In the shop, He Tiantian usually goes in the morning to help collect money and pack things; in the afternoon, she does the accounting, inventory, and summarizing.
Just as Sanfengqiao's business was booming, He Tiantian received letters from Qi Xiaoyan and Niu Dajun.
Along with the letter came a remittance slip for 26,000 yuan, and a large stack of ledgers, recording everything clearly from purchases to sales.
He Tiantian spent two days checking the accounts and found no errors.
It seems that Qi Xiaoyan and Niu Dajun's business is doing quite well. In just half a year, she has taken 30% of the profits and received a dividend of more than 26,000 yuan. Niu Dajun's bullwhip is estimated to have an income of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.
Let's get rich together, that sounds good!
Just as He Tiantian was busy with her shop business, Huo Yingjie finally completed his work task on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Huo Yingjie brought out a large stack of data and reports and went to Chief Engineer Sun's office.
"Yingjie has arrived. Is there some difficulty?" Chief Engineer Sun asked. "If there is, please tell me. I know your work has reached its most critical stage."
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "I have completed the project. Here are the documents."
"Huh?" Chief Engineer Sun was taken aback. "So fast?"
"Yes, that's fast," Huo Yingjie said. "Two sets of experiments have been completed, and the data matches the theoretical formula. As usual, we can submit the task now."
Chief Engineer Sun was skeptical, but he believed that Huo Yingjie was a genius, and geniuses are best at creating miracles.
But... but Huo Yingjie's miracle came a little too fast!
Chief Engineer Sun took the documents and carefully examined them, his eyes growing brighter with each reading.
"Adding this trace element can increase toughness; adding that inert gas..." Chief Engineer Sun was secretly amazed and understood why Yanjing had been unable to figure it out even after two years of research.
"Not bad, very good." Chief Engineer Sun smiled. "How about this, just to be on the safe side, I'll give you special permission to do another set of experiments. If there are no problems, you can submit it." Chief Engineer Sun said, "The New Year is coming soon, and we'll be giving out some benefits and bonuses."
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Chief Engineer Sun, you know, what I care about most is the holiday!"
The reason Chief Engineer Sun hadn't said anything was to tease Huo Yingjie. Sure enough, the kid couldn't hold back and laughed, "After the experiment is over, you can start your vacation, which will last until the 20th of the first lunar month. That should be enough time for you to rest at home."
A whole month!
Huo Yingjie was overjoyed and said, "That's enough, thank you Chief Engineer Sun."
Huo Yingjie couldn't wait to go back and begin the final experiment.
The data is almost identical to the report, within the margin of error.
Just as Chief Engineer Sun was reporting to his superiors, Huo Yingjie packed his things, preparing to go home for the Chinese New Year.
However, when he left, there were two more people behind Huo Yingjie.
Zhang Aijun and Li Yunzhong were responsible for protecting Huo Yingjie's safety.
In reality, Huo Yingjie didn't need it, but Director Hua insisted on making the arrangement, and he couldn't refuse.
As long as he could go home, Huo Yingjie didn't care about these trivial matters.
Zhou Yuanchao also began packing his things, and he and Huo Yingjie would return to Nanshi.
"Boss, I'll go back to Nanshi with you," Zhou Yuanchao said. "When are you leaving?"
"I'll leave this afternoon!" Huo Yingjie said, he was getting impatient.
"Why don't you do it tomorrow morning?" His wife, Wang Ying, could only get leave tomorrow; she couldn't leave today.
"No, you and Wang Ying should leave tomorrow. I'm going back this afternoon and will be home tonight," Huo Yingjie said with a smile. "By the way, what are you going to Nanshi for?"
Zhou Yuanchao said with a hint of resentment, "Wang Ying is from Nanshi. Before I take Wang Ying back to my hometown, I always have to go to my mother-in-law's place."
"Hehe, that's true," Huo Yingjie laughed. "I won't wait for you any longer, I'll head back to Nanshi first. When you get to Nanshi, feel free to come to my house. You know your sister-in-law is very warm and hospitable!"
“Okay, I’ll definitely visit your house then,” Zhou Yuanchao said. “I’ve always heard that the braised meat at your family’s shop tastes really good, I must try it. If it’s delicious, boss, you have to ask your wife to prepare some extra for me to take back to Mongolia.”
“That’s your sister-in-law’s shop, ask her for it.” Huo Yingjie was a straightforward man; he didn’t have the habit of using his wife’s things to do favors.
Zhou Yuanchao smiled and said proudly, "My sister-in-law is a very generous person, she will definitely prepare a lot for me."
Huo Yingjie had already packed his things. After lunch, he got into the jeep arranged by the research institute and headed to the train station.
Once on the train, Huo Yingjie only brought a small bag, along with some gifts from his workplace, such as very sweet tangerines and large pomelos transported from the south, among other rare fruits.
Zhang Aijun and Li Yunzhong carefully inspected their surroundings.
It took a while before I sat down to rest.
“You must miss home terribly since you can’t go home for the New Year.” Huo Yingjie put himself in their shoes and understood their feelings.
Zhang Aijun smiled and said, "It's nothing really. Someone always has to carry out the mission. I have twenty days of vacation a year, so I can take my wife back to my hometown to visit."
“Yes, I also have a holiday. It’s just that I don’t want to go home. If I go soon, my parents will force me to go on blind dates.” Li Yunzhong said with a wry smile, “I seem like a pretty outgoing person, but I’m a slow starter. If I don’t get to know them and develop feelings for them, I don’t like those girls at all.”
"Hey, didn't you think of finding one in the army?" Huo Yingjie asked. Since you can't find one in your hometown, then you can look for one in the army.
"Forget it, there are too many wolves and not enough meat in the army, how could it be my turn!" Li Yunzhong smiled bitterly. "I think I can be discharged next year. I'll go back to my hometown and find a wife then. There's no rush."
"Reinstated? Don't you want to stay in the army?" Huo Yingjie asked.
“I want to stay in the army, but I have several older sisters who are married. I am the only son in my family, and my parents are old. If I go back after being discharged, I can take good care of them and fulfill my filial duties,” Li Yunzhong said with emotion. He is no longer the carefree young man he once was.
"That's true!" Huo Yingjie said. "While our parents are still alive, we should take good care of them. What about Brother Zhang?"
“I have two brothers, and I’m the second oldest. My older brother and younger brother take care of my parents. I send them some living expenses, and I go home to visit them when I’m on vacation,” Zhang Aijun said. “This is also a way of showing filial piety.”
"Sister-in-law, what kind of work do you do at the research institute?" Huo Yingjie asked casually. He thought these two people were nice and wanted to recruit them as his own.
“She’s a fifth-grade Chinese teacher at the research institute,” Zhang Aijun said with a smile. “She used to be a high school student, but because of her family background, they never agreed to have a child. Fortunately, we persevered, and now we’re planning to have a baby.”
