Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Fame

Ye Yu and three other people took a bus to the county seat, holding three letters of introduction from the production team, Pingquan Commune, and Pingquan Town Trade Union.

As for the team leader and Aunt Bai Yun, they had already returned to Wangjiagou. It was now the spring ploughing season and no one was allowed to leave the fields, especially for cadres like them who were down-to-earth. It was not easy to ask for a day's leave, so the rest could only be left to a few educated youth.

Han Jing patted his chest and assured that they would do their best to handle this matter.

The bumpy ride took about an hour and a half. Fortunately, there were not many people on the bus at that time. Including the driver, there were less than 10 people on the bus. No one was carsick, and the windows could be opened, so the ride was not 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 railway station here, but they just passed by it in a flash.

However, there is not much to see in the county town.

Judging from the outside, the county town is like a larger Qingquan Town. The houses are still mostly bungalows, and the residents are often covered in rags. 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 for the agricultural and sideline products station first.

The staff of the Agricultural and Sub-district Office were surprised to hear that educated youth had come to their home, but when they saw the letter of introduction and heard that they were from Wangjiagou, their attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.

"Comrades, please sit down and wait for a while." The clerk went to invite an officer to come out and 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 they were 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 published.

But his reputation has spread far and wide.

It may also be related to the lack of entertainment in that era. Many people get their information from radios and newspapers. When a news station on the radio was talking about educated youth going to the countryside, it mentioned Xu Fei briefly, and there is no need to say more about newspapers.

What’s even funnier is that because the story of Wangjiagou is quite consistent, some people treat it as a TV series and follow it. They already know that there were several educated youth in Wangjiagou, that there were tractors in Wangjiagou, and that a brick kiln and Hope Primary School were built in Wangjiagou.

If Wangjiagou’s location wasn’t 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 chest pocket; Hua Feifei loves to laugh the most, 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 simply called "Big Sister".

Actually, Xu Fei and Hua Feifei wanted to write "big brother", but this did not seem to conform to the current national conditions, and they were afraid of being caught and complained about, so they added the word "sister", and because Ye Yu was the youngest among them, they put it in quotation marks.

Elm leaves:

“…”

The staff and director of the Agricultural and Sub-district Office felt that the portrayals of Han Jing, Xu Fei, and Hua Feifei were so vivid that they could recognize them at first sight. However, they were very surprised to see Ye Yu.

Many people imagine that the "big sister" in this story is a simple working-class person like the March 8th Bannermen. Because of her great strength and big appetite, she even looks a bit burly and strong.

But Ye Yu's appearance is too iconic. Even the daughters of wealthy families in the old society were probably not so beautiful. She is tall and slender, and is the focus of the crowd wherever she goes. This has nothing to do with being a simple and honest old lady.

Han Jing and the other three were very outgoing and explained with a smile 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 Subsidiary 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.

"Very good!"

But there is a problem. The agricultural and sideline stations on both sides do not have any special contacts. It is impossible to drive back and forth just for Wangjiagou to transport fruit seedlings. However, there is a blower factory in the county town that has contacts with Shangdu City. They can go and inquire.

If we can take advantage of this opportunity, it is not impossible to catch up with this year's spring ploughing.

The four 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 talking, his eyes were glancing at Ye Yu and Hua Feifei.

Sure enough, in every era and every place, there will always be stupid and bad scum.

Ye Yu broke his outstretched arm without saying a word, and 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 others 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 hurry?" Ye Yu shook his head at the young people with zero social experience and said, "Whoever reaches out first is wrong. It's not our fault, so why should we withdraw?"

He also imitated Han Jing's tone and said: "Besides, this is a state-owned factory. It belongs to the country and not to a certain person or a certain family group. It is enough to expose the chaos. Why should a factory be excluded from the people? We should trust the factory, the country, and the people."

These words are heart-wrenching, not only do they touch upon Han Jing and the others' psychology, but they also make one 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 manager and could help notify and recommend him.

The reason why this person jumped out was that, firstly, he recognized that Ye Yu and four others were 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 fails, he will just be transferred. Nowadays, the factory director cannot destroy someone's iron rice bowl without reason. But if he succeeds, it also means that he can take this opportunity to climb up to the deputy factory director, and maybe 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 friends arrived at the deputy director's office.

The deputy factory director had obviously heard of Wang Jiagou's reputation. Not only did he make tea to entertain them, he also praised them in various ways and severely reprimanded the security captain for his behavior.

Hearing Xu Fei, Han Jing and Hua Feifei grinning from ear to ear, Ye Yu was surprised that Xu Fei had been implicated. He unknowingly promised to record the security captain's evil deeds. It can only be said that the deputy factory director is really a seasoned official.

But they didn't lose anything.

However, Ye Yu will most likely suggest to them not to praise the deputy factory director too much when he returns.

It's not that she thinks the deputy 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 be ridiculed.

In short, the deputy factory manager readily agreed to help them. There would be a truck from their factory heading to Shangdu City in two days, and they could take a ride on this round trip.

But there was still a problem. This truck had three seats in total, including the driver, and a mechanic, which meant there was 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, so only Han Jing and Ye Yu went. When he said this, he looked at his other companions.

Key point: Elm leaves.

Ye Yu did not object. It was a good opportunity to travel and expand the map.

Han Jing raised his hand high:

"I'll take the carriage!"

Ye Yu dislikes:

"You go sit in the front."

There was airflow in the truck compartment, but the space in the front was small, and being too close to strangers made her uncomfortable.

Korean Scene:

"Then let's all sit in the back!"

The deputy factory manager 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 the carriage is too long, your whole body can be shaken to pieces.

But that had nothing to do with him.

He didn't care about that. He was 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 their background and working hours.

In fact, he has a better reputation, and the current factory director has a worse reputation. It will eventually be his turn to take over.

At this time, the factory director finally came back late.

He was not a fool, and he understood the deputy director's intention immediately. However, he was not as smooth as the deputy director. When he spoke to people, he used an official tone that sounded superior, which made people feel uncomfortable, even if he wanted these educated youth to "not make a big fuss."

"We are not making a big fuss, we are just talking about the facts!"

Xu Fei, Han Jing, and Hua Feifei are not the only ones who are rebellious enough. Add to that the deputy factory director who fanned the flames, and this incident, or this chaos, is doomed to be reported in the newspapers.

After the four people left, the factory director severely criticized his nephew, 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 couldn't do anything to his nephew for the time being.

By this time, it was already late.

The last bus was gone, 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 winding alleys, 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.

Mainly because they are located in residential areas, it is easy for them to gather and escape. They scatter in a hurry. In addition, there are eighteen directions of the house, so we don’t know where to catch them if we want to.

Moreover, this location sounds very familiar. It is the place where Wang Lai Di’s elder sister Wang Ju Di also married.

Wang Lai Di and Wang Zhu Di had the best relationship. It was Wang Zhu 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 pay a visit for the sake of her parents. It had nothing to do with the black market or anything.
