This time, Luo Xuan and Lu Miao took the shuttle bus into the county town.

The number of passengers on the shuttle bus has obviously become much less; while the number of people walking along the road suddenly increased.

only,

The few sentences that occasionally drifted into the car window with a weak foreign accent showed that most of the people rushing along the way were not local residents of Rongwei County.

In this period,

Everyone is very thrifty. Many members of the production team have never been to a hairdressing service company.

Usually, everyone uses a pair of scissors and a comb to help each other cut hair in the yard.

Anyway, just cut it shorter. As for whether it looks good or not?

Not many people care about these things.

Being poor means being particular. Being poor means being particular. If you are too poor, you cannot be particular about it.

Especially when it comes to going out, in this period, it is normal for rural people to travel dozens or hundreds of miles a day.

so,

The county seat is 27 miles away from Hongxing Commune. In order to save a few cents, many people usually walk along the main highway to the county seat on their own legs.

When I entered the county town in the past, there were many people rushing along the highway.

It's just that this time I took the car out and saw at least ten times more people walking along the way than before.

It is conceivable that

Today, Rongwei County already accommodates an unknown number of migrant populations.

So many people came in all at once.

You can also guess how much pressure leaders at all levels in Rongwei County have endured from all aspects.

When the shuttle bus drove out of Hongxing Commune, less than 15 miles away, it encountered the first checkpoint.

The shuttle bus pulled over, and several checkpoint staff members immediately came up and asked all passengers on the bus to show their "Travel Certificates".

After Luo Xuan and Lu Miao showed their respective travel certificates to each other.

Luo Xuanman was puzzled and asked the staff: "You only checked a dozen people on the bus? There were hundreds of people walking on the road.

What’s the point of checking passengers like this to prevent irrelevant people from entering the county?”

That staff member originally didn't want to answer the passengers' questions.

But when he saw the outstanding temperament of Luo Xuan and Lu Miao, he knew that these two people were probably not simple people.

so,

The staff member also answered patiently: "We were arranged by our superiors to check the passengers on the shuttle bus. As for those people walking, they are not under our control to check the shuttle bus."

bake!

This answer is really powerful!

They were asked to inspect the shuttle bus, but they just checked the people on the bus?

Don’t care about other people at all?!

It's kind of interesting...

There was a young woman on the bus. Her travel certificate was issued by a commune in another county.

Moreover, the estimated destination stated on the certificate is not Rongwei County.

so,

The woman was eventually taken off the shuttle bus by the staff and went to the checkpoint for further investigation.

The shuttle bus creaked, swayed, and groaned all the way as it continued to drive toward Rongwei County.

Waiting for the shuttle bus to arrive and approaching Chengguan Commune in the county seat.

Another checkpoint appeared ahead.

The work style of the staff who got on the bus to inspect this time was obviously much more meticulous than that at the first inspection station.

The "Travel Certificate" is no longer very useful. The staff will also ask passengers one by one for their names, addresses, where they are from, and where they plan to go.

Even passengers, what are they going to do in the county? The staff will ask them in detail about this kind of thing.

In fact, on the travel certificate,

It has been written very clearly: What is the name of the person holding this certificate and how old is it?

Are you a member of which production team, or a certain Chengguan resident?

Everything is written clearly above.

Luo Xuan guessed: The reason why the staff asked the passengers to answer so many questions was mainly to distinguish whether the passenger was a local resident or not?

Then during the conversation.

The staff can also tell from the expression on the passenger's face whether he or she is panicked or calm.

This is used to determine the authenticity of the other party’s documents and the authenticity of the language.

but,

What’s very strange is that this time the staff member who got on the bus to inspect took Lu Miao’s and her own documents and just glanced at them.

Then he looked at the expressions on the faces of Luo Xuan and Lu Miao.

He politely handed the certificate back to himself.

It seems that relying on face to make a living is feasible in any era!

By the time the two arrived at the county seat, it was already approaching noon. Rongwei County is actually not far from Jiangnei City, about a hundred miles away.

The shuttle bus leaves at 1:00 p.m.

Seeing that it was still early, Luo Xuan took Lu Miao to the restaurant attached to the county guest house and had a sumptuous lunch.

Looking at the crowds of people inside the restaurant, the bustling customers.

Just as Lu Miao was about to sigh, she was stopped by Luo Xuan: "No matter what period of time, there are staff from the unit who need to go on business trips and need to come to Rongwei County for business."

Luo Xuan said: "What they receive is the remuneration of their own labor, the wages they have earned for their hard work.

We have no control over how people spend their money. There is no need to accuse them, Lu Miao, do you think this is the case?"

Lu Miao sighed: "Actually, I also know this truth, but sometimes, I can't help but feel a little... Oh, I won't talk about it anymore."

The two of them finished their meal with mixed emotions, and then strolled to the county bus station.

Just as they arrived at the bus station, Luo Xuan was about to go in and buy her a ticket.

At this moment, there was only a "crunch" sound, and a jeep stopped at the door of the bus station.

Subsequently,

The jeep driver jumped out of the car and walked towards Lu Miao with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Zhang, didn't I tell you not to let my dad send a car to pick me up?"

Lu Miao frowned and said, "It's just a three-hour bus ride, why do you have to go through so much trouble?"

The driver named Zhang reached out from Luo Xuan's hand and helped take Lu Miao's luggage and the gift he gave to Lu Gang.

While the driver was busy,

While explaining: "Actually, I'm not here to pick you up specifically.

Didn't you call your dad yesterday and tell him that you were going to take the shuttle bus back to the city today?

It just so happened that early this morning, several comrades in the city were going back to Rongwei County after a meeting.

So after seeing these comrades off, I calculated the time and came here to pick you up. Miaomiao, don't blame your father, I really didn't come here specifically to pick you up."

Said,

The driver put a lot of things in the trunk.

Then he took out a letter from his satchel in the cab.

Passed it to Luo Xuan: "This is Comrade Lu Gang's personal letter written to you. Comrade Luo Xuan, please open it now and read it."

Open it now and take a look?

Seeing Luo Xuan's confusion, the driver quickly explained: "Comrade Lu Gang said that he would have to see your receipt before he could rest assured."

Luo Xuan heard this,

The envelope was torn open on the spot, and inside the bulging envelope, there was only a thin piece of letterhead.

Because there is a large amount of bills and cash sandwiched in the middle, this letter looks so bulging from the outside.

Luo Xuan counted the food stamps and found that there were 100 kilograms of food stamps circulating in the province.

The cash was all 10 yuan bills. After counting, it was about 300 yuan.
