There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, after breakfast, Jiang Xiaobai set off with Wang Xiaojun and Liu Aiguo.
If you want to go to the county seat, you have to go to Shangma Township before you can make a car, and the Jianhua Brigade is 30 miles away from Shangma Commune, which is not the farthest village in Shangma Commune.
Jiang Xiaobai and the three of them set off at 8 o'clock in the morning, and waited until more than 10 o'clock before the three of them came to Shangma Commune and walked for 2 hours.
There are many people in the town, and the people who sit on the ox carts and shout are full of arrogance, which is more energetic than the people who drive in later generations.
The green-painted supply and marketing cooperatives are the only new houses in the township, and they are also the most lively places, with many people coming and going.
At this time, people who want to work in supply and marketing cooperatives are squeezing their heads, and who would have thought that they would disappear without a trace in the following short decades.
Jiang Xiaobai and the three of them saw that there were still many people under the sign of the car stop in the township, and they breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down their pace and walked over.
At this time, the bus from the township to the county runs once in the morning and once in the afternoon. And when the bus at this time came, there was no punctuality at all. If you miss it, you'll have to wait for the afternoon.
After waiting for a while, the old bus came swaying with black smoke, and as soon as the door opened, everyone squeezed towards the car, all carrying large bags and small bags, and going to the county seat was no less than going out of the far door in later generations.
As for Jiang Xiaobai and the three of them empty-handed, the ticketing aunt also deliberately glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and the three of them.
I grabbed a seat and sat down, and it didn't take long for the bus to wakily set off.
A smell of gasoline went straight into the carriage, but except for Jiang Xiaobai, the others were not the same, and even many people liked to smell the smell of gasoline.
"2 cents for a person, hurry up and buy a ticket." The ticket seller has started selling tickets.
At this time, people earn less, but the price is also cheaper.
The bus drove on the potholed road, as if the car could fall apart at any moment, and the people in the car were like riding a roller coaster.
"Auntie, we are educated youths who went to the countryside to join the queue, and we have never been to the county seat, so you can introduce us to us." Jiang Xiaobai looked next to the ticketing aunt who had finished selling tickets, leaned over and asked with a smile.
"A few of you are in the know, I said, you guys got into the car empty-handed." The aunt had a look of sudden realization, and she was idle anyway, so she chatted with Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai made a look of listening carefully, interjecting from time to time to ask for some things he needed, after inquiring with his aunt, there is really a glass factory in the county, but it is on the outskirts of the county, about 5 miles away from the county, but it is not too far.
After wandering for 2 hours, at 12 noon, the bus finally drove into the county.
The road conditions are finally better, Jiang Xiaobai turned his head to look at the scenery outside the car window, there are many people coming and going, and Jiang Xiaobai even saw a few bicycles.
The guy riding a two-eight-bar Phoenix brand bicycle, his eyes were about to fly into the sky, and his appearance made the others around him full of envy.
At this time, if you say that there are more than 100 yuan in the county that can buy a bicycle, there are not many people, but there are definitely them. But there aren't many people who can get a bicycle ticket.
Jiang Xiaobai and the three of them are not locals, except for the day they came to cut the queue once, this is the second time. After getting out of the car, Jiang Xiaobai didn't rush to the county glass factory, and took out the corn flour tortillas he brought when he came out in the morning.
Not to mention the money on Jiang Xiaobai's body, he still needs to buy sugar and glass bottles, and he can't move it for the time being, even if he can spend it, there is no place to ask for your money at this time.
If you have acquaintances, it's okay, at this time there are already privately opened restaurants, but there are no signs, and you can't find them at all without acquaintances to lead the way.
The three of them took a sip and rested on the side of the road for a while, and then they inquired and walked towards the county glass factory, and before they arrived at the county glass factory, they saw the billowing black smoke coming out of a high chimney, Jiang Xiaobai knew that he must not have found the wrong place now.
To say that firing glass is not a sophisticated technology, the main thing about firing glass is that it is polluting, of course, there is no environmental protection at this time.
When he came to the gate of the factory, the uncle who didn't wait for Jiang Xiaobai and the three of them to enter the gatehouse came out, looked at Jiang Xiaobai and asked, "What are you comrades doing?" What's the matter? "
"Uncle, your surname? We came from Shangma Commune and from the Jianhua Brigade. Jiang Xiaobai said and took out the big front door that he had specially bought in his pocket and handed it to the uncle.
"What is your surname or not, my surname is Wang, just call me the head of the old king, you have heard of it when you come to the Ma Commune, come in and say, the weather is very hot." The uncle took the cigarette handed over by Jiang Xiaobai and said to get out of the way.
Jiang Xiaobai took Wang Xiaojun and Liu Aiguo into the gatehouse, Jiang Xiaobai casually put the cigarette in his hand on the table in the gatehouse, and the porter's expression became more kind.
took out a few white porcelain jars, poured a glass of water for each of the three of them, and asked with a smile: "Do you have something to do with our glass factory?" The leaders at this point are also off work, and they won't go to work until 2 o'clock in the afternoon. "
"Uncle Wang, that's the case, we want to buy some glass bottles and find our sales department." Jiang Xiaobai took the water, thanked him and said.
"The sales department is on the second floor of the factory office, and after you go to work in the afternoon, you can go, and now you can rest with me for a while." Let me tell you, the Song section chief of this sales department is quite good, unlike that workshop ...."
Uncle doesn't know if it's usually like this or because of the smoke, and he knows everything and says everything.
Jiang Xiaobai is also willing to accompany the uncle to chatter and understand the situation of some glass factories, there are more than 300 people in this county's glass factory, which is the only glass factory in Zhangxuan County, and its main business is the glass of doors and windows.
Of course, there are some gossips about the glass factory, Jiang Xiaobai also remembered them one by one, for example, the factory director's father was hospitalized some time ago, for example, the factory flower and the director of the production workshop have a leg, and for example, the gossip in the factory is who is in the factory?
Of course, Jiang Xiaobai didn't believe the last point, he felt that the gossip was the old man Wang in the gatehouse.
"It's almost time, so Uncle Wang, let's go in and have a look?" Jiang Xiaobai interrupted the old man Wang, who was a little unsatisfied.
"Okay, it's time to go to work at this point, you guys go in and have a look." Old man Wang looked at the smoky yellowed clock hanging on the wall, it was already half past two in the afternoon.
As soon as they went out, Wang Xiaojun and Liu Aiguo breathed a long sigh of relief, Jiang Xiaobai smiled, and then walked towards the factory office in the direction told by the old Wang.
