Chapter 154 Saved Song Xiangyang
After the New Year, Huang Ling and Zhou Huaiyi first went to Beijing for a trip, and then took a train to Guangzhou.
1980 was the second year of reform and opening up.
Suzhou hasn't felt it very clearly yet, but Guangdong has already started it in full swing.
This is also the reason why Huang Ling and Zhou Huaiyi came to Guangzhou first.
When returning to Suzhou, while waiting for the train at the railway station, Zhou Huaiyi asked:
"You've obviously been to Guangzhou more than once!"
Zhou Huaiyi and her hardly stopped during the few days they were in Guangzhou. It was only when they arrived that he realized that she was not there for sightseeing.
"Of course, it's more than once, several times! We also keep in touch by phone from time to time. In the second half of last year, Yiming and I started taking on some small orders. We're not looking to make money, but to maintain the relationship."
"I'm in awe," Zhou Huaiyi said, convinced. "I'll take some time off and go to Guangzhou with Engineer Lin."
"Director Zhou is very smart." Huang Ling praised.
Zhou Huaiyi looked at the people coming and going and fell into deep thought.
He had heard Huang Ling talk about the development direction a long time ago. At that time, he did not have any concrete ideas. He just thought that these were all obtained by her understanding of policies through reading books and newspapers and then reasoning, until he came to Guangzhou this time.
She seemed to have foreseen it.
He wondered if this could be deduced.
More than once he heard Huang Ling say, "Wait a little longer, don't be impatient, the time has not come yet."
Like this was bound to happen and she had known it all along.
Just as he was in a daze, Huang Ling held his hand.
"Wondering how I know so much, huh?"
“How do you know what I’m thinking?”
"You taught me that! Everyone has their own little movements or micro-expressions, especially when doing the same thing. Every time you're confused about me, you gently turn the watch I gave you."
Zhou Huaiyi suddenly knew why.
Because she was so smart, much smarter than he thought.
It must be like this.
Huang Ling waved at him, and Zhou Huaiyi leaned over to whisper.
She whispered in his ear, "Actually, I just happened to see you turning your watch, so I guessed."
"For a moment, I thought it was real, and I was still trying to recall whether I had done this little action." Zhou Huaiyi was angry and amused.
He willingly jumped into the pit she dug all day long, then crawled out covered in dust. When she hugged him and kept him company, all his anger would disappear.
Just as he was thinking about it, Huang Ling hugged his arm, leaned against him and laughed.
Okay, as long as you are happy, he thought, and turned the watch on his wrist.
Ah! So this is when I would turn the watch on my wrist.
Huang Ling was right about one thing: the turning of the watch must be related to her.
When getting on the bus, Zhou Huaiyi carried a bag on his back, two bags in one hand, and used one hand to hold Huang Ling, who was only carrying one backpack.
"There are too many people at Guangzhou Station, don't let go!" he instructed.
"Okay, I understand." Huang Ling answered obediently.
Huang Ling's business friend in Guangzhou helped them buy a sleeper berth to Shanghai, which was quite a luxury.
It was already evening when they arrived at Shanghai Railway Station, but the two had no plans to stay and directly bought tickets back to Suzhou in the evening.
There is someone at home.
After the Chinese New Year, Zhou Huailan had to go to work, and Zhou Huaiyi and the others had not returned yet, so her aunt and uncle came to accompany her for a few days. Huang's father and mother also arrived before the Lantern Festival to send Xiaoting off to prepare for school.
The two of them slept all the way to Shanghai and weren't too tired.
When I arrived at Suzhou Station, as soon as I got out of the station, I saw three joint defense team members surrounding a person.
Huang Ling was just passing by and took a quick glance, only to find that it was someone she knew - Song Xiangyang.
She remembered that in the original book, Song Xiangyang was captured once and was rescued by Mr. Lin using a watch.
