The train departing from Yangcheng goes all the way west.
As the altitude gets higher and higher, the temperature gets lower and lower.
When the train entered the Desui County Railway Station, a transportation hub in Saibei, the exhausted furniture factory workers finally breathed a sigh of relief!
The hard seats for two days and one night are really crowded.
Among all the cadres and workers who came out of the furniture factory this time, no one was of that level to be a sleeper worker.
Even in the sleeper compartment of this train, after passing Taiyuan, most of the sleeper compartments were empty.
But there is no way.
Regulations are regulations. If it is not of that level and there is no certificate from the unit, even if the sleeper carriage is empty, it will not be open to ordinary employees.
As for this trip, the provincial government actually gave Luo Xuan an indicator to fly.
But in fact, even if you go to take a plane, you still have to suffer.
First of all, how to get from the city to Baiyun Airport? Then you can only take the bus.
At this time, it was the peak of the Canton Fair, and there were many foreign guests coming and going. How could I be the director of the industrial office of a commune with my own small position?
You can't afford to step on other people's toes.
Even if someone steps on you, don't dare to make a quarrel, otherwise, huh!
Rather than suffer the cowardly attitude, Luo Xuan thought it would be better to take the train.
When taking a train, you actually have a sleeper ticket.
But the people sitting there were all big shots. Not particularly big or big ones, they were all in soft sleepers.
But although the people in the hard sleeper compartment are not as good as the big guys in the soft sleeper compartment, they are not too small either.
Anyway, if it hits the instep, it still hurts a lot.
If I ran into the sleeper car, I wouldn't be able to make any mistakes in what I said, let alone talk nonsense.
Otherwise, will someone explain the righteousness of life to you head-on, and teach yourself a principle lesson with a straight face?
That would make people worry to death!
After much deliberation, Luo Xuan decided to just squeeze in the hard-seat carriage with all the furniture factory workers.
Although the body suffers a little, at least the spirit is free.
Just thank you for your hard work, Hu Yin.
This little daughter-in-law has been sitting on the train for such a long time, which not only makes her long legs, but also makes her blood sink due to lack of exercise for a long time.
As a result, Hu Yin's calves began to swell, and she used her lips too much, and her whole body felt a little swollen.
As the train went shopping and eating, after a long journey, it finally slowly entered the Desui Railway Station.
At this time, it was late at night.
Although Desui County Railway Station is a big station, at this point, the lights in the square have long been extinguished.
This place is located on the edge of the Mu Us Desert, where the temperature difference between day and night is large.
As everyone walked out of the station, they were greeted by a biting chill.
Looking around the entire train station square, there are only some "late-night shops" with a few dim incandescent lights on here and there.
It makes people feel a little bit desolate when they look at it, and they can't feel the fireworks of the world at all.
Especially since everyone has just returned from the most prosperous place like Yangcheng to the most backward Saibei.
The psychological gap it brings and the impact it has on people's souls.
It is undoubtedly very huge.
But fortunately, the land in Desui County is barren.
So much so that since ancient times, people here have had a strong sense of business. They go to the west entrance, go to Inner Mongolia to dig coal, and go to Guanzhong to work as "Maike"
They are willing to make any kind of money and endure any kind of hardship.
Otherwise, there would be no "Mizhi's mother-in-law, Suide's Han". This saying has been passed down to the world.
Therefore, people in Desui County dare to do small businesses everywhere, and they also dare to open some small private hotels near the train station to make money.
This kind of situation and this kind of hard work are relatively rare in the vast land of Saibei.
So wait until the train arrives at the station.
The warm greetings of these old ladies and gentlemen who come to solicit customers and stay in their small hotels.
On the contrary, it adds a bit of popularity to the silent night and makes people feel warm.
It's a pity that when they asked people to stay, they were very enthusiastic.
But when the tourists are asked to pay, their faces may not look that good! However, when it comes to raising prices on the ground, they also have to wait and see.
When encountering people who are not afraid of anything, especially the people from Saibeizhou, these locals who run small hotels, they still don't dare to kill them.
When Luo Xuan led the furniture factory employees and a group of about 20 people out of the train station square, they found that they had nowhere to go.
Long-distance bus transport services are state-run.
