Chapter 357 Arrival at the place and meet
In fact, the reason why he drove was mainly because it was convenient after arriving at the place.
You should know that there are no taxis or anything in this era.
Even if it is a bus, there are many places that cannot be reached. He can't walk anywhere!
So after thinking about it, it is more convenient to drive.
After coming out of the city, Li Jiayi drove northward, without navigation, but there were signs!
When he arrived outside the city, Li Jiayi turned on the air conditioner. Before he could finish the day, the car became warmer.
He was not worried about fuel consumption at all, and he was not worried about refueling. The oil in the space would never be used up in his lifetime.
As for whether the vehicle will break down on the road, don’t say that Gas 69 is not that delicate. Even if it breaks, it still has it in his space!
It's just a little bit of trouble.
Although Datong is not far from the imperial capital, Li Jiayi still drove it for two days before he arrived at the place.
There is no way, the road at this time is really not that easy to walk, especially the road from the imperial capital to Datong.
Because there are many mountainous areas, it is not enough to describe it as nine turns, especially when it goes uphill and downhill.
Of course, it is mainly because Li Jiayi doesn’t walk at night, and basically finds a place to rest when he gets in the dark.
In fact, he can enter the space, but he doesn't. After all, he is going out and is mainly about safety.
No matter what, he still arrived at the place, and the next step was to find the coal yard.
The coal yard where Lin Ling'er's parents are located is a special coal yard, which is different from other coal yards.
I asked a lot of people and found out, but I didn’t promise it, but I just asked to go there and ask again.
There was no way, Li Jiayi could only go over and take a look first. This is the benefit of having a car, otherwise he would have to walk over.
Because that place is not open to traffic, and it is particularly remote.
After driving for more than two hours, I finally arrived at the place, and it was around 11:00 in the morning.
"Hello! How can I get to Hongxing Coal Mine?" Seeing an old farmer, Li Jia stopped his car and got out of the car and asked.
The old farmer looked at Li Jiayi and asked, "What's the matter with you looking for Hongxing Coal Mine?"
"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment, not understanding what this old farmer meant.
He just asked about the way, and if you know, you say, if you don’t know, forget it, what is the situation of your scrutiny look.
"It's nothing. I came from the imperial capital to purchase a batch of coal." Li Jiayi still answered the old farmer's words.
"Oh! Come and buy coal! Come with me! I'll take you there." After the old farmer said that, he walked in front with his hands behind his back.
Li Jiayi shook her head speechlessly, but she still drove to follow her. The old farmer walked very slowly, so Li Jiayi could only follow her slowly.
Several times Li Jiayi wanted to call him into the car, but he didn't seem to have such a meaning, so he didn't shout.
About ten minutes later, I came to a gate. The gate was an iron gate, and there were four words above the gate: Hongxing Coal Mine.
There was a guard at the gate. Just as Li Jia was considering whether to park the car, he looked at the guard saluting the old farmer and shouted, "Hello, the mine manager."
"Mining Manager?" Li Jiayi looked at the old farmer in front of him in surprise.
Unexpectedly, this old man who looked ordinary and dressed like an old farmer turned out to be the mine manager of Hongxing Coal Mine.
The old man nodded, then pointed to Li Jiayi's jeep behind and went in directly.
After the old man entered, the guard signaled that Li Jiayi's car could enter.
Li Jiayi nodded and drove in the jeep.
Parking the jeep in front of a row of houses, Li Jiayi got out of the car and walked towards the house where the old man had just entered.
When he arrived at the door, Li Jiayi knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Li Jia pushed open the door and said to the old man, "Hello, the mine manager."
"Yeah! Sit."
"Thank you!"
After Li Jiayi sat down, the old man looked at him and asked, "Tell me! What is your purpose in coming here?"
"Uh! I'm here to buy coal." Li Jiayi scratched his head and said.
Hearing Li Jiayi say this, the old man said, "You are okay to say this to others, but it's nonsense to me."
Before Li Jiayi could speak, the mine manager continued, "The whole Datong, so many mines, probably it's remote here! If you don't go to so many convenient places, you will definitely not buy them in this corner. Coal is that simple."
"Uh! This..."
"Is there a letter of introduction?" the mine manager suddenly asked.
