Siheyuan: The Era of Struggle

Chapter 129 Departure from the Prairie
He was going to the grassland today. Early in the morning, He Yuanchao did not rush to the factory after practicing boxing as usual. Instead, he went back to the house and simply arranged the house and tidied up two things. clothes in the bag.

Although this trip will only take a few days, if there is an accident or something, you have to make preparations in advance, otherwise you will be blinded when it comes to use.

As He Yuanchao put his clothes into his bag, he was thinking about what else he could use in the past few days when he went out.

After a lot of work, after finally putting half of the front door cigarette into the bag, He Yuanchao's luggage was finally packed.

After extinguishing the last fire in the stove, He Yuanchao put on the cotton coat issued by the factory. He couldn't bear to wear the military coat given by the old chief in the car.

He stood at the door and looked around the house. After seeing that nothing was left behind, he picked up his bag and left the house.

"Section Chief He, do you still have to go out during this Chinese New Year?"

Just as He Yuanchao was locking the door, a neighbor who was working in the yard in the morning saw the bag at his feet and asked casually out of curiosity.

"There is no other way. We have to go back to the factory's tolerance."

Hearing a neighbor talking to him, He Yuanchao, who locked the door, turned around, picked up his bag, and said to his neighbor with a smile.

"It's been a tough year this New Year. Come on, let's not talk about it anymore. I still have to go to work. Let's talk about it when Section Chief He comes back."

"Alright, see you later."

Looking at his neighbor who hurriedly pushed the cart out of the hospital after speaking, He Yuanchao didn't waste any more time. He hung his bag on the handlebars, kicked off the car's support, pushed his bicycle and followed his neighbor out of the yard.

The temperature in Kyoto today is not too low, probably around minus [-] degrees Celsius.

The flood peak is not too far away from here, nor too far north, and it is probably not much colder than here. He Yuanchao, who has never been to the grassland in his life, was guessing in his mind as he rode his bicycle to the steel rolling mill.

"Section Chief, when are we leaving?"

As soon as He Yuanchao entered his office, Li Jiefang, who followed him, couldn't wait to approach him and asked.

After putting the bag on the desk and giving Li Jiefang a sidelong look, He Yuanchao said angrily: "Why are you so anxious? You can't go to the factory office to get a letter of introduction first."

"There's no rush. Aren't you thinking that you can take advantage of the nice day to travel a little further?"

"Since you are so proactive, why don't you go to the transportation department now to see if the four trucks sent by the factory are ready?"

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Seeing Li Jiefang walking out of his office in a hurry, He Yuanchao stopped writing. He picked up the phone on the table and called Liang Weimin to report, and then went out to the factory office.

These days, it’s impossible to go out on business without a letter of introduction. If you don’t have a letter of introduction issued by the factory or superiors, especially when you go to work, stay in a hotel, and especially when you have to hand over meat to someone else, they probably won’t even give you a hair. of.

"As aid to Korea, you must be careful on the road."

"Don't worry, Director Xu, I will pull the meat back safely."

After picking up the letter of introduction from the factory office and greeting Xu Wenhe who escorted him out, He Yuanchao strode towards his office.

The matters concerning the security department were explained to the comprehensive management officer yesterday. The things to be done in the factory are now finished, and it is time to set off.

"The section chief is here."

"Senior."

"Chief He, please take care of our driver on this trip."

"Chief Liu, what are you talking about? This is my first time going to Hongfeng. I have to ask the drivers and masters to give me more guidance this time."

After carrying his bag to the parking area of ​​the factory, He Yuanchao nodded and greeted Corey's security personnel, while shaking hands and greeting the smiling Chief Liu of the Transportation Section.

After politely giving some instructions to He Yuanchao, Section Chief Liu saw that his driver and security personnel were ready, and joked to He Yuanchao: "Section Chief He, it's getting late, hurry up. Let's go, leave early and come back early, we'll be waiting for the meat you bring back in the factory."

"Come on, Chief Liu, just wait for the news of our victory with peace of mind."

"Okay, let's not talk about anything else. It's a good trip, Chief He." "Then I'll lend you some good words."

After joking and greeting Section Chief Liu, and seeing that he had nothing more to say, He Yuanchao smiled and nodded to him, then packed up his bags and got into the cab of the first truck.

"Master, when you are ready, let's set off, so that we can leave early and come back early."

"Okay, Section Chief He, sit down and we'll leave now."

After hearing He Yuanchao's words, the driver responded with a smile, then turned to look ahead and drove the truck slowly out of the steel rolling mill.

I originally thought that after leaving the city, the car would pick up speed, but I didn't expect that even after leaving the city, it would not be much faster than in the city.

At this speed, it was unclear whether we could reach Hongfeng today. Otherwise, we would have to stay overnight in Chengde. While looking at the speedometer in the car, He Yuanchao was mentally calculating when he could reach his destination. .

"Chief He, the road we are taking now is pretty good. If you wait and see again after Chengde, you won't be able to say that the road is bad."

Looking at the head of the security department of his factory, he frowned while looking at the speedometer, and the master driver smiled and explained.

He Yuanchao felt even more depressed when he heard that the road ahead was more difficult to walk.

Originally I thought it would only be a 400-kilometer journey, and even if it wasn't like four or five hours on the expressway in later generations, I could still get there in seven or eight hours.

Who would have thought that as soon as he left the city, reality would give him a hard blow. Come on, just bear with it.

"Come on, master, have a cigarette. Do you think we can get there tonight?"

After hearing what the driver said, He Yuanchao, who had no temper at all, took out a cigarette and handed one to the driver, then asked cheerfully.

The driver was not polite, took the cigarette and lit it, took a puff and then said with a smile: "Chief He, don't think you can get there today.

It's cold and the roads are slippery today. Let's not run too fast. It's too dangerous.

Besides, it's not an important matter this time, so there's no need for us to rush. "

As soon as the driver finished speaking, He Yuanchao thought about the same reason. Don't let anything happen because of the tiles. After all, the cars at this time were not as safe as later generations.

If the truck breaks down on the road because of a rush for time, it will be even more time-consuming in these wild mountains.

Thinking of this, He Yuanchao stopped urging the driver to take advantage of this stretch of road to go quickly. After taking a puff of cigarette, he happily chatted with the driver.

After hearing what he said, the driver felt relieved that He Yuanchao didn't mention the speed of the car again.

This is not an important task. There is no need for him to work so hard for it. After driving for so many years, safety is the most important thing. Everything else is bullshit.

"Chief He, if that doesn't work, just keep your eyes peeled and I'll call you when the car stops."

After chatting with He Yuanchao for a while, the driver said with a smile when he saw that the head of the security department was no longer interested in talking.

"Okay, I'll take a moment. If anything happens, call me again."

After listening to the driver's words, He Yuanchao, who was bored, just followed the flow.

After saying that, he took off his cotton coat and covered his head, then slowly became confused.

creak...

Just when He Yuanchao was half asleep, he suddenly felt his body sway, and then heard the harsh brakes of a car.

"what's the situation?"

He Yuanchao quickly touched the handle of the gun at his waist and asked the driver what happened with slightly squinted eyes.
