The jeep sped across the Gobi, much faster than the truck.

Yang Xiaotao clenched the steering wheel, his face full of excitement.

The young man on the side looked at Yang Xiaotao nervously, holding the handlebar with one hand.

The driver behind him admired Yang Xiaotao's driving skills, and he had the most say in how difficult it was to drive this Shanghai factory jeep.

But in Yang Xiaotao's hands, it is not like the original car.

"Comrade Gao Yu, take it easy, it's okay at this speed."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the nervous appearance of the young man on the side, and opened his mouth to comfort.

Once you come to this kind of flat place, there is no road, and naturally there will be no pet 'children', and you can drive unscrupulously.

And there are no traffic lights, there are fewer forks in the road and turns, as long as you hold the steering wheel and step on the accelerator.

Besides, the speed of this car is really not fast.

This domestic jeep obviously has a bad engine, and it feels good to be able to run to fifty.

Compared with the eighty or ninety riding of a bicycle in later generations, more than 100 kilometers per hour is simply a tractor.

This is also the reason why Yang Xiaotao wants to drive.

I haven't used it to acquire driving mastery skills myself, but this time I finally have a place to use it.

"Mr. Yang, have you ever driven a car before?"

The voice of the driver Lao Ma came from behind him, and Yang Xiaotao nodded.

"Drive, tractor."

Well, it's kind of driving.

"Mr. Yang, I heard that the tractors on the farm were produced by you?"

"No, I designed it, the big guy made it."

"You're amazing."

"Haha, it's average, my best thing is driving, sit down, it's going uphill."

The car rushed up the dirt slope with a bang, and then flew away from the highest point, and the hearts of the three people were suddenly weightless and empty.

bang

The wheels hit the ground and continued forward with a bang.

"Cool~~~"

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the car finally stopped at a place in the town of Xihe.

The hearts of the two accompanying people also returned to their stomachs, and the driver Lao Ma made up his mind that he must drive himself tomorrow, and he couldn't let this little madman drive.

The three of them went to the local government, explained the situation, showed their documents, and found a local place to rest.

When he came to his residence, Yang Xiaotao put down his salute, and went to the town with the two to find a restaurant to eat, and asked about the situation of the farm.

Although he asked in the car, Gao Yu didn't say much, and now he took advantage of the time to eat.

The three of them went to the restaurant arranged by the local comrades, and each of them asked for a bowl of large wide noodles. Then, Gao Yu took out the local food stamps from his briefcase, took another five cents and handed them to the local comrades.

Yang Xiaotao took a look, got up and asked what special dishes there were, and the staff smiled and said that there was mixed mutton.

Yang Xiaotao asked for one, Gao Yu on the side looked embarrassed, he came out for approval this time, and the funds for approval this time were so much, and this plate of mutton was at least one dollar.

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, it was not over, and he asked the staff to add a fire, and he couldn't sit still in the high rain, so he stood up and was about to speak, but he was stopped by the old horse.

He drives all year round and has seen a lot of things, and he can see that Yang Xiaotao is not a person who does not distinguish between importance and importance, so let him not worry.

Then Yang Xiaotao asked for a bottle of wine, and took out a stack of money tickets from his pocket.

"Comrade, I don't have local food stamps, only national food stamps, okay."

The local staff were shocked when they looked at the thick stack of national food stamps, this is a good thing, not only can they buy grain, but more importantly, they can buy edible oil.

Seeing Yang Xiaotao ask, he nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes." ”

"Okay, these are all counted by me, you count."

"By the way, just find me some food stamps for the extra ones."

Yang Xiaotao handed over a ten-pound national food stamp, and the staff immediately took it with a smile, and after checking it carefully, he found a stack of local food stamps.

When Yang Xiaotao sat back and waited, Gao Yu and Lao Ma were also shocked.

Anyone who goes out will bring some national food stamps, but it is rare to take out a handful.

In reality, this food stamp is only part of it.

"Teacher Yang, I'm really sorry to ask you for a treat when I come out to eat."

Lao Ma smiled and spoke, and so did Gao Yu on the side, "When I came, the field director specially approved the note, but I didn't expect it."

Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, "I brought this from Sijiu City, but it turned around a lot, and I didn't use anything." If it hadn't been for this time, it wouldn't have been spent. ”

The two laughed.

After a while, the staff of the restaurant brought the mixed mutton over and gave a plate of soy sauce garlic, which was a side dish.

Then there were three fires, each with half a catty, which was much stronger than a bowl of wide noodles.

The old horse saw that there was wine, quickly got started, and took the wine cup to fill it one by one.

Drink some wine on a cold day to warm up.

The three of them drank wine and ate food, and soon became acquainted.

Gao Yu is young, he doesn't drink much, he gets on his face after drinking a glass, and he has a big tongue when he speaks.

At that time, Lao Ma accompanied Yang Xiaotao to drink most of the time, and he was not drunk, but he also talked a lot.

"Old Ma, Xiao Gao, how is the situation on the farm?"

"Teacher Yang, I also heard that you made this corn."

Gao Yu said, Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, "I'm one year older than you, just call me Brother Yang." ”

"No, no, the field manager said, you are Teacher Yang."

"Well, whatever you want. Are you that far from here? ”

"Far. Fill up the gas and have to bring another bucket. ”

Lao Ma said with a wine glass, Yang Xiaotao picked it up and touched it, "Are the children okay?" ”

"When I first arrived, I had a stubble of illness, and I couldn't adapt to the soil and water, and adults were like that, let alone children."

The old horse sighed, and Gao Yu on the side hurriedly explained, "It's all fine now, it's okay." ”

The old horse nodded, and Yang Xiaotao was relieved.

