When the car crossed a river embankment and passed by Qingshan Commune, it stopped at the station to collect passengers, Zhang Wenliang took the opportunity to get off the train and buy a few motion sickness pills, ate one with Zhang Juemin, and then restarted moving forward.

This way, you have to pass through four communes and cross two rivers to reach the county seat of Gufeng County, which is officially called Chengguan Town.

Not every county station is called Chengguan Town, but where there is Chengguan Town, it is basically the county government station, and the prosperity here is not comparable to ordinary towns.

It's a pity that Chen Fan just watched a section of the street scene of the county town in the car, and after the bus entered the station, Brother Meng shouted "It's time to get off the station."

After getting off the bus from the bus stations of the four communes halfway, he took Chen Fan and the three of them to the other side, sent him to the car of the local party committee, and asked the driver to take care of him.

Of course, he told Mr. Chen's "advanced deeds" again.

As soon as the driver heard that Mr. Chen was going to the prefectural health bureau to compile a first-aid manual, he immediately didn't even want a ticket, and when the time came, he drove away.

From the county seat to the prefectural party committee, it is about the same as from Nanhu to the county seat, and it takes about an hour. The difference is that there are two rivers between Nanhu and the county seat, but the county seat and the prefectural party committee are separated by a river.

The car rushed along the Yangtze River, and after more than half an hour, it crossed the Yangtze River by a ferry pulled by barge, and finally reached the boundary of the prefectural committee.

That is, the urban area of Yunhu.

Chen Fan looked at the dense steamers on the river, there were various types of passenger ships, as well as large and small cargo ships.

Some of the freighters are the most advanced diesel-powered iron-hulled ships, with mountains of various materials piled up in the cargo holds, slowly moving on the river, and some are old wooden-hulled sailboats, with sails erected one by one, and the sails are blown by the wind, carrying a small amount of cargo, watching the iron ships overtake themselves.

On the dock, there are still hundreds of ships docked on the shore, and almost every moment, there are ships entering and leaving the port, and the whistle has not stopped.

An important port on the Yangtze River, it really lives up to its name.

Fortunately, the cross-river ferry terminal and the busy freight and passenger terminals are not in the same place, but closer to the city.

Ten minutes later, the ferry docked, and the car continued to move forward, finally driving into the urban area of Yunhu.

Turning over the Yangtze River embankment and going down, Chen Fan saw Yunhu City in this era for the first time.

The road is lined with buildings, most of which are three or four storeys high, and occasionally you can see "high-rise buildings" of five or six storeys.

The telephone poles on the side of the road are so densely packed with wires that people with dense phobias can probably not see.

Crowds of people on foot or bicycles are bustling, and from time to time a jeep drives by, and the bustle is bustling.

When the car drove to a bustling intersection, the driver suddenly stopped the car, turned to Chen Fan and said, "Teacher Chen, you get off here, there is a bus stop in front, go there and take No. 11, you can go directly to the Municipal Health Bureau." ”

Chen Fan stood up in a daze, and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, master." ”

The driver grinned and waved his hand, "You're welcome, you come over to compile the book, and I'll give you a ride, which can be regarded as an indirect contribution." ”

Chen Fan smiled, pulled up Zhang Wenliang and Zhang Juemin, who were a little unable to find the direction, and got out of the car with a shake.

When they get out of the car, the driver closes the door and steps on the accelerator to drive forward.

A passenger in the back shouted, "Master, help stop at the door of the department store in front." ”

The driver didn't look back, "It's all under the station." You want to stop here, he wants to stop there, I have two cents of oil with one foot on the accelerator, you pay for it? ”

The passenger said weakly, "But ...... just now"

"What just now? What just now? Not just now! It's to get off at the station. ”

……

As soon as Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang got out of the car, they squatted on the side of the road and retched, attracting the attention of many people around them, and they immediately avoided them.

Chen Fan stood aside with his hands on his hips, but he didn't feel embarrassed, and when they almost vomited, he turned out a clay bottle from his bag and poured out two pills, "Na, this is a medicine that smooths the breath, it should be better if you eat it." ”

Zhang Wenliang took one and threw it into his mouth, and was just about to take the kettle to drink, when he suddenly felt shocked, "It's sweet and sour, it's quite delicious." ”

Then he looked at him, "There is such a good thing, why didn't you take it out just now?" ”

Zhang Juemin also ate one, and said while eating, "Well, there is hawthorn in it, which is very symptomatic." ”

Chen Fan shrugged his shoulders on the side, "You have been in the car just now, and you are still groggy after taking motion sickness medicine, and it is useless to take this medicine again." ”

Zhang Wenliang held his head and stood up, "Then I'd rather take this, I'm really dizzy after taking motion sickness medicine." ”

As he spoke, he put down his hand, looked left and right, and his face gradually became dull, "Wow, it's so lively, is this the local committee?" ”

Zhang Juemin also looked at it, but pretended to be calm, "Well, it's okay." It's just that the building is a little higher, and there are all brick houses, there are a little more people, and it looks very good, and there are more cars......"

Then he couldn't calm down, and his eyes chased after other people's bicycles, "There are a lot of bicycles." ”

Chen Fan wiped his face and looked left and right, "Let's settle down first, as long as you are still here, there are more opportunities to watch." ”

Zhang Wenliang nodded, turned around and asked, "Then now you are going to report directly to the Health Bureau?" ”

Zhang Juemin was already tidying up the clothes on his body, and he also wiped the folds at the corners of his clothes.

