"Don't be polite to me, Xiao Zheng, you are our driver, and you need cigarettes to refresh yourself."

Under the persuasion of everyone, Xiao Zheng couldn't refuse if he wanted to, so he could only accept it in the end.

The high-speed rail is very boring, there is basically no signal out of the main urban area, and there is no network, and the group can only pass the time through small talk.

"Xiao Zheng, where are you from? When did you join the company? Lao Fang asked.

"My hometown is from Heizhou in Northeast China, and I used to drive a big car in the army, and I only joined the company at the end of last year, and it has been less than three months now!" Xiao Zheng replied.

"Are you here to work alone, or have your whole family moved here?" Xu Dong asked casually.

"The whole family has moved here."

Xiao Zheng's family is still a little energetic, and the family successfully obtained a temporary residence permit in the capital, otherwise he would not have been able to enter the power company, although he is only a contract worker, but it is much better than a dispatch worker.

"How's life going in the Black State?" Lao Wang said curiously.

Xiao Zheng shook his head: "Life is very hard, especially in winter, the rations are not enough to eat, not to mention the children, even adults can't stand it." ”

"How much ration do you have a month?"

"Take our family as an example, the whole family has a total of five people, three adults and two children, at least one month, our family only bought 71 catties of grain, and the majority is potatoes and sweet potatoes.

If it weren't for the fact that the family still had some food in stock, the family would almost not have survived, and I remember that the price of a pound of potatoes at that time was fried to more than 100,000 yuan on the black market. ”

"How can there be such a cruel shortage?" Xu Dong frowned.

It stands to reason that rations are distributed uniformly throughout the country, and even if they are small, there must be a limit, and there can be no big difference between the states.

Xiao Zheng explained with a wry smile: "During that time, I happened to encounter a super sandstorm, the roads were buried by sand, and the grain could not be transported at all, even if there was grain on the grain card, you could not buy cash grain." ”

"I see!" Xu Dong said with emotion, this is a natural disaster, and no one can do anything.

"Since this incident, our family has made up their minds to move, and if this happens again, it is difficult to say whether we can support it."

"So, the outflow of people over there is quite serious?" Lao Fang then asked.

"It's very serious, most of the rich and powerful are gone, and even our capital is now almost half empty."

"Then the house price should be cheap, right?"

"It's very cheap, the average price of the general community is less than 3,000 fast, and the small and medium-sized cities below are even worse, in order to attract the population, the house is almost equal to giving it away for nothing." Xiao Zheng replied.

"So exaggerated?" The old side expressed skepticism.

"In small and medium-sized cities, water and electricity are often cut off, and sometimes even the heating is cut off, and their houses over there can't be delivered to people, and people are running out."

Xu Dong touched his chin and had to sigh: "If you suffer a loss over there, you will suffer a loss in the absence of an outlet to the sea, and you will be blocked directly, which is really disgusting." ”

"Hit the nail on the head!" Lao Fang immediately gave a thumbs up.

Xiao Zheng hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something.

Xu Dong hurriedly asked, "What?" Is there a secret to this? ”

Everyone became interested and hurriedly asked.

"Hey, I'll just say it, it's probably all an open secret." Xiao Zheng sighed, "Actually, I don't know much. ”

"Don't bother, say it!" The old man urged.

"Our country seems to have carried out comprehensive and in-depth cooperation with the woolly bear people in the east, and the access to the sea is not a problem at all, and many desalination plants have been built.

The biggest problem is that the temperature is too low, especially in winter, when the coldest time is minus 50 or 60 degrees Celsius, and no industry can be done in this extreme weather. ”

"When you say that, it does seem to make some sense." Lao Fang echoed.

Xu Dong was very curious about the cooperation of Mao Xiong Guo, and couldn't help asking: "Xiao Zheng, do you know what the situation is on Mao Xiong's side now?" ”

"I really know a little bit about this, at present, the woolly bear people in the entire Asian region have either gone to the west or settled in our country.

The climate on their side is even harsher, and because of the lack of big cities and poor infrastructure, there is no way to survive.

The previous fire of Temporia almost burned their coastal territory, and in the end, it was our help that put out the fire. ”

"Where did they all settle down?"

"Mainly in our capital Bingcheng, there are also quite a few in other cities, adding up to about 300,000 people, and a separate settlement has been allocated for them, and at the same time, food cards have been issued."

"So generous?"

Xu Dong suspected that he had misheard, and he had personally experienced the previous refugee crisis in the South Korea.

"Of course, there are conditions, the two sides seem to have signed a cooperation agreement, I don't know what the specific content is, I heard that several domestic mining giants have opened branches there."

Xu Dong probably figured out the context of the matter.

According to the memory of the previous life, the hairy bear country is also one of the founding members of the Asian League, and it seems that the cooperation between the two sides has long been in full swing.

……

Chat time always goes by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, when it was time for lunch, Xu Dong did not prepare any bento, but directly took out a bag of sweet potato cakes for lunch.

Recently, he has been a little overweight, and he wants to take the opportunity of this business trip to "hone" himself.

The old man teased with the lunch box: "Xiao Xu, did you quarrel with your daughter-in-law?" Why didn't you even prepare a boxed lunch? ”

"I left in a hurry in the morning, and I left home." Xu Dong took a hard bite of the sweet potato cake.

"Would you like us to share some of your food?"

"No need." Xu Dong held up the sweet potato cake and said, "You guys eat yours, I have sweet potato cakes, and I can't be hungry." ”

"Your sweet potato cake looks good, can you let me try it too?" The old man said cheekily.

Xu Dong directly gave one to the other party.

Homemade sweet potato cakes are different from ordinary sweet potato cakes, with ingredients such as peanuts, sesame seeds and honey in them, which are sweet but not greasy, crispy and delicious.

"It's delicious, it's delicious!" The old party praised again and again.

After the meal, everyone took a nap, and Xiao Zheng volunteered to help everyone guard their luggage.

The afternoon chat continued.

Until more than six o'clock in the evening, the train arrived at Mindong Station on time, due to the urgency of time, just out of the station, five people chartered a noodle car, hurried to the following Funing County.

The handover site is located in a private farm in Funing County.

It's all the way again.

After an hour and a half, the chartered bus finally arrived at its destination, and before the curfew, everyone finally checked into the local hotel.

As the saying goes, they don't plan to challenge the curfew system here, and it's better to keep a low profile when they go out.

PS: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly passes!
