Chapter 806: Lonely Bird



With the sound of the whistle, the train slowly left Dandong Station.

Zhang Xuan sat on the lower bunk by the window, holding a photo in his hand.

This is the only photo among the more than 70 photos that shows her and Wan Feng alone.

On the bleak seaside, there is a gray sky in the distance and gray sand under your feet.

Wan Feng stood with his back to the sea, smiling, his hands behind his back, looking like he wanted a beating. She stood slightly in front of his body, her head tilted to the side of Wan Feng. At first glance, one would think her head was in Wan Feng's arms.

There is a seabird whose name I cannot tell flying lonely in the distant sky...

Ever since she entered the sleeper car, she has been sitting here holding this photo.

He Xiao, He Yanfei and Li Mingdou were in this carriage, but no one spoke at this time. Li Mingdou simply ran to the carriage where Guo Wu and the others were.

Zhang Xuan felt that the person with the tilted head was not her, but the bird struggling in the distant sky was her. It was lonely and desolate and seemed to have no idea which direction to fly.

Zhang Xuan began to sob, his voice gradually getting louder and louder, tears in his eyes fell in rows like broken strings.

He Yanfei sat next to Zhang Xuan and wanted to say something but after thinking for a long time he still didn't know what to say.

At the same time, Wan Feng, who walked out of the waiting room with his head down, suddenly felt upset.

He stopped on the steps in front of the waiting room, took a deep breath, and looked up at the sky.

Gray clouds were rolling in the sky, and fine snowflakes were flying everywhere.

A white bird flew alone into the distance.

For some reason, Wan Feng suddenly felt that the white bird was Zhang Xuan. She was flying away alone with her back to him, full of sadness.

This feeling struck his nerves like lightning, and he slowly reached out his hands to cover his face...

"Brother, have all your classmates left?" Wei Chunguang stuck his head out of the bread.

Wei Chunguang's words woke Wan Feng from his out-of-control state. He took a breath, shook his head, walked down the stairs and got into the car.

"Brother, you finally made it here, stay in Dongdan for two more days. I'll show you the prosperity of Dongdan."

"Brother Wei, no, I have a lot of things to do at home. I need to buy some gifts first, and then go back. Is there a bus to Hongya this afternoon?"

"The last bus seems to be at 2:30. It's a new route. Brother, are you sure you don't want to stay here all day? Even one day will do."

Wan Feng quickly checked the time and said, "Brother Wei, take me to the best store in Dongdan right now. It must sell gold. One of my elders is having her sixty-sixth birthday, and I want to buy her some gold jewelry. I won't stay here this time. Maybe next time."

"Xiao Li, go to the First Department Store."

Wei Chunguang no longer insisted and told the driver to go to Dongdan No. 1 Department Store.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of the First Department Store.

"The gold jewelry is on the fourth floor." Wei Chunguang instructed.

Wan Feng got out of the car and ran into the store and went up to the fourth floor in one breath.

Wan Feng found the gold jewelry counter in a corner on the fourth floor.

There were not many gold ornaments from 1984 and the styles were relatively old-fashioned. The surface of the jewelry did not emit the shiny luster like gold ornaments of later generations.

Wan Feng glanced at the counter and immediately took a fancy to two pairs of gold bracelets.

"Give me one pair of these two bracelets, and three pairs of these earrings."

There are two pairs of bracelets, one weighing 40 grams and the other 30 grams, plus four pairs of earrings, each pair weighing about 4 grams, for a total of a little over 85 grams.

At 40 yuan per gram, Wan Feng took the receipt to the cashier and paid more than 3,400 yuan, then took the change and the receipt to the counter to pick up the jewelry.

She put the jewelry box and the invoice in her arms and hurried downstairs. When she got in the car, she said, "Take me to the bus station."

Although the car looked old, it ran quite fast. The driver was also very skilled and took Wan Feng to Dongdan Bus Station in just over ten minutes.

It was only a few minutes until half past two. Wan Feng hurriedly said hello to Wei Chunguang and rushed into the bus station like the wind.

By the time he bought his ticket and reached the ticket gate, he was already the last passenger and the train was about to depart.

Only when he got on the car did Wan Feng breathe a sigh of relief, as he had finally caught up.

This line is very convenient. Next time you get off here, you don’t have to stay in Dongdan for a night.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Wan Feng got off the bus at Gushan, rented a tricycle on the roadside and returned to Wahou.

When I got home, Luan Feng was sitting against the wall in the room, looking a little depressed.

He smiled only when he saw Wan Feng coming back.

Now that the classmates have left, it's time to settle the accounts. Luan Feng lay on the kang and began to calculate for Wan Feng the income he had earned during the time he was away.

This time the profit was 280,000 more than the last time.

Last time his income was 430,000, and this time it reached 710,000. The extra income mainly came from the new motorcycles in the machinery factory, dividends from the market, the expansion of the garment factory and the increased production of tape recorders.

When the market first started, Wan Feng said that he would not charge a penny for two years, but starting from the third year he wanted 5% of the market's profits. However, 5% of the market's profits was not much, only more than 30,000 yuan.

Wan Feng didn't reconcile each account one by one, as long as he had the number.

He now has assets worth 3.1 million yuan, and if you include the money he has lent out, it would be more than 3.2 million yuan.

If you look at the passbook alone, this money just looks like a bunch of numbers and it doesn't feel like there is really any money involved.

Wan Feng took out a few jewelry boxes from his chest pocket and pushed one in front of Luan Feng: "It's the New Year. You've worked hard for a year, so this is a New Year's gift for you."
