Go to class by myself? No, that won't do either. I'll just stay in my room. I won't go anywhere; I'd rather they forget about me.
Then I lay down. Even if I was hungry, I didn't move.
Lu Jing returned from the car factory and learned about Liu Jingsong's situation. She told them to wait a while; a truck would arrive that evening, one of which was heading back to Liujiatun. She suggested they all go back together. However, there was a problem with Liu Jingsong's belongings.
After thinking for a moment, he asked Gan Lu to drive Liu Jingsong back, and then come back after he finished packing.
"Ganlu, you must keep a close eye on him. Be careful to keep an eye on things that don't belong to him, and make sure he doesn't do anything bad."
"clear."
Liu Jingsong was feeling very uneasy. Just then, he heard a knock on the door and simply closed his eyes.
Ganlu waited for a while but there was no movement inside. "Come out now, or you can just leave from here tomorrow and don't need to go back to the capital."
Liu Jingsong sat up, still unable to sit still. He tidied up his luggage, put it in his bag, opened the door and went out, where he saw Gan Lu standing to one side.
Seeing Liu Jingsong come out, Gan Lu turned and left, and he followed behind her.
Zhang Hongmei watched the departing car, feeling extremely upset. It had come to this; after so many years together, even if he wasn't perfect, she still felt sad.
Lu Jing came in and reported to her, "Madam, everything is arranged. They guarantee that the first batch of one hundred units will be delivered within three months."
"Okay, contact the military. The first batch will need about two hundred people, two people per vehicle. You can arrange it accordingly. Also, notify the service companies in each city to promote this logistics service. This is my plan. Follow this plan."
"Madam, leave ten vehicles in the capital, and arrange the rest in the surrounding cities. Just drive them directly from the car factory."
"Okay, Ganlu can take care of this, shall we?"
"Madam, let's keep Ganlu. I think we should choose two male comrades. That way, it will be easier for them to interact with the driver."
Furthermore, car factories provide each vehicle with a complete set of repair tools.
"Okay, make a call and find someone to train these two hundred people. We'll fence off that vacant lot in the suburbs and use it as a warehouse and loading/unloading center."
"Understood. Which person would you like to be in charge of?"
"Then let's choose Jiang Yuan and Fang Zhi as the heads of the North. The Central region will be handled by An Huanwen and Ma Yaohui. Let them arrange for supplies to be shipped from the North to the Central region. Anything is fine—grain, products from every factory—they can be transported directly from here to the Central region."
The work in Haishi was handed over to Yu Jiang and Yang Zhiyong, who both relied on service companies. They also made arrangements with each factory, and the freight costs were handled according to my instructions. Each truck needed two drivers, and we also needed to train a group of people to repair vehicles.
"Yes, Madam, I will find someone to improve it as soon as possible. Should we also appoint a person in charge for this?"
"Is Wang Xiuqin in charge of the service company?"
"yes."
"Then let Sang Hongxiu be in charge of the logistics company."
"Yes, I will call her and have her prepare a report."
"Okay, that's fine. I'll leave it to them. Tell Huang Yanqiu to pay the money in full right away."
Zhang Hongmei finished explaining her work. "Lu Jing, do you think I was a bit too harsh on Jinsong? He's still a child."
"Madam, raising a tiger is a dangerous thing. Although he will never become a tiger, I'm afraid he will use your and the leader's names to do things in the future."
"Yes, I've raised this child to the point of exhaustion. Alright, let's leave it at that. Let him go back to Liujiatun. I hope he can make something of himself in the future."
"Madam, his success will only make him hate you more."
"It's okay. I still hope he can be successful. What happens in the future is just our own speculation. Those are things that haven't happened yet."
They've also set up a service company in the city back in our hometown. They let the young men in the village learn car repair if they want, prioritizing those from the village first. But they have to be of good character. Never mind, I'll just call my uncle."
"Madam, you didn't eat lunch. They'll bring up a bowl of three-ingredient steamed egg custard in a little while. Please eat it first."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing, I'll make a call."
Zhang Hongmei dialed Liu Aimin's home phone and told him about the opportunity to learn car repair.
"That's a good thing, that's a skill."
"Uncle, is Liu Jingsong going back with the car this time?"
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Hongmei recounted the whole story, including his jealousy and rejection of Zhenye and the others.
"Uncle, I'm afraid this child will cause even bigger trouble when he grows up."
"Then send it back. I'll keep an eye on it."
Liu Aimin cursed inwardly, thinking, "It's true what they say, like begets like. A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and a rat's son knows how to dig a hole."
“Hongmei, the old principal’s house is empty, let him live there.”
"Okay. Please keep a close eye on him, I'm afraid he'll become too carefree."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll arrange it."
Zhang Hongmei put down the phone, let out a long sigh, and felt that she had been too cruel. Memories of their life together flooded her mind.
When the steamed egg custard was served, Zhang Hongmei put it directly into her ring, wrote a note on it, and told Zhang Shouyi to eat it.
Someone who was busy pulled out the steamed egg custard from the ring, ate it happily, and the office was filled with its aroma, though it couldn't be smelled from outside.
Dinner that evening was seafood noodles, which smelled especially delicious, and Zhang Hongmei ate a big bowl of it.
"You silly girl, you never lift the lid on the pot for one meal, but you eat about the same amount twice. Walk around outside a bit more later, or you'll feel uncomfortable," Gu Chuanming scolded Zhang Hongmei.
"Grandpa, shall we go play on the beach again?"
“Alright. Let’s go, let’s set off.” Zhou Shixiong was in a bad mood. Zhang Hongmei felt that he was dissatisfied with Zhang Shouyi, and there was nothing that could be done about it.
So they pushed him out anyway. The three little girls watched them leave from the shadows and followed behind them.
The bodyguards had already noticed. They reported it to Zhou Shixiong.
"Let them come along; they're probably unsure and scared."
With Zhou Shixiong's word, the three of them wouldn't dare to go against him over such trivial matters.
However, Zhang Hongmei knew Zhou Shixiong somewhat; he was genuinely soft-hearted, though she didn't know if it was because he was old or because he was just like that.
The children are still exercising, and they are still somewhat unaccustomed to Liu Jingsong's departure. Although Er Ya and Wang Ying have explained it to them, they still feel that something is missing, after all, they have lived together for so long.
Watching them train so hard reminded me of my sons, and I really wanted to see them.
The earliest they can come back is when Carlos and Annie arrive.
Time, please pass quickly, so they can grow up and come back soon.
The three little girls watched them from afar, but didn't have the courage to come over.
