the level of a master chef, which speaks volumes about his learning talent.

During the past two months, when it rained and we didn't work, Yu Dawei drove back to Laotun and Fanfan's repair shop several times.

On the one hand, I need to organize the accounts, and on the other hand, I need to check the progress of the factory construction and the working conditions of the employees.

Now that summer is approaching, Fanfan Repair Shop's average daily income over the past two months has reached 800 yuan, not including field rescues.

Yu Dawei consulted with Lao Ji for analysis.

Besides normal construction machinery, which accounts for the majority of repairs, tire repair, tire inflation, and agricultural machinery repair also account for a significant portion of repairs.

This surprised Yu Dawei, but after hearing Lao Ji's explanation, he understood.

Now that it's the busy farming season, there's naturally a lot more farm machinery repair needed. Fanfan Repair Shop now has six people, and compared to other repair shops in town, they are all top-notch repair experts.

A person's reputation precedes them; "The mechanics at Fanfan Repair Shop all come from the oil city!"

Once you got that reputation, 80% of the car repair shops in and around the town came to you.

In addition, its excellent location makes it easy to find, as it can be seen as soon as you get off the highway.

Therefore, it's hard for Fanfan's repair shop not to be successful.

The only thing that gave Yu Dawei a headache was that business was booming, but there weren't enough people.

According to Lao Ji, the brothers are working day and night and are almost exhausted.
