The car is getting hotter and hotter, the smell of sweat and smoke, the smell of chicken and duck in the bag, although the mountain wind keeps blowing in through the window, but it is only slightly better than nothing, there are too many people, except for the head can move a little, the rest of the parts are all crowded with others.

The winding mountain road winds around the river, and on the other side is the hillside, woods and cliffs.

The car was wheezing and coughing like an old man, and the machine was screaming loudly, but it had no strength.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Wei, who was barely leaning on the car door and was drowsy, was woken up by the sound of brakes, and the person fell to the side with the force of the brakes, and was pushed back by the person in front of him.

"At the door, squeeze inside, open the door. The driver turned his head and shouted at the door.

Xiaowei also shouted: "Open it, you can't fall down." ”

The driver slapped the worn-out steering wheel and shouted: ", why can you open the door if you don't squeeze it up?" Go up. ”

A carload of people burst into laughter.

Xiao Wei blushed, and pushed the person in front of him into the car without saying a word, making room for the car door.

There was a heavy sigh from the door, and it shook before slowly folding and opening.

Xiaowei didn't turn around, and jumped out of the car with his back to the outside.

The conductor also jumped down, moved his neck, and shouted inside the car: "Don't worry, slow down, the outside goes first, the inside waits, don't squeeze." Wherever I look at things, they all come down and then unload, don't worry. Hey, that kid, what are you squeezing, didn't you see that there was an old man in front of you? That old man, hold on tight, don't fall, why don't you come out and run at such an old age. Slow down, slow down, there's a stepladder, step on it, hey, slow down. Hold me. Did someone pick you up? Where are you going? Can you find it?"

The conductor squeezed up and helped the old man down while being verbose, until the old man stood firm before he let go, and asked if anyone had picked up the car, and then turned his head to look at the back of the car: "Hey, that, you come down, what do you climb, wait for everyone to come down, are you in a hurry?"

The fourth uncle shouted in the car: "Xiaowei, don't go yet, help me unload things." Xiaowei stood under the car and agreed.

The car is small and has a big belly, the doors are narrow, and the car is full of people, which is already seriously overloaded, but this is a normal phenomenon in this era, and no one cares. It took more than ten minutes for the car to be empty, and those who were sitting got up and walked under the car. The conductor stilted his feet on the window and looked in, then walked to the back of the car, called someone to get the goods, or the person who took the car went up to get it himself, standing under the car and waiting without squeaking, one by one reached out to help, and it was much faster to take it down, and soon the roof was empty, and the fourth uncle didn't need to get on the car, and the things were handed down.

There are no buses in the county, but there are "sacred cows" at the long-distance station, which are human-powered tricycles, pedaled, and people sit in the back.

The fourth uncle gathered his things and stood there thinking for a long time, before he called a sacred cow, and after talking for a long time, he gave five cents less than the price, and then he happily shouted Xiaowei to help carry the things into the car, and he also climbed up, waved his hand to Xiaowei and shouted: "Then I'll go over, Xiaowei, why are you going back? ”

Xiaowei wiped the sweat on his head and said, "No, Fourth Uncle, I have to stay for a few days, you will come back tomorrow?"

The fourth uncle waved his hand and said, "There is work at home, I will leave the things and come back tomorrow." Let's go, be careful by yourself. The sacred cow squeaked hoarsely and walked away.

This is the county long-distance passenger station, just a row of bungalows, an earthen dam, even the courtyard wall is not, there are a few stalls on the side of the dam to sell popsicles and soda, there are also those who sell food, from the dam out is the cement road, along the cement road to go forward dozens of meters there are buildings, are two or three floors, are all government units.

The county seat is not big, one horizontal, two vertical and three cement roads of several kilometers are finished, and then the cement road becomes a dirt road, and it is full of vegetable fields and farmhouses.

The most central part of the county is not the county government compound, but the county agricultural machinery bureau, which is also the largest yard in the county, where there are all kinds of agricultural machinery, tractors, and granulators.

In the mid-80s, the Agricultural Machinery Bureau is in fact a subordinate secondary bureau of the Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fishery Bureau, the top is the Agricultural Machinery Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, and the province is the Agricultural Machinery Bureau of the Provincial Department of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries.

The Agricultural Machinery Bureau of Xiaoshi County is a four-story cement building, the cement is rained, and the brick square pillars have been somewhat cracked, revealing the red bricks inside.

Opposite to the Agricultural Machinery Bureau is the County Public Security Bureau, two and a half floors of cement building, at the other end of the road, the intersection between the two bureaus turns right and walks to the end is the county government compound, but the yard is not as big as the Agricultural Machinery Bureau, the building is higher, there is an extra piece on the fourth floor, it is a large conference room of the government, with the national flag standing on it, which is the highest point of the entire county.

Xiao Wei looked around and inquired while walking down the road to the gate of the Agricultural Machinery Bureau, standing on the edge of the big iron gate and looking into the yard.

Out of the open wooden door of the guard's room came an old man with gray hair, wearing a blue vest, military trousers, trouser legs pulled up to his knees, pulling a pair of sneakers, and the fan in his hand pointed at Xiaowei.

Xiaowei was taken aback, took a step back, turned his head to look at the old man, scratched his head for a long time and said, "What, that uncle, this is the Agricultural Machinery Bureau, right?"

The old man took back the fan and asked, "Where did you come from?"

Xiaowei licked his lips and said, "I'm looking for my uncle, and I also know my brother-in-law, named Xiaofeng, who works here." ”

The old man frowned, but his voice slowed down, and he asked, "What's your uncle's name?" What is Xiaofeng's name? Which house is it?"

Xiaowei seemed to have ants crawling on his body at this time, and he writhed for a long time and said: "My uncle's surname is Wang, honey and grass, Xiaofeng, I don't know what it's called, it's my fourth uncle's uncle, I really work here, I can still coax you." ”

The old man came out with a fan and asked, "Are you looking for someone?"

Xiao Wei snorted and said: "My uncle asked people to bring a letter to me here, I don't know Gaha, I also wonder, what can I do, I can't do anything, I don't know a few words." ”

The old man looked at Xiaowei, smiled, and asked, "Didn't you go to school?"

Xiaowei was a little embarrassed and said: "After studying for a few days, I can't learn, I won't study in the fourth grade, I work a lot at home, and I farm at home." ”

The old man nodded and said, "The book has to be read, and it is still useful." He turned his head and glanced at the north, and said loudly: "Xiao Li, Xiao Lizi, come, come, come." ”
