Chapter 195 Qualifications for Driving a Motorcycle
As the clock ticked, Lin Dong started the screening after nine o'clock.
As Lin Xiangdong operated the projector, images began to appear on the screen. As the film was playing, the sound also began to sound, and the sound and the picture were presented synchronously.
When the movie started, Lin Xiangdong began to explain the plot; while Nie Aiguo stood behind him and studied carefully.
By closely observing Lin Xiangdong's operation of the machine, Nie Aiguo was able to learn some techniques.
After more than an hour, the movie came to an end.
The finishing work was still completed by Nie Aiguo.
In a blink of an eye, Lin Xiangdong had spent four days in the factory learning to ride a motorcycle.
Wei Guoqing, who taught Lin Xiangdong motorcycle skills, had long since faded his surprise - even though they only practiced for about an hour a day, Lin Xiangdong's skills were now as good as his own.
It doesn't make sense to say that he had learned it a long time ago. After all, riding a motorcycle and riding a bicycle are two completely different things.
During this period, even owning a bicycle was rare, and it was quite difficult to borrow a bicycle for practice with the help of connections. And those who owned motorcycles were even rarer, so where could they borrow one?
Everyone was surprised that Li Huaide allowed Lin Xiangdong to learn to ride a motorcycle in the factory.
Everyone knew that Li Huaide was trying to make friends with Lin Xiangdong.
For example, Director Yang's attitude towards Lin Xiangdong was unusually subtle.
In fact, Li Huaide also wanted to show goodwill to the foolish "Sha Zhu". He liked "Sha Zhu's" cooking skills very much, but unfortunately, this person's ignorance prevented Li Huaide from achieving his wish.
It was only because of "Shazhu's" superb cooking skills that Li Huaide was tolerant of him.
Of course, the fact that "Shazhu" comes from a third generation of hired farming is also a reason why people are daunting.
In addition, the action of Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level lathe operator, to protect "Shazhu" from wind and rain, coupled with the background of the deaf old lady who is a five-guarantee household, makes it even more difficult for people to offend him easily.
If Li Huaide wants to target "Silly Zhu", he has to weigh the pros and cons.
"After just a few days of practice, your skills have reached a level comparable to mine," Wei Guoqing praised Lin Xiangdong.
"It's all thanks to your careful teaching." Lin Xiangdong replied with a smile.
Over the past four days, Lin Xiangdong has changed from deliberately pretending to be unskilled at first to now showing his true skills.
Thanks to Wei Guoqing's high praise, Lin Xiangdong is preparing to submit a request to the factory for permission to take the motorcycle driver's license test - otherwise he will not be issued a certificate of qualification even if he passes the test.
With Wei Guoqing's approval, it should not be difficult to obtain the motorcycle driving qualification, so Li Huaide gladly approved the documents applied by Lin Xiangdong.
The motorcycle driver's license test is not conducted inside the factory, but is located in Chongwen Book Building in the east part of the city.
Carrying the admission letter issued by Deputy Director Li, Lin Xiangdong set out for Chongwen Book Building.
When it comes to motorcycle riding skills, it belongs to the category of motor vehicle type.
In fact, the types of motorcycles vary, such as large trucks, small cars, small motorcycles with a bracket wheel on the side, and standard two-wheeled motorcycles.
Some may argue that the statement that the first legal motorcycle license did not appear until 1984 is actually misleading.
Some people have misunderstood the black and white pictures of motorcycle driver training that appeared in 1984 as evidence of the first verification of the scenario.
Apart from the motor vehicle operating licenses that already existed during the Liberation period, and the motorcycle licenses issued in the concession areas, during the 1951 period alone, the heavyweight "Jinggangshan" series of motorcycles were produced in the Beijing No. 6 Distribution Factory.
Taking all the above facts into consideration, it is clear that motorcycles existed before the 1980s. How could it be possible that no one has verified their existence? This conjecture is untenable.
In the current situation, the prestige of riding a bicycle is almost comparable to that of driving a car in a few decades, not to mention the dignity brought by a motorcycle.
To be honest, Lin Xiangdong found that this world was different from the 1960s he knew.
For example, the Five-Guarantee Policy was a system that should have appeared in Lin Xiangdong's original world in the late 1990s, but in this world, the deaf old lady had already benefited from this policy several years ago.
After all, this was a virtual plot, and some phenomena that were inconsistent with reality did not surprise Lin Xiangdong too much; he had become accustomed to it.
Since the vehicle type that you "learn" to drive at the factory is a three-wheeled motorcycle with a sidecar, you can only take the driver's license test for a sidecar.
Lin Xiangdong was very excited to think that in the future he would be able to ride a motorcycle with a sidecar when showing movies in the countryside.
...
"What? Lin Xiangdong went to take the motorcycle driving license test?"
Xu Damao, who was busy cleaning the toilet, heard from someone that Lin Xiangdong had applied for a motorcycle driver's license. His expression instantly turned bad.
In recent days, Xu Damao noticed Lin Xiangdong driving the motorcycle with a sidecar in the factory.
