Chapter 852 ‘Ordinary’ daily life in island rural areas (Part 2)
"Peter, this is your third trip today, are you following the driving rules?"
Village Chief Shi closed the book, and his amiable expression suddenly became majestic.
In response to Village Chief Shi's question, Peter was shocked and hurriedly replied: "Of course, Village Chief, I strictly follow the rules and rest for half an hour before each trip to avoid driving fatigued.
Moreover, this year the railway was finally built to reach the central plains, and the large steam train was officially opened to traffic.
Compared with the year before last, when goods were transported directly to Haixi City on the east side, this year you only need to drive to the nearby train station.
However, although the distance has been shortened, after using chemical fertilizers this year, the grain yield is higher than the previous year, so the number of trips will inevitably increase. ”
Village Chief Shi stared at Peter without any sign of fatigue, and then handed the notebook to Peter.
“That’s good, keep travel safety in mind and don’t wait until you have an accident and regret it later.
I heard from the head of another village that there was a driver in his village who finally got a driver's license, but he got into a traffic accident because of fatigue driving.
Although the damage to the machine and people was not serious, the driver's license was immediately revoked. ”
When Peter heard this, he instinctively clutched the driver's license in the inner pocket of his chest.
The word "revoked driver's license" brings more pressure to Peter than the mayor Shi in front of him.
You must know that not everyone can obtain this driver's license.
First, in order to get a driver's license, you must first learn to read and write a certain number of words before you can learn to drive.
On this basis, he also needs to learn a certain degree of knowledge in mathematics, physics, and mechanics.
Then, after passing the previous theoretical exam, you will be allowed to apply for practical exercises and exams.
These requirements are extremely difficult for the majority of poor people who have not received formal education.
However, fortunately, the Quan family, which rules the island, arranged adult night classes for them and made it mandatory for them to study after work.
Only if they successfully pass the basic requirements of night school can they be allowed to graduate from it.
The requirements for night school are not high. You only need to reach the level of six years of elementary school in your previous life to graduate.
Among them, people like Peter, who cherished opportunities and studied hard, learned at a third-grade level in just one year.
At the third grade level, you are basically qualified to participate in vehicle driving practice.
It took more effort than ordinary people to obtain the mechanical driver's license, but it was Peter's favorite.
With it, you can not only perform various tasks of controlling machinery, but also get more rewards than ordinary people.
The houses, land and rice fields they live in now are not their own.
This was all temporarily lent to them by the Quan family in advance. To put it simply, it was a zero-interest loan.
They do not get all this for free. They also need to work hard and continue to repay the established loan before they can truly obtain the right to use it.
In this regard, all residents were not disappointed, but instead aroused their fighting spirit.
Because, on Blue Silver Island, starting from night school, a platform will be provided to learn various skills and knowledge.
As long as your IQ is within the average range and you choose to study hard, you will always have something to eat.
Of course, these scattered opportunities require people to grab them themselves. For those idle people, Blue Silver Island will not be unkind to them.
Because of this, people like Peter value the results of their efforts even more.
Seeing that Peter had listened to his suggestion carefully, Village Chief Shi stopped scaring the man in front of him.
He quickly changed to a smile and changed the subject: "I heard that your son performed very well in the college and ranked third in the class in the exam.
I remember your child just turned three this year. "When he mentioned the children, Peter straightened up immediately, and his face was full of pride.
"Of course, this kid will learn from me and has a certain talent in science. After he awakens his martial soul, if he doesn't have soul power, I plan to let him continue to study science in depth.
When you grow up, you will become a talent in manufacturing and designing machinery. ”
Mayor Shi looked gently at Peter, who was looking forward to the future, and was filled with emotions in his heart.
Like the two of them who have no soul master talent, even if they give birth to a child, there is a high probability that they will inherit their blood and become a person without talent.
However, here, in addition to soul masters, there is another profession that will receive no less respect and preferential treatment than soul masters.
That's the blacksmith.
The blacksmith here is a broad concept. If you break it down, there are mechanics who design and manufacture steam machinery, and there are also soul engineers who forge rare soul-guiding metals and make soul-guiding devices.
The soul guide part requires soul power to be manufactured, so it was not within their expected scope.
However, mechanics are a road to heaven left to mortals.
As far as they know, in the blacksmith association on the island, there is a blacksmith Yuan who, with his mortal body, has ascended to the highest seat on the same level as the divine craftsman Lou Gao.
With such an example in front of them, how could they not think about it.
Even without the talent of a soul master, humans can create powerful machines that surpass soul masters by relying solely on their own strength.
This clear fact gave them, mere mortals, hope.
The same is true for Village Chief Shi. He took great pains to stay away from the town and came to the latest and most advanced position in the development. He served as the village chief just to lay a better foundation for himself and his children.
Give him more options in the future.
After this group of mortals, who have been suppressed for countless years, find an entrance to break through the bottleneck, their explosive power will exceed everyone's imagination.
"By the way, I have another good news here. I will only tell you this news. Do you want to listen?"
Chief Shi's expression became extremely mysterious, which made Peter a little uneasy, but his inner curiosity drove him to nod.
Although Village Chief Shi had an honest expression, he was playful and quite sinister in his heart.
He hooked his fingers, asked the other party to listen to him, and whispered in a low voice.
Peter, who didn't know what message he heard, suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Really, really"
Seeing Peter's excited reaction, Village Chief Shi quickly raised his index finger to his lips and said: "Shh, shh, keep your voice down, do you want this place to be messy?"
Peter hurriedly covered his mouth and shook his head silently.
Village Chief Shi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, glanced at Peter and said: "Remember, don't make a big deal about this matter, just know it in your heart.
Okay, it's time for you to go to work. ”
The village chief, who was scared to death, waved Peter away.
Peter also suppressed his excitement, drove his car, and went to carry supplies.
The reason he was so excited was a simple message.
"The young master is back."
This short sentence completely dispelled the fatigue of long-term driving.
