Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Fame
Ye Yu and his three companions took a bus to the county town, holding three letters of introduction from the production team, Pingquan Commune, and Pingquan Town Trade Union.
As for the team leader and Aunt Baiyun, they have already returned to Wangjiagou. It is now the spring plowing season, and people need to be on the fields, especially for cadres like them who do practical work. It is not easy to take a day off, and the rest can only be left to a few educated youth.
Han Jing patted his chest and promised that they would do their best to get the job done.
The bumpy ride lasted about an hour and a half. Fortunately, there weren't many people on the bus at that time. Including the driver, there were less than 10 people on the bus. No one got carsick, and the windows could be opened, so the ride wasn't too unbearable.
After working in the countryside for so long, this was the first time for Ye Yu and Han Jing to come to the county town. Xu Fei and Hua Feifei had passed by the train station here, but they only passed by briefly.
However, there is nothing much to see in the county town.
Judging from the outside, the county town looks like a larger Qingquan Town. The houses are still mainly bungalows, and the residents have many patches on their clothes. Compared with the countryside, they don't have to work in the fields, so they are generally cleaner.
After getting off the bus and asking for directions, Ye Yu and his friends headed to the agricultural and sideline products station first.
The staff of the agricultural and sideline products station was surprised to hear that educated youth had come to their house. But when he saw the letter of introduction and heard that they were from Wangjiagou, his attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.
"Comrades, please sit down and wait for a moment." The clerk went to invite a cadre out to entertain them.
It’s because the webmaster is not here now. If he were here, he might come out in person.
The first thing the cadre said when they met was that he was familiar with the educated youth from Wangjiagou, the one with the tractor, and that Xu Fei's article after the New Year was only recently reported.
But it has become famous.
It may also be related to the lack of entertainment in this era. Many people get their information from radios and newspapers. A radio news station mentioned Xu Fei briefly when talking about educated youth going to the countryside, and the newspapers didn't mention him even more.
What's even funnier is that because the story of Wangjiagou is quite coherent, some people follow it as a TV series. They already know that there are several educated youth in Wangjiagou, that there are tractors in Wangjiagou, and that there are brick kilns and Hope Primary Schools in Wangjiagou.
If Wangjiagou were not so remote, the brick kiln orders might have increased dozens of times. After all, this is free advertising, no, paid advertising.
They can also distinguish the four educated youth from Wangjiagou.
Han Jing is the tallest, lively, optimistic and positive; Xu Fei is the one wearing glasses, a literary youth, always with two pens hanging in his breast pocket; Hua Feifei loves to laugh, is cheerful and enthusiastic, and treats people kindly;
Ye Yu knows everything and is the teacher of the other three educated youth in many aspects of life and study. She is called "Big Sister" for short.
In fact, Xu Fei and Hua Feifei wanted to write "big brother", but this did not seem to conform to the current national conditions. They were afraid of being caught and complained about, so they added the word "sister". Because Ye Yu was the youngest among them, they put quotation marks around it.
Ye Yu:
“…”
The staff and director of the agricultural and sideline product station felt that the descriptions of Han Jing, Xu Fei, and Hua Feifei were so vivid that they recognized them at first sight. However, they were very surprised to see Ye Yu.
Many people imagine that "Big Sister" is a simple working class person like the March 8th Banner Bearer. Because of her great strength and big appetite, she is even a bit burly and strong.
But Ye Yu's appearance is too iconic. Even the rich girls in the old society were probably not as beautiful as her. She is tall and slender, and she is the focus of the crowd wherever she goes. This has nothing to do with being a simple old sister.
Han Jing and the other two were very familiar with each other. They smiled and explained that "Ye Yu, you can't judge a person by his appearance."
After a few interactions, the two sides became familiar with each other.
The people at the agricultural and sideline product station actively provided the addresses of many orchards. The nearest one does not require going far south. There are apple, pear, and peach orchards in the plain area of Shangdu City in the neighboring southern Hebei Province. As for other varieties, I don’t know much about them.
"Very good!"
But there is a problem that the agricultural and sideline stations on both sides do not have any special connections, and it is impossible to drive back and forth just to transport fruit seedlings for Wangjiagou. However, there is a blower factory in the county town that has dealings with Shangdu City, and they can go and inquire about it.
If we can catch a ride, it is not impossible to catch up with this year's spring plowing.
The four of them then moved to the blower factory.
But this time they hit a wall right from the start. The security captain at the factory gate was very arrogant and almost didn't get in at the blower factory. Not only that, but when he was speaking, his eyes were glancing at Ye Yu and Hua Feifei.
As expected, there will always be stupid and bad scum in every era and place.
Ye Yu bent his outstretched arm without saying a word, and he let out a loud scream.
Other security guards:
“!!!”
The matter became a big deal. They also knew that the security captain had a complicated background. He was the nephew of their deputy factory director. He always looked down on people and his words and actions had harassed the female workers in the factory more than once or twice.
Han Jing and Hua Feifei were filled with indignation on the spot. They said they would not come to such a factory anymore and would go to other factories in the county to have a look.
