Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

Tan Yuan was in real pain and pleasure. She felt like her butt was about to split into four pieces. If she had known this would happen...

Even if she had known this would happen, she probably still wouldn't have asked Zhang Xingguo to help her buy a sleeper ticket. One can't always use favors for these trivial matters, otherwise, when the time comes and she's in a hurry, there might not be any favors left to use.

She also didn't want to develop the habit of relying on others for everything. In such matters, Tan Yuan always knew her limits.

Of course, the premise of all this is that Tan Yuan has no idea what the Zhang family means in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and in the whole of China. If she knew, if she had even the slightest such thought, it would be disrespectful to the Zhang family!

Whenever she was in pain, she would think about the career that was about to begin. This career was different from the previous one in Huaiyin Brigade. As long as she succeeded, she would be able to return to Jing City and return to the sight of those people.

They no longer dared to, and could not, use those shameful tactics against her.

Tan Yuan had her own ideas. Zheng Yong and Yang Yulan hadn't taken a train for many years.

If you want to buy a train ticket for a long trip, you must have a letter of introduction. It is very troublesome to get this thing. Generally, no one would go there unless they really have something to do. In addition, train tickets are expensive nowadays, so many people have never taken one in their entire lives.

The two of them looked at the scenery outside the window and never got tired of it. Compared with Tan Yuan, they seemed even younger in terms of energy.

Tan Yuan did not have time to tell Zhang Xingguo about taking the two teachers back to Hangzhou. In those days, without mobile phones, it was still difficult to contact someone. When she called the number the two often contacted, she learned that Zhang Xingguo was not in Hangzhou. Tan Yuan knew that he must have gone to Yijiang County to check the site and find a suitable address for their jewelry factory.

Zhang Yong and Yang Yulan didn't think anything was wrong about not having a dedicated car to pick them up. Isn't this a very normal thing?

Don’t we all rely on our legs or take the bus?

Cars are the privilege of big shots. In the entire factory, only the factory director can enjoy such treatment. And it has to be a big factory. Ordinary small factories really can't afford it.

I have heard it countless times, whether from poems or from other people's mouths, that this is a good place, one of the best places in China.

This is the couple’s first time in Hangzhou, and everything they see is really new to them.

"Teachers, let's go to your residence first. I'll take you around for a look tomorrow."

In 1976, even Tan Yuan herself had not really traveled around Hangzhou, but there were only so many places in the city, so it should not be difficult to take the two teachers around and act as a tour guide.

Thinking this, Tan Yuan took the two of them to the bus stop.

It's not that I'm stingy and don't want to take the two teachers in a taxi. It's just that there are too few taxis in Hangzhou now. If you wait for a taxi, they might have already taken the bus to their residence.

The factory's initial plan was to be located in Yijiang County, Jinhua City. If the two teachers were to live in Hangzhou, it would seem strange. Tan Yuan did not take them to the guesthouse, but took them directly to the small courtyard where Zhang Xingguo asked her to stay temporarily.

It is called a small courtyard, but this is actually from Tan Yuan's perspective. If we look at it from the perspective of today's people, this courtyard is really not small at all. It is square, with several rooms, and even the kitchen has a dedicated room. It is too spacious.

Zheng Yong and Yang Yulan stared in amazement: "This...this...it's such a big yard, and there are only three of us living there?!"

Both of them couldn't believe their eyes. The yard was so big. If it was to be converted into a factory staff housing compound, it would have to be divided among at least three or four families.

Not enough rooms? What's the problem with not having enough rooms?!

Wouldn’t it be better to just build a few rooms on both sides?

If only they had a house this big...

Not to mention the few children we have now, even if we add a few more, there will be enough!

If the house was big and spacious enough, why would they leave their hometown and travel so far?

The two people were in mixed feelings and randomly chose a room after Tan Yuan's introduction.

These rooms are really great. They are much more spacious than their house and can get sunshine every day.

"We won't be staying here for long. Once the factory chooses a location, we'll have to move there."

Tan Yuan explained that the implication was that they should just make do with it for now and there was no need to rush to buy anything. It would not be too late to buy things slowly after moving in.

Yang Yulan nodded hurriedly. After Tan Yuan left, she pulled her husband Zheng Yong and muttered, "The boss said Tan Yuan was a liar. I was a little unsure at the time. But now that we've come to this, it seems she's not a liar at all. We've clearly fallen into a lucky trap."

If he is really a liar, they will be deceived a few more times.

Who would be such a liar who would cheat two matchsticks with half of their bodies buried in the ground? If he was going to cheat, he would cheat young girls and boys, right?

"The boss is just talking nonsense, just listen to him! Over the years, I've never made a wrong choice for your partner!"

Zheng Yong put his hands behind his back, looking satisfied with his choice again.

How could they not be proud? If it were any other factory, they would definitely take them directly to the guesthouse, why would they bring such a large yard?

Doesn't this prove that the factory is powerful?

It's not just that the factory is strong, there must be a reason why they value the couple. The factory has vision and Zheng Yong has luck. Everything is just right, a perfect match!

Yang Yulan curled her lips and thought to herself that her husband was really lucky. The jewelry he made many years ago has been around for so many years, how could it bring him such a great opportunity?

...I don’t know what the jewelry Comrade Tan Yuan saw looked like. It seems that the couple has never seen it before.

This thought flashed through her mind and was immediately ignored by Yang Yulan.

"Teacher Yang, Teacher Zheng, are you done packing? Come out for dinner..."

Tan Yuan shouted in the yard at the top of her voice, and the two of them packed up before going out to eat.

I have suffered a loss in my previous life, and I must not repeat the same mistake in this life. I can be treated unfairly in anything in this life, but I must not treat my stomach unfairly.

Only by eating and drinking well can you live and enjoy life.

Tan Yuan really can't appreciate the local cuisine of Hangzhou. Having spent quite a bit of time in Sichuan, she is pretty good at cooking Sichuan cuisine, which is simple and easy to learn and tastes pretty good.

Zheng Yong and Yang Yulan originally thought that they would just rest in Hangzhou for two days, and then go to the factory to start work after they had rested. Earning foreign exchange was their common goal.
