Power and Wealth - 1779
Morning.
provincial capital.
An old station in the suburbs.
There was only Dong Xuebin left, so he thought about the matter in his heart, took his luggage and walked into the station, found the ticket window and asked about the ticket.
“Is there a car to Jiaolin County?” Dong Xuebin said.
The conductor looked at him, “I just left, what time do you want?”
Dong Xuebin looked at his watch and said, “The nearest one, the sooner the better.”
The conductor said: “The last one is going to be noon too, there are few cars going there.”
“Noon?” Dong Xuebin was speechless, “So slow? Then I can’t sit here for four hours together? It’s only morning.”
The conductor replied unreasonably: “Then you go to the South Long-distance Station, and there are a lot of people going to the neighboring county of Jiao. Our buses basically go north.”
Dong Xuebin said: “About what time is noon?”
“It’s not necessarily between twelve o’clock and one o’clock. It depends on whether the driver will come back.” The conductor said.
At this moment, Dong Xuebin actually misses the traffic environment in the capital. Although there is a traffic jam in the capital, at least the roads extending in all directions are unblocked. There are not many traffic jams here, but there are not many cars. Strictly speaking, this feels more than a traffic jam. It made Dong Xuebin helpless. He was unfamiliar with this place of life, so he couldn’t stand foolishly with the station for a few hours, right? That’s too boring, as for taking a taxi? It would be strange if the taxi was willing to go there. Dong Xuebin couldn’t do anything here. He walked out of the ticket window and went to find an early stall outside, ate some food, and then looked left and looked right. Look, look like doing nothing.
“From Jiao Lin County!”
“Anyone else?”
“Go to the car in Jiaolin County!”
suddenly. Two people shouted from across the road.
Dong Xuebin was taken aback and looked sideways. This is a very small minibus. It is a little old, and the body is quite dirty. There are a few words on the body, the provincial capital-Jiaolin County. , Dong Xuebin sighed and said to his heart that this is not a car. Why will there be the next shift at noon? Dong Xuebin looked at the car for a short time and probably couldn’t drive it. Because there were not a few people in the car, I continued to eat the last few bites early, then checked out, and then dragged my luggage to the other side of the road. I asked the two of them.
“To Jiao Lin County?” Dong Xuebin said.
A black brawny man said: “Yes!”
Dong Xuebin said: “Then where do I buy a ticket?”
The strong man said, “Just buy it from me. One hundred copies.”
Dong Xuebin glanced at the money held in the hand of the big man. Only then did I know that this car is not a regular fixed-point car at the station, but their personal. It can also be called a “black car”, but it doesn’t matter if the fare is expensive, but it doesn’t matter. The bus at noon is strong, and listening to the conductor’s tone, the bus may not start on time at noon, so Dong Xuebin took out his wallet, turned over a hundred dollars and handed it over, and then dragged his luggage onto the bus.
After a while, there are already a few people in the car, and almost half of them are seated. Of course, there are fewer seats, and half of them are not many people.
Dong Xuebin prefers the back seat or the corner seat, so he chose the last row, stuffed his luggage, and sat in the innermost seat by the window.
“From Jiao Lin County!”
“I’m leaving now!”
“Is there anyone?”
Two people outside were still yelling.
Dong Xuebin didn’t listen anymore, closed his eyes with his shoulders, and continued to think about his own affairs. He has too many things to ponder now, the affairs of Li Guian and Zhang Dongfang, the current situation in Jiao Lin County, and the descriptions in the newspapers. Dong Xuebin felt that he needed a systematic and systematic sorting out of surnames in his tomb. This time he took office, he must be more organized. You must think clearly about what you want to do first and what you want to do on the second point. Yes, I can’t be as headless as before. Although Dong Xuebin is not such a well-organized person, he still works in the system for so many years. He always has to grow up and mature, otherwise it’s really for nothing. It’s been so many years.
One minute……
three minutes……
One after another, a few more people came up and filled the car.
Boom.
The seat next to him is heavy.
There was a young man who looked about the same age as Dong Xuebin, but he might be one or two years older than him. He looked very clever, thin and short.
Dong Xuebin glanced at him.
The man also looked at him and nodded with a smile.
People were polite with Dong Xuebin, and Dong Xuebin would naturally respond with courtesy, and smiled and nodded with him.
In the end, two or three people squeezed up when the car was about to start, but they didn’t take a seat. The driver was obviously prepared, and immediately took a few benches and placed them in the aisle of the car and sat down for them, although It’s a bit unsafe, but the black car is a profit. They don’t care about you and that, just give them money. Of course, these people did not charge them 100, but 50.
