Chapter 28: A trip to Hongchang City
Because Shigang Town is very remote, the farthest from the county, 45 kilometers, so there are only three shuttle buses from Shigang Town to Le'an County.
Half past six in the morning, half past twelve in the afternoon, and half past five in the afternoon!
It was eleven o'clock, Xiong Xu thought for a while that it was better to have a meal before going, so he walked to the small restaurant not far from the intersection to order food.
I ordered 2 dishes, 1 dry pot bullfrog, 1 garlic fried snail meat, and 2 bottles of beer.
Xiong Xu didn't drink much alcohol originally, but during the time he stayed at home, he drank almost every day, and he drank at meals, and he was about to get used to it.
According to Comrade Xiong Jingchun's words, that is, it is necessary to cultivate the amount of alcohol, which will be used in the future.
This will indeed be used, even if you don't be the secretary of the village party committee, don't be the boss, just be a small clerk, you will inevitably become a victim of wine culture one day in the future.
Therefore, Xiong Xu did not resist drinking, and he had to have two bottles of beer for dinner, and half a bowl of white at night.
"Brother, you're also eating."
While waiting for the food, a group of workers covered in lime walked into the small restaurant, and one of them was Xiong Xu's cousin Xiong Jiqing.
"Ah, I'm waiting for the bus, and I'll have a meal by the way."
Xiong Xu replied and asked, "Do you usually eat here?" ”
"No, our boss has a treat today." Xiong Jiqing said with a smile.
"Secretary Xiong is here, come, smoke a cigarette."
Said Cao Cao Cao arrived, Dong Guowei, the owner of the cement shop wearing a gold necklace, walked into the small restaurant with a leather bag, and when he saw Xiong Xu, he immediately came over and handed over a Huazi, and also handed one to Xiong Jiqing by the way.
"You're welcome." Xiong Xu took Huazi and put it in his mouth, and Xiong Jiqing took out the lighter to help light it.
"Secretary Xiong wants to eat together?" Dong Guowei watched Xiong Xu sit at a table alone.
"No need, I'll eat as much as I want, and something will happen later." Xiong Xu declined.
Dong Guowei didn't force it, patted Xiong Jiqing on the shoulder, and said, "Then you brothers can talk, I'll go over and order food first." ”
After speaking, Dong Guowei stepped aside, and Xiong Jiqing also sat opposite Xiong Xu.
Looking at Xiong Jiqing, who grew up behind his buttocks, was dressed in lime, and the clothes on his body were also tattered, and then looked at the boss Dong Guowei on the side, wearing brand-name clothes, leather shoes, leather bags, and gold necklaces, Xiong Xu couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"This life is not long, what are your plans for the future?" Xiong Xu asked, smoking a cigarette.
Hearing his brother's words, Xiong Jiqing's eyes suddenly became confused, scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "What else can I do, one day at a time." ”
Xiong Jiqing is a typical honest child, saying that it sounds good is honest, and saying that it is bad is that he has no ambitions, has no ideas, and has to get by.
However, the lack of ambition is not the reason for him, anyone with the same family background and the same living environment will be like this.
All roads lead to Rome, but there are people who can't get out of their towns in their lives.
If it weren't for Xiong Xu's study and admission to the outside and seeing new things outside, the current Xiong Jiqing would be him Xiong Xu.
"How much do you get paid now?" Xiong Xu asked.
“3200。” Xiong Jiqing replied honestly.
"Resign, follow my brother for a while, join the company if appropriate, or look at others." Xiong Xu decided to help his brother.
If you continue to be confused like this, the edges and corners that belong to young people will be smoothed out by society, and the edges and corners will be smoothed out, and this life will be like this.
It's not that the edges and corners are good, but that young people should have some edges and corners, ruthless when they should be ruthless, hard when they should be hard, and soft when they should be soft.
"Resign? My son and mom won't smoke me to death. Xiong Jiqing looked scared, shook his head again and again, and did not dare to resign.
"The dish is here."
At this time, the boss brought a dry pot of bullfrog and rice, and it is good to eat in the township, the price is cheap and the quantity is large.
"Think for yourself, call me when you've thought about it."
"I'm going to eat, you go find your one, if you want to eat with me, take the dishes and chopsticks yourself."
After Xiong Xu finished speaking, he ate with relish.
"You eat alone, I'll go find them." Xiong Jiqing got up and left to find his co-workers.
Let's chirp, chirp~
Xiong Xu eats very fragrantly, while eating, he chirps, although the mouth is very indecent, but it doesn't affect a person to eat, how comfortable to come.
After eating for about forty minutes, two dishes, two bottles of beer, eating and drinking, checkout, a total of 40 yuan, not to mention very cheap, very cheap.
The time soon came to half past twelve, and the shuttle bus arrived as scheduled, leaving for Le'an County on time at half past twelve.
An hour and a half later, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiong Xu got off at the Le'an County Bus Station and bought a passenger bus ticket for Hongchang at half past two.
Half an hour later, Xiong Xu got into the car, took a breath, and finally officially embarked on the road to Hongchang City.
It's still quite troublesome to go to Hongchang City.
If you have money in the future, you will have to buy a car!
Xiong Xu's idea of buying a car is even worse.
"Big guy fasten your seatbelts and let's go!"
As the conductor reminded passengers to wear seat belts, the passenger car quickly moved out of the stop and onto the road, but half of the passengers, few of them were wearing seat belts.....
Le'an County is 179 kilometers away from Hongchang City, take the highway, it takes 2 hours and 11 minutes, depart at half past two, and arrive at about 4:50 minutes.
Maybe it was because he drank wine at noon, Xiong Xu fell asleep watching the scenery in the car, and when he woke up, he found that he had arrived at the Hongchang City Passenger Bus Station.
Without luggage, Xiong Xu was very convenient, walked out of the passenger bus station with sleepiness, smoked a cigarette at the door, and recovered some spirits.
Xiong Xu took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Comrade Lin Yuanqing, asking: What are you doing?
It's almost evening, don't look for a construction company first, find Comrade Lin Yuanqing first.
Lin Yuanqing: [The hard-working workers are at work....]
After receiving a reply, Xiong Xu raised his hand to stop a taxi.
"Master, Education Bureau."
The bus station is quite far from the Education Bureau, 11 kilometers, and it took about 20 minutes to finally arrive at the entrance of the Education Bureau.
Hongchang City, as the capital of Jiangnan Province, the grade of Hongchang Education Bureau is not generally high, the building, with two words to describe, magnificent!
Xiong Xu sat by the steps at the door, waiting for half an hour, and waited until five o'clock, the time to get off work.
It may be that the Education Bureau is not working overtime today, and as soon as it was time to get off work, Xiong Xu saw a group of young men and beauties rushing out of the door in a hurry and riding a small electric donkey home.
And Xiong Xu continued to wait for three or four minutes, and finally saw a familiar figure, Lin Yuanqing.
Lin Yuanqing has a good face, exquisite facial features, a height of one meter six or seven, and a first-class figure, today she is wearing a suit and skirt, and flat shoes under her feet, exposing her ankles and a pair of white shiny long legs, every step is a temptation.
