Seventy Little Heads

Province C is a province with a large population, and the railway station in the provincial capital is also quite large, at least for two children who have never seen other railway stations.While waiting for the train, the adults went to find a place to drink tea and chat. Goudan and Wang Xuan took the initiative to take the responsibility of keeping the luggage.The adults were embarrassed at first, and found that they really didn't want to go together, so they said they would bring them delicious food.

Looking at the flow of people coming and going, the two of them felt at a loss for the first time, as if they would be passively carried away in such a flow of people.

"As expected of a big city, I have never seen so many people walking around in such a big city, just like the shopping malls in the county town during the Chinese New Year."

Wang Xuan nodded in agreement, "And many people rarely patch their clothes." Not only that, but also lesbians wearing beautiful bright clothes and pointed heels, the style of clothes has never been seen in the village or even in the county.

I used to listen to women and comrades chatting, and they always said that the new daughter-in-law of someone's family is not decent when wearing rouge, the clothes she wears are too bright and ostentatious, and the husband's family should be stricter.

Wang Xuan took out the Wotou, and the two of them ate the pickles and looked at the crowd with wide eyes. Although Liu Yuan greeted people and took care of them, it was not easy for the two of them to eat and drink for nothing, which made them feel very uncomfortable. uneasy.Seeing a person dressed in a special way, the two heads came together and muttered in a low voice. At first glance, it was a clay doll who had never seen the world.

Goudan gathered all the large luggage left behind together, and then was alone with Wang Xuan. From time to time, he could still hear the sound of the train arriving at the station. The sound was not low. The two turned their heads to look, except The human head can't see anything.The curious Goudan stood on the bench and stretched his neck. Look, except for the roof, it is a solid wall.

"how?"

"I didn't see anything." The two were discouraged.

Apart from seeing pictures of trains in newspapers and books, to be honest, they have never seen a real train.The county has not yet built a railway, and it is only possible to take a train if you leave the province.

Goodan and Wang Xuan are young and physically strong, and their luggage is simple.When the train came into the station, it was crowded, and I didn't know how many times I stepped on my feet. The strange thing is that some people are carrying heavy burdens, and they don't understand why they have to resist so many things when they go out.

In the team, there were those who were a little older and not in good health, but they were squeezed here and there. If it weren't for the crowd, they would have fallen to the ground long ago.

Goudan and Wang Xuan just watched to help, helping here and there. At this time, people only care about moving forward, worrying that they won't be able to squeeze on the train.If anyone fell down, he would be buried soon, and he might be trampled on.It's not that the crowd is cold-blooded, but that the front has been pushed forward by the people behind, and the people in front have been led forward before they have time to stop.It is noisy again, even if someone shouts, people may not be able to hear it.

The group was really frightened. They didn't expect that after a few years, there would be so many people traveling by train. Most of them had a mix of station and seat tickets, and they probably squeezed in as soon as they could.

This time the team has a large number of people, and there is no special cadre ticket for business trips like in the past-sleeping berths.They also couldn't get on the bus in advance. After this time, many cadres regretted it in their hearts.

But no matter how upset I feel, my face is tight. Some people even lament that the economic development is getting better and better, and more people go out, which shows that the economy is still very good.Then the colleagues around agreed.

When they finally boarded the car, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.There are two cars on this train reserved for this group, everyone has a seat, and no other passengers squeeze in.The number of people is quite large, and each city and county elects a few people as representatives for this inspection, and the number of people in the entire province adds up to a lot.

Of course, Goudan and Wang Xuan also have seats. In fact, this time it is said to be an inspection, but it is not the first batch. In the later batches, some leading cadres will also bring their younger generations to go out to gain insights, so Goudan and Wang Xuan will meet in person. Tender others will not think too much.I thought it was the younger generation of leaders and parents who went to open their eyes, or it might be that they arranged jobs after they were born in technical secondary schools. Teenagers aged [-] or [-] work normally.What's more, the two are tall.

People from the same county sit together in a group, and there are people with all kinds of accents in the same carriage. Of course, the temperament and quality of each cadre in the same carriage can be seen at a glance.

