There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, after breakfast, Jiang Xiaobai took Wang Xiaojun and Liu Aiguo and set off.

If you want to go to the county seat, you have to go to Shangma Township before you can get a car there. Jianhua Brigade is a full 30 miles away from Shangma Commune. This is not the farthest village from Shangma Commune.

Jiang Xiaobai and the other three set out at 8 a.m. and waited until after 10 a.m. before arriving at Shangma Commune. They walked for a full 2 ​​hours.

There were many people coming and going in the town, and the people sitting on the ox-carts and shouting looked arrogant, even more arrogant than the people who drove cars in later generations.

The green-painted supply and marketing cooperative is the only new house in the township, and it is also the busiest place, with many people coming and going.

At this time, there were so many people who wanted to work in the supply and marketing cooperative, who could have imagined that they would disappear without a trace in the next few decades.

Jiang Xiaobai and the others saw that there were many people under the sign of the bus stop in the village. They felt relieved and walked over slowly.

At this time, there are only one bus from the village to the county every day in the morning and one in the afternoon. However, when the bus comes at this time, it is not on time at all. If you miss it, you will have to wait until the afternoon.

After waiting for a while, the old bus came staggeringly with black smoke coming out. As soon as the door opened, people crowded towards the bus. Everyone was carrying large and small bags to go to the county town.

Traveling far away in later generations.

Only Jiang Xiaobai and the others were empty-handed, and the ticket sales lady even took a special look at Jiang Xiaobai and the others.

I grabbed a seat and sat down, and soon the bus started swaying away.

There was a smell of gasoline that penetrated into the car, but except for Jiang Xiaobai, no one else felt anything strange. Many people even liked the smell of gasoline.

"It's 2 cents per person, buy a ticket quickly." The ticket seller started selling tickets.

At this time, people earn less, but prices are also cheaper.

The bus was driving on a bumpy road, as if the bus could fall apart at any time, and the people in the bus felt like they were riding a roller coaster.

"Auntie, we are educated youths who went to the countryside to join the queue. We have never been to the county town. Please introduce us to us." Jiang Xiaobai saw the ticket seller next to the aunt who had sold out the tickets, so he walked over and asked with a smile.

"You guys know the truth about jumping in line. Let me tell you, you guys got on the bus empty-handed." The aunt looked like she suddenly understood. She had nothing to do anyway, so she started chatting with Jiang Xiaobai.

"Our Zhangxuan County is an old revolutionary area. During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, this was the base area of ​​our Red Army, right in the county..."

Jiang Xiaobai pretended to listen carefully, and interrupted from time to time to ask for things he needed. After asking his aunt, he found that there was indeed a glass factory in the county, but it was on the outskirts of the county, about 5 miles away from the county.

The distance is not too far.

After wandering around for 2 hours, at 12 noon, the bus finally drove into the county town.

The road conditions finally got better. Jiang Xiaobai turned to look at the scenery outside the car window. There were many people coming and going, and Jiang Xiaobai even saw a few bicycles.

The young man riding a Phoenix bicycle with 28 bars, his eyes almost flew to the sky, and his sultry look made others around him full of envy.

At this time, if there are not many people in the county who can afford to buy a bicycle for more than 100 yuan, there are definitely some. But there are not many people who can get a bicycle ticket.

None of Jiang Xiaobai and the other three were locals. Except for the day they came to jump in line, this was their second time here. After getting off the bus, Jiang Xiaobai did not rush to the county glass factory and took out the cornmeal pancakes he had brought with him when he came out in the morning.

Not to mention the money Jiang Xiaobai has, he still needs to buy sugar and glass bottles. He can't use it for the time being. Even if he can spend it at this time, there is no place to ask for your money.

It's okay if you have an acquaintance. There are privately opened restaurants at this time, but they don't have any signs. You won't be able to find them without an acquaintance to guide you.

The three of them had a sip and rested on the roadside for a while. Then they walked toward the county glass factory. Before they arrived at the county glass factory, they saw billowing black smoke coming from a tall chimney.

, Jiang Xiaobai knew that he had definitely found the right place now.

To say that firing glass is not a sophisticated technology, the main problem of firing glass is that it causes a lot of pollution. Of course, there is no such thing as environmental protection at this time.

When they arrived at the factory gate, the concierge came out before Jiang Xiaobai and the others could enter. He looked at Jiang Xiaobai and the others and asked, "What do you comrades do? What's the matter?"

"Uncle, what's your surname? We are from Shangma Commune, from the Jianhua Brigade." Jiang Xiaobai said, taking out the big front door he bought specially from his pocket, and handed it to the uncle.

"What's your surname? My surname is Wang. Just call me Lao Wangtou. You guys are from Shangma Commune. I've heard of it. Come in and talk about it. The weather is quite hot." The uncle took the cigarette handed over by Jiang Xiaobai and said.

Opened the location.

Jiang Xiaobai took Wang Xiaojun and Liu Aiguo into the concierge. Jiang Xiaobai casually put the cigarette in his hand on the concierge's table. The concierge's expression became even more kind.

He took out a few white porcelain jars, poured a glass of water for each of the three people, and asked with a smile: "What are you doing in our glass factory? The leaders are all off work at this time, and they have to wait until 2 p.m.

At work."

"Uncle Wang, that's it. We want to buy some glass bottles. Let's find the head of our sales department." Jiang Xiaobai took the water, thanked him and said.

"The sales department is on the second floor of the factory office. The section chief's surname is Song. You can go there after you go to work in the afternoon. Now you can rest here for a while. Let me tell you, the sales section chief Song is a very good person.

It's pretty good, not like that workshop..."

I don’t know if it’s just like this in normal times or because of the cigarette, but I feel like I know everything and want to talk about it.

Jiang Xiaobai is also willing to chat with the uncle and learn about the situation of the glass factory. There are more than 300 people in this county glass factory. It is the only glass factory in Zhangxuan County. Its main business is glass for doors and windows.

Of course, there are some gossips about the glass factory, and Jiang Xiaobai has kept them all in mind. For example, the factory director’s father was hospitalized some time ago, the factory beauty is having an affair with the director of the production workshop, and the most gossipy thing in the factory is the factory.

Who did it?

Of course, Jiang Xiaobai didn't believe the last point. He felt that the most gossipy person was the concierge, Old Man Wang.

"It's almost time, uncle Wang, let's go in and have a look?" Jiang Xiaobai interrupted Mr. Wang who was still not finished.

"Okay, it's time to go to work at this time. You guys go in and take a look." Old Man Wang looked at the smoke-yellow clock hanging on the wall. It was already 2:30 in the afternoon.
Chapter completed!
