The cool air on Shen Jianan's face snapped him back to reality. Looking up, he saw sleet beginning to fall, so he pedaled his bicycle faster to hurry home.
Before long, he reached the primary school at the edge of the village, arriving just as the furniture factory was delivering desks and chairs. In the Star River Town area, there was no such thing as "home" or "office" furniture; everything was sold in sets. Shen Jianan glanced at them from a distance. The style was acceptable—the classic long desks used in 1980s primary schools, equipped with semi-open drawers, were quite practical. Each desk came with two chairs, the backs of which extended slightly higher, perfect for hanging schoolbags or water bottles without them sliding off, leaving the drawers free for textbooks. To be honest, Shen Jianan thought they were much better than the "environmentally friendly" particleboard desks he had used in school, which cost hundreds of yuan a set and seemed to offer no discernible benefit.
"Brother Jianan! Educated Youth Shen! You're back?"
