Originally, Fang Chaoyang wanted to hail a taxi, but Du Ruo knew that the Courtyard House was still quite a distance from the train station, and taking a taxi wouldn’t be cost-effective.
The two of them took several buses and reached the train station.
Only after they had seen her onto the train and found her a seat did they leave.
"You should go back now!"
He saw her onto the train and got off. He stood outside her window, not leaving right away.
"Wait for you, no hurry."
The train clattered slowly away.
Sitting on the bunk, Du Ruo could still see him standing there, waving his hand.
Having seen off Du Ruo.
The festive atmosphere was drawing nearer.
The garment factory had also started distributing New Year goods and had confirmed the holiday dates—from the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month to the sixth day of the first lunar month.
The garment factory workers were all surprised by such a long holiday.
Because in the past, the factory would at most give a day off on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it was even done in shifts.
However, the holiday applied only to the workers, not the few security guards who were not only not given any time off, but were also reminded to patrol more diligently.
In return, they received a high bonus for the New Year.
The security guards had no objections.
It was not just the elderly gatekeeper.
Although the garment factory was not very large, the security department impressively comprised eight people, rotating day and night shifts.
As for the clothing store employees, their benefits stayed the same, with holidays from New Year’s Eve to the fifth day of the New Year.
They were given holidays too.
Whether it was in Capital City or Shanghai, it was the same.
The electronics stores did not allow Cao Dali and Zhao Tianhe to buy shares, but they also had workers whose benefits remained unchanged.
"Next year, I plan to produce fans. Do you two want to buy shares in it?"
Zhang Lanhua didn’t know.
Wang Yuemei was even more clueless.
Cao Dali and Zhao Tianhe agreed.
"Third Brother, we’re with you on this."
"Yes, Third Brother, we’re with you on this."
"Er Dan, your Brother Da Li and Brother Xiao He need to go back to their hometown for some repairs, and they need you to take over their shifts for a few days."
To be cautious, Cao Dali and the others had decided to leave earlier.
Even they needed to exit Capital City earlier.
But he was just following his wife to her mother’s house.
"Third Brother, I have no objections. The master’s shop is not busy lately, I’ll speak with him," Er Dan had no objections either.
He had previously thought he wouldn’t be much help anyway.
Now that he could finally be of help, he couldn’t be happier.
So the arrangements were made.
Cao Dali and his group were going back to their brigade tomorrow.
Tonight, Zhao Tianlei was having them over for dinner, essentially holding an early New Year’s celebration.
"Third Brother, I’ll patrol the area more."
It was almost New Year’s, and the Public Security was busier, fearing the increase in petty thefts that unsettled people.
Yun Xiaoxiao looked over at Zhao Xinxin and asked softly, "Do you vomit?"
Zhao Xinxin shook her head with a smile, "Not really, my in-laws are especially good to me."
They were even happier when they learned she was pregnant.
If it wasn’t for her insistence on going to work, they wouldn’t want her to work at all for the time being.
Every day, her husband personally drove her to and from work.
"That’s good. If unsure, just ask your mother-in-law and your elder sister-in-law; they’ve been through it all. You can also ask your brother-in-law to consult Grandma Fang."
After getting pregnant, tastes really do change a lot.
Some start suffering from severe morning sickness as soon as they become pregnant, vomiting bile, and it doesn’t stop until the birth.
She hadn’t seen such cases herself, but she had heard about them.
"Sister-in-law, I understand."
Now that Zhao Xinxin was pregnant, she realized it wasn’t that she couldn’t conceive.
