We took off at 10:30 in the morning and landed at 1:00 in the afternoon. Compared with taking a train that takes a day and two nights, the speed of taking a plane is much faster.

This time, Ling Chuan did not go back to Anshi with Yun Mo, but Zeng Fang came along.

Although Zeng Fang came from a good family, she seldom traveled far, and this was her first time on a plane. She was so excited that she chattered all the way and used up several rolls of film just taking pictures of the blue sky.

In comparison, Yun Mo was much calmer. The total distance she had flown by plane in her previous life was enough to circle the earth several times.

Because they were on a small plane this time, the flight was very bumpy and she almost got airsick.

As soon as she got off the plane, Yun Mo took a taxi directly to the Lu'an Bamboo Weaving Factory.

Although Yun Mo said she was leaving today, she did not tell Huang Zhiqiu that she was coming back by plane.

When Yun Mo arrived at the bamboo weaving factory, Huang Zhiqiu was still taking a lunch break in the office. When he saw his daughter falling from the sky, Huang Zhiqiu thought he was dreaming and did not come to his senses for a long time.

It was not until Zeng Fang came forward with a smile and called out "Aunt Qiu" that Huang Zhiqiu woke up from his dream.

"Momo, Fangfang, how come you're here so soon? Aren't you supposed to arrive the day after tomorrow morning?"

"Aunt Qiu, we came here by plane, and we'll be there in two and a half hours!"

Huang Zhiqiu was so happy that when he learned that the two had not had lunch yet, he immediately wanted to take them out for a meal.

Yun Mo didn't want to go out, as it was the hottest time of the year and it was so hot outside that smoke was coming out of people's heads.

"Mom, just cook some noodles for us. We had bread and fruit on the plane, so we're not very hungry."

Huang Zhiqiu personally went to the cafeteria and cooked a bowl of egg noodles for each of them.

After eating the noodles, Yun Mo took Zeng Fang to visit various places in the bamboo weaving factory.

Except for a few newly hired employees, most of the workers in the factory knew Yun Mo, and they all greeted her warmly.

"Miss Xiaomo is back to visit her family? I haven't seen you for a few months. You have become prettier again."

Yun Mo responded with a smile.

Zeng Fang was curious about everything about the bamboo weaving factory. "Momo, did you design the sign for our bamboo weaving factory? It's so creative."

Yun Mo explained with a smile: "At first, I wanted to order a simple sign to hang up, but the quotes were more expensive than the last. I couldn't bear to spend the money, so I went back to my hometown and designed a bamboo sign. It cost less than 50 yuan in total. It looks okay now, right?"

Zeng Fang gave her a thumbs up and said, "It's more than just OK, it's simply amazing!"

The two of them walked all the way to the production workshop.

As the order delivery time is approaching, the factory is busy with more than 70 bamboo weaving workers doing their work in an orderly manner.

Yun Mo didn't go in to disturb them. She just stood at the door and watched for a while before taking Zeng Fang somewhere else.

In the warehouse, the five gift boxes signed with Ronghua Company were neatly stacked. In addition, some bamboo products such as mats, baskets, baskets, and sieves were also piled up in the warehouse.

After returning to the office, Yun Mo asked Huang Zhiqiu curiously about the purpose of the bamboo products in the warehouse.

Huang Zhiqiu explained with a smile: "Those are some of the business that Chen Bin and your cousin have taken on recently. The cool mats were ordered by the water plant, and they ordered 300 of them. A cool mat sells for 3 or 4 yuan outside, and the order we received is 2.5 yuan.

The other baskets, sieves, and screens were all from nearby factories. Some wanted 50, some wanted 100, and they were all small orders.”

"That's not bad, a little bit of accumulation adds up to a lot."

"Yes, I'm at the factory. Chen Bin and your cousin go out to solicit business during the day. It's so hot today, and they must be working hard."

After chatting about the bamboo weaving factory for a while, Huang Zhiqiu asked about Huang Zhao.

Yun Mo shook her head.

Huang Zhiqiu sighed, "That's right, he didn't even contact his family, so how could he contact you?"

Yun Mo didn't want to talk about Huang Zhao anymore, so she changed the subject and said, "Mom, I came back this time because I have something happy to tell you."

"What's the happy event?"

Zeng Fang rushed to speak, "Aunt Qiu, Momo is so famous, she is the provincial champion in science this year!"

"Number one scholar!?"

Huang Zhiqiu was surprised and delighted, "Momo, you are the provincial champion?"

Yun Mo smiled and took out the certificate of honor issued by the school from her bag and spread it out in front of Huang Zhiqiu.

"Look, it's genuine. The city was going to give you a medal, but I couldn't wait any longer, so I brought this back to show you."

Huang Zhiqiu was holding the certificate of honor, laughing and crying.

"Momo, I never dared to dream that you would be the top scorer in the province. I, I am so happy. Oh, why am I crying..."

Yun Mo took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her mother's face. "Mom, I was just as surprised as you. I guess it's because I was lucky. The score I got was more than 10 points higher than expected."

"Momo, this is not luck, but the result of your own hard work and strength. Mom is very proud of you."

Yun Mo couldn't describe how she felt, it was as if a corner of her heart that had been empty was now filled.

Once upon a time, the purpose and significance of her admission to Kyoto University was to escape the predicament brought about by the original owner and get rid of the fate of being cannon fodder, but now, all her efforts and dedication have been given a more special meaning.

That is to make everyone who loves her feel proud of her.

After being happy, Huang Zhiqiu rolled up the certificate lovingly and said, "Momo, keep this well and don't damage it."

Yun Mo smiled and shook her head, "Mom, this is a gift for you."

"For me?"

Huang Zhiqiu was delighted, but then hesitated, "Is it okay to give this to me?"

"What does it matter? The school has already awarded it to me. Can I take it back?"

Zeng Fang also laughed, "Aunt Qiu, just accept it with confidence. It sounds like an honor, but it's just a piece of paper."

Huang Zhiqiu then happily put the certificate away and said, "When I have time, I'll order a photo frame to put it in and hang it at home to make your grandparents happy."

Yun Mo smiled and nodded.

At around 4 o'clock, Huang Zhiqiu took the two of them to the cafeteria to drink mung bean soup.

The weather is too hot, and to prevent workers from getting heatstroke, the canteen serves mung bean soup at 4 pm every day. Drinking it can not only relieve the heat but also replenish physical strength.

Yun Mo took out a box of candies that she had brought from Jiang City, "Mom, take these to the cafeteria and share them with everyone. These are all gifts from others in the past few days. I kept some at home and brought the rest here."

"Okay, let everyone share in your joy."
