After three and a half hours of bumpy ride, the car finally arrived in Ning City at around 11:30!
After getting off the bus, Zhou Yang carried his luggage, Li Youwei held Bao'er, and the family of three went straight to Xinhua Bookstore not far away.
When Zhou Yang's family of three came to Xinhua Bookstore, they happened to see Lao Xu locking the door, obviously getting ready to get off work!
"Old Xu!"
Xu Yongguang looked back when he heard the voice, saw Zhou Yang at a glance, and immediately greeted him with a smile.
"What do you want to do with your family?"
Although he heard Zhou Yang say that he was going to Ning City in a while last time, he didn't ask specifically what he was going to do, so he was a little surprised when he saw the state of the family.
"Haha, I'm going to Huaxian County to visit my parents!" Zhou Yang said.
Xu Yongguang also knew the situation of Zhou Yang's parents. After all, they had to conduct a political review of Zhou Yang's family situation before accepting him.
"Have you bought the ticket?"
Zhou Yang shook his head and said: "Not yet, but I heard that it is not easy to buy a ticket to Huaxian County, so I wanted to ask Brother Xu if there is any way!"
Lao Xu opened the door again and said, "Sit inside first and I'll give you a call to ask!"
"OK!"
Soon, Lao Xu’s phone calls were finished!
"A good news or a bad news, which one should you listen to first!"
Zhou Yang smiled and said, "It's better to hear the bad news first!"
"There is another train to Huaxian today, but it leaves at eight o'clock in the evening. If it arrives in Huaxian, it will be at least 12 o'clock in the evening!"
After hearing Lao Xu's words, Zhou Yang couldn't help but frown.
Twelve o'clock in the evening is indeed a bit late. What should they do when they arrive at the county seat?
The guesthouses were all closed at that time. Do they want their family to sleep on the streets?
"What about the good news?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"The good news is that the city is sending a batch of supplies to Hua County, and the team leader is my brother who grew up with me. I can arrange for you to take a ride, but..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that they are all big trucks and may not be as comfortable as trains!" Lao Xu said.
But Zhou Yang said with a smile: "It's good to have a car to ride in, no matter whether it's comfortable or not!"
"Since you don't mind it, I'll ask them to save a few seats for you!"
After saying that, Lao Xu returned to the phone again and started making calls.
A few minutes later, Lao Xu hung up the phone and said: "They will leave at one o'clock in the afternoon. Let's eat quickly. After dinner, I have to take you to the Public Security Bureau!"
"Why are you going to the Public Security Bureau?" Zhou Yang asked in confusion.
"Your parents' situation is special. You can't see it just by going there. You must go to the public security bureau to register!" Old Xu said.
"I know about this, but doesn't it say you can only go to the local county public security bureau to file a record?"
“Is it bigger, the city bureau or the county bureau?”
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Of course the city bureau is big!"
"That's it. Besides, I asked Lao Zhao. The place they want to go happens to pass by Dongquan Farm where your parents are. This way, you don't need to go to Huaxian County, which can save a lot of time. !”
"Well done, Lao Xu, thank you so much this time!" Zhou Yang said happily.
He specifically inquired before that Dongquan Farm is still thirty or forty kilometers away from the county seat of Huaxian County, and the train can only go to the county seat.
Therefore, even if Zhou Yang arrived in Huaxian, it would be troublesome to go to Dongfeng Farm.
Now the car can take them directly to Dongfeng Farm, which is definitely great news.
"If you really want to thank me, then quickly translate Director Yang's manuscripts. That guy doesn't dare to rush you, but he calls me every now and then, which makes me scared!" Old Xu said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I have the book and manuscript paper with me. I'll write whenever I have time. It won't delay anything!" Zhou Yang said.
"That's good!"
At this time, Zhou Yang opened the big backpack, took out a thick stack of manuscripts and several books, and placed them in front of Old Xu.
"These are the last two textbooks you sent last time. I have already translated them all!" Zhou Yang said.
Lao Xu immediately took the manuscript and said: "You are really a genius. It takes others less than half a year to translate a book. You are better off. You can translate six textbooks in less than a month. If you continue like this, the Compilation and Compilation Bureau will give you a license." I can’t afford the royalties!”
"Then I'll slow down a little bit in the future?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
"you dare!"
"Hahaha, you said that you don't want me to slow down, but you are also reluctant to spend money. You are really difficult to maintain!"
"Okay, stop being poor and go eat quickly!"
Then Lao Xu said again: "Finally, my sister-in-law and my little niece are here. Let's have a good meal today!"
However, the matter of eating was directly pushed away by Zhou Yang. The reason was simple: lack of time.
According to Lao Xu, the convoy will leave at one o'clock, and they will have to go to the Public Security Bureau to register later.
And Zhou Yang also wanted to buy something for his parents, and he was very tight on time!
So Zhou Yang immediately crossed out the matter of eating, saying that Lao Xu would make up for it when they came back.
Lao Xu also knew that Zhou Yang was telling the truth, so he didn't force it and took them to the city bureau.
Filing is not just as simple as leaving a foundation. First, Zhou Yang needs some written applications, and then comrades from the municipal bureau must review them and finally issue relevant certificates.
If we don't have a strong relationship, this thing can be done, but we can't guarantee the time. It's normal to delay it for three or two days.
But with Lao Xu’s help, all the procedures were completed in less than half an hour!
Afterwards, Zhou Yang successfully obtained the family visit registration certificate issued by the municipal bureau.
After all this hard work, it was already past 12:40, and there were only more than 20 minutes left before the team started.
Later, Zhou Yang's family of three, led by Lao Xu, went straight to the department store not far away.
After all, Ning City is a prefecture-level city, and the department stores here are very large. The area alone is several blocks larger than the supply and marketing cooperatives in Yunshan County.
But due to time constraints, Zhou Yang had no intention of hanging around and went straight to the counter selling ready-made clothes.
According to the figures of his parents in his memory, Zhou Yang chose two sets of clothes for each of them and bought a few pairs of shoes.
Li Youwei thoughtfully bought some underwear for her mother and also prepared some feminine products.
Then Zhou Yang brought him to the food area, where he brought some rice, flour, grains, oils, malted milk, biscuits and cakes.
Anyway, Lao Xu also said that what Lao Zhao and the others were driving was not a big Dongfeng truck. There was plenty of space on the truck, so it didn’t matter how much they wanted to pull.
Zhou Yang would naturally not miss such a good opportunity.
Otherwise, when he arrives at Dongquan Farm, even if he has money and tickets, he may not be able to buy what he wants. After all, it is dozens of kilometers away from the county seat!
After some crazy shopping, Zhou Yang finally left the department store with Lao Xu's stunned eyes!
At 1:30 in the afternoon, Zhou Yang and his family finally got on the bus bound for Dongquan Farm in Huaxian County!
Zhou Yang originally thought it was just a car, but when he arrived at the pick-up point, he discovered that the entire fleet consisted of more than 30 large trucks.
What shocked Zhou Yang was that all the vehicles were military trucks, and even the drivers were all active soldiers.
However, the leader was not a soldier, but Lao Xu's younger brother, Lao Zhao.
According to Lao Zhao's self-introduction, he is the office director of the Municipal Epidemic Prevention Bureau, and his mission this time is to transport a batch of epidemic prevention materials.
And their destination this time is not Huaxian, but Beimeng Banner to the north of Huaxian, but they are just passing through Huaxian.
Since Lao Xu brought them, Zhou Yang's family of three received good care.
Just like that, Zhou Yang went straight to Dongquan Farm with the convoy!
