A powerful country in scientific research

"Director He, are you healed?" Zhang Qing asked with concern.

"It's almost done. The doctor said it's okay if you push too hard." He Cheng shook his head gently.

"Okay, then Director He, you have to be careful and don't do any hard work. We will take care of everything." Zhang Qing said with a smile.

"I feel at ease with you guys around, otherwise I wouldn't have been away for so long~" He Cheng said with a smile.

Zhang Qing smiled shyly after being affirmed. "Director He, you have been away for so long, the office must have accumulated a lot of dust. I will find someone to help you clean it up. You should have called us before you came, so that we can clean it up in advance. It would be great if you can go directly to the office when you arrive."

He Cheng waved his hand in refusal, "No need to find anyone, I can clean it up myself, there's not a lot of stuff, just wipe the table and sweep the floor, I can still do this, everyone is busy, I won't bother them."

"Okay, then I'll clean up with you." Zhang Qing suggested.

"No need. I can't clean up my small office. I just injured my arm. I'm not a vegetable. The doctor said that moving occasionally will help with recovery. You just go and do your own thing." He Cheng insisted.

"Okay, if you have any questions, you can always come to me." Zhang Qing said worriedly.

"Okay!" He Cheng smiled at Zhang Qing, then turned around and went back to the office.

No one had been in the office for almost a month, but the dust in the room was not as much as he had imagined. He Cheng guessed that maybe someone in the factory would help him clean it from time to time.

He Cheng took a basin to the yard to get some water, soaked the rag, and walked to the desk.

It's the end of the year and the factory is very busy. Although He Cheng, as the factory director, is not here, his desk is still piled with various reports so that he can take a look at them as soon as he comes back.

He Cheng put the documents on the chair first and started to wipe the table.

......

Fifteen minutes later, He Cheng finally cleaned up the office.

Looking at the office that had returned to its previous quiet and tidy appearance, He Cheng let out a long breath and sat down on the chair.

I haven't worked like this for a long time. After doing it for a while, I really don't feel used to it.

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

He Cheng moved his gaze to the pile of documents on the table, resigned himself to opening one and began to read it carefully.

Workaholic He Cheng can't stop once he starts working. He stays in the office reading documents until dark when all the workers have left.

It was not until Wang Kaixuan came and knocked on the door and called him that he realized it was already past six o'clock.

Wang Kaixuan leaned against the door with his arms folded across his chest, looking at He Cheng who was sitting at the desk with a smile.

"Director He, it's time to get off work. Stop busying yourself. If you don't go back, you won't be able to have dinner."

He Cheng smiled and stood up to clean the table. After putting the documents he had read aside, he walked to the clothes rack beside him, put on his coat, and then walked towards Wang Kaixuan.

He smiled and said, "How dare I delay Director Wang's meal? Let's go. My aunt brought me some braised food. It's just right to add a dish to everyone in the evening."

Wang Kaixuan patted He Cheng on the shoulder and gave him an affirmative look.

The two of them walked towards the educated youth site, chatting and laughing.

......

In this way, He Cheng returned to Qinghe Brigade and started working every day again.

The difference from before is that Su Ran is no longer in Hai City, so he doesn't have to think about going back to Hai City all the time.

In addition, Su Ran was very busy, so the two of them couldn't even call each other once a day, and sometimes they only called each other once a week.

In this regard, although He Cheng missed Su Ran very much, Su Ran was doing big things after all, and he couldn't disturb her. He didn't have as much ability as Su Ran, and the only thing he could do was to support her silently and not hold her back.

Besides, they will be able to go to Beijing to study together in March, and they will have plenty of time to spend together in the future, so there is no need to rush.

......

Time passed day by day, and soon it was the twelfth lunar month.

The oil mills and farms were very busy throughout the twelfth lunar month, and things didn't get better until the end of the month.

It is the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month, and it is the end of the year when we welcome the new year. The streets and alleys are filled with the festive atmosphere, and Qinghe Brigade is even more filled with it.

The supply and marketing cooperative is bustling with people every day. Several factories in the brigade are distributing New Year's goods these days, and the team members all have happy faces.

The educated youth dormitory has been filled with the festive atmosphere these days, and this festive atmosphere is mainly reflected in the food.

These days, there is meat in every meal. And these meat dishes are not just meat dishes, but big meat dishes, such as braised pork, braised chicken, sweet and sour spare ribs, etc., which are high in oil, salt and sugar. Everyone enjoys eating them so much that the thing they look forward to most every day is eating.

As soon as he got off work, the person in charge of cooking went to the kitchen. Wang Kaixuan guessed that the aroma wafting from the kitchen must be stewing meat again today.

This day is so beautiful~ It is more beautiful than many days in the city~ He doesn't want to go home...

Thinking of this, Wang Kai turned around and looked at He Cheng who was packing his things, and said with a smile: "Director He, do you want a train ticket for tomorrow afternoon?"

He Cheng smiled and nodded. When he thought that he would be able to meet Ranran soon, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Yes, Su Ran, who was far away in Beijing, was ultimately unable to come back for the New Year. The bulletproof vest had been made, and Su Ran was working on a new project with the professors.

It was not easy to come back, and the project was urgent, so she did not come back.

In fact, the factory doesn’t close for holiday so early. He Cheng didn’t have a holiday last month, so he wanted to take a few more days off during the New Year and spend more time with Su Ran and grandparents.

Everyone in the factory knew that Expert Su was going to Beijing, so they were not dissatisfied with He Cheng's behavior of adjusting his leave. Besides, Director He would let them take leave or give them bonuses whenever there was a chance. They all remembered his kindness and would not be ungrateful.

Zhang Qing chuckled and said, "Expert Su has been in Beijing for so long, and he hasn't eaten our food for a long time. Bring some food to Expert Su."

He Cheng nodded and didn't refuse.

In the evening, He Cheng took the bus back to Hai City.

Yes, bus.

Qinghe Brigade has a bus service.

Thanks to the development of several factories in Qinghe Brigade and the treatment provided by the factories, many people from the commune and even Anbei County came to work in the factories of Qinghe Brigade, so the county leaders decided to build a bus service between Qinghe Brigade and the county seat of Anbei County.

If you want to go to Haishi, there are buses that go directly to Haishi in Anbei County.

Although there were buses from Qinghe Brigade to Haishi before, there were only two buses a day, morning and evening. If you missed it, you would miss it. Now that there are buses, you can go back to Haishi anytime you want.

Of course, it must be within the bus running hours, but this is much more convenient than before.

The train ticket to Hecheng is tomorrow afternoon. I will return to Hai City today and have half a day to rest tomorrow morning. I can also go and get the things that Aunt Jiang and Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang prepared for Su Ran, and of course the things that Uncle and aunt Hecheng prepared for Grandma and Grandpa Hecheng.

......

The next afternoon, He Cheng boarded the train to Beijing with many bags of "love".

After spending a long nineteen hours in the car, He Cheng finally arrived in Beijing.

When the train just entered Beijing, He Cheng saw a vast expanse of white outside the window and guessed that it would be very cold today. When he got off the train, a gust of wind blew, and it was so cold that it blew through his down jacket.

He couldn't help but put his hands in his pockets.

It's too cold.

I don’t know whether Ranran is adapting well or whether he is sick.

Coming out of the station with his luggage, He Cheng looked around, thinking about how to get back, when he suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Small town, small town."
