September 1st, the kids start school.
Zhang Lan has been eagerly awaiting this day with great anticipation, and is beside herself with joy, feeling a great sense of relief.
In the morning, she assisted Zhao Hongxing and other colleagues in catching some long-time VCD sellers at the ferry terminal. After having lunch at the Lingda Car Ferry canteen, she rushed to the Port Supervision Department on her light motorcycle, as usual, using the lunch break as an opportunity to hang out with Han Xiangning.
"Wouldn't it be better to take a nap at noon? You come with our car in the morning, return with our car to the city in the evening, and always come here at noon; you're practically becoming one of our unofficial employees."
"Did you know that taking naps at noon makes you gain weight?"
"Really?"
"I'm not kidding; I read about it in a magazine."
