Chapter 105 Sweet Burden
Zheng He nodded. "Of course we must. We originally planned to do renovations and expand our business in Pengcheng, but now we think clothing wholesale is also a good option. Cousin, what do you think of my decision?"
"Cousin, you can choose whatever you want with your career."
Su Wan said, pointing to the clothes in front of him and asked, "I think my two cousins did a great job."
Hearing this, Zheng He felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
My little cousin said they did a good job, so there must be nothing wrong with what they did.
"Cousin, we plan to send more money home during the Chinese New Year so that we can have a more comfortable New Year."
After making money, what they want to do most is to give the money to their families so that they don’t have to worry about them outside.
Being a self-employed person is definitely tiring, but Zheng He and his colleagues feel that such tiredness is just a sweet burden.
After Su Wan said goodbye to them, she went to the door to find Zhang Ma, and they pushed the cart back to Xu's house.
Perhaps knowing that Su Wan was leaving, Xiao Chengyi stayed close to her the whole time, even sleeping with her at night.
Seeing how much her grandson liked Su Wan, Qian Muxue really hoped that she could stay for a few more days. But she had to leave eventually. The next morning, Su Wan went to the market and bought a few sets of duck down jackets. Afraid that the Xu family would feel embarrassed, she simply put them in the room and wrote a letter underneath, intending to let them find them when she left.
Before the next day, after lunch, Xu Ruichen hurriedly said that he had to go back to Pengcheng first.
The car they drove was still the off-road vehicle, but it was equipped with snow tires.
Qian Muxue complained that her son left in a hurry, but she also knew that going to Pengcheng was definitely not a trivial matter, so she brought them a lot of food and drinks in the trunk. Su Wan bought a small stove and brought some charcoal, so that they would have something to eat in case they got stuck on the road.
The trunk was full of food and drinks, and there were two barrels of gasoline. There were even pancakes and buns on the seats, for fear that they would be hungry on the road.
After waving goodbye to the Xu family, Su Wan touched Xiao Chengyi's head and said, "Xiao Chengyi, I'm going back. If you miss me, just call me, okay?"
Xiao Chengyi didn't cry, but his eyes were red.
He handed Su Wan a small bag of things, and Su Wan took it without thinking too much.
"Auntie, I'll be leaving now. Thank you and Uncle for your hospitality these days, and Aunt Zhang, she taught me how to make dumplings and buns, and I've learned how to do it. I'll come visit you again when I have the chance."
"Drive slowly. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to us."
After Qian Muxue said this, the car window slowly rose up.
Just a few minutes after the car drove away and Qian Muxue returned to the yard, Aunt Zhang came over hurriedly with a piece of paper, "Sister Qian..."
"What's wrong, Xiaofang?"
Qian Muxue asked, and Aunt Zhang quickly handed her a piece of paper and pointed to the room and said, "Miss Su seems to have left something in the room."
After reading the contents of the letter, Qian Muxue quickly entered the room.
The room was very tidy. There were several bags on the table next to the bed. They were the bags Su Wan brought back yesterday, and they were all filled with duck down jackets.
Qian Muxue and his wife each had one, Xu Chengyi had two, and even Aunt Zhang had one.
Holding the letter, Qian Muxue was quite moved. "This child, how could..."
She sighed and felt that she should give Su Wan a red envelope when she left.
Unfortunately, she was married, and such customs were usually only observed by unmarried girls. She was afraid that Su Wan would misunderstand, so she didn't pack any. Instead, she bought a lot of Beijing specialties for her to take back to her family.
If I had known this earlier, I would have bought more.
"Sister Qian."
Aunt Zhang called out, and Qian Muxue's face was full of smiles. "Since it's Wanwan's gift, just take it!"
She gave the larger size light purple down jacket to Zhang Ma and asked her to try it on, while she herself wore a beige down jacket.
It works surprisingly well when worn and is also very warm.
Aunt Zhang said happily, "If I had known Miss Su was so polite, I should have given her a red envelope."
Mother Zhang felt embarrassed that she got a piece of clothing for free without paying anything in return.
"She should come again in the future. We'll send her some next time."
Qian Muxue was wearing a down jacket and felt quite happy.
At that time, she thought Su Wan had just said it casually, but she never expected that Su Wan would buy it so quickly.
The road back to Pengcheng is not easy to walk on.
The road was slippery, so they had to take a detour because they couldn't take the highway. Because of the freezing rain, the road was so slippery that they couldn't drive at all. They could only take the national highway, which was safer.
The road section from Beijing was relatively easy to travel, but there was a heavy snowstorm in Hebei Province, so they drove for more than seven hours and got stuck in a traffic jam halfway.
In the 1980s, it was naturally impossible that the traffic jam was caused by too many cars, but because there was a problem with the road conditions ahead and the construction team was still repairing it, so they could only wait in Hebei Province.
"Should we stay at a guesthouse for the night?" the driver asked.
"Let's take turns driving. If we take a break, we'll have to wait a long time."
Xu Ruichen spoke, looking at the tired driver and said, "I'll drive for a while. You take a break. Let's find a place to refuel and have something to eat."
Unfortunately, due to the bad weather in Hebei Province at that time, few people were open for business. They wandered around and found a state-owned restaurant, ordered three bowls of noodles and a pound of braised beef, and after eating, they added oil and continued on their journey.
The road is open, but the road ahead is not easy at all.
When Xu Ruichen was driving, the driver fell asleep in the passenger seat. Su Wan was afraid that he was tired from driving, so she took the initiative to chat with him.
At this time, Xu Ruichen discovered that Su Wan was actually a very profound person.
Her knowledge is very broad, and she can understand many of the things he said. Moreover, she doesn't just talk nonsense. She also has her own ideas about the reform and opening up that China is currently advocating.
It won’t be boring if two people chat.
After midnight, their car inevitably got on the highway.
After getting on the highway and driving for more than an hour, they got stuck in traffic.
There weren't many cars on the highway at this time, so there weren't too many people in traffic jams. Most of them were truck drivers and some speculators.
There was a traffic jam. Su Wan knew she might not be able to leave tonight, so she said to Xu Ruichen, "You take a rest. I'll watch over you here."
"It's okay. They'll remind you when you can leave. We can all rest."
The car was not turned off. They filled up the tank before getting on the highway, and the trunk was full of gas, so they were not worried about fuel consumption.
With the air conditioner on, Xu Ruichen closed his eyes and fell asleep. Su Wan didn't think too much about it and fell asleep too.
