Chapter 43: Get out of the car.

After all, she still overestimated her appetite, Ruan Jiaojiao picked two small cakes in Taogou, and barely ate one and couldn't eat it.

Unscrewed the orange juice that had been opened by Xu Qiuwan and took a sip, diluting the sweetness in his mouth, and then put the extra small cake into the basket.

Ruan Jiaojiao glanced at her watch, there were still more than three hours to go before Hangzhou City.

Picking and buying a copy of "People's Literature" from Taogou to pass the time, Ruan Jiaojiao just looked at the magazine, drank juice, and her anxious mood slowly calmed down.

When people are immersed in one thing, time will pass very quickly.

In this era, the author who can publish his manuscript in the magazine "People's Literature", needless to say, the writing is needless to say, Ruan Jiaojiao looked at some of the short stories in it, and she actually saw some fun.

During this period, the train stopped at the station twice, and several passengers came up one after another, but none of them were in her interval.

"Comrade, I'm about to arrive in Hangzhou City, I'll help you carry your luggage."

The arrival of the conductor interrupted Ruan Jiaojiao, who was immersed in the world of the novel, and before she knew it, Hangzhou City was about to arrive.

"Okay, I'll just trouble Comrade Conductor with this one box."

Ruan Jiaojiao pointed to the suitcase under the small table, then stood up and began to pack her things.

In fact, there was nothing to pack, just put the juice in the bassinet, put the chain bag on the back, and finally put the magazine on the lid of the bassinet.

Ruan Jiaojiao carried a basket and followed the conductor carrying the suitcase to the junction of the train cars, and the scenery outside changed from endless farmland to scattered low bungalows.

The speed of the train should have slowed down, and at this time, the feeling of swaying and pushing back was particularly strong, and Ruan Jiaojiao had to grab the handrail on the side to make herself stand firm.

This kind of experience, such a taste, is really enough.

If she could, she really wouldn't want to take the train anymore......

When the train arrived at the station, the conductor walked down the platform quickly with the box, Ruan Jiaojiao carried the basket behind him, grabbed the handrail and carefully stepped on the hollow steps.

"Excuse me, is it Comrade Ruan Jiaojiao from Shanghai?"

As soon as she stood on the platform, a middle-aged man wearing a gray shirt and a small flat head walked up.

Ruan Jiaojiao nodded.

This should be the person Uncle Gu's old classmate found to pick him up.

"Hello Comrade Ruan, I am sent by Mayor He, you can call me Secretary Zhang. This is Comrade Ruan's luggage, just give it to me Comrade Conductor. ”

After Secretary Zhang's introduction, he took the suitcase from the conductor, and then asked Ruan Jiaojiao, "Comrade Ruan, are you going to the following commune now, or are you going to stay in Hangzhou City to rest?" ”

What a coincidence.

Another secretary Zhang?

"Don't rest, let's go now. However, I don't know what commune it is, only that it is Taohua Village in Hangzhou City. Peach Blossom Village...... Secretary Zhang, do you know? ”

Secretary Zhang frowned and muttered the name, feeling that this place was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember it at once.

Although Hangzhou City is not big, there are dozens of communes at the bottom, and there are many villages and brigades under the communes.

"Let's talk while walking, the driver is familiar with Hangzhou, and he knows it."

Ruan Jiaojiao responded with a "yes", said goodbye to the conductor, and walked out with "Secretary Zhang".

In Shanghai, the railway station is a VIP channel for employees, and when they come to Hangzhou, they are still a VIP channel.

There was a young station employee standing next to the passage, and when he saw Ruan Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, he was very enthusiastic and wanted to help her carry the basket.

Someone helps, why not?

Ruan Jiaojiao naturally handed over the basket and easily followed behind the two.

The railway station in Hangzhou is different from the architectural style of Shanghai, it belongs to the Chinese architecture, the eaves are warped, and it is very classical.

Compared with Shanghai, this station does not look big and is a little deserted, but it is also convenient for Ruan Jiaojiao.

They came out of the path next to the main entrance, and without going any further, they saw a car parked at the entrance.

The young man returned the basket to Ruan Jiaojiao, and was shyly about to ask her name, but was quietly separated by Secretary Zhang, who came back with the suitcase, and then pulled the young man to thank him.

Glimpsing Ruan Jiaojiao getting into the car, Secretary Zhang patted him on the shoulder to say goodbye, and then got into the car and drove away in the stunned eyes of the young man.

"Oh, Peach Blossom Village, it's under Taoyuan Commune. There are a lot of wild peaches in their mountains, and there seems to be a peach forest in Peach Blossom Village. ”

As soon as the driver said Taoyuan Commune, Secretary Zhang remembered it immediately.

Taoyuan Commune is one of the few well-developed communes in Hangzhou, and there are paper mills and brick factories in the commune, which he has accompanied Mayor He to inspect before.

For the sake of safety, Secretary Zhang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, asked again: "There is only such a peach blossom village in the entire Hangzhou City." ”

The driver was a native of Hangzhou, and he used to drive a minibus, going back and forth between various communes and urban areas, but later because of his stable driving and good skills, he was transferred to drive for the leaders.

Since he said so, it must be there, so Secretary Zhang asked the driver to drive to Peach Blossom Village.

Ruan Jiaojiao leaned on the back seat and closed her eyes to recuperate, and along the way, the driver and Secretary Zhang were very quiet and did not disturb her rest.

The old-fashioned car has no air conditioning, and the smell of gasoline comes from time to time in the car, which makes Ruan Jiaojiao, who is already uncomfortable, even more uncomfortable.

She closed her eyes and frowned, and finally opened her eyes as she could not bear it, ready to open the window for ventilation.

The windows on the car were hand-cranked and tight, and Ruan Jiaojiao had a lot of effort to open the windows.

With a slightly hot wind blowing into the back seat, she took a deep breath, finally much more comfortable.

The car drove more and more off, and after leaving the city, it slowly entered the mountain forest.

Because of the surrounding mountains and forests, the temperature of the outside air has also cooled, and occasionally the freshness of plants and trees and the scent of unknown flowers can be heard.

The mountains and forests are full of dirt and gravel roads, which are not smooth, but fortunately, the driver drives steadily and the speed is not fast, so it does not feel very bumpy.

After about half an hour's drive, the road in front of me widened, and slowly I could see the low bungalows again.

This...... It should be almost there, right?

"This is the Red Star Commune, and it's almost an hour away from Peach Blossom Village."

The driver suddenly opened his mouth to explain, so that Ruan Jiaojiao, who had been straightening up, leaned back again.

…… It's now half past four in the afternoon, and it's going to be an hour, or half past five, to get to the village.

She found Ji Huai'an and politely greeted the token, which would take half an hour during this period.

It would take another hour and a half to go back to the city and find a place to stay, why would it be eight o'clock!

"Secretary Zhang, may I ask if there is any place to stay in Hangzhou? Similar to the Peace Hotel or the Friendship Hotel. ”

"Hahaha, we don't have a hotel like that in Hangzhou, only a guest house. Comrade Ruan, are you going back to Hangzhou City to rest? There's a guest house right next to the train station, so I'll take you there later? ”
