The old-fashioned old coach waddled like a fat, languid woman, waddling along the asphalt road, which was sometimes flat and sometimes potholed. The interior of the carriage was covered with a layer of earthy yellow sawdust boards all around and on top, and the color was dull and dull.

The carriage was full of people, and the passage in the middle was also stuffed with all kinds of luggage packages and sacks, bamboo baskets, and from those sacks and bamboo baskets, from time to time there were a few ducks, chickens and frogs croaking, and a few baby cries from time to time in the carriage were intertwined, one after another.

The only two windows in the back of the car that can be opened and closed and the two breathable sunroofs on the roof are closed tightly to protect against the cold air outside. The air inside the carriage was cloudy, with the suffocating smell of chicken and duck droppings and low-quality tobacco.

Zhou Jianhua and Zhong Min sat in the dark green wood-wrapped leather bus seat swaying from side to side like swaddling clothes, and their bodies were constantly swaying back and forth with the swaying of the body, drowsy and hazy.

This morning, Zhou Jianhua and Zhong Min hurriedly had breakfast before seven o'clock and rushed to the only bus station in Jiancheng County, but found that there were only two buses to Xinchun City all day, and the departure time was nine o'clock in the morning and two o'clock in the afternoon. Only one of the only two ticket windows in the ticket hall was opened, and the two of them queued for more than half an hour to buy tickets for the afternoon, and the tickets for the morning train were sold out in advance yesterday.

The two had no choice but to return to the seed farm, Zhong Min rode out of the house in the morning to take a turn to pick up his motor business, and Zhou Jianhua watched his younger brother do his small production in his bedroom, while conceiving the technical solution of the public security bureau's communication base station. After lunch in the afternoon, Zhou Jianhua and Zhong Mincai came to the bus station again and finally got on the bus to Xinchun City.

The bus departed at 2 p.m. on time, stopping at several stations along the way, but it was already dark but had not yet reached its destination. Both of them have been squinting all afternoon, and now they are completely sleepy, and they can't help but be a little irritable.

"Alas......" Zhong Min couldn't bear it at first, and let out a long sigh.

"Awake?" Zhou Jianhua half-squinted, turned his head to look at Zhong Min, and said.

"Alas! Stand...... I regret not bringing a padded jacket to pad it, and my butt hurts to sit on...... Feelings: It's harder to ride a car than to ride a bike! Zhong Min reached out and pinched his buttocks, which were not much meat, and said.

"Huh...... Who made you look so thin, you are hard and crunchy! Zhou Jianhua teased.

"If you can't get this business this time, you'll lose a lot of money......," Zhong Min muttered.

"Now that you have come, you must have the faith that you will win! This project has to be taken down! Zhou Jianhua said:

"Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Tomorrow we go to the city bureau, and you will be the one who takes the lead! You have to think about who to talk to, what to talk about, how to talk about it, and how to talk about it in all aspects of your words and deeds. ”

"It's okay for you to let me fool around on the streets of our county, and go to the public security bureau to fool...... I really don't know the bottom of my heart! Zhong Min said as he raised his hand and slapped his forehead, frowning and embarrassed.

"Tomorrow, you will treat yourself as an electronic professional technician and blow hard with them, for those who don't understand technology, you can just brag nonsense, for those who understand, you will be modest, hidden deeply, I will help you at the critical moment!" Zhou Jianhua looked at Zhong Min with a smile and said:

"When the time comes, you just treat me as your apprentice, and I will follow you with my toolkit, if you have anything to be embarrassed about or don't know how to answer, you just say slow down, and I will naturally intervene to help you give it round."

"So, what can I do if I blow it out?" Jongmin asked worriedly. I still don't know the bottom in my heart, but he knows Zhou Jianhua's ability a little, and it seems that there is nothing in the entire county that can be difficult for him.

"Huh...... You blew it out, I'll fill it for you! Don't be afraid, just blow it! Zhou Jianhua replied with a confident smile:

"Just be careful, don't tell obvious lies, let people grab the handle, it's done."

"Good! Think about it...... However, I don't know much about electronics, so I'm afraid it won't work......" Zhong Min replied with a wicked smile.

"Hmm...... I'm going to teach you some terms about electronic circuits now, you can understand it, and if you can't understand it, you will memorize it, and tomorrow when you talk to them, you will look at it yourself, and throw a few professional terms out from time to time, how awesome it is! ”

Zhou Jianhua had an idea, and just took advantage of this boring moment to give Zhong Min a simple popular science training.