Seeing that Lin Xiangdong's driving skills were becoming more and more proficient, he began to get a little worried.
Did Xu Damao ever make a bet with Nie Aimin?
If Lin Xiangdong can get a driver's license within these two months, he will lose twenty dollars.
Now, less than half a month has passed since Lin Xiangdong started the driver's license test. If he succeeds, it will take less than half the time.
Xu Damao felt very distressed when he thought about losing the twenty yuan.
In the past, when Xu Damao was a film projectionist, his salary was quite good. After earning extra income, his monthly income could reach around 40 yuan.
But after switching to cleaning toilets, Xu Damao's income dropped sharply to less than two dollars.
Fortunately, he is still a single; if he still shoulders the burden of supporting a family, his income may only allow him to eat porridge on a daily basis.
Now Xu Damao can only hope that Lin Xiangdong will not fail the driving test.
However, Lin Xiangdong should have a certain degree of confidence in applying for the motorcycle driver's license test. Moreover, it has only been a few days.
Even if he fails to pass this time, Lin Xiangdong can still challenge again.
This also means that the possibility of him not being able to get a motorcycle license within two months is quite small.
At the same time, Sha Zhu, who came to the toilet, took the opportunity to mock Xu Damao.
Even though he was sarcastic, deep down in his heart Sha Zhu felt regretful - if only he could participate in betting like Xu Damao.
After all, he underestimated Lin Xiangdong!
...
Lin Xiangdong stores his bicycle in the covered parking area outside Guangming Building.
Holding the application certificate issued by Li Huaide, he came to the motorcycle driver's license examination site.
After simply filling in some information, someone will provide guidance.
In fact, it is relatively easy to obtain a motorcycle driving qualification in this era;
To pass through a series of roadblocks and drive along a specific route requires certain driving skills, but it is not difficult for Lin Xiangdong.
He completed the entire set of tests in less than half an hour.
As expected, it received the highest rating.
Lin Xiangdong was very happy to have successfully obtained a motorcycle driving license.
Although this is limited to three-wheeled motorcycles and is far from the scope of two-wheeled motorcycles or even cars, it is still strictly defined.
Even if Lin Xiangdong could drive a motorcycle, since he didn't have a driver's license, Li Huaide didn't dare let him drive outside.
It was still early, and Lin Xiangdong had no plans to rush back to the factory cafeteria for lunch, so he planned to go out for a meal to celebrate.
Ride a bike around the city, then go to Wangfujing for dinner, and then slowly return to the factory after you are full.
As soon as Lin Xiangdong returned to the factory, many workers surrounded him and asked for details.
It is well known that Lin Xiangdong has recently been learning to drive a sidecar in the factory.
He also heard that Lin Xiangdong was going to apply for a motorcycle driver's license, so when they saw Lin Xiangdong coming back, everyone was naturally very concerned about the result of his application.
"Dongzi, did you pass the exam?"
“What is the motorcycle driving test like?”
Faced with curious inquiries, Lin Xiangdong smiled and showed his motorcycle driver's license.
When the onlookers saw the driver's license Lin Xiangdong showed them, their eyes widened in astonishment, because having a motorcycle driver's license was extremely rare in this era.
There are more than 10,000 people in the entire factory, but only a handful of them hold certificates.
Upon learning that Lin Xiangdong had actually passed the assessment, many people were quite surprised and felt jealous.
Countless envious and jealous eyes were focused on Lin Xiangdong.
......
In the workshop, Qin Huairu was working lazily and heard what several workers who had returned from the workshop were talking about. She learned that Lin Xiangdong had obtained a motorcycle driver's license.
"Lin Xiangdong actually got a motorcycle driver's license?" Qin Huairu was very surprised.
Her mood at this moment was not only surprised but also mixed with a lot of envy.
Suddenly, Qin Huairu had an idea that she could ask Lin Xiangdong to pick her up when she returned to her parents' home in the future.
In this way, when she returns on the motorcycle, Qin Huairu will undoubtedly look very elegant.
I must say, her idea is brilliant.
If Lin Xiangdong knew Qin Huairu's idea, he could only say that her idea was too beautiful.
Instead of working conscientiously and responsibly at her job, she always has these unrealistic dreams.
On the other hand, Yi Zhonghai, who worked in the same factory, was also surprised when he heard the news that Lin Xiangdong had obtained a motorcycle driver's license.
He muttered, "Dongzi is becoming more and more successful."
If Lin Xiangdong and his wife could take care of him in his later years, Yi Zhonghai could throw away any obstacles without any regrets.
Even though Yi Zhonghai had this plan in mind, he did not say it directly.
According to Yi Zhonghai, he thought that he had a good relationship with Lin Xiangdong and that he would probably rely on him for his retirement. If he could match Dai Zhu with Qin Huairu, then it would be a sure thing.
......
Guo Dapiezi looked gloomy. When he returned to work after the Spring Festival, his business skills seemed no longer as good as before.
He is fine for making some simple parts, but if it comes to something more delicate, he will find it difficult to do.
Overall, his benchwork skills have declined.