They don't organize buses to come over in the middle of the night to see what passengers need.
——One more trip or one less trip. For all the cadres and workers of the transportation service agency, the wages are the same.
In this case,
Which bus driver or conductor is willing to drive out in the middle of the night?
Especially the traffic conditions in Saibei are not very good, and after winter, the biting cold wind can really kill you.
so,
Even the leaders of long-distance transport service agencies cannot always force bus drivers and conductors to make two trips at night.
Go and take these passengers who have just got off the train to their destination in time.
Just because they can work as drivers and conductors in long-distance transportation service companies.
Who doesn’t have any connections or backing?
So much so that no leader is willing to do such a thankless job.
Let’s not talk about whether he can be offended or not, he is his backer.
No one can stand it even if it means "causing public anger in the work unit"
So when Luo Xuan and the others got off the bus, they found that they could not find the shuttle bus back to Zhimi County.
Then tonight, everyone will have to stay in Desui County.
After all, it's only 12 o'clock in the evening.
Everyone has to find a place to settle down.
But if you stay in those small hotels, Luo Xuan thinks the bedding and pillows there are too dirty.
But stay in a state-run guest house.
Because most of the people in my line of work are ordinary workshop workers.
Their level is not enough to accommodate a 2-person room, so most of them can only squeeze into a 3-person or 4-person room.
Even a Datong shop with more than 10 people.
If you live in a room like this, don't expect the public servants to have good-looking faces.
Don't expect their service attitude to be that good either.
If it had been in the past, everyone would have thought it was normal. After all, they were members of the public.
But now these people have experienced first-hand what service is and what it means to be as warm as spring to tourists in a small hotel in Yangcheng.
So now it is not easy for everyone to suddenly change.
"what to do?"
Li Na leaned against Luo Xuan and asked in a low voice, "Now that I can't walk and I don't have anywhere to live, what should I do?"
I heard Li Na ask this.
Luo Xuan thought for a while and said, "Come with me, I will find a place for you."
In the past, when I and Zhang Xiaoli first came to Saibei, they stayed with the little boy named Dandan after leaving the train station.
I'm staying at their house, nothing else.
The family is quite happy in Taizhou, and the two big Kangs in Dandan's house are usually kept quite clean.
Go to their home and squeeze in, no matter what, it will be more peaceful and comfortable to sleep than staying in those dark guest houses.
According to the memories left behind in the past.
Luo Xuan led a large group of people to Dandan's house in a jumbled manner.
Knock on the door.
After a while, the little boy Dandan came out wearing a cotton-padded jacket and opened the door.
"Hey, Brother Luo Xuan?"
He was obviously surprised when he saw Luo Xuan, "Why are you here?"
Luo Xuan smiled and said, "If you want to talk, you have to open the door so that we can go in and sit down to talk. How can you block the door like this and then ask questions?"
Dandan scratched her head and said, "Hey, didn't I, Dou Ran, feel so happy to see you coming over, Brother Luo Xuan?"
Wait until a group of people enter the house.
I saw that the main room outside, which served as a kitchen and a guest room, had been repainted.
Luo Xuan asked with a smile, "Why, are you ready to find Xiuzi? You actually kept the house so clean."
"No way."
Dandan blushed and said, "It's the off-season for passenger transportation now, so I'm thinking of painting the house."
Wait until the peak season, and then go out to find tourists and bring them home to stay, and they will be able to live more comfortably."
This kid!
He is quite good at planning and quite smart.
Although Dandan's house is said to be very tidy and clean.
But after all, there are only two beds in his house, so it is impossible to accommodate more than 20 people.
Fortunately, most of the people who work in their profession are acquaintances of Zhuangzi.
Many times, they not only exchange news with each other, but are always on guard against raids by "private correction teams".
Moreover, these people who run small family hotels also communicate with each other.
In other words, if Zhang San's family has a large group of tourists and cannot make arrangements, he will take some of them to Li Si's family.
Then Li Si will appropriate a small portion of the accommodation fees collected and distribute the profit to Zhang San's family.
This is a bit similar to the way private shuttle buses in later generations dumped passengers among each other.
There are too many people here tonight.
Dandan's family has an old woman and a younger sister, and the maximum capacity of their family is 13 people.
