Jiang Xinyu always felt like she was overlooking sothing, but she couldn’t quite rember it at the mont. However, her wandering thoughts were quickly pulled back by Wei Kaiyun’s actions.
The next morning, Jiang Xinyu made scallion pancakes for breakfast, sothing that could be quite filling. Each of them had a bowl of rice porridge, and the al was really comndable.
After the al, the three of them headed to the textile factory together. Jiang Xinyu went to the office by herself, while Wei Kaiyun took Zhou Zhiping to find Vice Factory Director Wang.
"Mr. Wei, don’t worry, I can definitely arrange it well."
Zhou Zhiping stood there nodding, but his smile gave an eerie feeling instead.
Zhou Zhiping’s work had already been arranged, and he could start working tomorrow afternoon, with the night shift organized for him.
Wei Kaiyun returned to the office, walked around, and then hurriedly left. He ca back after half an hour.
He handed Jiang Xinyu a bicycle ticket, "Old Zhou’s legs aren’t convenient, I just exchanged a bicycle ticket."
"You can go buy it back at noon, and just take the ti off to go to the grain station and buy so food. Let’s arrange everything for Old Zhou before we leave."
Wei Kaiyun nodded, agreeing that it was a good idea.
"By the way, have you decided how much salary you’ll give to Old Zhou?"
Wei Kaiyun shook his head.
"Clear accounts among close brothers, it’s still better to make it clear. Just pay once a year, and even if we’re a bit late in paying him, it shouldn’t differ too much.
And Old Zhou must agree to this. I know you have a good relationship, but business is business. Everyone needs to make a living, right?"
"Okay, I’ll talk to him about it in the afternoon."
At this point, Yang Xiaoxian ca over, collecting addresses to buy tickets for them.
"Mr. Yang, are they sleeper tickets?"
"Yes, it’s so far, they have to be sleeper tickets."
Now Jiang Xinyu felt relieved, thinking to herself that if they weren’t sleeper tickets, she would just pay out of pocket for them. Thinking of sitting for more than half a month, she felt a soreness in her waist and back.
At noon, Wei Kaiyun didn’t stay for lunch and took leave to depart.
He went directly to the building, spent two hundred and eighty on a permanent bicycle, and then rode to the grain station, buying so food to bring back ho.
"Old Zhou, have you eaten yet?"
"Yes, there are still so scallion pancakes and porridge at ho, what about you?"
"I’m going to check out the supply and marketing agency for any vegetables first. I’ll eat when I get back."
He ended up buying so eggs, dried beancurd sticks, dried mushrooms, and a lot of seasonings. Then he rode the bike back ho.
When Wei Kaiyun got ho, he didn’t heat up the scallion pancakes and just ate them directly.
After the al, the two sat in the living room, and Wei Kaiyun organized his words, "Old Zhou, our brotherly relationship is right here, but I have sothing to say.
I invited you here, so I can’t let you co for nothing. I’ve thought it over, I’ll give you thirty yuan a month, which should be enough for your als, so please don’t refuse."
Zhou Zhiping nodded, as he didn’t need the money, but to ease Wei Kaiyun’s mind, he didn’t refuse.
Then the two talked about their ti together in the past. Looking back, those days were difficult but not ntally exhausting. As long as you t the coach’s requirents, it was quite easygoing.
"Is Old Yang still single now?"
"Yes, he says he doesn’t want to hurt anyone. Actually, I’m worried about my wife and kids myself. If they weren’t following , maybe her life would be better.
We already have two kids, and still have to be sneaky. My wife is an outstanding woman, of course, many people take a liking to her, and I really fear that one day she might be taken away by soone else.
But I have many people watching here, and I fear that they might use them as a threat in the future."
Zhou Zhiping understood this logic well, the feeling of powerlessness was quite uncomfortable. Therefore, he didn’t know how to persuade Wei Kaiyun and could only sit with him.
Then Wei Kaiyun shifted the topic to reminiscing about the past.
It wasn’t until half-past four in the afternoon that they started preparing dinner.
"Xiao Wei, will you manage?"
"I can make rice. I’ll wait for my wife to co back for the dishes."
After work, Jiang Xinyu took a bus straight ho and went directly to the third house, taking out a twenty-pound bucket of soybean oil, another twenty pounds of rice, twenty pounds of flour, and a large piece of pork.
But there were too many things, so she had no choice but to tie the rice and flour bags together and carry them on her shoulder, holding two other items in her hands before locking up and heading ho.
Hearing the knock on the door, Wei Kaiyun went to open it and imdiately took the rice and the oil bucket from his wife’s hands.
"I know to go et you."
"It’s okay, if there were too many people, they wouldn’t sell these."
After dinner, the three of them sat in the living room chatting.
"Xiao Wei, when will you be heading back?"
"The day after tomorrow, the specific ti hasn’t been decided yet, but soone is buying tickets for us today."
"Alright, you and your wife can rest assured. I’ll take care of things here."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and nodded, "But still, we have to thank Brother Zhou."
"No need for formalities, Xiao Wei and I have a strong bond."
The next day, the husband and wife took the bus to work, leaving the bicycle to Zhou Zhiping.
At noon, it was confird that the train tickets were for tomorrow afternoon at three.
Yang Xiaoxian distributed the tickets to the seven of them, Wei Kaiyun and Jiang Xinyu were together with two engineers responsible for installing ventilation equipnt.
The remaining ones had different schedules, the earliest being tomorrow morning, and the latest the day after tomorrow afternoon.
"Vice Factory Director Jiang, once I return, I’ll arrange for soone to visit your factory," said soone from the brother unit who ca along.
Jiang Xinyu had no objections, she understood their intention was to learn how to install ventilation equipnt. Actually, they didn’t need to rush; after all, this expenditure had to be made anyway. However, she didn’t decline.
"Mr. Yang, we won’t be here tomorrow. Thanks for your care during this ti." Wei Kaiyun shook hands with Yang Xiaoxian.
"It’s my duty, being my job. Also, tonight in the cafeteria, our two factory directors along with ten workshop leaders are holding a farewell banquet for everyone."
Everyone spoke flattering words.
After work, a farewell banquet was held in a small hall in the cafeteria. The factory director’s speech contained so official phrases, but it was extrely courteous.
Everyone was cheerful and laughing, having ford a bit of an attachnt to the place, especially after spending over forty days here. The place was very open, without much secrecy, though the core details were inaccessible to them, which was understandable.
Any factory would be the sa, after all, who doesn’t have so secrets?
After the al, since there were no buses, the two had to walk back, walking here. Jiang Xinyu sighed, finally leaving, even if the outside is great, it doesn’t compare to the comfort of ho.