"Oh! Yes." Li Jia quickly took out the letter of introduction and handed it to the mine manager.
"Are you a buyer at the No. 1 Wool Miller in the Imperial Capital?"
"Yes, this is my work permit." Li Jia took out a work permit and handed it over.
The mine manager opened Li Jiayi's work permit and looked at him in surprise.
"Sorry, Director Li, I'm negligent." The old man quickly stood up and stretched out his hand to Li Jiayi and said.
"No, no."
"Director Li, let me briefly introduce my surname. My surname is Wu, you can call me Mine Director Wu."
"Hello, Mine Master Wu!"
"You are kind to Director Li."
Mine Manager Wu has to be polite! He, the mine manager, is also at the department level, because this is special here, otherwise he would not even be able to reach the department level.
But Li Jia was a young man and was already at the level of a department, and he was also the deputy director of the logistics department of such a large factory.
"Director Li, let's get straight to the point! Come to me, it's not as simple as purchasing, right?"
"It's true, I'm actually here to find someone."
Hearing Li Jiayi say this, Mine Manager Wu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll just say it! This place is so remote, how could you come here to purchase? Besides, your imperial capital does not need to come to Datong. ! ”
You should know that the imperial capital also has coal mines, and there are quite a few, at least it is more than enough to supply the imperial capital.
"There is no way, you always have to find an excuse, you know the current situation."
"Then I wonder who Director Li is looking for?"
"Lin Gucheng and his wife."
"Lin Gucheng?"
"Yes!"
Hearing Li Jiayi say this, Mine Director Wu quickly pulled open the drawer and took out a notebook from it and flipped through it.
Soon he put the notebook in and said, "Director Li, I'm really sorry, I can't let you see someone."
"Oh!"
"Director Li, although I am the mine manager, I cannot violate the principles. Besides, they are not under my control."
"Ah! This..."
That's right! This is not the largest mine manager. The mine manager only cares about production. As for the personnel, there must be a dedicated person responsible for management.
"Minister Wu, there is no other way?" Li Jiayi asked.
Hearing Li Jiayi say this, Mine Manager Wu stood up and walked to the door, opened the door left and right, and closed the door again.
He returned and said, "Let's do it. You drive the jeep out later and then come in again. I'll arrange a room for you to stay. During the lunch break, I call people over, but you only have half an hour." br>
"Minister Wu, this has no effect on you, right?" Li Jiayi asked.
"Don't worry, I'll ask someone for a few questions, and who can say what."
"Okay! Then thank Master Wu."
"You're welcome." Li Jiayi knew that Mine Director Wu was looking at his face and opened the back door, but he couldn't help but express it.
He quickly took out a universal bicycle ticket from his pocket and handed it over and said, "Master Wu, I think you will walk to and from get off work tomorrow. I have a universal bicycle ticket that I can't use, so I'll give it to you!" br>
Li Jiayi said this well! Universal bicycle tickets that are not available.
"Oh, this is not possible. This is too expensive. I can't accept it." Mine Director Wu said quickly.
Although he is a mine manager, to be honest, life is just that.
As for car delivery, don’t think about it. There are many trucks for coal pulling in the mine.
But no matter how many cars there are, it is still from the country, and he is just a manager.
"Minister Wu, it's just a bicycle ticket that you can't use. If you go back and buy a bicycle, it's convenient to go back and forth to work."
"This..."
"It's settled, I'll drive out." After saying that, Li Jiayi came out of the office.
After Li Jiayi went out, Mining Manager Wu picked up the bicycle ticket and looked at it, and was very confused.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
I don’t know whether to collect it or not. He doesn’t have a bicycle, but he only has one bicycle at home. If the child wants to use it, he rides his bicycle away. This makes him often go to the mine to work.
If you accept this ticket and buy a bicycle for your child, then all the problems will be solved.
Soon Li Jia drove a jeep outside and then returned to Mining Manager Wu's office.
"Let's go, I'll take you back."
Although I saw Li Jiayi carrying a rumbling schoolbag, Mine Manager Wu didn't say anything.
When he came outside, Mine Manager Wu took Li Jiayi to the innermost house and said, "You just wait here, I'll arrange for someone to bring them here."
"Okay, please trouble Mine Master Wu."
After Mine Manager Wu left, Li Jiayi looked at the house. It looked like a duty room.
