Siheyuan starts from a good life

A week later, after training all the technical staff, Jiang Yan packed up and prepared to leave the dormitory and take the train back to Sijiu City.

Carrying the two suitcases that he had packed, as soon as he went out, he saw Xu Damao carrying two suitcases that were almost twice as big as his own and were filled to the brim.

"Da Mao, you got a good harvest this time!"

Hearing Jiang Yan's teasing words, Xu Damao scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It's not only thanks to the boss that I have made some friends here in the past few years. But when they heard that I was going to accompany you back to Sijiu City, they gave me some local products."

After saying this, he looked at Jiang Yan's two boxes with some confusion.

This week, Xu Damao knew that there were many more people coming to see his boss than him, so why did the boss only have such a thing?

Seeing Xu Damao's eyes, Jiang Yan knew what this guy was thinking. So he opened his mouth and explained: "There are too many things to carry, so I divided some of them and left a few for the purpose."

Actually! Most of the things given to Jiang Yan by others were stored in the space by Jiang Yan. If it weren't for the fear of Xu Damao becoming suspicious, he wouldn't want to take any of these things with him. Traveling thousands of kilometers back and forth, taking these things on the train would be a pain.

Looking again at the dormitory where he had lived for three years, Jiang Yan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. However, he still turned around and left firmly.

"Gong Jiang, Damao." Jiang Yan and the others had just carried their things downstairs when they saw Guo Jianjun and driver Wei Xiaojun waiting for them downstairs.

When the two people saw that they were carrying so many things, they quickly came over and took them from their hands and put them in the trunk.

The car drove smoothly. Jiang Yan sat in the car and stared out the window. Wei Xiaojun seemed to understand Jiang Yan's thoughts and drove around the factory.

"Lao Guo, this doesn't seem to be the way to the train station." Looking at the scene outside the car window, Jiang Yan asked.

"Gong Jiang, it's like this. I received a call from the factory director before. There is a flight to Sijiucheng at noon today. The factory director has booked the tickets for you. You can give me the train tickets later and I will give them to him. Just retreat.”

"Ouch!" Xu Damao, who was sitting in the front, heard the conversation between Guo Jianjun and Jiang Yan behind him, and he jumped up from the passenger seat in excitement.

This is not exciting! That's going to take a plane.

On November 1949, 11, under the instigation of our party, employees of the airlines affiliated to the former Kuomintang government and Central Airlines launched an uprising in Hong Kong (known as the "Two Airlines Uprising" in history). 9 aircraft of the two airlines took the risk to fly back to the motherland that day. embrace. These 12 aircraft, together with the 12 small aircraft left by the Kuomintang on the mainland that were later restored by employees of the two airlines, formed the main body of the country's civil aviation fleet in the early days.

In the 50s, our country successively purchased Il-14 aircraft from the Soviet Union to undertake special aircraft and domestic passenger and cargo transportation tasks. At that time, the total number of large and small aircraft in the entire country was less than .

At that time, the annual passenger volume of my country's civil aviation was only more than 10,000. Flying was a legend for people at that time, and it was a luxury among luxuries. Otherwise, Xu Damao's reaction would not have been so great.

Bingcheng's airport is located in the western suburbs of Bingcheng. It is a dual-use airport for both military and civilian purposes.

After the jeep stopped, Guo Jianjun and the others not only took out Jiang Yan's luggage, but also took out two huge luggage from it.

Seeing these two people named Li, Jiang Yan asked Guo Jianjun: "Lao Guo! Why do you two want to go to Sijiu City with us?"

Guo Jianjun, who was carrying the box, smiled and said to Jiang Yan: "Gong Jiang, this is not because you are going back to Sijiu City. This box contains specialties to thank you. The factory director asked me to buy you souvenirs. You guys are so stupid." You came all the way to support us, we can't let you go back empty-handed, right? It's a little bit of our kindness, you must accept it, otherwise I won't be able to go back and explain to the leader."

"Gong Jiang, this army green box belongs to you, and the black box belongs to Xu Damao."

After Guo Jianjun said this, he took out two envelopes from the handbag he carried and handed them to Jiang Yan.

"Jiang Gong, this is a note given to you by the leader. The Forty-Nine Cities are also nervous now. Take these things back to subsidize them."

After saying this, he directly stuffed the two envelopes into the hands of Xu Damao and Jiang Yan respectively.

According to Jiang Yan's visual inspection, the thickness of the envelope in Jiang Yan's hand was at least twice that of Xu Damao's. It is estimated that the contents inside were also different.

Perhaps because it is a dual-use airport, the departure hall was quite empty. When Jiang Yan and the others arrived, there were already many people waiting there.

According to Jiang Yan's observation, some of the people in the terminal looked like scholars, and some looked like leaders.

Jiang Yan took Xu Damao to the registration desk with two letters of introduction.

"Hello, comrade, this is a letter of introduction between the two of us."

After Jiang Yan said this, he handed the letter of introduction to the staff behind the registration desk.

She took the letter of introduction handed over by Jiang Yan and looked at it.

"Comrade, please show me your work ID."

After hearing what the staff said, Jiang Yan and Xu Damao quickly handed over their work passes.

In the 50s and 70s, due to various reasons and relatively low population mobility, ID cards never appeared. From the 2s to the s, people basically relied on two things when traveling, namely a work permit or a letter of introduction. Sometimes, you need both. Because in those days, judging a person's quality largely depended on his work permit.

To a certain extent, the work permit plays a part of the role of the identity card.

The airport registration staff took the two work certificates and letters of introduction handed over by Jiang Yan and compared them, then looked through the record information. After the three were relatively correct, they issued two passenger tickets and two tickets to Jiang Yan and Xu Damao. postcard. He also instructed them that in addition to the small bags they carry with them, all other boxes should be delivered to the designated location. Staff will arrange to collect these boxes when the time comes, and they can pick them up at the designated location when they get off the plane.

"Boss, will they forget to pack our suitcases?" Xu Damao asked Jiang Yan in a low voice on the way to deliver the suitcases.

"Don't worry you won't throw it away."

At this time, Jiang Yanzheng was holding the ticket and postcard with a curious face, and answered Xu Damao casually.

When he came to the boarding hall before, Jiang Yan was curious to know what an airplane ticket in this era looked like.

Only after I actually held it in my hand did I realize that the so-called airplane tickets in this era were all written by hand.

The name, flight location, flight number, flight date, and fare are written on it by hand.

But the ticket price is really expensive. The flight ticket from Bingcheng to Sijiu City costs more than 100 yuan, which is basically equivalent to Jiang Yan’s salary for this month. Fortunately, the flight ticket is 663 yuan. He had already paid, and if Jiang Yan had to pay for it himself, he would rather take the train.

And it takes about six hours by plane from Bingcheng to Sijiucheng. Unlike later generations of planes, it basically takes two or three hours to reach Sijiu City.

It is relieved to think that the current national passenger aircraft is not a jet aircraft of later generations but a piston transport aircraft.

Slow down, just slow down! I am not in a hurry either.