At about seven o'clock in the evening, the bus finally entered the bus station of Xinchun City, and the journey of more than 200 kilometers took more than five hours, and it was completely dark at this time.

The two of them got out of the station, and quickly found a nearby restaurant to fry two dishes for dinner. Fortunately, there are many self-employed people in Xinchun City, and it is not difficult to find a small restaurant near the station that is still open at this hour. If you are in Jiancheng County, you must have no food at this hour, so you can only go to the self-employed Nangrocery store to buy some pastries to satisfy your hunger, and those state-run stores usually close at half past five in the afternoon.

Zhou Jianhua and Zhong Min were not familiar with each other, and after eating, they asked the shopkeeper about the direction of the Public Security Bureau and the branch of the nearby hotel, so they followed the direction pointed out by the shopkeeper and looked all the way, there were no uniformly set street lights on the road, only a few incandescent street lamps occasionally on the exterior walls of some storefronts and residents on the street, most of the lots were dark, and people walking across the street could not distinguish between men and women.

Restaurants and grocery stores can be found to be self-employed, while hotels are classified as "special industries" in the public security system, and in this era only state-run ones are available.

Zhou Jianhua and Zhong Min inquired along the way, and finally found the Municipal Public Security Bureau after half an hour, and found a "Xinxing Hotel" near it and walked in.

The duty room at the entrance of the hotel opened a half-meter square window hole in the wall of the doorway hallway, and the wooden partition in the window hole was ajar, and a middle-aged woman inside heard someone coming in, poked her head over and glanced at the aisle and asked:

"Are you staying in a hotel?"

"Yes!"

"How many?"

"Two."

"Bring the letter of introduction to ......"

“…… Is it okay to have a work permit? ”

"Yes!"

Zhong Min took out a small fold with a red plastic cover from his pocket and handed it through the window.

This kind of small red notebook with a photo, indicating the person's name, age, place of origin and occupation information, and stamped with the red seal of the state-owned unit is also a status symbol in this era, and it is a necessary thing to go out on a business trip to visit relatives and friends.

"Still, one person?" The middle-aged woman asked again.

“…… He's my brother, or a student! Zhong Min replied.

The middle-aged woman looked at Zhou Jianhua again, didn't say anything, registered Zhong Min's ID information, and handed back the red work card to Zhong Min:

"One bed for five, three for two people!"

Zhou Jianhua stuffed the prepared money through the window hole, and the middle-aged woman looked for the money, threw out two small bamboo plaques engraved with the room number, and said:

"Room 6, you can see it if you go straight inside."

Zhou Jianhua originally wanted to ask if there was a single room or a room for two people, his habit in his previous life was really not used to sleeping in the same room with strangers, but he thought about it and stopped this idea.

How can there be a single room in this kind of small hotel in these years, even if there is, it is not something that ordinary young people are willing to live in, even if it is a couple who travel together, they generally sleep separately in the male and female bunk rooms, and the two opposite sexes want to sleep in a room in the hostel, and they are not ready to bring a marriage certificate, which is never allowed.

In the context of such an era, the two young people who are not good-looking ask to live in a single room or a room for two people, which must not be the focus of attention!

What makes Zhou Jianhua and Zhong Min happy is that there are no other travelers living in Room 6, and they are naturally much more relaxed without outsiders to disturb them.

Zhou Jianhua looked at two small bamboo signs, which were engraved with "21 beds in room 06" and "22 beds in room 06".

"Good luck! This is a new room tonight, and it's so late, I don't think anyone else will come...... I can get a good night's sleep today. Zhou Jianhua said happily.

"I've slept all afternoon, where can I still sleep......" Zhong Min replied.

"Huh...... I can't sleep right now! Zhou Jianhua nodded with a smile and said:

"We got up early in the morning today to catch a late meeting, and we have to grasp the time for tomorrow. I'd better tell you about the plan for the base station communication equipment I want to design for the Municipal Public Security Bureau, so that you won't be able to blow it out tomorrow......"

It's still past eight o'clock in the evening, but in this era, in the counties and cities of such inland provinces, it is already the time when most residents and families can prepare to wash and rest. Nightlife is only beginning to emerge among a very small number of people in a few big cities, and if you want to spend the night in this kind of place, you can only go out and dance to the disco in the cold wind of early spring.
