The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

While Li Kaixin and his apprentice were joking around, the commune members finally loaded all the grain onto the cart.

Secretary Qin walked over from the entrance of the granary with a hearty smile on his face: "Captain Wang, the grain is all loaded, you can set off now!"

"Okay, Secretary Qin!" Captain Wang replied with a smile, then turned and called out to the transport team, "Everyone, give your vehicles a good check, we need to prepare to head back!"

Without hesitation, the members of the transport team who received the instructions set off and headed to their respective vehicles.

Only Sun Yingjun didn't seem to care and continued chatting and laughing with the girls.

At this moment, one of the tall girls couldn't help but speak up, "Comrade Sun, your team leader asked you to inspect the vehicles, aren't you going?"

"No need! Cars aren't that delicate." Sun Yingjun said nonchalantly. "Don't look down on the old car I'm driving now. It's just that I've only just arrived at the station. I'll be able to get a new car in a few days."

"You know, I'm a Level 5 driver."

"Wow! Comrade Sun, you're so amazing! Your salary must be very high, right?" Another petite and pretty girl asked, blinking her eyes.

"Not high, not high at all, the basic salary is only fifty-two yuan." Sun Yingjun said modestly, but his face couldn't hide his pride.

"However, we usually don't just look at this, there are also subsidies for driving, which can amount to fifty or sixty yuan."

"Comrade Sun, then you have over a hundred in total? That's almost as many as Secretary Qin's." The petite girl continued, her tone filled with admiration.

Comrade Sun puffed out his chest, his expression arrogant: "This is considered low. It's only because I'm still young that I've earned so much more."

The girls' eyes lit up after Sun Yingjun's boasting.

A monthly salary of just over one hundred yuan is almost equivalent to the work points her family earns in a year.

I couldn't help but feel even more envious of that girl named Wang Lili.

A year ago, when they learned that they had married a man from a transportation station and become city dwellers, they were extremely envious.

Now that I know that drivers earn such high wages, I can't suppress my envy even more.

But then they thought about it again and their minds started to work: Isn't there one right in front of them?

When they looked at Sun Yingjun again, their eyes held a fervent, indescribable eagerness.

Sun Yingjun was so engrossed in the admiring gazes of the girls that he didn't notice the changes in their expressions.

Just as the girls were thinking about how to get closer to talk, Captain Wang's booming voice rang out: "Everyone, hurry up and get on the bus, we're starting!"

Hearing the call, Sun Yingjun knew it was time to get on the bus, so he smiled at the girls and said, "Comrades, I have to go now. I'll have a good chat with you next time I come."

"Comrade Sun, you must come see me next time you visit!"

"Comrade Sun, be careful on the road."

The girls chattered amongst themselves, their voices filled with reluctance and concern.

Sun Yingjun didn't turn around, but upon hearing these words, his vanity was once again greatly satisfied.

After he left, the girls who were originally quite close started to dislike each other, subtly insulting one another, and in the blink of an eye, they seemed to have become enemies.

All of this was so that when Sun Yingjun came again next time, she would have a chance to speak to him alone.

But none of them knew that this might be the last time they would see Sun Yingjun.

The transport team left Niubaotun Commune and was on its way back to Beijing.

Because the truck was fully loaded with public grain, everyone drove with extra caution.

As Sun Yingjun drove in the middle of the convoy, he grew increasingly impatient seeing the car in front of him moving at a snail's pace.

He turned the steering wheel, broke away from the group, and sped past one car after another.

As they were about to catch up with Li Kaixin's car, Sun Yingjun rolled down the window and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Kid, what's the use of driving such a nice car! I might as well have let you drive it!"

After saying that, he stepped on the gas again and sped past.

Zhou Zhiming glared angrily, "Master, look at his behavior! He's far too arrogant!"

"Zhiming, calm down." Li Kaixin gripped the steering wheel and spoke calmly, "You have to believe that arrogance will eventually be punished by heaven."

After overtaking Li Kaixin, Sun Yingjun's car quickly caught up with Captain Wang's car, which was leading the convoy.

Captain Wang had spotted it in the rearview mirror long ago. Although he was holding back his anger, as the team leader, he couldn't help but lean out the window and shout:

"Comrade Sun! Don't drive so fast! We're hauling public grain; if something happens, no one can afford the consequences! Get back to the unit!"

"Captain Wang, I'll say it again, you just need to mind your own business!" Sun Yingjun said, stepped on the gas, and drove straight past.

Seeing that the entire convoy had been left far behind, Sun Yingjun felt an indescribable sense of exhilaration.

The astonished looks in the eyes of the experienced drivers and apprentices when he overtook them were still lingering in his mind.

But his smugness didn't last long. Suddenly, a strange noise came from the chassis of his car, and then the steering wheel started to drift and became unresponsive.

Sun Yingjun panicked and quickly stepped on the brakes.

However, he had been driving too fast, and the truck was fully loaded with grain. When he stepped on the brakes, the truck only paused slightly and couldn't stop at all.

Captain Wang, at the head of the convoy, noticed that Sun Yingjun's speed was abnormal in the distance and shouted anxiously, "Sun Yingjun, what are you doing? Slow down right now!"

But instead of slowing down, Sun Yingjun's car accelerated forward again.

Captain Wang's heart tightened, but the truck was loaded with a full load of public grain, so he dared not accelerate to catch up. He could only watch helplessly.

After trying both the handbrake and the brakes and finding they didn't work, Sun Yingjun was completely terrified.

Fortunately, the road was uphill, and after the car surged forward for a while, it finally slowed down and crashed into a large tree with a loud thud.

The front of the car, which was already somewhat deformed, was now completely crushed.
