Chapter 1458: A Reunion Year in the True Sense

Jiangzhou!

After Pu Zhenrong and Zhou Andong finished lunch, they went to the municipal government guesthouse to rest.

Zhou Andong returned to the winery. Just as he entered his office, his eldest aunt's husband, Li Xianghui, and his old aunt's husband, Duan Chunsheng, arrived.

"Eldest Aunt's husband, Old Aunt's husband, why have you come?"

Zhou Andong poured tea for the two, then sat on the sofa.

Li Xianghui said: "The company is on holiday. At noon, your Old Aunt's husband and I stewed some lamb chops. After drinking, there was nothing to do, so we ran over to your place."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "If you hadn't come, I would have had to call you."

Li Xianghui asked suspiciously: "What is it?"

"Tonight, my eldest uncle and the others will arrive." Zhou Andong took out cigarettes again and lit one for Li Xianghui and Duan Chunsheng: "We are going to Jingcheng tomorrow, so you need to prepare as well."

"We have no problem here, and there's nothing to prepare." Li Xianghui took a puff of his cigarette: "Your eldest aunt and old aunt can't get away; now is the peak season for cigarette, alcohol, and beverage sales."

Click—Zhou Andong pressed the lighter and lit his cigarette: "Just hand it over to the people below. It's only for these few days; how busy can they be?"

"You have to tell them that." Duan Chunsheng said in a muffled voice: "When we speak, they treat it like farting; it's of no use at all."

Zhou Andong couldn't help but laugh and checked the time: "I haven't been to the agency point for a long time. Since there's nothing to do, let's go over and take a look."

"Let's go!" Li Xianghui said, stood up, and walked out: "Are the people from Wanwan coming over too?"

"Hmm!" Zhou Andong nodded: "I reckon it will be within these two days."

The three left the factory area and got into the Toyota 4500 (Desert Prince), also known as the later Land Cruiser, which Li Xianghui had bought just a few months ago.

Zhou Andong got in the car and bounced his butt: "How much is this car?"

"I entrusted someone to get it; it cost 680,000 in total." Whenever the price was mentioned, Li Xianghui felt a bit of heartache: "I just think this car has a high chassis, and it's much more convenient to drive to construction sites than a sedan."

"Not bad." Zhou Andong nodded and asked Duan Chunsheng: "Old Aunt's husband, why don't you buy a car?"

"I don't know how to drive." Duan Chunsheng shook his head: "Besides, your Old Aunt bought one; why would I buy a car?"

Hearing Duan Chunsheng's words, Li Xianghui got angry: "He hitches a ride in my car every day. If there's anything, he lets the driver drive my car. If I have something to do, I either drive the company's Buick business car or the van."

Duan Chunsheng didn't care: "I just think the car is enough; there's no need to buy another one. Besides, I'm a bit clumsy; I might not be able to learn how to drive."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "Old Aunt's husband, I think you'd better buy a car. It's not appropriate for a company boss not to have a car. If you don't know how to drive, just find a driver, right?"

"Look." Li Xianghui said: "Dongzi said the same thing, right?"

"Alright."

Duan Chunsheng hesitated for a moment and agreed. He might not listen to others, but he had to listen to Zhou Andong.

"What car do you want to buy?" Zhou Andong asked: "I'll find someone to get it for you; it can be much cheaper."

"I don't know." Duan Chunsheng shook his head: "I don't understand these things."

Zhou Andong thought for a moment: "Then let's go with a Crown."

In this era in China, the options for cars were too low, and Japanese cars occupied the majority.

Mercedes and BMW were not quite suitable for Duan Chunsheng right now, and he probably wouldn't be willing to spend that much money.

Then he could only buy a Crown; it could be had for 500,000 or 600,000, which was acceptable for Duan Chunsheng now.

"You make the call." Duan Chunsheng nodded.

The large courtyard behind the agency point was full of small trucks loading goods.

As for the large trucks, they were no longer allowed in and were all parked on the roadside outside.

The loading workers were all hired temporarily. In the middle of winter, they were busy and sweating, but everyone was working very energetically.

Because they were paid by the piece, they were paid for every piece of goods loaded.

Li Xianghui's car couldn't get in either and had to be parked far away, so they walked over.

"Dongzi, why have you come?"

Zhou Xiufang was busy directing the loading. As soon as she looked up, she saw Zhou Andong and the others.

"I came to take a look." Zhou Andong said: "Does this still need you to be busy with it?"

Zhou Xiufang said with a smile: "Staying idle is just staying idle. Besides, being this busy, I'm not at ease."

"What's there to be uneasy about?" Zhou Andong shook his head: "Make arrangements. My eldest uncle and the others will arrive tonight, and we will leave tomorrow."

"Ah?" Zhou Xiufang said: "So fast? Isn't there still quite a few days until the New Year?"

"What are you going to Jingcheng for? Just to eat a New Year's Eve dinner?" Li Xianghui said angrily: "Third Uncle's family is also going to spend the New Year in Jingcheng. I reckon they will arrive within these two days. People from Wanwan have already arrived, and you haven't gone yet; is this appropriate?"

"My eldest aunt's husband is right." Zhou Andong said: "It's been decades, but this year is the first time for our Old Zhou family to have a reunion year in the true sense.

When you go, I don't really care, but you have to be prepared to be scolded by my grandfather. If things go wrong, he might kick you, his daughter, out of the Old Zhou family."

"Pfft!" Zhou Xiufang laughed: "To avoid being kicked out of the Old Zhou family by your grandfather, if we leave tomorrow, then we leave tomorrow."

Zhou Andong didn't continue this topic but asked: "Where is my old aunt?"

"She went to buy food." Zhou Xiufang said: "We've been so busy that everyone hasn't eaten yet."

Just as Zhou Andong was about to speak, a middle-aged man wearing a military coat, a cotton hat, and a face full of beard walked over hesitantly.

"Zhou... Chairman Zhou, hello."

Zhou Andong looked at the middle-aged man and reached out his hand: "Hello."

Looking at Zhou Andong's extended hand, the middle-aged man was stunned, then quickly wiped his hand on his coat a few times and grabbed Zhou Andong's hand.

"Chairman Zhou, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Zhou Andong said with a smile: "This agency point belongs to my two aunts. There was nothing to do today, so I came to take a look."

At this time, others also recognized Zhou Andong, and one by one, they all surrounded him.

"Chairman Zhou, hello!"

"Chairman Zhou!"

"Hello, Chairman Zhou!"

"..."

Before Zhou Andong could speak, he had already received a handful of business cards.

Zhou Andong put the business cards away and chatted with the surrounding merchants for a while.

Then he walked around the agency point and went to the office again.

He stayed until it was almost dark, and Zhou Xiufang and Zhou Xiurong had also finished explaining everything.

Then the group drove to the winery and got out of the car at the main gate. Zhou Andong checked the time; it was already past five o'clock.

"At noon, they arrived at Panhe. No matter how bad the road is, I reckon they are almost here."

His voice had just fallen when a bus drove over from afar and soon arrived at the main gate.

Immediately after, the bus door opened, and Yin Jisheng was the first to jump off the bus. ===== CHAPTER 1459 =====
