Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 448 Heading south to Yangcheng!

Beijing International Airport!

After waving goodbye to Jiang Xue and Jiang Longcheng who came to see them off, Li Yi walked into the airport terminal with his suitcase and his own small satchel.

There is a big difference between this international airport and the Capital International Airport in Li Yi's memory.

The biggest difference is that only the T1 terminal and the apron are in use at this time.

As for the T2 terminal, it has not yet been put into use, and even a large number of ancillary facilities have not yet been built.

In short, it was different from the airport he remembered!
Walking into the terminal, Li Yi found that there were not many people here, and it was even a bit deserted.

This is completely incomparable with the Capital International Airport where people will come and go decades later!
There's no way around it, you can't just sit on a plane these days if you want.

If you say you have money, that won't work. You must provide a certificate from your employer and use it for official purposes.

Private travel will not be accepted!
Therefore, flying now not only means "having the conditions at home", but also a symbol of social status.

For quite a few people, flying is a very honorable thing.

It was not until 1993 that the country abolished the requirement that a letter of introduction was required to purchase air tickets, and ordinary citizens could purchase air tickets at will, and civil aviation began to become popular.

Soon Li Yi found the ticket window at the airport and strode over.

"Hello, comrade, are there any tickets available to fly to Yangcheng?"

"Yes, yes, but please show your letter of introduction and employer certificate!" the staff member said politely.

Compared with staff from other units, the attitudes of the airport ticket sellers and other staff are very good.

Of course, this may be due to the different targets they serve. After all, those who can afford to fly these days are either rich or expensive.

Li Yi had obtained all kinds of documents and certificates for flying a few days ago, and they were all issued by cotton spinning factories.

At that moment, Li Yi immediately opened his small satchel, took out all kinds of documents and certificates from it, and handed them to the window.

The female comrade who sold the ticket carefully checked Li Yi's ID and said immediately: "Hello, comrade, the ticket you want from Beijing to Yangcheng takes off at 45:68, and the fare is [-] yuan. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

"Sure!"

With that said, Li Yi handed in the 7 big pictures!

To be honest, air tickets are really not cheap these days.

A ticket costs 68 yuan, which is almost equivalent to two months' salary of an ordinary industrial worker.

If the return ticket were the same price, four months of work would be in vain. It’s no wonder that so few people fly out these days.

"Here are your tickets and documents, please keep them!"

"Thank you!"

After getting the ticket, Li Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Buying air tickets these days depends not only on your ability, but also on your luck.

Even if many people can get a certificate from their employer and have enough financial strength to fly, they may not be able to buy a ticket.

The most exaggerated thing is that sometimes, after all the procedures are completed, you have to wait for more than half a month for a flight ticket.

Fortunately, there are the most flights to Yangcheng and Shanghai from Beijing Airport, so Li Yi's trip went smoothly this time.

At nine o'clock sharp, Li Yi finally boarded the plane.

But as soon as he got on the plane, he was shocked by what he saw.There were not many people on the plane. There were only [-] or [-] passengers on the thirty or forty seats, and most of them were men.

This was within Li Yi's expectation. After all, business trips these days are still dominated by men.

But what Li Yi never expected was that almost every one of the dozen men on the plane had a cigarette.

Yes, they are the kind of cigarettes that everyone understands, such as Huazi, Dachongjiu, Ganghua, Osmanthus, etc.!
Everyone puffed away together, and the entire cabin was filled with a pungent smell of smoke.

In addition, there were people playing cards and drinking in the cabin, and even people playing with lighters and striking matches.

Good guy, he really didn’t know that flying is so “free” right now!
After being amazed, Li Yi found his seat and sat down.

Soon after, the announcement on the plane rang, and soon the plane took off from the Capital Airport, heading directly to Yangcheng, the capital of Guangdong Province!
The voyage lasted more than 4 hours, and Li Yi was quite surprised by what he saw along the way.

In addition to being able to smoke in the cabin and passengers can bring their own kindling, the staff on the aircraft will also give passengers souvenirs, including keychains, playing cards, combs, fans, airplane models and other small items.

Even when the plane just took off, the flight attendant saw that Li Yi didn't smoke and specially gave him a pack of Chinese cigarettes and a few pieces of chewing gum.

Although Li Yi did not smoke, he was still curious when he saw this pack of five cigarettes, so he accepted it.

What's also surprising is the catering service on the plane. Since the plane landed at two o'clock in the afternoon, it was right in the middle of the meal.

Ever since, Li Yi was lucky enough to eat the flight meal provided by the airport.

Different from the simple fast food of a few decades later, the food provided on the plane is really rich now, not only bread, red sausage, ice cream, but also five-star beer, Moutai and red wine.

Good guy, the service on the current flight is really making people feel at home.

Of course, the current flight is really generous!
The first time Li Yi took a plane in his previous life was in the late 80s. At that time, civil aviation management was already very strict.

So this was the first time he had seen this, and it was an eye-opener.

?I have to say, this is truly a magical era!
At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, the plane arrived at Yangcheng Airport on time.

As soon as he walked out of the airport, Li Yi saw the person picking him up at the exit!

The person who came was not Huang Lixing's person, but his father-in-law's secretary.

Jiang Shiying's secretary's surname is Shen, and her name is Shen Tianhua. She is a top student who graduated from Beijing University. At a young age, she is already the secretary to the top leader of the Discipline Inspection Commission. She is also the deputy director of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection Office, a proper deputy division leader.

Before Li Yi arrived, he made a call to Huang Lixing and his father-in-law Jiang Shiying. Originally, Huang Lixing was going to come to pick him up in person, but his father-in-law got there first, saying that he wanted Li Yi to come to him first.

For this reason, Li Yi could only refuse Lao Huang's kindness to pick him up at the airport!
This was the first time that Li Yi met Secretary Shen. After a few simple greetings, the two of them left the terminal together.

Arriving at the parking lot outside the airport, the two of them got into a Volga limousine and drove directly to the city.

Li Yi originally thought that Secretary Shen was taking him to where his father-in-law worked, but he didn't expect that he would take him to a villa area and stop in front of a yard.

"Comrade Li Yi, this is the leader's residence. You go in and rest for a while. The leader will come back when he gets off work in the afternoon!"

With that said, Shen Tianhua gave Li Yi a bunch of keys.

Thinking that this was quite the father-in-law's style of doing things, Li Yi thanked him, opened the yard door with the key, and walked into the house.

The place where my father-in-law lives is very good, it is a small two-story villa, and it is very well decorated.

Although the area is not large, it is comfortable and quiet.

Guangdong Province is worthy of being the bridgehead for reform, and one or two things can be seen from this point alone.

Li Yi got up early today, and after flying for several hours, he was indeed a little tired.

So after walking around the room, I lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.
