😊 The Sweet Couple in the Alley of the 1980s

Chapter 21-30

Chapter 21

◎The father and daughter saw Chu Ying driving over in a white Polonaise car◎

Contrary to what the siblings expected, they applied for three individual taxi operating licenses, but only mentioned two vehicles. The number of Polonaise imported every year is limited, and this year the plan is to have more than 1,000 units. Due to the shortage of vehicles, the remaining units cannot be allocated to them for the time being, and they can only wait for the vehicle to be picked up. Chu Ying thought it was good. They were ordinary people with no background resources. It was good to be able to get an operating license and buy a car when the country opened the pilot program for individual taxis.

Nowadays, there are many wealthy units who want to buy buses. Some units can't even buy buses. It's very successful for them to buy two cars.

The Polonaise has a grand and beautiful appearance, and the paint is shiny, but it is a hatchback, that is, a hatchback. Only a car with a front and a tail can be used as an official car. The Polonaise is not suitable as an official car, but it is suitable as a taxi.

This car was called one of the "Four Big Breakers in Eastern Europe" in later generations. It was said that the quality was not good, but the displacement of this car imported from China was 1.5L. Eighty-two horsepower, acceleration from 0 to 100 kilometers in 18 seconds, top speed of 150, and comfortable and heated seats. This configuration was already good in the 1980s.

Both Chu Ying and Chu Er were placed on leave without pay at the company, and each paid for pension insurance and medical insurance.

Chu Ying had no psychological burden, but Chu Er needed courage to give up her easy and high-paying job to become an individual. As far as Chu Ying knew, she could still retire and get a pension normally after paying her own social security. Many people in the 1990s Laid-off employees cannot apply for retirement when they reach the age. She is equivalent to arranging a way out for herself.

Come September, they finally get to drive their own car.

Chu Ying thought that if she didn't become a taxi driver, she might have to sell clothes if she wanted to get rid of her job as a bus driver and complete primitive accumulation.

I was even more excited than the first time I was married. I drove a taxi for the public for three years. I never thought I could drive my own car one day.

After handling these things, the first thing Chu Ying did was to go to Manager Yu and tell her that she had helped her a lot recently. If relatives and friends needed a car, just call her. She would definitely give priority and only charge for gas.

The pilot of private taxi stations in Beijing is strongly supported by the government. The company has employees to carry out the pilot and he supports it. Although there is a lack of an excellent driver, Manager Yu is still happy for her.

Manager Yu beamed with joy and said: "That's good, I know my disciple is an honest person. I'm not wrong about the person. I will definitely call you if I need a car, but I can't take advantage of you. You spent a lot of money to buy a car." When it comes to money, we must first consider getting back the original cost, so of course we will give as much as we should give."

I heard that the cadres of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau also helped them when they applied for the business license. Chu Ying also went to her eldest brother-in-law and said: "There are so many noble people who helped me when I bought a car. Thank the leader for me. Tell her about her relatives and friends." If you want to use a car, just call me and I'll charge you for the gas."

The eldest brother-in-law said: "Okay, I will definitely deliver the message."

Chu Ying was also making other preparations. She asked a tailor to make two sets of thick white seat covers, and hung two sachets in the car to cover the faint smell of leather and plastic. The car windows were also wiped spotless.
