Rebirth at Seventy: Counterattack on Life

On Monday, public transportation officially opened for business.

The address is in a bungalow outside the public works section.

At the door, a string of firecrackers exploded, and the people watching at the door peeked in one by one.

"What is this for?

Do you want to do business now?Aren't you afraid of reporting such a big news? "

"It's not personal. I heard it's a collective established by the Public Works Department, like a post office, to help deliver things."

The two onlookers were muttering to each other, and someone who knew something inside could help explain it to everyone.

"Yes, our public transportation department specializes in transportation. If you want to send something to relatives in distant places, but you can't deliver it, you can mail it here. It's faster and cheaper than the post office.

They only go in one direction when there is enough space for one car to go, and ours leaves almost every day.

Moreover, it is transported by rail, which is faster than ordinary mail sent by the post office. "

Zhou Jinxin heard them talking and quickly explained.

"Hey, why do you need to send it by mail? Just find a sports car driver and ask him to take it with you."

Another man in work clothes, obviously also from the railway system, said with his chin raised.

“It’s okay to bring small things occasionally, but what if it’s something big.

You want to send some cotton, or if you don’t have enough food, you want to send some grain. How dare you ask someone to bring you such a big baggage?

Just because you are so embarrassed, is it really convenient for others? "

Zhou Jinxin was not angry when he heard what he said, but analyzed the problem for him.

"Is there anyone else delivering food these days? I've never heard of it."

The worker curled his lips, thinking that it was impossible for her to say this.

"Why not? If you have children who go to the countryside and don't have enough to eat, wouldn't you want to give them some food when you have plenty of money?"

Zhou Jinxin asked rhetorically.

Just say whether you care about the children or not.

When she said this, the people around her were obviously moved by her.

"Can you go anywhere?" an aunt poked her head out from behind the crowd and asked.

"It can go anywhere that the train can reach. After you finish sending it, you can call their team going to the countryside and tell them when and where to pick it up.

Generally, the brigade headquarters has a tractor that you can pick up when someone in the brigade goes to town. It is also very convenient to borrow a bicycle to pick it up. "

Zhou Jinxin explained to her carefully.

“I want to give my children some winter clothes and quilts.

Go to the south, quite far away.

How much do you see?

I went to the post office and asked, but it was too expensive, and by the time the stuff arrived, it might be too hot to use. "

When a middle-aged woman heard what she said, she quickly came forward to ask.

“Depends on how heavy it is, and also depends on the specific place.

Generally, it takes about three days in the south, and only [-] cents will be charged for less than five catties. For more than five catties, an additional five cents will be added for each catty. "

An ordinary package at the post office costs one yuan to reach the capital, let alone places farther away.

And the re-weighting only costs [-] cents, which is the same price as a stamp at the post office.

There are a lot of things that can be transported.

Suddenly many people were interested.

"You guys can transport things, right?

It just so happened that my girl gave birth to a big fat boy. It was too far away and I couldn't go there. I made some clothes for the baby and saved some brown sugar for my girl. I want to transport them there together. Can that be done? "

An aunt asked, leaning her head.

"Of course, let's register and weigh in."

Before Zhou Jinxin could say anything, Wang Fugui ran over to receive the aunt.

The lady was still carrying the big package in her hand. She was obviously attracted by the movement here on her way to mail something.

Isn't this a coincidence?

Five minutes later, the aunt paid 5 cents, left the name and address of the consignee, and left with a shipping certificate.

"Is this the end?"

The person next to me asked unexpectedly.

It's not that easy to mail something from the post office.

"Ah, it's all registered. I'll just call my uncle later and ask him to pick it up at the freight section over there.

The people here said that if you don't want to pick it up, you can pay an extra [-] cents and have it delivered directly to the designated address. "

The aunt said that the service was really good, but she didn't want to part with the fifty cents, so she had better let her uncle get it by himself, and then ask the old man to call him at work.

"The people over there also said that this is the registration certificate, and if anything is lost, you will be compensated."

The old lady happily raised the voucher in her hand.

It was as if the presence of this thing gave her a sense of security.

"Hey, when you say that, it's really good.

I also went home to pack my things and quickly mailed them to my children. It was really warm over there while I waited. "

The aunt who was the first to ask about the price also became interested and quickly went home to pack her things.

If there is one, then there are two. When people around saw someone mailing something here, they also became interested.

As the New Year approaches, those who have relatives and friends they haven’t seen in years should also contact each other and send some New Year gifts.

After going back and forth, the business on the first day was surprisingly good.

The train schedules for this freight section are all listed here. How to depart every day, where to go, and where to pass have been given to several recipients. Everyone can come almost as soon as they open their mouths.

Zhou Jinxin felt quite satisfied when he saw everyone proceeding in a chaotic and orderly manner.

Sure enough, people these days are serious and really good at work.

Wang Fugui and Liu Jiujiang filled in the form, checked the goods, and numbered the packages on the outer woven bags.

The attitude is very correct and the work is very serious.

Looking at the people in the room who had not broken up until now, Zhou Jinxin felt quite satisfied.

It’s not bad to have such an effect on the first day.

Hope it will be better in the future.

"Why are you here? Where are you going to mail it?"

Zhou Jinxin looked up and saw that it was easy. Song Zhengyang was pushing the bicycle with a package behind him. It seemed that he was also mailing something?

"I originally wanted to support you, but unexpectedly, business is very booming."

Song Zhengyang was in a meeting early in the morning and came here just after it ended.

I originally thought that if there was no business at first, I would open one for her.

Anyway, at the end of the year, I should give something to my family.

"What's all this?"

Zhou Jinxin looked at the square small package and asked Song Zhengyang with a smile.

"Send some specialties to my grandpa."

Song Zhengyang didn't say much. In fact, there really wasn't much to say. They were just some food. The old man was not lacking in this food at all.

Come here, Song Zhengyang also experienced it.

It was weighed and paid, and it cost an extra fifty cents to have it delivered to my home.

But I dare not let the old man get it by himself.

He's quite old, and when he goes out to get such a small amount of food, he still has to call him to educate him.

Because the capital was not far away, the next day, Grandpa Song, who was playing chess with his old friends at home, received several snacks from his grandson who was working in a small county in the northeast.
