Baishan Forestry Bureau can be regarded as a microcosm of many large state-owned enterprises in Northeast China.

There are hospitals, schools, shops, etc. in the enterprise, which are diverse and relatively closed.

Many workers' children have lived here since they were born. They attend education classes, primary schools, junior high schools, etc. here. When they get sick, they can go to the hospital here and work here when they grow up.

Life, old age, sickness and death are all covered.

"Fourth brother, have I gone back?"

After watching Xu Dahai board the Yanling carriage, his cousin Xu Hu went back on the worn-out [-] big bars.

"Woo~~"

The long black leather train sounded its whistle and slowly began to move forward along the railway track. The carriage shook and made bursts of "Besides, besides, besides -" sounds.

There were no seats in the carriage, so everyone sat on the floor. Those who were prepared even brought small mats with them, and sat together chatting with acquaintances.

Xu Dahai sat in the corner without talking to anyone else. He hugged his cloth bag tightly and closed his eyes to rest.

The Yanling car is hung on the wood-carrying train and is specially used to carry people. It is mainly for the convenience of Baishan Forestry Bureau employees and their families to go to the county town.

After all, it would be too tiring to pedal on the big bar all the time.

Generally, trains depart early in the morning and late in the evening, which is considered an internal benefit for employees. It seems that the existence of such carriages is not very formal, so it means that trains depart a bit secretly.

A few years ago, nearby villagers had to pay 2 cents a time to take the bus.

However, most of the villagers are miserable. The Forestry Bureau is extremely rich and powerful. I don’t know which leader made the announcement. Now the villagers don’t have to spend money to take the taxi.

In the county town, I took a blue bus with white underside to go to Tonghua.

The exhaust pipe of the passenger car travels inside the car and finally leads to the outside of the car, which is equivalent to the heater in the car.

Xu Dahai, who was wrapped tightly in clothes, was no longer so cold.

Looking out the window at the forest and snowy fields, I can occasionally see old hunters or roe deer, wild boars and the like in the forest.

"There are so many wild boars. We should organize militiamen to go into the mountains and kill them all. Otherwise, they will come down the mountains and cause harm to the crops in autumn. How much food will be lost."

A white-haired old man on Xu Dahai's right looked at the wild boar in the forest.

Xu Dahai didn't speak, and still chose to close his eyes and rest, because if nothing unexpected happened, he wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep in the next two days.

The train from Tonghua goes to Yanjing, where it reverses to Wenzhou.

The train departed at 9 a.m., and after waiting for an hour in Yanjing, I got on the train to Wenzhou.

“It’s so crowded!”

Xu Dahai sat on his seat and carefully protected the big cloth bag. Seeing that many people couldn't squeeze in through the train door, he chose to get in through the window.

Cursing.

Many people were carrying large luggage, such as fertilizer bags, sacks and the like, and some even wanted to carry large baskets on their backs.

"Huh~ Taking a train is like going to war." Xu Dahai looked out the window and his eyes slowly lost focus. The surging crowd was all gray, light blue and old cotton-padded clothes, with thin faces, almost the same.

There is an old green train parked across the tracks, and workers are constantly transporting coal to the front of the train.

The train is powered by coal, and it cannot run without coal.

"Big brother, big brother, what are you looking at so fascinatedly? We meet again, we are really destined!"

A voice suddenly rang in his ears. When he turned around, he saw a fat, smiling face with rosacea and big ears, carrying a large wooden box on his back, and he was a little too enthusiastic.

Xu Dahai had a good memory. The fat man seemed to be on the Tonghua bus as well, and their seats were not far apart.

These days, meat is expensive, oil and water are scarce, and fat people are really rare.

"Yes, we are destined. Where are you going?"

"Go to the south. I heard there are many opportunities in the south."

The fat man was also very slick. He and Xu Dahai were chatting in random directions. He didn't say anything in his own message, but kept repeating Xu Dahai's words.

It was now past 9 o'clock in the evening. Xu Dahai ate two pieces of cake with water and ignored the fat man on the excuse of sleeping.

The fat man curled his lips and didn't bother anymore.

I secured my suitcase, changed my seat, and went to chat with others.

In fact, Fatty wanted to know what was in Xu Dahai's big cloth bag.

He suspected that Xu Dahai also took the train to speculate. What was in the bag was undoubtedly a new business opportunity.

It's a pity that Xu Dahai doesn't want to talk to him.

In this era, transportation was inconvenient, state-owned supply and marketing cooperatives were slow to respond, and they were not very sensitive to various materials. The prices of many things in different places varied greatly.

Therefore, there are many small vendors like Xu Dahai.

"Woooo~"

The train whistle occasionally sounds, accompanied by the noise of "ding", "ding", as well as the sounds of passengers on the train chattering, coughing, walking, farting, eating melon seeds, etc.

As long as you can sleep, there will be ghosts!

And the seat is very hard, which makes it very uncomfortable after sitting for a long time...

Of course, there was a mixture of fish and dragons, there were too many monsters and monsters, and it was unclear who the thief was, so Xu Dahai didn't dare to sleep.

I can only squint my eyes and retain as much energy as possible.

"The red ginseng is worth 3400 yuan. In addition, I still have 1000 yuan on me. I can't let thieves steal it... No wonder Yang Han and the others are as sleepy as grandsons every time. It's really exhausting."

The morning after two days away from home.

Xu Dahai finally got off the train at Wenzhou Railway Station.

"Suck! The temperature is much higher than in the Northeast." Xu Dahai saw that the trees inside were still green, and many of the pedestrians coming and going were wearing single clothes.

"There are so many low old buildings. In a few years, these buildings will basically be demolished."

Maybe it's because he's young, or maybe it's because the sleepiness has passed, but Xu Dahai is not so sleepy now.

Spending 3 cents to take the tram, admiring the rustic cultural scenery of the times along the way, he first went to the city department store to buy a brand new gray tunic suit, a black cotton coat, leather shoes, and new boots.

"This should be made by small factories in the towns below. The quality is quite good."

I didn’t take a bus anymore, so I walked forward with my red ginseng and clothes, passed Nanchanqiao Primary School, and passed by local women pushing bicycles back from shopping for groceries.

Xu Dahai quickly asked in a good manner where there was a hotel, and the eldest sister enthusiastically gave him directions.

"A hotel? Cross the bridge first. Have you seen the towel factory? Yes, that's the towel factory that's steaming. Go forward along the road to the north of the towel factory..."

Standing on the Wanli Bridge, Xu Dahai looked at the clear river water. Why did he feel that the river was much wider than in later generations?

In his last life, he lived in Wenzhou for about 12 years, and he remembered that the river was quite narrow.

If you don't understand it, just forget about it. The minutiae are not worth bothering with.

The eldest sister knew from the accent that Xu Dahai was from outside, and she enthusiastically changed the direction and took him to the hotel.

Seeing that he had opened a room in a small hotel, the eldest sister happily pushed her bicycle home. Many people in this era are very willing to help others.

……

"Your eyes are red, as if you've eaten a child to death. How can you negotiate business with someone like this? Go to sleep and regain your energy before talking."

Xu Dahai returned to the hotel room, closed the door, and quickly lay on the bed to sleep.
