Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 290, Take the plane

A week later, after training all the technicians, Jiang Yan tidied up and was about to leave the dormitory and take the train back to Sijiu City.

Carrying the two suitcases that he had packed, as soon as he went out, he saw Xu Damao carrying two suitcases that were almost twice as big as his own and were stuffed to the brim.

"Da Mao, you have gained a lot this time!"

Hearing Jiang Yan's teasing words, Xu Damao scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It's thanks to the boss. I have made some friends here in the past few years. It's not that they gave some souvenirs when they heard that I was going to accompany you back to Sijiu City."

After saying this, he looked at Jiang Yan's two boxes with some doubts.

This week, Xu Damao knew that there were many more people who came to see his boss than himself, so why did this boss only have such a thing.

Seeing Xu Damao's gaze, Jiang Yan knew what this guy was thinking.So he opened his mouth to explain: "There are too many things to carry, so I will divide some, and keep a little for a reason."

Actually!Most of the things that others gave to Jiang Yan were put into the space by Jiang Yan. If it wasn't for the fear of Xu Damao's suspicion, he wouldn't want to bring these things with him. He would go back and forth for thousands of kilometers, and taking these things on the train would be a crime.

Taking another look at the dormitory where he lived for three years, Jiang Yan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.But he still firmly turned and left.

"Jiang Gong, Da Mao." Jiang Yan and the two of them had just carried their things downstairs when they saw Guo Jianjun and the driver Wei Xiaojun waiting for them downstairs.

Seeing that the two of them had carried so many things, the two hurried over and took them from their hands and put them in the trunk.

The car drove very steadily, Jiang Yan sat in the car and looked out of the car window, Wei Xiaojun seemed to understand Jiang Yan's thoughts, and drove the car around the factory.

"Old Guo, this doesn't seem to be the way to the train station." Looking at the scene outside the car window, Jiang Yan asked.

"Jiang Gong, it's like this. I received a call from the factory manager before. There was a plane to Sijiu City at noon today. The factory manager booked the tickets for you. You can give me the train ticket in a while, and I will give it to him. Just go back."

"Ouch!" Xu Damao, who was sitting in front, heard the conversation between Guo Jianjun and Jiang Yan behind him, and jumped up from the co-pilot in excitement.

This is not exciting!That's going to fly.

On November 1949, 11, under the instigation of our party, the employees of the airlines affiliated to the former KMT government and the Central Airlines revolted in Hong Kong (known in history as the "Uprising of the Two Airlines"), and 9 planes of the two airlines took the risk to fly back to the motherland that day. embrace.These 12 planes, together with the 12 small planes left by the Kuomintang on the mainland, which were later repaired by employees of the two airlines, constituted the main body of the national civil aviation fleet in the early days.

In the 50s, my country successively purchased Il-14 aircraft from the Soviet Union to undertake special planes and domestic passenger and cargo tasks.At that time, the size of the entire country added up to less than one hundred aircraft.

At that time, the annual passenger volume of my country's civil aviation was only more than 1 person-times. For people at that time, flying by plane was a legend, a luxury among luxury, otherwise Xu Damao's reaction would not have been so great.

The airport of Bingcheng is located in the western suburbs of Bingcheng. It is a military and civilian airport.

After the jeep stopped, Guo Jianjun and the others took out Jiang Yan's luggage and two huge luggage from it.

Seeing the two surnames Li, Jiang Yan asked Guo Jianjun: "Old Guo! Why do you two want to go to Sijiu City with us?"

Guo Jianjun, who was carrying the box, smiled and said to Jiang Yan: "Jiang Gong, it's not that you are going back to Sijiu City, this box is specially to thank you, the factory manager ordered me to buy you souvenirs, you big Come all the way to support, we can't let you go back empty-handed, no, it's our kindness, you must accept it, otherwise I won't be able to go back and explain to the leader."

"Jiang Gong, the army green box is yours, and the black box is Xu Damao's."

After Guo Jianjun finished speaking, he took out two envelopes from his handbag and handed them to Jiang Yan.

"Jiang Gong, this is a little bill from the leader. These four and nine cities are also nervous now. Take these things back and subsidize them."

After he finished speaking, he stuffed the two envelopes into the hands of Xu Damao and Jiang Yan respectively.

According to Jiang Yan's visual inspection, the thickness of the envelope in Jiang Yan's hand is at least twice that of Xu Damao's, so it is estimated that the contents inside are also different.

It may be because it is a military-civilian dual-use airport, and the waiting hall is quite leaky. When Jiang Yan and the others arrived, there were already many people waiting there.

According to Jiang Yan's observation, some of the people in the terminal are like scholars, and some of them are like leaders.

Jiang Yan brought Xu Damao to the registration desk with two letters of introduction.

"Hello, comrade, this is a letter of introduction from the two of us."

After Jiang Yan said this, he handed the letter of introduction to the staff behind the registration desk.

She took a look at the letter of introduction Jiang Yan handed over.

"Comrade, please show your work permits."

Hearing what the staff said, Jiang Yan and Xu Damao quickly handed over their work permits.

In the 60s and 50s, due to various reasons and the relatively low population flow, ID cards never appeared.From the 70s to the 2s, people basically relied on two things for travel, namely a work permit or a letter of introduction.Sometimes, you need both.Because in that era, judging a person's quality was largely based on his work permit.

To some extent, the work permit has a part of the role of the identity card.

The airport registration staff took over the two work permits Jiang Yan handed over and compared them with the letter of introduction, and then looked through the recorded information. After the three were relatively correct, they issued two tickets and two tickets to Jiang Yan and Xu Damao. postcard.He also instructed them to send all the boxes to the designated location except for the small bags they carry with them. When the time comes, the staff will arrange to collect these boxes and pick them up at the designated location when they get off the plane.

"Boss, will they forget to pack our suitcases?" Xu Damao asked Jiang Yan in a low voice on the way to deliver the suitcases.

"Don't worry about losing it."

At this time, Jiang Yan was curiously holding the ticket and postcard, and answered Xu Damao casually.

When he came to the boarding hall before, Jiang Yan was very curious to know what the plane tickets of this era looked like.

I didn't know until I actually held it in my hand that the so-called air tickets in this era were all written by hand.

The name, flight location, flight number, flight date, and fare are written by hand on it.

But the fare is really expensive. The plane ticket from Bingcheng to Sijiu City costs more than 100 yuan, which is basically equivalent to Jiang Yan's salary for this month. After paying, if Jiang Yan had to pay for it himself, he would rather take the train.

And it takes about six hours to fly from Bingcheng to Sijiucheng.Unlike the planes of later generations, it basically takes two or three hours to reach Sijiu City.

It is relieved to think that the national passenger aircraft is not a jet aircraft of later generations but a piston transport aircraft.

Slow down, slow down!I am not in a hurry.
