Meanwhile, Gu Yunyang also heard some bad news.
"That's the situation. There are two buses a day from the county to Baishi Commune, but we can't catch them."
Han Xue found it a little strange, and she adjusted her backpack.
Another roast duck rice dish was placed inside; that was for my own dinner.
"How could this be? Weren't there two trips? There should be one in the morning and one in the afternoon. It's only noon, how come we can't get a ride?"
Gu Yunyang shook his head: "It's one trip in the morning and one trip in the afternoon, but it goes from the county to Baishi Commune in the morning and from Baishi Commune to the county in the afternoon."
"So that's what two trips were like?"
The group of people were speechless.
But that's just how reality is; even if they're dissatisfied, there's nothing they can do about it.
The current domestic transportation capacity is only so much.
And it's quite possible that the demand isn't that high.
People these days won't go out unless they have to travel far.
There's no way to get out of here; you need a letter of introduction to come from the brigade to the county.
Without a letter of introduction, you will find it impossible to move an inch.
This is similar to the ancient travel permit; in essence, they are the same thing.
Gu Yunyang said, "But I've also heard that there are villages in the suburbs of the county. We might be able to rent an oxcart to take us there. It would probably cost between 50 cents and a dollar. The oxcart would take about two and a half hours. If we walk, without carrying any luggage, it might be a little faster."
The oxcart wasn't fast, but it had the advantage of allowing you to put your luggage on it.
They came to the countryside with a lot of luggage.
Gu Yunyang only had a crossbody bag, which was also cut open, and he haphazardly stuffed the opening with something.
Since I didn't go back to the village, it wasn't convenient for me to take out my needle and thread to mend it.
His tailoring skills were mediocre, barely usable.
Han Xue and Yang Shengnan each had a backpack and two large bags.
Sometimes Gu Yunyang would think that if this happened in later generations, a group of girls would definitely grumble and say that they couldn't move it.
Are girls stronger these days?
Han Xue and Yang Shengnan exchanged a glance and nodded: "We want to rent an oxcart."
Yang Shengnan added, "It takes two and a half hours to travel by oxcart. If we carry our luggage ourselves, we'll probably be exhausted by evening. We've never carried our luggage that far before. There are four male educated youth and two female educated youth here, six of us. That's about one cent per person, not much."
Guo Tiejun nodded in agreement: "We really can't go that far. Besides, if Min Hongping and Hao Hongyan join us, we'll have eight people, and we might not even need a penny if it's less than a dollar."
Gu Yunyang was also quite emotional. In the next century, even a child who loves candy wouldn't bother to pick up a penny if it were lying on the ground.
Because one cent might not even buy a single piece of candy.
But at that time, a dime was almost the price of a pound of rice.
The others shared the same thought; they understood that Gu Yunyang had bought train tickets for everyone beforehand.
After the incident involving Min Hongping and Hao Hongyan, Gu Yunyang was worried that they might have objections later.
Let's discuss how to do it together.
If they don't want it, they'll probably just rent an oxcart and go by themselves.
They had no doubt that Gu Yunyang was capable of doing such a thing.
But you can't blame them.
Strictly speaking, Gu Yunyang is not wrong in this matter.
From the city to the county, it's such a long bus ride, who wants to stand?
I wouldn't even stand all the way here for three cents less.
But their little schemes couldn't fool anyone.
They simply wanted Gu Yunyang to take out the money and return it to them.
But they wouldn't let people leave their seats.
This guy is too cunning; he expects people to even acknowledge him.
