He Yu and several classmates were very happy and relieved to be able to rent a carriage and go to Lasha to earn money.

"You, He Yu, are very courageous and full of clever ideas. It was unthinkable for us to make money by going to La Salle on Saturday and Sunday nights."On the way back to school, a classmate said

"This is called wanting to change when you are poor. Don’t you understand this? I remembered it only when I went to Nanmen Street at the back gate of the school at night and saw Uncle Gao driving a carriage to sell sand.

A cart of sand can be sold for one yuan. If we pull two carts in one night, we will have one yuan and fifty cents left in addition to the rental fee.

Do the math, two cents per steamed bun, how many steamed buns can you buy with this money? How long will it take for four of us to eat? If you don't do this good job, why not be happy?"

"good! When we are hungry in the future, we will look to you to find a solution"

"But everyone must keep it secret and not let other students know, let alone Teacher Gao.

Otherwise, our good deeds will come to nothing!"He Yu made a special confession.

The next night was Saturday. After dinner, He Yu made an appointment with three other classmates and went to the horse shop outside the south gate to find Uncle Gao. Uncle Gao installed the bamboo fence surrounding the sand. , and prepared hoes and manure for them.

When they left, Uncle Gao helped them make careful arrangements.

He asked He Yu to be in the middle, put on the shoulder pole and drive, and said:"You are the one who controls the direction, the pole Lift and control it firmly."

He asked a classmate to stand next to He Yu and help He Yu hold on to the steering wheel and control the brakes. He explained:"On flat roads, you can help He Yu push forward with all his strength. When going downhill, be sure to pull on the brakes tightly, lift the handlebar, and lean back hard to help He Yu stop the car from rushing forward.

Then, he arranged for two other classmates to say:"You two are behind the car, one on each side."

Push forward hard on the flat road. When going downhill, I have tied ropes on both sides of the car. You must pull the rope tightly, push back hard, and never let go.

He Yu has already seen that you can pack as much sand as I pull, and you can't pack more.

Of course, you can't install less, otherwise the inspector will deduct your money."

Everyone felt that this uncle was too caring and responsible for them.

One classmate said:"Uncle! You are so kind-hearted and care about us like our parents. It makes us embarrassed. We don’t know how to thank you?"

Other students also said in unison:"Thank you, uncle!"

They followed the uncle's arrangement, pulled the carriage and set off.

When they went up the big turn, the slope was a bit steep and the curve was big. A classmate said worriedly:"What if we can't hold it when we pull Shaxia down such a steep slope? manage?"

"Shut that stinking mouth of yours, and before you stop speaking, you are saying unlucky things."Another classmate accused him of

"What he said was also to remind everyone that we must not be careless when going downhill. When we go downhill, we should try to walk out as much as possible. In this way, the curve will be big, the slope will not be sharp, and the speed of the vehicle will be slower.

When the transfer comes, everyone just needs to follow my instructions."

They pulled the carriage for more than two kilometers and arrived at the hillside behind the artillery regiment.

Everyone saw that the entire hill was covered with white sand. They dug and lifted it, and in a short time it was full. He

Yu got into the car pole, put on his shoulder shawl, and used both hands to lift the car pole.

A classmate in front helped He Yu pull it forward, and the two classmates behind pushed hard on the left and right sides..

They were smiling happily as they walked, feeling that pulling a horse was nothing special and was relatively easy.

Along the way, many people talked about them: some asked suspiciously:"Why do you use people to pull the carriage? It's really rare."

An old man followed the car and asked He Yu:"What are you going to do? We have only seen horse-drawn carts, but never people pulling the carts? Are you doing it for fun? Going downhill can be dangerous!"

"Old man, we are students from Qujing Normal University. We use our breaks to do work-study programs to earn some money and solve the difficulties in our lives. We are not doing it for fun."

"I see, you are really good, but you must be very careful!"The old man explained to them with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, old man, we must be careful!"He Yu said.

It's true: the driver driver is kind-hearted, and it's rare to make serious arrangements.

It's so rare to use people to pull the cart, and passers-by suspect that he is joking.
