At this time in Zhang Weiye's office
"Have you thought it through?" Zhang Weiye looked up at the two people's resignation applications and asked. These two people were the best apprentices he had taught over the years. Seeing that they were both leaving, he felt a little regretful.
"You want to quit too?" Zhang Weiye turned to look at Jiang Dashi. He could understand He Chuan leaving; he'd gotten into university, the most prestigious in the country, Peking University, and had a promising future. But Jiang Dashi, what were you saying? You didn't even get into university, did you? Why are you quitting? He couldn't even get that job.
"Well, I've thought it through. The sports car I've been driving during this period has shown me that the world is big and other places are more exciting. I don't want to stay in this place all my life. I want to try my luck somewhere else." Jiang Dashi said with a firm and longing look in his eyes.
Zhang Weiye sighed. "I'm old. This is the world of the young. The times are moving too fast. They can't keep up." Think of them. They're all stuck on the same path until they grow old. They usually find a job and stick with it until they can't move anymore. They wouldn't think of stepping out of their comfort zone and striving elsewhere.
"Okay, Master wishes you all the best and a bright future." Zhang Weiye signed their resignation letters in agreement.
"Thank you, Master. We will come back to see you when we have time." The two bowed 90 degrees to Master Zhang before turning around and leaving.
The two men took their resignation letters and went to other departments to complete all the formalities. They also said goodbye to their brothers in the transport team one by one before leaving the transport team.
After leaving the transport team, He Chuan and Jiang Dashi parted ways. He Chuan still had to buy a ticket, while Jiang Dashi returned to his home in the town.
After parting with Jiang Dashi, He Chuan first had a bowl of noodles at a state-owned restaurant before going to the train station. The train station was bustling with people, everyone carrying large and small bags of food, filling the small space to the brim.
After waiting in line for more than an hour, I finally bought the ticket.
The man frowned at the ticket in his hand. It was a hard seat. He had originally wanted to buy a sleeper, but with so many people returning to the city after the college entrance exam, the sleepers were already sold out. He could only buy three hard seats, but thankfully the seat numbers were consecutive.
He Chuan put the train ticket in his pocket and went to the county supply and marketing department for a walk. He bought a few bottles of Moutai, a few packs of cigarettes, and two pieces of jewelry at the jewelry counter.
Only after everything was ready did He Chuan return by car.
It was almost evening when he returned to the village. He Chuan walked home under the glow of the setting sun.
Hearing a sound at the door, Su Tao stopped cooking and turned to look at her, "You're back."
"Have you bought the train ticket? Why are you buying so many things?" Su Tao immediately came forward and asked while swiftly taking the items from the man's hand.
Su Tao opened the package and saw that it contained cigarettes, alcohol and the like.
"Why are you buying these?" He Chuan doesn't smoke, and although he doesn't know how to drink, he doesn't drink most of the time.
"These are for your dad." It's not good to come empty-handed on your first visit.
He Chuan then took out two exquisite velvet boxes from his pocket and said, "These are for you and your mother. Do you like them?"
"And mine?" She didn't expect He Chuan to be so thoughtful. She hadn't even thought about what gift to bring back for her father, but he had thought of everything and even bought her a gift.
Su Tao took the box and opened it. It was a pure gold sand bead bracelet. The bracelet was made of 3mm beads strung together, with one light and one sand alternating. The texture was rich, delicate and layered. There was an extended tail chain at the end of the bracelet inlaid with a heart-shaped gold piece, which was both beautiful and could adjust the size of the bracelet.
"I like it very much, thank you." Such a bracelet is considered a fine product in this era. Su Tao handed the bracelet to He Chuan.
He Chuan was not as stunned as he was last time when he gave Su Tao the watch. He took it and helped Su Tao put it on. The bracelet shone charmingly in the sunset, making Su Tao's hand look even more translucent like white porcelain.
Su Tao opened another box, which contained a peony-shaped brooch. The shape was full, the form was smooth, and it looked lifelike, noble yet gentle.
Su Tao looked at the peony brooch in amazement. It must have weighed at least 20 grams, so it would probably cost several thousand yuan. This man really spared no effort to please his wife, and he was really willing to spend so much.
Su Tao put the brooch back into the box, handed it back to He Chuan, and smiled: "My mother will definitely like it."
