Chapter 169 My Partner
"Besides, it's Laba Festival in a couple of days, and Grandma wants to celebrate the festival with you," He Yuzhi said, looking at her granddaughter with reluctance.
Zhizhi immediately hugged the old lady, "Grandma, how about... I stay here and spend the New Year with you?" Zhizhi is the softest-hearted person, especially towards the elderly who love her.
He Yuzhi shook her head. "You have to go back. It's not good for you young couples to stay apart all the time."
He Yuzhi touched her belly again, "Now that you're pregnant, your mother-in-law will definitely want to meet the baby."
Zhizhi suddenly remembered the empty promises she had made to her mother-in-law, and then, feeling a pang of conscience, she took He Yuzhi out to buy New Year's gifts for the family.
She bought new clothes for He Yuzhi and Wen Runxiang.
Even Lin Wenwen, his sister-in-law, has one.
I also bought some for my mother-in-law, Wu Caifeng, and Zhou Lin.
He Yuzhi didn't want it, but Zhizhi insisted on buying it, and kept insisting that she had money.
She did have money. When she went to Director Liu and told him that she wanted to go home for the Chinese New Year and would not be doing her work for the year, Director Liu gave her a remittance slip for more than two thousand yuan.
Zhizhi "..."
Director Zeng said that Director Liu wouldn't give her less, but he didn't say he'd give her this much!
Zhizhi thought that maybe she could work for two more days. As for being a man or not, actually... she didn't really want to!
After the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, after lunch, Zhizhi was personally taken to the train station by Wen Changyu with a car full of things.
At the train station platform, Wen Changyu took two red envelopes out of his pocket and gave them to her. "This is from your grandma, and this is from your dad."
At this moment, Wen Changyu was glad that he had listened to his eldest son and pursued the matter of the money; otherwise, he would probably be feeling a bit embarrassed standing here now.
Zhizhi refused, but Wen Changyu forced it into her pocket, saying, "I can't let you spend money to buy clothes for your family."
"Take it. We don't need you to support us in our old age. But when I get really old, I won't give you any money anymore."
“I’m still young, it’s only right that I give you money, originally…” He, as her father, already felt indebted to her.
Soon someone on the train came to greet him, stood up straight in front of Wen Changyu, saluted, and then greeted him, "Commander!"
Wen Changyu introduced her to the other party, "This is my daughter, Zhizhi." He pointed to Zhizhi.
The other person quickly extended his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Zhao Dong, you can just call me Xiao Zhao."
Although Zhao Dong wasn't very old, judging from her appearance, he was at least in his mid-twenties. For someone her age to call someone "Little Zhao"...
Zhizhi extended her hand and lightly shook hands with the other person, "Brother Zhao!"
Zhao Dong immediately waved his hand and said, "Just call me Xiao Zhao, Xiao Zhao is fine."
Wen Changyu continued, "My daughter is pregnant. Please take good care of her during this long journey."
Zhao Dong saluted again and shouted, "Yes, sir!"
Wen Changyu waved his hand, and Zhao Dong quickly reached out to help him take the things.
Wen Changyu also arranged for someone to accompany Zhizhi back to Jiangcheng, but he also informed the train crew.
Zhao Dong and another person busied themselves loading all the items onto the train, which was about to depart.
Zhizhi waved to Wen Changyu, "Dad, I'm leaving."
Wen Changyu urged him to the train window, "Call home when you arrive in Jiangcheng."
"Okay, I understand. You can go back now!"
Wen Changyu nodded, then said to the person beside Zhizhi, "Take good care of her."
When the other party responded, he composed himself and looked at Zhizhi with reluctance, saying, "If you feel unwell on the way, tell Zhao Dong in time, and he will help you contact someone."
Zhizhi nodded. "Okay."
Wen Changyu then waved his hand and said, "Go, go."
Zhizhi stayed in a deluxe sleeper berth, where she lived alone. It had a TV and a bathroom, which was extremely convenient.
Wen Changyu waited until the train had gone far away before leaving the platform.
Because Wen Changyu had given her advance notice, Zhizhi had a very comfortable journey.
Especially when it comes to food.
Zhao Dong would bring her something almost every two hours.
Zhao Dong left after putting down his things, mainly to check on her condition and make sure she was alright.
They would also ask her, "Zhizhi, is there anything you like to eat?"
"Roast chicken," Zhizhi said after thinking for a moment.
She still thinks the roast chicken she ate on her first train ride was delicious.
She ate two roast chickens on the way, and when she got off the bus, the driver packed her three more.
Zhizhi: Well... I feel a little embarrassed.
Zhou Lin was waiting at the platform early. When he saw Zhizhi get off the train with someone else by her side, he immediately ran over to her.
Xiao Li, whom Wen Changyu had arranged, knew Zhou Lin, but Zhao Dong did not. Upon seeing Zhou Lin, Zhao Dong ran over and immediately stood in front of Zhizhi with a cold face.
Zhou Lin: "??"
Zhizhi quickly said, "He's my boyfriend, he's my boyfriend."
Zhao Dong “…”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," he said, reaching out to shake Zhou Lin's hand. "It was the commander who arranged for me to escort Zhizhi all this way, so I was being a little cautious. Please don't be angry."
His explanation naturally dispelled Zhou Lin's anger. "Thank you for your trouble."
Zhao Dong waved his hand, "No trouble at all, no trouble at all. I'm just glad you don't mind if I haven't taken good care of you along the way."
Zhizhi carried three roast chickens. "No, they've been taken very good care of."
"Thank you for these three roast chickens."
Zhao Dong waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's nothing. If you like it, give me your address and I'll send you some every now and then."
What's the value of a roast chicken? It can't compare to getting a good look at the commander.
It would be even better if we could establish a connection.
But Zhizhi immediately shook her head, "We can't finish this, no need, no need, it's no trouble at all. You've already gone through a lot of trouble."
Zhao Dong waved his hand again, saying, "Just live up to the commander's expectations."
"Let's go, I'll see you out," Zhao Dong said, wanting to take credit but not wanting to be disliked. He changed the subject after saying enough.
There was indeed a lot of stuff, so Zhou Lin said, "Thank you for your trouble."
Zhao Dong reiterated, "What's the trouble? We'll definitely see each other many more times in the future. We'll gradually get to know each other and become friends."
Zhao Dong carried the items in his hands and on his shoulder, speaking in a carefree manner: "You'll know me once you get to know me. I love making friends. If you ever need my help, just ask, and I'll definitely lend a hand."
They had lots of bags and packages, and it took them another trip to pack everything.
After loading everything onto the car, Zhao Dong waved and said, "Drive slowly on the way back, I won't see you off."
Zhizhi waved goodbye to him!
"goodbye!"
Xiao Li, whom Wen Changyu sent, also went back by train.
As Zhou Lin was leading Zhizhi back, a comrade from the communications room came out and stopped his car. "Commander Zhou, someone is looking for you!"
Zhou Lin asked curiously, "Who's looking for me?"
"Say it's your sister!"
Just then, a simply dressed, tall and slender girl came out of the communications room.
The little girl was tall and thin, with clear, determined eyes and two black braids. She walked to the car and called out, "Second Brother!"
Zhou Lin got out of the car. "You're on vacation?"
Zhou Chan nodded. "Yes, it was just released today."
Zhou Lin looked at her empty hands. "Where are your things?"
Zhou Chan pointed to the communications room behind her. "It's inside!"
Zhou Lin lifted his foot and walked towards the communications room.
Zhizhi poked her head out from the back seat and greeted her sister-in-law, "Hi!"
Zhou Chan frowned as she looked at it.
She turned and walked toward the communications room.
