Seeing it was getting late, Suming drove Zhu Chenggui back to the factory where he was on duty.
On the way back, Zhu Chenggui brought up the topic of cigarettes and alcohol, complaining about how life was so tough that he couldn't even afford a little drink.
Suming, being a perceptive person, stopped by a supermarket and specifically bought two bottles of Jiannanchun and a pack of Double Happiness cigarettes for Zhu Chenggui.
For the two hundred yuan worth of goods, Zhu Chenggui kept thanking him and said if there was ever any issue with fish farming, he should just ask. He might be old, but if there was one thing he was skilled at, it was fish farming and fishing.
Though they hadn't spent much time together, Suming could tell that Zhu Chenggui was sly in a peasant-like way and somewhat mercenary, so he had no plans to rely too much on him for fish farming matters.
