Exciting 1979!

Chapter 44: The Old Driver Guides Me (Please Read!)
Although Wei Ming is tall, he is very agile. He mastered the survival skill of climbing trees under the guidance of Lao Wei since he was a child.

He felt that if this event were included in the Olympics, he would definitely be a strong contender for the silver medal.

As to why it's not a gold medal.

Isn't that Lao Wei's?

Wei Ming quickly arrived at the little white cat's location, while the senior was responsible for comforting the philosophy master Mr. Feng Youlan below, as he was really worried about his cat.

There are many wild cats in Peking University, especially in Yannan Park, which is large, sparsely populated and has a good ecology. Most of the old professors are cat lovers and often give them food, so this is the favorite place for wild cats to live.

Mr. Feng is considered to be the best among these cat-loving professors. He has a cat at home, and his daughter, the writer Zong Pu, has written many articles about the stories of her old father and cats.

"Your name is Mei'er, right? The cat really lives up to its name~" Its fur is long and smooth, it should be a lion cat, or a little female cat, but it does not have heterochromia.

Wei Ming had already put down his sleeves. Although the kitten was cute, its little claws were very sharp when it was in a panic.

"Don't be afraid, uncle will be gentle~"

He soothed the kitten in a gentle voice, then unexpectedly grabbed its scruff, yanked it off the tree trunk, and held it in his arms.

Mr. Feng was terrified. He was afraid that Mei'er would get hurt and that the young man would fall.

After controlling the cat, Wei Ming performed a one-handed tree climb, with an extremely fast speed, like an ape-man.

Mr. Feng took Mei'er from Wei Ming and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, young man. Come on, come in and have a drink of water."

Wei Ming smiled and declined, saying, "Old man, cats are better at climbing trees than humans, and this tree isn't very high. Don't be too anxious if you encounter this kind of thing next time. It will learn to climb down by itself."

"I know other cats can climb trees, but Mei'er is a bit stupid and hasn't mastered this skill yet."

"Meow~" Mei'er stretched her white and tender thighs comfortably in her master's arms.

Wei Ming: Naughty cat!
Old Feng added, "Besides, my Mei'er is pretty and very attractive to cats. Just now, a wild cat chased her and wanted to make friends with her, which frightened her and made her climb up a tree."

"Ah, was there a wild cat just now?" asked the senior.

"Yes, a yellow-haired one."

Seeing that the old man loved his baby cat so much, Wei Ming didn't want to discourage him. The old man was just acting like a father.

The beautiful kitten in your eyes is not as pretty as those flashy tortoiseshell and calico cats in the eyes of male cats. Those are the most beautiful cats.

After leaving Yannan Garden, the senior looked at Wei Ming and said, "Little Wei, are you good at climbing trees?"

"Let's just say I spent the night in a tree."

"Why are you spending the night in a tree?"

"When I was little, I ate the meat that my family prepared for the New Year. If I didn't stay up in the tree at night, my dad would have to celebrate the New Year with the meat from my butt."

"Hahaha, you," the senior was overjoyed, "Then here is a more dangerous mission, are you willing to give it a try?"

"What mission?"

~
The senior took him to the entrance of the dining hall, where there was a persimmon forest. Around October was the time when persimmons were ripe. The ones at the lower parts had already been picked by the students, and only some at the higher parts were left.

Because persimmons will automatically fall off when they are ripe, they may hit people. If they don’t hit people, they will fall to the ground and become a soft puddle that is difficult to deal with.

Wei Ming looked at the height of the tree. Is that it?

"Prepare a pair of scissors for me, and ask a few more people to hold the bags down there. You can't handle it all by yourself."

There is a persimmon tree in his house that is much taller than this one. Since he was ten years old, picking persimmons has been his job.

Soon Wei Ming climbed up a tree with the scissors. People who often climb trees have a good idea of the tolerance level of trees.

He wandered around the main trunk, pruning what he could, and simply breaking off branches that he couldn't and throwing the whole branch down. He wouldn't be able to reach it next year anyway, so there was no point in keeping it.

After a tree, Wei Ming climbed up another tree and moved to another place. Sure enough, it took several people to catch up with his speed in cutting persimmons.

Also a school security officer, Wei Ming had the added bonus of being a writer, being handsome, and being the nephew of Director Wei. The leaders treated him differently, the girls and some boys at Peking University admired him very much, and it was impossible that no one among his colleagues made sarcastic remarks about him.

But seeing him today, he led the charge, unafraid of danger and hard work. His simplicity and integrity as a farm boy made those who had said sarcastic words about Wei Ming feel ashamed of themselves.

Wei Ping'an happened to pass by here at this time. Seeing Wei Ming on the tree, he couldn't help but think of his childhood in the countryside. This Xiao Ming really looks like Brother Jiefang.

Bah, bah, bah, how is Xiao Ming like him? He is obviously much stronger than him. There is no comparison. How can a bright fire compete with the bright moon!

