Chapter 127 127, the end of the main text

At the end of 1987, Zhao Dagang completed the retirement procedures and officially started a new journey in life.

Qiao Zhenzhen specially held a small retirement ceremony for him, inviting Gu Lao and several of Zhao Dagang's old friends.

Then during the meal, Qiao Zhenzhen suddenly had an idea and asked the old comrades if they wanted to go on a spontaneous trip, which could be regarded as a reward for their hard work for so many years.

Except for Gu Lao, the others were already idle at home and had plenty of time.

Qiao Zhenzhen casually suggested several coastal cities with pleasant climates, which were just right for this season. She also said that she could lead the team and ensure that everyone could have a good time, and all expenses were covered.

Zhao Dagang agreed immediately, and his friends also thought it was a good idea, but they insisted on paying for it themselves. Qiao Zhenzhen couldn't persuade them, so she collected 2,000 yuan from each person as a token of her intention, and would refund or supplement them after they returned.

The topic at the dinner table suddenly changed from retirement to travel. Everyone was discussing it with great interest. As the only regular office worker present, Mr. Gu was extremely envious of them as they were about to go out to travel. So he slammed the table and said, "No, I have to go too. You all wait for me. I will go to the company to ask for leave tomorrow."

So, three days later, Qiao Zhenzhen and Song Jin set off with a group of old men.

Qiao Zhenzhen originally didn't plan to let Song Jin go, but Song Jin was worried that it would be hard for Qiao Zhenzhen to take care of them alone, so he insisted on going with them.

Zhao Dagang immediately exposed him: "If you can't bear to leave Zhenzhen, just say it directly. Why use us as a cover? Although we are old, we are still strong and healthy. We don't need Zhenzhen to take care of us at all."

Since Song Jin was going, Qiao Zhenzhen simply took Song Youyou with her. As for the two brothers Song Dabao, they stayed at home to study.

The group played for almost half a month before returning slowly and contentedly. Qiao Zhenzhen took a lot of photos for everyone. After returning, she quickly sent the film rolls to the photo studio for development, and then gave a copy to each of the old comrades, and even thoughtfully put them in an album and sent them over.

Along the way, Qiao Zhenzhen took great care of everyone and arranged the itinerary very well. There was time for fun and time for leisure. People didn't feel tired, but felt very relaxed and comfortable, so they didn't want to come back.

Lao Qian also told Zhao Dagang that he envied him for having such a sensible and considerate daughter-in-law, and said that everyone should go out to play once a year in the future, and let Qiao Zhenzhen lead the team.

Qiao Zhenzhen and her friends didn't stay at home for long, and Song Dabao and his brother had their winter vacation, so they started packing their luggage and preparing to return to Hongqi Village.

This year, Qiao Zhenzhen plans to go back early for the Spring Festival. She not only plans to sell the three factories in Changfeng Town to her brothers, but also sell the Haoduojia supermarket chain owned by Liu Xiaoming's cousin.

Now this supermarket chain has opened in the provincial capital, and there are hundreds of stores in the province, all of which are run by Liu Xiaoming.

Qiao Zhenzhen has few opportunities to come back, and she has provided little help to this supermarket except for some functions at the beginning. It is all up to Liu Xiaoming himself to get to where he is today.
