I'm really just the village head

Liu Baye was an intermediate general of the Sichuan Army, but it turned out not to be the Kuomintang but a member of the Democratic League.

Liu Jiuwa, an old bachelor in her fifties, does not seem to be any different from an ordinary old farmer. As a result, she is a spy of the army!

Liu Chunlai didn't want to ask about specific matters.

It was completely dark.

In a small town on the edge of a national highway, three cars stopped and filled up with gas, and even the small petrol tanks in the car were filled, and then they stopped to the front with the lights on, and there were a few passing drivers. In front of the restaurant for dinner and rest.

Fortunately, Song Shiyuan helped Liu Chun to get a lot of gasoline tickets for them.

Otherwise, if their car fills up the fuel tank, it will be troublesome.

Lying down?

Not so much.

On both sides of the national highway, in many places there are private individuals who sell oil in various bottles. As for the quality of the oil, no one can guarantee.

Even the quality of the oil at the current state-owned gas station is not that good.

Private oil does not require a ticket, the price is high, and water may be added to it...

I just ate a meal in the restaurant, and there was no such thing as skyrocketing prices.

Not a black shop.

But just one word-expensive!

There are a few ordinary dishes, almost all meat dishes have more than one piece, and vegetarian dishes have to go up.

The only advantage is that rice does not cost money.

No money for boiling water.

After eating, the car stopped here for one night before continuing.

I drive during the day and find a place to rest at night.

Except for the toll booths with many people, Liu Jiuwa's obsession with each toll fee increases. She said that she was going back to build a toll booth on the road built by their brigade. Liu Chunlai was so angry that she wanted to get him straight from the car. Throwing it out, there was no robbery.

National Highway 318 leads to Guocheng.

Although there are a lot of conditions on this road, especially in the area from Hubei Province to Sichuan, the road is either climbing or emergency bay.

Before entering this area, the three cars found a guest house in Enshi, and took a rest for a night. Only when Liu Chunlai drove in front and Zhang Jianmin in the back to control the speed of Liu Qianshan's car.

Where the two provinces border are mountains.

The winding road up the mountain, you can't see the end at all, bend after bend.

The road is originally narrow, and the road hasn't been hardened. It's even more fatal to drive.

Along the way, there are constant clutching and braking, and it is not as easy to drive on a flat road.

In fact, it is not much better than the road ahead.

The 100-kilometer road caused Liu Chunlai to shiver involuntarily after getting out of the car.

It is said that the road of Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the sky.

I don’t know how painful the drivers were when the car’s performance was worse.

Fortunately, the road maintenance team filled in the big potholes.

"Finally, I have passed this terrible mountain road." Liu Chunlai sighed.

"It's much easier to walk than the 210 national highway. The 72 turns on the other side are killing people. When going up and down, there are all bends connected to each other. If you are not careful, the car will drive out of the roadbed and you can't pick it up again. ..."

By the time he entered Wanzhou, Liu Chunlai was exhausted. When he stopped the car and got off, he almost couldn't stand firmly.

Zhang Jianmin handed him a cigarette and said in a daze.

"In addition to railways, waterways are also safer than this. Cargo transportation in Sichuan is really not an option now."

Liu Chunlai thinks more about their future development.

To go out, more efforts must be made in the construction of the wharf.

To reach the railway, it will pass through Peng County, but that railway will take almost ten years to start construction, and it will be opened to traffic 15 years later.

Starting from Peng County, it takes three days to get to Rongcheng by car!

The reason why Liu Chunlai was willing to drive here was to investigate the traffic conditions on this road.

Although the road is much faster than water transportation, Liu Chunlai was still preparing when he was in the plains ahead. He went back to find Lu Hongtao and Xu Zhiqiang to expand the Pengxian transportation team.

Since entering the mountainous area in western Hubei province, this idea has been constantly dispelled.

Road transportation is not a last resort and will definitely not be his choice.

As a result, a problem appeared in the industrial layout in Peng County-product transportation.

Shancheng Railway Station!

Transshipment by railway must be from Shancheng Railway Station to the whole country.

The waterway to Hankou, from the Hankou Railway Station to the north and south has been opened.

You can even go directly to the Shanghai Stock Exchange by water.

Exports overseas can start from the shipping terminal in Shanghai...

On the side of the Shancheng Light Industry Bureau, if you don't have a lot of investment there, it is estimated that you want to use more train skins to transfer products to surrounding cities, which is a troublesome thing.

This road is too difficult to go.

Smaller cars are difficult to walk, let alone fully loaded cars.

Could it be that Zhang Jianmin did not join the transport team for this reason?

"You can all drive, why didn't you join the transportation team?" Liu Chunlai was curious.

There are definitely not many people who can drive this year.

"My dad used to be in a transportation team. We were less than ten years old. Several of us learned to drive... Later, we had a car accident and turned around on 72nd Road. The car was crashed and killed. Now the car is still at the foot of the mountain. I failed to take my dad's class..."

Zhang Jianmin didn't say much.

Liu Chunlai sighed.

This kind of thing exists in every era.

It’s not too much to be replaced at work. After waiting for a few more years, even people have worked so hard for more than ten years to get admitted to college. Anyone who wants to change the destiny of the whole family can be replaced by others...

"Take a rest today, leave early tomorrow, and you should be able to reach Peng County in the evening." Liu Chunlai couldn't talk to Zhang Jianmin anymore.

How many people who have been out in the early 1980s who have no stories?

Even without wine, the story can be told.

Early the next morning, the three vehicles set off again.

The same is a mountain road, with many bends and narrow roads, and the wrong car from time to time.

Fortunately, most of the roads are Jiefang cars, instead of the various long and wide trucks decades later. It is relatively easy to get the wrong car. Even Liu Qianshan, a novice driver, did not show up.

More than 200 kilometers of road, but let them walk longer.

Liu Chunlai, who had been driving for four consecutive days, was sore and his calf was completely swollen from sitting still for a long time.

It was not until the afternoon that I turned to Provincial Highway 204 from Qu County to Lushan County.

Along the national highway to Guocheng, from the 244 national highway northward, the journey will be dozens of kilometers far away.

When it was dark, I entered the county seat of Lushan County.

"Or, just rest in Lushan County for one night?" Liu Chunlai asked Zhang Jianmin and the others.

"Isn't it only 20 kilometers? It took just over an hour. Now there are no restaurants open here..." Ding Yajun suggested.

It's here now.

So, hit the road again.

But the car couldn't leave after long.

On the road where the headlights were shining, a pile of stones was blocked in the middle of the road!