Because there is a single bed inside, there are also a wash stand, wash basin, towel, etc.
Of course, there is also a table and a chair.
Li Jia glanced at his watch and it was already eleven:30, and it was almost time to get off work at this time.
Sure enough, at this moment, Li Jiayi saw someone walking outside.
Most of the people here are absent from work locally, not only those sent by others.
There are only a few people who come here elsewhere, and those who come here cannot go out.
At this moment, when Li Jia heard the knock on the door, he quickly stood up and opened the door.
"Hello! The mine manager asked me to bring people here." A young man said to Li Jiayi.
"Okay, thank you!"
Then the young man moved away and followed two people behind the young man.
Needless to say, these two people are Lin Ling'er's parents.
The two people nowadays are not as luxurious as before, and they are all dirty.
This is normal. It is impossible to work in a coal mine and be clean!
"Please say thank you to Mine Manager Wu for me." Li Jiayi said to the young men.
"Okay." After saying that, the young man left.
Li Jia hurriedly went up and pulled Lin Gucheng and his wife and said, "Come in quickly."
After the two of them came in, Li Jia quickly closed the door.
"Who are you?" Lin Gucheng asked in confusion.
Before Li Jiayi could answer, Lin Ling'er's mother Luo Guifen asked, "You are Li Jiayi, right?"
"Uh! Auntie, do you know me?"
You should know that although Li Jiayi gave Lin Ling'er's family something for so long, he had never met Lin Ling'er's parents.
Unexpectedly, Lin Ling'er's mother knew him completely.
"I have seen you several times from afar, so I recognize you." Luo Guifen said.
"So that's how it is!" Li Jiayi scratched his head.
"How did you find this place?" Luo Guifen asked.
You should know that contacting the outside world is prohibited here, and even if they can contact them, they will not contact the outside world because they do not want to implicate others.
"I asked someone to inquire about you, and I realized you are here."
"Look for someone to inquire?"
"Yes." Li Jia nodded.
"Do you know something happened in our family?"
"Yeah!"
Seeing Li Jia nodding and admitting, the couple looked at each other.
"I'll introduce it again. My name is Li Jiayi. I'm Ling'er's husband and your son-in-law."
"What! Ling'er married you?" Lin Gucheng asked in surprise.
"Yes!"
"What are you doing for fuss? It's a good thing that Ling'er can get married. At least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain."
Hearing his wife say this, Lin Gucheng sighed and said, "I know, Ling'er got married at the age of 18. Isn't it too early?"
"What's wrong with the age of eighteen? I've married you before I was eighteen."
"Uh! This..." Lin Gucheng wanted to say that it was different at that time, but he couldn't say it out.
Luo Guifen ignored Lin Gucheng, turned to look at Li Jiayi and asked, "Is Ling'er okay now?"
"Mother-in-law, please rest assured. Ling'er is pretty good now. Although our family is not a big family, at least we don't lack food or clothing."
"Uh! I forgot that you have always provided our meat." Luo Guifen said.
"What? He provided the meat we eat for so many years?" Lin Gucheng asked in surprise.
"Yes! Oh! I forgot, you haven't seen him."
"That father-in-law, I brought some food. Let's have a meal first and then chat later."
When Lin Gucheng heard the meal, his eyes lit up. You should know that he hadn't had a good meal for a long time.
There are foods in the coal mine, but if you want to eat well, don’t think about it. Don’t say that you eat well, it’s a luxury to eat well.
Li Jia quickly took out the lunch box from his schoolbag, and then took out two bottles of Moutai.
"Ensure you drink, you still have to work in the afternoon. You can't drink. I'll take it away and drink it secretly at night."
"Father-in-law, what are you doing here now?" Li Jiayi asked while opening the lunch box.
"I'll go down the well, your mother-in-law is shoveling coal outside."
"Ah! How heavy is it? Then can you bear it?"
"What should I do if I can't stand it! I still have to do it."
"Okay."
"By the way, who are there in your family?" Luo Guifen asked.
"My parents, there are two sisters on it."
"Then what do your parents do?" Luo Guifen asked.
. . . . . .
PS: I’m really sorry, my cousin came back from outside yesterday and went out to play and drank too much. I forgot to invite him for vacation.