She had originally thought about whether she should remind Li Yiming and Song Xiangyang about this matter, but she didn't know when they were arrested. She couldn't let them stop purchasing goods for a whole year! Anyway, it was resolved in the end, so she didn't mention it. She didn't expect to encounter it today.
Zhou Huaiyi also knew Song Xiangyang and knew that Mr. Lin had introduced him to the compressor factory as a temporary worker. He also purchased goods and set up a stall with Li Yiming. If he was caught, it would be troublesome.
Before Huang Ling could speak, Zhou Huaiyi stepped forward:
"Xiangyang, why are you running so fast? What's wrong?"
"Director Zhou." Song Xiangyang's eyes lit up when he saw the person coming.
"You are..." When the joint defense team member heard Song Xiangyang call Zhou Huaiyi the factory director, he also let go of the hand that was pulling Song Xiangyang's bag.
"Oh, everyone, there might be a misunderstanding. I'm Zhou Huaiyi, the director of the machinery factory. This is my work ID. He's Xiao Song, an employee of our factory. We're not in the same carriage. We got separated when there were too many people leaving the station."
Zhou Huaiyi took out the ID from his pocket and handed it over.
It was quite dark in this place, so the joint defense team member used a flashlight to shine on Zhou Huaiyi's ID.
"Oh, but then explain these two bags!"
"We're on a business trip, and the union and logistics department asked us to help stock up on some things for the factory. Oh, some needles and thread for the workers to use in the workshop or the union office, and some daily necessities as small prizes. We're having a mobilization meeting after the New Year!"
"Really?" the defense expressed doubt.
"Look, everyone, I still have two bags. Xiao Song has a little more. Oh, here's the certificate from the factory... I'll find the certificate."
Zhou Huaiyi put down his bag and pretended to look for it.
Huang Ling was about to die of laughter at his words. You might as well write one on the spot. It will be your signature anyway.
She thought that if they really wanted to see proof, Huang Ling would be ready to use the space to write one for them.
Zhou Huaiyi opened a bag in his hand, but instead of taking out the certificate, he took out three packs of Peony cigarettes and handed them to the three people:
"Director Zhu often handles our factory's freight, but I rarely participate. Today, I just happened to meet you all. I'll prove it. I clearly put it here..."
The three men took the cigarettes, and one of them said with a smile, "Director Zhu, we know each other well! No need to look for Director Zhou, your ID will be enough."
"Okay, thank you all!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Song Xiangyang also said hurriedly.
Huang Ling picked up the two bags in Zhou Huaiyi's hand, and Zhou Huaiyi helped Song Xiangyang carry the big bag.
"Don't panic." Zhou Huaiyi glanced at the panicked Song Xiangyang and said softly.
The three of them didn't stop until they were a little way out of the train station.
"Director Zhou, Sister Ling, thank you so much! If I get caught, I will definitely lose my job, and maybe even Engineer Lin will be implicated." Song Xiangyang said gratefully.
"It's okay, you are just lucky this time, be careful next time!" Zhou Huaiyi shook his head.
"Oh, money for cigarettes. I'll give you the money for cigarettes."
"It's okay, no need. Where's Yiming? Aren't you guys together?" Huang Ling asked.
"Oh, he said he wanted to meet Boss Qin, and then clean up the warehouse, check the electricity and so on. I was in a hurry to go home, so I bought an earlier train ticket. I didn't expect... If I had known, I would have waited for him." Song Xiangyang said in annoyance.
The owner of the warehouse was in urgent need of money, so Huang Ling had already bought it.
The three said goodbye at the intersection.
When Huang Ling and Zhou Huaiyi returned home, the lights at the gate were on.
I had simple luggage when I left, but when I came back I had two big bags filled with various gifts for them.
As soon as we got home, everyone got up.
The rice was hot, the water was hot, the brazier was burning, everything was so warm.
After lying on the bed, Huang Ling sighed: "Oh! Home is still the best! I will never go out again!"
"I'm just going to listen! It's fine if you can stay." Zhou Huaiyi understood her.