Don't look at the fact that now the 12-year-old children in the countryside have begun to work in the fields to earn a share of the work, which is regarded as half a laborer.

But in Yang Xiaotao's view, the children of Yangjiazhuang School have embarked on another path, a different road to success.

This trip can be regarded as a grind for these children.

If you don't cut jade, if you don't come out to take a look, you will never know how vast the world is!

"Where's Director Gao?"

"Thin."

"Is the farm big?"

"It's huge!"

"Old Ma, can we get there tomorrow?"

"Almost, go early, if it's fast, it'll be there before dark."

"That's good."

Yang Xiaotao didn't ask himself what he was doing, Gao Yufeng didn't say it in the letter, it is estimated that he asked, and he may not be able to say it.

After the three of them finished eating, Yang Xiaotao proposed to buy something, Gao Yu nodded and did not refuse, and the two followed Yang Xiaotao all the way around the town.

It was getting dark, and the two came to the local supply and marketing cooperative, and then they were dumbfounded.

Although it is a supply and marketing cooperatives in the town, the things inside really can't be compared with Sijiu City, not only the store is small, there are only two salesmen, and most of them are non-staple food areas.

This time, Yang Xiaotao wanted to buy more things for the children to bring.

Yang Xiaotao wanted to buy sugar, but told him that there was only maltose, and there were only one or two catties.

I had no choice but to buy it.

As for the White Rabbit toffee, the salesperson of the supply and marketing cooperatives said that he had not seen it.

I didn't buy sugar, so Yang Xiaotao had to buy all the dried fruit pastries on the counter.

Now it was the other people's turn to be dumbfounded.

The salespeople are a little incredible, who buys so much?

This is either hoarding Juqi or joking, teasing the two little girls.

It's just that I saw Yang Xiaotao take out the money ticket seriously, and then I came back to my senses, people are serious!

According to Yang Xiaotao's request, the two packed the things on the counter.

As a result, the old horse had a large package in his hand.

This is not over, Yang Xiaotao looked at other uses, and saw a basket of eggs on the counter.

I didn't think much about it, I bought them all.

The two salesmen smiled, this time the task was overdone.

Later, I found that there was nothing else except cloth, no tobacco or alcohol, no melon seeds, and a lot of matches or something, so I thought about it and planned to buy all the cloth.

This is even more surprising.

The same goes for Gao Yu and Lao Ma.

Cloth stamps are not as good as food stamps and meat stamps, which is a rare thing, and there are not many cloths in this supply and marketing cooperative, but they can be sold for a long time.

And on the farm, the above allocates it every year, so that's it.

The director of the field is reluctant to use it, and it is precious to put it in the warehouse.

Now, if someone wants to buy them all, how many cloth tickets will they have!

In the incredibleness of the staff, Yang Xiaotao took out a few cloth tickets from a bundle of tickets, and after several people repeatedly confirmed that they were correct, they looked at the remaining bills, and they were all speechless.

It is estimated that the cloth here is twice as much, and people can afford it.

At this time, the two saleswomen also knew that Yang Xiaotao was from Sijiu City, and they were all sighing in their hearts, worthy of being from Sijiu City.

The older ones seem to have started to help the staff officers buy something, and the younger ones are shy, but they also inquire about the news from time to time, and they almost ask if they are married.

If you don't get married, you don't mind going back to Sijiu City with you.

This made the old horse, who was still a singleton on the side, very apprehensive.

Yang Xiaotao was thinking about buying things, but he didn't pay attention to them.

"Do we have meat here?"

Yang Xiaotao picked out a few meat tickets from a pile of tickets again, and the eyes of the two female saleswomen were almost straight.

They have also worked in this supply and marketing cooperatives for a long time, but it is the first time they have seen so many tickets to buy meat.

That's how much to buy.

The younger one spoke directly, "There wasn't much meat in the first place, and it was sold out early in the morning." ”

"Oh, it looks the same everywhere."

Yang Xiaotao remembered that it was the same in Sijiu City, when you had to queue up to buy meat, there was no hair left when you went late.

didn't buy meat, Yang Xiaotao was a little disappointed.

What he wanted most was to bring the meat and cook a delicious meal for the children.

"If you're not in a hurry, come early tomorrow. Uncle Ahsan will slaughter a sheep. ”

The older one on the side suddenly spoke, and Yang Xiaotao suddenly became interested.

"No hurry, what time is it?"

"It will be delivered at five o'clock, but the supply and marketing cooperatives will not open until eight o'clock."

Yang Xiaotao suddenly laughed, "Two female comrades, I came to buy supplies on behalf of the farm this time. See if you can be accommodating, I don't want more, half of the mutton is fine, of course, the rest of the head, bones, internal organs, etc., if you can, you can give it to me together. ”

After speaking, the two salesmen glanced at each other, and then nodded.

"Yes, we open at six, you can come early."

"Thank you so much."

"No, it's all about serving the people, and it's as it should be."

The two saleswomen said enthusiastically, and the old horse was hot for a while.

If this was so enthusiastic about him, he would have seized the opportunity.

In the end, Yang Xiaotao and Lao Ma walked back together with their things.

Gao Yu was carrying the cloth, and his face was very ashamed.

I was sent to pick up people, and I asked people to buy gifts, how to explain to the field manager this time?

Wait to get back to the station.

Running all the way, the three of them went to bed after washing.

Yang Xiaotao lives in one room, and Lao Ma and Gao Yu live in one room.

Not long after lying down, soon there was a snoring sound.

A hundred miles away, Liu Daming and his party were getting on the train, starting slowly, and moving in the direction of home.