"Tsk, what's the rush?" Ye Yu shook his head at the young men with zero social experience, and said, "Whoever reached out first is wrong. It's not our fault, so why should we back out?"
He even imitated Han Jing's tone and said, "Besides, this is a state-owned factory. It belongs to the country, not to any individual or a group of relatives. Exposing the chaos is enough. Why exclude the factory from the people? We must trust the factory, trust the country, and trust the people."
This is a heart-wrenching statement, as it touches upon the psychology of Han Jing and the others, and also makes people think deeply.
Ye Yu asked again who the deputy factory director was. There must be a leader in the factory who doesn't get along with the factory director, right?
After a while, a young security guard said that he knew the deputy factory director and could help notify and recommend him.
The reason why this person jumped out was that, firstly, he recognized Ye Yu and the other four as being from Wangjiagou, and that they were the educated youth who had caused chaos in state-owned stores across the country; secondly, he knew about the conflict between the deputy director and the factory director, and wanted to curry favor with the deputy director.
Even if he failed, he would just be transferred. These days, the factory director could not destroy someone's iron rice bowl without reason. But if he succeeded, it also meant that he could take this opportunity to become the deputy factory director, and he might have a different future.
Nowadays, there are bad and stupid people, but there are also many smart people. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
With the help of this clever young security guard, Ye Yu and his team arrived at the deputy factory director's office.
The deputy factory director had obviously heard of Wangjiagou's reputation. He not only made tea for them, but also praised them with all kinds of nice words and severely reprimanded the security captain for his behavior.
Hearing Xu Fei, Han Jing, Hua Feifei and the others smiling happily, Ye Yu was surprised that Xu Fei had also fallen for him. He unknowingly promised to record the evil deeds of the security captain. It can only be said that the deputy factory director is indeed a seasoned official.
But there is no loss for them.
However, when Ye Yu returns, he will most likely advise them not to praise the deputy factory director too much.
It’s not that she thinks the deputy factory director is not a good person, but she doesn’t care what kind of person he is, or whether he will fail in the future. If he fails, Xu Fei and other writers will also be ridiculed.
In short, the deputy factory director readily agreed to help them. There would be a truck heading to Shangdu City from their factory in two days, and they could take a ride there.
But there is still a problem. This truck has three seats including the driver and a mechanic, which means there is only one seat left.
Xu Fei said that there were only two of them. He and Hua Feifei had classes at the village primary school and could not go. Only Han Jing and Ye Yu went. When he said this, he looked at his other companions.
Key leaf elm.
Ye Yu did not object. It was good to have an opportunity like this to travel and spread the map.
Han Jing raised his hand high:
"I'll take the carriage!"
Ye Yu dislikes:
"You go sit in the front."
The truck cabin was windy, but the space in the front was small, and being too close to strangers made her uncomfortable.
Han Jing:
"Then we'll all sit in the back!"
The deputy factory director didn't quite understand why they refused to sit down when they had seats and were willing to endure the hardship. You have to know that the roads are bumpy nowadays and in some places you can fly out if you are not careful. If you sit in the car for too long, your whole body will be shaken apart.
But it has nothing to do with him.
He didn't care about this. He was very happy that these people were able to defeat the factory director. When he competed with them for the position of factory director, he lost because of his background and length of work experience.
In fact, he has a better reputation, and the factory director has a worse reputation now. It will eventually be his turn to take over.
At this time, the factory director finally arrived.
He was not a fool and immediately understood the deputy director's intention, but he did not have the deputy director's smoothness. When he spoke to people, he used a condescending official tone that made people feel uncomfortable, even if he wanted these educated youth to "stop making a big fuss."
"We didn't make a big deal out of it; we just dealt with the facts!"
Xu Fei, Han Jing, and Hua Feifei are not as rebellious as the others, and with the deputy factory director fanning the flames, this matter, or this chaos, is bound to be reported in the newspapers.
After the four people left, the factory director criticized his nephew severely, but his nephew kept talking back to him. The reason was that the factory director was able to hold on to his position because of his connections, and he really had no way to deal with his nephew for the time being.
By this time, it was already late.
The last bus was missed, and the four of them were mentally prepared, so they went to the guesthouse.
The guesthouse is located on the southeast side of the county town. It is a conspicuous small three-story building. Behind the guesthouse is a residential area with bungalows. The alleys are connected by small alleys, and it is winding and it is easy for strangers who have just arrived to get lost.
Ye Yu looked at the alleys and lanes thoughtfully. This place is really suitable for a black market environment.
They are mainly located in residential areas, which makes it easy for them to gather and escape. Once they scatter, there are eighteen directions of the houses, so it is difficult to catch them.
Moreover, this location sounds very familiar. It is the place where Wang Lai Di’s elder sister Wang Yi Di also married.
Wang Lai Di and Wang Zhi Di had the best relationship. It was Wang Zhi Di who introduced Wang Lai Di and Ye Hongjun to each other. During the Chinese New Year at home, Wang Lai Di mentioned this sister many times.
Since she had finally come to the county town, Ye Yu decided to visit her for the sake of her parents. It had nothing to do with the black market or anything like that.
