Reborn as a New Farmer of the 1980s

Reborn during the early days of China’s reform and opening, the narrator finds himself in the 1980s countryside. In this setting, the past is still a cold reference, yet it is also a fresh start....

Chapter 1329: Driving the Car Home (Fifth Update Completed)

The last two locomotives arrived at Heihe on July 2, 1988.

After the locomotive landed, the Heihe Municipal Government paid Wan Feng for the locomotive.

Wan Feng once again began to arrange the operation of the base after he left.

He couldn't remember how many times this had happened.

The people in the base seemed numb, as if Wan Feng’s departure was no longer a big deal.

This made Wan Feng feel like he was a piece of meat outside an egg.

Everything at the base remained the same as usual, with Zhang Zhiyuan in charge, Yang Jianguo and Han Meng...

There was a change. Han Meng went to Wuxian to check on the cargo station, so there was one less person here.

Fortunately, those guys with fire attributes are now able to take on the main responsibility.

Wan Feng forgot to consider the future affiliation of these guys.

Wan Feng would arrange a way out for everyone who followed him, and give them something to do when he returned, so that they would have a source of income when he left.

Zhao Gang and Li Ming are fighting He Xiao in Xiaoyanshan. There is no problem with Yang Jianguo taking Li Yong home. No problem will happen with Zhang Shiqian outside.

OK.

But a problem arose.

This time Wan Feng went back to drive the Volga back.

If we don't drive back now, it will be difficult to drive the car back when we evacuate in winter. If something breaks down on the road in the freezing weather, we will be in big trouble.

But if we drive back now, it is obvious that one car cannot accommodate so many people.

There were five of them starting from Heihe, which was barely enough, but when they arrived in Fuyuan and Zhan Honggui was added, the space became very narrow.

Unless Wang Zhonghai and the others are allowed to take the train.

If one car doesn't work, get another.

Wan Feng simply got another Volga from the Soviet Union and applied for a temporary license plate.

There's nothing you can do, you can do whatever you want if you have money.

Anyway, the cars can't be thrown away after being brought back. One can be dismantled by the factory for technical reserves and the other can be left for Luan Daxie to drive for fun, which means they are put to good use.

After getting this car, Wan Feng discovered that another problem had arisen: what to do if it burns fuel on the road?

There were no gas stations everywhere in 1988. If you didn't bring your own gas and ran out of gas on the road, you would have to buy it from the local oil company.

At that time, oil companies did not have oil every day, and even premium oil could not be guaranteed to be available every day.

In his previous life, Wan Feng was driving a tractor and an old Jiefang truck for others during this period, but he knew what was going on with the oil company at that time.

This is still the case in the city. If there is no oil in the countryside, you won’t even have the chance to buy premium oil.

Therefore, if you want to avoid being bullied by oil on the road, you have to bring enough oil with you.

But you can’t carry a gas tank in your car, right?

Wan Feng simply got another truck from the Soviet Union, bought a barrel of gasoline and a barrel of diesel in Heihe, and loaded them onto the truck.

In general, this is a waste of time and effort. It would be better to just buy a truck instead of a car.

To do this stupid thing, you need to hire a driver.

Zhang Shiqian spent 200 yuan to hire two drivers, one driving a truck and the other driving a car.

Now everything is ready to go.

Of course, Wan Feng was driving the car that Han Guang's family was driving, and Qin Suzhen was also in his car.

Wang Zhonghai and Yang Pao were sitting in another Volga.

July 9, 1988, the weather is sunny!

At seven o'clock in the morning, a convoy consisting of three cars, two small and one large, set off from Heihe.

Wan Feng bought a one-meter-sized Northeast Highway map and sat in the passenger seat pretending to be a navigator.

After starting from Heihe, when we reached Aihui, we turned into the road leading to Xiao Wu's house.

Wan Feng wants to see if Zhang Juan is on vacation, and if so, whether she wants to visit her sister.

Zhang Juan's garment factory is no longer in its original location, as the original building can no longer meet the needs of expanded production.

The current garment factory moved into the classrooms of the former vocational high school.

The newly built campus of the vocational high school is much more formal than when Wan Feng was there, so the original school building became idle and was rented out by Zhang Juan.

The number of employees at the Tornado Garment Factory has now expanded to 200. Together with the clothing branch of the third factory, Zhang Juan is now a big boss with 600 employees under her.

This scale is not much smaller than Wanfeng's Fengfeng Garment Factory.

Luan Feng's factory now has only about 1,200 to 1,300 employees.

The clothes produced by the garment factory are still supplied to three nearby cities: Wuxian, Sunke and Heihe.

The main focus is still Heihe, because there are two county towns, Huma and Tahe, near Heihe.

In addition to flowing to Huma and Tahe, some of the clothes that arrived in Heihe also flowed to the Soviet Union.

The garment factory's annual profit is around 700,000 to 800,000 yuan.

Zhang Juan, who has been doing this for more than a year, is now a woman worth millions.

It's not necessarily a good thing for a young woman to have so much money. Wan Feng thinks she should have a bodyguard.

"Brother-in-law, stop kidding. Is it reasonable for me to have a bodyguard? Isn't your mentality a bit too dark?"

The little girl was a little naive. She thought the world was only full of sunshine and no rain.

"Guang family! Did you have any female team members back then?"

Wan Feng plans to assign a bodyguard to Zhang Juan if there is a female investigator with good skills.

It is always worrying to see a young, single woman outside.

And this woman is rich and beautiful.

Han Guangjia shook his head.

"Does anyone know anyone?"

Han Guangjia shook his head.

"Is there no female investigator in your army?"

“Yes, but I don’t know him.”

Well, it’s useless to ask.

Let’s ask Zhu Guoxiong about this. They might know where there are retired female investigators.

"Juan'er, do you have any idea of ​​going to Beiliao to develop your career? If you go there during your vacation, come with me to visit your sister."

Zhang Juan thought for a moment and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. We just finished our exams. I'll think about it after I graduate."

Zhang Juan had no intention of going to Bei Liao for the time being, and Wan Feng didn't force her. It would be troublesome if she couldn't control her mouth and called him brother-in-law in front of Luan Feng.

Since Zhang Juan was not going to Wanfeng, she did not stay at Xiao Wu's house. After a quick trip to Li You's house, she set off on her journey.

There is no need for a map for the distance from Heihe to Longzhen. There is a driver who knows the way from Longzhen to Harbin, but he is also confused once he enters Harbin.

This is when the map comes in handy.

On the first day, the team traveled a thousand kilometers in ten hours because they were familiar with the road.

But the next day the number was shortened to 800 miles.

Because they were not in a hurry and for safety reasons, they only drove during the day and found a hotel to rest at night.

At noon on the third day, the convoy entered the territory of Bei Liao, which was still more than 900 miles away from Hongya.

After a night's rest in Shenyang, the convoy set off again, taking nine hours to cover the last 600 miles.
