He Yuhan also sent New Year's gifts to the Jiang family before the Lunar New Year and met Jiang Bowen, who had returned after completing his studies.
After a year of further study, Jiang Bowen has become much more composed. He Yuhan seems to see the calm, capable, and confident boss from her previous life.
He Yuhan knew that Jiang Bowen had grown a lot; gold always shines, and she believed that Jiang Bowen would one day achieve great success. She hoped that Jiang Bowen would no longer be alone in the end, and that his family would always be there for him.
Jiang Bowen had just returned and was planning to visit the Han family sometime, since Han Yixian had helped him a lot to get the opportunity to pursue further studies.
Jiang Bowen was very happy to see He Yuhan. "Sister Yuhan, I was thinking of visiting you sometime soon."
He Yuhan asked, "How are your studies going?"
Jiang Bowen said, "My graduation grades were all excellent, and I was ranked first."
He Yuhan smiled and said, "Well done! I knew you wouldn't go wrong. Now you have a college diploma, which will give you many advantages in your future work. Keep up the good work and you'll definitely achieve great things in the future."
Jiang Bowen was a little embarrassed by He Yuhan's praise. He scratched the back of his head and chuckled, "I have to thank Brother Han for helping me get this opportunity for further study."
Jiang Zhaonian also said, "Yes, thanks to Yi Xian's help, Bowen has such a good opportunity."
Han Yixian said, "Bowen's hard work is evident to all, and Shuguang Tractor Factory also has high hopes for Bowen. That's why they gave him this opportunity."
He Yuhan said, "The New Year is coming soon. Bowen, you weren't home before, so I guess you didn't prepare much for the New Year. I prepared some for you. Have a good New Year this year."
He Yuhan brought mostly food, including some refined grains like rice and wheat flour, so they could make dumplings on New Year's Eve. She also brought several pounds of pork, two large carp, some pastries, candies, and dried goods—all things to eat during the New Year.
Jiang Bowen looked at the pile of things Sister Yuhan had brought and said embarrassedly, "Sister Yuhan, why did you bring so much stuff? The factory has given out welfare benefits, and there are also some supplies for the New Year. We don't need anything at home."
He Yuhan said, "This is my way of wishing you a Happy New Year in advance. We're going on a long trip after the New Year, so we won't be able to come back to wish you a Happy New Year then."
Jiang Bowen asked, "What's wrong? Going out for something?"
He Yuhan nodded and said, "I came here today to tell you that the Han family and the He family may be moving away next year. Brother Yi will be transferred to work in the south, and my eldest brother will also be transferred to the south. We will all go with him. So I came to tell you, Grandpa Jiang, that you don't need to collect those old items anymore, because it's too far away and I can't come back to get them."
When Jiang Bowen heard that Sister Yuhan was leaving City C next year, his heart sank. He thought he could see Sister Yuhan often by asking her questions, but he didn't expect that Sister Yuhan and her family were leaving. The south is so far away, wouldn't it be very difficult for them to meet in the future?
Jiang Bowen felt a deep sense of reluctance. Sister Yuhan was the person who helped him the most. It was Sister Yuhan who gave him the courage to strive forward, and it was Sister Yuhan who gave him one opportunity after another, which led to his bright future job at Shuguang Tractor Factory.
Sister Yuhan was his teacher, his friend, and the first person he ever liked. He really couldn't bear to see Sister Yuhan leave.
Jiang Zhaonian asked, "Have you decided on a specific time to leave?"
He Yuhan said, "The specifics haven't been decided yet. But my brother-in-law and I will go over there after the New Year to take a look. My father-in-law and father are both planning to retire and move to the countryside there. We're going to look at places and want to build houses first. Once everything is ready there, everyone here will move over."
Brother Yi is going there to support the construction; they're building a new factory, and conditions will definitely be tough at first. So we're going there first to scout ahead.
However, Bowen, even after I leave, we can still keep in touch. I can still provide your factory with some product drawings. You can also contact me if you have any questions. Call or write a letter is fine.
"Besides, if my second brother and his family aren't leaving, we can always contact him if anything happens in the future."
Jiang Bowen felt a little better when he heard that he could still contact Sister Yuhan often, and said, "Then I will write to you in the future."
Jiang Bowen thought that if Sister Yuhan had any new drawings in the future, he could apply to the factory to pick them up from her in person. Otherwise, mailing them wouldn't be safe.
Jiang Zhaonian said, "Since it's inconvenient for you to come here to get things in the future, you can have your second brother come to get them. I'll collect some small items for you in the future."
He Yuhan shook her head and said, "Grandpa Jiang, it's better not to. The situation isn't good right now, so it's best not to keep any old things at home, lest someone finds out and causes trouble. You should also hide any old things you have at home well, and make sure no one finds out. We all need to be careful in the future, and not leave any trouble behind because of a little bit of luck."
Jiang Zhaonian nodded upon hearing this and said, "You're right, I'll be careful. Take these things with you. Come back to me on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, I have something else for you."
He Yuhan and Han Yixian sat for a while longer before leaving the Jiang family with the things Jiang Zhaonian had collected. Once they reached a secluded spot outside, He Yuhan stored everything into her spatial storage.
It was almost noon, so Jiang Zhaonian asked his granddaughter to cook, leaving Jiang Bowen behind. He said, "Bowen, I'm going to give some of the things we left at home to your sister Yuhan. She's helped our family so much, and we should thank her properly."
There are a few other things I'd like her to help us store. She's collected so much stuff, she must have a place to hide it; it's safer than if we hid it ourselves.”
Jiang Bowen nodded and said, "Grandpa, we'll do as you say."
Jiang Zhaonian said, "We should retrieve the things we've hidden in our hometown as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid they'll be discovered sooner or later. I can't go with you, but it's a bit dangerous for you to go alone. It would be best if your sister Yuhan and her husband went with you."
After knowing them for so long, it's clear they're trustworthy people; asking them for help is the most suitable option. Just have your sister Yuhan keep our things for us; she definitely won't try to take anything from us."
Jiang Bowen said, "Of course, Sister Yuhan is the most trustworthy person. Besides, given the family background of the Han and He families, they probably wouldn't even look at what we have."
Jiang Zhaonian also knew that the Han family's family background was far superior to that of the Jiang family. The Han family received far more attention than them, which explained why the Han family had to go to such a remote place.
Although Jiang Zhaonian's workplace was inconspicuous, he could see that the situation was getting worse and worse, and there might be major changes at any time, so he thought it best to make plans as soon as possible.
Now he is even more grateful that he left his hometown to live in seclusion here, at least those who know their background will not have bad intentions.
