Xu Nanxing also knew that many people had never left the village in their entire lives, or even for generations. At most, they would go to the town during the market, and of course, they mainly went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some New Year's goods for the New Year. The number of people who had actually been to other places would not exceed one hand.
If there is no reason to travel far away, most people will stay in their hometown all their lives.
In fact, Zhang Luyao also travels on business trips to other places every now and then. If employees are curious about what other places are like, they can ask Zhang Luyao.
However, as the head of a factory, Zhang Luyao rarely chats with employees and has a serious expression most of the time.
Moreover, the employees more or less knew that their factory director came from a powerful family background, and they also knew that Director Zhang also held the title of director in the supply and marketing cooperative.
No matter when or where, officials are still easy to be respected, especially by this group of rural people who have never seen the world and were born and raised in the countryside.
So even though everyone in the factory was curious about what the outside world was like, no one dared to ask Director Zhang.
But this still has its advantages. No one will dare to challenge Zhang Luyao's position as the factory director!
But Xu Nanxing is different!
Because Xu Nanxing is also a temporary worker!
Moreover, Xu Nanxing often chats and jokes with them, which makes him feel closer to them.
So this time, when everyone heard that Xu Nanxing was going on a business trip and had been gone for such a long time, they were very envious and came to ask her what life was like in other places.
Fortunately, Xu Nanxing had been to the county and the city, and immediately told them about what he had seen and heard on his way to Chen City!
As for what Xu Nanxing was doing on his business trip, they tactfully did not ask.
In this day and age, many people are too cautious to get to the bottom of things.
What's more, Xu Nanxing was on business trip on behalf of the factory. If anyone asked about it, wouldn't he be suspected of stealing information from a state-owned unit?
After all, their small factory is a formal state-owned factory affiliated with the supply and marketing cooperative.
There are no stupid people among those who can be recruited by Zhang Luyao. After experiencing so many years of baptism, they will not be stupid enough to come and inquire about the above matters!
It’s better not to ask about this kind of things!
Xu Nanxing also told them about what he saw and heard on the road.
Another woman suddenly asked, "Director Xu, I'd like to ask you, if we can just take the bus from town to the county, what bus should we take from the county to the city?"
How do I get to the city by bus?
This question made Xu Nanxing stunned. Then he looked around and saw that almost everyone seemed to be interested in this question. It seemed that many people had never been to the city!
Those who have never traveled far are indeed very interested in these things.
Xu Nanxing replied seriously, "To go to the city, you don't have to take the bus. You have to take a long-distance bus! You just need to ask where the long-distance bus station is. When you get there, just ask which bus to take to the city!"
Then he added: "If you want to go to other provinces, the most convenient and cheapest way is to take the train. And taking the train is also safer, much safer than taking a long-distance bus!"
"The last time Director Zhang and I went to Beijing for an appearance, we chose to take the train. After the train arrived in Beijing, we first found a guesthouse to stay in. If you have any questions, you can ask the guesthouse staff. They are public officials and have the responsibility to answer guests' questions! For other matters, you can also go to places like the neighborhood committee, street office, or police station."
Xu Nanxing carefully taught them some basic things about going out.
In fact, even in this modern age of advanced Internet information, many people still don't understand seemingly simple things like going out to do things.
Not to mention the elderly who have been left behind by the times, in fact, many young people are also unable to keep up.
Take Xu Nanxing for example, one time when she went out and wanted to take the subway, but she couldn’t scan the bus QR code using Alipay.
She had clearly used this QR code to take a bus before.
Although she only took public transportation occasionally, she was still very confused when she suddenly couldn't get through.
Later, Xu Nanxing checked online and found out that the local subway has a special APP, and only by scanning the QR code on this APP can one scan and pass.
She also found the online registration procedures at hospitals very cumbersome.
So now Xu Nanxing answered their curious questions very patiently.
Of course, she also knew that they were just curious, and most people didn't dare to travel far away easily.
After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed to go back to work. Although they still wanted to continue asking questions, they didn't dare to slack off in their work.
Xu Nanxing didn't stay in the factory for long before he secretly slipped to the back mountain to visit his grandfather.
She had been away for so long that she forgot to tell her grandparents and uncles. She didn't know if they were worried. Xu Nanxing had to go and tell them she was safe as soon as possible!
When we arrived at the cowshed, most people had been assigned to work, leaving only Uncle Liu and my grandfather busy in the cowshed!
Xu Nanxing greeted the two elderly people: "Good morning! Uncle Liu! Grandpa! How are you doing recently?"
Xu Nanxing often secretly ran to visit his grandparents and uncle's family, and had long escaped the eyes of Uncle Liu. He knew more or less about the family's situation.
Uncle Liu was also very tight-lipped and never told anyone about what happened in the cowshed. He also took special care of his grandfather who was in poor health, so Xu Nanxing didn't need to avoid Uncle Liu when calling him grandpa.
Uncle Liu was still in good health. When he saw that it was Xu Nanxing, he smiled happily and said, "You little girl! Why haven't you come to see me recently?"
The grandfather standing by was also very happy to see his granddaughter. He looked at the child carefully and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the child was healthy and nothing was wrong with her.
He must have heard that Xu Nanxing was sent on a business trip recently!
Now that I see Xu Nanxing back safe and sound, I can finally put my mind at ease!
Xu Nanxing also replied happily: "Oh, I was recently sent on a business trip! I was not in the village during this period. I went out of town, so I didn't come to see you! Look, I just came back not long ago and came to see you!"
After chatting with Uncle Liu for a few words, Xu Nanxing followed his grandfather home.
This time, Xu Nanxing brought a pair of cotton-padded jackets and trousers that had been altered a long time ago.
These were prepared by Xu Nanxing long ago. The cotton inside was new, while the cloth covering the outside was made from old clothes and sheets obtained from the Ye family.
At first glance, it looks like an old cotton-padded jacket that has been used for many years!