Thanks to others, the carriage I was in was spacious. Wang Xuan and Goudan were very active in fetching water. There was a fixed time when people would push the cart past, and the two of them would fill the water bottle with water. Pour some.People on the luggage rack who are out of reach will stand up to help. They say that they are short-handed. Generally, when they receive help and kindness from others, their attitude will soften.

Goudan and Wang Xuan leaned over to listen to other people's speeches when they were free, and didn't chase them away if they noticed them. In their view, many of what they said was circulated in the system, and they thought Goudan and the two children had heard it to some extent. of.Are they all internal children?

The two just walked around here and there, writing down useful information, thinking that it might be useful someday.In the eyes of others, the news is just news, but the two don't think so.

Wang Xuan sometimes pretends to ask some questions casually, pretending to be joking or chatting, coupled with his harmless appearance, shy and innocent appearance of a junior.People are also happy to answer.It is not a great information for the cadres and their families inside the system, but it is very precious for the two village dolls.

They understood why Liu Yuan asked them to go with the expedition team. For the first time, they knew that the background was different, and why the resources and starting point were different.

Nowadays, the speed of trains cannot be compared with that of later generations, and it is sweltering summer, and many people who are not in good health are simply suffering when they go out.At noon, the tin train was scorched by the sun, and people sat inside, just like an oven, and the wind blowing in through the open window was hot and dry.It is better to have no wind than to have wind.

The weak body is sweat after layer, and you can't take a bath, so the smell in the carriage is not to mention heavy.I have a bad appetite, so I eat whatever I want for one meal a day, and the rest is drinking water non-stop.

Some people couldn't bear it, "Let's get a popsicle, or rice soup is also fine, how can you eat this dry thing, it will go rancid in less than half a day."

Wang Xuan made dry herbal tea for the county team that came together, which he prepared himself, and after drinking it, he felt refreshing from the inside out.In the end, when more people knew about it, Wang Xuan took out all the things he was going to go to for the summer heat in his bag, and put them there.Whoever uses it will take it, put a pinch of hot water in a porcelain jar and put it in it.

When drinking it, it feels cool from the mouth to the stomach. Wang Xuan explained to people that there is a little mint leaf in it, and the rest are some herbal tea ingredients that people in the mountains usually pick. Fragrance and a little sweetness remain.In fact, it is both herbal tea, and the ingredients he drinks are different from those of the villagers, because he knows that it is summer, and he specially prepares it for drinking on the road. alleviated.

Everyone is very friendly to the two children who will come to trouble. When they heard that they were going to open their eyes, they rushed to give them advice, suggesting where they should go, how to go, and paying attention to everything. up.Anyway, this has nothing to do with work, and does not involve the issue of confidentiality or non-confidentiality.

Only then did Goudan and Wang Xuan realize that not everyone in this investigation team will be there for the first time. Some people have been there several times, and it is also the southern area that has been opened up one after another. Regarding these economic investigation groups, what do they know? Certainly a lot.

Both of them listened carefully, and they even mentioned the prices and varieties of goods in the south occasionally, and said that some bold people bought goods from the south and brought them to the north to sell, making a lot of money at once.In fact, as local cadres, many people know these things. After all, they have to grasp the situation under the administration.All as topics to talk about.

It is impossible for them to know some important matters, but such a proposal that does not involve political affairs will be of great help to them.

For three days and three nights, many people couldn’t stand the torment. Although there is the heat-relieving tea prepared by Wang Xuan and some lozenges, physical fatigue is still unavoidable. The important thing is that they can’t rest well until they get off the train. At that time, almost everyone's feet were swollen up to the knees. This is due to sitting for a long time and the blood flow is not smooth.Can not lie down when sleeping caused.

After getting off the train, in addition to the swollen legs, I still felt shaking on the train for a short time. I felt the pit shaking when squatting and defecating, and felt the bed shaking when I lay down and rested.That's probably what tinnitus is like.

After about a day of rest and a good night's sleep in the hotel, everyone regained some energy.

