Chapter 382 Soft Sleeper Room
Time is always ruthless. No matter how reluctant they are, the day has come for Wang Yuanchao and his family to leave the Red Flag Brigade and go to Yangcheng.
During this period, Wang Yuanchao sent all the things that should be sent to Yangcheng, and the things that were not sent were intended to be left for Aunt Xinghua.
After leaving the house, Wang Yuanchao and his family got on a jeep and a large truck sent by the Red Brick Factory and began to move forward slowly. Although it was the spring plowing period, no one in the Red Flag Brigade went to work today. Instead, they stood on both sides of the road in the Red Flag Brigade, waving at the cars while someone cried hysterically.
The atmosphere in the entire Red Flag Brigade seemed very heavy.
Wang Yuanchao's arrival was a ray of light for the Hongqi Brigade, illuminating the entire Brigade and helping all the people in the Brigade to get rid of poverty and become rich.
Let all the people in the Red Flag Brigade have enough food and warm clothes,
Along the road out of the village, many men, women, old and young burst into tears, their eyes red, and they were reluctant to see Wang Yuanchao go.
But everyone should not be too selfish. Wang Yuanchao wanted to return to the city, and no one could stop him.
I could only cry and shout to bid farewell to Wang Yuanchao.
In addition, many people prepared eggs, steamed buns, dumplings, roasted chicken, mountain products and other things, and threw them onto the truck. The people used their most precious food to bid farewell to Wang Yuanchao.
"Yan Chao, seeing this scene, your efforts in our Red Flag Battalion over the years are really worth it."
"Yes, mother, the Red Flag Brigade is so simple and honest. The people here remember my kindness."
Widow Du sat in the back seat of the jeep with her children, Nuannuan and Wenwen.
Zhang Yuanyuan sat on the big truck with Wuwu and two little kids. She shed tears of reluctance as she watched the Hongqi Brigade village gradually disappear into the distance.
After the group arrived at the black market train station, Wang Yuanchao used his identity card to get the tickets that Lu Guoguang had booked for Wang Yuanchao's family.
It was only after we got on the train that we realized that Lu Guoguang had booked an entire soft sleeper compartment for Wang Yuanchao's family.
There were six beds in the room. Nuan Nuan slept with her mother, while Wang Yuanchao and his mother-in-law each took care of a little girl.
The other three little men each slept in one bed, and one box was just right for the whole family.
And it was already 1970. Except for the occasional petty thief, the serious criminals had been basically wiped out. There were almost no more.
The law enforcement in this era is very strict. Criminals are not leeks that will grow back quickly after you cut them.
In this era, people like this will be targeted if caught, but no one dares to protect them, allowing them to walk on the edge of crime.
Especially in the soft sleeper compartments of the train, it is even less likely for criminals to enter.
You have to know that in this era, only cadres of a certain level could buy sleeper berths.
Let alone soft sleeper tickets, only senior officials are eligible to buy them. In this day and age, if you have money, you want to buy a sleeper ticket? That's just wishful thinking.
Moreover, Wang Yuanchao discovered that next to his section of the train was the train restaurant.
The restaurant is filled with sofas and dining tables covered with white gauze, which looks very upscale in that era and is obviously prepared for cadres.
Wang Yuanchao was very satisfied with the private room that Lu Guoguang had prepared for his family. After all, before setting off, his mother-in-law and his young wife were most afraid that their children would be beaten or taken away. Now, seeing the environment, they locked the door of the private room and the family could do whatever they wanted in the room.
Moreover, the food sent by the villagers was so much that Wang Yuanchao's family could not finish it all.
So after entering the compartment, the mother-in-law and the young daughter-in-law took out some perishable foods, such as boiled eggs, steamed buns, roast chicken, dumplings and other foods, and placed them on the table in the compartment for the children to eat as much as they wanted. As for some mountain products and game, the mother-in-law and the young daughter-in-law packed them in bags and prepared to take them to Guangzhou to eat.
People of this era could rarely travel far because of letters of introduction and food grain registration.
Ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to go to the next commune, let alone say something like "The world is so big, I want to go and see it."
Wang Yuanchao is fine. After all, in his previous life, Wang Yuanchao often traveled around the country and traveled everywhere.
But the farthest place Du Guafu and Zhang Yuanyuan had been in their lives was to follow Wang Yuanchao's father-in-law to the border to join the army. They had never been so far away. After Du Guafu and Zhang Yuanyuan sorted out the things sent by the villagers of the Red Flag Brigade, they lay in the soft sleeper and asked:
"Yuan Chao, what do you think Yangcheng is like?"
Wang Yuanchao pondered for a while and said, "Yangcheng is a big city, with a much larger population and economy than the black market.
Guangzhou has historically been an important economic, cultural and transportation center in southern China.
It has a long commercial tradition and prosperous handicraft industry. In addition, it is close to the South China Sea and has a very good outlet to the sea. Since modern times, its economy has been developing rapidly.
Guangzhou has a relatively developed industrial base and many factories. Its economy is very strong among cities in China. At the same time, it is also a commercial center in the southern region of China, with relatively active business activities, a large population, relatively complete urban functions, and Guangzhou is close to Hong Kong.
Now many important resources and industrial machines needed in the country, as well as import and export trade, are imported and exported from here.
These factors make the city of Guangzhou very prosperous.
If I must describe it, our family is like country folk moving to the city."
When the young wife heard Wang Yuanchao, she felt a little unhappy and asked with a pursed mouth:
"My Lord, is Yangcheng better than your Star City?"
Wang Yuanchao looked at his wife, sighed and said, "Hunan Province was an important battlefield in the war against Japanese invaders. During the eight-year war, seven years were fought in Hunan Province. Xingcheng was one of the main battlefields, and three battles were fought here.
At that time, the entire thousand-year-old ancient city of Xingcheng was burned to ashes by a huge fire.
The current Xingcheng was rebuilt with state funding after the liberation. If Xingcheng had not been burned down, it would still be a good thing. As a thousand-year-old ancient city, it still has a heritage comparable to that of Guangzhou.
But now, no matter it is population, economy, people's livelihood, commerce and other aspects, it cannot compare with Guangzhou.
Xingcheng can't even compare to the black market right now, let alone Yangcheng, the gap is quite large."
"Hiss~ Master, according to what you said, our trip to Yangcheng this time is still a good place, right?"
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said with a relaxed look:
"Yes, after all, Guangzhou is the political, economic, cultural, and import and export trade center in the south of the country.
It is also the base of the Southern Military Region, how can it be bad?"
"Master, I actually think as long as our family is together, we can go anywhere."
"Yes, I know. I'm not worried about other things. The only thing I'm worried about is whether you can get used to the weather there.
After all, Guangzhou is in the south, and the weather is very hot all year round. It doesn’t snow all year round, and there is no wintering. I don’t know if you can adapt to it.”
