The driver was about forty years old, wearing a Lei Feng hat and a blue work suit. He drove the bus out of the platform with a smile on his face.
The car was moving at a speed of 20 to 30 miles per hour, stopping and starting frequently, which was just convenient for the three people to tour the county town.
The No. 1 city bus runs from west to east, starting from Dachedian and ending at Fenglin County Scrap Collection Station. The stations are connected to the central axis of the entire county, and the more you go towards the center, the more prosperous it becomes.
Don't underestimate this scrap recycling station. The pay there is equivalent to that of a regular section chief, with a monthly salary ranging from 25 to 35 yuan. It's a job that everyone envies. Those ten years haven't arrived yet, so make a note of it. The scrap recycling station will be a key focus for the trio from now on.
The second bus stop was the Machinery Factory, next door to the textile and garment factories. Textile technology wasn't very advanced back then, and the main products were corduroy, denim, khaki, and woolen cloth, all sturdy and durable. In the summer, they produced rayon, plain cloth, poplin, and seersucker. The colors were also rather monotonous, with the streets dominated by blue, green, white, gray, and black.
The trio's main focus was on textile and garment factories. They could even work with defective fabrics and overstocked workwear. If they couldn't get anything out of it, they could even use food and vegetables to sneak into the factory cafeteria!
In short, if you want to do something, there's nothing your boss can't do. Okay, I'll write it down in my notebook.
There were a few young girls who got on the bus at this station. They must have been off duty and were going to the store to buy things.
The fourth stop is the meat processing plant. There are many factories nearby, including a sugar factory, a meat processing plant, a pastry factory, a pickle factory, and all the non-staple food factories are here, solving the problem of a large number of unemployed people in the city.
There was a family housing complex near the factory, so many people were getting on the bus. Guan's father stood up and gave his seat to an elderly woman.
The 6th stop was the People's Hospital. There were many passengers getting on and off the bus. Some were carrying children, some were carrying lunch boxes to deliver meals, and some were carrying fruits to visit patients. A group of people got off and another group got on.
The eighth stop was the county government. Dad Guan squeezed to the window to see the government of that era.
The entrance is very large, with the national emblem hanging in the middle and white signs hanging on both sides of the entrance.
The red characters on the left read "Fenglin County Committee of the Communist Party of China." The black characters next to it read "Fenglin County People's Government."
The sign on the right reads "CCP Fenglin County People's Armed Forces Department." The tall brick walls give the building a very solemn feel.
The county government is a three-story building with a small courtyard. The five-star red flag on the roof flutters in the wind.
They soon arrived at the department store. It was a big station with many customers getting on and off the bus. The trio was squeezed off the bus by the crowd.
It's called a department store, but it's actually just a two-story building. It's tacky, and the glass in the windows is incredibly small, about 50x50cm. The windows are arranged in a left-center-right pattern, with the glass arranged in three horizontal and four vertical rows.
The three panes of glass on the bottom floor are nailed shut and cannot be opened. The left and right panes on the top three floors can be opened for ventilation, but the three panes in the middle are also nailed shut and cannot be opened.
There is a wooden sign hanging on the door: State-owned First Department Store
Above the sign was a row of large-character posters: Serve the People
Next door is the First Non-staple Food Store. Because there is no grain or vegetables now, there are few customers in the non-staple food store.
When I entered the department store, there were quite a lot of people inside.
The first floor is mainly for daily necessities, pots and pans, cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and tea.
The second floor is for clothing, shoes, hats, and cloth counters.
