It took more than forty minutes to get to the city. At the city bus stop, I saw Jiang Jinyao, who had been waiting there for almost ten minutes.
"Do you live in the city?" Shen Qiaoyue had forgotten to ask Jiang Jinyao where she lived yesterday.
Jiang Jinyao explained, "I live at home. My mother works at the Finance Bureau in the city. Her workplace provides us with an apartment. I ride my bicycle to work every day, and it takes about forty minutes to get there."

Then, leaving the remaining money and food coupons with them was a way of expressing gratitude.
It was already past 3 p.m. when they returned to the factory. Shen Qiaoyue and Jiang Jinyao summarized the work report and showed it to Lü Zhengshan. They planned to start dyeing the fabric according to this formula next week.
