Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

The train arrived at the station at midnight.

Jiang Yu took Xue Li and his own luggage off the luggage rack, then slowly got off the bus with the others.

When you arrive at the station at this time, you will definitely have to find a way to spend the night, such as going to a guesthouse or something.

However, not everyone is willing to spend this money. There are many people who are not well off, and there are also many people who have to move to the countryside because they are not favored at home. These people are basically short of money.

Jiang Yu and Xue Li stood in the crowd. When they heard them say that they were going to spend the night in the train station, they immediately wanted to leave.

Although the guesthouse costs money, they have hot water supply. After sitting in the car for a whole day, people are sticky, and Jiang Yu wants to take a good bath now. Having escaped the hardships of the end of the world, of course he should enjoy himself.

Jiang Yu and Xue Li looked at each other without saying anything, then quietly walked around the other people and walked out of the train station.

The guesthouse was not far from the train station. When the two of them went there with their letters of introduction to check in, they found out that many people had already checked in, and now only the large dormitory bed and a few four-person rooms were left.

"Then let's take a bed in a four-person room." It's better than a large bunk bed. Xue Li took out the money and handed it over.

Jiang Yu also paid.

The staff quickly registered the two people's information, took out two keys and handed them over, "There is a bathroom at the end of the corridor, the one on the right is for women."

"Thank you." Xue Li took the key and gave one to Jiang Yu, and they went upstairs together.

As soon as they turned onto the stairs, Chen Jinghan and two male educated youth walked in from behind.

It was getting late, so Jiang Yu and Xue Li quickly took a bath and went to bed.

The next morning, they got up and started packing.

"Can we store our packages here temporarily? We want to go have breakfast." Xue Li asked the woman at the front desk, wondering if there was a package storage service in this era.

"I can't guarantee your safety." The woman answered without even raising her eyes, holding a bowl of corn porridge.

Jiang Yu pursed his lips, took out three fruit candies from the space and handed them over, "Please help us take a look, we will be back soon."

The woman's attitude suddenly changed. She took the candy with a smile on her face and stuffed it into her shirt pocket. "Okay, put it next to me and I'll watch it for you."

Xue Li blinked and followed Jiang Yu to put the things on the counter.

This is too realistic.

Jiang Yu pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Let's go. We have to hurry up. We have to report to the Youth League Office after dinner."

"Oh, okay." Xue Li followed immediately.

The state-owned restaurants in the city are doing good business. It seems that the economic development here should be quite good. People are willing to go out to eat only if they have extra money. In order to save money, poor people will definitely choose to cook at home.

"A cornmeal pancake and a bowl of salty tofu pudding." Xue Li saw the customers eating these by the door as he entered the restaurant. They looked especially delicious, so he ordered the same without hesitation.

"Tofu pudding is 3 cents, pancake is 3 cents plus two taels of food coupons." The waiter didn't even look up, took a sign and handed it over, and put the corresponding sign with the name of the dish Xue Li ordered into the small window next to it.

Xue Li took out the money and handed it over.

The waiter took the money, picked up the change and gave it to Xue Li, then shouted, "Next!"

"Three cornmeal pancakes and a bowl of salty tofu pudding." Jiang Yu said as he handed over the money.

"-6 cents plus 8 taels of food coupons. I'll take your cents and give you cents in change. Take the card." The waiter made the change quickly, "Come and get it when your number is called!"

Jiang Yu took the sign, found a seat with Xue Li, and sat down, waiting for the meal to start.

Not long after, Chen Jinghan and his new friend also walked in.

"Chen Jinghan, there are still seats here." Xue Li looked at the lobby and saw that there were no seats left, so he extended his hand and invited them to come over and share the table.

"Okay, let's order first." Chen Jinghan's eyes lit up when he saw her and he agreed immediately.

Jiang Yu held his chin up, looking back and forth between the two people. It seems that both sides have a good first impression of each other. If they are willing to interact, there may be a follow-up. It's really good! There are already signs just after going to the countryside. This melon can be cultivated~

After Chen Jinghan and the others sat down, before they started introducing each other, the waiter started calling Xue Li and Jiang Yu's numbers.

The two of them immediately stood up and went to serve breakfast.

Chen Jinghan opened her mouth, then closed it again, and watched Xue Li run away with a smile in her eyes.

A fair-skinned, scholar-like man next to him glanced at him and asked, "Are you interested?"

"Ouch." Another muscular man said in a strange voice, "You are incredible. You have just arrived in the countryside and you are already in love?"

"Stop talking nonsense, we just met on the train." Chen Jinghan hurriedly explained, and asked the two friends to be careful with their words so as not to be too frivolous and have a bad impact on others if they heard it.

"Tsk tsk tsk, we understand~" The scholar man said with a teasing look on his face, then adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at the muscular man, "Biaozi, you came here two days ago, how is it? Is the situation here okay?"

City C is located on the national border, connected to neighboring countries, and going abroad is just a matter of steps. Therefore, the trade here is passively developed, and the black market is rampant. For those who want to do business privately to make money, it is a paradise.

"It's really an eye-opener. Who would believe that when I came here, I brought two boxes of Erguotou, and I exchanged them for two automatic looms. The things have been shipped back. It's really easy to make money." The muscular man, whose full name is Fu Biao, is a handsome guy with a strong complexion. When he is happy, he is in high spirits and very eye-catching.

He clenched his right fist and pounded it on his left palm, sighing with emotion, "But don't overdo it. I bought two large items and was watched by people here. I dare not show up again for the time being."

"We should keep a low profile. Besides, we are here to work in the countryside, so we should be careful not to bring disaster to our family." The man with glasses frowned. Although this was what he meant, he came here with the determination to burn his boats and he must achieve some results.

Otherwise, he would accomplish nothing and return home in disgrace, where he would surely be criticized by his stepmother and her son.

Fu Biao and Chen Jinghan saw that he was frowning, and patted his shoulders to comfort him.

Jiang Yu and Xue Li came over with their breakfast, and the three of them stopped talking and introduced themselves to each other.

The five people went to the same place in the countryside, the Hongqi Commune Construction Brigade.

The scholar is called Xiong Lijin. He, Chen Jinghan and Fu Biao are all educated youth who went to the countryside from City B.

"Then why aren't you in our carriage?" Xue Su was puzzled. They all got on and off the train at the same place.

"Not everyone was in the same carriage. There were quite a few educated youth coming to the Northeast on that train, and they couldn't all fit into one carriage," Xiong Lijin explained with a smile.

Jiang Yu ate the cake with his eyes downcast and listened to them talk quietly.

The breakfast of the three male educated youths also came up quickly. Because they were in a hurry, no one said much and just concentrated on finishing their breakfast.

After the meal, Chen Jinghan and others accompanied Xue Lijiang Yu back to pick up the packages, and then rushed to the Youth League Office together.

The Youth League Office was not far from the municipal government. At this time, there were already quite a few people standing in the yard. Jiang Yu also saw Liang Liang and a few girls standing in the corner chatting.

At 7:, several military trucks drove in and several men in green uniforms got out and walked into the Youth League Office.

"These should be the cars that take the educated youth to the town." Fu Biao looked at the cars with great interest.

Jiang Yu and Xue Li didn't react much. They were just a few old-fashioned trucks with sheds on them. Nothing special.
