After Zhang Wenyuan arrived at the factory, he took Da Zhuang and others to the grain station to get the factory's rations for the next month.

Li Jinzhong found Zhang Wenyuan and asked him to follow Wang Qiang from the transportation team to the Vehicle Management Office to take a driver's license test. Testing for a driver's license at this time was not as troublesome as in later generations. If you could drive and passed the test, you could get the license on the spot.

Zhang Wenyuan waited at the transportation team for half an hour, and then drove the factory truck to the vehicle management office with the newly recruited driver from the transportation team.

For the truck driver's exam, the captain of the transportation team must come forward and bring a letter of introduction from the factory to prove that the people taking the driver's license test are employees of the steel rolling mill.

This means that the service unit must be filled in on the driver's license. They are all third-tier steel rolling mills. Without a letter of introduction from the unit, it is difficult to apply for a license.

You need to apply in advance for the vehicle management examination, and the unit submits the application, so there are not many people taking the examination.

In the 1960s, the driver was also one of the eight major workers. It was a high-paying and high-risk job.

As the saying goes, once the steering wheel is turned, the county magistrate will not change it. That is to say, the driver's income is relatively high. For example, Zhang Wenyuan is still a trainee truck driver, and his salary is already thirty-eight.

Silly Zhu is now a tenth-level cook, and his salary is 27.5 yuan. He will take the grade exam soon. After he reaches level 9, his salary will be 31 yuan.

Everyone saw that Shazhu's salary was 37.5 yuan in the winter of 1965. At that time, he was an eighth-level cook, and his salary was 35.5 yuan, plus a two-dollar job subsidy.

Xu Damao is an eighth-level projectionist with a salary of thirty-five and a half yuan. His starting salary is higher than that of Shazhu, but he is still two and a half yuan less than Zhang Wenyuan, the trainee driver.

If Zhang Wenyuan becomes a regular driver, he will be a Level 4 driver. At that time, his salary will be 48 yuan, which will be a direct increase of 10 yuan.

Most other types of jobs will see an increase of four to five yuan, but drivers will see an increase of ten yuan. However, the first-level driver only earns 81 yuan, which is not as much as the eighth-level driver.

Zhang Wenyuan didn't think he could become a first-level driver in the steel rolling mill, because the spring breeze had already blown all over the ground.

Even in the 1980s and 1990s, being a driver was still a popular profession.

In fact, in this era, getting a driver's license is more difficult than becoming an official. These new drivers either rely on family connections or take the positions of family members and relatives.

At this time when employees are being laid off, it is difficult to get into a steel rolling mill, and it is even more difficult to get into the transportation team of a steel rolling mill. You have to find connections to get a job.

Wang Qiang came to the Vehicle Management Office and directly found an acquaintance, Comrade Li, who was the staff member responsible for invigilating the exam.

Comrade Li took a notebook, got on the truck of the steel rolling mill, and asked Zhang Wenyuan to drive on the road.

After Zhang Wenyuan went up, he first took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Comrade Li,"Thank you for your hard work, have a cigarette first."

Comrade Li took a look at the cigarettes in Zhang Wenyuan's hand, and found that they actually cost 50 cents a pack. Peony, this grade is not low. Great China cigarettes are only 60 cents, and those with filters are 70 cents.

"Xiao Zhang, right? I heard Lao Wang mentioned to you that you have an exam now and you can’t smoke. You can take the exam with ease and don’t be nervous. Comrade Li held the cigarette skillfully between his two fingers and put it on his ear.

Zhang Wen saw that he was not smoking, so he stuffed the whole pack of cigarettes into his pocket,"I don't know the exam regulations. You can't do this." Smoke slowly, I'm still young and don't smoke."

Comrade Li smiled and said sorry, stuffed the cigarette inside, picked up the notebook, and asked Zhang Wenyuan to start the exam.

Now he is taking the test in the yard of the Vehicle Management Office, and then he drives around on the road outside for a lap.. It is much simpler than taking the driver's license test in later generations, and this is also for people who can drive.

For example, Zhang Wenyuan often drives on earth and has run over 150 times on the highway, so he now feels that the speed of this truck is very slow.

But this People of that era are not good. At best, they have ridden bicycles, and the speed is incomparable with cars. Therefore, the speed of trucks is still fast in their eyes, which can easily cause tension.

Comrade Li is sitting next to Zhang Wenyuan. Talking, just watching him drive quietly, sketching in his notebook from time to time

"Okay, Xiao Zhang, please drive your car back to the DMV. My road test is over. Your skills are really good!"

This already told Zhang Wenyuan that he passed the road test. Before getting off the car, he thanked Comrade Li again, and Comrade Li waved to him with a smile. This young man is good, he is really a smart man. In fact, this era is better than that of later generations. I also took one more type of test, which was the machine repair theory test. Today's drivers must not only drive, but also repair cars. The cars at this time were not as sophisticated as later generations, and they were imitations of Soviet style, like Zhang Wenyuan's. The one they bought was directly imported, and the workmanship was very rough, just like the AK47 they made. It was durable, but it had to be repaired frequently.

Zhang Wenyuan answered the test paper quickly, thanks to his uncle's notes. This was already taken into consideration when teaching him how to drive.

There are no formal textbooks now, and the test questions are all copied by hand. Not many drivers rely on them, so these test questions are also copied by others.

Zhang Wenyuan checked it over , found no missing test questions, so he handed in the paper in advance.

Comrade Li was also there, took his test paper, looked at it for a few moments, a smile appeared on his face, nodded at him, and let him out.

Zhang Wenyuan He already knew in his heart that he was told in advance that the driver's license was already guaranteed, and it seemed that the pack of cigarettes was not given away in vain. In fact, according to Zhang Wenyuan's skills, there would be no problem at all in taking the driver's license test, but now the test is invigilated, not With machine proctoring, there is a high chance of something unexpected happening.

What if the invigilator becomes unhappy, what if the invigilator was hungry yesterday, what if the invigilator quarreled with his wife... these are all factors that will affect getting a driver's license. Safety factor.

Zhang Wenyuan thinks it is worthwhile to be able to solve these hidden dangers with a pack of cigarettes. However, there are also people who do not give anything and just get the driver's license.

They are other people, and Zhang Wenyuan is Zhang Wenyuan. In some places on the earth, the invigilator directly stipulates the number , for example, in the subject two exam, you can pass by paying a thousand and a half more, but you can't pass without paying. When you are about to finish the exam, he brakes, the car stalls directly, and you fail on the spot.

Therefore, many people are willing to Go to a major driving school in a big city to take the test. Although the fees are a bit more expensive, there are no such messy things during the test. If you can pass, you can pass. If you can't, you can't. No one will make trouble for you.

"Xiao Zhang, let's go back. When the Vehicle Management Office comes out with the results, the driver's license will be sent directly to the factory. After verification, the factory will give you a regular salary increase."
