After the Lantern Festival, Huo Yingjie returned to his unit.
He Tiantian also started school.
The year 1981 had begun.
Responding to Huo Yingjie's earlier request, Chief Engineer Sun and a few other leaders discussed and decided to implement a standard rest system to ensure the researchers had sufficient rest time and maintained their health.
Huo Yingjie was fortunate to receive special treatment.
He could take two days off each week. He would leave work on Friday and head to the train station. After about three hours, he would be home by around eight or nine o'clock. Then, on Sunday afternoon, he would take the car back and arrive at the unit by six in the evening.
For Huo Yingjie's first weekend home visit, he didn't tell He Tiantian in advance, wanting to surprise her.
It was already evening. Grandma Wang had gone to bed, and He Tiantian was reading, so she got up to answer the door.
