Anyone who has taken a long-distance bus knows this clearly, even though it is true that long-distance buses are much faster than walking or riding a slow ox cart.
However, what is quite frustrating is that long-distance buses have many stops along the way, and the routes are often winding.
But having a bicycle of your own makes a huge difference!
The road from the village to the food factory is almost a straight one, so there is no need to go in circles or take the wrong way.
Look, early this morning, Jiang Yang arrived at the factory more than ten minutes earlier than usual!
In this way, he can start preparing for work early without any rush.
"Hey, Xiao Jiang, why are you here so early today?" Director Liu greeted with a smile on his face.
"Good morning, Director Liu! Yesterday my wife accompanied me to the county to buy a bicycle, so I was able to come so early today." Jiang Yang responded happily.
"Oh my, your wife is really capable. She bought you a bicycle in such a short time. She is really a good wife who brings good luck to her husband!" Director Liu couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praise her.
"Hey, thank you Director Liu for the compliment. I have to quickly get the production line in order so I can start working as soon as everyone arrives."
Having said that, Jiang Yang started working swiftly.
"Yeah, not bad, not bad. Good job, young man. I'm really optimistic about you!"
Director Liu nodded and continued to praise, his face full of satisfaction.
In his opinion, Old Song not only has an outstanding nephew, but his nephew's wife is also a first-class virtuous and capable one!
If things continue to develop in this way, with one taking care of the outside affairs and the other the inside affairs, they will work together in perfect harmony and be so hardworking and dedicated, and they will definitely achieve great things in the future!
"Boom~"
In the following days, the factory gate became a sea of trucks, with vehicles coming to transport beer one after another.
Trucks came in one after another and roared away loaded with Qingcheng beer. This spectacular scene seemed like a never-ending relay race.
Qingcheng Beer, with its unique taste and good reputation, quickly swept the markets of several nearby counties.
Whether it is a small grocery store on the streets or a commodity store in the county town, you can see its eye-catching figure.
People couldn't get enough of this beer, and its sales kept rising. It became the talk of the town and its popularity was staggering.
Because it is a state-owned brand with a good reputation, even some commodity stores in other places have smelled the business opportunity and sent special personnel to negotiate cooperation with the manufacturer.
Faced with such strong demand, the original one beer production line was obviously unable to meet the supply, so Director Liu made a prompt decision and decided to add another production line.
When this beer production line was first put into operation, many workers were skeptical and felt that the prospects were bleak.
But now, looking at the endless orders and growing production, they can only shut up.
Especially on payday, when the accountant distributed the wages of the workers on the beer production line one by one, those workers who had once been pessimistic about the business widened their eyes in envy.
Jiang Yang was naturally very happy. After receiving his wages, food coupons and other benefits, he did not dare to delay for a moment. As soon as the bell rang, he couldn't wait to ride his bicycle home.
This bicycle has witnessed the growth of his cycling skills over this period of time. From the initial clumsiness when pedaling to the current ease and skill like riding a Hot Wheels, his cycling skills have improved by leaps and bounds.
Along the way, Jiang Yang faced the breeze and felt extremely happy. He wished he could fly to his family immediately to share this joy with them.
At the same time, Hanshan Village, a quiet and quaint village at the foot of the mountain, has quietly ushered in the annual bustling autumn harvest season.
The whole village seemed to be shrouded in a layer of golden light, and the air was filled with the fragrance of ripe rice.
At this critical moment, except for the elderly, the sick, and the disabled who were unable to participate in this grand farming activity, almost all the other villagers went out.
The four people, including the mother-in-law and daughters-in-law of the Jiang family, are an exception. They do not need to work in the fields themselves.
The men of the Jiang family were no ordinary people. The brothers Jiang An and Jiang Lai were both strong and energetic.
One person is enough to replace the labor of two or three people.
They were holding sharp sickles, their movements were skillful and neat, and every swing accurately cut off a piece of golden rice ear. They did farm work quickly and efficiently, without any dragging their feet.
Compared with them, the work efficiency of other villagers seems pale in comparison.
Especially those male educated youth and a few lazy guys in the village, they made people shake their heads helplessly.
These male educated youth were good at reading and writing on weekdays, but when faced with heavy physical labor, they seemed unable to cope.
Not only do they work slowly, but they also always procrastinate.
As for the notorious lepers in the village, they are used to being idle, so naturally they do things without any method or order and in a disorganized manner.
Among the educated youth, Zhou Jianming was a tall and strong man, and he had done farm work before.
When he was in Xiahe Village, he had participated in collective labor many times before, so he had some experience and performed slightly better than other male educated youth.
But even so, the overall harvest progress is still unsatisfactory.
When the break time came, he dragged his tired body and looked around for a place where he could take a rest.
Finally, he found a big tree with lush branches and leaves. The dense shade of the tree was like a natural umbrella, shielding people from the scorching sun.
So he walked quickly to the tree, slowly sat down with his back against the trunk, and leaned back slightly, as if all the weight of his body was released at this moment.
After sitting down, he took out a water bottle from the basket beside him, his heart full of anticipation, thinking of drinking some water quickly to relieve the unbearable thirst.
However, when he picked up the kettle and shook it, he heard an empty sound coming from inside. Only then did he realize that there was not a drop of water left in the kettle!
“Damn it!”
He couldn't help but curse under his breath, his brows tightly furrowed.
Because he clearly remembered that not long ago, there was clearly half a pot of water left in this kettle.
what is going on?
Could it be that someone secretly drank it all?
Just when he was full of doubts, a clear and sweet voice suddenly came to his ears.
"Zhou Zhiqing, are you thirsty? If you don't mind, you can drink my water. I promise I haven't touched it yet."
The person who spoke was Xia Chan, who was wearing a big bamboo hat.
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and fell on her body, reflecting on her originally fair face, which now turned red, like a ripe apple, emitting a charming glow.
