Chapter 163 Promise
Ten minutes later, a flight attendant brought He Wen's luggage and also brought them breakfast.
There are three yellow prints with the Second Railway Bureau printed on them. The whole thing is a large round enamel rice bowl with a handle and a lid, and inside it is sauerkraut and shredded pork noodles.
The conductor said that the train would arrive at the station in about twenty minutes, and they could get off after finishing their breakfast. He also asked them to take the lunch box with them, saying that it was a souvenir for them.
Well, Chu Hong has long discovered that people nowadays are indeed more humane.
It’s true that the chef on the train is a great cook. The shredded pork is fragrant, the noodles are chewy, and the sauerkraut is crispy. It fills your stomach but still makes you want to eat more.
Even He Wen, who originally had no appetite, found her appetite better and better as she ate. She even broke into a little sweat by the time she finished eating and felt much more energetic.
He Wen warmly invited them to her home: "Chu Hong, didn't you say you wanted to get to know the way? You can also come to my house for a cup of tea."
Chu Hong declined: "I was talking to you on purpose because I was afraid you would fall asleep."
"We also have to report first. Please leave me your address and I will definitely bother you."
She also knew that He Wen was grateful to them, which was why she was so enthusiastic. She naturally appreciated it and deliberately said, "It's not easy to buy cloth in our country. I'm lucky to meet you. I will definitely not miss such a good opportunity."
He Wen also knew the importance of work, so she wrote her detailed address, her office phone number, and her home address: "You must come. I'm at the factory during working hours. Call me if you have anything."
Before, she just said it casually because she thought Chu Hong looked pleasing to the eye and had a good attitude.
Anyway, before she got into trouble, when she heard that Chu Hong wanted to follow her to the factory to get familiar with the route, she regretted offering to take her to buy the defective cloth, fearing that Chu Hong was too active and was trying to take the opportunity to stick to her.
But now, Chu Hong is her savior, and she definitely wants to repay her well.
Not to mention taking her to buy defective cloth, he also planned to take her home and treat her well.
As for thank-you gifts, she would have to ask her family how to prepare them appropriately.
In the end, he was still worried and asked for Chu Hong's home address.
Now it was Chu Hong who was unable to enjoy her enthusiasm.
After getting off the train, He Wen took them to the bus station. Her bus arrived first, but she got on the bus reluctantly and leaned out of the window and shouted to her, "Come to my house this Sunday."
Chu Hong waved her hand and forced a smile: "I know, take care of your own luggage."
I sat on the steps and waited for nearly half an hour, but the bus from the terminal to the Livestock Terminal finally arrived.
There were not many empty seats on the bus, and someone just got off. Gu Ci quickly pushed Chu Hong to sit down, and stood next to her, taking out money to buy a ticket: "Let's go to the Livestock General Station."
"Eight cents for two people." The conductor took a dime and gave him two one-cent bills in change. Finally, he skillfully tore two tickets for him.
Chu Hong looked up and said to him, "It looks like it's not very far from here."
Nowadays, the bus fare starts at two cents, and the maximum may be eight cents or ten cents.
Gu Ci nodded: "I hope we can settle down this morning."
Even though there are rarely jeeps and trucks on the road now, the bus is not going fast. Chu Hong looked out the window and looked at this strange city.
Compared with Shanghai, there are fewer Western-style houses here, but more blue brick and tile houses and red brick houses.
The most common objects are still bicycles, and most pedestrians on the streets outside are wearing clothes without obvious patches.
Moreover, most people nowadays are full of energy and you rarely see anyone with a sad face.
At each stop, people got on and off the bus until the fifth stop, which was the terminal.
In the end, there were not many people who got off the bus together. There were only five other people besides them. Three of them were like them, carrying bedding and big bags.
Fortunately, the weather is hot now, so a thin quilt will suffice, otherwise two thick quilts would be enough for him to carry.
Chu Hong was also carrying a bag and a net. She was stunned when she saw the extremely large blue brick and tile house at the foot of the mountain. "Are we really in the right place?"
The livestock station she imagined should be at the foot of a remote mountain, surrounded by bamboo fences or mud brick houses.
Now we are at the foot of the mountain, but doesn’t this place look too good?
But the plaque at the gate does say: Agricultural Research Station.
This looks so high-end and classy, doesn’t it?
This made Chu Hong wonder if she had come to the wrong place?
The old man who got off the car behind him also said cheerfully: "Comrade, you don't think that the Animal Husbandry Department is just about raising chickens and ducks, do you?"
"We have five classrooms and offices specially for your training."
"In the back are dormitories and staff quarters. In the back are several laboratories. You should stay away from them. If you damage anything inside, I won't be able to pay for it even if I sell you."
“The rear is where the breeding and planting takes place.”
He didn't want the animal husbandry station to be looked down upon, so he asked them to follow him in: "I'll take you to the office to register."
The old man was a warm-hearted man, and he kept introducing them: "Our Animal Husbandry Station delivers chicken and ducklings to the nearby cities and villages every year."
“We have been breeding several types of chickens since last year.”
"Jiujinhuang and Luhua chickens are both new and excellent breeds. They grow fast and have delicious meat. They can grow to nine kilograms in one year."
"Also, the Bailaihang chickens lay a lot of eggs, almost every day."
"Ducks are even more amazing. We can raise white ducks and put them on the market in just four months..."
Chu Hong listened to him talking nonstop and took a look at his attire. He was wearing a patched, washed-out grey Lenin suit and cloth shoes.
His half-white hair and shallow wrinkles on his face made him look about 40 or 50 years old.
Chu Hong also thought at first that he should be a staff member, or a staff member's family member.
But now listening to what he said, I feel too familiar with this place.
Chu Hong came up to him and asked sweetly, "Uncle, you know so much."
"I just want to ask you, our hometown is the Hongqi Brigade of Chang'an Commune in Jiangdong City. There are many hills and few good farmlands over there. What kind of chickens and ducks do you think are suitable for us to raise?"
Before coming here, Chu Hong thought that raising ducks was a good idea because ducks don't get sick easily, duck feathers can be used to make down jackets, the yolks of pickled duck eggs can be used to make dishes that look like crab roe, and preserved eggs are also delicious.
But when she heard him talk about how good the new breed of chicken was, she was tempted again.
So she just asked him.
It doesn’t matter if the uncle can’t give good advice, he won’t lose anything.
It would be a bonus if he could give good advice.
It also shows that this uncle is extraordinary.
"Are you from Chang'an, Jiangdong?" The uncle stopped and asked in surprise: "There are not many people coming over there. You should have more heavy and light industries over there, right?"
