Chapter 219: The First Bouquet of Flowers
Manual gear is manual gear.
Isn’t it just multiple clutches?
Guan Youshuang felt that she would be able to learn it quickly by relying on her own intelligence.
She inserted the key into the keyhole and asked, "Coach, do I need to step on the clutch when starting the engine?"
Coach Liu looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Don't you know how to drive?"
"I can drive, but I've never driven a manual transmission."
Coach Liu understood that she must be talking about the toy cars in the amusement park.
So speechless.
If this is considered knowing how to drive, then their driving school would have closed down long ago.
Coach Liu did not get angry because Guan Youshuang was pretty and a woman. If other male students had said such things, he would have scolded them to death.
Coach Liu wiped the sweat from his head, rolled up his shirt sleeves a little higher, opened the passenger door, leaned over, and sat in.
He was fat to begin with, and when he sat in the car he moved so much that Guan Youshuang felt the whole car move.
"I always emphasize to students that the most important thing in learning to drive is to have a correct attitude. No matter if you have touched a steering wheel before, with me, you have to start from the beginning."
This coach is quite strict, but Guan Youshuang thinks what he says makes sense.
She nodded and said obediently, "Okay, Coach Liu."
"Well, let me first introduce you to the basic structure of the vehicle." He pointed at the steering wheel, "This is the steering wheel, used to control the direction of the vehicle."
Guan Youshuang: ! !
"This is the speedometer, which shows your driving speed. This is the tachometer, which shows the engine speed. These indicator lights will tell you important information such as fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, etc." Coach Liu pointed to the various dials and indicator lights on the dashboard.
"This is the gear lever. You need to learn how to shift gears correctly. Different speeds and road conditions require different gears during driving. I will teach you these in detail later."
"Let's take a look at these pedals." Coach Liu continued, "The thing on the left is called the clutch. The accelerator and brake are on your right foot. The brake is on the left and the accelerator is on the right. Don't get them mixed up!"
"Okay Coach Liu, I've got it all in mind."
The instructor smiled and nodded. "Very good, now you have a basic understanding of the vehicle. Next, we will slowly carry out the actual operation. Let's first learn how to lower the seat and rearview mirror."
Half an hour later, after confirming that Guan Youshuang had fully mastered the two skills of adjusting the seat and rearview mirror, Coach Liu said, "Back to your question just now, do you think it is necessary to step on the clutch when starting the engine?"
To do it or not to do it?
Guan Youshuang actually didn’t know, but since the coach asked this and he also said that cars with clutches are safer, then the answer should be “yes”.
After she gave the answer, Coach Liu was very satisfied and nodded, saying, "Yes, we should develop good driving habits from the beginning of our driving lessons, and safety comes first."
"Coach Liu is right. I will definitely pay attention. What should I learn next?"
"Let's learn how to control the clutch."
Just what she wanted.
Guan Youshuang was overjoyed and prepared to light a fire.
"No." Coach Liu waved his fat hand, "Just feel the three pedals under your feet first."
Guan Youshuang:? ?
"Feel it where you are?"
"Of course. You can't control the clutch yet. Even if you start the car, it will just stall and waste fuel."
Forget it, just do as they ask.
Guan Youshuang had already thought it through. As long as the instructor taught her how to use the clutch, the rest of the S-turns, parallel parking, and reversing into a garage would be no problem.
The most important thing now is to learn to control the clutch.
You have to learn it. These days, you can’t even buy an automatic transmission car in this small county.
Before I knew it, two hours had passed.
Coach Liu raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and said, "Okay, that's all for today."
Guan Youshuang was very anxious.
She just pressed the clutch a few times in vain this afternoon?
Whether it is a mule or a horse, you have to take it out for a walk.
How can you know how well the clutch is learned without starting the engine?
She said, "Coach Liu, I want to take two more lessons and actually experience the control of the clutch, is that ok?"
"Not today, there are other students." Coach Liu pointed to the location of the mobile house with his chin. Guan Youshuang looked over and saw that there were indeed a few people wearing straw hats sitting there.
She said, "Okay, then can I have 4 hours of lessons every day? I'm not very busy these days, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take the time to learn how to drive when I get busy next time."
Coach Liu thought about it and realized that school would start soon. Maybe the girl wanted to use the summer vacation to get her driver's license.
He said gruffly, "If you can get up in the morning, come over at 7 o'clock and I'll give you two lessons."
7:?
This driving school is so remote and there is no bus service. Whether you can get a taxi depends entirely on luck.
But in order to learn more and learn how to separate and connect as quickly as possible, Guan Youshuang still agreed.
When studying, you should not be afraid of difficulties and obstacles.
"Where do you live?" Coach Liu asked. "It's not easy to get there. If it's on your way, I'll give you a ride when I come over."
"I live near the Water and Electricity Bureau."
"Well, I'm going to pass the T-shaped street near the Water and Electricity Bureau this morning. You can wait for me at the intersection around 6:30."
"Okay, thank you Coach Liu."
"Well, go back early."

When Guan Youshuang came out of the driving school, she saw a familiar black Santana.
At this time, the sun was about to set, and the afterglow of the sunset shone on the car body, giving off a faint metallic glow.
Gu Errong was wearing a white shirt. He was tall, with his long legs naturally crossed, his arms easily folded across his chest, and he leaned casually against the car body.
He was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
His face looked particularly handsome in the setting sun.
Guan Youshuang's heart was deeply moved.
She touched her hot face, walked over, and said with a smile: "Why are you here? Aren't you still at get off work?"
Gu Errong raised her beautiful peach blossom eyes and said, "I'm done with my work. I know this place is a bit remote, so I came to pick you up. This flower is for you."
Guan Youshuang took it.
It's a bunch of violets, quite pretty.
She sniffed it and found it had a rich aroma that seemed a little sweet, a bit like licorice.
Without a mobile phone, Guan Youshuang had no way of looking up the language of violets.
However, since Gu Errong gave this as a gift, there must be some meaning behind it, such as the love of one's life, eternal love or something like that.
After all, this was the first time he gave her flowers, and they were such a romantic purple color.
"Is there anything particular about giving this as a gift?" Guan Youshuang asked, pointing at the Violet in her arms, while sitting in the passenger seat.
"Ok?"
"I mean, is there anything particular about giving violets as gifts?"
Gu Errong was confused and said, "Is there anything special about this? I heard that girls like flowers, and this one happened to be the cheapest in the store, so I bought it. This flower is called violet?"
Guan Youshuang: ! !
