The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 177: The Hong Kong Tide

When Jiang Cheng returned home, he hid in the woods next to Qingshan Lake and changed his clothes before leaving.

When I tried it in the lake, I didn't take off my clothes before going into the water. The main reason was that I was afraid of seeing someone coming and it would be too embarrassing to be naked.

After taking the bus home, the wet clothes were naturally handed over to Zhou Lingying for cleaning. Zhou Lingying did not ask how Jiang Cheng got his clothes wet. When a man goes out, he must be going to do something. As a woman, you just need to take care of the family.

Moreover, what Zhou Lingying cooked at home every day and how much money she spent. Jiang Cheng also never calculated with her. This woman was the master of the house, no matter whether Zhou Lingying could live or not. At least the neighbors in the yard envied her. Unlike the men in their family, they had to tell them where the money was spent when they asked for it.

Jiang Cheng is leaving tomorrow morning, and Zhou Lingying has to wash a lot of clothes for him.

Jiang Cheng is leaving tomorrow, and Zhou Lingying is also planning to go back to the Youth Corps tomorrow. She misses her friends in the Youth Corps, wants to take pictures of them, and wants to show them the pocket watch Jiang Cheng gave her.

Jiang Cheng would leave his camera at home, so Zhou Lingying could take pictures when she wanted. A roll of ordinary film could only take twelve pictures, and the cost was nearly two yuan.

It seems that a photo only costs 20 cents, but the educated youth in the countryside only earned a few cents a day. The income of an educated youth in a day might be just to take two ordinary photos.

September 12th is one day away from the salary payment. Jiang Cheng can actually receive two months' salary this month, the salary from the bus station in August and the salary from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative here.

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Cheng could only receive his salary from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Even if he worked at the bus station for more than ten days, he would only receive a full month's salary. However, he also received another month's salary from the bus station, which was promised by the stationmaster Xu.

In fact, it can be seen that in this era, if the leaders of the unit do not investigate, Jiang Cheng can receive a salary whether he works in the unit or not. Especially in this era of poor information, it is very easy to deceive superiors and subordinates.

Jiang Cheng can actually receive his salary in advance because of his special position, but he has to apply for it. After all, the finance department has arranged a unified time for payment, and receiving it in advance will increase the workload of the finance department.

Jiang Cheng did not go to collect his salary. Instead, he went to the Third Transport Team of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative early in the morning, took his car keys, found his car and left.

The car drove back home first to take away the clothes before setting off.

This time the route really doesn't require any detours, so we can go to the reclamation farm.

~~
September 14th, noon, suburbs of Guangzhou.

Changcheng is more than 800 kilometers away from here. Jiang Cheng arrived there in two and a half days, and also visited the reclamation farm in Fuzhou on the way.

This time I mainly bought a lot of chicken and duck eggs, and even took away a lot of preserved eggs, and the same was true for poultry.

As for pigs, they can't be available every time Jiang Cheng comes. After all, it's already mid-September, and piglets are no longer raised, so there won't be many pigs to sell later.

However, with Jiang Cheng's ability to handle goods, Director Hou plans to organize a big team to do it next year. Another thing is to wait for another month, when the new rice harvest is counted, and let Jiang Cheng come again. As long as Jiang Cheng can find a way to leave the reclamation farm without being checked, the rice yield of their reclamation farm this autumn will be "not high".

Jiang Cheng was going to drive through Guangzhou to pick up goods at Guangzhou Port outside the city. But when he arrived in the suburbs, he could see many people walking in one direction at noon.

People in other places usually rest at home during this time. Especially in Guangzhou, Jiang Cheng felt like he was back to the heat of a month ago.

People on the street were dressed coolly. Men were wearing short-sleeved shirts or vests, and most of their pants were shorts. Women were more conservative, wearing long pants. But Jiang Cheng found that women's tops were basically blue or black.

"Comrade, where are you going?" Jiang Cheng asked passers-by in the car.

"Go swimming in the reservoir," replied the person being asked.

"Are you all going to the reservoir to swim?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously. Don't people here take a break at noon and treat swimming as a leisure hobby?

When asked this question, several people on the roadside nodded and said they were going swimming.

It would be fine if the men went, but the key point is that they saw a lot of women along the way.

"Comrade, get in the car and take me to the reservoir." Jiang Cheng called curiously.

The people next to the car climbed into the car without hesitation when they heard the call. Jiang Cheng asked them to get in the car, but he didn't ask them to sit in the driver's seat, but to sit in the back of the car.

The car was moving very slowly, and Jiang Cheng was talking to the people in the back of the car with the window open. Along the way, people who were going the same way saw a car and could take a ride, so they all climbed on. There were both men and women, and soon, there were 20 to 30 people in the back of the car, with men and women on each side.

Until the end, there were seven or eight people hanging outside the rear carriage of the car, but it was still no match for the Indian team.

After driving for more than ten minutes, Jiang Cheng finally arrived at the reservoir. Most of the people on the road came to the reservoir to swim. When he arrived at the reservoir, he had to go through a small path to swim in the reservoir. Jiang Cheng simply parked the car on the side of the road to see how the women here were swimming in the reservoir.

Women in this era were very conservative. I don’t know how women swam in reservoirs. At least women in this era didn’t have bras.

Zhou Lingying used long strips of cotton cloth to cover her face, and it was very troublesome to wrap and unwrap it every day.

Following the group through the path, they came to the downstream of the reservoir. They found that there were at least a few hundred people swimming here, with separate areas for men and women, a few hundred meters apart. From a distance, Jiang Cheng could see that the women did not take off their clothes when they entered the water.

Damn it, in fact, if a woman doesn't take off her clothes and gets wet, her body will be vaguely visible. It's more tempting than being naked, but it's a pity that Jiang Cheng doesn't have the ability to dive over.

Jiang Cheng looked at the reservoir for a while and found that the people who came to swim in the reservoir were not just people who liked swimming. Instead, they were all busy practicing. Few people were idle in the water and chatting with people around them. If they did chat, they would talk about swimming skills, how to save effort, and how to swim faster.

Jiang Cheng was not a fool, and he quickly understood that those who came to swim in the reservoir here were all training their swimming skills. They were probably preparing to leave here one day and find a suitable opportunity and place to swim to the Xiangjiang River.

Jiang Cheng chose to come here for the same purpose, but also different.

Those who planned to go to Hong Kong did not plan to come back easily after they went there. Although Jiang Cheng also planned to go to Hong Kong, he wanted to use his spatial ability to try whether he could travel freely between Hong Kong and China.

Jiang Cheng couldn't believe it. There were so many people swimming in the Xiangjiang River with their shirts off and wearing shorts. Once he activated his cheat, even if he was seen by others, they couldn't catch up with him by boat.

But when using cheats in front of people, unless you have no other choice, it is best to do it secretly at night.
