"Okay, don't panic, wait until the car stops before getting off!" "Sifu Xu, the one in front of you Stop at the intersection!" "Okay, wait until you get to that flat terrain before getting off, it will be safer!" On the winding mountain village road, under the premise of ensuring safety and smooth traffic, the No. 340 bus adopts the "stop at the wave of the hand" method. The responsive approach of "just say hello and get off" makes it convenient for villagers to travel.

"Most of the people who take this bus are elderly people from the village and neighboring villages. They have difficulty moving, so you must pay special attention to safety when getting on and off the bus!" In the past 9 years, the No. 340 bus driven by Xu Kaijun has been safe and convenient, and there has never been an accident. Responsible for accidents and disciplinary violations.

"When does the bus leave? Have the children at home come home from school? Have you picked up something if you dropped it..." Xu Kaijun responded enthusiastically and promptly to the villagers' inquiries. Sometimes villagers don't have change when taking a bus and can't change it. Xu Kaijun always helps them make up the difference. When a villager came to pay back the money, he smiled and said, "Keep it, I can take the car home later!"

"Uncle Zhang, did you buy so many things today? We are just in front of your house, get ready to get off." From the dispatch point all the way to the Dansong Village terminal, the villagers are relatively fixed, which station they get on and which station they get off. , Xu Kaijun is relatively clear. Over the past nine years, his friendship with the villagers has deepened day by day with a greeting and a nod.

"Master Xu is really kind to people. If it hadn't been for him, my wife would probably have died!" Wang Zhongbing, an 84-year-old man from Group 9 of Dansong Village, clearly remembers that at about 8 o'clock in the morning on March 20 this year, his wife Pu Lizhen was alone. I went to town for a physical check-up and passed out shortly after getting off the car. Upon seeing this, Xu Kaijun hurriedly sent Pu Lizhen to the local health center and contacted his family.

When he was approaching the market, he suddenly started sweating profusely on his head and complained that his stomach hurt. When Xu Kaijun realized something was wrong, he promptly sent Wang Defang to Danlin Health Center for treatment.

"Master Xu", "Xiao Xu", "Brother Jun", "Uncle Xu"... In the past 9 years, the gray-haired grandparents who go to the market, the workers who go out to work, the students who go to school, etc., Xu Kaijun and them are like a family. There was laughter and laughter all the way in the carriage.
