Chapter 703: Chapter 703: With Righteousness in Their Hearts
Clearly wanting to be praised by his fourth aunt, when he was praised by her, Qin Jianshe became embarrassed instead.
His face turned red, and he started to smile awkwardly.
He scratched his head uneasily, almost avoiding eye contact with Lin Chuxia, “Well… it’s not as good as what fourth aunt praised…”
“In fourth aunt’s eyes, you’re excellent,” Lin Chuxia patted his shoulder and affirmed.
The two children from the eldest sister-in-law’s family were well-educated; the elder, Qin Jianjun, is steady and meticulous, while Qin Jianshe is quick-witted and eloquent.
The reason why the eldest sister-in-law always praises the elder while criticizes the younger probably alludes to the saying ’far away smells good, close by stinks’.
Knowing that his fourth aunt and Manager Wang had more to discuss, the praised Qin Jianshe left the office with a flushed face.
Wang Cheng showed Lin Chuxia the profiles of the other drivers who received their internship certificates.
They were all young men in their early 20s, with Qin Jianshe being the youngest, having just turned 19 this year.
Including Qin Jianshe, three were from Qin Family Village, and two were from neighboring villages.
Additionally, two experienced veteran drivers were hired.
The fleet had just been established, and the business needed gradual development, currently focusing on the Qin Family Village Vegetable Market and the Xiyang Food Factory.
“These young ones will need guidance for some time, with two seasoned drivers alongside Sun Guodong. If needed, Factory Director Su can temporarily allocate one or two over; I also have a driver’s license. Although I’m not as experienced as those who have been driving for years, I can manage. After these six months, once the young ones are trained, we can adjust formally…”
Wang Cheng briefly outlined the upcoming arrangements to Lin Chuxia.
After reviewing the driver profiles, Lin Chuxia looked up and smiled, “There’s no need for you, Manager, to drive personally. I’ve already talked to Hou Xiaobao, and barring any surprises, he’ll be over by tomorrow morning.”
When planning the fleet establishment, it was decided that Hou Xiaobao would manage the fleet.
That youngster might not be adept at other things, but when it comes to driving, he’s exceptional.
Years of practice have also honed his people skills considerably.
During his half year at the Rong City Office, he handled various tasks excellently, even earning compliments from his mother’s cousin.
Wang Cheng said, “Good, with Houzi here, I can relax.”
…………
Originally expecting Hou Xiaobao the next morning, he arrived later that afternoon.
He and Wang Cheng gathered all the drivers to get acquainted and arranged work for the upcoming days.
Prepared this time, Hou Xiaobao brought his bedding and clothes, and Wang Cheng arranged a market-side office for him where he directly moved in.
Lin Chuxia knew Liu Na had just given birth, and had hesitations about letting him lead the fleet.
But upon discussing with Hou Xiaobao, he agreed without hesitation.
According to him, now having a son, he should even more strive for their future.
Facing the opportunity, he wished to seize it and work hard.
Driving was a job he loved.
Not concerned about living separately from Liu Na, he planned to buy a house in Ancheng County once settled, then bring his family over.
Without elders, Liu Na had her brother and sister-in-law, and the child was always taken care of by themselves.
The mall initially considered Liu Na’s competence, wanting to retain her position, but Liu Na outright refused.
In her eyes, Hou Xiaobao’s salary alone sufficed for the family’s needs. She didn’t seek wealth, only coarse food and peace, prioritizing raising her child well.
Everyone has their path; though Lin Chuxia didn’t agree with tying one’s life to spouse and children, she respected others’ choices.
The next morning, everyone got up early, setting off before dawn.
After breakfast, Lin Chuxia heard the vehicles had already returned.
Coinciding with the weekend, Little Zhuangzhuang shouted excitedly as he ran inside, “Auntie, auntie, lots of big cars arrived at the market, really big cars.”
He and Qin Han went to play at the agricultural supply store, adjacent to the vegetable market, and noticed the fleet when it arrived.
Hearing Qin Han boastfully claim these big cars were bought by his auntie filled him with pride.
Excitedly rushing back to share the news.
Little Yaoyao understood ’big cars’, and wobbled her tiny legs outside.
Qi Qi didn’t comprehend everyone’s chatter but seeing the enthusiasm of the older kids made her happy, clapping hands eagerly, bouncing, wanting to go out.
Mrs. Qin laughed and said to Zhuang Jingshu, “That’s how it is in the village; everyone gets involved. Let’s go and join the fun.”
Zhuang Jingshu knew everyone cared because the vehicles pertained to the future transportation of Qin Family Village’s vegetable greenhouses; with secure sales, the farmers worked with vigor for good harvests.
Authorities to the villagers’ interests were in question, yet reaching the village entrance, their enthusiasm still amazed Zhuang Jingshu.
Having come with Lin Chuxia, and not far, Mrs. Qin placed Little Yaoyao and Qi Qi in a stroller, leading them on foot.
Throughout the short journey, villagers warmly greeted them.
Especially towards her daughter, the interaction was genuine.
Hearing Lin Chuxia was still in the village, some hurried back to their greenhouses to pick fresh vegetables for her.
This resulted in Mrs. Qin’s stroller soon brimmed not with children, but various fruits and vegetables.
Watching her daughter engage warmly with the enthusiastic villagers, without the slightest airs, a deep sense of pride washed over Zhuang Jingshu.
Her daughter far exceeded her expectations, carrying great responsibility.
The newly purchased vehicles were stationed at Qin Family Village Vegetable Market, surrounded by throngs of people.
Concerned about crowding the children, Mrs. Qin and Zhuang Jingshu stood on the steps of their agricultural supply store, while Lin Chuxia moved into the crowd.
Seeing Hou Xiaobao and the others, knowing everything had gone smoothly, reassured her.
New vehicles awaited registration, something they’d gradually handle.
No concern needed for the on-looking crowd.
With the fleet, everyone could focus on farming without worry, watching as much as they like.
Lin Chuxia returned to the office with Wang Cheng and Hou Xiaobao.
Since his return, Sun Guodong had been watching something.
Market surroundings were bustling, with smiling faces discussing the newly acquired trucks, but familiar faces were absent.
He frowned, realizing he wasn’t needed here, bid Wang Cheng goodbye, and left.
