After another day of sleeping in the open air, Jiang Yan and Qin Song finally arrived at the county town!

Jiang Yan was driving, and Qin Song was sitting in the passenger seat. He rested his right hand on his chin, looking at the familiar streets outside and sighed, "Oh my god! I'm finally back!"

Then he turned his head and looked at Jiang Yan, "Are you hungry? Do you want to go eat something first?"

Jiang Yan looked at the surrounding scenery. He was actually quite hungry at the moment. "Let's go back to the transport team first and hand in the food before we go eat!"

Qin Song heard Jiang Yan's words and did not refute, "That's fine!"

They drove the car all the way back to the transport team and went to hand over the items first.

The person in charge of registration smiled when he saw the two of them. "Hey! Jiang Yan and Qin Song, you're back? This trip took quite a while, didn't it?"

The person in charge of registration is called Master Chen by everyone. He used to be an experienced driver of the transport team. Later he retired due to a leg injury and now helps with registration work in the team!

Qin Song looked at Master Chen and said with a smile, "Who said it wasn't? I feel like I've lost a lot of weight. I need to replenish it when I get back!"

After hearing what Qin Song said, Master Chen said, "Why do young people need so much fat on their bodies? It's better to be thinner and look more energetic!"

Jiang Yan took out a cigarette and handed it over, "Come on, Master Chen, have a cigarette!"

Jiang Yan himself doesn't like smoking, but in their line of work, sometimes when they meet someone on the road, handing over a cigarette makes the conversation easier, so he always carries cigarettes with him!

Master Chen took the cigarette from Jiang Yan with a smile and asked, "Can I rest for a few days after coming back this time?"

Jiang Yan really wanted to rest for a few more days. "I don't know yet. After we register with you, we'll go ask and see if we can take a few days off!"

When Master Chen heard Jiang Yan's words, he smiled and nodded, then went to check the goods.

After counting the goods on the truck, Jiang Yan and Qin Song went to the leader’s office to report their experience!

It was mainly Jiang Yan who spoke, with Qin Song occasionally adding a few words!

After the two came out of the boss's office, Qin Song touched his shriveled stomach and said, "Can we go eat now? I feel so hungry that I can swallow a cow!"

Jiang Yan nodded. "Do you want to eat in the cafeteria or go out?"

Qin Song quickly said, "Let's go out and eat. The food in the cafeteria is too bland. I want to eat something good now!"

Jiang Yan thought it was all right, "Alright! Let's go!"

The two of them walked out side by side.

I still met a lot of people on the road, and when I met two familiar people, I would stop and chat with them.

"Jiang Yan? Long time no see? How was your run this time?"

"Brother Chen, it's been a while since we last met. This time, it was alright. The journey was quite peaceful, and we didn't encounter anything. How about you, Brother Chen? Did your run go well?"

Brother Chen: "It went smoothly, it went smoothly. You guys are going out? Then I won't bother you anymore. See you later!"

Jiang Yan: "See you later!"

"Hey, Brother Jiang, Brother Qin? When did you two get back? Did your run go well this time?"

Qin Song looked at the person who came. "Xiao Wu? We just arrived and the run went smoothly. When did you come back?"

Xiao Wu: "I came back the day before yesterday, and I have to start running again tomorrow!"

Qin Song: "Running tomorrow? If you run tomorrow, will it be a short or long distance?"

Xiao Wu: "Brother Qin, I haven't been running for a long time, so I'll just run short distances first. I can run long distances later!"

Qin Song nodded, "Okay, then we'll go first and go get something to eat!"

Xiao Wu: "Okay, okay. Brother Qin and Brother Jiang, see you later."

Qin Song: "Well, see you later!"

Jiang Yan also nodded, "See you later!"

After the two of them finally got out of the transport team's gate, Qin Song immediately urged Jiang Yan, "Hurry up! Hurry up! I'm starving!"

Jiang Yan wasn't particularly hungry originally, but after such a while, he was quite hungry now. The two of them quickened their pace and headed towards the state-owned restaurant.

When they arrived at the restaurant, there weren't many people there. The two of them looked at the small blackboard for today.

There are braised pork, braised chicken, stewed winter melon, cold cucumber, braised eggplant, three-fresh soup, and cold noodles with shredded chicken.

Qin Song was about to order all the dishes, but Jiang Yan stopped him, "Just enough to eat. You know the portions here are quite generous. It would be a waste if you ordered too much!"

In the end, the two of them ordered one braised pork, one braised chicken, one braised eggplant, and one three-fresh soup!

Jiang Yan ordered the dishes, paid the money, and received the ticket!

Every time we go out to eat, you pay for one meal and I pay for another, and we don't argue too much.

Neither of them is the type to be petty!

When the dishes were served, Qin Song didn't bother to talk anymore. He picked up the bowl and started eating. It was obvious that he was very hungry!

Although Jiang Yan was not as exaggerated as Qin Song, he ate a little faster than usual!

In order to hurry on their journey, the two men had not eaten any meat in the past two days, except for roasting a rabbit for lunch that day. They basically just bought steamed buns and pancakes to fill their stomachs.

When he wasn't so hungry anymore, Qin Song slowed down his eating. He asked Jiang Yan, "Are you going back to the transport team tonight, or staying at my place?"

Jiang Yan swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Let's go home directly. The days are long now and it gets dark late. It's not too late to go back after dinner!"

Qin Song nodded. "That's fine. Your bicycle is still with me, right?"

Jiang Yan: "Well, after dinner, I'll go with you to pick up the car, then go back to the transport team to pick up the luggage, and then I'll go straight home!"

The two chatted occasionally while eating, and by the time they put down their chopsticks, all the food on the table had been eaten up.

Not a grain of rice or a drop of soup was left!

After eating and drinking, the two went to Qin Song's house together. He hadn't been back for a few months, so there was a lot of dust in the house and a musty smell.

Qin Song first opened all the windows to let the room air out, "Let's go get our luggage first!"

After picking up their luggage, they both went home.

The sun had already set for a while now. The temperature had dropped a lot compared to the daytime, and there was still a slight breeze.

Jiang Yan rode his bike and rushed home!

When he got home, it was not yet completely dark and everyone in the family had already had dinner.

The whole family happened to be sitting in the yard enjoying the cool air.

Mother Jiang was fanning her eldest grandson with a palm-leaf fan, chasing away mosquitoes. Seeing Jiang Yan pushing the cart into the yard, her eyes lit up and she stood up immediately. "Ayan, you're back? Have you eaten yet?"

When the others saw Jiang Yan coming back, they all stood up.

Jiang Juan jumped up and ran towards Jiang Yan, "Brother, you're back?"

The eldest brother of the Jiang family came over and took Jiang Yan's luggage.

Jiang's mother also came over, "Ayan, what do you want to eat? I'll go get you something to eat."

Jiang Yan parked the car and said, "No need, Mom. I came back after eating!"

"Did you really eat it?"

Jiang Yan nodded, and the whole family surrounded Jiang Yan and asked him questions. Jiang Yan listened and answered patiently!