After a long while, there was no one anymore.
The brawny man who sold the tickets directly got on the bus.
Another thinner northerner, the person who just yelled for the ticket with him, got in the driver’s seat, and the car drove out as soon as the door was closed.
Wander around.
Bumpy.
There are various problems as soon as the car is driven.
Dong Xuebin also had a lot of hardship when he was a child. For children from poor families, if someone knows him, Dong Xuebin would be very face-saving, very particular, picky, and so on. He would definitely not make this kind of car, because he is a man. Face is very important, but if there is no one, Dong Xuebin will not worry about face or anything. It doesn’t matter if you are upset at all. Let’s make do with it. He is not like Fang Wenping and Xie Huilan. People who are spoiled as children can make do with everything without being involved in face problems.
The car is too broken.
Has been turbulent.
Soon after, a middle-aged woman couldn’t stand it anymore and complained, “Why the car is so bumpy? Can you drive it stably? I feel sick.”
An old man with motion sickness also said: “Yes, I can’t take it anymore.”
The brawny man sitting in front turned his head back and said, “I love to sit or not! This is the road! Just get on the highway in a while!”
The old man said angrily: “What does it mean to love to sit or not?”
The middle-aged woman had already taken a plastic bag and threw up.
The brawny man ignored the old man, but pinched his nose and disgusted the floor and said to the woman: “Don’t throw up in the car, throw the bag out later!”
Dong Xuebin also opened his eyes at this time, how did his heart speak?
The young man next to Dong Xuebin frowned and muttered, “What quality?”
It is also “loving to sit or not”, and a look of contempt. In the case of the elderly and women, this attitude is indeed too indifferent.
The other people in the car didn’t speak, it might be that it was nothing, or they might have been sitting in their black car and got used to it.
After a few minutes.
The minibus got on the high speed.
But not long after getting on the high speed, the problem came!
Dong Xuebin was still sleeping with his eyes closed, thinking about a series of things to do after taking office. The big man in the car, that is, the person in charge of ticket sales, stood up, clapped his hands loudly, and said to everyone: “Listen, everyone!” The car also stopped at this time and pulled over and stopped in the line.
“what?”
“How did you stop?”
Everyone murmured.
The big man said with his voice: “Our line actually doesn’t make money. It is very difficult to operate. It has to pass the highway and pay the highway toll. So if it is evenly distributed, a certain amount of highway toll will be charged to everyone. Everyone Ten yuan is not much, it is within the range that everyone can bear, and please understand us.”
The old man who had been topped before quit, “A hundred tickets are expensive enough, isn’t it all included? Why do you have to pay?”
The big man said with a stern face: “This is the rule here!”
The old man angrily said: “There is no reason at all! If I don’t pay!”
The big man glanced at him from the corner of his eye, “No? Then get out of the car! Go to the next high-speed exit and find the car by yourself! We don’t care!”
The old man stood up, “We have already handed in our tickets! Why should we get off?”
The big man said, “But you didn’t pay the high-speed fee, so what are we going to do with you?” There is a strong threat in the words. It is on the high-speed now, or halfway through, if you blast people down at this moment , How do people go? Go to the next exit? I don’t even know the year of the monkey! Moreover, after exiting the exit, it is not always possible to find a car to go to Jiao Lin County, so the big man and the driver both chose such a location. Obviously, they threatened them to pay. It seems that this is not the first time for them. It’s done.
Everyone complained.
“what!”
“Why pay?”
“You are not legal at all!”
The big man stared at everyone with confidence, “If you don’t pay? Okay, get off the car if you don’t! I see how you find a car in the wilderness!”
Arrogant!
And it didn’t hide it in the slightest!
The car suddenly became a little noisy, chirping.
The young man next to Dong Xuebin didn’t seem to expect to add an extra high-speed fare. Although ten yuan is not much, it is too disgusting.
The young man stood up, took out a work permit from his arms, and gave it to the big man, “I’m from the Jiao Neighboring County Party Committee and come to the provincial capital to do business. Give me a face, brother. Everyone is not rich, so don’t be embarrassed. Everyone.”
Dong Xuebin blinked, from Jiao County Committee?
The big man was taken aback for a moment, but he took a look at the certificate, but said, “Secretary Section of the County Party Committee Office? Deputy Chief? Su Yan?” After a pause, he obviously didn’t take the other party seriously. Those who knew the leaders of Jiaolin County said, “Let’s do it, your high-speed fare counts as mine, and I will give you face, others can’t, they have to pay it!” The secretarial department is really not a tough department.
