"It seems to be around two o'clock, just like my aunt said."

An Qingbai glanced at his watch.

"That means we're almost there."

As they were talking, a car pulled up at the village entrance.

The driver took out the photo given to him by the director.

Zhuang Zhimeng sensed this was it and stepped forward to ask.

"Are you from Haishi Textile Factory, delivering fabric to me?"

The driver compared the photos and nodded.

"That's right, where should I unload the fabric for you?"

Zhuang Zhimeng pointed to herself.

"Just give it to me, I can carry it."

The driver handed the form to Zhuang Zhimeng for her signature and opened the carriage with some skepticism.

"That adds up to quite a lot."

Zhuang Zhimeng signed the form, handed it to the driver, and then, without saying a word, picked up the fabric.

"Please be careful on your way back."

The driver was stunned for a moment, then immediately responded.

"Okay, I'll be careful. I'll come back in a month to take the fabric away."

Zhuang Zhimeng nodded, and the driver drove off.

An Qingbai walked to his wife's side.

"Wife, let me carry you."

"Okay, I don't think it's too heavy."

An Qingbai took the fabric and felt it.

"It's quite heavy; most people wouldn't be able to lift it."

Zhuang Zhimeng patted her lover's hand.

"Aber should just put it in the warehouse. If someone sees it, it will take a long time to explain."

"Besides our own family, there were only two outsiders among the people we hired this time. It's inevitable that some of them will be jealous and try to sabotage us."

“My wife’s consideration makes sense. I’ll accept it and take it out when we get home.”

"Yes, just put it on the kang (heated brick bed) in the guest room when we get home. I've already laid out the kang sheet."

"good."

The couple went home and An Qingbai went to put away the fabric.

Zhuang Zhimeng opened the window, placed the appliances in their designated spots, and covered them with a dust cover.

Jiang Yanxia came over and knocked on the door, and Zhuang Zhimeng opened it.

"Zhimeng, I heard there's going to be a meeting tonight to discuss getting electricity to the village."

"Yes, I already know. All the appliances have been shipped back."

"So, did the dog come back too?"

The yarn seemed to respond to its owner's voice and barked.

"Woof."

Zhuang Zhimeng smiled.

"Well, now the dog tells you it's back."

"Hehe, not bad, yarn still remembers me."

"Xiazi, it's just in time for you to come. Let's officially start work tomorrow."