Chen Fan shook his head and said, "If you don't go today, you'll go tomorrow." ”

Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang were stunned for a moment, and looked at him together, "Why?" ”

Chen Fan, "It's already more than 4 o'clock, and there is still more than an hour to get off work, and when we look for it, maybe everyone will start ZZ learning, how can there be time to arrange us." ”

In recent years, many units will have an hour's study task after work, but ordinary workers don't need to be so frequent, mainly government cadres, and the Municipal Health Bureau must want it.

Zhang Juemin thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he asked, "Then where are we going now?" ”

Chen Fan, "Let's go shopping first." ”

Zhang Juemin and Zhang Wenliang were stunned again, "Shopping? ”

Chen Fan spread his hands and said with a smile, "People rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold, if you don't dress up and look good, people won't necessarily pay attention to us." ”

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, turned and walked forward, "Find a place to buy two clothes first, then find a guest house to stay for one night, and then go to the health bureau tomorrow clean and beautiful." ”

Zhang Juemin followed behind with his canvas bag, his eyes full of embarrassment, "I'm here with you, so you don't have to buy clothes, right?!" ”

Chen Fan nodded, "No, just change into clean clothes." ”

Zhang Wenliang was a little moved, "I want to buy it, but unfortunately I don't have a ticket." ”

Chen Fan, "It's okay, I have it here, if you don't have much, I can lend it to you." ”

Zhang Wenliang was curious, "Where did you get the cloth ticket?" Can we use our Nanhu cloth ticket here? ”

Chen Fan, "Try it, if it doesn't work, I still have 20 feet to save the ticket." ”

Zhang Wenliang was suddenly shocked, "The ticket from the provincial hall? Where did it come from? ”

Tickets also have a scope of use, generally on a county basis, issued by the local county in accordance with the plan, but if the local commune has excess unplanned materials, it can also issue its own ticket, but this kind of ticket can only be used locally.

The tickets issued by the Nanhu Commune itself can only be used in Nanhu, and the tickets of Gufeng County cannot be used by the prefectural committee, but the reverse can.

So the more high-level units issue tickets, the more valuable they are.

To this day, Zhang Wenliang has seen the highest-level tickets, which are only issued by Gufeng County, and more often than not, they are still the tickets issued by Nanhu Commune itself, and the tickets in the province? I don't dare to think about it!

Chen Fan didn't have this concept, but he thought it was normal, "Oh, it's the article published in Jiangnan Literature and Art last time, and the magazine sent a few tickets." ”

He explained casually, seeing that an old man looked very kind, he hurriedly took two steps forward and said politely, "Hello uncle, may I ask how to go to the department store?" ”

The uncle was also very enthusiastic, turned around and pointed to the intersection, "Not far." From here, you turn right, go two stops ahead, and across the road is the department store. ”

"Okay, thank you."

Chen Fan thanked him and looked back at Zhang Wenliang and the two, "Let's go shopping first, then find a guest house to settle down, and then go to dinner." ”

Zhang Juemin immediately said, "Don't you still have rice balls there, just find a guest house to borrow a pot to heat it up, why spend that unjust money." ”

Chen Fan didn't give up, he still wanted to go to the restaurant, so he said, "What if people don't borrow it?" ”

Zhang Juemin's face was full of disbelief, "If you don't just use the excuse of the pot, how can you not borrow it?" ”

Zhang Wenliang was a little moved, "Big brother, we haven't had a restaurant in the local government yet, why don't you try it?" ”

Zhang Juemin's eyes were horizontal, he didn't dare to discipline Teacher Chen, I didn't dare to discipline you?

He was about to speak, when Chen Fan said again, "Uh, we're out of tolerance this time, if we don't spend it, isn't that ......?!" ”

was only half of the words, but Zhang Juemin suddenly woke up, yes, he didn't spend his own money!

He immediately coughed dryly, "It's still better to be economical." ”

Chen Fan and Zhang Wenliang both thought that he still refused, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and then they heard him say, "Let's eat a meal today, and then wait for the rice balls to finish eating in the future, don't waste it too much." ”

Oh yes!

Chen Fan's footsteps immediately became brisk for three points, Zhang Wenliang also seemed to have strength, his head was no longer dizzy, his eyes were not dizzy, and he didn't even make trouble with his stomach that was overturning the river and the sea, so he quickly caught up and urged Chen Fan to go.

After walking forward for a while, Zhang Juemin raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and said breathlessly, "How far is it?" ”

Chen Fan looked forward, "It's almost there, there's still one stop to go." ”

Zhang Wenliang asked puzzledly, "How far is one stop?" ”

Zhang Juemin was also a little curious, "I know Yili Road, what is the unit of measurement of this 'station'?" How many miles is one stop? ”

Chen Fan pointed to the bus stop sign on the side of the road, "This is the bus stop, the bus stops here to pick up and drop off passengers, and then stops at the next stop, you can't stop in the middle, the distance between the two stations is one stop." ”

Zhang Wenliang and the two of them suddenly became enlightened, and they all talked about their long knowledge.

The three of them walked all the way forward, and the scenery on both sides seemed to be insufficient.

Chen Fan felt a little monotonous. This year is not like the later generations, almost all of the next to the roadside have been changed into stores, now it is not, there are stores, most of them are on the top of a certain unit of the store, such as the towel factory store, the hardware factory store, the supply and marketing cooperative, the agricultural company store、......, and then some units.

In addition, there are also many people on the side of the road, facing the road is the living room, passers-by turn their heads to look, you can see the furnishings in their homes at a glance.

However, although there is no prosperity of the later generations, but there is also no hustle and bustle of the later generations, this way past, there are not only the fireworks of the world, but also the impetuousness of the "commercial street", but there is a kind of stable life bland.

After walking one stop further, Chen Fan finally saw the signboard of "The Third Department Store of Yunhu City".
