He didn't pay much attention at first, but the voice was indescribably mysterious.

"Well, we'll set off tomorrow and arrive at Shiligou the day after tomorrow. We're carrying cotton and cloth, not goods from the cotton mill. I guess it's a private job... The driver is a young man, and all the goods belong to him... He should have money..."

When night fell, the goods were packed and covered with waterproof cloth. The truck was parked in the grain depot overnight, ready to leave tomorrow morning.

In response to this, Zhang Gongzheng's father patted his chest and guaranteed that everything would be fine.

Because Zhou Qi was going on a long journey, he went to find Lin Ruixue.

Zhou Qi stepped forward and panted, "Ruixue, I have to go out and deliver goods to a distant place."

"then you……"

Before she finished her words, Zhou Qi embraced her. Her body shook slightly, and she stopped talking. She didn't resist, nor did she make any unnecessary movements, just letting Zhou Qi hold her quietly.

"When I come back, all the problems will be solved and I will have a better life." Zhou Qi promised.

Lin Ruixue's eyes could not help but turn red. No wonder Zhou Qi had been getting up early and going to bed late these days...

"When you're out, it's different from being at home. Whether you make money or not is a small matter. Safety is the most important thing. Take good care of yourself!" Lin Ruixue warned, her words full of tenderness.

Hearing this, Zhou Qi patted her back gently and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will come to marry you when I make money!"

Marry me? What does that mean? Lin Ruixue's heart trembled suddenly, and her face flushed unconsciously.

Zhou Qi noticed her strangeness and asked jokingly, "Why, you don't want to?"

"How...how could that be possible..." Lin Ruixue quickly changed the subject, "Wait...let's talk about it when you come back."

"Haha, that means you agree!" Zhou Qi laughed loudly: "I will come to marry you soon!"

The two chatted for a long time before reluctantly parting.

Zhou Changchun was worried when he learned that Zhou Qi was about to leave, and the atmosphere at home became a little heavy. As for Zhou Qi, Lin Ruixue had a temporary job, and the family had no worries about food and drink, and everything was taken care of, so he felt at ease.

Because they had to set out on the journey tomorrow, Zhou Qi rested early.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Zhou Qi was awakened by the noise outside. He stood up and saw Zhou Changchun busy making pancakes, with a stack of pancakes next to him wafting with fragrance.

Obviously, Zhou Changchun got up early on purpose to prepare for him on the road. Although his father didn't say much last night, this silent care and watching his busy figure made Zhou Qi feel warm in his heart.

Feeling the movement behind him, Zhou Changchun turned around and saw that it was Zhou Qi. He hurriedly wiped his hands on his apron and looked a little embarrassed: "Did I wake you up?"

"I thought it would be hard for you to find food on the road, so I made these cakes. They can be kept for a few days. I..."

"Okay, I'll bring it with me later. Dad, you should take good care of yourself at home too."

But when he turned to face the pancakes in the pan, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of worry in his eyes.

After breakfast, Zhou Qi packed up and prepared to leave. His father saw him off to the door.

Zhou Changchun said: "Come back soon!"

After hearing this, Zhou Qi just smiled heartily, waved his hand and said, "Let's go." He picked up the bag, threw it over his shoulder, put one hand in his pocket, hummed a little tune, and left in big strides.

Zhou Changchun felt mixed emotions as he watched the receding figure. Yes, in just a few days, the atmosphere at home had changed. Just as Zhou Qi said, he had to support this family.

When Zhou Qi arrived at the granary, Liu Zimin, Cao Qinquan, Zhang Gongzheng and Ma Defu were already waiting there.

"Brother Qi, you have to go and come back quickly. I have invested a lot of money. If something goes wrong with this batch of goods, you will have to support me." Zhang Gongzheng said half-jokingly.

"Go to hell, can't you say something auspicious? Besides, your stuff is nothing compared to mine and Qin Quan's." Ma Defu glared at him, then turned to Zhou Qi and said seriously, "Brother, I trust you, that's why I'm doing this with you, don't let me down."

"Don't worry." Zhou Qi replied calmly. He was about to set off and didn't want to cause any trouble.

Cao Qinquan didn't say much, and smiled at Zhou Qi: "Brother Qi, I'm not good at talking, so I wish you a safe journey and wait for your triumphant return!"

Zhou Qi also smiled, patted Cao Qinquan's shoulder heavily, then took a quick step, jumped onto the truck, opened the cab door, and sat down.

"Brothers, let's go!" He said hello, and with a "bang", the car door closed.

Liu Zimin turned the key, the engine roared, and Zhou Qi's blood seemed to boil with the vibration of the car body, and his heart was filled with excitement. After working so hard for so long, he finally waited for this moment.

This truckload of cargo is the key to a new era for him. Whether it will be a glorious or mediocre success depends on this business.

The destination of this trip is Heilong City, which is more than 1,200 kilometers away.

The reason for choosing this place is that it is early autumn and there is a shortage of cotton cloth in the north; secondly, the distance is far enough that the cotton mill actually has a direct line to Heilongjiang City, and according to the distribution plan given by Zhang Wenhui, the transportation volume to the north has increased significantly, which means that at the moment, there is a shortage of supplies there and the market is crying out for supplies.

But when he got on the road, Zhou Qi found that this journey was not easy. At that time, there were few highways, and even decent national highways were few and far between. The road was full of potholes, and the car speed could not be increased. Zhou Qi was so bumpy that he almost threw out his breakfast.

"Boss Zhou, you don't drive a car often, right? This is your first time?" Liu Zimin joked, "If you're not comfortable, I can drive slower."

Along the way, the two chatted occasionally. After all, there was nothing to do on the big truck except chatting, and it was very boring.

"It's okay, you'll get used to it." Zhou Qi waved his hand, but looking at the endless bad road ahead, he was still worried, afraid that he would accidentally overturn the car. "Master Liu, how many times have you walked this road?"

"Oh, I've lost count." Liu Zimin laughed, "I've been running this route for more than three years. It takes seven or eight days to go back and forth. I go home to rest for a few days before running the next trip. I make two trips a month at most, but this month, including this trip, is already the third time."

Obviously, Zhang Wenhui called Liu Zimin back when he was resting.

"Master Liu, I'm sorry to bother you with your rest!" Zhou Qi said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's okay." Liu Zimin said with a smile, "I'll get some sleep at home and I'll be fine. I wish the factory would give me more work, the more I work, the more I'll earn. We have to obey the work assigned by the leaders, right?"

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "Master Liu, the factory is the factory's. So, after this trip, I will personally give you an extra fifty."

"Oh, that's embarrassing." Liu Zimin declined.

"Master Liu, this is just a small gift. Don't refuse it." Zhou Qi insisted.

When Liu Zimin heard this, he was overjoyed. Fifty yuan! He could make some extra money on this trip.

"Then I won't be polite." Liu Zimin said with a smile, and then reminded, "Boss Zhou, this stretch of road is not safe, you have to be alert when you go to bed at night, don't fall into a deep sleep, or you won't know what's going on and your goods might be stolen."
