So, before getting into the car, he made four bowls of hot dry noodles on the streets of Wuhan as if he had never eaten.

"Comrade, you're the singing Disco, aren't you?" While waiting for the bus, Disco was recognized by the staff in the dispatch room.

"yes, I'm the Disco who sings." Disco greeted the people with a smile.

"Haha, I didn't expect to meet a star on a trip today!" The man scratched his hair in a humble way.

"I'm not a celebrity," Disco ripped off the print on his T-shirt and pointed to the work card on his chest, "We're colleagues." ”

The members of the delegation wore uniform white T-shirts and white pants, and the words "Youth Escort Three Express Delegations of the Ministry of Economic and Trade Escort" were printed on their chests.

And the eldest brother's work card also reads, "The Ministry of Economy and Trade supplies Hong Kong and Macao three express railway escort certificates, Guo Sikui."

"My daughter has a cassette tape of yours, and she learns to sing foreign songs with you every day," Guo Sikuile said, "I like you." ”

"Big brother, how old is your daughter?"

"It's fifteen, I just finished the high school exam, and I'm playing crazy at home during the summer vacation!" Speaking of his daughter, Guo Sikui spoke with doting.

Disco took out a tape of his and Lao Huang's chorus album from his backpack, handed it to the other party and said, "This is the first tape I recorded, I don't know if it is sold here in Wuhan." I'll give this tape to your daughter and wish her a good result in the high school entrance examination. ”

He had long since discovered that his tapes were hard currency.

Giving someone an audio tape outside is sometimes more effective than handing out cigarettes and alcohol.

So when he went out this time, he didn't bring much luggage, but he carried a tape with half a school bag.

If you meet someone who can recognize him and talk to him, you will give someone a plate.

Guo Sikui waved his hand and said, "This tape is quite expensive, we can't ask for it." ”

"It's okay, my own tapes don't cost anything." Disko took out a pen and signed it, and after asking his daughter's name, he wrote words encouraging her to study hard, "It's rare to meet an audience who likes me, and we are also fated." ”

Guo Sikui no longer refused, and sat next to them with a lunch box, chatting while eating.

When he heard that they were going to escort the wagons of live animals, he wiped his mouth and said, "Then you can get into my carriage in a moment, for my carriage is for transporting live fish, and the conditions are a little better than those of their live pig wagons." ”

"Aren't all the wagons transporting pigs?"

Because they were all live pigs and there was nothing to pick, Director Xu asked everyone to find a car in groups of three to get on the bus by themselves.

As for which pigs to stay in the same carriage with, the leaders don't care, as long as they don't fall behind.

"No, there are two carriages for carrying live fish, and there are carriages for transporting geese." Guo Sikui explained, "The smell of the live fish carriage is not so strong, but there is a lot of work, if you like, you can come to my live fish carriage." ”

When Disco got the news, he went to Director Xu and Long Junhua, who were close to him, and asked if they wanted to join him.

"It's my fourth brother who escorts the live fish," Disco patted Guo Sikui on the shoulder, "We can get in the car with him, it's just a bit too much work." ”

Director Xu saw that the two of them behaved intimately, thinking that they were really relatives, and it was good to have acquaintances to take care of them when they went out!

"What are you afraid of at work!" Director Xu happily agreed, "My hometown is from the countryside, what dirty work have you never done?" ”

Long Junhua naturally has no words, she can stay in a relatively good environment, who wants to find guilt if she has nothing to do?

Disco felt that he and Pang Qingzu were colleagues in the same department, and he still had to remind Pang Qingzu of such a good thing.

So, he also found Mr. Pang.

However, he said, "Mr. Pang, I found two carriages for escorting live fish, the environment is much better than that of live pig carriages, and I heard that there is no smell of pig manure." Shall I reserve a spot for you? You'll also be able to stay a little more relaxed. ”

Hearing this, Pang Qingzu really did not expect from Disco, and refused righteously.

"The escort stays with the live pig all year round without complaint, we just stay for two days, and we can endure it." Pang Qingzu waved his hand and said, "Xiaodi, you don't have to worry about me, young people still have to be more down-to-earth in their work......

Disco stood there and listened to him speak a great truth, and then said with a very humble attitude: "Okay, Mr. Pang, then I won't leave you a place." Director Xu still has something to do for me to run errands, so I'll go first. ”

"Well, you go get busy."

Disko staggered and ran.

As soon as the time came, he got on the live fish transport truck with Director Xu and Long Junhua.

Hong Kong Island likes to eat fresh seafood, and all aquatic products are required to be fresh.

People don't accept dead fish, so in order to earn foreign exchange smoothly, the escorts who escort live fish really think of ways to reduce the mortality rate of live fish in transportation.

The carriage is full of fish ponds, and in the whole carriage, except for the fish, it is the bait for feeding the fish.

There is almost no place to stay.

Guo Sikui usually uses two wooden planks to build a simple bed in the corner of the carriage, and when he is sleepy, he takes a temporary rest on it.

After the three of them got into the car, they could only put their luggage wrapped in plastic sheets on the floor as chairs, barely able to sit on the ground.

"The smell in this compartment is better than that of live pigs, but I'm not lying, there is more than twice as much work here as there are live pigs." Guo Sikui changed into waterproof rubber shoes and walked back and forth in the pool, "As long as the live pig is fed enough water and takes more showers, it will basically not die easily." But I can't do this live fish, if I don't pay attention, I can die a lot. We'll lose a lot of money then! ”

All three of them felt that raising fish was not a difficult task, as long as there was enough oxygen, the live fish could not die if they wanted to.

However, the key issue is how to ensure that oxygen is sufficient.

There is no oxygen concentrator on board.

