Journey 1995:Non-Stop

Chapter 150 Gift
I'm going back to Jianye soon, and then I can use my pager again.

Normally, Yan Hui likes to carry a pager, but he decided against it at the airport because many people have cell phones, and a pager simply won't work.

In fact, Yan Hui had the money to buy a mobile phone; a phone costs around 15,000 to 16,000 yuan, which he could earn back by transporting just one freight carload. But after careful consideration, Yan Hui realized that the current business model was too simple and didn't require a mobile phone.

On the one hand, Yan Hui doesn't need to connect with multiple channels right now; on the other hand, his financial risk tolerance is still too weak. If President Teng terminates the contract, Yan Hui will have to start from scratch in the market, which presents a significant uncertainty.

With a whole bunch of things on my mind, it was finally time to board the plane.

Yan Hui followed the crowd out of the airport and walked two or three hundred meters before seeing the enormous plane he was about to board. It was supposedly a brand-new Boeing 737, and Yan Hui was utterly awestruck by its sheer size! Could this really actually fly?
Yan Hui boarded the plane via the gangway, found his seat, and waited for about 20 minutes before the plane began to move.

Yan Hui sat by the window and felt that flying wasn't so scary after all; the plane wasn't going very fast.

The question is, how can it fly like this? How can it fly at such a slow speed?
The plane slowly moved its position, and after a while it actually stopped. Yan Hui couldn't help but look out curiously.

Why did it stop?

Just as Yan Hui was wondering what was going on, the huge jet engines on the wings started roaring. Yan Hui was suddenly pressed back into his seat, and the ground seemed to be shaking. The roar of the engines grew louder and louder, and Yan Hui's heart was pounding. He felt like he was about to scream out loud.

How can it be so powerful!

The plane's powerful engine made Yan Hui somewhat panicked, but at that moment, the plane took off, and Yan Hui felt his legs go empty.

call.
It was Yan Hui's first time on a plane, and he felt like it was a short time. He was both surprised and scared. Two or three hours later, the plane landed smoothly at Jianye Airport, and Yan Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hey! Airplanes are nothing special!

After getting off the plane, Yan Hui bought some things at the airport. He checked the time; it was a little past 2 PM, so he wasn't in a hurry. He took a taxi and arrived at his cousin's place without any problems.

Yan Hui's cousin wasn't home, but he had a key. After opening the door, Yan Hui found the house in complete disarray again.

The room where Yan Hui used to live was once again filled with all sorts of garbage. Yan Hui really didn't want to clean it up for his cousin, so he left the gift he had given his cousin in the room, locked the door, and left.

Yan Hui didn't bring much with him this time. He gave most of the gifts to his cousin, especially the food he bought at the airport.

He felt relieved after putting down those things, and went out with his bag on his back.

In August in Jianye, the temperature had already reached over 35 degrees Celsius, and everyone on the street was wearing short sleeves. Yan Hui hadn't walked far when he started to feel a bit uncomfortable.

He was originally more adapted to a hot and humid climate, but after spending more than two years in Northeast China, he found himself unable to adapt to the climate at this time of year.

Yan Hui had already eaten on the plane. He had originally planned to visit his cousin as soon as he got back, but now he had lost the mood. Seeing how messy the house was, Yan Hui was speechless.

After thinking about it, he decided to go to the bookstore and buy a few books to take back with him.

Yan Hui's understanding of wood is currently limited to white pine and larch. He knows about other species, but not to a sufficient degree. He needs to bring more books, especially those about ash and birch.

In addition, he also wanted to buy some books on wood processing. He currently knows most about woodworking machinery and calculations, but not much about processing and further processing. With these thoughts in mind, Yan Hui went directly to Xinhua Bookstore.

There was no air conditioning in the bookstore, but several fans were running. Yan Hui found one and blew it on himself, feeling much more comfortable.

At this moment, Yan Hui saw a familiar figure in the distance. Who else could it be but Su Jin?
Su Jin was wearing a white dress and her hair was tied up, but Yan Hui still recognized her at a glance.

Yan Hui was a little confused. If he remembered correctly, today was Thursday. Oh, it was still summer vacation.

Yan Hui moved closer and looked at Su Jin's book from behind. He saw that Su Jin was engrossed in reading the latest issue of "Story Club".

Upon closer inspection, Su Jin was holding two copies of "Story Collection," both from the same period, and it seemed that one of them was bought for herself.

Thinking of this, Yan Hui was naturally very happy and said softly, "Excuse me, could you give me this book?"

"Huh? With me." Su Jin turned her head in confusion, and when she saw Yan Hui, her face instantly lit up with surprise, but then turned angry. "When did you get back? You didn't even tell me beforehand!"

"I was afraid that telling you would interfere with your studies, and besides, I've only been back for a short time this time," Yan Hui said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Huh? When are you leaving?" The whole bookstore was filled with the sound of fans, so the two of them chatting didn't bother anyone else.

"At most a week. I was planning to contact you again on Saturday the day after tomorrow to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect your summer vacation to still be going on today," Yan Hui explained.

"School has already started, but I caught a cold a few days ago and my nose was also bothering me, so I stayed home and rested for a few days. I'll be going back to school next Monday." Thinking about this, Su Jin was very happy. "Then you must bring me a present!"

"Okay!" Yan Hui immediately took out his bag.

He brought Su Jin three gifts. The first was a snow globe; Yan Hui didn't know what it was called, but if you turned it upside down and then right-side up, snowflakes would fall from it. He bought it in Harbin. Fortunately, the "French liquid bomb" incident hadn't happened yet, and liquids could still pass through airport security; otherwise, he might not have been able to bring this gift over.

The second gift was a rosewood comb, which Yan Hui specially asked Lao Guo to help him buy.

The third gift was a bag of Bingcheng red sausage, which Yan Hui thought was really delicious! Since he thought it was good, of course he wanted to bring some for Su Jin.

"You brought me so many gifts? Wow, this crystal ball is so pretty, are there snowflakes inside?" Su Jin took it and examined it carefully.

"At this temperature, snowflakes will turn into water," Yan Hui said truthfully.

"Uh," Su Jin looked at Yan Hui with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, ignored him, and then carefully examined the crystal ball and comb.

Su Jin had certainly seen crystal balls before, but Jianye didn't have this "snowfall" style; it looked really beautiful. Besides that, this wooden comb...
Su Jin was a discerning person; she had never seen a comb of this quality on the market before, and it must be made of huanghuali wood.

Regardless, Su Jin was very satisfied with both gifts. She took out her schoolbag, put both gifts inside, and then picked up the red sausage Yan Hui had given her: "I'm free tonight!"
