Chapter 57
Early the next morning, Jiang Xiaobai took someone to check out, found Yichun, handed him the two pastries he bought yesterday, and asked him to pass one to the office director.
The remaining portion was handed over to the aunt in the cafeteria during the morning meal.
"Okay, I wish you a good journey." Yichun sent Jiang Xiaobai and others to the gate of the Bayi Steel Plant.
"Thank you, Brother Yi, goodbye." Jiang Xiaobai waved and led the people to the station.
Li Siyan was not in a very high mood along the way because she would part ways with Jiang Xiaobai and return to the capital as soon as she arrived at the station.
"It's okay, it's only a month. When we meet in the capital, you go to the station to pick me up." Jiang Xiaobai comforted Li Siyan while walking.
"Well, when I go to the train station to pick you up, you will wear a white shirt, and I will be able to find you at a glance..." Li Siyan looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said reluctantly.
"Well, white shirt, I will buy a new one, it will definitely be snow-white,"
"Well, when I went there, I would wear a pink floral skirt. If you look for me, I will raise a sign with the words Jiang Xiaobai on it."
"Well, I wrote a little bigger, otherwise I wouldn't have a good look and I wouldn't see clearly..."
"Okay..." Soon everyone arrived at the bus station. Liu Aiguo led the others to buy bus tickets back to the county town, while Jiang Xiaobai accompanied Li Siyan to buy bus tickets in the provincial town.
There is no direct train to Beijing in Shangdang City. If you want to go to Beijing, you need to take the bus to the provincial capital Longcheng, and then take the train from Longcheng to Beijing.
"Go to Longcheng, one ticket costs 1 yuan." In fact, many people say that the prices are cheap at this time, but people's income is also low.
So relatively speaking, prices are much different from those in later generations.
For buses from the Dangshi City to the provincial capital, the ticket price is one yuan. At this time, 1 yuan is already the income of many people on a day, and even more people can’t reach one yuan a day.
In the 40 years of reform and opening up in the later years, the price of tickets increased by 70 times, and a ticket costed 70 yuan.
But relatively speaking, people's income is even higher. If the income reaches 70 yuan a day, basically everyone can achieve it.
"Okay, give me one." Jiang Xiaobai took out a dollar from his pocket and handed it into the ticket window. After a while, a ticket was handed out.
"The train is about to leave. You can go to the backyard to find the train yourself." The ticket sales lady said coldly, then turned around and started chatting with other ticket salesmen in the window.
Jiang Xiaobai and Li Siyan didn’t care about the attitude of the ticket sales aunt. Anyway, this is the case at this time.
When Jiang Xiaobai and Li Siyan found the car, there were already many people riding in the car and the driver was starting the car.
The old bus made a "thump" sound, and black smoke came from behind the butt.
"Xiaobai, my things in Jianhua Village are almost done. When you go back, pack them for me and send them to the post office in the town, and then send them to the address I gave you."
Li Siyan looked back at Jiang Xiaobai's instructions.
"Okay, I'll write it down. If you don't have enough money when you go back, call the town post office. When I go back, I'll say hello and ask me to call me and I'll send you money."
"Well, don't worry, this thousand dollars is too much, it's not necessary..."
"Let's go, get in the car." The driver honked the horn in the car again, and Jiang Xiaobai said with a smile.
Li Siyan nodded, turned around and was about to get in the car, but suddenly turned around and threw himself into Jiang Xiaobai's arms, hugging Jiang Xiaobai tightly.
"You must come, I'll wait for you in the capital." Li Siyan whispered in Jiang Xiaobai's ear.
Later there was a poem called "Slow in the past", which was written in it: "The sunlight in the past became slow, and cars, horses, and emails were slow, and I only love one person in my life."
It sounds very romantic, but in fact, only by truly living in this era can you experience more sorrow than romance.
Every time, due to the inconvenience of communication and transportation, goodbye is far away.
"I know, I will definitely go." Jiang Xiaobai nodded.
"Didi." The bus made another urging voice. The two of them let go of their hands, and Li Siyan turned around and the bus.
The bus drove away with black smoke. Jiang Xiaobai stood by the platform, looking at Li Siyan, who was waving his hands and waving his hands and tears in his eyes, and was talking in his mouth.
Jiang Xiaobai also waved his hand vigorously and said goodbye silently.
The car gradually faded away until it disappeared from sight, and time seemed to be frozen at this moment.
The girl waved her hand, shed tears, and shouted goodbye, and slowly moved away with the bus until she disappeared.
Jiang Xiaobai has never felt this way. It was obviously a short separation, but it was heartbreaking.
When Liu Aiguo came to greet Jiang Xiaobai, Jiang Xiaobai came to his senses.
On the bus back to the county town, Jiang Xiaobai was still in a heavy mood. Looking at the changing scenery on both sides of the road outside the car window, his mood gradually emerged from the atmosphere of price.
When we returned to Zhangxuan County, it was already noon. This time, we didn’t have time to hurry. Jiang Xiaobai and everyone came to the small restaurant opened by Lao Zhang for dinner.
Seeing Jiang Xiaobai bringing so many people, Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly smiled happily.
"Xiaobai is here, there are not enough tables and chairs. I'll borrow some more. You guys will give it a try first." Lao Zhang said with a smile, explained to Jiang Xiaobai, and walked outside.
There are only two or three tables in his small restaurant, and there are not so many chairs prepared. At once, more than a dozen people couldn't sit down.
Soon Lao Zhang and a middle-aged woman came back with a table and chair.
"This is your sister-in-law, this is Jiang Xiaobai." Lao Zhang gave a brief introduction and asked, "Xiaobai, what are you eating?"
"Hello, sister-in-law, Brother Zhang can do something simple, do whatever you have, just eat enough, you can watch it."
Jiang Xiaobai said casually with a smile.
"Okay." Lao Zhang nodded, full of excitement. Jiang Xiaobai and other acquaintances and neighbors came to have dinner.
Jiang Xiaobai has always been generous, and with so many people, he can earn at least several dollars or even more than ten dollars after this meal.
Liu Aiguo and Wang Xiaojun were both here with Jiang Xiaobai, but they were not surprised, but others were talking about it. Unexpectedly, someone opened a small restaurant at this time.
You don’t need food coupons or something when you eat, just give money. However, when you think of the existence of the black market, everyone also understood.
Lao Zhang has good skills. He has a few simple side dishes and fragrant rice to make everyone eat.
I spent a total of 24 yuan when checking out, and on average, one person costs less than two yuan.
But this meal has already spent a month on an ordinary middle-class family.