Going out now is almost life-threatening. The inspection team has a special guest house to stay, and the next day they have to take a specially arranged sightseeing car to take them to the new area to visit. It is said that the itinerary is very full, and some areas cannot be seen casually. Across several development zones to investigate.That's why Liu Yuan told them to separate earlier.

Goudan and Wang Xuan bid farewell to the group, and made an appointment to gather here ten days later, and follow these adults to take the train back again.

In a blink of an eye, there were only two people left. Without those adults with positions, they were at ease. The good boy who pretended to be a dog for so long felt tired and flustered, and he would immediately return to his original state.Where is that polite, well-behaved and helpful student in front of me?

"It's better to be yourself, what's gentle, what's polite, what's obedient, is that me?" Goudan stretched out, tall, and the muscles of his whole body under the thin summer shirt are strong and smooth, full of strength, which is more powerful than on the train Feeling a foot taller.

"How else can it be otherwise? Uncle Liu said that adults like well-behaved and obedient children. You can see how much they like you on the train." Brother Goudan really wants to say something cute, which is really likable , plus the pretended cuteness, there is nothing adults don't like.

This can be regarded as a skill, anyway, Wang Xuan thinks that when he hates people, he is really the kind that will make people smoke.

"I can still feel the truth. After I get familiar with the process, we will come by ourselves, and we can go anywhere in the country."

"The bones are relaxed after sleeping, where shall we go first?" Wang Xuan was so excited that he wished he could go to the largest wholesale goods market right away.

"Don't worry, sort out this information."

"That's right. Listen to what they said. Do you think that if we get some things back and sell them, will we earn back the travel expenses?" Wang Xuan still feels sorry for the money spent, not to mention the travel expenses, just these days The food and lodging is really not a small amount.He and Brother Goudan have made some money over the years, and they are not willing to spend it like this.

"That's what I planned. How can I go back empty-handed." He made all the plans, and asked Wang Xuan to bring all the money with him before he came.

He is more sensitive than Wang Xuan in this aspect. In the past, how the two of them found people and exchanged them in the black market was decided by Goudan. Although Wang Xuan is also smart and capable, compared with Goudan, he is not very good at this aspect.Goudan always gives the best advice.

"Let's spend two days watching and familiarizing ourselves with it, and go to a lively place. Then we can touch it. Didn't those people say that there are some smugglers, and it's very cheap to sell in large quantities. If you're lucky, you can find something good. , maybe our house will come out this summer.”

When people are chatting, that is to say, the south is inspecting crimes and smuggling, and then lamenting the violence of these things. During the reform and opening up, bad things also came in.

Hearing Goudan's ears, he has other plans, and he intends to pay attention to these in his heart, a profitable business.It's really a lot of ghosts, and it hasn't changed since childhood.The so-called different people have different opinions, which is probably what they are talking about. People's sighs, in his eyes, are opportunities.

"I didn't say I wanted to be Lei Feng myself." Goudan didn't care about these things. "Besides, these things already exist. If I don't do them, people will still do them. We don't do any bad things, just take advantage of the North and South. Let’s earn some price difference.”

"It's a bit dangerous. I heard that it's considered buying and selling like this. I'm afraid people will suddenly check..." He slapped himself on the forehead as he said it was dangerous, "We have 'baby' pretending."

Because the older you are, the more you get in touch with the outside world, the more you know that the things you own are against the sky and cannot be tolerated by the world. Once they are discovered, it will be a bloody storm.In the past two years, they have seldom used "baby" frequently. Like others, they should resist the bag and the bag, and should bear the burden.I am worried that if I get used to using my baby, one day I will suddenly "change" out of habit in front of others, then I will play big.

"We're not stupid. If something can't be done, we won't do it. I'll be with you. It's okay."

Wang Xuan also said that under normal circumstances, what Brother Goudan wants to do is after careful consideration and investigation, and he often asks Liu Yuan for advice on these in the county.The two sat cross-legged on the bed in the guest house, sorting out all the news they had heard.

Get rid of the false and save the true, get rid of the difficult and save the easy.Possible and impossible, rumors and information obtained from newspapers and books are corroborated. If there are adults here, they will be surprised by their means of collecting information and their ability to organize and filter.