And the 9 passengers who came out from Changyu.
Dandan had no choice but to go out and ask people who were also in this field if they could take over.
Unfortunately, unfortunately, it is busy farming season now.
Residents in these cities will be organized by the sub-district offices to support agriculture.
Or they voluntarily go to the countryside to help their relatives in the village, cooking for them, taking care of their children, etc.
It also allows those relatives and members of the production team to have a bite of ready-made meals after returning home after a tiring day.
There is no need to be busy making fire to cook, rolling out noodles, etc.
So it is because of the off-season, and many people go to the countryside to support agriculture.
Therefore, many people who opened small family hotels are now closed and unable to do business.
After much shopping, Dandan only found 6 berths.
There is really no way to solve the accommodation problem for the remaining three people.
Among the furniture factory employees who came out this time, there were more women than men.
As a leader and a man, Luo Xuan had no choice but to put on a high profile.
So I first said that I would go out and think of another way, and then I would think of a way and find a place to stay.
Li Na watched Luo Xuan leave, so of course she would follow.
As a result, when he was about to go out, Hu Yin also followed him out, "Why are you looking at me like this? Don't think I'm not very smart, but I'm not really stupid. Who doesn't know that if you follow Director Luo, you can eat anything?"
Serve meat?
There's no room for you here tonight.
If I follow you, Director Luo will definitely be able to find a better place to live in the end, right?"
Li Na pouted: "Eating meat? I'll give you a stick! Haven't you eaten enough?"
It turned out that Li Na clearly saw all Hu Yin's little moves on the train.
Others had luggage, the small desk between the two rows of seats, and Hu Yin's long hair.
So Hu Yin took advantage of others to sleep and secretly talked about it, so that others could not see these things.
But they were all clearly seen by Li Na who was hiding behind Luo Xuan and dozing off.
At that time, she was still amazed: You can still play like this?
Now she saw Hu Yin following her out again, so Li Na suddenly became unhappy, "How annoying!
My brother-in-law is very capable, but as long as you show your true skills and work hard, you will naturally have a future at work in the future.
As for other crooked ways, just stop doing them!"
Hu Yin is quite shameless. When Li Na said this, Hu Yinjiao smiled and said, "I'm just working hard and working hard. As for work?
I don’t understand technology, I don’t understand foreign languages like your second sister, and I’m not as dedicated as your eldest sister Li Xue. How else can I show my value?
How can I leave a deep impression on Director Luo? Moreover, what I do can make Director Luo relax, and I think this is part of the job."
After all, Li Na is a little girl, and she can't fool a little wife like Hu Yin with her words.
Now that she was being teased like this, Li Na was speechless.
This Hu Yin actually has something in mind: one is her instinct, she has been away from home for a long time.
Who also has some necessary needs.
Another more important thing is that she has a younger brother and a younger sister at home.
Seeing that Hu Yin's brother has been idle at home for more than two years, dragging down many people, he still can't find a job.
It's really disturbing to watch.
The people in Saibei pay more attention to boys. If a boy's family cannot complete the work with him.
Then when he marries a wife in the future, he will not be able to be picky, let alone marry a good wife who is also employed.
From now on, the young couple can live a good life where life, old age, illness and death are guaranteed.
Therefore, having a good job is not only reflected in the income, but it can actually carry more and deeper things.
This was when Hu Yin took the initiative to sacrifice herself, and she had to leave a deep impression on Luo Xuan.
When she sees the right opportunity in the future, she might be able to ask Luo Xuan for help to see if she can get the root cause of a job.
After leaving Dandan's house, under the dim street lights, Luo Xuan took Li Na and Hu Yin out of Desui County.
Then we came to the side of the road and into a large yard.
In this yard, there are seven or eight large trucks parked.
There are several rooms on the side of the yard.
It was already late at night, and there were dark lights everywhere. There was no sound in those rooms, and the people inside must have already fallen asleep.
Luo Xuan took them and began to shake the iron gate of the big courtyard vigorously.
"who?!"
Suddenly, a sharp shout came from the dark corner of the yard, "What are you doing here? Hurry up and tell me the truth, or I'll shoot you!"
There was a "crash" sound.
Pulling the bolt, the sound of loading a bullet was heard.