When Wei Ming came down from the tree, Wei Ping'an came over.

"Director Wei." Wei Ming is very disciplined and always addresses others by their job titles when working.

"Yeah." Wei Ping'an came over and affirmed everyone's work results.

The senior immediately said, "The key is still to rely on Xiao Wei. We old bones are not that flexible."

Wei Pingan then took out two newspapers from behind him. "These are yesterday's and today's Wenhui Daily. I remembered this when I saw young people in the office reading your novel. This is your first published novel, and it's worth keeping."

Then he added, "I'll send the third copy to you tomorrow after I finish reading it."

The implication is that he is also catching up.

Wei Ming: Those who follow the updates are all angels!
Seeing that Wei Ping'an was about to leave, Wei Ming quickly picked up a branch with a dozen red persimmons hanging on it.

"Director Wei, we have too much here and we can't finish it all. How about you take some?"

Wei Ping'an didn't bother to be polite with him and carried the branches back to the office.

Wei Ming got off work at four o'clock in the afternoon. He harvested several baskets of persimmons. His senior asked Wei Ming, the biggest contributor, to decide how to distribute them.

Wei Ming only took two fruit-laden branches for himself, and asked everyone to distribute the rest to his colleagues in different positions.

The senior said: "Okay, I'll tell them later that it was Wei Ming who invited them, haha."

The persimmons were still a little hard, so Wei Ming put them at the south gate to dry after he returned.

At that time, Liu Zhenyun had not finished his get out of class yet, Biaozi was still on guard, and Mei Wenhua had gone to the National Games figure skating rink to clean the ice. He was very good at it.

So he packed a bag, returned the five books from the library, and borrowed a few more.

Then he found the school bus fleet, where there were many buses in addition to cars.

Peking University now has a branch in Changping, and teachers are asked to go there for classes every day. Wang Xiaoping, whose future husband I met today, the famous director Zheng Xiaolong, is studying there.

Someone was doing maintenance on the car outside. Wei Ming asked and quickly found Master Liu.

Liu Wenjie had just returned from work and was drinking tea and reading the newspaper.

"Hey, when did Xiao Wei come back?"

"Master Liu, I just arrived," Wei Ming said as he began to take out his bag. "I have brought back the wine. I guess you have been craving for it for a long time, so I brought it to you right after get off work."

"Oh, don't worry, don't worry." Master Liu took it and found that Wei Ming had stuffed the five yuan back into his pocket.

"Hey, why did you give me the money? It's not appropriate, and it's five dollars."

Wei Ming smiled and said, "They only sell it for 15 yuan, so naturally there will be 5 yuan left."

Knowing that Wei Ming didn't mind the money, Master Liu accepted it with a smile.

"Xiao Wei, how about I treat you to a meal today? It can be any restaurant, just tell me." Master Liu said generously. A meal only costs a few dollars.

Wei Ming waved his hand and said, "Master Liu, I won't eat anymore. The girls in the Chinese department are lining up to treat me to a meal. But I do have something I want to ask you for help with."

As he spoke, Wei Ming took out the Daqianmen cigarettes he had bought earlier and handed one to Master Liu. This cigarette cost 3.9 yuan a box, which was considered high-end.

He was a smoker in his previous life, and he had too many troubles. He doesn't want to smoke in this life, but it is necessary for socializing.

Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief, took the cigarette and lit it. It was good that he came to ask for help. He was afraid that he would owe others a favor and not be able to repay it, so he would always be thinking about it.

Then Wei Ming brought up the idea of taking a driver's license test.

Master Liu exhaled a puff of cigarette and said, "Leave it to me. You don't have to worry about anything. Just wait for me to call you."

Then he explained to Wei Ming the process of taking a driver's license test.

First, you need a letter of introduction from your employer and then go to the vehicle inspection office to get the registration form.

Then, an experienced driver with more than three years of driving experience in the unit was chosen to serve as the instructor, and the unit signed and stamped its approval. Master Liu was the natural choice for this experienced driver.

Then you will be given two booklets, one "Traffic Rules" and the other "Mechanical Knowledge". You can go back and study them on your own. After half a year, you can apply for the exam and take a written test.

After you pass it, you can talk about the road test. It will take at least a year to get the certificate.

After hearing what Lao Liu said, it was quite troublesome. Besides, there were no driving schools these days, and without an experienced driver like Master Liu to guide him, he really wouldn't be able to do it.

Master Liu patted Wei Ming on the shoulder and said, "When you pass the exam, are you going to join our school team?"

"I'm just afraid that you won't accept me." Wei Ming said with a smile.

"Talents like you are sought after everywhere. Let me tell you, our school team can really see the world. Do you know who I just dragged the principal to pick up?"

"Who?"

"Oh, actually no one, just a vice president of the United States~"

Master Liu calmly blew out two smoke rings, which rose slowly, one forming the word "牛" (cow) and the other forming the word "B" (B).
………………

(ps: one forms the word "月", and the other forms the word "票"~)