To keep the pool oxygen, they have to walk around the pool with water shoes on all the time, using the soil method to produce oxygen.

Even if it's summer, if you keep wearing water shoes and soak in the water, you can feel the chill gradually coming out of the soles of your feet.

Disco asked, "Fourth brother, we don't have any other way to produce oxygen?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's just a bit of a waste leg." Guo Sikui took out a tool that was improved by a bicycle and resembled a waterwheel, and gave a demonstration to the three of them.

He pedaled outside the pool, and the tires turned in the pool, which made a lot of splashes.

Tired is tired, it's better than standing in the pool for a night!

The gay men gave the waterwheel to Long Junhua and asked her to sit outside and pedal.

While walking back and forth in the pool, oxygenating the live fish, everyone asked about Guo Sikui's life as an escort.

After all, it is an investigation and practice activity, and they don't just work hard, but also write a research report after returning to the unit.

You can take this opportunity to ask the front-line escort about some escort details.

In this environment, it was almost impossible to sleep and rest, and several people chatted for a night, and the next morning when they stopped temporarily at a small station to replenish water and ice, Pang Qingzu looked for it with the smell of pig's poop.

"Teacher Pang, how are you resting?" "It's a good thing you didn't come to our live fish wagon," said Disco, "and the three of us have been standing in the pool all night long, and there is no place to rest in this car. ”

Pang Qingzu's eyes were blue and black, and he obviously didn't have a good rest.

He had a place to sleep, but he could touch the old sow's face with a twist of his head.

I feel that my clothes and duffel bags can smell in the wind.

When he got off the train just now, the staff at the supply station walked around him.

"What are you doing escorting live fish?" Pang Qingzu inquired.

"It's in the pool to produce oxygen," Disco said empathetically, "It's easy to get nephritis when you do this job, and it's all an occupational disease for the escorts!" ”

Pang Qingzu's kidney was not very good, and when he heard this, he immediately dispelled the idea of changing positions with him, and left with a stinky face behind his back.

Disco really didn't fool him, not only did he have to change the water in this pool, but he also had to add ice cubes.

He didn't dare to stay in the pool during the day, he wasn't married yet, so he couldn't get an occupational disease.

When the train arrived in Shenzhen, it was already two days later.

The trucks will be marshalled here on the same day, and after passing through the "one customs and four inspections", all the goods will be sent to Hong Kong Island in the early morning.

At this time, the dozens of railroad tracks of the station are full of fresh trains escorted from all over the country.

Half of them were transported by three express trains, and it is said that there were at least five hundred carriages.

According to the itinerary of the delegation, all members must continue to stick here, visit the customs clearance and inspection process throughout the process, and also have to change the water and feed the live pigs and fish to prevent these live animals from dying at the last moment.

However, Disco, Long Junhua and Director Xu all have other tasks on their shoulders.

Director Xu is going to meet with representatives of Hong Kong and Macau, while Disco and Long Junhua are going to attend the rehearsal of the celebratory party hosted by the TV station.

Therefore, the three of them left the team temporarily, opened two standard rooms in the guest house of the municipal party committee, washed away the fishy smell all over their bodies, and rushed to the next destination non-stop.

The venue for the celebration was arranged in the gymnasium.

The last time Disco came to Shenzhen was four years ago, when the stadium had not yet been completed.

According to the address given by the organizer, he took a bus and touched it.

Long Junhua was appointed by the Youth League to connect with the TV station, however, without her introduction, the assistant director of the party held Disko's hand and said: "Comrade Xiao Di, I haven't seen you for a long time, thank you for your strong support for our activities!" ”

The assistant director of this party was the assistant director of the Youth Song Competition, and he met with Disco a few times.

Disco hurriedly said: "I still have to thank our TV station for taking care of me, I am a newcomer to the unit, such a high-level event originally did not have my share, if it wasn't for Director Zheng's call, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to come out to appreciate the speed of Shenzhen." ”

After a while of greetings, Disco was taken to a large actors' lounge.

All the actors' costume and makeup are done here.

However, there is a clear distinction in the lounge.

Mainland actors sat on the left side in a bunch, and Hong Kong and Macao actors gathered together to sit on the right.

The vanity mirror on the left side was already occupied, and Disco automatically went to the right side.

In recent years, there are still strict restrictions on the import of overseas music works, so there are not many Hong Kong and Taiwan actors who come to the mainland to perform.

I didn't know how many people would be invited to this performance, but at this time, there were only three actors sitting in front of the makeup mirror on the right side.

As Disko walked over, he was listening to a young man complaining to a seated actress: "Your show has long been scheduled for the end of the year, and Linda suddenly brought you to the mainland, just because she was uneasy and wanted to marginalize you in the company at this critical moment." ”

"She has long said that now that the mainland is open, she wants to help me open up the mainland market." The actress whispered, "You pay more attention here and don't talk nonsense." This is a party of the Central Television, which is very influential in the mainland, and if we want to come to the mainland for development, it is indispensable to deal with them. ”

Finding that Disco and Long Junhua were coming over, the actress stopped talking and nodded politely at them.

Knowing that most mainland actors don't speak Cantonese, the young man replied without hesitation: "As long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be done." Didn't the company say that it could take out 600,000 to 800,000 yuan to help you hold a concert? With this money, someone will take the initiative to serve us. ”

Hearing the words 600,000, Disco instinctively looked at the actress in the mirror.

The lady's makeup was incomplete, only powdered, making the whole face look pale and pale, and there was no eyebrows and eyes for the time being.

He had seen her in a video tape in the sound studio of the song and dance troupe.

Wearing a performance costume with large shoulder pads, bangs blown high, purple eyelids and red lips.

and the delicate appearance in front of them is like two people.
