Shen Qingqing had a bite to eat and bought a cup of hot coffee at the store.
On her way back to the hotel, she found a public phone booth to call home.
"Qingqing, when are you coming back?" the old man asked on the other end of the phone.
"At most, I'll stay one more week; I will definitely make it back before the New Year."
She went to Shanghai for work.
The old man instructed her to focus on her job and not worry about home, "Just take care of yourself, and when you come home, if the time is right, we'll have Brother Zhixun pick you up at the train station."
Shen Qingqing did not object.
She asked, "I plan to bring some special snacks from Shanghai home, but do you need anything else? I can bring them back in one go."
Shanghai is rapidly developing, and the stores sell many good items.
This time she came to exchange and learn; her colleagues all carry the responsibility of bringing things back for their friends and family.
