The Heilongjiang River is usually closed in mid-November or the end of November, so passenger ships can still sail there in late October and early November.
At this time, the hull of a ship sailing in the river will usually be covered with ice.
It is very dangerous for those ships to have ice stuck on their hulls. They must be cleared with tools when the ice reaches a certain level, otherwise there is a risk of the ship sinking.
Although passenger ships are large, they are also subject to this danger, so they usually stop sailing in early November.
But this seemed to have nothing to do with Wan Feng, because Zhang Xuan looked at him with tears in her eyes again.
"What are you doing now? Will you never be able to return home without me?"
"Yeah!" Zhang Xuan nodded seriously.
"Well, your sister!"
"Don't try to hit on my sister."
"I…"
Who's after your sister? Don't you see that the women around me are all older than me, and those younger than me are completely incompatible.
"Can't you go back by yourself?"
"There's a seat for you when we go back together."
Wan Feng really couldn't refute this reason.
"Let me be frank. I can send you home, but I'm definitely not going to your house this time, so your mother won't have to look at me like a son-in-law."
"Isn't this great? My mom has a very good impression of you, and my whole family has a good impression of you, especially my brother..."
I gave your brother money, so of course he had a good impression of me.
The Red Farm originally had two buses, one running to Wuxian and the other running to Heihe.
The bus running to Heihe usually runs in winter when there are no passenger ships on the river. Today, probably knowing that there are many students from the vocational high school who want to take the bus during the holidays, two buses drove out together.
There were two buses so there was no need to fight for seats. Almost everyone was seated, except for a few standing people. When the tide came and people got off, there would be seats available.
Yu Guo also took a car with Wan Feng, and Wan Feng asked about Yu Guo's wife's condition.
When he learned that his master's wife had recovered from her illness, Wan Feng offered his sincere congratulations.
When the bus arrived at Chaoshu, after Yu Guo and the students from Chaoshu got off, there were almost no standing passengers on the bus, but there were no vacant seats.
Just as the bus was about to start, several people ran out of Chaoshu Village and waved at the bus.
From a distance, you can see that one of them is wearing the bell-bottom pants that are becoming popular very fashionably.
Bell-bottoms have been popular in inland areas for some time, but they are just becoming popular here in Heilongjiang.
"Did you see the pants that man was wearing?" Wan Feng said to Zhang Xuan beside him.
"Yeah! I saw it. It's so ugly."
"When school starts, you should work on it and specialize in it. This is the product we will work on first."
"Will this thing work?"
"Haha, just do it. I can sell as many as you can make."
Bell-bottoms will be popular for a long time. Wan Feng can’t remember how long it will be, but a year should be fine.
The size of bell-bottom pants nowadays is not very exaggerated. The trouser legs of later bell-bottom pants are all 1.2 feet long, and they look like brooms when worn.
As they were talking, the five men had already run to the front of the bus.
Only when these people came closer did Wan Feng see who they were.
Liang Kai, Lao Dan, and a few others whose names Wan Feng couldn't remember.
These guys have probably been staying at home for a while and their eyes have turned blue, so they might be planning to go to the county town to relax.
After Liang Kai got on the bus, he glanced inside and found that there were no empty seats. When his eyes swept over Zhang Xuan, his eyes lit up.
The next moment, this guy actually said to Wan Feng: "You! Get up!"
Wan Feng squinted his eyes at Liang Kai and asked, "Who are you?"
Liang Kai only then spotted Wan Feng and frowned as he thought for a moment: "Aren't you the one called Feng?"
"Wan Feng!" Wan Feng solemnly announced his name.
"It's you! Give me your seat for a while."
"How well do I know you? Should I give you my seat?"
Liang Kai grinned grimly: "Believe it or not, I'll stop the bus and let you crawl out of the tide."
Wan Feng nodded: "I believe it! I really do! But do you believe me if I lie down and send you to jail? Do you think the crackdown is over? With someone like you, you'll probably be sentenced to life imprisonment. If you don't agree, we can have a showdown."
Don't you have any idea of what's wrong with you? How dare you, a bastard like you, wander around outside at this time? Not to mention the case of the Seventh Company, it hasn't been concluded yet.
You injured someone and ruined his farm. The case must be pending at the police station now. You still dare to force me. Do you really think I don't understand the law?
The muscles on Liang Kai's face twitched a few times. "Alright! Boy, if you're brave, I don't believe I can't get through this. Let's wait and see!"
Liang Kai is probably going to be disappointed this time. The crackdown in 1983 lasted for several years on and off, with periods of tightening and periods of loosening. If you want to wait for the crackdown to be completely over, it would probably be around 1987.
By then, I'd probably have returned to Beiliao. Even if I hadn't, I would have graduated. How dare you come to No. 42 to find me? I'll kill you there.
Liang Kai became much more obedient after he had finished his outburst. He sat obediently all the way to Dahekou and only found a seat after the students from the second division got off the bus.
When they arrived in the county town, Wan Feng cared even less about Liang Kai. In Chaoshu, he was still worried that these bastards would beat him up regardless of the consequences, but when he arrived in the county town, he no longer had such worries.
In the county town, if these guys dare to do this, they will be caught and put in jail directly.
"Are you really not going to my house to sit for a while?" Zhang Xuan asked Wan Feng with a smile when they were leaving the bus station.
Wan Feng shook his head like a radar: "No! Absolutely not going!"
"Hehe! Your mother-in-law is looking forward to you buying her something delicious to eat!"
Wan Feng's eyes turned black. This woman's jokes were getting more and more outrageous.
"Zhang Xuan, can we still have some shame?"
"Hehe, wait for me. I'll come out after I take the bag home. Don't leave! Please treat me to lunch at noon."
Should I treat you to a meal?
However, Wan Feng still waited obediently for Zhang Xuan to come back. There were several hours between now and the afternoon bus ride home, and it was really boring for him to wander around this small county town alone.
After sending the travel bag home, Zhang Xuan hurried back. She was relieved when she saw Wan Feng standing at the door of Xingbei Store waiting for her.
"I knew you would wait for me. You wouldn't want to let me down."
"Don't feel so good about yourself. If I hadn't found it boring to wander around the city alone, I would have left long ago."
"So where shall we go for a stroll first?"
Wan Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the market first to see if there's any clothing for sale. If we can't find any retailers after we make the pants, we'll have to sell them ourselves in the market in the early stages. Let's scout the area first."
The two walked towards the city center, chatting as they walked.
"What date are you planning to come back?"
"I plan to go back a day early because I need to buy a TV, and it's inconvenient to take the bus on the day of school."
"Then I'll go back that day too, and we'll go back together."
Wan Feng was speechless. I knew you would say that. What else could I say?
