The four walked down the main street of the port city, all with bright smiles on their faces.

All the work is done, I feel so relieved.

Having money in my pocket means I can bring gifts for my family, which is great.

"Jianye, how much money have you made?"

Cao Chai couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Jungang and Long Qiwen looked at Chen Jianye.

They were also very curious. Chen Jianye was helping a small factory in Gangcheng optimize its equipment, earning thirty yuan each time.

They earn money more than ten times faster than them.

I guess I made a lot of money these past two days.

"I earned 150 yuan."

Chen Jianye said with a smile, "I took five orders in total, each order was thirty yuan, and they were all the same price."

"You're really awesome."

Cao Chai sighed.

“We spent five days unloading cargo at the dock and didn’t even earn fifty yuan.”

Zhang Jungang grinned and mocked himself.

"Learning a skill is really useful; you'll be in demand everywhere."

Long Qiwen looked on with envy.

Chen Jianye worked for a little over two days and earned 150 yuan.

They worked for five days and earned about forty yuan.

The gap is too big.

"You don't need to be envious. I can stay in Hong Kong for a few days. I'll be going back soon."

Chen Jianye said with a smile.

"That's true. Actually, Jianye, you're better suited to stay in China. With your abilities, you won't have a bad life anywhere."

"But if you stay in the country, your contribution to the nation will be absolutely the greatest."

Zhang Jungang said.

The four of them chatted as they walked until they arrived at the mall.

Chen Jianye bought a box of mooncakes, a box of peach shortbread, and some candy.

These are the things he bought openly.

While Zhang Jungang and the others were not paying attention, Chen Jianye bought some more and put them into his personal space.

When you enter the country, your luggage will be checked.

If you bring some food back to China, people will turn a blind eye.

If you bring too much stuff, they have the right to confiscate it or even criticize you for bringing it, and then you'll end up losing more than you gain.

Zhang Jungang and the other two also bought items that suited their tastes.

The four were satisfied and returned to the Ministry of Foreign Trade to rest.

The following day, news came from the mainland that the information submitted by Zhang Jungang had been approved, and that Li Jiacheng and Huo Yingdong would be in charge of the sales of Gangcheng Hot.

And also act as an agent for the sales of electric kettles in the surrounding areas of the port city and Europe.

Zhang Jungang sent the relevant information to Li Jiacheng and Huo Yingdong, and then arranged for Cao Chai to buy the tickets.

That evening, the four of them boarded a ship bound for Luohu Port in Guangdong.

Lo Wu is very close to Hong Kong; it takes a little over an hour by boat.

Upon arrival at Luohukou, staff inspected the supplies carried by Chen Jianye and his group.

"Comrade, we are staff members of the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and these are our identification documents."

"This is Comrade Chen Jianye, the deputy chief engineer of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, a talent highly valued by our minister."

Zhang Jungang identified himself.

All four of them brought boxed snacks into the country. If the staff are serious, they can take away the supplies they are carrying.

However, in that case, Zhang Jungang would also have to negotiate with his superiors and the port's leaders.

Many things suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The port staff didn't want to cause trouble for themselves, so they simply checked the luggage of Zhang Jungang and his three companions, and after confirming that there was nothing dangerous, they let them pass.

At 7 p.m., Chen Jianye and his group finished dinner and boarded a ship from Luohukou to Tianjin.

After drifting on the ship for more than a day, the group arrived in Tianjin and boarded a train from Tianjin to Beijing.

After thirty-six hours, at six o'clock in the morning on the third day, Chen Jianye and his group returned to Beijing.

"Finally home."

Chen Jianye let out a long breath.

He was exhausted after drifting at sea for more than a day and changing vehicles back and forth.

The ancients' saying that boats and horses were tiring was not an exaggeration.

Traveling by car or boat is indeed a very tiring experience.

"Comrade Jianye, let's find a place to have breakfast, and then go back."

Zhang Jungang made the suggestion.

"Okay, have something hot to refresh yourself."

Chen Jianye nodded.

The four of them found a breakfast shop on the street, each bought three steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk, and sat on a bench to eat.

"This task has been successfully completed. Everyone has worked hard."

"I will report the details of this work to my superiors. Everyone deserves credit."

Zhang Jungang said.

The group chatted idly, breathing in the chilly air of Beijing and exhaling a puff of white mist.

After breakfast, the group felt much better and waved goodbye.

Chen Jianye walked towards the courtyard house.

He walked for a while and then stopped at a bus stop.

The bus arrived, and Chen Jianye boarded it.

When the bus stopped, Chen Jianye got off. There were still more than 200 meters to go before he reached the courtyard house.

Siheyuan.

Some early risers have already gotten up and emptied their chamber pots.

People are still fetching water.

The courtyard house, which had been silent all night, seemed to come alive, like a pastoral painting that had been painted with color.

Chen Jianye walked up the steps of the gate.

"Hey, Jianye!"

Yan Fugui was brushing his teeth at the door when he saw Chen Jianye and shouted.

"Third uncle."

Chen Jianye chuckled.

"Jianye is back."

"Oh my god, Chen Jianye is back."

"This guy seems pretty energetic."

Everyone rushed over to see Chen Jianye, and they started talking about it.

Someone ran to the Chen family and told Ran Qiuye that Chen Jianye had returned.

Ran Qiuye quickly put on her clothes, handed the child to her mother Lü Qiang, and then rushed outside.

She ran to the front yard and saw Chen Jianye, who looked travel-worn.

"Jianye".

Ran Qiuye rushed forward and hugged Chen Jianye.

"Akiba, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Jianye patted Ran Qiuye on the back.

He was away on a business trip for three weeks, and Ran Qiuye took care of the family all by herself.

The hardships involved are so great that just talking about them makes it clear how difficult it is.

Why are you only getting back now?

Ran Qiuye asked, her voice trembling with tears.

Although Chen Jianye called to let her know he was safe once, Ran Qiuye couldn't help but worry as he waited for her to return.

What good would it do if Chen Jianye were to get into trouble over there and the country awarded the Chen family the title of martyr?

Chen Zhongguo is only this young.

Fortunately, Chen Jianye returned.

Ran Qiuye felt relieved.

"Jianye, come and see your child."

"This guy has grown quite a bit."

Lü Qiang carried Chen Zhongguo as she walked over.

"Mom, thank you for your hard work while I was away."

Chen Jianye took the document from Chen Zhongguo and said sincerely.

“I’m not tired, but Qiuye is. She has to breastfeed and take care of the baby every day.”

"I cook a few meals and do laundry. It's pretty much the same as being at home. What's so hard about it?"

Lü Qiang said with a smile.

"I've finished my business with the people from the Ministry of Foreign Trade this time, and I definitely won't be going on business trips again for a while, so I can spend more time with you all."

Chen Jianye gently patted Chen Zhongguo on the back, thinking to himself, "When I go out again, I'll have to take all my family with me."

Chen Jianye can't control others, but Chen Zhongguo and Ran Qiuye will definitely go out with him.

The family will never have to be separated again.

"Jianye, what did you do in Gangcheng this time?"

"Yes, I was away on a business trip for three weeks. I've been counting it down on my fingers."

"You must have done something big in Hong Kong, right?"

Everyone in the courtyard asked the question.
