Chapter 255: Come and cooperate

"Huh? You said these were potatoes shoveled out of the yard?"

Xia Yan pointed at the cart full of turnover boxes and asked a question.

Sang Zhengyi took a sip of water and nodded. "Yes, I shoveled them all nearby. This is also part of the hotel's territory, so I collected them all and brought them to you."

Sang Guqiu is a reserved and low-key person, with her lips slightly pursed. Although her hair is no longer black and shiny, and her skin has become rough and yellow, she still reveals the elegance of a lady from a noble family.

In stark contrast to her was her younger sister, Sang Yu. Her large eyes held a sly glint, and her expression bore no trace of the aftereffects of her ordeal. Her eyes shone brightly, and she proudly tilted her head back as she drank from the water.

"We're awesome, aren't we? We didn't hide anything, it's all here."

Looking down, they saw that the gaps between their fingers holding the bottle were covered with black mud, and the frostbite on the back of their hands had not yet fully healed.

Xia Yan praised sincerely, "Great."

"No need to thank me, I already feel it." Sang Yu made an exaggerated gesture of patting his chest.

Sang Zhengyi couldn't stand it any longer, "Go upstairs to eat, don't act weird here."

Sang Yu didn't object. She was really exhausted today. She wanted to go back and take a hot bath to have a good rest. "Sister, let's go home. Bye, boss."

She grabbed her sister's hand and disappeared in the next second.

Sang Zhengyi relaxed his shoulders. This girl, why does she get more excited the more tired she is? She should be careful not to say the wrong thing later.

Xia Yan walked to the cart and opened the lid. Inside were neatly arranged black potatoes, a total of 12 full boxes.

"You can take these, no need to send them to me."

"What did you just say?" Sang Zhengyi scratched his ears, suspecting that he didn't hear clearly.

"On this farm, whoever digs it up owns it," she thought, adding, "Except the officials."

"This, are you really going to give it all to us?" Sang Zhengyi raised his voice, instantly attracting the attention of people working nearby.

What were you talking about just now?

What to give him?

What did we miss?

Xia Yan closed the lid and said with a smile, "Well, take it. But I have to remind you that it's best to send these potatoes to a detoxification shop to detoxify them before eating. The fee there is not expensive, and a box is estimated to be around 50 points."

Not to mention now, even before, when Earl and others came to dig potatoes, she didn't charge any fees.

I have enough food, so there is no need to compete with them for food.

Sang Zhengyi felt like he was hit by a huge surprise that fell from the sky. His head was dizzy and his feet were unstable. He supported himself with the potatoes with his hands and only became more sober when he touched the moist soil.

"Boss Xia, this, this is so incomprehensible that I can't thank you enough."

Xia Yan smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was not necessary.

Sang Zhengyi was short of money, and when he heard the number 50, his first reaction was that 12 boxes would cost 600 points, which was really not cheap.

But then I thought, there is a supermarket on Lidai Island, which sells rice, flour, grain and oil. I can cook in the villa, or spend some points in the public kitchen. These potatoes can be fried into many dishes. If you calculate carefully, it is cheaper than eating in the store!

After figuring it out, Sang Zhengyi's heart was overwhelmed with emotion and he was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

He told these words to the others in a trembling voice. Everyone stood up excitedly, with extremely complicated emotions. Those with shallow eye sockets looked at her with tears in their eyes.

"Boss Xia, we, we really can't repay you."

Two lines of tears welled up in his eyes and an uncontrollable sob came from his throat.

Her body was shaking and trembling under the loose clothes, and the knuckles of her fingers that were wiping away her tears were red and swollen and could not bend.

Xia Yan glanced at the red corners of their wrinkled eyes, watching the tears slide across the scars, the slight twitching caused by the stinging of the skin, the disaster was revealed on their faces without reservation.

She softened her voice, "You don't have to repay me. Live well, and things will be better in the future."

"Yes, yes, it will be better! Better every day!!"

Sang Zhengyi is old, but he can't hide the grief in his heart. Familiar faces of joy, anger, and smiles flash through his mind like a movie.

If they had met Boss Xia at that time, would they not have starved to death?

It's all his fault...

Someone firmly grasped my shoulders, and when I looked up, it was her.

"I..."

"I know."

Her eyes were calm, like the dawn that was about to come in the dark night, and the thick darkness contained a heart-pounding and longed-for dawn. Just one glance calmed his heart, which was as if being cut by a knife and full of self-blame and guilt.

"It will be better in the future."

...

"General."

His men couldn't help but call for a stop.

You've been busy for so long, can you please get down to business first?

Those space-based psychics outside were getting almost anxious, and he was also anxious to go to the hotel to lie down and rest.

What can I do? It’s cold here and I don’t want to come back.

Chu Wanfu didn't even raise his head. "What's wrong? Tell me."

The subordinate coughed lightly, "General, apart from the half that should be given to Boss Xia, the rest is arranged in the space. What do you think we should do with it?"

He stopped writing and blew on his cold fingers. "Where's the order?"

"Down there."

He took it out and looked at it carefully, then nodded, "Not bad, a good harvest."

Hmm, then what?

The subordinate's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but take a small step forward.

"Have you prepared all the samples for the research institute?"

"It has been sent out."

Waiting for you, the daylilies have frozen into ice.

Chu Wanfu put down the list and pondered, which made his subordinates who were waiting on the side rub their hands anxiously. He couldn't help but remind them again.

"General, I heard that Boss Xia's fruits and vegetables are halfway through being processed. There's a detoxification shop on her island that says you can stuff your food in there to remove the toxins, and then you can eat it. I don't know if it's true or not."

The subordinates did not dare to make final decisions and always let the boss make the final summary.

Sure enough, the haziness in Chu Wanfu's eyes disappeared. He glanced at him and put the pen away.

"Let's go and work over there."

He pushed open the door and saw eight soldiers with red faces from the cold standing side by side.

Exactly ten people.

Chu Wanfu planned to take a shortcut, "Come, come here."

An electronic voice rang in my ears, "Do you agree that xxx,xx... can enter the villa?"

"agree."

In a flash, they were instantly transferred from the cold office building to the spacious and bright villa.

"This, what is this?" the subordinate exclaimed.

Chu Wanfu glanced at him and replied, "Lidai Island."

His subordinates were shocked. The general was quietly doing something important, secretly renting a villa? Could he bring his wife and children here to settle down?

It looks like there are still family rooms available for rent, so I have to act quickly.

Chu Wanfu led everyone all the way to Lidai Island at lightning speed, and enjoyed a sea drift.

My calves were shaking when I reached the shore.

All the street lights on Lidai Island were turned on, illuminating the surrounding area. All the soldiers were spread out on the beach, eating takeout boxes with relish.

The public kitchen was crowded and very busy, with carts running back and forth and Boss Xia standing opposite "supervising".
